Chapter 930

I didn't expect Wang Kaixuan to still be able to crack a joke like this at a time like this.

Yang Lu could not help but shake her head, while Wang Kaixuan, looking at everyone's reactions, asked curiously: "What's wrong with what I said? Isn't this just a big taro? It just happens to glow."

Hu Bayi patted Wang Kaixuan and immediately said: "Your previous speculation was more reliable; perhaps this is the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac. Talking about big taros is too ridiculous!"

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head, recalling the projection of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac he had seen at the wellhead, and then said: "That's not right; we've all seen the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac before, and it doesn't look like this."

As he spoke, Wang Kaixuan raised his gun barrel and grinned. Before anyone could react, he said: "I'll fire a burst first. Regardless of what it is, I'll hit it first and talk later!"

Just as Wang Kaixuan was about to pull the trigger, a hand suddenly gripped the muzzle of his gun; it was none other than Yang Lu.

She only spoke slowly: "Go over and check the situation first before doing anything!"

Yang Lu naturally considered more than others at this moment. Moreover, in the current situation, anyone with even a modicum of caution would not agree with Wang Kaixuan's opinion. The key lies in what would happen if this were truly done.

Then they would simply be unable to bear the consequences that would be triggered; this is also the reason why Yang Lu stopped Wang Kaixuan.

Even though Zhang Lin had said that there were no longer any trap-like things in this tomb, except for the final coffin of the Queen of Jingjue.

But no traps does not mean no danger. Correspondingly, Zhang Lin has already left the Crescent Hotel today. If they were to act recklessly like this and trigger some accident, then there would be no one left to cover for them.

All dangers must be borne by them alone; Yang Lu could not accept such an outcome no matter what.

Zhang Lin had already made things very clear before: the crises they would face next would all be sudden. This means they must think through every step before taking action.

It is absolutely not about rushing forward mindlessly every time they encounter a situation. Furthermore, Zhang Lin had also said that in this Ancient City of Jingjue, one should never believe what one sees.

This means that what they are seeing now is very likely created by hallucinations.

Thinking of this, Yang Lu did not rush to send people to scout the path, but instead said: "I will emphasize this to everyone again: remember what Mr. Zhang said before he left the scene. What we see is not necessarily real, so we must be careful in everything."

And just at this moment, Hu Bayi kicked Wang Kaixuan in the thigh; although he didn't say anything, he still glared fiercely at the other man!

Wang Kaixuan was not annoyed by this incident; instead, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Immediately, with an apologetic tone, he said: "I'm sorry, Team Leader Yang; you know I'm just a reckless man."

Hearing this, the members of the Second Archaeological Team could not help but laugh, as did those watching the live stream.

【A person's value lies in self-awareness. From this perspective, this Master Kai is actually quite cute.】

【Jokes aside, what is the situation right now?】

【It would be great if Mr. Zhang were still at the Crescent Hotel; now we're completely blind.】

【Does this even need to be said? Isn't it obvious? Isn't it just the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac?】

【You can't be so arbitrary. Look at Leader Yang; she understands that we should check the situation first. Maybe what we're seeing is all fake.】

【In any case, it's definitely not a big taro, hahahaha!】

Unfortunately, not everyone was as optimistic as him; they all held an incredibly nervous mindset and were not particularly optimistic about the matter itself.

All points actually stem from one place: it is not about how dangerous the subsequent events are, but that Zhang Lin has already left the Crescent Hotel and will no longer provide any guidance to the Second Archaeological Team.

Even though Zhang Lin had already made things very clear before, this still did not stop those watching the live stream from obsessing over this matter.

Moreover, mirages all appear outside; that comes from the fact that they use the light of the sky as a medium, and then project it through a certain refraction range of the atmosphere to become the appearance of a mirage.

Wang Kaixuan naturally volunteered to scout the path at this moment, and the very next instant, a hand pressed down on each of his shoulders.

One hand came from Hu Bayi, and the other hand was naturally Yang Lu's.

Just as Wang Kaixuan himself said, he has an impulsive personality and is a hothead, so he is absolutely not the most suitable person to scout the path at this time.

After pulling Wang Kaixuan back, Yang Lu said calmly: "I'll go."

But Hu Bayi, who had never contradicted this team leader, had a different opinion at this moment; he immediately said: "Team Leader Yang, let me go instead."

Yang Lu just wanted to refuse the other's proposal, but at this moment Hu Bayi said: "Team Leader Yang, I understand what you mean, but as you just said, the path ahead is unknown. Although it is safest for you to scout the path yourself, what if there is something you cannot handle for the moment?"

"Or if you are affected by something, wouldn't we be completely without a backbone?"

Hearing Hu Bayi say this, Yang Lu was stunned for a moment, and for a time, she did not know how to refute Hu Bayi's words.

In the end, she could only sigh and nod!

Seeing Yang Lu's reaction, a flash of joy crossed Hu Bayi's face, while Wang Kaixuan said: "Old Hu, I'll go with you."

Hu Bayi immediately shook his head and said: "Someone has to stay behind to do the heavy lifting. You cannot have any accidents. If I..."

Before Hu Bayi could finish his sentence, Wang Kaixuan slammed his fist heavily against the other's chest and said: "Damn it, stop saying such depressing things. I won't go with you, but Old Hu, remember: you must come back alive, otherwise I won't be able to answer to our mother."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi grinned, patted Wang Kaixuan's shoulder heavily, and didn't say anything, just nodded firmly.

"Xu Lang!!!"

【Holy crap! Is this guy crazy?】

【What's the situation? Isn't this too sudden?】

【He must be crazy, otherwise he would never make such a choice!】

【Not necessarily! Don't forget, this Xu Lang already had thoughts of death before.】

At this moment, the only reason everyone was shocked was that Xu Lang, without anyone noticing him, had rushed up alone while Yang Lu and Hu Bayi were deciding who would scout the path.

He didn't walk over; he sprinted, heading straight for that purple "big taro," as if that thing had an immense temptation for him, rushing over without any regard for anything else.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lu did not rush over directly; instead, she narrowed her eyes!
