Chapter 28 Harvest of other survivors
The direction that the pointer is facing is exactly the direction from which the stream flows, which means that the silver treasure chest is likely to be on the path he took when he came.
"Could it be a black bear cave?"
Xu Xin looked at the compass and fell into deep thought. When he came from the birth point, he actually observed the surroundings carefully. Except for a black bear cave on the way, there didn't seem to be anything special.
Of course, the location of the treasure chest cannot be thought of based on common sense. After all, who could know that the location of the copper treasure chest was in the roots of the vine?
This position is simply the ultimate in hell. If it weren't for his ability, he might have been hit by the attack at this time, and even if he didn't die, he would still be injured.
I'm afraid the location of the silver treasure chest is unusual this time, so I have to be careful.
"Let's go to the black bear cave first. I don't know if there are any bears in the black bear cave now."
The skin of the black bear Xu Xin killed had now turned into a backpack on his back. He opened the map and looked at the black bear cave on the map. There were no red light spots in the cave at this time.
"Maybe this black bear is really the one in the black bear cave." Xu Xin was a little happy. If this is the case, that would be the best.
Last time, he only stabbed a wounded and defenseless black bear to death with the help of the tree house. If he really faced a black bear with a cold weapon, he would only turn into bear dung. If the black bear is not dead, then he can only outwit it.
At this time, Coco was lying on the table, moving the compass pointer with her little paws.
The compass has entered the cooling stage and cannot be used for the next two hours, so the pointer rotates feebly under Coco's thumb, like a slippery clock.
Xu Xin clicked on the regional channel. At this time, the number of people on the channel had dropped below 8,000, with only 7,987 people remaining. He remembered taking a look when he was leaving in the morning. At that time, the number of people on the regional channel was 8,140.
"150 people died so quickly?" Xu Xin was a little shocked. These people may have been killed by monsters carrying treasure chests, and what some people encountered for the first time may not be copper treasure chests, but gold and silver treasure chests. , the monsters guarding those treasure chests may be even more powerful.
Now it seems that the so-called elimination at the end is just a means to get the survivors out of the tree house. The real danger is the monsters guarding the treasure chest.
Xu Xin was cautious, he didn't want to die under the monster's sneak attack.
As a cautious person, without the ability of a map to predict danger in advance, he might have just stayed in the tree house without leaving after having obtained the copper treasure chest.
At this time, someone was already saying the same thing on the regional channel.
"Is anyone here? Is anyone back?"
"I'm back, I'm back, I got a copper treasure chest! As soon as I went out, a snake as thick as a bowl came out of the ground and wrapped itself around me. I almost got strangled to death by it!"
"Ah? Did you encounter a snake? How did you survive?"
"Hey, I'm lucky. The wooden stick in my hand just stuck its mouth. This snake is also strange. It broke into pieces within a few seconds. If I had held on for a few seconds, I might have been killed by it. He was strangled to death. Fortunately, there was a copper treasure box in the hole he drilled out, so he didn’t get strangled in vain. Anyway, this is too dangerous at NIMA, and a copper treasure chest is enough.”
< br>
"You are indeed too dangerous!"
"What about you? Did you get the copper treasure chest?"
"Me? I haven't left yet."
"?Aren't you afraid of death?"
"A leg was bitten off by a wild beast, and I am already waiting for death. Anyway, I will die if I go out. Maybe not many people will find the treasure chest. These bottom 50 people are randomly selected from all the people who returned empty-handed."
"...You are in a good mood." "My condolences, my friend." "Let's wait to die together."
A few words from other people popped up sporadically on the regional channel.
"You don't have to die if you have a bad mentality? You should die happily. By the way, brother, can you tell me what's in your copper treasure box?"
"It's nothing, just one bag of fertilizer and two bags of seeds."
Xu Xin watched their conversation silently.
It seems that although some people did not die in the beast wave, they were seriously injured and basically unable to move. Otherwise, they would not stay there and resign themselves to their fate. This also served as a wake-up call for Xu Xin, who suffered serious injuries. Injury means you will be eliminated from the next event.
And judging from the words of the old man who got the treasure box, it seems that everyone encounters different dangers, but the things in the copper treasure box seem to be similar. I wonder if his seeds are the same as my own. .
Originally, Xu Xin wanted to get some information from the channel, but since the locations of each survivor's treasure chest and the dangers they encountered were different, there was no reference.
In order to prevent herself from missing work due to sleepiness in the afternoon, Xu Xin ate an orange, kept a few of the oranges she picked in the morning in her backpack, put the rest in the tree house, and threw one to Coco.
The little guy had a great time eating.
"Don't drip orange juice on my shoulder."
"嘤!"
Following the stream, Xu Xin walked towards the upstream direction of the water. This is a road he has walked many times. The first time was before planting a tree house. The second time was to pick up pebbles (green) in the creek. He also obtained stones (green) in the black bear cave and walked a back and forth.
In fact, Xu Xin didn't find anything unusual on the road beside the creek during these trips.
The silver treasure chest most likely appeared suddenly like the copper treasure chest.
Moreover, there may be special situations like weeds and shrubs beside the stream, indicating the location of the treasure chest, so Xu Xin paid attention to whether there were any small changes in the surroundings while walking.
Seeing the black bear cave right in front of him, Xu Xin realized that he had been walking with high concentration for a long time and had actually reached the black bear cave. There are no red dots on the map, and at least for now, there are no black bears in the cave.
Black bears are animals that can travel day and night, so Xu Xin cannot know whether the black bear has not returned to the cave at this time, or whether it has been made into a backpack by him, but it is always right to be careful.
Xu Xin's consciousness was fixed on the map, her eyes fixed on the inside of the cave, and she slowly and lightly walked into the cave.
The strange wind sound sounded in Xu Xin's ears again.
There should be a large cave-like space below this cave, and the air flowing inside will make this sound. Perhaps, you can explore the tip of the iceberg of the underground world here.
The idea was wonderful, but Xu Xin searched the entire cave and did not find even a small hole that could connect to another space.
The strange wind sound could be heard everywhere in the cave, but because of the echo in the cave, Xu Xin could not find the place where the sound came from.
Perhaps there really are no caves visible to the naked eye. Do I need to use a manuscript to knock out the hole?
But is this where the silver treasure chest is buried? This rumor had been there since the first day he arrived, but by inferring the location of the copper treasure box, Xu Xin felt that the silver treasure box should be a new change to the surrounding environment, rather than a rumor that had always existed.
Moreover, the treasured red panda Coco on his shoulder didn't react at all at this time, and even snored on his shoulder.
"This little guy is so sleepy!" Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
Consider the sound of the wind as a backup first, and search again along the river. If you can't find it, wait until the compass has cooled down before determining the direction again.
Xu Xin walked out of the black bear cave and continued back to the river and walked upstream. Soon, he triggered the prompt.
[Reminder, don’t leave the tree house for more than three kilometers, otherwise something you don’t want to see will happen. 】
We've reached the border again. (End of chapter)
