Chapter 245 The purple-black vortex reappears, the secret in the hills (4000 words)
Li Wenxi looked at the salt mines on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was ready to call it a day.
"This should be enough, right?" She nodded with satisfaction and raised her head to ask Xu Xin if it was enough, but found that Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang had run deep into the mine again.
"Didn't these two people agree not to go deeper?" Li Wenxi stamped her foot, a little dissatisfied and a little worried, but this mine was so weird that she didn't dare to shout loudly for the two of them to come back.
No, they must be let out!
Li Wenxi thought for a while, and while cleaning up the salt mines on the ground, she sent a voice message directly to Xu Xin, wanting to tell him to come out quickly and not stay in the depths, it was too dangerous.
As a result, the voice did not get through.
"Huh?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, "What's going on? There's no signal in this mine?"
She glanced at the two people who were looking at each other next to a wall, and called them again.
Still can't get through.
She didn't believe in evil, so she looked at Qi Xuefei who was observing the situation at the entrance of the cave, and called Qi Xuefei.
Qi Xuefei's watch vibrated. She raised her hand to look at it. Then she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Wenxi. She didn't answer the call. She raised her watch and said, "What are you doing? Are you making a voice call so close to me?"< br>
The distance between the two was only a dozen meters, so the conversation could still be heard clearly.
"Huh? Can Sister Xuefei get through? Then why..." Li Wenxi turned to look inside the cave.
Then she froze.
The depths of the cave have become empty. Without the shadow of the two people and two beasts, the cave is extremely quiet.
"Huh?" Li Wenxi thought she was dazzled, rubbed her eyes, and looked into the cave again.
Deep inside the cave, it was still empty.
Li Wenxi gradually opened her eyes and was stunned for two seconds.
"...Sister Xuefei, they are gone! Several of them are gone!" Li Wenxi reacted from the shock, turned to look for Qi Xuefei, and found that Qi Xuefei had already walked over and was standing behind her, frowning. He frowned and looked inside.
"I saw them, and they suddenly disappeared." Qi Xuefei was also very shocked at this time.
She had been paying attention to the two people over there. In just a blink of an eye, the two people and beasts over there had disappeared. Because it was very dark deep in the cave, and she didn't eat red berries, so she didn't see clearly. What is the situation.
She just vaguely saw a black thing flashing past. The cave was already dark, but that thing was even darker. It was simply pitch black. Because it only happened for a moment, she couldn't guarantee that she could see it clearly.
She told Li Wenxi about this.
"A... black thing?" Li Wenxi looked deeper. She had eaten red berries before, and could see everything inside clearly. She remembered that Xu Xin and two people were at a side wall just now, and she didn't know what they were checking.
She took two deep breaths to calm down a little.
When Xu Xin was around, she could still act according to her temper. Now that Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were nowhere to be found, she had to be steady.
She took out the crossbow from her backpack and looked into the depths of the cave: "Sister Xue Fei, let me go in and take a look. There must be something weird about the wall they have been observing. That wall should be the one Xu Xin just said ”
Qi Xuefei pulled her and whispered: "Don't worry. It doesn't matter for now, they are not dead. Their names are still on the watch and have not turned gray, which means they are still alive."
"But..."
"Look, the white horse is still sitting at the entrance of the cave. It has not changed much and its mood is very stable, which means that its owner should be fine now."
Qi Xuefei did not intend to let Li Wenxi risk her life.
The two people who are missing now are each stronger than them in terms of personal strength. Next to them is a Silver King who can also be called the leader among intermediate mutant beasts.
If they can't solve the problem, even if they can really find them, they will just die.
If it was a problem they could barely solve, the two of them, who had non-combat abilities and were not strong in combat, would become a liability.
She told Li Wenxi her idea. Although Li Wenxi was still worried, she no longer insisted.
Indeed, the two of them are not powerful fighting beings at all. Even if they can be encountered, they are only under protection.
"Sister Guixin's ability is more useful..." Li Wenxi sighed.
She really wanted to be as powerful as Wen Guixin. If it were Wen Guixin, she would have rushed in to save people with great confidence.
Unlike her, if she wants to save people, she has to worry about becoming a burden.
