Chapter 33 Strange Floral Scent
Xu Xin now feels that she is in danger.
He did have the idea of going out and giving it a try, but it was just an idea. His caution made it impossible for him to put the idea into practice.
But the fact is that he seemed to have lost his mind, conquered by the desire in his heart, and walked out easily.
"There must be something affecting me around here!" Xu Xin looked around vigilantly. There were still common poplar forests and low shrubs.
Only then did he realize that the energy-boosting effect of the oranges (blue) he had eaten in the tree house had lost its effectiveness.
Xu Xin took out an orange (blue) from her backpack and ate it. Her spirits were lifted again, her fatigue was gone, and her mind instantly became much clearer.
The surroundings are very quiet. The jungle at night always gives people a dark, cold and dangerous feeling.
Xu Xin stared closely at the crack in the ground, from which the vines just emerged.
"As long as I go out of the three-kilometer range, there will be vines coming out of the ground to attack me?" Xu Xin's mind regained its clarity and began to think, "The position I am standing now is less than one meter away from the outside of the boundary. Such a short distance
The distance, can’t those vines come in?”
Xu Xin suddenly remembered the vine that guarded the copper treasure chest before. After it appeared, it only attacked him twice, and it became dry and brittle.
He just gradually shrank back underground.
It seems that within three kilometers, he is indeed protected.
In order to confirm what she was thinking, Xu Xin tensed up her mind and body and stretched out her feet again.
This time he was not out of his wits, it was his own well-thought-out action.
Sure enough, a red dot on the map quickly lit up. Xu Xin ducked her feet to the side, and a vine that was thicker than the one before broke through the ground, suddenly drilled out, and rushed six or seven meters straight.
High in the air.
There are even dense blood-red barbs growing on this vine, which makes people feel chilly.
At this time, Xu Xin's foot was still out of bounds, and the vine twisted in the air and swung directly towards Xu Xin's ankle.
Xu Xin quickly took her feet back to her side and hid behind her.
But the vine did not enter the boundary. It suddenly stopped outside the boundary, as if there was an invisible wall on the three-kilometer dividing line.
Under Xu Xin's vigilant gaze, the vine did not attack him again. The vine twisted and turned a few times, then seemed to give up and slowly retracted underground.
"Is that true?" Xu Xin squinted her eyes and thought, "As long as I step out of the protection range, those weird creatures underground will attack me, but as long as I return to this range, even if those creatures have already launched an attack,
I won’t chase you in either.”
Is it because after chasing in, it will break like the vines that guarded the copper treasure chest before? Then how to explain the giant crocodile and why the giant Deinocrocodile with the silver treasure chest can move within the protection range?
Although he couldn't figure it out, Xu Xin was at least certain that there must be something around him that was affecting his mind, trying to lure him out of the three-kilometer protection range and let these underground vines kill him.
Could it be the monster guarding the golden treasure chest?
Xu Xin patted the little guy in her arms.
Coco twisted in his arms and slowly opened her eyes: "Huh?"
"Coco, can you feel anything unusual around you?"
Coco rubbed her eyes with her paws, and then Xu Xin felt that the soft little fur ball in her arms suddenly became tight.
"Hey!" Coco suddenly jumped out of his arms, stood up nervously in the direction behind Xu Xin, raised his two paws, and made a gesture of danger.
Xu Xin took out the stone spear and pointed it in that direction.
Coco stretched out her paw and tugged on Xu Xin's trouser legs, signaling Xu Xin to follow him.
Xu Xin looked at him worriedly: "You have to be careful not to be attacked by surprise."
"Hey!"
That direction was a place Xu Xin had never been to before, and the map was completely dark.
Not long after walking, only a few hundred meters away, Xu Xin seemed to smell a special fragrance in the air, which became more and more obvious as he moved forward.
Xu Xin rubbed her irritated nose, feeling a little unsure: "Is this... the fragrance of flowers?"
As she continued walking, Xu Xin found that the surrounding poplar trees seemed to become sparse, and the weeds and shrubs under her feet were no longer all there. Gradually, there were some small yellow flowers, swaying gently in the wind.
The fragrance of the flowers assaulted her nostrils, and Xu Xin's consciousness became a little trance-like, and she involuntarily quickened her pace.
But he immediately realized something was wrong and pinched his arm hard to regain his clarity of consciousness.
"It's this floral fragrance! It was this floral fragrance that lured me out of the protection zone just now!"
Maybe it was because the scent of flowers was relatively thin in the previous position and deceived his sense of smell, but at this moment Xu Xin had already felt that the feeling that affected his mind was exactly the same as before.
Thinking of this, Xu Xin quickly picked up her clothes and covered her mouth and nose. Then she felt that this would affect her activities, so she took off her clothes and tied them on her face.
"Coco, come back, let's go together." Now that we've sensed the danger, we can't let Coco take the lead.
"Hey!" Coco didn't seem to be affected by the fragrance of the flowers, and quickly climbed up Xu Xin's legs and onto his shoulders.
This little guy is really mysterious.
Xu Xin held the stone spear in hand and continued to walk forward.
The surrounding poplar trees were getting sparser and sparse, and there were more and more yellow flowers on the ground. Even though Xu Xin had covered his mouth and nose, the pungent floral fragrance still made him frown.
I don’t know whether it was due to the high level of mental stress he was experiencing at this time or the effect of the oranges (blue) he ate. Although the smell was pungent, it did not seem to have an impact on his mind again.
"Huh? That's..." Xu Xin suddenly stopped.
There were no more poplar trees around, and now there was a sea of bright yellow flowers under his feet. And right in front of his eyes, a golden treasure box was placed brightly in the middle of this sea of flowers.
"Golden treasure chest?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would find a gold treasure chest here.
"Huh?" Coco on his shoulder turned to look at him.
Xu Xin did not continue walking forward, nor did he rush up to open the treasure chest. He always felt that something was strange.
This golden treasure chest must not be obtained so easily. There must be a huge crisis hidden under this sea of flowers.
There are no red dots on the map in his mind, but Xu Xin still never forgets to pay attention to the map. Although the map will not show the monsters underground, it will give a warning before the monsters emerge from the surface, which is enough.
Holding the stone spear tightly, Xu Xin slowly, slowly walked towards the gold treasure chest.
According to Xu Xin's speculation just now, this monster will infinitely amplify his inner thoughts and make him forget everything to complete the thoughts. Therefore, he must work hard to fight against the desires in his heart.
However, Xu Xin didn't feel anything unusual about herself at this time, her head was unusually clear, and she didn't feel like she had just had an inflated inner desire and a strong desire to put her ideas into practice.
Nothing happened, Xu Xin just walked to the edge of the gold treasure chest step by step.
Standing in front of the gold treasure chest, Xu Xin was a little puzzled.
