Since Ji Chaoyang asked this, he should be the second person to eliminate the tornado.
The mysterious voice said that Xu Xin was the first person in this batch of survivors to eliminate the tornado. It also said the same thing when the underground secret was discovered before, this batch of survivors.
Last time, Xu Xin thought it meant the group of survivors in Jungle Area 188, but based on what Chang Yin told him, he had already encountered five groups of survivors. Every twelve years, a new group of survivors would come to this world.
So there is no doubt that the first this time is not the first in the entire district, but the first among all the survivors this time.
If the second is Ji Chaoyang, then their Jungle District 188 is quite powerful, being able to grab the first and second positions among at least hundreds of districts. It seems that the two of them are among the best in any district.
Xu Xin replied: "It is indeed me, are you the second one?"
Ji Chaoyang: "Yes, that voice told me that I was the second person among this batch of survivors to manually eliminate the tornado."
It turned out to be just as he expected.
Ji Chaoyang: "Have you returned to the tree house? Can we exchange some information via voice?"
Xu Xin: "Okay."
After the voice call was connected, Xu Xin could hear Ji Chaoyang's breathing was still a little heavy on the other side.
He was a little confused: "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Chaoyang smiled bitterly: "It's not a big deal. When I came back, I found an ornamental fish near the tree house. It swam very fast, but I didn't catch it in the end. I just came back."
Didn't catch it? Xu Xin blinked.
The ornamental fish on his side gathered around him when they saw him and allowed him to catch them without any resistance, so why did Ji Chaoyang still have to work so hard to catch the ones on his side
Is it really the intimidating power of his clothes
It doesn't seem like that. Whether it was the colorful-scaled fish or the Tai Chi fish, after seeing him, they all circled around him. It didn't seem like they were scared because of the intimidation, but rather, like they were attracted by something.
He thought these ornamental fish were easy to catch.
"Since you know that it is an ornamental fish, you must have caught quite a few. Are they that difficult to catch? I think I'm fine." Xu Xin asked tentatively.
"Not many. I caught three green-level ones. They don't swim very fast and aren't very alert. We just approach them slowly and pounce on them. Is that how you catch them?"
"That's about right."
"So I suspect that this fast-swimming fish is a blue-level ornamental fish. The new blue-level resources are very precious, so I kept chasing it. But unfortunately, I tried many ways but couldn't catch it. In the end, it swam out of the protection area." Ji Chaoyang's voice was filled with a hint of regret.
It seems that these fish can indeed escape.
I'll ask Li Wenxi and the others after they come back. If they are in the same situation, it means that it's not that the fish he encountered was special, but that he himself is special.
As for what was special about it, Xu Xin didn't know. Maybe it was the scale armor on his body, or maybe it was because of his creator authority.
"Blue-level ornamental fish? That's really a pity." Xu Xin also felt sorry for Ji Chaoyang. He really wanted to know what other blue-level ornamental fish could be used for.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." There was a sound of wet clothes hitting something on the other end of the line. It should be Ji Chaoyang sitting down. "Let's exchange information, Xu Xin. I saw everything you posted in the group. In fact, my experience is similar to yours."
"I have said everything that needs to be said in the group. There is nothing more to say, right?" Xu Xin said. For the time being, he did not really want to tell others about his acquired abilities. Even he himself did not understand the value of an artist.
"No, it's not this rainy season event, it's the last dungeon event." Ji Chaoyang's voice became a little heavy.
"Dungeon activity?" Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
His dungeon was completely different from others, so he never really participated in other people's discussions.
The moment Ji Chaoyang mentioned the dungeon, he suddenly thought that Ji Chaoyang seemed to be similar to him.
Apart from the initial stage when he completed the dungeon in less than an hour and released the dungeon strategy to everyone in the regional channel, Ji Chaoyang never participated in the discussion again. He even didn't say a word among the explorers until the end of the dungeon activity.
Xu Xin parted with Chang Yin just before the end of the event. His attention was always on Chang Yin's family, so he didn't pay much attention to what the explorers were doing.
Now that I think about it, could it be that he also encountered something special
"In fact, I had always thought that there would be many people who could discover the hidden information in the dungeon, but I didn't expect that after it came out, no one in the regional channel was discussing it."
"Information hidden in the dungeon?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly. Is the information he knows the same as the information he has obtained
"I have been thinking about whether to tell you this these days, until you came first again, and that's when I finally made up my mind."
Ji Chaoyang began to tell about his experience in the underground city.
