"Since we don't need to go there, let's clean up the battlefield." Xu Xin pointed to the corpses of wild animals scattered on the ground in front of him.
On his side, he could leave the job of cleaning up the battlefield to the plant heart, which could handle it in two sweeps. But Li Wenxi couldn't do that, so they had to do it themselves.
"Okay! I'll go call Yajun and Le Youfang down as well!" Li Wenxi ran towards his tree house.
Xu Xin looked again at the location where the mutant human had just appeared.
"Are those humans the mutated indigenous people of this world?" Xu Xin pondered as he turned the bracelet on his left hand.
In his bracelet, the mutant human was still in that strange state.
It would be nice if we could get some information from him.
"This time the beast tide has only receded, but has not been completely eliminated. In other words, there is a risk of a comeback at any time. We must be prepared for the worst."
Li Yajun and Le Youfang followed Li Wenxi and came down from the tree house.
"Brother Xu! Oh no, Boss! Boss, you are too strong!" Le Youfang rushed directly in front of Xu Xin, his eyes shining, "Why did you jump so high just now?!"
Leyoufang's current behavior is exactly like that of Xu Xin's little fanboy.
"Nothing, just my special ability." Xu Xin didn't intend to explain too much to others, just casually said, "Okay, let's clean up the battlefield. You don't want to live in a sea of blood and corpses."
Li Wenxi's battlefield was much more chaotic than his.
On his side, the explosive crossbows were only hitting the area a hundred meters away, and the area near the tree house was completely attacked by the plant hearts.
The plant heart basically makes fatal stabs at weak points, so half of the mutant creatures' corpses were directly sucked into mummies by the plant hearts, while the other half were in a state of intact corpses with holes poked in them, so the battlefield was not messy.
On this side, because the tree house was basically relying on the firepower from the explosive crossbow for cover, the situation was much more serious!
There were broken arms and legs everywhere. Only near the tree house, next to the broken electric fence, could one find some intact bodies that had been charred by electricity, but they didn't look very good either.
"This is really tragic..."
Although he also participated in this battle, Xu Xin still sighed after taking a closer look at the scene in front of him.
Li Wenxi and the other two also felt a little uncomfortable. Although they had fired too many crossbows and were numb to the explosions, they still felt uncomfortable when they observed the broken bodies and even their internal organs...
Li Yajun and Le Youfang both covered their mouths. After the joy of being rescued faded, the discomfort that arose from their physical state finally surged into their hearts.
Fortunately, the two of them had killed countless wild beasts in jungle hunting activities. Although the scene in front of them was a bit heavy, it was not enough to make them vomit.
Li Wenxi's originally rosy little face turned a little pale.
Start cleaning up the battlefield.
"Hey..." Li Wenxi threw the remains of the beasts into his backpack one by one, frowning. "This is too strong... In the future, unless it is a special case, it is better to use the explosive crossbow less. This remains is disgusting, but it feels like I can't cut off a complete piece of animal skin..."
Indeed, if the hide is broken, it will be directly downgraded. A blue-grade hide will be reduced to a green-grade hide, and a purple-grade hide will only be a blue-grade hide.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that it’s such a loss.
Soon, several people had almost cleaned up the battlefield. Although the land was charred black and mixed with bright red, which looked a bit scary, there was nothing that could be done about it.
When it rains, it will wash all of this away.
However, if you want it to rain, you probably have to wait until this cold winter is over. At the current temperature, only snow and hail can fall.
"Eh? Xu Xin! Xu Xin, come here quickly, there is a snow wolf that is still alive!" Li Wenxi called Xu Xin over from a distance, "It looks bigger than the other snow wolves!"
Xu Xin walked over and looked at the snow wolf lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out and gasping for breath.
Compared to the Silver King, its size is much smaller. Even compared to the Silver King he just met and the Snow Wolf King he just killed, it is much smaller.
But compared to other low-level mutant creatures, the snow wolves are indeed a lot bigger.
