Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1041 Skeletons Found in the Royal Underground Palace

Chu Chen joked and headed straight into the tunnel.

Under the bright light of the flashlight, everything inside the tunnel came into view.

The entire tunnel was constructed of large stone slabs, making it appear exceptionally sturdy.

Moreover, I don't know what they used, but the inside doesn't feel damp.

After walking about twenty or thirty meters, Chu Chen arrived at a platform, which was the end of the passage.

Wherever the flashlight shone, it glowed with golden light. Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Chen took out countless lights and illuminated the entire basement brightly.

At this moment, the entire underground palace appeared before Chu Chen's eyes. The walls were all made of gold paint, and even after a hundred years, it still looked magnificent.

In the southwest corner of the underground palace, a wall appeared before Chu Chen's eyes. On the wall, there was still a door with a large lock on it.

Apart from these, the entire underground palace was completely empty.

Seeing this, Chu Chen drew his longsword, which could cut through anything, and walked over. With one strike, he pried open the padlock.

After pushing open the door and looking at the lights, a skeleton sitting cross-legged appeared before Chu Chen's eyes.

In his hand, he was holding a walkie-talkie.

This made Chu Chen's mouth drop open in surprise. He thought to himself, "Could this be that guy Lan Pengyun?"

The skeleton was located next to a wooden bed. Perhaps because the underground palace was dry, there were no signs of complete weathering, let alone the walkie-talkie.

Chu Chen took out a powerful light bulb, which immediately illuminated the entire room.

Then he carefully examined every corner of the room.

But after looking around, they found nothing but the walkie-talkie in the skeleton's hand.

Chu Chen shone a flashlight all over the walls, but found no useful written information.

Chu Chen frowned in confusion upon seeing this, wondering what this guy was up to.

At this moment, he still couldn't be sure of the identity of this skeleton, because even if he had a walkie-talkie in his hand, it wouldn't prove that he was Lan Pengyun or not.

Just as he had been wandering around for about half an hour, preparing to go out and see if there were any traces left outside.

Suddenly, he accidentally bumped into the bed, and his skeleton scattered with a clatter.

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. But your posture isn't right, so it's easy for your body to fall apart."

As Chu Chen spoke, he walked towards the skeleton, intending to gather it up. If necessary, he would put it in a box.

Humans generally believe in the importance of being buried in peace, so leaving it exposed here seems somewhat inappropriate.

However, when he approached the skeletons again, he discovered something new.

Where the skeleton sat, there was a wooden plank with four cracks.

"Holy crap, there's a hidden compartment here."

Chu Chen didn't care about anything else. He carefully used his longsword to move the skeleton aside, then took out a dagger and stuck it into the crevice.

With a strong pry, a thick wooden board was lifted up.

Ignoring the dirt, Chu Chen immediately picked up the wooden board and placed it aside, then turned on his flashlight and shone it into the hidden compartment.

A somewhat rusty iron box appeared in the hidden compartment.

Chu Chen was overjoyed upon seeing this and reached out to take out the iron box.

Picking up the iron box, Chu Chen went straight outside the room. To be honest, it didn't feel right to be just sitting there with that skeleton.

Inside the underground palace, Chu Chen waved his hand and took out a set of table and chairs. Then he turned on the lamp and focused his attention on the iron box on the table.

The metal box was rusty, and in some places the rust had even penetrated through.

Chu Chen opened the iron box without breaking a sweat.

After opening the metal box, Chu Chen saw another metal box that was completely sealed.

This box is even more exquisitely made, with no visible gaps.

It seems the owner intended to preserve the contents of this place permanently; otherwise, they wouldn't have done it this way.

Moreover, judging from the welding technique, it is not a modern method. Instead, it looks like molten iron was directly glued on, just like how pots were repaired in that era.

Chu Chen picked up his longsword and sliced ​​off one side of the iron box as easily as cutting tofu.

Looking into the iron box through the light, Chu Chen saw an exquisitely crafted wooden box.

Above the wooden box hangs a delicate little lock.

After Chu Chen picked up the wooden box and examined it, he discovered that there were rows of small characters engraved on the bottom.

Chu Chen immediately took out a magnifying glass and began to examine it.

I saw it written above.

"This is top secret. Anyone who opens it without authorization will die from poisoning."

Looking at the plain language above, Chu Chen smiled slightly. He was now 90% certain that the skeleton was Lan Pengyun.

Otherwise, who else could write such sentences?

Chu Chen didn't believe in such nonsense, so he picked up the dagger and pried open the small lock.

However, just as the lid was opened, a mechanism inside was triggered, and a small arrow shot straight towards Chu Chen's face.

"Holy crap, Lan Pengyun, you idiot, you're serious!"

As a Saint Realm expert, how could he be afraid of this little thing? Chu Chen dodged the arrow in a flash.

Upon picking up the arrow, they saw that it was blackened, indicating that it had indeed been poisoned.

However, at the very moment Chu Chen drew the arrow, far away outside Chu Tianwai...

On a large rock in the void, a palace appeared out of the ordinary. Inside the palace, two old men sat facing each other.

"Hehe, did your seed survive?"

"He's alive! He's alive! And he's doing quite well! All my years of hard work haven't been in vain!"

"Hehe, don't let it be like before, where the seed didn't even get planted, but the eyes were pecked out instead!"

"Hahaha, you think you can underestimate me!"

After speaking, the old man waved his hand behind him, and a pretty young woman came and poured tea for the two of them.

The girl's facial expression was like that of a walking corpse. After pouring the tea, she turned and left.

If Chu Chen were here right now, he would probably be speechless with surprise.

This expressionless girl was none other than the Fourth Miss, whom everyone in the entire Chenqi Kingdom believed to be dead.

"Hey old man, can't you do something good? Erasing someone's memory while simultaneously improving their cultivation, what exactly are you up to?"

"Haha, you don't understand. Sometimes, a small action can have different consequences."

After saying that, the old man picked up the tea in his cup, chuckled, and took a sip.

After confirming that there was no more danger inside the box, Chu Chen used his longsword to cut off the entire lid.

However, when he looked inside the box, he shouted, "Holy crap!"
