“Is this entire tree house supported by this one core?” Li Wenxi looked at the gem in his hand that was emitting a bright white light, then looked up at the ruins in front of him and exclaimed.
"Awooo--" a wolf howl came from not far away in the jungle. A few seconds later, the Silver King rushed out of the jungle and rushed towards the few people.
It seemed that the collapse of the tree house made it think that Xu Xin and the others were in danger, so it rushed over regardless of Xu Xin's orders.
"What a big wolf! A mutant beast?!" The Silver King's huge size, the blood marks all over his body, and the two extremely ferocious wolf fangs all showed that it was a powerful mutant beast. This made Qi Xuefei's face change drastically. She quickly took out a crossbow and was about to pull the trigger at the Silver King.
"No! Don't attack! That's Xu Xin's mount, the Silver King!" Li Wenxi quickly reached out and pressed down the crossbow in her hand, explaining.
"Mount... mount?" Qi Xuefei was startled. "Xu Xin's mount is actually a mutant beast?"
She knew that Xu Xin had a mount; they had talked about it in the Explorer before, but she thought it was just an ordinary beast. She didn't expect it to be such a big mutant wolf.
Silver King had already run to the tree house, which had become a ruin with only a trunk left. He looked at the few people who were unharmed and cried out in confusion, "Ah?"
"My Ah Niu is also a mutant beast, didn't I tell you that?" Li Wenxi walked to the Silver King and touched the Silver King's head.
At this time, Coco also jumped onto the Silver King and began to tell the Silver King in a sobbing voice what had just happened.
"You didn't say that." Qi Xuefei put away the crossbow and looked in surprise at the communication between the large mutant wolf that allowed Li Wenxi to touch its head and the red panda Koko.
How can these two animals of different species communicate with each other without any obstacles
What she saw today really surprised her countless times.
"Okay, let's dig out the seeds of this tree house first." Xu Xin took out his blue-level shovel.
"I'll help too!" Li Wenxi also took out a blue-grade steel shovel from his backpack.
Xu Xin was stunned when he saw the blue-grade steel shovel.
Yes, it is now possible to make steel tools.
Since iron tools were sufficient and could already cause damage to the tree house, he didn't think of making steel tools.
Just like in a certain game, an iron pickaxe is enough. Unless you need to dig something special, no one would make a diamond pickaxe. Steel is also used to make coordinates, which is also very rare. Only this rich woman can use the material unscrupulously.
Li Wenxi saw Xu Xin looking at the shovel in her hand and immediately handed it to him: "Do you want to see it? Here you go."
Xu Xin took the shovel from her hand.
The introduction of the steel shovel is basically the same as that of the iron shovel. The probability of digging seeds is 100%, and the probability of transplanting is 50%. These values have not changed, but there is an extra sentence of introduction at the end.
Increases the speed of mining when mining special types of trees.
Special types of trees.
Xu Xin glanced at the tree house next to him, where only half of the trunk was left.
The last time I saw this word was in the introduction of the Blue Iron Axe, which can chop down "trees of purple level and below, as well as some special types of trees".
Just yesterday, Xu Xin discovered that the tree house can only be cut down with a blue-level iron axe, which means that the tree house is a so-called "special type of tree".
Wow, this steel shovel is a tool for attacking the tree house
He remembered that the last time he used a shovel to dig, it took him half an hour. Lou Feier told him that when she used a blue-grade stone shovel to dig, it took her more than an hour.
I don't know how long it will take to make this steel shovel.
"Lend it to me for a moment. Wait a moment. I'll try the speed of the shovel." After Xu Xin said that, he swung the shovel and began to dig at the root of the trunk of the tree house, which was only half left.
"Is there any difference between a steel shovel and an iron shovel? It's not mentioned in the introduction." Li Wenxi asked curiously.
Without Xu Xin's ability to identify, Li Wenxi did not see the special function of the steel shovel. When she made it on the spot, she felt that it was the same as an iron shovel, which was a bit of a waste of materials.
"You can speed up the digging of tree house seeds. It takes about half an hour with a shovel to dig..." Xu Xin explained while digging. Before he finished speaking, a "click" sound of roots breaking came from the bottom of the half tree trunk.
"Hmm?" Xu Xin stopped what he was doing, thought of something, and reached out to gently push the tree trunk.
The "kaka" sound was heard again, and the tree trunk immediately tilted and slowly fell to one side.
"boom!"
Looking at the tree trunk that he had dug down and the seed in the hole left by the fallen tree trunk, Xu Xin stood there in a daze for two seconds.
So fast
It seems like it hasn’t even been a minute yet
Is that a bit exaggerated
If he happened to encounter a tree house whose owner was out, and he took a steel shovel and dug under the tree house for a few dozen seconds, would the entire tree house be dug down directly
Xu Xin opened his mouth slightly and looked at the steel shovel in his hand as if he was looking at a magical weapon.
It really is a special attack on the tree house!
This thing is a big trouble!
Fortunately, there should be no one else who can refine steel except him, otherwise it would be troublesome if someone came with a steel shovel to dig up the tree house!
"The shovel takes... half an hour?" Li Wenxi heard what Xu Xin just said, and pointed at the half-broken tree trunk on the ground with wide eyes, "The shovel is so fast!"
