Even though the driver was following Lu Yanchen the entire way up the mountains, for some reason—be it due to his legs failing due to fear or because something had tripped him—he ended up sprawling on the ground.
He yelled out frantically, "HELP! HELP!"
Lu Yanchen spun around, only to find him being swallowed up by the mud.
Grabbing onto a tree near him with all his life, the man who was swept in the mud let out an aghast expression.
Lu Yanchen turned around and steadied himself on a firm high ground before reaching out for the driver while gripping a tree with his other hand. He wanted to pull the driver back up. However, the fact that the driver was a fat and bulky person aside, the mud that was dragging him down proved to be adding too much to his weight.
And the main reason was because his hand was way too slippery—in his panic, the driver had failed to grab onto Lu Yanchen's hand firmly and was then gushed down along with the mud.
