But Zhang Lin also spoke for him; this matter ultimately couldn't blame Young Master Zhao, so everyone's gaze towards him now had fewer unkind emotions.

Yang Lu didn't express any emotion when she heard him say this, just looked at him!

Young Master Zhao didn't wait for Yang Lu to give an order or let him speak at this time, but said directly: "Why don't we rest here? Anyway, the effect of the hallucination is almost over. We rest here, at least wait until tomorrow night, Mr. Zhang will give us corresponding guidance."

"That way the road ahead will also become easier to walk!"

Hearing this suggestion from Young Master Zhao, if it were from the past, then no one would accept it.

Because everyone's heart held the same idea: they couldn't trouble Mr. Zhang to do these things anymore.

When the other party was at the Crescent Hotel, they listened to Zhang Lin's guidance; when they were not at the Crescent Hotel, they faced those crises themselves; this was certain.

But now, a hint of inexplicable fear had appeared in their hearts!

The key point came from everything the Queen of Jingjue had arranged, plus the addition of these things from Wang Wang Canghai; these two added together were definitely not a problem of one plus one equals two.

It far exceeded all their assumptions and previous logical ranges.

Once it exceeded this common sense inference, then they would naturally become frightened birds, seeing every thing as a potential danger, suspicious of every move.

At present, they must admit defeat or must accept this reality; they couldn't complete everything that followed, they could only wait for Zhang Lin to announce the answer and give them the final result.

And in this situation, no one thought that doing so was a very shameful thing.

How about the First Archaeological Team?

There was Wu Tianzhen, there was Pangzi, and most importantly, there was Celestial Master Zhang.

Such a powerful person as Celestial Master Zhang, didn't he still rely on Mr. Zhang's guidance to escape with his life in the end!

If it weren't for Mr. Zhang, they definitely wouldn't have discovered the abnormality and blown open the dome.

Including the oxygen inside those dried corpses.

If it weren't for those, Celestial Master Zhang might have escaped with his life, including those two people.

But the others would definitely have died in the sea; this point was indisputable!

Considering these situations, after Young Master Zhao said these things, everyone fell silent while looking at Yang Lu.

They knew that only this team leader could make the final decision. If she didn't nod, then no matter what these people thought, there was only one result: continue to walk forward, must execute the order of this team leader.

And they also believed that if Yang Lu let them walk forward, she would definitely give a reasonable explanation.

After all, no one would do things that were clearly sending them to their deaths; Yang Lu's style of doing things has always been like this.

They could seek the secrets within, could search for the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue, and could even risk their lives.

But it was absolutely not about rushing forward without any consequences.

Safety is the first priority; if safety cannot be guaranteed, then what they do later has no meaning.

Facing everyone's gaze, Yang Lu didn't rush to speak, and at this time, their gaze was not expectation or wanting Yang Lu to make the decision they thought, but just simple waiting.

Waiting for Yang Lu to make this decision, and then they could start the next step of action.

The reason why there was no such expectant emotion in their gaze was actually very simple: they understood that even if they made the corresponding choice, the follow-up would not necessarily get a very safe result.

This was already in the absolute hinterland of the Ancient City of Jingjue, and the Other Shore Flower bloomed right here.

Even if Yang Lu used such words, or used the things Zhang Lin said in the Crescent Hotel to comfort them, these people still carried that state of suspicion in their hearts.

It wasn't doubting Zhang Lin, but doubting the Ancient City of Jingjue itself. Sometimes unknown dangers were just there, and you didn't know when they would come, but you knew they definitely existed.

Yang Lu looked at these Other Shore Flowers and finally shook her head, saying: "We cannot rest here!"

And the group didn't have any strange emotions at this time; they all began to pack up their moods and all their things, including Wang Pangzi who was also organizing the bombs, preparing to set off at any time.

Immediately after, Yang Lu explained: "In fact, have you ever thought about one point? Since Mr. Zhang handed all this over to us, it proves that at this time node, resting is definitely not the best choice."

"And in the dark, I have a premonition that there will be corresponding dangers here. Under the premise of avoiding danger, I feel we cannot sit and wait for death, so I made such a choice."

In fact, according to the current situation, even if Yang Lu didn't explain her subsequent behavior or why she made such a choice, everyone wouldn't raise any objections.

Because they had already figured it out; after hearing Yang Lu's choice, surprisingly, the "know-it-all" gentlemen in the comments didn't speak this time.

The reason was simple: do a role-reversal, put yourself in it, look at those Other Shore Flowers, and associate them with the desperate situations before; no one could firmly make a choice.

Unless Zhang Lin still gave them guidance at this time, and the reason Yang Lu chose this way was because she understood Zhang Lin's subtext and passed it on to everyone in this way.

Even Young Master Zhao, who had proposed that so-called immature suggestion at the beginning, didn't say much this time.

Even though he was very reluctant about this choice.

But Young Master Zhao understood that if he angered Yang Lu or if he caused any more trouble in the Second Archaeological Team with his current identity, then everyone would likely abandon him!

After all, Xu Lang and Xiao Peng had already died, and everyone's mood was not very good at this time.

The cave entrance in front, which was the end of the Other Shore Flowers—according to this flower to define it, that was the junction of yin and yang. No one knew what they would see or experience after going in.

Relatively speaking, whether they could survive was also an unknown number!

And Zhang Lin nodded after seeing the Second Archaeological Team make this choice; this was exactly what he passed on to Yang Lu. If they rested in this place, then correspondingly, those Other Shore Flowers, even if they were false appearances.

But behind every false appearance, there was the reality it passed on; the things truly hidden under the Other Shore Flowers were the most dangerous. If they stayed, they would definitely not end up with a good result.

Soon, the group entered that new cave entrance, and everyone had walked less than a hundred meters when they felt very strange!
