Chapter 2630: Is This a Kunlun Embryo? It Shouldn't Appear Here!

Even if she wanted to replace Wu Tianzhen, she didn't delude herself into thinking she had that ability—after all, what she had mastered before was only so much, and the knowledge Zhang Lin could impart to her had already reached its limit in such a short time.

Of course, Wu Ya's combat skills were an exception, but as team leader, one needed not only combat ability but also decisiveness and the ability to make the most correct judgment at critical moments.

If she couldn't make such judgments, it would likely drag everyone down with her. Wu Ya had to admit that at critical moments she lacked the courage Wu Tianzhen had.

Even though Wu Tianzhen had been agonizing over it before, during the two times Fatty pressed the detonator, Wu Tianzhen only showed a slight change the first time; after that, there was no other thought in his mind—this was the essential quality of a qualified team leader.

Wu Ya knew she definitely didn't have this quality. After all, Wu Tianzhen had experienced far more than she had, especially the dangers within tombs. Without corresponding experience, becoming team leader would only harm everyone.

But even taking it a step further—suppose she really did have that ability—Wu Ya still didn't want to become team leader. This time she had come as Zhang Lin's assistant, and in her own understanding, no one was more suited to be the leader of Archaeology Team One than Wu Tianzhen.

First, the others wouldn't submit to her. Moreover, the three-person group of Archaeology Team One had already formed a corresponding tacit understanding. Compared to ability and combat power, tacit understanding was certainly the most important thing—Wu Ya could naturally see this clearly.

But at this moment Wu Tianzhen was looking at her with that kind of gaze. Wu Ya shook her head, knowing Wu Tianzhen must have noticed something. Yet in the eyes of the others, Wu Tianzhen's look seemed somewhat ambiguous, which made Wu Tianzhen quickly realize the problem, so she immediately said, "Wu Ya, did you notice something?"

Wu Tianzhen rarely spoke to Wu Ya so openly, nor would he ask such a direct question, because he knew Wu Ya had also been avoiding many issues and didn't want to discuss things too plainly. Under this premise, he naturally respected Wu Ya's thoughts.

But they had already reached this point, so Wu Tianzhen could no longer worry about that. He had to quickly ask what the other knew, so he could arrange what came next, rather than continuing to be completely in the dark like this. Since Archaeology Team One had to make a subjective choice, they couldn't afford any more stops from here on.

Even if they had idle time, they should at least figure out what was down there first, then set up camp above for rest. After all, it was now the wee hours of the morning, and they needed a period of rest before going back down to finish the rest of the work.

If they couldn't even adjust their own condition, they certainly wouldn't be able to do things perfectly afterward. One had to know that in a tomb like this, they were walking on thin ice.

So every step had to be taken seriously. If they kept treating it like a joke, that would be irresponsible not only toward their own lives but also toward the lives of others.

At this moment, everyone saw Wu Ya. Though their reactions weren't as quick as those of the three-person group of Archaeology Team One, they immediately realized something. As Zhang Lin's assistant, Wu Ya must know roughly what was inside Tiangong, or Zhang Lin must have briefed her on it beforehand.

Just as Wu Ya was about to speak, Fatty said in a loud, careless manner, "Wu Ya, stop holding back. Did Mr. Zhang tell you something before?"

Although Fatty used an interrogative tone, anyone with half a brain could tell.

His words carried an air of certainty, which made Wu Ya even more helpless. Even Wu Tianzhen glared hard at Fatty, thinking, Fatty hasn't been quiet for more than a moment and now he's pulling this stunt again?

This was a situation Wu Tianzhen didn't want to see, because Wu Ya occupied a very delicate position within Archaeology Team One. Even though everyone was certain that Mr. Zhang had privately made corresponding arrangements for Wu Ya, they wouldn't expose such a thing to her face.
