Several people slowly walked out of the passage, and all of them were armed.
This underground warehouse is quite large and gives the overall feeling that it is a giant underground garage.
But what is parked in the warehouse is not cars, but...
Rows and rows of stone statues of underground creatures!
These stone statues are very different from the previous stone statues on the ground.
The group of stone statues on the ground led by the pterosaurs were larger than ordinary creatures, but generally speaking they were of normal size. But now these stone statues in front of us...
The smallest stone statue is a giant bug the size of a car!
The stone statues are arranged in a very neat manner, like an army deployed in battle formation, giving a strong sense of oppression.
And this is not the most terrifying thing.
Several people slowly raised their heads and looked towards the center of the warehouse.
A stone statue of a giant beast!
A...
Huge brown bear!
The giant brown bear stood on all fours on the ground, but even so, his height was already twenty meters!
Probably, the height of six or seven floors!
If this brown bear stone statue stood up, its height would probably reach fifty meters!
If this stone statue is alive, then this brown bear is probably one of the largest beasts they have ever seen in this world!
The stone eyes of the giant brown bear statue were staring at the entrance, which was where Xu Xin and his companions were.
This made all of them tense and confronted the stone statues.
At this time, Xu Xin also took a quick look at the resources around him that were emitting golden light.
The golden light was emitted from all around the huge warehouse, because the area in the middle was filled with stone statues.
Around the warehouse, against the wall, there is a large shelf every few meters.
It was difficult to see what was on the shelves, but everything, including the shelves themselves, was emitting a golden glow.
Gold-level resources are everywhere.
"Hmm?"
The first one to move was Coco.
Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulder, tilted her little head to look at the stone statues around her, and then jumped directly off his shoulder.
"Coco! Stop running around!"
"Bing!" Coco didn't obey. Instead, she ran a few steps to a giant stone statue of an insect, stretched out her little paws and patted it twice, then turned around and tilted her head, "Bing?"
It's as if to say, these guys can't move, what are you afraid of
When Xu Xin and the others saw Coco's actions, they felt nervous at first, and then they realized that nothing had happened.
"... They seem unable to move?" Zhao Xiaochuan said hesitantly.
"They shouldn't be alive now, right?" Lou Fei'er no longer felt nervous. She walked a few steps to the nearest giant insect statue and looked at it. "I can sense the breath of mutant creatures from moving stone statues, but I can't sense anything from them."
"That is to say, at least for now, they are still ordinary stone statues." Xu Xin also walked forward and reached out to touch the giant insect stone statue.
Beetle Statue (Gray): A mysterious stone statue that seems to contain a faint and strange vitality.
Here’s the introduction again.
However, the previous descriptions of the stone statues did not seem to have the prefix "faint".
The vitality of these stone statues is...weaker than those they encountered before
Obviously, its size is much larger than the stone statue on the ground
"How is it, Brother Xin, what's the situation with these stone statues?" Wang Lei asked nervously.
Xu Xin told others about his discovery.
"That... isn't that basically the same as the stone statue above!" Zhao Xiaochuan said in surprise, "If some conditions are triggered, won't they also come alive? It would be too scary if these big guys came alive..."
"Faint...?" Wen Guixin also came up, touched the stone statue, and then shook her head and said, "My ability cannot actively erode this stone statue. They... don't seem to be real life."
"Can you erode those stone statues?" Xu Xin asked.
Wen Guixin nodded, "The previous stone statues gave me a sense of life, but these ones don't. In my introduction, they only told me that they were mysterious stone statues. Let's put it this way, I already knew that the previous stone statues might come alive and move, but I don't think these ones will."
"Yes, I feel the same way." Lou Feier also reached out and touched the stone statue. "The stone statues on the snowy peak at least give me some similar feelings, but these ones don't."
"Is that so..." Xu Xin looked up at the giant stone bear statue that was staring at them and thought for a moment.
He had a guess in his mind.
Chang Yin once said that he was originally just a normal resident of this world, but was later turned into a stone creature.
And the stone creatures that attacked them before were most likely petrified from normal mutated creatures.
According to this inference, these stone statues here...
"This prison is probably..." Xu Xin looked at the stone statues in front of him and expressed his guess, "It's probably a processing plant for stone creatures. And these giant stone statues are semi-finished products that have not been completely petrified yet, or... failed products."
His words made everyone around him stunned, and then they all started to think.
"Petrified..."
Wen Guixin had already walked into the group of stone statues, touching one and the other, and said, "Are those stone statues petrified from normal mutant creatures? Your guess makes sense! To be honest, I have always thought that the stone statues of those mutant creatures were carved by humans, but..."
