Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 182: Tree house core

Views:

The owner of this tree house is not from their area

That's not right. This is the tree house closest to his tree house. How could it be different from his? Is he on the border of two regions

That's not right either.

During previous activities in the rainy season, he had seen the strong light emitting from the lightning rod on the roof of Li Wenxi's tree house. Her tree house was also in this direction and even farther away.

How could this tree house between him and Li Wenxi not be in their area

"Bing!"

Just when Xu Xin was puzzled, Coco on his shoulder suddenly jumped up, followed the hole-ridden tree trunk, and quickly climbed into the tree canopy.

Ah Fu also flew up and followed Coco in.

"Huh?" Xu Xin discovered that when he looked inside the tree canopy that Coco had pulled apart, he seemed to see that the inside was very dilapidated.

Eaten by ants

The trunk of the low tree house was only three meters high, and there were various holes on the trunk that could be stepped on, so Xu Xin climbed up in two or three steps.

After peeling away the tree canopy, Xu Xin was surprised to find that the walls and floor of the house in the canopy had been eaten away and were riddled with holes. Only a broken frame was left supporting the yellowed tree canopy outside.

This is a tree house that has been destroyed in every sense of the word.

Xu Xin crawled into the tree house through the big hole in the floor.

There were also some crafting tables, beds and other things scattered around in the tree house, but because the ants were only interested in the tree house, these things were preserved.

But he did not see the body of the dead tree house owner. Instead, he saw several green-level backpacks left behind by the tree house owner. They contained some basic supplies that were of little use to him.

Ah Fu flew a few circles in the space in the center of the tree house and landed on the ground. Coco also ran two circles and finally sat in the middle of the tree house and scratched the ground twice with his little paws.

Xu Xin threw away his backpack, dodged the holes on the ground that looked like traps, walked over to Coco and squatted down.

"What's wrong?" He looked at the place where Coco was scratching, which was the tree house floor that was not damaged much.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco waved her little paws and explained to Xu Xin.

"You mean, there are good things underneath!" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.

"Hmm!" Coco nodded her little head suddenly.

This location is not ordinary. It is the center of the tree house, and below it is the trunk of the tree house.

Could it be that there is something good in the trunk of the tree house

By the way, this tree house is only green-level, so it should be able to be cut down, right

No, if we cut them down, what if the surrounding protected areas suddenly disappear? That would be courting death.

Xu Xin took out an iron axe and decided to chop open the floor to see what was underneath.

"Coco, stay away!" Xu Xin swung the axe.

"Ah!" Coco quickly ran to the side and almost fell into the hole in the floor, then climbed up in a panic.

"Crack!" With just one blow of the axe, the floor cracked. With another blow, wood chips flew everywhere and the floor was chopped into several pieces.

Xu Xin picked up the broken floorboards and threw them aside, revealing his original appearance under the floorboards.

He was surprised to find that the tree trunk under the floor was hollow!

The trunk of the low tree house was about one meter thick, and in the middle of the trunk, there was a hole with a diameter of more than half a meter, leading directly to the ground. Xu Xin looked inside and saw a bead emitting a white light at the bottom, and it was even half buried in the soil.

The white light was real light, not the grade light that he could see with his identification ability. But strangely, like the tree house seeds, Xu Xin could not tell the grade of this bead.

The tree hole has a diameter of half a meter, which is enough for him to jump in. After all, the shoulder width of a human is only about thirty to forty centimeters.

But Coco had already jumped in before him, landed at the bottom of the tree hole, and curiously patted the bead buried in the soil.

"Coco, bring up the bead." Xu Xin shouted from above.

"Ying!" Coco responded, and used her little paws to pick up a white, egg-sized bead from the soil, held it in her mouth, and then jumped up from the left and right of the tree hole.

"Good boy!" Xu Xin touched Coco's little head with his hand and took the bead from its mouth.

The core of the low tree house: The core that provides energy for the tree house to grow. If the core is taken out, the tree house will die immediately. If the energy in the core of the low tree house is exhausted, a blue-level basic material can be upgraded to purple-level.

Xu Xin: “!!!”

This core can upgrade blue level to purple level!

The so-called basic materials and supplies are materials such as wood, stone, and ore obtained through mining, rather than materials and tools obtained through hunting or manufacturing.

But this is also very good. With the basic supplies, can't he make purple-level tools

etc…

After the core is taken out, the tree house dies immediately...

Holy shit, he's not in the reserve anymore, is he?!

Xu Xin quickly touched the trunk of the tree house with his hand and got a hint.

Dead low tree house (gray): A tree house with its core removed is completely dead. Its roots are still holding on to the land even though they are dead. Although it is no longer able to stop the attack of underground creatures, the underground creatures dare not drill out of the ground in the area with dense tree roots, so it can still play a certain protective role.

