Chen Wenjin didn't dare to look him in the eye, and slowly closed her eyes, with an indescribable grief in her heart. She never thought that her team member would take the initiative to ask to end his life.

This scene was so cruel that the whole atmosphere became extremely depressing in an instant, as if even the air had frozen. Everyone watched it silently, no one spoke, and the only sound in the whole space was the painful groans and pleas of the team member.

Everyone was in a very heavy mood. Seeing this team member in such pain, no one could bear to watch any longer. Some members of the archaeological team lowered their heads and secretly wiped away their tears. They could not stand this atmosphere of helplessness and despair.

The screams and groans of the team members were like sharp blades, constantly tugging at everyone's hearts and making them feel miserable. Chen Wenjin listened to the team members' pleas with mixed feelings in her heart. She mustered up her courage and comforted them with a distressed look on her face:
"Don't say anything more. I won't kill you. You have to be strong. We will definitely find a way to save you. Just hold on, okay?" Her voice was soft, but full of determination and strength.

"Don't give up your life, believe in us, we will definitely rescue you, believe me..." Tears flashed in Chen Wenjin's eyes. She really couldn't bring herself to end the lives of her teammates. These team members were all brought up by her personally, and they were like her family members.

Her heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and her voice began to choke and she couldn't speak clearly. When the team member heard Chen Wenjin's rejection, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He looked at Chen Wenjin painfully, and then struggled to look at the other team members, as if saying goodbye to them.

Chen Wenjin couldn't help shedding sad tears, and Hao Xie was overwhelmed with grief when he saw this scene. After scanning everyone, the team member struggled to reveal a gratified smile on his face, as if to thank everyone for their company and support.

Afterwards, he resolutely bit his tongue to relieve himself from the pain. Zhang Hao and Chen Wenjin were shocked when they saw this. Chen Wenjin burst into tears and wanted to rush over to check, but was stopped by Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao comforted him in a deep voice: "Captain Chen, calm down!" His voice was low but full of power. "He's gone. Don't go over there. It's very dangerous."

"What would you do if there was any emergency?" Zhang Hao's words made Chen Wenjin a little more sober, but she could not suppress the grief in her heart.

"Zhang Hao, I'm really useless!" Chen Wenjin said with a sad face, "I just watched my teammates leave one by one, but I was powerless to do anything. Am I a selfish and useless captain?"

"I thought before that they might leave me, but I didn't expect that they would all lie in front of me." Chen Wenjin's voice was filled with endless sorrow and self-blame. "It was only at this moment that I realized that I was not that strong at all. Those were just words I used to comfort myself."

"I have been deceiving myself and I am not willing to accept all this." Chen Wenjin said bitterly, and Zhang Hao felt bad listening to her. He saw helplessness, reluctance and unwillingness in Chen Wenjin's eyes. He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he felt that no matter what he said at this moment, it would be pale and powerless.

He could only watch Chen Wenjin silently, watching her sad and upset. After seeing the archaeological team member bite his tongue to commit suicide, Zhang Qilin was also filled with curiosity and doubts. He recalled the painful expression of the team member before, and always felt that something was wrong.

Fatty Wang also noticed something was wrong. He looked at Zhang Qilin, who looked serious, and couldn't help asking, "Menyouping, can you tell me what you think of the situation of that team member just now?"

"Why do I feel like something is wrong with him? Why is he in so much pain?" Fatty Wang's words were full of doubt and worry. Zhang Qilin did not answer immediately, but stared ahead with a more serious expression.

The atmosphere was very depressing, making people feel breathless. At this time, Hao Xie suddenly looked at everyone and said, "Don't be sad, light the torches in your hands, so that the vision will be better, and even if there is any danger, we can find it in time."

"Don't let everyone speculate and get confused about the situation." Hao Xie's words cheered everyone up a little. Although no one spoke, the torches in their hands were quickly lit. As the torches were lit, everyone's vision became brighter.

At this moment, Fatty Wang suddenly screamed: "Oh my God! It turned out to be Zangjia! No wonder he is in so much pain!" His words startled everyone, and they all looked at the team member who had left.

"I had some suspicions before, but I didn't dare to confirm it for fear of causing panic. Sigh..." Fatty Wang sighed and continued, "Everyone, be careful. These burial armors are very dangerous. Once they invade your body, you will definitely die."

"You just saw that kind of situation, I don't think anyone wants to experience it?" Fatty Wang's words made everyone more alert. Everyone then discovered that there were actually quite a few burial armors on the body of the archaeological team member. They kept gnawing at the body of the team member, and the body of the burial armor gradually changed.

Seeing this, Chen Wenjin's mentality completely collapsed. She didn't care about everyone's eyes, and threw herself into Zhang Hao's arms, crying loudly: "Zhang Hao, what should I do? I really can't hold on any longer."

"Look at these team members. They have all suffered misfortune. I really can't bear to leave them." Chen Wenjin's voice was filled with endless sorrow and pain. "They have followed me through life and death. I didn't expect that they would end up like this. I can't accept it."

She cried and spoke her heart out, the depression and grief in her heart surged like a tide. If she didn't vent it out, she felt like she was going crazy. Zhang Hao was a little at a loss, he gently patted Chen Wenjin's shoulder and comforted her:

"Okay, don't be sad, this is too harmful to your body. It's useless to be sad, their lives can't be saved." Zhang Hao's voice was gentle, but full of determination and strength. "You have other team members waiting for your leadership. If you really fall, have you ever thought about them?"

"I understand, I understand everything." Chen Wenjin sobbed, "But when I think of what they did, my heart feels like it's on fire. They sacrificed their lives for us. It hurts so much!"

