Chapter 158: Collective upgrade, stand out from the siege! (4000 words!)
The bodies of Silver King and Mimi have grown bigger again, and the blood-red patterns on their bodies have become more vivid and beautiful. Xu Xin glanced at the map subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that these two guys were still green dots representing their companions.
He is really afraid that these two guys will break the contract after upgrading, especially Mimi. The [Mutated Beast Contract] only takes effect on low-level mutant beasts when used. Now it seems that the increase in strength after the contract will not affect the contract. .
Just after taking two steps, Silver King suddenly burst into flames and rushed over.
"Bang!"
Xu Xin was thrown to the ground, and his back fell to the floor.
"Hey!" Coco was startled, and subconsciously wanted to give Silver King a few claws, but the claws were caught on Silver King's hair and had no attack effect.
Xu Xin did not avoid it, and he did not feel King Yin's malice.
Sure enough, after Yin Wang knocked Xu Xin down, he licked his face and made a purring sound, like a big coquettish dog.
The two wolf fangs that looked thicker and sharper than before were dangling in Xu Xin's face, but they avoided him perfectly.
"Haha, okay, okay!" Xu Xin pushed away Yin Wang's mouth.
Silver King is still the same Silver King, but after transforming into an intermediate mutated beast, his character seems to be more proactive.
Mimi also came over, and her eyes looked at Xu Xin much more cordially than before. Xu Xin noticed that Mimi's front claws had become sharper, stepping on the floor of the tree house and even making several small holes in the floor.
"Mimi, take your claws back, don't touch the floor!" Xu Xin jumped up immediately.
Although the tree house will repair itself, it can't withstand Mimi's step!
Mimi screamed in dissatisfaction.
It has actually retracted its claws halfway, but this upgrade has made its claws more slender and sharper than before, so even if it is retracted, it can still cause considerable damage.
It adjusted its posture and slowly retracted part of the sharp nails on its claws. Although part of it was still exposed, it would no longer cause damage to the tree house floor.
"Huh..." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to worry about Mimi's house being demolished when she walked.
Ah Fu also flew over and landed on Mimi.
"Hey, you've become so big!" Xu Xin was surprised. Just now Ah Fu flapped his wings twice, and he discovered that Ah Fu's wingspan was almost two meters! Moreover, the blood patterns on the inside of the wings are extremely bright, and their appearance is very different from before.
Although he didn't know the type of Ah Fu, it was definitely not a very big bat. Afu was already the biggest one he picked among all the bats, but its wingspan was less than one meter at the beginning, and it was still a little small when standing on his shoulders.
But now, good fellow, he's almost catching up with that bald eagle he's seen.
Ah Fu let out a cry. Even though its body is a lot bigger, its scream is still as high-pitched as ever.
Xu Xin touched Yin Wang's head and said jokingly: "Yin Wang, among the four of you, you are the only one who is not a weirdo."
"Ouch!" Silver King raised his head and shouted.
Isn't it? Coco and Afu are typical moaning monsters. Although Mimi is already a giant, its cry is still a thin cat cry. There is no way, without the vocal structure of the leopard subfamily beasts, it I'm afraid I'll just meow for the rest of my life.
Xu Xin took them to the window and told them his plan to the vines outside.
If you want to break out of this area, you first need a foothold.
He needed to use explosive arrows to blow up the vines in an area under the tree house, blast out a foothold, and take Silver King Mimi down. Then, it was time for them to show off their skills.
These blood-thorn vines are just low-level mutant creatures. Thanks to their large numbers, Silver King and Mimi have now evolved into intermediate mutant beasts. Even their roars can deter them and open a path through the vines. It shouldn't be a big problem to rush out.
"Silver King, try roaring again."
"Ouch? Ouch...Ouch-" Although he didn't understand what Xu Xin was going to do, Silver King still raised his head and roared.
When Silver King roared, the vines under the tree house all shrank down and became shorter.
It seems there is no problem. The two beasts are still very powerful in deterring these blood-thorn vines.
Mimi and Silver King are not ordinary intermediate mutant beasts. They are both the largest individuals in the group. They are born aliens and born very powerful. After becoming mutant beasts, they are naturally enhanced on the basis of their own strength.
