The group of bats hanging upside down did not become agitated as Xu Xin had imagined. Instead, they shrank their bodies collectively, and all the bats were wrapped tighter and smaller by their wings.
… The power of this broom is so obvious!
As Xu Xin walked upwards, the closer he got, the tighter the bats curled up, and some even began to tremble.
Until Xu Xin completely passed this section of road full of bats, the group of blood-marked bats did not show any intention of attacking him.
Really nice! I think it can be hung at the door to ward off evil spirits.
After passing the bat area, Xu Xin looked at the extremely long staircase. He rolled his eyes and for a moment wanted to give up and turn back. This passage was as long as climbing a mountain.
But Xu Xin had clearly marked the way back in the maze. If this road was still passable, then it would be easy for him to go back.
He did not want to give up this possibility, and also to verify what Chang Yin and Xue Lan said, he finally stepped forward.
Fortunately, there was Xing who could restore my physical strength, so I didn't consume too much energy climbing the stairs.
"Keke, get down and walk by yourself!" Xu Xin rubbed Keke's head. The little guy weighed no more than five kilograms, but Xu Xin still had to save his energy. There were quite a few things in his backpack, and he was worried about leaving them downstairs.
"嘤!" Coco was a little dissatisfied, but still obediently got down from Xu Xin's shoulder.
The stairs were still very slippery, and there was the sound of dripping water all around. Xu Xin climbed up step by step. Coco did the same as before, running up dozens of stairs first, then turning her head to look at Xu Xin, waiting for him to catch up, and then running up dozens of stairs again.
Under the effect of Xing (Blue), Xu Xin felt that his physical strength was consumed very slowly, basically negligible. After about half an hour, he finally arrived at the entrance, in front of the door emitting copper light.
The door was closed, unchanged from before he went down.
Xu Xin pushed the door hard, but it didn't move at all. He looked around and found no mechanism to open the door. He used his spear and iron sword to attack the door, but there was no trace left.
Coco ran back and forth in front of the door but didn't find anything valuable.
"It seems that this is indeed a dead end." Xu Xin sighed and leaned against the closed door.
It was a wasted trip.
Suddenly, Xu Xin's mechanical watch vibrated.
"Hmm? Can I use the tree house watch here?" Xu Xin quickly raised his left hand.
The mechanical watch was vibrating constantly at this time, instantly sending all the information of the day.
Li Wenxi and Ji Chaoyang both sent him private messages.
Ji Chaoyang only sent him messages twice, two hours apart.
"Xu Xin, I'm in the underground city. How are you doing?"
"Can't receive the information?"
Li Wenxi sent more than ten messages.
"I found the entrance! Your method really works!"
"This corridor is so long and so slippery. Did you encounter anything over there?"
"There are so many boxes in my dungeon. They are all resources left by the survivors!"
"Xu Xin, are you still there?"
"Where are the people? Nothing happened to them, right?"
"There are mutant beasts in the dungeon. Xu Xin, are you still alive?"
"Your name isn't even gray yet, you must be alive!"
"Can't get the message?"
At the same time, the explorer group was full of call records.
Xu Xin frowned.
They were not forbidden to use watches to communicate in the dungeon. Was he the only one who was special
He looked through the contents of the explorer group. Everyone was exchanging information with each other. It only took Xu Xin a few minutes to sort out their information, and his doubts deepened.
These people did not encounter swarms of bats in the underground city's passages. Their passages were slippery and damp, without any other dangers. The underground city they entered also did not have strange stone statues or various props related to mutant beasts.
But there are a lot of high-level resources in the boxes in the dungeon, even more than what Xu Xin discovered.
The only similarity is that there are also many mutant beasts in the dungeon they are in. These mutant beasts will hide in some rooms and attack once the door is opened.
In other words, an ordinary treasure chest room and trap room.
"It seems that this dungeon I'm in has become more special than other dungeons because of the Changyin family."
Xu Xin replied to Li Wenxi, who had sent him many private messages, "I'm fine, don't worry," and then sent a message in the Explorer to ask, "Have you found a way out?"
There was an immediate reply in the group.
Wang Lei: "Fuck! It's Boss Xu! Boss Xu finally spoke!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Boss Xu, you haven't spoken for such a long time, we all thought something happened to you!"
Wen Guixin: "So you are okay."
Li Wenxi: "!!! You finally made a move! I thought you..."
Qin Yunlong: "Finally he spoke."
Xu Xin didn't expect that his words would blow up so many people, but he was too lazy to explain, so he could only reply: "I don't know why there was no signal in my dungeon before, and it has only been restored now."
