"Yes, Sister Xuefei, they didn't mean it, don't be angry!" Li Wenxi came to Qi Xuefei's side, hugged her arm and said with a smile. Seeing Xu Xin finally came out, she was in a good mood.
"You..." Qi Xuefei shook her head helplessly. She wasn't angry, she just said it casually. She looked at the two people who had no scars except for being a little wet. "So, what did you encounter in there? Can you tell us?"
"Get on the horses first. It's time for us to leave. It's getting dark now. I'll send you back first and tell you while we're walking." Ji Chaoyang glanced at the white horse on which he was sitting not far away, and the white horse stood up and walked towards him.
It is indeed not suitable to explore again today.
Xu Xin looked up at the sky. Although it was only around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set halfway below the horizon. It would probably be completely dark in a few dozen minutes.
In winter here, the days are short and the nights are long.
It was 6 or 7 degrees during the day, and it would definitely be colder at night, so it was not suitable for exploring outside. Moreover, there were too many unexpected situations during exploration, so we had to be more prepared. Today was indeed a bit rushed.
Xu Xin pulled Li Wenxi onto the wolf.
"Let's go to Li Yajun first, take her with us, and then go directly to your tree house. I will leave after you figure out the coordinates." Li Wenxi leaned in Xu Xin's arms and looked up.
"Let's do it this way. That's what I thought too." Xu Xin nodded.
"That's just on the way. I'll send Qi Xuefei back first, and then go back to the tree house to get you some of my decorations to help you increase the success rate of your alchemy." Ji Chaoyang said to Xu Xin, and then the wolf and the horse rushed in the direction they came from.
Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the giant's arm again.
That arm must also be part of the giant's body, but I won't go there now.
Firstly, it is almost dark and it is not suitable for exploration. Secondly, we need to wait for Xu Xin to go back and explore the function of the energy core.
You know, the head was so successful because it had the consciousness of a giant, could condense its own core, and helped them a lot, but the arms had no consciousness and could not help them.
Therefore, there may be various dangers there, and you need to be fully prepared before going there.
Along the way, Xu Xin told Li Wenxi everything he had encountered.
This time, although it was also a secret of the world, the mysterious voice did not appear again. Now that I think about it, the mysterious voice may be the Bloodline Clan, the foreign invaders.
This time the secret was told to them by the giant and had nothing to do with the Blood Mark Clan, so they were not told not to tell the other survivors.
"Is it really the head of a giant?!" Li Wenxi was stunned after hearing their story. "A giant who protects the world? A world-destroying disaster? Divided into twelve parts? This giant is so pitiful... What is going on in this world..."
Although he told her about this experience, Xu Xin still didn't dare to tell her about the underground monster and what happened fifty years ago. After all, these things were controlled by the mysterious voice. So she still had only a vague understanding of the situation.
"At least, before we find all the giants' bodies, we can use his power." Xu Xin had just put the core into his backpack and took it out again.
The soft, white light and the change in the surrounding temperature made the three people around aware of it, and they all looked towards the core.
"Huh? The temperature around me seems to have... risen?" Li Wenxi said in surprise. She had just felt the temperature change in the mine, but she thought it was because of the cracks in the wall. Unexpectedly, it was because of this core.
Although the three of them were wearing blue-level or above armor and would not feel too cold because of the temperature at that time, they could still clearly feel the rise in the surrounding temperature.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang felt the change in temperature in the cave.
"Although I don't know what other functions it has, this thing seems to allow us to go out even in the cold winter without being affected by the temperature." Xu Xin's face was illuminated by the soft white light, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He was also afraid that his armor set would be useless after winter, and he would have to stay in the tree house and wait. But with this core, he no longer had to worry about this problem!
In this way, their plan can be carried out again!
"This is indeed a good feature. If you want to go out and explore, we can go together." Ji Chaoyang said to Xu Xin.
"Okay, we'll have the coordinates tonight, and it will be much more convenient then."
"Oh, right," Li Wenxi suddenly said, "We can both hear what you said behind that stone wall, but I shouted for a long time and you just couldn't hear me, right, Sister Xuefei?"
"Ah, yes, we can hear it." Qi Xuefei nodded. She was now fully accustomed to riding a horse and did not feel dizzy. "But no matter how we shouted, you could not hear us."
"Oh?" Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other again, and both frowned.
