Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

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

In case something really happened inside, it would be difficult to go in, someone had to be outside to observe the situation.

"Okay, you are familiar with this place, we will help you watch outside, and we will remind you if there is any situation." Ji Chaoyang nodded.

"Be careful, run out if you are in danger!" Li Wenxi did not insist on following him, but said something worried, and at the same time took out the crossbow, ready to shoot if there was any situation.

"Okay." After saying that, Xu Xin stepped into the mine. Ke Ke didn't stop him this time, but yawned a little in Li Wenxi's arms, and then continued to close her eyes.

After stepping into the mine, Xu Xin didn't feel any sense of crisis, and the ground didn't crack, everything was very normal.

This mine has once again restored its previous calm.

Xu Xin looked to the deepest part of the cave, and the bottomless hole that was originally in the deepest part has disappeared now, and the ground has returned to its normal appearance.

During the War of Defense, some mutated giant ants came out of that burrow.

He walked to the deepest part of the cave, took out the long halberd, and swiped the tip of the halberd twice at the original cave location.

The land is thick, and there is absolutely no sign of excavation in this land.

"It's really strange." Xu Xin frowned.

Not only this burrow, he found three burrows of Chiwuhua, Plant Heart, and Pangolin, all of which disappeared after the defense battle.

Could it be that these burrows are not alive and will close by themselves?

but……

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

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

The mine has been restored to the way it was when he first came, won't it be repaired automatically?

Then can he mine the salt mine again?

He swiped the ground twice with his halberd forcefully.

But the situation happened suddenly.

Just when he swiped these two times, the surrounding rock walls suddenly vibrated slightly, and countless small stones fell from the rock walls. He could feel the ground under his feet shaking slightly.

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

This is in the "Giant's Mouth", and it must not be taken lightly.

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

"Crack!"

The slight sound of cracking clearly rang in Xu Xin's ears, and he saw a finger-thick crack appear on the wall.

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

Behind this wall, could there be something else?

The crack continued to expand until it was as thick as two fingers. Xu Xin found 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.

"Boom! Boom!!"

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

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

His pupils suddenly locked when he entered the target!

The entrance to the mine that was several meters wide was slowly closing at this moment!

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

The moving rocks are like living flesh, even giving people a creepy feeling!

Xu Xin took a quick look at the crack again, the crack was bigger and the white light was more obvious.

Li Wenxi almost rushed in anxiously, but was grabbed by Qi Xuefei.

Even if she rushes in, it's useless, but it will slow down Xu Xin's coming out.

Li Wenxi naturally understood this truth, she shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Come out quickly! Come out quickly! This cave is about to close! What are you still standing there for!!"

If this was 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.

No one knows what will happen when the mouth is closed!

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

The closing speed of the hole is very fast, it seems that it can be completely closed in five or six seconds!

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

The last time he came, the deepest part of the cave was only more than fifty meters away, 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 seventy or eighty meters! Especially the uneven ground in the mine slowed down his speed even more!

The moment Ji Zhaoyang started to close the hole, he immediately took out his iron spear and placed it across the hole, trying to block the hole with the iron gun and slow down the closure of the hole without affecting Xu Xin's exit.

But the opening of the hole that had been closing immediately clamped the sharp spear, and the powerful force instantly pierced the entire spear into the wall of the cave, and as the opening closed, the body of the spear bent, and the tip of the spear pierced 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, he still rushed towards the cave entrance!

It closed too fast, it was too late!

At this time, Yin Wang suddenly jumped up on the spot, jumped tens of meters, and jumped directly in front of Xu Xin.

Xu Xin's eyes lit up suddenly, and she jumped on Yin Wang's body in an instant, grabbing Yin Wang's wolf hair tightly.

Seeing that Xu Xin had already jumped on it, Silver King jumped up again and rushed towards the exit!

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

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

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

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

"Wow!" Silver King responded, lying down. It's tiring to burst out at this speed too.

Silver King's burst speed is faster again. Although it is still much worse than Mimi's extreme speed, it can already be compared with some big cats.

But what the hell is going on here?

Why are the salt mines closed?

"Xu Xin, are you okay?!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Both Li Wenxi and Ke Ke ran to Xu Xin's side, Ke Ke walked around Xu Xin's side, Li Wenxi also grabbed his arm.

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

Just now, it was really a close call.

"Hey!" Coco, who was rubbed suddenly, also knew that Xu Xin was fine, broke away from his grasp, and crawled onto his shoulders to lie on her stomach.

