Chapter 345 Discovery on the Snowy Mountain Top
Xu Xin is going to benefit the team.
His increase today is an increase in mental power. Taking this opportunity, he can carve more works of art.
Just do it.
Walking to the art room, he sat in front of the sculpture and painting workbench.
It seems like I haven’t made art in a while.
"Hey!" Coco ran in from outside, jumped on his lap and lay down.
It didn't stay with Xu Xin all day yesterday, and it didn't sleep in the same room with him last night.
The little guy can't accept it, and now he wants to cling to Xu Xin all the time.
Xu Xin touched its little head: "You can stay here, but you are not allowed to disturb my work, understand?"
"嘤!"
Xu Xin took out a green-level crystal.
Warm up first.
He has a lot of these things now. In addition to the pile he got during the last rainy season, he also got a pile at the bottom of the lake in the cave.
He picked up the carving knife and started carving on it.
Soon, he entered a state of selflessness while carving, and the hand holding the carving knife began to move rapidly.
Three minutes later, Xu Xin looked at the completed statuette, looked at the time on the watch, and opened her eyes wide.
...so fast!
A green grade one was carved out in three minutes!
In that hour, 20 pieces can be produced directly!
One person can hold up to 10 green-level statues, and he can meet the upper limit of the demand for green-level crystals for two people in one hour!
Moreover, his energy was not consumed at all!
very nice!
Then carve the green-level crystal first.
His own decoration level is enough for the time being. Whether it is the alchemy room or the production room, the success rate at this stage is already very high, and the carving and painting speed in the art room is also very fast.
Today, let’s first improve the decoration level for other people in [Explorer].
Especially Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei, the functional areas of these two people are related to their abilities. By improving their decoration level, the team benefits are the highest.
Xu Xin calmed down and kept carving with the carving knife. Small green-level carvings were being born one after another in his hands.
When he reached the eighteenth statuette, his watch vibrated. It was a voice from Ji Chaoyang.
"It's ten o'clock. Wang Lei has already said in the group that he has triggered the event. Lou Fei'er should also go up, right?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
Xu Xin stopped the carving knife in her hand and touched Coco, who had always been well-behaved in her arms: "Well, she left an hour ago and said she was going to check on the situation."
"Then let's go to the top of Xuefeng to have a look. What you said about the stone man yesterday also needs to be verified."
"That's fine. You probably haven't seen the stone statues in the daytime, right?"
"I went up to check it out at around seven o'clock today. Maybe it's because it's still dark, but the appearance of those stone statues hasn't changed, but..."
"But what?"
"The pterosaur whose whole body lit up last night changed its movements. After we left last night, it probably came back to life." Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Xu Xin's eyes twitched.
He wasn't afraid of the other stone statues, but he was afraid of the pterosaur stone statue. But the pterodactyl stone statue was moved last night?
"Anyway, let's go up and take a look. I'll prepare myself and come to find you right away." Ji Chaoyang said.
"Okay."
Hang up the voice and continue carving the statue in your hand to complete it.
Eighteen green-level statuettes were placed in front of him.
He traded eight to Li Wenxi and ten to Qi Xuefei on the spot.
He had already carved two specifically for Li Wenxi before, so he only needed eight to reach the upper limit.
Within two seconds, Li Wenxi sent a video request.
In the video, she was in a parasitic tree house. There were two other people sitting in the tree house, a man and a woman. He didn't know them. They should be the people that Lou Fei'er brought last night.
"Why did you suddenly give me so many small statues!" Li Wenxi was a little surprised, "8 statues, that is, 80 decoration levels, a lot!"
"I have carved some at home. I can carve very quickly now, but the maximum is ten. If there are more, I won't add any decoration..."
Xu Xin saw behind her that after hearing her call him Xu Xin, the two people instantly showed expressions of admiration. Their fanatical eyes made him almost think that he had joined some kind of cult.
"It's already a lot. The probability of me smelting purple-level materials can be increased. Look, our new member!" Li Wenxi was wearing casual clothes at this time and pointed the camera at a man and a woman in the tree house.
