It was not even seven in the morning, and Xu Xin was not in a hurry to go out.
Although he has already had breakfast, he still has to eat the Koi he just got. The functions of the Grill (blue) and the Dining Table (blue) can further bring out the effect of the Koi.
After eating the koi, Xu Xin did not feel any changes in himself like he did after eating the bear paw that enhanced his strength. Luck is something illusory.
After being fully armed, Xu Xin was ready to go out.
Today's task was simple: hunt wild cats, obtain enough sacrificial materials to offer to the altar, summon mutant wild cats and kill them, and obtain points and high-level materials. The points of one mutant monster equaled his full-scale hunting for a whole day.
It's just a little bit dangerous, but with Ji Chaoyang's experience, as long as what he said is true, Xu Xin is sure to keep the losses to a minimum.
Before leaving, Xu Xin first replenished the heavy crossbow with five arrows, loaded it in, and turned on the automatic mode, so that there might be a surprise when he came back today.
Riding on the wolf king, Xu Xin specifically picked wild cats to kill. The red dots of wild cats were brighter than rabbits, darker than wolves, and about the same size as poisonous snakes, so they were relatively easy to distinguish.
The enhanced crossbow can kill wild cats quickly and silently. The huge power of the crossbow arrow can even carry the wild cat's body directly into the tree, or directly penetrate the body.
Xu Xin had just cut off the wild cat's two claws when Coco on his shoulder suddenly cried out.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin became alert. Usually, when Coco did this, it meant she had discovered danger.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Coco pointed one of her little paws in the direction of the altar, grabbed Xu Xin's clothes with the other paw, and then shook her head desperately.
"Are you saying that there's danger over there at the altar and that I shouldn't go there?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded.
Xu Xin looked at the map and found that there was no bright red dot in the direction of the altar.
"But..." Xu Xin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it more dangerous than the blood-marked rabbit yesterday?"
"嘤!" Coco nodded her head very affirmatively.
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
That altar was very special, and he knew there would be danger, but the points and materials given by the mutant monsters were so tempting that he didn't want to give up because of the danger.
"Let's go to the hills and observe the situation first."
Xu Xin threw the body of the wild cat that had lost its two front paws into his backpack. He didn't plan to continue hunting and rode Silver King towards the resource area.
Silver King ran at full speed, and it only took a few minutes to cover this distance. Looking at the steep hill, Xu Xin got off Silver King and climbed up the hill himself.
Coco on his shoulder had been a little restless, and now the Silver King was also a little restless, obviously because of fear.
"what is going on?"
Xu Xin climbed up with all his might and finally reached the top of the hill.
Standing firmly, Xu Xin looked towards the altar.
What he saw made his eyes widen instantly.
"What the hell is that!? A giant goblin?"
The entire jungle resource area was surrounded by hills, and the lake, altar, and surrounding scenery were no different from the day before.
But near the altar, a huge humanoid monster with green skin stood there. The tallest poplar trees around were not even as high as its waist, and its huge body was exposed above the forest, which was extremely eye-catching.
Its green skin was covered with blood-red patterns, it had a bald head, deep eye sockets with eyeballs bulging outward, a very ferocious face, and an extremely strong body. Its body was covered only by a circle of torn white cloth hanging around its waist.
Xu Xin noticed that he was holding a huge stick that was thick at the top and narrow at the bottom. The stick was covered with uneven marks and had traces of blood.
The patterns on the vines and mutant rabbits are random and messy, but this is not the case with the humanoid monster. The blood-red patterns on his body look like tattoos, revealing an enchanting beauty.
The patterns on its chest formed a special shape, which was somewhat similar to the totem of ancient tribes.
"What the hell is this thing!" Xu Xin subconsciously took two steps back.
Checking the map, Xu Xin suddenly discovered that a bright red dot had appeared on the map at some point, and its brightness was almost as bright as that of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake.
When did it appear? There was no red spot when Coco reminded him just now!
While he was still in shock, the huge monster suddenly moved.
Its huge head turned towards the hill where Xu Xin was, and its eyes seemed to be staring straight at him, its bulging eyeballs full of bloodshot.
Xu Xin suddenly felt cold all over.
"Ying!" Keke rolled onto Xu Xin's back and hid, revealing half of her head and looking in that direction. The Silver King beside her let out a "woop" and fell to the ground.