Is this a blood-marked mutant snow wolf with the blood of a giant beast
There were no obvious external injuries on the snow wolf's body, so it probably wasn't hit directly by the exploding crossbow, but perhaps it was affected, causing it to suffer internal injuries and was gasping for breath.
It kicked its hind legs but was unable to stand up and could only make a whimpering sound.
"It looks like a big dog..." Li Wenxi squatted down and wanted to reach out and touch the snow wolf.
It did not refuse, or rather, it was powerless to refuse and could only let Li Wenxi stroke its dirty fur.
Li Wenxi looked up at Xu Xin and said, "How about this snow wolf? Do you want it? As soon as I saw it, I felt it was suitable for your contract. It looks stronger than other snow wolves, but it hasn't reached the level of an intermediate mutant creature. It's just right!"
While cleaning up the battlefield, she found several mutant creatures that were affected by the explosion and were on the verge of death, but because they were too weak, she stabbed them to death and threw them into her backpack.
She only felt this one was suitable, so she called Xu Xin over.
"Yes, of course." Xu Xin nodded. He had always wanted to form a team of mutant creatures.
Now, those who can fight by his side include Silver King, Mimi, and Afu.
Ai Fei is half a monster. It works wonders against insects, but it is not very strong against other mutant creatures. Xu Xin is looking forward to the combat effectiveness of the two little guys when they grow up.
Forget about Coco, Coco is responsible for exploration and cuteness.
In addition, there are Ma Hongwei and Lou Feier.
Ma Hongwei’s explosive power is related to strength, but he will not let Ma Hongwei be responsible for the battle. After all, he is a unique talent in the field of external weapons of the tree house.
Lou Feier is a genius in combat, especially against survivors. She is definitely a top-notch killer.
The number is still too small.
Xu Xin had an idea.
Rather than fighting himself, he would rather be a tamer or something like that.
From now on, when I go out, I will bring a group of mutant creatures with me. They will be responsible for fighting, and I will be responsible for commanding. My own strength is not weak, so I am not afraid of attacks from others.
Her abilities are somewhat similar to Wen Guixin's, but her slaves are disposable, need to be infected on the spot, and are not long-lasting, whereas Xu Xin wants to train all of these mutant creatures under her into super-powerful beings.
Moreover, it would be too unstable for him to fight every battle personally.
Like this time, a mid-level mutated snow leopard directly knocked him to the ground. If he was not within the protection range of the plant heart, Xu Xin had the advantage and he would have had a very difficult battle.
The power of an individual is still limited. Why fight alone when you can fight in a group
Xu Xin took out a mutant beast contract and squatted in front of the snow wolf.
From the subtle movements of the snow wolf, he determined that this snow wolf was different from other tool wolves and had its own will. This was probably because of the giant beast blood in its body.
"If you want to live, surrender to me. I will only give you this one chance. Don't resist, I will let you live." Xu Xin reached out and gently touched the snow wolf's head, using the same method he used on the Silver King.
"Woo..." A whimpering sound that sounded like submission and grievance came from the Snow Wolf's mouth.
"Can we make a contract?" Li Wenxi was very curious. Although she knew that the mutant creatures around Xu Xin, including Lou Feier, had all been contracted, she had never seen the scene of the contract.
"That should be enough." Seeing that the Snow Wolf had no intention of resisting, Xu Xin crushed the contract in his hand.
Bits of light flew into the snow wolf's body. The snow wolf had no intention of struggling and was easily contracted.
Contract the mutated Snow Wolf King and obtain points: 70 points.
Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
Snow Wolf King? Is this also a Snow Wolf King
Yes, this snow wolf should be the king of Li Wenxi’s group of mutated snow wolves. No wonder it is so much bigger than ordinary snow wolves!
It feels comfortable. I have really contracted a good beast!
A snow wolf king that is still a low-level mutant creature!
However, the mutant creature contract is not like the mount contract of the Silver King, which can restore injuries, so Xu Xin took out a pill given by Qi Xuefei and stuffed it into the mouth of the snow wolf: "Eat it, and you can survive."
