In Guo Caiying's impression, experts who received higher education in China or worked in universities would more or less lack the 'purity' that a scholar should have when compared to Western scholars due to the well-known difference in academic systems.
However, to her surprise, the instant her words of calling for volunteers to enter the secret realm left her mouth, a thin middle-aged man with messy hair and a pale face behind her raised his hand and said, "I'm willing to go, Guo Si.
This is our Chinese exploration team. We're so lucky to have found the secret realm, so we can't just let an American Chinese be the first to enter. "
"Professor Song, I'll go too if you go." Behind the middle-aged man, Dr. Xu, who was in his thirties and had a pointy mouth and cheeks like a monkey, who refused to admit his mistake despite being fiercely criticized by Zhang Lisheng, clenched his teeth and said, "I've studied paleontology for more than ten years, so it's a joke for me to watch a doctor of natural resources judge the value of an ancient site without doing anything myself."
Guo Caiying had only casually mentioned that she was calling for volunteers. She thought that those Chinese professors and doctors who were usually tactful would never volunteer to be the first to enter the secret realm. Now that she saw that the situation was not right, she could not help but look at her lover guiltily with an apologetic expression.
"Miss Guo, looks like I'm not the only one here who has that kind of untimely, Don Quixote scientific spirit," Zhang Lisheng gave the girl a nonchalant smile. Zhang Lisheng returned a nonchalant smile to the girl. Then, he stood on the protruding strong root and turned his head to look at the Chinese scholars condescendingly. "To all of you courageous Chinese scientists, I'm honored to work with you.
My curiosity has made me feel impatient, so let's get started right away. "
As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, Duan Lianbao looked at his unfamiliar back and suddenly felt the anger hidden in his heart almost exploding. He almost could not help but make a hand seal and chant an incantation to burn the black-haired man in front of him into ashes.
However, in front of the only daughter of the Chinese Red Leader, the negative impact of killing a foreign expert she personally hired in a domineering manner for no reason made this Taoist true disciple suppress his impulse. With a dry voice, he suggested to Guo Caiying very rationally, "Guo Si, I think it's better to let our security team enter the secret realm first and eliminate the possible danger before all the experts enter."
Just as he finished speaking, the outstanding disciple of Buddhism who was on good terms with Daoism also chimed in, "Guo Si, I think Director Duan's words are very reasonable. The secret realm is unpredictable, it's always beneficial to be more careful."
"Oh, Mr. Directors, your words have brought the problem back to the original point, haven't they?" The instant the two of them finished speaking, Zhang Lisheng showed an impatient expression and spoke first without waiting for Guo Caiying to answer. "It's indeed safer to let superhumans like you enter the light door to explore first before scientists like us go in.
But now, we can't see any danger with our naked eyes. If we want to find the hidden danger, we only have two choices. One is to investigate closely, and the other is to rely on your superpowers.
The clarity of this door of light was slightly weaker than before. In other words, there was a time limit to its existence. Therefore, we definitely couldn't afford to waste the time of a strict investigation.
In this case, there's only one choice left. Your powerful superpowers, but the island behind the light door does not exist on Earth or any 'world.' Instead, it's an independent subspace. No one knows what the consequences would be if there's an abnormal energy fluctuation inside … "
"Dr. Fu, does this light door mean anything to you? You seem to be in a hurry to go in?" A sense of uneasiness and impulse made Duan Lianbao abruptly interrupt Zhang Lisheng's words as he asked coldly.
"Of course it does! It may be the most valuable research object in my life. You're not a scientist, so it's hard for you to imagine the importance of such a rare material to us," Zhang Lisheng said seriously. "I'm not against you or against your words, Mr. Director. I'm just stating my position and point of view from an objective point of view."
The young man's words made Duan Lianbao speechless. When Guo Caiying, who was by the side, saw that Zhang Lisheng was obviously pestering them endlessly but still managed to justify himself and shut the Taoist true disciple's mouth, she seized the opportunity to say, "Alright, Director Duan, Dr. Fu, time is running out, so please stop arguing.
I've thought about it, and the best way is to let the comrades from the Religious Affairs Bureau and the experts enter the secret realm together. If we really encounter any danger, we'll try to solve it with a 'physical' method.
Everyone, divide yourselves into groups, and we'll … "
"Guo Si, t-this isn't …" In a situation where there was no conflict of principle, Duan Lianbao should respectfully obey the red noble lady's words. However, an inexplicable irritation in his heart made Duan Lianbao interrupt Guo Caiying's words uncharacteristically.
Upon seeing his abnormal behavior, the big-eared true disciple from the Buddhism faction, who had been helping the Gate of Dao for thousands of years, took a step forward and blocked in front of Duan Lianbao. With his palms pressed together, he said, "Guo Si, you're really thoughtful. This is indeed the best of both worlds."
"Alright, then our comrades from the Religious Affairs Bureau will quickly decide who will enter the secret realm and who will stay behind," Guo Caiying nodded in satisfaction and ordered.
