When everything was settled, the side effects of Xu Xin's full-speed running just now appeared.
"Ugh..." He lay on the ground, retching non-stop, feeling a little dizzy. He kept running as hard as he could, or climbing the stairs, but even his body, which had been strengthened several times, could not bear it.
In the end, he didn't vomit anything, after all, there was nothing in his stomach.
“嘤…” Coco stood beside Xu Xin and looked at him worriedly.
Xu Xin reached out and touched Keke's head, revealing a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After all, the effect of Xing (Blue) was still there, and his physical strength was slowly recovering. Soon, he felt that he had no more problems, which made him very satisfied with his current physical condition. If it were the old him, he would have to be exhausted for several hours just to run a thousand meters.
As soon as he stood up, he was hugged. The hard body made Xu Xin feel uncomfortable, but he did not push away.
The one hugging him was Changyin.
"Thank you... Thank you..." Chang Yin's voice was a little choked, and his stone eyes could not shed tears, but Xu Xin could still feel his excitement and gratitude.
Xue Lan, the little boy and the maid were hugging each other, sobbing.
Although the scene of several stone statues hugging each other was rather strange, Xu Xin was still happy for them. After all, they had been in this underground for a full forty-nine years.
It took Chang Yin a while to calm down. He let go of Xu Xin and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. I was so excited."
As he said this, he put down the backpack on his back and handed it to Xu Xin, "I'll give it back to you."
Xu Xin took the backpack and asked the question he had been wanting to ask: "What are you going to do now? Do you have a place to go? If not, you can stay at my place temporarily."
Xu Xin wanted to keep this family in his tree house. This trip gave him enough materials to renovate the tree house. Xu Xin planned to renovate the tree house from the inside out. His tree house was so big that it would be no problem to decorate a few rooms for the four of them to live in.
Changyin and his team have the ability to control stones and have super strong defense, which are both very powerful abilities. Moreover, Changyin can also make mutant beast contracts. If they are kept in the tree house, it will definitely be a great help.
"We came out this time to do something." Xue Lan also walked to Xu Xin's side and returned the backpack in her hand to Xu Xin. "If things go well, it can be solved in a few days. Then I can visit you again."
The little boy ran over and hugged Xu Xin's legs, then looked up and said to Xu Xin: "Uncle really brought us out, uncle is so awesome! I want to go to uncle's house and play!"
"Be obedient, Xiaohong, wait until our problems are resolved before coming to uncle's house to play, okay?"
Oh my goodness, has his uncle's name been confirmed? Never mind, he and Changyin are of the same generation, so it's not too much for this little boy to call him uncle. However, it was the first time he heard the little boy's name, it turned out to be... Xiaohong
"What are you going to do?" Xu Xin asked, "Tell me about it, I might be able to help you. You haven't been out for nearly fifty years, and you are not familiar with the outside world, why not let me help you."
Chang Yin shook his head: "We can only solve this matter by ourselves. If you interfere, it may fail. So don't ask. If things go well and you still want to take us in, we will come to you after the matter is over. It shouldn't take a few days."
That's good, at least they won't never see each other again. Xu Xin really can't bear to give up their abilities, and after experiencing Speed together, their relationship has become much deeper. It's a bit sad not to see each other again.
"Why don't you go to my place first, so that you won't be lost in five days." Xu Xin suggested.
"Okay, then let's go to your place first. Our business is not that urgent." Chang Yin said.
"But..." Xue Lan hesitated.
"We've waited for fifty years. A few hours won't make a difference. Just go and sit for a while. You've just seen the outside world, so relax first." Chang Yin put his arm around Xue Lan's shoulders and persuaded her. It seemed that he was also very curious about the residence of Xu Xin, the survivor.
"Madam, there's no need to rush about that matter. It's useless to go now. We can wait until dark before setting off." The middle-aged maid spoke. Her words made Xu Xin a little concerned. What was it that had to be done after dark
"Well... well, since Aunt Ling said so, let's go to Xu Xin's residence first." With three votes against one, Xue Lan finally compromised.
"Yeah! Let's go to uncle's house and play!" The little boy Xiaohong happily circled around Xu Xin.
Seeing that they had made a decision, Xu Xin also smiled.
He had just observed his position on the map. His current location was quite close to his starting point on the first day. This area was a place he had never been to. His previous hunting activities had always been in the hilly resource area in the northwest, and his current location was in the southwest.
But the first thing to do now is to go back to the black bear cave and take the Silver King out. I wonder if it is still waiting at the entrance of the gap. Xu Xin left enough food for it, so there is no need to worry about it running around.
"Then follow me, I will lead the way for you."
