Chapter 972

However, only Yang Lusi could roughly understand why this was: perhaps it was precisely because she carried that curse from the Ancient City of Jingjue!

It had a vital relationship with the Queen of Jingjue, which was why it became like this.

She led the team forward, and everyone was protected; correspondingly, the potential things emitted by the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac didn't control everyone.

Under this premise, even if it was really Hu Bayi's failure in scouting, Yang Lusi wouldn't blame him, because some things could clearly be done by herself.

This time also made Yang Lusi firm in a belief: no matter what kind of differences they had in the future, the job of scouting must be done by herself.

Otherwise, it might lead to the total annihilation of everyone. If others were sent to step in, the result would be the same as Hu Bayi's. Thinking of this, Yang Lusi couldn't help but sigh sadly.

Everyone looked at her at the same time, knowing that once the team leader had such a strange reaction when nothing had happened, it meant she had already seen some potential dangers that would occur later.

At this time, they were also waiting for Yang Lusi to explain. Seeing everyone's attention drift over, Yang Lusi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't think too much, I just wanted to say that this matter actually has something to do with me; I shouldn't have let Hu Bayi go scouting."

After hearing this, Hu Bayi hurriedly shook his head. Just as he wanted to replace himself or explain for Team Leader Yang, the jade armor suddenly moved.

Its head had already been smashed, and it should have had no signs of activity, but it just happened to move at this time.

One must know that when they were in the first archaeological team, after Celestial Master Zhang cut off the head of the jade armor, the jade armor stopped moving. Now they also understood.

It seemed that what they encountered was different from the first archaeological team. At this time, the bullet comments also exploded.

【Holy crap! This thing moved again, how is that possible!】

【It seems that in the end, there is form but no spirit; this thing is much more eerie than what the first archaeological team encountered.】

【If it had pressed the switch just now and released more of the same things, the consequences would be unimaginable!!!】

【Don't think that way, it's possible this is just the most special one.】

【When I first saw the worm, I thought it was controlled by that kind of maggot, now it might not be like that.】

【In any case, all these answers will wait until the storytelling tomorrow; I think Mr. Zhang will naturally reveal them.】

【Just hope the second archaeological team can wait until that time.】

No matter when, it seemed that there was no lack of crow's mouths in the bullet comments, but this couldn't be blamed on them for holding a pessimistic attitude; even the members of the second archaeological team were actually quite pessimistic themselves now.

Under the premise of pessimism, it also led to their road ahead becoming more casual.

Including seeing the coffin or seeing the seated golden body, it seemed that opening which one first didn't mean much to them.

It was just an unexpected discovery. Hu Bayi was lying in the coffin, and now only that seated mummy remained, but Yang Lusi's attention was still on the coffin a second ago.

Seeing that armor suddenly move, Wang Kaixuan bared his teeth and immediately said: "Team Leader Yang, whether this thing is alive or dead, why don't we just be decisive and smash it to pieces?"

Yang Lusi narrowed her eyes; she had a bad premonition in her heart, as if this armor doing this was guiding them to completely shatter it themselves.

Afterward, Yang Lusi thought for a while and still shook her head, saying: "You and Hu Bayi go over and tie this thing up more tightly, don't let it cause trouble, let's do this for now."

When the situation was unclear, one had to adapt to changes by remaining unchanged. If they rashly destroyed those unknown things, God knew what kind of trouble would be stirred up.

The key was that Yang Lusi had the most obvious suspicion in this: after the jade armor was shattered, would it be like the things they destroyed before?

Would pollen burst out, even like the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac before, suddenly producing a bunch of spider lilies?

I'm afraid there would be no good results. The reason they left the place where those spider lilies were blooming was because Yang Lusi had a bad premonition in the dark.

If they stayed in that place any longer, I'm afraid all of them would die.

This was Yang Lusi's instinctive reaction under the premise that Zhang Lin didn't give a warning. If the authorities could occasionally send news from the Crescent Hotel, then relatively speaking, Yang Lusi wouldn't need to explain it like this.

This nerve wouldn't need to be stretched so tight. If her nerves weren't stretched tight now, the nerves of the second archaeological team would relax together, and under those circumstances, who knows when people would go missing again.

Watching Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan tie up the jade armor, Young Master Zhao leaned over.

He smiled shamelessly and said to Wang Kaixuan: "Master Kai."

Wang Kaixuan was working here and was stunned when he heard Young Master Zhao call him.

One must know that Young Master Zhao had always called him by his full name. Even though Wang Kaixuan had beaten him several times, this wasn't enough to make Young Master Zhao change his tone. This wasn't just a thick-skinned person, but also a stubborn one.

It was just that he was a relatively timid stubborn person. Wang Kaixuan glanced at him and said impatiently: "What are you doing?"

Young Master Zhao rubbed his hands excitedly and pointed to the position of the small bottle that Wang Kaixuan had just put into his bosom; that was exactly the corpse of the maggot that had been cut into several segments.

Wang Kaixuan originally intended to hand it to Yang Lusi, but Yang Lusi didn't take it.

Because she saw the curse on her body, it seemed to have the effect of resisting the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac and the entire Ancient City of Jingjue.

Under these circumstances, it was useless for Yang Lusi to hold this thing, so she simply handed it to Wang Kaixuan. Right now, besides Yang Lusi, the most reliable people in the second archaeological team were those three.

Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shen Qiong!

And Shen Qiong's performance was still unstable, so she simply handed the things to Wang Kaixuan, letting him prepare for a rainy day.

Wang Kaixuan was stunned when he saw the other party pointing at his chest, and then he seemed to react to something and said: "You don't want that kind of maggot, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Zhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "Master Kai, give me one, I'll eat it in advance to prepare for a rainy day."

Wang Kaixuan didn't even think about it, spat, and said sternly: "You're not worthy! Don't talk nonsense, get lost!"

Young Master Zhao wasn't angry after being scolded and still smiled with a thick skin.

He really hoped to eat that kind of maggot in advance, just like the snake blood. Of course, at this time, he naturally couldn't care about being disgusted!
