We settled Yang Chu and tidied up a bit before going up the mountain. I grabbed the old man and asked, "Is there any iron rod or something like that? I'll take it for self-defense."

"Do you think that iron beasts can be dealt with with a stick?" The old man frowned and said, "Now I will teach you a survival skill. In this world, don't underestimate anything. Often the smaller things, The easier it is to give you a fatal blow in the end."

Looking at the angry face of the old man, I found that he is particularly sensitive to these things and is also easily irritable.I'm sure something bad must have happened back then.

At this moment, I can only comfort him: "I understand, I understand, I just can't think of any way to deal with the iron beast, do you know?"

"What iron beasts are most afraid of is silt. The silt can block the breathing holes on their bodies, causing them to suffocate to death."

"Breath hole?" I asked puzzled, "They don't have noses?"

"You will understand when you see it. Now let's go decorate the mud and come back."

The old man said that there was a field behind the mountainside. Because of the recent rain, a lot of soil flowed into the field, which could be used to defend against the iron beast.We took the equipment (in fact, clay pots) and set off back to the mountainside.

From far away, I could smell a rancid smell. The smell was unusual. It made my nose lose its intuition. I covered my nose with my clothes and asked, "Why is it so smelly here?"

The old man said: "Do you know what area we are in now?"

"what?"

"It's an underground abattoir in one of the six regions, understand?" The old man looked at me with a look of resentment.

I thought for a while and said, "You mean this is where they dumped their bodies?"

"Almost, this is a mountain. People in the city will not go to this place. Only the clean corpses in the city will come here."

"What is a clean corpse?" I asked

The old man said: "Cleaning corpses is the person who is responsible for the dead bodies in the city. There are so many killings in the city. If the corpses are not cleaned up, we will wait for the plague to break out."

I looked at the silt tan in front of me, and felt a chill when I thought of the dead bodies inside. The old man saw that I hadn’t made a move yet, and laughed and said, “You still want to go home with your courage?! Go dreaming.” !"

Hearing the old man's eccentric tone, it was as if my pride had been trampled on, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'm just looking for a better place to attack." .

The sticky mud stuck to my hands as if they were coated with oil. In order to divert my attention, I asked casually, "By the way, grandpa, I don't know what your name is yet?"

The old man chuckled and said, "My surname is Li. If you like me, please call me Grandpa Li."

Grandpa Li and I installed two large pots of mud, and each of us walked up the mountain with the other on our backs. Because of the heavy rain for several days, the mountain road was extremely difficult to walk. Fog, the mountain presents a strange scene, which makes people shudder.

On the way, we found that many trees were broken by the middle. The more we went up, the more trees were broken. What was even more frightening was that near the top of the mountain, a large area became bare, and all the trees were rolled up. Come together and pile aside.

Grandpa Li looked at the scene in front of him and whispered to me: "Be careful, the iron beast may be around here."

I nodded, and casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground to block in front of me. Although it was useless, it could give me some psychological comfort, so we walked forward step by step.Suddenly a strange sound came from the front, the sound was like a whale breathing and jetting on the sea surface, Grandpa Li motioned for me to follow him closely, and I held the clay pot in front of me, ready to wait no matter what happened , Throw it over without saying a word.

Sure enough, just two steps away, a huge monster sprang out from the place covered by the broken wood in front. It looked like a wild boar at first glance, but it was not as pleasing to the eye as a wild boar. The left eye of the monster was cut open from the middle by a sharp weapon. The flesh drooped on his face, like a sharp iron blade.

"Be careful! The iron beast is coming!" Grandpa Li shouted: "Throw the clay pot on it."

And I was so frightened that my legs went limp. Just imagine, a huge monster with metallic luster suddenly appeared in front of your eyes and stared at you viciously. Who would have the strength to think of running away!

Seeing that I didn't respond, Grandpa Li turned around and kicked me, cursing, "You are so fucking stupid!"

I hurriedly came back to my senses and lifted the clay pot and threw it at the iron beast. Unexpectedly, the iron beast spewed out a puff of gas and blew the clay pot back.

"What's going on?!" I asked in surprise.

"This is the breathing hole I told you about," said Grandpa Li, "We must find a way to block it, or we will be eaten."

My mind was in a mess, I kept thinking about what to do, and my heart was pounding like it was about to jump out.

After a while, the iron beast walked towards us slowly, as if it saw that we were not aggressive and decided to hunt us.I looked at the densely packed teeth it showed, and a burst of goose bumps came out.

Grandpa Li signaled to me at this time that we will run separately later to distract it. I nodded to show my understanding, and began to move back slowly. At this time, the iron beast rushed towards us.

Grandpa Li immediately shouted: "Run!"

I quickly turned around and ran down the mountain, but I didn't expect that iron beast to chase me in my direction. While running, I shouted, "Why are you chasing me!" Advertisement, I wish I could slap myself!

Just when I was in a state of confusion, Grandpa Li's voice came from behind: "Go to the mud pool quickly! Lead it there!"

I spread my legs and ran in that direction. At this time, I was really glad that although I was a fat man, I ran fast enough.Along the way, the iron beast followed closely behind, and many trees were knocked to the ground. I protected my head and ran wildly, and finally saw the muddy lake on the mountainside. I calmed down and took the time to look back. The mouth of the iron beast was almost attached to the back of my head.With a cry of my mother, a stuffed animal rolled down the hillside and fell on the edge of the mud pool. I hurriedly stood up holding my back, and saw the iron beast rushing towards me with its mouth wide open. My heart ached. Thinking it's over, I'm going to become its food, so I instinctively raised my hand to block in front of me.

With a "bang!" and a piercing scream, the expected pain did not come. I opened my eyes cautiously, and found that the iron beast was struggling in the center of the silt, surrounded by bubbling noises. The sound, after a while, all sank.I let out a breath, and then I felt the pain from the fall just now.

I whimpered and turned around, and with a "boom", my whole face seemed to hit a wall. I took a step back suddenly, and stepped into the mud.

"Ah! Help! Help! I'm going to sink!" I opened my eyes wide and watched the mud flood my entire thigh in an instant.I hurriedly pulled my legs out, when a slender hand stretched out in front of me, I looked up, only to find a person standing in front of me, that person was quite tall, a full head taller than me , because of the backlight, I can't see his face clearly, but that hand is quite beautiful.
