Xu Xin called Ah Fu in as well, and the man and two beasts quickly finished the meal.
When they reached the first floor, Silver King and Mimi had basically finished dealing with the pile of vines. There were many shriveled vines scattered around, and four barrels of mutant vine juice on the ground.
Seeing that they had finished processing the last one, Xu Xin collected the mutant vine juice. There were more than 400 kilograms in total, which was enough for a while.
"You two did a great job, do you want to take a break? Or should we go now."
"Ao!" Silver King barked, indicating that he was full of energy and did not need to rest. Mimi also paced to his side. It was obvious that he couldn't wait to go out.
When I brought the four beasts to the tree house, my beloved concubine had already returned. It seemed that she had basically finished dealing with the mine.
Next time he goes to the mine, he has to make it waterproof, otherwise it will be flooded when it rains. The same goes for the cave where his beloved concubine lives.
In fact, pangolins generally do not have a fixed residence, and they basically move to a new place every two or three days, so I am afraid that my wife has no awareness of waterproofing. However, the soil is relatively unimportant, as long as it is not a super heavy rain, the water will generally be absorbed by the soil.
Because his beloved concubine had to take care of two little ones, Xu Xin didn't take it with him, and its speed was not fast and would slow them down.
He originally planned to have his wife dig another hole in the ground near the tree house to use as an underground space for growing red mist flowers and build a "sauna" for them. However, after having a steel frame structure, he gave up the idea of building it underground.
It’s better to build a small room directly on the ground, so you don’t have to worry about water getting in when it rains.
Let’s talk about this after he comes back, he can’t wait to find other people’s tree houses!
After climbing onto the wolf's back, Coco also climbed onto the back of Silver King's neck. Mimi paced back and forth beside him, while Ah Fu lay on top of him. All were ready.
Xu Xin touched Keke's tail and pointed to the east, saying, "Let's go over there! Don't run too fast. I want to observe carefully."
"Awoo—" The Silver King howled out of habit and started running.
Soon, they ran out of the resource area and came to a place that Xu Xin had not explored before.
With his ability to identify, he knew there were no resource areas here, so he had never come here to explore before.
He usually moves between the tree house and the northwest hill resource area, and only came to the east when he obtained the copper treasure chest during the jungle exploration activity.
But this place was just as he had imagined, extremely desolate. Perhaps it was because it was in the second stage. There wasn't even a single fruit tree here. There were only large tracts of white poplar trees, occasionally dotted with green light, which was almost as barren as the birthplace.
After walking for such a long time, not only did his identification ability fail to find any usable resources on the ground, his alchemical ability also failed to find any alchemical materials.
… This place is too barren.
The protection range of Xu Xin's tree house is now nine kilometers in radius. He is now almost at the edge of the protection range before the upgrade, about six kilometers.
There was a small hill of about 10 to 20 meters about a hundred meters away. Xu Xin asked Yin Wang to run over, and he turned over and got off the wolf.
To be honest, he now has an inexplicable fear of these hills. He always feels that these small hills protruding from the jungle are monsters in disguise.
"Coco, this hill is safe, right?"
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her little head to indicate that she didn't sense any danger.
Yes, if there is danger, it will take the initiative to protect itself.
Xu Xin climbed to the top of the hill in two or three steps, and Mimi also jumped to the top of the hill with him very nimbly and easily.
He looked towards the east, and as far as he could see, there was still a dense jungle that seemed to have no end in sight.
The identification ability was only within a range of one kilometer, and he did not see any light of resources within this kilometer, which meant that there was nothing worth exploring nearby.
"What is that...?"
In the southeast direction, about six or seven kilometers away, within the distance that his current vision could clearly distinguish, Xu Xin saw a special tree that was much taller than the surrounding trees. Its dense branches and leaves showed that it was a banyan tree.
Found the other survivors’ tree house!
Judging from the height, it should be a two-story tree house, and the canopy is much smaller than his. It should be a low tree house that is originally one-story, and another floor was added during the dungeon activity.
Well, a tree house for the average survivor.
"Can you see the tree that looks similar to our tree house?" Xu Xin asked Mimi.
The hole in Mimi's eyes shrank into a vertical line, then she nodded and let out a soft cry.
This surprised Xu Xin a little.
Although cats generally have a wider visual range than humans and their visual sensitivity is many times that of humans, most of them are nearsighted and can only see things nearby; everything in the distance is blurry.
He didn't expect that Mimi could actually see things seven or eight kilometers away.
