"Coco, do you feel anything unusual around here?" Xu Xin asked Coco on his shoulder again.
"Hmm." Coco still shook her head.
Maybe not here.
Come to think of it, going down from this entrance is not a dungeon, but a huge underground world. The two are not on the same level at all. This underground world is not something they can access at this stage.
The mysterious voice also said that the entrance to the dungeon had just been opened, so it naturally would not be the entrance that had been dug out by Xu Xin a long time ago.
Xu Xin glanced at the iron gate and decided to let out the red mist inside, just like he did when he first came here. He would have to go in later, so he might as well deal with it.
Xu Xin held onto the rusty iron handle and said to Ke Ke on his shoulder, "Hold on tight, Ke Ke. We'll be ready to run away soon."
"Bing!"
He took a deep breath, exerted force, and suddenly opened the iron door.
This time he had much more strength than the first time. The iron gate was directly lifted open, and a large amount of red mist spread out from it.
Xu Xin sprinted directly out, rushed out of the underground, and mounted the Silver King in one go.
"Come on, Silver King, take a look around here!"
“Ouch!”
Looking back after walking away, Xu Xin saw the red mist constantly emerging from the wasteland and then being blown away by the wind.
Xu Xin rode the wolf around for a long time, keeping an eye on changes on the map, but he didn't find the entrance to any dungeon. There were nothing but trees around, and Coco didn't react at all.
"Isn't it in this direction?" Xu Xin frowned and thought. This area was the only place where he had contact with the underground.
Xu Xin clicked on his watch and checked the regional channels.
The regional channel was very quiet, and almost everyone went to look for the entrance to the dungeon.
Just when Xu Xin was disappointed, someone suddenly spoke: "I found the entrance to the dungeon!!"
Xu Xin immediately perked up and asked directly on the regional channel: "Where did you find it?"
This time he did not remain anonymous.
"Fuck! It's Boss Xu Xin! Boss, Boss, I found it in a cave near my home! I wanted to knock some rocks to repair the weapon before setting off again, but I heard a strange noise coming from deep in the cave.
I walked all the way to the end of the mine and found a new path, a very narrow cave entrance! The strange sound came from the cave entrance! This cave definitely didn’t exist before. I have explored the entire cave and remember it very clearly! This path is new and must be the entrance to the dungeon!"
"Did you encounter any danger when you discovered the entrance to the cave?" This sentence was sent by Ji Chaoyang. It seems that he is always paying attention to the regional channel.
"Boss Ji Chaoyang! Well, there's no danger. I heard some strange noises coming from inside, so I didn't dare go in. There might be some danger inside."
In the cave...
Xu Xin suddenly thought of the black bear cave he first encountered.
He entered the black bear cave several times and could hear strange wind sounds inside. It seemed that there was a cave-like space underground making a humming sound, but he searched many times and could not find where the sound came from.
"It really seems to be a black bear cave!" Xu Xin hammered his palm, "I actually overlooked such an obvious thing!"
Xu Xin replied in the regional channel: "Thank you. I will tell you what is inside after we enter the dungeon."
"Hey, Mr. Xu, you're welcome. I'll just wait for the strategy. You're busy, Mr. Xu!"
Riding on the Silver King, Xu Xin first returned to the entrance of the underground world, where the red fog had completely dissipated. He went down to the iron gate and looked inside. It was still the endless passage, with rusty ladders and iron walls.
"Huh?" Xu Xin discovered that there was visibly more rust on the ladder and iron walls of this passage than last time.
"Is it because of the red fog?" Xu Xin pondered, "Could it be that this passage has a certain number of entries? After being corroded by the red fog many times, it will become unusable?"
Forget it, this is not the time to think about this. At least for a long time, Xu Xin won’t have to go down and face those giant monsters underground.
Before leaving, Xu Xin closed the iron gate.