She raised her head to take a look at the giant bear and said, "Can such a big bear be carved? Its fur is so delicate. Moreover, it is so similar to the underground creatures here. It seems that they are really petrified!"
"That makes sense!" Wang Lei hammered his hand, suddenly realizing, "I've always thought that those stone statues on the snowy mountain must have been carved by someone with special carving abilities. I was wondering how long it would take to carve all the stuff in this warehouse, but this is actually the case! They just petrified real animals?"
"You two actually think so?" Zhao Xiaochuan was a little surprised. "I felt from the beginning that those stone statues were petrified from mutant creatures."
Lou Feier nodded and said, "I also think it was a petrified mutant. The stone statues before gave me the feeling of real mutants, especially the pterosaur. The pressure of blood was too strong."
"You thought of it right away?" Wen Guixin walked out of the group of stone statues, somewhat surprised. "When ordinary people see a stone statue, shouldn't they think it's carved?"
"But they can move!" Zhao Xiaochuan argued, "Can they move normally?"
"What you said makes it sound like being petrified and being able to move after being petrified is normal!" Wang Lei retorted immediately.
Xu Xin felt from the very beginning that these stone statues were petrified normal organisms.
After all, he had long known about the experiences of Chang Yin's family, so he subconsciously believed that these stone creatures should be the same as Chang Yin.
Not to mention that this matter is related to Changyin's family.
Xiaohong was taken away by that group of stone statues.
Now it seems that his guess was correct.
"In short, it's better if they are not alive. If such a large group of stone statues really come to life, it will be definitely difficult to deal with them." Wen Guixin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, we still have to be careful. Although it is indeed a 'weak vitality', it is still alive and may still be able to survive. We still have to be careful." Xu Xin reminded, "Okay, since these stone statues are not dangerous for the time being, let's see if there is anything else in this warehouse. By the way..."
The corners of his mouth curled up and he looked around: "This warehouse is full of golden light."
“Golden light?!”
"What the hell! There are gold-level resources in this warehouse?!"
At this time, everyone else's attention shifted from the stone statue in front of them to the surroundings.
“Is this… a shelf?!”
"Let's go check it out!"
"I'm going over there!"
"Then I'll go this way!"
The few of them quickly dispersed, and even Coco ran away on her own.
Xu Xin also came directly to a shelf.
On the shelf in front of him was a row of dark red medicines.
This potion is not gold grade, but purple grade.
On the contrary, this bottle was of gold grade, which surprised Xu Xin.
Using a gold-grade bottle to hold purple-grade potion
A bit outrageous...
He picked up a bottle of medicine.
Mutant Creature Potion (Purple): A potion that can enhance the strength of blood-marked mutant creatures. Originally, the effect was too strong, and there was a huge risk of backlash if it was taken by creatures below the high-level mutation level. After being improved by the high-level glass reagent bottle (gold), it can also be taken by intermediate mutant creatures.
Advanced glass reagent bottle (gold): Special elements are integrated into the glass. After the reagent is placed in it for 24 hours, it can greatly enhance the efficacy of the medicine and greatly reduce the side effects of the medicine.
!
A potion that can make mutant creatures stronger!
There are also reagent bottles that greatly increase the efficacy of the medicine and reduce side effects!
My goodness, every object he picked up turned out to be so powerful!
This thing is simply the most necessary thing for him!
Yin Wang, Mimi, Afu, Ai Fei, Lou Fei'er, Ma Hongwei, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, they all need to increase their strength quickly!
However, it seems that although the side effects of the Mutant Biological Potion (Purple) have been weakened, low-level mutant creatures still cannot take it.
Currently, the only ones who can take this medicine are Yin Wang, Mimi, and Lou Feier.
Only these three have now been promoted to the intermediate level.
Xu Xin pulled out the stopper of the reagent bottle, and a sweet smell went straight into his nostrils.
Smells so good!
It tastes somewhat similar to the red mist when it is thin.
However, the smell of the red fog when it is thin is not as rich and mellow as this one, and once the red fog becomes thick, the smell will turn from fragrant to smelly, which is very unpleasant.
Is this some kind of essence extracted
He couldn't help but take two more puffs.
It smells so good that even he feels like salivating and has the urge to drink it.
"What...what is this!"
Xu Xin tilted his head slightly and saw Lou Feier, who was standing next to him, staring at the medicine in Xu Xin's hand with wide eyes.
She was quite far away from here just now. She must have been attracted here by the smell of the potion.
Lou Feier's throat rolled, and her sight turned to the row of medicines on the shelf. She immediately reached out, took one down, and opened the cork.