"嘤!" Coco, who had been watching them from the side, climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulders after hearing this.
Before leaving, Xu Xin took a look at the lake that had just been filled with water surging up from underground.
The water in this lake, which had just been dry, had now spread to the lakeside and was no longer rising. Unlike the lake next to Xu Xin's tree house, the water here was very turbid, and blood-marked loaches could be seen swimming in it from time to time.
If it hadn't been tested on a group of bats, the contaminated meat wouldn't poison the mutants. Xu Xin wanted to throw a piece of poisoned meat down to poison them all. With so many loaches, even if he only gave a few points for each one, Xu Xin would still make a fortune.
Find some time to look for things like sulfur and saltpeter to see if you can unlock the formula for the bomb. Then you can come here directly to fry fish, which will be absolutely fun.
At this time, the cheetah that was running around also returned to Xu Xin, but because it had been running for a long time, it looked a little listless and lay on the ground, obviously tired.
Xu Xin tried to put the cheetah, who was so tired that he fell down, into the ring, but as expected, he dodged it again.
"Okay. Since you don't want to go in and rest, you have to follow closely behind." Xu Xin said to the cheetah. The cheetah raised his head and called out weakly, then stood up.
After walking for a while with Changyin and his family, they came to the stream that Xu Xin was familiar with. As long as they walked downstream along the stream, they would pass the black bear cave and return to the tree house.
Chang Yin's family felt very curious about everything on the ground. After all, they had been underground for nearly fifty years, and the ground had undergone tremendous changes.
"By the way, Xu Xin, return the ring to Xue Lan. I'll give you a stronger one." Chang Yin said to Xu Xin as they walked by the stream. He took out a bracelet from somewhere and handed it to Xu Xin.
"This is..." Xu Xin took the bracelet.
Mutant Beast Bracelet (Blue): Can hold 10 tamed low-level mutant beasts. Remember, you can only hold mutant beasts! Don't forget to feed them, otherwise the mutant beasts will starve to death inside.
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows. This bracelet can hold ten mutant beasts! The ring he is wearing now can only hold five.
Xu Xin immediately took the ring off his hand, released the bat in the ring, put it into the bracelet, and then handed the ring to Xue Lan.
"This ring is the first gift I gave to Xue Lan after I turned into a stone statue. It has great significance and you can't wear it on your hand forever." Chang Yin explained with a smile, and then gave Xu Xin a handheld windmill.
The small windmill that Xu Xin had obtained before had long been returned to Xiaohong. This windmill was a circle bigger than Xiaohong's.
"This thing can attract the attention of mutant beasts. It is equivalent to a taunting tool. It depends on how you use it."
Xu Xin put the windmill into his backpack: "Did you make all these things?"
"Of course, but now there are no raw materials, so I can't make it even if I want to."
"What are the raw materials? I can help you find them."
"You'd better forget it. It's not something you can handle. Even I got it by chance."
Soon, Xu Xin arrived at the entrance of the black bear cave. It was very quiet inside the cave.
He called into the cave, "Silver King, are you in there?"
The howling of a wolf was immediately heard from the cave, and a large silver-gray wolf ran out of the cave. After seeing Xu Xin, it immediately ran to his side and rubbed Xu Xin with its head.
"Ying!" Coco was very happy to see the Silver King. She jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and onto the Silver King's back.
"Oh, your wolf is not a mutant beast, it's so big?" Chang Yin was shocked by the size of the Silver King. He didn't expect a wolf could grow so big.
Xu Xin didn't want to walk anymore, he just stepped onto Silver King's back and said with a smile: "Silver King was the wolf king of a pack of wolves back then, he was very majestic, right Silver King?"
"Awooo—" The Silver King let out a wolf howl, which was quite majestic.
Changyin observed the Silver King and said, "This wolf is really good. You can make mutation potions with the mutation potion synthesis table. You can give it to it."
"Well... forget it. Didn't you say that it would basically not maintain its original will after using it?" Xu Xin shook his head. He needed an obedient mount, not a mad dog running around everywhere.
"Most of them can't maintain their will, but there are a few exceptions." Changyin pointed at the cheetah following behind, "Isn't it an exception?"
"You mean..." Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
"That's right. Among all our experimental subjects, there are only three exceptions. These three exceptions are all unusually large in size for their species, just like this gray wolf." Chang Yin pointed at the Silver King under Xu Xin's crotch, "They should have mutated themselves, so their ability to withstand the mutation potion is much greater."
Xu Xin touched the Silver King's head and fell into thought. If he could use the mutation potion to make the Silver King stronger without losing his will, that would be great.
