Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 338: The secret hidden in the treasure chest

Views:

A purple-level key!

A key that can control treasure chest monsters!

The moment Xu Xin got the key, the red dot at the location of the treasure chest monster on the map immediately turned into a green light dot.

very good.

The treasure chest monster is one of us now.

Silver King and Mimi had also sensed the changes in the treasure chest monster, and their tense bodies gradually relaxed and they no longer made attacking gestures.

The vines surrounding the treasure chest, which always pointed their tips at the treasure chest monster, no longer had any intention of attacking and slowly shrank back into the ground.

Lou Feier was also a little confused and put down the dagger she had been holding in front of her: "I can no longer sense hostility or danger from this treasure chest. Has it surrendered?"

Xu Xin shook the key in his hand and said with a smile: "It is now mine... No, it is my box."

"I understand," Li Wenxi looked at the key in Xu Xin's hand and guessed, "Whoever has the key is its owner, right? You are now the owner of this treasure chest monster."

"That's right." Xu Xin nodded and walked to the side of the treasure chest monster.

Before Xu Xin came over, the treasure chest monster opened itself, opened its bloody mouth, and spit out the mutated vines that stretched out of its throat, which hung and swayed outside the box.

Well, it's like a dog sticking out its tongue to show its friendliness.

"What's in your stomach? Spit it all out for me to see." Xu Xin said, looking at the treasure chest monster that had completely surrendered.

After hearing this, the treasure chest monster immediately retracted the vines that were hanging out like a tongue, and then closed them.

Then, it became motionless and did not open on its own, as if it was waiting for Xu Xin to open it.

"This is… "

Xu Xin reached out and touched the treasure chest monster and found that its originally soft body, which seemed to be made of flesh, had become cold and hard again, feeling exactly like real metal.

He reached out and lifted the lid of the treasure chest.

The treasure chest was not locked and did not require the key in his hand to open it. Although the lid was heavy, with Xu Xin's current strength, he could still lift it up easily.

Inside, there are still a wide variety of gold, silver and jewelry.

He seemed to understand a little.

This treasure chest monster should have two forms.

The first form is the one with a wide open mouth.

In this form, the treasure chest monster can use its big mouth to chew food, just like chewing vines just now. At the same time, it can also spit out mutant vines from its mouth and attack outward, which is an active attack form.

The second form is the current form, that is, the form of a treasure chest.

In this form, the inside of the treasure chest monster is no longer a bloody mouth, but a real treasure chest. According to the key, it contains all the things it has swallowed before. What cannot be digested by the treasure chest monster will be retained.

However, this second form of treasure chest monster should not be able to open and close and move on its own.

The box is very large, and after the survivors open it, they can only reach a small part of the treasure with their bare hands.

If you want to see and get all the treasures inside, you must put your body inside.

At this time, the treasure chest monster can immediately transform into a man-eating form, close instantly, and swallow any survivor who explores into it!

…What a terrible method!

Even Xu Xin, when he saw the thick layer of gold, silver and jewelry inside, couldn't help but want to see if there were other things buried underneath the jewelry.

If it was just an ordinary treasure chest, he would definitely search for the things inside.

But, these shouldn't be the only things here, right

"Can't you spit out the treasure yourself?" Xu Xin asked.

The treasure chest trembled slightly, and then there was no response.

It seems that it is not possible, I can only find it myself.

Xu Xin reached into the treasure chest, but was immediately grabbed by two hands.

One is Li Wenxi's hand, the other is Lou Feier's hand.

"Even if you get the key, it's too dangerous for you to do this, isn't it?" Li Wenxi thought of the scene where the vines were cut directly by the closed box just now, and felt a little scared. "Aren't you afraid of your hands being pinched off? Besides, there doesn't seem to be anything good in here..."

The treasure chest monster seemed to understand what Li Wenxi said. It trembled twice, unable to move in this form, as if protesting against Li Wenxi's distrust of it and the devaluation of its treasure.

"Let me do it. Let me see what's inside. I'm fast. Even if it dares to close, it can't pinch me." Lou Feier didn't want Xu Xin to take risks, so she said.

