I Truly Have Average Talents - Chapter 19

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.

“This cave is a little strange. No wonder there are no strange beasts living here.”

Liu Chuan also realized that there was something wrong with this place. Normally, this kind of cave would be occupied by mutated beasts, but this cave actually didn’t have any. However, no one had thought of this problem before.

Mutated beasts were intelligent and must have occupied this cave before. However, every mutated beast that occupied this cave would disappear afterwards. Thus, no other mutated beast would occupy this cave.

For a moment, everyone had no idea what to do.

Liu Chuan pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s go back. Instead of waiting here, we might as well take the initiative to look for that carriage.”

At this moment, Wu Zhixin suddenly said in fear, “But I don’t dare to. I’m afraid of ghosts.”

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here to protect you.” Monkey patted his skinny chest and said to Wu Zhixin.

“Pui! Do you think you can protect me with that little body of yours? Why don’t you let me protect you instead?” Wu Zhixin couldn’t help but spit lightly when she heard this, but her anxious feelings eased up slightly.

“I agree. There’s no point in staying here. Why don’t we go over and make some plans?” Lin Sisi also made a decision.

Seeing that everyone else had agreed to go back, even though Wu Zhixin was still afraid, she eventually agreed with a pitiful expression on her face.

When Liu Chuan and the others went back, the skeleton carriage had already reached the place where they had eaten and rested.

The skeletal carriage seemed to have some intelligence. Seeing them return, it actually stopped its advance.

“Neigh, neigh~”

The two skeletal warhorses neighed, as if they were urging them of something.

At this moment, Liu Chuan was standing at the front. Wu Zhixin was holding Lin Sisi’s arm while cowering at the back.

“Brother Chuan, don’t you know beast language? What are they saying?” Monkey was no longer afraid when he saw the carriage stop. Instead, he nudged Liu Chuan and asked.

Liu Chuan was speechless.

He was depressed. He had already said that he didn’t know beast language, so why didn’t they believe him?

“Aowu, aowu.” At that moment, a message from Dogshit sounded in Liu Chuan’s mind.

“They told us to get in the carriage.”

Liu Chuan immediately understood what the two skeletal warhorses meant. He didn’t expect Dogshit to understand them.

“Brother Chuan, you do understand beast language. Impressive.” Monkey gave Liu Chuan a thumbs up.

“Would you believe me if I said I really didn’t understand?”

“Do you think I believe you?”

Liu Chuan smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain himself.

Now, another problem was presented to everyone. Should they get into the carriage or not? This was a problem.

There was obviously something wrong with the carriage, but they could not escape now. Furthermore, the two skeletal warhorses were staring at them, as if they had no choice but to go up.

There was a long silence.

Boom!

The two skeletal warhorses seemed to have lost their patience, and their bodies began to burn with black flames. The temperature of the flames was frighteningly high, and the surrounding rocks seemed to be on fire. Liu Chuan and the others were forced to retreat quickly by the flames.

Then, the skeletal warhorse started howling at the crowd.

Monkey saw that the situation was not right and immediately shouted, “Go, go, go, let’s go. Boss Horses, don’t be anxious, Boss Horses.”

“Bosses, please put away your flames. We will get into the carriage now.”

Just as Monkey finished speaking, the two skeletal warhorses actually put away their flames. Even though there were only bones, everyone could see from their expressions that they seemed to be saying, “At least you know your place.”

“Come, let’s get in the carriage together.” Liu Chuan and the others had no choice but to get in the carriage first.

When they saw that Liu Chuan and the others obediently got onto the carriage, the two skeletal warhorses neighed again. Then, they turned around, starting to slowly head back.

“What should we do? Where are they taking us?”

“Why can’t I lift the curtain?”

“They’re not taking us to the netherworld, are they?”

“It’s over, it’s over. I still have so much delicious food that I haven’t had enough of yet.”

…

Monkey and Wu Zhixin were indeed jokers. As soon as they got into the car, they started howling.

Liu Chuan could not control it either. He had no idea what would happen in the future.

Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came.

In any case, it seemed quite safe now, so he decided to cultivate!

“Say, Brother Chuan, why are you still cultivating at a time like this? Have you gotten it wrong?”

There seemed to be a constant chattering sound from the carriage that moved further and further into the darkness…
