Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1131 Reaching the Depths, the Temple Appears

"Did you notice that thing had a thick iron chain around its neck?"

After Chu Chen said that, Mu Qiu calmed down.

Indeed, there was a thick iron chain around the neck of this enormous tiger-wolf beast.

That would mean that this thing was kept in captivity.

"One more thing, the first time it pounced on me, although it looked aggressive, it didn't really mean to kill me."

"If it wants to kill me, even if I cut off one of its fingers, given its speed, it won't just roll over, but will casually strike me and I'll be dead!"

The two men sat on the ground, panting and smoking.

After hearing Chu Chen's words, Mu Qiu began to ponder the matter.

Someone is raising them in captivity. Who could be capable of raising such a ferocious, large beast in captivity?

Also, when I first entered that temple, there was only one bald monk chasing after me and attacking me, but he didn't try to kill me.

If it had sent out that thing back then, I wouldn't be alive today.

"Never mind, the truth will come out when we get to that temple. Let's go!"

After finishing a cigarette, Mu Qiu shook his head, then got up and walked straight ahead.

Chu Chen smiled slightly. Yes, he had seen everything over the years. Once they arrived at that temple, perhaps the truth would come to light.

A month later, the two sat leisurely on a large rock beside a stream, eating meat and drinking wine.

Just like before, this month saw a constant stream of venomous insects and ferocious beasts, both large and small.

Until now, the two suddenly realized that it seemed as if all the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts had vanished and never appeared again.

And that giant tiger-wolf never appeared again.

So the two of them sat down and leisurely ate and drank.

"Late autumn, counting the days, there's only one month left, it should be almost here."

"That's right. In five days at most, we will see a large basin. After crossing the basin, we will reach the temple."

"basin?"

"Yes, it's a basin, it stretches as far as the eye can see, but there's nothing on it except for low grass and normal cattle and sheep."

Chu Chen nodded after listening.

It seems that this is the buffer zone between the temple and the black mountain.

Most of these wild animals are mindless creatures, and the temple probably didn't want to be disturbed.

This means that the two are about to cross a dangerous section.

While the two were eating, drinking, and enjoying their leisure time, inside the temple, two bald monks were roasting a sheep.

Beside them, the enormous tiger-wolf creature was riddled with holes burned through its body, and it was now the only remaining breath of life, indicating that it was still alive.

"Who are you? When it came back, it was still on fire."

The envoy, his body partially obscured, looked at the person roasting the lamb and spoke.

"That's right. I don't know what weapon he used, but the fire was like it couldn't be extinguished. It would go out and then start burning again, until it burned through his body."

The envoy was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, it seems I've struck gold."

"Alright, you two should get rid of this stuff. Counting the days, they should be here in a month. Get rid of this stuff so they don't see you two bald monks eating roast lamb."

After saying this, the messenger disappeared from their sight again.

After the messenger left, the two turned to look at the giant tiger-wolf beast. One of them picked up a knife, walked to its side, and plunged the knife into its throat.

Then, looking at the dead tiger and wolf beast, he revealed an excited, silly grin.

"Alright, alright, come and eat, it'll get cold soon, and we can't get out of here anyway, what are you getting so worked up about!"

"Oh dear, so many years have passed. We've been in this land for so many years, have we sent anyone out? Even though we can't leave, it's still nice to send people out!"

After saying that, the man returned to the fire, tore off a leg of lamb, and began to chew it heartily.

Monks eating meat? Haha, try being trapped here for tens of thousands of years and you'll be so bored you'll want to try everything.

The next morning, Chu Chen took out two sets of clothes and he and Mu Qiu each changed into one set.

"Let's go. If what you're saying is true, then the days ahead will be much more peaceful. Let's drive there."

Ten days later, in the vast basin, on a boundless plain, a dark armored vehicle was speeding along.

Inside the armored vehicle, Mu Qiu rested his feet on the dashboard in the passenger seat, a cigarette dangling from his lips, listening to the music playing in the car.

"Hey kid, you always manage to come up with things I never thought of. Who is this person? They're making all sorts of noises, and although I can't understand them, they sing really well!"

"Why do you care so much? I told you to learn to drive, but you wouldn't."

"What? You want to drive? You can drive yourself. I know the saying 'learn before you fall in' and 'get tired'."

With the aid of the armored vehicle, the two were dozens of times faster.

What should have been a 25-day journey was completed on the third day when the two crossed the basin and arrived at the foot of another mountain.

After Chu Chen and Mu Qiu got out of the car, Chu Chen waved his hand to put the car into his spatial storage, then pointed to the mountain: "The temple you mentioned is halfway up the mountain?"

"That's right, let's go, at our pace we should arrive by noon!"

After finishing his sentence, Mu Qiu took the lead and started climbing up the mountain.

Two hours later, a steep staircase appeared before Chu Chen and his companion, seemingly soaring into the sky.

At the end of the stairs, everything was shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen.

Chu Chen put down his binoculars and then replaced the ammunition box for white phosphorus bullets in his machine gun.

"Has this temple changed? Now it doesn't look like it's halfway up the mountain, but rather in the sky."

"Stop talking nonsense. You'll see in a moment. Once you get past that foggy area, everything will suddenly clear up."

Chu Chen didn't continue speaking, but instead took the first step up the stairs.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen's legs were trembling. At this moment, they had arrived outside the fog.

Looking at the countless steps beneath my feet, I thought to myself, "If someone with a fear of heights comes along, they'll probably be so scared they'll tumble down."

"Muqiu, when you ran away back then, did you roll straight down from here?"

Exhausted, Chu Chen and Mu Qiu plopped down on the steps and chatted, trying to break the tension.

Indeed, after a six-month journey, they were finally about to reach their destination, and both of them were extremely nervous.

They weren't afraid of any powerful enemies inside; they were more afraid of disappointment.

That is, they fear that the void gate here is also an illusion.

"Get lost, my old man..."

Just as the two were tacitly trying to ease each other's tension, suddenly, the fog behind them completely dissipated.
