"I'll go in first to see if there's any danger now. You guys wait outside." Xu Xin stopped several people.

If something really happens inside, it won't be easy if everyone goes in. Someone has to be outside to observe the situation.

"Okay, you are familiar with this place. We will help you watch from the outside. We will remind you if something happens." Ji Chaoyang nodded.

"Be careful, if there is danger, run out!" Li Wenxi did not insist on following him, but said with some worry, and at the same time took out the crossbow, ready to take action if there was any situation.

"Okay." With that said, Xu Xin stepped into the mine. Coco did not stop him this time, but yawned in Li Wenxi's arms and continued to close her eyes.

After stepping into the mine, Xu Xin did not feel any sense of crisis, the ground did not crack, and everything was normal.

This mine has once again returned to its previous calmness.

Xu Xin looked toward the deepest part of the cave. The bottomless cave that was originally at the deepest point had disappeared, and the ground returned to its normal appearance.

During the defense war, some of the mutated giant ants emerged from that hole.

He walked to the deepest part of the cave, took out his halberd, and struck twice with the tip of the halberd at the original location of the cave.

The land is thick and there is no sign of being excavated at all.

"That's really weird." Xu Xin frowned.

Not only this burrow, he also discovered the red mist flower, plant heart, and three burrows of the pangolin group, all of which disappeared after the defense battle.

Could it be that these burrows are also dead and will close on their own?

but……

He looked at the mark he had just made on the ground.

This mark did not heal automatically like when Xu Xin came last time.

The mine has been restored to the way it was when he first came here. Will it be repaired automatically?

Then can he mine salt mines again?

He struck the ground twice with his halberd.

But the situation happened suddenly.

Just as he paddled these two times, the surrounding rock walls suddenly shook slightly, and countless small stones fell from the rock walls. He could feel that the ground under his feet was also shaking slightly.

"What's going on?" Xu Xin's whole body tensed up.

This is in the "Giant's Mouth", so we must not take it lightly.

Just as he was looking around nervously, he suddenly discovered that the wall on the side seemed to be... cracking?

"Click!"

A slight cracking sound sounded clearly in Xu Xin's ears, and he saw a crack as thin as a finger appeared on the wall.

All the surrounding walls remained unchanged, only here, a crack appeared.

Is there something else behind this wall?

The crack continued to expand to the thickness of two fingers, and Xu Xin discovered that a faint white light emerged from the crack, which was extremely obvious in the depths of the dark cave.

Sure enough there is something!

Just as he was watching the crack nervously, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

"嘤!嘤嘤!!"

"Ah! Xu Xin! Come out quickly! Come out quickly!"

Coco and Li Wenxi's anxious shouts came from behind him, and he immediately turned back to look at the entrance.

The situation he encountered made his pupils suddenly lock!

The entrance to the mine, which was several meters wide, was slowly closing at this time!

The rock at the entrance of this cave is moving left and right and closing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The moving rocks are like living flesh and blood, and even give people a crawling feeling!

Xu Xin quickly took another look at the crack. The crack was larger and the white light was more obvious.

Li Wenxi was so anxious that she almost rushed in, but Qi Xuefei held her back.

Even if she rushes in, it will be of no use, and it will slow down Xu Xin's exit.

Li Wenxi naturally understood this truth. She shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Come out quickly! Come out quickly! The entrance to the cave is going to be closed! Why are you still standing!!"

If this were an ordinary door, they might not be so nervous, but the shape of this hill reminds them all the time that this cave is like a giant mouth.

When the giant mouth is closed, no one knows what will happen inside!

Xu Xin swallowed, ignored the cracks in the wall, and rushed out!

The hole closes very quickly, and it seems that it only takes five or six seconds to completely close!

Only then did Xu Xin realize that the hole was actually much deeper than the last time he came!

The last time he came, the deepest point of the cave entrance was only more than fifty meters, but now, he visually estimated that the cave entrance was seventy or eighty meters away from him!

