The girls around were still surprised by the change in the external environment, and were attracted by Xu Xin's voice and looked over.
Xu Xin immediately ran to the window and looked out.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the Crystal City has covered the entire surrounding area.
The surrounding tree houses had disappeared for some reason, leaving only a crystal city that was exactly the same as the underground space occupying the area.
This crystal city has finally seen the light of day again!
Xu Xin looked around.
"Um… "
Something seems to be missing around me
A map appeared in my mind.
The location of the crystal palace where he is now is the original location of the altar.
Around the altar...
What about that circle of hills
Hills, gone
He looked toward the southeast.
Because there were no hills blocking his view, he could see at a glance the very tall and lush banyan tree that covered a large area and was about three kilometers away.
That is his tree house, which was not affected by the Crystal City and still stood there. The parasitic tree houses around the banyan tree were also intact.
His banyan tree was very close to the buildings at the edge of Crystal City, probably less than 500 meters away.
The closest thing in this direction should be Zeng Tao's small tree house. The tree house had been eaten by insects before and should have grown again by now, but because her tree house was short in the past, it was blocked by the lush jungle and could not be seen.
If you calculate it, her tree house is less than two hundred meters away from the edge of Crystal City.
He looked back toward his tree house.
Yingying...
Is that really you
He must go back immediately!
"What's wrong?" Zeng Tao, who was standing by, saw Xu Xin's serious expression and suddenly became nervous. "What happened? Didn't Wen Xi just call you?"
"All of you, follow me now!"
The sunlight outside was still very strong, so Xu Xin immediately covered his whole body and jumped out of the window.
He rolled sideways the moment he landed and landed safely.
It was already the next morning, and the increase in his jumping ability had disappeared, but falling from a height of more than ten meters was still no problem for him with his current physical condition.
Around him, several women also jumped down one after another following him. Everyone landed easily. Lou Feier even had a Coco in her arms.
Xu Xin took a deep look at Shi Wanyun, then began to run towards the left side of the palace gate: "Follow me."
Except for Shi Wanyun, the other three women all have mutated bloodlines, so it is naturally easier for them.
But what surprised Xu Xin was that Shi Wanyun also landed very lightly. Among the few people, he seemed to be the only one who needed to roll on the spot, looking a little embarrassed.
… This is really interesting.
Shi Wanyun's eyes trembled slightly when she was looked at by Xu Xin, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Did he... discover something? What did he just go through?"
Beside her, Lou Feier, Zeng Tao and Jin Yue all chased after him. She let out a breath, shook her head and chased after him.
Xu Xin stopped next to the tenth crystal house on the left side of the Crystal Palace.
Yingying in the video said that these are the resources.
Before going back, you need to take all these resources away.
Although he wanted to go back immediately to see what was going on in the tree house, he could feel that it seemed that only he could open this building.
There is no way, the supplies here are also very important.
He reached out and touched the heavy door, and then...
The bright white light on the door seemed to be even brighter, and the door was slowly pushed open.
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her little head in Lou Feier's arms.
"So easy?!" Zeng Tao asked in surprise from behind, "When did you become so strong?"
She had used up all her strength to push the door open, but Xu Xin now pushed it open as easily as if she was pushing a wooden door.
Xu Xin did not answer, because he did not push the door open, he opened it by himself.
Inside the house, there were neatly arranged boxes and cabinets made of crystal.
"Wow! Crystal treasure chest! Crystal cabinet!"
"So all the treasures are here?" Lou Feier's lips curled up, "The treasures of this Crystal Palace are actually outside?"
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
There are a lot of things here, and these treasure chests and cabinets are connected to the house, similar to the interior of the palace. They cannot be taken away directly. It may take some time to take everything away.
"… You three, collect these resources and bring them back. Shi Wanyun, you are a guest, so come back with me first." Xu Xin said, "You can't find a way to go back for now, so stay at my place first."
Lou Feier, Zeng Tao, Jin Yue and the other two can be trusted, but Shi Wanyun cannot. These resources are very important and he cannot let Shi Wanyun stay here.
Shi Wanyun nodded slightly and said nothing.
"Are you going back? Something must have happened over there." Lou Feier turned her head and looked at him, "What happened?"
“… They contacted me and said my sister is here and I need to go see her.”
"Sister?" Zeng Tao was already opening the treasure chest. Hearing this, she turned around and looked at him in surprise. "You have a sister? A biological one?"
