"This... What on earth is going on?" Lou Feier asked in surprise as she looked at the giant beasts fighting in the surrounding area.
She was not so scared anymore, after all, these giant beasts seemed to have no interest in her now.
"The current situation is a bit complicated." Xu Xin explained to her while looking around.
Judging from the behavior of the giant beasts around him, Xu Xin knew that it was not that they were no longer interested in Lou Feier, but...
Starting to be interested in all the living things around me!
They began to become hostile to all the creatures around them, and Lou Fei'er was just one of them, so they would definitely attack nearby and ignore Lou Fei'er who was relatively far away.
The thoughts of these giant beasts were now very confused. Xu Xin's messy thoughts entered his mind. The dozen or so giant beasts within the mind-reading range didn't even say a complete sentence.
It's nothing but murderous intent!
"So that's how it is..." Lou Fei'er murmured, "Then what should we do? It's obvious that we can't get out, right?"
Xu Xin was also very worried now: "Indeed. I originally planned to go by myself and you waited for people here, but I didn't expect to be trapped here."
"Uh... we should be considered lucky, right?" Lou Feier looked back at the main vine that connected the entire underground world and sighed, "The others haven't even come back yet."
This is also what Xu Xin is worried about now.
He looked around again and rubbed Coco's little head, who had fallen asleep again in his arms.
"Hmm...?"
The little guy was rubbed awake, opened his eyes, and jumped up in his arms out of fright, screaming, "Bing! Bing!"
It quickly climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder, looking around with its little head: "Mmm...?!"
This little guy...
When did you fall asleep
Xu Xin remembered that when the dazzling light appeared just now, although he couldn't see anything at that moment, he still heard the little guy's cry.
Did it also see the dazzling light
It seemed that he shouted and then buried his head in his arms.
After that…
It fell asleep...
strangeness.
Was it affected by the light just now
"Bing!" Coco, who had just woken up, pointed outside with her little paws and then shook her little head violently.
Its meaning is very clear, which is to never go out.
But it did not make Xu Xin and the other person leave their current place, which means that in Coco's heart, the place where they are standing now is safe.
Indeed, Xu Xin and the other person were now within two hundred meters of the main vine bundle and were not harmed.
Even though the giant beasts around here have gone crazy, they are still wary of this area. Even if there is a melee, they will stay away from here.
But in this case, as long as you step out of this protected area, you will enter an extremely dangerous area!
These giant beasts that have gone crazy are now attacking indiscriminately!
Xu Xin had already seen that the giant insects that were originally crawling leisurely in the distance were chased, trampled, and kicked away by the giant beasts while running in panic, and had been basically slaughtered!
The ground was littered with the bodies of crushed and kicked insects, as well as yellow, green, and blue insect blood.
The fishy smell in the air is really nauseating.
"Then... what should we do now?" Lou Feier looked at Xu Xin and asked, "Just wait here?"
“… It seems that this is the only way.”
Xu Xin felt like he really had a headache.
What is this!
This activity is too difficult!
His return this time might just be an accident.
If the normal process was followed and there was no problem with Lou Feier, six people should have gone together to open the prison.
As long as the prison is opened, the branches of the vines will shrink, and there is no need to go underground to explore.
This step is actually very simple. Just go back under the branch vine bundle and insert the key into the keyhole, and it will be done immediately.
That is to say, the time that the six of them open the branch prisons of the vine bundle will not differ too much, and they still have to enter the dungeon to explore, so no one will happen to return to the vicinity of the main vine bundle.
So under normal circumstances, all six of them should have been trapped outside!
The goal this time is very clear, which is to get everyone into this extremely dangerous area around the main vine area!
Because only by returning to the main vine can they open the passage connecting the ground and the underground world, return to the ground, and complete the mission!
And it can be said that Xu Xin's being here now is an accident.
When Wen Guixin opened the second underground prison, he was right next to the main vine.
And because of his increased jumping ability and his ability to read minds, he was sure that the group of giant flying insects were not hostile, so he jumped all the way back at an incredibly fast speed, just making it in time.
Otherwise he wouldn't have come back.
