Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1232: Treasures in the Barren Land

Once inside the Long Knife Gang's compound, the old woman immediately removed her disguise, transforming into a capable-looking woman.

Then, she went to Chu Chen's room and gently knocked on the door.

"Elder, I've brought you some fresh tea!"

Upon hearing the noise, Chu Chen dismissed all the servants inside.

After opening the door and welcoming the woman in, she carefully took a teacup directly from his table.

"We weren't discovered, were we?"

"Please rest assured, Elder, they will not be able to detect it. I will come again tomorrow!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Number Two!"

"Elder, you flatter me. Number Two takes his leave!"

After the woman left, Chu Chen took out a laptop, pried open the base of the teacup, and connected the data cable.

That's right, the so-called teacup was actually a hidden camera belonging to Chu Chen.

These things are everywhere in Chu Tian Jing.

The woman who brought the teacup was an artificial human that Chu Chen created directly from his spatial dimension. She first joined the Longsword Gang and then gained Chu Chen's favor.

Afterwards, Chu Chen arranged for her to infiltrate various parts of the underground city to gather intelligence for him.

They even infiltrated Yang Rulang's room.

Skipping over scenes with no one else around and action sequences, Chu Chen soon saw Yang Rulang call in a young master and bring out the treasure map of the desolate land.

After listening to their conversation, Chu Chen smiled excitedly.

Multi-faceted stones, treasures—that was enough to attract him.

You should know that although you can get much more multi-elemental stones than others when you mine.

But who can resist the allure of treasure?

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen took a screenshot from the video and then printed out the treasure map.

After putting away the treasure map, Chu Chen went directly to Jiu Tianyang's room.

"What did you say? You want to go to the wasteland?"

After hearing Chu Chen's words, Jiu Tianyang immediately shook his head and said with concern.

"Is there any other explanation for this desolate place?"

"No, you're too weak. It's too dangerous for you to go in. I don't trust you to go!"

Then, he gave Chu Chen a brief introduction to the knowledge of the wasteland.

The so-called wasteland is actually an area that the Heavenly Emperor did not develop or build when he created the underground city.

This area could easily be described as being located underground in the Heavenly Emperor City.

Because there was no suitable environment for human habitation created by the Heavenly Emperor, the environment there was extremely harsh.

Even those who have reached the Saint Realm and enter the desolate land are no different from ordinary people in the lower realm in terms of speed, mobility, and martial prowess.

Moreover, the area receives no sunlight year-round, with only a reflector originally used for construction providing a faint glow, much like the moon.

Therefore, it is unusually cold.

Places with moisture are almost perpetually frozen, while places without moisture are so dry and cold that one could easily become a stiff corpse.

Besides these, there are countless underground beasts. If you encounter a ferocious beast, such as the Earth Armored Beast, it can eat people with a crunchy bite.

..............

Seeing Jiu Tianyang's worried expression, Chu Chen also fell into deep thought.

Treasures are valuable, but you need to be alive to claim them.

If what Jiu Tianyang said is entirely true, then for Chu Chen, the main danger lies with those underground beasts.

The cold and the restriction of mobility, in certain specific situations, are actually advantageous to him.

Actually, Chu Chen preferred this place to the lower realm. Since everyone's strength was similar and there were no experts much stronger than him, it was safer.

Another point is, even if you encounter danger.

Chu Chen was well aware that he could enter the Chu Tian Realm immediately.

So I decided to go myself this time.

"Chief Jiu, if it's really as you say, then I'm definitely going to this desolate place!"

Jiu Tianyang looked at Chu Chen in disbelief: "Brother, what I just said is all true. These are all things that our predecessors in the underground city explored bit by bit with their lives. How come you can't understand?"

"Hehe, Chief Jiu, you know that I, Chu Chen, will not do anything without being sure of success."

"So, if you support me, don't ask so many questions. Just think of a way to get into the wasteland."

Jiu Tianyang looked at Chu Chen seriously once again: "Are you sure?"

Chu Chen nodded seriously, indicating that he was absolutely certain.

"Okay, wait for my news!"

Half a day later, Chu Chen was in the courtyard with Ji Yue studying the issue of clothing that fits the body when someone knocked on the courtyard gate from the outside.

Chu Chen opened the door and went out. When he turned back, he was holding a challenge letter in his hand!

The opponent was someone Chu Chen didn't know at all.

After a moment's thought, Chu Chen realized that this person must have been orchestrated by Jiu Tianyang.

With this challenge letter in hand, I can easily enter the desolate land; as for my opponent, it doesn't matter whether they go or not.

The time was set for three days later, which was exactly the same as the duel time between the Cai and Yang families. It was unclear whether this was intentional on Jiu Tianyang's part or just a coincidence.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Yang family gathered more than two hundred people, and the Cai family also had more than two hundred people. The two groups of people headed towards the passage leading to the wasteland.

Little did they know, Chu Chen was alone at that moment, holding a challenge letter in his hand, and had already arrived at the passage.

"Hey, young master with a full head of hair, you're the first person to enter the dueling arena since the city lord promulgated the new laws."

At the entrance to the desolate land, two guards looked at Chu Chen, who was disguised, and said something somewhat jokingly.

"Haha, what can I do? I have too many enemies. I'll just have to go in and take care of them one by one!"

"Brother, don't blame us for not warning you. With what you're wearing, forget about dealing with your enemies. You might not even make it to the arena."

"Here, take this. This is the map of the arena."

Chu Chen, still smiling, replied, "Haha, you two, thank you for the reminder. I have a brilliant plan!"

After saying that, he walked directly into the passage.

Sure enough, after passing through a passage of several hundred meters, he arrived at a place that seemed to be bathed in moonlight in the night.

The ground beneath my feet was covered in fine sand and gravel.

Looking into the distance, it seemed as if the view stretched endlessly through the hazy distance.

All around were rolling hills, but there was no vegetation.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing Chu Chen to feel a chill.

The cold was biting, and without thinking, Chu Chen turned on the heating switch on his protective suit.

Feeling his body temperature rise, Chu Chen immediately took out the printed treasure map.
