Chapter 247: Self-Help

Careless......

Looking at the blocked exit, Xu Zun secretly regretted that although he had been suspicious of Dongfang Enchanting before, he had not paid enough attention to it.

He just explored Dongfang Enchanting's life experience, and successively sent several medical officers to check on her injuries.

The medical officers unanimously proved that she did suffer serious internal injuries and was not pretending.

Moreover, before going down the tunnel, Xu Zun had also deliberately made arrangements, not only leaving Huo Anu and Hou Zhen, but also letting most of the people of the Divine Capture Division go down the tunnel.

But Rao is like this, but he is still plotted.

"Your Excellen......cy," Ani came up with an idea, "or else, let's find another exit?" I don't want to be stuck in a place like this! ”

"If it's easy to find," Xu Zun said in thought, "then there won't be any bones in the ditch below!"

"These culverts are buried deep underneath the Holy Capital, and after the years of the old calendar, there are naturally few exits left."

"That'...... So what to do? Ani worried, "Can we only wait here for help?" ”

"No," Xu Zun calculated, "This entrance is thirteen meters deep and a little more than one meter wide, and the volume of the cylinder is π× r2× h, so to block the entire entrance, it needs about ten cubic meters."

"According to the density of the soil, it must weigh at least 14 or 5 tons...... In other words......" Xu Zun snapped his fingers, "they can't block the entire entrance!"

"......" Ani was in a state of confusion, feeling that Xu Zun seemed to be reading a book from heaven.

"I remember that there wasn't that much soil on it," Xu Zun said, pointing to it, "I can only block it halfway up, and at most throw some rocks and so on."

"So...... We need to start saving ourselves! ”

"Self-help?" Ani didn't understand, "How can I save it?"

"Ani," Xu Zun said, "hurry up and inform everyone, come and transport the earth!"

"Huh?" Ani was surprised, "It's so cramped, and there's so much dirt, when will it have to be transported?" ”

"Don't waste time," Xu Zun said, "You are fast, hurry, all shout back, luck is a little, we have to race against time!" ”

"Good...... All right......" Ani said no more, and immediately went back with a torch to call for someone.

The burning pine resin drips, and the fire gradually dims.

In the narrow passage, only Xu Zun and Ku Niang remained.

The sculpture of the bitter girl generally does not move, but Xu Zun dislikes it for a while.

"Ku Niang......" Xu Zun asked, "I don't know, do you already know what Yue Jinglei wants to challenge you?"

"He asked you to meet at the gate of the Inner Guard Mansion in two days, and he wanted to try it with you.

"But don't worry," Xu Zun said, "I'll make arrangements when the time comes, if you don't want to show up, then I'll block it for you!"

Hearing Xu Zun's words, Ku Niang still didn't have any reaction.

"Thank you for always protecting me," Xu Zun said that he was moved, "Although I, Xu Zun, am not skilled in martial arts, I will never let you be harassed unnecessarily, even if the other party is one of the top ten masters of Daxuan!"

After saying that, Xu Zun unexpectedly took off his coat, then turned around and placed it on the ground, and began to fill the coat with soil......

When the earth was full, he carried his coat full of dirt in one hand and a torch in the other, and headed deeper into the tunnel.

Looking at Xu Zun's walking back, Ku Niang inadvertently trembled.

"Come on, Ku Niang," Xu Zun shouted, "Follow me to a spacious place first, although you are called Ku Niang, but you can't do these hard work......

……

Since Zhao Yu and the others had already gone deep into the ditch, it took nearly an hour before they found more than half of the people.

Moreover, Zhao Yu did not find it, and it is said that he and several catchers quickly drilled into a waterway to the west.

Xu Zun knew that Zhao Yu knew in his heart, and since he decided to go deeper, he had his own way to come back.

So, now there are as many people as there are, and everyone has taken off their coats, lined up in the narrow passages, and began to relay the earth.

The catchers of these Divine Catchers were all strong and powerful, and as they watched bags of clods of dirt being transported, everyone's morale gradually rose.

After all, no one wants to be trapped alive in this dark underground.

Xu Zun was busy for a while at first, but was later replaced, and at the moment he was sitting on the collapsed beams and pillars resting and pondering.

What he is most worried about at the moment is not only Huo Anu, but also his latest idea.

I don't know if my guess is correct, will it be ...... The catastrophe that Xuanmen really wants to launch is those pills!

He clearly remembered that the pill was colorless and odorless in the water, and it was not easy to find at all.

The Holy Capital Transit Envoy, Imperial Physician Xu Chi, would these two people cooperate with each other and transport these pills into the palace without realizing it?

When the Tribulation is launched, these pills will be lowered into drinking water or porridge and soup, and will be taken by the palace guards?

In that case, the palace will be in chaos, and at the same time, these assassins, who have been dormant underground, will infiltrate the palace through secret passages and plot against it?

If that's the case, then someone in the palace must answer it, right?

Therefore, Xu Zun now especially wants to know about the situation in the palace, but he is blocked underground.

And what's even worse is that since the Xuanmen does not hesitate to be exposed, they also want to block the entrance of the cave, does it mean that they will soon do it?

Because, they know that just plugging the hole will not solve themselves, so just to stall for time and make themselves unable to guess their true purpose?

If it started from the day of the assassination, today is exactly seven days later.

Could it be that the Tribulation is starting today?

The situation of transporting soil is not as simple as everyone thinks, and after an hour of transport, everyone is physically exhausted.

It's not that they don't have strength, but the underground passage is too narrow, and the torches are burning, causing everyone to have trouble breathing.

Everyone can only stop for a while and go to a spacious place to resume before they can continue the delivery.

It went back and forth, and I don't know how many hours later, as a bright light suddenly appeared overhead, everyone saw hope.

Even more exciting was the sound of calls coming from above the entrance, and it was clear that someone was digging up there.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency......" the people above called out loudly.

"It's here, it's ......," the people below responded excitedly.

Xu Zun rushed to hear the news, but saw that clods of soil kept falling from the blocked place, and a large stone was clearly blocked on it.

At this moment, the stone was already tied with ropes, and it seemed that the people above were about to move it away.

Finally, when the big rock was removed, a light finally appeared above.

"My lord, my lord......" At this moment, a woman's call came from above.

"Huh?" Xu Zun was immediately relieved, because he had already heard that it was Huo Anu's voice......

"Anu, Anu!" Xu Zun shouted excitedly, "I'm below, I'm down there!" ”

"My lord," Huo Anu shouted anxiously, "don't worry, it's about to be dug up!" ”

After seeing the light, the joy of the catchers below to see the light again was beyond words, and they immediately tried their last strength to continue to transport the soil out.

Finally, as a large area of earth fell, the blocked entrance finally opened, and ropes immediately hung from it......
