Xu Xin discovered the difference from the name of the mouse.
The rabbits and cats that had previously jumped out of the stone carvings on the altar all had a prefix: "contaminated".
The blood-marked rabbit is a contaminated mutated wild rabbit, and the blood-marked cat is a contaminated mutated wild cat, but the name of the mouse this time does not mention that it is contaminated, it is just called a mutant mouse.
Is this because it has not been completely stained by the blood veins
Xu Xin looked at the rat meat in his hand and found that there were no patterns on the rat meat, only the rat skin had blood-red patterns. You know, the blood-red patterns on the rabbit meat and cat meat before were deep into the flesh and blood, and even deep into the bones.
It seems that these mice are just low-level mutant creatures. They have not been completely eroded by the strange blood veins, but only their fur has been eroded, so the material level is relatively low. Although they are stronger than ordinary mice, they are indeed much weaker than the completely eroded altar mutant beasts.
Xu Xin picked up a piece of mutant rat meat and brought it to Keke: "Keke, do you want to eat this rat meat?"
Coco pushed the meat away with her paw, with a look of disgust on her face. It wasn't because she was crazy about rabbit or cat meat, nor was it because she hated the meat of tigers that died from eating contaminated mutated meat. She simply hated it because it was rat meat.
It seems that there should be nothing wrong with the meat. He can try rat meat when he goes back. He has never eaten it before.
After putting the decomposed materials from the two mutant rats into the backpack, Xu Xin carried Coco on his shoulders and continued walking forward.
Soon, Xu Xin came to the next fork in the road. He carved a mark again and continued on his way.
In this way, he passed several forks in the road without encountering danger again.
As he continued to grope forward in the narrow gap, suddenly, there was a sound of rock breaking under his feet, and then his feet felt empty and his body fell instantly!
“Fuck!”
Fortunately, the passage was narrow, and his body, which was originally leaning sideways, suddenly straightened up, and the whole person was stuck in the narrow gap and did not continue to fall.
"Ah!" Coco on my shoulder was startled.
Xu Xin took a step back in shock: "There is actually a trap here!"
Looking at the place where he had just stepped, Xu Xin couldn't help but take a breath.
There was only a thin layer of stone there, which collapsed under his foot, revealing a hole that was a circle larger than his foot. Looking down through the hole, it was extremely deep and seemed to lead directly to hell.
Even though he now had night vision, he still couldn't see what was below him, there was only pitch darkness.
"Is this also an underground world?"
Xu Xin picked up a piece of gravel and threw it down. He waited for a long time, but there was no sound he wanted to hear.
"How deep is it?" Xu Xin looked at the road ahead and didn't dare to go any further. He took out a stone from his backpack and threw it hard towards the place in front of him that had not been stepped on yet.
"Crack!" A large piece of the road surface in the narrow gap was instantly shattered.
This section of road looks like a crack in the ground that appeared after an earthquake.
"It looks like this road is a dead end." Xu Xin slowly backed away, then sent a message to Li Wenxi: "Be careful, you might miss the ground and fall."
Li Wenxi replied quickly: "I just encountered it. Now I am sitting on the ground to calm down. I almost fell down!"
"Have you encountered any other danger?" Xu Xin asked.
"Hmm... It seems that there are no more. There are only a few rats, and I almost fell this time. I didn't encounter any danger. But getting lost is really annoying."
"Leave a mark and don't take the same route twice, so you don't get lost in circles. I'll go to the group and ask them what's going on."
"Oh ok."
Xu Xin returned to the previous fork in the road and carved a cross at the gap to indicate that he could not go any further. Then he did not rush forward, but asked in the Explorer: "Have you found the entrance?"
Within a few seconds, several replies appeared in the group.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Found it, a small gap with a strange sound!"
Wang Lei: "I found it too, in the cave."
Wen Guixin: "This gap is too small. The further you go in, the more crowded it gets. There are even rats!"
Qin Yunlong: "Are you all in a maze? How do you get out of here? Has anyone gotten out?"
Qi Xuefei: "I encountered a big centipede. If you kill it, you can sell it to me. It can be used as medicine."
Even Qin Yunhu, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Qin Yunhu: "I just killed a centipede. It was really big, like a snake."
Li Wenxi: "Be careful, some places on the ground here are not solid. I almost fell down when I stepped on empty space! It's too deep down there!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Will you miss a step?! You really need to be careful. I was just walking very fast to save time, which was a bit like asking for death..."
Centipede
"Do the centipedes you encountered have blood-red patterns on their bodies?" Xu Xin asked.
Qi Xuefei: "Yes, it has very strange patterns. It should be a special species. Have you encountered centipedes too?"
Wen Guixin: "That dead rat also has red patterns on its body, which looks a bit creepy. It has quite a few points, 20 points for each one. It's called a mutant rat."
It seems that the things everyone encounters are similar, at least they are all mutant creatures.
"Has no one walked out of the maze yet?" Ji Chaoyang suddenly spoke.
"I didn't, it's still spinning." "Me neither." "I just came in."
It seems that no one has discovered any pattern in this maze, so we can only explore it on our own.
Xu Xin continued to explore in the direction he had never been before, and every time he turned a corner he would carve a mark on the wall in that direction.
There were several attacks by rats along the way, which he dealt with all of them.
Soon, he saw the mark he had carved earlier at a fork in the road.
"Is this... turned back?" Xu Xin frowned.
There was no other choice, Xu Xin could only choose another gap and enter it sideways.
"Ying!" Before he had taken a few steps, Coco, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly cried again. Just now, every time he encountered a mutant rat, Coco would inform Xu Xin in advance.
"There's danger again!" Xu Xin had already strung the crossbow in his left hand, and held the sword tightly in his right hand.
"Hmm!" Coco pointed to the corner about ten meters ahead.
"There's danger over there... Is there a monster waiting for me around the corner?" Xu Xin slowly walked towards the corner, pointing the crossbow in his hand there.
The closer he got, the more a sense of crisis emerged in Xu Xin's heart. This was his own foreknowledge of danger. The mutant rat did not appear when it appeared, perhaps because the mutant rat was too weak.
This means that the thing ambushing him around the corner is at least stronger than the mutant rat.
Xu Xin decided to give it a try. He stopped about seven or eight meters away from the corner, picked up a piece of gravel and threw it towards the corner.
Just as the gravel flew into the corner, a slender, bright red tongue suddenly shot out from the corner and rolled the stone into the corner.
"Ah!" Coco screamed weakly.
"What's going on?" Xu Ye stopped in shock.
Is that... a tongue
Perhaps knowing that it had been discovered, a figure as wide as the passage appeared at the corner. Its fat body squeezed both sides of the passage. Its uneven, pimpled skin made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it, and its pair of red eyes emitted a strange light.
It's a toad!
The most important thing is that its dark green, dusty toad body is covered with blood-red patterns!
Blood-marked Toad! Another mutant creature!
