Chapter 141 Mountain Giant?
After the salt mine cave, this was the second bottomless hole he found today.
Could it be that this hole also leads to the underground world?
Xu Xin looked into the cave. Even though he had the night vision ability of red berries, he still couldn't see to the end. It was still pitch black below.
He leaned down and grabbed a handful of soil at the entrance of the cave.
[Contaminated soil (ash): Soil infected by unknown forces is useless to survivors. 】
Sure enough, it’s this kind of soil again!
Is this hole originally there?
Thinking of the new cave that appeared in the salt mine, Xu Xin seemed to understand something.
Perhaps, these burrows that may be connected to the underground world are related to their second stage of survival.
In the second stage, they may start to really come into contact with the underground world!
Xu Xin took one last look at the deep hole in the lake, turned around and swam back to the lake.
He didn't dare to jump in like Chang Yin and them. Who knew how deep the cave was. Changyin's family is like rocks and is insensitive to water pressure. They can jump down, but he can't get down.
By the lake, the three beasts are still waiting. Coco poked her head on the rocks by the lake, looking worriedly at the lake that had been motionless for more than ten minutes.
After seeing Xu Xin's figure heading upstream, it finally breathed a sigh of relief and called out "嘤" to indicate to Xu Xin that it was here.
Xu Xin followed the sound and looked over, and found that the three beasts were no longer in their original positions. They were now on the other side of the lake, while Silver King and Mimi were scratching something on the ground with their claws.
What happened? Why did you get there?
Xu Xin swam over and walked up from the lake.
My body is wet, but fortunately the scale armor does not absorb water. It is now close to noon, the sun is just right, the weather is hot, and the air is not humid, so the water on my body will dry up in a few minutes.
Walking to Yinwang and Mimi, Xu Xin found that they were still digging.
"What's wrong? Is there anything down there?" He stepped forward and asked.
"Hey!" Coco waved her little paws at him, gesturing something.
"A pocket knife?...Altar knife?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up, "Did you discover it?"
"Hey!" Coco nodded.
Xu Xin reached out and rubbed Coco's little head: "Well done!"
"Hey!" Coco puffed up her small chest, then climbed up Xu Xin's arm and onto his shoulder.
At this time, Silver King and Mimi had dug out half of the altar knife. The knife was inserted into the ground with the tip downwards. It seemed that it should have been thrown directly in. It was not impossible with the strength of the long seal.
Pulling out the altar knife, Xu Xin glanced at the bottom of the lake with some concern.
Don't know what happened to them. Let's wait and see again in the evening, maybe the altar will really change.
Riding on the Silver King, Xu Xin first came to the altar and put the altar knife back to its original position to avoid provoking more monsters.
There was nothing left to explore around, so he started walking back.
Return the way you came.
When passing near the salt mine cave, he subconsciously glanced at the salt mine cave.
It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was shocked and broke into a cold sweat when he saw it.
"Stop! Silver King, let's go to that mine!"
"Ouch!" Silver King turned around and arrived at the mine in a few seconds.
The entrance to the cave that was originally blocked by Xu Xin with a large rock was opened for some unknown reason!
The rocks blocking the entrance of the cave had disappeared at this time, and he did not find them near the entrance of the cave.
Looking inside the mine, everything in the mine is still so normal, it looks like a completely ordinary mine.
But it was this ordinaryness that made Xu Xin discover the clues.
The ground is so clean.
Where are the broken vines just now, the crossbow bolts he shot into them, and the debris of stones and salt mines on the ground?
Not only can this mine repair itself, it can also clean itself up.
Could it be that something came out from inside, cleaned up the mine, and removed the stones blocking the mine?
Xu Xin thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed. While observing the hill where the salt mine cave was located, he backed away. Slowly, the overall appearance of the hill was revealed in front of Xu Xin's eyes.
"I...fuck..."
Xu Xin's complexion changed drastically, and his whole body became cold.
He couldn't figure it out without thinking in a certain direction. This association suddenly caused a chill to rise from his heart.
If you think of this hill as a huge head, then this mine is just its big mouth!
And above the cave, there is a ridge-like protrusion, like the bridge of a person's nose.
Continuing to look up, the two concave pits on the hills happen to be at the position of the eyes, just like eye sockets!
Above each pit, there is a tree growing very crookedly on the slope. From this angle, it looks like the two raised eyebrows above the eye sockets!
The more I look at them, the more they look like me, and the more I think about them, the more they look like me.
He wanted to convince himself that this was just a coincidence, but combined with the previous situation, the inside of the mine would heal automatically, things inside and outside the mine would magically disappear, and the mine would not even be protected by the tree house...
