Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 426: The entrance to the underworld?

Views:

They have been wondering for a long time what is underneath.

Only by truly solving the underground problem can their teleportation array be considered a truly safe facility.

Otherwise, you will be worried every time you use it, which is really uncomfortable.

Several people came to the iron gate.

Coco had already run to the iron gate and pulled it a few times with her little paws.

"Let me drive it."

Xu Xin lifted Coco onto his shoulders, then squatted down and tentatively grasped the handle of the iron gate.

The handle was still very cold, but it was much better than before.

He pulled the handle upwards.

As a result, there was no pulling.

"Hmm?" He frowned and increased his strength.

The cold iron door only shook slightly, but still could not be pulled up.

Can’t pull it up

wrong.

This iron gate should have been opened.

Because this time, unlike last time, there was no warning sound indicating that the iron gate was blocked, nor was there the biting cold that directly froze the palms.

Last time, the prompt tone also said that the iron gate would open after the formation was unlocked.

"Can't open it?" Wen Guixin was a little confused, "Is this door locked?"

"You can't open it either?" Ji Chaoyang frowned slightly, "I tried once before and couldn't open it."

"It shouldn't be blocked." Xu Xin stood up and looked at the red mark on his palm due to excessive force. "Maybe it's because it's too heavy. I can't pull it open with my strength."

"Too heavy? Let me try!" Wang Lei immediately stepped forward, rubbing his hands.

Xu Xin nodded and made room for him.

Wang Lei immediately squatted down, grasped the handle of the iron gate with both hands, took a deep breath, and then pulled it upwards with force!

Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, this seemingly extremely heavy iron door seemed to have no weight in his hands. It was directly pulled up, opened, and flipped to one side.

"Oh!" Wang Lei used too much force and lost his balance, and fell directly to the ground.

"Bang!"

The iron door slammed heavily on the ground on the other side, raising a cloud of dust!

"嘤!" Coco immediately jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder, jumped in front of the open iron gate, and looked down.

"It's not very heavy." Wang Lei stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his butt.

Isn’t it true? In his hands, this iron door is just like a plastic door.

That's right, he is a strong man who can lift five hundred times his own weight.

Perhaps this iron gate is already hundreds of times heavier, and it is completely impossible for Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang to pull it.

But for Wang Lei, this weight is very easy.

"Oh! You are still very strong!" Wen Guixin clapped her hands while standing behind them.

These five people all gathered at the underground entrance. She didn't dare to get close and could only stand behind them.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang had already begun standing at the opening of the iron gate, looking inside.

In fact, the two of them were prepared at first that blood-red mist might emerge from inside.

After all, this entrance is too similar to the entrance to the underground world.

The same iron door, the same rust, the same door handle.

However, after they lifted the lid, there was no red mist, which made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

But after they took a look inside, their hearts began to hang again.

Inside the iron gate is a square iron passage that is only wide enough for one person to go up and down.

There is an iron ladder fixed on the wall on one side of the passage.

Whether it was the iron walls or the iron ladders, they were all covered with dark red rust and emitted a fishy smell.

Looking down, there is no end in sight.

It was pitch black.

Xu Xin was very familiar with such a passage.

Isn't this the exact same passage as the entrance to the Underworld and where the gold chest is found?!

this…

“嘤… ? 嘤!” Coco, who was standing at the side of the aisle with her little head tilted, suddenly thought of something, screamed, and immediately climbed up Xu Xin’s body and onto his shoulders.

It had also gone through this passage with Xu Xin at that time, so it naturally recognized it.

At that time, Coco was underground and was very afraid of the huge monsters underground. Now when she thinks of the scene at that time, she is naturally a little scared.

Xu Xin patted its little head and comforted it, then turned to look at Ji Chaoyang: "You predicted that it would go down the stairs, right?"

Influenced by Ji Chaoyang, he subconsciously thought that there would be stairs under the iron gate.

Ji Chaoyang also looked solemn: "In my prophecy, I was indeed going down the stairs, and it was a spiral staircase, but... at the beginning of the prophecy, I was already on that spiral staircase. As for how I came to that spiral staircase-like place, I have no idea."

Unexpectedly, there really is such a passage under the iron gate.

Xu Xin looked down solemnly.

"What's wrong?" Several other people also came over and looked inside.

"Isn't it just a passage that requires climbing? Is there any need to be so nervous?" Wen Guixin looked indifferent.

"That's not the case," Zhao Xiaochuan said. "If you climb up a passage like this, if there are any traps, there's basically no way to dodge them."

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other, wanting to say something, but were a little hesitant.

Can you tell them about this

"I've seen this passage before." Xu Xin spoke again.

"Have you seen it?" The others were all surprised.

"I found the golden treasure chest through this passage." Xu Xin said. He did not mention the underground world.

"Ah!" Wen Guixin opened her eyes, "You mean, there is a treasure underneath?"

"It's not that simple." Ji Chaoyang shook his head. "I don't know if the scenery below this passage is the same as last time, but..."

If it really is a passage leading to the underground world, then after these people go down, it would be equivalent to knowing the secrets of this world, right

If that was the case, he wanted to bring Li Wenxi and the others here.

Lou Feier had been staring at the cave entrance for a long time. After a moment of silence, she walked to Xu Xin and whispered to him, "There should be that kind of red fog in this passage."

oh

Is there red mist too

"How do you know?" Xu Xin asked.

