Chapter 247 The Breathtaking Ending (4000 words!)
Ji Chaoyang immediately took out another loaded crossbow from his backpack and fired it into the mouth of a flying piranha.
Xu Xin took out his halberd and stabbed another big blood-red fish that was flying toward him!
The Silver King next to Xu Xin suddenly jumped up and pounced directly on the third fish from the side!
"Boom!"
Ji Chaoyang's explosive crossbow accurately hit the piranha's mouth, and the entire piranha was instantly blown to pieces with flesh and blood flying everywhere!
"Click!"
Xu Xin's halberd also directly penetrated the entire piranha. He swept it horizontally again, and the halberd burst out of the piranha's belly, with part of the fish's internal organs still picked up on the tip of the halberd!
The Silver King also directly threw a piranha to the ground. The huge wolf fangs penetrated deeply into the piranha's body. With a flick of the wolf's head, it directly disemboweled the piranha!
[Kill the giant mutated piranha*2, get points: 160 points. 】
At this time, the river was already boiling, but no piranhas jumped out again.
This group of fish was like the piranhas that Xu Xin saw in the lake next to the tree house. They began to gather together and crazily ate the injured piranha fish that was first thrown into the water by the two!
The river was churning and gradually dyed red. Blood splashed onto the shore and splashed on the bodies and faces of the two people. However, they didn't care. Instead, they nervously watched the situation underwater, and at the same time tensed their bodies, ready to attack at any time. attack.
But no more piranhas jumped out of the river, but gradually calmed down and finally became calm.
The red color of the river gradually dissipated with the slow flow of water. Until it became clear again, no piranha came out again.
"Have they swam away already?" Ji Chaoyang asked in a deep voice, still pointing the crossbow at the river.
His spear was broken in order to prevent the cave entrance from closing, and half of it was pierced into the cave wall. The sword was too short, so now he only had a crossbow to deal with this group of fish.
Fortunately, he made many green-level crossbows as spares. The power of the explosive crossbow bolts did not require high requirements for the crossbow itself. He loaded all the crossbows with an explosive crossbow bolt, so that he was equivalent to having the ability to The repeating crossbow fires continuously.
"Not yet." Xu Xin did not dare to let down her guard. Because although the river has returned to calm, the red dots on the map are still scattered in the river in front of them, as if they are lurking. Once they get close to the river to check, they will jump out of the river to make a surprise attack.
"Hey." Coco also lay on Xu Xin's shoulder and whispered softly, indicating that there was something in the river, so don't get close yet.
Silver King had already begun to feast on the piranha he killed. It had been running for a day and was very hungry.
Although the scales of this piranha are red, the meat is indeed tender and white, and it looks very delicious, which made Xu Xin's throat roll. He didn't eat much of the medicated meal at noon. It was too unpalatable, and now he was a little hungry.
The two of them waited there for about two minutes. The river began to move and ripples appeared.
"These piranhas are starting to swim back!" Seeing the red dots on the map starting to move back, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
There are too many fish, and if they all jump out to bite them, they may not be able to deal with them.
"That's good." Ji Chaoyang's expression relaxed after hearing this.
The two waited for another ten seconds.
"They are far away. I want to see where they are going." Xu Xin focused on the map.
"Okay, you come and look at the map, and I'll take care of these two big piranhas." Ji Chaoyang took out the boning knife and started working on the two piranhas that they killed.
Xu Xin observed the migration path of this group of piranhas.
Their position at this time was still in this circle of hills, and they were already close to the "giant head". Xu Xin had previously suspected that they were underground rather than in the mountains, but now it was confirmed.
The map will only display enemy units near the ground. If it is deeper below the ground, he will not be able to see the red dots of these piranhas.
In other words, this should be the inside of the hills on the ground, and the entire cave wall is actually those hills.
They have come all the way back from the inside of this circle of hills.
And those piranhas were swimming towards the giant's head!
Under Xu Xin's gaze, the red dot had swam close to the giant's head.
But what surprised him was that they didn't really swim over, but suddenly turned around when they got close to it.
On the map, the red dots that originally formed a straight line in the river collectively turned at a position before the mine and began to move toward the interior of the hilly resource area.
"...?" Xu Xin looked at these moving red dots and narrowed his eyes.
