Chapter 144 Changes in the Night


Chapter 144: Changes in the Night

When Xu Xin looked here from the window of the tree house, he did not see the hills wrapped in red mist.

This red mist should have started to spread after dark.

As far as the eye could see, the surrounding hills were surrounded by a layer of faint red mist.

The entire hilly resource area seemed to be surrounded by a thick wall of red mist, with the inside completely invisible.

The most intense red place is at the entrance of the mine in front of you.

Because the surrounding red mist walls are the result of this mine and this "giant mouth" spewing outwards.

Xu Xin noticed that in the deep "eye sockets" of the "giant", there was a slight white light flashing, as if a pair of open eyes were staring at Xu Xin standing in front of it.

"White light?"

Xu Xin remembered that deep in the huge cave in the mine, there was a bright white light. And they also discussed it in [Explorer], and the light deep in other caves was also crystal white.

Could it be that there are some high-level materials there?

Xu Xin looked over with her discerning ability, but did not see any color of light.

If it’s not a resource, why does it glow?

Could it be that they really are the eyes of a giant?

Staring at the two glowing points, Xu Xin's scalp felt numb, and she moved her eyes away to look at the resource area on the inside of the hill.

The resource area is shrouded in red mist. If you want to enter, you must first enter the mist.

Xu Xin hesitated. The dangers in the fog are unknown. And you also need to consider whether inhaling the mist will affect him.

All he knows now is that inhaling this gas will make him dizzy, but with the blessing of orange (blue) mental power, it will have little effect on him.

But inhaling too much may still cause irreversible damage, such as... causing his body to mutate.

After all, this red mist is closely related to the underground world, and it should come from the underground world.

"Hey!" Coco shouted and pushed Xu Xin.

Cocoa sensed danger, and it obviously didn't want to let itself in.

...It's better to go back. It's not something that must be done. There is no need to put yourself in danger for this.

Let’s make plans for Chang Yin’s family later. There is no need to risk your life to find out.

...Speaking of which, the current situation could not be caused by them offering sacrifices to the altar, right?

Turning on the watch, no one said anything on the regional channel or the [Explorer].

Xu Xin asked in the group: "Is there anything abnormal in your cave now?"

Someone responded immediately.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "I am here in the cave now. I always feel that this cave is very strange and I want to come and see it again. There is nothing abnormal, but the fragrance wafting from the cave makes me a little bit heady. No, no, no, I have to go!" < br>


Li Wenxi: "My cave is far away from the tree house. I don't know if anything happened to it. What's wrong? Did something happen to you there?"

Xu Xin frowned and suddenly thought that the hilly resource area was three kilometers away.

Xu Xin: "It's okay, I'm just a little worried."

Then he made a voice call to Ji Chaoyang, who answered within a few seconds: "What's wrong, Xu Xin?"

"Did anything happen over there at your altar?"

"Altar?" Ji Chaoyang's voice was a little confused, "I don't know, I'm in the tree house now."

"Would you like to go and take a look? Something happened here. The red mist spewed out from the cave and enveloped the altar."

"..." There were footsteps from the other side, and then Ji Chaoyang spoke up, "I looked through the window and there was nothing unusual. I'm going to take a look at the altar now. We can keep in touch at any time."


"Okay."

After clicking the voice button, Xu Xin looked at the resource area shrouded in fog in front of her and thought deeply.

Ji Chaoyang also has a mount and will be able to reach the altar soon.

If there was nothing going on on his side, then it was most likely caused by the Changyin family's sacrifice.

Maybe they are in this red mist right now, in the altar!

While he was thinking, Mimi suddenly took two steps forward. Before Xu Xin could react, she jumped into the red mist.

The bat that had been resting on its back flew down in advance, flapped its wings twice in the air, and landed on Xu Xin's shoulder.

Coco, who was lying on King Silver's back, glanced sideways at the bat, but didn't make any fuss with the poor little bat anymore.

"Hey..." Xu Xin just wanted to stop Mimi, then shut up.

A scene that surprised him happened.

When Mimi stepped into the area shrouded in red mist, the ground she stepped on cracked, and countless vines stabbed directly from the ground and launched a fierce attack on Mimi!

Even if Mimi didn't break out at the fastest speed, these vines couldn't catch up.

It circled around the entrance of the salt mine cave, passed through the vines easily, jumped back to Xu Xin's side, then lay down on the ground and stretched.

Judging from its unconcerned look, it seemed that it already knew this would happen.

The scene in the red mist has completely changed.

Some of the branches of these vines are covered with blood-red patterns, and some are covered with blood-red barbs. They dance in the red mist, forming a jungle of red and green mutant vines!

Under Xu Xin's gaze, these vines danced for a long time, and finally slowly retreated below the ground.

Xu Xin's expression changed.

They're not dead.

