Chapter 223 The flickering blood pattern
"Let's talk about cooperation." Seeing that Li Yajun's mood was basically stable, Xu Xin said.
"Hmm...Okay, um...what you said on the regional channel before, let us go and develop together, is it true?" Li Yajun looked at the two of them vaguely.
"Of course it's true," Li Wenxi patted her chest, "We never lie! But..."
Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin. She wanted to explain the situation of the parasitic tree house clearly to Li Yajun.
"Xu Xin, let's tell her clearly about the parasitic tree house." Li Wenxi tugged on Xu Xin's finger and whispered.
"... Come on, this kind of thing should really be explained clearly." Xu Xin looked at her helplessly. No matter how quiet you are, people can still hear you.
But he didn't object.
"Parasite Tree House...what's wrong?" Li Yajun looked at Li Wenxi with some doubts. Then she seemed to understand what the two of them meant, and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Are you talking about the function being restricted? I know this. , I don’t care about this.”
"No, actually, there are other problems."
Ji Chaoyang only said on the regional channel that the functions of the parasitic tree house will be restricted by the main tree house, but he did not say that the owner of the main tree house is the higher-level owner of the parasitic tree house and can do everything the owner of the parasitic tree house can do. You can even change the owner of the parasitic treehouse.
We didn't mention it on the regional channel because we were afraid of negative public opinion, which would lead to many survivors who wanted to come being led away by public opinion and deterred. Now that we are face to face, there is no interference from other people. It is good to make it clear. If she really doesn't want to, then forget it.
Of course, this is only the treatment for people in the same area. People from different areas will die if they don't come, and there is no need to negotiate.
Li Wenxi told her the situation in detail.
"So, you still have to think clearly whether you want to come or not. Once you come, you can't regret it." Li Wenxi picked up Coco, who was still sulking on Xu Xin's lap, and turned her over. He came over and rubbed its belly and said to Li Yajun.
"Hey~" Keke immediately lost his anger when his belly was touched, and he squinted his eyes comfortably to enjoy it.
Li Yajun lowered his head and thought.
She doesn't want to be alone anymore, but the price of this cooperation is indeed a bit high.
If the situation she knew before was only equivalent to the boss and the employee, then the current situation is the status gap between parents and children who are not yet independent.
Moreover, without the constraints of family ties and laws, if the owner of the main tree house is more ruthless, he is basically like a slave owner and a slave, and there is a risk of being abandoned at any time.
After all, as long as the owner of the parasitic tree house is changed, the owner of the original tree house is directly equivalent to losing the tree house on which he depends for survival.
"...Can I go to your protected area?" Li Yajun looked up at Li Wenxi.
She felt that if the other party was a girl about the same age as her and the girl in front of her, there shouldn't be any big problem.
"Of course!" Li Wenxi replied immediately, but she also immediately explained the situation on her side, "But I want to make it clear to you, my side is about mining and smelting, can you do it? Or not? Like it, but can’t do it?”
"It can be done!" Li Yajun looked at Li Wenxi and nodded affirmatively, "No matter what I do, I just want to survive with the right person."
What he said... Xu Xin glanced at her and thought she wanted to be his love rival.
"That's good!" Li Wenxi glanced at Xu Xin proudly, making him dumbfounded, "Actually, I wanted to take you to my protected area, so I can't take advantage of this guy!"
Li Yajun breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "That's good, thank you, I'll go with you, then... do you want me to dig up my tree house and go with you now?"
It seemed that she really couldn't wait to leave.
"No, not yet." Xu Xin suddenly spoke.
"...Huh?" Li Yajun's expression froze.
"It's true that we can't do it now. We have other things to do today." Li Wenxi also nodded. She also wanted to see Sister Xue Fei. She couldn't take her with her, right?
When the members of the Explorer meet, they have to discuss some things about their abilities. It is definitely not possible to bring others with you.
"We are now going to find another [Explorer] member. It is not yet confirmed whether the protected area is connected. We may encounter danger on the way and we cannot take you with us." Xu Xin explained, "Later today, we should Return the way we came, and I’ll take you with me when the time comes.”
"Ah...that's it." Li Yajun breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little uneasy and asked with some anxiety, "Then when can you return..."
"Don't worry, since we said we welcome all survivors in Area 188, we won't break our promise." Xu Xin said with a smile, "We will definitely be able to bring you to her protected area within today. The place we left Just wait in the tree house for a while.”
Li Wenxi raised her left wrist and pointed at her watch: "I have already sent you a private message. We can contact you at any time!"
Li Yajun nodded vigorously: "Okay, then I won't go anywhere today, I will just wait for you in the tree house!"
"By the way," Xu Xin had been concerned about the abnormality of Silver King just now, so she asked, "During the previous activities, did anything unusual happen near your tree house?"
Just when Li Wenxi was chatting with her, he had been looking at the tree house, and at the same time looking at everything outside the tree house through the window next to it.
Although the strangeness that King Yin had just felt had subsided, he still felt that this incident was unusual.
The blood patterns on the mutated creatures will not light up for no reason.
The surrounding area is deserted, the only difference is the tree house.
But unfortunately, his identification ability told him that there was no resource area nearby. Except for the yellow light of a piece of alchemical material found under the ground not far away, he did not notice anything strange nearby. .
That patch of light was very similar to the one near Xu Xin's tree house, and it was probably a coal mine.
However, isn't there someone who is here every day? Just ask her.
