Or do you think my outlook is too optimistic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in unison, then immediately shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the person who had just asked the question continued: \"Mr. Zhang, we have actually seen all these things. The key is that I feel you believe they can still turn danger into safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin smiled slightly and said: \"That’s right, exactly. But I don't want to spoil it for you. Just wait and see; in a moment, you will see a truly stunning scene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stunning? What does that mean???]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe! Hehehe!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin could not guarantee that everyone was on the same wavelength. After all, there were so many people watching the live stream, and there would always be many who developed various biases in their thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among these biases, there would also be those who stood out from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fundamentally speaking, human thought can never be truly suppressed. Zhang Lin is a storyteller, not a philosopher; he can only control the rhythm and guide the train of thought of the majority.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But once certain biases appear, they naturally spiral out of control, just like their so-called \"shipping\" of him and Yang Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter when or where, there will always be busybodies who use all sorts of bizarre ideas to judge things that are completely impossible to happen later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thinking is similar to daydreaming, and it is precisely because of this that so many people take extreme paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this kind of wild imagination and fantasy, they can obtain unprecedented satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps such satisfaction is the motivation that keeps them going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, all sorts of lewd remarks suddenly appeared in the live stream comments. They clearly knew that Zhang Lin could not have meant that, yet they kept guessing in that direction. It was truly hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What the hell are you thinking? Damn it! Your minds are so dirty!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You can twist anything into something so perverted, seriously! Get lost!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Get out of the live stream, go die as soon as possible!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comments were filled with insults, but they soon died down. Zhang Lin did not look at the situation through the comments anymore; the key was the live stream itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book friends at the Crescent Hotel also held their breath, waiting for this moment to see what kind of scene it would be and what kind of stunning spectacle it would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, anyone with a normal train of thought understood which direction Zhang Lin’s \"stunning\" referred to—it definitely referred to Yang Lu’s skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes passed quickly. The Second Archaeological Team was now ready, waiting for Yang Lu’s order, and they could rush out at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how relaxed Yang Lu had appeared before, she was ultimately a bit nervous now. This was a race against time and a game of chess against Wang Wang Canghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any slight mistake would lead to a death without a burial place, so it was impossible to say she wasn't nervous under these circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Yang Lu couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm all her emotions as the battle was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the Second Archaeological Team, Yang Lu knew very well that the only way to seize a glimmer of opportunity was to maintain absolute calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the authorities, they did not pass on what Zhang Lin had said last to Yang Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they knew that if Yang Lu received Zhang Lin’s affirmation, it would be helpful for what was to come—at the very least, this kind of encouragement was much stronger than anyone else's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the authorities were thinking more deeply. While the encouragement would certainly have an effect, it would also add a certain amount of psychological pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would rather Yang Lu not have such encouragement than add pressure to this leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, all the facts currently proved that these people from the authorities were overthinking it, regardless of whether they made a corresponding reply or receipt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu had long understood what Zhang Lin wanted to say, but it was reasonable for the officials not to react, as they were completely unaware that Zhang Lin was Yang Lu’s senior fellow apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of emotional stabilization, Yang Lu scanned the crowd, and her gaze finally rested on Young Master Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Yang Lu asked leisurely: \"One last confirmation, has everyone memorized the route?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded without hesitation, especially Young Master Zhao, whose expression was exceptionally solemn at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, he naturally knew the urgency of the situation and no longer dared to be in his previous state. No one wanted to die; they all wanted to live well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, how could a playboy like Young Master Zhao have such world-weary feelings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Yang Lu emphasized \"one last time\" was precisely because of this Young Master Zhao. If she weren't afraid of him causing more trouble, Yang Lu wouldn't have said these things at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"the first drum raises the spirit, the second tires it, and the third exhausts it.\" This is the principle; the more one hesitates now, the greater the impact on one's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Young Master Zhao like this, Yang Lu nodded with satisfaction and immediately said: \"Alright, wait for my command, prepare to set off, and remember to move at your fastest speed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in unison again, indicating they understood, and at this point, Yang Lu naturally had nothing to hesitate about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the audience in the Crescent Hotel or those watching the live stream from different places, everyone was holding their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, they were looking forward to the Second Archaeological Team passing this difficult hurdle, and on the other, they wanted to see what the \"stunning\" event triggered by Yang Lu that Zhang Lin mentioned actually was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Finally at this moment, go Second Archaeological Team!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Go Leader Yang! Best wishes!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Young Master Zhao, don't mess up this time, I'm counting on you!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As long as Young Master Zhao is fine, everything will definitely be okay this time!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I'm just afraid Murphy's Law will come true; the more you don't want something to happen, the more it happens.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Get lost!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the comments were frantically cursing those who said such discouraging things, Yang Lu gave the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had already lined up in order, with the three people responsible for holding the keys at the back. Following Yang Lu’s order, they rushed onto the correct route together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single person had the slightest worry about whether the change that happened to Xu Lang would occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, for them, choosing to believe was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi and Hu Hu Bayi took the lead in running wildly; the route was already deeply ingrained in their minds. Soon, everyone reached the first node, but they did not stop; only Yang Lu stayed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the others were running ahead, Yang Lu couldn't help but examine the statue. It was in the shape of a tomb-guarding beast, which was common, but the key was that this statue looked strange no matter how she looked at it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>",1235,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","73adacbc9005351be39e83611291d42d0ed1bc0cbcb3880fe871ef109b7f1b1a","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-525","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-523",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
