Chapter 82 Mutated Creatures in the Maze
Xu Xin discovered the difference from the name of the mouse.
The rabbits and cats that popped out of the stone sculptures of the altar had a prefix: "contaminated".
The blood-striped rabbit is a [contaminated mutant wild rabbit], and the blood-striped cat is a [contaminated mutant wild cat]. But this time, the name of the mouse does not mention pollution, it is just called a [mutated mouse].
Wasn't it completely stained by this blood pattern?
Xu Xin looked at the rat meat in his hand and found that there were no patterns on the rat meat, only the blood-red patterns on the rat skin. You must know that the blood-red patterns on the previous rabbit meat and cat meat were deep into the flesh, even deep into the bones.
It seems so. These rats are just low-level mutant creatures. They have not been completely eroded by the weird blood patterns. They have only eroded their fur, so the material grade is relatively low. Although it is stronger than ordinary rats, it is indeed much weaker than the mutated beasts of the altar that were completely eroded.
Xu Xin picked up a piece of mutated rat meat and brought it to Coco: "Coco, do you want to eat this rat meat?"
Cocoa used her claws to push the meat away, looking a little disgusted. It's not that I'm crazy about rabbit and cat meat, nor is I disgusted with tiger meat that died from eating contaminated mutated meat. It's just that it's mouse meat, so I'm a little disgusted with it.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this meat. You can try rat meat when you go back. He hasn't eaten it yet.
After putting the decomposed materials of the two mutant rats into his backpack, Xu Xin picked up Coco on his shoulders and continued walking forward.
Soon, Xu Xin came to the next fork. He made his mark again and moved on.
In this way, after passing several forks in a row, he did not encounter danger again.
As he continued to fumble forward in the narrow gap, suddenly, there was a sound of rocks breaking under his feet, and then his feet were in the air, and his body fell instantly!
"Fuck!"
Fortunately, the passage was narrow, and his body, which had been leaning sideways, suddenly straightened, and his whole body was stuck in the narrow gap, preventing him from continuing to fall.
"Hey!" Coco on the shoulder was startled.
Xu Xin took a step back in shock: "There is a trap here!"
Looking at the place where he just stepped, Xu Xin couldn't help but take a breath.
There turned out to be only a thin layer of stone surface, which collapsed with his foot, revealing a hole that was slightly larger than his foot. Looking down the hole, the depth below is extremely deep, as if it leads directly to hell.
Even though he could see at night now, he still couldn't see anything below, only darkness.
"Is there also an underground world down here?"
Xu Xin picked up a piece of gravel on the side and threw it downwards. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound he wanted to hear.
"How deep is this!" Xu Xin looked at the road ahead and did not dare to walk. He took out a stone from his backpack and threw it to the place ahead that had not been stepped on.
"Crack!" A large piece of the road in the narrow gap instantly shattered.
This section of road looks like cracks in the ground that appeared after an earthquake.
"It seems that this road is a dead end." Xu Xin backed away slowly, and then sent a message to Li Wenxi: "Be careful, you may step on the ground and fall."
Li Wenxi responded quickly to him: "I just met him, and I am sitting on the ground to calm down. I almost fell!"
"Have you encountered any other dangers?" Xu Xin asked.
"Well...it seems there are no more, there are only a few mice, and this time I almost fell, so I didn't encounter any danger, but getting lost is really annoying."
"You leave a mark and don't take the same route, so it's not easy to go around in circles. I'll go to the group and ask them what's going on."
"Oh ok."
Xu Xin returned to the previous fork in the road and carved a cross in the gap to indicate that he could no longer go. Then he did not move forward in a hurry, but asked in the [Explorer]: "Have you found the entrance?"
Within a few seconds, several replies appeared in the group.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I found it, a small gap with a strange sound!"
Wang Lei: "I found it too, just in the cave."
Wen Guixin: "This gap is too small. The more you go in, the more crowded it becomes, and there are even rats!"
Qin Yunlong: "Are you all in a maze? How should I get out of here? Has anyone gotten out?"
Qi Xuefei: "I met a big centipede. If you kill the centipede, you can sell it to me. It can be used as medicine."
Even Qin Yunhu, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Qin Yunhu: "I just killed a centipede. It was really big, like a snake."
Li Wenxi: "Be careful, the ground here is not solid in some places. I just stepped on the air and almost fell! It's too deep down there!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Can you step on the air?! You have to be careful. I just walked so fast just to make time, and I was looking for death..."
Centipede?
"Do the centipedes you encountered have blood-red patterns on their bodies?" Xu Xin asked.
Qi Xuefei: "Yes, it has a very strange pattern. It should be a special species. Have you also encountered a centipede?"
Wen Guixin: "The dead mouse also has red patterns on its body. It looks a bit eye-catching. It has a lot of points. One of them was given 20 points. What is it called a mutant mouse?"
It seems that the things everyone encounters are similar, at least they are mutant creatures.
"Has no one walked out of the maze yet?" Ji Chaoyang suddenly spoke.
"No, I'm still spinning." "Me neither." "I just came in."
It seems that no one has discovered any rules in this maze, so they can only explore it on their own first.
Xu Xin continued to explore in the direction he had not traveled before. Every time he turned, he would leave a mark on the wall in that direction.
On the way, he encountered several rat attacks, but he solved them all.
Soon, he saw the mark he had carved before at a fork in the road.
"Is this... turning back?" Xu Xin frowned.
There was no other way, Xu Xin could only choose another gap and enter it sideways.
"Hey!" Before he had taken a few steps, Coco, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly shouted again. Every time she encountered a mutant rat, Coco would notify Xu Xin in advance.
"There is danger again!" The crossbow in Xu Xin's left hand has been strung up, and the sword is tightly held in his right hand.
"Hey!" Coco pointed to the corner ten meters ahead.
"Is there danger there...is there a monster waiting for me around the corner?" Xu Xin slowly walked towards the corner, keeping the crossbow pointed there.
The closer he got, the more a sense of crisis emerged in Xu Xin's heart. This was his own prediction of danger. The mutant rat didn't appear when it appeared, maybe because the mutant rat was too weak.
This shows that the thing ambushing him around the corner is at least stronger than the mutant rat.
Xu Xin decided to test it out. He stopped about seven or eight meters away from the corner, picked up a piece of gravel and threw it towards the corner.
The moment the gravel flew into the corner, a slender bright red tongue suddenly shot out from the corner and rolled the stone into the corner.
"Ugh!" Coco screamed weakly.
"What's going on?" Xu Ye stopped in shock.
That's... a tongue?
Perhaps he knew that he had been discovered. At the corner, a figure as wide as the passage appeared. His fat body squeezed both sides of the passage. The uneven skin full of pimples made people feel uncomfortable just looking at it. , a pair of red eyes exuding a strange light. It's a toad!
The most important thing is that its dark green and dusty toad body is covered with blood-red patterns!
Blood-striped toad! Another mutated creature!
