Chapter 155 The danger hidden deep
If it weren't for the fear of causing a jungle fire, Xu Xin would have wanted to shoot a few flaming arrows downwards to ignite all these dense blood-thorn vines!
He is not the only one in this situation on the regional channel.
"There are so many vines coming out! Are these thorn vines? They are full of thorns!"
"Oh my god, good news for patients with trypophobia!"
"This...these thorny vines actually attacked the vines that appeared before!"
"Same here, those red patterned vines were all torn into pieces!"
"Phew, my ears are finally quiet. These patterned vines have been beating the tree trunks of the tree house persistently. It's really noisy."
"By the way, why don't these thorny vines attack the tree house?"
"Oh?" Xu Xin opened his eyes, "The first thing the blood-thorn vines did after they emerged was to kill the remaining blood-striped vines first?"
The blood-striped vines on his side had been cleared by him a long time ago, so the blood-thorn vines on his side were just swaying gently in the wind, without any tendency or intention to launch an attack.
Just as he speculated, although the blood-striped vines and blood-thorn vines were both underground monsters, they did not belong to the same lineup, and they would kill each other if they had the chance.
It seems that the relationship between underground monsters is also extremely complicated.
Just like the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake and the giant crocodile at the bottom of the creek, although they are both giant beasts, one will show a bright red dot on the map and is a real enemy, while the other even has a lot of goodwill toward him. Will help him, and also leave him some purple-level resources.
Perhaps, those monsters underground are not all enemies.
Of course, the cluster of bloody thorny vines under the tree house must be the enemy. Seeing the dense red dots on the map made Xu Xin suffer from trypophobia.
【Explorer】In the group.
Wang Lei: "Oh my gosh, I just cleaned up the place, and this pile popped up again. These vines will automatically help clean up the previous batch. If I had known, I wouldn't have to waste so much effort!"
Qin Yunlong: "At least you got the materials, right? They are the raw materials for incendiary arrows and explosives."
Wang Lei: "...I haven't had time to clean up the vines on the ground. I just killed them. I thought about killing them all and then dealing with them together. But as soon as I dealt with a few of them, they came out. I had no choice but to come up. I really What a big loss..."
Qi Xuefei: "Um, do you still have the vines that you have processed? I just discovered that the remaining part of the vines can be used as one of the raw materials for low-level wound medicine."
Wen Guixin: "Ah, you said it too late. I put it down and didn't bring it up."
Li Wenxi: "I have some, and I'll give them to you."
Xu Xin did not expect that the vines were still low-level wound medicine. He looked out the window and saw that the dead vines were still piled in a circle under the tree house.
Xu Xin decided to strike first. He can make explosive crossbow bolts and should be able to deal with the bloody thorn vines outside.
Xu Xin sent a message to Li Wenxi: "How much saltpeter do you still have? Is it too much?"
Li Wenxi replied instantly: "There are a lot of green-grade saltpeter. I went there twice yesterday and Aniu came back with a lot of it. If you need it, I'll give it to you."
The transaction request directly sent by Li Wenxi gave him fifty kilograms of green-grade saltpeter.
Two kilograms of green grade saltpeter can make 20 explosive arrows, and fifty kilograms can make 500 rounds, which is enough.
"Thank you, give me so much, is it enough for you?"
"Fifty kilograms is too much." Li Wenxi said it didn't matter between the lines.
Okay, it would be nice to have a rich woman whose family owns a mine as a companion.
He now has twenty explosive crossbow bolts in his hand, and he will try the effect first.
Just when he had everything ready and was about to go out, Coco ran over.
"Hey!" Coco did not climb onto his shoulders, but pushed Xu Xin inward, not wanting him to get out.
"What's wrong, Coco?" Xu Xin felt something was wrong.
When he was carving just now, Coco was extremely clingy. When he had nothing to do, he would crawl comfortably on the sofa and never go out of his way to get into his arms.
It acted as if it instinctively sensed danger, so it stuck to Xu Xin's side, and even stayed in his arms while he was carving, just to seek a sense of security.
"Hey!" Coco pointed outside and yelled, then stood up and raised his two paws as if to catch someone.
It is using its method to tell Xu Xin that there are monsters outside, don't go out, it is very dangerous! However, this action is really not a deterrent, but makes people feel more cute.
Although cute, Xu Xin would not pet the cat at this time. He frowned: "You mean, besides those vines, there are other monsters outside, and they are big monsters?"
"Hey!" Coco nodded sharply, and then continued to push Xu Xin's feet, not wanting him to get out.
...In this case, let's observe the situation first. Coco has never missed the opportunity to detect danger.
Picking up Coco who was still pushing her calf, Xu Xin sat back on the sofa.
On the regional channel, everyone was talking about the bloody thorn vines outside, but no one dared to go out, but Xu Xin still noticed something unusual.
The number of people on regional channels is slowly falling one by one.
How did these people die? Xu Xin could only remind them once again on the regional channel not to show their heads or go out. There may be more terrifying things outside.
At the same time, he also posted in the Explorer: "Has anyone gone out yet?"
Li Wenxi: "Sister Guixin should have gone out. She said she wanted to go out and explore the way for us."