“…” Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.

Both women could not see the green dot on the map and did not know that the treasure chest monster was already on their side.

"Okay, then you come and see what's underneath these gold, silver and jewels." Xu Xin did not insist. He was happy to have some free time while someone else was doing the work.

After getting permission, Lou Feier immediately jumped up by grabbing the wall of the box, and leaned over the edge of the box. She put half of her body inside and began to search.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, and the box was 1.5 meters high. The box was at the height of her mouth and nose, so of course she had to jump to reach the things inside.

Looking at Lou Feier's posture, Xu Xin was speechless.

It would be better for him to take it himself. If there is really a problem, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous

"Fei'er, it's really dangerous..." Li Wenxi was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xu Xin put away the halberd in his hand, and then couldn't help pinching Li Wenxi's face who was leaning against him. Her face felt smooth, tender and cool, making him reluctant to let go. "It's okay for you to go in and search."

Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's hands that were pinching her cheeks, but did not push them away. She let him pinch them gently: "Is it really okay? Then I will also..."

"I found a good thing!" Lou Feier, who had put her whole body in the treasure chest with only her butt and legs hanging outside, shouted inside. Then she jumped out and turned around, holding a few contract cards emitting blue-grade light in her hands. Her eyes were full of surprise. "This is really a good thing!"

As she spoke, she handed the contracts to Xu Xin.

Mutant Beast Contract (Blue): You can contract a mid-level mutant creature and make it obey your orders.

Um

Xu Xin's pupils shrank.

Mutant beast contract

A blue-level mutant beast contract that can contract with intermediate-level mutant creatures

Several contract cards were filled with red fonts that he didn't recognize, and there was also a faint smell of blood.

Although he didn't know what these words were,...

But he knew the person who wrote these words!

Isn't this... the font of Changyin? !

He immediately took out the green-level mutant beast contract he had obtained before and compared it.

Sure enough, this is Chang Yin’s handwriting!

Exactly the same handwriting!

This Mutated Beast Contract (Blue) was definitely made by Chang Yin!

Why is there a mutant beast contract made by Chang Yin in this treasure chest

Lou Feier had once again leaned in to start searching, so Xu Xin kept this doubt in his heart.

Let’s see what’s inside first.

"Is this the mutant beast contract?" Li Wenxi took a look at the contract in Xu Xin's hand and recognized it immediately. Xu Xin had given her one before, and she had only then contracted with Aniu, so she was also very familiar with this thing.

"Yes, it's a contract that can make a contract with an intermediate mutant creature." Xu Xin handed the contract to her.

"A higher-level contract." Li Wenxi didn't feel anything about the mutant contract, so he gave it back to Xu Xin, then looked at the big treasure chest eagerly, "It seems there's really no danger! I'll go look for it too!"

Lou Feier was still searching.

She put the gold, silver and jewelry that she was sure were useless into her backpack bit by bit, but the things inside the treasure chest seemed to have not decreased at all.

“What…” She jumped out of the treasure chest and saw Li Wenxi standing next to her.

"What's wrong? Why don't you look for it? I'll help you look!" Li Wenxi was standing on tiptoe to look inside. "Wow, there are so many gold, silver and jewelry. If I bring these things to Earth, I will become a billionaire!"

"There are too many things." Lou Feier shook her head. "Besides, I feel like I've already put a lot of boxes of jewelry into the backpack, and the things inside haven't been reduced at all. I might as well just push it over and pour out the things inside!"

Too.

However, it seems inconvenient to do it outside. Since the treasure chest monster has surrendered, let's do this in the tree house.

"Can you move by yourself?" Xu Xin asked the treasure chest lid.

The treasure chest monster closed the lid, and when it opened it again, all the jewels disappeared, and the inside became a bloody mouth.

Then, under the gaze of Xu Xin and others, countless mutated vines emerged from its mouth and then bent towards the ground.

A dozen vines like spider legs propped up the entire treasure chest, and then began to run around Xu Xin and the others like a spider.

"How weird..." Li Wenxi blinked and looked at the moving box in front of him.