Not all mutated beasts of the same level are equally powerful. Just like the intermediate mutated wild cat summoned from the altar, it was slapped to death by a tiger that was not even a mutated beast.
The foundation itself is very important. If you are not strong, it will be very ordinary to become a mutated beast. Silver King and Mimi are among the strongest intermediate mutant beasts, so it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the group of vines below.
Xu Xin suddenly thought of the brown bear. Even if it is not a mutated beast, that bear still possesses extremely powerful power. Whether the current Silver King Mimi can fight it is still unknown.
If he could turn that brown bear into a mutated beast and subdue it, his team's combat effectiveness would definitely increase exponentially. Of course, appetite will also increase exponentially.
By the way, after these two guys upgraded, their appetite has definitely increased again.
Forget it, now is not the time to think about such things.
Xu Xin came to the weapons and armor manufacturing table, consumed all the saltpeter that Li Wenxi had given him before, and added the mutant vine juice to make five hundred explosive crossbow bolts.
After patting the explosive crossbow arrows in his backpack, Xu Xin felt very at ease.
This should be enough.
The best is to use tactics to intersperse, and the best is to cover them with firepower. Since you can cover them with firepower, you don't have to worry about anything else, just blast them!
"Let's go, Coco, don't go, it's very dangerous this time..." "Hey!"
Before Xu Xin could finish speaking, Coco interrupted him with a cry and crawled along his body to his shoulders, indicating that it wanted to go too.
"...You have to protect yourself later." "Hey!"
Forget it, take it with you. Coco has a very strong sense of danger. With it, you may be able to find the "heart" quickly.
After putting on his purple-level scale armor suit, eating all the blue-level fruits, and feeling the amplification effect on his body, Xu Xin gained confidence. He first asked the four beasts to wait at the exit, while he reached out and touched the exit of the tree house without hesitation.
His current position is outside the outer wall of the third floor of the tree house, with a height of nearly 20 meters. This height will not be attacked by these vines. It can be seen that he poked his head out from the window but was not attacked. The attack range of this blood-thorn vine is at least twenty meters high.
Xu Xin did not continue to descend, he planned to blast out a foothold below.
Although the blood-thorn vines below could not attack him, they had already noticed that there was an enemy above their heads. The dozen or so vines directly below Xu Xin all stopped swinging naturally with the wind and stood up in a posture ready to go. The vine body.
Looking at it like that, as long as Xu Xin dares to drop a few meters, they will be thrown directly towards him!
But Xu Xin will not decline. He assembled an explosive crossbow bolt, pointed it at the vines, and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh -" The explosive crossbow bolts shot out like lightning, but the blood-thorn vines were already ready to go. When they saw something coming, several blood-thorn vines threw them fiercely at the flying explosive crossbow bolts, and drew them accurately. On top of the rapidly flying explosive crossbow bolt!
"Boom!" The crossbow arrow was not blown away by these vines, but the moment it came into contact with the first vine, a violent fire broke out and an explosion sounded at the same time.
The air flow generated by the explosion shook Xu Xin's body while hanging in mid-air, and he quickly controlled his roots to stabilize his body.
The fragments of the vines that were drawn towards the explosive crossbow were scattered everywhere, and all the vines that were hit by the explosion were broken into several pieces.
Xu Xin was not in a hurry to send another shot. He wanted to see the regeneration ability of these vines.
Those relatively fine pieces of debris have lost their life. The large broken vines twisted a few times on the ground. They did not die motionless like the previous vines. Instead, they moved towards the ground like a worm. Crawling through the cracks and gaps, and finally inserted into it.
Then, half of the vine began to grow wildly. Within a few seconds, this half of the vine grew into a new vine. The new vines also immediately made a gesture of getting ready to go.
As soon as it was sent down, the vines did not decrease, and there were even a few more vines.
"...This is indeed a bit disgusting." Xu Xin was speechless, and he decided to start covering the area with firepower.
With his current strength, it is completely possible to quickly cock the crossbow in mid-air with no stress points.
Easily load an explosive crossbow bolt and pull the trigger downwards.
The scene just now reappeared, but Xu Xin quickly wound up the string and fired again before they could grow.
This time, another part of the vines whipped out and exploded in the air again.
Then, the third explosive crossbow bolt came again. This time, there were no vines around that could quickly intercept the crossbow bolt. The explosive crossbow bolt shot directly onto the twisting and crawling half vines on the ground.
