Chapter 3077

Who would have known that before the call could even be made, after only two or three seconds of hesitation, Wu Tianzhen and the others directly took the vessels in their hands holding the spring water and splashed it on without the slightest hesitation.

Wang Wang Canghai was so angry his gums itched, and he let out a melancholy sigh as well; at this point there was no longer any need to call Zhang Lin.

In any case, the instant the hot spring water was splashed on, every outcome was already fated; if what lay behind the mural was the information they wanted, then naturally there would be no problem at all, otherwise everything would have lost all meaning.

Wang Wang Canghai kept shaking his head, while his eyes were wide open, staring fixedly as he watched, hoping to discern the situation at the very first moment.

At the same time he also had to make the most intuitive choice; if what lay behind the mural really was those things, even if only some fragmentary traces existed, as long as it touched upon the secrets once hidden away, then Wang Wang Canghai might truly change his present choice—in other words, he might no longer persist in going on.

Whether it was Archaeology Team Two or Archaeology Team One, so what if they got hold of the Muchen Zhu? After all, even after obtaining the Muchen Zhu, he still wasn't fully confident he could unlock the secret within it and thereby complete the ritual Zhang Lin had described.

Earlier Zhang Lin had told him that a certain ritual did indeed exist—this was the so-called way of becoming an immortal—but Zhang Lin had also spoken bluntly, saying that such a thing was nothing more than a fraud.

Everything stemmed from those old deceptions; even though Wang Wang Canghai did not believe it, on the level of intuition he still left himself a certain margin.

Based on this point, even if this matter failed, Wang Wang Canghai would not be especially disappointed to the point of despair; perhaps at that time Wang Wang Canghai was convinced he still had a way of retreat to fall back on.

This was also what Zhang Lin had always said about the naive side of Wang Wang Canghai; if he had not kept clinging to such naive notions, perhaps the final outcome would not have been so tragic.

Even though those things had not yet happened, according to Zhang Lin's calculations, this point in time could not be waited out much longer; perhaps Wang Wang Canghai would truly end up just as he himself imagined—both body and mind, and even his soul—finally all bound by some inexplicable power.

Leaving him without even the qualification to be a rat; at that time Wang Wang Canghai should have felt a hundred kinds of regret, believing that by not making the corresponding choice at that moment, he had ended up with a result where he could neither live nor die.

But all that was later; at least for now Wang Wang Canghai was still in a state of obstinate delusion.

Watching the paint slowly peel away, Wang Wang Canghai lost the courage he had just had, painfully closed his eyes, and took a deep breath; at this moment the eyes of everyone in Archaeology Team One were locked on the mural.

They were also very eager to see what would happen the next moment, but they never expected that once the spring water had completely washed the paint away, the mural seemed to have turned into a chaotic state—utterly incomprehensible, with no way to tell what was what on it, only colored lines.

Fatty, Wu Tianzhen, and Wu Ya were all dumbfounded; Zhang Lin, seeing this scene, was also stunned. Could it be that everything was different from what he had imagined? If this had been at the New Moon Inn, everyone would have immediately raised questions on the spot to see whether Zhang Lin had any corresponding explanation.

The next moment Zhang Lin slowly closed his eyes; he raised his hand and gently tapped his own forehead. In tombs most things were no trouble for him, but this time the situation was indeed rather unexpected—before this Zhang Lin had no related inference either, so taking a bit longer to think now was perfectly understandable.

And as for Archaeology Team One, at this moment Wu Ya's eyes were full of bewilderment.

The next moment Wu Ya, without asking anyone's opinion, immediately took the copper basin in her hand and filled it once again with a full basin of hot spring water.
