Xu Xin, holding a halberd, stepped into the portal.
The world was spinning, and after falling rapidly, he landed on the ground.
As soon as he could see again, he saw countless pairs of red eyes staring straight at him.
All the mutant creatures were looking at him. From all directions, densely packed red eyes were staring at him.
Not only were their eyes red, the blood patterns on their bodies were also glowing. Combined with the smell of blood and gunpowder all over the ground, Xu Xin felt creepy.
This is too scary!
He thought there would be a chaotic battlefield here, this scene was totally unexpected!
He had been thinking that once he got over, he would immediately take out his energy core fragments and baptize these low-level mutant creatures with a burst of white light, sending them directly to hell.
But when he saw this scene, he subconsciously swung the halberd in his hand at the beasts that were only two meters away from him!
Suddenly, screams of the mutant creatures were heard, blood splattered everywhere, and everything within a three-meter radius was cleared out by his halberd.
"Wow, this is really cool!" Xu Xin felt the huge vitality transmitted from the halberd handle to his body and twisted his neck comfortably.
Then he immediately took out his energy core fragment.
The white light instantly illuminated the surroundings, and the temperature immediately rose to over 20 degrees.
However, the mutant creatures illuminated by the white light did not flee or die directly as Xu Xin had imagined.
They originally wanted to pounce on Xu Xin and the blood patterns on their bodies became even brighter.
They just moved away a little, looking a little afraid of the core in Xu Xin's hand, but they did not run away, nor did they die.
"... Hmm?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
The low-level mutants here were actually strengthened? Nothing like this happened on his side.
Moreover, the enhanced mutant creatures would not die directly from the irradiation of the energy core.
Is it that strong
"Boom!" The explosive crossbow exploded behind Xu Xin, just close enough to not affect him, which scared him.
"Xu Xin! Xu Xin! Come up quickly, it's dangerous down there!" Li Wenxi shouted from the window. She had handed the control panel to Li Yajun and told her to try to help Xu Xin. "Come here quickly, I'll pull you up!"
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Xu Xin waved at her, called out, and walked towards Li Wenxi's tree house.
Looking at the completely destroyed power grid around the tree house, he had basically figured out what was going on.
He planned to go to Li Wenxi's tree house and help her protect it from harm.
The sounds of explosions and explosions continued to be heard around him, and Li Yajun was also trying his best to clear out the mutant creatures around him.
At this moment, a mutated snow wolf glowed with blood, let out a howl, and pounced directly at him.
Xu Xin was somewhat curious about their current state, so he did not use his halberd. Instead, he dodged to the side and punched the snow wolf in the stomach. The powerful force knocked it flying.
"Woo..." The snow wolf let out a wail and flew towards the beast herd. The beasts collectively dodged to the side, and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Then, under Xu Xin's somewhat surprised gaze, it vomited blood, and then the blood marks on its body faded instantly, and the entire wolf body immediately shrank and turned into a mummy.
Although it has not yet reached the point where the heart of the plant has been sucked away and only skin and bones are left, it is almost the same as dried meat.
This is definitely not caused by the energy core fragments. Energy core fragments will not turn mutant creatures into mummies.
"... Could it be that the strengthening of the blood veins consumes their vitality?" Xu Xin speculated.
In this state, they gain the strength to fight against energy core fragments and immortality, but the price is that when this state ends, their lives also come to an end.
That should be it.
… This group of low-level mutant creatures, whether on his side or on Li Wenxi's side, are nothing but tools of war.
How pitiful.
No matter how much he thought about it, his subordinates would never show mercy.
Xu Xin continued to walk forward.
Although these mutant creatures would not die under the illumination of the bright white light, none of them dared to approach Xu Xin. Every time he took a step towards Li Wenxi's tree house, these low-level mutant creatures would disperse away from him.
Two more mutants could no longer hold back, their bodies glowing with blood, and they rushed forward to attack Xu Xin. Xu Xin simply waved his halberd twice, and they were immediately decapitated.
This made other mutant creatures even more afraid to approach.
