Train Survival: Can I get a treasure chest by touching my goddess?

At the other end of the village, Su Qingxuan stood at the door of a stone house, her expression not very pleasant.

Seeing Shen Wen approach, she stepped aside to clear the doorway and gestured with her chin towards the inside: "We've found the knights."

Shen Wen glanced inside.

The stone house was larger than the other rooms, but it was dimly lit, and only a blurry outline could be seen.

There were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, motionless.

Celia and Selena ran up from behind. Celia's hands were trembling, and Selena's face was as white as paper.

The two squeezed to the doorway to look inside, and then Celia covered her mouth.

The five female knights sat in a row, leaning against the wall.

Their eyes were open, their pupils were unfocused, drool dripped from the corners of their mouths, and their faces were expressionless.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn to shreds, and he was covered in filth.

Some people hugged their knees, some tilted their heads, and some mumbled incoherently, like puppets whose souls had been taken away.

There were seven male knights lying on the ground.

The body was stiff and missing parts all over its body.

His arm was missing a section, his leg was missing a section, there was a big hole in his chest, and half of his face was missing.

There were bite marks around the wound, with dense teeth marks. It didn't look like a wild beast, but more like a group of small creatures gnawing at it.

Celia stood in the doorway, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word. Selena had already turned around and was squatting on the ground, dry heaving.

Su Qingxuan glanced at Shen Wen and lowered her voice: "Those female knights are still conscious, but their spirits have been destroyed."

Shen Wen didn't say anything, and turned to walk back.

Celia followed behind, her voice hoarse: "Warriors, did you find anything?"

"The altar." Shen Wen said without turning his head. "There's a finger on it called the 'Beast God's Finger'."

Celia stopped abruptly.

Shen Wen turned to look at her. Celia's face went from pale to deathly white, the color drained from her lips, and her eyes began to redden.

"Beast God..." Her voice trembled, "Are the orcs going to attack the kingdom?"

Shen Wen frowned.

Celia took a deep breath, trying to calm her voice, but her fingers were still trembling: "The Beast God is the god of the orcs. Long ago, the orcs and the kingdom fought many great wars, but they were defeated every time."

Later, the orcs retreated to the northern wastelands, and the kingdom ceased its pursuit.

There has been no war for many years.

She looked at Shen Wen, her eyes red as if about to bleed: "The goblins suddenly went berserk, the entire knight order was wiped out, and the Beast God's finger appeared here..."

This is a sign that the orcs are about to launch a major war.

Shen Wen did not respond.

Celia took a step forward, her voice urgent: "Warrior, that finger must be taken back and given to Her Majesty the Queen."

Only Her Majesty the Queen and the High Priest of the Court know how to dispose of the Beast God's relics.

Shen Wen looked at her without saying anything.

Celia panicked: "Warrior—"

"These are my spoils. The mission only said to investigate the source of the goblin rampage, not to bring the source back."

Celia opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Shen Wen makes a good point.

The mission did not actually require the retrieval of the Beast God's finger; it only required an investigation into the cause.

Shen Wen found and dealt with the finger himself; it had nothing to do with her.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her voice: "The warrior is right. I overstepped my bounds."

She reached into her bosom and pulled out two ancient books that gleamed faintly, handing them to Shen Wen.

[Ability Book - Frost Impact (Iron Grade)]

[Ability: Bloodlust (Iron Grade)]

Shen Wen took it, didn't look at it closely, and put it in his pocket.

Shen Wen took it.

Celia turned to look at Selena and gently nudged her sister's shoulder.

Selena walked out from behind Shen Wen, her face still a little pale, but much better than before.

She lowered her head and presented two ancient books to Shen Wen with both hands.

[Ability Book - Iron Skin (Black Iron Grade)]

[Ability Book - Spirit Eye (Iron Grade)]

"This is... mine."

Shen Wen accepted it.

Not finished yet.

Selena and Celia removed another bronze badge from their necks. The front of the badge was engraved with a shield and crossed swords, while the back bore the kingdom's emblem.

[Order of the Kingdom (Iron Level)]

Finally, there were two more items. Each woman pulled out a card, and Celia said, "With these, you can go to the Knights' Guild and try to become a true knight!"

Shen Wen took the card and listened to Celia's explanation.

This sequence guide is slightly inferior to the bronze-level one he obtained, which can be directly converted into a sequence.

The task still needs to be completed.

Shen Wen glanced at the time.

[Distance until end of stop: 00:35:00]

"Only thirty-five minutes left." He frowned. "Use docking delay."

He tapped on the panel.

[The stop delay has taken effect, extending the stop time by 60 minutes.]

[Distance until end of stop: 01:35:00]

"We only have half an hour left to get back, otherwise we won't make it in time." Shen Wen looked at the three women, "Take as much as you can."

The three women nodded and dispersed.

Shen Wen returned to the stone house at the altar, stared at the severed finger of the beast god for two seconds, then used a strip of cloth to tuck it into his pocket.

This must be a good thing. Anyway, he won't be affected by it, so I'll keep it for now.

Behind the altar, there was also an iron box, covered in rust.

He pried open the lock, and inside were three bottles of attribute potions, two dark red gems identical to those on the goblin priest's scepter, and a roll of yellowed animal hide.

Shen Wen put them all away.

Su Mu ran over from the other end of the village, carrying a cloth bag in her hand.

"What did you find?" Shen Wen asked.

Su Mu opened the cloth bag, inside were several bottles of potions and a book of abilities.

Su Qingxuan came out of a stone house, holding a wooden box in her hands.

Jiang Youchu followed behind her, carrying a large pile of things in her arms.

