"...Yes...I lost..." He slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Xin, speaking incoherently.
Regained consciousness
Xu Xin's eyes lit up: "When did you regain consciousness?"
However, Ma Hongwei did not speak again. Instead, he closed his eyes, his arms supporting his body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground.
Dozens of scratches, dozens of times of absorption of vitality, for him, his body has reached its limit.
At this time, the bloodstains on Ma Hongwei's face had not faded, which meant that he was still in a state of explosiveness.
However, the originally bright red blood veins had dimmed. Although the explosive state lasted for an hour, he had exhausted all his strength and could no longer exert his current strength.
"He fainted directly. Your weapon is really exaggerated." Lou Feier was traumatized by the halberd that cut her throat. She didn't dare to get close to Xu Xin and looked at Ma Hongwei on the ground from a distance.
Xu Xin retracted the halberd, squatted in front of Ma Hongwei, and took out a mutant beast contract from his backpack.
"Is this the contract?" Seeing Xu Xin retract his halberd, Lou Feier came over and looked at the card in his hand curiously, "The words on it are so strange."
This kind of text might be the text of the Blood Mark Clan.
Xu Xin crushed the contract in his hand, and the fragments turned into specks of light and merged into Ma Hongwei's body.
This time, it went very smoothly, smoother than any previous time.
The moment the light merged, a prompt sound rang in Xu Xin's ears.
Contract a mutated human and gain points: 0.
It succeeded in an instant. It seemed that Ma Hongwei had surrendered from the bottom of his heart.
good.
"Is it over, just like that?" Lou Feier was a little disappointed. She thought she would see some grand scene, but the result was just the same as the contracts she had used before.
It's just that the contracts she used, such as the tree house transformation contract in the silver treasure chest, or the mutant human maker contract she obtained from the dungeon, were all integrated into her body and formed a contract with herself after being crushed, while this mutant beast contract was integrated into the other party's body.
"Is it so unceremonial? You don't have to... What are you going to do!" Lou Feier looked at Xu Xin, her eyes widened instantly, she jumped up from the ground, and retreated several meters.
Xu Xin was turning the bracelet on his left hand. He glanced at Lou Feier who was looking at him warily, and extended his left hand to Ma Hongwei.
His left hand touched Ma Hongwei, and Ma Hongwei was immediately put into the bracelet.
Lou Feier breathed a sigh of relief. She was too sensitive about the bracelet.
Xu Xin stood up and walked to the tree house where only the trunk was left.
He looked at the tree trunk, then took out the blue-grade steel shovel he borrowed from Li Wenxi from his backpack and threw it to Lou Feier: "You come and dig it."
He would rather let others do the work than do it himself.
It takes dozens of seconds to dig a green-level tree house, and this blue-level tree house may take more than ten times as long.
"I... okay." Lou Feier had no way of refusing and could only be forced to do the manual labor helplessly.
The blue-level tree house was indeed more resistant to digging than the green-level tree house. She dug for nearly ten minutes before she finally dug down the only remaining tree trunk.
"boom!"
The tree trunk fell to the ground, and Ma Hongwei's tree house truly became history.
Xu Xin took the seed out of the tree pit.
It is exactly the same as the seed dug out before, it has not grown larger and has no color grade. It is just an ordinary parasitic tree house seed.
However, it was also mentioned in the introduction that the shape of the tree house grown from the seeds has nothing to do with the soil fertility, but only depends on the original shape of the tree house before it was excavated, so this seed can be used to grow a blue-level parasitic tree house.
But this cannot be seen from the seeds alone, even Xu Xin, who has the ability to distinguish, cannot see it.
If he mixed it with a bunch of low-level tree house seeds, he would not be able to find which one was the high-level tree house seed.
It's a bit like a blind box.
I don’t know if anyone will sell tree house seeds in the future.
By the way, can this thing be traded on the trading platform
"Okay, let's go." Xu Xin walked to the side of the Silver King and climbed onto the wolf.
Now that everything is taken care of, it's time to go back.
"Oh, okay." Lou Feier also climbed onto the wolf's back.
Just as it was about to be triggered, Mimi suddenly let out a somewhat frustrated cry.
