1427: The earth-drilling dragon’s gallbladder

The earth-drilling dragon’s gallbladder

As he talked, he stepped forward trying to drag those few men out. Unexpectedly, once he stepped inside the pit, his expression changed. He immediately shouted at Feng Jiu who was about to enter the mud pit.1

"Don't get in!"

Feng Jiu was startled. She halted her steps. After seeing him standing there with a different expression, she asked, "What's wrong?" Chen Dao seemed to sink slightly inside the mud. Feng Jiu was astounded. "Is this the quicksand pond?"

"Correct. It's the quicksand pond. You can't come in."

He stood still, even speaking and breathing softly. This time he finally knew why all of them were covered with mud and some of them had only their heads visible above ground. Originally, this insignificant mud pit was actually a quicksand pond.

The quicksand pond, as its name suggested, was a muddy and rotten land. If people entered it by mistake, they would fall into the pond. If they struggled hard, they would sink faster. Just as now, he was still standing. Because of gravity, soon he would sink to half his waist. The soil under the feet couldn't be trampled on and the soil on the bodies acted as a magnet.

"A quicksand pond? Quick, look for some branches. Pull Chen Dao with the tree branch!"

Several men came in and yelled and hurriedly looked for branches to pull out people. But, at this moment, Feng Jiu's hands moved and a coarse rope flew out and binding Chen Dao's hand. At the next moment, Feng Jiu pulled Chen Dao out.

"Pop!"

He was fished out of the mud like pulling out some white radishes.

"Whew, I'm too scared to breathe. I'm so careless." Chen Dao said. As he looked at the rope in his hand, his eyes flashed. He stroked his handlebar moustache and grinned at Feng Jiu. "Kid, you have great strength. You've got hidden power!"

Feng Jiu looked at Chen Dao's muddy hand stroking his handlebar moustache, making them stained with mud. She couldn't help laughing. "No, it's just that Senior Brother Chen's elegant and unrestrained figure is so slender. It didn't require a strenuous effort to pull you out!"

"Hahahaha. Kid, any words coming out of your mouth always make people happy. Very good. Senior Brother will reward you later." He lowered his head, looking at his half body covered with mud and sighed, "I'm covered with mud. Somehow, I felt like a muddy hog."

Feng Jiu smiled with her eyes narrowed. Looking at those people still unconscious in the mud, she said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen, if you don't pull them out, they will sink." Because the soil was stirred, the people in the mud began to sink again.

Chen Dao looked back. At the next moment, he lifted his feet and jumped over the pond to pull them out.

Feng Jiu saw it and leapt out to pull out two people. After a few times, both of them saved several people inside the pond. However, each one of them was still in a coma.

"The earth-drilling dragons have thorns on their tails. The thorn contains medical properties that can make people comatose. It has a different category from ordinary incapacitating agents. We can't solve it with our potions. Feng Jiu, go and take the gallbladders of those earth-drilling dragons that were split into two."

After Chen Dao checked for several people, he asked Feng Jiu to pick the earth-drilling dragons' gallbladder.

"Alright." Feng Jiu replied and returned to those chopped into two earth-drilling dragons and found an egg-sized gallbladder in the beast' abdomen.

"Senior Brother Chen, here's the gallbladder." She handed the thing over. Chen Dao took the gallbladder and ripped a small hole to pour it on those unconscious people.