"Don't belittle yourself, our abilities are incomparable to Wen Guixin's." Qi Xuefei comforted her.
"Well..."
Li Wenxi opened her watch and saw that the names of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were normal, which made her feel relieved for the time being.
"The two of us, just wait at the entrance of the cave for a while." Qi Xuefei pulled her out of the mine entrance. "If they don't come out after dark, it won't be too late for us to go find them."
"...These two guys brought us here, but they themselves disappeared. How can we go back!" Although Li Wenxi said this, she had no intention of leaving at all, and looked into the depths with a worried expression.
"There is a white horse..." Qi Xuefei looked at the white horse, "It's a pity that it doesn't listen to us."
"I hope they are okay..."
"Don't worry, they all have my healing medicine on them. They are basically immune to death." Qi Xuefei comforted her. She looked into the depths of the mine, with a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
The two stood quietly at the entrance of the cave for dozens of seconds.
"...I'd better not wait here anymore! It'll make me anxious to death!" Li Wenxi couldn't stand it anymore.
She handed a backpack to Qi Xuefei: "Sister Xuefei, look at it here. This backpack contains a lot of salt ore that I just collected. Please put it here first. I won't carry it with me. It's quite heavy. There are a lot of metal ores around here. I’ll go see what I can mine and at least do something I can do.”
"Okay, you go ahead. I'll just keep an eye on this place. If there's any danger, we'll contact each other." Qi Xuefei raised her left hand with the watch, "Do you have enough pills on you?"
"That's enough, Sister Xuefei, then I'm leaving!"
……
On the other side, in a strange cave.
"嘤?嘤嘤?" Coco circled around the dizzy Xu Xin who was sitting on the ground, then jumped on him and pushed him with her little paws, "嘤嘤嘤!"
< br>
"I'm fine Keke." Xu Xin rubbed her temples to relieve her dizziness, and touched Keke's little head with her other hand.
"Hey." Seeing that Xu Xin was okay, Keke shook her tail in relief, and ran to Silver King who was sitting on the ground shaking his head to ask.
"That was the purple-black vortex just now? Did you see it clearly?" Ji Chaoyang was sitting next to him at this time, holding his forehead with one hand.
"Well, it is indeed, it is a purple-black vortex." Xu Xin slowly stood up from the ground and responded.
Just now, after finding nothing, they had decided to leave the cave.
But at this moment, Coco suddenly jumped out of his arms. Xu Xin wanted to catch it but failed, causing it to hit the wall they had been checking over there.
But at this moment, the accident happened.
Coco's little body didn't hit the wall directly, but passed through it in one go.
At the same time, a purple-black vortex was generated from where Coco passed through, and expanded instantly.
Before he could react, his eyes were instantly surrounded by purple-black, and there was only purple-black in front of him!
Then, the feeling of weightlessness invaded his whole body, and he felt like he was falling from a high altitude, experiencing a free fall.
It was exciting, but it was so sudden that he almost screamed!
However, this process only lasted a few seconds, and the feeling of stepping on the ground came from under my feet.
In an instant, his heart was about to jump out of his mouth and he felt a sense of security.
But what followed was an unparalleled sense of dizziness and vomiting. He couldn't stand still and fell directly to the ground.
"What on earth is going on..." Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Xu Xin was really confused.
In front of him was a cave, similar to a salt mine cave. It was a large cave with a height of three to four meters. The cave was a little damp, and the sound of water drops could be heard from time to time. There are somewhat sharp stone pillars protruding up and down everywhere in the cave.
This is a cave!
Looking behind him, he saw the end of the cave, which was an ordinary cave wall with uneven walls.
Xu Xin felt dizzy again, feeling that she was still a little unsteady, and subconsciously wanted to hold on to the wall.
But thinking that the situation just now was caused by Coco touching the wall, he immediately retracted his hand for a moment, but he stumbled and couldn't stand still. One hand was still on the wall.
This time, nothing happened, it was just an ordinary wall.
This made him feel relieved, but also a little disappointed.
It seems that there is no way to go back through the same method.
"You must have seen that whirlpool just now, right?" Ji Chaoyang also stood up unsteadily, shook his head, cleared his head, and asked Xu Xin.