Is this area shrouded in red mist no longer within the protection range of the tree house?

Silver King and Coco didn't seem surprised either. Coco didn't even scream, looking calm and looking over there.

Xu Xin picked up Coco and looked at it: "Keke, do you know what's going on?"

"Huh?" Coco tilted her head.

Xu Xin: "..."

It might just be able to detect the danger of mutated creatures in advance.

Mimi and Silver King themselves are mutated beasts, and they should be able to detect the aura of the same kind in advance, so Mimi ran in to lure these things out to remind herself not to enter.

No matter what, he didn't dare to enter this red mist.

How else to enter, and what is the difference between entering and stepping out of the protected area.

But he didn't want to go back like this.

If the red mist is allowed to continue to spread, the worst thing that could happen is that the range of activities of underground mutated creatures will continue to expand, even his tree house will be affected!

The spread of this red mist must be stopped!

Fortunately, the red mist is only spreading near the hills. Even though Xu Xin's current location is only a hundred meters away from the hills, the surrounding air is not dyed red, and only a faint fragrance can be smelled.

But after taking a look at the salt mine cave, which was still filled with red mist, Xu Xin was a little helpless.

You should at least see what's going on inside, right?

He suddenly thought that these monsters emerged from the ground. If they flew in, wouldn't they be triggered?

"Little bat, you fly in and take a look. Fly higher. If necessary, fly back directly." Xu Xin said to the bat on his shoulder.

The bat responded with a thin scream, flapped its wings, and flew into the red mist-filled area.

As Xu Xin guessed, this little bat did not attract the attention of underground creatures. It flew several times in the air, and no vine came out to attack it.

At this time, a small bird with no attack power nearby chirped twice. It was probably attracted by the flying bat and flew into the red mist with it.

Suddenly, a slender blood-striped vine emerged from the cracked ground, impaling the bird directly and bringing it back underground.

Underground monsters will attack creatures in the air.

Perhaps it was because the blood-striped bats were also a type of mutant creature and were too weak compared to Mimi Silver King, so they had no desire to let them attack.

"Little bat, go see what's in the cave!"

The bat flapped its wings and flew into the salt mine cave.

The entrance to the cave was filled with red mist. Xu Xin could not see anything and could only wait anxiously.

He now only has a flying contracted beast called the bat. During the rainy season, he also discovered that this bat had its own consciousness, so he could no longer treat it as a tool bat. So he really doesn't want anything to happen to the bat.

After more than ten seconds passed, the bat flapped its wings and flew out of the red mist, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The bat passed through the red mist unharmed and landed on Xu Xin's shoulder.

"Coco, let's talk."

"嘤!"

The shrill sounds of bats and cocoa's squeaks kept ringing, and Xu Xin quickly understood the situation in the cave.

The hole in the cave has expanded again. In the morning, it was only about two meters in diameter, but now, it has basically occupied the entire ground deep in the cave!

In the cave, the red mist continued to spread outwards, making it impossible for the bats to see clearly what was deep in the cave.

These are the general situations.

Let's walk around first. There may be places that are not affected by the red mist, and maybe we can go into the resource area to have a look.

Riding on the Silver King, Xu Xin was about a hundred meters away from the hills, exploring around the hilly area, looking for a point where he could break through.

As he got farther and farther away from the salt mine cave entrance, the red mist gradually faded.

This also made Xu Xin breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that in this circle of hills, more than one hole would spew red mist outwards.

At present, it seems that only the salt mine cave that looks like a giant mouth is producing red mist.

Finally, between two hills, Xu Xin found an entrance where the red mist was very thin, and said to Mimi, who had been following behind her: "Mimi, go in and take a look again."
< br>

Although Mimi is not allowed to be touched, she is very obedient. This time it did not rush in quickly, but walked in slowly.

Nothing happened.

Xu Xin's eyes lit up: "You can go deep here!"

Perhaps only places with very dense red mist can protect those underground creatures and allow them to appear in the protected area of ​​the tree house.

The weather tonight is also key. There is basically no wind, which allows the fog to gather at the entrance of the mine. If the wind is stronger, the fog will be blown away.

Without saying a word, Xu Xin rode the Silver King into the faint red mist.

At this time, his watch vibrated, and it was a voice call from Ji Chaoyang.

"How is it? Is there anything going on over there?" Xu Xin asked before the other party could speak.

"The situation is very strange." Ji Chaoyang's voice was also solemn, "The appearance of the altar has completely changed."

Um?

What's going on?

Thank you to [Emperor of Pigs] for the reward of 100 starting coins, thank you for your support!

I will post two more chapters with over 3,000 words. Today is another 12,000+ day (ω). I suddenly have to go out tonight for something. I can’t type many words at night. The saved manuscripts are basically gone, so I may post them later tomorrow, but don’t worry. It will be less (-ω-`)
