Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 429: Entering the Underworld Again!

Views:

In the bracelet, several people sat together.

Yin Wang and Mimi were both in the bracelets, lying beside Xu Xin, looking a little lazy.

"Why did that room suddenly release red fog?" Wang Lei was lying on the ground, looking at the white space wall above him, and said depressedly, "And the mechanism cannot be triggered. If it weren't for Brother Xin's bracelet, we would have been surrounded by the red fog directly."

Wen Guixin was sitting a few meters away from them, looking at the treasure chest monster with a mouth. After hearing what he said, she turned around and said, "Indeed, you guys think that this red fog is a stage that we must go through, right? Is it like a baptism of red fog?"

Zhao Xiaochuan slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, if we don't accept the baptism of red mist, will there be any problems later?"

Baptism of Red Mist...

That's okay.

"Then do you want to go out and give it a try?" Xu Xin said with a smile, "I can ask Lou Feier to let you out."

"No, no, no, forget it." Zhao Xiaochuan waved his hands, "I'm afraid that once I go out, I'll pass out from the stench..."

Indeed, the smell was so bad that for the survivors, it was the smell of spoiled canned herring mixed with excrement, which was really life-threatening.

"In short, it's better not to inhale the red mist if you can." Ji Chaoyang said, "Perhaps it will have irreversible effects on our bodies."

"Hmm!" Coco nodded her head in agreement.

It seems that it doesn't want to inhale this red mist at all.

Xu Xin directly used his watch to video call Lou Feier.

It took Lou Feier about ten seconds to answer the call.

Several people gathered around.

In the video, there was a red mist, and even Lou Feier's face could not be seen clearly.

However, her bloodshot eyes and the slightly flickering red lines on her cheeks could be seen clearly.

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Did something happen just now?" Xu Xin asked.

"It's okay, it's okay," Lou Feier said a little embarrassedly, "I was a little absent-minded just now because I absorbed a lot of red mist. It's so comfortable..."

“It’s actually possible to move freely in the red fog…” The other people were all surprised, with a hint of envy.

"... You are not allowed to absorb too much red mist. Absorb as little as possible." Xu Xin frowned slightly. This guy started again.

“Well… okay…” Lou Feier’s face, which was vaguely visible in the red mist, fell slightly.

Xu Xin's words are like asking a hungry person to eat as little as possible in a super delicious buffet restaurant.

"How does it feel?" Xu Xin asked.

"I'm fine. Except for being a little absent-minded because I absorbed too much red mist, I don't feel anything else now except that my senses have been enhanced."

She walked to the wall and glanced at the corner. "The whole room is filled with red mist, but the emission of the red mist has stopped. The concentration of the red mist in the room is not as high as that in the cabin. It does not pose any threat to me. Even the hallucination I had before did not occur. However, it may also be because my mental strength is much higher now."

It seems that she should be fine.

"If you stay in the red fog for a long time, will you really have hallucinations?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"Well, but that happened when we first entered the red fog. It won't happen now." Lou Feier said.

"Hey, Fei'er, what does this red mist smell like to you?" Wen Guixin asked curiously, "Is it really not smelly at all?"

"Yes, not only does it not stink, but it is also very..."

Because they were on video, Lou Feier sat down in the iron room and chatted with them in a casual manner.

About half an hour later, Xu Xin heard a slight sound coming from the video.

It seems that...

"Ah, the red mist is beginning to fade!" Lou Feier immediately felt the difference around her.

Xu Xin nodded: "I heard the sound of some device changing the ventilation in the room."

"Is it finally over?" Several others stood up.

In the video, the red mist in the air gradually became thinner, and Lou Feier's face could be seen clearly.

The blood streaks on her face and the red glow in her eyes were gradually fading away.

In about three or four minutes, there was no trace of red around.

"Okay, you can come out now. I'll let you out now."

Immediately, the five people were released one by one.

The moment it came out, several people sniffed it gently.

Well, there is only a faint fragrance around, and the red color is no longer visible.

"Haha, luckily we have Brother Xin's bracelet and Sister Fei'er, otherwise we would really be knocked unconscious by the stench in this room." Wang Lei took a deep breath and laughed.

Lou Feier returned the bracelet to Xu Xin.

"Is there anything abnormal with your body?" Xu Xin asked after taking the bracelet.

"Don't worry, it's okay." The blood streaks on her face had completely faded away, and she said confidently, "It's only been half an hour. Before, in the cabin, where the concentration was higher than this, I could stay there for half an hour every day and still feel unsatisfied."

"You've made me want to mutate." Zhao Xiaochuan sighed, "It seems really convenient."

At this time, Ji Chaoyang had already stepped on a mechanism.

With a "click" sound, the gravity mechanism under my feet began to sink.

The mechanism is now ready to be activated.

