Chapter 293 The new increase is an irresistible chill
Xu Xin looked at her watch. It was now past seven in the morning.
The sun had just risen from the horizon. Although only half of his face was exposed, it illuminated the entire jungle, causing the white snow covering the jungle to reflect the dazzling white light, which made him unable to open his eyes.
It gets dark at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it just breaks out at seven o'clock. The cold winter night is really long.
"Huh?" Coco, who was awakened by the cold wind, climbed onto the windowsill, looked outside, and then shouted in surprise, "Huh!"
Coco had already fallen asleep when it snowed yesterday, so it didn't see the heavy snowfall. It was so surprised that it stuck its head out and looked out the window. It even almost fell, but was pulled back by Xu Xin. .
The canopy of the tree house outside the window is also covered with white snow. The tree crown will not block Xu Xin's view, but the white snow will.
He reached out and shook the tree crown. The layers of snow that had previously blocked his eyes scattered to the ground, and his vision became clear again.
A few hundred meters away, the reservoir-like lake was completely frozen. The surface of the lake was covered with a layer of ice that looked very thick, sealing the entire lake.
"The ice is good. It's best if the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake is frozen inside and doesn't come out again." Xu Xin said to himself.
Another gust of cold wind blew in, chilling the bones and making the temperature of the entire room drop much lower.
He quickly closed the window.
If it's not snowing, it's going to be snowing. The temperature now is definitely below minus ten degrees.
A map appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
To his relief, there were still no red dots on the map, indicating that the surrounding area was still safe for the time being.
At this time, a voice sounded in his ears.
[It is detected that the decoration degree of the tree house is greater than 500, and you will get a random increase today: an increase in bounce power, and the effect will last for one day. At the same time, the second increase can be selected from the historical increase. 】
Increased jumping power?
As soon as the voice fell, he felt a warm current begin to flow on his legs, and he felt that his legs became very strong.
Can I jump higher with my ability today?
He tried a little jump.
"Oh!"
His feet left the ground instantly, and just when his head was about to hit the ceiling, he immediately reached up to block it.
He supported the ceiling with both hands to avoid the farce of his head hitting the ceiling directly.
With a "pop" sound, Xu Xin fell to the ground.
"Hey!" Coco was startled by Xu Xin's sudden jump and stood on the ground looking at him with her little head tilted.
This feeling is so amazing!
Just now, he was afraid of hitting his head on the ceiling, so he didn't use any force at all when he jumped, just a slight attempt.
With the strength he just used, which was a small jump slightly off the ground, he did not expect that he almost hit the ceiling.
With a slight movement, he jumped more than one meter high!
If you really jump hard, how high will it be?
Moreover, he could feel that with these legs, no matter how high he jumped from, he would probably not be injured.
Looking out the window at the white snow on the ground, he even had the urge to jump down and give it a try.
The height of the third floor of his tree house is nearly 20 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a six or seven-story building.
Despite this, he still felt that he would be unscathed if he jumped from the window.
Shaking his head and driving this somewhat suicidal thought out of his mind, he began to choose his second increase of the day.
After thinking about it, he chose the hearing enhancement for his second enhancement.
There may be a beast tide and other situations today. He needs his ears as human radar to always be alert to the surrounding environment, so that he will not be unprepared when emergencies occur.
The limitations of his map are still a bit large, and he can't always pay attention to the map in his mind. But hearing is different. He can hear any disturbance, which is equivalent to the ability to passively explore the surroundings.
After selecting the hearing amplifier, all the small sounds around him were transmitted to his ears.
There is nothing unusual at the moment.
Walking out of the bedroom, Mimi and Silver King were lying lazily on the edge of the fireplace warming themselves by the fire, and Ah Fu was also lying on Mimi's body.
Although it's cold outside, the treehouse is still warm thanks to the fireplace.
Xu Xin immediately sent a voice message to Ma Hongwei, asking him whether he wanted to come over or protect his tree house.