"Oh my god! It's really something similar to the red mist!" Lou Feier's face immediately flushed. She took a sip intoxicatedly and couldn't wait to pour it into her mouth.
Then Xu Xin stopped her and took the medicine from her hand.
"What are you doing?" Lou Feier's medicine was snatched away, and she was a little anxious, "Give it to me now!"
"Can you guarantee that you will be back to normal after drinking it?" Xu Xin glanced at her. "What if you suddenly go crazy and attack us?"
Although this potion can also be taken by intermediate mutant creatures, one still needs to be cautious.
"Then...why don't you just put me in your bracelet..." Lou Feier said, looking eagerly at the potion in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xiaochuan's voice came from the distance of the underground warehouse. "What happened?"
"It's okay, you guys continue." Xu Xin replied, and then put away all ten bottles of medicine on the shelf. "It's not safe here, don't make trouble, wait until the situation stabilizes, or after we go back, then you can take it."
"Well... okay..." Lou Feier could only nod reluctantly.
"Did you find anything over there?" Xu Xin walked to a shelf nearby.
There were also ten bottles of the same medicine on the shelf, and he put them all into his backpack.
In this way, he had twenty bottles of potion.
There is no such thing as too much of these things.
"Oh, by the way, come and take a look!" Lou Feier immediately dragged Xu Xin over there, "That thing may be related to these stone creatures!"
Something to do with stone creatures
Xu Xin immediately followed her to the location she had just observed.
"This is… "
There is also a shelf here, and on the shelf is a fist-sized metal ball.
It emits a golden glow, indicating that it is a gold-level item.
Xu Xin took the metal ball in his hand.
So heavy!
Radioactive Metal Ball Bomb (Gold): Contains a special radioactive metal element that scatters outwards upon impact, causing radiation effects on surrounding organisms, turning their flesh and blood into stone.
"Hiss—" Xu Xin took a breath of cold air.
This is…
arms?!
Isn't this a grenade
Moreover, it was a grenade that instantly petrified the creatures it hit?!
There is such a thing here?!
"And here!" Lou Feier waved at Xu Xin from a nearby shelf.
In just a few seconds, Xu Xin put all the dozen or so radioactive metal ball bombs on the shelf into his backpack and walked over.
On this shelf, there is also a metal ball bomb like the one just now, but this one is much bigger than the one on the previous shelf!
Large Radioactive Metal Ball Bomb (Gold): Contains a special radioactive metal element that scatters outwards upon impact, causing radiation effects on surrounding organisms, petrifying their flesh and blood, with a chance of causing petrification-type mutations.
Xu Xin's eyes shrank.
Unlike the ordinary petrification of small bombs, this big bomb is...
There is a chance of petrification mutation!
Moreover, the following introduction...
He turned his head and looked at the stone statues behind him that were still motionless.
Have they undergone petrification-type mutation
"These weapons are so powerful. I think we shouldn't stay here too long." Lou Feier looked around. "If it suddenly dropped a bomb like this, we would all be petrified."
Xu Xin nodded slowly: "Speed up the search. Apart from these resources, are there any clues that can help us escape from this prison?"
"Okay!" Lou Feier nodded and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, Wang Lei shouted.
"Hey, hey, you guys! Come over here and take a look! I found the key to completing this activity!"
Except for Wang Lei, the others were all shocked by what they found on the shelves. When they heard what he said, they all looked at him.
At this moment, he was holding a...
Very large, metal key!
A metal key at least twenty centimeters long!
The entire key exudes golden light!
The four people who were scattered around the large warehouse immediately passed through the group of stone statues and gathered towards him.
"Another key!" Wen Guixin was a little surprised, "There is actually a key hidden in this warehouse."
"What is the key used for?" Xu Xin asked from a few meters away before he even arrived.
"Uh..." Wang Lei scratched his head, "It's said that the key to the branch prison can be opened and you can return to the ground. I don't know where this branch prison is. How about you come and take a look, Brother Xin?"
As he said that, he handed the big key to Xu Xin.
Secret passage
Xu Xin reached out and took the key.
Vine Bundle Key (Gold): The key to open the northern vine bundle branch prison. There are six vine bundle keys (gold), corresponding to the six vine bundle branch prisons. After opening all the prisons, the main vine bundle mechanism will be activated, unlocking the passage to the underground world.
After seeing the introduction, Xu Xin immediately opened his eyes wide and said happily: "That's it!"
Finally found it!
Vine bunch branches
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Could it be that the six thin vines that slanted down from the air and penetrated into the ground were the ones that sent them down
etc…
A passage to and from the underground world