Could this mutation actually enhance vision? He was increasingly confused about the direction of this mutation.
It seems that as long as one can control the mind and not lose will, this mutation is developing in a completely favorable direction. Perhaps it can really be called an evolution.
Xu Xin and Mimi came down from the hill, climbed onto the wolf, pointed in the direction of the tree house and said, "Silver King, head in that direction."
The Silver King howled in response and broke into a run once more.
At this stage, there were no wild beasts or mutant creatures around, and the one man and four beasts moved forward unhindered.
After a minute or two, the Silver King was about nine kilometers away and should be stepping out of the dividing line.
"Silver King, slow down!" Xu Xin was still very cautious.
Judging from the distance, he should have already stepped into the protected area of the tree house he had just seen. His current location should be the part where his tree house protection area overlaps with that tree house protection area.
I took two more steps forward and suddenly a voice was heard.
Reminder: do not leave the tree house more than nine kilometers, otherwise something you don’t want to see will happen.
"Stop!" Xu Xin stopped Yin Wang and Mimi.
"Hmm?" Coco turned her head, not understanding why Xu Xin stopped.
This reminder sound again, what does it mean, don’t other people’s tree houses protect him
However, judging from Keke's attitude, there didn't seem to be any danger, but Xu Xin felt that he should still be cautious. He pointed to the jungle in front and said to Mimi, "Mimi, quickly go to the front forest and take a walk. Be careful."
Mimi is not afraid of things that come out of the ground.
Mimi jumped forward instantly and jumped out of the protected area in one step. Then she looked back at Xu Xin and began to walk slowly.
Xu Xin: “…”
He felt despised.
"Let's go." Xu Xin said helplessly to King Yin.
He suddenly discovered that among this group of four beasts, he seemed to be the only one who was unaware of the existence of the mutated creatures underground.
Silver King Mimi and Afu are both mutated beasts, and they should be able to sense whether there are mutated creatures around them. Coco is special, and he can also do it, but only he can only see whether there are enemy units above the ground on the map.
But it didn't matter, they were his contracted beasts, and their abilities were his abilities. It seemed that he didn't need to be so careful in the future, they would remind him.
The Silver King stepped out of the protected area.
Once you leave the protected area, the survivors will no longer be protected by the tree house. It is recommended to return immediately!
This hint is really scary. If someone who doesn't know the truth hears this, he really won't dare to move forward.
The man and four beasts continued to move towards the tree house.
"It's so desolate around here..." Xu Xin sighed.
He was indeed lucky, as he found a place with mountains, water and resources. Although there were more fierce beasts when the wild beasts awakened and there was also a giant anaconda in the lake, at least there was nothing missing around.
It is extremely difficult to establish a tree house in a place like this in the early stages.
Continuing forward, a green area appeared in front of Xu Xin's eyes.
It is not the green of the resource area, but a small patch of green, which is the color emitted by the tree house and a small patch of green-level trees planted by survivors near the tree house.
These green grade trees should be planted after enriching the soil with fertilizers.
Apart from that, the surroundings are still so desolate.
Xu Xin soon arrived under the tree house.
Looking at the tree house, he frowned.
What happened? Why is the trunk of this tree so broken
Although the tree crowns looked very lush, the leaves had begun to turn yellow, and the trunks looked as if they had been cut into pieces. Those that were not equipped with tree house armor had scratches several centimeters deep and even some puncture holes.
Apparently this is the treehouse that got a taste of the vine attack during yesterday’s event.
This tree house must be close to death.
His hearing is now very strong and he can hear every sound around him, but the entire tree house is very quiet, as if there is no one inside.
Being so close to his tree house, he must be from the same area as him.
Could it be that the tree houses of those who refused to listen and died during the day were attacked like this at night
Xu Xin came under the tree house and touched the trunk.
A low tree house on the verge of death (green): A dilapidated tree house that has lost its owner. The tree house without its owner will dry up and die in 24 hours. The remaining survival time of this tree house is 5 hours and 21 minutes.
Sure enough, there was no one in the tree house and the owner of the tree house was dead!
Besides, the timing is wrong!
According to the time calculation, the owner of this tree house died in the attack of vines and ants last night.
…Isn’t that right
In their area, although some people who refused to listen died during the day, the number of people shown on the regional channel never decreased after Xu Xin and his team distributed the heart fragments at night.
Xu Xin checked the number of people on the regional channel again. There were 3016 people. Nothing wrong. That was the number of people last night.
What's going on? The owner of this tree house is not from their area
