Chapter 29 Unexpected Harvest
Although he had reached the border, Xu Xin was not in a hurry to go back.
Of course, he would not risk his life to go out of the three-kilometer boundary, but he was still curious about why he couldn't go out of the three-kilometer range. Is it because the treehouse can only protect them within a three-kilometer radius?
Within three kilometers of the tree house on the map, except for the red dot in the center of the lake, there are no wild beasts at this time. Is this also the tree house's contribution? Or was that mysterious sound caused intentionally?
At this time, he already had a guess in his mind, but it was immature.
He glanced meaningfully at the ground outside the boundary. That was the direction he came from. He had walked over there intact before, but now he could no longer go back.
Before, the novice protection period was protecting him, but now, it was the treehouse that was protecting him.
Don't think so much. Nearly two hours have passed now, and Xu Xin walked back to the black bear cave.
Standing at the door of the black bear cave, Xu Xin used the compass for the second time.
There was another crisp "ding" sound, and the compass pointer gradually pointed in the opposite direction of the black bear cave, pointing to the other side of the creek.
It seems that the treasure chest is on the other side of the creek, and Xu Xin has to cross the creek.
The creek is quite easy to live in. After all, this creek is not deep. Even though this is the downstream of the creek and the water is already very wide, the deepest part of the entire creek is only thirty or forty centimeters deep.
Xu Xin was about to cross the stream, but suddenly stopped.
What if the monster is not on the other side of the creek, but in the creek?
Then if he takes such a step, isn't he going to die? After all, forty centimeters of water is indeed not deep, but it greatly affects people's normal activities and can slow down Xu Xin's speed to a great extent.
"Keke, wake up!" Xu Xin violently rubbed Keke's head, which was lying on his shoulder.
"...嘘嘤!" Keke was very dissatisfied with being woken up by violence and screamed at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin took Coco off his shoulders and held him in his arms, facing the stream: "Feel it, is there any problem in this stream?"
After all, Coco found the treasure chest by following the smell last time. This may be its intuition, but it is indeed very useful.
"Huh?" Coco tilted her head subconsciously. She was still in the dazed state of being just woken up and then pulled out to work.
It jumped down from Xu Xin's arms, came to the water's edge, fished it into the water with its little paws, then turned to Xu Xin and shook its head: "嘤~"
"No?" Xu Xin frowned. Could it be that he was overthinking? Neither Coco nor the map warned of danger, so maybe he really thought wrong.
Unlocking her frown, Xu Xin carried Coco back on her shoulders, took off her shoes, and prepared to cross the stream.
The flow of the stream was very fast and very cold. As soon as Xu Xin stepped in, she felt the biting coldness. Before she even took a few steps, her whole feet were frozen to the point of being numb.
He didn't know why the water in this mountain stream was so cold. The temperature was obviously over 30 degrees.
After taking two steps, Xu Xin stopped.
For some reason, the further he walked, the more he felt panicked. It was basically the same as the sense of crisis that suddenly arose in his heart when the vines were about to emerge from the ground. It was just not as violent as that time, but he felt that there was a danger. Things are getting closer and closer to him.
There's something in the water!
There is indeed something in the water!
Xu Xin chose to trust his intuition. He took big steps and ran back directly. He had not reached the deepest part of the stream yet, so walking back was the fastest way to get back to the shore!
The moment he turned around and ran back, there was a sudden splash of water behind him, as if something came out of the water!
"Hey!" Coco suddenly shouted on his shoulder. The voice was completely different from its usual cute voice, but a hoarse and sharp roar, which seemed to demonstrate to the things behind it.
Xu Xin turned his head slightly and saw what was behind him with his peripheral vision.
When that thing was reflected in his pupils, Xu Xin's pupils locked instantly, and he turned pale with fright, and rushed towards the shore crazily.
A crocodile emerged from the middle of the stream, a crocodile much larger than an ordinary crocodile. Its size reminded Xu Xin of the ancient creatures of the late Cretaceous period, one of the largest crocodiles in history, Deinosuchus!
No, Deinosuchus was not that big! It's a giant Deinosuchus!
The almost twenty-meter-long crocodile was lying at the bottom of the stream along the direction of the stream. When it got up from the bottom of the stream, the water level of the entire stream dropped a lot.
However, there was no red dot on the map that Xu Xin had been paying close attention to!
"Holy shit! You can't see anything on this map, right? What the hell is the creator function? It's a trap!" Xu Xinren ran in front, while Hun chased after him. He ran frantically towards the shore and reached the shore in only four or five steps.
However, what surprised him was that the crocodile didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him, otherwise it would have been almost impossible for Xu Xin to escape just now.
The crocodile's attack speed in the water is very fast. If it bites it and then gives it a death roll, it will probably turn into a pile of minced meat.
The crocodile just looked at him, just like the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, just looking at him quietly.
Like the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, he has a huge monster-like body, as if he is not a creature of this era.
The only difference is that the giant anaconda is a huge, extremely bright red dot on the map, while this crocodile, which is suspected to be Deinosuchus, is not shown on the map.
The last one not shown is the red panda Coco on his shoulder.
He looked at Coco on his shoulder. At this time, Coco was baring his teeth at the Deinosuchus, as if to intimidate the Deinosuchus. But it's of no use, it's just too cute.
The Deinocrocodile in the stream slowly opened its mouth. Just when Xu Xin's face turned ugly and he was about to run for his life, he suddenly saw a bright silver color in the Deinocrocodile's mouth.
Silver treasure chest?
In this crocodile's mouth? !
"...can we still have fun?"
"嘤?"
Deinosuchus flicked his head, and the silver treasure chest was thrown to the shore and fell to the ground with a loud "bang" sound.
The treasure box fell at Xu Xin's feet, and the huge Deinosuchus closed its mouth at this time, glanced at Xu Xin with eyes that were very small compared to his size, and then looked at Xu Xin's alert and puzzled eyes. , slowly sank to the bottom of the water.
The clear water had now become turbid due to the sand and gravel kicked up by the Deinosuchus, but Xu Xin could still see that the Deinosuchus had not left, but was lying at the bottom of the stream again.
It's always been at the bottom of this creek! Perhaps when Xu Xin first passed by here, there was already a Deinosuchus lying here!
After all, this Deinosuchus is as special as Coco. Since Coco is not bound by this world, maybe this crocodile will not either.
The more he thought about it, the more Xu Xin felt a little scared. Although this huge Deinosuchus didn't seem to have any ill intentions toward him, it was a crocodile! The demonic appearance and sharp teeth frightened Xu Xin.
Fortunately, it seems that the crocodile has no ill intentions toward him.
Looking at the silver treasure box at his feet, Xu Xin felt like he was in a dream and got the silver treasure box out of nowhere.
"...The location of this treasure chest is too underworld!!" (End of Chapter)
