Chapter 2887

But the most awkward thing, as Wu Tianzhen had mentioned before, was that the Celestial Master Zhang simply wasn't there.

So Wu Tianzhen could only adopt a method of patient guidance, and he believed that Fatty wasn't stupid, just unwilling to think. Once the pros and cons were laid out clearly for him, Fatty would react immediately.

It was just like that now. Seeing Fatty nod, Wu Tianzhen also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Just at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the tent outside.

Many people didn't pay attention to the First Archaeological Team's live broadcast, and quite a few people opened two pages at the same time, but the live broadcast screen on the First Archaeological Team's side had been muted.

So there were no bullet screens in the live broadcast room yet, but for Wu Tianzhen, he considered this a good thing instead.

At such a time, getting too much attention would also make them feel very uncomfortable. In fact, Wu Tianzhen wanted to find Wu Ya next to seek the other party's opinion.

After all, Zhang Lin might contact Wu Ya at any time to tell them what to do next. Unexpectedly, he heard this scream immediately after.

A look of surprise flashed in both their eyes. They hurriedly stood up and left the tent. Looking into the distance, the scream wasn't made by their people, but by Wang Cang's people.

In fact, Wang Cang had also received first-hand news at almost the same time. Since Su Nan had already said this, Wang Cang had to know what the situation was on the Second Archaeological Team's side.

Wang Canghai also knew that the authorities would definitely pass this word to the First Archaeological Team intact.

Since Wu Tianzhen had thought of this, Wang Canghai couldn't sit and wait for death. The authorities would pass the message on the First Archaeological Team's side, and he would pass this news on Wang Cang's side.

And Wang Cang made this choice the first moment he knew the news, sending someone to pull the chain of that statue.

Regarding the chain connected below, everyone had actually discovered it at the beginning. This was a very common piece of common sense regarding tombs; you could call it a 'Horse Chain'.

It was a chain essential for sealing a tomb or certain mechanisms at the beginning. This kind of thing was also very taboo locally. Ordinary people would definitely run away the first time they saw it and wouldn't touch it easily.

But one side was an archaeological team, and the other side was grave robbers; they definitely wouldn't have such taboos.

Also, they were originally waiting for Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel to give them the next clue here. Since that was the case, there was definitely no need to worry about these messy things.

Anyway, even if some demons and monsters really popped out from under this four-legged dragon statue, they would attack in a group at the first opportunity. Choosing to do this line of work meant you couldn't worry about accidents happening.

And accidents or dangers were always synonymous with opportunities. If the tomb remained silent, it would instead be of no benefit to what they were going to do next.

Wu Tianzhen and Fatty originally thought such an accident had occurred, so they ran out quickly, but unexpectedly, what they saw when they arrived outside was a scene that baffled them both!

They saw Wang Cang punching and kicking one of his subordinates, and that person was wailing repeatedly, begging to be let go.

But this play was acted out too clumsily; even those bookworms in the First Archaeological Team who were only responsible for research noticed that something was wrong immediately!

They were all shaking their heads incessantly; it was truly a case where even dogs would shake their heads.

But a person like Wang Cang would absolutely not arrange such a fake play for no reason. Wu Tianzhen reacted almost instantly.

The reason the other party did this was to deliberately make him come out to see this scene, or in Wang Cang's view, he couldn't continue waiting anymore and had to take action directly.

Wu Tianzhen pondered it over and over; now there were merely two choices: either go forward and ask what the situation was, or turn around and leave, simply not picking up on this matter.

But both choices had their awkward points. It had to be said that Wang Cang's method this time was quite ruthless.

Regardless of which one was chosen, at least Wang Cang could get some useful information. If they chose to turn a blind eye, then the First Archaeological Team's intention would be very clear.

It was hard to say if they really had to continue waiting. If they went over to talk, even if they had chosen to take action before, Wang Cang would definitely use his own way to bring up some things the First Archaeological Team was wary of at this moment.

Then, he would make the First Archaeological Team unable to take action. Fortunately, Wu Tianzhen didn't have the idea of taking action directly at all, so he didn't think too much at this moment and walked over directly. Just as he approached Wang Cang, the other party was still kicking his subordinate with effort.

Wu Tianzhen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, aren't you deliberately trying to make me come out? No need to go to such great lengths; actually, you could just have someone pass a message."

"What's the meaning of acting out this play now? Provocation or wanting to start a fight directly?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang indeed stopped, and then he kicked the chain on the ground that sealed the statue and the mechanism. Although this mechanism was only the simplest one.

And because of weathering for so many years, it had long since decayed, but at this moment, Wang Cang seemed to treat this chain as a breakthrough.

Immediately, he pointed at the chain and asked, "Team Leader Wu, you should know very well what this is, right?"

Wu Tianzhen didn't think the other party could come up with any more tricks, so he nodded along with the other party's words.

"Of course, just a horse chain, used for sealing the tunnel door. This thing, placed now, has no other symbolism besides being a taboo."

What Wu Tianzhen said was completely the truth, and at this moment, regardless of what kind of thoughts the other party held, he definitely adopted the most resolute attitude and would definitely not give the other party a chance to take advantage.

All the behaviors displayed by Su Nan on the Second Archaeological Team's side actually confirmed one point from the side: she ultimately still stood with Wang Cang.

She did all this just to help the other party out of the siege, and under this situation, the First Archaeological Team also had a certain responsibility; they couldn't just let Wang Cang go like this.
