What they least want now is any unexpected twists and turns.

Therefore, we must find the entrance as soon as possible to catch the Murong family off guard.

But Gu Jinhe felt that things were definitely not as simple as they thought.

If it were her, she would definitely take control of the mountain and arrange people to follow anyone who entered.

Even though this mountain is too large to be managed, we only need to take care of the woods to the southeast.

But they found this place so smoothly along the way. If the Murong family hadn't deliberately let them go, it would have been a miracle.

Gu Jinrong also guessed the key, so maybe when they went up the mountain, they had already been noticed by the Murong family.

But why they were allowed to go up the mountain and find this place is unknown.

Gu Jinhe said, "The stone gate below is for people like us. We can't get in whether it's blown up or not."

The Murong family really has a good plan.

Even if they found this place and the entrance, what could they do? They could only sit here and do nothing.

A stone gate stopped them.

Is there no other way?

He Yan, who was sitting on the other side, threw away the dead leaves in his hand somewhat dejectedly, and watched as waves of people who had expanded the search came back, but without exception, they found nothing.

He Yan turned to look at Qi Hui, frowned and said, "Are we just going to wait here?"

Qi Hui said in a deep voice: "If we can't find the entrance, what else can we do?"

He Yan looked at the dark hole on the ground and said, "Isn't that the entrance?"

Qi Hui glanced at him and asked, "Can you come in?"

He Yan was suddenly speechless. If he could have gone in, he would have been the first to go in. How could he just sit here in such a humiliating manner?

The explosives couldn't be used to break the stone door, and other places were searched, but the second entrance was still not found.

He Yan almost suspected that Gu Jinhe had said this on purpose. The entrance had clearly been found, but he insisted that it could not be blown up, otherwise it would collapse. He didn't know where the basis for this statement came from, but Qi Hui listened to Gu Jinhe and chose not to blow it up.

This left He Yan completely puzzled. He had only known Gu Jinhe for less than two days, and he believed her words so much?

But the commander this time was Qi Hui, so even if He Yan had doubts, there was nothing he could do.

All I can do is sit here and wait with the crowd.

Time passed by minute by minute, and during this period Qi Hui's people came back three or four times, but without exception, none of them found any useful clues.

As the light above their heads grew dimmer and dimmer, the day was about to end, and there was more and more worry on everyone's brows.

But Wu Lu seemed to have nothing to do and started arranging people to prepare dinner.

Looking at the busy preparation of meals over there, the people on Qi Hui's side were more or less a little uncomfortable.

He is worthy of being the patriarch of a noble family. Not only is he surrounded by bodyguards, but his food and accommodation must be the best among them.

Even the only girl here, Gu Jinhe, has never been as pretentious as Wu Lu.

Yes, it's just pretentious.

They considered Wu Lu's insistence on having hot meals for every meal to be pretentious.

Because of Wu Lu's identity, people couldn't help but have other thoughts about some of his actions.

For example, his picky eating habits are totally out of place here, as if he is a rich young man who comes here for a picnic and does whatever he wants, not caring at all whether he finds the second entrance or not.

So during this period, Wu Lu was looked down upon by many people, especially He Yan.

Doesn’t Wu Lu know what other people are thinking?

Of course not, but if someone asks, he will say, since we are waiting anyway, why can't we eat better?

Why do you have to live like an ascetic?

What benefits can you get?

Why do you have to be so hard on your stomach?

Unfortunately, no one asked him.

The sky gradually darkened, the fragrance in the air became stronger, but everyone's expressions became more and more solemn.

I'm afraid they will have to stay here overnight.

And we are still uncertain about what will happen tomorrow. If we can’t find the entrance tomorrow, we will have to think of other ways.

This time the operation must destroy the arms and explosives factory. Otherwise, once the Murong family has the opportunity to relocate, it will be even more difficult to find their hiding place.

The seven great families have been investigating for decades but have not found any information. Now that they have finally found a clue, how can they just give up?

But the people who were eating dinner in the setting sun fell into deep thought again. No one wanted to give up, but the Murong family was too cunning. Their people searched for most of the day but couldn't find any other entrance.

The land has been turned over enough to grow vegetables, but the entrance has still not been found.

But this matter cannot be rushed, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Seeing that darkness was about to fall, Gu Jinhe looked at Qi Hui. Noticing her gaze, Qi Hui looked over here.

Gu Jinhe said, "Let the people down there come up. There's no need to watch them. We're all up there. There's no need to keep anyone here."

What's more, the air down there is not circulating, so it's easy to suffer from oxygen deprivation after staying there for a long time.

After hearing this, Qi Hui thought about it and then asked someone to go down and call people up. He thought that what Gu Jinhe said was right. They were all upstairs, so why should they leave someone to guard downstairs.

If the stone door below opens, won’t the people inside come up?

They surrounded the cave, and as soon as someone came out, they would find it immediately.

So it makes no difference to call up the five people below.

After the five people came up, their pale faces could be seen through the dim sky.

It's obviously caused by lack of oxygen.

Fortunately, the people were allowed to come up, otherwise if they had stayed down there all night, we wouldn’t know whether they would be able to stand up tomorrow.

Gu Jinhe whispered to Gu Jinrong, "There are no sounds of insects or birds within a few miles of here. It should be the chemicals underground that have caused the insects and birds to avoid it."

Only living things can run, but the trees rooted here cannot escape. So although the trees here look tall, they don’t have many leaves, and most of them have fallen to the ground.

Gu Jinrong looked up at the towering trees that blocked out the sun. He had been sitting here for quite some time, and there was not even the sound of an insect chirping in his ears.

This means that something like explosives are indeed being produced underground.

As the sky darkened, everyone tacitly agreed not to turn on their flashlights, as lighting a fire was the most taboo thing in this forest.

So everyone just sat there under the tree trunk, listening to everything that was happening around them.

Qi Hui and the people who went out to look for the entrance have also returned. It is best not to use lights in this deep mountain, otherwise if a fire breaks out, there will be no way to escape.

It is also best not to use a light. Turning on a light in the dark will give the enemy a chance to attack you.
