Xu Xin's heart was beating violently and he was breathing heavily.
Gradually, the headache eased a lot. After realizing that he had escaped, he couldn't help laughing. He pulled Coco, who had jumped down and was looking at him worriedly beside him, over and started jerking her hard.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Coco protested but to no avail. She could only be stroked by Xu Xin until her hair became a mess.
"This mechanism is too insidious!" Xu Xin is still frightened. The entire passage was filled with swarms of black bats rushing towards him. The scene was enough to give him nightmares every night.
What's more, the most terrifying thing about these bats is the viruses they carry. Just a few scratches on his body could be fatal. This is what he fears the most.
Fortunately, these blood-marked bats cannot pass through this door.
Xu Xin looked at everything inside the door.
The scene before my eyes now fits the definition of a "dungeon".
At this moment, he was in a stone room the size of a living room. There were burning torches stuck on the uneven stone walls, which must have just been burned together with the candlesticks.
The air was filled with a musty and rotten smell. On the wall directly in front of me was a corridor. Going straight ahead, as far as the eye could see, I could see a rotten wooden door every few meters on both sides of the corridor.
The corridor is very long and I don’t know how many doors like this there are.
It seems that the treasure should be behind these doors.
The door behind him no longer made the banging noise so frequently. Perhaps the group of bats realized that they could not break down the door, so they gradually left.
"I don't know if there is another way out. I don't want to take this road again." Xu Xin shook his head and stood up.
There was no rush to explore, he still needed to decompose the bat's body to see if there was anything good to be found.
Holding a boning knife, Xu Xin tortured the three blood-marked bats to death.
Obtain mutant bat skin (green)*3, mutant bat meat (green)*2.5kg
There isn't even a single blue-grade supply, it's worse than a mouse!
The mutant rat is worth 20 points, while the mutant bat is worth only 10 points.
The blood patterns on these bats are very light, and only the inside of their wings are brightly colored. It seems that these bats are one level lower than the mice and toads we encountered before among the mutant creatures.
Mutated bat meat (green): A special delicacy that can be eaten, but be careful of infection with the virus, so make sure to cook it thoroughly!
Oh boy, bat meat!
Xu Xin didn't dare to eat this thing. Although it might be not much different from other wild animal meat after being cooked, it would be terrible if there was a virus that was resistant to high temperatures.
Adhering to the principle that they might be useful, Xu Xin collected these materials.
Xu Xin decided to share and discuss the situation here with all the explorers.
But when he swiped his watch, his mechanical watch did not pop up the familiar small projection. Instead, there was no response at all. Only the pointer on it was slowly turning to show the current time.
"… This watch is useless in the dungeon?" Xu Xin wanted to curse. What does this mean, out of signal range
In the end, he still has to rely on himself to explore.
There is no choice but to take action.
Xu Xin began to look around the stone chamber he was in. Except for the torches still burning on the walls, everything here looked old and dilapidated.
There was a stone table next to the entrance of the corridor in front. Xu Xin walked forward and found some crooked words carved on the table.
This... is Chinese characters!
Xu Xin used the sleeve of his leather armor to sweep away the stains on the table, and the engraved words appeared completely before his eyes.
The handwriting was ugly, just like what a child who had just learned to read drew with a brush. Xu Xin looked at it carefully and relied on his own association to find two relatively coherent sentences from the numerous words.
"Devils, they are all demons?" Xu Xin muttered to himself, "Kill me, I want to die? And this sentence, you must die?"
These strange and crooked carvings reveal a deep hatred between the lines.
"These words were carved by someone who was in a desperate situation?" Xu Xin swallowed his saliva and felt a little panicked. "What on earth did the person who carved these words experience here?"
He turned his head and looked at the dark passage next to him that seemed to have no end. Although there were torches in the stone room he was in, there were no torches in this passage, and it was completely dark. If Xu Xin did not have the ability of night vision now, he would not be able to see what was inside.
The tree house can make torches, but the torches can only illuminate a few meters at most. Combined with the writing on the table, this passage looks extremely eerie and terrifying.
"Coco, do you see those doors?" Xu Xin asked, pointing at the rotten wooden doors in the passage.
Keke was scratching the carved marks on the stone table with his claws. When he heard Xu Xin's words, he raised his head and looked into the passage: "Hmm?"
"Can you sense the danger inside the door?"
Coco jumped down from the table and came to the entrance of the passage. She stretched her head to look inside for a few times, then shook her head: "Hmm."
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He still believed in the little guy's premonition, which helped him a lot on the way in. But despite this, he couldn't take it lightly.
Xu Xin carried Coco onto his shoulders, holding the stone sword, and stepped into the passage.
The nearest rotten wooden door was just a few meters away from him. Xu Xin came to the door and stretched out his hand to gently push it.
…and there was no push, the door seemed to be locked.
"Ying!" Keke suddenly cried out, and Xu Xin could tell that it was not a cry of danger, but...
"Is there a treasure?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
Without rushing to open the door, he walked forward a little further and observed several doors, only to find that they were all locked.
There was no other way but to break the door violently and hope that the noise wouldn't attract anything strange.
Returning to the first door, there was no lock on the door that could be broken. Xu Xin could only raise his foot and kick the rotten wooden door.
With a "bang", he kicked the door open. An unpleasant musty smell came out from inside the door, and two pieces of broken rotten wood fell to the ground.
The door was fastened from the inside with a wooden latch.
Xu Xin looked inside the door and his eyelids twitched.
In this first room, there was only a table, a chair, and a stone human-shaped statue sitting on the chair.
"What does it mean? Why is there a stone statue sitting on a chair?" Xu Xin looked at the stone statue with some caution.
Under his ability to identify, the stone statue exudes green light, representing that it is a green object. The stone statue is a male oriental face, carved very vividly, and looks like he is writing, but there is no pen in his hand.
It felt like... like a real person was turned into stone without any reaction while writing.
He wouldn't come alive like the altar stone sculpture before!
Xu Xin noticed that although there was no pen in the right hand of the stone statue, its left hand was holding something like three pieces of paper. And those two pieces of paper also emitted green light.
He walked forward and gently pulled the three pieces of paper out of the statue's hand.
Mutant Beast Contract (Green): You can contract a low-level mutant beast and make it obey your orders.
It is a contract that can mutate wild beasts!
Is this the treasure of this dungeon
Although mutated beasts are not necessarily stronger than ordinary beasts, like the rats, toads, and bats he met here, they are probably weaker than the wolf king who is his mount, but they have special abilities that ordinary beasts do not have.
Xu Xin couldn't tell what special abilities the mutant rat had, but he clearly noticed the mutant toads and bats.
The toad's tongue can intercept flying objects, even a crossbow close to purple can be easily intercepted by it. The calls of the mutant bats were mixed with ultrasonic waves, and the calls of a group of bats made Xu Xin, who was still in the state of mental power buff, feel like his head was about to explode.
Not to mention the two in the altar, they even have very obvious changes in their bodies.
These mutated beasts may not be very powerful, but they can play unexpected roles in some aspects.
but…
Xu Xin looked at the human-shaped stone statue.
Looking at the situation before us, why does it look like this stone statue wrote the contract
