Chapter 338 The miserable Mimic
Xu Xin brought Mimi Silver King to the tree house, touched the bracelet on her left hand, and signaled Li Wenxi to step back.
"What on earth is it? It's mysterious." Li Wenxi was very curious, but still stepped back a few meters, "Is it dangerous?"
"It's okay, I'll protect you!" Lou Fei'er stood beside Li Wenxi and said righteously.
In fact, she also wanted to stay and see what Xu Xin was going to come up with.
Seeing the two people moving away, Xu Xin immediately turned her bracelet.
"Clang!"
The Mimic Monster was released, and the box hit the ground, making a sound of metal hitting the ground.
The copper metal exterior and huge box shocked the two women who had been watching behind them.
"This is... a copper treasure chest? What a big treasure chest!" Li Wenxi exclaimed.
It's really big.
It was several times larger than any treasure chest they had seen before.
The oversized treasure chest with a height of 1.5 meters can make people excited just by looking at it, making people wonder what is inside.
"What's so dangerous about the treasure chest?" Li Wenxi was a little confused, but she still obeyed and didn't come forward.
Because she saw that King Yin and Mimi had tensed their bodies at this time, showing nervous and hostile postures.
Judging from their posture, it looks like they are about to pounce on the treasure chest and attack!
And the expression of Lou Fei'er beside her gradually solidified.
She pulled Li Wenxi back two more steps and whispered: "There is something strange in this treasure box. I can feel that there is danger and mutant creatures in it!"
As an intermediate mutant creature, Lou Feier is very sensitive to the existence of other mutant creatures.
Not only her, but even the plant heart has sensed the danger and reacted.
The ground around the treasure chest cracked, and dozens of vines came out, bent in the air, and aimed at the treasure chest.
It seems that the moment the treasure chest is opened, these vines will attack directly!
In Aifei's cave, the two little guys were disturbed by the sound and stuck half of their heads out, looking curiously at this side. Then they were pushed back by Aifei.
All the creatures around him became tense, confronting this silent and motionless treasure chest.
Except for Silver King, Mimi, and Afu, who have already seen the appearance of the Mimic Monster, other humans and animals, including Plant Heart, all think that there is a monster hidden in the treasure box. Once the treasure box is opened, it will jump out directly!
Xu Xin took out his purple-level halberd and gently touched the body of the treasure chest, making a crisp sound of metal collision.
This treasure chest is very hard now.
When I saw it before, its box was as soft as meat, and it became hard later.
Is this a special means of self-protection?
It seemed that this guy was aware of the eager gazes around him, so he shrank back.
It's very safe now, just open it and take a look.
Xu Xin gently poked the halberd in his hand, directly into the gap between the lid and the box, and then used his arm to lift the treasure box open.
The moment it was opened, the people and beasts around them trembled slightly, and Mimi almost rushed forward to attack.
However, everyone including Xu Xin was surprised when they saw the inside of the treasure box.
The inside of the treasure chest was not the bloody mouth full of sharp teeth that Xu Xin saw last time.
There are no fangs or mutated vines emerging from the depths of the huge mouth, but...
A whole box of gold and silver jewelry, jewelry accessories!
The golden and silver light was so bright that it almost blinded everyone present!
"...Huh?" Even Xu Xin himself was stunned.
He thought of many situations, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.
What's going on? What about the Mimics?
What is...jewelry?
What a treasure? And is it an explosion of classic gold and silver jewelry?
"...Didn't you say that there are mutated creatures inside?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a few seconds, touched Lou Fei'er's waist with her elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Why is...this kind of thing? It looks quite beautiful. But this... the style of painting is not quite right?”
Li Wenxi was right. This kind of treasure looked gorgeous, but it was basically useless to them, a group of survivors.
In Xu Xin's eyes, these jewelry exuded a white-grade light. In other words, although these things looked very beautiful, they were just white-grade waste.
But... silver jewelry...
If the quantity is large enough, maybe... it can be smelted into silver nuggets?
So far, he has not obtained a silver nugget. If he could have silver, he might be able to make some high-end, high-tech electrical appliances!
"This...I don't know. Maybe the danger is hidden in these treasure piles?" Lou Fei'er was also very confused, but her whole body was still tense, and she had even pulled out the dagger from her waist.
