Chapter 343 Prepare! (First update)
Wu Chen stood still and looked at the entangled snakes and pupae that were getting closer to the xanthate powder.
“What is this sound?”
Song Gu suddenly made a sound and was right behind Wu Chen, which scared Wu Chen into a cold sweat.
Wu Chen was too focused on staring ahead, and there was no light. Knowing that there were people above him, Wu Chen was completely at ease about what was behind him.
Song Gu didn't hold a torch when he came down. When he went down the steps, he went down slowly one step at a time. When he finished going down the steps, he couldn't see anything because it was too dark, so he had to hold his breath and move forward little by little. Go, if it was normal, Wu Chen would definitely hear it, but the pile of snakes in front of him was too scary, so he could only keep cheering himself up, for fear that he would lose control of himself and pop up like Xing Yun.
Song Gu regretted not bringing a torch when he came down. He also hesitated whether to go up to get it. Thinking that Wu Chen was alone down there, he felt uneasy. He thought he would see Wu Chen when he came down, but it took him a long time. Only then did I see Wu Chen.
Song Gu thought Wu Chen would know that he was behind him, but there happened to be a crashing sound at this time. He was frightened and asked.
Wu Chen quickly adjusted his heartbeat, took a deep breath, and then whispered: "Let's retreat first, and retreat slowly."
......
By the time the two of them got to the ground, the yamen brought by Shang Gong had already illuminated the courtyard as bright as day.
Wu Chen hurriedly walked up to Shang Gong and said, "Are all the archers in place? We can't just guard this courtyard. There needs to be a larger perimeter, and people need to be sent to keep an eye on the outside for fear of someone. They will rush in during the chaos, and they won’t let it go tonight, Xing Yun!”
Xing Yun immediately appeared beside him.
"You take this big bag of medicine to Liu's house. We have to make sure that all the things underground come out from here. This medicine will definitely be more effective than the previous bag of medicine. You have to watch it carefully and wait until they find it. Just sprinkle some at the entrance, don’t go down, wait for me!”
Song Gu responded hurriedly.
"When you take your second brother to Liu's house, you must find the entrance as soon as possible. There are no turns in the tunnel. With this general direction, you can quickly determine the location. After finding the entrance, Xing Yun spreads the medicine and waits for me to go there!"
Several people left in a hurry.
After Wu Chen made arrangements, he looked around again, frowned and said, "No, if I exert my strength in a while, the rocks and earth will fly. I am afraid that we will not be able to stay here or in the yard next to it, and we will not be able to treat people!"
Shang Gong said hurriedly: "Go outside Evacuate, there will be no light here.”
“It’s too late, we can’t retreat to the front yard first, there’s a lot of dry grass here, just order it!” Go and get out quickly!”
Wu Chen didn't hear anything, but felt the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly. The crashing sounds in the tunnel were like urging orders. Those little snakes that could come out from the cracks in the door were swarming forward in piles. They should be Make room for the big guy behind, but because Wu Chen sprinkled the medicine powder, the little snake didn't dare to cross, so it got stuck there. The big guy inside couldn't come out, so he swung his tail and hit the door.
This is Wu Chen’s inference. He doesn’t want these things to come out of the tunnel. Once they come out, no matter how fast they are, they will not be able to deal with so many snakes. Wu Chen doesn’t understand what those people have learned after years of experience. What else but rats and corpses? If this is possible, why hasn't it been done earlier? These snakes cannot come back after they come out, and they will naturally cause chaos in Kyoto, but what does this have to do with them?
Wu Chen’s mind was in a mess. He watched Shang Gong lead the people to withdraw from the courtyard. His eyes suddenly became dark. He took a deep breath and heard Shang Gong commanding the soldiers to line up and raise torches in the outer courtyard. , archers built ladders up to the courtyard walls, filled water tanks with water, and even ordered people to cut down trees, just to broaden their horizons.
Snakes can climb trees and houses. That’s all Shang Gong could think of in a short time. It was too late to demolish the house and the courtyard wall. He told Wu Chen that he could destroy the courtyard. , in fact, he had no idea and no time to ask. For the scene he was about to face, his imagination could not reach it at all, so he could only do what Wu Chen said.
Wu Chen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. A question immediately flashed in his mind. He quickly asked loudly: "Shangfu Yin, have all the surrounding residents been evacuated?"
Shang Gong was startled when he heard the sound. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up his shirt and ran to the backyard. He stood at the door of the courtyard and replied breathlessly: "Everyone has been evacuated."
" You don’t have to come over, just stand there and talk, I can hear you. If I ask something later, you must not come over again. Remember, I can hear you!”
Shang Gong didn’t ask why. , turned around and ran away with his shirt in hand.
Wu Chen walked to the tunnel entrance. He could already see the little snake crawling onto the steps below. Wu Chen immediately waved a palm and the tunnel entrance collapsed instantly. Wu Chen did not dare to waste time. The bricks and stones were cracked. These are all ways for these things to escape. Wu Chen shouted and flew up, using all his strength to hit the tunnel entrance with another palm. After landing, he applied two more palms to the collapsed areas on both sides, still muttering: "It's different." We have to take care of the angles!”
The front section of the tunnel collapsed, but after the masonry and earth fell, there was a gap between the areas that did not collapse. Wu Chen wanted to deal with it in sections, thinking that he He could keep up, but those things were faster than him. Before Wu Chen waved his palm to the next section, several small blue-black snakes sprang out from the gap. Wu Chen could even clearly see the words in their mouths. Venomous fangs!
Wu Chen didn't have time to think about how these things flew up. He just subconsciously waved his palm to intercept them. This force immediately collapsed a long section of the tunnel, and the few flying ones returned to the group and were smashed into the masonry. Down.
Wu Chen didn't dare to think about all the angles. He flew up and slapped the collapsed tunnel. The only thing in his mind was not to leave a big gap.
Soon the courtyard wall of the house next door collapsed, and Wu Chen realized that the door in the tunnel was under the ground of the house next door, and that there were people in that house who were respectfully arranged.
Wu Chen secretly cursed himself for not thinking well and shouted outside the collapsed courtyard wall: "All people outside this side courtyard wall should evacuate!"
The soldiers couldn't wait any longer. Gong gave the order and hurriedly retreated to the side.
This is the backyard of the uninhabited courtyard. There were two courtyard walls separated from Wu Chen. Now one of the walls has collapsed. Wu Chen waved his hands in the air, and the other one also collapsed. Wu Chen teleported to this courtyard. Checking the situation of the extension of the tunnel, it was found that a section had indeed collapsed. Wu Chen didn't have time to think too much, so he touched the collapsed part of the tunnel with a palm, and then kicked hard back to the original courtyard to see the situation before going back.
But before Wu Chen could make any other move, the collapsed tunnel suddenly straightened up its ‘backbone’. (End of this chapter)
