Chapter 451: Surprising Discovery in the Warehouse (4800 words long chapter)
Several people slowly walked out of the passage, and everyone had weapons on hand.
This underground warehouse is quite large, and the overall feeling is like a giant underground garage.
But what is parked in the warehouse is not a car, but...
Row after row, stone statues of underground creatures!
These stone statues are very different from the previous stone statues on the ground.
The group of stone statues led by pterosaurs on the ground, although larger than ordinary creatures, are generally of normal size, but the stone statues in front of us now...
The smallest stone statue is also a giant bug the size of a car!
The stone statues are arranged very neatly, like an army in formation, with a strong sense of oppression.
And that's not even the scariest thing.
Several people slowly raised their heads and looked at the center of the entire warehouse, the statue...
The stone statue of the giant beast!
One...
Huge brown bear!
The giant brown bear moves by standing on all fours on the ground, but even so, his height is still twenty meters high!
About six or seven stories high!
If this brown bear stone statue stood up, it would probably reach a height of fifty meters!
If this stone statue is alive, then this brown bear is probably one of the largest beasts they have ever seen in this world!
The stone eyes of the giant brown bear statue were staring unblinkingly at the entrance, where Xu Xin and the others were.
This made all of them tense up and confront these stone statues.
At this time, Xu Xin also slightly looked at the resources that were emitting golden light around him.
The golden light is emitted from around the huge warehouse, because the area in the middle is full of stone statues.
Around the warehouse, against the wall, there are large shelves every few meters apart.
You can't see clearly what it is on the shelf, but everything, including the shelf itself, is emitting a golden light.
Gold-level resources are everywhere.
"嘤?"
The first one to move was Coco.
Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulder, tilted her head and looked at the surrounding stone statues, and then jumped off his shoulder.
"Coco! Don't run around!"
"Ugh!" Coco didn't obey, but ran to a giant insect stone statue in a few steps, stretched out his little paws and patted it twice, turned around and tilted his head, "Um?"
That's like saying, these guys can't move, what are you afraid of?
Seeing Keke's actions, Xu Xin and others felt their hearts tighten at first, and then realized that nothing happened.
"...They seem to be unable to move?" Zhao Xiaochuan said hesitantly.
"They shouldn't be alive now, right?" Lou Fei'er no longer felt nervous at this time. She walked a few steps to the giant insect statue closest to them and looked at it, "I can feel the movement of the stone statues. They smell like mutated creatures, but I can’t feel anything from them.”
"That is to say, at least they are still ordinary stone statues now." Xu Xin also stepped forward and reached out to touch the giant insect stone statues.
[Beetle Stone Statue (Gray): A mysterious stone statue that seems to contain a weak and strange vitality. 】
There’s this introduction again.
However, the previous introductions of the stone statues did not seem to have the prefix "weak".
The vitality of these stone statues was... weaker than the ones they encountered before?
It's obviously much larger than the stone statue on the ground?
"How's it going, Brother Xin, what's going on with these stone statues?" Wang Lei asked nervously.
Xu Xin told others about his discovery.
"Then... aren't they basically the same as the stone statues above!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed, "If some conditions are triggered, they won't come back to life, right? These big guys come back to life, but it's too scary..." < br>
"Weak...?" Wen Guixin also walked up, touched the stone statue, then shook her head and said, "My ability cannot actively erode this stone statue. They... don't seem to be real life."
"Can you erode those stone statues before?" Xu Xin asked.
Wen Guixin nodded: "Those stone statues before gave me a sense of life, but these stone statues did not. In my introduction, I just told me that they were [mysterious stone statues]. Let's put it this way, those stone statues before , I’ve known for a long time that they might come alive and move, but I don’t think they will.”
"Yes, I feel the same way." Lou Feier also reached out and touched the stone statues, "Those stone statues on the snow peak can at least give me some similar feelings, but these ones don't have it at all."
"Is that so..." Xu Xin looked up at the giant bear stone statue that was staring in their direction, and thought for a moment.
He had a guess in his mind.
Changyin once said that he was originally just a normal resident of this world, but was later turned into a stone creature.
The stone creatures that attacked them before were probably petrified from normal mutated creatures.
According to this inference, these stone statues here...
"This prison here is probably..." Xu Xin looked at the stone statues in front of him and expressed his speculation, "It is probably a processing plant for stone creatures. And these giant stone statues are some that have not been completely petrified. Completed...semi-finished product, or...failed product."
His words made everyone around him stunned for a moment, and then they all started thinking.
"Petrochemical..."
Wen Guixin had already walked into the group of stone statues. She touched this one twice and that one twice before saying, "Are those stone statues petrified from normal mutated creatures? Your guess makes sense! To be honest. , I have always felt that those stone statues of mutated creatures were carved by people, but..."
