Chapter 19 - Skeletal Carriage (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Liu Chuan was shocked when he saw the slowly moving shadow.
He had clearly checked the surroundings carefully earlier, yet he didn’t notice anything nearby.
“Monkey, Lin Sisi, Wu Zhixin, quick, stop cultivating. Something’s happening.” Liu Chuan did not care if he disturbed the others’ cultivation as he hurriedly said to the others.
When the others heard Liu Chuan’s voice, they were all shocked and stood up one after another.
Then, Liu Chuan quickly said to Wu Zhixin, “Wu Zhixin, quick, bring out a few more flashlights and see what it is.”
The unknown was the most terrifying. Unknowingly, Liu Chuan’s palms started to sweat.
Previously, Liu Chuan had given his flashlight back to Wu Zhixin. Meanwhile, something like a light bulb had been placed on the ground to illuminate the surroundings. This light bulb had a cover on the outside, so the light from it wouldn’t be as blinding as the light from a flashlight.
At this moment, he just wanted to see what the moving shadow was.
“Here.”
Wu Zhixin was a little flustered. She took some time to find the flashlight and threw it to Liu Chuan.
Liu Chuan caught the flashlight and turned it on. The strong light from the flashlight shone on the shadow.
“What is this?”
Everyone saw the shadow clearly, but they did not expect it to not be a creature.
Liu Chuan said with uncertainty, “It looks like a carriage?”
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the carriage seemed to be made of an unknown metal. It was pitch-black, and the four sides of the carriage were wrapped in tattered silk, preventing Liu Chuan and the rest from investigating the situation inside.
Meanwhile, the two horses pulling the carriage were completely devoid of flesh and blood. They were two skeletal warhorses!
Furthermore, these two skeletal warhorses were currently taking small, elegant steps as they steadily pulled the carriage forward.
“Look, there are only bones on the bodies of the horses. No, look, the horse carriage is floating.” Monkey was also shocked. He felt that the entire cave was starting to have a sinister aura.
“Hiss…”
Everyone could not help but gasp in shock.
“Why is there a carriage in this cave? Could there really be a ghost?” Wu Zhixin was afraid of ghosts.
At this moment, Liu Chuan finally reacted. He called for everyone to run towards the entrance of the cave. “Come, let’s leave this place. Hurry.”
It was better not to touch this thing. Running away was the best choice.
When the others heard this, they naturally retreated immediately.
In the end, what greeted them was not the exit, but the cold mountain wall.
“Where’s the entrance? Where did the entrance go?”
“It’s gone. The entrance is gone.”
“That’s impossible. We just came in here.”
“Calm down, calm down. Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious!”
…
Even though Liu Chuan was also panicking internally, as the mainstay of the team, he had to stay calm.
The entrance of the cave had disappeared!
This meant that their only exit had disappeared, and they had to find another way to leave this place. However, a strange carriage was slowly approaching them from the other side of the cave.
“Dogshit, come with me and break open this cave. Wolf King’s Claws!” Seeing that the entrance of the cave was gone, Liu Chuan prepared to create an exit and even called out the Wolf King’s name.
“Howl~” Dogshit howled in response and began to exert force at the same time as Liu Chuan in an attempt to break through.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Liu Chuan used Wolf King’s Claws hundreds of times in a row. He only stopped when his meridians were aching slightly. Meanwhile, Lin Sisi and the rest had already jumped to the side to prevent themselves from getting injured by the flying rocks when Liu Chuan used Wolf King’s Claws.
For a moment, the entire cave was filled with flying rocks and dust. Lin Sisi and the rest who were not far away started coughing.
As for Liu Chuan and Dogshit, who were standing at the front, they were naturally covered in dust.
“No, this mountain wall was definitely not this thick before.” Liu Chuan’s expression was a little ugly.
The others were at the side and couldn’t see the situation clearly, but he was very aware. After all, he had blasted the wall with Wolf King’s Claws so many times and created a huge pit several meters deep in the mountain wall. However, he didn’t feel like he had penetrated it at all.
Liu Chuan could even sense that the mountain wall was getting harder and harder. In the end, the Wolf King’s Claws only left a scratch.
Before the dust completely settled, Monkey was the first to jump over.
“Brother Chuan, how was it? Did you succeed?”
Liu Chuan did not say a word, but Monkey could roughly guess the outcome from his expression.
After a moment, the dust dispersed and the group of four could clearly see the situation inside the cloud of dust. All of them had ugly expressions.
