Grandma Zhenzhu's words left Jing Kai speechless for a moment.
Yes, before they came, Granny Pearl had said that going up the mountain would be very difficult, but at that time they had not said anything about not wanting to go up the mountain. Because no matter what, they had to save Bei Ming.
Even if he didn't go up the mountain, Xie Yunjiao would definitely come.
So no matter what, we have to climb this mountain.
Granny Pearl said to Jing Kai, "Instead of complaining here, why not think of a way to get them all here safely?"
She handed a small bottle to Jing Kai and said, "Take this powder. When you see the monsters rise up, quickly sprinkle the powder on them, just like I did just now."
After she finished speaking, she muttered to herself, "What the hell, they weren't like this before. I guess what happened in the past few days has made them agitated."
Jing Kai was still feeling sad about losing a brother, and he had to concentrate on watching the swamp for fear that the monster would suddenly appear, so he only heard what Grandma Pearl muttered, but he couldn't hear what she said specifically.
Gu Huai and the others on the opposite side watched Jing Kai's men being dragged into the swamp alive by the monster that suddenly appeared and then died. They felt very sad and shocked.
No one expected that such a terrifying monster would suddenly emerge from the swamp!
Xie Yunjiao was in a very heavy mood. Grandma Zhenzhu had said that the way up the mountain was very difficult, but they had already given it their all to save Bei Ming.
They thought that the bluestone road was difficult enough, but they didn't expect that there were still many difficulties waiting for them.
"Yun Jiao, the way up the mountain is too dangerous. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so why don't I take you down the mountain first..."
Before Gu Huai could finish his words, Xie Yunjiao interrupted him. She took Gu Huai's hand and said, "No, I have to stay here. I feel very uneasy when I can't see you.
Everything here is too weird, and I can't activate the space. Even if I go down the mountain, I may not be safe."
Gu Huai said that in a moment of impatience, and regretted it the moment he said it.
Because even if he sent Xie Yunjiao down the mountain, he would still be worried if he couldn't see her.
And he always had a strange feeling that Zhou Ming had not left yet.
If Xie Yunjiao were left alone in the village, it would be dangerous.
Xie Yunjiao took Gu Huai's hand, squeezed it tightly, and said, "Please don't leave me alone, okay?"
Gu Huai squeezed her hand as if in response, lowered his eyes to look into hers and said, "No."
The moment he blurted out the words, Xie Yunjiao's eyes blossomed with brilliant light, as colorful as fireworks, and even brighter than the sun in the sky.
Gu Huai touched Xie Yunjiao's head with his other hand and said, "We won't separate from now on."
Xie Yunjiao responded obediently: "Okay."
Granny Pearl shouted to them from the other side, "Come here quickly before they finish eating."
Gu Huai and the others' expressions changed. The tone of Grandma Pearl's voice made it sound as if those monsters only ate ordinary food, not humans!
Although they were still feeling very complicated, they did not dare to delay. After all, as Grandma Pearl said, after those monsters had eaten Jing Kai's men, they would probably become addicted to it and continue to attack them.
After all, those monsters look very huge, and I’m afraid Jing Kai’s men won’t be able to fill their stomachs!
Gu Huai originally wanted to carry Xie Yunjiao up, but Xie Yunjiao disagreed, thinking that it would be more convenient for them to walk separately.
Xie Yunjiao thought of something and glanced at Nanfeng who was carrying Beiming on his back.
They can still go their separate ways, but what about Nanfeng and Beiming?
Bei Ming is now in a coma and cannot move at all.
"Don't worry, boss. I will carry Bei Ming over. Even if I am in trouble, I will not let him get hurt." Nanfeng said.
Xie Yunjiao said, "Don't talk nonsense, nothing can happen to the two of you."
After Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, she followed Gu Huai and walked on the hemp rope, even though she had just watched how Jing Kai and his men walked through the hemp rope.
But when they stood on it, they realized that although it looked simple, it was very difficult to walk on it.
There are no handles here, only a hemp rope under your feet. It feels shaky when you walk, as if you will fall at any time.
Suddenly, her hand tightened. Gu Huai turned around, grabbed her hand, and said to her, "I promised to hold your hand and not let go. Hold on tight."
Xie Yunjiao nodded at Gu Huai.
If she hadn't lost too much blood and was not so weak, she wouldn't be unable to stand.
Now that I have Gu Huai's help, it's much easier.
The two of them worked together and passed the task quickly.
Jing Kai had been guarding the other end with the medicine powder in his hand. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai walking over safely.
But there were still people who hadn't come, so he was still worried.
It was Nanfeng and Beiming's turn. Nanfeng found it difficult to keep his balance while carrying Beiming on his back, so he walked very slowly.
No one urged him, but just watched with bated breath from the opposite side.
Just as the south wind was about to end, the swamp suddenly began to bubble up again.
Xie Yunjiao began to get nervous, and she held Gu Huai's hand tightly.
Gu Huai felt that her palms were full of sweat.
He was also nervous, but at this moment he could do nothing but watch.
Nanfeng also saw the movement in the swamp and he couldn't help but become nervous.
Just as he quickened his pace, Bei Ming behind him suddenly tilted to the left. He lost his balance and fell into the swamp.
Before he fell, he threw Bei Ming to the other side with all his strength and shouted, "Catch it!"
"Nanfeng, be careful!"
As soon as Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, one of Nanfeng's feet sank into the swamp.
Fortunately, one of his hands was still holding the hemp rope.
Only after seeing Jing Kai hugging Bei Ming did Nan Feng start to struggle to get up.
But the swamp seemed to have a force pulling him deeper and deeper, and the harder he tried, the tighter it became.
Bubbling began to form around him, proving that the monster was approaching.
Suddenly, a big mouth covered in blood suddenly appeared in front of Nanfeng. There was a piece of cloth hanging on its mouth, which was torn clothes!
Nan Feng's heart tightened, knowing that resistance was futile. He said to Xie Yunjiao, "Boss, take good care of Bei Ming and don't let anything happen to him."
Xie Yunjiao cried and shook her head. She said to Nanfeng, "You were the one who said you would take care of him for the rest of his life. I never said that!"
Nanfeng smiled helplessly at Xie Yunjiao and said, "I want to too." But he couldn't do it.
At this moment, Jing Kai took the powder given by Grandma Zhenzhu and sprinkled it on the monster with its mouth wide open.
The monster was shocked and quickly hid in the swamp, not daring to show its head.
Xie Yunjiao breathed a sigh of relief, but the danger wasn't over yet; they had to find a way to rescue Nanfeng!
