Chapter 165 Giant Pangolin
Xu Xin told all his experiences and conjectures in [Explorer].
There is still no news about Ji Chaoyang.
Qin Yunlong: "It turns out to be like this. Doesn't that mean that the life and death of people who are unable to get out are completely controlled by others?"
Qi Xuefei: "This...those vines below are actually the roots of the tree house. This is too scary."
Li Wenxi: "I have all these pieces here. I have tried the effect, and it is perfect! I just set up a grill by the window of the tree house and grilled it, and a thick white smoke came out from the surrounding area. The vines have all retracted to the ground!”
Zhao Xiaochuan: "This...is this solved? So am I fishing this time? It feels so comfortable to be led by a big boss."
Xu Xin: "Don't use it now. Use this to drive away the vines when they start to attack."
At this time, Wang Lei and Wen Guixin also appeared.
Wang Lei: "Oh my god, am I not the savior?"
Wen Guixin: "This...it takes so much effort to work for everyone!"
Xu Xin saw these two people showing up and asked, "How is the situation over there?"
Wang Lei: "Don't worry, Brother Xin, the big heart has already started to be grilled below. I listened to you and fired a few flaming crossbow bolts at it when we met. The vines were set on fire without even reacting, haha."
Wen Guixin: "I have already taken care of all the vines here, and I just killed this big heart. This is a lot of points. But... we don't have your purple-level table, so we can't trade on the spot... Do we need to do it once?" Is it too much trouble to move back all at once?”
Wang Lei: "It's not too troublesome. Your body has been strengthened so many times. You should be able to move a hundred kilograms now. The weight of the backpack is only 10%. You can move a ton at a time. It's not far from the tree house. You can move a Just a dozen times or so, it’ll be done within an hour!”
Wen Guixin: "I...you are really a group of good people. Forget it, just move it. Even if you don't share it with those people, this thing will be useful to us in the future. By the way, since we can get rid of the vines, give it to them Click on the pieces and let them go out and fight!”
Li Wenxi: "No, no, the vines have just retracted below the ground. I went down and tried it, and it was possible to step on it under the canopy of the treehouse. But when I went outside, even though the vines had retracted underground, they would still come out. It almost happened. Hurt me!”
Wen Guixin: "That's it, there's nothing we can do... Hey, I found the seed Xu Xin mentioned!"
Xu Xin's lips curled up, how could he be working for everyone? This seed is the biggest gain for them when they go out, which is equivalent to a large yard on the ground!
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Wow, what a loss. If I had known, I wouldn't have given the opportunity to Wang Lei."
Wang Lei: "Hey, you may not be able to rush out. It took a lot of effort for me to get out, and I was almost tied directly in by those vines."
Xu Xin lay on the sofa for a few more minutes before sitting up.
There was one last cave that he had not yet explored, and he had to take a look. Although there was no heart in the first cave, there was a red mist flower that released red mist that enhanced the abilities of mutated creatures, which also gave him a lot of gain.
There must be something good in this third hole.
The four beasts all thought they would not go out again. Silver King and Mimi both lay in the corner and yawned, while Coco was rolling around on the sofa and next to him. Ah Fu was not in the house and should have been hanging under the tree house. .
"Let's go, there is one last hole. Let's come back and rest after exploring." Xu Xin stood up.
Hearing what he said, Coco climbed directly onto his shoulders, Silver King also stood up, and Mimi stretched and walked lazily to his side.
After bringing the three beasts down and calling Ah Fu, Xu Xin climbed onto the back of the Silver King. One person and four beasts soon arrived at the third cave, which was the cave where the Silver King discovered.
"Hey!" Coco shouted just before Xu Xin was about to enter, warning him of danger.
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that Coco had said before that there were dangers in the three caves, so he didn't know which cave actually contained a heart, so he tried them one by one.
"Keke, is this dangerous, or is the heart dangerous?" Xu Xin asked, touching Coco's little head lying on the back of Silver King's neck.
"Uh...huh!" Coco turned around and pointed her little paw in the direction of the second hole, where the heart was originally located.
It seems that the strongest guy has been killed by him.
Then there was nothing to be afraid of. No more wasting time, Xu Xin held the crossbow and lay on the Silver King.
"Mimi, lead the way, let's rush in directly!"
"Meow!" Mimi responded, leading Ah Fu into the cave, followed closely by the Silver King.
There is not much difference in the passages of the three underground caves.
Soon, within a few dozen seconds, they arrived at the depths of the cave.
Like the other two underground caves, the deepest part of this underground cave is also a hall-like space, but this time the underground space is empty and there is nothing.
"...Empty?" Xu Xin frowned.
No, it shouldn't be empty. How could being empty make Cocoa feel dangerous?
Xu Xin observed her surroundings and finally noticed something strange on the wall.
It was also thanks to his continuous vision enhancement today that he was able to see that the soil texture and color of one place on the wall were slightly different from other places. The difference was very small, especially in this dark underground, it was basically invisible.
The difference is like the difference between soil that has been turned and refilled and soil that has not been turned over.
In front of the unusual wall, Xu Xin took out a spear and flicked it.
