Chapter 250 I heard their voices!
In the salt mine cave.
"Sister Xuefei, did the Silver King's cry you just heard come from the cave? It couldn't be outside, right?" Li Wenxi had already walked around the mine, even ignoring Qi Xuefei's obstruction. , touching the wall that Xu Xin Ji Chaoyang touched before disappearing.
But nothing happened.
Qi Xuefei recalled the voice at that time: "If you say so... no, it should have come from the cave. Although it feels a little vague, it does come from the cave."
< br>
"Yes..."
Li Wenxi looked at the stone wall in front of her. She really had the urge to blast this wall with an explosive crossbow bolt. She felt that Xu Xin and the others were actually behind this wall.
If she were alone, she might actually do it.
But Qi Xuefei was still there at this time, and she didn't know if her doing so would affect Xu Xin and the others, which made her hesitate.
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the other side of the stone wall.
"Eh?" Li Wenxi's eyes widened, "Sister Xuefei, did you hear anything?"
"Is this... the sound of voices? The sound of people talking?" Qi Xuefei also stepped forward and listened carefully.
The voice was a little blurry, and Li Wenxi didn't care so much. She directly put her ear to the wall and listened carefully.
"...It's the voices of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, the two of them!" Li Wenxi shouted excitedly, "I knew they were behind this wall!"
Qi Xuefei pulled Li Wenxi away from the wall and said in a helpless tone: "How dare you stick to the wall? You want to disappear too, right?"
"Hey, I'm so excited!" Li Wenxi heard the two people's voices and knew that they were fine for the time being, so she relaxed a little and her tone of voice became more relaxed.
The sounds on the other side of the stone wall were getting clearer and clearer. Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei could already hear the sounds on the other side of the wall clearly without leaning against the wall.
"You said... if we break this wall, can we return to its original position?" Xu Xin's voice came from over there.
"It's Xu Xin!" Li Wenxi immediately shouted to the wall, "Xu Xin! Can you hear me? We are behind the wall!"
But the two people behind the stone wall didn't seem to hear her shouting.
"Maybe? There is no exit nearby, so I should give it a try..." This was Ji Chaoyang's voice.
"They are indeed still together!" Qi Xuefei heard the two people's voices, and then she was really relieved, and then she shouted to the wall, "Xu Xin! Ji Chaoyang! Can you hear me?"
As a result, the two people on the opposite side showed no reaction and were still talking about themselves.
Obviously they could hear the two people behind the wall talking normally, but they couldn't hear them shouting like this from the other side!
"What's going on!" Li Wenxi became a little anxious and patted the stone wall with her palm, "Hey! Can't you hear the two people on the opposite side! Is this wall still one-way soundproofed?"
Li Wenxi slapped it a few more times and shouted a few more times, but it still didn't work.
"... Go out and get the resources outside before we talk." Xu Xin's voice said.
"Okay." Ji Chaoyang's voice.
The conversation between the two ended, followed by the sound of footsteps getting further away, and after that, nothing could be heard.
"Ah! They're gone! I'm so angry, why can't you hear me!" Li Wenxi punched the wall with her fist, because she was a little excited when she heard the two people's voices just now, plus the shouting, which made her face a little bit... Red, "Why can only our side hear it?"
"Well... they just said that they will come back later, we can wait a little." Qi Xuefei thought for a moment and suggested, "If it still doesn't work next time, let's try to blow open this wall. .”
"Yeah! I think so too," Li Wenxi nodded vigorously, pursed her lips and said, "If they hadn't said they were coming back, I would have blasted this wall open now! Sister Xuefei, what's inside? It may be dangerous, so go to the cave entrance and leave me here alone.”
"Okay, I'll help you pay attention at the entrance of the cave. Don't do anything unnecessary yourself, you know?" Qi Xuefei was really afraid that Li Wenxi would also suddenly disappear. She would really be left here alone. It's almost dark now. , it’s really scary.
"Don't worry, it won't happen, at least not before they come back!" Li Wenxi raised her head and patted her chest in assurance.
Qi Xuefei walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the white horse lying at the entrance, taking a leisurely bite of hay from time to time, and sighed.
These two guys are really capable of causing trouble. They brought them out after meeting for the first time, and then disappeared, leaving them waiting here. It was really...
However, perhaps because of this, the two of them are the first and second in all regions.
……
other side.
Xu Xin swam forward cautiously.
The piranhas that were farther away began to move again, but no fish dared to charge towards him.
After confirming that the eight piranhas lying at the bottom of the water were dead, Xu Xin quickly put them all into his backpack and left that location.
While going upstream, Xu Xin caught a red carp that was circling around him without any warning.
He brought the fish to the surface, took out his boning knife and killed the fish.
[Special red carp (green): A red carp that has been affected by an unknown force for a short period of time, and is currently not much different from ordinary carp. 】
This unknown force should be referring to this bright white light.
A shorter period of time, though?
Why a shorter time? Isn't this space always affected by white light?
Xu Xin decomposed the carp again, but didn't get anything good. He shook his head and threw it into the lake again.