Xu Xin did not wait for them to retreat step by step. Instead, he quickened his pace, wielding the halberd in his hand, cut a bloody path, and arrived under Li Wenxi's tree house.
The power grid had been completely knocked over and could not automatically recover, and the trunk of the tree house had also taken quite a bit of damage, with the armor underneath being largely destroyed.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
“Xu Xin!” Li Wenxi immediately swung down from the tree house, threw herself into Xu Xin’s arms, and hugged him tightly, “You, you, you… you are too reckless!”
She also saw that the mutant creatures around did not dare to attack Xu Xin, so she dared to do so.
"Alright, alright," Xu Xin touched Li Wenxi's head like he was touching cocoa. He could feel Li Wenxi's body trembling slightly. "Have you forgotten that I have map abilities? I already knew your situation from the map."
"... Yeah." Li Wenxi raised her head from his arms, her expression suddenly clear. "The situation was so urgent just now that I forgot you could see the situation here. So since you're here, can you solve our crisis?"
Li Wenxi looked up at Xu Xin's face vaguely.
The way she looked, hugging himself, raising her head, her eyes still a little red, with a trace of tears on her face, really made Xu Xin want to pinch her face.
At this time, another mutant creature with blood lines lit up rushed up, and was cut into two halves by Xu Xin with a halberd.
Then he reached out to help Li Wenxi wipe the tears from her face and pinched her cheeks: "Of course it can be solved. My situation is much more serious than yours. I came here after I solved it. Why, are you crying for joy when you see me?"
“No, I didn’t…” Li Wenxi lowered his head and rubbed his eyes a little embarrassedly.
Although the mutants surrounding the tree house did not dare to approach, they all let out threatening growls, as if to say, "Are you two done yet? Can you be more serious in the battle?"
"Okay, this is for you." Xu Xin handed the energy core fragment to Li Wenxi, "Take this and control the roots of the tree house to hang in the air. In this way, they basically dare not approach the tree house. You can also use the explosive crossbow to attack the bottom of the tree house."
"Yes!" Li Wenxi nodded vigorously, took the energy core fragment, and felt the warmth in his hand. "What about you? You don't want to..."
"Of course I rushed into the beast herd and fought bravely." Xu Xin looked at the beast herd that was getting closer. He swung his halberd and killed another group of mutant creatures. Blood splattered on Xu Xin and Li Wenxi. "After I help you, I'll go check on Sister Xuefei."
Although they were covered in blood, the two men didn't care.
Xu Xin's body was already covered in blood, and Li Wenxi had just thrown himself directly into the arms of a man covered in blood, so his body was also covered in blood.
Li Wenxi did not stop him from doing so. Instead, she raised her head and pecked him lightly on the face, then left his arms with a smile: "There's blood on your face, hehe."
Xu Xin felt the warmth on his cheek at that moment and smiled: "I am covered in blood now."
"You're annoying!" Li Wenxi blushed and spat, then whispered, "Be careful."
The rest is easy.
Li Wenxi held the fragment of the energy core and hung it under the canopy of the tree house. Most of the mutant creatures did not dare to approach. Occasionally, some of them approached, but she shot them directly with a crossbow.
In the tree house, Li Yajun and Le Youfang each operated the control panel while the other was responsible for loading the ammunition. The four crossbows scattered explosive bullets around without any hesitation, and the flames of the explosions formed a continuous piece.
Xu Xin was not idle either. He rushed directly into the herd of beasts and frantically harvested the lives of these mutated creatures.
Waves of vitality were transmitted into his body from the handle of the halberd, making his whole spirit excited.
He stopped dodging the attacks and started swinging his halberd vigorously. With every swing, several low-level mutant creatures died at his hands.
Bathed in blood and killing, he did not feel nauseous or numb at all. The continuous infusion of vitality even made him feel as if he was floating in ecstasy.
This massacre has been going on for a quarter of an hour.
"So strong, so handsome..." Li Wenxi was hanging in the air, staring blankly at Xu Xin who was going in and out of the beast herd. He pulled the trigger and killed a mutant creature that pounced on the tree house.