"Hello." Xu Xin smiled and nodded.
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
"Hello, Brother Xin!"
Although the two of them looked full of admiration, they acted very reserved. It seemed that his name was already synonymous with super power in the eyes of others.
"Are you still going out today?" Li Wenxi took back the camera.
"Well, I'm going to the snow-capped mountains soon."
"Oh, okay, then I won't go and play with you, hehe..."
"Don't always want to come to me and do something serious." Xu Xin was a little helpless.
"But now the snow outside is three meters thick, so we can't dig mines at all... Why don't I go out on my skateboard and see what's around? Maybe I can find something new."
"That's fine, but be careful. I saw the furry monster this morning."
"Really or not? Are they...predators? Well, you have to be more careful." Li Wenxi's expression immediately became a little more serious.
"It's okay to go out, but the tree house must be well defended." Xu Xin reminded.
"Don't worry, the power grid has been repaired, and I have given Yajun permission to enter and exit my tree house. If necessary, she can help me control the control panel to defend against foreign enemies."
"That's good."
After chatting casually for a while, Xu Xin hung up the video, and Qi Xuefei also sent him a message to express her gratitude.
At this time, the sound of the portal also came from outside, and Ji Chaoyang teleported over.
After all, it is much closer to Xuefeng from his side.
Xu Xin got up and prepared to go out.
"Hey!" Coco climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder and shouted, indicating that she wanted to go too.
When going out to explore, Coco is indeed a big help, especially on that snowy peak. If there is any special situation, I am afraid only Coco can detect it in advance.
But the environment outside is still too cold for Coco. Even if he puts it into the space bracelet and takes it there, he can't let it out.
Xu Xin thought for a while, made another snow fox scarf, and wrapped Coco's entire little body in it with the furry scarf.
"Huh?" Coco revealed half of her little head from the white fur ball, her similarly furry brown-white ears moved twice, her eyes full of doubts.
"This way you won't be cold anymore and I can take you out." Xu Xin touched Coco's exposed ears and said.
Xu Xin walked to the living room again and put Mimi Silver King and Ah Fu into his brand new purple-level space bracelet.
He also wanted to take Coco in, but something strange happened.
Coco, this weird little panda can’t be put into the bracelet!
What's going on?
Xu Xin pursed her lips as she looked at the little guy in front of her, half of his little head peeking out from the snow fox scarf, looking at him innocently.
This little guy is really mysterious.
He had no choice but to hold Coco and walk down the tree house.
"What are you..." Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Xin holding Coco like a baby. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I almost thought you two even had children."
"What..." Xu Xin said helplessly, "This little guy is special and can only be brought here. It really requires its perception."
"Bah!" Coco stretched out her little paw from the plush ball and let out a yelp.
Ji Chaoyang didn't ask any more questions: "Are you ready? Let's go."
The two slid their skateboards and soon reached the bottom of the snow peak.
Judging by the time, Lou Fei'er should still be climbing on that section where the rocks are a bit smooth and it's easy to miss and fall.
However, Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were invisible. After all, she could not be sensed above fifty meters.
"Let's go up."
The two of them jumped into the portal one after the other.
Xu Xin once again set foot on the top of the snow peak.
Just as he expected, these stone statues once again returned to their appearance when he reached the top yesterday.
All the stone statues, including the two nearest pterosaur stone statues, were facing outwards, making somewhat violent attacking gestures.
Demons dance wildly.
These stone statues are like soldiers who were suddenly frozen in a war. Their ferocious movements and ferocious expressions can scare away the timid people.
"Ugh...!" Coco shrank her little head in the snow fox scarf. It was a little scared, but it still looked around curiously.
"Is this... the scene during the day you mentioned?" Ji Chaoyang frowned.
Although Xu Xin had already explained it to him, this scene was still shocking.
Xu Xin raised his head and looked at the two pterosaur statues beside him.
Last night, the statue covered with blood-red patterns had returned to normal. It was spreading its wings with a wingspan of ten meters, raising its huge head, and opening its big mouth, as if it was roaring to the sky!
The two looked at each other and began to shuttle among the stone statues.