Jin Yue also looked at him with wide eyes.
In this world, family is a luxury.
"Yes, dear. Well, these resources are very important. You must pack up all the resources and take them back. I will go back first."
"good!"
"knew!"
"嘤!" Coco was not interested in anything in the room. She immediately jumped out of Lou Feier's arms and jumped onto Xu Xin's shoulders.
Xu Xin rubbed Keke's little head, nodded to them, and then said to Shi Wanyun: "Let's go."
As he spoke, he summoned the Silver King from his bracelet.
The moment the Silver King came out, all the hair on his body suddenly stretched out, and then he looked up to the sky and let out a long howl: "Awoo—"
Under the bright white light of the surrounding crystal buildings, its silver-gray hair looked more beautiful, and the blood patterns on its body seemed to become a little lighter.
Is this what Yingying in the video said, about strengthening the bloodline of the giant beast and suppressing blood pattern mutation
The Silver King's behemoth bloodline is relatively rich, so the effect is immediate.
"You come with me."
Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf, hesitated for a moment, and reached out his hand to Shi Wanyun, who was looking at the Silver King in surprise.
"Oh, okay." Shi Wanyun nodded slightly, grabbed his hand, and was pulled forward by him.
He didn't dare let this woman sit behind him.
"Silver King, return to the tree house at full speed!"
“Ouch—”
The Silver King howled again, then kicked off his foot, and the whole wolf shot out, running wildly towards the tree house, shuttling back and forth between the crystal houses.
"ah!"
Shi Wanyun didn't have time to react and her back suddenly bumped into Xu Xin's arms.
"Hmm?" Coco lowered her little head and patted Shi Wanyun's head with her little paws.
She subconsciously wanted to leave, but when she thought of her plan, her body paused and did not move.
But Xu Xin didn't dare to let her get so close to him, so he immediately pushed her away gently: "You should have a mount too, right?"
The mount is the reward for collecting the three treasure chests of gold, silver and bronze. Since Shi Wanyun has found the gold treasure chest, she should have a mount.
"Hmm... it was a very fast and large elk." Shi Wanyun was a little surprised when Xu Xin pushed her away, but she didn't say anything. "It should still be in my tree house now. I wonder what's going on with it."
Deer
“Good choice.”
Normally, deer are faster than wolves and are much larger in size.
Although normal riding is definitely not stable, with the support of the mount contract, it is also a very good mount. It does not need to eat meat like the Silver King, but only needs to eat grass.
The Silver King was very fast. In less than a minute, he rushed from the center of the entire Crystal City, the location of the Crystal Palace, to the very edge of the Crystal City and rushed out of the Crystal City.
The distance was about two and a half kilometers and it took less than a minute.
The Silver King's speed increased again.
The moment they rushed out of the Crystal City, the two people on the wolf's back immediately felt that they were enveloped by even hotter air!
It was too hot, and Xu Xin was now wrapped tightly all over, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Only then did he realize that the temperature in Crystal City was actually quite suitable!
Although when it rose to the ground, it was affected by the sunlight and the high temperature of the ground, and the temperature began to rise rapidly from around 20 degrees to at least 40 degrees!
But after that, the temperature seemed to start to drop, and eventually stabilized at around 30 degrees.
Because he was a little anxious, he didn't notice this. Lou Feier and the others didn't notice it either because their mutated blood had a low sensitivity to temperature.
Thirty degrees, although it is not a comfortable temperature, but compared to the temperature outside the Crystal City which is probably close to fifty degrees, it is simply the difference between heaven and hell!
It seems that Crystal City has the ability to control temperature!
That's right, the Giant Core and the Tree House Core, which are very similar in material, can maintain temperature, so it's normal that the Crystal City can control the temperature.
However, he had also tried those two cores when the hot summer came. Although they could bring warmth in the cold winter, they could not bring coolness when the hot summer came. It should be because those two cores rely on releasing energy to maintain temperature. No matter how high the temperature is, it is still high temperature.
But Crystal City can... Does this count as absorbing heat
Apart from the fact that the buildings are glowing all day long, that place is really suitable for living.
The 500-meter distance between the edge of Crystal City and the tree house is just a dozen seconds for the Silver King.
After he rushed out of the jungle, he immediately heard many people cheering.
"Brother Xin! Brother Xin is back!"
"Brother Xin is awesome!"
"That crystal-like city outside, was it really built by Brother Xin?"
“This is too strong!”
