Chapter 2681

He wanted to tell him that it was nothing but a fool's dream, but afterward Wang Wang Canghai came to his senses—only it was already too late. Zhang Lin used the same trick, giving him a very clear answer.

That he had no way out and could only submit to everything before him. This wasn't Zhang Lin deliberately forcing him into a choice; it was simply because before all this, he had given Wang Wang Canghai a way out, but Wang Wang Canghai himself refused to take it, so Zhang Lin had no choice.

He could only let things reach this point today. So fundamentally speaking, all of this has nothing to do with Zhang Lin, and Wang Wang Canghai actually understood this perfectly well too. But now that things had come to this pass, he had to find someone to hate, so Zhang Lin became the most suitable candidate—if there wasn't even someone left to hate.

Wang Wang Canghai even felt that his spirit had instantly lost its anchor. This is why a person's greatest opponent, or rather mortal enemy, in this life must always be someone who is both teacher and friend.

Even when the enemy is destroyed, one will instinctively let out a sigh, with a sense of being unmatched in the world. But this was only Wang Wang Canghai's personal feeling. On Zhang Lin's side, he was quite unimpressed by such thoughts.

From the very beginning, Zhang Lin had told Wang Wang Canghai more than once.

"You don't deserve to be my opponent at all!"

At first, Wang Wang Canghai still thought Zhang Lin was being far too overconfident. If Zhang Lin wasn't from the same era as himself, then Wang Wang Canghai felt this young man's tone was simply too arrogant—even a strong wind could snap his tongue.

Of course, even taking a step back, at that time Wang Wang Canghai also believed that even if Zhang Lin were from the same era as himself, and had hidden himself even better than he had, and thus spoken those words, Wang Wang Canghai still wouldn't care—because at that initial point in time, he was just that arrogant, even possessing that kind of overbearing, invincible state of mind.

He felt he was truly invincible under heaven, that there was simply no need to care about any of this. But very quickly, Zhang Lin showed him just how laughable such thinking was.

Sometimes Zhang Lin hadn't even subjectively arranged any plan; he simply relied on the choices made independently by Archaeology Team Two or Archaeology Team One, and directly disrupted all of Wang Wang Canghai's so-called brilliant subsequent plans.

Actually, from this angle, one can see why Wang Wang Canghai was despised by Zhang Lin to such a degree. It really was because he had done far too poorly. If he had been even slightly smarter, he couldn't have made such mistakes. But at the beginning, Wang Wang Canghai didn't make the wrong choices out of stupidity—it was simply because he was far too proud.

He was convinced that having lived for three hundred years, the things he had mastered must far surpass Zhang Lin's. Since that was the case, what did he have to fear?

It was precisely because of this that Wang Wang Canghai had fallen into today's situation. Right now he had already reached Kelamir Mountain. The coordinates previously recorded by Guraluo Silver Eye were perfectly clear in Wang Wang Canghai's mind, but even so, he still didn't have absolute confidence in being able to see all of this through.

The reason was very simple: it was because his past failures had given him a kind of blind-following feeling. Once he fell into such a state, then regardless of whether there was hope for what came after, or whether he could truly defeat Zhang Lin, at the very least he had already lost half the battle.

At this moment, even Wang Hu at the center had a bad feeling. He didn't want the master he had just begun following to express his emotions in this way.
