Chapter 826: Collapsed Tunnel

Li Du was only making a random guess. Little did he know, he was most probably right.

There might be snake nests near the tunnel. Muller told him that he had also found venomous snakes after they had dug a distance into the mine for the tunnel. Furthermore, due to their carelessness, one of his miners was bitten by a venomous snake.

"Luckily, we managed to provide treatment in time and had antivenin in the mine. Otherwise, the situation would have turned really bad." Muller said, "As we continued to dig further in afterward, we encountered more and more snakes...."

After finding so many snakes, the miners were reluctant to enter the tunnel and did not want to continue digging. All of them had wives and children back home, and they were afraid that they might get bitten.
