Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 59: Mysterious Altar

Views:

Xu Xin decided to use this animal tendon to make a blue-level heavy crossbow. After all, his tree house only had one heavy crossbow and lacked protection in several directions.

But these pork...

Xu Xin had a headache. Three pigs, with a total of nearly 600 kilograms of pork, even if put into his current blue-grade backpack, it would still weigh nearly 60 kilograms.

It's not that his body can't bear the weight, but in this jungle full of wild beasts, the weight would affect his performance too much. Moreover, the Silver King under him would not be able to bear such a large amount of weight.

The last method cannot be used now. It is impossible for Li Wenxi to be in the tree house now.

Forget it, let's put it here for now. Although it is easy to be eaten by wild animals, it doesn't matter. Pork is not a good thing.

Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf, and Ke Ke also climbed onto the wolf's back.

Xu Xin looked at the map. There were several bright red dots around the general location of the blue light building. Although not as bright as the brown bear that Xu Xin encountered at the beginning, it was much brighter than the wild boar and his mount, the Silver King.

"Could it be a tiger?"

Xu Xin had seen a tiger the last time he came here. The big orange-yellow tiger made him sweat at the time. There were indeed tigers in this jungle.

Although compared to the brown bear, the tiger is just a small guy weighing 300 kilograms, but the agility and explosive power of cats are not to be underestimated. It is definitely the king in the same weight class. Even if the Silver King grows to 300 or 400 kilograms, it will not be a match for the tiger.

Tigers and brown bears are both top predators in the jungle and basically do not bother each other because they both know that the other is difficult to deal with.

Xu Xin now has no idea what to do with the tiger that even brown bears are afraid of.

Of course, an ordinary tiger is no match for the huge brown bear he just encountered. You should know that the brown bear subspecies living in the same area as tigers on Earth weigh only about 300 to 400 kilograms, so they don't bother each other. The big guy before weighed tons, and it was definitely the undisputed overlord of this jungle.

However, Xu Xin does not think that the tigers in this world are ordinary tigers.

Go around those red dots.

Cats mostly hunt by lurking and then bursting out, so they won't chase you if you run far away in advance.

"Silver King, walk in that direction. Don't go too fast, just walk slowly." Xu Xin instructed Silver King on the route to walk. Silver King let out an "ah" and walked forward slowly.

Xu Xin didn't dare to take out any more blue-grade resources. After all, if he attracted a tiger, he would be in trouble.

Small animals ran around from time to time, but without the attraction of blue-level resources, these small animals would not foolishly run towards him. The accuracy of Xu Xin's crossbow dropped significantly, but it was a good opportunity to practice hitting moving targets.

"Swoosh!" A crossbow arrow hit a rabbit jumping out of the grass.

Hunt a hare and get points: 1 point.

Xu Xin got off the wolf and walked over. He skillfully pulled out the crossbow arrows and put them into the quiver, and disassembled the rabbit and put it into the backpack.

This was the tenth arrow, and only three arrows hit the target. Although the hit rate was low, Xu Xin was already very satisfied. He was not a professional crossbowman, and the hit rate of this moving target was already very high. How could a hunter hit the target every time

Keeping an eye on the map, Xu Xin rode the Silver King through the bright red dots, getting closer and closer to the stone pillars emitting blue light.

At this distance, Xu Xin could already see the statue on the stone pillar.

"Is this... a beast statue? Silver King, hurry up and let's go to the location of the stone pillar."

"Ah!" The Silver King responded and instantly increased his speed.

In just a few tens of seconds, after passing through the jungle, the view suddenly opened up and the entire building was fully displayed in front of Xu Xin.

"It's indeed an altar!" Xu Xin said to himself as he looked at the building in front of him.

This altar occupies an area of hundreds of square meters in the jungle and is surrounded by the entire jungle.

The floor of the altar is not made of dirt, but dark green stone bricks. There are countless scratches on the bricks, and the color has become a little dull due to wind and sun, making them look quite old.

The altar is square in shape, with a nearly one-meter-thick stone pillar at each corner. The stone pillars are about ten meters high, and each is engraved with strange patterns, and there is a strange beast statue on the top of each stone pillar.

In the middle of the altar there is a stone table with an uneven surface. There are bright red patterns on the sides of the stone table, like blood vessels, which seem to be flowing slowly under the sunlight.

When Xu Xin saw the bright red pattern on the edge of the stone table, his heart skipped a beat.

This pattern was very similar to the blood-red filaments on the vines before, which reminded him of the group of monsters underground.

This altar must be related to those monsters!

It was difficult to dodge while riding on the wolf's back, so Xu Xin got off the wolf's back. Ke Ke jumped directly onto his shoulders.

"Coco, can you sense any danger in this altar?" Xu Xin asked Coco for her opinion.

Coco tilted her head and looked at the altar for a long time, seeming a little confused, nodded, and finally shook her little head: "嘤."

"You can sense something strange, but it's not dangerous, is that what you mean?"

"Hmm!" Coco's voice was affirmative this time.

Xu Xin exhaled. He chose to believe Coco. After calming his mind, he stepped into the altar and stepped on the stone floor of the altar.

“Click.”

Just at the moment when both of his feet landed on the inside of the altar, Xu Xin seemed to hear some sound. It was very slight, but he was still able to catch it because of his nervousness.

“No way…” Xu Xin’s eyes twitched slightly. Could he have triggered some mechanism

Swallowing his saliva, Xu Xin took out an orange from his backpack and ate it quickly, then looked at the map. Fortunately, the bright red dots were not attracted by the orange he took out. It seems that the attraction range of the blue-level supplies is not that large.

After eating the oranges, Xu Xin's mind instantly became much clearer, and the mental fatigue caused by hunting just now was swept away.

He took a deep breath, squatted down and touched the stone floor with his hand, but no prompt appeared.

He walked to a corner of the altar, where stood a thick stone pillar with a statue of a wild beast on top.

This beast has a fat body, short and powerful limbs, and two fangs that are exaggerated to the point of being outrageous. The fangs are even longer than the body of the statue.

"Is this, a wild boar statue?" Although the statue was carved very majestically, masculinely and abstractly, Xu Xin could tell at a glance that it was a wild boar.

He looked at the other three stone pillars, each of which had a different beast statue on it. Although the statues were very exaggerated and abstract, Xu Xin could still distinguish them: they were a wolf, a wild cat and a rabbit.

Looking back at the stone pillar in front of him, he reached out and touched it.

The stone pillars were a little hot from the sun and their surfaces were a little rough.

Altar Pillar (Blue): The "gods" will carve the required sacrifices on the stone pillar for the sacrificers to choose.

Gods? Sacrifices

These two words made Xu Xin's heart rise.

Yes, when it comes to the altar, there must be an object of sacrifice, which is the so-called god.

But why are the words “God” put in quotation marks in this introduction

"God..." Xu Xin thought of the mysterious voice in his mind, "Could it be this mysterious voice? Or..."

Xu Xin looked at the stone table in the center. The blood-red patterns on it seemed to be brighter.

"Or are they the monsters underground?"

“Who is this altar offering sacrifice to?”