"...Well, I saw it once. There is such a purple-black vortex in the center under the tornado during heavy rain."
At the beginning, he concluded that the other side of the vortex was connected to other places, just like a portal, and his ability should be similar to his coordinates.
Behind the tornado whirlpool, it was very dangerous. Not only did the wooden stick he stretched out feel a strong pull, but it was also corroded to the point of disgrace after being pulled back.
But where is this place? Was he teleported to the other side of the wall?
Looking at the surrounding rock walls and a cave in front that was similar to a salt mine, with no end in sight and some curvature, a map emerged in Xu Xin's mind.
The position he was in now shocked him.
"...Our current location is still inside this circle of hills, but..."
"But what's wrong?" Ji Chaoyang was originally looking at the deep cave ahead. When he heard Xu Xin say this, he remembered that one of his abilities was map authority, which allowed him to see where he was.
"However, it is far away from the salt mine cave. It is basically at the other end of the hilly resource area."
Xu Xin looked at his current position and was very surprised.
He originally thought that he might just be on the other side of that wall, but he never expected that he... had crossed the entire hilly resource area!
If you connect his current position with the position of the salt mine cave, it is basically equivalent to the diameter of the entire circular hilly resource area, and it truly spans the entire resource area.
He looked at the time again, and there was nothing wrong with it. The time just transmitted was only a few seconds.
"Huh?" Coco ran back to Xu Xin's feet, climbed up along his body, and wanted to climb back onto Xu Xin's shoulders, but Xu Xin directly carried him by the back of his neck to his eyes.
One person and one little panda stare at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"You little guy, what are you touching when you have nothing to do!" Xu Xin was furious when she saw Coco. It was because of this little guy running around that they were sucked to this place.
"Hey..." Coco was originally a little dissatisfied because of being picked up by Xu Xin, but after hearing his words, her little head and big tail drooped, as if she realized her mistake.
"Forget it... We're already here, let's contact Wen Xi and the others first." Xu Xin shook her head, held Coco in her arms, and sent a voice message to Li Wenxi.
"No, I've tried it. You can't communicate with the watch here." Ji Chaoyang walked to Xu Xin and his voice became darker. "There should be some secrets in places where you can't communicate with the watch. No communication with other people is allowed." Sharing, that’s why communication is temporarily prohibited.”
The secret of the world?
He seemed to have only been prohibited from communicating in the underground city, and in that underground city, he did meet the Changyin family that existed before the end of the world, and learned part of the truth about the world.
As for the previous underground world, he didn't have a watch at that time, but I guess communication was prohibited in that kind of place.
"Then we are at the right time this time?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
"Indeed, this may be the place we are looking for."
They came here to explore just to find out the truth about why there are so many ability users in this nearby area. Maybe they can find it now!
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Coco's little ears immediately stood up as she huddled up in his arms because she had done something wrong. She raised her little head and looked at Xu Xin, and scratched his scales with her little paws: " Ying! Ying Ying Ying!”
"Okay, okay, I know you did that because you thought there was something good here." Xu Xin touched Coco's little head and said with a smile.
In this way, they really relied on Coco's feeling to get in. If Coco hadn't suddenly jumped up, they might have gone out of the mine by now.
"Hey!" Coco also raised her little head and climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulders twice.
"Ouch!" Silver King had also returned to normal and walked to Xu Xin's side.
Looking at Ji Chaoyang who was standing nearby and looking into the depths of the cave, Xu Xin smiled.
This lineup was much stronger than when he was exploring the dungeon by himself, so there was no need to worry too much.
I just don't know what happened to the two people outside. I hope they don't get sucked in and just wait outside. After all, if he encounters any danger, he is still confident to deal with it. Ji Chaoyang doesn't have to worry about him, but with him Looking at those two people, I was really afraid of what would happen.
Those two people are very important in the team, and we must not let them get into trouble!
After waiting for a long time, Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other and nodded when they saw that neither of them came over.
It seems that either the purple-black whirlpool will not appear again, or they are very smart and did not come in, but chose to wait.
Either way, not bad.
"Let's go." Xu Xin took a step toward the depths of the cave, "Go and find the secrets of this area!"
