Chapter 164 Giant Pangolin
Xu Xin told all his experiences and conjectures in [Explorer].
There is still no news about Ji Chaoyang.
Qin Yunlong: "It turns out to be like this. Doesn't that mean that the life and death of people who are unable to get out are completely controlled by others?"
Qi Xuefei: "This...those vines below are actually the roots of the tree house. This is too scary."
Li Wenxi: "I have all these pieces here. I have tried the effect, and it is perfect! I just set up a grill next to the window of the tree house and grilled it, and a thick white smoke came out from the surrounding area.
The vines have all retracted to the ground!”
Zhao Xiaochuan: "This...is this solved? So am I fishing this time? It's so comfortable to be led by a big boss."
Xu Xin: "Don't use it now. When the vines start to attack, you can use this to drive them away."
At this time, Wang Lei and Wen Guixin also appeared.
Wang Lei: "Oh my god, am I not the savior?"
Wen Guixin: "This...it takes so much effort to work for everyone!"
Xu Xin saw these two people showing up and asked, "How is the situation over there?"
Wang Lei: "Don't worry, Brother Xin, the big heart has already started to be grilled down below. I listened to you and fired a few flaming crossbow bolts at it as soon as we met. The vines were lit on fire without even reacting, haha."
Wen Guixin: "I have already taken care of all the vines here, and I just killed this big heart. This is a lot of points. But... we don't have your purple-level table, so we can't trade on the spot... Do we want to do it once?"
Moving back all at once? This would be too troublesome..."
Wang Lei: "It's not too troublesome. Your body has been strengthened so many times. You should be able to carry a hundred kilograms now. The weight of the backpack is only 10%. You can lift a ton at a time. It's not far from the tree house. You can move a
It only takes a dozen times, and it will be done within an hour!"
Wen Guixin: "I... you are really a group of good people. Forget it, just move it. Even if you don't share it with those people, this thing will be quite useful to us in the future. Ah, I found the seed that Xu Xin mentioned.
!”
Xu Xin curled up his lips, how could he be working for everyone? This seed was the biggest gain for them when they went out, which is equivalent to a large yard on the ground!
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Wow, what a loss. If I had known, I wouldn't have given the opportunity to Wang Lei."
Wang Lei: "Hey, you may not be able to rush out. It took a lot of effort for me to get out, and I was almost tied directly in by those vines."
Xu Xin lay on the sofa for a few more minutes before sitting up.
There was one last cave that he had not yet explored, so he had to take a look. Although there was no heart in the first cave, there was a red mist flower that released a red mist that enhanced the abilities of mutated creatures, which also gave him a lot of gain.
There must be something good in this third cave.
The four beasts all thought they would not go out again. Silver King and Mimi both lay in the corner and yawned, while Coco was rolling around next to him on the sofa. Ah Fu was not in the house and should have been hanging under the tree house.
.
"Let's go, there is one last hole. Let's come back and rest after exploring." Xu Xin stood up.
After hearing what he said, Coco climbed directly onto his shoulders, Silver King also stood up, and Mimi stretched her body and walked lazily to his side.
After bringing the three beasts down and calling Ah Fu, Xu Xin climbed onto the back of the Silver King. One person and four beasts soon arrived at the third cave, which was the cave that the Silver King discovered.
"Hey!" Coco shouted just before Xu Xin was about to enter, warning him of danger.
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that Coco had said before that there were dangers in the three caves, so he didn't know which cave actually contained a heart, so he tried them one by one.
"Keke, is this dangerous, or is it the heart that's dangerous?" Xu Xin asked, touching Coco's little head lying on the back of Silver King's neck.
"Uh...huh!" Coco turned around and pointed her little paw at the second hole, which was the direction of the hole where her heart was originally.
It seems that the strongest guy has been killed by him.
Then there was nothing to be afraid of. No more wasting time, Xu Xin held the crossbow and lay on the Silver King.
"Mimi, lead the way, we will rush in directly!"
"Meow!" Mimi responded, leading Ah Fu into the cave, followed closely by the Silver King.
There is not much difference in the passages of the three underground caves.
Soon, within a few dozen seconds, they arrived at the depths of the cave.
Like the other two underground caves, the deepest part of this underground cave is also a hall-like space, but this time, there is nothing in the underground space.
"...Empty?" Xu Xin frowned.
No, it shouldn't be empty. How could being empty make Cocoa feel dangerous?
Xu Xin observed her surroundings and finally noticed something strange on the wall.
It was also thanks to his continuous vision enhancement today that he was able to see that the soil texture and color of one place on the wall were slightly different from other places. The difference was very small, especially in this dark underground, and it was basically invisible.
The difference is like the difference between soil that has been plowed and refilled and soil that has not been plowed.
Xu Xin stood in front of the abnormal wall, took out a spear and flicked it.
With a crash, half of the abnormally colored part collapsed. He poked it a few more times with his gun, and a hole about two meters high appeared in front of him.