"This..." Xu Xin's expression was a little strange.

What this introduction means is that the dead tree house still exists within the protected area, but it is just a bluffing protected area simply because the underground creatures dare not come out!

But actually they can come out. When they appear on this land, they will not be sucked into dry shells. It’s just that no underground creature dares to be the first to come out.

"There is such an operation..." Xu Xin was speechless.

He took another look inside the tree hole and looked around the tree house. After making sure there was nothing else, he jumped down from the tree house holding Coco and Afu.

Silver King was lying under the tree house. When he saw Xu Xin coming down, he stood up and let out an "Ah".

Mimi has disappeared.

Looking at the map, Xu Xin found that it was nearby, circling around his position and sightseeing. Although the scenery in the jungle has basically not changed, it is still a good place for Mimi who has been underground for decades.

Xu Xin didn't call it back, but let it go. It could also help him scout the surroundings.

Looking back upward, the crown of the tree house, which had already turned yellow, had now turned into dead leaves. When the wind blew, the dead leaves fell one by one. Within a few dozen seconds, the entire tree house became a bare frame.

At the same time, the ruined tree house above the tree trunk also made subtle, dense and crisp sounds, which he could hear clearly as he had enhanced hearing.

In the end, the entire tree house cracked like a dry branch and broke into pieces of wood on the ground.

The two-story tree house, which was originally nearly ten meters high, was reduced to a three-meter-long trunk that looked riddled with holes.

Of course, it's not just the trunk. Beneath the land, there are its roots that spread for three kilometers. Although they are dead, they are still protecting the land.

As for why it is three kilometers, it is because the owner of the tree did not survive last night’s attack, and the tree house should not have been successfully upgraded, so the protected area should be around three kilometers.

… From this point of view, this tree house reserve actually does not overlap with his reserve at all, it just borders on it.

Fortunately, his protected area is nine kilometers in radius, which is larger than that of ordinary survivors, otherwise he really couldn't get through.

After figuring out his current situation, Xu Xin finally felt relieved and began to look at the tree house core in his hand that was emitting a bright white light.

The introduction says that by exhausting all the energy, a blue-level material can be upgraded to purple-level. In other words, a core is actually equivalent to a purple-level resource.

Or, the energy in the core of the tree house can be... replenished

It would be amazing if it could really be replenished. Wouldn’t it be possible to produce purple-level materials continuously

Thinking of this, Xu Xin clenched his hands holding the core and took a deep breath.

Purple-level materials can be used to make purple-level tools, weapons, and armor.

In terms of functionality, purple level and blue level are a huge watershed.

The set of scale armor he was wearing was a purple-grade suit, and he was well aware of the power of the purple grade.

Green-level suits have no abilities, while blue-level suits have one ability: body amplification. For example, blue-level iron or steel armor provides strength amplification, while blue-level leather armor reduces presence and improves stealth ability.

His purple-level scale armor not only increases his strength, but also gives him the ability to move freely underwater like a fish in water, and even has a deterrent effect on aquatic creatures. This is equivalent to providing him with a superpower!

From the perspective of weapons, blue-level weapons are far more powerful than green-level weapons. Perhaps, purple-level weapons will also start to have some special effects.

Not to mention the purple-level tools. The purple-level boning knife can cut purple-level materials, and the purple-level carving knife can carve purple-level crystals!

Production tools don't matter. A blue-level axe can chop down purple-level wood, and a blue-level pickaxe can mine purple-level ore. This is normal. Production tools can definitely mine higher-level materials, otherwise the materials cannot be obtained.

But... Even Li Wenxi, whose family is full of mines, seems to have never mined purple-level ore so far. Of course, maybe she didn't say it, but Xu Xin felt it was unlikely. After all, she basically couldn't use the metal blocks, and there was no benefit in hiding them.

Holding the egg-sized core emitting a bright white light in his hand, Xu Xin suddenly felt as if a storm was about to come.

This thing is too tempting.

Everyone wants to become stronger. Most people now wear green-level armor, and even those explorers may only have a set of blue-level leather armor. When Li Wenxi wanted to give a blue-level iron armor set, Wang Lei, Zhao Xiaochuan and Qin Yunlong argued for a long time about who should go out.

It's easy to tell what would happen if they learned that they could obtain such a powerful resource from someone else's tree house.

I'm afraid the conflict between people is about to begin.

This second stage is really full of dangers.

He didn't even know whether he should tell the other explorers the news.

After putting the core into his backpack, Xu Xin decided to go back and try out the function of this core.

As he turned around, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he turned back sharply and looked at the roots of the tree house.

If he uses a shovel to dig up the tree house, can he get a tree house seed