Because, at the moment when the treasure chest was opened, the sense of crisis in her heart increased instead of decreasing, becoming even stronger!
She couldn't help but said to Xu Xin: "Be careful! There must be something in the treasure box! I can feel it!"
Xu Xin nodded slowly to show that he understood.
There must be something wrong with these gorgeous jewelry.
Maybe this is not the real thing at all, but a deception!
Li Wenxi and the others didn't know, but he knew.
What kind of treasure chest is this? This is obviously a treasure chest!
This treasure chest is really too big. If he wants to get something deeper, he has to lean in.
Perhaps when he reached into it to explore, he was devoured and attacked by the Mimic!
"Plant heart, help me explore the inside." Xu Xin said softly.
The vines can regenerate, even if they are broken by an attack, it doesn't matter.
His position was now just below the canopy of the treehouse, the only place without snow. Here he speaks, audible to the heart of the plant planted beneath the treehouse.
As soon as he finished speaking, several vines around the treasure chest started to move.
They immediately dived into the open treasure chest and began to stir wildly among the gold and silver jewelry!
Immediately, countless jewels flew out, and one even flew in front of Xu Xin's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed it in his hand.
Looking at the silver bracelet in his hand, Xu Xin's eyes lit up slightly at first, and then showed a disappointed expression.
This is indeed a real thing and not a trick, but...
[Silver bracelet (white): Silver bracelet, well-made decoration. Don't even think about smelting it into silver nuggets. If it doesn't work, just give up. 】
What a pity.
Cannot be smelted into silver nuggets.
It's right to think about it. The lowest level of iron is green, and the lowest level of black gold is blue. It is definitely impossible to smelt a higher level silver from this white bracelet.
These jewelry are really just useless things.
The vines kept stirring the jewels, causing countless jewels to fly out.
Suddenly, something happened!
"Crack!"
Without any warning, the lid of the treasure chest closed instantly from the wide open state at extremely fast speed!
Several vines that were stirring inside didn't have time to react and were broken directly inside!
Immediately afterwards, a strange sound of something chewing and squirming came from the treasure chest.
The two women behind him both exclaimed. They didn't expect the treasure box to close on its own.
"This, this, this..." Lou Fei'er's pupils shrank, she thought of something, and exclaimed, "This is the treasure chest that's alive?!"
"Ah?" Li Wenxi's eyes widened, "Treasure box? Alive?"
"That's right." Xu Xin squinted her eyes and looked at the treasure box in front of her. There was a crunching and chewing sound coming from inside, which made people feel a little numb. "This is a treasure chest monster. When the snowy mountain was opened, there was no treasure at all, but a big mouth! ”
"Is it really alive?!" Although Lou Fei'er had this guess, she was not sure. When she heard Xu Xin's words, she was immediately dumbfounded.
Li Wenxi also covered her mouth with shock on her face: "Is there such a creature in this world? Mimic monsters?"
They were all shocked, much more shocked than Xu Xin was at first.
After all, all the creatures they have encountered in this world, apart from being stronger than those on earth and having some mutations, there is no big difference, and they are basically within their understanding.
The appearance of the Mimic Monster this time completely subverted their understanding.
After all, pterosaurs are ancient creatures that once existed, but this Mimic is too outrageous!
Xu Xin is much easier to accept.
After all, he was the man who once talked and laughed with the stone statue man.
There are even stone statues, and it’s not unusual for treasure chests to come to life.
There was still the sound of chewing coming from the treasure box, and the box was squirming slightly.
Obviously, the current treasure box is no longer the solid one.
Xu Xin stabbed out the halberd in his hand and shouted at the same time: "Launch the attack! Attack this treasure chest!"
Immediately, Silver King and Mimi rushed forward, and several vines emerged from the ground again and stabbed towards the treasure chest. Even Lou Fei'er, who was originally behind, rushed up instantly with a dagger in hand!
Focus fire attack!
At the same time, the treasure chest also sensed the danger. Before Xu Xin's halberd could reach it, the lid of the chest immediately lifted, showing a semi-open posture.
And that scarlet bloody mouth also appeared in the eyes of everyone around him!
There are even remnants of vines on the fangs all around the box. Countless mutant vines instantly emerged from the dark and deep throat!