Xu Xin glanced in Wang Lei's direction.
I'm afraid I can't go out and help him now.
I hope nothing's wrong with him.
"So, the other four are trapped outside like this?"
Lou Feier asked as she tried to walk outside.
As a result, after she walked more than ten meters and stepped out of the protection range of Mo Lake, the giant beast closest to her suddenly turned around and looked at her.
She quickly stepped back and shook her head violently: "No, no, even though these giant beasts are not looking at me now, I will still be noticed if I go out."
Xu Xin also tried it.
Like Lou Feier, he was immediately targeted by the giant beasts around him and quickly retreated back to the protection range.
It seems that there is really no way out.
He frowned and began to think.
The situation of the other four people might not be too dangerous.
First of all, there is Wen Guixin. She must be outside the extremely dangerous area. After all, it was the last prison she opened.
Next was Wang Lei. Wang Lei fired a flare, which meant he was most likely still there waiting for them to come and help him.
Then there is Zhao Xiaochuan. It doesn’t matter if he is in the area, his ability can ensure his safety.
Finally, there was Ji Chaoyang. In Xu Xin's mind, he was the person he didn't need to worry about the least. Although there was no reason, Xu Xin was not too worried about him. Moreover, after opening the branch prison, his prophecy was also refreshed, so maybe he could see something.
Thinking of this, Xu Xin's worries were alleviated a lot.
He glanced at the underground location where Chang Yin and Xue Lan were.
These two people should not have noticed the changes outside. After all, they were more than ten meters underground.
Moreover, the giant beasts nearby were already fighting each other, and now they are even more frantic. It is not a big change, so it is normal that they cannot be noticed.
Let these two couples who haven't seen each other for a long time have a chat.
Now, he should do what he can do.
"Let's go, let's go into the main vine and take a look." Xu Xin turned his head to look at the main vine and said to Lou Feier.
"Ah? Oh, okay." Lou Feier was startled at first, then her eyes lit up, "Yes, now that the six underground prisons have been opened, the passage of the main vine should be open, right? Can we go back?"
"Let's go check it out first. Coco, lead the way. I don't want to fall in."
"Bing!"
Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and led the way.
"So it's because of Coco that you didn't fall in." Lou Feier looked at Coco who was leading them on a detour, and said with a look of astonishment, "Then you are not much better than us, my master."
"Coco is also part of my strength, right Coco."
"Bing!"
"Coco, why don't you just follow me? I'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!" Lou Feier teased to Coco who was leading the way in front.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Coco looked back, then shook her little head and continued to lead the way.
"… poaching people right in front of me?" Xu Xin raised his left hand, on which was still the bracelet that scared Lou Feier, "Do you want to be put in solitary confinement again?"
Lou Feier looked at the bracelet and immediately shrank her head in fear, a few steps behind Xu Xin: "I was just joking..."
"Me too."
"This joke of yours is too scary!"
The shadow cast by the bracelet on her is still unusually large.
Soon, the two were led by Coco to the vine bundle and to the gap that was wide enough for a single person to pass through.
“Hmm…” Coco stood in front of the gap, tilted her little head, and did not walk into it.
Then, it climbed directly onto Xu Xin's shoulders.
"What's wrong, Coco? Is there danger ahead?" Xu Xin looked inside, and the twisted vine wall blocked his view.
If there was no danger, it would have gone in on its own long ago.
"嘤...嘤!" Coco nodded her little head.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
Although he had walked through this gap once, the situation had changed now. The six branching vines had been retracted, and the internal structure might have also changed.
He had always thought that it was a bit strange that such a thick vine bundle had such a thin hollow space inside.
It seems that the internal structure should be changed now.
"Is this where you entered? Let me go first." Lou Feier stepped forward, "I'll explore the way."
"Then be careful." Xu Xin did not refuse.
Lou Feier is much faster than him and has one more life, so she is indeed more suitable for exploring the way than him.
Lou Feier immediately stepped sideways and entered: "Don't come in yet, I want to try walking inside first."
Then, before Xu Xin could say anything, she went in and disappeared.
“…” Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
Fortunately, he had a hearing enhancer, so he could hear Lou Feier inside, and the sound of her armor rubbing against the vine wall, so he could determine her location.
