Seeing the monkey statue casually pulling out the crossbow, the corner of Zhao Xiaochuan's mouth twitched.
There's no harm in that!
Is it not deep enough
Or is it that the statue's weakness this time is not its chest
He looked back in the direction of Wen Guixin and Wang Lei and found that the two had already run away from another direction where there were no stone statues surrounding them, intending to go out and meet up with the people outside.
“… I’ll go out first too.”
He moved directly among the stone statues, even touching them occasionally.
Soon, he reached the edge of the huge pit ahead of the two of them.
He immediately controlled the hook to shoot out and pierce into the wall of the huge pit. He pulled the hook and flew up, and released his own ability.
The five people standing by the huge pit were now watching Wen Guixin and Wang Lei who were running out with some nervousness.
Fortunately, the stone statues in the pit did not seem to have a strong desire to attack.
They even walked slowly, watching the two people running in the huge pit, and they had no intention of catching up with them. They just looked at the two people, took two steps, and stopped again.
It felt as if they were being forcibly controlled and not attacking.
This made the people at the edge of the pit feel a little relieved.
For now, everything is fine.
At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that Zhao Xiaochuan had arrived beside them without them knowing when.
"Ah!" Coco screamed and almost fell off Xu Xin's shoulder. She quickly scratched herself with her little paws and climbed up again.
Lou Feier almost drew out her dagger and slashed at him, but when she saw it was a person, she put down her hands that were on her waist.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang also shrank.
This guy's ability is really...
If he were used as an assassin, he would be too powerful. The opponent would probably be stabbed before he could even react.
"Wow, when did you come here!" Li Wenxi was also startled, her eyes widened, "We didn't even notice you!"
"Haha, I just came up!" Zhao Xiaochuan showed a slightly smug smile, "I came through the group of stone statues. It's the first time we meet, hello, Brother Chaoyang, Brother Xin! And sister Wenxi and sister Xuefei, is this the beautiful Lou Feier?"
Qi Xuefei was somewhat helpless: "I am not Lou Feier, I am Qi Xuefei."
"I am Lou Fei'er." Lou Fei'er pointed at her nose.
“Ah this…” Zhao Xiaochuan touched his head embarrassedly.
He had never seen anyone here before, never had a video call, or even a voice call. He only communicated with everyone in the explorer group.
This time it's really like a face-to-face meeting between netizens.
"Not bad, at least you recognized me." Li Wenxi said with a smile.
"Sister Wen Xi's way of speaking is so easy to recognize. And you are the only one who holds Brother Xin tightly and won't let go." Zhao Xiaochuan pointed at her hand holding Xu Xin's arm and smiled.
“Ah? Hehe…” Li Wenxi let go of Xu Xin’s arm a little embarrassedly.
"It seems like you have never seen me before." Xu Xin turned and smiled at Zhao Xiaochuan.
She had been keeping an eye on the stone statues in the giant pit, and was relieved when she saw that they had no intention of rushing out of the pit to attack.
"He has seen me." Ji Chaoyang felt a little relieved at this time and said with a smile.
"Yes, there are only two men here, besides Brother Chaoyang, isn't it Brother Xin?"
At this time, two other people also came to the huge pit from the other side and were walking towards this side.
"This way!" Zhao Xiaochuan waved to the two of them.
Wen Guixin and Wang Lei came over quickly.
"Haha, I finally see you in person!" Wang Lei walked up with a cheerful voice.
But Wen Guixin did not step forward.
"I won't get close to you, to avoid any trouble." She stood a few meters away from the crowd, with her arms folded in front of her chest, with an excited look on her face. "Oh, although you have always said that Xu Xin is handsome, this appearance is really beyond my imagination. And Boss Ji, you are even more handsome in real life than in the video. You really are all handsome men and beautiful women here!"
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both smiled.
"Hey, I've already said that Xu Xin is very handsome!" Li Wenxi ran to Wen Guixin's side, "Sister Guixin finally came to help us!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't!" When Wen Guixin saw Li Wenxi approaching, her expression became a little flustered for a moment and she took two steps back.
