Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 370 A Channel Appears in the National Treasury

With a wave of his hand, Chu Chen collected all the boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

This fortress-like treasury, from the outside, looks only the size of a small burial mound.

To my surprise, the interior was surprisingly large.

"It seems that the national treasury of this large country is much larger than that of the small country."

Chu Chen sighed as he packed up the things.

Indeed, this is more than one or two times larger than the national treasury of Japan.

With so much gold and silver, if we could capture a city, we could greatly improve the people's living standards.

Treasure is never a burden, and since I've come across it, there's no reason for me to let it go.

They worked inside for a full hour before collecting all the gold and silver treasures.

"Wait, something's not right. Where's the jade essence? Could Zhou Shixun be lying to me?"

Chu Chen looked at the empty walls and asked in confusion.

Because the entire treasury was lit with candles, it did not appear particularly dark.

Unconvinced, Chu Chen pulled out another flashlight and carefully examined the wall.

Since Rhodo was able to build the treasury underground, there might be other compartments as well.

But after shining the flashlight around, they still found nothing.

"Oh right, there are lights in here!" Chu Chen suddenly thought of a possibility.

The power of light is only truly revealed in darkness.

He then wandered around the room, and soon Chu Chen turned off all the lights.

Then, scanning the area, he noticed a sliver of light shining through a crack in the ground.

"Haha, how could you make the stone slab floor tiles look so seamless?"

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen went to the light, then took out a dagger and stuck it into the crevice.

With a forceful pry, they successfully pried open a stone door installed on the ground.

With his tenth-grade strength, he opened the stone door effortlessly and then leaped into the warehouse below.

Upon entering, Chu Chen was stunned. The room was filled with neatly arranged emerald green jade stones, more than he had ever seen anywhere else.

"Hahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich!" Chu Chen shouted excitedly while frantically collecting the jade essence.

It took two full hours to finally collect all the jade essence inside into the space.

At this moment, Chu Chen had the urge to immediately go into the space to check. With so much jade essence filling it, the entire city would probably have been created.

But now is not the time to check. Let's look around some more; maybe we can find something else.

Using the same method as before, turn off all the lights.

Sure enough, another ray of light was found on the wall.

After pushing open a heavy stone door, Chu Chen looked at the contents of the storeroom in front of him with some surprise.

The room was filled with shelves, and a strong aroma of medicine wafted out.

"Wow, is this a traditional Chinese medicine shop located underground?"

Chu Chen looked around for a while and saw that apart from ginseng and other things he recognized, he didn't know what the rest were.

However, adhering to the principle of taking advantage of every passing moment, Chu Chen still put all of these things into his spatial storage.

They used the same trick again, turning off all the lights in the room.

After finding a faint glimmer of light, Chu Chen pushed open another stone door.

This time, however, he was somewhat disappointed, for a passage appeared ahead.

Lights were lit on both sides of the passage, and the ground was paved with bluestone slabs. Judging from the wear and tear on the slabs, people must come here often.

Chu Chen turned off the flashlight and walked towards the passage.

After walking for a few minutes, suddenly, they heard people talking ahead.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately leaped upwards and reached the top of the passage in one go.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came, so he stepped forward again.

As you walk, a staircase leading upwards appears in the passageway.

"Is this the exit? Where does it lead?"

Chu Chen wondered to himself, but he couldn't stop himself from climbing the steps.

When they reached the end, they found a door blocking their way.

The door was made of wood and didn't look very sturdy. Chu Chen took out his dagger and stuck it into the crack in the door.

When I knocked on the outside door and pushed it open, a burst of bright sunlight streamed in.

After coming out, Chu Chen looked around and almost dropped his jaw in astonishment.

"Holy crap, this is Rhodes' council chamber?"

The so-called council hall was Chu Chen's designation, just like the Golden Palace used by Zhou Shixun of the Great Xia Dynasty when he held court.

It was the place where the ministers and the emperor discussed matters.

What would be the purpose of digging a tunnel here to reach the fortress?

But in an instant, Chu Chen thought of a possibility, because the place he came out of was the main seat in the main hall.

This may be the place where King Rhodo sought refuge in case of unforeseen circumstances.

If that's the case, then this underground treasury must have other outlets.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen quietly retreated back into the passage and placed several hand grenades at the entrance using thin wires.

They then returned the way they came, back to the area below the fortress.

"Where is the exit?" Chu Chen looked around at the walls in confusion.

“If King Rhodo were to encounter an emergency and enter this fortress and want to escape, he certainly wouldn’t choose to go up to the first floor and exit through the fortress entrance.”

"In that case, the most urgent passage must be in these stone chambers on the second basement level."

"Since there's no light, let's use the slowest method."

After saying that, Chu Chen produced a claw hammer in his hand and slowly struck the wall.

After knocking on the entire passage, no hollow sounds were found.

Undeterred, Chu Chen went into the room where the medicinal herbs were stored and busied himself with the task again.

As luck would have it, Chu Chen stuck his butt out and landed squarely on a shelf where medicinal herbs had been placed.

The shelf not only didn't fall over, but it also smoothly rotated a short distance.

"Hmm, something's weird about this thing."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen put away the claw hammer and pushed it towards the frame.

Unexpectedly, this push caused a beam of light to appear on the wall to the right.

"Haha, so this is where it is."

Chu Chen quickly pushed the shelf open, and instantly, a light-filled opening appeared before his eyes.

Chu Chen flew forward and quickly walked along the passage. It took him the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he finally saw the end of the passage.

Just like the layout of Rhodes's Great Hall, there appeared an ascending staircase.

As Chu Chen climbed the steps, he saw a hidden door.

Chu Chen pushed the door open a crack, took out a phone, plugged in a plug-and-play camera, and stuck it out.

Soon after, the outside scene appeared on the phone.

There were two soldiers guarding the gate.

Directly in front of the wooden door stood a luxurious carriage.

After a moment's thought, Chu Chen put away the camera and turned back into the stone chamber.
