Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Xu Xin stared at the small whirlpool above her head and picked up a stone from the ground.

This small purple-black vortex is only the size of a football, and it rotates quietly. The surrounding space is constantly distorted with the rotation of the vortex, as if it wants to suck all the space into it.

Xu Xin retreated a few meters, kept the distance, and threw the stone in his hand towards the small purple-black vortex.

The moment the whirlpool was hit by the stone, Xu Xin saw the whirlpool fluctuate suddenly, and then the stone disappeared into the whirlpool.

At the same time, the surrounding wall-like water vortex suddenly trembled, some water splashed on the ground of this inner space, and even the tornado above twisted suddenly because of this.

Throwing something into this small purple-black vortex will affect the tornado?

...Could it be the cause of this tornado? !

Xu Xin picked up another larger stone and threw it over.

The same situation happened again, but this time the range was bigger than last time. The surrounding water vortex fluctuated until it deformed, and the tornado above the head twisted for a while before returning to its original appearance.

"Fuck!"

A fist-sized rock fell from the sky and hit Xu Xin in front of him, causing him to cry out in surprise.

The twist just now caused the rotating resources in the tornado to be affected, falling into the small area inside, and the sky suddenly rained resources.

Xu Xin immediately retreated to the side of the water vortex. If those things approach the tornado or the water vortex again, they will be sucked in, so the edge of the area is safe.

Many mahogany and crystals fell in this area one after another, and at the same time, the corpses of several wild animals fell, and fell to the ground with a "slap".

The scene was bloody, which made Xu Xin, who had hunted countless beasts, twitch.

It seems that the tornado around here is really caused by this small vortex.

After the rain of resources stopped, he started to search directly.

These dropped objects are all green-grade mahogany and crystals. Xu Xin never refuses anyone who comes, and puts all of them in his backpack. They are all carving materials, which may be of great use to him.

As for the corpse of the beast that was smashed into a pulp... forget it, it's a bit disgusting, and the materials of ordinary beasts are basically useless to him now.

Xu Xin picked up another stone.

He has tasted the sweetness, it seems that as long as he attacks this black vortex with force, the tornado will twist, and then countless resources will fall.

This saves him from searching everywhere, and it is so comfortable to pick up resources on the spot.

There was another rain of resources, and Xu Xin hid beside the water vortex, watching with delight the countless resources falling from the sky, and then stepped forward to search.

Just when he picked up the stone again to attack the purple-black vortex for the fourth time, he stopped.

Because he found that it seemed that every time he attacked this small vortex, it would grow bigger.

The vortex, which was originally only the size of a football, has gradually expanded to the size of a tire. Moreover, in the silent and peaceful vortex that was only silently rotating, intermittent sounds began to come out.

The "woo woo" sound was like a demon wind blowing through the valley, although it was intermittent, Xu Xin could still catch it.

"Is there anything in here?" Xu Xin suddenly became vigilant.

He suddenly thought of the blood-striped swordfish.

Before he came in, he was thinking, where did this sailfish come from? Could it be that it came from this purple-black vortex?

This purple-black vortex is actually connected to other places?

For a moment, Xu Xin had the idea of ​​going in and taking a look, but he immediately wiped out this idea.

It's like the old birthday star hanged himself, impatient to live. He doesn't think he has a long life.

However, it is still possible to continue throwing stones into it. He was a little curious, what would appear when the vortex expanded to a certain extent.

So, the stone in his hand was thrown away.

The vortex moved, the tornado twisted, and another batch of resources dropped.

It wasn't until he threw the stone for the seventh time that the purple-black vortex had expanded to the size that Xu Xin could jump into directly, with a diameter of nearly two meters, and the voice in the vortex gradually became clearer.

"woo woo woo woo……"

It sounded a bit like the sound of a child crying, but Xu Xin could tell that it was actually just the sound of the wind, the sound made by the wind passing through the strange terrain in the valley.

The opposite side of this vortex might really lead to another place.

However, Xu Xin ignored the vortex and picked up the fallen resources.

The number is obviously much less than the previous few times, there are only a few sporadic ones. It seems that there are not many resources in this tornado, and he has basically drained them.