The sound became smaller and smaller, and she kept moving forward inside.
It seems that this section of the road should be safe.
"Let's go in too."
"Bing!"
Xu Xin also entered the gap.
This section of the road was similar to the previous one. The passage was very narrow, and the walls on both sides and above were made up of a mess of vines as thick as arms.
However, after walking about ten meters inside, Xu Xin unexpectedly discovered that the vines inside seemed more vital than the last time he entered.
Compared to the previous dark green, the color of the vines is now closer to light green.
Just like new buds in spring.
The difference is particularly obvious.
Sure enough, things inside had changed.
“嘤…” Coco pushed Xu Xin’s face.
"Is there any danger ahead?"
"Bing!"
Xu Xin did not stop.
"Eh? Hiss..."
At this moment, from the far end of the passage, Lou Feier's voice of surprise was heard, followed by a slight breath of cold air.
Xu Xin's eyes fixed.
What did she see
In danger
He immediately quickened his pace and tried to go inside.
“This… this is…!” Lou Feier’s exclamation was heard again from inside.
What did she see
The internal passage at this time is completely different from before.
The emerald green passage began to become wider, and most importantly, vines began to appear at the foot of the road, cushioning the feet.
That’s right, the road ahead no longer led to the center of the vine bundle as before, but began to slant upwards!
The passage starts to slope!
He continued forward, turning several bends in the vine tunnel.
After turning the last corner, the slope in front of me suddenly became steeper, reaching nearly ninety degrees!
He raised his head and looked upward.
The upward passage is more than 20 meters high, and there is a road to walk on.
Lou Feier's voice came from there.
This height doesn't matter to him.
“Hmm…” Coco was a little scared on his shoulder, obviously feeling something.
"Ah! You're in!" Lou Fei'er's head suddenly popped out from above, and when she saw Xu Xin, she immediately shouted, "Quick, come up quickly, up there..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Xin stepped on the spot and easily jumped to a height of twenty meters.
"Ah!" Lou Feier quickly retracted her head.
Xu Xin stretched out his hands to support himself and easily stood in the passage which was more than 20 meters high.
Then, seeing the scene in front of him, his heart shrank suddenly.
"Hiss—" He also took a breath of cold air suddenly.
"Isn't it shocking?" Lou Feier turned her head and looked again, her eyes wide open.
The above is no longer a passage.
Instead, it suddenly became clear and a large space appeared!
A space of approximately three thousand square meters surrounded by thick vines!
At this moment, the walls on both sides of him expanded forward in a V shape, presenting a space in front of him!
The height of this space is also very high, at least more than thirty meters, and he is located at a height of nearly thirty meters in the corner of the wall!
It’s about the height of ten stories!
That’s right, his current position is not at the bottom of this space, but high up on the wall!
Two more steps forward and he would be able to jump straight down!
The first thing that caught his eye was...
It is a whole field of large bats hanging above the main film space!
Moreover, these are no ordinary bats, but...
Stone bat!
A whole field of stone bats!
They were all hanging upside down above the space, it was dark and overwhelming, and the feeling of oppression was overwhelming!
These bats are not very big, and many of them are even smaller than Afu, but...
There are simply too many of them!
The entire area of more than 3,000 square meters is covered with stone bats!
He looked down again.
“… This is really…”
Below, there are also various stone creatures.
The number is outrageous!
Ordinary creatures, low-level mutant creatures, intermediate-level mutant creatures...
One by one, they all turned into stone statues, crawling on the ground, as if they were resting or worshiping.
What caught Xu Xin's attention the most was the one located in the middle of the main film space...
That pile of large stone statues of mutant creatures!
Giant elephants, rhinos, and various animals that only existed in ancient times...
Dinosaur stone statue!
Advanced mutant biological stone statue...
He even saw familiar faces.
Pterosaur stone statue...
Although these stone statues are huge, they are not giant beasts.
Because they are naturally strong! Their bodies are just so huge!
many!
Too many!
At a glance, the number of stone statues of advanced mutant creatures exceeds thirty!
this… !
