Chapter 2225

In that case, he would become even more passive, and it was clear that this was not the result Uncle Ming wanted to see.

The reason Uncle Ming was so calm at this moment was that he was calculating what choice to make next. For him, since he had seen the thing he was looking for, the next thing to do was to move forward without hesitation.

Just like the corpse of the Sect Leader of the Reincarnation Sect before, for him, wealth was the standard by which everything was measured; everything else was nonsense.

But at this moment, Uncle Ming did not realize that by deliberately maintaining his composure, he appeared very strange instead. At this time, Wang Pangzi could not help but look at Uncle Ming.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. In his view, Uncle Ming had always been jumpy and always said things that no one liked to hear at inappropriate times.

The key was that Uncle Ming's point of entry was entirely self-centered. Of course, if they were not in the same team to begin with.

No matter what way Uncle Ming said what he said, it actually didn't matter. At worst, the Second Archaeological Team would just ditch them, but Uncle Ming still shamelessly followed the Second Archaeological Team.

Then he couldn't speak in such a way. This was another point why Wang Pangzi disliked Uncle Ming. This had not only to do with A Xiang, but also because Uncle Ming was truly a failure as a person.

Wang Pangzi noticed Uncle Ming's change and walked over quietly. He patted Uncle Ming on the shoulder from the side.

Unexpectedly, during the time Wang Pangzi walked over, Uncle Ming had no reaction at all and was still thinking about his own affairs. When his shoulder was patted, he was immediately startled!

When he hurriedly turned his head, wanting to burst into a torrent of abuse, he didn't expect to see Wang Pangzi looking at him with a smile.

Uncle Ming subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then he heard Wang Pangzi ask: "Uncle Ming, you seem to have a guilty conscience?"

Uncle Ming snorted coldly.

"If you really have nothing to say, then hurry up and do your own business. Does it have anything to do with you whether I have a guilty conscience or not?"

Uncle Ming's reaction was not too slow. At this time, if he tried to dodge the question, it would only arouse Wang Pangzi's suspicion. Uncle Ming had already realized what was underneath before.

Although this was only a possibility, based on the experience he had accumulated over the years, Uncle Ming basically concluded that his judgment would not be far off.

Under this premise, Uncle Ming absolutely had to remain calm and composed until he saw what was underneath before taking corresponding action. However, Uncle Ming was still very worried now.

What if it really was the thing he wanted underneath? What should he do?

That's right, now Uncle Ming was not afraid of his judgment being wrong—that is to say, coming back empty-handed this time, or at the final stage.

When the Second Archaeological Team couldn't pay attention to him at all, discovering that kind of thing, as long as it could bring him wealth, Uncle Ming could be completely unscrupulous.

But at this time node, with the Second Archaeological Team poised and ready, Uncle Ming had no chance at all to succeed. This was what Uncle Ming was most conflicted about.

When some wealth did not appear before one's eyes, missing it was just missing it. But if one clearly watched that wealth before one's eyes and then let it slip through one's fingers.

Uncle Ming might not be able to close his eyes even in death. This was the same principle as the corpse of the Reincarnation Sect Leader before; even if it cost Sister Hong her life in the end, Uncle Ming would not hesitate.

From the beginning, Yang Lu's judgment was correct: this person was absolutely profit-seeking, and there was nothing in his eyes except money.

This was also the main reason why everyone in the Second Archaeological Team disliked Uncle Ming, but the group had walked this far.

Through Sister Hong's death, Uncle Ming still hadn't realized it, which made everyone basically conclude that this Uncle Ming was beyond saving.

However, Yang Lu did not have time to deal with Uncle Ming now. For her, the most important thing was to see what was underneath.

Since that crystal door had already been smashed, the Wolf King's corpse was also below.

Looking down at the next layer now, there didn't seem to be anything strange, but Yang Lu did not hold a very certain attitude about this.

In her view, everything was possible. Who knows what the situation below would be? If they missed the corresponding opportunity because of some misjudgment of her own, who knows if this trip would be in vain.

If it were just an ordinary mission, coming for nothing wouldn't be a big deal. At most, Yang Lu, as the leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect and the team leader, would be criticized by many people watching the live stream.

But Yang Lu understood what it meant to "stand and talk without back pain." The danger was experienced by them; these people had no right to point fingers at the actions of the Second Archaeological Team.

Some people watching the live stream naturally had this realization. They understood that they didn't have the corresponding right, and even if they said something, it was just cold sarcasm that the Second Archaeological Team wouldn't care about. But some people's thoughts were just that dirty.

They didn't care about hurtful words at all, nor did they understand the simplest truth. If it were before, these people might have been arranged by the Wang family, but now they were just a bunch of people who didn't know the depth of things and didn't know what kind of position they should be in.

These people were also the ones Zhang Lin disliked.

Looking at Wang Canghai, who was watching the live stream, his gaze was locked on the corner of the screen. At this time, the camera hadn't turned over yet, and Wang Canghai was desperately trying to know what exactly was underneath.

The progress of the Second Archaeological Team was faster than he had imagined. Wang Canghai didn't know whether he should let Ga Wa take action at this time.

If he waited for Su Nan's situation, and waited until the Second Archaeological Team had truly entered the tomb, once the gap was sealed, then no matter what thoughts Wang Canghai held, in the end, it would all be in vain.

This was exactly what Wang Canghai was worried about now.

At first, according to Wang Canghai's judgment, he was certain that the Second Archaeological Team would absolutely not take the lead. That is to say, at this time node, even if the Second Archaeological Team had such thoughts, they would not put them into practice.

After all, the choices made by the Second Archaeological Team led by Yang Lu before were also like this. As long as Zhang Lin was not at the Crescent Hotel, the Second Archaeological Team would absolutely not act rashly.

If it were just some simple tombs, Yang Lu naturally wouldn't make such a choice, but the current tomb was not simple.

Whether it was the Jingjue Ancient City before or the Kunlun Divine Palace now, it was the same. Moreover, the Second Archaeological Team had reached the current situation.

They hadn't even found a shadow of the Kunlun Divine Palace; they had only come to a place called Dragon Peak. And what exactly did this Dragon Peak express?
