Chapter 26 The truth hidden in the weeds
Because there is a map, Xu Xin will not lose his way, nor will he draw circles in place like ordinary people do in the jungle, so he does not need to leave any marks and walks straight in one direction.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the mysterious voice sounded in his mind again.
[Reminder, don’t leave the tree house for more than three kilometers, otherwise something you don’t want to see will happen. 】
It seems that this is already the edge of the three-kilometer radius. Xu Xin stopped and looked around. At this time, he had already walked out of the resource area. From his perspective, most of the surrounding plants were ordinary plants glowing with white light, with only a few sporadic green lights.
Xu Xin checked the green lights. Unfortunately, they were ordinary green-level resources, which were everywhere in his resource area.
"Hey!" Coco, the little panda lying on his shoulder, suddenly yelled and jumped down from Xu Xin's shoulder.
"What's wrong, Coco? What did you find?" Xu Xin asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
Coco tugged on Xu Xin's trouser leg and motioned for Xu Xin to follow it.
The tree house is at the center of the entire circular range, and Xu Xin is at the easternmost edge of the circle. Coco is leading him toward the southwest.
The little guy must have discovered something. Xu Xin was delighted, this little guy was really his lucky star.
That direction was a direction Xu Xin had never been to before.
The creek flows from west to east. He walked east along the creek to the west of the entire resource area, where he planted a tree house, and then walked eastward through the entire resource area to his current location.
The direction Coco took him to was to the south of the resource area. He had never been there before, and even the map was black. Fortunately, there were no red dots in the darkness, which made Xu Xin feel relieved.
While walking behind Coco, Xu Xin gradually discovered the differences.
The surrounding area was very similar to the place Xu Xin had passed before. It was a poplar forest. Because it was summer, the ground was covered with grass and shrubs, but Xu Xin faintly noticed that the grass and shrubs on the ground seemed to be the same as what he had seen before. There are some subtle differences.
There was always something wrong, but he couldn't notice it right away, which made Xu Xin fall into deep thought.
Coco, who was walking in front, glanced back from time to time, fearing that Xu Xin had not followed and lost her. Seeing that Xu Xin had slowed down due to deep thought, he immediately came over and tugged on his trouser legs.
"Keke, why are you going in this direction?" Xu Xin felt that she would notice it soon.
"Huh?" Coco tilted her head.
It seems that asking is in vain. This little guy is probably just relying on intuition. Xu Xin shook his head helplessly and continued to look at the shrubs and weeds.
"Huh?" Xu Xin seemed to have noticed something. She looked at the weeds and shrubs in front of her and tilted her head to the left and then to the right. Then she suddenly showed an expression of realization and clapped her hands together, "I Got it!”
"Hey!" Coco was startled and jumped up and turned somersaults in the air.
Xu Xin finally understood why he felt that the weeds and shrubs here were slightly different from those he had seen before.
The weeds and shrubs growing naturally anywhere were disorderly and unruly. This was the case in all the places he had passed before. It was like a field that no one had cultivated, overgrown with weeds and very messy.
But the weeds and shrubs here are different. If you look carefully, you will find that they are all slightly tilted in one direction. Although the degree is very small, Xu Xin can still distinguish the difference between chaos and order.
There was no wind in the jungle at this time, so this was not caused by the wind, and if it was the wind, these weeds and shrubs should be swaying, but in fact they were not.
Xu Xin looked up at the poplar trees around him. He was surprised to find that although the trunks and branches of the poplar trees had no sense of direction, each leaf seemed to be slightly facing in one direction, exactly in the same direction as the weeds and shrubs on the ground. same.
There must be something attracting these plants in that direction.
After confirming her inner thoughts, Xu Xin became happy. She took out a large red berry from her backpack and said with a smile: "Come on, Coco, this is a reward for you! I wouldn't have discovered it so quickly without you." This rule.”
When Ke Ke saw the red berry in Xu Xin's hand, she immediately let out a cry and stood up on her hind legs, grabbing Xu Xin's trouser legs again.
After Xu Xin fed the red berry to Coco, its steps became lighter, and it jumped up and down in front of it.
Looking at the little guy in front of her, Xu Xin became a little relaxed, smiled and shook her head.
The further she walked, the more Xu Xin could feel the slope of the weeds and shrubs on the ground. At this time, she could already feel that the surrounding weeds and shrubs were no longer facing one direction, but a point.
He knew it was coming soon. But there were no red dots on his map, and there were no high-level colors in his sight, just large expanses of white and scattered green.
Coco, who was walking in front, also slowed down at this time. It seemed to be hesitating whether to move forward, as if it would encounter danger ahead.
"Keke, come back." Xu Xin didn't let Coco lead the way. He didn't know what he would encounter ahead, and he didn't want anything to happen to his treasured red panda.
After hearing this, Coco jumped back onto Xu Xin's shoulder, lying down obediently, with her big tail wrapped around the back of her neck and resting on his other shoulder, her eyes fixed on the front.
The direction of the weeds and shrubs on the ground became more and more obvious, and Xu Xin gradually became a little excited.
This is a treasure chest! Who can say no to a treasure chest?
Xu Xin was walking forward quickly. Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose in his heart, causing the muscles in the corners of his eyes to twitch.
In his mind, a red dot slowly lit up at his location on the map.
"No!" Xu Xin immediately pushed the tree next to her with both hands, forced her direction to turn, and quickly fell to one side.
The moment Xu Xin threw himself to the side, the ground suddenly cracked under his feet and in front of him in the direction he had just moved forward, and countless sharp vines emerged from it, piercing straight upward!
Each vine is as thick as an arm, and there are faint red threads flowing on the dark green vines, which looks extremely weird.
"嘘嘘嘤!...嘤?" Coco fell to the ground because of Xu Xin's actions, and was about to complain when he saw the vines that suddenly appeared in front of him, and stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes.
Those weird vines came out of the ground and became entangled in the air, as if they turned into a huge drill, turning around and rushing towards Xu Xin's position.
"Fuck!" Xu Xin couldn't help but swore, and rolled again, narrowly avoiding the second attack of the vines that emerged from the ground.
With a "bang", the tangled vines turned into drills and dug into the ground beside him. Countless stones flew and hit Xu Xin's arms and cheeks, causing pain.
Fortunately, after the vine stuck to the ground, it seemed that it had exhausted all its strength and stopped moving. (End of chapter)
