Chapter 2259

From this line of thinking, one could see that even now, Uncle Ming still hadn't lost that greed for the Glacier Crystal Corpse.

He hadn't thought at all that they were already in a desperate situation, even if the members of the Second Archaeological Team all agreed to hand over this Glacier Crystal Corpse of the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother.

Could Uncle Ming really leave?

Unfortunately, Uncle Ming didn't want to think about the situation anymore; all of this might be realized only in hindsight.

Yang Lu had everything ready and nodded at the group, and Shen Qiong followed closely behind. At this time, Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi had already opened the entrance that had been sealed earlier.

It was just one insect; even if the entrance was opened now, it wouldn't let it fly up directly.

Moreover, Yang Lu and Shen Qiong were already prepared to go down, so there was no need to think so much.

Shen Qiong jumped down first. Before going down, Yang Lu specifically instructed, "All of you listen to me: no matter what happens, you are not allowed to act on your own. Everything waits for my command, understand?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously. Yang Lu finally let her gaze fall on Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

In fact, the main target of her words was these two people.

As the saying goes, "concern leads to chaos." What Yang Lu feared most was that they would act on their own because of certain things; that would instead affect her subsequent plans.

Although Yang Lu was also confused about many things, she firmly believed that relying on her own judgment was definitely much better than the results obtained from the reckless sacrifices of these two.

The two looked at each other and finally nodded reluctantly.

What else could they say?

Since the team leader had already spoken to this extent, they had no choice but to follow orders; there was nothing else.

Yang Lu was quite satisfied with the two's reaction and jumped down directly.

On Wang Canghai's side, he had been waiting for Xue Long's reaction. He believed that in such a crisis, no matter how calm Zhang Lin was,

at the very least, he would give the Second Archaeological Team some guidance. But what he never expected was that Zhang Lin acted as if nothing had happened.

He didn't send a text message to Xue Long at all to tell the Second Archaeological Team what to do next through such a method.

Wang Canghai was so anxious that he stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Although he had completely broken with Zhang Lin, at this moment, in Wang Canghai's cognition, no matter how he thought about it, Zhang Lin shouldn't just give up like this.

After all, even Zhang Lin himself admitted that he had some special feelings for the Second Archaeological Team or for Yang Lu personally, even if he didn't know what this specialness meant.

But based on this judgment, Wang Canghai could conclude that Zhang Lin wouldn't really just let the Second Archaeological Team fend for themselves. If it were the First Archaeological Team, Wang Canghai believed Zhang Lin could make such a decision; after all, Zhang Lin had indeed done so regarding the First Archaeological Team all along.

Even when Celestial Master Zhang went missing, Zhang Lin didn't say much; he trusted the First Archaeological Team's judgment. But why had it become like this for the Second Archaeological Team now?

Wang Canghai pondered repeatedly for a long time, knowing that besides asking Zhang Lin, no one else could give him a good explanation.

But then again, he had just hung up on Zhang Lin half a minute ago; wouldn't calling back now be a slap in his own face?

Unexpectedly, just as Wang Canghai was pondering, the Wang family's landline actually rang. Wang Canghai thought to himself, could it be Zhang Lin, who realized the previous matter was unjustifiable and called him back?

Because the landline had no caller ID, Wang Canghai couldn't help but start thinking wildly, but soon even Wang Canghai himself gave a bitter smile, thinking his previous thought was absolutely delusional.

How could that be?

From their previous exchanges, Wang Canghai could basically conclude that Zhang Lin would definitely not take the initiative to call him again now.

Unless he could force Zhang Lin into a passive position through subsequent means, the other party wouldn't change their original idea and take the initiative to contact him again.

Having figured this out, Wang Canghai shook his head. He picked up the phone, and it was Wang Cen's voice that came from the other end.

He only heard Wang Cen ask: "How is the news about the Second Archaeological Team? Is there any movement from Su Nan?"

Wang Cen's tone was neither good nor bad. Even though he had chosen to submit to Wang Canghai for the subsequent actions, he didn't speak submissively like a servant. Wang Canghai didn't care about these things.

He said bluntly: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't interfere with; I have my own arrangements." The answer Wang Canghai gave was very cold.

Wang Cen raised his eyebrows but didn't persist on this topic, instead saying: "How about this, I am very interested in knowing who you are now. You can't always be that mysterious person in my cognition."

Wang Canghai chuckled. This time, he didn't continue to spar with the other party in words, but said directly: "I am Wang Canghai."

He used a completely declarative tone without any teasing, which couldn't help but make Wang Cen stunned.

If the other party deliberately wanted to disgust him, there was no need to speak in such a way.