It’s fast, and can even be used as a weapon against the tree house, but…
Xu Xin thought about it.
For these explorers, the value of the steel shovel was not as high as they imagined.
They want to obtain the core of the tree house. If they dig the tree house down directly from the outside, the tree house will die immediately and the core of the tree house cannot be obtained. This is definitely a huge loss.
And although it only takes a few tens of seconds to dig out the tree house, it is still a bit long as a means of attack.
Unless there is no one in the tree house and the tree house has no means of automatic attack, it is difficult to dig down a tree house even with a shovel.
So, for them, the function of the steel shovel is more about saving time.
Not bad, in this world, time is the most precious thing.
Xu Xin returned the shovel to Li Wenxi, took out the seed of the parasitic tree house from the hole, and handed it to Qi Xuefei, who had been watching him operate with some curiosity: "Sister Xuefei, this tree house is yours."
"Ah," Li Wenxi quickly handed the tree house core she had been holding to Qi Xuefei, "Sister Xuefei, this core is for you too!"
Qi Xuefei did not refuse and took them all: "This is the seed and core of the parasitic tree house you mentioned, right?"
She looked at the core of the tree house and muttered to herself, "The level of basic supplies can be upgraded... Hemostatic grass is also considered a basic supply, right? Maybe I can start making purple-level pills."
Purple-level pills... sound so powerful, and I feel like they can bring people back to life.
Ji Chaoyang also has a tree house seed and a core, which he should also give to Qi Xuefei.
It seems that their lives are going to become even harder.
"Okay, now that we have dealt with the matter here, let's go to Sister Xuefei's tree house!" Li Wenxi was already impatient to leave. After all, there was a headless corpse and a lonely head lying not far away.
Although I no longer feel disgusted, it is still a bit creepy just looking at it.
"Um... should we bury him?" Qi Xuefei couldn't bear to see this man's body exposed in the wilderness.
It’s better to bury it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Burying it was much simpler. Xu Xin used a shovel to dig out two portions of soil, threw the body and the head in, and then filled the ground with soil again. The ground returned to its original state, and there was no sign that there was a survivor's body buried underneath.
"Wow... I just realized that this shovel is really a great tool for burying corpses... This is so convenient..." Li Wenxi stared at the smooth and traceless ground with his eyes wide open.
Indeed, with each shovel, one cubic meter of soil was dug out. Xu Xin dug out two pieces of white soil, threw the body in, and then filled the gap with the two pieces of soil. It was completely impossible to tell that there was a survivor's body buried here.
It's absolutely perfect.
"Alright," Xu Xin clapped his hands and called it a day. "Let's go, Silver King!"
"Wait!" Li Wenxi suddenly thought of a serious problem. She looked at Yin Wang, then at Xu Xin and Qi Xuefei, with a strange expression, "... You don't want us to hold you from the front and the back, do you?"
"Ah? This..." Xu Xin was about to jump onto the wolf, but when he heard Li Wenxi say that, he was slightly stunned. He had never really thought about this aspect of the problem.
To be honest, being hugged from the front and from the back is indeed the most stable way to sit. After all, only he who has signed a contract with the Silver King can sit on the Silver King's back as steady as a rock. Others can easily be thrown off by the Silver King's speed and his left and right movements.
Moreover, all three of them were wearing steel armor suits, so it didn’t seem to matter.
He ran all the way with Li Wenxi in his arms, which seemed quite intimate, but in fact he didn't gain any advantage. The steel armor really wrapped a person tightly.
Qi Xuefei's expression was also a little embarrassed.
To be honest, she didn't really want to be close to the man she had just met. She had never had any experience in love in her life, and the only men she had come into contact with were patients during her internship and dead bodies.
This is actually normal. Studying medicine is different from other majors. It is very tiring. Medicine requires a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree. The courses are fully booked starting from undergraduate level. You are exhausted all day long and don't even join any clubs. Who would have the time to fall in love
"Ah?" Silver King didn't know that he was about to face the fate of carrying three people in steel armor. However, with its current size and ability, it was not a big problem. At most, it would consume its physical strength faster.
"Then what do you say we should do?" Looking at Li Wenxi who was pursing his lips and moving his eyes between the two of them and the Silver King, Xu Xin could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a smile. Being with Li Wenxi, there were always little episodes that made people relax.
"Well... Sister Xuefei definitely doesn't want to touch you, just watch me!"
Finally, under Li Wenxi's command, Xu Xin mounted on the back of the Silver King.
Coco lay in his arms and looked back with some curiosity.
Later, Li Wenxi sat behind him and hugged him, while Qi Xuefei was behind Li Wenxi, hugging Li Wenxi's waist.
"Wen Xi's method is good." Qi Xuefei praised.
"Right!" Li Wenxi had a smug look on his face, and then glanced at Xu Xin, as if to say, if you want to take advantage of Sister Xuefei, no way!
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Then you two better hold on tight, especially you Wen Xi. If you don't hold on tight, you two will be thrown out."
"Don't worry, I'm holding you tightly!" Li Wenxi's hands instantly exerted a little more strength and he said in a muffled voice with his head buried.
Qi Xuefei was also laughing behind him.
"Then let's go, Silver King, let's set off and go out of the tree house in front!" Xu Xin pointed to the green area in the east.
“Ouch—”