Seeing Chen Wenjin in such pain, and thinking about the contributions made by the team members, everyone's hearts were filled with respect and grief. At this moment, a slight rustling sound came, and Chen Wenjin turned around to look for it, but saw a scene that frightened her.

The burial armors had already begun to spread from the ground, and their number was increasing rapidly. Zhang Qilin shouted, "Be careful! Don't be eroded by the burial armors!" His voice was full of vigilance and anxiety.

Everyone retreated in fear, and after seeing these burial armors, the archaeological team members were panicked. With the previous experience, they were now like frightened birds, and would be scared at the slightest movement.

Zhang Hao saw the burial armor gradually spreading on the ground, and an idea came to his mind, he threw the torch in his hand over. What no one expected was that these burial armors were very afraid of the torch in Zhang Hao's hand, and even retreated repeatedly, not daring to get close at all.

After Zhang Hao saw this scene, he was secretly delighted. This might be a temporary solution to Zang Jia. At this moment, Fatty Wang's voice suddenly rang out: "What's going on? It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke around here?"

His words were full of dissatisfaction and anxiety. "I really don't know what's in your mind?" Fatty Wang glanced at Chen Wenjin disapprovingly and continued, "Who wants to make a fuss? I mean, there are other ways to go in this cave."

"Then what are you waiting for? Don't you want to leave here?" Hao Xie said with a confused look on his face. His words made Fatty Wang sober up a little, and he quickly said, "Let's go, I'll take you there right away."

After saying that, Hao Xie took out a bottle of wine and poured it on the ground, and then quickly lit the wine and created a flame. When everyone left, Hao Xie lit the flame without hesitation, making it impossible for Zang Jia to track them, and bought them enough time to leave smoothly.

With everyone's joint efforts, they finally left that strange and terrifying place. After Zhang Hao led everyone away, they immediately entered an underground palace. Everyone saw that the space here was wide and mysterious, giving people a very domineering feeling.

After everyone arrived here, they all shouted that they wanted to rest. Zhang Hao saw that everyone was really tired, and the space here was wide and the view was broad, so he agreed to their request. Everyone sat here to rest, and Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin were responsible for protecting the safety of these team members. At this time, one of the archaeological team members suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look everyone! There is a coffin here!" His voice was full of surprise and curiosity.

After hearing the shouting, everyone's eyes focused on the coffin placed on their right. The coffin was pitch black and exuded a gloomy atmosphere, making people afraid to approach.

Zhang Hao was a little worried. He looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, be careful. This coffin looks a little strange. We don't know what's inside. Don't open it easily."

Everyone can see that this is an underground palace, not an ordinary place, and cannot be treated casually.

"Don't rely on luck and don't wander around aimlessly." Zhang Hao warned everyone with a serious face.

"Also, don't touch anything in here casually, as it might be dangerous," he continued to remind.

"We all have to unite and not just think about ourselves." Zhang Hao emphasized the importance of teamwork.

For everyone's safety, Zhang Hao couldn't help but give a few more reminders, fearing that something might go wrong.

However, the temptation of money is so great that sometimes even the most dangerous situations can make people waver.

Not long after Zhang Hao gave his instructions, a member of the archaeological team was attracted by the glittering gold and silver jewelry near the coffin. With greed in his eyes, he quietly approached while no one was paying attention.

When he saw the gold and silver treasures, his eyes lit up and his mouth almost watered. He looked around to make sure no one noticed him, and then he started to think about the treasures.

He took it greedily, completely immersed in this moment of joy, forgetting everything around him.

Suddenly, a sinister and terrifying curse came from the depths of the underground palace, scaring everyone.

"You bastard, what do you want to do?" The voice pierced people's hearts like ice.

"Put down what you have in your hands. Those don't belong to you. Don't be so greedy." The voice sounded again, with a warning.

"Don't blame me for being rude if you don't stop. Take care of yourself!" The voice was cold and resolute.

Everyone was startled when they heard the angry curse, and then they saw the team member stealing and showed surprised expressions.

Zhang Hao noticed something strange happening to his team members at a glance and rushed forward to stop them.

"What are you doing? Put it down!" Zhang Hao shouted.

"You are so bold. Are you willing to give up your life for money?" Zhang Hao said angrily.

"Didn't I just remind you not to touch anything here? Didn't you hear me?" he reminded again.

"You never learn your lesson. You're willing to give up your life for money?" Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly.

When the team member heard Zhang Hao's angry rebuke and the woman's angry curse, he showed a reluctant expression on his face. He reluctantly put down the gold and silver treasures in his hands and stood up obediently.

Zhang Hao saw that he had lost the treasure, and thought that he had to take everyone away from this place quickly to avoid any more trouble. After all, the temptation of gold and silver treasures was too great to resist.

"Okay, let's get back to the team!" Zhang Hao shouted loudly.

"Everyone has seen it. Don't be greedy for things that don't belong to you. You should have a clear idea in your mind and know what is important and what is not important." He said earnestly.

"Saving your life is the most important thing now. Money is just external things. Don't be too greedy. Remember?" Zhang Hao reminded again.

Chen Wenjin felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect her teammates to do such a thing.

Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, everyone prepared to leave this hellish place.

"Wait, don't take anything from here. I've already warned you." The eerie and terrifying voice sounded again.

"You can't take even a penny with you. Just put it down!" The voice was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"Otherwise, you will never leave safely, including your companions." the voice threatened.

Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He stopped and looked at the team member with cold eyes. (End of this chapter)
