Chapter 123 Creatures in the Whirlpool
Xu Xin put the blue crystal into his backpack and swam around looking for similar stones.
Although there are many colored stones at the bottom of the water, most of them are dull in color and very turbid. They are not as clear and transparent as the blue crystal just now. With the ability to identify, all of them are emitting white light.
Xu Xin casually pulled out a purple stone and held it in his hand.
[Amethyst (white): An ordinary crystal that can be used for engraving. 】
The white grade crystal will not affect the "decoration" of the tree house.
Xu Xin threw away the crystal and started looking for crystals under the water that emitted green or even blue light.
After swimming underwater for a long time, Xu Xin finally found three green crystals of different colors, namely amethyst, red crystal and green crystal. His identification ability allows him to see the light at a glance, which is very efficient.
However, these crystals are not difficult to find for others who do not have the ability to identify them, because the appearance of green grade and white grade is very different. Green grade is clear and transparent, while white grade is dim and turbid, so it is easy to distinguish them.
There were no resources above green level around. Xu Xin emerged from the water and looked at the huge tornado that was only two or three hundred meters away from him.
At such a close distance, the entire tornado looked even more ferocious.
However, this was probably because the tornado had drawn the dark clouds in the nearby sky into it. There was no longer thunder falling nearby, but bright yellow lightning flashed across the tornado from time to time.
"Keke said there are treasures in the tornado and there is no danger. Does he mean to ask me to enter? But how dare I enter..." Xu Xin muttered to himself as he looked at the oppressive tornado in front of him.
Entering this tornado? What is the difference between seeking death...
However, although the distance was only a few hundred meters, Xu Xin still did not feel any suction from the tornado. Only the water he was currently in was flowing in the direction of the tornado's rotation.
The entire nearby body of water was spinning with the tornado.
Plunging back into the water and looking in the direction of the tornado, Xu Xin was surprised to find that the underwater part of the tornado in the distance was actually just a small underwater whirlpool!
Of course, this is small compared to the water part of the tornado.
The thinnest part below the water part has a diameter of tens of meters, and it becomes larger and larger as it goes into the air. The position of the clouds can even affect a radius of thousands of meters, which makes the entire tornado look very exaggerated.
But the water seemed to be just a whirlpool about ten meters in diameter. There seemed to be something rotating in the whirlpool with the current, which could not be seen clearly.
The rotation speed of the vortex is not very fast, at least it is much slower than the wind speed on the water surface.
Xu Xin thought he could get closer and take a look.
But before that, he had to discuss with everyone in [Explorers] to see if he could get some information that he didn't know.
There was no place to stay around, so Xu Xin had no choice but to float to the surface and open the watch.
Ji Chaoyang: "If you have good water skills, you can try to get close to this tornado. There must be some brand-new materials around the tornado that we have never seen before, which may be related to our survival in the next stage."
Ji Chaoyang said this after Xu Xin came down from the tree house. He didn't speak again after that. He probably went out to explore.
Xu Xin couldn't help but sigh that she was lucky. If he hadn't obtained this anaconda scale armor, he wouldn't even be qualified to go out and explore.
With his skills that it took more than a minute to swim 50 meters and would tire him out until he was out of breath, he could only wait in the tree house until the activity was over.
Qi Xuefei: "Come on, I'll be waiting for you in the tree house."
Wang Lei: "This... does being able to paddle a dog count as being able to swim? Forget it, I'll just walk around the tree house. I'm afraid I won't be able to swim back if I get too far away..."
Li Wenxi: "I'll just stay in the tree house. This event is really not friendly to people who can't swim."
Wen Guixin: "I'll go out and take a look. My skills are pretty good. If there are any new resources, I'll tell you."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I'll go take a look too. There is a reservoir near my home. Before I came to this world, I often swam in the reservoir. I'm not afraid of reservoirs that are tens of meters deep. These four or five meters are nothing!"
