Xu Xin shared his experiences and conjectures in the Explorer.
There is still no news about Ji Chaoyang.
Qin Yunlong: "It turns out to be like this, doesn't that mean that the life and death of those who are unable to get out are completely controlled by others?"
Qi Xuefei: "These... those vines below are actually the roots of the tree house. This is too scary."
Li Wenxi: "I have all these pieces here. I have tested the effect and it is perfect! I just set up a grill by the window of the tree house and it started to emit a thick white smoke, and all the surrounding vines retracted into the ground!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "This... Is it solved now? Then I'm just slacking off this time? It's really nice to be led by the boss."
Xu Xin: "Don't use it now. When the vines start to attack, use this to drive them away."
At this time, Wang Lei and Wen Guixin also appeared.
Wang Lei: "Oh my god, then am I the savior?"
Wen Guixin: "This... I put in so much effort to work for everyone!"
Seeing these two people show up, Xu Xin asked, "How is the situation over there?"
Wang Lei: "Don't worry, Brother Xin, they've already started grilling the big heart. I listened to you and fired a few incendiary crossbows at it as soon as we met. The vines were set on fire before they could even react, haha."
Wen Guixin: "I have already dealt with all the vines here. I just killed this big heart, which gives me a lot of points. But... we don't have your purple level table, so we can't trade on the spot... Do we have to move them back one by one? This is too troublesome..."
Wang Lei: "It's not a big deal. Your body has been strengthened so many times. You should be able to carry 100 kilograms now. The backpack is only 10% heavier. You can carry one ton at a time. The tree house is not far away. You can just carry it ten times. It will be done in an hour!"
Wen Guixin: "I... you guys are such nice people. Forget it, just move it. Even if we don't share it with those people, this thing will be very useful to us in the future. Ah, I found the seeds that Xu Xin mentioned!"
Xu Xin curled his lips. How could he be working for everyone? This seed was their biggest gain from going out, equivalent to a large yard on the ground!
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Wow, what a loss! If I had known, I would not have given the opportunity to Wang Lei."
Wang Lei: "Hey, you may not be able to rush out. It took me a lot of effort to get out. I was almost tied up by those vines."
Xu Xin lay on the sofa for a few more minutes before sitting up.
There was one last cave that he hadn't explored yet, so he had to take a look. Although there was no heart in the first cave, there was a red mist flower that released red mist that enhanced the abilities of mutant creatures, which also brought him a lot of gains.
There must be good stuff in this third cave.
The four animals thought that they would never go out again. Silver King and Mimi lay in the corner and yawned, while Coco rolled around on the sofa beside him. Ah Fu was not in the house. He must have hung under the tree house.
"Let's go. There is one last cave. We'll come back and rest after we finish exploring it." Xu Xin stood up.
Hearing him say that, Coco climbed directly onto his shoulders, Silver King also stood up, and Mimi stretched and lazily walked to his side.
After bringing the three beasts down and calling Ah Fu, Xu Xin mounted on the Silver King's back. The man and four beasts soon arrived at the third cave, which was the cave discovered by the Silver King.
"Hmm!" Coco screamed before Xu Xin was about to enter, indicating to him that there was danger.
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that Coco had said before that there were dangers in the three caves, so he didn't know which cave actually contained the heart, so he tried them one by one.
"Coco, is it more dangerous in here or is it the heart that is more dangerous?" Xu Xin asked as he touched Coco's little head lying on the back of the Silver King's neck.
“Oh…oh!” Coco turned around and pointed with her little paw towards the second hole, which was the direction of the hole where the heart was originally located.
It seems that the strongest guy has been killed by him.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of. Without wasting any more time, Xu Xin, holding a crossbow, lay on the Silver King.
"Mimi, lead the way, let's rush in directly!"
"Meow!" Mimi responded, and rushed into the cave with Afu, followed closely by Silver King.
There is not much difference between the passages of the three caves.
Soon, within a few tens of seconds, they arrived at the depths of the cave.
Like the other two caves, the deepest part of this cave is also a hall-like space, but this time the underground space is empty and there is nothing.
“…Empty?” Xu Xin frowned.
No, it shouldn't be empty. How could an empty box make Coco feel dangerous
Xu Xin looked around and finally noticed something strange on the wall.
Thanks to his continued enhanced vision today, he was able to see that the soil and color of a place on the wall were slightly different from those of other places. The difference was very small, especially in this dark underground, and it was basically invisible.
The difference is like the difference between soil that has been turned over and filled in and other soil that has not been turned over.
Xu Xin stood in front of the unusual wall, took out his spear and fired lightly.
With a loud crash, the part with abnormal color collapsed by half. He poked it a few more times with the gun, and a hole about two meters high appeared in front of him.
Could these holes have been made by pangolins? Why are they blocked
The Silver King lay quietly beside him, while Mimi paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave, looking into the depths of the cave. Suddenly, it stopped and shrank back slightly.
