Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 272: The collapse of a three-story tree house

Views:

Xu Xin looked through the pile of things on the third floor again, but didn't find anything new.

There were a pile of tools on the ground, some were used for cutting, and some were used for polishing. Xu Xin didn't understand these things, but since they were tools, he put them into his backpack along with the unfinished heavy crossbow.

This heavy crossbow looks like it is almost finished. After I sign the contract with Ma Hongwei, I will let him continue to complete it and perhaps I can get another good weapon.

After collecting all these things, the entire third floor was left with only wood and debris on the ground, all of which were green-level, and were all worthless waste resources.

Xu Xin came to the second floor, and Lou Feier had already put all the decorations in the tree house into her backpack.

"Are there any special decorations?" Xu Xin asked.

"No, they are all very common, green-level crystals of various colors, mahogany, these are picked up during the rainy season." Lou Feier also took out a few small items to show Xu Xin, "The others are small decorations bought from the points mall."

The decorations sold in everyone’s points mall are the same, so even if you snatch decorations that others have bought from the mall, they are useless and can only be put in the parasitic tree house.

"Give it to him and put it in his tree house when the time comes." Xu Xin nodded.

Since he has a special functional area called the External Weapon Research Lab, he needs decoration points to increase it. Although I don't know what the use of adding amplification points to this lab is.

Increase research success rate

That should be the case. Qi Xuefei also said that her drug research might fail.

Xu Xin came to the first floor.

Coco had been waiting for him on the first floor. When she saw him coming, she cried out and scratched the floor of the tree house.

Its current position is the center point of the tree house, which is also the location of the trunk of the tree house.

This is to let Xu Xin chisel open the floor of the tree house so that it can go in and take out the core of the tree house.

but…

The first floor of this tree house is about seven or eight meters high. If the core is taken out and the tree house dies, how are they going to get out

Collapse along with the tree house

Or, jump out of the window. But that's not a low height...

It shouldn't be a big problem. Seven or eight meters is about the height of a three-story building. As long as he jumps down and rolls to cushion the impact, he won't get hurt. With his current physical fitness, rolling to cushion the impact is too easy.

But the unconscious guy on the second floor...

Xu Xin returned to the second floor and told Yin Wang and Mimi that when the tree house collapsed, they should remember to protect Ma Hongwei and not let him die.

After hearing this, Mimi used her claws to lift up the unconscious Ma Hongwei and made him lie on the back of Silver King.

"Ah?" The Silver King was stunned for a second, then he shook his body to make Ma Hongwei lie down more upright so that he would not fall easily.

Well... that works too.

Xu Xin returned to the first floor of the tree house.

"Are we going to get the core of the tree house?" Lou Feier had been waiting on the first floor, staring at Coco. She was a little excited to see Xu Xin coming back, as she had never seen the scene of getting the core of the tree house.

To be honest, Xu Xin was also a little bit looking forward to it.

Because this tree house is not one of the green-level tree houses he had obtained before, but a blue-level tree house!

A higher level tree house. He has not yet obtained the core of the blue level tree house!

I wonder what the core of this blue-level tree house has, can it be used to obtain materials of a higher level than the purple level

No, it shouldn't be. Even if it is, Xu Xin and his team can't use it for the time being. After all, to make weapons and armors with materials higher than purple grade, the basic materials need to be purple grade. How can they have so many purple grade materials!

There’s no point in guessing, so let’s just chisel it open and take a look.

Xu Xin took out his blue-level iron axe, and Coco jumped behind him.

He swung the axe in his hand and with a "click" it hit the floor in the center of the tree house.

The floor cracked immediately, but the degree of cracking was much smaller than when Xu Xin dug the floor of the green-level tree house. Compared with the green-level tree house, the blue-level tree house is stronger in all aspects.

Xu Xin continued to chop. It took him more than ten axes to completely chop down the ground, which originally only required two axes. This revealed the cavity in the tree trunk below.

The trunk of the blue-level tree house is also much thicker than that of the green-level tree house, and the hollow hole in the trunk is also much larger.

Xu Xin looked inside and saw a gem emitting a bright white light buried in the soil at the bottom, half of which was exposed outside the ground.

The bright white light was much brighter than the core of the green-level tree house.

This light is exactly like the light emitted by the giant energy core fragment in his hand...

Is there really any connection between the two

But the tree house seed was given to him by the mysterious voice. According to his speculation, the mysterious voice should be the Blood Mark Clan who now controls this world, that is, the outsiders of this world, rather than the giant beast lineage.

What is the secret behind this

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

I can’t figure it out now.

"Coco, go down and bring up the core."

"Bing!"

Coco had been eager to try at the entrance of the cave for a long time. After hearing what Xu Xin said, she immediately rushed in.

“Hmm… ? So this is how the core is obtained…” Lou Feier’s eyes turned slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

"After the core is taken out, the tree house will be destroyed immediately. Remember to jump out and don't get buried." Xu Xin warned.

"Yeah, I got it." Lou Feier also leaned over and looked down.

Coco had reached the base of the tree trunk by now.

The core is seven or eight meters away from the first floor of the tree house, so before Coco went down, Xu Xin had not noticed its size. After Coco went down, he had a reference. He was surprised to find that the core of the blue-level tree house was much larger than the core of the green-level tree house.

The core of the green-level tree house is only the size of a fist, while the core of the blue-level tree house is a lot bigger, and it seems like Coco’s little mouth can’t hold it anymore.

Coco first patted the core with her little paws, then pushed it twice, but the core did not move at all.

