Chapter 210: All the way north

Xu Xin put away his halberd and explained this ability to Ji Chaoyang in detail.

"... It seems that the purple level is a qualitative leap compared to the blue level." Ji Chaoyang pondered for a while and asked, "Can I ask, what kind of suit is this on you? Could it be a purple level suit?"

"This suit," Xu Xin looked at the ordinary scale armor set under the sunlight, "The origin of this suit is complicated to explain, but I can tell you that the purple-level suit will give the survivor special abilities. This suit gives me the ability to move freely underwater."

His scales will only take on the true appearance of the giant anaconda scales in the center of the lake when they come into contact with water. Now they look very ordinary.

"… That means that other purple-level suits will also have special abilities." Ji Chaoyang thought, with a smile on his face, "Interesting. Xu Xin, it seems we have to speed up the collection of cores."

"That's what I've always thought."

The two were discussing under the tree house how to conquer others and collect cores more quickly. Li Wenxi had already changed into a set of steel armor, holding a steel spear and a crossbow, and came down fully armed.

The steel armor suit is not bulky at all, but instead gives the image of a heroic female general.

I had only seen Xu Xin twice in the video before, but now she appeared in front of me, and the visual impact was quite strong.

"How's it going? Not bad, right? Hey!" Li Wenxi poked and prodded with his spear, then put it away. The tip of the spear vibrated and clanged, and it really looked impressive.

"Not bad, not bad." Xu Xin clapped his hands with a smile, and then said, "Let's go, let's go to the north first and see if there is a connection to the protected area over there. Qi Xuefei should be to your north."

"Okay, then I..." Li Wenxi glanced at the Silver King secretly.

She didn't bring Aniu out, and in terms of speed, Aniu was still much slower.

In fact, the main reason was that she wanted to sit on the Silver King. The Silver King had silver-white hair and his body was covered with bright red blood lines. He looked so handsome!

"Then come ride the Silver King with me." Xu Xin saw what she was thinking, and of course he had no objection.

"Ah!" The Silver King also shouted, indicating that there was no problem.

“Great!” Li Wenxi cheered, threw himself on Silver King’s back, and rubbed his face against Silver King’s fur. “Hehe, it feels like a big dog! So handsome and cute! I’ve seen it several times in videos, and I’ve always wanted to give it a try!”

"Oh?" The Silver King's eyes were full of confusion, as if he was saying, what does Big Dog mean

"Then let's go." Ji Chaoyang jumped on his horse and said, "Let's go to the north. However, from this direction, there is no green at all. There may be no tree house over there. The survivor to the north of Li Wenxi may have died a long time ago."

There is a survivor from Area 187 sandwiched between Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei's tree houses. The location and life and death of this survivor's tree house determine whether this road can be passed.

"We can only go and take a look first."

"You go first, I'll catch you from behind." Li Wenxi said to Xu Xin.

Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "Actually, you can sit in the front if you want, and feel the speed and passion from the front."

"Hmm?" Keke tilted her head. Isn't the front its place? Is there no place for it

Li Wenxi's heart was immediately moved for a moment, but she immediately felt that since they had just met, it would be a bit inappropriate and not reserved enough!

"Well... uh... forget it." So she refused.

She climbed onto the wolf's back and grabbed Xu Xin's waist with both hands.

If it was the newly contracted Silver King, carrying two people on his back, who were wearing two sets of not-so-light suits, it would be very strenuous for him to run. However, after being promoted to a mid-level mutant beast, the weight of the Silver King has reached six or seven hundred kilograms, turning him into a real giant wolf king. It is no problem for him to run with two people on his back.

"Shall we go then?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

He looked at the two people sitting together, and suddenly felt a little redundant, and smiled helplessly.

"Let's go, hold on tight. Silver King, go north!"

"Awooo—" With a wolf howl, the Silver King took off.

"Oh oh good...ah!" Silver King was so fast that Li Wenxi was almost thrown out. She was so scared that she wrapped her arms around Xu Xin's waist.

However, one of them was wearing a scale armor suit and the other was wearing a steel armor suit, so there was no actual contact.

"Wow! So fast!" Li Wenxi exclaimed. Looking at the jungle rapidly receding around him, an excited look appeared on his face. "It's too fast!"

"Can't your cow run that fast?" Xu Xin asked.

"How can it be so fast!" Li Wenxi was afraid of being thrown off, so she hugged Xu Xin's waist tightly and said in the whistling wind, "I can't even sit still at this speed, and Ah Niu is not as flexible as Silver King!"

Indeed, the trees in the jungle were scattered randomly, and the Silver King moved back and forth in the jungle very nimbly without slowing down at all, even leaving Ji Chaoyang's white horse behind.

Just now when they were by the stream, there were no obstacles, and the white horse's speed was almost the same as the silver king's. But now in the jungle, the speed is completely inferior to the agile silver king. After all, the silver king was the wolf king of the jungle wolves, and he was already used to shuttling through the jungle.

"You two, be careful! Don't just chat and step out of the protected area!" Ji Chaoyang shouted from behind.

"Don't worry, if there is any danger, Silver King and Coco will warn you, and Silver King will stop on his own!" Xu Xin waved his hand behind him and said with his head tilted.

"Haha, it's so comfortable!" Li Wenxi leaned to the side and the oncoming wind blew directly on her cheek.

