Inserting the stick into the mud pit seemed very normal, whether pushing it downward or stirring it around; it was basically indistinguishable from a standard water hole. But when Dong Tianyu prepared to pull the stick out of the mud, he felt a tremendous resistance.
The sensation was similar to the cable ties he used in the past, which could only be tightened but not loosened.
Dong Tianyu didn't believe in superstitions and continued to exert force, but while he was ready to wrestle, the stick in his hand couldn't withstand the pressure.
With a crisp 'snap,' the stick broke into two pieces.
Dong Tianyu looked at the uneven break and the portion of the stick that had been floating on the surface of the mud pit but was now quickly sinking into it, Dong Tianyu truly felt helpless.
Unwilling to give up, Dong Tianyu tried using the Earth Movement Curse, hoping to compress the mud around the mud pit towards its center.