"It's not that easy to meet him." Li Wenxi was a little puzzled, but still stopped.
“…” Wen Guixin gave a slightly bitter smile.
"My goodness, how could there be nothing!" Wang Lei on the side suddenly made a bitter face and pointed at himself, "I am one of the victims. It's so horrible. I feel like I am not myself anymore!"
"What?" Zhao Xiaochuan's eyes widened. "You've been infected before! How come I didn't know?"
Wen Guixin glanced at Wang Lei, then couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Luckily he took the antidote early that time, and recovered in a few minutes. You'd better not get too close, because it's not just me. Some of the things I touched at the time may also be infected with the toxin. Wang Lei was infected that way."
"That's right!" Wang Lei cried out, "I was infected just by touching the workbench she was operating! The workbench can actually be a source of infection!"
Lou Feier's eyes widened: "It seems that your toxin has many ways of transmission!"
Qi Xuefei touched her smooth chin and said, "Maybe I can make some medicine for the symptoms..."
"Okay, everyone." Xu Xin immediately stopped the small talk, "Now is not the time to chat. We need to think of a way to solve the current problem."
In the giant pit, the pterosaur statue has been maintaining the action of flapping its wings and taking off. It gives people the feeling that if it is activated again, it will probably come alive and attack the people around it.
But for some reason, the pterosaur statues and the stone statues of intermediate mutant creatures have all restrained a lot, as if they were controlled by someone, forcing them not to attack Xu Xin and his group.
… Changyin and Xuelan, are they the two of them
Xu Xin felt more and more that these stone statues were under the control of Chang Yin and Xue Lan.
Especially after seeing Xiao Hong, those low-level mutated stone statues began to run wild. After the treasure chest monster swallowed Xiao Hong into its stomach, the stone statues began to restrain themselves again.
As for where they are now...
Xu Xin looked at the iron gate that he and Ji Chaoyang had dug out.
If you go down from there, you should be able to understand some things.
But now, the most important thing is to deal with the matter of the teleportation array.
Wang Lei clenched his fist and said, "Do you want to go together and destroy these stone statues?"
Ji Chaoyang shook his head slightly: "Nearly a hundred stone statues with the strength of intermediate mutant creatures are too difficult to deal with. There are also pterosaur stone statues that are likely to be high-level mutant creatures. It is not easy to destroy them all."
"… Well, this pterosaur statue is hard for me to control." Wen Guixin also turned to look at the giant pit and said, "The time it takes for my mental toxin to control a creature is related to the speed of invasion and size. The speed at which the toxin invades this pterosaur statue is too slow, and its body is too big, so a lot of toxin needs to be injected. It's basically impossible to control it. But maybe I can give it a try on other statues."
Lou Feier took a step back, a slight panic rising in her heart: "Do we have to fight that pterosaur stone statue..."
Zhao Xiaochuan also shrank his neck slightly: "I don't seem to be very good at fighting such a big guy... Besides, I just tried to shoot an arrow at the chest of those intermediate mutant creatures, but it didn't work. The weakness of these intermediate mutant creatures doesn't seem to be in the chest."
Qi Xuefei and Li Wenxi looked at each other. They didn't have strong fighting ability and couldn't get a word in.
When facing monsters with strength above that of intermediate mutant creatures, the two could basically only shoot and attack them from a distance using explosive crossbows.
"Hey, there are so many of us, what are we afraid of!" Wang Lei didn't care. "This is the first time I've gathered with so many people! We will definitely blow up these monster statues!"
"By the way, where are Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu?" Qi Xuefei asked.
"When you connected the formation, they hadn't arrived yet, so we came to help first." Wen Gui explained, "But they are here now, right next to the formation. I asked them to wait a moment."
Xu Xin thought about it for a while.
He looked at his bracelet, then looked up at Zhao Xiaochuan, his eyes slowly lighting up.
It seems that he has found a solution!
"…Brother Xin, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiaochuan took two steps back in a funny way, "Why are you staring at me? Can't Sister Wenxi satisfy you?"
