Chapter 397 The reason for the appearance of the stone statue
The pterosaur that poked half of its head out of the pit immediately made Zeng Tao and Qin Fu scream in surprise.
"What is that?!"
Qin Fu no longer had the casual attitude before, and his whole body became tense.
At the same time, he took out a large bow from his backpack and carried a quiver full of arrows on his back.
He took out an arrow from his quiver and put it on the string, ready to shoot at any time.
"This is... what you just said, the mutated creature stone statue, and the pterosaur stone statue?!"
Zeng Tao also looked solemn.
She looked at the stone statues that were constantly emerging from the pit, as well as the half of the pterosaur head with a fierce look, and clenched her little fists, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Why did they come here?" Lou Feier subconsciously leaned towards Xu Xin.
"Have all the heavy crossbow arrows in your treehouse heavy crossbow been filled?" Xu Xin squinted her eyes and looked out the window, and asked Lou Fei'er at the same time.
Xu Xin's calm voice had a commanding tone, which immediately made Zeng Tao and Qin Fu turn their heads to look at him in surprise.
"Every one is full." Lou Fei'er responded.
When she just cleaned up the tree house, she had already reloaded all the heavy crossbows in the tree house.
Of course, it only contains some green-level heavy crossbow arrows, which may not have much effect on the stone statues.
At this time, all the heavy crossbows in the tree house had automatically turned around and rushed in the direction of the group of stone statues.
Xu Xin nodded and started thinking.
There is no control panel in Lou Fei'er's treehouse.
According to ordinary control methods, the heavy crossbow cannot play much role at all.
Fortunately, these stone statues are relatively densely located, so turning on the automatic attack of the heavy crossbow should also have a certain effect.
The surrounding stone statues are still moving.
The stone statues that had climbed up were moving around, and there were still a steady stream of stone statues climbing up in the pit.
But the huge pterosaur head was still only half exposed, looking at them faintly.
Although he had no intention of taking action, Xu Xin did not dare to act rashly.
If they were just stone statues of a group of intermediate mutated creatures, Xu Xin wouldn't be afraid at all.
Even if these stone statues are stronger than ordinary mutant creatures, they are not much stronger.
But with this pterosaur here, it's completely different.
The existence of this pterosaur made him very hesitant to preemptively attack them directly.
Their attack is likely to trigger a counterattack from the pterosaurs.
With these people present and this treehouse with simple facilities, he really doesn’t have confidence,
Why do these stone statues suddenly appear near Lou Fei'er's tree house?
"If you have a heavy crossbow, then you don't need me to shoot arrows, right?" Qin Fu loosened the bowstring slightly, and the big bow in his hand hung down. "The power of the heavy crossbow should be able to crush these stone statues, right?"
Only then did Xu Xin notice that the big bow in his hand was special.
His eyelids twitched slightly.
The big bow was actually emitting purple light!
This Qin Fu actually owns a purple-level wooden bow!
Purple level weapon!
Worthy of being second in a region.
I don’t know what the special effects of this purple-level bow are.
"The power of the heavy crossbow... you can try it, but don't have too much hope." Lou Feier looked nervous.
Maybe heavy crossbows were effective against those stone statues of intermediate mutant creatures, but she didn't think that these green-level wooden heavy crossbows plus wooden heavy crossbow arrows could pose a threat to high-level mutant creatures.
That pterosaur stone statue cannot be dealt with with ordinary crossbow arrows!
Moreover, its deterrence was still too strong for Lou Fei'er.
Especially now that she was still staring here, she almost couldn't bear it.
The deterrent power of hierarchical suppression left her with little thought of resisting.
If Xu Xin wasn't here, if she was alone, she would have turned around and ran away.
"What should we do? Are we going to stay here? What is their goal?"
Zeng Tao looked out the window at the stone statues that kept crawling out of the pit but did not attack them, and asked nervously.
She grabbed the window sill with both hands, and with a strong force, there was a click, and the entire wooden window sill cracked due to her pinch.
The corners of Xu Xin's eyes trembled slightly again.
What's going on with Zeng Tao?
So strong?
Did you pinch the window sill until it cracked? !
Is it... similar to Wang Lei's ability?
These two people are really not simple.
From this point of view, Yan Haiming, who was easily subdued by them and is still lying in the belly of the Mimic Monster, is really too weak.
How on earth did he get fourth place?
Lou Fei'er was not surprised.
After all, she had already experienced Zeng Tao's strange power.
At this time, she was already confused and couldn't think at all. She could only turn her head to look at Xu Xin, waiting for him to give orders.
Should we take action or wait.
She could no longer make a decision herself.
Because if she were to make the decision now, it would definitely be...
run! Run quickly!
This pterosaur is no match for her!
