The swarm of insects completely retreated in just over ten seconds.
There was a lot of empty space all around.
Because even the mutated vines by the river had been trampled to pieces by the swarm of insects.
"Hmm!" Coco cried, indicating that there was no danger around. Then she jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and ran to the river.
"Don't touch the river... Hey!"
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, he saw Keke stretch out his little paws and paddle in the water.
He quickly went over and grabbed Coco, and walked away from the lake: "What are you doing?! Do you still want us to be besieged?"
“Hmm…?” Coco shook the water off her little paws and looked at Xu Xin innocently.
He looked around and made sure that no other creatures were around. He breathed a sigh of relief and gently tapped Coco's head: "Little guy, do you know something?"
Coco usually wouldn't do such dangerous things.
"Hmm!" Coco pointed to the river bottom and waved her little paws.
"Is there something at the bottom of the river?" Xu Xin frowned slightly.
“Bing!” Coco nodded her head, “Bing!”
There are treasures at the bottom of the river.
Xu Xin looked toward the bottom of the river, but couldn't see anything.
The river bottom was blue, but it was just blue pebbles, nothing to be concerned about.
Maybe there is something under this pebble, but this is not what Xu Xin needs to consider.
Because there was no way he could touch the river again.
He didn't want to relive the scene just now.
"So, do you want to go down and help me get it up?" Xu Xin rubbed the little guy's head and teased.
“Oh oh…” Coco shook her head violently.
It can't swim very well, let alone dive.
Xu Xin looked across the river.
For now, don’t think about what’s at the bottom of the river. Your current goal is to quickly reach that vine bundle. Who knows, you may be able to reunite with everyone!
He had already thought of a way to cross the river without touching the water.
Increases jumping ability.
Apart from this, he had no other way to pass through without touching the water.
But before that…
Xu Xin first made two wooden barrels and carefully filled them with half a bucket of water, being very careful not to let the water touch his body.
Then he looked back and after making sure there was no problem, he immediately made some more buckets and put more than a dozen of them into the bracelet.
It’s better to keep some of this polluted water, as I feel it will be of great use in the future.
After doing all this, Xu Xin didn't waste any more time. He directly opened his watch and chose the jumping power enhancement.
The power was transmitted to his legs, and he once again had the ability to jump dozens of meters high.
The mutated vines around him had been destroyed, and he retreated twenty meters away from the river bank.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Coco suddenly cried out, pointing at the location of the dead vines.
I saw the broken and shattered pieces of vines trembling slightly.
Um
Can they be resurrected
wrong!
The vines below have grown new ones!
He had already seen that from under the fragments of the vine, tiny pointed tips were poking out like bamboo shoots after the rain.
It grew very quickly. In just a few seconds, it had already drilled out several centimeters.
We have to act before they grow back, otherwise they will block the river and we won't be able to run.
"Keke, it's time for us to go!" Xu Xin put Keke on his shoulders, "Hold on tight!"
"Bing!" Keke already knew what Xu Xin was going to do, "Bing... Bing!"
Xu Xin had already started quickly at this time, accelerated to the riverside, stepped on the ground, and then jumped up!
Leaped directly to a height of several dozen meters!
Leaped right above the polluted river!
"Ah!" Coco grabbed his shoulders tightly with her four paws, her two little eyes wide open.
Xu Xin, who was at an altitude of twenty or thirty meters, could see the world more clearly at this time.
There was a bend in the road about seven or eight kilometers ahead where there was no river, so he could just walk across.
"Bang!"
He landed on the other side of the river.
Looking at the place under his feet, Xu Xin broke out in a cold sweat.
He was now standing less than one meter away from the river.
Just right.
If it were any shorter, he would probably fall into the water.
The other side of the river was also covered with swaying mutant vines.
This river gave birth to these vines, and these vines act like a protective layer for the river.
Even if they can't defeat anyone, they can only be at the bottom of the food chain, constantly being eaten and then constantly regenerating.
When Xu Xin landed on the ground with a "bang", they all trembled slightly, and the tips of the vines all turned towards him, as if they were looking at him with their eyes.
Fortunately, they just turned their heads to "look" for a while, and then resumed swinging.
A few hundred meters away, the giant rhinoceros seemed to be awakened by the sound and vibration made by Xu Xin. It twisted its huge head slightly, glanced over here, and closed its eyes again.
It seems that they really have no interest in Xu Xin and Coco.
The premise is that Xu Xin did not touch the river water.
The road ahead was completely blocked by these vines, but for Xu Xin now, it was not a problem.
He kicked off and bounced into the air again.
"嘤!" This time Coco was not prepared and was startled.
“Pah.”
He easily jumped over the mutant vine wall which was only a few meters long and landed easily.
