Chapter 69 Giant Monster
It's not even seven in the morning, so Xu Xin is in no hurry to go out.
Although he had already eaten breakfast, he still had to eat the koi he just got first. The functions of the grill (blue) and dining table (blue) can further enhance the effect of the koi.
After eating koi, Xu Xin didn't feel any changes in her body like she did after eating the strength-enhancing bear paws. Things like luck are inherently illusory.
After being fully armed, Xu Xin was ready to go out.
Today's task is very simple, hunt wild cats, obtain enough sacrificial materials to sacrifice to the altar, summon mutant wild cats and kill them, and obtain points and high-level materials. The points of a mutated monster were enough for him to hunt with all his strength for a whole day.
The risk is a bit higher, but with Ji Chaoyang's experience, as long as what he says is true, Xu Xin is sure to minimize the loss.
Before leaving, Xu Xin first replenished the heavy crossbow arrows to five, loaded them in, and turned on the automatic mode, so that there might be surprises when he comes back today.
Riding the Wolf King, Xu Xin specially picked wild cats to kill. The red spots of wild cats are brighter than rabbits, darker than wolves, and similar to venomous snakes, so they are relatively easy to distinguish.
The enhanced crossbow can kill wild cats quickly and silently. The crossbow arrow's huge power can even drive the wild cat's body directly into the tree, or directly penetrate the body.
Xu Xin had just cut off the two claws of the wild cat, and Coco on his shoulder suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin became vigilant. Usually Coco discovered danger like this.
"Hey!" Coco pointed one little paw in the direction of the altar, and the other little paw pulled Xu Xin's clothes, and then shook her head desperately.
"Are you saying that there is danger at the altar and I should not go there?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
"Hey!" Coco nodded.
Xu Xin looked at the map and saw that there was no bright red dot in the direction of the altar.
"But..." Xu Xin hesitated and asked, "Is it more dangerous than the blood-striped rabbit yesterday?"
"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head with certainty.
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
That altar was very special, and he knew there would be danger, but the points and materials given by the mutant monster were too tempting, and he didn't want to give up just because of the danger.
"Let's go to the hills to observe first and see what the situation is."
Xu Xin threw the body of the wild cat that had lost its two front paws into the backpack, and did not intend to continue hunting. She rode the Silver King and rushed towards the resource area.
Silver King ran at full speed, and this distance only took a few minutes. Looking at the steep hills, Xu Xin got off the Silver King and climbed up the hills by himself.
Coco on the shoulder had been a little restless, and at this time, the Silver King was also a little restless, obviously because of fear.
"What's going on?"
Xu Xin climbed up hard and finally reached the top of the hill.
Standing firm, Xu Xin looked in the direction of the altar.
What caught his eye made his eyes widen instantly.
"What is that!? A giant goblin?"
The entire jungle resource area is surrounded by hills, lakes, altars, and the surrounding scenery are no different from the previous day.
But near the altar, a huge humanoid monster covered in green skin stood there. The tallest poplar tree around was less than its waist, and its huge body was exposed above the forest, making it extremely dazzling.
Its green skin is covered with blood-red patterns, its head is bald, its eye sockets are deeply sunken, and its eyes protrude outwards. Its face is very ferocious, its body is extremely strong, and its whole body is covered only by a ring of broken white cloth hanging around its waist. Body.
Xu Xin noticed that he was holding a huge stick that was thick at the top and narrow at the bottom. The stick was full of uneven marks and even traces of blood.
The patterns on the vines and mutated hares were random and messy, but not on this humanoid monster. The blood-red patterns on his body were like tattoos, exuding a strange beauty.
The patterns formed a special shape on its chest, somewhat similar to the totems of ancient tribes.
"What the hell is this!" Xu Xin subconsciously took two steps back.
Looking at the map, Xu Xin suddenly discovered that a bright red dot had lit up on the map at some point. Its brightness was no less than that of the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.
When did it appear! When Coco reminded him just now, there was obviously no red dot!
Just when he was still in shock, the huge monster suddenly moved.
Its huge head turned toward the hill where Xu Xin was, and its eyes seemed to be looking directly at him, with its protruding eyeballs covered with bloodshot eyes.
Xu Xin suddenly felt cold all over.