"Eh? Who is the woman sitting in front of Brother Xin? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"A new person you met by chance?"
"She's riding a wolf with Brother Xin! Why not me?"
"By the way, did any of you see it? Didn't a girl come before Crystal City appeared?"
"I saw her, and I felt that the girl looked familiar..."
"It seems like you are chatting with Wen Xi now?"
…
Xu Xin's arrival attracted the attention of a group of survivors who were leaning on the windows of the tree house and looking out.
They were still living comfortably on the first and second floors of the tree house.
"Xu Xin, come up quickly!" At this time, the window on the third floor opened and Li Yajun stuck her head out of the window.
Without saying a word, Xu Xin directly controlled the roots and quickly rolled him, Coco, the Silver King and Shi Wanyun up.
Everything is normal inside the house.
There was still joy downstairs.
However, those people followed the rules. Although they were extremely curious and excited about the current situation, no one went up to the third floor. Instead, someone shouted from below: "Brother Xin, please explain it to us when you have time! We really want to know what is going on!"
The moment he came in, Li Yajun walked towards him with an anxious look on her face: "Xu Xin, Wen Xi and the girl who claims to be your sister have been in that room and have not come out. Such a big thing happened in Crystal City just now, but they didn't come out!"
Li Yajun pointed to the second bedroom, which was the room where Ma Hongwei and Qin Fu had slept before.
Then, she looked at the unfamiliar Shi Wanyun who came in behind him with some surprise.
However, she was more concerned about Li Wenxi's affairs now, and did not ask who Shi Wanyun was. Instead, she said, "I knocked on the door, but Wenxi didn't let me in. I always felt something was wrong. You should go and have a look!"
Xu Xin immediately walked quickly to the second bedroom.
Because it was a bit noisy downstairs, he couldn't hear any talking in the second bedroom.
"Hmm?" Coco looked at the door, raised her little paws, and wagged her tail twice behind Xu Xin.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his restless heart, and knocked on the door: "Wenxi? Are you in there? And... Yingying? Is that you?"
But he waited for a few seconds and there was no response.
He couldn't wait any longer and immediately turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
But... the door was locked from the inside.
"...?" Xu Xin frowned slightly.
Does this door have the function of being locked
He immediately sensed something was wrong and knocked on the door, "Wen Xi? Are you in there? Answer me!"
Still no one spoke.
"What's going on?" Li Yajun was behind him, her eyes were filled with worry. "Just now when I knocked on the door, Wen Xi spoke! She told me to wait a moment and she would be out soon. Although she never came out..."
Shi Wanyun stood behind without saying a word.
Xu Xin couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately kicked the wooden door open.
Suddenly, a wave of heat came over me.
There was no one in the house.
Because of the loud noise Xu Xin made when he kicked the door, the downstairs became quiet at that moment, and the house was also very quiet. Only the waves of heat coming from outside the open window were a little unbearable.
… What's the meaning
"Why... why is there no one?!" Li Yajun exclaimed, "Did they... did they go out through the window?"
Xu Xin had already run to the window and looked out.
Normal scenery, nothing unusual was found except the heat.
… What on earth is going on
Yingying is not there, and Wenxi is missing too? !
"嘤!" At this time, Coco, who had jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder when he rushed into the door, screamed behind him.
"Xu Xin." At this time, Shi Wanyun behind him suddenly said, "Here is a piece of paper with a sentence written on it. It should be... left for you."
What
Xu Xin immediately stopped thinking about climbing down from the window to check the situation and turned back abruptly.
I saw a piece of white paper next to the bed in this bedroom, with some words written on it in black font.
Coco was leaning against the bedside cabinet, blinking twice as she looked at the paper.
He came over immediately and picked up the paper.
There was only one sentence on the paper.
Brother, I will take my sister-in-law away first. If you want to see her again, come find me!
… ha
This sentence was handwritten in beautiful and elegant handwriting.
But for Xu Xin, this handwriting...
He is very familiar with it!
"Yingying..." Xu Xin slowly exerted force and crumpled the paper in his hand.
His expression was solemn and full of doubt: "... Is it really you?"
Isn’t this Xu Ying’s handwriting
Yingying came to his tree house, took Wenxi away, and asked him to find her
What a mess!
In addition, the huge amount of information he hadn't absorbed yet, and he still had a lot of things to do... Suddenly he felt like his head was going to explode!
He took a deep breath.
"What on earth is going on..."
