Chapter 202: Chapter 175 [Lottery Draw Chapter] The Broken Bridge Lock

Feeling the struggle of the cow beneath him, Jiang Xiao frowned.

"Stop messing around, you two. Without you, I wouldn’t even know what to do next. Move again? If you move again, I will bury you."

After some threats, the two cows finally settled down.

Who knows if there are any means of transportation in this small town?

Jiang Xiao did not want to walk all the way to that cathedral with Mu Xitang by foot.

At that moment,

the cow walking in front, Da Zhuang, suddenly let out a panicked "moo."

Immediately after, the three men with beards jumped down from the cows’ backs to check the situation.

"Damn, we’re screwed, Brother Jiang Xiao, there’s no road ahead."

"What? No way, there’s really no road?"

Jiang Xiao also jumped down to have a look.

It wasn’t exactly correct to say there wasn’t a road.

There was a road.

It just broke off.

There was a thirty-meter abyss ahead.

It had been too dark earlier, and Da Zhuang had almost slipped and fallen because of the cow’s slippery hooves.

The bearded man took a look and realized he could see only less than a meter down into the abyss.

Further down was a thick layer of black fog, churning like a dark river.

To test the depth, Curly picked up a stone and threw it down...

But not only did the stone not make any sound when it fell, but a wave of black fog also surged up from below.

If Curly hadn’t reacted quickly, that black fog would have hit him right in the face.

"Brother Jiang Xiao, what should we do? We, we seem unable to cross."

"Can’t cross? This isn’t even a road."

Jiang Xiao: (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)☛

Following the direction Jiang Xiao pointed, the three men slipped, How in the world could this be called a road?

Although the path was broken, there was an iron chain about the thickness of a wrist connecting the two sides.

It was unclear where the iron chain on the opposite side was fixed.

But the chain on Jiang Xiao’s side was attached to a large stele, and there were inscriptions on it.

Mu Xitang was the first to lean in for a closer look,

"Dust to dust, earth to earth. The dead shall not obstruct the living, the living shall relieve the dead of their suffering."

"On the road of rebirth sever earthly ties, on the Nether River Bridge a hundred grievances lie..."

Besides these two lines of large text,

there were also some small annotations under the stele.

"One person crosses at a time, two shall sever their souls."

"Divine objects are on the opposite shore, three out of four might seize them."

Hiss?

The expressions of the trio of doomed men seemed off.

The lines above were hard to interpret,

but the meaning of the small annotations was crystal clear.

This chain, only one person can cross at a time!

Two people might just die trying.

And there are good things on the other side.

Out of a team of four, only three could obtain them.

Meaning, the last person to cross is inevitably left with nothing.

Who should cross first?

Who should cross last?

This question, it had significant depth...

"I’ll go first!"

Compared to the others, Little Pink Hair wasn’t fazed at all by the black substance under the bridge!

"Hold on! Don’t rush, let me figure this out."

Jiang Xiao held back Mu Xitang, who was eager to try, planning to cross first to check the situation.

The three doomed souls seemed to have thought things through, silently nodding at each other.

Opportunity and such.

Give it all to Brother Jiang Xiao.

Besides, the provocative tone of those small lines was too obvious.

There was no need for them to cause rifts within the group over such benefits.

After all, if it weren’t for Jiang Xiao, they might still be at the ranch by now.

.....

Meanwhile, the two cows who had been ridden all day breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the broken road.

The two cows exchanged glances with twinkling eyes.

"Moo~ Moo moo?"

[Honey, looks like we can go back now?]

"Moo, moo moo!"

[Of course we can! Jiang Xiao wouldn’t possibly make us walk a tightrope, right? We brave cows can’t fly!]

Indeed, Jiang Xiao should not trouble them, assuming he has any compassion at all?

Thinking this, the two cows silently turned around to leave.

Freedom~

Finally, they could go home.

"Wait a second? Who said you could leave?"

Just as the two cows turned around, Jiang Xiao’s emotionless voice came from behind their ears.

"Moo!"

[Wife, run!]

"Moo!! Moo!!!"

[Nonsense!! Don’t you see I’m already powering up like crazy?]

In just a few seconds, the ground had been excavated into a deep pit by Da Hua’s sturdy front hooves.

"Boss Shudao Mountain, have you guys decided whether to run or not?"

"Uh..."

Panic appeared in the eyes of the two cows.

"Err..."

Maybe?

"We might as well not run anymore..."

Before they even reached Shudao Mountain, the two cattle meekly walked back.

