There is a trick

Chapter 100 Pathfinder (4K, 2/2)

"Then who will explore this gray fog?" someone asked.

The problem returns to the starting point again.

Wang Tiexiong frowned, a light flickered in his eyes, he took a long breath, and was about to speak.

The tall and thin man next to him said directly: "Pothead, I will go on behalf of our caravan. The sixth and seventh brothers died in the gray fog, and the fourth brother became a cripple. I am the only one who is still alive and well.

I want to go in and take a closer look, and do something for my brothers."

This tall and thin man was the man in the straw raincoat who fled back to the charity cemetery carrying his companion whose hands and feet were bitten off by the ghost.

He was the fifth in Wang Tiexiong's caravan and his name was Qian Zhou.

Wang Tiexiong turned his head and looked at Qian Zhou steadily. He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, you go!"

Among the crowd, only Qian Zhou had the experience of stepping into the gray fog and returning alive.

He is indeed suitable to take the lead.

This was not the time to be shy. Since Qian Zhou had taken the initiative to make such a request, Wang Tiexiong agreed: "If you die in there, your parents, wife and children will be taken care of by the caravan.

Lao Wu, we brothers always keep our promises. "

Qian Zhou hummed and looked at the others: "We have already sent people from our caravan, what about you?"

"I'll go too, on behalf of our corpse-driving team!" Mao Qi raised his hand with a smile.

Afterwards, two more people were pushed out by their respective leaders and took the lead.

Everyone looked vaguely at Zhou Chang, Zhou Sanji and their group.

Zhou Chang and his group joined the Tiekan Inner Society and enjoyed the conveniences and care provided by the Tiekan Society, so they should naturally assume corresponding responsibilities.

At present, all forces have sent people to take the lead in exploring the gray fog that blocks the road leading out of Qingyi Town. Naturally, Zhou Chang's side also needs someone to stand up and take responsibility.

Yang Rui scratched his scalp and turned to look at Shi Danzi: "Shi Danzi, you go?"

Shi Danzi was so frightened when he heard that that he almost burst into tears: "Master, I can't do this!"

"You are useless here anyway. If you go there and make some achievements by chance, you can live a peaceful life and wait for death. If you die in the gray fog, everyone will remember your kindness for the rest of your life.

Shidanzi, there is no one more suitable than you." Yang Rui grinned.

After these words, Shidanzi's tears began to fall.

"Snapped!"

Yang Rui reached out and slapped him to interrupt his crying, then turned to look at Zhou Sanji and Zhou Chang, the two grandfather and grandson.

"I go."

At this time, before Yang Rui was about to speak, Zhou Chang suddenly spoke.

Yang Rui looked at him in surprise: "I'll go, it's not a big deal..."

"I'll go." Zhou Chang repeated his words, "No one is more suitable than me to explore ahead. I have a way to lead everyone deep into the gray fog. Even if people die in the fog, they will definitely bring back all kinds of discoveries and intelligence in the fog."

——Moreover, among the Zhou family members, he is the only one who has the most means to deal with evil creatures and demons.

Even if Yang Rui obtained the "Immortal Book" and cultivated a level of "Immortal Body", he would still not be as good as him.

Only Zhou Chang was relatively safe when he stepped into the gray fog.

Of course, the other one is Bai Xiu'e.

However, Zhou Chang had other arrangements for Bai Xiu'e at the moment.

Yang Rui said nothing more and turned to look at Zhou Sanji.

Zhou Sanji looked at Zhou Chang, shook his head and sighed, then said to Yang Rui: "Let him go..."

"Yeah." Yang Rui nodded and smiled, "It's not a time of life and death, there's no need to be so sad. You'll all come back jumping and skipping in a while, so wouldn't it be a waste of such a sad atmosphere now?"

After hearing his words, only Wang Tiexiong, Zhou Chang and Mao Qi smiled in agreement.

The others all had gloomy faces and kept silent.

"Brother Zhou, what method are you talking about?" Mao Qi asked Zhou Chang.

At this time, Zhou Chang stretched out his hand and opened his five fingers. Strands of thoughts as black as iron wires flowed out from his fingertips. Following his wishes, those thoughts twisted into a black rope.

He showed the rope to everyone: "This is a kind of silk thread cultivated by the method passed down in my family. This kind of silk thread is created by the thought, and it cannot be cut by a knife, nor can it be damaged by water or fire. You can check it out."

As soon as Zhou Chang finished speaking, someone took a knife to cut the iron wires that were twisted into a rope. Soon he found that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't cut it.