It no longer wants to run such a long distance continuously.
"Who told you to come out together?" Xu Xin shook his head helplessly. "Why don't I put you in the bracelet and let you out when we get home?"
Mimi raised her head and seemed to be interested.
"Don't do that, Mimi. You'll go crazy. It's super scary in there!" As a fellow contractor, Lou Feier immediately wanted to stop Xu Xin's devilish behavior and persuaded Mimi.
Ah Fu also let out a sharp cry, trying to stop Mimi.
"We can give it a try. It will only take about ten minutes anyway," Xu Xin suggested.
Mimi has been imprisoned in the dungeon for decades, and its tolerance to that kind of environment is quite high.
If Mimi also feels afraid of the bracelet, then this bracelet can only be used as a means of punishment.
Eventually, Mimi decided to be lazy and not to make the long journey, so she was put into the bracelet by Xu Xin.
"It will definitely regret it!" Lou Feier insisted, gritting her teeth and saying, "You are the devil!"
"Why don't you go in and keep Mimi company." Xu Xin glanced at her sideways.
"No, no, I still prefer to sit behind my master!" Lou Feier immediately admitted defeat, with a smile on her face, "My master is doing this for its own good, he doesn't want it to get tired!"
Without Mimi, Ah Fu could only fall on Yin Wang and lie behind Lou Feier.
"Let's go!" Xu Xin touched Coco, who was beginning to feel drowsy again in his arms, and said to King Yin.
"Awooo--" The Silver King let out a long roar and headed towards Li Wenxi's tree house in the north.
"Xu Xin, did you discover the core of this tree house by yourself?" Lou Feier suddenly asked on the way.
"…Why, what do you want to say?"
"I watched the regional channel of Area 187. It's been so many days, and they still haven't discovered the core of the tree house."
The core of the tree house is indeed difficult to find. If Coco hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought of chiseling open the center floor of the first floor of the tree house to expose the tree trunk underneath, and naturally he would have no chance of obtaining the core of the tree house.
The core of a tree house cannot be obtained by directly cutting down or digging up the tree house. The core of a tree house must be obtained while the tree house is still alive.
"Well, it was thanks to Coco that I discovered it." Xu Xin touched Coco's little head who was sleeping in his arms. Coco was his little lucky star.
"Is that so... What do you think? Should I tell them about the core of the tree house?" Lou Feier suddenly asked.
“…Why? What do you think?” Xu Xin frowned and asked.
"Look, there are only so few people left in District 187. They can't be our opponents anyway. I told them to help us collect cores. Maybe, we can even cause a civil war among them!" Lou Feier felt that her idea was correct. "By then, we can also get more cores!"
Xu Xin was silent.
He had had such an idea. After all, the number of tree house cores that could be obtained by explorers alone was very small. But in order to prevent confusion, they had not even informed the people in the area about the tree house core.
If this kind of thing were to be announced, it would probably instantly become the fuse of chaos.
If it was just like this now, killing and robbing would only get a parasitic tree house, it would not cause too serious a conflict. After all, parasitic tree houses are basically of no use to many people.
But if the tree house core could be upgraded with purple-level materials, it would be too tempting.
Before, Xu Xin didn’t want to see this kind of thing happen. After all, advantages are relative.
It’s like a group of people encountering a tiger in the wild. The people who run away don’t need to run faster than the tiger, they just need to run faster than everyone else.
And only they know how to obtain the core of the tree house, which is the information gap that can quickly widen the gap between people.
In this way, they are most likely to become the "escapee" who survives in the end.
But now, his thoughts are gradually changing.
Can you really survive to the end if you are a "runner"
After seeing the words left by the giant, he also realized that the world behind was not stable. Even if he escaped from the tiger, there might be another group of wolves appearing. Therefore, improving their strength as quickly as possible might be what they should do.
Even if other areas improve their strength much faster, it will be more difficult to deal with.
"I will discuss this with all the explorers. Before that, don't tell District 187 about this." Xu Xin said after a moment of silence.
"Okay, got it!"
Soon, they returned to Li Wenxi's tree house.
