Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 329: Weird treasure chest

Views:

In front of me is a bronze treasure chest, dotted with a lot of green copper rust, which looks rusty.

But the treasure chest was very large overall, its height even reaching his chest. This size was even larger than the golden treasure chest he encountered during the previous jungle exploration activity.

Such a big treasure chest, the things inside are definitely not ordinary!

Xu Xin was not impatient, nor did he rush forward.

The previous jungle exploration experience was still vivid in his mind. The monsters that suddenly appeared near the treasure chest every time left a big shadow on him.

Is this treasure chest safe

At this time, he began to miss Coco again.

In the past, every time this happened, Koko would tell him in a sobbing voice whether there was any danger ahead.

The treasure chest is located at the innermost part of this area, ten meters away from the edge of the cliff.

Xu Xin had just walked around the giant stone pillar, just walking along the edge of the cliff. He didn't dare to go inside because he always felt it was not safe inside.

Judging from the sound he heard, the group of vultures just now suddenly disappeared from inside.

If he walks in, he won't attract those big birds again...

Moreover, he always felt that the inside of the giant stone pillar was like a big mouth, and he could not get out once he went in.

However, that treasure chest was indeed too attractive. How could he miss it

By the way, you can let Mimi try it out!

He almost forgot that he brought out Mimi Silver King and Ah Fu, and now they are all in his bracelet!

Here, the platform is quite wide, so we can put them out!

Xu Xin immediately turned the bracelet, and Mimi appeared in front of him in an instant.

At this time, Mimi was lying on the ground with her eyes closed and resting.

"Wake up, Mimi." Xu Xin patted its big head.

The temperature here is not too low. After the low temperature period, the temperature has now risen to more than 20 degrees below zero, and it is not even 30 degrees below zero. As a mutant creature, Mimi has no problem at all.

When Xu Xin released it, its eyes trembled, and one of them opened. It glanced at Xu Xin, and realized that it had come out of the dark space of the bracelet. Then it slowly stood up, grabbed the ground with its two claws, stretched its body backward, and stretched.

Xu Xin planned to let Mimi go over and test the treasure chest. It was fast, so even if there was any problem with the treasure chest, it could easily avoid it.

After explaining the situation to Mimi, Mimi responded and immediately paced two steps towards the treasure chest.

But after taking two steps, its movements slowed down and finally stopped.

Under Xu Xin's somewhat puzzled gaze, it suddenly arched its body, raised its tail, and the whole leopard became alert.

Is it really dangerous?!

Xu Xin immediately released Yin Wang and Ah Fu.

“Ah…” After the Silver King was released, he was about to howl like a wolf but was stopped by Xu Xin.

It’s better not to shout on the snowy mountain. Who knows if you might shout out something strange or cause another avalanche.

Mimi took the lead, and the three beasts walked towards the treasure chest.

But nothing happened until he reached the treasure chest.

Looking at the three beasts around him who were very vigilant, Xu Xin understood.

The danger may be in the treasure chest.

So there is danger inside this treasure chest

As he did before, he walked around to the back of the treasure chest and gently placed his hands on it.

The moment he placed his hands on the treasure chest, a chill crept up along his hands!

At the same time, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. He instantly retracted his hand and took two steps back.

What's happening?!

What on earth is in this treasure chest? !

Just by touching the treasure chest, without even opening it, I felt such a strong sense of crisis. How terrifying are the things inside

The three beasts around him all tensed up the moment Xu Xin touched the treasure chest. The Silver King's growl and Mimi's breathing sounded again, as if they would attack immediately the moment the treasure chest was opened.

Suddenly, Mimi was the first to lose patience.

It let out a threatening hissing sound, and Xu Xin didn't even have time to react. Its sharp claws were like an afterimage, quickly scratching and attacking the treasure chest a few times, then it jumped back a small step, staring at the treasure chest.

Its tail was standing upright, its body was arched, every hair on it was standing upside down, and its entire body was covered with fur!

"Mimi, you... eh?"

Xu Xintong's eyes shrank and he took a few steps back.

This treasure chest began to vibrate!

The Silver King's roar became louder and his fangs were bared, but he still slowly retreated with Xu Xin.