Xu Xin looked at his backpack. There were hundreds of green-grade crystals and hundreds of pieces of green-grade mahogany. Besides, there were some ordinary stones and wood on the ground, as well as dead beasts, which he didn't pick up.

Putting on his backpack, he looked up at the purple-black vortex that had become very large in front of him. In addition to the weird sound of the wind, there are other sounds in the vortex, such as the sound of rolling rocks, or the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.

And... the sound of something squirming.

He is now basically sure that this vortex leads to another place. The vortex that caused the tornado is likely to be something like a portal or a wormhole.

On the other side of this vortex, what is there?

There must be a reason for this vortex to appear here. But he doesn't know where the inside of the vortex is, whether all parts of this world are invaded by underground creatures, whether the inside of the vortex is within the range of the protection zone, and whether he will be directly teleported outside the range of the protection zone when he enters , besieged by underground creatures.

... It would be great if Coco was there, it could tell itself whether the vortex was dangerous or a treasure.

Xu Xin decided to try it out first. He used the watch's tree house building function to create a wooden stick. Sticks can be crafted without a weapon crafting bench.

Because the vortex has become much larger, the bottom edge of the vortex is now only a little higher than Xu Xin, and the surrounding space is distorted, making him afraid to approach it very much.

He clenched the wooden stick in his hand and slowly stuck it out towards the whirlpool.

The moment the stick touched the edge of the vortex, a pulling force came from the stick, and the half of the stick was instantly pulled into the vortex. Xu Xin immediately yanked the sucked half of the stick. out.

Seeing the wooden stick pulled out from his hand, Xu Xin's eyes twitched: "...Sure enough."

The wooden stick, which was only pulled into it for less than a second, was riddled with holes, as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid.

There was some dark red sticky substance on the wooden stick, which still made a sizzling sound on the wooden stick, constantly eroding the wooden stick, and black smoke was still coming out.

"Crack."

The wooden stick that was eroded beyond recognition broke, and the damaged half fell to the ground, falling to pieces, and the sticky matter stuck to the ground, eroding a hole of a few centimeters in the ground, and then it gradually disappeared.

"...Is it so scary?"

Fortunately, he thought that this might be the case in advance, so he made this wooden stick and tested it.

Xu Xin is very sensitive to red things now. Seeing that the sticky substance on it is dark red, he immediately thought of mutant beasts.

"Could it be that this is the body fluid sprayed out by a certain mutant beast? And that mutant beast is guarding the opposite side?" Xu Xin guessed.

No matter what, he would never enter this vortex, it was too dangerous.

But that doesn't mean he won't do anything.

He directly took out his crossbow and aimed it at the whirlpool. If there is really any mutant monster inside the vortex, then create some trouble for it.

The crossbow arrows shot into the vortex, which also caused a wave of fluctuations in the vortex, and the crossbow arrows disappeared.

The moment the crossbow bolt disappeared, the sound in the vortex stopped abruptly. The weird sound of the wind, the sound of leaves, and the occasional sound of rolling stones all suddenly disappeared. The purple-black vortex swirled peacefully, as if returning to its original state.

"What's the situation?" Xu Xin frowned. Why did the sound stop?

Suddenly, the vortex began to fluctuate violently again, this time the fluctuation was very strong, just like boiling water that continued to boil, but it exuded a piercing chill outward.

Xu Xin's complexion changed drastically, and just when he thought the vortex was about to explode and was about to turn around and run away, the vortex suddenly shrank inward, shrinking into a tiny point in an instant, and then disappeared without warning.

What disappeared with it was the surrounding water vortex and the huge tornado in the sky.

It's just that moment. The tornado in the air suddenly disappeared, and some materials that were still wrapped in the tornado were thrown around due to inertia. The surrounding water stopped spinning, and free water flowed up from all directions, directly submerging Xu Xin who was standing on the ground.

Before Xu Xin could even react, she was suddenly submerged in water and choked. He quickly swam to the surface.

The tornado really disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be missing a big hole. The sun shot out from the hole and shone on the water surface, rippling.

But this air hole was quickly filled by the surrounding dark clouds, and the partial clear sky only appeared for a short ten seconds before the heavy rain hit Xu Xin's face again.