Xu Xin glanced at the record, and sure enough, three minutes ago, Wen Guixin had already said that she was going out to hunt the bloodthorn vines.
…Let’s wait until she comes back.
"I understand, you'd better not go out anymore. There may be more terrifying things outside. Without her powerful combat power, it will be very dangerous for you to go out." Xu Xin reminded them.
Wang Lei: "Okay, Brother Xin!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "We are also waiting for the beautiful girl to come back. Let's check the situation first."
Qi Xuefei: "I also think there may be other dangers outside."
A smart choice.
In terms of combat power alone, Wen Guixin was definitely stronger than him. At least he would never dare to rush into the blood-thorn vines and kill them.
Although he has a scale armor, his face is still exposed. There are so many vines. If they restrain his movements and attack his face, he will not be able to resist at all.
Let's wait until she comes back to see what's going on. If she can't come back, then Xu Xin may be in bad luck if she goes out.
I looked at the time, it was already noon, it was time to have lunch.
This time, just eat the blue-level fish maw you obtained earlier.
When he came to the fourth-floor plantation, some of the green-level vegetables he planted were already mature. The blue-level fruit trees in the middle were basically grown and would bear fruit in a few days.
Looking at the small plantation, which was already over 100 square meters and full of greenery, Xu Xin still felt a sense of accomplishment and nodded with satisfaction: "This looks really good!"
When others were completely relying on the jungle for food, he had already had the foresight to build a plantation and ice cellar. These days, he cannot rely on the jungle for food. Most people are hungry, but he can still eat fresh food. vegetable. Although the meat is frozen, the mutated beast meat is extremely delicious, and the frozen version is not bad either.
But fresh meat is better. When this crisis is over and the tree house is upgraded, there may be some more space inside the tree house. Then the extra space can be used as a breeding farm. It will be perfect!
He picked a few vegetables and was about to make a sumptuous lunch, but when he turned around, he saw Coco standing behind him, something strange.
It was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly. The sun shone directly through the glass on the ceiling into the fourth-floor plantation. Even without raising her head, Xu Xin felt dazzling and kept squinting.
But after Coco followed him up, she kept staring blankly at the sky, not caring about the dazzling sunlight at all.
This is not the first time Xu Xin has seen Coco like this. The last time was the night before the rainy season. Coco stared at the bright starry sky for a long time, feeling that there was something on it.
At that time, he asked what Coco was, but Coco couldn't answer, and he didn't even know if it was dangerous.
Xu Xin blocked the sun with her hands and looked up at the sky. There were no clouds, just the blue sky, and nothing else, not even a bird.
"What's wrong, Coco, what are you looking at?" Xu Xin picked up Coco from the ground.
"Huh..." Coco tilted her head like last time, not knowing how to explain it, and finally buried her head in Xu Xin's arms.
Taking one last look at the dazzling sky, Xu Xin stopped worrying about this and turned around and walked down.
Even if there really is something on it, it's not something he can touch now, so he'd better fill his stomach first.
After roasting a piece of meat for Coco and Ah Fu, Xu Xin used the broken fish maw to stir-fry a dish. While eating, she paid attention to the developments outside, on regional channels, and inside the Explorer.
On the regional channel, the total number of people still jumps down by one from time to time, and I don’t know why. So far no one has shared their experience of going out.
Perhaps, it is because no one who went out could come back alive, so this situation occurred.
After eating all the dishes, Xu Xin also felt changes in her body. It was probably a feeling that her breathing became smoother and her lung capacity increased? Not bad, he should be able to dive deeper now.
After clearing away the dishes and sitting on the sofa, Wen Guixin started talking in the group.
"I'm back. These vines are interesting and very aggressive. They are different from the previous ones. They will split and kill more and more."
The more you kill, the more you kill?
However, she did not encounter any large monsters, which made Xu Xin relieved.
Wen Guixin began to tell the details of her experience in these few minutes.
She was wearing a suit of iron armor and holding her strongest weapon. As soon as she went out, she was still hanging in the air without falling when she was violently attacked by the blood-thorn vines. The countless vines below all swung towards her.
Seeing that these vines could attack her, she hung directly under the tree house and fought against the vines with melee weapons.
The corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched. Hanging in the air and fighting vines with melee weapons, the opponent is still a group of blood-thorn vines... This combat power is a bit too outrageous.
Fighting these vines, she suffered serious injuries and killed many vines.
However, during the battle, she was horrified to find that the vines that she had cut into pieces were like earthworms, with each piece still moving and twisting into the cracks in the ground. Then it grew back into a thick blood-thorn vine in a few seconds!
Every part that is cut off has its own life and can grow back into an individual vine!
"Isn't it possible to destroy the roots? Have you tried using explosive arrows?" Xu Xin asked.
"I tried it, but it didn't work. The remaining section will be inserted back into the soil and take on new vitality, as if the land will always provide them with unlimited energy."
Xu Xin fell into deep thought, how to solve this?
At this time, the watch suddenly vibrated. Glancing at it, his eyes narrowed.
It's a private message from Ji Chaoyang!
"Xu Xin, there is a big terror near the tree house!" (End of Chapter)