"It really moves..." Lou Fei'er's eyes twitched, "It looks like a big spider. It feels a bit disgusting..."

Xu Xin signaled the treasure chest to stop, closed it himself, and then put it into the bracelet.

Take it up first, pour out the contents and see what's inside.

"Do you want to go back?" Xu Xin turned his head and looked at Li Wenxi and asked.

"Ah?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, no, I won't go back. I... at least let me see what's in the treasure chest. I care about it so much!"

"Well... I'll go back first." Lou Feier pointed to her tree house, "I guess you don't need me anymore, right?"

She suddenly lost interest in the giant spider-like treasure chest.

"Well, go back and have a good rest, adjust and prepare yourself. Tomorrow, you will be needed to climb the snow mountain."

"OK."

Back in the tree house, Mimi and Yin Wang went back to the third floor, while Xu Xin came to the 100-square-meter space on the first floor, which was expanded by the banyan tree and was still empty.

He made a dining table, then released the Chemist with its opening facing sideways and placed it on the table.

At this time, the treasure chest monster is in the state of a treasure chest.

"嘤!" Coco followed Xu Xin to the second floor and was surprised by the sudden appearance of a large treasure chest.

"Coco!" Li Wenxi picked up Coco, and the man and the little panda looked at the treasure chest curiously.

Xu Xin directly opened the treasure chest lying on the ground.

“Crash!”

Countless gold, silver and jewels flowed out of the treasure chest and fell under the table, instantly covering several square meters of the floor.

"Wow!" "Hmm?"

Li Wenxi and Keke were both shocked.

"So many treasures, really so many!" Li Wenxi was stunned.

There were so many gold, silver and jewelry on the ground at this moment!

Even though this treasure chest is very large, it is still completely unable to hold all of it.

Moreover, jewels were still flowing out of the treasure chest, with no sign of stopping.

… What the hell! Did this treasure chest monster plunder the treasure house of some giant dragon

Suddenly, a large object fell out of the treasure chest and hit the pile of jewels directly. It was unknown how much gold and silver jewels were deformed. Both of them were shocked.

"Is this... a stone statue? A stone statue of a little boy?" Li Wenxi looked at the fallen object.

Xu Xin frowned slightly. This stone statue...

The jewels were still flowing out and were about to submerge the statue, so the two men quickly dragged the statue out.

“… 嘤?” Coco let out a puzzled cry, then circled the statue twice, stood up, tilted her head, and then suddenly realized, “嘤嘤嘤! 嘤!”

It ran to Xu Xin's feet, tugged at his trouser legs, pointed its little paws at the stone statue, and kept calling, "Bing-ing!"

Xu Xin knew what Coco wanted to say.

His expression was a little dull at this moment.

This stone statue of a little boy is hugging his legs tightly with his hands, curled up with his head lowered.

Xu Xin reached out and straightened it, letting the stone statue sit on the ground.

The stone statue of the little boy sat on the ground, staring blankly at the ground in front of him with a dull expression, just like... Lou Feier every time she just came out of the bracelet, as if she had experienced something terrible.

The treasure chest had stopped leaking jewels. Except for a small half box of jewels, the chest was completely emptied.

There were so many jewels on the ground that they covered an area of more than ten square meters, and there was even a small mountain of jewels piled up next to the table.

Among the piles of white-grade jewels covering the ground, there were many blue and green spots of light flashing, and even a purple spot of light, indicating that there were still real and useful treasures among them.

But these are nothing compared to the attraction of Xu Xin to the green-grade stone statue of a little boy in front of him.

Xu Xin was very familiar with this face.

This... isn't this the child of Changyin and Xuelan, the boy called... or something like "Xiaohong"? !

ah?!

Why is this little boy in the belly of the treasure chest monster

Thinking of the mutant beast contract made by Chang Yin himself in the treasure chest, Xu Xin looked at the stone statue of the little boy, and his eyes changed when he looked at the treasure chest.

He felt a little cold.

This treasure chest is actually related to Changyin's family!

In that case, what about that snowy mountain

Also, at the top of the snowy mountain, there are a bunch of stone statues that look similar to Chang Yin's family. Could it be...
