When Xu Xin looked over here from the window of the tree house, Ke Bing did not see the hills covered by red fog.
This red fog should have started to spread after dark.
As far as the eye can see, the outer hills are surrounded by a layer of faint red mist.
The entire hilly resource area seemed to be surrounded by a thick wall of red fog, and the inside could not be seen at all.
The place where the red color is the most intense is the entrance of the mine in front of you.
Because the red fog walls around it are formed by the "giant mouth" of this mine spewing out.
Xu Xin noticed that in the deep "eye sockets" of the "giant", there was a faint white light flickering at this moment, as if it was a pair of open eyes, staring at Xu Xin who was standing in front of it.
"White light?"
Xu Xin remembered that deep in the huge cave in the mine, there was a white light. And they had discussed it among the explorers, and the light deep in other people's caves was also white.
Could it be that there are some high-level supplies there
Xu Xin used his ability to identify the light, but did not see any color of light.
If it is not a resource, then why does it shine
Could it really be the eyes of a giant
Staring at the two glowing spots, Xu Xin felt a little tingling on his scalp. He shifted his gaze to the resource area inside the hill.
The resource area is shrouded in red fog. If you want to enter, you must first enter the fog.
Xu Xin hesitated. The danger in the mist was unknown. And he also had to consider whether inhaling the mist would have an impact on him.
Now he only knew that inhaling this gas would make him dizzy, but with the blessing of Orange (Blue)'s mental power, it had little effect on him.
But inhaling too much could still cause irreversible damage, such as... causing his body to mutate.
After all, this red mist has a close connection with the underground world and should have emerged from the underground world.
"嘤!" Coco cried and pushed Xu Xin.
Coco noticed the danger and it obviously didn't want to let itself in.
… Let's go back. It's not something that must be done. There's no need to put ourselves in danger.
As for the affairs of Changyin's family, we can make plans later. There is no need to risk our lives to find out.
…Speaking of the current situation, could it be that it was caused by their sacrifice in front of the altar
I opened my watch, and no one spoke on the regional channel or in the explorer.
Xu Xin asked in the group: "Is there anything abnormal in your cave now?"
Someone responded immediately.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I'm in the cave now. I always feel that this cave is very strange, so I want to take another look. There is nothing unusual, but the fragrance coming out of the cave makes me a little intoxicated. No, no, I have to go!"
Li Wenxi: "My cave is far away from the tree house. I don't know if anything happened to it. What's wrong? Is there any problem over there?"
Xu Xin frowned, and suddenly remembered that the hilly resource area was beyond the three-kilometer range.
Xu Xin: "It's okay, I'm just a little worried."
Then he called Ji Chaoyang, who answered the call a few seconds later: "What's wrong, Xu Xin?"
"Did anything happen at your altar?"
"Altar?" Ji Chaoyang's voice was a little confused. "I don't know. I'm in the tree house now."
"Do you want to go and have a look? Something happened here. The red mist is gushing out of the hole and surrounding the altar."
"…" There were footsteps over there, and then Ji Chaoyang spoke up, "I looked out the window and there was nothing unusual. I'm going to take a look at the altar now, and we'll keep in touch at any time."
"good."
After hanging up the voice, Xu Xin looked at the resource area shrouded in fog and fell into deep thought.
Ji Chaoyang also has a mount, and can reach the altar quickly.
If there is no situation on his side, then the problem on his side is most likely caused by the sacrifice of Changyin's family.
Perhaps they are in this red fog, in the altar right now!
While he was thinking, Mimi suddenly took two steps forward, and before Xu Xin could react, she leaped suddenly and rushed into the red fog.
The bat that had been resting with its eyes closed on its back flew down early, flapped its wings twice in the air, and landed on Xu Xin's shoulder.
Coco, lying on the Silver King's back, glanced at the bat but didn't make trouble with the poor little bat anymore.
“Hey…” Xu Xin just wanted to stop Mimi, but he shut up.
A scene that surprised him happened.
When Mimi stepped into the area covered by red fog, the ground it stepped on began to crack. Countless vines sprouted directly from the ground and launched a fierce attack on Mimi!
Even if Mimi didn't burst out at her fastest speed, these vines could not catch up with her.
It circled around the entrance of the salt mine cave, easily passed through the vines, jumped back to Xu Xin, then lay on the ground and stretched.
Judging from its nonchalant look, it seems that it already knew this would happen.
The scene in the red mist has completely changed.
Some of these vines were covered with blood-red patterns, while others were covered with blood-red barbs. They danced in the red mist, forming a red and green mutant vine jungle!
