Chapter 3265

~6 min read 1,196 words

Zhang Lin firmly believed that by relying on the strength of the archaeological team plus his own command, he could resolve everything; after all, his deterrent power at the Crescent Hotel was absolutely no joke.

Just as Zhang Lin had thought from the beginning, even if Wang Canghai were lent a hundred guts, he would not dare to truly fight Yang Lu to the death, unless he was willing to stake everything he had built over these three hundred years.

Conversely, after Wang Hu heard Wang Canghai say this, he immediately realized that he did not need to offer any more suggestions, because those were simply unimportant to Wang Canghai.

In fact, Wang Hu was also in a state of self-reproach; he felt that he should have realized this point long ago and not needed to think about those messy things.

From this point, one could once again see just how hopeless Wang Hu was.

However, Wang Hu would ultimately not consider these things; he now only hoped to honestly follow Wang Canghai, observe the celestial phenomena in the sky during the day, and then know where to go next.

And just at this moment, Wang Canghai's own satellite communication device rang again; Wang Hu's brows began to furrow, and even Wang Canghai was quite surprised.

Because no one had called this number for a long time; of course, as long as someone took the initiative to call, then that person's identity was basically obvious—it was exactly Zhang Lin.

However, it was precisely because of this that Wang Canghai appeared very surprised; one must know that Zhang Lin had absolutely no reason to contact him at this time node.

Regardless of which angle one looked from, Zhang Lin felt that he already had victory in his grasp; Wang Canghai wanted to use the other party's pride to complete this matter, and as long as he found the corresponding flaw, he could open up all the breakthroughs. When Wang Canghai picked up the satellite communication device, he took a look and it was indeed Zhang Lin.

Wang Canghai first furrowed his brows slightly, and immediately after, a flash of joy crossed his eyes; he thought that perhaps Zhang Lin had seen something about to happen at this time, and thus concluded that he was definitely not a pushover.

That was why he wanted to find a way to contact him, so as to obtain the greatest benefit. If he really thought this way, Wang Canghai was definitely overthinking it again; Zhang Lin could not possibly hold such thoughts.

And the reason for calling a second time, with not too long an interval, had only one cause: Zhang Lin had received news from Mr. Wang afterward, and he did not know where Wang Canghai had reached on this end.

Now he was very clear that Wang Canghai was close to the position above where the Second Archaeological Team was currently located, but based on observing the stars at night, it was easy to find the corresponding location; however, daytime would drag things out.

This was also the main reason for Zhang Lin making this call. After the two sides picked up the phone and wanted to say a few sarcastic remarks, he did not expect that Zhang Lin did not give him a chance at all.

He immediately said: "You don't need to wander around the markings on the Gularo Silver Eye; the marker three kilometers north of the place where the Second Archaeological Team went down—you go there. That area is the best for entering the Kunlun Divine Palace, and it is also the closest."

After speaking, Zhang Lin hung up the phone directly, which left Wang Canghai very confused; he even felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

One must know that he and Zhang Lin were absolute arch-enemies; why was it that at this time, it was Zhang Lin who called him, telling him in advance how to go down?

Wang Canghai did admit that observing the sky at night was not the same concept as during the day; although with his skills he could also deduce based on the laws of cloud changes and the position of the phenomena themselves during the day, relatively speaking, it was definitely much harder than at night.

Under this premise, Wang Canghai did not have absolute confidence, but he could infer a rough location and use the Gularo Silver Eye map to find the corresponding spot; it was not necessary to go down directly.

It was not certain that Wang Canghai would also observe for a period of time before this; he would not rashly bundle all problems together to think about them, as that would not only fail to solve the problems but would instead make him increasingly troubled later.

Wang Canghai was clearer about this than anyone else, which was why he did not show that kind of impatience when Wang Hu asked him just now.

Because Wang Canghai was very clear that if he showed that kind of impatience at this time, it would make him appear even more guilty. Clearly, Wang Canghai would not let himself fall into that kind of situation, so he concluded that using this way to solve the problem was the most correct response.

But Wang Canghai never imagined that Zhang Lin would pull such a move on him; at this moment, Wang Canghai was even somewhat at a loss, and even inexplicably began to feel nervous.

He did not feel that Zhang Lin was playing with him, because Zhang Lin never did such "three hundred taels of silver buried here" petty tricks. If he used that kind of clumsy strategy, just finding an entrance and telling him it was the road below, it would actually be a trap.

If it were an ordinary person, Wang Canghai believed the other party would make such a stupid choice, but under the premise that this person was Zhang Lin, Wang Canghai was very clear that the other party could not possibly do that.

This was also the reason for Wang Canghai's current nervousness and even somewhat terrified emotion; clearly, Zhang Lin must have his reasons for doing this.

In other words, Wang Canghai could now be certain that the path Zhang Lin pointed out to him was ninety-nine percent correct, but what was the reason?

Zhang Lin was urgently wanting Wang Canghai to approach the Second Archaeological Team; could it be that he just wanted to get that answer quickly? So this was the result Zhang Lin truly wanted. Some things were indeed terrifying to think about deeply.

Wang Canghai dared not imagine any further; he felt that sometimes, the more one used this way of thinking, the more one would walk into a dead end from which one could never return.

Wang Canghai had done so much, desperately trying to shake off Zhang Lin, and finally wanting to open a passage in his own way, just to be able to strive for a certain degree of autonomy. In the past, Wang Canghai did not care about these things, because he had never felt that he had lost these things.
