Chapter 183 Treehouse Core
The owner of this treehouse is not from their area?
No, this is the tree house closest to his. How could it not be in the same area as him? Is he on the edge of the two regions?
Not right either.
During previous activities during the rainy season, he had seen the strong light emitted by the lightning rod on the roof of Li Wenxi's tree house. Her tree house was also in this direction and further away.
How could this tree house between him and Li Wenxi not be from their area?
"嘤!"
Just when Xu Xin was confused, Coco on his shoulder suddenly jumped up and quickly climbed into the crown of the tree along the riddled tree trunk.
Ah Fu also flew up and got in with Coco.
"Huh?" Xu Xin found that when he looked inside from the tree crown that Ke Ke had opened, he seemed to see that it was very dilapidated inside.
Being eaten by ants?
The trunk of the low tree house was only three meters long, and there were various potholes and holes on the trunk that could be stepped on, so Xu Xin also climbed up in two or three times.
Peeling open the canopy, Xu Xin was surprised to find that the walls and floors of the house in the canopy had been riddled with holes. Only the broken frame was left to support the yellowing canopy outside.
This is a damaged treehouse in every sense of the word.
Xu Xin got into the tree house through the large hole in the broken floor.
There are also some synthesis tables, beds and other things scattered in the tree house. Because the ants are only interested in the tree house, these things have been preserved.
But he didn't see the body of the dead treehouse owner, but there were a few green-level backpacks left by the treehouse owner. They contained some relatively basic supplies, which were of little use to him.
Afu flew several times in the center of the tree house and landed on the ground. Coco also ran two times and finally sat in the middle of the tree house, scratching the ground twice with his little paws.
Xu Xin threw away her backpack, avoided the trap-like loopholes on the ground, walked to Coco and squatted down.
"What's wrong?" He looked at the place where Coco scratched, which was the undamaged tree house floor.
"嘤! 嘘嘤!" Coco explained to Xu Xin while waving her little paws.
"You mean, there are good things down here!" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head fiercely.
This location is not ordinary. This is the center of the tree house, and below is the trunk of the tree house.
Could it be that there is something good in the trunk of the tree house?
By the way, this tree house is only green-level, so it should be cut down, right?
No, what if the surrounding protected areas suddenly disappear if we cut them down? That’s not asking for death.
Xu Xin took out his iron ax and decided to cut open the floor to see what was underneath.
"Coco, stay away!" Xu Xin waved the axe.
"Hey!" Coco quickly ran to the side, almost falling through the hole in the floor, and climbed back up in a hurry.
"Crack!" With just one strike of the ax, the floor cracked. Another strike of the ax caused sawdust to fly, and the floor was chopped into several pieces.
Xu Xin picked up the broken floor and threw it aside, and his true appearance was revealed under the floor.
He was surprised to find that the tree trunk under the floor was actually hollow!
The trunk of the low tree house is about one meter thick, and in the middle of the trunk, there is a hole of more than half a meter in diameter, leading straight to the ground. Xu Xin looked inside and saw a bead emitting a bright white light at the very bottom, half of which was even buried in the soil.
The bright white light is the real light, not the grade light that his discernment ability can see. But the strange thing is that, like the tree house seeds, Xu Xin cannot tell the grade of this bead.
The diameter of this tree hole is half a meter, which is enough for him to jump in. After all, the width of human shoulders is only thirty or forty centimeters.
But Coco had already jumped in before him, landed at the bottom of the tree hole, and curiously patted the bead buried in the soil.
"Coco, bring up the beads." Xu Xin called from above.
"Hey!" Coco responded, using her little paws to pull the bright white egg-sized beads out of the soil, holding them in her mouth, and then jumped up from the left and right sides of the tree hole.
"Be good!" Xu Xin touched Coco's little head with her hand and took the bead from its mouth.
[The core of the low tree house: The core that provides growth energy for the tree house. The tree house will die immediately after being taken out. Depleting the energy in the core of a low treehouse can upgrade a blue-level basic material supply to purple level. 】
Xu Xin: "!!!"
This core can promote the blue level to the purple level!
The so-called basic materials are materials obtained through mining such as wood, stone, ore, rather than materials and tools obtained from hunting or making.
But this is also very good. With basic materials, he can make purple-level tools!
Wait...
After the core is taken out, the tree house dies immediately...
Damn it, isn't he no longer in the protected area? !
Xu Xin quickly touched the trunk of the tree house with her hand and got the hint.
[Dead low treehouse (grey): A treehouse with its core taken out, completely dead. Even if its roots die, they still cling to the land. Although it is no longer able to stop the attack of underground creatures, the underground creatures do not dare to get out of the ground in areas with dense tree roots, so it can still play a certain protective role. 】
"This..." Xu Xin's expression was a little strange.
