Chapter 9 (2/2)

Fog continued to thicken

InThe outlines bore resemblance to whips of iron chains They were thick as an ar around the corpse This hellish scene seee corporal torture of some sort

The looks on the others dra Zhou Quan's whispers They turned and prepared themselves to leap off the train at any time

”Don't worry These are just so clarified just in ti a visible shudder to seep over the others

”Yes It does look live vines” Many others nodded, eventually ceasing the panic

”Fro on the cliff above and dropped to his death These actors have really gone all out in work, even if that comes at the expense of one's life” Soretfully

Chu Feng took off his jacket and clutched at one of its sleeves Then he slung it with great force, twining the jacket around one of the vines He put forth his strength, then at last, he pulled over the body entangled by the vines

”Ah” Sohtened

”Oh ot some nerves, don't you I can't believe you pulled this off just like that” Zhou Quan was taken aback Fortunately, his cal hands

”Over here! Give us a hand!” Zhou Quan beckoned to the others ith them on the train

They braced thee They all rejected to be treated as a wi to co winced as he struggled to pull over the vines and the body He saw a piece of ancient artifact Its form was of primitive simplicity, but its appearance here seeer It did not have a metallic luster, so it seehtly clutched onto the dagger He did not loosen his clutch until his last breath

They pushed aside all the vines, before finally releasing the body froer?” Many seeold dagger fro was aer hed quite heavily

”Let er, but its excessive weight caught hi the blade to drop ”How come it's so heavy?” Zhou Quan jumped back several paces as he let out a cry of astonishment

The other few seeathered around the corpse and gave it a thorough examination

”Let's , then he signalled the others to relocate the corpse

Soon afterwards, soot off the train in curiosity They gathered around the body Everyone still seemed filled with apprehension, but at the same time, they all looked puzzled

The body was heavily built and quite tall His costume was a misfit to the current era He had a fatal wound His chest had been punctured through, leaving a gaping hole the size of a fist that saturated in dripples of fresh blood

”Clearly, this is the work of an edged tool Look at the fractured ribs Even they have been neatly cut,” in a whisper, someone pointed out the bizarre foric scene, and a bloody one too It was a sight too sadistic for the women to lay their eyes upon

”Hey man, why are you still up there?” Zhou Quan shouted in bewilder up on the train car

Chu Feng crooked his finger to beckon Zhou Quan, suggesting him to also join him up here

Zhou Quan cli along, walking ahead on top of the train

”Take a look” Chu Feng pointed into the distance

In the air, arrays of vines hung in tatters They were dense and crowded

”There are a lot of mountain vines here,” Zhou Quan murmured, ”Their roots, I suppose, should be located deep in those ate so extensively If this goes on, no trains will possibly be able to run on this line”

”This doesn't look like a mountain vine Because yesterday, when the train stopped here, I noticed that our nearest mountain was nearly hundreds of miles away These vines can't possibly just stretch themselves for such an extensive distance, and then so said as he looked up into the vault of heaven

Zhou Quan ide-eyed with astonish that these are so fro up into the sky as well

However, the dense fog ue and indistinct that no one could hardly distinguish anything

Chu Feng still hung onto that black dagger He poked aside the overhanging vines and continued along the top of the train

Suddenly, he halted his pace His body stiffened, his pupils rapidly constricted, his jaw tightened and his face lost its color Astonishment had frayed every stand of his nerve

”Why did we stop here?” Zhou Quan asked as he was trying to catch up

In a split second, he was petrified as well He stood transfixed for a e

”What the fxck! Is this the thing that caused that treht? What the fxck is this?” He could not believe his eyes Just like Chu Feng, his initial outburst of rage and astonishment soon put hi” athed in vines, swinging above the train car

Zhou Quan raise his head, speaking almost in the form of a somniloquy, ”This this can't be real this is ain ht not only hard to believe, but to Chu Feng, it was also a reality hard to accept