Could these holes be drilled by pangolins? Why are they blocked?
Silver King was lying quietly beside him, while Mimi was pacing back and forth by the entrance of the cave. Looking into the depths of the entrance, it suddenly stopped and shrank back slightly.
This was not an act of fear, but of preparation. It gave Xu Xin the feeling of a lurking tiger that was about to kill its prey with one blow!
"Ugh!" Coco also pointed at the largest hole and shouted.
The length and width of this hole are two meters, which is enough for Xu Xin and the four beasts to enter together. After more than ten meters in the hole, there is a corner, and you can't see any deeper.
Want to go in and have a look?
Suddenly, a big head emerged from the corner and gradually revealed its whole body.
The scales on its body were covered with dust, and the blood lines looked very inconspicuous under the dust, but its two sharp claws were unusually clean, and the proportions were a bit exaggerated.
Pangolins, which have always been ridiculously large, are three meters long including their tails!
Part of the body has been strengthened to become bigger and stronger. Even if this pangolin is not an intermediate mutant beast, it is almost the same as Mimi and Silver King before the upgrade.
Moreover, this is probably the largest individual within the same species.
After seeing them, the pangolin was not afraid and even walked slowly in front of them.
"Ha--" Mimi, covered in hair, huffed at the pangolin, and then slapped it.
The pangolin did not hide, and was slapped to the ground by Mimi. However, its whole body was wrapped in scales, and Mimi only attacked tentatively without extending its claws, so it did not suffer any injuries. It turned over and faced again.
Xu Xin came.
This time, even the Silver King bared his fangs and let out a threatening growl.
"Wait a moment, don't take action!" Xu Xin stopped Silver King and Mimi who were about to attack the pangolin, and stepped forward. He was wearing his own scale armor, so he was not afraid of the big pangolin suddenly attacking him.
After getting closer, Xu Xin noticed that many of the pangolin's scales were broken. This was definitely not caused by Mimi's claw just now, but had been broken for a long time.
What was bullying this pangolin?
The pangolin stretched out its claws, tickled his scales, then turned and walked into the cave.
Are you asking him to follow you?
"Hey!" Coco pushed Xu Xin's cheek and shook his head to say no. He could feel the crisis in the cave.
"It's not as good as the heart, right?" Xu Xin looked at the pangolin's back and asked with narrowed eyes.
"...Huh." Coco hesitated for a moment and nodded her head.
"That's okay, let's go in together!" Xu Xin agreed and tightened the crossbow in his hand.
With the explosive crossbow bolt in hand, even the heart can be exploded by it, so you can't be afraid of anything.
The pangolin stopped at the corner and looked back at him, as if waiting for him to follow.
"Let's go, let's follow!"
Just as Xu Xin was about to follow, Mimi jumped in front of him and entered the cave first.
It seems that Mimi is still worried about his safety. Xu Xin smiled and followed Mimi into the cave.
Seeing them following, the pangolin quickened its steps and led the way.
The cave is winding and winding, and there are many forks. It looks like the underground maze he walked through before. Xu Xin silently memorized the path in his mind, and drew a line next to the cave every time he passed a fork.
trace.
Mimi stopped at a fork in the road, looked at the fork in the road that the giant pangolin did not take, and her body suddenly became tense.
Xu Xin frowned, stepped forward and followed Mimi's gaze, her pupils suddenly tightened, and she took a deep breath.
The inside of the fork was still pitch black, a flat space like a one-story office building, only two or three meters high, but very large in scope.
With his night vision and vision enhancement, he could see densely packed pangolins lying in this space!
These pangolins range from big to small, and they are all covered with red stripes!
He even saw a huge pangolin lying in the deepest part. The height alone was almost three meters high, and its body length was at least ten meters.
And unlike other pangolins, this pangolin has no blood stripes on its body, but it is extremely huge.
...A giant pangolin that is the same as the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake and the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream?!
The big pangolin walking in front saw that he did not follow him, but looked towards the space. He immediately ran back anxiously and hooked his armor, as if he didn't want him to disturb the group inside.
Xu Xin took a breath and continued to follow the pangolin.
That giant beast is not something he can deal with. However, Coco said that the danger level here is lower than that of the heart. If it is a giant beast, how can it be lower than that of the heart?
Could it be a neutral unit like the Crocodile?
But why would a neutral unit be mixed up with a group of mutated beasts?
Unfortunately, the map couldn't see the light spots underground. He couldn't distinguish them with the help of the map, so he had no choice but to avoid provoking them.
After turning a few more corners, the pangolin finally stopped at the end of a passage.
"This is..." Xu Xin's pupils trembled.
At the end of this passage, there is a small grass nest, and two very small pangolins are lying in the nest. The little pangolins moved a few times when they saw someone coming, which was a bit cute.
"This is...your child?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
The big pangolin moved its head slightly, as if nodding in recognition, and then raised the grass nest in front of Xu Xin.
Chapter completed!
