Book 1: Chapter 168

The rest of us jumped down. The pit blown out by the mortar was shallower than the one we had dug, but it was bigger like a pan. After Liu Sang was kicked in, he felt around and then lay down on the ground while shouting at us, "Come on! Come on! We suddenly heard a lot of strange crackling sounds coming from the forest around us. I felt frightened when I thought of what Liu Sang had said just now. Maybe I should believe him in times like these! As I thought this, I also knelt down and lay next to him. Then, I saw Baishe quickly follow until the four us were lying in a row.

The pit was about arm deep, so it felt very weird as we lay inside of it. If someone were to take a picture of us from outside of the pit, we would definitely look like fried dumplings.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Are you sure this will work?" I asked Liu Sang.

"Stop talking nonsense. If we make it out of this alive, call me Dad." Liu Sang didn't even want to look at me. As soon as he finished speaking, I felt as if that darkness was passing over us.

Let me explain this feeling in detail.

Since we were lying flat on our backs, we could see the moonlight penetrating through the tree canopies and lightening the sky. Although it was very dark out, we could still see a little. When that thing floated above us, all the moonlight was blocked in an instant.

As I copied him, I found that continuously putting the mud on my skin could help relieve the sharp pain. So, the two of us kept slathering mud on our bodies, just like dying fish in the mud.

You know, it's very difficult pouring mud on yourself when you're stuck in a pit, but it's easy to pour mud on other people. We tried to slather ourselves in mud for a long time to no avail, so I eventually clenched my teeth and started pouring mud on Liu Sang. Soon, there was a lot more mud on him than before. He was slow to react, but he immediately started pouring mud on me when he saw what I was doing.

As the two of us continued throwing mud at each other, I turned my head to look at him and he turned to look at me. We couldn't actually see anything in the dim moonlight, so it probably just felt like the two of us were staring at each other.

The poisonous fog slowly got farther and farther away from us and the sky gradually began to lighten. By this point, my hands were reflexively throwing mud, my body was freezing, and my skin felt like it had been turned into swollen tofu skin.

When we finally rolled out of the pit, a mouthful of blood came gushing out of my nose and mouth and I immediately fell to the ground. Liu Sang tried to help me up, but his hands had no strength after throwing mud all night. He used his back to support me and keep me from falling back down. When Kan Jian came over and held me up, I saw everyone's skin in the dim light. It was all corroded and covered in blisters.

"Disfigured," Kan Jian said quietly. "Boss, can we recover from this?"

I touched my face. It hurt like hell and there was still blood dripping out of the corners of my mouth. I tried to stand up again, but found that I couldn't.
