Chapter 35 Reflection
"Hey!" Ke Ke jumped into Xu Xin's arms, and her furry head burrowed into his arms.
"Okay, okay, it's okay." Xu Xin touched Coco's head, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.
Recalling what she had just experienced, Xu Xin was still scared. Even if there was just one mistake, he would have left this world now.
The small yellow flowers on the ground began to wither quickly. Soon, the sea of flowers that was originally full of yellow flowers turned into a barren dry land. Not even weeds grew. There was really no grass growing.
Xu Xin sat on the ground, put Coco on his lap, and put the top around his face back on.
"Sure enough, am I still mentally affected?" While calming down, Xu Xin thought about everything just now.
He had put his shirt around his face before, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
If his mind had not been affected, he would not have entered this strange sea of flowers so recklessly in the first place, even if there was the golden treasure chest he had been looking for in the middle of the sea of flowers. But he only paused for a moment, and without much thought, he entered this dangerous area directly.
When he walked to the treasure chest, if he were a normal person, he would have put the gold treasure chest into his backpack and quickly moved away from this strange sea of flowers, and then opened it in another place, instead of taking out the key and opening it as he did just now. Just wanted to open it.
The most obvious one is of course the fake treasure chest, he actually saw a broken rock as a treasure chest! This must be a hallucination caused by inhaling too much floral scent.
He glanced at Coco, whose head was still buried in his arms, and smiled. If it weren't for this little guy, he would really be here today. He took out an orange from his backpack and stuffed it into Coco's arms.
"Hey!" Coco immediately hugged the orange happily and started eating it.
The little guy didn't seem to be affected by the fragrance of flowers, so Coco's two suspicious cries made him suspicious. The first time was when he was talking about the golden treasure chest, and the second time was when he took out the golden key.
Those two confused cries made Xu Xin realize that what he and Coco saw in their eyes were different. Coco didn't seem to see the gold treasure box. So when he looked at the treasure box again, he began to observe it carefully.
Before coming, Xu Xin had seen a copper treasure box and a silver treasure box side by side in his tree house. The patterns on the two treasure boxes pieced together the body of a unicorn-like beast, so he deduced at that time that the gold treasure box was What is printed on it should be the head of this beast.
But the patterns on the fake gold treasure chest are messy.
Although he was not sure whether the pattern on the treasure box was true or false, he would rather believe it or not, so he directly picked up the stone spear and pointed it at the fake treasure box. Unexpectedly, the illusion was really broken. .
If he hadn't discovered the fact and really used the key to open the fake treasure box, perhaps the process of the rocks breaking apart would have been hidden in the illusion of the treasure box being opened. Xu Xin would not have had time to run or even react. Swallowed by a piranha.
What happened next, he tried his best and finally saved his life.
The danger level of the piranha this time was much more dangerous than the previous beast tide and vines, which made Xu Xin deeply feel his own weakness. If it weren't for Coco's help and a series of coincidences, he would really be killed this time. This man-eating flower that can influence people's minds is dragged step by step into the abyss of hell without even realizing it.
These weird creatures are really terrifying, much scarier than those wild beasts!
Fortunately, these things don't seem to be able to move within a three-kilometer radius of the treehouse for too long. The previous vines only attacked him twice and died. This time, although the piranha persisted for a while, it still did not escape and became Simply the fate of specimens.
After sitting and resting for a while, Xu Xin, who had calmed down, stood up, picked up the stone spear that had just been thrown on the ground, and began to clean up the dry and brittle residue of the surrounding piranhas.
This flower is so weird, it must be a monster guarding the gold treasure chest. Maybe the gold treasure chest is hidden in the body of the piranha flower just like the copper treasure chest before.
As a result, Xu Xin poked all over the remains of the piranha, but couldn't find what he was looking for inside.
"Is it possible that the treasure chest this time is not inside the monster?"
Sweeping the debris aside, the hole formed by the cracking of the rock appeared in front of him.
It was pitch black inside the cave. But this is not difficult for Xu Xin, because he has the ability to see at night after eating red berries, and no matter how dark the environment is, it is like daylight to him.
The entrance to the cave was wide enough for one person to pass through. There was not a golden treasure box hidden inside the cave as he imagined, but an underground cave with a height of just over two meters. From Xu Xin's perspective, he could not see what was deep in the cave.
The hole that was opened by the piranha flower opened up the ground vertically downwards. It was obvious that the huge piranha flower came out from deeper underground, or maybe it just happened to pass by this underground cave.
"What kind of place is this? Is the gold treasure box in it?" Xu Xin fell into deep thought.
"Hey!" Coco pulled Xu Xin's clothes in Xu Xin's arms, pointed to the cave with her paws, and then drew a rectangle for him with two paws.
"You mean, the treasure chest is down there?"
"Hey!" Coco nodded and rubbed Xu Xin's arm with her big tail.
"How did you know?" Xu Xin was still curious about the magic of Coco.
"Huh?" Coco tilted her head.
Forget it, it can't be explained.
"But..." Xu Xin frowned.
The space below is so small that the width of the cave can only allow one person to pass through. If you encounter danger, such as some vines coming out, there is no place to hide in such a small space, and there is basically no possibility of escape.
If the golden treasure chest was in this cave, Xu Xin wanted to give up.
He has obtained the silver treasure chest, at least he will definitely not be eliminated at the end.
"Hey!" It was obvious that Xu Xin was hesitant, and immediately jumped out of his arms, grabbing his trouser legs and trying to take him down.
Xu Xin's heart moved and she asked: "Keke, is there no danger down there?"
Coco nodded her little head.
After receiving Keke's affirmative answer, Xu Xin's inner fear of the unknown in this cave was much lessened.
He took a look at the cave, thought for a moment, and decided to go down and look for the gold treasure chest.
At least so far, Coco's perception of danger has been very accurate. Whether it was the first copper treasure chest or the piranha this time, Coco had similar warnings before the monster came out, and when the monster that would not hurt him Deinosuchus didn't notice it before.
At present, the accuracy of risk prediction is 100%.
So Xu Xin decided to believe it once.
After all, even Xu Xin would feel unwilling to go back empty-handed after experiencing such a dangerous thing and narrowly escaping death.
But before that, Xu Xin had to expand the hole a little bit. If something really happened, it would be too difficult to climb out of this small hole.
Xu Xin took out his blue grade stone shovel from his backpack and started working.
Within ten minutes, Xu Xin widened the straight up and down hole into a slope that could be walked down directly.
"Perfect, so if anything happens inside, you can run up directly." Xu Xin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and put the stone shovel back into his backpack. (End of chapter)