Zeng Tao was nervously watching the movements of the stone statues outside and did not notice Lou Fei'er's appearance.
But Qin Fu noticed it.
He glanced at Lou Fei'er, who was standing behind Xu Xin, and looked back thoughtfully.
Xu Xin didn't notice Qin Fu's gaze.
He was thinking about why these stone statues suddenly appeared here.
Here, it is obviously more than ten kilometers away from the light pillar.
Even if these stone statues want to attack the tree house, they should choose his tree house which is closer.
There must be other reasons for coming to this tree house where everyone lived before today.
The most likely reason is that he was attracted by Xiao Hong in his bracelet.
Combined with Xiao Hong's strange behavior near the giant pit, the possibility of these stone statues coming to find Xiao Hong is the greatest.
But...
Hiro isn't just in his bracelet, he's even in the Mimic's belly.
He had seen it once before. Xiao Hong still maintained the forward posture he had when he was swallowed by the Mimic Monster, motionless.
So I didn't care about him anymore.
He also asked the Mimic to swallow it into his mouth again to avoid any accidents.
So, is this stone statue really for Xiao Hong?
Hiro's position is in the mouth of the Mimic in the bracelet. Double protection. Can everyone detect this?
Wait...
hiss--!
Something suddenly occurred to him.
He just let the Mimic come out!
He let the Mimic come out, swallowed Yan Haiming into it, and then took it back.
The Mimic Monsters at that time...
The mouth is wide open!
Could it be that...
At that moment, Xiao Hong's position was exposed? !
It's possible.
Very possible!
Thinking of this, Xu Xin took a deep breath.
The reason seems to have been found.
It is very possible that these stone statues are aimed at Xiao Hong who is now on top of him!
That’s how it should be, that’s right!
It is self-evident why these stone statues have been spying on them but have not attacked them.
Because Xiao Hong is in the bracelet now, they can't detect Xiao Hong's position.
Therefore, they were also hesitating whether they were in the right place or whether to attack the tree house where Xu Xin and the others were.
But if they really came for Xiao Hong, then this matter would be much easier to solve.
"So, are we just going to wait like this?" Zeng Tao looked out the window and said with a frown, "These stone statues are probably coming for me and Qin Fu, right? Do you want me to go down and deal with them directly?"
She looked at Lou Fei'er: "If, as you said, these stone statues are all intermediate mutant creatures, then I can still deal with them."
It's normal for her to think like this.
As soon as the two of them came over there, these stone statues appeared around the tree house.
They must have followed them.
"...You guys are in the tree house now, don't go out."
Lou Fei'er was silent for a moment and then said, "These stone statues may not attack. Moreover, even if they attack, the attack power and defense power of the tree house are much stronger than if we go down in person."
"The tree house is better than me?" Zeng Tao pouted, "It's not necessarily better than me. If I weren't afraid of the pterosaur stone statue, I would have gone down earlier."
"I think what Zeng Tao said is reasonable." Qin Fu said, "Since these monsters are coming for us, the best way is for us to go out now and lure these stone statues away, so as not to damage your tree. The house was affected.”
"I feel the same way." Zeng Tao nodded, "We have solved the problems we caused ourselves."
"What are you talking about?" Lou Feier immediately objected, "Since you are here, I must protect you. If I hadn't asked you to come, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. Besides, then Pterosaur, can you solve it?”
Lou Fei'er didn't think that these stone statues were directed at Qin Fu and the others.
There were so many people coming to the light pillar yesterday, but these stone statues were not seen following them to Xu Xin's tree house.
Obviously, the target of these stone statues should be Xu Xin.
Letting them go out to divert the flow, regardless of whether these stone statues will attack them, will only make the situation more chaotic.
"...How will you know if you don't try? Can it be solved in the tree house?" Zeng Tao looked at the pterosaur outside the tree house and clenched his little fists.
"What are you talking about?" Xu Xin frowned and looked at them, "You must stay in the tree house. This is the safest way, right? If you can't defeat the tree house even if you run out, aren't you looking for death if you run out? ?”
"Ha, my fighting power is much stronger than yours." Zeng Tao sneered, "If you are timid, don't make excuses."
"...No, let's stay here." Qin Fu glanced at Xu Xin, suddenly smiled and said, "You will protect us, right?"
"Huh?" Zeng Tao frowned and looked at Qin Fu, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Forget it Lou Fei'er, do you expect this loser to protect us?"
As she said that, she raised her finger and pointed at Xu Xin's nose: "Is it him?"
She was so unhappy with Yan Haiming, and she was even more unhappy with her previous feelings.
Therefore, in order to reduce this weird feeling of closeness, Zeng Tao wanted to retaliate no matter what he said.
Xu Xin was about to say something, when the surrounding stone statues made new movements. (End of chapter)
