Purifying Mantra Chapter 27 Returning to the Big Pit Successfully

The pieces of meat that were removed were pitiful, about fifteen kilograms. But multiplying by three should be enough. We did the same thing with the other two corpses. With the previous experience and the fact that I stopped vomiting, we moved much faster.

We divided the meat into two bags, each bag weighing about twenty kilograms. Zhao Shuang and I cooperated well, leaving no mess to clean up. Huang Xiao's catcher has also been completed. He also made three torches using wooden sticks and ores, which are almost perfect. Then he cleaned himself up and sat by the fire to rest for a while.

"There are too many supplies, and the bridge is difficult to walk. We can't transport them all at once! The other end of the bridge needs to be guarded." As soon as he sat down, Zhao Shuang threw out the problem we were about to face.

"I'm here to guard you, you are all seriously injured!" I am not the strongest among the three, and I am also afraid of facing the rats alone, but everything started with me, and I must take responsibility.

The air suddenly froze, Huang Xiao looked at me thoughtfully, and Zhao Shuang stared at Huang Xiao without speaking, which made me a little embarrassed.

"It's better for me to go! I made the torch, which is very defensive. You don't know how to use it." Huang Xiao replied in time.

"Then it's settled!" Zhao Shuang agreed almost immediately, which caught me off guard. "Don't waste time here, hurry up!" Zhao Shuang stood up immediately and piled all the bags at the door.

"What should I do with the fire?" The flame will keep burning, but I don't know how to extinguish it.

"Whatever, let's burn it." Huang Xiao said without seeming to care, but his eyes lingered between Zhao Shuang and me.

"It won't burn anything else!" I picked up the bronze tripod placed on the bridge and placed it next to the fire.

"So what if it's burning? Are you planning to come back often?" Huang Xiao lit the torch on the bronze cauldron.

Zhao Shuang and I looked at each other. If we can go out, do we need to do it again? The ring on my hand suddenly tightened, as if reminding me of the contract I had just made.

"First transport the ore and tools over. The bridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. After the personnel arrived, the two of them drove away the rats. One person quickly set up a fire ring around the bridge. The things were left in the fire ring and were guarded by Huang Xiao. Zhu Mo and I took the opportunity to retreat. Get the meat!" Zhao Shuang stood at the bridge and said his plan quickly. Huang Xiao and I nodded repeatedly.

"If the mouse is determined to break out, you should quickly retreat to the bridge. When we come back, we will find another way!" I put my hand on Huang Xiao's shoulder and shook it. Huang Xiao nodded, and I looked at Zhao Shuang worriedly: "Can your legs still hold on?"

Zhao Shuang pursed his lips and said: "It's okay! I just took two more packs of medicine." He sighed and lowered his eyelids: "This level is not difficult. The most difficult level is the big pit. If we are in If you lose your direction there, all your efforts will be wasted.”

"Take one step and take a look! It's useless to think too much." I dragged the largest bag of ore in my hand, took a homemade torch from Huang Xiao's hand, kneeled on the bridge and took the lead.

Dragging the ore across the narrow bridge was easier than I thought. Perhaps it was because the two injured brothers behind me had fewer distractions in their minds and just stared ahead. The sound of the sacks rubbing against the rough bridge floor worried me a bit. If the sacks were worn out, the ore would fall to the bottom of the bridge, slowing down the trip, and our confidence would suffer a serious blow.

However, when I was approaching the bridge, I turned around to check the bag and discovered that Huang Xiao had already considered the wear and tear, and there was a sack inside the torn sack. I couldn't help but have the urge to laugh.

The bridgehead was not as crowded with rats as I imagined. A few sparse ones were lingering on the cliff, as if on sentry duty. When they saw me holding a torch, they all backed away obediently.

I shook the torch and shouted: "Safe!" Then I took out the ore and arranged the fire ring.

Huang Xiao and Zhao Shuang acted quickly and were all in place before I lit the fire ring. I told Huang Xiao to be careful and followed Zhao Shuang back to the cave.

