One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"This kind of rare and divine object is simply tailor-made for you Behemoths!"

As he spoke, he pointed directly at the Longevity Elixir on the high platform.

"Our Chinese team got a little advantage down there. But this final prize has to be won by you, brother!"

"Don't be shy! Please go first! We'll keep watch here for you. If anyone dares to take it from you, I, Zhang Chulan, will be the first to object!"

These words were spoken with such openness and sincerity, revealing such deep brotherly affection.

however.

William stood there, looking at Zhang Chulan's face, which was smiling more brightly than a flower.

His lips twitched uncontrollably twice.

I had a PTSD attack.

William's mind flashed back to the scene in the side hall not long ago.

At that time, this kid also had the same warm-hearted face, and was just as generous as he let me open that exquisite jade box.

And the result?!

A poison gas bomb came flying right at him, burning through his energy shield and attracting a three-meter-tall red-haired monster!

"That bastard Zhang Chulan! Does he think I'm a fool?!"

William couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But her facial expressions were still well-controlled.

"Brother Chu Lan..."

William slowly pulled his hand out of Zhang Chulan's iron clamps.

He was all smiles at that moment, but his eyes betrayed a deep sense of wariness.

"You're too kind."

“We Behemoths have always respected our allies. There is an old Chinese saying, ‘There is an order of seniority.’ Your Eastern history is longer than ours, so it is only right that you should touch this treasure first.”

William isn't stupid.

Zhang Chulan could see four large coffins; was he blind to be unable to see them?

The iron chain was as thick as a person's thigh, and you could tell at a glance what was inside was not to be trifled with.

At this point, whoever steps forward to be the first to do so is just setting a precedent for others!

"No, no, no! Brother, you're being too polite!"

Zhang Chulan not only ignored the challenge, but shook his head vigorously, resorting to moral blackmail:

"In terms of technological prowess, you are number one in the world! This kind of divine object, which may contain complex mechanisms, definitely requires your high-tech methods to safely remove it!"

"We're a bunch of rough martial arts practitioners, we don't know how to use our strength. If we accidentally break something, wouldn't that be a loss for all of humanity?"

"No no no!"

William waved his hands repeatedly, his feet rooted to the spot, his tone more humble than ever before:

"Science is insignificant in the face of miracles. Brother Chu Lan, the Qimen Dunjia you demonstrated in the passage was simply art!"

"This kind of thing, which contains Eastern philosophy, can only be attributed to Master Wang and Master Zhuge!"

Wang Ye, who was leaning against a stone pillar, was rubbing his sore shoulders.

He heard that the flames of war had spread to his own territory.

He yawned widely and plopped down on the ground.

"Ouch……"

Wang Ye clutched his chest, his brows furrowed, his voice so weak it sounded as if he were about to breathe his last:

"Captain William, you flatter me too much. I was severely injured by the forced opening of the Qimen. I can't even walk a few steps, let alone get anything."

"I just want to find a place to lie down right now. You guys go ahead and get it, just leave me a spot for a photo."

Zhuge Qing covered half his face with a folding fan, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes:

"Yes, Captain William. In China, we have the story of Kong Rong sharing pears."

"Besides, look how slippery these steps are, my leather shoes are really not suitable for climbing. Your equipment is much better, please go ahead."

Hearing the Chinese team's blatant lies and excuses...

The American team players completely lost their composure.

Lucy rolled her eyes dramatically:

"Are you guys acting in a comedy? I didn't see you complain about being tired when you were chopping up the mummies down there."

She turned to William: "Captain! Why waste words with them? I'll use my mental power to sweep it over!"

"Shut up!"

William sternly stopped Lucy.

He looked at the bronze coffin and warned in a low voice:

"Didn't you see what's down there? You used your powers to touch it; who knows what destructive mechanism you might trigger?"

"No one is allowed to make any rash moves before we have a clear understanding of the situation!"

Hank clenched his fists, his face turning red with suppressed urges:

"So we're just going to stand there and watch?!"

"of course not."

William took a deep breath, put on a sincere expression again, and turned to look at Zhang Lingyu, who hadn't said much.

He felt that among this group of people, the white-haired Taoist priest looked the most upright and honest.

"Master Lingyu".

William spoke sincerely, trying to find a breakthrough by appealing to the honest man:

“As a esteemed disciple of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, you have always been upright and honest. This treasure is suspended in mid-air; someone has to go and retrieve it.”

"Our two sides are deadlocked here, which is unbecoming of a great power. Why don't you make the decision?"

Zhang Lingyu, who was suddenly called out, was slightly taken aback.

He glanced at the drop of longevity essence that shone with an alluring luster, then at William, whose face was full of anticipation.

Finally, Zhang Lingyu's gaze fell on Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye.

On the mountain, he is indeed a law-abiding and reasonable person.

However, during this time, he was training outside with Zhang Tianyi, and was also influenced by Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Lingyu cleared his throat.

Instead of stepping forward, he tucked his hands into his wide sleeves and lowered his head slightly.

A deep sense of shame appeared on that aloof and handsome face.

"Captain William, you flatter me."

Zhang Lingyu sighed softly, her tone filled with self-reproach:

"I am a humble Taoist priest with limited knowledge and skills. I have exhausted my vital energy dealing with those mummified corpses. My blood and qi are surging, and I am truly unable to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"Besides, Chu Lan is my junior. Since he has already given this item to everyone, how can I, as an elder, take what belongs to him?"

"Captain William, please go ahead."

"..."

William was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Zhang Lingyu's serious and flawless face.

I was cursing under my breath!

It's a ghost!

Is this really the respectable Taoist priest from the intelligence report?!

This excuse is even more plausible than Zhang Chulan's!

Which pyramid scheme organization did your Huaxia team receive standardized training on your sales pitches from?!

"Gentlemen, this is going too far!"

William finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and the fake smile on his face completely disappeared.

"We fought our way here from afar, and now the treasure is right in front of us. You're just going to say you won't take it? Do you really think we're just going to be used as minefield laborers?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately objected, jumping up and down in protest:

"Brother! How could you say that! We're just respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and promoting international friendship! How could you take our good intentions for granted!"

"That's it."

Zhuge Qing fanned the flames from the side: "Capitalists are indeed suspicious; you wouldn't even dare to accept a treasure offered to you."

Chapter 394 A Transnational Fraud Ring is Established! Host, please take your seat!

The two teams engaged in an extreme tug-of-war that lasted for more than ten minutes on this open ground less than thirty meters from the Longevity Guide.

They passed the buck to each other.

Mutual moral blackmail.

No one was willing to take another step forward.

The scene was quite comical at one point.

Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, spittle flying everywhere.

Suddenly, a commotion came from the edge of the abyss behind the altar.

"Splash."