"Hey!" Coco rolled onto Xu Xin's back and hid, revealing half of her head to look in that direction. The Silver King next to him let out a "woo" and fell to the ground.
He was so far away, could this monster see him?
Xu Xin stared at the monster's movements. The monster's eyes seemed to be hyperthyroid and stared straight at him.
"Roar!!!" Suddenly, the monster opened its mouth wide and let out a loud roar at him.
The surrounding trees swayed vibratingly under the roar, and even the birds near the hills were shaken by the roar and fell down.
Just when Xu Xin gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and run away, the huge monster looked at him, suddenly pointed at the altar with the stick in his hand, and roared at him again, but did not come forward.
"...What do you mean?"
Under Xu Xin's nervous and puzzled gaze, the huge humanoid monster waved the stick in its hand at Xu Xin, then turned and walked towards the hills in the opposite direction to Xu Xin.
Every step the monster took made the entire mountain forest shake. The trees in front of it were directly pushed down by it, and even smashed away with sticks.
Finally, under Xu Xin's horrified gaze, the monster disappeared behind the hills, the sound of footsteps and vibrations stopped, and the entire hilly resource area was quiet.
"...It just pointed at the altar. What does it mean? Is that an action against me?"
Xu Xin's heart was still beating fast at this time. She grabbed Coco lying on her back and held her in her arms for a while, and then she calmed down a little.
"Hey!" Keke kept protesting, but it was of no use.
After the giant monster left, Silver King stood up and was no longer afraid.
Xu Xin sent a message to Ji Chaoyang: "Have you encountered any strange monsters?"
After a while, Ji Chaoyang replied: "What monster are you referring to? Everything is normal here. I just went to the altar to take a look. The remaining three statues on the stone pillars have not changed."
There are no monsters on Ji Chaoyang's side?
Is it something he only has here?
Xu Xin took a deep breath and replied: "It's okay. I always feel a little strange around me. Maybe I think too much."
"Okay, if you have any questions, you can tell me."
He was the only one who had that huge humanoid monster covered in blood streaks.
"It looks like a troll in the game, so let's call you a blood-striped troll."
This blood-striped troll seems to be somewhat similar to the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.
So far, he has encountered three huge monsters on the ground, the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream, and today's blood-striped troll.
Among them, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the creek will not be displayed on the map, and is not hostile to him. It even helped him get a silver treasure chest.
But the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake and the blood-striped troll stared at him as if staring at prey, and even roared and threatened him, but in the end they did not hurt him, as if they were a little uncomfortable. He left willingly.
Xu Xin looked in the direction of the altar and carefully observed the surroundings of the altar. Only the trees on the path that the blood-striped troll left had been knocked down. Other than that, there were no other traces.
The blood-striped troll was so huge that it was impossible to pass by in the jungle without leaving traces. But there were no traces of the time around. So where did this troll come from?
Since it didn't come from somewhere else, there was only one possibility.
It emerged from the altar.
Xu Xin thought that when she stepped onto the altar, there would be a crisp sound under her feet.
"Could it be that there is a space under the altar? Or is it another entrance to the underground world?"
Xu Xin felt that the world was full of crises. He thought carefully about what he had done to make this blood-striped troll appear, and why Ji Chaoyang did not appear.
Suddenly, Xu Xin thought of something, and he took out the black and red altar knife from his backpack.
[Altar knife (blue): A knife needed to cut the sacrificial materials. Remember to put it back into the altar after use, otherwise the "gods" will be angry! 】
Could it be that because he forgot to return the knife after using it, those "gods" were angry!
The more Xu Xin thought about it, the more possible it became. The bloody troll pointed the stick at the altar, presumably to ask him to return the knife.
Xu Xin clicked on her watch and asked Ji Chaoyang: "Did you return the altar knife yesterday?"
The other person responded quickly this time: "I paid it back. What, you forgot?"
Xu Xin understood in her heart and said casually: "I forgot, no wonder I felt a little strange just now, but it was fine when I returned to the altar. Don't forget to put the knife back."
"You are too careless, be careful what you do."
Xu Xin smiled bitterly, hadn't this already been done? It was indeed too careless this time. Fortunately, it seems that the monster can't attack him now. Could that blood-striped troll be the so-called "god", or a messenger sent by the "god"?