"Although the smell is very light, but... for me, no matter how light it is, I can still smell it." Lou Feier pointed to her nose.

Her words were heard by several people around her.

Everyone else was a little confused, but Ji Chaoyang understood what it meant.

Now, the two are basically certain.

There is a high possibility that this passage is really connected to the underground world!

The two people who were originally determined to go down hesitated.

Should we go down and take a look

If it really is an underground world, it would take a long time to climb down, right

"You have a new fighter on your side, right?" Ji Chaoyang suddenly turned to look at Xu Xin, "Is her Zeng Tao? Do you want to ask her to come along? Since she has signed a contract with you, she should be trustworthy, right?"

If you really want to enter the underground world, you should naturally bring all your strong fighting power with you.

"No." Xu Xin shook his head. "She is still in a weak period, and..."

She cannot be involved in this matter for the time being.

She has just mutated, and although her own strength is very strong, the level of mutation is low.

This dungeon exploration is likely to be related to high-level mutant creatures, and she may encounter problems at her current state.

So, let’s forget it this time.

Let's improve her mental strength first.

As for Lou Feier...

Xu Xin glanced at her.

Seeing Xu Xin looking over, Lou Feier immediately said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with me. The last time was just because I was weak."

Lou Feier's mutation level has reached intermediate level, and she has already drunk mental potions many times.

If she were not in a weak state, her mental strength should be able to reach the level of an ordinary person.

Xu Xin nodded slightly: "If you go down, try not to leave me. If there is any problem, I can still put you into the bracelet."

"Well, are you ready to go down?" Xu Xin turned his head and looked at the iron gate not far away.

"Let's go, Brother Xin." Zhao Xiaochuan nodded, "We came together because we plan to explore directly."

There were six people in total, the same six people who had climbed the snow mountain before.

The six of them are also the best candidates to explore the dungeon.

Those who did not come were Li Wenxi, Qi Xuefei, and the two brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu.

Needless to say, the first two important logistical roles with little combat effectiveness cannot be put in danger.

The abilities of the brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu are related to water, so allowing them to enter the underground city is actually not much different from ordinary people.

Just let the four of them stay outside to take charge of the situation. We can't let all the explorers disappear at the same time.

"No, let two people go down first to check the situation." Ji Chaoyang said, "Xu Xin and I will go down first to check the situation."

Ji Chaoyang did not recommend that everyone go down together.

There may be danger down here.

Why don't they go down and take a look at the situation first

There is only one single-person passage, so there is really no need to queue up. If there is any problem in the passage, such as the red mist rising from below like before...

If that happens, too many people will only drag each other down, so it is better for one person to go down alone.

"You two go down?" Wang Lei felt that it was inappropriate. "It is indeed inappropriate to climb the ladder together. Why don't you let Brother Xin put us into the bracelet?"

"Not good." Xu Xin shook his head. "If something happens to me and I don't have time to let you out, I'm afraid all of you will be buried deep underground along with the bracelet."

The person in the bracelet cannot get out by himself. It is not a good choice to take a team to explore a place like underground where crises may occur at any time.

"Then you might as well let me go down. My skills are better than yours, right? Don't you admit that?" Wen Guixin walked closer and glanced into the passage.

"No, we have already walked this road once." Ji Chaoyang said, "We should be the most suitable."

"Let's go down and take a look at the situation first. If necessary, we'll notify you to go down." Xu Xin pointed at his watch. "If the watch has no signal, we'll come up."

Several people looked at each other.

They had long known that Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang had experienced some things that the world was restricted from telling. Perhaps they both knew what was going on, so they wanted to test it out.

But, let these two backbones go together, just in case something happens...

"Why don't I go down?" Lou Fei'er suddenly said, "My body tells me that it's not a dangerous place for me down there. It's even... very attractive."

She looked down, her eyes shining, and she even seemed a little impatient.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both looked at her.

The meaning of her words is really intriguing.

What was it about this place that attracted her

However, she is indeed a more suitable candidate.

If there was a problem, with her speed, she would be able to climb up very quickly.

but…

"Do you want to go down alone...?" Xu Xin frowned.

Lou Feier's mental strength is still a relatively unstable point.

He couldn't guarantee that Lou Fei'er was completely fine.

"... Why don't you go down with her?" Ji Chaoyang said, "If she goes down alone, there will be some problems. It should be fine if you are here. Besides, if it is true... you also know some of the situations down there."

really.

If anything happens to her, Xu Xin can still put her into the bracelet.

If she was not in trouble, but there was danger below the cave, Xu Xin could still get into the bracelet himself and let her run up with the bracelet on.

Her speed is much faster than mine.

Xu Xin told everyone his idea and managed to convince them.

In this way, the situation where he and Ji Chaoyang would not get into trouble together would not occur.

Moreover, Xu Xin's safety can also be guaranteed to some extent.

"Okay, that's it." Xu Xin rubbed Coco's little head, making Coco cry out.

Even if Lou Feier wasn't there, with little Keke here, and with his hearing improved today, he was confident that nothing would go wrong.

He first let the Silver King, which was lying on the edge of the huge pit, jump down, and put it and Mimi into the bracelet.

The two of them ate all the blue-level amplifying fruits, then nodded to everyone, and entered the passage one after another with Lou Feier.
