If these matters were the same as what Wang Wang Canghai had thought before, he basically wouldn't run into any major crisis.

But if those things really happened and Wang Wang Canghai hadn't made the corresponding preparations, then when the time came he wouldn't even have the chance to beg for mercy.

At this moment Wang Wang Canghai understood that he could not have any complaints; whether it was Wang Cen or Sun Na, or those previous people who betrayed him, all of it had already become a thing of the past.

Now what he had to do was fight hard for his vested interests, and regarding Zhang Lin, Wang Wang Canghai instead adopted an evasive posture; although he knew evasion wasn't good, at least waiting until he reached Archaeology Team Two to face it was far better than jumping out right now, and this was also the core of Wang Wang Canghai's current plan.

And now Wang Wang Canghai's eyes were fixed straight on his phone screen; the picture he least wanted to see was that what was hidden underneath was not some microorganism as he had guessed, but something deliberately done by someone.

After this unknown presence saw those things that had once been hidden, they painted a layer of oil color on top, hoping to let Archaeology Team One steer past this issue, and then they could continue moving forward.

But now it was exactly backfiring; Wang Wang Canghai even felt that if such a person really existed, this approach of theirs was undoubtedly counter-productive. Thinking of this, Wang Wang Canghai's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that the other party's purpose couldn't possibly be to deliberately backfire, could it?

And Zhang Lin had long since thought of this point; the oil color itself was absolutely new, having nothing to do with the water vapor carried by the hot spring.

Any oil color tainted by water vapor would flow downward, rather than presenting such a vivid state; this proved that over these years, the only change the oil color behind it had undergone was that it had been pressed in even more deeply.

And at this very moment Fatty of Archaeology Team One raised a question, which was also because the cryptic exchange between the two of them earlier had made Fatty think a bit more.

"If we wash off the oil color with hot spring water, will it also wash away the mural behind it along with it?"

Fatty actually knew that since this method was proposed by Zhang Lin, he couldn't ask too much, but at this moment he just couldn't hold it in.

This was what Fatty did every time he encountered some question he didn't understand — he would bring it up right away, rather than keeping it bottled up inside.

Everyone who looked at Fatty was stunned; they had to admit that what Fatty said now also made sense. Before, it was because this matter itself had been proposed by Zhang Lin, so no one had thought much about it.

They assumed that whatever Zhang Lin said must be reasonable, but the reason Fatty was asking now was not that he didn't trust Zhang Lin, but that he found it strange, and Mr. Zhang hadn't given them the most reasonable explanation either.

What Fatty wanted to ask even more was why, after this water was splashed on, the mural behind would naturally be revealed. Zhang Lin, who was watching the livestream, yawned, shook his head helplessly, and thought to himself that this kind of question simply wasn't the key right now.

If Fatty had reacted just a little faster, he should have understood that Zhang Lin would give them the corresponding answer on the second night after going up to New Moon Restaurant.

Now the most important thing for them was to quickly wash the mural open; once Zhang Lin took a look at the mural, he should rest, for he didn't want to waste time on this matter.

And for Zhang Lin, although he had suspected that behind the mural might be hidden the lost history of Tiangong, this was also what Wang Wang Canghai was trying so hard to conceal.

But soon Zhang Lin shook his head to himself; he felt this idea simply wasn't realistic. If such a thing existed and later people discovered this object and then left behind these secrets,

then even if Wang Wang Canghai hadn't discovered it, the Wan Nu King would have, and would have destroyed this place.

Perhaps up to now, even Wang Wang Canghai himself couldn't figure out exactly how terrifying the Wan Nu King's strength was; even though the other party had helped him do so many things back then, it was precisely because Wang Wang Canghai's strength didn't reach that Fan Chou, so he wasn't qualified to know everything.

Under this premise, it led to Wang Wang Canghai not wanting the Wan Nu King to come back to life, and even less wanting to fulfill those promises made before, because he was certain the Wan Nu King wouldn't give him the things he wanted.

This was also the reason Zhang Lin now believed the mural itself didn't record those secrets; in Zhang Lin's view, the things hidden behind the mural were actually less important than the person who did it.

If this person really existed, then Zhang Lin was already very certain of the reason they did this — it was nothing more than to draw their attention.

Then they would inexplicably show up somewhere or other; whether they supported Wang Wang Canghai or Archaeology Team One, they would definitely bring a lot of trouble either way. Zhang Lin was more certain of this than anyone.

Facing Fatty's question, Wu Tianzhen thought for a moment and then said: "Stop talking so much nonsense, just do whatever you're told to do!"

Actually, Wu Tianzhen didn't know how to explain it right now either, and at the same time felt Fatty had a point. Since that was the case, his choice was to smooth things over, to make Fatty quickly dismiss this kind of thought, continue with the next task, and at the same time see what was actually under the mural.

Wu Tianzhen was certain that right now it wasn't just about letting Archaeology Team One uncover the real mural beneath the oil color, but also about letting Zhang Lin see an answer; regardless of whether this answer was important, it had to come from Zhang Lin's judgment, because their own judgment had no basis or validity.

Under this premise, the things they were thinking about before seeing the real mural were indeed useless, and Fatty nodded and said nothing more.

The next moment he also found a bronze jar, filled it with hot spring water; the group didn't splash it around haphazardly.

They carried the vessel filled with hot spring water to the front of the mural, and at this point all looked at Wu Tianzhen; since he was the team leader, it should be Wu Tianzhen who gave the corresponding order at this moment, as they were also afraid that a slip of their own hand would damage the mural itself.

That would be inviting a terrible disaster. What Archaeology Team One relied on in the end was this trio of three; the others didn't dare bear that responsibility, and this was understandable — it was also the only place where Archaeology Team Two was superior to Archaeology Team One.

Yang Lu's choice was different from Wu Tianzhen's; Wu Tianzhen would still bring relevant professionals down into the tomb hoping they could help explore the tomb together afterward, but Yang Lu only brought people who had a certain ability to protect themselves.

This was also the lesson those professors had given Yang Lu before; during the Ancient City of Jingjue, all kinds of trouble had already appeared, and she didn't want to sacrifice any more innocent lives.