"Boom!"
These broken vines were bombarded again, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore and were blown into pieces all over the ground without any signs of activity.
But Xu Xin didn't care about this. He never stopped assembling the string. He immediately loaded one up after shooting and continued to shoot at the ground a few meters below him.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Explosive arrows exploded one after another, completely clearing a small area on the ground.
"Now!"
Xu Xin quickly returned to the tree house. Coco jumped on his shoulders the moment he returned to the tree house. The other three beasts were also waiting at the door. He directly led the three beasts down to the ground quickly.
"Ouch -" Silver King roared again, causing the surrounding vines that wanted to attack to freeze. Mimi waved its already extended claws forward without saying a word.
A few piercing cold lights flashed, and all the vines within two meters in front were instantly cut into broken branches! These broken branches are twisting and crawling on the ground, looking for cracks in the ground that they can penetrate into, hoping to regain a new life.
Xu Xin didn't want to worry about them. If they were killed, a steady stream of vines would appear again. He held a crossbow: "Go on, let's rush out!"
The surrounding vines wanted to attack them, but they did not dare to act rashly under the intimidation of the Silver King. Within a few seconds, they advanced more than ten meters.
Xu Xin drew out her long sword and chopped down the vines that were attacking him tentatively, and looked behind her.
A road that had been cleared was once again covered with vines. Only then did he realize that the red awns at the roots of these new vines were even brighter.
"This...the more you kill, the stronger you get, right?" Xu Xin gritted his teeth.
But there is no way, you can't let them attack you. These new vines didn't seem to be very afraid of the Silver King's intimidation, and wanted to rush over directly.
Xu Xin raised her hand and pointed a crossbow behind her.
"Boom!"
The new vines were blown to pieces again, making it impossible to attack them for the time being.
Mimi kept waving its sharp claws forward to clear the way for them. And judging from Mimi's appearance, it didn't feel tired at all. Instead, it screamed every time it waved and grabbed, and the screams were violent and refreshing.
The more I tried to move around, the denser the vines became. The Silver King's howl gradually became unable to suppress the vines. After all, its cry could only intimidate, but could not cause harm. Its main attack relied on biting, and it needed to penetrate deep into the vines. This is not a good idea.
"Hey!" Coco yelled, pointing in a direction.
Among the vines, a blood-striped vine that was thicker than the surrounding vines suddenly swung towards them!
Silver King was well prepared under Coco's reminder, and bit the vine accurately and fiercely. With a "click", the vine broke, half of the vine fell to the ground, and the remaining half shrank back.
With this vine taking the lead, the other vines are even more ready to move.
Suddenly, Ah Fu, who had been in the air, let out a piercing scream, and the vines that were already about to move suddenly froze. Xu Xin saw that there were small cracks on the nearest vines!
"Well done, Fu!" Xu Xin couldn't help shouting. Now Ah Fu's sonic attack is so effective, and most importantly, it doesn't affect him at all!
He didn't dare to use explosive crossbow bolts in front of him for fear of accidentally injuring Mimi, so he kept firing explosive crossbow bolts behind him to prevent the attacks of the stronger vines after rebirth.
From time to time, vines would hit him, but his purple-level armor was not insignificant. It was just that the attacks of low-level mutant creatures were not enough to break through his defenses. As long as he didn't get tied up and attacked the weak points, there would be no problem.
"Quick, we're going out soon!" The explosive arrows in Xu Xin's hands did not stop, and they were bombarded behind him indiscriminately.
With methodical cooperation, Xu Xin and the four beasts forced their way through the vines and broke through the encirclement!
One person and four beasts rushed forward for several dozen meters before Xu Xin turned back and looked at the vines.
The vines returned to their original calmness, swaying gently in the wind. The path they cleared was also filled with new vines in a few seconds.
The treehouse was once again surrounded by dense vines.
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
Now that it's out, it's time to find the "heart" of the vines!
Thanks to [kivor] for the reward of 1,500 starting coins, [With the Light in the Dust] for the reward of 520 starting coins, and [Guanhe 1987] for the reward of 100 starting coins. Thank you to the three of them for their support!
This chapter has been written too much, so I won’t break it into chapters. Let’s post it directly. It’s just a small update, hehe.
