Chapter 127 Purple Black Vortex
Xu Xin stared at the small whirlpool above his head and picked up a stone from the ground.
This small purple-black vortex is only the size of a football, rotating quietly, and the surrounding space is constantly twisting as the vortex rotates, as if it wants to suck all the space into it.
Xu Xin retreated a few meters, kept a distance, and threw the stone in his hand towards the small purple-black whirlpool.
The moment the whirlpool was hit by the stone, Xu Xin saw the whirlpool suddenly fluctuate, and then the stone disappeared into the whirlpool.
At the same time, the surrounding wall-like water vortex suddenly trembled, and some water spilled on the ground in the internal space. Even the tornado above suddenly twisted because of this.
Will throwing something into this small purple-black vortex affect the tornado?
...could it be the cause of this tornado? !
Xu Xin picked up another larger stone and threw it over.
The same situation happened again, but this time the amplitude was larger than last time. The surrounding water vortex fluctuated to the point of deformation, and the tornado above the head twisted for a while before returning to its original appearance.
"Fuck!"
A stone the size of a fist fell from the sky and hit Xu Xin in front of him, causing him to scream in surprise.
The distortion just now affected the rotating resources in the tornado and fell into the small area inside. Resources rained down from the sky.
Xu Xin immediately retreated to the edge of the water vortex. If those things come close to the tornado or water vortex again, they will be sucked in, so the edge of the area is safe.
Many mahogany trees and crystals fell in this area, and at the same time, the bodies of several beasts fell and fell to the ground with a "snap".
The scene was a bit bloody, which made Xu Xin, who had hunted countless beasts, twitch his face.
It seems that the tornadoes around here are really caused by this small whirlpool.
After the rain of resources stopped, he started searching directly.
These dropped items were all green-level mahogany and crystal. Xu Xin accepted all comers and put them all in his backpack. They were all carving materials, which might be of great use to him.
As for the beast carcass that was smashed into pulp... let's forget it, it's a bit disgusting, and the materials of ordinary beasts are basically useless to him now.
Xu Xin picked up another stone.
He tasted the sweetness. It seemed that as long as he attacked the black vortex with force, the tornado would twist, and then countless resources would fall down.
This saves him from searching everywhere, and it is more comfortable to pick up resources on the spot.
There was another rain of resources. Xu Xin hid beside the water whirlpool, watching with pleasure as countless resources fell from the sky, and then stepped forward to search for them.
Just when he picked up the stone again and planned to attack the purple-black vortex for the fourth time, he stopped.
Because he found that it seemed that every time he attacked this small whirlpool, it would grow bigger.
The vortex that was originally just the size of a football has now gradually expanded to the size of a tire, and intermittent sounds began to be heard from the originally silent and peaceful vortex that was just spinning silently.
The "Woo" sound was like a demonic wind blowing through the valley. Although it was intermittent, Xu Xin could still catch it.
"Is there something in here?" Xu Xin suddenly became wary.
He suddenly thought of the blood-striped swordfish.
Before he came in, he had been thinking, where did this swordfish come from? Could it be that it came from this purple-black vortex?
Is this purple-black vortex actually connected to other places?
For a moment, Xu Xin had the idea of going in and taking a look, but this idea was immediately wiped out by him.
It's like the old birthday girl hanged himself and is tired of living. He doesn't think he has a long life.
However, you can still try it by continuing to throw rocks into it. He was a little curious as to what would appear when the vortex expanded to a certain extent.
So, he threw the stone in his hand.
The vortex stirred, the tornado also twisted, and another batch of resources fell.
By the time he threw the stone for the seventh time, the purple-black vortex had expanded to a size that Xu Xin could jump directly into. Its diameter was close to two meters, and the sounds in the vortex gradually became clearer.
"Woo...Woo..."
It sounded a bit like the sound of a child crying, but Xu Xin could still tell that it was actually just the sound of wind, the kind of sound made by wind passing through the strange terrain in the valley.
The opposite side of this whirlpool may really lead to another place.
However, Xu Xin ignored the whirlpool and picked up the missing resources.
The number is obviously much less than the previous times, and there are only a few here and there. It seems that the resources in this tornado are not very many, and they have basically been drained by him.
