Walking to the trap that killed the Blood-Marked Wolf, Xu Xin took a look inside and then shifted his gaze.
… kind of gross.
This trap was a bit too cruel. He thought it was the kind of trap that stabbed upwards, but he didn't expect it to stab from all directions, directly turning the blood-marked wolf into a honeycomb.
The passage was very long. By letting the mutant beasts step on the traps, after eight mutant beasts died, Xu Xin finally saw the second door not far away.
Along the way, in addition to the initial spike trap, they also encountered a series of traps such as crossbow traps, high-temperature flamethrower traps, abyss traps, explosion traps, etc. None of the mutant beasts leading the way in front had a good end and all died tragically in the traps.
These traps are not as simple as imagined. The crossbow trap is that the walls and ceiling surrounding the stone brick all shoot out countless crossbow arrows, covering a large area. There is nowhere to hide. Even Chang Yin, who is closest to the fish pond, is affected. Fortunately, those crossbow arrows did not cause any harm to him.
Xu Xin simply put all the crossbow arrows he could pick up along the way into his backpack.
The high-temperature flame-breathing trap spews out fierce flames from the ground, and not only the trap brick, but all the bricks within a 5*5 range around it are spewing fire, making it impossible to dodge. The beast leading the way turned into ashes in an instant.
The abyss trap is like a crack in the ground in a maze. It is extremely dark and deep when you look down. After stepping on the trap brick, the stone bricks in the surrounding 5*5 range disappear directly, and the mutant beast falls into the bottomless abyss with a wail.
The explosive trap was very simple. Not only was the explosion range amazing, but the huge explosion made Xu Xin temporarily deaf. The flames bloomed in front of his eyes, making Xu Xin, who was used to the darkness, unable to see anything. Countless pieces of stone scattered around, like a huge fragmentation grenade thrown in the tunnel. If it weren't for the stone statues in front of him, he might have died directly.
Finally, after going through many hardships, they finally walked out of the area of black and white tiles and were not far from the second door.
"There's no danger anymore. Everyone, don't be so nervous." Chang Yin took back the beast that was leading the way.
"Are you sure? Let the beast lead the way to the door." Xu Xin was very cautious. Those traps were too scary. If he was not careful, he would not even know how he died.
"We have passed that trap road. We can't even step on this ground anymore." Chang Yin stepped on the flat ground and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. I'll lead the way."
As they walked toward the second door, Chang Yin told the story of the second group of survivors who came to the dungeon. Although Chang Yin did not help the second group of survivors, he followed behind and observed them.
He told Xu Xin that there were nearly thirty survivors in total, a large number, but in the end they all died on this trap road.
If a small number of people were willing to sacrifice themselves, then most people could get out of this situation, but human nature meant that no one was willing to sacrifice themselves for others. Not only did they not cooperate, they even started a quarrel. The strongest person in the team forced the weaker people to explore the trap ahead, and the others not only did not stop them, but even fueled the flames.
Finally, after several people died, the last person who was "selected" and forced to explore the path was driven crazy. He ran around like a madman, wanting to die with everyone, and triggered an explosive mechanism in the crowd.
Not to mention the survivors who were hit by the explosion, those survivors who were following behind and were not hit by the explosion were also stabbed to death or injured by the countless fragments produced by the explosion. In the end, this group of survivors were wiped out and all died on this trap road.
Xu Xin was silent. There was no suspense about this result. People are selfish. Unless they are for their loved ones or have a sense of mission in a special profession, most people would not sacrifice their lives for someone they are not related to.
After the story was told, they all came to the second door. Xu Xin pushed it gently from behind and the door slowly opened.
The scene behind the door made Xu Xin stunned. It was still an upward tunnel. The walls and upper walls of the tunnel were all stone, but the ground had turned into soil. Yes, soil. He actually saw soil in this underground city.
"You survivors are truly amazing. What kind of power is this?" Although Chang Yin had seen this many times before, he was still amazed every time. The door that he could not push at all was opened by Xu Xin with just a slight push.
"Not as magical as you. Okay, tell me what's behind the second door. Aren't you stuck in front of the third door?" Xu Xin looked at the soil and activated his identification ability.
He was surprised to find that the soil was not contaminated, but normal soil with good quality.
A green light appeared in his eyes, and there were even a few blue spots.
"Fertile soil!" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched. There was actually fertile soil (blue) here!
Fortunately he brought out the shovel!
"There's something strange behind this door. The last time we came here, we couldn't walk the last section of the road." Chang Yin was a little helpless. "The front was normal, but there were some mutant plants, like vines and carnivorous plants, that came out to attack us. It wasn't a big deal for us, but the last few dozen meters of the road were very strange."
Are there any mutated underground creatures? Xu Xin suddenly thought of something and began to check the map in his mind.
