Chapter 2838

Anyway, since the other party had already delivered themselves to the door, he would certainly strike harder than anyone.

As for Yang Lu's current intention, Zhang Lin could see it on his side too. Although she hadn't stated it to him very directly, based on what he knew of the situation, Yang Lu didn't dare to act rashly now.

If it were just her alone, that would be fine, but now it involved so many people. If any real danger occurred because of a decision made by Yang Lu, she would feel immensely self-reproachful.

It might even affect her future choices when facing crises.

Based on this point, Yang Lu had basically already made up her mind. She might as well let everyone rest up here; anyway, it wouldn't take much time before Zhang Lin made his entrance.

But at this moment, Zhang Lin shook his head. He knew he couldn't wait any longer and had to warn the Archaeology Team Two, because this position wasn't safe enough yet.

Just as Zhang Lin was about to give the warning, a look of terror suddenly flashed through Ah Xiang's eyes—she had been standing in the corner the whole time.

This caused everyone's mindset to change along with it. Wang Kaixuan had been keeping an eye on Ah Xiang from start to finish.

On one hand, because of what the other party had previously gone through, Wang Kaixuan felt quite sympathetic.

Of course, the other members of Archaeology Team Two actually felt the same way. On the other hand, it was because Wang Kaixuan had absolute faith in Ah Xiang's ability.

But until now, no one in Archaeology Team Two had ever taken the initiative to suggest letting her use her ability to predict something first. Even if she really did have such an ability, it would probably manifest unconsciously in passive situations rather than being actively invoked.

Besides, previously Ah Xiang had been nothing but a pure tool by Uncle Ming's side. Having experienced this kind of thing for so long, she would inevitably have some shadows in her heart.

Now that Archaeology Team Two had saved her, at least in the short term they couldn't count on Ah Xiang's ability to bring them any kind of help. To do so would truly be too cruel.

Although the members of Archaeology Team Two hadn't discussed this matter together, they had formed such a tacit understanding in their subconscious.

With this tacit understanding in place, things could proceed accordingly. Unexpectedly, at this very moment, Ah Xiang had instead become nervous.

Being able to show such an expression, the others didn't need to ask—Ah Xiang must have discovered some kind of danger. Under this premise, everyone also raised their alertness to the fullest.

Actually, before this, Yang Lu had originally planned to rest up here and couldn't continue to be overconfident and press forward.

Because there were simply too many forks in the road ahead. If they kept walking, it would definitely do them no good later on.

The key was that when they had continued forward before, at the very least Yang Lu could still rely on the Guralo Silver Eye in her hand—that is, the map depicted on that scroll—to make deductions and then give herself a possible answer.

But now, basically this matter had changed from a practical standpoint. After all, they were inside a tomb, which was a completely different situation from being outside.

Having figured this out, Yang Lu would be far more cautious than anyone else.

At this moment, Wang Kaixuan sidled up to Ah Xiang. Uncle Ming was the one who reacted the most. He hurriedly retreated far away from the spot Ah Xiang was looking at. If anyone here understood Ah Xiang's ability the best, it was undoubtedly Uncle Ming.

Once Ah Xiang showed such a change, it meant the tomb definitely contained hidden danger. Actually, Uncle Ming had wanted to flee quickly right from the start precisely because of this. He didn't want to keep taking risks back and forth in a tomb with no value.

Archaeology Team Two needed to break the curse, but he didn't have such a mission. Of course, if Uncle Ming also had a curse on him, then he would completely become a different person right now.

This also reflected his absolute selfishness. Such selfishness and self-interest not being well-received within Archaeology Team Two was completely normal.

Seeing Uncle Ming retreat, Peter gathered his few people and likewise clustered together with him. At this moment, Uncle Ming didn't speak up to warn them. It might be precisely because of that kick from Yang Lu earlier that he realized, at this very moment, even if he said half a word more, it could very likely bring about a fatal disaster.

Uncle Ming didn't want to die at the hands of other members of Archaeology Team Two before even dying in the tomb. If he continued to provoke anyone on Archaeology Team Two next, it might no longer be Yang Lu stepping in.

Uncle Ming believed that as long as Yang Lu's mindset truly adjusted to that extent, and then she gave Wang Kaixuan a look, the other party would be more than happy to finish him off quickly.

Because the previous series of events had already pushed things to that point. He was confident Yang Lu would make such a choice, and without any scruple.

Having figured all this out, Uncle Ming could only behave and stay at the back.

At this moment, Yang Lu also walked toward Ah Xiang. In her view, all of this seemed rather inexplicable. If she hadn't known Ah Xiang had such an ability,

Yang Lu absolutely wouldn't have paid attention to this matter. From her perspective, as long as they waited here for Zhang Lin to arrive at the Xin Yue Restaurant, that would be enough.

But now the other party's reaction was completely not like that. Just as Yang Lu had taken a few steps, Ah Xiang suddenly let out a scream.

Immediately after, Ah Xiang was seen leaping into the air, and behind Ah Xiang, at some unknown point, there appeared an extra long strip like a tongue.

It didn't wrap Ah Xiang's body, merely touching her back, and directly lifted her up.

Wang Kaixuan reacted with incredible speed and grabbed Ah Xiang's ankle, but because the force was too great and he wasn't prepared, he lost his grip in an instant!

Wang Kaixuan cursed. Everyone looked up and saw a huge round monster, its entire body viscous like a jellyfish, wedged in the crevice, opening a bloody maw and eyeing them menacingly.

Its mouth was full of those disgusting red things like tongues.

Being inside the tomb, there was no fear of collapse or avalanche at all. As long as no bombs were used, there was no problem.

So at this moment, Wang Kaixuan didn't hesitate and raised his gun barrel, firing a full burst directly.

Anyway, Ah Xiang was still more than ten meters away from this monster. With his marksmanship, there was no way he would hit her by accident.

But unexpectedly, the bullets were as if swallowed up, not causing any substantial damage to the monster at all, and even making the monster angrier!

He had originally assumed the monster itself was embedded there, using the dim light to hide from the start, and wouldn't move at all.
