Chapter 1259 Antlers (1/2)

This was trouble!

Looking at the mud that almost reached Li Du's thighs, the people were really frightened. Driver threw the rope aside and said, ”I'll try bringing the car over. Boss, tie the rope around your waist, I don't believe I can't pull you out!”

Ah Meow and the others were also very worried. Ah Meng looked at Li Du and then at the mud underneath him. Then it ran to him and started digging with its limbs.

Bogs were viscous, semi-solid. They did change shape, but at a moderate rate, and they didn't fill up quickly when they were dug up.

Ah Meng was very good at digging. He was strong and had long thick claws, which made him very capable at this work.

It took some trying at first, but when it went on easily.

Ah Meng was sprawled on the ground with its claws in the front like a shovel, digging fiercely at the sticky mud, creating a pit around Li Du's legs. In just a few minutes, the mud receded from Li Du's thighs to his knees and then to his ankles.

Crispy Noodles helped out too. The raccoon was also good at hole digging.

Li Du was left standing in a sticky puddle, but there was no mud trapping his legs anymore.

The people around cheered and began to pull the rope with renewed energy.

Li Du tried to help them, then felt more clearly that something was pulling his feet down.

Nevertheless, without the mud, it was much easier to pull him out, and his feet were finally extracted from the bog, along with a strange object.

This strange object was a pair of antlers. It had come from a big reindeer and had a dozen of branches.

Li Du's feet had been hooked by this thing. The antlers were covered with weeds, and the weeds were like ropes, binding them together between his heels. No wonder they found it so hard to pull him out.

Finally, with some effort, Li Du was dragged out, along with a deer's head.

There was a whole deer in the marsh, it turned out, and they pulled the head off the deer before they could get Li Du out.

Li Du would have to admit that he was down on his luck this time. Not only did he step in a swamp, but he also unexpectedly entangled himself in antlers. If it were not for the number of people he had to help him, and Ah Meng's great capability for digging holes, he might have really been in trouble this time.

This was the nearest brush he had had with death, apart from being shot in Africa.

Li Du smelled so bad that Godzilla rushed to get a bucket of water to wash his boots. His boots were ruined; they were torn when they got snagged on the antlers.

However, it was nice to get out alive. This crisis was much bigger than they expected.

Sophie hugged and kissed Ah Meng and Crispy Noodles, oblivious to them being smelly and smeared with mud.

Little Ford said admiringly, ”You don't keep your pet for nothing.”

”They didn't just help me today. They've come to the rescue many times before,” said Li Du with a smile.

Ah Meng and Crispy Noodles really did a good job.

Li Du changed his trousers and boots and was dry and clean again. Godzilla went off to boil water and prepared to give Ah Meng and Crispy Noodles a bath.

Brother Wolf then removed the head of the deer, handed it to Li Du and said, ”Boss, keep it as a souvenir. A deer with sixteen branched on its antlers is a rare sight.”

The deer must have lived for many years to have grown such impressive antlers.

Li Du's situation would have been even sadder if he had not been rescued in time.
