Chapter 343 Prepare! (one more)
Wu Chen stood still, looking at the entangled snakes, the chrysalis moved closer to the yellow powder.

"What's that sound?"

Song Gu suddenly made a sound, and was right behind Wu Chen, which made Wu Chen break out in a cold sweat.

Wu Chen was staring too intently at the front before, and there was no light to appear. Knowing that the people above were all his own people, Wu Chen was completely at ease about what was behind him.

When Song Gu came down, he didn't take a torch, and when he went down the steps, he walked slowly step by step. After the steps were finished, he couldn't see anything because it was too dark, so Song Gu had to hold his breath and concentrate on moving forward. Let's go, if it was normal, Wu Chen would definitely hear it, but the pile of snakes in front of him was too scary, he could only keep cheering himself up, for fear that he would not control himself and pop out of the tunnel like Xing Yun.

When Song Gu came down, he regretted not bringing a torch with him. He even hesitated whether to go up to get it. Thinking that Wu Chen was down there alone, he didn't feel at ease. He thought he would see Wu Chen when he got down, but it took him a long time to see Wu Chen.

Song Gu thought that Wu Chen would know that he was behind him, but it happened that there was a crashing sound at this moment, so he asked in panic.

Wu Chen quickly adjusted his heartbeat, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Let's retreat first, slowly."

……

When the two of them got to the ground, the yamen servant brought by Shang Gong had already illuminated the courtyard like daylight.

Wu Chen hurriedly walked up to Shang Gong, and said, "Are the archers in place? It's not enough to just guard this courtyard, and the perimeter needs to be bigger, and people should be sent to keep an eye on the outside. 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 need to make sure that all the underground things come out from here. This medicine is definitely better than the previous one. You have to take care of it. When they find the entrance, you can sprinkle some Go in, don't go down, wait for me! Song Tixing!"

Song Gu hurriedly responded.

"You take the second brother to Liu's residence, and you must find the entrance as soon as possible. There is no turning in the tunnel. With this general direction, you can quickly determine the location. After finding the entrance, Xing Yun will sprinkle the medicine, and then wait for me to go there!"

Several people left in a hurry.

After Wu Chen finished making arrangements, he looked around again, frowned and said, "No, once I exert my strength in a while, the rocks and soil will definitely fly up. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this place and the yard next to it, and I can't treat people!"

Shang Gong hurriedly said: "If you move further out, there will be no light here."

"It's too late, let's evacuate to the front yard first, it's really not possible, there's a lot of withered grass here, just order it! You have someone prepare water... If you don't have enough manpower, hurry up and evacuate!"

Wu Chen didn't hear anything, but felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly, the impact sound in the tunnel was like an urging order, and those small snakes that could come out of the door were rushing forward in piles, it should be Make room for the big guy behind, but because Wu Chen sprinkled the powder, the little snake didn't dare to cross it, so it blocked there, and the big guy inside couldn't come out for a long time, so he slammed his tail at 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. have what?If this is feasible, why not do it earlier?These snakes can't go back when they come out, and they will naturally turn the capital upside down, but what does this have to do with them?
Wu Chen's mind was in a mess. He watched Shang Gong lead the people out of the courtyard, and his eyes suddenly became dark. He took a deep breath, and heard Shang Gong commanding the soldiers in the outer courtyard to hold up torches, and the archers took the ladder to the courtyard. Walls, water tanks filled with water, and even ordered to cut down trees, just to have a wider view.

Snakes can climb trees and houses, that’s all Shang Gong can think of in a short period of time. It’s too late to tear down the house and the courtyard walls. What he said to Wu Chen that he can destroy the courtyard actually has no concept , and he didn’t have time to ask, his imagination couldn’t reach the scene he was about to face, so he could only do what Wu Chen said.

Wu Chen took a few deep breaths. He calmed himself down. A question flashed into his mind, and he quickly asked loudly, "Shang Fu Yin, have all the surrounding residents evacuated?"

Shang Gong was startled when he heard the voice, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up his front and ran to the back yard, stood at the gate of the yard panting and replied: "They all moved away."

"You don't have to come here, just stand where you are and talk, I can hear you, if I ask something later, you must not come here again, remember I can hear you! Let's go."

Shang Gong didn't ask why, he turned around and ran away with his lapel in his hand.

When Wu Chen walked to the tunnel entrance, he could already see the little snake crawling to the steps below. Wu Chen immediately swung his palm, and the tunnel tunnel caved in instantly. Wu Chen didn't dare to waste time. The cracks in the bricks and stones are filled with these things to escape Wu Chen yelled and flew up, and gave another slap with all his strength towards the tunnel entrance. After landing, he slapped two more slaps at the collapsed places on both sides, still muttering: "We have to take care of different angles." !"

The front section of the tunnel collapsed, but after the masonry and earth clods fell, there was a gap with the non-collapsed area. Wu Chen thought of dealing with it in sections, thinking that he could keep up with the speed, but those things were faster than him. Before Wu Chen waved his palm to the next section, a few blue and black snakes sprang out from the gap, and Wu Chen could even clearly see the fangs in their mouths!

Wu Chen didn't have the time to figure out how these things flew up. He just subconsciously waved his palms to intercept them. This kind of force immediately collapsed a long section of the tunnel, and the few that flew out also returned to the group and were smashed on the masonry. Down.

Wu Chen didn't dare to think about various angles. He flew up and patted the collapsed tunnel. Right now, he only wanted to leave no big gaps in his mind.

Soon the courtyard wall next to the house next to it collapsed, and Wu Chen realized that the door in the tunnel was located on the ground floor of the house next door, and there were still people arranged by Shang Gong in that house.

Wu Chen secretly scolded himself for not thinking carefully, and shouted outside the collapsed courtyard wall: "Everyone outside the courtyard wall on this side evacuates!"

The soldiers couldn't wait for Shang Gong's order, and retreated hastily.

This is the backyard of the uninhabited courtyard. There were two courtyard walls separated from Wu Chen, but now one has collapsed. Wu Chen waved his palm in the air, and the other one also collapsed. Wu Chen instantly moved to this courtyard, Checking the condition of the extended tunnel, there was indeed a section that had collapsed. Wu Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he slapped his hand on the collapsed part of the tunnel, and then kicked back to the original courtyard to check the situation before going back.

But before Wu Chen could do anything else, the collapsed tunnel suddenly erected its 'backbone'.