Ah Fu didn't know when he had flown far away. It seemed that he had realized that he was no match for the creature in the treasure chest.

Xu Xin retreated to Mimi's side and took out his halberd, with the tip of the halberd facing the treasure chest. Once something came out of the treasure chest, he would poke it directly into it!

The space here is large enough so there is no problem using the halberd.

The vibration of the treasure chest gradually stopped.

Under Xu Xin's vigilant and surprised gaze, the treasure chest made a "creaky" sound, as if it were the sound of a rusty iron door opening and closing.

The lid of the treasure chest opened slightly.

Xu Xin's breathing became heavier as the sense of crisis grew stronger.

Mimi beside him suddenly jumped up again, screaming loudly, and used his claws to hit the slightly open lid of the treasure chest.

The claw was so fast that it was hard to see clearly, and with a snap, it closed the lid of the treasure chest.

…Pah

When a metal box is closed, shouldn't there be a sound like "click" or "squeak"

This treasure chest...

Just as Xu Xin was staring at the treasure chest in thought, the treasure chest made a "creaky" sound again, and the lid of the treasure chest was opened faster and at a larger angle, allowing Xu Xin to see what was inside.

"Hiss—" Xu Xin took a breath of cold air.

The scene before him made his eyes widen and he couldn't believe his eyes.

There is no living creature inside the treasure chest. It is clearly a bloody mouth!

The entire interior of the treasure chest is a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth!

This bloody mouth even looked familiar, reminding him of the giant carnivorous plant that guarded the golden treasure chest.

The bloody mouth of the carnivorous plant is so similar to the bloody mouth in the treasure chest!

There are no mutant creatures inside this treasure chest, because the entire treasure chest is just a monster!

Oh shit!

Isn't this... a treasure chest monster? !

In this world, there are still such creatures? !

Xu Xin almost stabbed forward with his halberd, but Mimi got there first.

Mimi let out another loud cry, and slapped the lid of the treasure chest shut with one paw.

This treasure chest was not made of metal as it looked on the outside. Judging from the sound, the inside was obviously somewhat soft, and this time Xu Xin paid close attention and found that the lid of the treasure chest was obviously deformed after being hit by Mimi.

Obviously, its appearance is not as hard as it looks.

Once again forced to close, the treasure chest monster remained silent for a long time.

Just when Xu Xin thought it would not move again, it suddenly opened the lid of the treasure chest with a swift force and opened its bloody mouth!

At the same time, countless very thick blood-patterned vines emerged from its bloody mouth and were about to attack Xu Xin and the others!

It was very thick, with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, and it drilled out from the deep throat of the treasure chest's bloody mouth!

Xu Xin's face turned pale, and he was about to launch an attack, but Mimi slapped him quickly, shutting the lid of the treasure chest, and even scratched it a few times.

This time, the treasure chest monster even made some weird and unpleasant sounds.

The tip of the vine had already stretched out of the treasure chest, but was forced closed by Mimi's slap and was directly cut off by the sharp teeth of the treasure chest monster. Only a part of it fell outside, still twisting.

this…

This treasure chest monster is a bit miserable...

Then, the Silver King also jumped up, and the two beasts attacked the treasure chest monster together!

Ah Fu flew over, landed on Xu Xin's shoulder, and watched the fight quietly.

Mimi's claws were waving wildly like lightning, and the Silver King pounced on the treasure chest and started biting it!

The treasure chest monster was also fighting back, but every time it opened its lid, Mimi would press it down and launch a more violent attack.

The Silver King's blood-marked fangs had been firmly nailed to the treasure chest. Although they could not go deeper, they had already made two small holes in it!

This treasure chest monster obviously needs to be opened to unleash its power, but with Mimi here, it has no chance to open it at all and can only passively take the beating.

After being hit countless times, the treasure chest monster let out a strange cry, and then, after a "clang" sound, several harsh metal scraping sounds were heard, and Mimi and the Silver King both retreated.

It was not because they were attacked, but because the treasure chest became hard, as if it had really turned into a metal treasure chest!

Their attacks have no effect on the treasure chest!

At the same time, the sense of danger in Xu Xin's heart also disappeared.

