Chapter 138 Famine is coming?
Xu Xin immediately asked the group of explorers: "When you go out to explore, do you have a lot of food?"
Li Wenxi: "I was just about to ask. I have been tired of eating meat these days and wanted to eat some fruit. But I searched for a long time and couldn't even find a fruit tree. I can't eat blue-level fruits to satisfy my craving..."
< br>
Qi Xuefei: "I haven't gone out yet."
Wang Lei: "I don't have one here either... My previous refrigerator for storing food was struck by lightning, and now there is no food outside. This is too difficult!"
Ji Chaoyang: "At least for now, my side is basically unable to obtain food from the jungle. I don't know how many days this situation will last."
Qin Yunlong: "There are very few fish in the lake. There used to be groups of fish in the lake here, but now there are only a few here and there."
Wang Lei: "I'm so hungry... By the way, can ornamental fish be eaten?"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I still have some food. Call Daddy and I'll share some with you."
Wang Lei: "I'll fuck you!"
Xu Xin was a little dumbfounded, so she directly traded him ten pounds of green-grade carp meat, the meat of the big carp he let go of one before. He also traded a few apples he had just picked to Li Wenxi.
Wang Lei: "Oh shit! Boss Xu actually gave me ten pounds of fish! Thank you, boss! I love you, boss!"
Li Wenxi: "It's Apple! I love you, Xu Xin!"
"Wang Lei, shut up." Xu Xin said angrily, and then asked, "I picked this fish up on the ground after the water receded, didn't you?"
Wang Lei: "Why do you just tell me to shut up..."
Wen Guixin: "No, I've been walking around outside, but I haven't seen any food. However, there is a tree called rosewood, which can produce redwood, but it is very rare, and this rosewood tree It must be cut with an iron ax, but not a stone axe.”
Can only be cut with an iron ax?
Xu Xin had indeed chopped it down with an iron ax just now. The introduction in Iron Ax says that you can cut down some special types of trees, and rosewood should be one of them.
No wonder its seeds are so special.
However, if this situation continues, there may really be a famine.
Fortunately, he is not short of food. There is a plantation on the top floor of his treetop, and there is an ice cellar full of mutated animal meat on the bottom floor. Not to mention lack of food, it is not a problem to feed the entire [Explorer].
But others may suffer.
Many items in the treehouses of survivors were destroyed by lightning during heavy rains, most likely including the stored food just like Wang Lei. But even if it wasn't destroyed it wouldn't be good.
Today is already the third day after the dungeon. The mutated beast meat in their hands is basically rotting. If they go out to pick and hunt on the day of rest before the rainstorm, they can survive another day until tomorrow. Otherwise, tonight Going to be hungry.
Unless they eat meat and fruits that may go rancid, if it causes diarrhea and vomiting, the consequences will be much more serious than starvation. Eating carrion is simply seeking death.
Water resources are available, and you can still go on for a while without eating. It depends on how long this situation lasts. If it lasts for a long time, you may end up eating bark and grass roots.
Xu Xin glanced around again.
He had completely searched the surrounding blue-level resources, and now he looked towards the hills.
There is still a resource area over there, and there must be new resources now, but...
He now has two choices, go back and continue carving and improve the decoration of the tree house, or go to the hilly resource area to explore again. It is very special there. The beast statue altar alone is worthy of Xu Xin's inspection now.
Xu Xin looked at the hills in the distance with complicated eyes. He had now basically equated those hills with the blood-striped troll that appeared last time.
Xu Xin checked the map and confirmed that there were no red dots there.
There were originally three tigers in the hilly resource area, but one died due to the contaminated meat of the mutated wild cat summoned by Xu Xin, leaving only two. Now those two are missing.
He had never explored the hilly resource area carefully before, because he was afraid of being targeted by those tigers, and there were also wolves there. For him at that time, the wolves were not easy to deal with.
Now is a great time to explore.
Come and have a look.
Although there are no wild beasts for him to cut off as sacrifices, he is a little curious about whether the altar will change. After all, he has seen the statues on the altar change with his own eyes.
Riding the Silver King, Xu Xin quickly headed towards the hilly resource area.
The closer she gets, the more familiar Xu Xin feels.
Arriving at the foot of the hills, Xu Xin saw the cave where he dug the salt mine again.
The surrounding jungle has long since changed. Even the resource areas inside the hills have changed. Only the areas near the hills have not changed at all.
At the foot of the hill, the tree on which Xu Xin escaped from the wild boar was still standing there. There was still the dug pit under the tree, and even the tree roots were still exposed. Nothing had changed.
Arriving at the entrance of the mine, Xu Xin immediately noticed something strange.
Not long after the water receded, the soil outside the mine was soft and moist, but the ground inside the mine was completely dry!