"Okay, let's go and activate the mechanism."

"Yes, quickly activate the mechanism." Wang Lei walked towards the mechanism and said, "I have a feeling that there is definitely a treasure here! The red fog just now was a trap for the treasure. Now that we have passed the trap, as long as we trigger the mechanism, the treasure will be revealed!"

"Your idea does make sense." Xu Xin smiled and did not comment.

He did not forget the scene that Ji Chaoyang predicted.

In the end, he met Xue Lan.

What secret is there here

Soon, several people were in place.

Xu Xin was the last one to step on the gravity mechanism.

With a click, the iron bricks under his feet began to sink.

Finally, after sinking twenty centimeters, there was another "click" sound, and the entire square brick was immediately lit up, flashing blood-red light patterns.

At the same time, the entire floor suddenly shook.

"Hmm!" Coco cried, looked at the ground and tilted her little head.

Then, it began to vibrate continuously!

"Oh, what happened?" Zhao Xiaochuan shouted from the other side of the room.

"Has the mechanism been triggered?" Wang Lei looked around, "Can we get away from this thing?"

"Don't leave yet." Ji Chaoyang stopped him.

The vibrations continued, and several people were observing the changes around them nervously, fearing that some kind of attack mechanism would appear.

Then, changes occurred.

In the middle of the room, a 20-centimeter-thick metal cylinder suddenly rose up quickly and hit the ceiling directly. The impact made a crisp sound of metal colliding with metal!

The sudden change startled the six people standing on the mechanism.

"The trap is coming!" Several people even took out their weapons and were ready for battle.

But the situation was not as they imagined.

There is no offensive mechanism, but...

Below this metal cylinder, the originally smooth and seamless metal floor suddenly cracked!

That's right, the floor suddenly cracked into several gaps!

These cracks extending outward from the center of the room are very straight, and there are six in total, dividing the entire room into six petal-shaped parts!

And each part is exactly where all of them stand!

Then, the floor beneath their feet shook violently again!

"What the hell is going on? Is this iron room going to transform?!" Wang Lei exclaimed.

"Look at those gaps!" Lou Feier also exclaimed.

Several people looked at the gaps around them.

I saw that in the six gaps, six metal walls, only a few centimeters thick, slowly rose up.

wrong!

It's not the wall that's rising, it's the platform beneath their feet that's sinking!

Those metal walls, which are several centimeters thick, originally existed under the ground, and they are now exposed only because the ground is sinking!

If this continues to sink...

They were directly separated by these walls!

Soon, they sank at least two meters and could no longer see the other people!

"This mechanism is going to separate us!" Wang Lei looked at the rising wall, subconsciously took a step closer to the wall, and walked out from the mechanism.

"Card!"

Suddenly, a sound like gears getting stuck was heard from all directions in the entire space.

Then the devices in the entire room began to change as if time and space were flowing backwards.

How did it become like this before, and it changes back to the original state without any change.

The six saw each other again.

“Ah…!” Wang Lei was about to go back.

"No need." Ji Chaoyang stopped him and walked out of the mechanism.

Xu Xin simply took out his halberd and swung it at the iron wall which was several centimeters thick.

“Sizzle!”

Metals collided and metals moved, and bright sparks illuminated the surroundings.

Xu Xin sighed as he looked at the wall that was still sinking and only had a white mark on it.

This wall, like this room, is indeed indestructible.

Finally, the entire iron room returned to its original state.

Several people came out and gathered together again.

"After the mechanism is activated, we... will be separated." Ji Chaoyang frowned and said, "After this, we will most likely have to explore on our own."

The scene he predicted is finally going to happen.

The inevitable is about to happen.

He tried again and again to avoid exploring alone, but ultimately failed.

Xu Xin looked towards the original exit again.

There, it was smooth and there was no sign of any passage there before.

There is no escape in this room.

The only thing they can do now is to trigger the mechanism completely.

But that mechanism will definitely separate the six of them completely.

“… If I had known earlier, I should have brought a few more people with me.” Wen Guixin rubbed his head and sighed.

"Bringing a few more people may not be useful." Xu Xin shook his head and pointed to the original exit. "Maybe it will be blocked after six people enter?"

The entrance began to close after the six of them entered.

Perhaps, this dungeon requires six survivors to trigger, but only six people are allowed to enter.

"There's no other way. We can only explore on our own. I hope the watch can still be used." Zhao Xiaochuan also sighed.

"No, this time, we don't have to explore individually." Xu Xin pondered, "If we explore individually, why does this mechanism require six people to trigger?"

"What you mean is..." Ji Chaoyang looked at him, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean, Brother Xin? What have you thought of?" Wang Lei looked over with some confusion.

"I understand!" Zhao Xiaochuan clapped his hands. "It's just like those escape games. Although the players are in different positions, everyone needs to complete the task in order to pass the game. Is that what you mean?"