She glanced at the giant bear with her head and said: "Is it really possible to carve such a big giant bear? The hair is so fine. Moreover, it is so similar to the underground creatures here, they seem to be really petrified. ”
"That makes sense!" Wang Lei hammered his hand and suddenly realized, "I have always thought that those stone statues on the snow mountain should be carved by people with special carving abilities. Just now I thought that carving the things in this warehouse would cost a lot of money. How long did it take for the result to turn out to be like this! Just use real animals to petrify?”
"Is that what you two actually think?" Zhao Xiaochuan was a little surprised, "I felt from the beginning that those stone statues were petrified from mutated creatures."
Lou Fei'er nodded and said: "I also think they were petrified by mutated creatures. All of the previous stone statues gave me the feeling of real mutated creatures, especially the pterosaur. The pressure of the blood was too strong. .”
"You immediately thought of it?" Wen Guixin walked out of the group of stone statues, a little surprised, "When most people see stone statues, shouldn't they think they are sculptures?"
"But they can move!" Zhao Xiaochuan argued, "Can normal carving be moved?"
"What you said seems to be petrified, and you can move after being petrified, so it's normal!" Wang Lei immediately retorted.
Xu Xin felt from the beginning that these stone statues were petrified from normal creatures.
After all, he had long known the experience of Changyin's family, so he subconsciously believed that these stone creatures should be the same as Changyin.
Not to mention that this matter is related to Changyin's family.
Xiao Hong was taken away by those stone statues.
Now it seems that his guess is correct.
"In short, it's not just about being alive. If such a large group of stone statues really come alive, it will definitely be difficult to deal with." Wen Guixin said with a sigh of relief.
"Well, you still have to be careful. Although it is indeed a 'weak vitality', it is still alive. Maybe we can still survive. We still have to be careful." Xu Xin reminded, "Okay, since these stone statues If there is no danger for the time being, let's see what other things are in this warehouse..."
The corner of his mouth curled up and he looked around: "This warehouse is full of golden light."
"Golden light?!"
"Holy shit! Are there gold-level resources in this warehouse?!"
At this time, other people's attention turned from the stone statue in front of them to the surroundings.
"Is this...a shelf!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
"I'll go over there!"
"Then I'll go over here!"
The group of people quickly dispersed, and even Coco disappeared without a trace.
Xu Xin also came directly to a shelf.
On the shelf in front of him was a row of dark red potions.
This potion is not gold level, but purple level.
On the contrary, this bottle was gold-grade, which surprised Xu Xin.
Use gold-level bottles to hold purple-level potions?
A bit outrageous...
He picked up a bottle of potion.
[Mutated Biological Potion (Purple): A potion that can enhance the strength of blood-striped mutated creatures. The original effect was too strong, and there would be a huge risk of backlash if taken below the advanced mutation level. After being improved by the high-grade glass reagent bottle (gold), intermediate mutated creatures It can also be taken. 】
[High-grade glass reagent bottle (gold): Special elements are incorporated into the glass. After the reagent is placed in it for 24 hours, the efficacy of the medicine can be greatly increased while the side effects of the medicine are greatly reduced. 】
! !
A potion that can make mutated creatures stronger!
There are also reagent bottles that greatly increase the efficacy of medicine and reduce side effects!
Good guy, he picked up an object at random, and it turned out to be such a powerful thing!
This thing, for him, is simply the most needed thing!
Silver King, Mimi, Ah Fu, Aifei, Lou Feier, Ma Hongwei, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, they all need to increase their strength quickly!
However, at present, it seems that although the side effects of the mutated biological agent (purple) are weakened, low-level mutated organisms are still unable to take it.
Currently, only Yin Wang, Mimi, and Lou Feier can take this potion.
Only these three have now been promoted to the intermediate level.
Xu Xin pulled out the stopper of the reagent bottle, and a sweet smell penetrated directly into his nostrils.
It smells so good!
It tastes somewhat similar to the red mist when it is thin.
However, the smell when the red mist is thin is not as rich and mellow as this one. And when the red mist becomes thicker, the smell will change from fragrant to smelly, which is very unpleasant.
Is there any essence extracted from this?
He couldn't help but suck it twice more.
It was so fragrant that even he had the urge to salivate and drink it.
"This...what is this!"
Xu Xin tilted his head slightly and saw Lou Fei'er who was standing beside him at this moment, looking at the potion in Xu Xin's hand with wide eyes.
She was far away from where she was just now. She was attracted by the smell of the potion.
Lou Fei'er's throat rolled, and her eyes turned to the row of potions on the shelf. She immediately reached out and took one down, and then opened the stopper.
"Oh my God! It is indeed something similar to red mist!" Lou Feier's face immediately became flushed, she took a sip intoxicatedly, and couldn't wait to pour it into her mouth.
Then Xu Xin stopped her and took the potion from her hand.