Behind him, the vines showed no reaction.
In front of me, there were a few insects lying on the ground, some of them too lazy to move.
When they saw Xu Xin appear, they just turned their heads and remained motionless.
keep going.
Move forward towards the sky-reaching vine bundle.
This time, Xu Xin was no longer so careful.
He also knew that the other creatures here had no desire to attack him, so he gradually became bolder.
Speed up the pace.
Of course, he still had to be careful. He used his super hearing amplification to avoid the locations of those creatures that sounded very noisy and moved forward quickly.
The scenery of the underground world did not undergo any obvious changes during these few kilometers.
There are still vines everywhere, giant beasts are rampant, and giant insects are everywhere.
As a human being, he is like a small ant walking in the grass.
Keke would call out from time to time, warning Xu Xin not to go to a certain place and to avoid a certain place.
Xu Xin also trusts Coco very much and takes a detour every time.
In this way, apart from being suddenly attacked by a bug and being forced to fight back and kill it, nothing else happened along the way. It was very smooth.
It is worth mentioning that the insect he killed was the giant millipede he had seen hiding in the vines before.
The points gained from killing them are 120 points, which is already the points for intermediate mutant creatures, and even much higher than ordinary intermediate mutant creatures.
But their strength is not even as good as that of low-level mutant creatures.
After thinking about it, Xu Xin finally understood.
Judging from the bloodstains on the millipede's body, it is basically impossible for it to be a mid-level mutant creature. The points obtained from killing it are so high, probably because it has the blood of a giant beast.
But it is just a crawling millipede after all. Although it looks a bit scary, its combat power is very low, so it is useless even if it grows to three meters long.
Its body is indeed relatively hard, but Xu Xin's halberd is indeed a weapon made of purple-grade steel and is much sharper than its insect shell.
Therefore, the insect still died easily under Xu Xin's long spear.
And now, he was looking at the bundle of vines that was very close to him and narrowed his eyes.
His landing point was ten kilometers away from the central vine bundle, and now he had been walking quickly for more than an hour.
Although it took him a lot of time to get through the thorny vines and avoid the dangerous giant beasts, he was now only less than two kilometers away from the vine bundle.
This place is quite different from his previous landing point.
First of all, the closer you are to the vine bundle, the brighter the surrounding area will be.
If the brightness around the landing point before was that of a rainy early morning, then now it is as bright as a normal daytime.
Above the head, the gap thousands of meters above the ground was still emitting steady light, illuminating the area.
Secondly, the density of giant beasts here is much higher than before.
Before, there was a giant beast every half a kilometer, and each giant beast was very law-abiding and would not invade each other.
But here, the behemoth is not so honest.
The giant beasts here don't seem to have any territories at all.
About three or four hundred meters in front of his left, a giant antelope was confronting a wild bull. Both beasts were over twenty meters tall and had ferocious-looking horns.
About 500 meters in front of him, two giant pythons were fighting and tearing each other apart, with blood and scales flying everywhere.
Even from such a distance, Xu Xin could see the scattered blood and scales.
Um…
That scale is purple grade...
The sizes of these two giant pythons do not seem to be as sturdy and powerful as the giant anaconda in the center of the lake before it became stronger, but the materials on their bodies are actually purple grade!
When I pass by later, I'll see if I can pick up some trash.
In front of him to the right, about four or five hundred meters away, a giant bear and a giant tiger had just finished a fight. Both were injured and left with wounds all over their bodies.
Looking further away, there were such behemoths fighting everywhere.
But just like the two bears and the tiger, although they are fighting, they are not risking their lives. Once both are injured or the winner is decided, they will leave.
What is this doing
"Hmm...?"
Coco suddenly let out a puzzled sound, looked in a direction to the front right, and tilted her little head.
"What's wrong, Coco, have you found anything?" Xu Xin asked immediately.
“Hmm…” Coco withdrew her gaze, shook her little head, and nestled in Xu Xin’s arms without moving.
All right.
Then keep moving forward.
Just avoid those fighting beasts.
Although he had never used it much, the invisible cloak he wore still gave him a great sense of security.
If you are undecided, just stay where you are.
In front, the two giant pythons had ended their fight and crawled away to both sides.
Their fight also caused the vines in a large area ahead to fall into disarray, forming a flat area that was very easy to cross.
Xu Xin took advantage of the cleared area and ran forward quickly.
But this time, the giant beasts around didn't seem so easy to deal with.
Perhaps it was because he was running so fast, like a little mouse crawling under people's feet, that he immediately attracted the attention of the giant beasts fighting nearby.
After noticing Xu Xin who was running, these pairs of giant beasts stopped attacking and stared straight in his direction with their blood-red eyes.
