Chapter 9.2 – Shock

Editor: AlexaSN

Chou Quan climbed up next to him. Even though he was fat, he wasn’t clumsy. He was up with Chu Feng in a few seconds.

The few strong lads behind, felt less panicky now, when they were together in this and climbed up after Chou Quan.

“Was he….acting in a movie? What is he wearing?!” Chou Quan exclaimed after looking at the corpse, he nearly cursed out loud.

“Who….is he? Why is he dressed like that?!” a young lad chimed in.

“I think he’s from the past, could he have been buried here in this battlefield? But why…..is he hanging in mid-air?” another guy joined in.

After he said that, a chill was felt by some of the people on the train. It made the area they were at, seem much more desolated.

“Is that….chains on his body? Where did it come from?”

Chou Quan was no longer calm, he pulled Chu Feng’s sleeve and whispered, “Brother, we can’t afford to anger this thing. Since we encountered something unexplainable, let’s just quickly go!”

The mist was still too thick to see much of anything.

In mid-air, shadows danced. It was as if chains as thick as arms were extending down and clung to the body. The scene looked somewhat like what you would see in h.e.l.l.

A few heard what Chou Quan had whispered and were fighting the urge to return to the compartment. This place made them feel unsafe, they could feel their neck hairs standing on ends.

“It’s okay, those are vines, not metal chains.”

Chu Feng’s sudden revelation made the others jolt.

“Mountain vines? How could it have grown here?” Chou Quan was suspicious. In the thick mist, he observed it again and again. It was true that the “metal chain” had some leaves growing from it.

“Yeah, I think it’s a vine.” a few nodded their heads and sighed in relief.

“I guess they came from the mountain. They really give their all to shooting movies – even their lives.” a tall lad said, shaking his head.

Chu Feng took off his coat and grabbing one sleeve, he threw it across. It caught the vine and he pulled the cadaver towards him.

The cadaver momentarily swayed from the impact.

“Ahh…..!” two guys screamed.

“I say, brother, you really do have guts. Just like that, you managed to pull it over.” Chou Quan was still afraid, but he quickly settled  down and helped Chu Feng to pull.

“Quick, lend a hand!” Chou Quan called out to the others.

Some repressed their fear and came over to help even though they were unwilling to touch the body.

Chu Feng jolted again. The moment they managed to pull it over, he saw something ancient.

It was a sword. It was pitch black all over and there was no glint. It seemed to be casted in black gold. The corpse was holding onto it tightly. Even in death, he did not let it go.

They untangled the vines.

“A sword?” a few were stunned.

Chu Feng pried loose the corpse’s hand and grabbed the black gold sword. He was flabbergasted. It was merely a meter long but it was very heavy.