Even though his physical fitness is much stronger now, five or six seconds is not enough to rush 70 or 80 meters! Especially the ground in the mine is still bumpy and bumpy, which slows down his speed even more!

The moment the cave entrance began to close, Ji Chaoyang immediately took out his iron spear and placed it across the cave entrance, hoping to use the iron spear to block the cave entrance and slow down the closing of the cave entrance without affecting Xu Xin's ability to come out.

But the hole that had been closing immediately clamped the sharp spear. The powerful force instantly caused the entire spear to pierce the cave wall. As the hole closed, the gun body bent and the spear head penetrated deeper and deeper.

Xu Xin felt the mine vibrate more violently, and there was a sudden sound of wind behind him.

But he didn't have time to look back and rushed towards the cave entrance!

It closed too quickly, it was too late!

At this time, Silver King suddenly jumped up from the spot, jumped dozens of meters, and jumped directly in front of Xu Xin.

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately pounced on Yin Wang, grabbing Yin Wang's wolf fur tightly.

Seeing that Xu Xin had pounced on its sanctity, Silver King suddenly rose up on the spot again and rushed toward the exit!

At the moment when the cave entrance was about to close, Silver King wiped the entrance of the cave with only a narrow gap left, quickly drilled out of the mine, and jumped out dozens of meters!

At the same time, the sound of rocks colliding and squeezing came from behind.

Xu Xin looked back and saw that the entrance to the salt mine cave had completely disappeared, and it had turned into an ordinary mountain!

"...Silver King, you really saved my life this time." Xu Xin's heart was beating fast.

"Ouch!" Silver King responded and lay down. It was very tiring for it to suddenly burst out at such a speed.

Silver King's explosive speed is faster again. Although it is still far behind Mimi's ultimate speed, it can already be compared with some large cats.

But what is going on?

Why are salt mine caves closed?

"Xu Xin, are you okay?!"

"嘤!嘤嘤!"

Li Wenxi and Coco both ran to Xu Xin's side. Coco was walking around Xu Xin, and Li Wenxi also grabbed his arm.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xu Xin picked up Coco who stood up at his feet and looked up at him, rubbed her hard and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now, it was really a critical moment.

"Hey!" Coco, who was suddenly rubbed, knew that Xu Xin was fine, so she broke away from his hand and climbed onto his shoulder to lie down.

At this time, Ji Chaoyang and Qi Xuefei also came over.

"You really were almost locked in. Did you just see something inside? Why were you in a daze in the end?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"Yes, what happened to you in the end! I obviously saw the hole closing, but you still stood there like that. I'm almost dying of panic!" Li Wenxi said with lingering fear.

Xu Xin glanced at the hole that was still closed.

He breathed a sigh of relief and told everything he saw inside.

The reason why he didn't come out immediately was because a possibility suddenly appeared in his mind.

There is a gradually expanding crack on the stone wall. After the entrance to the salt mine is closed, will the crack on the wall completely open and he can enter to explore the secrets?

This thought lingered in his mind, making him hesitate for a second.

But in the end, his caution won out.

He didn't know what would happen if he stayed, let alone whether there were treasures or dangers behind the rift, and he didn't want to put himself in danger.

In the end, what he was thinking was, if you can, rush out, and if you can't, then wait!

Fortunately, King Silver finally emerged as the savior and brought him out.

"You paddled on the ground twice, and the whole mine started to shake, the stone walls cracked, and then our entrance began to close." Ji Chaoyang summarized his experience.

Xu Xin nodded and told these people about his previous experience in this cave.

"This cave was able to repair itself before, just like it was healing an injury." Xu Xin concluded.

Several people glanced at this hill subconsciously. The structure like a giant's head reminded people of many things.

"Qiu Ling...are you treating your injuries?" Qi Xuefei looked at the hill and subconsciously took a small step back.

"...It feels so amazing. A hill that can repair itself still looks like a human head, and its 'mouth' can be closed." Li Wenxi murmured to herself, "Isn't it really the head of a giant?"

