Without saying a word, Xu Xin jumped onto the rusty iron ladder and climbed up with all his might.
Isn’t that red gas the same red smoke that was so smelly that it made people doubt their lives when he just opened the iron door of the underground passage and it came out
The smoke will float upwards and will definitely spread upwards along the passage until it fills the entire passage!
He absolutely cannot be caught up by this smoke. Whether it is poisonous or not is one thing, but he never wants to smell the smell that sounds like the poop from canned herrings in hell again!
Climb! Climb!
With the little panda Koko lying on his shoulder and a golden treasure chest on his back, Xu Xin was climbing up madly as if he had been injected with hormones.
Xu Xin, who was carrying the golden treasure chest on his back, felt like he was running with a heavy load at this time, but when he thought of the pattern on the treasure chest, he finally gritted his teeth and did not throw the golden treasure chest down.
He didn't know how long he had been climbing, he only knew that his hands and feet were almost numb.
Finally he couldn't hold on any longer and hung on the rusty iron ladder, gasping for breath.
He looked back with horror.
However, what surprised and delighted him was that the red mist did not follow him, but was far below. Xu Xin, who had night vision, could barely see a faint red color below.
The red gas seemed to spread much slower than he had imagined.
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on a ladder and began to rest.
Eat something before the red gas comes up.
Xu Xin took out an apple and started eating it, and gave one to Coco.
Coco also started eating an apple on his shoulder.
After the man and the little panda had eaten and drunk their fill, Xu Xin was almost done resting.
He felt his body with some surprise. If it was before, after intense exercise, he would never be able to recover so quickly. Now his physical fitness is really different from before.
Glancing down, I saw that the red mist was getting a little closer, but it was still very far away.
However, Xu Xin did not waste time and continued to climb up.
Only when he returned to the ground and stepped on the land protected by the tree house could he feel a little at ease.
Continuing to climb, Xu Xin maintained a good rhythm this time. He was no longer as flustered as before, and he got closer and closer to the exit step by step.
After climbing for a long while, just when he felt he was almost at the exit, Coco on his shoulder suddenly started to cry, her voice full of anxiety.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Coco so anxious, Xu Xin turned around to look.
Then he was shocked!
That touch of red was actually very close to him, only five or six meters away.
What's going on! How can it spread so quickly? !
In just a moment, Xu Xin figured out the principle. The red gas did diffuse slowly, but that didn't mean it was released slowly in the room below. As long as the release speed was accelerated, the concentration of the red gas would be high, and the air pressure would increase, the diffusion would naturally become faster!
"Fuck!" Xu Xin cursed angrily and quickened his pace to climb up.
He learned his lesson this time and no longer used all his strength. Instead, he maintained the rhythm. However, the extremely fast speed still made his body a little overwhelmed, and his breathing gradually became disordered.
While crawling, Xu Xin looked back from time to time. The red color was getting closer and closer to him, and was only two or three meters away!
"I saw the exit!" Xu Xin became excited. He no longer cared about the rhythm and started to climb up with all his strength.
Just before the red fog behind him was about to catch up with him, Xu Xin rushed out of the iron gate, then used the last bit of his strength to lift the heavy iron cover on the other side and slammed it down on the exit.
"Bang!"
A few wisps of red smoke came out from the last gap in the iron cover, and the rest was trapped under the iron cover, in that extremely long passage.
The wisp of red smoke entered Xu Xin's nose.
"vomit-"
Just a wisp of it made Xu Xin feel nauseous. He couldn't believe what would happen if his whole body was immersed in that red smoke.
Sitting at the exit, Xu Xin was breathing heavily. Due to excessive climbing, his arms and legs were shaking and his head was a little dizzy.
Coco lay on his legs and looked at him with her head tilted, as if asking why he was so tired.
"Little thing!" Xu Xin rubbed Coco's head unhappily.
After resting for a few minutes, Xu Xin felt his strength gradually recovering and stood up.
Walking out of the passage, the sunlight shone on him. It was already bright outside.
After staying in a relatively dark environment for so long, Xu Xin suddenly saw the light. His eyes couldn't bear it and he blocked the sunlight with his hands.
After gradually getting used to it, he looked at the ordinary plants on the ground and finally smiled with relief.
The world below was too depressing. The physical and mental exhaustion and impact on him along the way never stopped. After seeing the monsters in the underground world, Xu Xin now even thought that the beasts on the ground were so cute.
The surrounding area is still the wasteland left after the yellow flowers withered.
"Go home, go home!" Xu Xin now wanted to go back to the tree house and have a good sleep.
Although his orange (blue) kept him in a relatively excited state, his physical and mental fatigue had reached its peak. He didn't want to do anything now and just wanted to lie on the bed and do nothing.
It would take him about an hour to walk back from where he is now.
"Oh... When can I get a means of transportation?" Xu Xin thought that he still had an hour to go, and his legs, which had just relaxed, began to ache again.
He looked at the little guy who was dozing off on his shoulder again and shook his head helplessly. My goodness, I am the mount, right
There is no choice but to go back.
It was already the afternoon of the second day. The sun in the sky was about two o'clock, which was the hottest time of the day. Xu Xin took out the bottle of mineral water provided in the novice supplies from his backpack, took two sips, and walked slowly towards the tree house as if taking a walk.
After he used the bottle of special tree house root potion, the protection range of the tree house extended another three kilometers outward, which was equivalent to quadrupling the area. This range was too large, and it was really powerless to explore it on foot.
Xu Xin opened the map. At this time, there were still only wild beasts in the hills in the northwest of the map. When the protection range of the tree house was expanded, that hill would also be within the protection range.
"I should have unlocked the iron armor by now. Perhaps, I can try to hunt the beasts over there."
After walking for more than an hour, Xu Xin finally returned to the lake. The tree house was on the other side of the lake.
The lake looked very calm at this time, and you could faintly see piranhas swimming in the center of the lake.
"Huh? Why do I feel like the piranhas are moving around in a bigger area? Is this an illusion?" Xu Xin frowned. He found that the closest piranha he could see seemed to be a little closer to the shore than when he left last night.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Xu Xin comforted himself. He really didn't have a good way to deal with piranhas.
Walking along the lake, Xu Xin picked up many reeds that could be used to make ropes.
Back under the tree house, Xu Xin took out the bottle of gray potion from his backpack and sprinkled it at the roots of the tree house.
The roots of the tree house began to grow a second time, which lasted for two hours, during which time it was impossible to enter or exit the tree house.
Xu Xin: “… ?”
What does root growth have to do with going in and out of a tree house!
Looking at the tree house in front of him with grief and anger, Xu Xin, who had finally returned after a long journey of several kilometers, was locked outside his own tree house.