Xu Xin looked at his backpack. There were hundreds of green-level crystals and hundreds of pieces of green-level mahogany. In addition, there were some ordinary stones, wood, and beast carcasses on the ground, but he did not pick them up.
Putting on his backpack, he looked up at the purple-black vortex in front of him that had become very large. In addition to the strange sound of wind in the whirlpool, there are also other sounds, such as the sound of rocks rolling down or the rustling of leaves in the wind.
And...the sound of something squirming.
He was now basically certain that this vortex led to another place. The vortex that caused the tornado was probably something like a portal or a wormhole.
What is on the other side of this whirlpool?
There must be a reason why this vortex is here. But he doesn't know where the inside of the vortex is, whether all places in this world are invaded by underground creatures, whether the inside of the vortex is within the scope of the protected area, and whether he will be directly teleported outside the scope of the protected area if he enters. , besieged by underground creatures.
...It would be nice if Coco was here, it could tell him whether there is danger or treasure in this vortex.
Xu Xin decided to test it out first. He used the watch's treehouse-making feature to create a stick. Wooden sticks can be crafted without a weapon crafting bench.
Because the vortex has become much larger, the bottom edge of the vortex is now only a little higher than Xu Xin, and the surrounding space is distorted, so he does not dare to get close.
He clenched the wooden stick in his hand and slowly reached out towards the whirlpool.
The moment the wooden stick touched the edge of the vortex, a pulling force came from the wooden stick, and the half of the wooden stick was instantly pulled into the vortex. Xu Xin immediately used force and jerked the half of the wooden stick that had been sucked into it. out.
Looking at the wooden stick pulled out of his hand, Xu Xin's eyes twitched: "...Sure enough."
The stick, which had been pulled in for less than a second, was now riddled with holes, as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid.
There was some dark red sticky substance on the stick, which was still making sizzling sounds on the stick, constantly corroding the stick, and black smoke was still rising.
"Click."
The wooden stick that was eroded beyond recognition broke, and the damaged half fell to the ground, falling into pieces. The sticky substance stuck to the ground, eroding a hole of several centimeters in the ground, and then gradually disappeared.
"...Is it so scary?"
Fortunately, he thought in advance that this might be the case and built this wooden stick to test it out.
Xu Xin is now very sensitive to red things. When he saw that the sticky substance above was dark red, he immediately thought of mutant beasts.
"Could it be that this is the body fluid sprayed out by a certain mutated beast? And that mutated beast is guarding the opposite side?" Xu Xin guessed.
No matter what, he will never enter this vortex, it is too dangerous.
But that doesn't mean he will do nothing.
He directly took out his crossbow and pointed it at the whirlpool. If there is really a mutated monster inside the vortex, then let's create some trouble for it.
The crossbow arrow shot into the vortex, causing a wave of fluctuations in the vortex, and the crossbow arrow disappeared.
The moment the crossbow arrow disappeared, the sound in the whirlpool suddenly stopped. The strange sound of wind, the sound of leaves, and the occasional sound of rolling stones all suddenly disappeared. The purple-black vortex rotated calmly, as if returning to its original state.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin frowned. Why did the sound stop?
Suddenly, the vortex began to fluctuate violently again. This time the fluctuations were very strong, just like boiling water that continued to boil, but it exuded a biting chill.
Xu Xin's expression changed drastically. Just when he thought the vortex was about to explode and was about to turn around and run away, the vortex suddenly shrank inward, shrinking into a tiny point in an instant, and then disappeared without warning.
What disappeared together with it were the surrounding water whirlpools and the huge tornado in the sky.
It was just a matter of that moment. The tornado in the sky suddenly disappeared, and some materials still caught in the tornado were thrown around due to inertia. The surrounding water no longer rotated, and free water surged up from all directions, directly submerging Xu Xin who was standing on the ground.
Before Xu Xin could even react, she was suddenly submerged in the water and choked. He quickly swam to the surface.
The tornado really disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be missing a big hole. The sunlight shot out of the hole, shining on the water and making ripples.
But this hole in the sky was quickly filled up by the surrounding dark clouds. The sky was partly sunny for only a few seconds, and then the heavy rain hit Xu Xin's face again. (End of chapter)
