Ji Chaoyang is finally back
Xu Xin felt relieved. He really didn't want anything to happen to Ji Chaoyang.
The giant pangolin had already dug a hole a few meters away from the base of the tree house. Because the ground here was already loosened by the vines, it was very soft, so it was very easy to dig.
The big guy stuck his tail, which looked very much like a weapon, into the ground as a tool to stabilize his body, and then began to dig a hole in the ground.
Xu Xin first sent Coco, Mimi and Yin Wang upstairs to rest, and then he came down carrying the two little pangolins. While watching the big guys busying themselves, he clicked on the regional channel.
Ji Chaoyang: "I also killed that heart. Xu Xin, Wen Guixin, Wang Lei, including my heart fragments, there are four of us, four hearts in total, which should be enough to supply the entire district."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Fuck! Boss Ji! Boss Ji is back!"
Wang Lei: "I told you, Boss Ji will be fine. The big boss loves to disappear for no reason. But this time, I am also the big boss, hahahahaha!"
Qi Xuefei: "Where have you been? We are discussing the organization's actions, and you, one of the organizers, are not here."
Ji Chaoyang: "Just like Xu Xin last time, he arrived at a place where his watch had no signal, and he just came back not long ago."
Wen Guixin: "Boss Ji, where have you been? Last time, Xu Xin was deep underground and had no signal. Is it the same for you this time?"
Ji Chaoyang: "... Well, it's not easy to explain, but it is indeed a dangerous place."
Xu Xin's heart moved when he heard Ji Chaoyang's ambiguous reply.
This is not his style. In the past, if he had any information, he would be willing to share it with others, not to mention that the relationships between people in the organization are much closer now than before.
He chose to conceal it. In Xu Xin's opinion, there was only one possibility, that is, this matter involved the secrets of this world and the underground world, and it was not allowed to be shared with people who were not aware of it.
So Xu Xin helped smooth things over: "Okay, it doesn't matter where you go, just come back. The vines will probably start attacking after six o'clock. Our top priority now is to split these heart fragments into small pieces of twelve kilograms each, and then distribute them to other survivors. How is the progress of strengthening the vines on your side?"
Li Wenxi: "Only about the last tenth has not yet lit up. It should take only an hour for all the blood thorns on the vines to light up completely. I gave your portion to them to help cut it. Now the two portions of Sister Gui Xin and Wang Lei have also been cut. Only Ji Chaoyang's portion has not been processed yet."
Ji Chaoyang: "I'll share it with you now."
Qin Yunlong: "Sister Wen Xi is good at logistics management. She has put us in good order."
Li Wenxi: "Hehe, I was a member of the student union in my freshman year. I did odd jobs all day long. I was given orders so many times that I became familiar with this kind of thing."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I understand. When you become a sophomore, you can command the freshmen, right?"
Li Wenxi: "I was so busy in my freshman year that I almost failed a course. In my sophomore year, they wanted me to be a department head, but I refused!"
Wang Lei: "Hey, hey, hey, stop reminiscing about the past. You're just saying things I don't understand. We're trying to survive. It's a matter of life and death, why are you still chatting?"
Wen Guixin: "Life or death? I don't feel anything. It's pretty relaxing. By the way, what clubs did you join in your undergraduate studies?"
Wang Lei: "Wow, I'm leaving the group..."
Qin Yunlong: "I will withdraw too..."
Qin Yunhu: "Do you know the diving club?"
The atmosphere in the explorer is really relaxed now, making Xu Xin feel very relaxed.
The two little pangolins suddenly twisted and turned in his arms, as if they wanted to get off.
Xu Xin tried to put them both on the ground, and they immediately ran to their mother, imitating her by sticking their tails in the ground and using their little paws to help dig holes.
Soon, a few minutes later, a hole six or seven meters deep appeared under the tree house.
Xu Xin collected the soil that was thrown out after they were dug up. After all, it was also green-grade soil, so he put it on the fourth floor to grow vegetables.
Xu Xin looked into the cave and asked, "Can I go down now?"
The giant pangolin barked to indicate that it was okay.
The hole was dug at an angle, a bit like the entrances to the previous caves, but it was much smaller, and it was impossible to walk down without hitting your head. Xu Xin simply slid down like he was riding a slide.
A small space more than one meter high and less than ten square meters in area was dug out below. Sunlight shone in from the hole behind him, and the overall feeling was a bit like a small attic.
Xu Xin discovered that the roots of the tree house were already faintly visible on the ground in this small space. No wonder the giant pangolin stopped digging here, it turned out that it had dug to the root of the tree house!
It seems that the roots of the tree house are covered with about six or seven meters of soil, which is very thick, giving him the opportunity to use the underground.
Xu Xin touched the soil in the cave and found it was very firm and hard.
