There was no other way. Since the way back was blocked, he could only grope his way forward in the maze.
It seemed that because of the escaped furry monster, the number of mutant creatures he encountered in the maze was far beyond his imagination, and each of them was attacking him desperately and would not run away even if they were injured!
Under such circumstances, he could no longer follow the injured and escaping mutant creatures to find the exit of the maze like he did last time in the dungeon maze.
Because the passage was narrow, his weapons were not very effective, and the mutant creatures attacked him desperately, so he was even injured several times.
It took him a long time to get out of the maze, and the exit was still in the middle of the huge stone pillar.
"Further up, the experience is similar to yours. Passing through the high-temperature clouds and the last two hundred meters without any danger. You also know what happened after that." Ji Chaoyang glanced at Xu Xin. On the way back, Xu Xin had already told him his experience.
A maze dungeon
Another thing that should only appear underground.
This made Xu Xin feel that his previous guess, that the huge stone pillar peak rose from the ground and brought out everything underground, might really be correct.
Since it is a maze dungeon, Ji Chaoyang must have gained something in the maze.
However, since he didn't say anything, Xu Xin wouldn't ask any more questions.
He himself did not tell anyone else about the giant egg and the treasure chest monster, mainly because he didn't know what they were and was too lazy to explain.
but…
Xu Xin frowned slightly: "Didn't you find anything else in the area outside except the entrance to this maze?"
"No." Ji Chaoyang shook his head affirmatively. "I went around in circles and made sure there was nothing else, so I wanted to go in and take a look. But I didn't expect that the retreat was blocked and I could only move forward to explore the maze."
Xu Xin nodded and began to think.
According to the time, he did explore the cave with the giant egg and did not climb upwards all the time.
Therefore, even if there were no vultures to hinder him, Ji Chaoyang would have entered this area before him.
The vulture and treasure chest monster that appeared later might have appeared on that platform after Ji Chaoyang entered the entrance of the maze and the entrance was closed.
… This matter is most likely related to that mutant human.
Perhaps, it just didn't want other survivors to climb up, so after discovering Ji Chaoyang, it released the treasure chest monster and the group of vultures to hinder other survivors from climbing.
Although the two cannot influence each other, the environment should be the same, as can be seen from the fact that Ji Chaoyang was also affected by the avalanche caused by Xu Xin.
After the vulture group disappeared collectively and Xu Xin climbed up to the recessed area, Ji Chaoyang was still trapped in the maze, so he did not find any entrance to the maze because both the entrance and exit were closed at this time.
It was a long time after he and the treasure chest monster left that Ji Chaoyang conquered the entire maze, got out, and continued to climb up.
This should be the general timeline.
That mutant human... maybe he's the key.
What else is there in this snowy mountain? Why does this hairy mutant human feel like...
Like the dungeon staff
"It seems that the area that can pose some threat to me when climbing is the middle area." Lou Feier sat in the chair and listened for so long that she roughly understood it.
"Although I haven't experienced it, I feel that I should not be afraid of extreme cold or extreme heat. Then I'll try to leave that area as quickly as possible tomorrow. Or, do you need me to go to the middle area again and look for the mutated humans inside? Don't look at me like this, I have a strong sense of mutated creatures." She looked at Xu Xin and asked.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other and both shook their heads slightly.
Even if she could really enter the maze again, it would be basically impossible for her, who was completely unfamiliar with the interior of the maze, to find the mutant human, and it would instead waste a lot of time.
Moreover, her speed was indeed enhanced after the mutation, but she could not be faster than Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang who had enhanced arm strength, and it would definitely take her longer to climb.
"Tomorrow, climb up as fast as you can and don't make any more trouble." Xu Xin shook his head. As for the matter of mutant humans, we can talk about it after the formation is truly opened.
There are still a bunch of weird stone statues on the top of the peak that have not been solved yet.
Lou Feier sat upright and nodded obediently: "I understand."
Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
This matter seemed to have nothing to do with them, and they really didn't know what to say as they sat here.
Ji Chaoyang also posted his experiences in Explorer.
The three people on the opposite side now know that the snow peak needs another person to climb, and are discussing who is the most suitable person to go. The experience of the two can also give them some advice.
As for Xu Xin, after a while of discussion, he still couldn't come to a conclusion.
In the end, Ji Chaoyang and Qi Xuefei left, leaving only Li Wenxi, who was planning to have dinner here, and Lou Feier, who could cook.
Lou Feier went to make dinner, while Li Wenxi stood by the window looking out.
"It's snowing outside again..." Li Wenxi stretched out her hand toward the window, and a huge snowflake floated onto her hand.
When it snowed before, she had everyone happily playing snowball fights, but now she feels a little depressed.
"Isn't the snow going to get any deeper tomorrow? The mine is basically covered in snow, and Aniu can't walk on it. If this continues, we won't be able to replenish the ore, and the original ore in the tree house will be smelted out..."
Even though she is here with Xu Xin, the furnace in her tree house has never stopped and has been smelting ore all the time.
However, due to weather reasons, she did not take anyone out to mine in the past two days, and the reserves of raw ore were running low.
"Do you have a lot of high-level ores?" Xu Xin asked. "If the teleportation arrays on both sides of the snow mountain are really opened, everyone on the other side will need a coordinate. I have one now, and I need to make four more, which means..."
"Forty portions of blue-grade iron blocks and forty portions of blue-grade steel blocks, eighty portions of blue-grade metal materials..." Li Wenxi said, then nodded, "It's barely enough, but after we're done, we'll be broke!"