With a crash, half of the abnormally colored part collapsed. He poked it a few more times with his gun, and a hole about two meters high appeared in front of him.
Could it be that these holes were drilled by pangolins? But why is it blocked?
Silver King was lying quietly next to him, while Mimi was pacing back and forth by the entrance of the cave. Looking into the depths of the entrance, it suddenly stopped and shrank back slightly.
This was not an act of fear, but of preparation. It gave Xu Xin the feeling of a lurking tiger, trying to kill its prey with one strike!
"Ugh!" Coco also pointed at the largest hole and shouted.
The hole was two meters long and wide, enough for Xu Xin and the four beasts to enter together. There is a corner after more than ten meters inside the cave, and you can't see any further.
Want to go in and have a look?
Suddenly, a big head emerged from the corner and gradually revealed its whole body.
The scales on its body were covered with dust, and the blood lines looked very inconspicuous under the dust, but the two sharp claws were unusually clean, and the proportions were a bit exaggerated.
The pangolin, which has always been ridiculously large, is three meters long including its tail!
Part of the body has been strengthened to become bigger and stronger. Even if this pangolin is not an intermediate mutant beast, it is almost the same as Mimi and Silver King before the upgrade.
Moreover, this is probably the largest individual within the same race.
After seeing them, the pangolin was not afraid and even walked slowly towards them.
"Ha--" Mimi, covered in hair, huffed at the pangolin, and then slapped it.
The pangolin did not hide and was slapped to the ground by Mimi. However, its whole body was covered in scales, and Mimi only made a tentative attack without extending its claws, so it was not injured at all. It turned over and walked towards Xu Xin again.
This time, even the Silver King bared his fangs and let out a threatening growl.
"Wait a moment, don't take action!" Xu Xin stopped Silver King and Mimi who were about to attack the pangolin, and stepped forward. He was wearing his own scale armor, so he was not afraid of the big pangolin suddenly attacking him.
After getting closer, Xu Xin noticed that many of the pangolin's scales were broken. This is definitely not one that was just hit by Mimi's claw, but one that has been broken for a long time.
What was bullying this pangolin?
The pangolin stretched out its claws, tickled his scales, then turned and walked into the cave.
This is, you want him to follow?
"Hey!" Coco pushed Xu Xin's cheek and shook his head to say no. He could feel the crisis in the cave.
"It's not as good as the heart, right?" Xu Xin looked at the pangolin's back and asked with narrowed eyes.
"...Huh." Coco hesitated for a moment and nodded her head.
"That's okay, let's go in together!" Xu Xin agreed and tightened the crossbow in his hand.
With the explosive crossbow bolt in hand, even the heart can be exploded by it, so there is no need to be timid.
The pangolin stopped at the corner and looked back at him, as if waiting for him to follow.
"Let's go, let's follow!"
Just as Xu Xin was about to follow, Mimi jumped in front of him and entered the cave first.
It seems that Mimi is still worried about his safety. Xu Xin smiled and followed Mimi into the cave.
Seeing them following, the pangolin quickened its steps and led the way.
The cave has many twists and turns, and there are many forks. It looks like the underground maze that I walked through before. Xu Xin silently memorized the road in her mind, and drew a mark on the edge of the cave every time she passed a fork.
Mimi stopped at a fork in the road and looked at the fork in the road that the giant pangolin did not take. Her body suddenly became tense.
Xu Xin frowned, stepped forward and followed Mimi's gaze, her pupils immediately tightened, and she took a sharp breath.
The fork was still dark inside, a flat space like a one-story office building, only two or three meters high, but very large.
With his night vision and vision enhancement, he could see that there were densely packed pangolins lying in this space!
These pangolins range from big to small, and they are all covered in red stripes!
He even saw a huge pangolin lying in the deepest part. The height alone was almost three meters high, and its body length was at least ten meters.
And unlike other pangolins, this pangolin has no blood stripes on its body, but it is extremely huge.
...A giant pangolin like the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake and the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream? !
The big pangolin walking in front saw that he did not follow, but looked at the space. He immediately ran back anxiously and hooked his armor, as if he didn't want him to disturb the group inside.
Xu Xin took a breath and continued to follow the pangolin.
That giant beast was not something he could deal with. However, Coco said that the danger level here is lower than that of the heart. If it is a giant beast, how can it be lower than that of the heart?
Could it be a neutral unit like the giant crocodile?
But why would a neutral unit get mixed up with a group of mutated beasts?
Unfortunately, the map couldn't see the light spots underground. He couldn't distinguish them by relying on the map, so he had no choice but to avoid provoking them.
After turning a few more corners, the pangolin finally stopped at the end of a passage.
"This is..." Xu Xin's pupils trembled.
At the end of this passage, there is a small grass nest, in which lie two very small pangolins. The little pangolins moved a few times when they saw someone coming, which was a bit cute.
"This is...your child?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
The big pangolin moved its head slightly, as if nodding in recognition, and then raised the grass nest in front of Xu Xin.
"Are you going to entrust your child to me?" Xu Xin understood what the pangolin meant. (End of chapter)
