Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 630 The Strange Giant Rock on the Mountain Top

Since the exposed mountaintop was still quite high, the two of them slowly and leisurely climbed upwards.

We walked and stopped frequently, and it took about an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

Once you reach the top of the mountain, a breathtaking view unfolds before you.

"I'm exhausted, we finally made it to the top!" Xiao Yue said to Chu Chen as she plopped down on the ground after reaching the summit.

Chu Chen smiled and sat down beside her, thinking to himself that Xiao Yue didn't have any martial arts skills, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't tired. But it was different for him. If he hadn't been with Xiao Yue, he could have come up here in no time.

After sitting down, Chu Chen patted Xiao Yue while looking around. He saw a huge flat area on the top of the mountain.

There aren't many trees on the mountain, probably because the wind was strong before and the trees couldn't grow.

But the next moment, a huge rock caught his attention.

So he turned to Xiao Yue and asked, "What is that?"

Xiao Yue followed Chu Chen's finger and looked in the direction he pointed: "You mean that rock? I don't know either. I've only been up here once!"

After listening, Chu Chen stood up and walked towards the stone.

From a distance, the rock didn't look very big, but when Chu Chen got closer, he realized that it wasn't a rock at all, but a small hill!

So he turned to Xiao Yue with a puzzled look and asked, "Why didn't you think of coming here to reclaim the land back then?"

"I've thought about it, but look at this place, there's absolutely no water source. If we clear the land, it's impossible for any plants to grow!"

After saying that, Xiao Yue pointed to the low grass on the mountaintop and said, "Even such strong grass can't grow here, let alone food that can sustain human life. So, we gave up on this place back then, thinking that we could build houses here after everyone settled down!"

Actually, for Xiao Yue and her group, building a house wasn't necessarily a good thing, mainly because there was no water source.

If you want to dig a well along the mountaintop, I don't have the energy or the idea right now.

Chu Chen nodded after listening, then turned around and looked at the small rocky hill in front of him. It was completely black and nothing grew on it.

No wonder, Xiao Yue and the others all thought it was just a big rock.

Chu Chen turned to Xiao Yue and said "wait," then reached out his hand and climbed several times to the top of the mountain.

Only after reaching the top of Xiaoshishan did he get a clear view of everything on the platform.

This mountain is actually divided into two parts.

The situation was somewhat similar to that on the summit of the snow-capped mountain. The mountain they were on was a flat area, but in the distance, he could see a volcanic crater.

The situation is similar; the crater is no longer erupting, leaving only a patch of black rocks and volcanic ash. It is still possible to tell that this place was once a volcanic crater.

The small rocky hill where I was standing was about twenty square meters in size, and its surface was so smooth and flat that it looked as if it had been cut with a knife.

Chu Chen quietly observed everything beneath his feet. He noticed that the stones were square, but not quite regular in shape.

There was nothing on the stone.

After watching for a while, he lost interest and, with a few leaps, arrived beside Xiao Yue.

He was considering this vacant lot; if possible, he would like to make use of it.

The land was used for human habitation, and the issue of water was not a major problem for Chu Chen.

Surrounded by a vast expanse of water, he could easily pump it out. Although it's uncertain whether the water is seawater, he could always filter it if necessary.

Even if the seawater below is unusable, he can still drill a well.

If none of these work, the water in his space is enough for his entire family to survive.

Living on a boat year-round is ultimately not a sustainable solution; humanity will eventually have to return to land.

However, it was this large rock that he couldn't quite figure out.

Who would be so bored as to put such a large rock on this? Because the top of the rock is so flat and smooth, he couldn't help but suspect that it was all done by human hands.

"Chu Chen, what did you find?"

Xiao Yue looked at Chu Chen, who was quietly thinking, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I just saw that over there, which is actually a volcanic crater. The melting of the ice and snow is also related to that volcanic crater!"

"Volcano? You mean the Flaming Mountains?"

Xiao Yue was a little confused, as she had never heard of the word "volcano" before.

"Well, you could say that, it's a mountain that can breathe fire!"

"Alright, why don't you go downstairs and wait for me? I want to go take a look over there!"

Chu Chen looked at Xiao Yue, then at the direction of the crater, and spoke.

Xiao Yue knew exactly what Chu Chen meant. Given Chu Chen's strength, she was at best a burden.

"Okay, in that case, be careful, I'll wait for you downstairs!"

After saying that, Xiao Yue turned and headed down the mountain.

After Xiao Yue left, Chu Chen headed towards the crater. He wanted to verify whether the volcano was dead. If it was still active, then all their land reclamation efforts would be meaningless.

If he erupts again, the threat to them will still exist, so it's better for them to live on the water.

The mountain isn't far away, but Xiao Yue can't see it because the crater is slightly higher than this place!

When they came up to the top of the mountain, they found there was no water, so they stopped paying attention to it.

Otherwise, they would have discovered this volcano long ago.

Chu Chen soon arrived at the edge of the crater. For safety's sake, he was prepared to enter the space at any time.

Only then did they slowly approach the crater!

After a while, Chu Chen stood on the edge of the crater and let out a sigh of relief!

The volcano has long since ceased activity, and the ground is entirely covered with hardened rocks that feel icy cold to the touch, devoid of any warmth.

This once again confirmed Chu Chen's idea that this so-called divine punishment was a one-time event.

After viewing the crater, Chu Chen returned the way he came and walked towards the huge rock.

After looking around for a while and seeing that no one was around, Chu Chen took out an excavator with a thought.

This stone is so strange that he decided to study it carefully.

Since there are no traces on the top and around, let's dig down and take a look at the bottom to see if there's anything different.

With the excavator's powerful force, a two-meter-deep pit was dug out in no time.

But as Chu Chen dug down the rock with a small entrenching tool, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

The large rock wasn't placed on top; it was stuck into the ground!
