Everyone stopped in their tracks in front of the pile of stones, even Wang Ping, who had been chattering away, fell silent.

We stared at the floating piles of stones like fools.

Although I consider myself well-informed, I have never seen anything so strange before.

Xiao He, who had been standing in front, was clearly very excited. He moved forward a little further and reached out to grab a stone from the pile of rocks.

But after pulling several times, they found that the stones were piled up tightly together, as if they were glued together.

Xiao He didn't give up. He turned around and called to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man immediately took out a bundle of hemp rope from the bag on his back. Xiao He picked up a tree trunk from the ground, tied the tree trunk to the rope, and then threw the tree trunk hard, which landed directly on the ground.

The hemp rope was directly tied to those piles of stones.

Xiao He immediately turned around and shouted, "Let's come and help!"

I didn't move, and neither did Wang Ping. Yang Rui, who was standing to the side, moved his feet slightly, clearly wanting to go and help, but he quickly noticed that Wang Ping and I hadn't moved.

Immediately afterward, Yang Rui carefully withdrew his foot and did not move.

Xiao He and the remaining four people immediately rushed forward.

They split into two groups and pulled hard on the rope, seemingly trying to pull the pile of stones down.

But they failed several times. Xiao He and the others turned to the three of us, panting, with urgent expressions: "Come help us! This is a meteorite from outer space. This kind of thing is much rarer than gold."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rui could no longer stand still and immediately rushed forward to pull, but it was clear that the strength of the six of them was still insufficient to move the floating pile of stones.

Wang Ping turned to look at me, his eyes asking if I needed help.

To be honest, I find this kind of thing very strange. It's like how I feel when I see giants, but I always wonder if this kind of alien thing can be reliable.

If there is any radiation, then we're really doomed.

However, we're already standing so close now, if there really is radiation, there's no way to avoid it.

So we nodded to Wang Ping and went to help.

But the moment I pulled on the rope, I realized that although the floating pile of stones didn't look very big, its weight was really daunting.

Even if we brought in two elephants, it probably wouldn't do us any good.

Wang Ping was panting heavily, and Xiao He and his group were also drenched in sweat, so we immediately retreated to a distance.

Yang Rui, panting, looked at Xiao He and said, "If we can't get this thing off, why are we still holding onto it? I don't think it's a good thing. Let's get out of here quickly."

Xiao He shook his head at Yang Rui and said very seriously, "Have you ever heard that meteorites from outer space have some kind of effect? ​​For example, this meteorite is black in shape. In the books I've read before, such things should be very rare. If you're in the mood to hunt for gold, you might as well get a few of these things; they might be more useful."

Wang Ping shook his head after hearing Xiao He's words: "But in my understanding, these things are not good. If they contain radiation, then you have killed everyone today."

Xiao He dismissed Wang Ping's words, saying, "How could there be a radioactive rock? The surrounding trees are thriving. Would a radioactive rock have preserved these trees? Have you observed carefully? There are trees all damaged and burned around here, but only this one is intact. That means this meteorite definitely doesn't carry any radiation, and it must be a good thing."

Hearing Xiao He say that, I realized that all the trees around us had indeed been burned down, but this area was full of life.

If we wait until the weather gets warmer, it will probably sprout new leaves.

"But if we can't pull it off even with all this effort, then there's nothing we can do about it since it's a good thing."

Wang Ping stood to the side making sarcastic remarks, but I just looked at him and chuckled.

"If we can't pull it down, then we can use something to help them shoot it down."

After saying that, I immediately picked up the large knife in Wang Ping's hand and slashed it hard at the meteorite.

But to everyone's surprise, the meteorite didn't cut through the blade; instead, it chipped the edge of the large sword.

At this, Xiao He's expression became even more excited.

I felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao He kept circling around, seemingly trying to figure out a solution, but he couldn't cut it down or pull it off. What other solutions could he possibly have?

While I was completely confused, Xiao He suddenly exclaimed "Oh!" and then turned to look at their group of people.

“I remember these things are supposed to absorb light. Why don’t we wait a bit longer? Maybe when it gets dark and the sun is out, it will fall to the ground.”

Yang Rui watched as Xiao He remained silent, but Wang Ping was displeased.

"Are you crazy? You know perfectly well that this forest isn't safe, yet you want everyone to wait here until dark. What if some giant or a centipede that's half a meter or two meters long comes along? And there are big rabbits here too. There's a saying that even a rabbit will bite when cornered. There's no grass left here, just this patch. If a rabbit really comes, you'll become grass for it to eat. I think we should leave first. Maybe we're not strong enough. If we really want it tomorrow, we can call more people and maybe then we'll succeed."

Xiaohe looked unhappy after hearing Wang Ping's words and shook her head: "That won't do. We might be able to find this kind of thing this time, but we might not be able to next time."

After saying that, I continued to think of other ways, but as I thought about it, the sun began to set. Thinking back to the days when there was no sun, I always felt uncertain.

But if Wang Ping and I leave alone now, it's obviously not a good idea.

I patted Wang Ping on the shoulder: "Never mind, let's wait a little longer."

Wang Ping then fell silent, leaned against a tree, and closed his eyes as if to rest.

We waited until it was completely dark, thinking of taking out some dried fish to fill our stomachs. Suddenly, we heard a loud bang. Immediately afterward, Xiao He excitedly took out his flashlight and shone it on the ground. Sure enough, the stones had fallen to the ground.

And this time they actually scattered and landed on the ground.

It seems Xiao He was right; these stones really do absorb light!

During the day they float in the air.

When the sun is gone, it will set...

I've never seen anything like this before.

But what exactly is this thing, that it has such strange characteristics?
