Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 156: Painkillers and hemostatics

Views:

Xu Xin immediately walked to the two beasts and carefully observed their changes.

Not only were the blood veins on the two beasts glowing, but even the radioactive stone placed on the long cabinet was leaking a few strands of red light through the spots on the stone.

Ah Fu had already been lying next to the radioactive stone without anyone noticing; even the blood veins on his body were glowing faintly.

Seeing Xu Xin coming over, Ah Fu let out a soft cry and flapped its wings twice. Xu Xin discovered that its body had actually grown even bigger than before!

It seems that the upgrade of Silver King and Mimi this time seems to have caused a slight change in the radiation stone, which also benefited Ah Fu a lot.

The Silver King lying on the wall moved twice and woke up first. It slowly opened its eyes, its blood-red eyes filled with violent emotions, and its pair of long and sharp wolf fangs became more exaggerated than before it fell asleep.

As the Silver King awakened, the radioactive stone on the long cabinet suddenly made a subtle and crisp cracking sound, and then a dazzling red light burst out and instantly shone on Xu Xin's body.

At this moment, his head felt a little swollen and his skin felt a little itchy. Xu Xin seemed to feel that something was about to come out of his skin and head!

"Ah!" Coco tugged at his clothes and hid behind the sofa to avoid being illuminated by the red light.

Xu Xin also dodged quickly and ate oranges and strawberries, which helped him get rid of the swollen feeling in his head. He touched his arm and found goose bumps all over it.

"Hmm." Keke tugged at Xu Xin's clothes again, staring at his mouth. It was paid a "salary" of one blue-level fruit a day.

Is he greedy again? This little guy is still greedy at this time. Xu Xin stuffed a blue apple into his hand, and Keke immediately leaned back on the sofa, holding the apple and started to eat it, with an intoxicated expression on his face again.

The red light shone past the sofa, casting the shadow of the sofa on the wooden wall in front of Xu Xin.

This red light reminded him of the story Changyin told him.

No, that's not a story, that's a fact that happened on this planet fifty years ago.

A red light that came from nowhere shone on the planet, and half of the plants and animals on the planet turned into mutated creatures. Even humans were not spared, and all turned into monsters that had lost their own will.

Could this red light be the same red light that caused biological mutations fifty years ago

The full name of the radioactive stone is contaminated radioactive stone. I'm afraid that this stone must have experienced something in the catastrophe fifty years ago, which is why the energy that can cause biological mutations is stored in it.

Normal release would not affect ordinary creatures, but it had just cracked slightly, so the energy contained in it was released in the form of red light.

Fortunately, it wasn't something like nuclear radiation, otherwise it would have made no difference whether he hid or not.

I leaned over to look over there, and saw the Silver King baring his teeth, his body trembling a little, as if he was enduring unbearable pain. Then, he looked up to the sky and let out a loud wolf howl: "Awoo—"

The bloodstains on the Silver King's body were like the shattered statues of the altar, emitting a dazzling red light. Xu Xin began to feel his head swelling again and quickly hid behind the sofa again.

Mimi's lazy cry came from behind, and it was awakened by the roar of Silver King. From its cry, it didn't seem to be as painful as Silver King, and it just felt like it had just woken up.

Xu Xin couldn't help but stick his head out to take another look. After seeing that the blood patterns on Mimi's body had obviously changed, he retracted his head with relief.

He was still a little worried that Mimi's evolution had failed.

After eating the apple, Coco burped, climbed into Xu Xin's arms, and waited with him for the two guys behind to complete their evolution.

"Awooo—" Silver King howled like a wolf again. Xu Xin heard a commotion outside the tree house caused by Silver King's howling.

What's happening outside

He held Coco in his arms and quickly ran to the study, where they would not be exposed to the red light.

Coming to the window, Xu Xin was surprised to find that the blood-thorn vines actually bent and shrank downwards under the Silver King's howl, and even the red light emitted from their roots dimmed.

Is this...being intimidated by the Silver King

Xu Xin looked at the root of the vine. The flickering red light at the root had now climbed up almost thirty centimeters.

… doesn’t seem to be very fast either.

These vines are about ten meters long, and only ten minutes have passed. At this speed, after six or seven hours, all the blood thorns on these vines will be completely illuminated.

It is just past noon now, which means that if Xu Xin does not want these vines to be completely strengthened, he needs to find the heart-like thing before dark and destroy it!

Outside the study, the red light still did not stop.

Coco climbed onto the bookshelf and was having a lot of fun playing with the little crystal figurines with her little paws.

Xu Xin was not in a hurry to go out. He wanted to wait until the two beasts evolved before going out together. With the evolved beasts, it should not be difficult to rush out of the group of vines. After all, a roar from the Silver King could make the group of vines below shrink back.

Before that, let me tell this guess to all the explorers.

Before he could say anything, Wen Guixin suddenly spoke in the group: "A new batch of vines have grown outside my tree house!"

