Chapter 861 - Food Was All Drowned in Quicksand (2) (2/2)
The rope, which seven males were unable to move, was pulled out by a snake beastman.
The reason the tiger beastmen weren’t able to pull the rope out wasn’t that they weren’t strong enough. On the contrary, it was because they had exerted too much strength.
Quicksand had an inertia strength, so when they tugged at it forcefully, it’d be as firm as solid ground. However, when you follow the flow of the inertia to gradually exert force, you get success.
The quicksand moved under Curtis’s tail. He moved back calmly and continued to pull at the rope.
Not long later, a bag filled with food came out from the quicksand.
The tiger beastmen’s breathing instantly returned to normal.
However, it then felt as if the ropes didn’t have any weight and slipped out with just a tug from Curtis.
The entire rope was pulled out, but it was empty. There was nothing left.
“Where’s the food? Why is there only one bag left?”
Curtis picked up the end of the rope. There were traces of blood left on it.
Curtis flicked out his tongue and said, “The rope was broken off. There are beastmen under the quicksand.”
Parker also got up close to take a whiff, saying in astonishment, “There really are! It’s a bear beastman! No, the blood belongs to a beastman, but there’s also the scent of a wolf. It seems two beastmen fighting for food!”
“What? Are there beastmen in the quicksand?”
Alva looked at the quicksand river and guessed, “Could they have been engulfed by the quicksand?”
If he had been engulfed by the quicksand back then, would he have to live under the sand as well?
With this, not much of the luggage was left. Thankfully, the water jars were used to set up the tent and weren’t tied to the rope.