Moreover, there are still some salt slag left on the ground, which was obviously left behind by Xu Xin after his last mining. If water had really flooded into this mine, it would be impossible for these slags to exist. After all, salt is soluble in water.
Sure enough, it’s a real hammer. If it is invisible from a distance, it may be due to hallucinations and other problems, but everything in this mine points to the fact that water has never entered here.
Xu Xin frowned.
The hills located all around are really mysterious, and the altar surrounded by hills and basically located in the center of the resource area is also extremely mysterious.
"Hey!" Just as he was about to step into the salt mine, Coco suddenly shouted in a rapid voice. It jumped off Silver King's back, ran in front of Xu Xin, and pushed his feet back to prevent him from entering.
There is indeed danger in this mine!
Xu Xin's eyes narrowed and he took out his sharp spear. He was wearing the purple-level scale armor, holding the first gun below the purple level in his hand, and cautiously staring at the inside of the mine.
It can be seen that he took out his weapon and no longer stopped him. Instead, he climbed up on his shoulders and followed Xu Xin to look into the cave.
Looking only from the entrance of the cave, Xu Xin could not see any danger in the cave, but he still believed in Coco's feeling.
Mimi stepped forward, glanced at Xu Xin, and walked towards the cave.
"Be careful, there is danger in the cave!" Xu Xin reminded.
He is not worried about Mimi, after all, its explosive speed is too fast and it is also extremely flexible. Even if it is a surprise attack, it is difficult for anything to harm it.
The moment Mimi's body completely stepped into the cave, a sense of crisis arose in Xu Xin's heart, and then, a red dot quickly lit up on the map!
This is! Those monsters underground!
"Careful!"
But Mimi didn't need Xu Xin's reminder. Just before he spoke, she had already sensed the crisis, kicked off her hind legs, and jumped forward at an extremely fast speed.
The moment it landed, the ground where it was originally opened suddenly opened, and a thorny vine covered with blood-red barbs suddenly emerged from the crack and was thrown directly towards Mimi!
Mimi is not a vegetarian, she is a mutated beast that has almost reached the intermediate level. Facing the attack of the blood-thorn vines, it twisted slightly to avoid it, and then scratched the vines with its claws!
In an instant, the front end of the vine seemed to have been cut open instantly by several knives, and fell to pieces on the ground in the mine.
At the same time, on the map, red dots lit up again from where Mimi was. This time there were three red dots!
"There are a lot of these things, come out quickly!" Xu Xin shouted as he took out a crossbow and aimed it at one of the vines that had emerged from the ground.
Mimi also listened to Xu Xin's words and rushed out of the mine in two steps, landing lightly on the ground without any trace of panic. She even licked the blood-thorn vines and tore them apart with just one claw. paw.
When not in attack mode, Mimi's mutated nails can be retracted by less than half, which doesn't look very exaggerated, and even looks a bit cute.
What was hit by Xu Xin's crossbow arrow was a densely patterned vine. Although there were no thorns on the vine, it was as thick as an upper arm. There were countless blood-red patterns on it, and the color was extremely bright.
After being shot by Xu Xin, the vine twisted violently and struggled.
Under Xu Xin's surprised gaze, the front end of the vine was like an octopus's tentacle, wrapping around the crossbow bolt stuck on its branch, pulling it out, and then throwing it in the direction of Xu Xin!
Fortunately, this vine cannot use crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows are thrown around like darts, and Xu Xin directly swept the crossbow arrows aside with a single shot.
This is a treehouse sanctuary. He looked at the three vines that emerged in front of him and waited quietly for their death.
But as time passed, Xu Xin's face became increasingly ugly.
What's going on, isn't this within the confines of the Treehouse Reserve? Why can these blood stripes and blood-thorn vines, which are obviously underground creatures, survive for so long!
Could it be that this hilly area is no longer protected by the tree house?
No, although these vines were not dead, they did not dare to come out of the cave. They just circled in the direction of Xu Xin, as if provoking him.
Xu Xin immediately fired another crossbow and hit one of the thinner vines. The crossbow arrow was so powerful that it penetrated directly through the vines. The vine that was shot broke off immediately, and the first half fell to the ground, and it was still twisting!
"...This thing looks really ghostly!" Xu Xin cocked his bow and aimed another crossbow at the twisted half vine on the ground.
Half of the vine was nailed to the ground and gradually stopped moving.
The remaining half of the vine slowly retracted into the crack in the ground, leaving only two thick vines waving in the hole.
This cave is really not protected by the tree house!
What is there in the mine that allows them to survive under the protection of the tree house?
Thank you [Fish from South to North] for the 100 starting coin reward, and thank you for your support so many times!