"Are Sister Xuefei's pills also effective against mutant creatures?" Li Wenxi asked doubtfully.
"It should be effective, right?" Xu Xin thought for a moment and said, "The pills are made of hemostatic grass. I've used hemostatic grass on Mimi before and it worked."
Although blue-level fruits have no effect on objects other than survivors, blue-level medicinal herbs will still work. Of course, the effect will not be so obvious.
Sure enough, the condition of the snow wolf improved a lot after taking the pill. Although it did not fully recover, it could now barely stand up from lying on its side and gasping for breath.
The snow wolf stood up, rubbed its head against Xu Xin, and barked like a dog: "Woo..."
"Big dog!" Li Wenxi touched the snow wolf's back, "Can it also be used as a mount?"
"Well, do you want it?"
"Me? Forget about it. Although it is bigger than other snow wolves, it is much smaller than Aniu. My mount should be used mainly for carrying loads."
Xu Xin thought so too. This Snow Wolf King was indeed not suitable for Li Wenxi.
He had long wanted to equip Lou Feier with a mount, and this snow wolf was a good choice.
As for why Lou Feier was given a mount...
Although this disaster came suddenly, their explorers' choice to recruit other survivors remained unchanged.
However, he didn't want to run around looking for other survivors all day long.
He still has a lot to do.
For example, the hilly resource area and the altar related to the disappearance of Chang Yin's family. Now that the beast has returned, the altar can continue to offer sacrifices. He wants to get things done about the altar.
There is also the giant's arm near Ji Chaoyang's tree house, which needs to be explored as soon as possible.
Therefore, he planned to give the task of bringing people back to the tree house to Lou Feier.
Lou Feier is the most suitable person for this task, especially when facing people from other areas. With Lou Feier's acting skills and strength, she can basically defeat the opponent without any effort.
It is necessary to equip her with a mount. We can't let her keep borrowing his Silver King like we did last time when we captured Le Youfang, right
"Okay, then I'll take this snow wolf away." Xu Xin nodded.
He reached out and put the snow wolf, which was lying on the ground again, into the bracelet. The snow wolf's injuries had not yet healed and it could not walk, so he could only let it stay in the bracelet for the time being.
"Are you leaving?" Li Wenxi was a little reluctant and hugged Xu Xin's arm again, "Go upstairs and sit for a while. Anyway, the danger has subsided now."
"Then kiss me again." Xu Xin leaned his face forward and chuckled.
"Hate it!" Li Wenxi blushed and pushed Xu Xin's face away, "They are still here!"
Li Yajun and Le Youfang had come over a long time ago and also saw the scene of Xu Xin's contract. Hearing what Li Wenxi said, Li Yajun couldn't help laughing, while Le Youfang stretched out his hand and pretended to be blind: "Hey? Oh, my eyes, why can't I see?"
As he spoke, he groped his way towards his tree house.
"Come back!" Li Wenxi stamped her feet in embarrassment. "The battle is over, don't you want to have a celebration party?"
"Celebration banquet?" Li Yajun thought of the heavy-mouthed scene just now, and her face turned pale. "Forget it, Wen Xi, I can't eat it, I really can't eat it..."
“I… I’ll just give up…” Le Youfang turned around and smiled awkwardly.
“Is that so…” Li Wenxi was a little disappointed.
Her psychological endurance was much stronger than those two people. After finally escaping from danger, she still wanted to celebrate a little.
"Okay." Xu Xin patted Li Wenxi's head. "I have something else to do when I get home, so I won't accompany you for now. You should also go back and take inventory of your supplies. Don't always think about playing."
He still has things to deal with. There should be giant anaconda scales near Ma Hongwei's destroyed tree house.
That's a purple-level resource! I was in a hurry to help Li Wenxi and never went to take a look.
"Okay..." Li Wenxi reluctantly let go of Xu Xin's arm, "Then I'll come find you after I count the supplies. I don't know when the communication will be restored. It's really unsettling."
