Because the cave was not too far away from the Metal Eater's nest, Han Sen was very careful. He didn't want to run into the Metal Eater again.
But Han Sen wasn't really afraid. He didn't know there were that many Metal Eater, so he ended up being surrounded.
This time, Han Sen was being extra careful. If he saw them, he'd run. They wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
Fortunately, Han Sen didn't run into any Metal Eater on his way. Han Sen walked around the cave to make sure there were no Metal Eater around. Then, he approached the cave.
Han Sen squatted next to the cave and looked inside. The cave was small, about the size of a bowl. It was dark inside, and he couldn't tell how deep it was.
Han Sen scanned the cave with his dongxuan aura, but the cave was a little twisted. He couldn't use his dongxuan aura.
"I don't care. Let's dig."
Han Sen summoned the Devil Pill and made it look like a shovel. Then, he began digging into the hole with the shovel.
The soil wasn't very good, and there were a lot of hard rocks in there. Fortunately, Han Sen was strong, and he was able to dig five or six meters deep.
But aside from the rocks, Han Sen didn't find anything else.
Dong!
Han Sen swung the shovel again, but it was as if it had hit something hard. He couldn't dig any deeper.
Han Sen was overjoyed. He knew he had found something. Otherwise, even if he had hit a rock, the Devil Pill's sharpness and his strength should have been able to break it.
But the Devil Pill couldn't dig any deeper, so it must've hit something hard.
Han Sen shoveled away the dirt and rocks, revealing what was underneath.
Han Sen looked at it, and he was shocked. He saw that it was still a rock, but it was very flat. It looked as if it had been manmade.
Han Sen couldn't see the whole thing, though. He only saw a small part of it, and the rest of it was still buried in the dirt. He wanted to see the whole thing.
The rock was big, and Han Sen had to dig for a while to get to the bottom of it.
This rock looked a little strange. It should be a broken piece of rock. Both sides had been cut off by something, leaving only a two-meter long section.
The rock was ten meters wide, and it looked as if it had been part of something else.
There was nothing on the rock, so he couldn't tell what it was. He frowned and tried to flip the rock over to see if there was anything on the other side.
But when he touched it, Han Sen was shocked. The rock was heavy, and Han Sen couldn't lift it.
Han Sen had opened his ninth gene lock with the Blood-Pulse Sutra, and his body was red. He used all his strength to lift the rock.
"Get up!" Han Sen shouted, trying to lift the rock.
But before he could flip it over, Han Sen's face turned red. He couldn't hold the rock any longer, and he had to let it go.
With a thump, the stone fell to the ground again, causing the ground to shake a little.
"This rock must be good stuff." Han Sen summoned Disloyal Knight and Golden Howler.
Then, he joined them in lifting the rock.
"One, two, three, three …" Han Sen shouted, and Disloyal Knight and Golden Howler joined him.
Seeing that the stone tablet was about to be flipped over, Han Sen looked in front of him. He was so scared that his hands went soft, and the stone fell back to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The small Metal Eater was now standing on the other side of the crater, looking at Han Sen with curiosity.
Han Sen jumped out of the hole and tried to run. But when he looked outside, he couldn't see the six adult Metal Eaters. Only the small one was there.
"Little friend, why are you here? This place is dangerous, and there are many poor, weird uncles around. You should go home." Han Sen waved his hand at the little Metal Eater.
Little Metal Eater ignored him, though. It looked at Han Sen and Disloyal Knight with curiosity. It wasn't afraid at all.
Han Sen wanted to turn around and leave, but the six adult Metal Eaters weren't there. Leaving would be too much of a coward for him to do.
Seeing that the little Metal Eater wasn't going to attack him, he used his Dongxuan Aura to scan the area. He couldn't find any other Metal Eater, so he summoned Meowth and asked it to keep an eye out for him. If there was any movement, Meowth would be able to alert him so he could escape.
Han Sen smiled at the small Metal Eater and said, "Be a good boy, and don't scream."
Seeing that the small Metal Eater wasn't hostile, Han Sen jumped back into the crater and tried to lift the rock with Disloyal Knight and Golden Howler.
"Come on, guys! One, two, three …" Han Sen shouted the number as he tried to push himself.
The rock was too heavy, and the three of them were barely able to lift it up. The little Metal Eater was very interested, and it thought that they were playing a game. It jumped into the hole and used its head to push the rock.
Boom!
When the rock was lifted, Han Sen looked at it. He was happy to see that there were markings on it.
But when he got rid of the dirt, he was dumbfounded.
On the surface of this huge rock, there were only two words engraved, "Man One".
"What does that mean?
One? "
I'm alone! "Han Sen looked at the words on the stone and felt depressed.
But after a while, Han Sen's face changed.
The more Han Sen looked at the stone and the writing, the more familiar they seemed. It was as if he had seen something similar somewhere before.
Han Sen frowned as he looked at the stone tablet and tried to recall it. Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck his brain. His face changed, and he quickly moved closer to examine the writing and the size of the stone.
"This should be it. It looks like the other one, and the handwriting is similar as well." Han Sen looked at the two words written on the stone strangely, and he was sure of his guess.
When Han Sen was trapped in the Valley of Time for three years, there was a broken tablet there. He had looked at it for three years, and he was very familiar with the writing on it.
Han Sen was sure that the words on the stone were the same as the ones on the tablet. And the shape and texture of the stone looked like a part of the tablet.
"What is going on?
If this stone was really a part of the monolith, why would it be here?
What does this have to do with the Queen Coin? "Han Sen looked at the stone and frowned.
