Chapter 525

This tomb-guarding beast was from the Ming Dynasty. It was discovered from a distance at the beginning, which led to the fact that Wang Wang Canghai had set up a residual array.

The shape of the tomb-guarding beast was fixed; ever since such things appeared, it had always been a beast face, deer antlers, and a human body.

Yang Lu soon discovered what was strange: it all came from the eyes of the tomb-guarding beast!

Normal tomb-guarding beasts were used for burial; this was indisputable. The key was that since it was called a tomb-guarding beast, it also had the function of suppressing lonely ghosts and wild spirits that might appear in the tomb.

Of course, this was just a feudal concept. However, setting aside scientific issues, since it was meant to express this intention, the tomb-guarding beast should at least be in a state with eyes wide open.

This was the only way to scare off enemies. But now, the eyes of this tomb-guarding beast were squinted; it wasn't trying to express any anger by squinting, it was completely in a listless state.

Seeing such a scene left Yang Lu baffled!

At this moment, Yang Lu saw a circular protrusion on the belly of the tomb-guarding beast, with a disc-shaped object embedded in it.

Putting the matter of the tomb-guarding beast's eyes aside, Yang Lu saw the bronze emblem engraved with patterns on this circle and nodded slowly, knowing that this must be the key her senior fellow apprentice had mentioned.

As long as she could get it off!

At first, Zhang Lin did not clarify this matter because this bronze emblem was simply too conspicuous; as long as they weren't brainless, they would definitely find it.

Yang Lu naturally thought so too, but upon second thought, her brows couldn't help but furrow.

The reason was none other than the fact that Young Master Zhao was still there!

In normal times, this person might not be much of a problem and was quite clever, regardless of whether he caused trouble or not.

But now, everyone was running forward with all their might, completely in a state of exhaustion.

Under these circumstances, Yang Lu believed that Shen Qiong could maintain a relatively calm state, but Young Master Zhao was not necessarily the same.

It was very likely that in a minute, he would be like a blind dog looking at the stars, completely clueless.

Having figured this out, Yang Lu didn't care about anything else and shouted loudly at the backs of the running crowd: "The bronze emblem on the belly of the tomb-guarding beast!"

Yang Lu believed that her reminder was clear enough and that it would successfully reach Young Master Zhao's ears. Shen Qiong had just reached the second marker point at this time.

She naturally heard Yang Lu’s words clearly, glanced at the belly of the tomb-guarding beast, and quickly turned to say to Young Master Zhao, who hadn't run far yet: "Young Master Zhao, the bronze emblem on the belly of the tomb-guarding beast, we'll act together when the time comes."

"Got it!" Young Master Zhao quickly agreed.

At this moment, the comments couldn't help but sigh again.

[Sigh... Leader Yang really worries too much.]

[If the First Archaeological Team encountered this situation, it would be fine; at least the three of them, including Master Zhang, could solve it completely.]

[You're talking nonsense; the most important thing now is to deal with the situation at hand!]

[Although Mr. Zhang can predict the crisis in advance, he cannot help them solve the problem entirely. Let's keep watching.]

[Time is still too tight, and the key is that the three must be synchronized. If they mess it up...]

This person was right; what he said was also what Yang Lu was most worried about. Once they stepped onto the suspension bridge, the countdown had already begun.

Whether they did it or not, time was ticking away bit by bit; this was an indisputable fact.

At this time, the main force of the Second Archaeological Team had already run two-thirds of the distance, and after passing two more suspension bridges, they would reach the third node.

In an instant, everyone passed another suspension bridge. Wang Pangzi and Hu Hu Bayi were still in the lead, while Xu Lang was responsible for watching Young Master Zhao.

After all, he had an injury on his leg; if he really fell behind, it would be troublesome.

But no one expected that even a script of "danger without harm" wouldn't happen; Young Master Zhao followed at this extreme speed the whole way.

Perhaps just as he said, he still had the physical strength, even in this state.

Looking at Young Master Zhao’s situation beside him, the heart Xu Lang had been hanging was basically half-relaxed. It seemed that things would be relatively easier to handle later.

And all the pressure would fall on Yang Lu’s side.

But at the beginning, everyone actually had different self-reproaches; the key was that they really couldn't help Yang Lu.

Even though Wang Pangzi and Hu Hu Bayi tried their best to fight for the first position, they understood that all this was futile; Yang Lu’s command was absolute.

Moreover, she issued such an order based on her own strength, so no one would have any different opinions.

Under these premises, they could only pray silently in their hearts for Yang Lu, hoping that this leader of the Mountain-Moving Sect would succeed.

Even if this seemed impossible for ordinary people to complete, and had even reached an unattainable height.

If Zhang Lin were here, they would believe that Mr. Zhang could create such a miracle, but they also believed in Yang Lu at this moment, and they had to choose to believe.

Looking at Wang Pangzi’s condition at this time, even though his figure was so obese, his explosive power could definitely not be underestimated.

It was precisely because Hu Hu Bayi knew this that he suggested letting Wang Pangzi and himself lead the charge at the beginning.

It wasn't to let the other party bring up the rear; the person leading must bring up the speed so that everyone could follow and run for their lives. Under this premise, Wang Pangzi had completed this task very well.

But in this final distance, Hu Hu Bayi could see that Wang Pangzi was already running through his potential.

And he was relying on a will to tenaciously support him to continue running.

Hu Hu Bayi did not speak to remind him, nor did he encourage him; on one hand, he was afraid of losing his own breath, and on the other, he felt that someone like Wang Pangzi, who cared so much about face, couldn't listen to such words.

Having Young Master Zhao at the third node already made Wang Pangzi feel somewhat uncomfortable. If it weren't for the strict orders from Mr. Zhang and Leader Yang, Wang Pangzi would definitely not have agreed.

On one hand, out of concern for his own face, he felt that even if he couldn't be considered to have great skills or speed compared to anyone, at least he wouldn't be outdone by this Young Master Zhao.

But facts proved that Wang Pangzi still had the demeanor of a great general; at this critical moment, he did not choose to compete with Young Master Zhao, but endured all this frustration.

At the same time, he also hoped that Young Master Zhao could create that miracle.

He had also heard what Yang Lu shouted before, but he did not speak to remind Young Master Zhao. After all, he was running in front, and at this very moment, the third node was reached!