"I plan to use this rope to tie up Mao Qi, Qian Zhou and other brothers who want to explore the gray fog with me. We will move forward slowly, one person every three steps, to explore the gray fog.

Once there is an abnormal situation, the person at the front will immediately inform the people behind him, and the message will be passed on layer by layer until it is finally passed on.

At the same time, we can also pull the rope to pull the brothers who are in danger back as soon as possible and save them from danger.

What do you think? "

Zhou Chang explained his method.

Moltke and Qian Zhou both nodded in agreement.

The other two 'pathfinders' who were pushed out by their respective leaders were still hesitant.

One of them questioned, "Then, won't you always be at the end? After all, you need to pull the rope from behind. We are not familiar with you. If we were in danger together with Moltke, you might pull Moltke back first, leaving us to die in the gray fog..."

It’s not that we don’t trust you, it’s just that it concerns personal life, so it’s better to be more considerate of it.

First the villain, then the gentleman..."

The two men's concerns do have some truth.

Zhou Chang turned to look at Bai Xiu'e: "Miss Bai."

"Ok!"

Bai Xiu'e had a serious look on her face and nodded heavily.

She also stretched out her hand - strands of silvery lotus root silk flowed out from her sleeves and woven into a thick and long rope.

Zhou Chang took out a few bells and tied them around the silver rope.

“My thoughts will be connected to Miss Bai’s rope.

Therefore, when I step into the gray fog, I will not be the one who always lingers at the end, asking you to risk your lives to clear the way.

Furthermore, there will be bells on the ropes. If you are in danger, you can shake the ropes vigorously to make the bells ring loudly..." Zhou Chang looked at Bai Xiu'e again and said, "At that time, please ask Miss Bai to pull the ropes and drag back the person who shook the bells."

"it is good."

Bai Xiu'e solemnly agreed.

Seeing this, the two hesitated. Another person said, "She is a weak woman after all, how can she have such great strength..."

"You two!" Wang Tiexiong lowered his voice and said directly, "You think that Brother Zhou's method is not feasible, and you have so many concerns. I wonder if you can come up with a complete set of rules?
If your method works, then let’s do it as you say!
Otherwise, just do as Brother Zhou says!
Don’t suggest any method that would make you brothers die in front, while you two cats sneak away to survive in the back—all the brothers present have sharp eyes and will not tolerate even a grain of sand!”

Wang Tiexiong's words finally suppressed the two people's doubts.

The two of them really couldn't come up with any other plan, they just wanted to delay time and hesitate to go into the gray fog.

Seeing that there was no other way, they had to do as Zhou Chang said.

Just like that, strands of thoughts flowed out from Zhou Chang's fingertips and were woven into five ropes, four of which were wrapped around the wrists of Mao Qi, Qian Zhou and the other two people. Between each rope, there were several bells.

The last strand connected with Bai Xiu'e's lotus root silk.

"If the road ahead is safe, I will let you know.

When the time comes, you can ask everyone to leave." Zhou Chang finally said to Bai Xiu'e.

The two silks are connected by thoughts, and Zhou Chang's thoughts can naturally be felt by Bai Xiu'e.

"Okay." Bai Xiu'e said seriously, "You have to be careful!"

Zhou Chang smiled, turned around and was the first to walk into the gray fog, followed by Qian Zhou and Mao Qi.

The remaining two people - Wensheng and Li Si were pushing and shoving each other at the edge of the gray fog, and were eventually kicked into the gray fog one by one by Wang Tiexiong.

The gloomy fog blocked people's vision. People outside the fog had no idea what was going on inside and could only judge the general situation on the other side by the ringing of the bells.

Zhou Chang, Qian Zhou and the other five people in the fog spread out every three steps.

They too could only see the vague outlines of their companions three steps away.

People outside the fog were stuck in a long wait.

People were paying attention to the ringing of the bell on the rope connected to Bai Xiu'e's palm.

Most people held their breath and concentrated, and most of them had no time to talk to their companions.

So, after waiting for a while, Bai Xiu'e's frown relaxed slightly, and she whispered to Zhou Sanji: "Brother Zhou...Brother Zhou said that they have walked about a hundred steps and are not in danger for the time being.

He asked everyone to walk slowly along the rope for a while."

Zhou Sanji repeated what Bai Xiu'e had said to everyone.

Wang Tiexiong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Then let's go?"

"Let's wait and see for a while. This is a matter of life and death..."

