Chapter 9.1 (1/2)

Even though it was fast approaching dawn, it was still dark. Especially with the mist swirling and engulfing the entire mountain, making it so one couldn't see much.

People were already tense even before the young man’s scream. Now, things were worse, some were not taking it very well.

”Ahh…!”

The men who got off the compartment with the others were so frightened that they backed away a few steps and nearly tripped over themselves. They too, screamed in horror.

”What the h.e.l.l are you shouting for?!” Chou Quan glared at him.

But he too was shaken by the scream, the hair on his neck was standing on ends.

”What did you see?” Chu Feng asked.

He was beside Chou Quan. He and the other group were still quite a distance away and with the mist, they couldn't see pa.s.s a few meters ahead.

That man's teeth were chattering and he was blabbering gibberish. His finger pointed to something in mid-air. It was as if his feet had stopped listening to him, he wanted to back away from there but instead stayed frozen mid-stance.

”There's a black ma.s.s over there, I see it!”

”What is that?”

The other two who were the first ones to be frightened looked up at the same time. They too, started to blabber incoherently and quickly staggered backwards. They were shaken to the core.

Afterwards, the whole train couldn't keep silent any longer. The people onboard had heard the screams from outside and some women began to shriek as well.

This was an ancient battlefield. According to rumours, many people had lost their lives here. And now, this place was covered in mist and their communicators weren't working – how can it not scare the people?

Terror ensued.

”We haven't even seen anything much yet, why are you guys screaming?! What is there to be fearful of?!” Chu Feng shouted.

He and Chou Quan approached the area and saw the black ma.s.s hanging in mid-air. It was very misty, they couldn't see much.

”Ahh!”

The man who screamed first screamed again. He was nearest to the black ma.s.s. In fact, he was just under it. Terrified, he dropped on his b.u.t.t and tried to crawl away.

”Blood, blood! I saw him!”

Initially, he was frozen to the ground, but he finally muster up some strength to half crawl and half roll away.

”Oh my gosh, you have blood on your face!”

The two men who were not far off saw the blood on his face and were instantly terrified. They could feel chills right down to their bones.

”It's not mine, it's from there, it dripped from his body!” he pointed to the black ma.s.s in mid-air, face still filled with horror.

”There really is the smell of blood!”