I retrieved the jade lock placed at the door of the cave and watched the door quickly fall. "You will come back..." Such words flashed through my mind and I couldn't help but shudder.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shuang touched my arm.

I looked at him blankly and said, "Will we come back?"

"Let's talk after we get out!" He moved to the side, meaning to let me go first.

Dragging the bag of meat onto the bridge was much more difficult than dragging the ore. Blood leaked from the bag of meat and dripped down the bridge. The blood did not play a lubricating role, but greatly increased the friction, making every step I took a step. After all my efforts, maybe the meat bag still carries the souls of those three people. It was they who held the meat bag back from letting me move forward.

The smell of the meat bag made me feel trance-like, and my body swayed left and right off balance. The light dancing in front of me brought me hope, and my stomach, which had been tightening, relaxed a little. Suddenly something cold was attached to my ankle. I was startled. I stopped all movements, held my breath and glanced sideways at my ankle. I don’t know when a black mist rose from the bottom of the valley. The mist turned into a human form, opened its big mouth and tried hard to pull my ankles to pull me down to the bottom of the valley.

I felt my heart stop and I felt dizzy and lost my center of gravity.

"Zhu Mo!" A slap in the face made my whole body tremble. It was Huang Xiao. He was sitting astride the bridge and grabbed my collar, planning to slap me again. I shook my head violently and found that the meat bag had already fallen halfway down. Cold sweat quickly covered the surface of my skin. It was the meat bag that was trying to pull me down. These damn bastards were still alive after they were dead. A pair of hands held the meat bag firmly from behind, allowing me to quickly regain my sense of balance.

The dizzy feeling made me lie down on the bridge and vomit violently. The flashing light of the torch clearly reflected the falling stones under the bridge. "Get out!" I shouted. Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment and turned around quickly. Withdraw towards the ring of fire. Zhao Shuang also quickly retreated. I lay on the bridge in fear, like a prisoner waiting for the knife to fall, but nothing happened. Everything returned to calm, as if everything just now was just my imagination.

I didn't dare to slack off anymore and headed towards the ring of fire at full speed. The rats seemed to have received a signal and began to gather outside the fire ring. The speed was faster than I imagined, and the number was also greater than I imagined. Zhao Shuang moved very quickly. As soon as I regained my footing, he had already reached the bridge. Just as I put on my gloves, the rats smelled blood. After a commotion, they approached the fire ring and began to eagerly try. We are in a very dangerous position, with a bottomless abyss behind us. Once the rats attack, the ring of fire will become a burden for our attack.

The situation started to get out of hand. Zhao Shuang shouted: "There is no time to spread the meat slowly, Zhu Mo, open your bag and cover our retreat." As he said that, he used a shovel to open a gap in the fire ring, and jumped out with two bags of things on his back. Huang Xiao Immediately afterwards, use a torch to burn the rat on the meat bag.

I took out a handful of meat and sprinkled it around the fire ring to attract the attention of the rats. The rats swarmed in. I dragged the bag backwards, scattered the meat all over the floor, and chased Huang Xiao. Huang Xiao sprinkled the ore into a line and ignited it as soon as I passed. This method effectively prevented the rats on the cliff from pursuing me and greatly reduced the intensity of the rats' attack.

We successfully escaped into the pit, and the remaining rats quickly gathered to attack us for a second round. Zhao Shuang's meat bag had been bitten by the mouse. He violently threw the meat bag around, trying to spread the meat as far as possible to buy us time. Huang Xiao had already set up the catching net, and I cooperated with him tacitly. We found the most densely populated place to lower the net, beat it, and close it. It was all done in one go, and it was incredibly smooth.

After the arrest, we fell into confusion. As Zhao Shuang said, we lost our direction in a dark and empty place. The rats in the catching net were in commotion again. Huang Xiao and I worked together to beat the net on the ground. The meat on the ground had been wiped out by the rats, and we were in trouble again.