"You are just standing outside, your life is just a life, and my brother is exploring the way for us in the gray fog, so his life or death is not important?

Since Brother Zhou has sent a reply, let's set off!" Wang Tiexiong sneered at those who were still hesitating, "Anyway, these people are not the ones who can drive the Tai Lion. The corpse-driving team and our caravan are all going to set off. If you want to stay, then stay!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the sound of gongs and drums that had been silent for a while immediately rang out again.

The lion boys returned to the team, and the lions stood up proudly, ready to set off!
The person who was still hesitant also smiled and explained to Wang Tiexiong: "That's not what I meant. We should all stick together..."

He was still speaking when a burst of intense bell sounds mixed with the sounds of gongs and drums suddenly rang out!
"Ding ding ding ding!"

As the bell rang, Wang Tiexiong, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly froze!
The man who had tried to explain and smile to Wang Tiexiong before immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Tiexiong with a teasing look: "It seems that what Brother Zhou said may not be accurate..."

Bai Xiu'e looked at the bells that were shaking violently and listened to the sounds coming from the gray fog. She pursed her lips and the rope in her hand suddenly began to shrink!
"Ding ding ding ding!"

The rope quickly contracted by one foot at a time, and in a moment, a person was brought out from the gray fog.

The man had a mustache and no scars on his body. He looked at everyone with a look of doubt and suspicion: "You're back so soon?"

As he spoke, he shook the rope on his wrist.

"Li Si, what dangerous thing did you encounter in there?" Wang Tiexiong frowned as he looked at the person who came back without any injuries on his body and asked him.

"I just wanted to test the rope, I'm really worried..." Li Si responded with a few words, and when he saw everyone's gloomy faces, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly rolled his eyes to make amends, "It's too scary in there!
I seemed to see a ghost, and I was really scared—"

No matter how he tried to explain, no one believed him, so he could only smile and change the subject: "I have explored the way in there, right? Can I step down and let someone else take over?"

"Get in!"

Wang Tiexiong kicked Li Si into the gray fog again.

At this time, there was another burst of intense bell ringing.

Listening to this noise, it almost makes the hair on your body stand up!

Without any hesitation, Bai Xiu'e once again pulled back the rope that made the intense bell sound - this time it was Wensheng who was pulled back.

Compared with Li Si, Wensheng was obviously more prepared.

His face was filled with fear, and he trembled as he said, "I encountered a lot of tricks in there, a lot of tricks!
We can’t go in the gray fog, so let’s wait here until the monks from the Secret Hidden Domain break through the fog, so that it will be easier for everyone to escape…”

"Yeah." Wang Tiexiong nodded, "Li Si said the same thing.

Did you collude with Li Si?"

"Li Si?"

Wen Sheng frowned upon hearing this, and the fear on his face disappeared in an instant: "He really said that, so he really encountered a lot of weird things in there?!

Where is Li Si? ! "

"Go ahead and find him!

If you keep shaking the bell like this, just to survive, disrupting everyone's plan, and letting someone pull you back - I'll shoot you right away!" Wang Tiexiong was furious, and he suddenly pulled out the box gun from his waist, pointed it at Wensheng's forehead, and forced him into the gray fog again!

"These bastards!

It’s not that I won’t let them go in, it just wastes time!”

Wang Tiexiong kept cursing, feeling extremely angry.

Just at this moment, the two ropes connecting Wensheng and Li Si rang again almost at the same time!
"Ding ding ding..."

"I'm going to kill them both!"

Wang Tiexiong gritted his teeth, pulled the safety and loaded the bullet!
He stared at the two ropes closely, waiting for the two losers Wensheng and Li Si to be dragged out of the gray fog, and then he would kill them both on the spot!
Behind him, Bai Xiu'e suddenly frowned, and she said intermittently: "Brother Zhou...Brother Zhou said that the monks from Xielong Temple are here...The thoughts coming from him have become so vague..."

As Xiu'e spoke, she pulled the rope that made the bell ring.

——Even though Wensheng and Li Si behind the rope were probably causing trouble again, she couldn't just sit there and watch.

After all, I promised them before!
However, this time when Bai Xiu'e pulled the rope, she clearly felt that the force transmitted back from the other end of the rope was very light. She dragged the two ropes back almost without thinking.

A trail of blood meandered from the gray fog to Bai Xiu'e's feet.

The rope tied to Wensheng and Li Si's wrists was dragged back, bringing back blood all over the ground, and...

Half of Wensheng's body and one arm of Li Si.
