Chapter 2066: The inevitable connection between the two ancient cities and the ancient demon kingdom!

"Is it really like that?"

"I feel like something's off. If it were just a warning about danger, Mr. Zhang could have just said so directly."

"Exactly, why go through the trouble of making up a snow monster?"

"Maybe the snow monster is some kind of code. It's possible it's a secret signal agreed upon between Mr. Zhang and someone in the Second Archaeological Team."

"That's a bit too far-fetched. If that were true, it would prove that the relationship between Mr. Zhang and Team Leader Yang is definitely not ordinary."

As they talked, the conversation drifted back to this topic again.

Inside the Crescent Hotel, everyone revealed that same look from before.

In fact, they were even more interested in this matter now than they were in immortality.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the book friends, Zhang Lin understood immediately what direction their thoughts were heading, and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Although Zhang Lin felt quite helpless about their peculiar sense of humor, on any given basis, he could not discuss this matter too much if he didn't want it exposed.

He couldn't even show any other expression. Although he felt helpless inside, his face remained as usual, and he didn't take the bait. He knew that if he were to respond now, he would be jumping right into the pit these people had dug for him.

Because everyone had an eager look hidden in their eyes, if Zhang Lin were to emphasize this matter again, it would mean he had implicitly admitted to it.

And according to Zhang Lin's usual habits, he would never do something as self-incriminating as "there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here."

The crowd paused for a moment, and a look of disappointment couldn't help but flash across their eyes.

Just at this moment, the Second Archaeological Team did not set off immediately, because Uncle Ming and Peter blocked everyone's path.

Uncle Ming still stood behind Peter. This time, what they had to face was not a pack of wolves, but the unknown dangers ahead.

Yang Lu looked at Uncle Ming with her eyes slightly narrowed, and then Wang Kaixuan stepped forward and asked sharply, "What do you mean by this?"

Uncle Ming sighed and said, "I am doing this for everyone's good. It is night now. Since Mr. Zhang in the Crescent Hotel has already given us a plan, why don't we leave during the day? At least it's safe here."

Uncle Ming had felt uneasy since just a moment ago, because Zhang Lin had said that this mountain stream itself was strange, but he hadn't said where the strangeness lay.

If Zhang Lin hadn't mentioned the snow monster, Uncle Ming would have resigned himself to fate and wouldn't have let his bodyguard stop the group from moving forward.

But now, caught in a dilemma, Uncle Ming had no choice but to make this decision, even though he knew it would be difficult for Peter alone to stop these people.

But Uncle Ming had no other way. In any case, Peter only listened to him; even if he told him to go die, Peter wouldn't even frown.

Since he had already seen that Yang Lu was cold on the surface but soft-hearted inside, Uncle Ming simply played a risky move.

Actually, just from this point, Uncle Ming's brain had basically short-circuited. Although he felt he had analyzed Yang Lu's personality quite well, in reality, Yang Lu's soft-heartedness depended on who it was directed toward.

For a poor little girl like Ah Xiang, Yang Lu would naturally feel soft-hearted, but as for Uncle Ming, the fact that she hadn't directly slit his throat was already considered very polite.

Another point was that Yang Lu considered that Uncle Ming had indeed made corresponding contributions to the Second Archaeological Team. Regarding the matter of that scroll, at first, Yang Lu only thought it was an unintentional coincidence.

And the usefulness of the scroll was only her guess, but when Zhang Lin appeared on the scene, it was also verified accordingly.

This showed that Uncle Ming had indeed unintentionally helped the Second Archaeological Team a great deal. In that case, the Second Archaeological Team could take the map to the next location, which was more important than anything else.

Originally, they didn't have anything like a map at all. All the routes relied on Zhang Lin's guidance, and Zhang Lin had also emphasized in the Crescent Hotel that if they could find the scroll and obtain the map, the subsequent path for the Second Archaeological Team would become much simpler.

In any case, it was better than having to be guided the whole way.

The scene on the Second Archaeological Team's side was at a stalemate. Actually, Yang Lu was also considering whether to take action directly. However, now that everyone was watching the live stream, including the official side, she had to consider the audience's emotions, so Yang Lu didn't know what state their emotions were in.

And just at this moment, above the Crescent Hotel, Zhang Lin had already drawn a route map on paper, and then he shook it at the camera and showed it to all the book friends.

Immediately, Zhang Lin said slowly, "This is the route they are going to take next. Once they reach the end of the mountain stream, they can officially enter the range of the snow-capped mountains."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. The fact that Zhang Lin could draw a route map was the most strange thing, but no one paid attention to this point.

Because Zhang Lin had already done too many unbelievable things before. Regardless of whether Zhang Lin had been to this place or not, drawing a route map now was a matter of course, so they didn't ask much.

Instead, Zhang Lin's second half of the sentence surprised them greatly. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhang, have they not entered the range of Mount Kulamier yet?"

Zhang Lin smiled indifferently and said, "If measured from a geographical perspective, they have indeed entered that range now. But if measured from the perspective of the Reincarnation Sect—that is, at that time node—the so-called range of Mount Kulamier, the location where the Second Archaeological Team is currently located doesn't even count as the outer perimeter."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, finally understanding what Zhang Lin meant. That is to say, under different time nodes, the definition of this range is also different.

Back then, the Reincarnation Sect used this method to occupy the core location of Mount Kulamier, but they still didn't know why these corpses were buried there and what the ultimate goal of the Reincarnation Sect was.

Thinking of this, someone couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhang, the Reincarnation Sect brought people to the snow-capped mountains, and the City of E'luohai was also built there. What is the ultimate goal? Could it be some kind of ritual?"

Zhang Lin nodded slowly, looked at this person with an approving gaze, and said, "That's right, your train of thought is very fast. This is indeed a kind of ritual, and this ritual also confirms the so-called doctrine of the Reincarnation Sect."

"And there is one point I didn't mention, but you didn't think of. Since this place is the final location to unlock the curse, it means it has an inevitable connection with the Ancient City of Jingjue, or rather, with the Queen of Jingjue herself."

Everyone gasped upon hearing this, looking at Zhang Lin with some astonishment. In fact, they had indeed ignored this point at the beginning.

Even from this perspective, they hadn't paid attention to the matter itself at all, only assuming that every tomb Zhang Lin mentioned was established independently!