"Since the shapes of the day and night are different, then the time when these stone statues are active..." Ji Chaoyang looked at the stone statues around him and thought.
"When the sun rises, or when it sets. Early morning and evening." Xu Xin said, and reached out to gently touch a stone statue of a mutated bear.
A stone statue that looks just like yesterday, but contains a strange vitality.
"Huh?" Coco in his arms suddenly called out in confusion.
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Did Coco find anything?
It got half of its body out of the snow fox scarf, intending to jump out of Xu Xin's arms, but because the environment was too cold, it screamed "嘤" again and retracted into the snow fox scarf, its exposed eyes rolling around. With.
"Keke, did you find anything?" Xu Xin asked softly.
It stretched out its little paws, pushed Xu Xin, pointed in one direction and barked.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang began to move in the direction it pointed.
The two continued to walk outside, getting farther and farther away from the portal and getting closer to the cliff.
"Bang!" About twenty meters away from the edge of the cliff, Coco shouted. He seemed a little dissatisfied with the speed of Xu Xin and the two of them. He got out of the snow fox scarf with a "bang" and stepped on the ground. , then ran forward five or six meters, and jumped twice in one position, "嘤嘤嘤!"
The two ran over immediately.
Coco couldn't stand the low temperature anymore and immediately crawled along Xu Xin's legs into his arms, got into the snow fox scarf at the speed of light, and then let out a muffled cry: "Sneeze... sneeze!"
< br>
Even had a little sneeze.
Xu Xin rubbed Coco's little head, then squatted down and reached out to touch the spot where it jumped.
Their current position is in the middle of the first circle of ordinary beast stone statues and the second circle of low-level mutant creature stone statues.
Under the feet, there is a cold and hard soil layer. There are no plants growing, and there is no difference from the surroundings.
"Can you believe this little guy's feeling?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
"Ugh!" Coco yelled with some dissatisfaction.
"Okay. Coco has helped me a lot. He even discovered how to obtain the core of the tree house." Xu Xin nodded.
"Then... let's dig this place up. Maybe there's something underneath this soil." Ji Chaoyang took out his shovel.
"Just dig it up... it shouldn't disturb the surrounding stone statues, right?"
The movements of those stone statues seemed like they would attack him in the next second.
"I don't know, it's unlikely." Ji Chao shook his head and said, "Even if we are alarmed, the two of us can at least leave. It's not good to be too cautious."
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded and took out a shovel.
At the first swing of the shovel, the two noticed the difference in the snow-capped mountains.
They hold high-end shovels in their hands. When they shovel down, they will usually shovel out a unit of soil. But on this snowy mountain...
They could only dig into the hard, dry land in front of them with shovel after shovel, just like digging with an ordinary shovel on the earth.
Fortunately, there are benefits to advanced tools. Even if you can't shovel out a large amount of soil, you can easily shovel the rock-hard soil.
Xu Xin stretched out her hand and pinched the soil. It was brown with a little red.
[Polluted alpine soil (ash): The soil on the high mountains is polluted and cannot grow any vegetation, making it useless to survivors. 】
"It's polluted soil." Xu Xin sprinkled the soil in his hands.
Ji Chaoyang nodded: "It makes sense. This giant peak must be related to mutated creatures."
The two continued to shovel. Coco was held by Xu Xin with one hand, with only his eyes exposed as he looked at the soil that had been dug twenty to thirty centimeters deep.
"Qiang!"
Ji Chaoyang's shovel dug into something, and there was a sound of metal colliding with metal.
Both of them were refreshed.
There really is something!
Something made of metal!
Treasure chest?
The two of them sped up their digging.
Soon, the appearance under the soil appeared in front of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang.
"This is..."
The expressions of both of them changed and became a little weird.
It was a square iron door covered with rust.
There is a rusty handle on the iron door, which can be opened directly.
The two looked at each other and could see the solemn look in each other's eyes.
The style of this iron gate is very familiar to them.
Isn't there an iron gate like this at the entrance to the underground world? !
They actually dug an entrance to the underground world on top of the snow peak? ! (End of chapter)
