"As we discussed, I'll go in first."
Wang Jian had already arranged with Zhang Haiyuan that he would enter first to maximize their safety. Liang Bo was aware of this plan. However, Liang Bo's students and the other archaeological personnel were not, so when Wang Jian finished speaking, Xiao Cao and the others looked at him with strange expressions.
"Doctor Wang," Xiao Cao said, "it's best to leave professional matters to the professionals."
The others chimed in, "Let Xiao Cao go first. If there are any mechanisms inside, he can detect them in advance."
"That's right! Doctor Wang, you've already led us this far. How could we let you scout ahead for us? This place isn't like the mountain path. If something were to happen to you, we couldn't bear the responsibility."
"Exactly."
A surprising number of them agreed. Even Liang Bo hadn't expected this and looked at Wang Jian and Zhang Haiyuan apologetically.