"I won't go there. With the heavy crossbow and the power grid downstairs, it should still be defendable. I don't want the treehouse to be destroyed and then have to clean up the inside of the treehouse again." Ma Hongwei replied.
"You haven't passed your period of weakness yet, have you?"
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. I didn't have much combat power originally. With the strength I've recovered now, it's enough to control the control panel."
"Okay, if you can't hold on after the beast tide comes, please contact me."
Xu Xin hung up the call.
At this time, his watch vibrated again, and it was a voice call from Lou Fei'er: "Have you had breakfast? I made a lot. I just contacted Wen Xi, and she will come over to eat."
Xu Xin was a little surprised: "You really cooked for everyone."
"Didn't you ask me to cook for everyone?"
"Okay, I'll go over now."
Xu Xin smiled helplessly. Li Wenxi was really an optimist. At this juncture, she even dared to come here to eat.
Xu Xin left mutated beast meat for Silver King and Mimi, and then swung down from the tree house with Coco.
The canopy of the treehouse is also covered in snow. But thanks to the thick canopy that blocks the snow, there is no snow in the area below the tree house.
Moreover, Xu Xin could feel that the temperature near the tree house was not very low, and actually remained above zero!
The most obvious thing is that the pool he dug near the tree house is not frozen, and the two channels leading to the pool are completely frozen beyond the area more than fifty meters away from the tree house, let alone the distance. of lake water.
The tree house can actually keep the surrounding temperature from getting too low!
Is this what the core of the treehouse is for?
The beloved concubine emerged from the hole in the ground.
"Is this temperature okay? Do you want to go to the tree house?" Xu Xin asked his beloved concubine.
Concubine Ai made a clear cry and shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it.
Xu Xin stood at the entrance of the cave and could feel the heat flowing out of the cave.
It's actually quite warm in this cave. What is the principle?
Xu Xin glanced inside curiously and found two little guys lying on the exposed roots of the tree house, swaying their tails up and down.
...treehouse roots? Do treehouse roots dissipate heat?
He immediately slipped down from the hole.
Although the cave is not as warm as the tree house, it still has a temperature of more than ten degrees. For a few mutated pangolins, this temperature is not a problem.
He touched the exposed roots of the tree house. Sure enough, it was still warm to the touch and kept radiating warmth outwards.
No wonder, no wonder it's still relatively warm within fifty meters, and planting can continue. It turns out that the roots of the tree house are working.
He thought about the core of his blue-level treehouse that had been useless, and it had similar functions in his hand.
It seems that the roots of the treehouse close to the treehouse will emit heat, which should be the ability given by the core of the purple-level treehouse in his treehouse.
"Huh..." Coco looked at the two little pangolins that were already a little bigger than him. He suddenly stood up and raised his hands to scare each other.
The two little pangolins were still lying on the roots of the tree house. They flicked their tails and barked at Coco, not being frightened by it at all.
Xu Xin also played with the two little pangolins and took Coco back to the ground.
Outside the area covered by the tree canopy, the snow on the ground is nearly half a meter thick, which has reached a level that can seriously affect movement.
Xu Xin raised her feet and stepped into the snow.
Because it was the snowflakes that fell last night, this layer of snow was relatively soft. He looked up at the windows of the tree house hidden in the canopy, and bowed slightly.
"嘤...嘤?!"
He kicked his feet violently, and in an instant, his whole body was like a rocket, flying directly into the sky!
"嘤嘤?!" Coco screamed in horror as her four claws gripped his body tightly.
Xu Xin jumped to the highest point, just like controlling the roots to enter the tree house, the tree house crown will actively avoid him.
He grabbed the window of the tree house, used strength in his arms, turned around and sat on the window sill.
"Oh my god..." Looking at the ground twenty meters away from him, he was shocked by this jump.
Behind him now is the third floor of the tree house.
This jump is a height of twenty meters!
Moreover, he didn't try his best, he felt that he could jump higher!
What a powerful increase in jumping power!
