While the two were talking, the others in Poker also brought up Lin Yi’s matter.
"Song, you’ve had more interactions with him. What do you think?" Ace of Spades asked.
"My opinion doesn’t represent yours. You should evaluate for yourselves."
Song Jinmin said nonchalantly as he ate.
In this godforsaken place, not even being able to smoke, eating has no flavor.
"I think discussing this is meaningless. Even if one day the boss is gone, he doesn’t have the ability to take over," Plant K said, "
S-Class isn’t something you achieve just by talking."
"Strength is one aspect, but there are other standards," Diamond Q said, "
But discussing this now might be a bit redundant. Who knows, the boss might have other plans."
"That’s possible," Red Heart King said, "
But at this point, let’s think about something useful. If the Stone Gate can’t be opened, this discovery will be meaningless."
"We’ve been studying this for many days, and it’s not easy to come up with a solution in a short time," Queen of Hearts said, "
We’ll have to see if the boss’s son can think of a way. I’ve heard he’s a very smart person."
"Don’t pin your hopes on a young man. Be prepared for disappointment."
The Poker team discussed widely, while Song Jinmin quietly ate his food.
For him, such discussions weren’t beneficial for Poker.
For explorers, thinking about such miscellaneous things can affect their mobility.
"He’s back!"
The people from Flame Dragon exclaimed, drawing the attention of both teams.
They saw Lin Yi and Moon walking towards them.
"How was it? Did you encounter any danger along the way?"
No matter how adventurous Lin Jingzhan is, seeing his son, he would feel a strange emotion.
"With her here, even if there was danger, it wouldn’t affect me," Lin Yi said, looking at Moon.
Lin Jingzhan nodded, "Rest up. We’ll move in an hour. Any issues?"
"No need. Let’s start now. No need to waste time," Lin Yi said, "
I’ll change into my protective suit first."
Lin Jingzhan nodded, and everyone got up without needing a call, beginning to organize their gear.
"Ace of Spades, have your people stand guard on the perimeter."
"Yes!"
Under Lin Jingzhan’s command, the Poker team was geared up, ready to re-enter the ruins.
On the other side, under Jiang Zhengnan’s orders, the Flame Dragon team likewise prepared.
About half an hour later, both groups were ready, and Lin Yi stepped forward first.
At this very moment, the Land of White Bones in the photos was tangibly before them.
This real sight was more overwhelming than imagined.
For a moment, images flashed in Lin Yi’s mind.
Countless creatures, drawn by some force, came here.
But what they didn’t know was that it was truly a land of death.
Stepping down, the weathered bones crumbled to powder underfoot.
Step by step, like a celestial pathway coronating an emperor.
The road of bones wasn’t long, just over twenty meters.
Once inside the cave, the white bones gradually disappeared, and the path smoothed out.
About half an hour later, the massive Stone Gate emerged before Lin Yi under the searchlight.
Though seen before in photos, in person it was more awe-inspiring.
The engravings and symbols seemed to possess a certain magic, capturing one’s gaze, causing vertigo.
"We’ve thought for days without a clue. It’s all on you now," Jiang Zhengnan said.
"I’ll give it a try."
Lin Yi didn’t rush but stepped forward toward the Stone Gate.
Though the gate was large, Lin Yi had seen bigger, grander gates in daily life.
Standing there now, he felt unusually small.
Like a grain of sand in the desert, a drop of water in the ocean.