Wen Guixin was stunned: "There is such a game? If my teammates give up, then... Fortunately, none of us here are weak."

"Ah? If that's the case, I'll be really nervous..." Wang Lei touched his head, "I'm afraid I'll hold you back..."

Xu Xin shook his head: "I'm just guessing. The real situation will only be known when the mechanism is triggered. Let's trigger the mechanism quickly."

Several people once again improved their condition.

This time, their mentality was different.

Exploring together and exploring individually are completely different levels of difficulty.

"Do you have many blue-level oranges?" Xu Xin asked Lou Feier.

"Well, there are only four left." Lou Feier looked at the backpack.

One blue-level orange can keep you energetic for two hours, but four can only keep you energetic for eight hours.

It’s too short, eight hours, and I may not be able to get out.

Xu Xin gave her another thirty and told her that she must always maintain the status of blue-level oranges.

Her mental strength is weak to begin with, and if it cannot be maintained at its fullest state, something is likely to go wrong.

Finally, everyone stepped on the gravity mechanism again.

The mechanism slowly sank, causing the six people to become nervous.

"Click!" All six people's mechanisms were triggered.

The previous scene was played out again.

"Come on, everyone!" Wang Lei waved the big knife in his hand and said.

"You'd better be careful about yourself." Wen Guixin crossed her arms across her chest and did not look particularly worried.

"Hmm!" Coco waved her little paws.

Soon, Xu Xin could no longer see any other people.

Because the wall has completely separated them.

Looking up, the metal ceiling was moving away rapidly.

He was now descending, as if in a very comfortable and fast elevator.

The walls on both sides and the wall behind were rising rapidly.

If you touch the wall at this time, you will probably get scratched directly.

“嘤…” Coco seemed to sense something and snuggled into Xu Xin’s arms, feeling a little scared.

Xu Xin rubbed its little head and continued to wait.

He felt that the walls around him gradually began to tilt.

And his body could also feel that he was not moving straight down, but was moving diagonally downward.

A map appeared in my head.

Although the map can only show the scene on the ground, it can also determine whether his horizontal position has changed.

Sure enough, he was originally below the teleportation formation.

But now, his location was already one kilometer away from the teleportation formation, and was even getting farther and farther.

This is to completely separate the six of them.

Xu Xin swiped his watch, wanting to tell the other five people about his discovery.

But he found that he couldn't even contact these five people at this time.

"Okay, now we are completely separated." Xu Xin sighed and touched Keke's little head, "Luckily you are here."

"Bing!"

There are also Mimi and Silver King in the bracelets.

This is not a single-player exploration.

The floor descended for about three minutes, and then the speed began to slow down.

It's obviously coming.

Xu Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.

If he crashed into the ground at that speed, he would probably not be able to bear it.

However, he did not expect that he would be able to experience the "elevator" again in this world.

Soon, the metal floor "elevator" stopped.

Under my feet, there was still a triangular floor shaped like petals, and in front of me were still two walls sandwiched together. But behind me, where the wall of the iron room used to be, there was now a door.

A very familiar door.

Just like the door of a bank vault, there is a round, metal door handle that looks like a steering wheel.

Isn’t this the door to the iron room

It turns out that the room did not have a door, but the door would only appear after the mechanism was triggered.

“嘤…” Coco shrank her head in fear.

"Coco, is the thing behind the door scary?" Xu Xin said, rubbing its little head.

"嘤!" Coco nodded and called out affirmatively.

Xu Xin sighed.

He seemed to know what was behind this door.

He didn't release Silver King Mimi, after all...

Let's see what's going on outside first.

Walking to the door, he grasped the door handle that was like a steering wheel and turned it hard.

The steering wheel made a "creaking" sound as he turned it.

And the entire door was slowly pulled to the side under his strength.

The scene behind the door appeared in the eyes of Xu Xin and Keke.

“嘤…!” Coco immediately hung behind Xu Xin and called softly, only revealing a small head and looking forward.

Xu Xin also took a deep breath.

This scene shocked him again.

Just a few hundred meters away from them...

Countless green or blood-red vines were dancing wildly.

A strange creature as big as a dinosaur was running and screaming in the vines.

Suddenly, it was entangled by countless vines around it. The thorny vines scratched its entire body, causing it to let out a deafening cry.

But its cry did not last long and stopped abruptly.

Because it was thrown into the bloody core of a giant carnivorous plant, and it made a teeth-grinding sound of bone breaking.

He also saw insects as big as cars flying around the carnivorous plant, with flickering lights emitting from their tails, as if mocking the strange creature that had just been swallowed.

He came to the underground world again.

And this time, it is much more shocking than the last time!

At this moment, he was at the same height as these giant monsters, only a few hundred meters away from them!

This is too dangerous!
