Chapter 428
Not long after, the group entered the cave one after another. Jiang Lai followed the team, carefully checking the surrounding environment step by step.
The entrance of the cave was pitch black and there was no sight of your fingers. However, the Wu family had prepared for a long time, and everyone was equipped with lighting equipment, and the strong light dispelled the gloom in the cave little by little.
A few minutes later, everyone finally entered a vast cave. The cave has a very large area and does not seem crowded even if it accommodates hundreds of people. However, what makes everyone feel a headache is that there are more than ten passages connected to the cave, and I don’t know which passage is correct.
Wu Qichong greeted everyone and asked everyone to rest on the spot. Then, the Wu family's children brought the equipment from outside. For this operation, the Wu family was very prepared and even carried the drone.
Under the control of professionals, the drone flew straight into the passage and investigated the situation ahead. Because the drone is equipped with a high-definition camera, it can clearly understand the environment inside so that no one can rest assured to turn on the mechanism.
"Master Wu, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?"
Hearing Zhao Yanqing's words, Wu Qichong asked in confusion: "Elder Zhao, what do you mean?"
"I guess your Wu family has already searched the place. Since that's the case, you should have found the right entrance long ago, so why waste time here?"
Wu Qichong was slightly stunned and then laughed, "So Elder Zhao means this. To be honest, although the Wu family has been here, the last time they came, they suffered heavy losses because they were not prepared enough. Therefore, we must be more careful this time and must not take action easily before the situation is discovered."
After a pause, he said, "Elder Zhao, don't worry, everyone is on the same boat now, I will never know and not report it, and put everyone in danger."
"Hope so!"
"Master Wu, you're a waste of time like this. In my opinion, we might as well act separately." Someone made a suggestion and received support from many people. Obviously, everyone present wanted to act alone. Only in this way can the benefits they get belong to themselves.
Wu Qichong frowned and said, "Everyone, don't forget what I told you before coming in. No one is allowed to act privately. If something happens, who will take the responsibility."
"Master Wu, I know you are kind-hearted, but we appreciate your kindness. Even if it is really dangerous, it is our own business and you don't need to worry about it."
"It's right. If there are any problems, we will solve them ourselves. We won't bother you Wu's family."
Seeing everyone talking in unison, Wu Qichong had a dark face and said nothing. After a moment of silence, he turned his eyes to the leaders of several Taoist forces, "What do you think, how do you think?"
Shang Jian said coldly: "Since they want to act alone, let them go. If they forcefully stay, it will not be good. Maybe we will ruin our affairs."
"Not bad!" Ma Yishen nodded, "I think so too."
"Okay." Wu Qichong pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and then gave Wu Ming a wink. The latter understood and waved to everyone.
"If you want to act alone, I won't stop you. However, for your safety, please listen to me carefully. Our Wu family will send everyone a set of equipment, which contains communication equipment and medical kits. Our Wu family will set up a temporary base here later. If you encounter any problems, you must notify us as soon as possible."
"Thank you!"
Although everyone was unwilling to obey the Wu family's instructions, the Wu family's approach was unanimously recognized by everyone and they felt a little more favorable.
Jiang saw it in his eyes, but he sneered in his heart. The Wu family really has a good way of doing things, and he never forgot to win over people's hearts at this time.
While thinking about it, many people had already sorted out their equipment and started heading into the passage. Since there were a large number of passages here, there were more than ten, so people chose to go to each passage. Not long after, most of the people present instantly decreased.
The careful Jiang Lai noticed that although the people from various Daomen sects were left in place, there were still people in the crowd. Moreover, these people did not follow the large army to explore alone in the passage.
It seems that several Taoist forces also know that it is difficult to gain something with the Wu family, so it is better to act alone.
"Brother Jiang, do you think we should go with the Wu family or act alone?"
Hearing Li Hongbei's inquiry, Jiang Lai pondered for a moment and was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away from the corner of his eyes. However, the figure stayed for a while and disappeared from his sight.
Seeing this, Jiang said, "I want to go there and see if you want to be together?" As he said that, he pointed to a passage not far away.
"Go there?" Guan Qingfei hesitated, "We are not familiar with the place, what if we encounter danger?"
Qiu Yannan laughed, "Old Guan, wealth and honor are in danger. Have you never heard of this? If you are worried about something, you might as well stay here. Let's take a look around and then come back to meet you."
"How can that be done? Since we came together, we naturally have to act together." Speaking of this, Guan Qingfei glanced at the Wu family members not far away, "I feel even more dangerous to stay here with us."
Jiang Lai found it funny and walked straight towards the passage.
Because there were already people setting out, lighting facilities were installed in the passage, and there were people exploring the way. None of the four people encountered anything along the way. After walking for a few minutes, they saw that more than a dozen people gathered in front of them, and they seemed to be blocked and had no way to go. Everyone was discussing countermeasures.
When he got closer, Jiang Lai looked at it a few times and found that it was a stone wall blocking everyone's way. This stone wall was very thick and should have been used by the builder to block the road. He walked forward and tapped it gently with his hands. The sound from inside was very dull. If you guessed correctly, the stone wall was at least twenty centimeters thick.
"It's just a stone wall, it's just a matter of destroying it directly." Qiu Yannan said casually.
Someone on the field recognized Qiu Yannan's identity and said, "Mr. Qiu, it's not that easy. We tried it just now, but we almost lost our lives. If you don't believe it, look at him."
Looking in the direction of his finger, Jiang Lai and the other four noticed that there was a wounded man lying in the corner beside him, his shoulders were pierced and blood kept flowing.
"What's going on?" Li Hongbei frowned slightly and asked.