This was not an action of fear, but one that was ready to strike. It gave Xu Xin the feeling of a lurking tiger ready to kill its prey with one blow!
"Ying!" Coco also pointed at the largest hole and screamed.
The length and width of the cave were two meters, enough for Xu Xin and the four beasts to enter. After a dozen meters in the cave, there was a corner, and you couldn't see any deeper.
Do you want to go in and take a look
Suddenly, a big head popped out from the corner and gradually revealed its entire body.
The scales on its body were covered in dust, and the blood marks looked inconspicuous under the cover of dust, but its two sharp claws were unusually clean, and the proportions were somewhat exaggerated.
This pangolin is ridiculously large. Including its tail, it is three meters long!
Part of its body was strengthened to become bigger and stronger. Even if this pangolin was not a mid-level mutant beast, it was almost the same as Mimi and Silver King before the upgrade.
Moreover, this is probably the largest individual of the same species.
When the pangolin saw them, it was not afraid and even walked slowly towards them.
"Ha—" Mimi's hair stood on end. She blew air at the pangolin and then slapped it.
The pangolin did not dodge and was knocked to the ground by Mimi. However, its body was covered with scales, and Mimi only attacked tentatively without extending her claws, so it was not injured. It turned over and walked towards Xu Xin again.
This time, even the Silver King bared his fangs and let out a threatening growl.
"Wait a minute, don't attack!" Xu Xin stopped Yin Wang and Mimi who wanted to attack the pangolin, and stepped forward. He was wearing his own scale armor, so he was not afraid of the big pangolin suddenly attacking him.
As he got closer, Xu Xin noticed that many of the pangolin's scales were broken. They were definitely not just caused by Mimi's claws, but had been broken for a long time.
What bullied this pangolin
The pangolin stretched out its claws, hooked his scales, then turned and walked into the cave.
This means, you want him to follow
"嘤!" Coco pushed Xu Xin's cheek and shook her head to indicate no. She could sense the danger in the cave.
"Not as good as the heart, right?" Xu Xin asked with narrowed eyes, looking at the pangolin's back.
“…嘤.” Coco hesitated for a moment and nodded her head.
"That's okay, we'll go in together!" Xu Xin made the decision and clenched the crossbow in his hand.
With an explosive crossbow in hand that can even blow up your heart, you can no longer be timid.
The pangolin stopped at the corner and looked back at him, as if waiting for him to catch up.
"Come on, let's catch up!"
Just as Xu Xin was about to catch up, Mimi leaped lightly in front of him and entered the cave first.
It seems that Mimi is still worried about his safety. Xu Xin smiled and followed Mimi into the cave.
When the pangolin saw them catching up, it quickened its pace and led the way.
The cave was full of twists and turns, and there were many forks in the road, which looked like the underground maze he had walked through before. Xu Xin silently memorized the path in his mind, and left a mark on the edge of the cave every time he passed a fork.
Mimi stopped at a fork in the road, looked at the fork that the giant pangolin did not take, and her body suddenly tensed up.
Xu Xin frowned, stepped forward and looked in the direction Mimi was looking, his eyes suddenly locked and he took a deep breath.
The inside of the fork was still pitch black. It was a flat space like the first floor of an office building, only two or three meters high, but very large in area.
With his night vision and enhanced eyesight, he could see that this space was filled with densely packed pangolins!
These pangolins are big and small, and all of them are covered with red stripes!
He even saw a giant pangolin lying in the deepest part. Its height just when it was lying down was almost three meters high, and its body length was at least ten meters.
And unlike other pangolins, this one has no blood markings on its body, but its body is extremely huge.
… A giant pangolin like the giant anaconda in the lake and the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream? !
The giant pangolin walking in front saw that he didn't catch up, but looked towards that space. He immediately ran back anxiously and hooked his armor, as if he didn't want him to alarm the group inside.
Xu Xin let out a breath and continued to follow the pangolin.
That giant beast was not something he could deal with. However, Coco said that the danger level here was lower than that of the heart. If it was a giant beast, how could it be lower than that of the heart
Could it be a neutral unit like the giant crocodile
But why would neutral units be mixed up with a group of mutated beasts
Unfortunately, the map couldn't show the light spots underground, so he couldn't use the map to distinguish them. He could only avoid provoking them for the time being.
After turning a few more corners, the pangolin finally stopped at the end of a passage.
“This is…” Xu Xintong’s eyes trembled.
At the end of this passage, there is a small grass nest with two very small pangolins lying in it. When the little pangolins saw someone coming, they moved a few times, which was quite cute.
"Is this... your child?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
The giant pangolin moved its head slightly, as if nodding in acknowledgment, and then pushed the grass nest in front of Xu Xin.
"Are you going to entrust your child to me?" Xu Xin understood what the pangolin meant.
