Chapter 2948

But as the roar abruptly cut off, everyone wore looks of astonishment. The first to react hurriedly raised a hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Lin gave a faint smile and said, "Have you already forgotten what I just said? This place itself is an illusion, so never trust what you see or hear. It's half-true, half-false. What matters is how you judge it."

The crowd reacted in various ways at his words. Some sucked in a cold breath, some appeared relaxed, while those who had fallen into panic had caught another meaning in Zhang Lin's last sentence.

Half-true, half-false — what matters is how to judge it.

If everything before their eyes were false, then naturally there'd be no need to overthink it; they would only need to stick with their original strategy and keep moving forward.

As the saying goes, meet soldiers with soldiers and flood with earth. Such Illusionary Realms were something Archaeology Team Two had experience with from the start, so handling it was no trouble at all.

But if it were a case of half-true, half-false, then it would test the most basic judgment of Archaeology Team Two. Any wrong choice on their part could very well lead to an uncontrollable crisis — that was an ironclad fact.

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Zhang Lin quickly waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. Even if Archaeology Team Two hadn't honed this kind of judgment back in the Ancient City of Jingjue, after going through so many tombs, they can already tell the true from the false in most things!"

"Anything too unbelievable is naturally false. Besides, I'm still sitting right here — even if they judge wrongly, I can correct it in time."

Hearing this, everyone in the next moment breathed a collective sigh of relief. This was, in effect, Zhang Lin's implicit promise. The fact that he could say such a thing proved he had absolute confidence.

And he wouldn't be like before, only setting a boundary for Archaeology Team Two and then leaving most matters for them to handle on their own.

That clearly wasn't the outcome Zhang Lin wanted to see.

Zhang Lin also explained very clearly why that roar had cut off so abruptly — it was simply due to the influence of some unpredictable presence within the Illusionary Realm, which was why Archaeology Team Two had ended up in their current state.

With this premise, they could really set their minds at ease. That terrifying monster visible to the naked eye might just be another false image.

After hearing this explanation, everyone in Archaeology Team Two except Yang Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Lu, under such circumstances, would never let down her inner vigilance. For her, relaxing prematurely would be a disrespect to everyone's lives.

As the leader, she had to guide the group forward and maintain unwavering conviction. If they approached it with a game-playing attitude, not only would they be unlikely to lift their curse, even taking the next step would likely be extremely difficult.