At this time, Ji Zhaoyang and Qi Xuefei also walked over.

"It was really close to being locked inside. Did you see anything inside? Why did you stay in a daze at the end?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"That's right, what happened to you in the end! Even though you saw the entrance of the cave closing, you're still standing there like that. I'm going to die of panic!" Li Wenxi said with lingering fear.

Xu Xin glanced at the still closed hole.

With a sigh of relief, he said everything he saw inside.

He didn't come out right away just now because a possibility suddenly appeared in his mind.

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

This kind of thought lingered in his mind, making him tangled in place for a second.

But in the end his prudence won.

He didn't know what would happen if he stayed, and he didn't know whether there was treasure or danger behind the crack, and he didn't want to put himself in danger.

In the end, what he thought was, if he could rush out, he would rush out, and if he couldn't, he would talk about it!

Fortunately, in the end, Silver King broke out with the Savior and brought him out.

"You swiped twice on the ground, and the entire mine began to vibrate, the stone wall cracked, and then the entrance on our side began to close." Ji Chaoyang summarized his experience.

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

"This cave can repair itself before, just like treating an injury." Xu Xin finally concluded.

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

"Qiu Ling... is healing his injury?" Qi Xuefei looked at the hill and subconsciously took a small step back.

"...It feels amazing. A hill that can repair itself still looks like a human head, and the 'mouth' can still be closed." Li Wenxi murmured, "It can't really be a giant's head, right?"

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

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

Looking at the puzzled expressions of several people, Ji Zhaoyang said slowly, "Because, I know a place that is basically the same as here."

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

The situation is basically the same, does he also have...

Ji Zhaoyang's next words immediately verified his thoughts.

"On my side, there is also a hill that will automatically recover after being mined by me, and it is also the place I want to take you to." Ji Chaoyang pointed to the west, in the direction of his tree house.

"Oh? Are there hills over there?" Li Wenxi looked over there and asked with some doubts.

"Well, it's a hill, the height is only more than ten meters, the highest place is only about twenty meters, and the location is four or five kilometers west of my tree house, so it should be hard to see here."

"More than ten meters? It's a bit short. It's not as tall as a tree house," Li Wenxi looked up at the salt mine cave hill in front of him. "How can this head over here be scary? It must be sixty or seventy meters long?"

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

"Well, that hill is long and thin. Although it is only 10 to 20 meters high, it is nearly 200 meters long, 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 is a mountain shaped like a palm."

With that said, Ji Chaoyang raised his arms in front of his chest, making a bending movement of his arms.

"...You mean, that slender hill over there is an arm?" Xu Xin understood Ji Zhaoyang's words, her eyes trembled.

Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei also covered their mouths.

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

As he said that, he looked up at the hill in front of him, "But now, I may be sure, it is indeed an arm, a giant's arm. The five fingers of that hand... are all firmly grasped In the ground, it's like... the actions that a person who hangs on the edge of a cliff will make."

Ji Chaoyang recalled the shape of the hills.

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

In Xu Xin's protected area, there is a hill of sixty to seventy meters high that looks like a giant's head. This head has a mouth, which seems to be telling something or shouting something.

And in Ji Chaoyang's protected area, there unexpectedly appeared another hill that was nearly 200 meters long and looked like an arm!

What's the meaning?

The giant's body was divided into different positions?

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

"... That's right, that altar is on the other side of the hill. I can see the altar not far away when I step over the hill." Ji Chaoyang nodded slowly.

The two thought of being together.

Something to do with the altar...

giant……

Xu Xin's face suddenly changed.

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

It was originally just a very ordinary mine. When he found this salt mine and collected salt in it, there was no danger, and Coco did not have any warning of danger.

Later, a series of strange changes took place in this mine. Mine walls that can be repaired, vines drilled out of the protected area, and underground holes...

Now that I think about it, all these things happened after he offered sacrifices to the altar!

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

After Changyin's family offered sacrifices to the altar, a hole appeared in this salt mine cave and this huge mouth, and a red mist spewed out. Those red mist even surrounded the surrounding hills!

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other.

A hint of shock and anxiety flashed in the eyes of both of them.

God? !

"Hey!" Ke Ke, who had been lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, suddenly called out.

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

"Hey, 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 opened at the entrance of the closed mine, and it was gradually expanding.

A trace of red mist quietly emerged from it.