"Ah!" Coco noticed the changes in the giant beasts around her before Xu Xin, and scratched Xu Xin's steel armor in panic.
When Xu Xin saw the gazes of the giant beasts looking at him, his heart was shocked. He gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
These giant beasts were only a few hundred meters away from him.
They are often 20 to 30 meters high. A few hundred meters to them is like tens or even more than ten meters for humans. It only takes a few seconds to get close to them!
Damn, why were these behemoths suddenly attracted to him
Can you please respect the fight
What does it mean to stop suddenly while fighting
He thought that these giant beasts would not notice his actions at all during the battle, but he did not expect that he would directly attract the attention of all the giant beasts around him
“Bang! Bang!”
"Shasha... Kaka..."
All around, huge beasts from all directions walked towards him.
Whether they were walking or crawling, they were all gathering in his direction.
Xu Xin's eyelids were twitching.
This is too horrible!
"Hmm! Hmm!
"Coco gestured anxiously with her little paws.
Its meaning is clear.
It’s to let Xu Xin escape quickly!
That's right, he must escape this time!
It would be fine if there was only one giant beast, but with so many of them, even if the Cloak of the Concealer was effective and they didn't find me, they could still unconsciously step on me to death with just one kick!
But if he dodges, the stealth cloak will become ineffective, and he will be discovered by the giant beast that is close at hand, making it even more difficult for him to escape!
No, I must find a way to leave!
what to do
Call out the Silver King
But the Silver King is even more of a sitting duck, and among the giant beasts around him, there are also giant beasts like tigers. He doesn't think that the Silver King can escape the explosive pursuit of the giant tigers!
Not only is he fast, but one of his steps is equivalent to ten of yours. How can you run!
Then run by yourself
Wouldn’t that mean that I couldn’t run any faster
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Xu Xin felt that he had been in a very miserable state since he entered this underground world.
That’s right!
Polluted water!
There is still contaminated water in his backpack!
When he touches the contaminated water, he will attract attacks from the surrounding mutated creatures. What about other creatures
He thought about the situation at that time.
The giant black beetle that emerged from the polluted river was violently attacked by the vines, and the giant rhinoceros that was drinking water by the river was also constantly attacked by the vines.
He suddenly recalled a somewhat incongruous fact.
Apart from these two guys, there seemed to be no other mutant creatures drinking water by the river.
There were no living creatures in the river.
Why
Could it be that ordinary underground creatures cannot drink the water from the river
Because if they get contaminated by river water, they will also be attacked by the crowd
Very likely!
He immediately looked around and saw a large fleshy worm lying on the ground, looking a little lazily, about ten meters in front of him on the right.
A giant caterpillar with a green body and dense spines.
It's you!
Xu Xin immediately kicked his feet and jumped diagonally forward, reaching the giant caterpillar in two steps.
Then he touched his backpack and threw a bucket of contaminated water directly on the caterpillar!
Before the caterpillar could react, he dropped the bucket and rushed towards the thick and sturdy vines that were only a kilometer away from him!
At the moment he splashed out the contaminated water and kicked off, launching himself more than ten meters away, the surroundings were quiet for a second.
What followed were the roars of beasts from all directions!
Right in front of Xu Xin, there was a giant, dinosaur-like creature rushing towards him!
The speed is amazing!
Damn it!
Xu Xin's arms shrank, he pushed his feet hard to the side, and then he quickly leaped to the side!
Barely avoided the dinosaur's impact!
He rolled on the ground holding Coco, then ran forward for several hundred meters before looking back.
When he was running wildly just now, he heard the roaring and fighting sounds of countless wild beasts behind him. When he looked back, it was even more frightening!
The caterpillar that he had splashed water on had now turned into a mess.
The surrounding giant beasts collided with each other and started a crazy fight!
The scene was extremely chaotic!
With sharp fangs, terrifying claws, twisted and powerful horns, and bloody mouths, the giant beasts used every possible means in a mad fight!
Xu Xin even saw scales and huge teeth flying everywhere!
All of them emit purple light!
However, he didn't care about going back to pick up those things. He turned around and rushed towards the thick bundle of vines!
He casually put the scales left by the two pythons fighting on the ground into his backpack.
I didn’t even have time to read the introduction, I just ran all the way!
“Boo! Boo!”
When he was only two or three hundred meters away from the vine bundle, Coco shouted anxiously.
He ran forward two more steps, then slowly stopped and began to breathe heavily.
He raised his head and looked back, and after making sure that no giant beast was following him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then he turned around and looked at the thick bundle of vines that was just around the corner.
This extremely thick bundle of vines, which was inserted straight into the ground and was composed of countless vines about 20 centimeters thick, was clearly presented in front of his eyes!
