Chapter 2847

So he hurriedly said, "Boss, you can't keep dwelling on it. If things keep going like this, we might really die here."

Uncle Ming let out a long sigh. Even though he had made this subjective decision, he wasn't in any particular rush at the moment, for one simple reason—rushing wouldn't solve anything. He understood better than anyone what consequences these matters would bring him later.

So Uncle Ming tentatively said, "Peter, do you think we could find another chance to escape? We absolutely can't keep dragging this out with them. If we do, we might just—"

He hadn't expected the other man to still be clinging to such thoughts. Peter didn't even let Uncle Ming finish—he hoisted Uncle Ming up and charged straight into the cave.

If they kept arguing about this now, by the time Archaeology Team Two actually made some discovery, it would truly be too late for them to rush over.

Just as Peter made this decision, that bright red tongue sprang out from somewhere again and grabbed Peter's ankle directly.

He instinctively swung his blade to slash at the tongue. Fortunately, he had stayed alert, and because of Peter's movement, Uncle Ming also crashed to the ground.

At this moment, Uncle Ming saw the monster above reappear and couldn't help but swallow hard. If Yang Lu Si had gone to find that monster to draw all the danger away from them, then what was this thing in front of him now?

Although the jellyfish-like monster that had appeared now was much smaller than before, and the danger it could bring was relatively smaller as well.

But Uncle Ming also knew at once what choice he should make. Regardless of whether this thing was a clone of the monster, for Uncle Ming, he had to catch up with Archaeology Team Two immediately.

He couldn't help blaming himself in his heart—why had he made such a rash, wrong decision in the heat of the moment? Being one step slow meant everything was slow. Once Uncle Ming figured this out, he didn't need Peter to urge him on; he hurriedly ran toward the cave.

Peter also breathed a sigh of relief. He himself wasn't in a hurry to chase after them, but stayed behind to cover the rear. The monster in front of him couldn't possibly compare to the one from before, so he was confident he could drive it back directly.

Although he still hadn't found the monster's weakness, it was absolutely impossible for it to take him down easily—that much confidence Peter still had.

And based on this confidence, a cold smile curled at the corner of Peter's mouth. But just as he was about to charge forward and attack, the monster suddenly sank back into the cavern above, and Peter was stunned.

If it had been any other time, given everything that had happened before, Peter's choice at this moment would have been to charge forward without hesitation, even if it meant dying together with the monster.

But he had already noticed that this monster itself was connected to the main body from before, so destroying these things would be completely meaningless.

Even if doing so would do Yang Lu Si a small favor, that kind of help was far too trivial. It wasn't that Peter was unwilling to sacrifice himself; he just couldn't be that selfish right now.

Peter was very clear that everything he had come here for was for Uncle Ming alone. Only Uncle Ming's orders would he carry out without hesitation; anyone else's orders meant nothing to him.

No matter how Uncle Ming acted outwardly, even if he seemed so treacherous and despicable toward him as well, Peter's conviction was crystal clear—his life belonged to Uncle Ming.

No matter what the other man did, all he had to do was support him unconditionally.

Seeing the monster retreat, driven by these reasons, Peter didn't choose to charge forward. Instead, he dodged its sharpest attack and ran into the cavern as well, following in Uncle Ming's footsteps.

To Peter's surprise, he hadn't run far before he caught up with Uncle Ming, and by then Uncle Ming had also reunited with the rest of Archaeology Team Two.

Originally they had assumed the cavern would be extremely complicated with all its twists and turns, but at this moment Peter saw clearly that the place the cavern led to was a sheer cliff.

It was simply situated inside, like a canyon within the belly of a mountain, and the sound of flowing water from before was coming from below.

Peter swallowed hard instinctively, while Wang Wang Kaixuan and Hu Hu Bayi stood before the cliff, both stunned. Now they truly had nowhere to go!

But many of them immediately thought of another problem—Yang Lu Si had also come in this direction earlier. At first they had moved very slowly, afraid the monster would suddenly charge out from some dark corner and attack them.

Later on, they couldn't help speeding up, thinking only of Yang Lu Si.

If something really happened to Leader Yang, every single member of Archaeology Team Two would fall into deep self-blame. Precisely because they didn't want to see that outcome, everyone had rushed over without regard for their own safety.

Even if it meant disobeying Yang Lu Si's orders, what they saw now was only the bottomless flowing water below.