Treasure chest monster, dead

Or has it changed its form

The man and three beasts confronted the treasure chest for a long time, but it did not change again.

On the ground, the few cut vines were still twisting slightly, looking a bit disgusting.

They emerge from deep within the chest, rather than from a visible mouth that is already inside the chest.

In other words, the interior of this treasure chest is either connected to another place, or, like a backpack, has an internal space that is completely inconsistent with its appearance!

Who knows, there might be something good in here.

In general games, the things that treasure chest monsters spit out won’t be worse than ordinary treasure chests, right

What should I do now? Should I open this treasure chest

Xu Xin was a little hesitant. After considering it for a long time, he decided to give up for the time being.

His current situation is not safe, and he is still involved in activities. How can he continue to add uncertainty and danger to himself

However, although it cannot be opened here, he can definitely take the treasure chest away!

Back on the ground, he is not afraid of a mere treasure chest monster!

He immediately wanted to put the copper treasure chest in front of him into his backpack.

Storage failed. The backpack cannot store living things.

Xu Xin: “…”

Indeed, although it looks like a treasure chest, it is actually alive.

But... what can I do

Are you still taking it away

Of course you should take it away! You must take it away!

"Mimi, hold it down!" Xu Xin ordered.

Mimi immediately stretched out her right paw and pressed it hard on the lid of the treasure chest.

The treasure chest monster showed no reaction, as if it had really turned into a treasure chest.

Xu Xin simply stretched out his left hand and touched the treasure chest.

On his left hand is a bracelet that can hold mutant creatures.

The moment he touched it, the icy chill and strong sense of crisis surged into his heart again. His heart trembled violently, and he immediately retracted his hand as if by reflex.

However, the treasure chest disappeared the moment he touched it.

Yes, as expected, this treasure chest monster can be collected using the bracelet!

This weird treasure chest is really a mutant creature!

Moreover, judging from its bloody mouth that is very similar to the Piranha Plant, and the vines that grow out of its bright red throat, this treasure chest monster is most likely a mutated plant!

If it is a plant, does it have seeds? Can it be planted

Forget it, let’s ignore it for now. It’s good that I can put it away. I’ll study it when I get back.

Xu Xin looked at the bracelet that contained the treasure chest.

The bracelet that Changyin gave him is really useful.

Not only can it store the broken egg, but it can also store treasure chest monsters. The most important thing is that no matter how many creatures are stored in this bracelet, it has no weight at all!

It’s even more convenient than a backpack!

Moreover, the last time he asked him to let Lou Feier enter the bracelet to observe Ma Hongwei's condition, she said after she came out that the bracelet was still pitch black and she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't find Ma Hongwei inside.

Therefore, the creatures in the bracelet cannot affect each other, and there is no need to worry about what the treasure chest monster will do.

Just take it away and wait until you get back to the ground to solve the problem of the treasure chest, and you can reduce the risk factor to a minimum!

This is the safest way!

Having decided all this, Xu Xin let out a sigh of relief.

After turning the bracelet on his wrist, he began to lead the three beasts to continue walking and exploring around the giant stone peak.

The three beasts were all shocked by the high altitude. After all, it was a thousand meters high and on a cliff, which was really enough to make one's legs weak.

Even Ah Fu didn't dare to fly to the edge of the cliff. After all, he was a bat that usually lived in caves and had never been to such a high place.

In the end, after walking around the giant peak for a full circle, Xu Xin didn't find anything else except this treasure chest monster.

Where did those vultures go

Could it be that...

Xu Xin glanced at the bracelet.

No way…

After letting the three beasts move freely for a while, Xu Xin put them back into the bracelet.

Sitting beside the protruding rock wall, Xu Xin ate something to replenish his energy, looked at the white desert outside, and took a deep breath.

Not bad. After climbing for so long, I got a giant egg of an unknown creature and a strange and peculiar treasure chest monster.

These two gains can be big or small, it just depends on what you can get in the end.

The sun had passed overhead and the surrounding fog had basically dissipated. The sunlight shone on his body, giving him a warm feeling in this environment of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Xu Xin stood up.

Don't waste time, keep climbing!
