The direction the pointer was pointing to was exactly the direction the stream was flowing from, which meant that the silver treasure chest was most likely on the same path he had taken when he came here.
“Could it be a black bear cave?”
Xu Xin looked at the compass and fell into deep thought. When he came from the birth point, he actually looked around carefully. Except for a black bear cave on the way, there didn't seem to be anything special.
Of course, the location of the treasure chest cannot be thought of with common sense. After all, who knows that the copper treasure chest is located in the tuberous roots of the vine
This location was extremely hellish. If it weren't for his ability, he would have been hit by now, and even if he didn't die, he would have been injured.
The location of the silver treasure chest this time is probably unusual, so we have to be careful everywhere.
"Let's go to the black bear cave first. I wonder if there are still bears in the cave now."
The skin of the black bear that Xu Xin killed had become the backpack on his back. He opened the map and looked at the black bear cave on the map. There was no red light in the cave at this time.
"This black bear might really be the one in the black bear cave." Xu Xin was a little happy. If that was true, it would be the best.
Last time, he only managed to kill a wounded and defenseless black bear with the help of the tree house. If he really faced a black bear head-on with a cold weapon, he would only turn into bear shit. If the black bear was not dead, he could only outsmart it.
At this time, Coco was lying on the table, moving the compass needle with her little paws.
The compass had entered the cooling phase and would not be usable for the next two hours, so the pointer turned weakly as Coco turned it, like a clock with a screw loose.
Xu Xin clicked on the regional channel, and the number of people in the channel had dropped below 8,000, with only 7,987 people left. He remembered that he had taken a look when he left in the morning, and the number of people in the regional channel was 8,140 at that time.
"150 people died so quickly?" Xu Xin was a little shocked. These people might have been killed by the monsters carrying treasure chests. Moreover, some people might not have encountered a copper treasure chest for the first time, but a gold and silver treasure chest. The monsters guarding those treasure chests might be even more powerful.
Now it seems that the so-called last-man elimination is just a means to get the survivors out of the tree house. The real danger is the monsters guarding the treasure chests.
Xu Xin became cautious and didn't want to die in the monster's sneak attack.
As a cautious person, if he didn't have a map that could help him predict danger in advance, he might have stayed in the tree house and not come out even though he had obtained the bronze treasure chest.
At this time, someone in the regional channel was already saying the same thing.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone back?"
"I'm back, I'm back. I got the bronze treasure chest! I had just walked a short distance when a snake as thick as a bowl came out from the ground and wrapped itself around me. I was almost strangled to death!"
"Ah? Was that a snake you encountered? Then how did you survive?"
"Hehe, I was lucky. The stick in my hand just caught its mouth. This snake was strange. It broke into pieces after a few seconds. If I had held on for a few more seconds, I would have been strangled to death. Fortunately, there was a copper treasure chest in the hole it came out of, so I didn't get strangled in vain. Anyway, I won't go out again. NIMA is too dangerous. One copper treasure chest is enough."
"You are really too dangerous!"
"What about you? Did you get the copper treasure chest?"
"Me? I haven't left yet."
"? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"One of my legs was bitten off by a wild beast. I'm already waiting to die. I'll die anyway if I get out. Maybe not many people will find the treasure chest. These 50 people on the bottom are randomly selected from all those who return empty-handed."
“… You have a pretty good attitude.” “My condolences, my friend.” “We will die together.”
A few words from other people popped up sporadically on the regional channel.
"If you have a bad attitude, you don't have to die? You should die happily. By the way, what's in your copper treasure chest? Can you tell me?"
"Nothing much, just a bag of fertilizer and two packets of seeds."
Xu Xin watched their conversation silently.
It seems that although some people did not die in the beast tide, they were seriously injured and basically unable to move. Otherwise, they would not have stayed where they were and left their fate to fate. This also sounded a wake-up call for Xu Xin. Being seriously injured means that they will be eliminated in the next event.
And from what the brother who got the treasure chest said, it seems that the dangers faced by each person are different, but the things in the bronze treasure chest seem to be similar. I wonder if his seeds are the same as mine.
Originally, Xu Xin wanted to get some information from the channel, but since each survivor hid their treasure chests in different locations and encountered different dangers, it was of no use as a reference.
In order to avoid being sleepy in the afternoon, Xu Xin ate an orange, left a few oranges he picked in the morning in his backpack, put the rest in the tree house, and gave one to Coco.
The little guy enjoyed the meal very much.
"Don't drop orange juice on my shoulder."
"Bing!"
Following the stream, Xu Xin walked upstream. This was a route he had walked many times. The first time was before planting the tree house, the second time was to pick up pebbles (green) in the stream, and he also got stones (green) in the black bear cave. He walked back and forth.
During these trips, Xu Xin actually didn't notice anything unusual about the road along the stream.
The Silver Chest is likely to appear suddenly like the Bronze Chest.
Moreover, there might be special situations like the weeds and shrubs beside the stream, indicating the location of the treasure chest, so Xu Xin walked while paying attention to whether there were any subtle changes around him.
Seeing the black bear cave in front of him, Xu Xin realized that he had been walking for a long time with high concentration and had actually reached the black bear cave. There was no red dot on the map, at least for now, there was no black bear in the cave.
Black bears are animals that can travel both day and night, so Xu Xin couldn't know whether the black bear had not returned to the cave yet or had been made into his backpack, but it was always better to be careful.
Xu Xin stared at the map with his consciousness, his eyes fixed on the interior of the cave, and slowly, with light steps, he walked into the cave.
The strange sound of wind rang in Xu Xin's ears again.
There should be a large cave-like space under the cave, and the air flowing inside will make this sound. Perhaps, we can explore the tip of the iceberg of the underground world here.
The idea was great, but Xu Xin searched the entire cave and did not find even a small hole that could connect to another space.
The strange sound of wind could be heard everywhere in the cave, but because of the echo in the cave, Xu Xin could not find the source of the sound.
Perhaps there really is no cave visible to the naked eye. Do we need to use a draft to knock out the hole
But is this where the silver treasure chest is buried? This rumor has been around since the first day he arrived, but through the inference of the location of the copper treasure chest, Xu Xin felt that the silver treasure chest should be a new change to the surrounding environment, rather than a rumor that has always existed.
Moreover, the treasure red panda Koko on his shoulder did not react at all and even started snoring on his shoulder.
"This little guy is such a sleepyhead!" Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
Treat the sound of the wind as a backup and search along the river again. If you can't find it, wait for the compass to cool down and then determine the direction again.
Xu Xin walked out of the black bear cave and continued to walk upstream back to the river. Soon, he triggered the prompt.
Reminder: do not leave the tree house more than three kilometers, otherwise something you don’t want to see will happen.
We have reached the border again.