The brightness of the red dot became darker and darker, and after moving a few hundred meters, it completely dimmed and disappeared.
Xu Xin was thoughtful.
These fish should have swam along the underground river in the hilly resource area. Because he swam underground, Xu Xin's map was no longer visible.
Looking at the direction, they should be swimming towards the lake in the hilly resource area.
It seems that the lake is no longer safe!
However, this at least shows one thing. Following this river, you should be able to reach the inside of the head!
Although I don’t know why they were teleported so far and it took them half a circle to get past, but as long as they can get there, that’s fine. Over there, there should be the secret and the way out that they are looking for!
Silver King had already eaten a piranha down to its bones and was sitting on the ground to rest with satisfaction.
"How is it? Does this fish have any resources?" Xu Xin asked Ji Chaoyang.
This piranha is really big, much bigger than the ones he has seen before. You know, the average piranha is only about the size of a palm. This fish is nearly one meter long. It can be called the giant among piranhas. A beast!
"Not bad, blue grade fish scale skin," Ji Chaoyang picked up a piece of fish skin in his hand, which was covered with red scales. "It can be used to make blue fish scale armor. I don't know what the function of this fish scale armor set is. .”
"Two fish scale skins can't make a set of scale armor." Xu Xin shook his head, he would have killed two more if he had known better.
"Maybe we can meet again in the future?" Ji Chaoyang raised the fish skin in his hand, "Do you want it?"
"Take it, by the way, is only fish skin blue-level?"
"That's right, after all, it's only worth 80 points, and it's just a primary mutated creature. Only the skin will 100% obtain blue-level resources."
Indeed, although 80 points is already very close to the points for an intermediate mutant creature, it still has not passed the intermediate level.
"Hey! Hey!" Coco pushed Xu Xin's face on his shoulder, and pointed his little paw deeper into the cave, as if to tell him that there are good things in that direction, and we should go there quickly.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Xin rubbed Coco's head, "Let's go and continue to move deeper."
At the same time, he told Ji Chaoyang what he had just seen on the map.
"Since there is a road, let's go quickly."
The two did not jump into the water again this time, but chose to walk on land.
A bunch of piranhas have just been attracted, who knows what else is in the water. Now the shore is very wide and much flatter, so there is no need to go into the water anymore.
"Be careful. Since there are mutated creatures underwater, there may be some on the shore as well." Ji Chaoyang reminded.
"Keke will remind us, right?" Xu Xin scratched Keke's chin.
"Hey~" Keke cried out in comfort, then raised her head to show that she was right.
"Ouch!" Because the road surface was much smoother, Silver King could move freely.
"...This place is so spacious and much smoother, just like a tunnel. Why don't we ride the Silver King forward." Xu Xin proposed another time-saving method.
"That's fine, we've spent nearly an hour on the road and we need to move forward faster." Ji Chaoyang nodded.
The two of them climbed onto Silver King's back, and Coco got off Xu Xin's shoulders and got into his arms.
"Sit tight. Let's go, Silver King!"
"Ouch--" Silver King subconsciously let out a wolf howl, echoing throughout the cave, and then it rushed forward.
……
Qi Xuefei, who was sitting on the stone at the entrance of the salt mine and had been waiting, was still staring into the cave, hoping that the two people would suddenly appear.
Suddenly, she heard a faint howl coming from the mine.
"This is... the cry of the Silver King?!"
She stood up instantly and looked into the cave entrance.
There was nothing, which made her a little disappointed. However, now that the sound has been heard, at least there is a clue.
She immediately sent a voice message to Li Wenxi.
"Hey, Sister Xuefei, are they back?" Li Wenxi asked impatiently before she could speak.
"Wen Xi, I heard King Silver's cry from the mine, but I didn't see them."
"The cry of the Silver King? I'll go back right away!"
……
Silver King's speed was very fast, and the cave became wider and flatter as they went. In just a few minutes, they were almost at the giant's head.
The river next to me is also getting wider and wider, and is now seven or eight meters wide.
Xu Xin really didn't expect that the river would become wider as it went upstream. What's the point?
"Xu Xin, is this sound the sound of water?" Ji Chaoyang listened carefully to the sound that was getting closer and closer, "It's like... the sound of a waterfall falling. We should be almost at the source of this river."