Three to five minutes later, the people who stayed in the woodland and those who entered the light door were divided into groups.
Due to the reason that Guo Caiying must stay behind, in order to ensure her absolute safety, none of the chiefs of the Taoist, Buddhist, witchcraft, and Muslim sects in the expedition team would enter the secret realm. Even the true disciple who ranked second in strength also stayed behind.
This matter seemed a little absurd. Just now, they were clearly worried about the safety of the experts and argued for what was right, but in the blink of an eye, they had decided to leave their absolute strength outside the secret realm.
However, it just so happened that everyone in the expedition team felt that it was a matter of course. Only Zhang Lisheng looked at Guo Caiying with a strange expression and said with a curl of his lips, "Miss Guo, after Director Duan showed his humanistic care for the scientists just now, this grouping is really beyond my expectations.
Oh, looks like even if we might be completely annihilated in the light door, you'll still be able to walk out of the jungle safely. "
Zhang Lisheng could sensitively tell that Zhang Lisheng had emphasized the words' we ',' possibly ', and' completely annihilated. 'Guo Caiying's expression seemed to have changed because of his sarcastic tone, but soon returned to normal. Looking back at the young man, she smiled indifferently and quickly mouthed the words' look for me in the future. '
Zhang Lisheng scratched his chin and nodded, no longer saying anything. Twenty to thirty seconds later, he boarded the Buddha's Pagoda summoned by a Buddhist true disciple together with the team exploring the secret realm. They walked towards the light door that was suspended more than ten meters above the ground and stuck close to the bark of the giant tree.
Taking a step would mean the transformation of the 'world.' On the fourth floor of the shining golden pagoda, the Chinese scholars standing on the eaves of the pagoda looked at the light door that was at the same level as them. All of them had a nervous and hesitant expression on their faces.
In a moment of excitement, they had the courage to challenge the unknown, but when it came to the end, they could not help but hesitate. In fact, not only the scholars and experts, but even those younger true disciples of the Chinese sects who had less experience also felt their heartbeat quicken and their mouths dry when they arrived in front of the light door.
When Zhang Lisheng saw that there was no one around who wanted to be the first to eat the crab, he curled his lips and pretended to take a deep breath before shouting out loud, "People will definitely be very nervous when they face the unpredictable unknown, but it's this nervousness that fascinates me.
The mysterious island, the mysterious rocks, the mysterious trees, and the mysterious wooden house! I'm coming! "He was the first to step into the light door.
The world changed in a flash. There was no strange feeling outside the door, but when he stepped on the stone ground of the island, Zhang Lisheng immediately felt that most of the divine power in his body began to boil against his will.
"Tiantai Mountain! This must be Tiantai Mountain! It's the Tiantai Mountain that God Wa refined the stone and chopped the turtle to mend the sky! Great luck! This is really my great luck …" At once, unable to suppress his ecstasy, the young man muttered to himself and walked towards the wooden house in the distance.
At this time, because someone had taken the lead, all the Chinese explorers who had plucked up their courage had already stepped into the secret realm. When they had just calmed down, someone looked at Zhang Lisheng's back and shouted, "Dr. Fu, stop! Don't act on your own!"
"Since you asked me to stop, I'll stop then …" Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and pondered for a while. A cold smile crept upon the corner of his mouth as he stopped his footsteps.
In order to prevent Guo Caiying from being criticized because of him, he began to perform the last act.
The person who made Zhang Lisheng stop was the person in charge of the science of the secret realm exploration group, the thin middle-aged man who was the first to respond to Guo Caiying's call for volunteers. When he saw the young man stopping, he immediately brought the other scientists to follow him.
Standing at a high place with a wide field of vision, the thin middle-aged man looked at the surrounding environment and gradually became excited. "This seems to be the environment of the rocky base island. Looks like those trees and weeds grow from the rocks.
Dr. Xu, go collect plant specimens and figure out whether those trees and weeds germinate from the soil and push up the rocks, or whether they take root directly in the rocks. If it's the latter, then we'll have a big harvest this time.
The air quality here is really good and fresh. It's a pity that we didn't bring any instrument to analyze the gas composition. Worker Xu, I think it's a little difficult for Dr. Xu to collect so many kinds of specimens by himself. Why don't you help him?
Dr. Liu, check the rocky base of the island and see if you can determine the year of formation. That's right, Dr. Guo, aren't you studying natural resources? Help Dr. Liu to analyze the types of rocky bases. This should be your specialty, right?
Worker Zheng, let's go take a look at that wooden house over there. I think the style should belong to the early Iron Age style, but the carving of the eaves is just too exquisite. What do you think? "
"The rectangular house foundation is indeed the architectural style of the early Iron Age Hemudu civilization, but …" Upon hearing the thin middle-aged man's words, a tall, round-faced young man who had been walking side by side with him looked at the wooden house and replied with a frown. The other Chinese scientists also began to get busy with their own work according to their division of labor. Only Zhang Lisheng followed behind the thin middle-aged man and walked towards the wooden house step by step.