"It's enough for our current needs. Come back."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Wenxi turned and looked at Xu Xin when he heard that.
Xu Xin just turned the bracelet, and a huge, cracked egg immediately appeared on the ground.
"What a big egg!" Li Wenxi's eyes widened immediately. "Why are there so many cracks? You bastard!"
"This is a small reward from my climbing." Xu Xin tapped the egg with his finger, and the eggshell made a slight cracking sound. "It's not broken. There is a living little life inside."
Xu Xin told Li Wenxi how he obtained the egg.
"Hey?" Li Wenxi came over immediately and squatted beside the dome to observe. "What kind of creature could be in there?"
"I don't know either." Xu Xin shook his head. "Maybe it was the eggs of the white-headed sea urchins that attacked me."
"Are the eggs of a bald eagle... this big?" Li Wenxi gestured, "They are really big!"
"Giant beast eggs." Xu Xin didn't think there was any problem.
Organisms that are cultivated in a special room using special instruments are definitely not ordinary species.
Of course, it is also possible that it is not the white-headed sea cucumber.
Xu Xin gently picked up the egg and placed it next to the fireplace to raise the temperature around the egg, and warned the animals that were warming themselves by the fireplace not to break it.
It's better to let it hatch on its own.
This egg was most likely broken due to a sudden change in temperature. Perhaps the small creature inside was not mature yet, and it was broken prematurely, which is equivalent to a premature baby.
"Ah!" the Silver King responded.
Mimi just took a glance at it and was not interested in the egg at all.
Instead, Axue lay beside the egg, looking at the egg with cracks all over it with curiosity.
"I really don't know what kind of egg it is. Could it be a flying bird? Can it carry people flying?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise.
"It's very likely." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Really? Riding a big bird, it's exciting just thinking about it." Li Wenxi looked at the egg with a longing expression.
At this time, Lou Feier also brought out two plates of food. She looked at the egg that suddenly appeared on the ground curiously, but did not ask any more questions. She put the dishes on the table and said, "Let's eat!"
"Fei'er's cooking is still the most delicious." Li Wenxi immediately sat down at the table.
“…嘤?” Coco, who was about to fall asleep, was woken up by the fragrance.
After finishing the meal together, Li Wenxi went to help Lou Feier wash the dishes.
Xu Xin carried Coco, who had eaten and drunk her fill and was beginning to take a nap, to the bedroom, sat back on the sofa, and clicked on the rankings for snow mountain rock climbing activities.
He was surprised to find that in addition to him and Ji Chaoyang, there was a third person's name on the list!
However, this time it’s not their District 188.
Sanshi Wanyun District 1
Shi Wanyun... This name looks familiar.
He looked through the previous regional rankings and found the name Shi Wanyun.
Her name was not on the list of Heavy Rain Season, but it did appear on the list of Defending the Tree House, but her ranking was not high.
Area 1 is the same as Area 188, with a total of four people on the list, which means that four people killed the heart of the mutant plant.
Shi Wanyun was ranked last in District 1 in the Tree House Defense Battle Rankings, and ranked more than 50th in the entire region.
Unexpectedly, this time, she would rank first in Zone 1 and third in the entire zone.
There is a stir on the World Channel again.
"Haha, I knew someone in our District 1 would be able to pass the event today!"
"It's the most mysterious elder Shi Wanyun! She even won first place in our region in an event, but she has not joined our District 1 elders organization yet!"
"What the hell, Lone Wolf? The Lone Wolf boss from District 1? And she's a woman? Is this true? This is too strong!"
"Someone from District 1 has made it to the list now. You guys from District 23 should work harder. Weren't you very crazy before?"
"Just wait, we'll have a big boss to complete the task soon!"
Among the explorers, several people were also chatting.
Wang Lei: "Wen Guixin was actually stepped on by another woman. Who is this woman? I thought the third one must be my sister Guixin..."
Qin Yunlong: "One of the big bosses in District 1, he is said to be a lone wolf, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated."
Qin Yunhu: "Lone wolf is the most terrifying."
Ji Chaoyang: "If it's a lone wolf, maybe there's a chance to win him over. But unfortunately, we can't send private messages across regions, so there's no way to communicate."
Wang Lei: "Winning her over... But she doesn't even cooperate with people in her own region, so the chances of winning her over are slim."
Xu Xin: "That's because the people in their region don't have good bargaining chips. In this world, it's impossible to survive alone."
Xu Xin didn't believe that a survivor who could survive alone had no special abilities.
At this time, Li Wenxi and Lou Feier also came out of the kitchen.
"What's the matter?" Li Wenxi sat next to Xu Xin.
"The third person showed up, he's from District 1."
"Hey?" Li Wenxi immediately pulled Xu Xin's hand towards her and looked at the ranking with wide eyes. "Shi Wanyun? That's a woman's name. Amazing."
"There are many elders in other areas as well." Lou Feier stroked her snow wolf, then turned her head and winked at Li Wenxi, "I'm going back now. I won't disturb you two anymore."
Li Wenxi blushed and stood up: "Okay, I'll let you go."
"I'll go down too." Xu Xin stood up, "Wen Xi, come with me. I'll show you something good."
"Good stuff?" Li Wenxi was a little confused.
It’s time to clean up the strange treasure chest in his bracelet!
I really don’t know what good things I can bring to him.
