Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 90: Emergency

Inside this door, which looked completely different from the other doors, was a small space like a storage room, but the things inside made Xu Xin's eyelids twitch.

The facilities in the house seemed very complete, with wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds, and a wooden cabinet. The door of the wooden cabinet was closed tightly, and I didn't know what was inside.

Of course, these are not the most attractive things for Xu Xin, because in the corner of the room, there is a metal facility that looks like a workbench. The table top is round, and the whole facility is shaped like an hourglass.

The most special thing about this facility is that there is a small screen standing upright on the bottom of the table.

Xu Xinke is very familiar with this type of workbench.

"... A workbench for making a tree house?" Xu Xin didn't expect to see a tree house workbench here.

Whether it is a synthesis table or a weapon and armor manufacturing table, there is a small vertical screen on the table for him to view the production list, which is basically exactly the same as the workbench in front of him.

There were no stone statues or mutant beasts in the house. Xu Xin walked into the house gently, came to the workbench he had never seen before, and reached out to touch it.

Mutation Potion Synthesis Table (Blue): Can be used to synthesize potions that mutate beasts.

"Is this true?" Xu Xin actually found a tool that can transform wild beasts into mutated beasts!

He immediately clicked on the small screen and a familiar picture appeared, but there was only one production project on the entire synthesis platform.

Mutation Potion (Blue): A potion that can make a beast 100% turn into a low-level mutant beast. Requires 5kg of contaminated mutant beast meat and 1 glass bottle.

Using contaminated mutant beast meat, you can synthesize a potion that can mutate the beast 100%!

This contaminated mutant beast meat does not refer to the meat of bats and rats outside. Xu Xin has only obtained this kind of meat from the blood-marked rabbits and blood-marked cats he killed before.

This kind of meat is extremely attractive to wild animals, but it is very poisonous. Wild animals that eat this meat are very likely to be poisoned to death, and there is only a very small chance of mutation.

However, this synthesis platform made the possibility of this mutation 100%! Although it was only a low-level mutant beast, it made the ability of contaminated meat from uncontrollable to controllable. He could use this ability to create mutant beasts and cooperate with the contract to work for him!

Good stuff! It was this glass bottle, which he had never seen before. Glass was made from sand, but he had never seen any tools that could make glass.

Wait, a furnace! Maybe a furnace can make glass. He'll try it when he gets back.

Xu Xin turned his head and looked at the closed wooden cabinet. In the cabinet next to the synthesis table, could it be...

Xu Xin habitually turned sideways and opened the wooden cabinet.

“Whoosh!”

"oh!"

"Bing!"

Three crossbow arrows shot out from the open wooden cabinet and flew past Xu Xin. With a neat "click" sound, the iron crossbow arrow heads all embedded into the stone wall behind!

Xu Xin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

There is actually a mechanism here!

Fortunately, he was cautious and subconsciously pulled the cabinet door sideways, otherwise the crossbow arrow would have hit it head-on! There were no traps in front, only here. If he hadn't been so cautious every time, he would have been caught here.

"Coco, why didn't you notice the danger this time?" Xu Xin rubbed Coco's little head.

"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head and shook it.

It seems that the little guy can only sense dangers related to living things, and it cannot detect abnormalities in pure mechanisms like this. When Xu Xin almost fell into the maze before, Keke didn't notice it, but when mice and toads appeared, it could always sense danger in advance.

Looking inside the wooden cabinet, the cabinet has three layers. In the middle of each layer is a crossbow fixed to the cabinet. The trigger of the crossbow is connected to the cabinet door with a thin wire. As long as the cabinet door is pulled a certain distance, the thin wire will pull the trigger. The three crossbow arrows were shot out in this way.

It is a very simple mechanism, not a professional trap. It looks more like it was set up by a survivor.

However, Xu Xin's attention was soon attracted by the resources in the three-layer cabinet.

"Is this... a mutation potion?"

On each layer of the cabinet, there were two bottles of light red medicine, which were contained in glass conical bottles and the bottle mouths were plugged with ground stoppers.

Xu Xin reached out and took down a bottle of medicine.

Mutation Potion (Blue): A potion that can make a beast 100% likely to become a low-level mutant beast.

Sure enough, it was a mutation potion. There were six bottles of mutation potion in this cabinet.

Xu Xin immediately put the six bottles of potions into his backpack, and also put the three green-level crossbows into his backpack. Then he came to the mutation potion synthesis table and wanted to put the synthesis table into his backpack as well.

Although it is unknown what type of metal the synthesis table is made of, it is relatively small in size, so it is not heavy. Putting it in the backpack does not affect Xu Xin's movements at all.

But the moment he lifted the synthesis table off the ground and put it into his backpack, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.

He looked at the original location of the synthesis platform, where there was a protruding stone, which seemed to have been pressed down.

"... No way, has some mechanism been triggered again?" Xu Xin's eyes twitched.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Coco, who was already a little drowsy, suddenly cried out hurriedly, jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder, walked to the door and looked towards the corridor.

Xu Xin also leaned forward and looked outside.

The ground was shaking more and more, just like in the staircase passage before.

“Those mutated beasts and humans won’t be awakened and come back to life... Huh?” Xu Xin stared at the end of the passage with wide eyes.

There was the first door he had opened, the room with the male stone statue writing.

At this moment, under Xu Xin's gaze, the male stone statue actually walked out of the door!

That’s right, the stone statue came out!

Really alive!

Apart from his body being made of grey stone, his movements do not reveal him to be a stiff stone statue at all. Instead, he moves just like any other human being, naturally and smoothly.

The male stone statue turned its head and looked in the direction of Xu Xin.

Xu Xin's pupils shrank, and before he could react, the second door opened, and the elegant female stone statue walked out of the room. She glanced at the male stone statue, then turned to look in Xu Xin's direction.

"Stone... gargoyle!" Xu Xin blurted out.

The two stone statues were emitting a blue light in his sight. The humanoid stone statue (green) that was previously green grade had turned blue grade after being awakened!

It was obvious that his ability to identify could not be used on living beings. He could only use the size of the red dots on the map to infer the strength of the beasts and monsters, but these two movable stone statues actually emitted light representing their grade.

What on earth are these two stone statues!

Coco had climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulders again and was grinning at the gargoyle in the distance.

But the two gargoyles did not rush back to chase him as Xu Xin had imagined. The two stone statues looked at each other and slowly walked towards Xu Xin.

Xu Xin took out a crossbow and was about to shoot at the two gargoyles in front of him.

"Don't do it, we have no ill intentions."

In the corridor, even though he was far away, Xu Xin could still clearly hear the voice of the female stone statue. The voice was gentle and soft, like a warm current, which actually eased Xu Xin's nervous mood.

Hmm? This gargoyle can actually talk and communicate!