Xu Xin's eyes trembled slightly. As expected, as long as the "heart" underground was not destroyed, these vines could not be killed completely. The source of energy that provided them must be destroyed!

Li Wenxi: "Have you noticed that the thorns at the roots of these vines are all flashing red!"

Xu Xin directly told them his guess, and told them that if they had the ability to break out of the vine encirclement, they should look for the "heart", which might be the key to this defense battle.

Wen Guixin strongly supported Xu Xin's guess: "I was about to set off, but I didn't expect that the vines under the tree house would grow again just as I prepared the supplies. I can be sure that these are definitely not the ones I killed that have resurrected, but they have grown again! Xu Xin's guess makes sense. If the 'heart' underground is not killed, these vines may be endless!"

Li Wenxi: "Oh my god, how are we going to break through these vines outside..."

Qin Yunlong: "I feel like I can't get out."

Xu Xin: "If you don't have the ability to break out of the protection circle, don't go out. Wait in the tree house for news from me, Ji Chaoyang, and Wen Guixin. There should be other solutions, otherwise there may not be many people left for this event."

Xu Xin sent Ji Chaoyang several messages again, but he didn't reply. This made Xu Xin's heart sink a little.

What kind of danger was near that "heart" that left him no time to even reply to a message

Especially with Ji Chaoyang's personality, if he has information that can help them, he will basically share it with them first. But this time, he just sent a video to Xu Xin and disappeared halfway through.

It seems that the danger level of this operation is definitely not low.

"Wait a moment," Qi Xuefei suddenly spoke in the group, "I have made new pills with these vines. I'll send them to you."

Xu Xin immediately received a transaction request.

The other party initiates a transaction with you, Pain Relief Pills (Green)*2 in exchange for

Pain pills

Xu Xin immediately clicked to agree, and two small dark green pills appeared in his hand.

Painkillers (green): A pill that can numb pain nerves, making the survivor unable to feel any pain. It takes effect immediately after taking it and the effect lasts for 5 minutes.

It works immediately, and it doesn't just reduce the pain, it makes you feel no pain at all. It's a super powerful painkiller!

Qi Xuefei: "This pill can make you feel no pain for a period of time, but it can't heal your injuries. To heal your injuries, you still need to rely on hemostatic grass. Hemostatic grass needs to be ground on the spot and then applied to the wound. The steps are cumbersome and cannot be used when fighting or escaping. This pain-relieving pill can make up for this."

Wen Guixin: "This medicine is perfect for me!"

Li Wenxi: "I feel like this medicine can greatly increase my fighting power. I'm always afraid of the pain and don't dare to go up..."

Wang Lei: "How short is the pain relief time?"

Qi Xuefei: "I don't know about this either, it was just made."

They did not have Xu Xin's ability to identify and did not know that the effect lasted for five minutes.

Xu Xin: "I can tell you that it lasts for five minutes."

The group was quiet for a moment, then returned to normal.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "Five minutes... it feels a bit short."

Wen Guixin: "It's enough. Just don't let the pain affect your movements. Just apply the hemostatic grass within five minutes. It's not good to keep it there for too long. Pain is a very important perception."

No one asked Xu Xin how he knew it. Everyone had their own unique skills, so there was no need to dig into other people's abilities.

Only Qi Xuefei sent him a private message: "Can you really see how long the drug's effects last? Then I'll give you another one, take a look."

As he spoke, he initiated the transaction. Xu Xin accepted it, and another small green pill appeared in his hand.

Hemostatic Pill (Blue): After taking it, it can quickly recover from external and internal injuries within two hours. One pill can be taken every 24 hours.

The effect of this pill made Xu Xin's eyes widen. Is this... a pill made with hemostatic grass (blue) as the raw material

"How is it?" Qi Xuefei asked.

"It can recover from all injuries sustained within two hours. You can only take one pill a day." Xu Xin told him the detailed effects of the medicine.

"You really can know!" Xu Xin could feel the joy between the lines of Qi Xuefei's words, "Xu Xin, please help me take a look at the drugs I make in the future. Without the opportunity of clinical trials, I really can't figure out the efficacy of the drugs myself."

"No problem. It's just a piece of cake." Xu Xin readily agreed to Qi Xuefei's request.

"Then I'll give you this medicine. But if the situation is not urgent, it's better to use the hemostatic grass. The cost of this medicine is much higher than that of a single hemostatic grass. I only made three."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Xu Xin really didn't want to return the pill, so he took it after hearing her say that.

After putting the pills away, the red light outside the study gradually dimmed. Xu Xin walked out of the study. Coco also jumped down from the bookcase and followed him out the door.

The radioactive stone on the long cabinet had now split into two halves, turning into an ordinary stone without any luster.

The moment Xu Xin appeared in the living room, the two beasts lying on the ground immediately turned their heads, and all four blood-red eyes looked at him.
