Huo Junyu shook his head, coughing, and ran to Huo Junyan and Huo Jingyi.

Seeing that the two were seriously injured, he quickly took out the pills that Shen Qinglan had prescribed for them from his arms and stuffed them into their mouths.

"Brother, sister, are you okay?"

After Huo Junyan and Huo Jingyi swallowed the pills, their expressions really eased. Huo Jingyi cried and hugged Huo Junyu, choking with sobs:

"Second brother, you scared Yi'er to death!"

Huo Junyan also looked at Huo Junyu with disapproval and said: "You are too impulsive. It's also your luck, otherwise..."

Huo Junyu scratched his head with a silly smile, then looked at the man and said:

"Brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Jiang Yong."

"Jiang Yong? What a good name." Huo Junyu praised.

Huo Junyan glared at Huo Junyu, then stood up by the stone wall beside him, and said with a pale face:

"We don't have much time left, Brother Jiang Yong, do you know where they buried the explosives?"

"Explosives?"

Jiang Yong widened his eyes in surprise, obviously confused.

Huo Junyan did not hide anything and directly told Jiang Yong and others that there was explosives here and they were about to be ignited.

Although Jiang Yong didn't know what explosives were, he couldn't help but shudder when he heard Huo Junyan describe the consequences.

"Young Master, I really don't know what the explosives you are talking about are. They asked us to come here just to dig this hole, but..."

Jiang Yong shook his head and explained, then paused and said hesitantly:

"But I did happen to see them digging something out of the rock wall before, and then filling it back up. I wonder if it's what you're looking for."

Huo Junyan heard this, estimated the time, glanced at the trapped miners, and calmly said:

"Time is urgent now. We have been delayed for so long. They may ignite the explosives at any time. For the safety of everyone, Jiang Yong, you should take these miners out now and ignite the flare. Someone will come to rescue us."

As Huo Junyan spoke, he looked at the stone wall beside him and continued:

"The three of us will stay here. It would be best if we can find the lead as soon as possible."

Huo Junyan's words frightened the trapped miners. Before Jiang Yong could answer, the miners quickly spoke up:

"Can we escape now if we go out?"

"Yes, there are so many experts outside, and they have knives. We are afraid, afraid..."

Although everyone knew that escaping now was the best option, they still had some reservations in their hearts.

Huo Junyan raised his eyes and looked at everyone, and said seriously:

"If you stay, you will die. But if you take the initiative to attack, you may still have a chance of survival. Also, as long as you send out a signal as soon as you go out, someone will come to support you soon."

Huo Junyu on the side also quickly spoke up and echoed:

"My eldest brother is right. Don't worry! My father is patrolling nearby. As long as he sees the signal, he will definitely provide quick support."

"Yeah, yeah, our daddy is the God of War!" Huo Jingyi nodded heavily, then spoke with a proud look on her face.

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised. They looked at each other, and then looked at Jiang Yong undecidedly.

It is obvious that Jiang Yong is the leader of this group of people.

Jiang Yong pondered for a while and said directly:

"You young masters are right. Instead of sitting there and waiting to die, we should take the initiative. Everyone! Grab your weapons and charge!"

As Jiang Yong was speaking, he led the miners to the side, picked up the pickaxes and hoes that they had left there when they were working, and went out.

Before leaving, Jiang Yong turned his head and looked at Huo Junyan and the others, his eyes full of sincerity as he said, "Young masters, you must stay alive!"

After Jiang Yong and the others left, Huo Junyu looked at Huo Junyan and asked with a sigh:

"Brother, they are going..."

I’m afraid not many people will survive this trip.

Although there were flares, it would still take time for Huo Zhanting and his men to arrive. During this time, how could a group of ordinary people be a match for well-trained soldiers?

Huo Junyan glanced at Huo Junyu, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Choose the lesser of two evils. Some decisions have to be made by someone. Okay, quickly find the fuse."

What they have to do is to find the place where the fuse is hidden as soon as possible and intercept it.

Otherwise, all their efforts would be wasted.

Huo Junyu nodded quickly and began to search along the stone wall obediently.

Outside, Jiang Yong and others had already rushed out with a group of people, not giving the other side any chance to prepare, and directly knocked down several guards.

Jiang Yong took advantage of this opportunity to release the flare given by Huo Junyan.

After releasing the flare, Jiang Yong quickly shouted to his companions around him:

"Retreat first!"

Everyone listened to Jiang Yong's words and went back into the cave without hesitation.

The guards never expected that these miners would be out of control and dare to attack them!

By the time they reacted, the other party had already retreated, making the guards very angry.

They chased for a while, leaving behind a few heads, but did not go any further, because their leader had already given the order:

"The fuse is lit, no need to pursue."

Then everyone retreated out of the cave.

These people are going to be killed in the explosion anyway, so they should not follow them in and seek death.

But these guards also underestimated the miners.

When the miners saw that the guards had stopped chasing them, they rushed out again in a mighty force.

For a while, the two sides actually engaged in a guerrilla war. The enemy retreated and I advanced, the enemy advanced and I retreated. It seemed that there was a back and forth movement. Therefore, the number of casualties on the miners' side was still controllable.

Inside the cave, Huo Junyan and others were chiseling around on the stone wall when they heard Huo Jingyi shouting:

"Brother, second brother, come and listen, there is movement here."

Upon hearing this, Huo Junyan and Huo Junyu quickly surrounded them and put their ears to the stone wall.

Sure enough, they heard a faint sound, obviously the sound of something burning!

Several people were surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that the other party had already lit the fire line, but what was happy was that the fire line was finally found!

"Quick! Dig it up!"

Huo Junyan hurriedly urged them to start digging.

Huo Junyu was very strong, and the hole was originally filled back to hide the fuse, so it was not difficult to chisel away. It only took him three or two strokes to chisel away the sand outside.

Suddenly, several boxes of explosives appeared in front of them, and the fuse was rapidly approaching the direction of the explosives.

"Destroy it quickly!"

Huo Junyan exclaimed, and hurried forward to step on the fire, but not only could he not extinguish it, the fire was still burning rapidly forward.

"What should I do? Why can't I put it out?" Huo Jingyi's eyes turned red with anxiety.

"I'll come, I'll come! Let me come!"

Huo Junyu seemed to have come up with an idea. He pushed the two of them away and said to Huo Junyan in high spirits, "Brother, quickly cover my eyes."

"Why do you have to cover Yier's eyes? Is there anything that Yier can't see?" Huo Jingyi retorted angrily.

However, Huo Junyan readily reached out and covered Huo Jingyi's eyes, with a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.