His backpack doesn't have any space for these ordinary carp materials.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang has basically completed picking and digging these colorful flowers.
The colorful flowers have turned into a piece of plowed land, and the two lush banyan trees have also been cut down by the two people. The cave sky that originally looked like a fairyland in Taoyuan now only has a layer of turf left, which looks a little bit... miserable.
"Those piranhas are here again, right?" Ji Chaoyang asked before Xu Xin could speak.
"That's right, but these piranhas don't dare to enter the range of the white light." Xu Xin said from the orb fragments in the cracks of the stone wall.
"...Oh? So it seems that this orb can drive away mutated creatures?" Ji Chaoyang looked at the orb fragments, "Maybe this orb is the key to our escape."
Xu Xin looked at the orb above the waterfall and fell into thought.
The orb fragment was at least six or seven meters away from the lake. Although the stone wall was uneven, it was very slippery because it was near a waterfall, making it impossible to climb.
How to get this orb?
It would be great if Ah Fu was here, Ah Fu could fly up and pick up the orb fragments directly.
"Hey!" Coco stood up and pushed Xu Xin's leg.
"Huh? What's wrong, Coco?"
"嘤! 嘤嘤嘤嘤!" Coco pointed her little paw in the direction of the orb and shouted several times.
"Oh?" Xu Xin understood what Coco meant, and her eyes lit up, "You mean, you can climb up?"
"Hey!" Coco yelled again, and then jumped on the Silver King's head.
King Yin already knew Coco's intention. With a cry, he jumped into the lake and swam towards the waterfall.
The two beasts soon arrived at the waterfall.
"Your Silver King, aren't you afraid of this white light?" Ji Chaoyang suddenly discovered a problem.
Now the Silver King is located where the bright white light is, but it still doesn't behave like the underwater piranha.
"...It does seem so." Xu Xin was also a little confused, "Isn't the white light aimed at mutant creatures?"
Coco jumped up from Silver King's head and grabbed the wall with four claws.
Although Coco is usually so cute and harmless, its claws are very sharp and can grip the stone wall firmly.
Its small body crawled along the uneven wall, and even used some protruding stones as springboards to climb up easily. In just a few seconds, its claws had already caught the gap where the orb fragments were. middle.
The gap wasn't big, but Coco's body was also small, so he got right in and crawled to the orb.
Cocoa curiously poked the broken piece gently with her little paw, and patted it twice with her paw.
Because the small claws would block the white light, the entire underground space became bright and dark due to Coco's movements, and the fish in the lake began to swim around in panic.
The orb fragment seemed to have been fixed in the gap. After confirming that the glowing fragment would not burn his paws, Coco used his claws and mouth to break off the orb fragment.
"Hey!" The moment it was broken off, Coco's body leaned back and almost fell, but fortunately it used its limbs to stabilize its body.
"Nice job Coco!" Xu Xin cheered when she saw that Coco had already obtained the orb.
"Hey!" Coco responded, picked up the fragments, avoided the waterfall below, climbed down from the nearby stone wall in a few steps, and jumped on the head of the Silver King.
The whole space immediately became much darker. The moment Coco jumped on the head of the Silver King, the swimming fish in the lake no longer panicked, but began to swim collectively around the Silver King.
Soon, Silver King swam back to the shore, and Coco jumped down, crawled along Xu Xin's legs and climbed into his arms.
Xu Xin picked up Coco and took out the orb fragments that were still glowing white in its mouth.
The surroundings were illuminated again, and the fish in the lake returned to calm.
Although the light of this orb fragment can illuminate the entire space, even in Xu Xin's hand, it does not feel dazzling when looking directly at this orb fragment.
However, what surprised Xu Xin was that the orb did not trigger any prompts.
"Why is there no prompt?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
This orb fragment is the same as the core of the tree house, and there is no grade color. Xu Xin thought that he would know what it was just by holding it in his hand, but unexpectedly, not only did it not have the grade color this time, there was no introduction.
This is the first time he has encountered this situation.
"You try?" Xu Xin handed it to Ji Chaoyang.
Ji Chaoyang took the orb fragments.
"How's it going? Do you have any tips?"
"You didn't even notice that you have the ability in this area, and I certainly didn't have any." Ji Chaoyang checked it over and over again, but found nothing, and returned it to Xu Xin, "You raised this thing." The little guy got it, just take it.”
Xu Xin took it back. Although this thing was not introduced, looking at the surrounding environment, the two of them could basically guess the effect of this thing.
"Really?" Xu Xin picked up the fragment of the orb with two fingers and lifted it up. The surrounding area became clearer and brighter under the shining white light.
"If you do this again, be careful that I regret it." Ji Chaoyang joked with a smile, "When you really find a use for it in the future, you can share a piece of my pie. By the way, you just said that those piranhas are afraid of these white lights, right? We might be able to take advantage of this.”
"I also have this idea." Xu Xin also nodded.
This kind of piranha has blue-level scales on its body. Now that they are all in front of them, of course they cannot let them go. (End of chapter)
