Chapter 130 Changes at Night
This crystal is dark purple, which is easier to see clearly and easier for Xu Xin, who is trying it for the first time.
There are eight knives of different shapes in the carving tool set. Xu Xin, who has obtained the [Artist] ability, can easily identify what each of these knives is used for.
Picking up one of the knives, he began carving into an egg-sized piece of amethyst.
Just carve a, um, carve a small cocoa.
Coco has actually been following Xu Xin, watching everything he did curiously. Whenever Xu Xin conjured a piece of furniture out of thin air, it would scream "嘤嘤" to express its shock.
But there is only one reason why it is following Xu Xin now: it is already dinner time, and it is waiting for Xu Xin to start eating.
After being tired all day, Xu Xin was actually quite hungry, but now he was more concerned about carving, so he carried Coco to the workbench: "Sit here and don't move. I want to carve an image of you." .”
"Huh?" Coco tilted her little head, looking confused.
"Anyway, don't move. It will be fine soon. When the carving is finished, we will eat." Xu Xin picked up the carving knife and the egg-sized crystal.
"Hey." In order to eat, Coco could only find a comfortable position, hugged the big tail in his arms, and lay motionless on the spot.
The carving knife was very flexible in Xu Xin's hand. The tip of the knife moved smoothly on the amethyst. His hand seemed to have muscle memory. It was very familiar and he quickly became immersed in it.
Time passed by little by little, and Coco, who had been motionless, could no longer sit still. He was hungry and wanted to eat.
"Hey!" Coco shouted, waking up Xu Xin who had entered a state of immersion.
The sculpture in his hand has already taken a rough shape, and Coco's appearance can already be recognized. It only needs some more detailed processing to complete it. There is no need for Coco to be a model here.
After looking at the time, Xu Xin made a sound of surprise.
An hour had passed since he started carving!
At this time, it was completely dark outside the tree house, and the sound of heavy rain could still be heard outside the window, accompanied by thunder from time to time.
But the surroundings of the tree house were very bright, and the light shone down from above the tree house, covering a large area near the tree house. Obviously, the lightning rod on the roof of his tree continued to absorb lightning and glow, causing him to not notice the passage of time.
Xu Xin has never installed torches in the tree house for night lighting. First, the torch always felt not safe enough in the wooden treehouse. Secondly, without saltpeter, the treehouse was already very hot. Thirdly, the light of the fire might attract some powerful beasts that he could not deal with.
The third point is what he is worried about now. Such a bright light can be seen very far away at night. Although it has not reached the level of a searchlight, the jungle is relatively flat and his treehouse is high. This light There is no problem if all the wild beasts and survivors within a radius of dozens of kilometers can see it.
But that’s all for now. Although the frequency of lightning strikes is less now, there is still a lightning strike on the tree house every few minutes. The lightning rod cannot be removed, otherwise the furniture, workbenches and the like in the tree house will be randomly damaged.
"Hey!" Coco yelled again, but she still lay there obediently and didn't move.
Xu Xin stood up: "Let's eat first."
This carving feels like it will take nearly an hour to complete. I didn't expect that a small carving would be so time-consuming, I can only hope that it can provide a high level of decoration.
Handing the half-finished small Coco statue to Coco, Xu Xin hugged Coco and walked out of the study.
Silver King and Mimi ate a lot in one meal, and after eating they could go without eating for a day or even several days. So these two guys were not as hungry as Coco, but they just felt a little bored. Mimi lay by the window and looked out. King Yin sat in the corner again and slept on his stomach.
Xu Xin stir-fried another dish with mutated animal meat. During this period, Coco was curiously playing with this mini, semi-finished version of herself.
This small carving is only a semi-finished product and does not trigger the beep to increase the decoration level. It seems that the carving must be completely completed. It is the first time to carve. I don’t know to what extent it is considered a complete carving to increase the decoration level of the tree house. .
Just as Xu Xin was thinking about it and putting the dishes out to eat, the scream of a bat suddenly came from under the tree house.
The scream was mixed with ultrasonic waves that could affect the human brain, making Xu Xin frown.
He immediately put down his chopsticks, stood up, and rushed to the window in two steps.
"Hey?" Coco, who was about to start eating, suddenly stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at Xu Xin's back.
Xu Xin had told Bat before that if something happened, she would give him a warning. Obviously, something is going on outside now! Could it be that the light from the lightning rod really attracted all the monsters in the surrounding water?
He looked out the window and his eyes widened at what was happening outside the tree house.
On the almost endless water surface outside, tree crowns actually appeared one by one! The small trees under the water, which were originally only three or four meters high, began to grow rapidly again!
He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was just after seven in the evening.
Pieces of tree crowns have emerged from the water, and are still growing taller. In just a few dozen seconds, these trees have grown to a height of about ten meters.
All the tree crowns were connected together, blocking Xu Xin's sight. There was no longer the sound of heavy rain falling on the water, but the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the leaves.
