Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Even if these people try to pull someone ashore here, there's no guarantee of safety.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to do this," he said.

"Dangerous? How? I'm sure I can handle it. Big brother, just relax; I'll take care of this."

"How much do you weigh?"

"I, I weigh 180."

"Heh, you're at 180, while I'm only 140. We differ by 40, so tell me, who is more suited for this task?"

"Big brother, this, this has nothing to do with weight, does it?"

"Of course, it does. If you're heavier, you'll sink faster. I'm right, aren't I, old chap?"

With that, he turned to look at the hunter.

Upon hearing this, the hunter just nodded slightly.

"But to tell you the truth, no matter who goes down there, regardless of how light they are, even a very small leaf, once it goes down there, it might also sink into the Swamp. If that's the case, I advise you all to think thrice before acting."

"Think thrice before acting?"

"Right, given the situation, trying to retrieve that object from the middle of the Swamp is like a wild goose chase, so it's best not to act rashly."

"But if we don't get that object, you'll surely die this time; it is your only lifeline."

Ling'er explained this point once more.

Honestly, Lin Yi certainly didn't want to die. He hadn't lived enough to leave his life behind here.

But under the shadow of failure, it seemed he had no better option.

"Enough, stop arguing; I'll do it."

"What? You'll do it?"

When they heard what Ling'er said, they were all stunned and agape with surprise.

In the past, Hei Lang hadn't interacted much with Ling'er, but he could feel that at this moment Ling'er was making a huge sacrifice.

She truly deserved to be called a heroine.

"Forget it, I can't let all of you risk your lives because of me. If it's not possible here, we'll look elsewhere. Maybe we can find that object somewhere else?"

"Lin Yi, let me tell you, we don't have much time left. In this current situation, if you go out to search again, you'll probably waste a lot of time, and all that wasted time will consume your strength. Do you understand?"

"But..."

"No, I have a plan."

"A plan? What plan do you have?"

"I've roughly estimated the Swamp's overall width. It should be around 100 meters, right?"

"Yes, it's 100 meters. And then what?"

"If it truly is 100 meters, then do you have a total of 100 meters of rope when all your ropes are combined?"

"That's right. I'm asking you, do you have 100 meters?"

"That, don't worry, when added up, there's a total of 180 meters. I had already planned for this earlier."

"Good, then if that's the case, see that? There are big trees on the opposite side of the Swamp. Try to use your launcher to shoot the rope up there, then refix it on this side. You understand what I mean, right?"

"I get it; you're suggesting we build something like a makeshift bridge here. Then one could pull on a rope and get close to that place, right?"

"Exactly, that's the idea. That's the safest and most appropriate course of action."

"Old chap, do you think this will work?"

"It sounds like their plan has no issues, but I'm worried about whether doing so will bring other dangers."

He could only seek the hunter's opinion sitting beside him.

"When you get down to it, in principle, it should work, and indeed, it can be done. But the key issue is, I don't know how well it will bear weight. And even if the rope is secured to the tree, I feel that if one person goes down, pulling on it like this, they're bound to bob up and down."

The hunter said this while picking up a rope and demonstrating, and indeed, everyone understood what he meant.

"No use delaying; under the circumstances, this is the only thing we can do, so I must do it myself."

"What are you saying? Ling'er, how could I possibly let you take such a risk?"

"It's not a matter of taking risks now. Let me ask you, just now you were talking to Hei Lang. Hei Lang is forty pounds heavier than you, but I am a full forty pounds lighter than you. So, my weight is the most appropriate."

"Ling'er, it's not okay."

"Not just because of that; there's another reason. Even if you were to go over, you wouldn't know how to properly harvest it. If by your hand it gets destroyed, then even if you bring it back, it will be of no use to me. So, no one can replace me in doing this."

This statement plunged Lin Yi into deep thought.

Indeed, when it came to knowledge about herbal medicine, he genuinely had none. So, he wasn't sure if he could accomplish all this if he genuinely went over.

This was the concern that weighed on his heart.

"So, big brother, what do you think we should do about this?"

Hei Lang was also getting anxious. He thought this plan would probably ensure a certain level of safety, but now, it seemed there was no hope for that.

"Ling'er, are you sure?"

"If you delay any further, it might be completely over. It's your life; the choice is yours, whether you live or die."

"But Ling'er..."

"Alright, enough. Let's move quickly. Are you confident you can shoot the rope over to the tree on the other side?"

"That shouldn't be a problem. With the aid of this sight, it should be doable."

"Then go ahead; fasten it to the tree right now. Afterward, secure it on both ends. Don't worry, as long as it's firmly fixed, I'm sure there won't be a problem."

At this point, it seemed they had no better option, so they could only proceed according to Ling'er's plan.

And finally, Hei Lang started to work according to Ling'er's instructions.