"...Xu Xin, maybe this is really a giant head. However, it may only have one head." Ji Chaoyang suddenly spoke, and the words he said made several people a little confused.

What does it mean to be a head and have only one head?

Looking at the confused expressions of several people, Ji Chaoyang slowly said: "Because, I know a place where the situation is basically the same as here."

"What do you mean?" Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.

The situation is basically the same. Could it be that he also has...

Ji Chaoyang's next words immediately verified his thoughts.

"Over my side, there is also a hill that will automatically recover after being mined. This is also where I want to take you." Ji Chaoyang pointed to the west, in the direction of his tree house.

"Huh? Are there hills over there?" Li Wenxi looked over there and asked with some confusion.

"Well, it's said to be a hill. It's only about ten meters high. The highest point is only about twenty meters. And it's located four or five kilometers west of my tree house. It shouldn't be visible from here."

"More than ten meters? It's a bit short. It's not as tall as a tree house." Li Wenxi raised her head and looked at the hills of the salt mine in front of her. "It's not as scary as the one here. It must be sixty or seventy meters, right?"

"The highest place?" Xu Xin caught the message in his words, "The hills are very long?"

"Well, that hill is slender. Although the height is only ten or twenty meters, its length is close to two hundred meters, just like a small mountain range. The whole hill is bent in the middle, forming a right angle.

And the main thing is...at the end of the hill, there is a peak shaped like a palm."

As he spoke, Ji Chaoyang raised his arms in front of his chest and made an arm-bending gesture.

"...You mean, that slender hill over there is an arm?" Xu Xin understood what Ji Chaoyang said, and her eyes were shocked.

Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei also covered their mouths.

"Yes, that's what I mean. Before I came to you, I always thought it was my illusion. The hill just happened to resemble an arm, and the hand-like hill at the end was just a work of nature.

"

As he spoke, he looked up at the hill in front of him, "But now, I may be sure that it is indeed an arm, a giant's arm. The five fingers of that hand... are all tightly grasped.

The ground is like...the actions of someone hanging on the edge of a cliff."

Ji Chaoyang recalled the appearance of the hills.

After he finished speaking, the four of them did not speak for a long time, including Ji Chaoyang himself, who was all digesting the information just now.

In Xu Xin's protected area, there is a hill 60 to 70 meters high that looks like a giant's head. The head has a mouth, as if it is telling something or shouting something.

And in Ji Chaoyang's protected area, there was another arm-like hill nearly two hundred meters long!

What's the meaning?

The giant's body is divided into different positions?

"Wait a minute, you said before that the special place you want to show me is next to the altar?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.

"...Yes, that altar is on the other side of the hill. If I step over the hill, I can see the altar not far away." Ji Chaoyang nodded slowly.

The two thought together.

Something to do with the altar...

giant……

Xu Xin's expression suddenly changed.

It suddenly occurred to him that the changes in this salt mine seemed to be related to the altar sacrifice.

This place was actually just a very ordinary mine. When he discovered this salt mine and collected salt from it, no dangers occurred, and Coco didn't give any warnings about the dangers.

Later, a series of strange changes occurred in this mine. The walls of the mine could be repaired, vines emerged from the protected area, and underground caves...

Now that I think about it, all these situations only appeared after he offered sacrifices to the altar!

Especially the biggest change, the red mist incident, occurred after the Changyin family offered sacrifices to the altar!

After the Changyin family offered sacrifices to the altar, a cave appeared in the salt mine cave and the giant mouth, and red mist spewed out. The red mist even surrounded all the hills in this circle!

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other.

There was a trace of shock and uneasiness in both of their eyes.

God?!

"Hey!" Coco, who had been lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, suddenly shouted.

It pushed Xu Xin's face with its small paw, and then pointed in the direction of the salt mine.

"Oh, look!" Li Wenxi also exclaimed, "That mine, that 'mouth' is about to open again!"

Xu Xin immediately looked towards the salt mine and saw a gap slowly opening at the entrance of the already closed mine, and it was gradually expanding.
Chapter completed!