"The last few dozen meters can't be called mutant plants at all, they are called mutant monsters. They are all intermediate mutant creatures, and some are even advanced. You have to know that we can only barely protect ourselves with advanced mutant beasts. It is impossible for us to carry the survivor to the next door." Chang Yin became more and more helpless. "This damn place doesn't want us to get out, right?"
After looking at the map, Xu Xin felt relieved.
He did have a guess as to why the last survivor had such a hard time walking the last few dozen meters.
The area where Xu Xin is now is already outside the three-kilometer range, and more than half of the previous trap roads were outside the three-kilometer range.
If his protection range is the same as others, I'm afraid that powerful underground monsters will come out of the ground as soon as you step on this soil.
The location of the survivor's tree house was different from his, but it was probably similar, both within this range. I'm afraid that the last few dozen meters were outside the protection range of his tree house, so there were so many difficult monsters.
"Let's give it a try first." Xu Xin put on the armor in his backpack, took out his spear, stepped into the door, and stepped on the soil.
This section of road is not very long. At first glance, the gate in front is only more than 200 meters away from Xu Xin.
There are no plants planted on this soil. After all, it is underground and without sunlight, most plants cannot grow at all.
Coco on Xu Xin's shoulder woke up at this time and lay on Xu Xin's shoulder rubbing her eyes.
"嘤!" Suddenly, Coco screamed and poked Xu Xin's face.
Xu Xin knew that this was the cry of danger. He stepped back, and a vine covered with red thorns as thick as his arm emerged from his original position. Xu Xin, who had expected this, stabbed it with his gun, and the tip of the gun pierced through the vine.
The vine pierced by Xu Xin struggled for a moment, then suddenly became brittle and shattered to the ground.
Just like the situation on the ground, anyone who wants to attack someone protected by the tree house, even if they are underground, will pay with their life.
"Yes, that's it. It was the same last time. It was broken into pieces when it came out, but the last few dozen meters were almost impossible to walk." A vine also emerged from under Changyin's feet. He reached out and easily pulled the vine out. With a pull of both hands, the vine was instantly torn into two pieces.
Xu Xin looked at the cheetah following behind him and pointed forward: "You go to the front and deal with these mutant plants."
The mutant cheetah that had been behind him did not refuse when it heard Xu Xin's words. It kicked its legs and quickly rushed to the front, running forward rapidly. Behind it, all kinds of mutated vines and flowers emerged from the soil.
But the cheetah was too fast. When these mutant plants emerged, the cheetah had already run ahead.
"Bing!" Coco was startled by the cheetah's speed.
As the fastest animal, it took it less than ten seconds to reach the door two hundred meters away. Behind it, a row of mutant plants were startled by it and came out from the ground. They couldn't find anyone to attack and could only circle in place.
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Before he could make any move, the cheetah started running back.
These mutated plants began to attack the cheetah, but the cheetah was too fast and its movements were too agile. It easily avoided all the attacks and returned to Xu Xin's side after a dozen seconds.
"Well done!" Xu Xin praised.
The cheetah raised its head somewhat arrogantly, then lay back down behind Xu Xin.
Xu Xin looked forward and found that the plants that attacked the cheetah were now maintaining their attacking postures without moving, just like the copper treasure chest vines that attacked Xu Xin during the jungle exploration activity.
"It turned into onion rings?" Xu Xin took out a crossbow and fired at the nearest mutant plant.
The crossbow arrow shot into the stem of the giant Venus flytrap very accurately. With a snap, the stem as thick as an arm broke directly, and the huge leaves used for catching food fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"Is it... solved? Why aren't there any advanced mutant monsters near the door? This is different from last time?" Chang Yin's voice was filled with surprise and a slightly trembling joy.
Xu Xin reloaded and fired at a vine in the distance, which shattered into pieces.
"Little leopard, go run again." Xu Xin said to the cheetah behind him.
The mutant cheetah was very dissatisfied with being called "little leopard" and cried out, but still followed Xu Xin's instructions and ran back and forth.
This time, only a few mutated plants came out, and they were crushed to pieces by the cheetah's claws on the spot.
"It seems there is no danger. Let's go." Xu Xin smiled. The third level was a piece of cake for him.
“This, this…” The Changyin family looked at each other in confusion, but still followed Xu Xin forward.
Passing by those mutant plants that had become completely brittle, Xu Xin chopped them all up with his iron sword. He still needed to finish them off, in case they came back to life.
Relying on his ability to identify, Xu Xin shoveled out two pieces of fertile soil (blue) in the entire area and put them into his backpack. I didn't expect that there were soil resources in the dungeon. This was a pleasant surprise.
In the end, there was no danger, and Xu Xin and the others walked to the third door.
