Chapter 831

When Young Master Zhao said these words, he wore an utterly heartbroken expression, as though he were thinking for everyone's sake, but in truth everyone knew perfectly well that at its core this all stemmed from nothing but his own cowardice—nothing more!

Yang Lu Si flung his hand away in one sharp motion. Young Master Zhao had no time to think at all. He swept his gaze around the circle and hurriedly said, "Everyone, say something! We really can't keep going forward!"

Young Master Zhao's thinking at this moment was simple: since his strength alone was not enough to sway Yang Lu Si's opinion, he would unite with the others.

He simply could not believe anyone would stare wide-eyed and go looking for death—it clearly defied all logic.

When Young Master Zhao first proposed not going any further, only one person had seen those things, and afterward Yang Lu Si said everything he had seen was an illusion.

On that premise, no matter how afraid he was, Young Master Zhao could only compromise.

But now things were different. This time everyone had seen it, and in Young Master Zhao's view, that meant they could no longer stubbornly keep walking that way.

To do so would drag everyone together into the abyss!

When Young Master Zhao said all this, he had already decided in his heart that someone would chime in—everyone except Hu Hu Bayi, Wang Wang Kaixuan, and that Shen Qiong.

But the next moment, not a single sound was heard.

In the livestream chat, the comments were full of contempt for Young Master Zhao.

The saying "the player is blinded, the onlooker sees clear" perhaps did not apply especially well to Young Master Zhao.

【This Young Master Zhao is such an idiot—he can't even figure out such a simple problem.】

【Actually, we can't just look at people through colored glasses. That vine was just too terrifying. Right now, running is the best move.】

【Listen to me, close the livestream quick. With your IQ, you might as well say goodbye to archaeology livestreams forever.】

【I just don't like arguing with people like you!!!】

【Stop wasting words on him. This guy's IQ can be equated with Young Master Zhao's.】

【Moron!!! You think Captain Yang doesn't want to lead Archaeology Squad Two out of here for now? Look around—is there any chance to do that?】

【All the dangers are blocked behind us. The only thing left is a single path leading to the main hall. There's no way to retreat.】

【What I'm worried about is how they'll get out after they finish exploring.】

【Just set your mind at ease. With Mr. Zhang there, there'll definitely be no problem!】

Young Master Zhao had no idea what the chat was saying. At this moment his eyes were full of disbelief, and he thought to himself: Is loyalty really more important than life?

Young Master Zhao did not notice that everyone looking at him wore expressions full of contempt.

If he had even a shred of brains, he wouldn't be acting so stupid right now!

To actually come up with the idea of running away—and even now Young Master Zhao still hadn't given up on that plan, even after seeing everyone's reaction.

The next moment, Young Master Zhao blurted out in a rush: "Are you all crazy? Are you sick?! Or have you all started hallucinating, become someone else? The most urgent thing right now is to get out of here—not that damned Jingjue Ancient City!"

Young Master Zhao's state was a little unhinged. If this had been earlier, someone might have thought Young Master Zhao had been controlled by the Corpse-Fragrant Amorphophallus or by the strange magnetic field here.

But now no one paid him any attention. It seemed this unhinged state was exactly the style that suited him—any other approach would backfire.

The principle was that simple, but a relatively simple principle always has a complicated process of derivation, and at this moment the group was already preparing to set out.

No one looked back again at the tangled mess of vines behind them.

Young Master Zhao unconsciously fell to the back, his feet not moving an inch.

Yang Lu Si did not take his bamboo case from him, and still let Young Master Zhao carry it on his back.

The last one, Wang Wang Kaixuan, glanced back. At this moment, he alone bothered to pay Young Master Zhao any attention.

This man was not so much hateful now as a little pitiful. Not only had his brain short-circuited, but he was still clinging to that state of his!