What this introduction means is that the dead tree house still has a protected area, but it is just a bluff protected area simply because underground creatures dare not come out!
But they can actually come out. Once they appear on this land, they will no longer be sucked into dry shells. It’s just that no underground creature dares to be the first to come out.
"There is such an operation..." Xu Xin was speechless.
After looking inside the tree hole again and looking around the inside of the tree house to make sure there was nothing else, he hugged Coco and Afu and jumped down from the tree house.
Silver King was lying under the tree house. When he saw Xu Xin coming down, he stood up and said "ouch".
Mimi has disappeared.
After looking at the map, Xu Xin found that it was nearby, wandering around his position and sightseeing around. Although the scene in the jungle has basically remained unchanged, it is still a good place for Mimi, who has been underground for decades.
Xu Xin didn't call it back, so he let it go, and it could help him investigate the surroundings.
Looking back, I saw that the already yellowing crown of the tree house had turned into dead leaves. When the wind blew, one of the dead leaves fell off. Within a few dozen seconds, the entire tree house turned into a bare tree. shelf.
At the same time, the dilapidated tree house above the tree trunk also made tiny, dense crisp sounds, which he could hear very clearly with his enhanced hearing.
In the end, the entire tree house cracked open like a dry branch and shattered into pieces of wood on the ground.
The double-story tree house that was originally nearly ten meters high now only has a three-meter-long trunk that looks riddled with holes.
Of course, it's not just the trunk. There are also roots that spread for three kilometers under the land. Although they are dead, they are still protecting the land.
As for why it is three kilometers, it is because the owner of this tree did not survive last night's attack. The tree house must not have been upgraded successfully, so the scope of the protected area should be about three kilometers.
... From this point of view, this tree house protected area does not actually overlap with his protected area, that is, it is just bordering.
Fortunately, his protected area has a radius of nine kilometers, which is larger than that of ordinary survivors, otherwise he would really not be able to survive.
After understanding his current situation, Xu Xin felt relieved and began to look at the core of the treehouse in his hand, which exuded a bright white light.
The introduction said that by using up all the energy, a piece of blue-level material can be promoted to purple-level. In other words, a core is actually equivalent to a purple-level resource.
Or maybe the energy in the core of the treehouse can... be replenished?
It would be great if it could really be replenished. Wouldn't it be possible to continuously produce purple-level materials!
Thinking of this, Xu Xin clenched her hands holding the core and took a deep breath.
Purple-level materials can be used to make purple-level tools, weapons, and armor.
Purple level and blue level are a huge watershed in terms of functionality.
The scale armor suit he is wearing is a purple-level suit, and he understands how powerful the purple-level armor is.
Green-level suits have no abilities, while blue-level suits have one ability: body amplification. For example, blue-level iron armor or steel armor provides an increase in strength, while blue-level leather armor reduces the sense of presence and improves stealth ability.
And his purple-level scale armor set not only improves his strength, but also gives him the ability to move freely underwater like a fish, and even has a deterrent effect on aquatic creatures. This is equivalent to providing a super power!
From the perspective of weapons, blue-level weapons are far more powerful than green-level weapons. Perhaps purple-level weapons will also start to have special effects.
Not to mention purple-level tools. A purple-level boning knife can cut purple-level materials, and a purple-level carving knife can carve purple-level crystals!
Production tools don't matter. A blue-level ax can cut purple-level wood, and a blue-level pickaxe can mine purple-level ores. This is normal. Production tools can definitely mine higher-level materials, otherwise the materials cannot be obtained.
But...even Li Wenxi, whose family is full of minerals, seems to have never mined purple-grade ore so far. Of course, maybe she didn't say it, but Xu Xin felt it was unlikely. After all, she basically couldn't use the metal block, and there was no benefit in hiding it.
Holding the egg-sized core in his hand, which exuded a bright white light, Xu Xin suddenly felt like a storm was about to come.
The temptation of this thing is too great.
Everyone wants to become stronger. Nowadays, most people wear and carry green-level armor. Even these people in [Explorers] may have a set of blue-level leather armor. When Li Wenxi wanted to give away a blue-level iron armor set, Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan He and Qin Yunlong had been arguing for a long time over who should go out.
It was obvious what would happen if they learned that such powerful resources could be obtained from someone else's tree house.
Conflicts between people may be about to begin.
This second stage is really full of dangers.
He didn't even know whether he should tell the other people in [Explorers] this news.
Putting the core into his backpack, Xu Xin decided to return and try out the function of this core.
When he turned around, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he turned back sharply to look at the roots of the tree house. If he uses a shovel to shovel the tree house, can he get the tree house seeds?
Thank you to [zz9] for the reward of 1,500 starting coins, [Karena] for the reward of 500 starting coins, and [Woqi] for the reward of 100 starting coins. Thank you to the three of them for their support! Thank you!
