Lan Jingyi snorted in her nostrils, but did not dare to speak any more fiercely.
Yan Sen turned his gaze and fell on Bai Yong and Jin Guo: "Elder Bai, Elder Jin. Although Yang Huang's words are one-sided, we would rather believe them or not, otherwise Zhen Rang Wutian will penetrate deep into our interior.
I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it by then."
Although Yan Sen does not belong to any faction, he is upright by nature and his words still carry a certain weight.
At this moment, most of the elders' eyes couldn't help but fall on Bai Yong and Jin Guo.
"Elder Yan Sen is right. I think this matter must be paid attention to." Bai Yong said: "Let's do this, Elder Jin, you take half of the people to hold on here, and the others follow me inside to prevent any accidents.
"
Now that Bai Yong had spoken, Jin Guo couldn't say anything else and immediately agreed.
"Elder Shi, Yang Huang, you all come in with me." Bai Yong turned around and said to Yang Huang.
He quickly rushed inward along the gate of the earth. Not long after, Bai Yong led nine elders and more than 300 disciples back to the stone wall where the gate of the earth was opened.
Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet and there was nothing unusual. It seemed that Wutianhui had not yet opened the tunnel and broke through.
But Yang Huang's heart became heavier and heavier. He knew that this calm was just the calm before the storm.
Wu Tianhui had worked hard on that tunnel for so long, but Yang Huang accidentally discovered its existence. There was only one way to bring out the value of the tunnel, and that was to immediately advance the attack deadline and win the battle quickly.
Wutianhui sent some weak soldiers to feign an attack in the open, which indirectly proved that they must have gathered strong soldiers secretly in order to catch Tianwumen by surprise.
Yang Huang believed that his judgment would not be wrong.
"This place is so big. Wutianhui really wants to dig a tunnel to get in. How do we know where the tunnel opening is?" An elder said almost desperately, looking at the vast and continuous stone walls.
Bai Yong turned his gaze to Yang Huang: "Yang Huang, didn't you say you know the approximate direction?"
Yang Huang nodded, pointed to the right side of the underground gate and said: "The entrance to their tunnel must be on that side, so we will focus on investigating that side."
When tracking the tunnel outside, Yang Huang was able to determine that it eventually wound towards the left side of the mountain wall on the high platform of Dimen.
Once inside the underground gate, the opening of the tunnel should be on the mountain wall on the right side of it.
Bai Yong and others were all confused at this moment. After hearing what Yang Huang said, they could only walk to the right side of the underground gate together.
"Where the tunnel is dug, if you knock on the mountain wall, there will definitely be a hollow sound inside. Everyone spread out, knock along the mountain wall, and listen carefully to the sound." Bai Yong ordered loudly.
"yes!"
More than three hundred people responded and quickly spread out along the long mountain wall. They each used their palms to hit the mountain wall in front of them.
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
The dull banging sounds came one after another, converging into a loud sound that made people's hearts sway.
The originally silent underground world suddenly became lively because of these sounds.
But after a while, the sounds coming from the mountain wall were all real, and there was no discovery at all.
"Are you sure this is the direction?" Bai Yong frowned and looked back at Yang Huang and asked.
Yang Huang nodded subconsciously.
"Even if your direction is correct... it's too difficult to find the possible exit of the tunnel from such a huge mountain wall... It's like finding a needle in a haystack!" Bai Yong frowned even more.
What he said is correct. The mountain wall is so wide. Even the person who dug the tunnel cannot be sure where the opening of the tunnel will be. It may be opened in the upper part of the cave wall, or it may be opened in the middle or lower part...
There are infinite possibilities as to where the tunnel's opening will extend. However, Tianwu Sect's manpower is very limited.
The probability of cracking this infinite possibility with limited people is too low.
Yang Huang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Elder Bai, I don't think we need to look for him anymore."
"Huh? You mean..." Bai Yong was stunned for a moment and then understood.
Yang Huang nodded: "If we hit the mountain wall like this, it will be difficult to find a tunnel without talking, and it will also be easy to scare the snake. It is better to stop, calm down and wait for the rabbit!"
Bai Yong nodded and immediately ordered everyone to move back and form a long line.
"From now on, no one should speak, just prick up your ears and listen to what's going on in the mountain wall!"
More than three hundred people were lined up along the mountain wall, like a long snake. Everyone had solemn expressions, their mouths were closed and their ears were erect, listening to the movement on the mountain wall.
The vast underground world fell into deathly silence again.
Time is passing by in this silence, and it seems to be getting faster and faster.
The quiet environment made Yang Huang's mind clearer and his ears and eyes clearer.
"Crack! Crack!"
At this moment, a subtle sound suddenly penetrated into the eardrum.
"Huh?" Yang Huang looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that the sound was not made by someone at the scene, he began to patrol the mountain wall, trying to find the source of the sound.
The sound became louder and louder, and soon Bai Yong and other elders also heard it. Everyone looked solemn and looked at each other on the mountain wall.
But Yang Huang's heart suddenly moved, and then he made an action that many people did not expect! He suddenly lay down and put his ears to the ground under his feet.
"Crack! Crack!"
The sound that got louder and louder came from the ground beneath my feet.
"What a danger!" Yang Huang couldn't help but scream in his heart. For a long time, everyone including Yang Huang had been limited in their thinking, thinking that Wutian would dig a tunnel from the outside, and the opening would definitely be in
On the mountain wall of this underground world.
Who would have thought that the tunnel Wutianhui dug was deep enough to avoid the mountain wall and go around everyone's feet.
If Yang Huang hadn't suggested waiting for their arrival, the sound of violent collisions against the mountain wall would have been enough to drown out the sound of digging holes underground.
Seeing Yang Huang's actions, Elder Bai and others quickly guessed what was going on, and they immediately slowly moved closer.
"Be silent!" Yang Huang motioned to everyone not to move. He was still lying on the ground, catching every movement inside.
Soon, he locked the direction of the sound source, which was underground about five feet away from him. The "chacha" sound should be the sound made by waving a hoe, shovel, etc. when digging underground.
Yang Huang pointed to the direction of the sound towards Elder Bai and others, and tiptoed there first.
Elder Bai understood and immediately waved for everyone to follow Yang Huang.
Soon, more than 300 people formed a large encirclement outside the tunnel. Everyone was on full alert, and their hands were tightly holding weapons and various hidden weapons.