"Something unusual?" Li Yajun looked at Xu Xin doubtfully. She thought for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "What is considered unusual? To me, everything that happened these days is... Very unusual.”
"Um..."
Indeed, what happened near the tree house was nothing new.
He thought for a while, gave an example and asked: "For example...before the defense war, have you ever seen mutant beasts near here, on the ground?"
"Mutated beast?" Li Yajun subconsciously looked at the Silver King. At this time, the Silver King was lying behind Xu Xin and Li Wenxi, quietly listening to the conversation of several people. When Li Yajun looked over, he let out an "ouch".
"Probably not...Ah, your wolf, why do the patterns on its body light up!"
What?
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi immediately looked back at Silver King at the same time. Sure enough, the blood lines on Silver King's body that had just dimmed were slowly lighting up again.
"Hey!" Coco also screamed. It jumped onto Silver King's back, and gently scratched the blood lines on Silver King's back twice with its small paws.
"Ouch?" Seeing several people looking at it, Silver King called out in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
Apparently, it didn't feel anything unusual.
Xu Xin frowned.
What is going on? Is there something special around here? This has never happened to Silver King.
If the Silver King's own abilities were enhanced and evolved, then it should be aware of it. But the problem now is that no, Silver King himself can't feel the changes in his body.
It was basically certain that something nearby had affected it, something similar to the red mist ejected from the salt mine cave last time, like the huge mouth of the "mountain giant", was affecting it.
The last time the blood patterns on Silver King and Mimi's bodies lit up and their strength increased, they were affected by the red mist there. Xu Xin, who was riding on the Silver King at that time, could clearly feel its increased speed and explosive power.
This time he didn't feel anything, but he found that the Silver King ran for dozens of kilometers without any fatigue at all, as if his physical strength had been maintained at its peak.
Is this... an increase in physical strength alone?
If there really is such a resource nearby that can affect mutated creatures, then he must find this resource.
Although for Silver King, increasing physical strength recovery may not improve much, but Mimi is different. Its flaw is that its endurance is very poor. It is also because of this reason that I did not bring it with me this time.
If it has this kind of resource in hand, it can always maintain its strongest combat power!
Moreover, if there is such a thing nearby, it will not only be his contracted beast that can be enhanced, but also the enemy's mutated creatures will be enhanced!
If there is an army of mutant beasts attacking in the future, their physical strength will still be endless...
That is really terrible, you must get this kind of thing into your own hands!
Of course, it may not be the result of actual resources, but that this area is special, which would be more troublesome...
"Yin Wang, do you still feel nothing special?" Xu Xin asked.
"Ouch..." Silver King stood up and shook his head.
"This..." Li Wenxi asked worriedly, "Is there anything going on with King Silver?"
"...At present, there are only benefits." Xu Xin touched his chin.
Forget it, it’s better to go find Qi Xuefei first.
If the Silver King still reacts like this when we get to Qi Xuefei's place, it means it is its own problem. If not...
Then it's time to search the area properly.
Li Yajun came down from her tree house with two people and two animals.
Xu Xin turned on the wolf and said to her: "We will pick you up within today. In the meantime, help me carefully observe anything abnormal around you."
"Okay." Li Yajun nodded, and then she couldn't help but said, "Can you let me touch this wolf? It's called Silver King, right?"
"Of course." Xu Xin nodded. Silver King is not as acquainted with life as Coco. In fact, it has a similar personality to Gouzi. Anyone who is not hostile to it can touch him.
In fact, dogs were domesticated through wolves, and there was no reproductive isolation between the two. Therefore, after Silver King was domesticated by him, it was normal for the majestic Wolf King to become a bit like a dog.
"It's great... you are really strong, able to tame such a strong mutated creature." Li Yajun sighed while stroking Silver King's head, "I actually like animals very much, and my major is animal science."< br>
She just touched it twice and then stopped, not intending to take up Xu Xin's time.
"Oh?" Xu Xin glanced at her more.
Animal science should be a major related to breeding and animal husbandry, right?
He is considered a talent, and they will definitely engage in breeding in the future.
Although the undergraduate major basically has nothing to do with practical operations, as long as she is not a 60-point-long-lived person and really learns some theoretical knowledge, it will be better than someone like him who grew up in the city and has only raised pet cats since childhood. People are stronger.
Besides, they are all between 18 and 30 years old. It is difficult to find real experts in this age group. Those who have learned a lot are already considered talents.
"After that, if we want to breed, you have to give us more opinions!" Li Wenxi was pulled onto the wolf's back by Xu Xin, leaned into Xu Xin's arms, and said to Li Yajun who was standing on the ground.
"Uh...I'll try my best..." Li Yajun said a little awkwardly.
Although her grades were very good and she had finished her junior year before coming to this world and had basically completed all the courses, undergraduate knowledge and real practice were really two different things. Without experiencing an internship in my senior year, the knowledge I learned as an undergraduate is really just knowledge.
Fortunately, she grew up in a rural area and had raised poultry such as chickens and ducks, so she had some practical experience.
"I also know that my undergraduate degree is not good, but after all, I am more professional than us!" Li Wenxi smiled and waved to her, "Then we are leaving, and we will come back to pick you up soon! Take you back to dig Mine, hehe.”
"Yes! I understand, I'll wait for you to come back!" Li Yajun waved to the two people who were riding away until their backs were invisible.
"It's great that we can be with each other in this world..." Li Yajun looked enviously towards the direction the two were leaving.