"Don't stick your head out, be careful not to hit the tree!" Xu Xin stopped her immediately. Silver King was moving through the trees, and sticking his head out to the side would be a disaster.

"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi retracted her head. She regretted not sitting in the front. However, the scenery rapidly receding on both sides was still exciting, which made her smile again.

"The Silver King is so strong! Actually, my Ah Niu can also charge, and his speed is not slow, but he can't turn when charging. If he dares to charge in the jungle, his head will be smashed!"

Indeed, Xu Xin did not choose a cow as his mount. First, it was because cows were too heavy, so he could only sign a calf. Second, it was because cows were too bulky and could not turn when running fast.

A bullfighter can make a bull play with him with just a piece of red cloth, so although the bull is strong, its fighting power and speed are not strong. Of course, for a rich woman like Li Wenxi who owns a mine at home, it is most appropriate to use a bull as a mount, because the bull has a high load-bearing capacity and is perfect for transportation.

The Silver King quickly shuttled through the jungle, followed closely by the White Horse, and the three of them soon approached the edge of the protected area north of Li Wenxi's tree house.

Up to here, they didn't see any green nearby, but in the distance, nearly 20 kilometers away, a hint of green appeared.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco suddenly cried out anxiously and pushed Xu Xin with her little paws.

Before Xu Xin could react, the Silver King braked to the side and stopped, baring his fangs forward and letting out a low growl from his throat.

…It seems that we can’t go any further.

"Don't go, there is a dangerous area ahead." Xu Xin said to Ji Chaoyang who had just caught up with him.

Ji Chaoyang reined in his horse and stopped beside him, sighing, "Your ability is really convenient. If it were me, I would have to try it out before I could know."

"Coco can really issue early warnings!" Li Wenxi reached out and pulled Coco away from Xu Xin, then rubbed Coco's little face.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco kept crying out as she was being rubbed. However, just like when Xu Xin was rubbing her, she did not struggle violently. She just protested and did not resist Li Wenxi's clutches too much.

Xu Xi pointed to the green in the distance ahead: "That should be Qi Xuefei's tree house, right?"

"If the location you said is correct, then this should be it. It is a three-story tree house." Ji Chaoyang squinted his eyes and observed for a while. "I can't see any other green in the closer places. The tree house in the north should have died a long time ago."

Dead tree house, only three kilometers of deterrent protection area.

The scope of Li Wenxi's protected area is also different from theirs.

He and Ji Chaoyang had added a three-kilometer range in the previous activities. Now the protected area is nine kilometers in radius. So even if the surrounding tree houses are within a three-kilometer protection range, they can still be connected because of the large range of their own protected area.

But Li Wenxi's protected area is only six kilometers in radius. If the other side is three kilometers in radius, the distance between the two tree houses must be within nine kilometers so that the protected area can be barely connected.

Obviously, the dead tree house in the north was more than nine kilometers away from her tree house, and the protected area was not connected, so they could not go any further.

Coco and Silver King's attitudes also indicate that the ground ahead is probably full of mutant creatures.

"What should I do? If this road is blocked, it will be a bit troublesome." Xu Xin rubbed his eyebrows and thought of a solution.

If the north side is blocked, then the distance between this place and Qi Xuefei's tree house is not as close as they see.

They needed to take a detour and try all directions of Qi Xuefei's tree house to see in which direction the protected areas were connected and accessible.

The worst possible scenario is that everything around her is disconnected and they cannot enter directly.

"To be honest, it's quite possible." Ji Chaoyang had thought of this a long time ago, and said in a deep voice, "More than 9,000 people died in Area 187 out of 10,000 people. The area of the protected area is only three kilometers. If they die too much, it is very likely that we will be divided."

"... No, don't forget the special nature of our area." Xu Xin got off the wolf and walked out of the reserve. "There are many masters in our area."

"Indeed, there is still hope."

"Hey, isn't there danger over there? What are you doing over there!" Seeing him walking out of the reserve, Li Wenxi quickly jumped off the wolf's back and ran towards Xu Xin.

"... Do you want to attract the mutant creatures out?" Ji Chaoyang did not stop him, but asked.

"Well, I want to see if these mutant creatures underground have undergone any changes in the second phase. Don't get close, it might be dangerous."

Xu Xin gestured to Li Wenxi not to come over, then took out a halberd from his backpack.

Silver King's behavior made him feel a little strange.

This was not the first time he brought Silver King to the border of the protected area. The last time the hilly resource area was filled with red fog, Silver King also went straight through the red fog and stepped through the dangerous area.

At that time, neither Silver King nor Coco's reaction to the danger zone was as intense as it is now.

At that time, the Silver King, which had not yet upgraded to an intermediate mutant, did not growl at the normal ground where no mutants had yet emerged, showing such a vigilant look. Now that it is stronger, it has become more vigilant.

The mutated creatures beneath the ground may have changed.

Xu Xin stepped half a foot out of the safe zone.

A sense of crisis rose in his heart, and he immediately retracted his legs and jumped back.

The ground suddenly cracked the moment he retracted it, and a thick blood-thorn vine emerged straight from the ground and rushed straight into the sky!

"hiss-"

The vines that emerged made the three people present gasp.

"Why is this vine so thick?!"