Dazhuang, feeling indignant inside, mooed nonstop at the chains and paced anxiously back and forth on his four hooves.

The message was simple.

Are you really making a creature as heavy and four-footed as me cross this narrow chain? Isn’t that a bit too much?

Even the bearded men were persuading Jiang Xiao.

They argued that the two cattle had done enough and there was no need to force them.

"Don’t be scared, what’s all the panic about? I’m still here, after all."

Rustling.

Jiang Xiao handed over his treasure-filled mountaineering bag and shovel to Mu Xitang.

Then, under the bewildered stares of the crowd, he walked right behind Dazhuang’s buttocks...

"Sure, the rules say two people can’t cross together, but they didn’t say one person and one cow can’t cross together, right?"

Huh?

Everyone was puzzled.

Before they had time to grasp the meaning of Jiang Xiao’s words, he had already exerted his force!

!!!(๑╯•̀益•́)╯"Awei Eighteen Forms: One Pillar Holding the Sky! Lift for Daddy! Yahaha!"

Eh?

Dazhuang’s expression was utterly blank.

How come I’m floating?

The befuddled bull smelled the air above three meters high for the first time in its life.

Everyone: !!!!!!

By golly!

Curly: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) What?!

Black Mie: ∑(°口°๑) What?!!

Bearded Man: =͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇) What?!!

Mu Xitang: !!(*ﾟﾛﾟ) Daddy is awesome! So awesome!

This scene shook the bearded folks to their core for a hundred years!

Just considering Dazhuang, who is four or five times bigger than an ordinary cow.

This cow’s weight must be around two thousand kilograms, right?

And Jiang Xiao just lifted it up like that?!

It’s like the ancient Dragon Country legend of Shakya throwing an elephant!

[With strength enough to pull up mountains and spirit enough to cover the world... Over... Overlord Lifting the Tripod]

Oh my God!

The live comments in Dragon Country visibly froze.

Everyone was stunned by the exaggerated scene before them.

[My mom asked me why I’m kneeling while watching a live stream...]

[Report one thread—my mom just asked me the same thing, and now she’s kneeling down watching it with me.]

[What the heck! What the heck!!!]

[As someone with no culture, a single ’What the heck!’ suffices for everything.]

[I dare to say that this instance’s Jiang has the greatest strength ever!]

[But can this thin chain hold it?]

[You can tell by the footprints Jiang Xiao left whether it can hold or not—I think it’s doubtful.]

[Am I the only one who thinks this cliff is like the test set by the Princess of Xixia for choosing her consort in ’Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’?]

Two thousand kilograms weighing down on him.

Even with the strength of Bao Sister added, it was a bit too much to bear.

The moment he lifted, Jiang Xiao’s knees uncontrollably bent.

To talk of high quality was one thing.

The pressure was all concentrated on Jiang Xiao’s feet.

The immense pressure created deep, sprawling cracks all over the ground.

"Moo! Moo moo!!"

The uplifted Dazhuang finally realized he was being lifted by Jiang Xiao.

He panicked and struggled in Jiang Xiao’s hands.

"Stop mooing, or I’ll throw you down to save the trouble of burying you."

What?

Dazhuang immediately quieted down.

But inwardly, he was swearing nonstop.

How much sin had he accumulated in his previous life to have such a human torment him in this life?

Wasn’t this the pure Living Yama?

"Dad! Let’s not bring the cows, okay? I can do without milk! Besides, there should be vehicles or something in the town ahead."

"You might not drink but I still need to!"

Jiang Xiao spoke with righteous indignation.

Who knew if there would be food on the road ahead?

What if there were no edibles in the town?

He had just said the two cows only needed to get them out of the town and then he would let them go.

That was also based on the premise that the town had sufficient supplies.

As for not keeping his word or anything like that, ahem, it didn’t matter; Jiang Xiao wasn’t one to worry about face.

"Sss~Huff~Sss~Huff~"

As Jiang Xiao took several deep breaths to adjust his body and muscles, he finally straightened up slowly.

Not only did he stand upright.

His whole demeanor seemed even more relaxed.

It was as if what he was lifting wasn’t a cow, but a chicken, or perhaps a puppy.

The bearded man widened his eyes and pinched Curly’s thigh hard, confirming he wasn’t dreaming.

(´◑д◐｀) "Is this, is this that technique called ’lifting weights as if they were light, using minimal force to move great weights’ from their Dragon Country’s ancient martial arts?"
