Gao Zhouwen glanced at everyone, including himself, a total of twenty-five people, far more than he had initially expected.

This is already a very powerful team, and if we are not careful, all kinds of conflicts and hidden dangers may arise.

Hearing his blunt words, everyone looked at each other, knowing what he meant, and no one responded.

Zhi Chang Chi said impatiently: "Who doesn't know this place? Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how to get in. What is there here that is worth your archaeological team sending people here again and again?"

"Didn't you know the real situation here when you sent people here before?" Gao Zhouwen asked back.

Chang Chi sneered, "If we knew now, would you still be able to see us? We would have left yesterday and gone to look for the so-called treasure here on our own. It's because we didn't know that we searched around and got nothing, so we had to return to the B&B and meet you."

"Mr. Chang doesn't hide anything at all." Han Yuesong said indifferently.

"So are you going to tell it or not? Now that you've cooperated, why don't you quickly tell us the information you have? Do you want to procrastinate until the end of time, and let your people become old and become bones?" Chang Chi said.

Wang Lin and Qiu Mei from the archaeological team got angry when they heard this, "Watch your mouth!"

Chang Chi said confidently and flamboyantly: "No."

"you!"

Wang Lin took a step forward but was stopped by Jian Chonghe.

Jian Chonghe signaled him to calm down with his eyes, then stepped forward and said in a slow voice: "Since it is a cooperation, we will of course tell the truth. Only when everyone understands the situation, can we respond in time and avoid any mistakes. However, this cooperation was originally facilitated on short notice, so we are a little worried. You should understand, right?"

Chang Chi: “I don’t understand.”

“………”

Jian Chonghe automatically ignored it and continued, "What happened here today is confidential. If it is leaked out by too many people, it will be inconvenient for the archaeological team to carry out their work. So we hope that both parties can send a representative to have a private talk with us over there. Based on the results, you can arrange your own response."

"But please don't tell us the reason and keep it a secret for us. In exchange, we won't care about what you do after you go in, as long as it doesn't interfere with our rescue efforts."

Gao Zhouwen added at the right time: "It is very important for both parties to have a single representative in charge. If there are any matters that need to be discussed later, we can just tell you two directly, and it won't waste time."

This made sense. Chang Chi and Chang San looked at each other, and then Chang Chi stood up.

However, when everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Wu, things became much more subtle.

Ren Ke smiled, twirling the dagger intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Hey, what's the matter? You guys are not saying that because you remember that Bai Jing and I have a grudge and think that neither of us is willing to listen to the other, so you want to take the opportunity to provoke us to argue and then take the opportunity to keep me, so that I won't follow you?"

She deliberately raised her voice in an exaggerated manner: "No way, no way, you guys would still play such a trick?"

"Ms. Ren, you are joking. How could that be possible?" Gao Zhouwen looked at them calmly, "So who among you can come over as a representative?"

"I'll do it."

Lin Wu stepped forward with his arms folded.

Gao Zhouwen was not surprised. He exchanged glances with Han Yuesong and looked at Professor Zhang and Jian Chonghe.

The two nodded and turned to walk not far away.

Lin Wu and Chang Chi followed.

Ren Ke noticed it instantly and said, "What? You can't stand it when Lin Wu is not here? But I advise you to put away the idea of ​​fighting, because you will definitely lose. Lin Wu will be angry with you if he knows you fight at this time."

Bai Ning looked at Bai Jing, then turned to Ren Ke with caution.

Bai Jing looked at the two people beside Ren Ke with his usual cold expression, and said, "You think too much. Even if I want to fight you, I will choose the time when I have finished my business. I just want to remind you that this is not a good place. The last time the archaeological team went in, many people died. You'd better come out alive first, and then I will have a good talk with you about what happened between you and me."

"I lost a lot..."

Ren Ke murmured softly, pulling the corner of her mouth, "I naturally know, I don't need you to remind me."

The other side.

Not long after walking, Lin Wu suddenly heard Chang Chi's words.

"It's not too late for you to regret now and leave and go back to the B&B."

Lin Wu tilted his head to look at him: "Why should I go back?"

Chang Chi snorted, without looking at her, and said coldly: "Why, how would I know? Of course, if you insist on dying, then it's up to you. Anyway, the famous Miss Lin is not someone who can listen to other people's kind reminders."

Lin Wu: “That’s good to know.”

Chang Chi choked.

At this time, Professor Zhang and Jian Chonghe in front stopped and turned around to look at them.

The two of them stopped.

"Don't get me wrong, we are actually very grateful that you are willing to help us save people. When this trip is over, we will be very grateful and will definitely report to the department to commend you." Professor Zhang said hurriedly.

"No need to be polite. What exactly is going on here? What do you know?" Lin Wu said. She had long wanted to find out why the archaeological team suddenly disappeared that night.

Professor Zhang looked at Jian Chonghe.

Jian Chonghe nodded, opened his bag, and took out a long object wrapped in cloth.

In front of Lin Wu and Chang Chi, he untied the cloth to reveal what was inside. It was a walking stick about 20 cm long and 2 cm in diameter. It was dark black in color and engraved with intricate patterns, like some kind of bird. The top was carved into a lotus flower, which looked lifelike, exquisite and mysterious.

There is a blood-red bead in the flower bud, and it is impossible to tell what material it is made of. This makes the walking stick look seductive instead of sacred.

"This..." Chang Chi's expression froze, "This is obviously not an ordinary thing, how did you get it?!"

Jian Chonghe looked at him for a moment before saying, "Mr. Chang has a good eye. It is indeed not an ordinary thing. Our archaeological institution received anonymous information in the mail, saying that there is a mysterious place in Lingnan, which contains a group of ancient tombs that will be helpful to our research, and this is the key to get in."

"After arriving here, Professor Zhang immediately led people to verify it, and it opened as expected! However, only Professor Zhang returned from that team. Fortunately, he brought it back, but Professor Zhang had lost his memory. Later, when we sent people there again, we encountered the same situation, and the one who returned was me, and I also had it in my arms."

"In fact, after talking with Professor Zhang, I feel that it should be no different from a talisman. It is precisely because we carry it with us that we can be resurrected."

Jian Chonghe paused after speaking, "That's why we only invited two of you here. We hope you can keep it a secret. Otherwise, if something happens after you go in, we will have to worry about someone trying to escape and snatch it away."