"Right in front!" Xu Xin pointed to the distance, where there was no longer darkness, but some light, "Light! There is light there! Could it be the exit? King Silver, speed up!"
"Ouch!" Silver King responded and immediately quickened his pace.
As the end of the cave gets closer and closer, the scenery at the end becomes clearer and clearer.
"This..."
Silver King arrived at the location and stopped.
The two people on the wolf's back forgot to turn over and get off the wolf, but looked at the scenery in front of them with their eyes wide open, and they both temporarily lost their voices.
"Ugh..." Coco also opened her mouth and looked at everything here blankly.
None of them thought that at the end of this road, there would be such a "paradise" in the mountains!
The two of them rolled off the Silver King's back and stepped on the green grass.
That's right, it's the green grass. This area is not as bleak as it is outside, but is very full of life!
At the source of the river, there is actually a lake! In the lake, countless fish and shrimps were swimming in it, and above the lake, a waterfall-like water flowed out from the wall and fell into the lake, making the sound of water they just heard.
Surrounding the lake is the green grassland that Xu Xin and the others are stepping on now.
There are countless colorful flowers growing on the grass, exuding a faint fragrance. Two dense and green trees stand on the left and right respectively. Everything in front of you reveals vitality.
Even more comfortable and lively than the jungle before winter.
Under the soft white light, everything seemed so unreal.
Here, it seems like a garden, so beautiful that it seems unreal.
Xu Xin took two steps forward, walked to the edge of the lake, and looked at the source of the soft white light around her.
This is what shocked Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang the most.
"That...what is it?" Xu Xin looked at the thing emitting white light in front of him and murmured.
"That's...a fragment of a bead?" Ji Chaoyang guessed in a low voice.
The water continuously gushes out from a gap in the wall at the end, forming a small waterfall. There is something placed in the gap in the wall above the waterfall, which is constantly emitting a bright white light, illuminating everything around it. All illuminated.
The soft white light is not dazzling, but can completely illuminate the surrounding area.
Moreover, Xu Xin could already feel that the temperature around her had reached a very comfortable 20 degrees!
In the cave that is just that long, the temperature is as low as six or seven degrees, but only here the temperature is so comfortable.
Perhaps, it is because of this bright white light!
Xu Xin squinted her eyes and carefully observed the luminous thing. Just as Ji Chaoyang said, it seemed to be a very incomplete bead.
Because a small part was a smooth spherical surface, they could tell it was a fragment of a bead, but most of it was irregular and looked like part of a ball that had fallen off a football-sized bead.
"...treehouse core?"
Xu Xin subconsciously thought of the core of the tree house. The core of the tree house also looks like a pearl and emits bright white light.
But the core of the tree house he had seen was only the size of a fist, and the fragment of this bead was already larger than a fist. Judging from the curvature of the spherical edge, the complete size of this bead was at least as big as a football.
Xu Xin subconsciously checked the map. His current location was just behind the head.
Could it be that the stone wall with the waterfall flowing out and the orb fragments in front of them is the same wall that cracked a gap in the salt mine before, and when Coco touched it, a purple-black vortex suddenly appeared, swallowing them up. ?
Behind the wall is the salt mine?
"Xu Xin, these two trees..." Ji Chaoyang had already focused his attention on the two lush trees. His voice was full of surprise and disbelief, "These two trees are banyan trees." Ah..."
"...banyan tree?" When Xu Xin heard the word "banyan tree", he was startled and immediately turned to look at the two green and lush trees.
The roots of the tree are coiled like a crouching dragon, the trunk is strong and powerful, and the aerial roots like a beard hang down from the dense crown, connecting the earth. The crowns of the two trees were almost connected together, covering a large area.
He had just been attracted by the bright white light source, so he really didn't pay much attention to it. Looking at it this way, it was really a banyan tree!
The same banyan tree as their treehouse! ... Could this be a tree house? !

Recently, I seem to be posting 4000-word chapters all the time, which is a bit overwhelming_(:з ∠)_
Many readers have said that they want to see the development of the team and the treehouse, so I will try to write more, get over this plot as soon as possible, and then do a good job in the treehouse and the group. The main thing is that the things to be obtained here will also be useful to the group in the future. And it can be considered a small main line, so I still need to write it in detail (￣▽￣)