With the addition of Xu Xin and the balance of power from the energy core fragments, the number of mutant creatures in the entire area is continuously decreasing.
Just then, a sharp whistle was heard in the distance.
Xu Xin's ears clearly captured the direction of the whistle. He focused his eyes, pushed his feet, and instantly jumped to a height of forty or fifty meters, looking in the direction where the whistle came from.
In the jungle, a figure disappeared behind a tree.
Human figure!
Sure enough, it was mutant humans! This group of mutant creatures was indeed controlled by mutant humans!
Perhaps, the mutant human in his bracelet also has a whistle like this that can control mutant creatures
His body descended and he landed directly in the herd of beasts. He stepped on the head of a mutant creature and smashed its head to pieces, sending it to death.
After hearing the whistle, the mutant creatures stood there in a daze for two seconds, and then, like lost dogs, they desperately ran in all directions of the tree house!
The whistle just now was ordering them to retreat.
It seems that the mutant human has realized that this group of low-level mutant creatures cannot cause any harm to Li Wenxi's tree house. If they continue like this, they will only be slowly consumed.
The beast tide retreated, leaving behind corpses on the ground.
“Xu Xin!” Li Wenxi rushed over and hugged the bloody Xu Xin again, jumping up and down, “We chased them away! We chased the beasts away! How did you jump so high just now!”
"Random amplification, amazing, right?"
"Great!" She raised her head and stood on tiptoe, then kissed Xu Xin on the cheek, and said excitedly, "You were so handsome just now! So handsome!"
"Since he's so handsome, is it worth another kiss?" Xu Xin pointed at her lips and said with a smile.
Li Wenxi's face turned red, but she didn't act pretentiously. She put her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him directly.
It felt very soft, and had a bloody taste, coming from the blood that had just splashed onto his mouth.
Xu Xin did not take the initiative, but just lowered his head slightly, feeling Li Wenxi's somewhat immature kiss.
Li Wenxi closed her eyes tightly, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly.
The kiss was quick, over in just three or four seconds.
Li Wenxi put down her tiptoes, her face flushed, but her expression was full of smiles: "So this is what kissing feels like! Your lips are so soft. Is this your first time too?"
"Ah, this..." Xu Xin was a little embarrassed, touched his head, and didn't dare to speak. He lost his first kiss in high school.
"Humph, I knew it." Li Wenxi snorted lightly, pursed her lips, looked around, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I didn't expect that my first kiss would be in such a place. It's really legendary!"
Isn't it? There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood all around, the broken bodies of wild beasts were everywhere, and the whole land was dyed red with blood, but the two of them could still stand here and kiss passionately.
Xu Xin also laughed: "You are too unrestrained."
"It was you who asked me to do this, you stinky man!" Li Wenxi punched him lightly.
Xu Xin was hit so hard that he bent over slightly.
Just now, I was so excited and happy to be invincible among the beasts. My blood was still boiling. The beautiful girl immediately came over to me and threw herself into my arms, and gave me a sweet kiss...
This was really unbearable for him as he had not released his desires in this world for a long time.
Fortunately, Steel Armor couldn't see anything.
"Okay, do you still want to go to Sister Xuefei's place? I'll go with you!" Li Wenxi returned the energy core fragments to Xu Xin. "With this thing, I can help a little. Use the crossbow to blow them up. Boom boom boom!"
As she spoke, she made a pistol shape with her hand, aiming.
Her face was still red, so Xu Xin couldn't help but pinch it twice: "No, we don't need to go over there."
"Ah? Why?" Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's hand that was still pinching her face, and asked with some confusion.
"Qi Xuefei should have solved it herself. Hmm... Maybe Ji Chaoyang went there."
On the map, most of the red dots around Qi Xuefei's tree house disappeared. At the same time, the remaining red dots were rapidly dispersing in all directions and no longer surrounded her tree house.
At this point, the crisis facing the four of them was completely resolved.
