Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 631 The Stone Grows Inside the Mountain

Unwilling to give up, Chu Chen climbed back onto the excavator and dug deeper into the soil next to the rock.

Chu Chen was busy until nightfall before he finally stopped.

Because at this moment, he had already descended to about ten meters underground from the stone, but the stone remained the same, as if it had grown into the mountain.

So he had no choice but to give up, put away the excavator, and head down the mountain after leaving the pit.

If we don't go back soon, Xiao Yue will probably start to worry.

After descending the mountain, Xiao Yue came up to him: "How was it, Chu Chen!"

"It's alright. I'll continue to check the mountain tomorrow. Let's leave it at that for today!"

Seeing Chu Chen say this, Xiao Yue stopped asking questions and instead gently took his hand, leading him into the cargo ship's cabin.

"Come on, I've prepared some good food and wine for you. Let's have a few drinks tonight!"

"Okay, let's have a few drinks!" After saying that, Chu Chen and she went to a dining table and started drinking together.

Xiao Yue looked at Chu Chen through the lights on the transport ship, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

"Chu Chen, there is no land outside anymore. Why don't you bring all your men to the northern frontier? Or you can come alone. We can build a hut together on the platform and keep each other company."

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You're really thinking big!"

However, if you don't have a good time at the gathering point in Qingyun City, this place is still a good alternative.

Who can say for sure what the future holds?

However, this was not the time to agree to her request, so he said, "Not yet. For the sake of human survival, I still have to go out and search!"

"Use your flying thing?"

"That's right, only it can take me to farther places, and only I can help all of humanity find a more suitable place to live."

Xiao Yue nodded after listening. She couldn't refute it because everything Chu Chen said was true.

I wanted to go along and keep you company, but even a fool could tell how arduous the journey would be, and my presence would only be a hindrance!

"Alright, I know you have lofty ambitions, so I won't ask anything of you. I only ask that you have time to return to Saibei City and take a break!"

After a hearty meal and drinks, the two had a deep conversation before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Chu Chen got up early, said goodbye to Xiao Yue, and drove a speedboat on a transport ship alone towards the mountain from the previous day.

Furthermore, he asked Xiao Yue for some people to block off the mountaintop, ensuring that no one could go up and disturb him.

Although Xiao Yue didn't know what he was doing, she always unconditionally supported Chu Chen's words.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Chu Chen displayed his formidable strength, and soon, to the astonishment of the pioneers, he reached the platform.

After observing that no one was around, Chu Chen waved his hand and released several hundred machine gunners, instructing them to guard the foot of the mountain and prevent anyone from coming up.

After doing all this, Chu Chen went to the bottom of the big rock, looked at the deep pit he had dug the day before, and fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, this mountain is not a rocky mountain; the appearance of this rock is too abrupt.

A rock growing on the top of a hill is rather strange if it wasn't man-made.

But if it was done by human hands, that would be incredible. What kind of power would it take to move such a huge rock here?

After a moment's thought, Chu Chen deployed about ten excavators and about ten machine gunners!

At our current rate of digging, it's too slow. So, if the people in this space are usable, then we should make good use of them.

With the roar of engines, a dozen or so excavators drove toward the rocks.

They started digging in the soil next to the stone.

Chu Chen took out a chair and table, made himself a cup of tea, and quietly watched them do their homework.

Chu Chen was determined to dig out this rock; he was determined not to give up until he got it out.

For three consecutive days, the roar of excavators could be heard on the mountaintop. Then, early on the fourth day, all the excavators suddenly stopped.

A machine gunner jumped off the excavator and came to Chu Chen's side: "Young Master, go and see what's going on!"

"Oh, you dug it out?" Chu Chen's face lit up with joy. He put down his teacup and headed towards the deep pit.

"No, young master, it's very strange. I doubt we can dig it out!"

Inside the deep pit, the machine gunner spoke coldly to Chu Chen, who also looked worried!

The large rock had been dug out to a depth of about 20 meters, and apart from the soil, it was smooth and straight, stuck into the mountainside.

Moreover, at this moment, something resembling a knife ring appeared on the stone, extending to both sides!

Chu Chen squatted down, reached out and touched the stone, finding its surface smooth and its touch icy cold.

"Could this be a sword?"

While expressing his doubts, he ordered the excavator to start working.

So, half a day later, a long section of the stone emerged.

The part that emerged from the ground was clearly shaped like a knife handle, while the blade or sword was stuck straight into the soil.

Chu Chen was completely stunned. It confirmed his previous suspicion that this thing was man-made!

But who exactly has such great ability to insert something with a handle over twenty meters long directly into a mountain?

Chu Chen placed his hand on the stone, intending to put it into his spatial storage, but then stopped himself.

Who knows what kind of demons or monsters are being suppressed beneath this thing!

If something goes wrong and I release it, wouldn't that destroy the whole world?

It seems we still need to find Shenxu and have a deep conversation with him to find out what other things in this world are still unknown to humankind.

Seeing the section of the knife handle standing outside, Chu Chen flew to a distance and took out his phone to snap a series of photos.

After filming, he ordered the machine gunners, "Backfill! Backfill all the soil!"

Machine gunners don't have much autonomy or emotion; they just do whatever their master tells them to do!

Immediately afterwards, the roar of the machines came out again, and the backfilling was very fast. By the next day, the stones had returned to their previous state.

The ground was covered with only some traces of digging.

After doing all this, Chu Chen stared intently at the stone in front of him, then turned around helplessly and headed down the mountain.

It seems that living here is probably not a realistic option.

This thing alone carries too many unpredictable dangers; who knows what other trouble it might cause one day?
