Chapter 879: As Long as Mr. Zhang Is Here! Every Disaster Can Be Turned into Good Fortune!

Zhang Lin smiled faintly and said, "That depends on how you understand it. On the level of searching for things, I believe Wang Canghai definitely failed — there is no doubt about that!"

Even though Zhang Lin had specifically emphasized this, in their understanding, Wang Canghai had simply lost. Such a man who thought himself all-powerful had failed to find what the Queen of Jingjue had left behind.

As long as he hadn't obtained it, he certainly hadn't succeeded. Even if Zhang Lin didn't think this way and hadn't told everyone, at least that was how they saw it.

Zhang Lin knew the key point lay not only in the Muchen Zhu, but also in whether the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book was hidden within the ancient city of Jingjue.

As for whether the Muchen Zhu could be found, the answer now seemed quite clear: there was no possibility.

It might even be that Wang Canghai hadn't obtained the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book either — the problem could lie in the existence of the Corpse Fragrance Konjac!

In Zhang Lin's view, Wang Canghai probably had no good way to deal with this Corpse Fragrance Konjac either, even though he had entered the interior of the ancient city through a virtual space.

But he was still affected accordingly, and afterward he evaded these things through various means, constantly searching for the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book or the Muchen Zhu but never finding an answer, and in the end could only leave this place.

And once again left behind failed experimental subjects.

The reason he said all this was that Zhang Lin had already noticed a hint of dejection appearing in Yang Lu's eyes, and now he had to give her this firm answer.

To let Yang Lu maintain that hope in her heart. If the ancient city of Jingjue contained no clues Yang Lu was looking for or anything that could break the curse, Zhang Lin would now explain the situation in a roundabout way.

Telling her to withdraw quickly, and doing his utmost to help the Second Archaeology Team find the corresponding exit!

After all, everything that needed to be seen had already been seen. If they insisted on the Queen of Jingjue's coffin, the dangers triggered within would be incalculable.

If Zhang Lin were with the Second Archaeology Team, he could certainly help them perfectly avoid it, but right now he was only at the New Moon Restaurant.

If they sought the Queen of Jingjue's coffin merely out of curiosity or the desire to explore its secrets, it would lose all meaning.

It wasn't worth risking their lives, or they could simply prepare more thoroughly and enter the ancient city of Jingjue again.

Yet now Zhang Lin saw a different situation.

Looking back at the Second Archaeology Team, upon hearing the official reply, a flash of excitement glimmered in Yang Lu's eyes.

She also knew Zhang Lin's words were directed entirely at her — her senior was telling her not to lose heart, that those things were still there, and as long as she could find the corresponding clues, there was still hope for the curse on her.

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head at this point and couldn't help saying, "What exactly is Mr. Zhang talking about? It sounds really mysterious."

"Even Wang Canghai tried his hardest to find it? And still didn't find it."

This question was directed at Yang Lu, but at this moment Yang Lu shook her head and sighed, not answering.

Zhang Lin didn't even know exactly what it was — how could she possibly know?

Even if Zhang Lin knew, he wouldn't say it directly at the New Moon Restaurant. Some things only when they were fully revealed would Zhang Lin give a clear answer.

This wasn't some after-the-fact commentary, but rather not wanting to intensify everyone's shock again. He could completely tell them all the logic he had sorted out.

But if he did, all their anticipation might be diminished, and Zhang Lin continuing his storytelling would seem pointless.

Based on this major premise, Zhang Lin acted this way.

Yang Lu checked the time and figured it was about time, so she immediately said, "Let's set out. You've all heard what Mr. Zhang just said. We now not only need to find the Queen of Jingjue's coffin, but also try our best to find that possible entrance and think of a way to seal it shut. If we can't seal it..."

At this point Yang Lu fell silent, but Wang Kaixuan grinned and said, "Don't worry, Captain Yang. I believe as long as Mr. Zhang is still on the scene, even if that Sea Monkey really comes bursting out, there will definitely be a way to deal with it!"

Yang Lu shook her head upon hearing this. She understood that if Zhang Lin could really tell them the Sea Monkey's weakness through remote command, he wouldn't have waited until now.

This meant dealing with this mutated Sea Monkey required absolute force — that is, everyone together, united, to resist it.

Relying solely on the Vajra Umbrella in her hands, Yang Lu certainly couldn't pierce the Sea Monkey's skin, so completely killing it would be an impossible task.

Everyone continued walking forward. Wang Kaixuan didn't dwell on the topic any longer, but in his heart he still couldn't let go of the Sea Monkey matter.

Everyone understood that no matter how relaxed their expressions or how much they looked forward to the road ahead, they had to be on full alert.

Otherwise they might well become one of the Queen of Jingjue's burial objects.

The matter of Wang Canghai had also served as a wake-up call for them in a way. Such a figure gained no corresponding benefit in this tomb, or rather didn't get the correct answer in the end — could they do it?

But since Zhang Lin was at the New Moon Restaurant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They all believed Zhang Lin could give them clear instructions. Once any corresponding danger appeared, Zhang Lin would definitely foresee it in advance. With this mindset, they dared to continue forward.

And at this moment Young Master Zhao was still sticking close to Yang Lu. Zhang Lin was one thing, but Young Master Zhao now understood perfectly well who to follow to have any hope of truly getting out of here alive.

If a crisis appeared at any moment, Yang Lu could definitely handle it — just like the mutated Sea Monkey earlier. If Yang Lu hadn't poked out one of its eyes in advance,

Wang Kaixuan wouldn't have smoothly gouged out the other eye. That was the answer.

As for Young Master Zhao now, he didn't care at all what was in this tomb. If he weren't afraid of Wang Kaixuan giving him another beating with the military shovel, he would have long suggested Yang Lu quickly ask Mr. Zhang through official channels where the exit was.

He truly didn't want to stay in this tomb any longer — it was too bizarre. In his whole life he had never felt himself so close to death.

And now Young Master Zhao kept repeating three words in his heart: "Stay alive, stay alive."
