When we returned to the tree house, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, and Mimi, Silver King and Coco were very hungry.
Xu Xin called Ah Fu up and distributed the frozen mutant beast meat that had been taken out long ago to the three mutant beasts. He then took Coco to the fourth floor to pick vegetables and prepare a big meal.
He wanted to reward himself after a busy day, as he had gained a lot today.
The red mist flower that can enhance the strength of mutant beasts, the plant heart that provides security for the land around the tree house, a pangolin that can burrow holes and is about to be upgraded to a mid-level mutant beast, and two small pangolins with the blood of giant beasts.
The heart fragments they obtained can also make the explorers truly the saviors of the entire area. The difference from the last time was that only a part of the people benefited last time, but this time almost everyone will benefit. In this way, the explorers' reputation will be raised to a higher level again.
When the second stage comes, it will be easier for them to expand their organization and fight against possible dangers.
Xu Xin and Coco prepared a table full of delicious food, and they ate with relish, their mouths drooling.
Holding his bulging belly, Xu Xin looked very satisfied. What could be more satisfying than a big meal after a fulfilling day
Because Xu Xin made so much and it was so delicious, Coco was so full that she lay on the ground, unable to move. She burped from time to time, and her big tail kept rubbing against the floor.
"This little guy..." Xu Xin picked it up, gave it a quick wash, and then snuggled into the sofa with Coco in his arms.
At this time, the few of them who did not go out to explore had basically decomposed the fragments of the mutant plant's heart.
Li Wenxi: "It has been divided and can be provided to them!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Do you want to list it on the trading platform now? What's the price?"
Qi Xuefei: "They basically only have green-level resources, we don't lack those things, so don't set the price too high."
Qin Yunlong: "Twelve kilograms each, ten green-level resources, in exchange for their lives, isn't that too much?"
Wen Guixin: "I agree. We can't give them away for free. I moved them all back ten times. I was so tired!"
Xu Xin: "Well, put it on the shelves now, just set the price. I'll go to the regional channel to notify them."
They will definitely be able to come up with ten green-level resources each.
Ji Chaoyang then sent a private message to Xu Xin: "After this event is over, I have something to discuss with you."
Mysterious, perhaps it was related to his experience of that day. It seemed that, just as he imagined, Ji Chaoyang had come into contact with some secrets of the underground world again. He could not tell anyone else and could only share it with him.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Xin replied, "Is it related to the underground world?"
"That's right, so I can only tell you. Things are complicated, let's talk about it after this event is over."
"good."
By this time, the regional channels were already filled with panic.
"The vines outside are all about to light up. Are they...going to attack us?"
"It's getting dark soon, and there's a red light outside the window. It's so creepy..."
"It's over, it's over. What should we do? These vines are full of thorns. They are much stronger than those in the morning. Is our tree house armor enough?"
The low tree house's canopy is only three meters high at the base, and the first-floor windows are about four meters high, while the blood-thorn vines are four or five meters high.
So as long as these people sit on the first floor of the low tree house, even if they don't want to look, as long as they glance out the window, they can see the densely packed blood-thorn vines glowing red and swaying in the air.
Even if you don't glance, the red light emitted by the vines outside has already affected the interior of the tree house.
It was indeed too scary. The current situation put much more mental pressure on them than on Xu Xin and the others.
"I strongly request the elders to sell me more armor. I am willing to pay double the price!"
"I'll pay three times as much!"
"These vines won't necessarily only attack the tree trunks, they're so high up, they'll definitely attack the tree house!"
"It's over, it's over. My life is over..."
Seeing that all the survivors were so panicked, Xu Xin immediately sent a notification on the regional channel.
"Everyone, the explorers have found supplies that can help you survive this event. They are pieces of mutant plant hearts. When ignited, they can disperse the mutant plants under the tree house. Everyone, go and buy them immediately. They are now available on the trading platform, and each person is limited to buying one piece.
Remember, even if you disperse the mutant plants, don't go out. The mutant plants outside have just burrowed back into the ground, and they will come out to attack if someone appears."
Xu Xin sent this sentence three times so that everyone could see it.
Suddenly, the entire regional channel was in an uproar.
"The elders have taken action again! The explorer is awesome!"
"There's salvation, there's salvation, hahahaha!"
"You can always trust Mr. Xu and his team!"
"Let me see... Shit, each piece can repel mutant plants for twelve hours, just in time for the end of the event!"
"I never panicked. I knew that the elder would find a way to save us!"
"Why do you need ten more green-level resources..."
"Isn't it good to be free? Anyway, the elders don't lack these resources. This resource is still very important to us."
"? Two green-level trees, ten green-level resources, you can't afford it, you think it's too expensive? Do you want to take advantage of the fruits of the elders' labor for free?"
"Just die. Jungle 188 doesn't want trash like you. Don't buy it. Just wait to die."
"Fuck, who said I can't afford it?!"
At the same time, the explorer group was also very lively.
Li Wenxi exclaimed: "Oh my god, these are selling out so fast, the ones I sold were sold out in seconds!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "It's the same here. It's gone in an instant. Damn, I forgot to save some for myself!"
Ji Chaoyang: "I still have some here, enough for all of us."
Qi Xuefei: "Then... what should we do with these green-level resources we got back? Divide them among the four of you, right?"
Qi Xuefei was naturally referring to the four people who had left: Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Wen Guixin and Wang Lei.
Wen Guixin: "They are all green-level resources. I don't really need them. They are not very useful to me."
Wang Lei: "Is there anything to eat? Just give me something to eat. There is nothing to eat in the jungle right now. The fruits and vegetables I planted are not yet ripe. I rely on your help."
Xu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Give all these resources to Li Wenxi and let her take care of them. Didn't you guys say before that she's good at handling logistics?"