Zhao Xiaochuan's words seemed like he was showing off his water nature, but Xu Xin could see that he was more cheering for himself. After all, the shape of the tornado outside is really too bluffing.
Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu have been silent. These two people are very good at water. I am afraid that like Xu Xin, they have already started exploring in the water.
Li Wenxi also sent him several private messages.
"Xu Xin, what do you think? Can that tornado really get close?"
"But I'm not very good at swimming. The distance there is more than one kilometer away. I definitely won't be able to swim there. It doesn't matter to me whether I can get closer or not..."
"Are you out already?"
This was a message sent nearly half an hour ago.
Xu Xin replied: "I am already only two to three hundred meters away from the tornado."
Li Wenxi was playing with her mutated cow in the tree house boredly. When she saw Xu Xin's reply, her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You are actually so close! You are two to three hundred meters away, won't you be sucked in?"< br>
"No, but the water flow near the tornado is always turning. If the water quality is not good, don't come here. It is easy to be sucked in directly."
"Well, have you discovered any new resources?"
"Indeed, I will tell you when I get back."
"Oh, okay, please be safe!"
Xu Xin was sending a private message to Li Wenxi while carefully looking at the tornado nearby. At this time, some things still flew out from the tornado from time to time, mostly stones, wood, etc., as well as the corpses of some wild beasts.
Xu Xin sent another message to Qin Yunlong and Ji Chaoyang, wanting to exchange information with them, but no one replied to him.
...Their exploration progress may not be as good as his own. It seems that he can only rely on himself.
Suddenly, a long piece of wood thrown out from the tornado hit a place not far from Xu Xin. It made a huge splash and then emerged from the water, rotating with the water flow.
Xu Xin swam over immediately.
He found that this piece of wood was different from any kind of wood he had seen before. It was darker in color and the texture of the cross-section looked more regular.
Hugging Driftwood, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her body. Finally I can take a little rest.
This piece of redwood is equivalent to the trunk of a tree, much larger than ordinary wood, logs and thin wood.
[Redwood (green): A high-grade wood with tough wood, fine texture, and bright color. It is an excellent material for carving. It can be used to make furniture and improve the decoration of the tree house. 】
Decoration again!
Although you can rest on the redwood, the current will gradually move closer to the inside of the tornado. So Xu Xin put the redwood away and floated it in place.
There are many floating redwood trees on the surrounding water that rotate with the current. They must have been thrown out from the tornado.
Whenever these logs came nearby, Xu Xin swam over and put them in his backpack. Before long, he had collected twelve red logs.
Xu Xin thought that was enough, and he planned to go to the center of the tornado to take a look.
The water plant (blue) will provide the ability to breathe underwater for half an hour. He ate it with the blessing of the dining table, so it lasts forty-five minutes, but even so, the effect has long since disappeared.
Xu Xin replenished the effects on her body, plunged into the water again, and swam toward the whirlpool in the center.
As he continued to get closer to the underwater whirlpool, Xu Xin found that the pulling force of the surrounding water was getting stronger and stronger. When the distance was about less than a hundred meters, his body began to be involuntarily carried around in circles by the water.
Xu Xin stopped his movements and let the water flow spin him towards the center.
The speed of rotation is not fast, and he can completely control his body in the water.
Suddenly, a familiar sense of crisis slowly rose in his heart, causing his relaxed body to tighten suddenly.
Xu Xin looked around nervously, looking for the source of danger.
The water is still very calm. The water flow is rotating with the vortex in the center. The stones on the bottom of the water are also rotated by the current and are gradually sucked into the vortex in the center.
As he got closer to the invisible vortex in the center, the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger. The danger indeed comes from the whirlpool!
Just as he was staring at the whirlpool, ripples suddenly appeared in the calmly rotating whirlpool, and then, a large fish nearly four meters in length suddenly emerged from the whirlpool!
The spikes on its mouth were extremely sharp, like a sharp sword, pointed straight in Xu Xin's direction!