"It's almost time." He glanced at the panel.

[Distance until end of stop: 00:45:00]

"Walk."

Without another word, the four ran out of the village, with Celia and the other two following closely behind.

The rain is still falling, but it's less than before.

The muddy path in the forest was trampled into a mess, and every step was slippery.

Shen Wen ran in the lead, his scimitar tucked into his waistband, and an SKS rifle in his hand.

Su Mu followed behind him, a spear slung over his shoulder, his steps lighter than Su Mu's, barely making a sound when he landed.

Su Qingxuan was in third place, her spatial backpack was full of things, and it made a slight clattering sound as she ran.

Jiang Youchu was running at the back, panting heavily, her raincoat torn in several places by tree branches.

Perhaps Shen Wen and his group killed too many people, or perhaps Shen Wen took the Beast God's Finger with him, so no goblins blocked their way.

Forty minutes later, the edge of the forest came into view.

The train was still standing there, its doors open, the lights inside standing out brightly in the hazy rain.

"Warrior!" Celia took two steps, then stopped. "That Beast God's finger is dangerous. If handled improperly, it could cause you to lose your mind."

He nodded, said nothing, turned and jumped onto the train.

Su Mu was the second to jump up, Su Qingxuan was the third, and Jiang Youchu was the last.

[Distance until end of stop: 00:03:00]

Shen Wen closed the car door, leaned against the door panel, and let out a long sigh.

The train slowly started moving, the rhythmic sound of its wheels rolling over the rails echoing through the carriages.

He took off his raincoat and threw it on the ground; it was soaked through, and rainwater dripped down the hem.

He was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of Su Mu and the other two's movements out of the corner of his eye.

They were also taking off their raincoats.

But it didn't stop.

Su Mu tossed the raincoat aside, grabbed the hem of the garment, and lifted it up.

She ripped off her soaking wet T-shirt, revealing her black underwear underneath.

Rainwater streamed down her neck, sliding along the curve of her collarbone into the deep cleavage, glistening under the lamplight.

Shen Wen's eyelids twitched.

Su Qingxuan acted even faster than he had imagined.

She had her back to him, had already taken off her top, and was bending down to unbutton her pants.

The beige bra was cinched at her back, clearly showing the outline of her shoulder blades. Her waist was extremely slender, and her figure was curvy.

Jiang Youchu was standing at the very back when she got stuck halfway through taking off her clothes.

The T-shirt was soaked through and shriveled up, wrapped around my head and I couldn't pull it off. It exposed a large area of ​​my waist and flat stomach, and my bra was stretched out of shape, with the edges digging into my flesh.

"This tattered clothing—" Her voice was muffled by the fabric.

Shen Wen stood there, his throat dry.

He tried to look away, but his eyes wouldn't obey.

Su Mu noticed his gaze and paused in her actions.

She turned her head to the side, her ear tips visibly red, but she didn't flinch. She simply lowered her eyelashes, folded the wet clothes in her hand, and placed them on the box next to her.

Su Qingxuan straightened up and glanced back at Shen Wen.

Under Su Qingxuan's gaze, Shen Wenqian coughed and finally looked away.

But all I could think about was the image of the rainwater flowing down the gullies.

The white was dazzling, the wet clothes clung to her body, outlining her figure, and there was a section of her waist and abdomen exposed under the T-shirt that Jiang Youchu had stuck on her head, as well as her huge breasts.

It's safe to say that Jiang Youchu probably has the best figure among the three women.

He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to banish those images from his mind.

"Let's talk about the gains first."

Su Mu had already put on a dry set of clothes, but her hair was still wet, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks.

She didn't look at Shen Wen, but squatted down and took things out of the cloth bag.

Three attribute potions and a power book that glows with a dark red light.

"Ability Book - Fiery Blade, Black Iron Grade." She stacked the items on the ground. "The potions are all for constitution."

Su Qingxuan opened the wooden box, inside which lay two blueprints.

"The fine iron spear and the goblin scimitar are both of the black iron grade."

She paused for a moment, then said, "The fine iron spear is much stronger than the wooden spears we used before. The goblin scimitar you have is one of them; it's a pretty good one among the black iron grade."

Jiang Youchu put down the bottles and jars in her arms: five bottles of attribute potions, a cloth bag, and a blueprint.

"They're all constitution-enhancing potions." She unfolded the blueprint. "Refined iron scimitar, black iron grade."

Shen Wen took out two dark red gems from his pocket.

Brighter than the one on the Goblin Priest's Scepter, its interior seemed to contain a flowing fire, gleaming with a deep, eerie light under the carriage lights.

"Found it in the iron box behind the altar." He placed the gem on the ground. "It should be like the thing on that scepter, capable of amplifying spell damage."

He then took out the yellowed animal hide and unfolded it.

It is covered with intricate patterns, the lines twisted, like some kind of ancient array.

Jiang Youchu leaned closer to take a look, and the screen popped up—

[Unknown Beast Hide (Unknown): Contains fragments of some kind of summoning ritual; materials are incomplete and cannot be deciphered.]

Jiang Youchu leaned closer to take a look, and the screen popped up—

[Unknown Beast Hide (Unknown): Contains fragments of some kind of summoning ritual; materials are incomplete and cannot be deciphered.]

"This thing, like the Beast God's Finger, only has a name." Jiang Youchu frowned, and Shen Wencai remembered the Beast God's Finger in his arms.

"This thing is a bit eerie, don't touch it!"

Shen Wen took out the Beast God Finger and threw it into the storage room, planning to take it out again when it would be useful.
