Although she had reached the border, Xu Xin was not in a hurry to go back.

Of course, he would not risk his own life and go out of the three-kilometer boundary, but he was still curious about why he couldn't go out of the three-kilometer range. Is it because the tree house can only protect them within a three-kilometer radius?

Within three kilometers of the tree house on the map, except for the red dot in the center of the lake, there are no wild beasts at this time. Is this also the fault of the tree house? Or was it caused intentionally by the mysterious sound?

At this time, he already had a guess in his mind, but it was immature.

He glanced meaningfully at the ground outside the boundary. That was the direction he came from. He had walked over there intact before, but now he could no longer go back.

Before, the novice protection period was protecting him, but now, it was the treehouse that was protecting him.

Don't think too much. Nearly two hours have passed now. Xu Xin walked back and returned to the black bear cave.

Standing at the door of the black bear cave, Xu Xin used the compass for the second time.

There was another crisp "ding" sound, and the compass pointer gradually pointed in the opposite direction of the black bear cave, pointing to the other side of the creek.

It seems that the treasure chest is on the other side of the creek, and Xu Xin has to cross the creek.

The creek is quite easy to live in. After all, the creek is not deep. Even though this is the downstream of the creek and the water is already very wide, the deepest part of the entire creek is only thirty or forty centimeters deep.

Just as Xu Xin was about to cross the stream, she suddenly stopped.

What if the monster is not on the other side of the creek, but in the creek?

Then if he steps like this, is he going to die? After all, 40 centimeters of water is not very deep, but it greatly affects people's normal activities and can slow down Xu Xin's speed to a great extent.

"Keke, wake up!" Xu Xin violently rubbed Keke's head, which was lying on his shoulder.

"...嘘嘤!" Keke was very dissatisfied with being woken up by violence, and screamed at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin took Coco off his shoulders and held it in his arms, facing the stream: "Feel it, is there any problem in this stream?"

After all, Coco found the treasure chest last time by following the smell. This may be its intuition, but it is indeed very useful.

"Huh?" Coco tilted her head subconsciously. She was still in the confused state of being just woken up and then pulled out to work.

It jumped down from Xu Xin's arms, came to the water's edge, fished it into the water with its little paws, then turned to Xu Xin and shook its head: "Hey~"

"No?" Xu Xin frowned. Did he think too much? Neither Coco nor the map warned of danger, so maybe he really thought wrong.

Unlocking her frown, Xu Xin carried Coco back on her shoulders, took off her shoes, and prepared to cross the stream.

The flow of the stream was very fast and very cold. As soon as Xu Xin stepped in, she felt the biting coldness. Before she even took a few steps, her whole feet were frozen to the point of being numb.

He didn't know why the water in this mountain stream was so cold. The temperature was obviously over 30 degrees.

After taking two steps, Xu Xin stopped.

For some reason, the further he walked, the more he felt panicked. It was basically the same as the sense of crisis that suddenly arose in his heart when the vines were about to emerge from the ground. It was just not as violent as that time, but he felt that there was a danger.

Things are getting closer and closer to him.

There's something in the water!

There is indeed something in the water!

Xu Xin chose to trust his intuition. He took big steps and ran back. He had not reached the deepest point in the middle of the stream, so walking back was the fastest way to get back to the shore!

The moment he turned around and ran back, there was a sudden splash of water behind him, as if something came out of the water!

"Hey!" Coco suddenly shouted on his shoulder. The voice was completely different from its usual cute voice, but a hoarse and sharp roar, which seemed to demonstrate to the things behind it.

Xu Xin turned his head slightly and saw what was behind him with his peripheral vision.

When that thing was reflected in his pupils, Xu Xin's pupils locked instantly, and he turned pale with fright, and rushed towards the shore crazily.

A crocodile emerged from the middle of the stream, a crocodile much larger than an ordinary crocodile. Its size reminded Xu Xin of the ancient creatures of the late Cretaceous period, one of the largest crocodiles in history, Deinosuchus!

No, Deinosuchus was not that big! It was a giant Deinosuchus!

The almost twenty-meter-long crocodile was lying at the bottom of the stream along the direction of the stream. When it got up from the bottom of the stream, the water level of the entire stream dropped a lot.

However, there was no red dot on the map that Xu Xin had been paying close attention to at this time!

"Holy shit! You can't see anything on this map, can you? What the hell is the creator function? It's a scam!" Xu Xinren ran in front, and the soul chased behind. He ran frantically towards the shore, only taking four or five steps.

He crossed to the shore.

However, what surprised him was that the crocodile did not seem to have any intention of attacking him, otherwise it would have been almost impossible for Xu Xin to escape just now.

The crocodile's attack speed in the water is very fast. If you bite it and then give it a death roll, it will probably turn into a pile of minced meat.

The crocodile just looked at him, just like the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, just looking at him quietly.

Like the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, he has a huge monster-like body, as if he is not a creature of this era.

The only difference is that the giant anaconda is a huge, extremely bright red dot on the map, while the crocodile, which is suspected to be Deinosuchus, is not displayed on the map.

The last one not shown is the red panda Coco on his shoulder.

He looked at Coco on his shoulder. At this time, Coco was baring his teeth at the Deinosuchus, as if to intimidate the Deinosuchus. However, it was of no use. It was too cute.

The Deinosuchus in the stream slowly opened its mouth. Just when Xu Xin's face turned ugly and he was about to run for his life, he suddenly saw a bright silver color in the mouth of the Deinosuchus.

Silver treasure chest?

In the mouth of this crocodile?!

"...can we still have fun?"

"Ugh?"

Deinosuchus flicked his head, and the silver treasure chest was thrown to the shore and fell to the ground with a loud "bang" sound.

The treasure box fell at Xu Xin's feet, and the huge Deinosuchus closed its mouth at this time, glanced at Xu Xin with eyes that were very small compared to its size, and then looked at Xu Xin's alert and puzzled eyes.

, slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

The clear water had now become turbid due to the sand and gravel kicked up by the Deinosuchus, but Xu Xin could still see that the Deinosuchus had not left, but was once again lying at the bottom of the stream.

It has always been at the bottom of this creek! Perhaps when Xu Xin first passed by here, there was already a Deinosuchus lying here!

After all, this Deinosuchus is as special as Coco. Since Coco is not bound by this world, maybe this crocodile will not either.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Xu Xin became. Although this giant Deinosuchus didn't seem to have any ill intentions toward him, it was a crocodile! Its devilish appearance and sharp teeth frightened Xu Xin.

Fortunately, it seems that the crocodile has no ill intentions toward him.

Looking at the silver treasure box at his feet, Xu Xin felt like he was in a dream and got the silver treasure box out of nowhere.