"What are you doing!" Lou Feier's medicine was robbed, and she suddenly became anxious, "Give it to me quickly!"
"Can you guarantee that after you drink it, your condition will still be normal?" Xu Xin glanced at her, "What if you suddenly go crazy and attack us?"
Although this potion can be taken by intermediate mutated creatures, it still needs to be taken with caution.
"Then...then why don't you put me in the bracelet..." Lou Fei'er looked at the potion in his hand longingly.
"What's going on?" Zhao Xiaochuan's voice came from far away in the underground warehouse, "What's going on?"
"It's okay, you continue." Xu Xin replied, and then put away all ten bottles of potions on the shelf, "It's not safe here, don't make trouble, wait until the situation stabilizes, or after we go back, you can take it again."< br>
"Then... okay..." Lou Fei'er could only nod with some reluctance.
"Did you find anything over there?" Xu Xin walked to a nearby shelf.
There were ten bottles of the same potion on the shelf, and he put them all into his backpack.
In this way, he had twenty bottles of potion.
There is never too much of these things.
"Ah, by the way, come and take a look!" Lou Fei'er immediately dragged Xu Xin and ran over there, "That thing may be related to these stone creatures!"
Something to do with stone creatures?
Xu Xin immediately followed her and ran to the location where she had just observed.
"This is..."
There is also a shelf here, and placed on the shelf is a metal ball the size of a fist.
It exudes golden light, indicating that it is a gold-level item.
Xu Xin held the metal ball in his hand.
So heavy!
[Radiated metal ball bomb (gold): Contains special radioactive metal elements, which will scatter outward after impact, causing radiation effects on surrounding creatures, turning their flesh and blood to stone. 】
"Hiss—" Xu Xin gasped.
This is...
arms? !
Isn't this a grenade?
Moreover, is it a grenade that directly petrifies the creature that is hit? !
Is there such a thing here? !
"And here!" Lou Fei'er waved to Xu Xin from a nearby shelf.
Xu Xin put all the dozen radioactive metal ball bombs on the shelf into his backpack in a few seconds, and then walked over.
On this shelf, there is also the same metal ball bomb as before, but it is much larger than the metal ball on the shelf just now!
[Large-scale radioactive metal ball bomb (gold): Contains special radioactive metal elements, which will scatter outward after impact, causing radiation effects on surrounding creatures, petrifying their flesh and blood, and possibly causing petrification-type mutations. 】
Xu Xin's pupils shrank.
Just like the ordinary petrification of small bombs, this big bomb is...
There is a chance of producing a petrified mutation!
Moreover, the following introduction...
He turned to look at the still motionless stone statues behind him.
Are they considered to have produced petrified mutations?
"These weapons are so powerful. I feel like we should not stay here for too long." Lou Fei'er looked around, "If it suddenly throws a bomb like this from somewhere, all of us... I'm afraid we will all be killed. Petrified.”
Xu Xin nodded slowly: "Speed up and search. In addition to these resources, are there any clues that can help you escape from this prison?"
"Okay!" Lou Fei'er nodded and was about to turn around and walk away when suddenly Wang Lei shouted.
"Hey, hey, you guys! Come and have a look! I've found the key to completing this event!"
Except for Wang Lei, the others were shocked by what they found on the shelves. When they heard what he said, they all looked at him.
At this moment, he was holding a handful in his hand...
Very large, metal key!
A metal key at least twenty centimeters long!
The entire key exudes golden light!
The four people scattered around the large warehouse immediately passed through the stone statues and gathered towards him.
"Another key!" Wen Guixin was a little surprised, "There is actually a key hidden in this warehouse."
"What is the key used for?" Xu Xin asked from a few meters away before he could reach it.
"Um..." Wang Lei scratched his head, "It said that if you open all the keys to the branch prison, you can return to the ground. I don't know where this branch prison is. Why don't you, Brother Xin, come and take a look."< br>
With that said, he handed the big key to Xu Xin.
Secret passage?
Xu Xin reached out and took the key.
[Vine Bundle Key (gold): The key to open the northern vine bundle branch prison. There are six vine bundle keys (gold), corresponding to the six vine bundle branch prisons. After opening all the prisons, the main vine bundle mechanism will be activated, unlocking the passage to and from the underground world. 】
Seeing the introduction, Xu Xin immediately opened her eyes and said happily: "That's it!"
Finally found it!
Vine bunch branches?
Xu Xin's heart moved.
Could it be that it was the six relatively thin vine bundles that penetrated diagonally downward from the air into the ground that sent them down?
Wait...
A passage "to and from" the underground world?
Post another big chapter!
The word count is not that many, so I won’t break it into chapters
Although there is only one update, there are not too many updates OVO
Although it is a little less than before... The main thing has been busy again recently. Alas, I am really tired