Xu Xin did not intend to tell these people what he had encountered. It was meaningless and a waste of time, and he also had to retain some strength.
"Isn't Mr. Xu's watch purple-level? The signal is even worse than ours. That's too bad."
"How could it be worse? Boss Xu's dungeon must be more advanced. He must have found a lot of resources!"
Xu Xin didn't expect that this group of people would actually start chatting. He helplessly sent a message: "Are you guys so free? Have you already left the underground city?"
Wang Lei: "Yes, I'm already out and walking towards the tree house now."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I'm almost there. I can already see the exit on the ground."
Wen Guixin: "You are all too slow. I have already returned to the tree house. I don't know what they were thinking about this activity. They gave two days for something so simple."
Qin Yunlong: "That's not true. It would take a lot of time for others to find the entrance to the dungeon. If it weren't for Xu Xin's method, how could we get out of the maze and find the entrance to the dungeon so quickly?"
This... They actually got out of the underground city
"Did you go out along the corridor?"
"Yes, there are some traps and mutant beasts in the corridor, but they are too easy for us."
"I rushed straight ahead. Although these mutant beasts are a little stronger than ordinary beasts, they are all small and really weak. The mutant rat is just a big rat. But the points given are really a lot."
The group was in a mess, so Xu Xin sent a message directly to Li Wenxi: "Are you out too?"
Li Wenxi replied quickly: "Yes, I'm already walking towards the tree house. You really scared me. You didn't talk for such a long time, and it turned out that it was because of the bad signal."
Xu Xin made a voice call.
"Can you tell me about your journey out?" Xu Xin asked.
"You... are... talking... Why... The signal... is... bad..." The voice from the other end was stuttering. Xu Xin changed several positions and found that the signal would be better only when he put the watch close to the door.
"Are you still underground? I really believe that you have no signal this time." Li Wenxi's voice became fluent.
"I encountered some small trouble here. Can you tell me about the process of your getting out?" Xu Xin asked again.
"No problem!"
Then, Li Wenxi told Xu Xin the whole process from entering the underground city to returning to the ground.
As Xu Xin guessed, Li Wenxi walked all the way to the underground city along the staircase and did not encounter any danger. Her underground city also had a long corridor with dozens of wooden doors. In each door, there was a treasure, a trap, or a mutant beast.
But she was not hurt by the simple traps and mutant beasts in her blue armor, and she got all the resources relatively easily. After exploring all the doors, she walked along the deep corridors and encountered many traps and beasts, but she resolved them one by one. The corridor went up all the way and led directly to the ground.
Xu Xin didn't expect their dungeon to be so simple. Of course, this simplicity was only for them.
The mechanisms that Li Wenxi encountered included crossbow arrows that shot out suddenly, spike traps, walls that spewed fire, and even a rolling stone that was almost as wide as the passage. For an ordinary person, one careless mistake could result in death.
"You are quite skilled. You didn't even get hurt with so many traps?" Xu Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Hehe, luck, luck. How is it over there? Is it different from mine?"
"Well, it's a little different. I'll tell you when I get out."
"Oh, ok, come on!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin leaned against the metal door and thought.
The trap on his side was probably not as simple as the one Li Wenxi had experienced. If it was that simple, the survivor twelve years ago would not have stayed here until his death without being able to leave.
Xu Xin sent another message to Ji Chaoyang, asking about his situation.
After waiting for several minutes, Ji Chaoyang did not reply to him. He did not speak in the group just now. But he participated in the discussion in the group before, which means that he has a signal in the dungeon and can communicate.
Maybe he encountered something and is dealing with it.
Xu Xin didn't plan to continue wasting time in this place.
After finally pushing the door hard and still failing, Xu Xin left the metal door and walked down the stairs.
When passing by a group of bats, Xu Xin picked out the largest bat, crushed the mutant beast contract in his hand, and very easily signed a contract with the blood-marked bat that was already trembling with fear.
The contracted blood-marked bat was no longer afraid of the broom in Xu Xin's hand. It flew down and grabbed the leather armor on Xu Xin's shoulders with its two claws.
"Ah!" Coco felt that her territory was invaded, and immediately climbed onto Xu Xin's other shoulder and began to bar her teeth at the blood-marked bat, waving her little claws.
In the end, it was Xu Xin who touched the bat with the hand wearing the ring and put the confused bat into the ring, thus ending the farce.
This bat can fly, so it can be used to explore places that it cannot reach. Later, I will contract a few beasts that walk on the ground and let them explore the way. Anyway, Changyin can make contracts, so I will ask him to make a few more after I go out.
If you can't get out, there's no point keeping it, so you might as well use it directly.
