"Red fog?" Xu Xin pulled a few people around him back a little and observed from a distance.
"Ao!" The Silver King shouted, but it did not retreat. Instead, it took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the cave, and found itself in the red mist.
Xu Xin did not stop it. After all, it was a mutant creature. It had been confirmed before that this red mist had the effect of enhancing the abilities of mutant creatures. It would be beneficial for the Silver King to enter.
As the entrance of the cave gradually opened and expanded, thick red fog poured out of it.
"It smells so bad..." Qi Xuefei covered her mouth and nose and frowned.
Li Wenxi also covered his mouth and nose and took two steps back: "This stench... is the smell of the red mist that permeated the cave earlier!"
This kind of fog is fragrant when the concentration is low, but it has a foul odor when the concentration is high.
Just the drifting red mist was enough to make people who were far away feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Xu Xin looked into the mine. At this moment, the red fog in the mine was very thick, as if a smoke bomb had been thrown inside. It was impossible to see the situation inside the cave clearly.
This concentration is almost catching up with the concentration of the red fog that surged up in the underground world passage before!
He suddenly felt a little scared. Fortunately, he did not stay in there. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the stench of such concentration. He would probably pass out from the stench and become completely unable to fight. He would be at the mercy of anyone who happened to be in there.
The blood patterns on the Silver King's body lit up again in the thick red fog. It didn't feel smelly at all. Instead, it seemed to enjoy it and took two steps into the cave.
"嘤!" Coco shouted at the Silver King outside the cave and wanted to jump over, but was pulled back by Xu Xin.
The concentration of the fog is too high, and Coco is not a mutant beast. If it goes in, it might get hurt.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco gestured with her little paws in Xu Xin's arms, and her voice sounded a little anxious.
Xu Xin understood what Coco meant.
Is there danger in the cave
"Silver King, come back, don't go any further!" Xu Xin shouted to the Silver King.
"Ah?" The Silver King turned his head and looked at Xu Xin. Its blood was as bright as the blood veins, as if it was stained with a hint of madness.
"Ah! What happened to Silver King?" Li Wenxi also noticed Silver King's abnormality and asked a little nervously.
"Silver King, don't go any further! Come back!" Xu Xin said in a commanding tone.
"Ah..."
Fortunately, the Silver King did not lose his mind as they imagined. He looked reluctantly at the cave where red mist was still emitting, responded, and returned to Xu Xin's side.
"嘤!" Coco jumped onto the Silver King.
Just like last time, red fog continued to spread outward from the mine, but there was a biting cold wind in the jungle at this time, so the fog could not gather near the hills at all.
After the mist spread out from the cave entrance, it was blown away by the wind.
This situation made Xu Xin feel relieved.
He didn't want this place to be surrounded by red fog again, becoming a dangerous area and being overrun by a bunch of mutated vines.
The cave entrance was now completely open and restored to its original appearance. Half of the spear that Ji Chaoyang had placed across the cave entrance was now stuck in the wall of the cave entrance, and the other half was broken and had disappeared.
"Now, we can basically confirm that this cave and this giant's head are alive." Ji Chaoyang held his chin and thought, "It seems that this red fog should soon dissipate. In a few minutes, we will be able to see clearly inside the cave."
Just as Ji Chaoyang said, the red mist in the cave was probably spreading out at this time.
This time it was not like last time where there was always red fog in the cave. Instead, there was only so much red fog. It has been drifting for a while now and the red fog in the cave has become much lighter.
Several people waited outside the cave for a few minutes, and the red fog in the cave had completely dissipated. Only a trace of red fog remained above the cave. This concentration was no longer a big deal.
The situation inside the cave was also clearly visible, and there was no sign of the danger that Coco had mentioned.
Xu Xin looked at the cracked wall inside the cave where he came out.
To his disappointment, the wall had been sealed and there was no sign of cracks at all.
"Coco, is there still danger now?" Xu Xin asked Coco who was lying on the Silver King and scratching its blood patterns with her little claws.
“Hmm… Hmm.” Coco shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t feel it anymore.
"Then I'll go in and take a look." Xu Xin walked forward.
"Alas!" Li Wenxi grabbed him and said, "You are too careless. You just encountered such a danger and you are going to go in again!"
"… I'll just wander around the cave entrance and not go any deeper." Xu Xin patted Silver King's head, "Silver King, come in with me. If something happens again, we can escape quickly."
"Oh!" Silver King walked to Xu Xin's side.
"Then... Then I'll go in with you!" Li Wenxi grabbed his arm and refused to let go.
"Don't go in, it's dangerous." Xu Xin shook his head, grabbed her hand and let it go.
"Let me go in with you." Ji Chaoyang withdrew his gaze from the depths of the cave and nodded to Xu Xin, "Let's just take a look near the entrance. There's no need to go deeper. You might have woken up this head just now."
"Head..." Qi Xuefei looked at the hill, "Is this really a giant's head?"
"It should be correct." Xu Xin basically agreed with Ji Chaoyang's guess at this time, "It's not only a head, it's also very likely the head of a so-called 'god'!"
"God?!" Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei both exclaimed.
"Does God refer to the voice that brought us into this world?" Li Wenxi first thought of that mysterious voice.
"I'm not sure." Xu Xin shook his head. "Let's go in and take a look first. I'll explain the matter of the gods to you later."
"Okay, then you better be careful."
Coco had already climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulders and was looking into the cave.