Li Wenxi saw them from the window and swung down immediately.
"You guys came back so late! I've been waiting for you since the tree house over there collapsed." Li Wenxi walked over, hugged the sleeping Coco in his arms and caressed her.
"Xu Xin insisted on fighting the mutated Ma Hongwei with bare hands, and was even thrown down while crossing the street." Lou Feier immediately exposed Xu Xin's shortcomings.
"Ah?" Li Wenxi was startled after hearing this, and immediately moved closer to Xu Xin, asking a little worriedly, "How is it? Are you okay?"
"Do I look like something's wrong?" Xu Xin spread his hands.
He briefly told Li Wenxi about their experience.
"So, I took this tree house and Ma Hongwei away with me."
"Take it away, take it away. It's not mine in the first place. By the way," Li Wenxi pointed to the coordinates, "Ji Chaoyang came just now. He went to the east of my tree house and said he would bring the tree house to my east back to me and explore that place by the way."
East
By the way, there is a one-story tree house to the east of Li Wenxi. Due to an unexpected situation yesterday, it was dark when I came back, so I didn’t go to deal with it.
"Okay, then I'll go back first. I have to settle our new member first."
"Well, I have to go do something too. It's not good to let Yajun go out mining alone." Li Wenxi nodded.
After activating the portal, Xu Xin turned around and waved to Li Wenxi, and was immediately teleported.
The world was spinning, he was falling rapidly, and then he stepped into his own safe zone.
To his surprise, he no longer felt any discomfort and had completely adapted to the portal.
"Ugh..." Lou Feier fell to her knees.
This time she chose to lie down and curled up on the ground: "It's so uncomfortable... I will never teleport again..."
Yin Wang and Ah Fu also collapsed to the ground again.
"Do you feel better this time compared to last time?" Xu Xin asked.
“… No… It still hurts…” Her voice was almost tearful, “Next time, don’t ask me to teleport unless it’s something very important… Ugh…”
“… You can go to Hongwu’s room.” Xu Xin looked at the guys who were lying on the ground again and gave a suggestion.
Maybe red mist can mitigate the side effects.
After hearing Xu Xin's words, Silver King stood up unsteadily with Ah Fu on his back.
Lou Feier also propped herself up from the ground: "Yes, red fog... but I... can't stand up..."
Her face was pale and she tried twice but her legs were too weak to stand up. She could only look at Xu Xin pitifully.
Xu Xin could only pull her up, help her to the door of the room, and open it.
A red mist emerged from the room, which shocked Lou Feier and made her originally pale face turn slightly red.
"Awoo!" The Silver King's body trembled, and Ah Fu raised his little head on the Silver King's back and flapped his wings twice.
"It seems to work!" She opened the door and quickly got in, her legs no longer weak.
“… You guys go in too.” Xu Xin covered his nose, frowned, and said to Yin Wang and Ah Fu.
Silver King and Ah Fu both responded before going inside.
Xu Xin quickly closed the door and gasped.
It smells so bad!
"By the way, Mimi." Xu Xin quickly took Mimi out of the bracelet.
As a result, Mimi fell to the ground as soon as she came out, and she looked weak and dizzy.
What's going on
Xu Xin was stunned for a second before reacting. Even if he put the mutant creature into the bracelet, he still couldn't escape the side effects of the portal.
Looking at Mimi’s current condition, it seems impossible to know how it feels in the bracelet.
Xu Xin quickly let Mimi into Hongwu's room.
After doing all this, he went to the window of the cabin and looked inside.
Lou Feier sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, and two blood lines began to appear on her face again.
The other three were also lying quietly on the ground, their blood veins gradually brightening.
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the group went in together and nothing happened.
Let them stay in there.
Xu Xin walked away from the tree house.
He took out the seed that looked very ordinary, held it in his palm and looked at it for a few seconds.
Let’s plant Ma Hongwei’s tree house. However, since it is a blue-level tree house, we have to choose a suitable place.
His banyan tree will continue to spread and expand the area inside the tree house, so don't let the parasitic tree house get too close.
Otherwise, it always feels like the two tree houses are connected.
Where should it be planted