Li Wenxi was thirsty and had just taken out two gulps of water from his backpack. When he heard this, he spat out the water: "Ahem... What are you talking about!"
The people around him also laughed, and Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
Keke tilted her head on Xu Xin's shoulder, then turned her head to look at the iron door on the ground and blinked, "Hmm...?"
"So, have you thought of any solution?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
Xu Xin raised the bracelet on his right hand: "Depend on it, and Zhao Xiaochuan."
Ji Chaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly, then instantly understood what Xu Xin meant, nodded, and a somewhat relaxed smile appeared on his face: "It seems that it is indeed possible."
"What? What can I do?" Zhao Xiaochuan was confused. "Depend on me? What is that bracelet?"
"Ah! I understand!" Li Wenxi, who had entered the bracelet, immediately understood what Xu Xin meant. He clapped his hands and said excitedly, "In this way, even if we don't destroy these stone statues, it won't affect our future interactions!"
Seeing that the others were confused, Xu Xin immediately told them the functions of the bracelet and told them his plan.
The plan was that Xu Xin would enter the bracelet, let Zhao Xiaochuan wear it, activate his ability, and sneak into the light column without alerting the stone statues inside and teleport to their side!
He had just experienced Zhao Xiaochuan's abilities.
While his ability was activated, he truly had no sense of existence!
Xu Xin now has a coordinate in his backpack. After he gets there, he can directly place the coordinate next to the tree house closest to the teleportation array, activate the coordinate, and connect with this side through the coordinate!
After being connected, they can teleport and travel back and forth through coordinates.
As for the stone statues surrounding the formation, there is no need to clear them out now. They are too powerful, so we can make long-term plans.
This method can only be achieved with the cooperation of Xu Xin and Zhao Xiaochuan, combined with the functions of this new bracelet!
"That makes sense!" Zhao Xiaochuan suddenly realized and looked at the bracelet on Xu Xin's wrist. "This bracelet actually has such a powerful function!"
"I think it's fine." Wen Guixin agreed very much. "My tree house is the closest to the teleportation array. We can just put the coordinates next to my tree house. If you think about it this way, I will become your neighbor!"
Others had no objections and thought this method was very good.
In the end, they decided that there was no need to mobilize a large force, so Zhao Xiaochuan could just take Xu Xin back with him, and the others would go to Xu Xin's tree house and wait.
"I'm not going back. I just got here!" Wen Guixin waved her hand.
Although she was going to her tree house to set the coordinates this time, she didn't want to go back.
She wanted to see Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang’s purple-level tree house.
After all, the five people on their side all lived in blue-level tree houses, and she had never seen a purple-level tree house, so she was a little envious.
Moreover, her tree house was very close to the teleportation array, so she could see it after teleporting there. Zhao Xiaochuan had also been there, so he didn't need her to lead the way.
Xu Xin put Mimi Silver King and the others into the bracelet, and then handed the bracelet to Zhao Xiaochuan.
"Will it really work?" Li Wenxi was a little worried, "Will it not be discovered?"
"Don't worry, Sister Wen Xi!" Zhao Xiaochuan took the bracelet and patted his chest confidently, "That's how I got out. I walked directly through the stone statue. Didn't they find anything? I promise to send Brother Xin over safely!"
"Then come on, we'll go to Xu Xin's tree house and wait for your news." Wen Guixin looked at the tree house that could be seen in the distance and could no longer hold back.
Xu Xin nodded, immediately reached out to touch the bracelet, and activated the bracelet's storage ability.
In an instant, he disappeared from the spot and was stored in the space of the bracelet.
"Wow, it's really smaller!" Wen Guixin widened her eyes. This was even more amazing than the teleportation formation.
"Hmm?!" Coco, who couldn't be put into the bracelet, fell directly from Xu Xin's shoulder, fell to the ground, then stood up quickly, a little at a loss.
Li Wenxi picked it up and said, "Okay, Coco, come home with us. Xu Xin will be back soon."
“嘤…” Coco felt a little lost and buried her little head in Li Wenxi’s arms.
