Just when Tan Liu was counting the number of people on the list given to him by Yu Qianhe.
Boss Xu and the other six were in the tunnel, carefully moving forward to search for Gu Yuan's whereabouts.
When they came to a fork in the road, they instinctively explored both sides.
There was no one on both sides. Hong Laosi, who was walking at the front, felt relieved and walked forward.
Ge Laoer followed closely behind.
Behind them were Lao Wu and Lao Liu, with Mr. Xu walking at the back.
According to common sense, forked roads are convenient for ambushes and are the most dangerous places in tunnels.
Hong Laosi and Ge Laoer passed the fork in the road safely, and the people behind them relaxed their vigilance.
At this time, Gu Yuan was pressing his entire body against the stone roof of the tunnel.
Ordinarily, the top of the tunnel carved out of the rock would be slippery, making it difficult for Gu Yuan to stick to it.
But there is a fork in the road here. The people who built the tunnel used tiger skin hardwood to build a support frame here and made a simple support.
At the same time, a shallow depression was left here.
In the dark, no one expected that Gu Yuan would cling to the depression next to the hardwood, hooking the hardwood onto it.
Thanks to the tunnel being as tall as a person, these people only focused on looking at the forks in the road, so Gu Yuan was not discovered by them.
Gu Yuan let go of Hong Laosi and Ge Laoer who were at the front.
When Lao Wu passed by, he suddenly turned down, raised the dagger in his hand and wiped Lao Wu's neck.
When Lao Wu's warm blood sprayed on Lao Liu's face, Lao Liu, who was holding the dagger in his hand, let out a strange scream and struck Gu Yuan with the sword.
Gu Yuan turned sideways to avoid it, and the sword passed close to Gu Yuan's hair.
Gu Yuan grabbed Lao Liu's right hand holding the sword with one hand and pulled Lao Liu so hard that he stumbled, and with the other hand, he crushed Lao Liu's throat bone.
"Lao Wu, Lao Liu!"
Ge Laoer turned around and saw that the two brothers were dead. He raised his hand and struck with the Fire Palm.
Gu Yuan showed off his "Fire Flame Bodyguard" in an instant and clung to the top of the stone wall, unscathed.
The flaming amulet illuminated the tunnel.
Ge Laoer struck out with all his strength with his Fire Palm, hitting Boss Xu directly.
Boss Xu was seriously injured by this blow and fell backwards on the stone steps.
The power of the Running Fire Palm continued unabated, and it hit the tunnel entrance all the way.
This tunnel, which has been in disrepair for a long time, cannot withstand the blow of the running fire palm.
The tiger-skin hardwood used for supporting and fixing near the tunnel entrance collapsed and burst into flames.
Most of the tunnel entrance collapsed and was almost sealed.
Hong Laosi was anxious and shouted loudly: "Second brother, you can't use magic here. If this tunnel collapses, all our brothers will be buried here!"
Ge Laoer said angrily, "I didn't expect that this place..."
Before Ge Laoer could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Hong Laosi was shocked and actually used the Fire Rush Palm with his backhand.
Then, without looking back, he fled along one of the forks in the road.
Boss Xu’s horrified voice came from the tunnel, “Brothers outside, come in and save me!
"Whoever comes to save me, I will give him a..."
"ah……"
Before he finished his sentence, Boss Xu's miserable voice came from the tunnel again.
Then, no more sound came from the tunnel.
"Boss Xu?
Boss Xu?”
"Boss Xu, how are you?"
Boss Tong shouted several times outside the entrance of the mostly collapsed tunnel, but Boss Xu did not respond.
He deliberately looked in along the entrance of the mostly collapsed tunnel, but he was afraid that Gu Yuan would shoot out a hidden weapon, so he didn't dare to go through.
Just when he was hesitating.
Pei Buwen, the eldest son of the Pei family, said worriedly, "Boss Xu is probably gone."
Boss Tong didn't care about the face of the Pei brothers, so he asked directly.
"Boss Xu, who came in after you, is gone, but you are still here making sarcastic remarks. What do you mean?"
"You five brothers of the Pei family have really made a good calculation!"
Pei Buwen was stunned and quickly said: "How could I say something sarcastic?
What I mean is that this tunnel is extremely dangerous."
Boss Tong raised his voice and said, "The master has already paid us five times the settlement allowance, and we will still receive half of the reward after the project is completed!"
"Youdao is about finding wealth through danger. This is what we do in this life-saving business."
"To tell you the truth, this tunnel is extremely dangerous, so why don't you five brothers from the Pei family go in?"
Pei Buwen was not as sharp-tongued as Boss Tong. Being forced by Boss Tong, sweat started to fall on his forehead.
"That was not what I meant!"
Boss Tong raised his voice again and asked: "Then what do you mean?"
"You five brothers are all stalkers. You are not good at charging into battle, and you are not exploring paths. What use does that team have for you?
Are you going to share the money freely?"
After finishing speaking, Boss Tong felt that he had said too much.
He is not an organizer, and by saying this, he is questioning the organizer's intentions.
He was afraid that Yu Qianhe would blame him, so he quickly added another sentence.
"Boss Yu of Thousand-Hand Feihe has already told you to go explore the road first. Don't you think you will listen to Boss Yu's orders?"
Boss Tong said these words so accurately that the five brothers of the Pei family looked ashamed and angry, speechless!
If the five brothers of the Pei family can't make it, then the boss, Tong, will have to bring his brothers to take the place!
Boss Tong is a good talker, but he doesn't want to take the risk. He must put the label of being afraid of the enemy on the heads of the five brothers of the Pei family!
If you want to go up, you have to let the five brothers of the Pei family take the lead!
The other brothers were listening outside the blacksmith.
Being ridiculed by Boss Tong, the five Pei brothers had no choice but to go into the tunnel to explore the way.
Most of the tunnel entrance has been blocked by rubble, leaving only a foot-long opening.
Not even an adult, let alone an adult, can enter this hole.
In order to let the five brothers of the Pei family go in quickly, Boss Tong is leading the four heroes of Tongjiazhai to clean the entrance of the cave.
Before they could finish cleaning up, Pei Buwen, the boss of the Pei family, dwarfed and slid directly into the hole.
The five Pei brothers filed in silently one after another.
Tong Laosan was stunned and said: "This stealth technique is really amazing. How did they slip into such a small hole?"
The fifth child of the Pei family, who was walking at the end, spat at Tong Laosan, "Bah! You don't deserve to know what grandpas do!"
After saying that, the fifth child of the Pei family slid into the hole.
Tong Laosan was furious, but Pei Laowu had already gone in. His big body was blocked from the entrance of the cave, so it was useless to be angry anymore.
"Get out of here, you three-inch penis, and watch your grandpa if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
Boss Tong scolded: "Third brother, don't act out of emotion, put the overall situation first!"
Tong Laosan was dissatisfied and raised his hand to crush a piece of gravel into powder to vent his dissatisfaction.
Boss Tong said in a low voice: "Third brother, don't be impulsive, Yu Qianhe is still watching from outside!"
At this time, it was also very lively outside the blacksmith shop.
After Tan Liuzhi took the list and compared it, he said: "Brother, I checked three times carefully, and there are six people missing in total!"