It used its hands, feet, and even its mouth, but failed to get the core out of the soil.

"Boo! Boo!" Coco grabbed the core twice and whimpered in anger.

"Keke, stop digging. You can't bring it up even if you dig it out. Come up quickly." Xu Xin stopped Keke.

“Ying…” Upon hearing that, Coco’s ears immediately drooped and her big tail drooped to the ground.

But it also knew that the pearl was too big for it to hold, so it couldn't help much, so it could only jump up sideways, and then threw itself into Xu Xin's arms: "嘤..."

"I'll go down." Lou Feier volunteered, sat on the edge of the hollow tree hole, looked at the core below and said, "I can bring it up."

The hollow hole in the green-level tree house is wider than the width of a person's shoulders and can accommodate a person. The hollow hole in the trunk of a blue-level tree house is even wider, basically as wide as a well. It is no problem for Lou Feier to jump down and she can even move around easily.

"Okay." Xu Xin touched Coco's little head and nodded in agreement.

He was going to go down by himself, but since someone else wanted to do it, he didn't have to do it himself: "Remember to come up immediately after getting the core, the tree house will collapse immediately."

"Understood!" Lou Feier saluted in a very unstandard way and then jumped down.

She rubbed her feet and back against the tree hole and slid down, stepping on the soil below.

"The core of the blue-level tree house, the core of my tree house, is this the case?"

Lou Feier reached out and touched the core, and immediately, a warmth flowed through her body.

Does this core have this function

In the parasitic tree house that Xu Xin assigned to her, there was a tree house core embedded in the center of the floor, where it was constantly charging with energy and emitting a bright white light.

She had studied the core for a long time but hadn't found anything.

Touching that core doesn't feel like this.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin saw Lou Fei'er start to be dazed after touching the core, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Ah, I'll take the core up right away!" Lou Feier came to her senses and quickly reached for the core.

The result was the same as Coco, I couldn’t lift it.

She dug the surrounding soil with her hands, took out a dagger, inserted it under the core, and then pried it hard.

The core was immediately pried off.

"Come up quickly!" Xu Xin could already feel the floor vibrating slightly.

Through the window, he saw that the leaves of the banyan tree outside were turning yellow rapidly.

This blue-level tree house is about to collapse!

Lou Feier didn't waste any words. She kicked the two sides of the tree hole with her legs and quickly jumped up with her agile body. Then she handed the core of the tree house to Xu Xin: "Here you go."

Xu Xin didn't even have time to read the introduction. He directly put the tree house core, which couldn't even be contained in one hand, into his backpack and said, "Let's go!"

Coco was already standing by the window watching them. When she saw Xu Xin coming over, she immediately jumped out of the window before them.

Coco was very light and landed very easily. After landing, she turned around and called to them, asking them to come down quickly.

Xu Xin also jumped out of the window immediately.

The moment he landed, he rolled over, relieving most of the impact and landing perfectly.

Standing up, he dusted himself off.

Lou Feier also rolled beside him and stood up nimbly.

Mimi and Silver King were even more relaxed. Despite their huge bodies, they landed easily after jumping out. Ah Fu didn't have to worry anymore. He flapped his wings and flew out slowly, looking back at the withering tree house in mid-air.

Ma Hongwei, who was unconscious on the back of the Silver King, was not so lucky. After the Silver King landed, he rolled off the wolf's back due to the bumps and fell face first on the ground.

… As long as he’s not dead, it’s fine. Give him the mutation pill to activate his mutation power, and even the most serious injury can be healed.

The banyan tree leaves in the tree house in front of us have completely withered and fallen, revealing the square tree house inside.

Dozens of heavy crossbows also appeared on the outer wall of the tree house.

Only then did Xu Xin discover that half of these heavy crossbows that had been hidden in the canopy of the tree house were new crossbows developed by Ma Hongwei.

The tree house made a "crackling" sound similar to that of a branch breaking, and then cracks appeared on the wooden exterior wall of the tree house, becoming more and more dense and larger.

And those heavy crossbows actually began to develop cracks along with the tree house, and began to loosen.

"boom!"

As they watched, the entire three-story tree house collapsed, along with all the heavy crossbows, turning into ruins!

Only a solitary tree trunk remained standing in the center of the ruins.

The collapse scene of the blue-level tree house is much more spectacular than that of the green-level tree house.

"It's turned into a ruin..." Lou Feier opened her eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of her, then turned her head to look at Ma Hongwei who was lying on the ground, "This guy will probably go crazy after waking up. When he woke up, his home was gone."

Xu Xin walked into the ruins, rummaged around a few times, and after making sure that the heavy crossbows were also destroyed along with the tree house, he sighed.

Unfortunately, those are all new blue-level heavy crossbows.

But fortunately, he got a blue-level tree house core!

He took the core out of his backpack.

The core of the tree house: The core provides the tree house with growth energy. If it is taken out, the tree house will die immediately. The energy in the core of the tree house can upgrade blue-level materials to purple-level. When the energy is full, it can be upgraded three times in a row. The white light emitted by the core of the tree house will make wild beasts feel scared and dare not approach. At the same time, it can dispel the heat and cold around the holder.

"oh?"

This core has something!

What Xu Xin had obtained from the green-level tree house before was the core of the short tree house. The core of the short tree house could only upgrade a blue-level resource to the purple level, but the core of this small tree house could be upgraded three times in a row when full of energy.

It was not bad, it was within his expectations.

However, the abilities introduced later made him feel very familiar.

Drive away wild beasts and maintain temperature