"Hey!" Coco jumped directly onto the windowsill, waving her little paws at Xu Xin and complained, "Hey!"
It was quite frightened.
"Okay, Coco, let's go down." Xu Xin sat on the window sill, picked up Coco and held it in his arms, and then jumped directly.
"Hey!" Coco screamed again.
"Pfft!" Xu Xin fell into the snow, unscathed, but Coco's little paws in her arms were touching him, as if checking whether he was injured.
This increase in jumping power is also a ridiculous ability!
Not only can he jump very high, but it also allows him to jump down from high places, using only his legs to remove all the impact without suffering any damage.
"Okay, stop touching it. Isn't it okay?" Xu Xin touched Coco's little head, which was still trembling in his arms, and continued walking out.
The further he walked, the more he could feel that the temperature was gradually decreasing.
"Ugh..." Coco curled up into a ball and nestled in his arms, holding its big tail in his arms to keep warm.
"Hoo——"
He continued to walk out through the snow, and when he reached a position about fifty meters away from the tree house, he exhaled a white breath and shrank his neck.
The biting cold penetrated his purple scale armor and soaked into his body, making him feel the coldness he had not seen for a long time.
This temperature is almost minus 20 degrees!
The warmth-keeping effect of his scale armor no longer had any effect.
Not to mention other people's blue-level suits must have become useless.
Xu Xin reached out and pushed open the door of the high-voltage power grid. The wire was so cold that he rubbed his hands.
At this time, the purple vortex began to condense above the coordinates around him, and with a special sound, the exit of the teleportation gate was opened.
The purple-black vortex fluctuated, and Li Wenxi jumped out of it, stepping into half a meter of snow, her face turned red from the cold.
She saw Xu Xin at a glance and was not surprised. She rushed towards him and hugged him: "It's so cold! Yeah, Coco!"
She reached out and touched Coco's little head, which was held between the two of them.
"Hey!" Coco also responded.
She was wearing blue-level leather armor, and Xu Xin could feel that her body was starting to shiver from the cold.
"The scales are so cold!" Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's hand and covered her face.
A cold and smooth feeling came from Xu Xin's hands, and Li Wenxi also showed a comfortable expression, "Your hands are so warm..."
"Are you the only one who wants to come here when it's so cold?" Xu Xin pinched her cold face with her fingers slightly hard and asked.
"Well, Yajun and Le Youfang are both in my treehouse now. It's strange to say that they can control the control panel in my treehouse. I just asked them to stand guard for me and I came over to have a meal. , go back after dinner, hehe...ah...ah!"
Li Wenxi sneezed and rubbed her nose: "Well...it's so cold. Let's go inside quickly."
"Okay, let's go there." The two walked through the snow together towards Lou Fei'er's tree house.
"This layer of snow is really thick. It's inconvenient for us to move outside." Li Wenxi pushed her legs against the snow in front of her and kicked it twice from time to time.
"But this way, the beasts in the beast tide will not be able to move easily. It can also be regarded as a natural barrier." Xu Xin thought it was a good thing.
"That's right!"
Xu Xin thought about another thing.
Regarding what Li Wenxi just said, Li Yajun and Le Youfang can control the control panel in her tree house.
He had some clearer ideas in his mind.
Lou Fei'er can also operate the control panel in Ma Hongwei's parasitic tree house.
On the map, Li Wenxi has no display or any light spots, while Lou Fei'er and Ma Hongwei are the green light spots of his companions.
This shows that for him, Li Wenxi is still a neutral unit, while Lou Fei'er and Ma Hongwei are the recognized companions.
He had always thought that this was because of the contract.
No, it was indeed because of the contract, because the moment they signed the contract, the light spot turned from red to green.
But even if there is no contract, perhaps parasites in the same main treehouse will be considered friendly units?
Perhaps it is because of this that although they cannot control each other's treehouses to enter and exit, they can control each other's things in the treehouses.
That should be it.
This is much more convenient, but...
He and Li Wenxi are still not considered companions now...
What happens next? (End of chapter)