Is it because of the iron room
People outside can hear the sounds inside, but people inside cannot hear the sounds outside
That iron room is really becoming more and more like a prison, otherwise, how could it have one-way sound insulation
One cannot hear what is happening outside the house. Xu Xin couldn't think of any other possibilities except prison or a special laboratory.
Xu Xin thought of the skeleton who died in the iron room.
This iron room might not be for suppressing and monitoring him as the giant thought, but they couldn't figure out what it was.
I just hope that nothing happens to the iron room in the hilly resource area again.
The few of them soon arrived near Li Yajun's tree house, and as expected, the blood patterns on the Silver King's body began to light up again.
However, they are no longer surprised or worried. There is no harm in it anyway, so they just let it go.
"Take Qi Xuefei back with you." Xu Xin said to Ji Chaoyang, then looked at Qi Xuefei, "Sorry for making you run for nothing. Don't worry, we can figure out the coordinates tonight, so you don't have to run around like this in the future."
"Bing!"
"My key medicinal herbs are not yet mature, and there is nothing I can do in the tree house for the time being. I came out for a walk and felt pretty good. I'm glad that you are safe." Qi Xuefei said with a smile on her face.
"Ah! You're back!" Li Yajun had been observing any abnormalities around her. She saw them from afar and waved at them from the window of the tree house.
Ji Chaoyang nodded to Xu Xin and continued heading north with Qi Xuefei.
"Goodbye, Sister Xuefei!" Li Wenxi waved at the two people's backs, and Qi Xuefei also turned her head and waved.
The two stopped under Li Yajun's tree house. Li Wenxi looked up at Li Yajun, who was already a little excited: "We are here to pick you up!"
Li Yajun had already packed up everything in the tree house and was ready to leave. Hearing her say that, he immediately nodded and said, "I'll go down now!"
"Wait a minute, pull us up first." Xu Xin said as he rolled off the Silver King.
"Oh, okay!"
Compared to the morning, the interior of Li Yajun's tree house has been basically completely emptied. Except for the large green-level furniture that cannot be installed, all other things have been packed into the backpack.
Xu Xin took out his iron axe in front of Li Yajun.
“What is this…?” Li Yajun was confused, but not scared. She didn’t think the man in front of her pulled out the axe to harm her.
"It's time to collect the core of the tree house. Let's move away from it and be careful not to get hit by the wood chips." Li Wenxi pulled Li Yajun a little further away.
Xu Xin chiseled a hole in the floor, and Coco immediately and skillfully crawled in, took out the core, and climbed into Xu Xin's arms.
"This..." Li Yajun was a little surprised.
"Hmm!" The core in Coco's mouth had been taken away by Xu Xin. Turning around and seeing Li Yajun's surprised expression, he immediately cried out and raised his little head with a smug look.
"Go, get down quickly, the tree house is dying."
"Dead...dead? Oh well."
Several people stood under the tree house and watched the two-story tree house collapse in front of them, raising a layer of dust.
Li Yajun looked at the tree house with a complicated expression. After all, this was where she had lived for a long time. The cold wind blew and her body shivered.
Xu Xin immediately took out the energy core of the giant's head.
The soft white light illuminated the surroundings, and Li Yajun's expression also relaxed.
She glanced at the core in Xu Xin's hand with surprise on her face, but did not ask much. She just felt that the explorers' elders had so many treasures on them, and it was definitely the right choice to survive with them.
"Okay, you can dig out the tree house seeds." Xu Xin reminded her.
"Oh, okay!" Li Yajun immediately took out a shovel and started digging at the tree house.
"I'll help too!" Li Wenxi wanted to help but was stopped by Xu Xin.
He wanted to see if the owner of the tree house could dig out his own tree house faster. Xu Xin told them the reason.
"Is that so? All right then." Li Wenxi stood aside, holding the shovel he had already taken out.
Li Yajun nodded as if she understood, and continued digging.
However, her digging speed did not seem to be fast. After digging for more than a minute, she still did not knock down the tree house.
It doesn't seem to work, at least not as fast as they dig with steel shovels.
"Let me do it." Xu Xin took the shovel from Li Wenxi's hand, dug down the tree house in less than a minute, took out the seed, and handed it to Li Yajun.
Li Yajun got the seeds and breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little panicked when the mysterious voice reminded her that she had to own the tree house again within 24 hours, otherwise she would die.
"Let's go!" Li Wenxi patted Silver King on the back. "Let's ride Silver King back and go to Xu Xin's tree house first. It's a huge four-story tree house. You've definitely never seen one!"
"…Fourth floor?" Li Yajun opened her eyes wide, "That's really huge!"
