Chapter 584

~6 min read 1,168 words

Going to explore this Jingkou was the most important thing; everything else could be set aside.

"That's enough from you. Get back to the tent, now." Yang Lusi said coldly.

Young Master Zhao, humiliated and furious, hopped about anxiously at the side and roared, "You can't treat me like this. In the end, I was the one who discovered this tomb!"

"I saw the Luo Pan during the day and knew there was a tomb here. The desert army ant nest was a complete accident!"

Young Master Zhao argued hard in his own defense, thinking that as long as he could claim the credit for discovering this great tomb, the impact of his daytime blunder would naturally vanish on its own.

But those words had no effect whatsoever; everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes at Young Master Zhao.

Who would have thought Young Master Zhao would still have the nerve to say such things now?

And the barrage of comments was a surging tide of curses.

【Typical rich second generation—no brains.】

【This guy's not bad-looking, but why does he talk like that? Like something squeezed out from the lower part of the body!】

【No need to be so polite about it—his words are exactly like farting!】

【He clearly got several people killed during the day, and now he's still spouting nonsense here.】

【I really hope Team Leader Yang can see this now and pack this Young Master Zhao off home.】

【Don't say that. A guy like this is useless for real work, but he's perfect as cannon fodder. Maybe we can use him to scout when there's danger.】

【What the person above said makes sense. The best fate for someone like this is to be cannon fodder!】

Yang Lusi didn't scold Young Master Zhao too harshly either. She understood that this rich second-generation had never experienced anything like this before, and there was indeed some genuine grievance in his heart.

It wouldn't be fair to pin the deaths of those few people on him alone—after all, everyone had been eager to pull that giant-pupil stone statue earlier.

And considering that he had faithfully served as her back-armor carrier for the whole day, she didn't hold it against him too much.

Young Master Zhao ranted and vented for a long time, yet no one paid him any attention.

He slunk back into his tent. Actually, many things in this world only require an IQ above eighty to figure out.

Even if Zhang Lin hadn't mentioned the tomb during his storytelling, this place was still discovered by him.

But in the end, the credit belonged to that Luo Pan. Without the Luo Pan itself, a hundred Young Master Zhaos could never have known there was a tomb beneath this Jingkou.

With Young Master Zhao gone, the topic in the camp shifted back to this Jingkou.

Yang Lusi didn't waste any more words and said directly, "I'm going to change into my diving suit. The rest of you get the ropes ready and set up the equipment first."

"Team Leader Yang, you're really planning to go down?" a young man asked hurriedly.

"What else? I trust what Mr. Zhang said. After all, everything he told us before has already been verified."

"But it could be very dangerous down there. Besides, we didn't bring very good diving equipment. Why not wait another day?"

"Wait another day? I don't have that kind of patience. Nothing in this world waits until you're ready to begin. The moment fear takes root in your heart, you'll never be ready."

Just then, Yang Lusi's phone rang again.

"Team Leader Yang, there's new information. The tomb below..."

The official on the other end directly repeated verbatim everything Zhang Lin had said afterward.

Upon hearing the four words "Prince Gumo," the last tiny bit of hesitation in Yang Lusi's heart vanished completely.

"Got it. Understood."

On Yang Lusi's face, which had just regained its composure, undisguised excitement surged forth once more.

Everyone who saw that expression was stunned, wondering what kind of new information could make Yang Lusi's face change so rapidly.

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head and asked first, "Team Leader Yang, is there some good news?"

Yang Lusi nodded heavily and said, "That's right. Mr. Zhang Lin's Crescent Moon Restaurant just told us—the bottom is very likely the tomb of Prince Gumo."

Every member of the archaeological team drew in a sharp breath at those words. Only Shen Qiong, who was deliberately hiding at the back, had her gaze flickering constantly.

That flicker came not from doubt, but from pure shock!

She had already witnessed Zhang Lin's terrifying abilities before. This man seemed to have foreknowledge of everything, especially when it came to tombs.

From the Luo Pan to today's celestial feng shui, as well as the secrets hidden within him.

Shen Qiong wasn't even sure whether Zhang Lin possessed other abilities as well.

The unknown of a tomb may bring fear, but true fear comes from an incomplete understanding of a person.

Once a person hides too many secrets, and you don't even know whether they're friend or foe, that inner fear can absolutely reach its peak.

Fortunately, at this moment everyone's attention was on Yang Lusi, and no one noticed Shen Qiong.

Yang Lusi no longer argued with anyone. She strode quickly to her tent, grabbed a diving suit, and changed into it on the spot.

By the time she walked back, she was already in full gear, and she saw that her team members hadn't been slacking off either.

The ropes and equipment were all ready. At this moment, in her eyes, this well seemed to glow, hiding secrets about to be uncovered below.

Doing archaeology can set everything else aside. Even without any specific goal, that pure sense of mystery alone is enough to draw countless people.

Many viewers in the livestream shared exactly this mindset.

The Second Archaeological Team's goal was the Ancient City of Jingjue. Their earlier hesitation was because this place might not have any connection to their destination.

But now no further deliberation was needed. If Prince Gumo's tomb lay below, then what they saw might greatly help them find the Ancient City of Jingjue later.

Strapping on her oxygen tank, Yang Lusi leapt straight down the Jingkou without a moment's hesitation.

And at that moment, the hearts of every viewer in the livestream hung in suspense along with her.

【I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm still a little scared. What if Team Leader Yang really runs into danger down there?】

【There's no such thing as a safe job in this line of work. It's precisely this spirit of adventure that makes her the team's leader.】

【Exactly. Young Lady Yang isn't just the team's leader—she's also the chief of the Mountain Movers. That Vajra Umbrella skill of hers absolutely makes her a heroine among women!】

【Stop worrying about nothing. Chief Yang will be fine. Besides, Mr. Zhang didn't say there was any danger down there.】
