Looking closely at the stone statue in front of him, he was dressed in gorgeous and neat clothes, like an elite of the upper class. His body maintained a writing posture, as if the contract just now was written by him.
Xu Xin looked around the room. Apart from the stone statues, wooden tables and wooden chairs, there was nothing else in the room. It was just a closed stone chamber with only one door and no windows.
Apart from the stone statue in front of him that was still emitting green light, there were no other things of any level.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and touched the lifelike stone statue.
Humanoid Stone Statue (Green): A mysterious stone statue that seems to contain a strange life force.
Hearing this introduction, Xu Xin abruptly withdrew his hand.
It contains vitality!
Does that mean that this human stone statue will come to life
"Hmm?" Coco was startled by Xu Xin's sudden action. It turned its head to look at the stone statue, then looked at Xu Xin, and suddenly jumped onto the head of the stone statue, scratched it with its claws, then tilted its head to look at Xu Xin, as if to say, look, there is no danger.
Xu Xin picked it up directly: "Don't move! This thing might come alive!"
"Hmm?" Keke was puzzled. Could this big rock come to life
Xu Xin thought of the broken door bolt.
The bolt was inserted from the inside of the door, but there was only this stone statue inside the door, so who inserted the bolt
The thought was horrifying, he pursed his lips and slowly left the room.
The door bolt had been broken by him, so Xu Xin had no choice but to leave the door ajar.
He just thought that this stone statue was the same prop as the statue in his tree house and could be taken away, but he remembered very clearly that the statue in the tree house was called a human-shaped statue, while this one was called a human-shaped stone statue.
He had just tried to put the thing in his backpack and it didn't work.
Why not? Because it has life force? Because backpacks can’t hold living things? But is this thing really alive
Xu Xin got goose bumps all over his body.
After taking a deep look at the door he closed, Xu Xin continued to walk towards the next door.
Xu Xin walked a few meters along the passage and came to the second door.
This time he didn't kick directly, but raised his foot and placed it on the door, then pushed hard. This would make the noise smaller.
Sure enough, the rotten bolt inside the door was pushed off and the door opened.
Seeing the situation inside the door, Xu Xin frowned.
"Another stone statue?"
There was only one bed in the room, and on the bed, lay a stone statue with its eyes closed. Its seemingly sleeping face was facing the door through which Xu Xin entered.
This is a woman with an oriental face. Even though it is a stone statue, Xu Xin can still feel the beauty of her appearance.
The female stone statue lying on the bed is wearing gorgeous pajamas. Although she is just sleeping on a simple and even somewhat rotten wooden bed, she still gives people a feeling of nobility and elegance. Her temperament is not affected by the dark and dilapidated environment around her.
At this time, next to the pillow of the female stone statue, there was a sparkling ring emitting blue light.
Xu Xin walked gently to the bedside and carefully picked up the ring.
Mutant Beast Ring (Blue): Can hold five tamed low-level mutant beasts. Remember, you can only hold mutant beasts! Don't forget to feed them, otherwise the mutant beasts will starve to death in it.
A ring that can hold mutant beasts like a Poké Ball!
Before Xu Xin came in, he was still thinking that if there was a tool that could hold living things, he would be able to bring the Silver King in. He didn't expect to see this type of tool now.
However, it can only accommodate mutant beasts and has no effect on the Silver King.
Xu Xin reached out and touched the stone statue in front of him.
Humanoid Stone Statue (Green): A mysterious stone statue that seems to contain a strange life force.
The introduction is the same as the previous male stone statue.
Two strange stone statues and two props related to mutant creatures.
What was this underground city like in the past
Why are there some mutant beasts that are not completely contaminated here? Why can we find mutant beast contracts and rings that can hold mutant beasts here
Who is the person who carved words worse than death on the stone table at the entrance of the corridor
Could it be that this was once a testing ground for taming mutant beasts
Xu Xin did not put the ring into his backpack to take up space, but put it directly on his hand.
"If you encounter a mutant beast again later, you can try to subdue it."
There was nothing else in the room, so Xu Xin stepped out and closed the door.
Just as he closed the door, he saw something and suddenly his hair stood on end and he gasped.
"Coco, when we went in just now, the eyes of the stone statue were closed, right?" Xu Xin asked Coco on his shoulder while standing at the door.
"Hmm." Coco nodded her head clearly.
The eyes were closed, but how come he saw the female statue's eyes open just now? !
Is it an illusion
Gritting his teeth, Xu Xin drew out the iron sword from his waist.
All fears come from the unknown, all fears come from insufficient firepower. He didn't want to continue to be so nervous, so he pushed open the wooden door that had just been closed.
The stone woman was still lying on her side on the bed with her eyes closed, looking lazy yet elegant.
"Did I really see it wrong just now?" Xu Xin stared at the stone statue with some suspicion.
The statue's posture and facial expression were exactly the same as when he first entered.
Staring at the expression of the statue, Xu Xin closed the door again. This time, he did not see that the statue's eyes were open.
"Maybe it's hallucinations caused by too much pressure." Xu Xin comforted himself.
He didn't want the stone statue to really come alive.
But he still kept an eye out and kept an eye on the two half-open doors behind him.
Coming to the third door, Xu Xin continued to push the door open.
“…Another stone statue.”
This time, it was a stone statue of a little boy who looked about seven or eight years old.
The room is empty without any furniture. The little boy is holding a small windmill and is running. The windmill in his hand is not a stone statue, but a real red windmill.
The boy looks somewhat similar to the previous stone statue of a man and the stone statue of a woman, and seems to be the child of those two people... This is the setting.
Xu Xin still found it hard to believe that these stone statues were once real living people.
He walked up to the stone statue of the little boy and took the windmill from the boy's hand.
Small windmill (blue): The special airflow and smell generated after rotation will attract the attention of low-level mutant beasts. Perhaps mutant beasts also like to play with windmills
Another item related to mutant beasts.
This seems to be a complete set of tools to attract, contract, and then collect.
However, Xu Xin noticed that the introductions to these three items clearly stated that their targets were "low-level" mutant beasts.
Of course, this may be related to the level of the item, but how low is this low level
Are blood-veined bats that low? Are blood-veined toads that low? Or are the blood-veined rabbits and cats sacrificed at the altar also low-level
After leaving the room, Xu Xin continued walking deeper into the corridor.
The first three rooms are somewhat separated from the other rooms.
Xu Xin walked more than ten meters into the corridor before reaching the door of the fourth room. Although the door of this room was also made of wood, its style and texture were much simpler than those of the previous three rooms.
I pushed the door gently, but it was not locked and was pushed open directly.