Those who are more capable should do more work. Although Li Wenxi had told him more than once that she was lazy and even had to ask Xu Xin to do the transactions for her, it now seemed that she was definitely the best person to be responsible for organizing logistics.
Li Wenxi: "Ah? Put it here with me?"
Ji Chaoyang: "I agree. Just treat it as the organization's logistical support. Anyone who needs it can ask her for it."
Li Wenxi: "Ah... You can give it to me, I'll help you sort it out and keep it... Wow, don't just trade all the stuff to me, it's so messy! Sort it out and give it to me!"
Xu Xin stood up from the sofa, walked to the window and looked out.
Now, it was dark, past six o'clock. It was very quiet under his tree house, after all, he had cleared away the vines long ago.
Relying on his strong eyesight, Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, taking in all the scenery. Looking around, he saw at least two very conspicuous and special trees in the bushes. Those should be the tree houses of other people.
In terms of distance, it is indeed more than ten kilometers.
The protection range of his tree house is now six kilometers. I wonder if the protection range will be further expanded after the tree house is upgraded this time.
If both sides really increase the scope of protection, then I am afraid that the protected areas will really overlap.
Perhaps, this is what should really be considered in the second stage.
"Huh..." There shouldn't be anything for him to do next. It's time to take a break.
"Hmm?" Just as he was about to turn his head, Xu Xin suddenly became aware that the bushes a few kilometers away seemed to be shaking slightly.
What's going on
Is it because of the wind? No, the vibration is getting bigger and bigger!
Xu Xintong's eyes shrank and he immediately checked the map.
“… The danger at night is not just the vines under the tree house!” Xu Xin gritted his teeth.
About three or four kilometers away from the tree house, a lot of red dots suddenly appeared! And new red dots continued to appear!
These red dots did not suddenly emerge from the ground, but continuously poured out from about six or seven points, just like... just like ants pouring out of an ant nest!
Too many, this number is too much! This is much more than the number of red dots in the beast tide at the end of the novice protection period!
There were many locations where red dots kept appearing. Xu Xin was very familiar with two of them. One was a salt mine cave, and the other was the center of a lake in a hilly resource area!
This group of enemy units emerged from the holes that suddenly appeared yesterday!
Xu Xin's heart suddenly began to tighten.
Is it a normal beast tide? Or a beast tide of mutant beasts
This is really one problem after another!
"Hmm!" Coco, who was lying on the sofa and was so stretched that she didn't want to move, suddenly jumped up, took a few steps to the window and looked out.
It seems that Coco has also discovered the danger!
Even Yin Wang and Mimi, who were lying on the floor to rest after dinner, stood up.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang spoke among the explorers: "Everyone, I heard dense footsteps in the distance, and some sounds that sounded like insects. I'm afraid our troubles are not just these mutant vines under the tree house!"
Bugs? Could it be a swarm of bugs
Although there are a lot of these red dots, each one is relatively dim, probably about the same brightness as an ordinary wild cat. Coupled with the feeling of pouring out from a hole in the ground, it is really possible that it is a swarm of insects!
Xu Xin immediately said, "I saw it too. The jungle was shaking about three or four kilometers away, and it was getting closer to the tree house. Everyone, be alert! Have you guys planted the plant heart seeds?"
Wen Guixin: "I planted it. I planted it as soon as I got back!"
Wang Lei: “Me too!”
Ji Chaoyang: "It's okay, my side just reminded me to grow up."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Ah? Then what should we do? Will our tree house be attacked?"
Ji Chaoyang: "There are vines outside your tree house, which may help you resist some attacks. Don't use the heart fragments yet!"
Qi Xuefei: "No, those vines have already started to attack! If they hit the tree house armor, they will create a hole in one go! We must use it!"
Li Wenxi: "Me too! Oh my god! A piece of the tree house armor has been broken!"
Xu Xin looked at the map. Dense red dots had gathered into groups three or four kilometers away, and all began to move quickly towards the tree house!
At this rate, it won’t take more than a few minutes for this group of unknown enemy units to surround the tree house!
Xu Xin: "Then use it! After using it, the vines on the outside will still come out to attack, which should be able to play a defensive role!"
Li Wenxi: “Okay!”
What on earth are these red dots
At this time, Ah Fu, who was hanging under the tree house, also gave a warning scream, and Ai Fei, who was originally in the cave, also came out.
"Silver King, Mimi, Coco, let's go down!"
“Bing!” “Ah!”
Taking the three beasts down, Xu Xin looked at the dense jungle nervously.
The Silver King let out a deep roar, as if he was facing a great enemy. Coco also grabbed her shoulders nervously.
The beloved concubine suddenly brought out the two little guys. Xu Xin immediately understood what she meant. He carried the little guys to the tree house and then came down immediately.
As soon as he landed, Mimi suddenly rushed away at an extremely fast speed, and instantly rushed into the jungle and disappeared without a trace.
"Mimi!" Xu Xin didn't stop her and could only watch Mimi run away.
From the map, Mimi rushed towards a group of red dots approaching the tree house, and the moment she came into contact with them, she immediately turned around and ran back.
In just a dozen seconds, Mimi rushed out of the jungle with a pitch-black thing in its mouth. The thing was still struggling, and transparent body fluids kept dripping from its body.
Ants! They really are ants!
And they are not ordinary ants, they are giant ants as big as cats!
Mimi ran to Xu Xin in two steps and threw the ant with several holes bitten on it to the ground.
Just as it was swung out, a vine as thick as an arm suddenly emerged from the ground and pierced the ant in an instant!
"Hiss—" Looking at the vines rubbing against his toes and nose tip, Xu Xin took a breath of cold air, then showed a happy expression.
Although this vine has no blood patterns or thorns and is not a mutant vine, it seems to be no worse than a mutant vine!
