Chapter 2833: This Is Absolute Zero! An Analysis from the Team Leader!

Hearing Yang Lu's analysis, everyone felt as though a sudden realization had dawned on them!

But based on the actual situation, what Yang Lu said really was the most likely possibility—otherwise there was no way to explain why this place was so bizarre.

Young Master Zhao scratched his head again the next moment and could not help saying, "These murals are on the outside, so the person who painted them should have been sealed inside, yet we haven't seen a single corpse."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Young Master Zhao helplessly. Shen Qiong smacked the back of his head and said, "Are you stupid? Can't you just go up from the dragon's top?"

And Young Master Zhao acted as though it were perfectly obvious.

"If they could have gone up from the dragon's top, why would they have dug this tunnel?"

At this, everyone was struck dumb. In fact, when Young Master Zhao asked this question, only Yang Lu had a faint smile on her lips—Young Master Zhao had hit the nail right on the head.

Yang Lu believed that even if Zhang Lin were watching the livestream now, he would give Young Master Zhao a thumbs-up for that question, because Young Master Zhao had actually taken the trouble to think it through.

"That's right. The last person who remained inside the tomb is dead."

Yang Lu's tone at this moment was quite certain.

"I think that person's corpse should have turned to icy crystal powder, just like Uncle Ming's subordinates earlier."

With the ice-ladle bugs mentioned again, everyone's attention quickly shifted direction. To them, whether the person who dug the tunnel was alive or dead simply didn't matter.

After all this many years, even if he hadn't died back then, he would long since have turned into some handful of dust.

So what they were even more concerned about was just why these ice-ladle bugs were so terrifying.

"Team Leader Yang, now that you mention it, I remember too. Just what is the origin of these ice-ladle bugs? They're far more bizarre than anything we've run into before, and even more dangerous." Wang Kaixuan blurted out instinctively.

And everyone else nodded along, thinking to themselves that it was indeed so—the danger of these things far exceeded that of all the random monsters they had encountered before.

The key was that those things mainly had strong defenses, and at worst their attacks were just viciously insidious—but it had never been like this.

Now these things looked tiny, yet they were even more terrifying than the corpse beetles that Archaeology Team One had encountered. Was there some connection between the two? After all, the moment anything came into contact with their bodies, that would be the result.

But Yang Lu immediately shook her head, then went on to say, "Actually, there's no need to overthink it. These things are nothing more than objects of extreme cold. And what we mean by extreme cold is that once you come into contact with them, including anything that might touch them directly, it will all be assimilated in an instant! In other words, if I use the Vajra Umbrella to attack, I can't even guarantee that this thing won't instantly cause the Vajra Umbrella to freeze solid."

"However, one thing can be confirmed: with solid objects, even if they freeze, they won't shatter directly. But the extreme cold they transmit might just pass on to the human body."

Once Yang Lu said this, basically everyone understood at once.

It was simply that these ice-ladle bugs, in a single instant, froze together everything in the human body from the inside out—the blood vessels, the blood, all of it! And this perfectly explained why Uncle Ming's subordinates who had come into contact with them earlier had instantly turned into that state. This was what was meant by absolute zero.

Everyone walked forward as they talked. At this moment Uncle Ming hurried over and, with a concerned tone, asked, "Team Leader Yang, you guys alright?"

Although Uncle Ming asked this, his gaze kept drifting backward from time to time—he had already heard the commotion coming from over there.

He could basically determine at once that the glacier crystal corpse he had been longing for was now beyond any hope.

But Uncle Ming still thought it wasn't certain—buried in the snow, if there was a chance in the future, he could come back and dig it out again.

So now Uncle Ming didn't even want to keep going forward, because he had already found what he was after—at least half of his objective was achieved.

As for the rest, there was no need for him to consider it. Now he was desperately trying to please Yang Lu, just wanting her to call it quits quickly. Even though there was the matter of breaking the curse, one still had to take the current reality into account.

If they kept being so stubborn, there might not be any benefit down the line. This was what Uncle Ming was truly worried about.

A man like this didn't disregard his own life, nor was he not greedy enough. It was simply that once he had sorted out the pros and cons, he would always choose the path most advantageous to himself.

But Uncle Ming's biggest mistake was being clever on his own behalf—he thought there was nothing wrong with being clever, yet he considered everyone else fools. This was precisely why not a single person in Archaeology Team Two could stand him now.

But Uncle Ming himself no longer cared about that now. Whether this group of people could look up to him or not, what Uncle Ming considered most important was getting out of here as quickly as possible.

Yang Lu paid him no attention, and Uncle Ming wasn't anxious either—he just followed along unhurriedly, waiting until the other's expression softened.

Only then did Uncle Ming seize the chance and hurriedly say, "Team Leader Yang, I think the most important thing now is to leave this godforsaken place as quickly as possible. We can't stay here any longer, or we might very well cost everyone their lives."

After Uncle Ming finished saying this, apart from his own subordinates, everyone in Archaeology Team Two stared at him with burning eyes, their gazes filled with resentment!

Being in this environment now, perhaps none of this had been caused by Uncle Ming, but along the way Uncle Ming had already caused Archaeology Team Two a great deal of trouble.

They hadn't expected him to still have the nerve to talk so brazenly. What he had just said sounded like a suggestion, yet his tone was so certain—as if he believed he was absolutely right.

This time Yang Lu didn't need Wang Kaixuan to step in. She kicked him straight in the abdomen, because the situation at hand was already extremely critical.

It looked as though they had just narrowly escaped death, but in reality, with the entrance already sealed off, there was no retreat left. On top of that, everything now depended on Archaeology Team Two themselves.

Yang Lu wasn't entirely confident in her own judgment, but Zhang Lin had entrusted all of this to her, so Yang Lu decided to give it a try.

So she didn't want to hear a second voice now. If Wang Kaixuan and the others offered her advice, Yang Lu might still accept it—even if she didn't accept it, giving it some thought wouldn't be a problem at all.
