【No problem, just treat them as burial objects; this can still have some residual value.】

In fact, if this interlude hadn't occurred, Yang Lusi would have wanted to rest in this place for an hour or two.

After all, everyone had been traveling for half a day and was already tired.

But the current situation could not tolerate any delay; everyone in the archaeological team saw where the problem lay.

Since this group of foreign grave robbers had bombs, they must have other weapons.

So it must be very dangerous!

The reason Yang Lusi wanted to get that authority from the official side wasn't just because she hated this matter.

The key lay in the fact that their goal was the Ancient City of Jingjue.

And if this group of people accidentally found the Ancient City of Jingjue, and the things inside were moved by them, the cost would be much greater than the current small-scale crisis tomb.

Precisely because she saw this, Yang Lusi had to seize the time and set off immediately.

Wang Kaixuan didn't wait for Yang Lusi's instructions and took the lead.

He used his military shovel to dig on both sides, quickly digging out a passage.

Everyone walked up, and Wang Kaixuan immediately said: "Leader Yang, should we split into two teams next? Or act as one?"

Yang Lusi was stunned, then asked with a smile: "Why split into two teams? And what would be the goal of acting as one?"

Wang Kaixuan was also stunned at this time and said subconsciously: "Aren't we going to find those foreign grave robbers?"

Yang Lusi shook her head and said: "I didn't say we were going to deliberately look for them; our goal is still the Ancient City of Jingjue; we cannot lose the big for the small."

Wang Kaixuan smacked his lips helplessly.

Yang Lusi continued to explain: "Actually, this logic is very simple; I also want to catch this group of people quickly, but have you thought about whether there is another possibility?"

"That is, they have already reached the Ancient City of Jingjue before us."

Upon hearing this, Professor Sun immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

The reason he was so certain was because after passing through the Prince of Gumo's tomb and seeing those situations, and with Zhang Lin's explanation, they understood what an imaginary space was.

Under the support of this premise, to find the Ancient City of Jingjue, one must first pass through the Prince of Gumo's tomb.

Even without explanation, Zhang Lin, who was watching the live stream, knew Professor Sun's thoughts.

But he shook his head, thinking to himself that this Professor Sun still didn't understand what the connection between the imaginary space and the Ancient City of Jingjue meant.

It wasn't that some things would definitely happen, but that it was just easier to find the Ancient City of Jingjue based on this probability.

Sure enough, the next moment Yang Lusi said: "Professor Sun, I understand what you mean."

"But Mr. Zhang never said such things with certainty; he only established the concept of an imaginary space for us; if we pass through the Prince of Gumo's tomb, the probability of finding the Ancient City of Jingjue is greater."

"Because we hold certain information and the key to the Ancient City of Jingjue, but even if they reach the outskirts of the Ancient City of Jingjue, there is a certain loss to us."

Upon hearing this explanation, Professor Sun opened his eyes wide, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Leader Yang is right; I neglected this point; let's set off immediately."

Everyone got back on their camels and traveled for another three or four hours, just as the sun was setting.

From far away, Yang Lusi sensed something was wrong.

She immediately raised her hand to signal the team to stop, took the lead in flipping off her camel, and looked ahead with binoculars.

Ahead were three or four tents, and there were extinguished campfires in front of the tents.

If they hadn't passed through that place before, everyone would still be hesitant at this time.

But now, no one needed to ask about the situation; ahead must be that group of foreign grave robbers.

Wang Kaixuan came over with his military shovel and said: "Leader Yang, let me go ahead and scout the path."

Yang Lusi pressed down on Wang Kaixuan, who was about to rush out, and said: "I'll go."

It wasn't that she didn't trust Wang Kaixuan, but in the current situation, Yang Lusi felt that no one was more suitable than herself to scout the path ahead.

Wang Kaixuan had an impulsive personality, which was absolutely unsuitable in this situation.

And the other party definitely had guns; if one were to talk about who had the best skills in the archaeological team, that would definitely be Yang Lusi.

And everyone else was far behind her.

If they went to scout ahead and the other party really took out guns, the only person who could retreat unscathed was Yang Lusi.

At this time, Yang Lusi didn't explain much; after saying this, she carried her Vajra Umbrella and rushed forward quickly.

She didn't even look for cover during this process.

Because she hadn't seen a single person through the binoculars, and the fire had also gone out; it was very likely a temporary camp ahead, and the other party hadn't had time to retreat.

As for whether there were people inside, that wasn't something Yang Lusi needed to consider now.

Running halfway, Yang Lusi already had her Vajra Umbrella in hand.

Arriving close by, Yang Lusi realized that their field of vision had just had a blind spot.

Just twenty meters in front of the first tent, a person was sitting there, wearing a dark green sand-proof suit.

It seemed they hadn't noticed Yang Lusi's approach.

And Yang Lusi, after confirming there was no one in the tents, walked over quietly.

Just after walking a few steps forward, Yang Lusi suddenly withdrew her cautious appearance.

Wang Kaixuan, who was watching from afar with binoculars, was suddenly stunned, not understanding why it had become like this.

But he soon realized what was wrong, because even if Yang Lusi hid her figure well.

This was, after all, the desert; even under the influence of the sandstorm, this person should have had at least a little bit of vigilance.

But the reality was that this person was still sitting there stiffly, without any reaction at all.

Yang Lusi had also thought so when she first went over.

Her steps seemed light and slow, but as long as this person turned their head, Yang Lusi was confident she could rush up quickly and kill them in one strike.

The reason she was like this now was because, from this distance, she noticed that this person no longer had any signs of a living person.

Although the other party's hood was pulled very low, blocking their entire face, making it impossible to see the situation.

But she could make such a judgment by the fact that there was no movement in their chest and abdomen.