Although the soil on the upper layer is very soft, it is already compact hard soil below two or three meters, which can provide protection for the underground space. As long as the space is not too large, the ground will not collapse due to digging.
The red mist flower seeds he obtained in the first cave can be planted underground. Originally, he wanted to plant them in the tree house, but he thought it was inappropriate. The red mist would leak out when the door was opened and closed, and his tree house would be filled with red mist, which would cause trouble for him.
He can let the giant pangolin drill out of a small underground room and plant the red mist flower seeds inside. He will then make a door and seal it. In this way, a red mist sauna room is ready. Silver King, Mimi, Ah Fu, and the giant pangolin can all come in and enjoy the baptism of the red mist and improve their abilities when they have nothing to do.
It doesn't matter if some red mist leaks out when opening and closing the door. We are outdoors anyway and it will be blown away by the wind.
stable!
At this time, the giant pangolin was lying in the innermost, and the two little guys were eating milk hard.
No wonder the two little guys had to break free from his arms just now, it turned out they were hungry. Fortunately, he also brought the giant pangolin with him, otherwise, where would he find milk for these two little guys who were not weaned.
However, can he help dig holes before being weaned? As expected of a giant beast, he has been gifted since childhood.
Although pangolins are covered with scales, they are not reptiles, but viviparous mammals. They are as special as bats, the former being the only mammal covered with scales, and the latter being the only mammal that can fly.
Coincidentally, Xu Xin now owns both of these animals, which really satisfies his collecting habit.
"Then, you will raise these two little guys, and I won't bring them to the tree house?" Xu Xin asked.
The giant pangolin nodded. Since it had followed the baby out, of course it had to raise the baby itself.
Xu Xin stroked his chin, looked at the pangolin that was breastfeeding, and said, "We need to give you a name. You should be the spouse of that giant creature, or one of its spouses. Since that creature is like your emperor, why not call you... My beloved concubine!"
The giant pangolin concubine turned her head slightly and said nothing, seeming to be speechless about the name.
"As for these two little guys, let's call the older one the Crown Prince and the younger one the Little Prince." Xu Xin clapped his hands. These two little guys might grow up to be two giant pangolins. They were born with noble bloodlines, so there was nothing wrong with calling them by these two names.
The two little guys ignored Xu Xin and continued to drink milk vigorously.
Xu Xin didn't notice the pangolin's habit of breastfeeding, so he stopped disturbing them and quietly left the newly excavated cave. As for the matter of the Red Mist Flower Cave, he would leave it to it after this activity was over.
After crawling out of the cave, he stood at the entrance and felt that the cave looked weird no matter how he looked at it.
Now there is a barren land under the tree house, and a lonely hole is revealed. Although it is protected by the plant heart, Xu Xin still thinks that the hole is too exposed.
He ran to the trading platform and bought some red berry seeds, scattered them around the hole, and then bought a few bags of green-level fertilizer from the points mall and sprinkled them on the hole. In an instant, tiny buds began to grow on the surrounding red berry bushes.
This way, tomorrow morning the area will be covered with red berry bushes and won't look so out of place.
Perfect.
Xu Xin clapped his hands. He planned to transform the open space under the tree house.
The plant heart can protect an area of 100 meters from harm, so he plans to turn the open space below into his back garden.
His plan was to fence off an area of 90 meters in radius, leaving a 10-meter buffer zone.
In this way, if a wild beast attacks, it will be blocked outside the fence and attacked by vines. The guardrail and the plant heart can also provide the greatest protection. At the same time, the wild beast that cannot reach the bottom of the tree house will be completely within the range of the tree house's heavy crossbow.
An area of ninety meters may sound small, but it is actually thirty-eight acres, which is enough for him to grow crops and raise livestock!
The more he thought about it, the more perfect it seemed, and Xu Xin couldn't help but smile.
If what he envisioned could really come true, then the tree house would really feel like a doomsday fortress. As long as he wasn't attacked by giant monsters like giant anacondas, giant crocodiles, and trolls, he could just lie in the tree house and enjoy his vacation even if a tide of beasts came.
The area under the tree house should also be used. Although it will not be exposed to sunlight, some shade-loving shrubs and fungi can be planted. Of course, green-level ones are fine.
Although the tree house can defend against attacks from wild beasts, it is still powerless if a natural disaster occurs. Therefore, unless tall plants cannot be planted on the fourth floor of the tree house, blue-level resources still need to be planted on the fourth floor of the tree house.
Let’s make use of the shade under the tree house today.
He bought some seeds of red berry bushes on the trading platform, scattered them on the ground, and then found some fungal spores to sprinkle on them. In this way, in a few days, the area under the tree house would be full of these things.
As for other places, we will wait for the wild beasts to return and then see how effective the vines are in protecting them.
