Chapter 2727: Switching the Gun! What a Speed of Changing Face!

From the very start, Fatty Wu Tianzhen had a different approach in mind, but in the end they reached a tacit understanding all the same.

Only every step had to rely on that tacit understanding, and as a result the current situation had tipped off balance; all the problems were laid bare before both sides in an instant. Some things aren't easy to choose, and now Fatty was in a bind — and wasn't Wu Tianzhen in the same boat?

At that moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance, drawing everyone's attention away; they all looked toward that direction, eyes full of vigilance.

Even Zhang Tianshi quickly ran a few steps that way. One had to remember that the place surrounded by the Three Sacred Mountains was flat terrain, with only a thin layer of snow able to conceal what lay ahead.

Yet this group that had come this time had managed to use brief cover to hide their tracks, which proved they were absolutely no simple matter.

That was why everyone was so tense right now — they didn't want any more surprises at this juncture when people had gone down to scout the path.

No matter how Archaeology Team One argued among themselves, the moment they faced an outside situation like this, everyone united at once. Fatty too set aside what had happened earlier, along with what Wu Ya had told him about what Zhang Lin had said, so the very first instant he pointed his suspicion straight at Wang Cen, watching him with full alertness.

The next moment Fatty said at once: "Was this your doing?"

Wang Cen spread his hands, his face blank with confusion. He thought to himself: when had he ever done anything? The people showing up now were clearly the other group of Wang family members Zhang Lin had mentioned earlier — that was the key point. No one else would come to a godforsaken place like this, though there was also a chance it was some foolhardy tomb raider.

But any tomb raider who could reach a place like this must have been following the livestream. Even watching the broadcast, they couldn't possibly be that bold — exposing their movements right now was no different from seeking death.

They weren't Wang family members with the kind of ability to fight Archaeology Team One. Given that, they would absolutely have meekly trailed behind, not deliberately revealed their footsteps like this.

Besides, hiding one's form on open plains was already extremely difficult. The other side's intent was crystal clear: deliberately exposing their footsteps was to tell Archaeology Team One they had arrived, and concealing their tracks was to show Archaeology Team One what they were capable of.

So this group was ninety-nine percent the batch Zhang Lin had mentioned. If so, they shouldn't be targeting him like this — that was what Wang Cen was mulling over. Still, vigilance was warranted; who knew what intentions this group carried.

Besides, when Zhang Lin arranged this matter, he hadn't said with certainty that they could be trusted a hundred percent. The main reason Wang Cen thought this way was, at root, because he himself was a Wang family member.

He knew exactly what most Wang family members were made of — put plainly, these people were the sort who treated whoever fed them as their parent, caring nothing for anyone's feelings, never mind anyone else's thoughts.

They only ever used their own thinking to consider what came next, and were ultimately selfish. As for Wang family members who carried faith, they either went to one extreme — fanatically obsessed, even reckless —

or else used that so-called faith to do whatever they pleased. Either way, Wang Cen didn't much care for them; this lot was beyond saving — that was Wang Cen's true feeling.

Perhaps that was also why, later on, he had driven Su Nan away. Within the Wang family, there were precious few people who could truly be his friends, let alone someone with a relationship like Su Nan's. He didn't want anything to happen to Su Nan, which was why he had that idea afterward.

At first Su Nan had been convinced Wang Cen had truly gone mad — because of devotion to his faith, Wang Cen had become ruthless, considering no other circumstances at all. Whatever he wanted to do, he did; whoever he wanted to kill, he killed. That was the Wang Cen Su Nan understood.

But she hadn't expected Wang Cen to ultimately leave the chance to her, which deeply moved Su Nan. At the same moment she recovered her old feelings in an instant, and from then on Su Nan stopped doubting him altogether.

After all, Wang Cen had saved her in the most practical way possible. Now Su Nan of Archaeology Team Two kept silent, following Yang Lu and the others the whole way, but her heart was a tangle of feelings, churning like a river in flood.
