Chapter 2913: How should we proceed? Take a detour or charge straight in?!

~7 min read 1,259 words

Although Zhang Lin did not say it directly, he did not refute the words spoken by those book friends, which could be considered a tacit acknowledgment of the situation. In other words, their current location was indeed the City of E Luo Hai.

They had expected that after seeing this situation, Zhang Lin would provide a direct explanation—that is, tell them why the City of E Luo Hai, which was clearly underground, was currently bathed in sunlight.

Yet Zhang Lin said nothing; instead, he only offered a reminder. However, in their view, this reminder from Zhang Lin did not seem to carry much significance, because even if Zhang Lin had not said such things, under Yang Lu's leadership, they would have maintained a state of absolute vigilance anyway.

Seeing the bewildered crowd, Yang Lu immediately said, "Did you not hear the subtext in Mr. Zhang's words?"

The group shook their heads honestly. Yang Lu smiled helplessly and said, "Do you remember the tomb we were in before? In the Ancient City of Jingjue, there were those venomous snakes, and later, when we reached the Longling Maze Caves, there were spiders."

Hearing this, Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up. "In the Insect Valley, we encountered those human figurines. Does that mean every tomb has matching creatures that become the guardians of that tomb?"

Yang Lu nodded. This time, Wang Kaixuan's reaction speed was quite satisfying to her. This was the point. In fact, no matter what Zhang Lin talked about regarding what they might find later, it was better to let them realize it themselves. Zhang Lin had always been cultivating this autonomy in the Second Archaeological Team.

Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Right now, Wang Kaixuan's way of understanding was flawless, which was what satisfied Yang Lu the most.

At the same time, Zhang Lin, who was above at the Crescent Hotel, also nodded subconsciously. In fact, there were others who wanted to continue asking questions, but upon seeing Zhang Lin's expression, they realized there was no need to ask further; the answer was right there, exceptionally obvious.

Yet, quite a few people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, because as long as Zhang Lin said this, it confirmed that he definitely already had his own judgment regarding the situation that would follow. With this premise, they could even put their hearts at ease on behalf of the Second Archaeological Team.

In reality, this mindset was fundamentally wrong. No matter what they thought, it was not important to the archaeological team. The live stream needed fans and needed people to support it.

However, the archaeological team was fundamentally different from Zhang Lin, who was appearing on the scene. They were truly risking their lives to complete the exploration of the secrets within the tombs. Of course, perhaps this was the case for the First Archaeological Team now.

But the Second Archaeological Team had changed their intent—that is, to break the curse.

At this moment, within the Second Archaeological Team, everyone was still looking at each other in dismay. Even though they understood what Yang Lu had said and knew they needed to be cautious and guard against the inexplicable creatures that might appear later, no one knew what they should do right now.

Shen Qiong tentatively said, "Team Leader Yang, is what we need to do now to find the way forward in this ancient city? Or should we simply not approach it and take a detour?"

Yang Lu smiled helplessly and said, "If we don't attempt to explore this ancient city, how could we possibly have a chance to break the curse? Therefore, going inside is a must."

Yang Lu told everyone in a very firm tone that they must move forward unwaveringly. In fact, if one thought about it from another perspective, one would understand: even when Zhang Lin was not above at the Crescent Hotel, hadn't they solved many dangers by relying on their own abilities?

Although solving many troubles without Zhang Lin's command was not that easy, the end result was always turning danger into safety; the process was just a bit more convoluted.

So, all of this was trivial. This led to Yang Lu's absolute confidence being established now. At the beginning, breaking the curse was just Yang Lu's own business, but as subsequent emergencies occurred, it became everyone's business. In fact, Yang Lu had always been full of guilt in her heart.

It was just that although the road ahead was rugged, relatively speaking, they were getting closer and closer to what they wanted to obtain. Since Zhang Lin had told them bluntly that the end of the curse was here, naturally, no one would harbor the slightest doubt and would continue to walk forward with a persistent mindset.

And by acting according to Zhang Lin's instructions or the general direction he provided, they could obtain everything they wanted.

At this moment, Mr. Ming was still the most cowardly person in the Second Archaeological Team. His original identity had nothing to do with the Second Archaeological Team. The further they went, the stronger the regret in Mr. Ming's heart became.

Previously, he had watched almost all the live streams of the Second Archaeological Team, and he had a deep impression of what happened inside the Ancient City of Jingjue.

Not to mention those venomous snakes, just from the Corpse Fragrance Konjac, one could see that once something capable of manipulating human consciousness appeared, the influence of the illusions one saw was extremely dangerous. This was equivalent to killing with a soft knife; one might not even realize it when they died.

Although Mr. Ming understood that as long as he followed the Second Archaeological Team, the road ahead would certainly be increasingly perilous, at least for now, Yang Lu had no intention of turning back and leaving.

Under this premise, Mr. Ming was certainly much more cautious than anyone else, and he dared not express his own opinions at any time.

While the members of the Second Archaeological Team were walking forward, Mr. Ming was desperately winking at Peter. Now, only Peter could protect him well; Mr. Ming did not trust anyone else at all.

It seemed that after such a long time, he had seen Peter's absolute loyalty. If it were at the beginning, Mr. Ming would not have had such expectations.

The faith of such a person was only money. Once money could not be obtained, the first thing he would think of was how to save his own life. Previously, Mr. Ming had already used that crazy state to interpret for everyone in the Second Archaeological Team just how greedy he was.

Therefore, Mr. Ming himself also realized one point: if any accident really occurred, I am afraid that no one in the Second Archaeological Team would stand on his side.

Even if that kind of fatal crisis really happened before, Yang Lu would subconsciously still reach out to save him, but now, I am afraid that this subconsciousness was no longer there.

If any uncontrollable situation really appeared here, Yang Lu would still have to ensure the lives of her team members first. As for Mr. Ming's situation, it would depend entirely on his own luck.

Peter saw Mr. Ming's nervousness at this moment. He hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Boss, don't worry, as long as we follow the archaeological team, we will definitely be fine."

After hearing this, Mr. Ming glared fiercely at the other party!
