Chapter 2708: Obviously a Trick! But the Reason Can't Be Fathomed!

At the same time, he was convinced that these three hundred years of experience, including everything he had gone through, allowed him to fight against anyone without caring about their thoughts, or whether they were pleased or displeased.

Or rather, what methods they would use to target him when they were displeased—Wang Canghai had no such worries at all, because he was Wang Canghai.

So he could cast everything to the back of his mind. That was reality, but in the end, the reverse reality gave Wang Canghai a very painful lesson. The present Wang Canghai no longer dared to think about problems in this way.

But Zhang Lin took an unorthodox approach and started playing tricks with him. Wang Canghai had originally assumed that Zhang Lin had long disdained using such tricks against him, because a person standing at the commanding heights, convinced of his absolute victory, would find all such tricks to appear so pale and feeble.

If it were Wang Canghai himself, he would absolutely embrace such a mindset when thinking about the problems ahead. But the thing was, Wang Canghai was Wang Canghai, and Zhang Lin was Zhang Lin—the two were fundamentally different.

Zhang Lin did not act on a sudden whim; afterward he was also mulling over all his response plans, although he had basically already thought these matters through before.

Still, Zhang Lin had always adhered to the principle that all changes remain true to their origin—there was nothing wrong with that in itself. But if certain details could be slightly altered, his subsequent plans would go even more smoothly. This was also the main reason Zhang Lin was giving Wang Canghai a reminder.

He wanted to use the trusted confidants of Mr. Wang lurking over there to do certain things, but not now. When Zhang Lin first learned of this matter, he had originally intended to use this point directly to do certain things.

But later, as circumstances changed and Zhang Lin's thinking gradually opened up, he felt there was no rush to do this now, because Wang Canghai still had choices. If things were pushed to an extreme now, Wang Canghai, facing such overwhelming pressure coming at him head-on, would definitely go mad.

Once such a person went mad, his destructive power absolutely could not be underestimated. If Zhang Lin were with the Archaeology Team Two right now, no matter what response Wang Canghai made afterward, it would have nothing to do with Zhang Lin. In any case, meet force with force and water with earth—leading Archaeology Team Two, he could carry on smoothly all the way.

But then again, if he were leading Archaeology Team Two, everything would not be this troublesome. He would not even need to use the livestream as a medium to transmit these things. Zhang Lin could directly let them obtain that answer, skip the process entirely, and just break the curse directly.

The difference between Archaeology Team One and Archaeology Team Two has been mentioned countless times before. Ever since Archaeology Team Two came out of the Jingjue Ancient City, the nature of their purpose also changed fundamentally.

In other words, what they were now pursuing was no longer the exploration of tomb culture and those antique-like things. Of course, those had become by-products—nice to have, but not worth fighting over if they weren't there.

Because for Archaeology Team Two, those things no longer held much meaning. What they truly needed to care about was still the curse on their own bodies. Or to put it another way, from the moment they bore the curse upon themselves, all concepts had fundamentally changed. The choices they faced were exactly this.

Looking at Archaeology Team One by contrast, they came with corresponding missions: to uncover Wang Canghai's secret, or the truth of whether he was alive or dead, or what exactly was hidden behind the Qingtong Sect.

These were all Archaeology Team One's missions. This was also why Fatty, upon learning that Zhang Lin had that kind of passive mindset, developed doubts—because he was convinced that Archaeology Team One's mission was more important.

But later, with Wu Tianzhen's patient guidance, Fatty also came to understand. After all, what Zhang Lin cared about was Yang Lu's personal safety; from an individual standpoint, those secrets simply didn't amount to much.

Or perhaps Zhang Lin had long understood all this, which was why he cared even less. On this premise, there was simply nothing that could truly pique Zhang Lin's interest.

But Yang Lu of Archaeology Team Two turned this matter into another contrast—that is to say, everything Zhang Lin did afterward was entirely for Yang Lu's sake; it could not possibly have been for anyone else.

With this premise, no matter how resentful Fatty was or how much he wanted to complain about it, he could find no reason at all. After all, Yang Lu had to come first; everyone else had to yield the way to this leader of the Mountain Movers. This was certain.

Looking at the present situation, Wang Canghai's blind obedience had caused an odd atmosphere within the team. At this moment, Wang Hu fixed a burning gaze on Wang Canghai. He swore that since he had begun following Wang Canghai—although it had only been some twenty-plus hours—Wang Canghai's face had always worn that confidence from start to finish.

Absolute confidence in the truest sense, without any deviation. So why had Wang Canghai's expression suddenly undergone such a change at this moment? This made Wang Hu's heart skip a beat, and he felt that this matter probably would not go as smoothly as he had imagined.

If it were Mr. Wang beside him at this moment, and his expression showed such a change, Wang Hu would more or less understand—because no matter how capable Mr. Wang was, frankly speaking, his position and abilities were still within the bounds of reason.

But looking at Wang Canghai by contrast, he had obtained immortality and lived all these years, already leaping beyond all such boundaries!

However, Wang Hu's thinking was a bit too childish. If Wang Canghai truly could leap beyond such things, he would not need to pursue immortality single-mindedly. Of course, his ultimate goal was to break free, but in the end, this goal had not been achieved.

Wang Canghai had only been searching all along, bitterly unable to obtain. This was another reason Wang Canghai's mindset had been collapsing all along, and there was also Zhang Lin throwing a wrench in the works from within.

Wang Canghai had even at one point wanted to give up and fight to the death, and he had mentioned such words to Zhang Lin more than once.

But the more he said this, the less afraid Zhang Lin was—because a person who truly wanted to fight to the death would not give advance warning; that would all come completely out of nowhere.

In response to such changes, Zhang Lin could just make his response at the time. Besides, even if Wang Canghai truly chose to fight to the death, Zhang Lin was not worried.

Because he had long missed that optimal time point. Now, even if the opportunity were placed before Wang Canghai, he was ultimately no longer the person he once was.

All of this was the punishment he deserved. Zhang Lin had emphasized this point to Wang Canghai many times, but Wang Canghai himself still seemed not to fully understand this reasoning.