He always felt that if it was not closed, something strange would come out of it. And if the red mist could really mutate the beasts as he guessed, and if this place could still spew out red mist from time to time, it would be a real waste of time.
Riding on the Silver King, Xu Xin quickly shuttled through the jungle, and shot a wild cat to death with a crossbow.
Kill the wild cat and get points: 1 point.
Sure enough, points can still be obtained. However, in the previous hunting activities, wild cats were worth 5 points, but now it has dropped directly to 1 point.
After dismembering the wild cat's body and throwing it into his backpack, Xu Xin suddenly remembered that the giant crocodile was lurking in the stream at the entrance of the black bear cave.
He had always wanted to try and see if he could ask this crocodile brother to come to his lake and solve the problem of piranhas in the lake.
To this giant crocodile, piranhas are probably nothing at all. Those piranhas may not be able to break its defense, and it may kill a whole group of piranhas with one bite.
Although the red dot of the Deinosuchus cannot be seen, its strength level is likely to be on the same level as the giant anaconda in the center of the lake.
At the moment, it seems that it has no hostility towards me, so I will try to build a good relationship with it.
So Xu Xin returned to the tree house first and brought out two hundred kilograms of wild boar meat left over from the previous hunt. Although it might not be a lot for the giant crocodile, it was a token of his appreciation, and it would be easier to ask for a favor when the time came.
Soon, Xu Xin came to the stream near the entrance of the black bear cave. The stream was rushing, but still clear to the bottom. If Xu Xin had not known that the rocky bottom of the stream was the back of a crocodile, he would not have seen anything unusual.
Xu Xinxi said tentatively: "Brother Crocodile, are you there?"
The moment he finished speaking, the stream reacted.
A small whirlpool appeared in the middle of the stream, as if responding to him.
It’s still there!
Xu Xin glanced at the map. There was still no red dot on the map, which meant that the crocodile still did not belong to the hostile forces.
Slightly relieved, Xu Xin placed the 200 kilograms of pork by the stream and said with a smile: "Brother Crocodile, I told you before I left last time that I would bring you some delicious food when I pass by. Although this is a little less for you, it can be used as a snack."
A pair of eyes slowly emerged from the water and looked at the pork that Xu Xin placed on the ground.
Then, a giant crocodile emerged from the water and swam slowly towards Xu Xin. It was said to be swimming, but in fact it was wading, after all, the stream was too shallow for the giant crocodile.
Xu Xin's facial muscles twitched, but he resisted the urge to retreat. This giant body looked very oppressive. But since there was no red on the map, it meant that it had no hostility towards him, and retreating might cause dissatisfaction on the other side.
The Silver King didn't lie on the ground in fear like he did when he saw the blood-marked troll before, but he was obviously a little scared, and his body was close to Xu Xin. Coco was not scared at all, and even cried "Hello" to the crocodile.
The crocodile grabbed the pork by the stream with its huge mouth, tilted its head back, and swallowed the 200 kilograms of pork into its stomach in one gulp.
What a big mouth.
"嘤!" Coco's eyes widened when she saw this scene, and even her little paws stopped saying hello.
The crocodile, which had swallowed all the pork, let out a low, soothing roar towards Xu Xin and Coco. Xu Xin could hear a hint of kindness in the roar.
Then, the giant crocodile retreated back to the bottom of the water, dived, and the stream returned to its original state again.
Xu Xin waved towards the stream and said, "I'm leaving, Brother Crocodile. I'll come see you next time."
"Ying!" Coco also greeted.
Another whirlpool appeared on the water surface, and the crocodile responded to them.
Does this count as... gaining some favor from this giant crocodile
After this event is over, I'll let it take care of the piranha.
Next, it’s the highlight.
Xu Xin turned around and looked at the entrance of the black bear cave. When he approached the black bear cave, he heard a more obvious wind sound inside, which was much louder than before.
It seems that the entrance is indeed in this cave.
With Silver King and Coco, Xu Xin carefully stepped into the black bear cave.