"Crack!" Xu Xin's halberd struck directly in the bloody mouth, and countless vines that were about to emerge were cut off by him. At the same time, a strong vitality came from the hilt's handle, making his whole body feel happy. trembled.
What a strong vitality!
He has never absorbed such powerful vitality before, and no intermediate mutant creature has given it to him!
Could this treasure box be...
After Xu Xin cut off the vines in its giant mouth, the Mimic let out a shrill scream. Before it could react, other attacks followed!
The first was Mimi, who was extremely fast. When Xu Xin's halberd was just swung, it suddenly jumped up. It waved its claws instantly, and instantly made three scratches on the soft box lid, and then snapped it. The lid is clicked on.
Then, the entire treasure box jumped into the air!
That’s right, just soaring into the sky!
The vines that emerged from the ground were pushed directly into the air!
The Plant Heart had not attacked from the bottom before because it felt that the danger came from the treasure chest, and attacking the treasure chest was useless. But now that he realized that the entire treasure box was the source of danger, he naturally launched a fierce stabbing attack!
Although the body of the treasure chest is a little soft, the bottom is still extremely hard, so the vines that came out did not poke into the treasure chest, but directly pushed it up.
The treasure box in mid-air had just reached its highest point when several vines flew from above and hit the box violently!
Immediately, the hit treasure box fell at an extremely fast speed, hitting the ground with a "bang!" and the entire box deformed for a moment!
And Yin Wang and Lou Feier are already waiting below.
The Silver King pounced directly, opened his wolf mouth, and bit down on the opening and closing position of the treasure chest lid. His huge wolf teeth were nailed deeply into it, making it impossible to open the entire treasure chest again.
Lou Fei'er, on the other hand, was holding a purple-level dagger. She was extremely fast. With a "sizzle", she ducked past and left a deep mark on the back of the box! It’s much deeper than the marks left by Mimi!
The attack power of the most powerful purple-level dagger cannot be overshadowed!
Then, Mimi’s cat claws came one after another and started a crazy scratching mode!
Everything happened in an instant.
"Okay, stop it all!"
Xu Xin did not take action again and stopped all other attacks.
Because he didn't want to kill or destroy this Mimic.
There is definitely a huge space inside this Mimic, and the vitality just now...
Perhaps, you can use it for your own use?
Jishou and Lou Fei'er, who were about to attack again, immediately stopped. Silver King released his mouth and took two steps back. The vines solidified in the air, and Lou Fei'er also retreated to Xu Xin's side.
However, they still stared at the treasure chest.
"Huh?" Coco's little head poked out of the window of the tree house and looked around.
It was awakened by the danger and sounds outside.
Not because Xu Xin and the others were under the tree house and couldn't see anything from the window. Coco could only scratch her little head, not knowing what happened, and almost fell from the window.
"Hey!" Keke hurriedly got into the tree house again.
The Mimic had fallen to the ground, and Xu Xin could see that the entire treasure box was trembling slightly.
It was obviously scared.
Then, under the watchful eyes of several people and beasts, the treasure chest fell to the ground and was face up. The lid of the chest was slowly opened, revealing a gap.
Mimi immediately let out a threatening gasp at the Mimic, which frightened it and quickly closed it again.
"Don't do anything." Xu Xin stopped their movements.
This Mimic seems to have no intention of continuing to attack.
Mimi threatened the Mimic again before taking two steps back.
Li Wenxi walked up at this time, stood beside Xu Xin, and looked at the Mimic.
Xu Xin didn't let her retreat anymore. Now, there should be no danger.
After waiting for another ten seconds, the Mimic realized that there was no danger and slowly opened the lid again, revealing a gap.
Then, it spit out a small gadget, and then it immediately closed the lid again.
The gadget fell directly in front of Xu Xin.
Xu Xin leaned over, picked up the thing, and looked at it in his hand.
"This is... a key? A key?" Li Wenxi looked curiously at the bronze-colored key in Xu Xin's hand.
The corners of Xu Xin's mouth were already curled up.
[Mimic Key (Purple): Each Mimic has a matching key. The lucky person who gets the key is the owner of the Mimic. He can control the Mimic and obtain all the indigestible food that the Mimic has swallowed before. treasure! 】(End of this chapter)