His dungeon was no different from everyone else's, with a deep, dark corridor, dozens of dilapidated wooden doors, and a simple choice of mutated beasts, mechanisms, and treasures.
He had actually obtained all the treasures a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry to leave the dungeon.
He checked every room carefully again, and finally, he found a well-hidden mechanism in an ordinary stone chamber. After pressing the mechanism, a secret passage appeared.
He walked along the secret passage and finally came to another stone chamber. The stone chamber was just like the outside, damp and full of musty smell, the only difference was that the walls of this stone chamber were covered with densely packed words.
"Engraving?" Xu Xin thought of the engraving printed on the stone table, but it shouldn't matter.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang said.
The words carved on the wall were all the characters on Earth, and they were composed of many kinds of characters, including Chinese characters. Although he could only understand the Chinese characters, the secrets hidden in these characters had already made him deeply shocked at the time.
Ji Chaoyang told Xu Xin his inference.
"You mean, we are not simply trying to survive, but are participating in a cruel selection?" Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, that's what the words carved on the wall say. The people who carved these words are all losers in this selection. The dungeon we entered was originally used to imprison losers."
The information on the wall was very fragmented. Ji Chaoyang summarized all the fragmented information and finally came to this conclusion.
"Imprison the losers? Simply imprison them?"
“Many people were sent into that stone chamber and left words in it. But it seems that when these losers were sent into that room, they themselves didn’t know what they would face.”
"Are you...really sure? Did the message say how many people would be selected, or why they would be selected?"
Xu Xin had actually guessed it a long time ago.
Since there is an elimination mechanism in the activities of this world, it is most likely to select survivors. Otherwise, all survivors would not be forced to act by the last-in-last elimination method. After all, some people don't know how strong they are unless they are forced.
But speculation and fact are two different things.
The selection is much more cruel than a simple survival game. In a survival game, if you can cooperate, you can stick together to keep warm and try to survive.
As long as we can develop well, there is actually not much difference except that we can't see our former relatives. The worst that can happen is that we can create another human civilization in this world.
But if it is a cruel selection, it will be completely different.
Because the number of places for any selection is limited.
If only one person is selected from each batch of survivors...
If this is true, then even Ji Chaoyang on the other side of the voice line is an enemy.
“I’m not sure about that. Many of the survivors who left messages in that room were as ignorant as we are. Only a few of them revealed these things. They seemed to be the survivors who had lived in this world for a long time and were finally eliminated.
Among the words written all over the wall, some of them said, "I failed. It seems that I will not be one of the people who make it to the end." "We actually lost to those guys. I am unwilling to accept it." etc.
Xu Xin's frown relaxed. "One of them? That group of guys? In other words, the ones who can make it to the end are a group of people?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice was no longer so heavy, and he smiled and said, "At least it's not just one person. Otherwise, do you think I would share this information with you? You've been stepping on my head. If there is only one person left, you're my biggest threat. I'd be merciful if I didn't stab you in the back."
Xu Xin also smiled: "Do you have to be so honest?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice became formal again: "So, Xu Xin, let's really cooperate. According to the information I have obtained, among our group of people, I am afraid that only a small number of people will survive to the end. You and I are the first and second among all of them. As long as we cooperate, the possibility of surviving to the end is very high."
Xu Xin was naturally willing to cooperate with Ji Chaoyang. He joked, "It would be great if we could sign a contract. Then I wouldn't be afraid that you would really stab me."
"Maybe there will be such a contract in the future?" Ji Chaoyang also joked, and then said seriously, "The cooperation I'm talking about this time is not just a simple alliance of interests."
"I understand what you mean," Xu Xin said, "You want to say that we should form a common force to face the outside world. If this survival game is really a selection competition, then in addition to those mutant monsters above and below the ground, the other survivors are also a major hidden danger."
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”
Xu Xin temporarily chose to believe Ji Chaoyang's words. It was also his urgent need to cooperate with a strong man.
So Xu Xin told Ji Chaoyang what he knew, including his experience in the underground city.
Of course, he concealed the fact that Changyin's family had a good relationship with him and was brought out by him. He only told him that he learned about the original appearance of this world from the mouth of the stone statue, and told him that this world was actually no different from their world fifty years ago. At the same time, he also knew that they were the fifth group of survivors to arrive here.
After hearing the news, Ji Chaoyang on the other end of the voice chat also thought for a long time. Xu Xin did not interrupt his thinking, and was also thinking at the same time.
If the dungeon is really a place where losers are imprisoned, then where do these losers come from
