Chapter 139 Mine, alive? !
Xu Xin didn't know what was in this mine, but he didn't want to know now.
Although these vines alone are not very strong, their number is unknown, so he will not risk his life to enter this cave.
Xu Xin waited outside for dozens of seconds, and the remaining two blood-striped vines slowly retracted under the ground like monsters that had lost their hatred value in the game.
Suddenly, a small section of those vines emerged from the ground. The tips of the vines faced his direction. As if they glanced at him, they quickly shrank below the ground, leaving only a few small holes.
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave.
"Hey!" Coco pushed his face and pointed with her little paws at several holes left by the vines on the ground.
Xu Xin looked in the direction that Ke Ke pointed, and what he saw made his pupils shrink suddenly.
These potholes and cracks are actually moving!
That's right, the ground composed of stones and salt mines is crawling like flesh and blood!
Under Xu Xin's shocked gaze, the holes and cracks were gradually healing, and the crossbow bolt that stuck half of the vine on the ground also shook slightly, and fell down with half of the vine, revealing what was already underneath. Level the ground.
In the end, the ground completely changed back to what it was before the vines appeared. Except for a little more gravel and salt residue around it and a few broken vines, it was as if nothing had happened here.
This ground actually has the ability to recover and can heal slowly!
Before he obtained the gold treasure chest, he also stepped outside the protected area. At that time, vines emerged from the ground and attacked him. After the final attack failed, they also retreated underground.
That time, the cracked ground definitely did not heal automatically!
He couldn't help but take a small step back.
This situation is like a living creature being injured and the wound is healing automatically.
Xu Xin took a deep breath. In order to verify his conjecture, he reloaded the crossbow with another arrow, pointed it at the wall of the salt mine, and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh - click!" The crossbow arrow penetrated into the stone wall of the mine, and stone chips flew everywhere.
"Huh..."
Suddenly a breeze blew out from the depths of the mine, carrying a strange fragrance. Although the smell was relatively refreshing, for some reason Xu Xin, who had slight pharyngitis, still vomited slightly, frowned, and covered his head. Cover your nose.
At the same time, the crossbow bolt inserted into the stone wall of the mine shook for a while, as if it was pushed out of the cave wall, and then fell to the ground.
The cave wall, which had been hit by a crossbow arrow and made a small crater, returned to its original state at this time.
He had also used a pickaxe to knock the walls of the cave here, which were all ordinary green-grade stones. The stone walls had not returned to their original shape after being knocked.
Looking at the wall he had chiseled before, he finally withdrew his gaze in vain. He didn't remember what shape he had carved into the cave wall before.
"...Really, is he alive?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched, and she resisted the urge to turn around and run away, "I didn't do this before, is it because I just woke up?"
The gusts of wind with a strange fragrance just now made his head feel dizzy. He quickly took out an orange that could enhance his mental power and a strawberry that could balance his emotions and ate them.
My head cleared up instantly, and the panic I felt before was relieved a lot.
He ate another red berry, gained night vision, and looked into the dark depths of the mine.
The salt mine cave is not very deep. You can see the end of the mine cave at a glance, and it is only a few dozen meters away from the cave entrance.
What made Xu Xin a little scared was that there was a large pit on the ground at the deepest point of the mine that had never existed before.
Judging from the entrance, the pit is about two meters in diameter. There are some stones and salt mine debris around the pit. These debris are evenly distributed around it, as if something drilled out of the ground and shook. The body is the same.
Looking in from the hole, you can't see how deep the pit is.
He had come here twice to pick up salt mines, and he had inspected the interior very carefully, and even used a pickaxe to dig around. He was very sure that there was absolutely no such a big pit inside the salt mine cave before.
Xu Xin looked at the map again. As the vines retreated underground, there was no longer a single red light spot inside the salt mine.
At a distance of tens of meters, Mimi might be able to go in and take a look. It is very fast and will not be hurt by monsters that suddenly emerge from the ground.
"Mimi, can you go to the pit inside and see what's in it or how deep it is?" Xu Xin asked Mimi. If it didn't want to, he wouldn't force it. After all, it was dangerous inside.
Mimi glanced at him, then took a few steps in the opposite direction to the cave entrance.
Yes, it doesn't want to enter.
Just when Xu Xin was thinking this, Mimi, who was already far away from the entrance of the cave, suddenly accelerated and flashed into the mine like a bolt of lightning!
It took less than a second to reach the end of the mine, turned around lightly, kicked off the wall at the end of the mine with its hind legs, glanced into the cave on the ground, and then quickly ejected with the help of the reaction force.