The chances of coincidence are too slim.
By the way, the deep pit inside could be the esophagus of the big monster! Maybe it ate the stones around its mouth and the things in its mouth, so the inside and outside of the mine are so clean now!
What is this? Mountain giant? This is too magical...
Xu Xin took a deep breath and calmed down her mood a little.
When he thought that he might have mined salt in the mouth of a giant monster, he still felt his hands shaking a little, so he quickly ate a strawberry (blue) before calming down.
After calming down, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He really looks like a drug addict.
No, you can’t rely too much on the effects of strawberries in the future. You still have to learn to control your emotions.
"Huh?" Coco called out confusedly on his shoulder, expressing confusion about his behavior.
Xu Xin suddenly wanted to tease Coco.
"Keke, look, does this hill look like a human head?" Xu Xin took Keke down and made her face face the direction of the hill.
Coco was confused by Xu Xin's words and could only look at Qiuling in confusion.
"Ugh?...Ugh!" Coco tilted her little head and remained motionless at first, but when she saw clearly, she was so frightened that she broke away from Xu Xin's hands and hung them on his back again.
Even so, it couldn't help but stick out its little head and look towards the hills.
Looking at Coco's cute little appearance, Xu Xin smiled and touched its little head.
Not only Coco, but also Silver King and Mimi, who heard his words, also changed their attitudes after taking a look at the overall appearance of the hills.
Silver King bared his teeth in the direction of the hills and let out bursts of shouts from his throat. Mimi arched her back, her whole body was full of fur, and her tail was swaying slightly behind her back, making her look like she might attack at any time.
Xu Xin continued to look at this "head", and the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became.
If this was just a masterpiece of nature, it would not be an exaggeration to be rated as a five-star scenic spot on earth. But if it is true as Xu Xin suspected, then this mountain giant is too big.
A hill sixty or seventy meters high is just a head. Even if this giant has seven heads, the overall height is between 400 and 500 meters!
Four to five hundred meters is the height of the Magic City Pearl and the Yangcheng Tower. The overall height is much wider than the slender buildings.
If it does appear, the visual impact will be absolutely unparalleled.
The blood-striped troll Xu Xin had seen near here before was only thirty or forty meters high.
Good guy, did he underestimate the hills of this circle before? How can the blood-striped troll be compared with such a giant monster?
Looking at the mine with mixed emotions, Xu Xin turned over and sat on the back of Silver King: "Let's go, let's go to the black bear cave and have a look."
Go look for the giant crocodile and see if it survives the rainstorms. Moreover, he can also ask Behemoth about the questions here. Although he doesn't understand, Coco does, and he can just ask Coco to translate for him.
And he also wanted to see if there were any changes in the black bear cave. Now he was a little nervous and had to sift through all possibilities.
As for this, Xu Xin couldn't handle it, so what else could he do, just try not to provoke him.
When you go to the altar in the evening, stop by to check on the situation. Maybe some different things will happen here at night.
The Silver King was very fast, and within a few minutes, one person and three beasts arrived at the creek outside the Black Bear Cave.
Xu Xin was shocked to find that there was only a 20-meter-long pit in the shape of a crocodile left at the bottom of the lake. The rest of the creek is tens of centimeters and less than one meter deep, except for this crocodile-shaped pit, which is several meters deep.
It's like digging a reservoir in the middle of a stream.
This is obviously where the giant crocodile once lay.
...not here anymore?
Being able to find this giant crocodile that was very kind to him and helpful to him at any time made him feel very safe. After all, this big guy was on par with the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.
At this time, it was no longer here, and Xu Xin suddenly felt empty.
He shook his head.
The most important thing is to enhance your own strength, and you cannot always rely on external forces.
Xu Xin turned around and walked towards the black bear cave.
He always paid attention to the red dots on the map. Coco didn't warn him that there was any danger in the cave, so he stepped directly into the cave.
At the end of the cave, the gap that appeared during the dungeon exploration activities has been completely closed and disappeared. Other than that, there seemed to be nothing unusual in the cave, even the whistling wind from before could no longer be heard.
Xu Xin took out his spear and stabbed the cave wall hard. The cave wall shattered and gravel flew out.
After waiting for a while, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief when the cave wall was not repaired automatically.
He just had a ridiculous idea. The black bear cave was also a mouth, and he could eat the giant crocodile outside in one bite. Now it seems that he thought too much.
Since the giant crocodile is not here and the black bear cave is just an ordinary cave, today's jungle exploration will end here.
It's time to go back and improve the decoration of the tree house. (End of chapter)