Under Xu Xin's gaze, the vines danced for a long time, and finally slowly retreated back to the ground.
Xu Xin's face changed.
They are not dead.
Is this area covered by the red fog no longer protected by the tree house
Silver King and Coco didn't seem surprised either. Coco didn't even scream. She looked calm and even poked her head over there to look.
Xu Xin picked up Coco and looked at it: "Coco, do you know what's going on?"
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head.
Xu Xin: “…”
Perhaps it can just sense the danger of mutant creatures in advance.
Mimi and Silver King are mutant beasts themselves, and they should be able to detect the breath of their own kind in advance, so Mimi ran in to lure these things out and remind herself not to enter.
No matter what, he didn't dare to enter the red fog.
How can we enter here? What is the difference between entering here and stepping out of the protected area
But he didn't want to go back just like that.
If the red fog continues to spread, the worst possible situation is that the activity range of the mutant creatures underground will continue to expand, and even his tree house will be affected!
The spread of this red fog must be stopped!
Fortunately, the red mist was only spreading near the hills. Even though Xu Xin was only a hundred meters away from the hills, the air around him was not dyed red, and he could only smell a faint fragrance.
But after taking a look at the salt mine cave that was still emitting red mist, Xu Xin felt a little helpless.
At least we should take a look at what's going on inside, right
He suddenly thought that these monsters all emerged from the ground. If he flew in, would they not be triggered
"Little bat, fly in and take a look. Fly higher. If there is any situation, fly back directly." Xu Xin said to the bat on his shoulder.
The bat let out a small squeak in response, flapping its wings and flying off into the area filled with red mist.
Just as Xu Xin guessed, the little bat did not attract the attention of the underground creatures. It flew several circles in the air, and no vines came out to attack it.
At this time, a small bird nearby that had no attack power chirped twice, probably attracted by the flying bat, and flew into the red fog with it.
Suddenly, a slender blood-veined vine emerged from the cracked ground, pierced the bird directly, and carried it back underground.
Underground monsters will attack creatures in the air.
Perhaps it was because the blood-marked bats were also a kind of mutant creature, and were too weak compared to the Mimi Silver King, so there was no desire for them to attack.
"Little Bat, go to the cave and see what's there!"
The bat flapped its wings and flew into the salt mine.
The cave entrance was filled with red fog. Xu Xin could not see anything and could only wait anxiously.
He currently only had a bat as his flying contract beast, and during the rainy season he discovered that the bat had its own consciousness, so he could no longer treat it as a tool bat. So he really didn't want anything to happen to the bat.
After more than ten seconds, the bat flapped its wings and flew out of the red mist, making him breathe a sigh of relief.
The bat passed through the red fog safely and landed on Xu Xin's shoulder.
"Coco, let's communicate."
"Bing!"
The shrill sounds of bats and Coco's whimpering continued, and Xu Xin soon understood the situation in the cave.
The hole in the cave has expanded again. In the morning, its diameter was only about two meters, but now, it has basically occupied the entire ground deep in the cave!
In the cave, red mist continued to spread outward, making it impossible for the bats to see what was deep in the cave.
That’s basically the situation.
Let’s take a look around first. Maybe there are places that are not affected by the red fog. Maybe we can even go into the resource area to take a look.
Riding on the Silver King, Xu Xin was about a hundred meters away from the hill, exploring the hilly area, looking for a breakthrough point.
As he got farther and farther away from the entrance of the salt mine, the red mist gradually faded.
This also made Xu Xin feel relieved. He was afraid that there was more than one hole in this circle of hills spewing red mist.
At present, it seems that only the salt mine cave that looks like a huge mouth is producing red fog.
Finally, between two hills, Xu Xin found an entrance with very thin red mist, and said to Mimi who had been following him, "Mimi, go in and take a look."
Although Mimi didn't let me touch her, she was very obedient. This time she didn't rush in quickly, but walked in slowly.
Nothing happened.
Xu Xin's eyes lit up: "We can go deeper here!"
Perhaps only areas with very dense red fog could protect those underground creatures and allow them to appear within the protected area of the tree house.
Tonight's weather is also crucial. There is basically no wind, which allows fog to gather at the entrance of the mine. But if the wind is a little stronger, the fog will be blown away.
Without saying a word, Xu Xin rode the Silver King into the faint red mist.
At this moment, his watch vibrated. It was a voice message from Ji Chaoyang.
"How is it? Is there any situation over there?" Xu Xin asked before the other party could speak.
"The situation is very strange." Ji Chaoyang's voice was also solemn, "The appearance of the altar has completely changed."
Um
What is going on here