He was so far away, how could this monster see him
Xu Xin stared at the monster's movements intently, and the monster's eyes, as if it had hyperthyroidism, stared straight at him.
"Roar!!!" Suddenly, the monster opened its mouth wide and let out a deafening roar at him.
The surrounding trees swayed in vibration at the roar, and even the birds near the hills were shaken and fell down by the roar.
Just as Xu Xin gritted his teeth and prepared to turn around and run, the huge monster looked at him, suddenly pointed at the altar with the stick in his hand, roared at him again, but did not move forward.
"… What's the meaning?"
Under Xu Xin's nervous and puzzled gaze, the huge humanoid monster waved the stick in his hand at Xu Xin, then turned and walked towards the hill in the opposite direction of Xu Xin.
Every step the monster took caused the entire forest to shake. The trees in front of it were directly pushed down by it, and even smashed away with sticks.
Finally, as Xu Xin stared in shock, the monster disappeared behind the hills. The sound of footsteps and vibrations ceased to sound, and the entire hill resource area became quiet.
“… It just pointed at the altar. What does that mean? Was it doing that to me?”
Xu Xin's heart was still pounding at this time. He grabbed Coco, who was lying on his back, held her in his arms and started jerking her off violently. Only then did he calm down a little.
"Boo, boo, boo!" Coco kept protesting, but it was of no use.
After the giant monster left, the Silver King stood up and was no longer afraid.
Xu Xin sent a message to Ji Chaoyang: "Have you encountered any strange monsters?"
After a while, Ji Chaoyang replied: "What monster are you talking about? Everything is normal here. I just went to the altar to check, and the remaining three statues on the stone pillar have not changed."
There are no monsters on Ji Chaoyang's side
Is it only he has
Xu Xin took a deep breath and replied, "It's okay. I always feel that there is something unusual around me. Maybe I'm thinking too much."
"Okay, tell me what's going on."
That huge humanoid monster covered with blood veins is only found here.
"You look like a troll from the game, so I'll call you a blood-marked troll."
This blood-marked troll seems to be somewhat similar to the giant anaconda in the center of the lake.
So far, he has encountered three huge monsters on the ground: the giant anaconda in the center of the lake, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream, and today's blood-marked troll.
Among them, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream will not be shown on the map, and has no hostility towards him, and even helps him get a silver treasure chest.
However, the giant anaconda in the center of the lake and the blood-marked troll stared at him as if they were staring at their prey. They roared and threatened him, but in the end, they did not hurt him and left as if they were somewhat unwilling to give up.
Xu Xin looked in the direction of the altar and carefully observed the surroundings of the altar. Only the trees on the path where the blood-marked trolls left were knocked down, and there were no other traces.
The blood-marked troll was so huge that it would have left no traces when it passed through the jungle. But there were no traces of its origin around. So where did this troll come from
Since it didn't come from anywhere else, there is only one possibility.
It emerged from the altar.
Xu Xin thought of the crisp "click" sound coming from under his feet when he stepped onto the altar.
"Could it be that there is a space under the altar? Or is it another entrance to the underground world?"
Xu Xin felt that the world was full of crises. He thought carefully about what he had done to cause the blood-veined troll to appear, and why Ji Chaoyang did not show up.
Suddenly, Xu Xin thought of something and took out the black and red altar knife from his backpack.
Altar Knife (Blue): A knife used to cut sacrificial materials. Remember to put it back to the altar after use, otherwise the "gods" will be angry!
Could it be that because he forgot to return the knife after using it, those "gods" were angry!
The more Xu Xin thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. The bloody troll pointed its stick at the altar, probably wanting him to return the knife.
Xu Xin checked his watch and asked Ji Chaoyang, "Did you return the altar knife yesterday?"
The other party replied quickly this time: "I have paid it back. What, did you forget?"
Xu Xin understood and said casually, "I forgot. No wonder I felt a little strange just now. Everything is fine after returning to the altar. Don't forget to put the knife back."
"You're too careless. Be careful what you do."
Xu Xin smiled bitterly. Isn't it already done? He was really too careless this time. Fortunately, the monster didn't seem to be able to attack him now.
Could that blood-marked troll be the so-called "God" or the messenger sent by the "God"
