Chapter 2836: The Promise Must Be Fulfilled! Otherwise, Life Will Be Worse Than Death!

Although he was trying desperately to prove himself in his heart, the space reality left him kept growing narrower and narrower.

On the other side, Wang Wang Canghai, who was watching the livestream, couldn't help but get serious when he heard the four words "Black Tiger Mysterious Altar."

Perhaps this altar itself didn't involve all that much, but right now it was a starting point for Archaeology Team Two. Although Wang Wang Canghai had yet to analyze the overall feng shui layout of this tomb, nor the relationship between the mountain ranges and dragon veins of Mount Kramir.

Yet he had an inexplicable premonition that the moment everyone arrived at the Black Tiger Mysterious Altar, it would mark the true opening of the first step!

This was the same principle as when they entered that great gate in the Southern Border Worm Valley. Inside a tomb—especially one like this—the first step was especially hard to take.

As long as they found the right direction and then followed Zhang Lin's instructions, everything would be solved. But right now Zhang Lin was not yet at the New Moon Restaurant.

Wang Wang Canghai gradually realized that Zhang Lin was using this method to deal with him as well. He believed Zhang Lin had already discovered that he would analyze through his words, and then simply let his own people keep moving forward. Perhaps if it weren't for the matter with Su Nan being noticed by Zhang Lin.

He still wouldn't have continued making this kind of choice. After all, now there were no longer any Wang family members interfering with Archaeology Team Two. Even if Zhang Lin arrived at the New Moon Restaurant ahead of time and told everything.

As long as Wang Wang Canghai hadn't found another entrance to let Su Nan in, he wouldn't bring any trouble to Archaeology Team Two.

But now Zhang Lin still hadn't made such a choice. In fact, if Wang Wang Canghai saw the message Zhang Lin had sent to Xue Long, he would definitely be stunned at first glance.

Because Zhang Lin had stated all the answers far too vaguely—this was completely different from his New Moon Restaurant!

The reason Wang Wang Canghai was shocked was also because he felt Zhang Lin had absolutely no need to act this way. Since they were already discussing the matter in secret, why simplify the words to such a degree?

Wouldn't that make everything feel ambiguous?

Besides, some things were already laid out before them, having become established facts, and no longer needed to be kept hidden. Unfortunately, Wang Wang Canghai simply couldn't focus on the key point right now.

Perhaps in his mind he still thought Zhang Lin was clinging to that old mentality and would continue walking that path, not knowing that Zhang Lin had long since changed his approach.

Only there was no need to inform Wang Wang Canghai of these things in advance. In fact, much of it wasn't deliberately aimed at Wang Wang Canghai—Zhang Lin simply wanted to temper Archaeology Team Two.

It wasn't over yet. If the situation over at Tiangong really blew up, then perhaps after Archaeology Team Two broke the curse, their first task wouldn't be heading to the next tomb officially assigned to them, or following certain clues to uncover some secrets.

But rather concentrating all their attention on Tiangong. When that time came, Archaeology Team Two using this method to coordinate with Archaeology Team One would be what mattered most.

Right now, although Archaeology Team One had the trio, and after they came out from Wang Wang Canghai's undersea laboratory their coordination had been quite seamless.

Zhang Lin was very clear, though, that all of this was temporary. When the moment of true crisis arrived, who knew what trouble it might bring to Archaeology Team One.

At that time, relying solely on their own strength would definitely not be enough—even with Zhang Tianshi among them, it would be the same.

After all, Wang Cen and the others were still following the other side. Besides, where exactly was the Wan Nu King hiding?

What exactly would leap out from behind the Qingtong Sect gate, Zhang Lin still wasn't certain. In the past, Zhang Lin could have told everyone that behind the Qingtong Sect gate was the so-called Ultimate, and this Ultimate itself was also a vague concept.

The so-called dead being the living—this concept had stretched on for over a thousand years. Guarding the secret of the Qingtong Sect inscription, in Zhang Lin's hands, was also destined not to become some kind of suspense-teasing tactic. He would certainly tell everyone outright exactly what was going on here.

This was also what Wang Wang Canghai worried about most. He had even, at one point, thought Zhang Lin might have gone mad—if it were simply to deal with him, there was absolutely no need to put things so bluntly.

Unfortunately, thinking about this now was meaningless. Wang Wang Canghai kept mulling over in his heart what to do next, but after a few minutes he shook his head, knowing he simply couldn't arrange any action. First, Zhang Lin's intentions toward Archaeology Team One were already extremely clear.

Seeing Wu Ya's movements, he could basically analyze clearly what would happen next.

What exactly his people would go through, Wang Wang Canghai might not be able to guess, but in essence, he believed Zhang Lin had at least on the surface shifted his focus to Archaeology Team One.

He might even be thinking that if Archaeology Team Two used him, during this period when he wasn't at the New Moon Restaurant, they could solve all problems on their own. That would also count as successfully helping Zhang Lin divert all attention.

Now Wang Wang Canghai could only let his thoughts run wild like this, quietly waiting for any changes in the archaeology teams. He didn't know when Wang Wang Canghai finally realized.

As long as Zhang Lin wasn't at the New Moon Restaurant, even if some obvious changes appeared within the archaeology teams, and Wang Wang Canghai noticed some clues, he still wouldn't dare issue corresponding orders. This was the kind of deterrence Zhang Lin brought.

Conversely, as long as Zhang Lin set foot in the New Moon Restaurant, Wang Wang Canghai would actually feel more at ease. At least at that time, even if Zhang Lin saw certain things.

Even if he beat around the bush and said some veiled words, Wang Wang Canghai could still use his own experience to analyze the situation and make corresponding arrangements.

None of this was possible now. What Wang Wang Canghai looked forward to most was Zhang Lin quickly arriving at the New Moon Restaurant, so that he could have some initiative in choosing.

After all, if he called Zhang Lin now, the other party might not even pick up. Even if he did, Wang Wang Canghai wouldn't dare say too much—this wasn't the first time he had taken the initiative to call the other party.

And yet it had instead let Zhang Lin see through his hand. Being tricked again and again made him forcefully tell himself he absolutely would not allow this situation to continue.

That would make him look foolish. Besides, letting it go on like this brought no benefit to his plan either. Now, even having reached this point, Wang Wang Canghai still had no intention of giving up.

This was also the point where Zhang Lin was most disappointed in Wang Wang Canghai.

If at that time, when Zhang Lin first issued the warning, Wang Wang Canghai had been willing to give up and continue living under a hidden name, instead of doing all this messy stuff, and had never threatened Archaeology Team Two and Archaeology Team One.

Then Zhang Lin really wouldn't have bothered to settle scores with him anymore.

But in many situations, Wang Wang Canghai was also forced into it, because he had to guard that century-old secret well. His promise to the Wan Nu King had to be fulfilled—otherwise, life would be worse than death.
