He glanced at the time and it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Today was a moonless night, and the starry sky was unusually clear and bright, with a brilliant galaxy hanging in the sky. This was a sight that Xu Xin, who had lived in the city since childhood, had never seen before.
"I remember the moonlight was very bright last night. It seemed to be a full moon, right? It's actually the new moon today. This world is really strange."
Xu Xin sighed, but didn't care. After all, it was another world and could not be measured according to the laws of the earth.
He armed himself once again and headed northwest of the tree house.
There is a lake to the northwest of the tree house. If Xu Xin wants to get there, he must first go around the lake.
Of course, he had also thought that the location of the golden treasure chest was in this lake.
But if he was really in the lake, he would have no way to get the golden treasure chest at this time.
This lake is dangerous.
Although the giant anaconda in the center of the lake is no longer there, this lake is still the only place with red dots within a three-kilometer radius of his tree house. The red dots concentrated in the center of the lake are not very bright, and are much dimmer than the wolves killed by the black bear before, but they are more numerous, densely packed, and constantly swimming. They should be a school of piranhas or something like that.
With his current abilities, snatching the treasure chest from piranhas in the water is purely for the purpose of seeing the Black and White Impermanence.
Xu Xin swung his arms and threw a stone into the center of the lake.
"Hmm?" Coco on his shoulder was affected by Xu Xin's actions. She grabbed his shoulders and was almost thrown off. She grabbed his clothes and used all her limbs to climb onto his shoulders again.
The stone hit the center of the lake, splashing huge water, and the lake water boiled up in an instant. Because the water was very clear and the center of the lake was deep, no mud or sand would be stirred up. Xu Xin could vaguely see countless fish swimming around frantically under the water, and several fish jumped out of the water one after another.
It was a blood-red fish that looked only slightly larger than his palm, but its sharp teeth like saw teeth made Xu Xin feel frightened.
It turned out to be piranhas. These piranhas seemed to only wander around the center of the lake and would not come to the lakeside, so the fish and shrimps diving near the lake were not harmed.
At this time, because of Xu Xin's stone, a frightened huge grass carp mistakenly entered the center of the lake.
At that moment, the lake water suddenly boiled again, and the violent splashes were higher than the splashes of the stone thrown by Xu Xin just now. The original position of the grass carp was filled with a faint blood color, which was diluted by the lake water and disappeared.
Oh my god, I can’t afford to offend him. Let me look for another place first.
Walking around the lake, Xu Xin soon reached the other side of the lake.
Xu Xin was not very familiar with the northwest direction. He only came here to take a few casual glances during the initial exploration. He found that there were no blue supplies and never came here again, so the map of this area was black.
Xu Xin walked straight towards the direction indicated by the compass of the golden treasure chest. With the map, he didn't have to worry about drawing arcs or circles in the jungle like other people. The compass in his hands could naturally play the greatest role.
The resource area extends eastward from the lake, so after walking a few hundred meters northwest, you have walked out of the resource area and the surrounding area is once again surrounded by a sea of white light.
But Xu Xin didn't think there was anything wrong. The copper treasure chest and the silver treasure chest were not located inside the resource area. They were relatively far away from the tree house, and there were no high-level resources around them. According to this rule, the gold treasure chest might not be inside the resource area.
Xu Xin continued walking forward without any clue, stroking Coco on his shoulder from time to time, but Coco did not lead the way for him like he did when he was looking for the bronze treasure chest. Instead, he just lay on Xu Xin's shoulder, looking a little listless.
That's right. I've been busy with Xu Xin all day. Now it's evening and it's time for the little one to go to bed.
"Coco, the red berries and oranges I gave you have no special effect on you?" Xu Xin has given Coco several oranges today. If the effect of the oranges can also work on it, then logically, it shouldn't feel sleepy, right
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head and looked at him, with a look of confusion in her eyes that were unable to open.
It seems that the special effects of the blue material are useless to them. Xu Xin shook his head, held Coco in his arms, stroked its furry tail, and said, "Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up if something happens. You have to be alert then."
"Hmm." Coco responded, then curled up in Xu Xin's arms and fell asleep.
The jungle was very quiet at night, without even the sound of insects, only the rustling of leaves and the sound of his feet on the grass.
Instead, Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable without Coco moving around on his shoulders and sweeping his neck with her tail.
Although there were no red dots representing enemy units on the map at this time, Xu Xin was still highly concentrated, always sensing the movements around him and the changes on the map.
It was still the same old jungle, poplar forest. After walking for such a long time, Xu Xin didn't feel anything was wrong around him.
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.
Standing at the border, Xu Xin frowned.
He was really at a loss this time. He followed the direction of the compass and didn't notice anything unusual. Could it be that the treasure chest was really in the lake
This is troublesome.
Xu Xin raised his head and looked at the hills that were just around the corner.
The densely packed army of red dots was just on the other side of the hill less than a kilometer away from him. He couldn't get out, but the beasts didn't seem to want to enter his territory.
It's safe for now.
Looking at the hills in front of him, an idea suddenly came to Xu Xin's mind.
"What would happen if I stepped outside this boundary? What terrible things could happen?"
This idea sprouted in Xu Xin's mind. For some reason, the desire to go out grew stronger and stronger in his heart. Xu Xin stared at the hill in front of him. It seemed like a fatal temptation, and he involuntarily took a step forward.
This time the mysterious voice did not remind me again.
Driven by the desire in his heart, Xu Xin took another step forward and had already stepped half a foot outside the border.
Just when he was about to move forward, Coco in his arms moved.
“Hmm…” Coco twisted her body in Xu Xin’s arms, as if she was not sleeping very well.
It was this moment that suddenly woke Xu Xin up, but he had already taken the third step.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly burst out in his heart, and Xu Xin quickly retracted his foot.
Just as he was about to retract his arm, the place where he was about to take his third step suddenly cracked. At the moment of the crack, a sharp vine emerged and poked straight up to a height of four or five meters in the air!
There are a few blood-red threads on the dark green vines, like blood vessels, which makes people feel a little creepy.
Xu Xin hurriedly took a few steps back and tensed his muscles to dodge, but the vine did not rush over again like the one that had attracted the bronze treasure chest before. Instead, it stayed in the air for a while before slowly retracting into the ground.
On the map, the red dot representing the vine gradually faded, and disappeared completely after a few dozen seconds.
"Just now, why did I do such a reckless thing!" Xu Xin recalled his actions in doubt. As a cautious person, he would never do such a suicidal behavior, but he did it anyway.
If Coco hadn't moved in his arms, he would have been pierced instep by the vines that grew out of the ground.
Looking back now, the Xu Xin who just walked out without considering the consequences driven by desire seemed not to be himself.
"Have I been possessed by some evil spirit?"