In less than a minute, the window outside the window had completely transformed back into what it was before the bush fire, a complete jungle!
Looking down at the water surface under the tree house, Xu Xin could clearly see under the lighting of the lightning rod that even shrubs and grass had grown under the water.
Looking into the distance, Xu Xin even felt that the jungle had completely returned to normal if it weren't for the fact that there was still five or six meters of water under the tree house.
He could even see that there were several locations emitting blue light within his field of vision.
A new blue resource was born!
"This..."
It was late at night, and the rainstorm season hadn't ended yet. Why, these trees started to grow again and were fully grown.
Could this be part of the rainy season activities?
Thinking like lightning, Xu Xin suddenly understood the changes that would come with the growth of trees at this point in time.
It’s time to help out those few who aren’t out exploring.
Xu Xin sent a message in the [Explorer] group.
"Have you noticed the changes outside the tree house? The patches of small trees have fully grown, and the jungle has basically recovered. Of course, the water level has not dropped.
Those of you who dare not explore far away from the tree house because of the poor water quality, now there are so many trees that you can rely on. If there is danger in the water, you can still climb up the trees. You can go out for a walk.
There are many new resources outside. There are some ornamental fish in the water, crystals on the bottom of the water, and redwoods may be floating on the water. These are all related to the new attribute of the tree house [Decoration]. ”
Although the jungle has returned and the area around Xu Xin's tree house looks normal, the tornadoes in the distance have not stopped yet. However, Xu Xin feels that they seem to have become much smaller and will gradually disappear.
Xu Xin hesitated for a moment and decided to share his information: "There is a water vortex under the water of the tornado. You can enter it, but you must be careful. I have a mutant flag that is much stronger than ordinary mutant beasts. The fish is guarding, so don’t get close to the tornado if you don’t have the strength to kill it.”
Within seconds of sending his message, there was a response.
Wang Lei: "Damn it! Mr. Xu didn't say that I didn't notice it. The outside has really turned into a jungle! That's great. I'll go out now. Now there's no problem in swimming further!"
Qi Xuefei: "Thank you, I'll go out and have a look too."
Li Wenxi: "Oh my god, the jungle is back. I can finally go out! New resources are here!"
The three of them only said one sentence and then stopped talking. It seemed that they were anxious in the tree house and wanted to go out to find new resources quickly.
Suddenly, Qin Yunlong, who had not spoken since the beginning of the event, appeared.
Qin Yunlong: "I have a mutated swordfish here. It is too fast in the water and is dangerous. However, it only moves near the water whirlpool. It stops chasing me when I am far away. It is no match for it in a head-on confrontation. Xu Xin, how did you kill your swordfish? ”
Xu Xin told him his method. Qin Yunlong thanked him and went to try to use Xu Xin's method to hunt the swordfish over there.
Xu Xin's method has a limitation, that is, it must have very good water properties, be fast, be able to avoid attacks, harm the swordfish, and lead the swordfish to the tree house. Most people can see clearly underwater now. It's impossible to do that, let alone do it. But maybe Qin Yunlong can do it.
Wen Guixin and Zhao Xiaochuan, who had not seen each other for a day, also showed up.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Huh? Boss Xu actually killed that fish over there! Oh my God, this is too strong. I have to run around to avoid the pursuit of that thing even if I pick up materials. If it hadn't been for the fact that the thing was only in the dragon I might get cold if I move around the volume, the gap is too big..."
Wen Guixin: "What does this mean? I also killed that fish, but I didn't know that the underwater whirlpool could enter. Xu Xin, you won't trick us, right? Thank you very much."
< br>
Xu Xin: "There is no water in the whirlpool, but it is a bit cold. I have a small box with resources here, and there is a small floating whirlpool. If you attack it, you can make the tornado disappear."
< br>
"Okay, thank you." "Thank you, Mr. Xu!" The two of them said no more questions and said thank you and stopped talking.
I don't know what Ji Chaoyang is like, he is not much worse than me. Although Xu Xin was the first survivor to artificially destroy a tornado, he felt that Ji Chaoyang should be able to do the same.
His correspondence with Ji Chaoyang still stopped at the sentence where he asked about the situation in the morning, but the other party has not replied to him until now.
Xu Xin returned to the dining table. Coco, who had been sitting on the table waiting for Xu Xin to come back, suddenly screamed "嘤嘤嘤", seeming to complain to Xu Xin that it was about to starve to death.
Xu Xin handed a pair of chopsticks to Coco's little paws, and Coco immediately started eating. It is becoming more and more proficient in using chopsticks.
After filling his stomach, Coco lay on the sofa with satisfaction, burping from time to time. Xu Xin was about to continue finishing his little Coco carving when Ji Chaoyang suddenly replied to him.
"I just saw the message you sent. The first person to eliminate the tornado was you, Xu Xin." Oh? It seems that Ji Chaoyang has indeed done it, and his side is also ranked. Judging from his tone, could he be the second one?