"Hey, I haven't seen it either! Xu Xin, you go first."
Xu Xin glanced at her, knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Come on!" Li Wenxi's face turned a little red and she punched him lightly.
Sure enough, after Xu Xin jumped onto the wolf, Li Wenxi did not sit in front, but turned over and sat behind him, and then pulled Li Yajun behind her, just like Qi Xuefei before.
"Hold on tight, Silver King is very fast." Xu Xin reminded Li Yajun. Seeing Li Yajun nod and hug Li Wenxi's waist, he immediately said, "Silver King, go back to the tree house!"
"Ouch—" The Silver King let out a long roar, then suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the tree house.
"Ah!" Li Yajun didn't expect Silver King to be so fast and hugged Li Wenxi's waist tightly.
"Let's go to Xu Xin's tree house!" Li Wenxi was very excited and shouted while sticking to Xu Xin's back.
The Silver King's speed was maintained at the highest under the increase in speed in this vicinity, and soon, he was approaching the tree house.
"I see it! What a tall tree house!" Li Wenxi excitedly poked his head out from the side and looked at the tree house in the distance.
Li Yajun was similar to Qi Xuefei. She felt like vomiting after being jolted by the Silver King and dared not speak.
Soon, the Silver King emerged from the bare jungle, and Xu Xin's tree house appeared completely in front of the two of them.
"嘤!" Coco, who had almost fallen asleep in Xu Xin's arms, jumped up. Now he wanted to go back and take a nap on the soft sofa!
"Oh my god... This... This is too big..." Li Yajun's tree house was just a small two-story tree house. When she heard that Xu Xin's tree house was a four-story tree house, she thought it was just a four-story tree house as big as hers. But...
"Wow... From the outside, this is much bigger than my tree house..." Li Wenxi was also stunned, "I, I, I... Can I live here with you in the future?"
"What are you staying for?" Xu Xin said unhappily, "Have you forgotten what I said before? Come on, I'll take you upstairs."
"There's a small wooden house next to you! Is this the Red Mist Flower Sauna you mentioned?" Li Wenxi didn't even listen to what he said. She just kept looking around. "There are two parasitic tree houses! How amazing!"
“This… I don’t need it…” Li Yajun seemed a little reserved.
Only now did she realize what kind of big boss Xu Xin was. Not to mention the main tree house, even the two parasitic tree houses next to it were as big as her tree house.
"You're down there, do you want to freeze to death?" Li Wenxi held Li Yajun's hand, "Come on, let's go up, and..."
She glanced at Xu Xin, her expression becoming a bit amused: "There is another person up there, he is not afraid of others entering his tree house."
"Uh..." Xu Xin almost forgot about this and suddenly felt a headache.
This Lou Feier, please don’t let anything cause any trouble for him.
Suddenly, the beloved concubine came out of the hole in the ground, looked at the few people, and found that it was Xu Xin who came back, and she let out a crisp cry.
"Oh!" "Ying!" Silver King and Coco greeted them one after another.
"Ah!" Li Wenxi was startled, "Is this... a pangolin?"
"Another mutant beast..." Li Yajun was already a little numb. She felt that she would not be surprised even if she saw Kamen Rider here.
Fortunately, the two little guys didn't come out, otherwise, with Li Wenxi's personality, he would have run over and played for a while.
"Let's go." Xu Xin controlled the roots of the vines, pulling several people and animals into the tree house and directly to the third floor of the tree house.
…
Lou Feier was lying on the sofa at this time, still swiping her watch. She actually got a lot of information that day.
"It's almost dark, why hasn't that guy come back yet..." Lou Feier felt a little bored.
Her body should be able to get over the weakness in less than an hour. If he doesn't come back by then...
Forget it, I don't dare to escape, I'd better wait for the opportunity...
Suddenly, the walls of the tree house began to wriggle.
Lou Feier's eyes lit up, she stood up from the sofa and shouted, "Master! You are finally back! I want... Huh?"
She saw that behind Xu Xin was not only the Silver King, but also two women, one of whom was as beautiful as her and was holding Coco in her arms.
Huh? This guy brought women home? Two at once
This guy is really good! He has the potential to be a hero!
"Master?" Li Wenxi's expression of surprise at having jumped over a height of more than ten meters froze on his face, and his hand that was touching Coco's belly stopped.
She turned to look at Xu Xin, her face puffing up: "What does she want?"
"Fuck..." Xu Xin was completely speechless.