The whole process only took more than two seconds. Xu Xin didn't even react. Just as his eyes widened, Mimi had already landed ten meters away from the cave and was walking towards him.
Even the weird creatures underground didn't react. It wasn't until Mimi came out of the cave that a few vines broke out of the ground.
"Ugh!" Coco screamed in surprise.
"...This is too fast!" Xu Xin was also shocked.
These vines turned around a few times after emerging from the ground, seeming to draw a few question marks in the air, and looking at each other a little bit. It looked like a few people scratching their heads and asking each other: "Did you do something just now?" What passed? Did you see it?”
Xu Xin has never seen Mimi move so fast. Probably because the big pit inside the mine also made it feel the crisis, it burst out at its fastest speed and quickly turned into an afterimage.
The hole was about fifty meters deep. It took Mimi less than a second to rush to the edge of the cave wall. In terms of speed, it was directly over 200! The upper limit of highways on earth is only 120. If you use Mimi's speed on the highway, you will be deducted 12 points and your driver's license will be revoked.
Outrageous. This speed is really outrageous.
However, such a rapid burst of speed is also a burden for Mimi. After it got closer, Xu Xin could clearly hear that its breathing became much heavier than before.
Coco jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and jumped on Mimi. Mimi never objected to the touch between Coco and Silver King. This made Xu Xin a little bit disgusted. He also always wanted to masturbate this big cock. cat.
"Huh?" "Meow."
Coco and Mimi started communicating.
Xu Xin asked: "How is it? Is there anything in the pit?"
"嘤!"
Mimi didn't answer, but just lay down and licked the fur on her body. Coco screamed and kept waving its two little paws at Xu Xin, but Xu Xin really couldn't understand what it was doing.
Xu Xin asked Coco directly many questions, asking him to nod or shake his head in response.
After spending a long time, he finally knew the situation of the large pit that suddenly appeared in the mine.
The pit was indeed very deep, so deep that Mimi couldn't see the end at a glance. But there is nothing in the pit. The soil in the pit is faintly red, and there is a very special fragrance in the hole.
There seems to be something emitting a bright white light deep inside the pit, which is why Mimi feels that the hole is very deep. Otherwise, if it were pitch black and there was no light in the hole itself, it would not be able to see at all. Those who clean the pit will naturally not come to the conclusion that the pit is very deep.
"Light red soil..." Xu Xin's face changed again and again.
Xu Xin had seen this kind of soil in one place.
The soil at the entrance to the underground world where the golden treasure chest is found, the entrance to the very long iron tunnel, is the light red soil!
"Contaminated soil!" Xu Xin felt her body was a little cold.
He recalled the faint and strange fragrance he had just smelled. The fragrance was not pleasant, but it was still a fragrance anyway. It was not as foul and unpleasant as the red mist pouring out from the entrance to the underground world, but...
It's not the same taste, but that doesn't mean it's not the same substance.
In fact, there is such a very magical substance on the earth, indole.
Indole is one of the important components that make up the special aroma of flowers such as jasmine, white orchid, lotus, and cognac. It is used as the key to making perfume and is even used in various foods. However, it is also found in large amounts in feces.
It has a pleasant floral aroma at very low concentrations, but has a deadly odor at extremely high concentrations.
The strange fragrance that Xu Xin smells now probably has the same properties.
From the beginning, this smell gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling. After learning that the soil at the entrance of the pit was light red, he was almost certain that this smell was the red mist in the channel diluted thousands of times. the taste.
This smell gave him basically the same feeling as the red mist before. It made him feel a little dizzy. Although it smelled good, it still made him feel nauseous.
As for the bright white light deep in the pit, he didn't have a clue. It might be some treasure or a trap, but Xu Xin would not go in to check like a fool.
Combining the information obtained, Xu Xin's eyes changed when he looked at the mine.
This is probably the entrance to the second underground world!
And the mine at the entrance might even be alive! At least it can automatically recover from "injury"!
No, we have to find a way to block this salt mine cave!
But after thinking for a long time, Xu Xin didn't think of any good way to block the mine. He could only move a few large rocks from the side of the mine to symbolically block the entrance.
Although this approach was basically equivalent to covering one's ears and stealing the bell, even the rocks that he could move, and the things that came out of the ground could not be pushed away, but leaving the hole open like this made him really uneasy.
At least the things inside can't come out silently.
Looking at the blocked hole, Xu Xin at least felt better. (End of chapter)
