Chapter 31: The Broken Stone Tablet
Chapter 31: The Broken Stone Tablet (Part )
Zhang Chen was carrying the leftover chicken from last night and came to the beehive. He saw a swarm of bumblebees flying out, landing directly on Zhang Chen's body, hair, and head, crawling all over to show their affection.
Zhang Chen smiled upon seeing this, casually placed the diced meat on the grass leaves and let the bumblebee eat it. Then he drove the bumblebee off his body and walked towards the deep mountains and forests. His beast taming skills had not been used today, and he was about to use the mountain bees to collect honey.
"It's a pity that no beehive was found. If I could find a beehive, I would have no shortage of honey to eat." Zhang Chen looked at the mountain scenery and couldn't help but sigh.
In this deep forest, beehives are very hidden and it is not easy to find them. Zhang Chen is not the kind of person who gets something for nothing. The bees work hard to collect honey. If he takes it all away, the bees will starve to death. It is better to use the beast control technique to drive the bees to serve him for an hour. Over time, he can accumulate some honey.
The beast taming technique was activated, and countless bees shuttled through the mountains and forests, working hard to collect honey for Zhang Chen. An hour later, Zhang Chen saw that there were seven or eight more "caps" of honey in the jar. Only then did he stuff the honey into the backpack with satisfaction, and turned to walk towards the tomb.
He always felt a little uneasy about the stone tablet in the tomb. After all, it was a monster and he didn't know what other means he could use to deal with it. It would be better for him to destroy it as soon as possible.
He was actually a little worried in his heart. What if the monsters in the world were immortal, or what if he could not destroy the stone tablet and it ran away?
If the stone tablet ran away, Zhang Chen would never be able to sleep well again.
Zhang Chen walked all the way to the tomb. The fire in the tomb had not yet been extinguished, and blazing heat waves continued to pour out of the cave. Zhang Chen stood at the entrance of the cave and waited quietly. Anyway, he had nothing else to do that day, so he felt at ease staying in the mountains and waiting for the changes on the tombstone.
Zhang Chen went up the mountain at six in the morning. The flame went out eight hours later. It was already around two-thirty in the afternoon, which was still an hour away from Zhang Chen's return home.
Zhang Chen usually crawled out of the tomb around four in the afternoon, packed up his things and went home, for fear that there was really something scary or strange in the tomb.
After the flames in the tomb died down and the heat gradually dissipated, Zhang Chen half-crouched and went inside the tomb. However, when Zhang Chen entered the tomb, he was stunned, staring at the stone tablet in front of him, and couldn't help but show a look of shock: "What is that?"
The stone tablet is still a stone tablet, but the color of the entire stone tablet has changed. It was the color of stone skin before, but now after being calcined in a fierce fire, it has turned into the color of jade, like mutton-fat white jade, which looks white, delicate and lustrous.
There was a faint red light flowing inside the stone tablet, and countless silk threads shuttled back and forth, appearing to be looming.
"Has something unusual happened?" Zhang Chen stood five steps away and looked at the stone tablet from a distance. After staring at the stone tablet up and down for a long time and seeing nothing unusual, he walked into the cave with a cautious look on his face. Then he looked around the stone tablet and saw no experience points or skill points dropped.
"Interesting! If I carry such a large piece of white jade out and sell it, I'm afraid I'll get rich. I can definitely get a good price for it." Zhang Chen stood in front of the stone tablet, with golden light flashing in his eyes. He looked up and down at the stone tablet in front of him, but did not see anything unusual on the stone tablet. Only the blood-red handwriting had lost its luster and turned into golden yellow, which seemed to have a hint of sacredness.
Zhang Chen's palm shone with golden light, and then he slapped the stone tablet. No, it should be called a jade tablet at this time.
However, Zhang Chen's palm was emitting golden light, which penetrated directly into the stone tablet. This time, it penetrated deeper and farther. The red thread was evaporated directly after encountering the golden light, and the large piece of jade tablet thread became nothingness. Zhang Chen kept adjusting his breathing, urging his own righteous light, and constantly using the righteous light to attack the red thread in the stone tablet.
Just an hour later, Zhang Chen stopped what he was doing and stared at the stone tablet in front of him. He couldn't help but frowned, "No change? Could it be that the strange things in the world are really immortal? If so, then this is troublesome."
Zhang Chen suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Now the jade tablet would move every day. Thinking of escaping from this place, he had to turn it into nothingness before the stone tablet escaped.
Seeing the cold and gloomy air in the cave rising again, Zhang Chen had to prepare to evacuate.
Before leaving, Zhang Chen looked at the stone tablet uneasily and walked back worriedly.
The days seemed to have calmed down suddenly. If it weren't for the pressure of rent, everything would be fine. As usual, he inspected the traps in the mountains and caught two pheasants. Zhang Chen tied up the pheasants and cut some grass before he slowly walked home.
Just as Zhang Chen walked to the door of his house, golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then Zhang Chen saw an illusory girl, who was carrying a big bag of pork belly and a bowl of brown rice, and was walking towards him happily from the village.
"What the hell... No wonder the vixen didn't harm me anymore. It turns out the vixen got tired of eating meat and is now turning its claws on the people in the entire village." Zhang Chen looked at the vixen approaching from a distance. He didn't dare to look any further and hurriedly walked towards his own yard.
He threw the green grass directly to the two musk deer, then Zhang Chen walked into the house, took some brown rice to feed the pheasants, and then took out yesterday's barbecue and made pan-fried pork belly in the stove. After eating to his satisfaction, he washed up and went to bed.
There was no conversation that night, and the man and the fox next door seemed to have calmed down as well. The blood-red pages of the book had not shown any abnormalities in the past few days.
The next morning, Zhang Chen, who was worried, woke up early, picked up a piece of steamed dried meat, and walked towards the mountain.
He checked the traps, fed the falcon, then hurried to the tomb and went straight into the cave, looking at the jade-like stone tablet with his eyes.
There was still no experience or skill value dropped from the stone tablet, but the stone tablet left a long trace on the ground, leaving a deep mark across the ground.
"It's about one step away, which means that in less than half a month, this jade tablet will be able to 'walk out' of the tomb passage and appear in the outside world. Once it appears in the outside world, if it absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, or absorbs the blood of external creatures, things will become more unpredictable." Zhang Chen stood in front of the stone tablet, a cautious look in his eyes.
He no longer had the mind to gain experience points or upgrade skills. He just wanted to quickly destroy the stone tablet in front of him.