Xu Xin reached out and scratched Coco's chin, and Coco let out a comfortable "嘤~" sound.
Seeing that Coco didn't say there was any danger inside, he felt more relieved.
Coco's little detector has never failed.
He ate a few status-enhancing fruits and brought his body to its best condition. Ji Chaoyang also ate the same amount of status-enhancing fruits, and then, together with the two beasts, stepped into the salt mine cave.
The two women were responsible for keeping watch at the cave entrance, helping them pay attention to any emergencies inside and outside the cave.
There was still a very faint blood mist floating in the cave, but it was no longer a foul odor and had turned into a refreshing fragrance. However, if there were no oranges to boost your spirits, this fragrance would make you feel dizzy if you smelled it too much.
"Is this the salt mine?" Ji Chaoyang pointed at the white ore on the ground and asked, "Can we mine some now?"
"I don't know. I just scratched the ground twice and woke up this 'head'. I wonder if mining the rock ore will... By the way, if this is a head, then this salt mine is equivalent to... Tartar?"
The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
It’s a bit disgusting to think about it this way.
"It would be better if you don't think that way," Ji Chaoyang squatted down and carefully observed the salt mine, then stood up and said with a smile, "Besides, this might really be the head of a 'god'. The tartar of a god is not something that ordinary people can eat."
"... If you keep saying that, I'm going to vomit." Xu Xin was frowning. He didn't want to eat anyone's tartar.
He looked at the wall deep inside the cave again. After he walked in, he could see the wall more clearly. It was indeed completely closed, and there was no trace of anything.
"Haha, just kidding. Even if it's a giant's head, it's made of stone. Don't worry about it." Ji Chaoyang took out a pickaxe, looked at the distance from the mine entrance and said, "Let's give it a try. You don't have much salt left, right?"
The nearest salt mine was more than ten meters away from the cave entrance, and it would only take one or two seconds to run out. The two reached a consensus and decided to mine the salt mine.
Ji Chaoyang waved the pickaxe in his hand.
"Card!"
The salt was chiseled out with ease.
The two men watched the changes around them vigilantly, and it turned out that they were worrying too much, and there was no problem with mining the salt mine.
The two looked at each other.
Since there will be no problems in mining the salt mines for the time being, let's take this opportunity to mine more to avoid being unable to mine if something goes wrong in the future!
"Mining? I'll do it! Sister Xuefei, please keep an eye on the cave entrance for us!" Seeing the two people mining ore, Li Wenxi suddenly felt itchy to do it. He immediately said something to Qi Xuefei and ran in.
"Oh!" Qi Xuefei wanted to hold her back but failed, so she could only shake her head helplessly.
The entrance to the cave had just been closed, and no one knew what had happened inside. How could they start mining right away
"You two go explore, leave the salt mining to me!" Li Wenxi walked to Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, who were still paying attention to their surroundings while collecting salt, and took out her prospector's steel pickaxe.
"How did you get in..." Xu Xin looked outside and saw that only Qi Xuefei was there.
"Of course I have to do the mining." Li Wenxi grinned and knocked down with a pickaxe, which just triggered the multiple explosion rate, and the ground was instantly covered with salt ore.
“… Then I’ll leave it to you.” Seeing that Li Wenxi’s pickaxe had produced more minerals than what they had mined in half a day, Xu Xin immediately touched his nose and gave up mining on his own.
Professional matters should indeed be left to professionals.
"嘤!" Coco suddenly jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and ran towards the depths of the mine.
“This little guy!”
Xu Xin had no intention of going deeper, after all, he had just caused the abnormality in the deep place.
But Coco had already run in, and he was a little worried about the little guy, so he had to follow her.
The little guy won't put himself in danger. The fact that he dares to go in means that at least there is no danger in the depths of the cave now.
Ji Chaoyang also walked into the cave.
Coco stopped in front of the wall that had cracked before, stood up, and looked at the wall with her little head tilted.
"What's wrong, Coco? Is there something wrong with this wall?" Xu Xin came over and picked up Coco. He was a little afraid that Coco would directly paw at the wall and then activate this "head".
"Ah!" The Silver King seemed to have sensed something and shouted at the wall.
"Mmm..." Keke stared at the wall for a while, then pointed at the wall with her little paws, "Mmm! Mmm!"
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
"What does it mean?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
"... It should mean that there is something special behind this wall, and it might be very dangerous." Xu Xin said slowly.
"Danger?" Ji Chaoyang was about to touch the wall with his hand, but when he heard Xu Xin's words, he immediately withdrew his hand.
Who knows if there will be any problems if you touch it.
Xu Xin began to think about it.
Just now, after the wall cracked, Xu Xin saw a bright white light inside, but no red mist was spreading out.
As he ran outside, he heard the sound of wind behind him.
When the mine was opened again, it was filled with thick red fog.
What on earth is going on... Is the red mist coming out from behind this wall
What was that bright white light? He remembered that Mimi could also see the bright white light when she came out of the cave.
And the only bright white light he had come into contact with recently...
It is at the core of the tree house.
The core of the tree house will emit a bright white light!
It's basically the same as the luster of the light emitted from this crack!
Could it be that this "head" has some connection with the tree house
What exactly is behind this crack that can emit a bright white light like the core of a tree house and release mist that can enhance the strength of mutant creatures
In his opinion, these should be two unrelated or even hostile forces.
How could these two forces appear in the same place
