Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse
Chapter 245 Reappearance of the purple-black vortex, the secret in the hills (4000 words)
Li Wenxi looked at the salt mines all over the floor, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was about to call it a day.
"This should be enough, right?" She nodded with satisfaction, and raised her head to ask Xu Xin if it was enough, but found that Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang had gone deep into the mine again.
"These two people, didn't they agree not to go deeper!" Li Wenxi stomped her feet, a little dissatisfied and worried, but this mine was so weird that she didn't dare to yell loudly for the two to come back.
No, they must be let out!
Li Wenxi thought for a while, and while packing up the salt mine on the ground, she sent a voice message directly to Xu Xin, wanting to tell him to come out quickly, not to stay in the depths, it's too dangerous.
As a result, the voice did not get through.
"Huh?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, "What's the situation? There is no signal in this mine?"
She glanced at the two people who were looking at a wall over there, and called again.
Still can't get through.
She didn't believe in evil, looked at Qi Xuefei who was observing the situation at the entrance of the cave, and called Qi Xuefei.
Qi Xuefei's watch vibrated, she raised her hand to look at the watch, then froze for a moment, then looked at Li Wenxi, but there was no connection, she raised her hand and said, "What is this for? Why are you calling me so close?"
The distance between the two is only ten meters, and they can still hear clearly.
"Huh? Sister Xuefei can communicate? Then why..." Li Wenxi turned to look inside the cave.
Then she froze.
The depths of the cave have become empty, without the shadow of the two beasts, the cave is extremely quiet.
"Huh?" Li Wenxi thought she was dazzled, rubbed her eyes, and looked into the cave again.
The depths of the cave are still empty.
Li Wenxi gradually opened her eyes wide, and was stunned for two seconds.
"...Sister Xuefei, they're gone! They're all gone!" Li Wenxi recovered from her shock, turned her head to look for Qi Xuefei, and found that Qi Xuefei had already walked over, standing behind her, frowned. Frowning and looking inside.
"I saw them, but they disappeared suddenly." Qi Xuefei was also very shocked at this time.
She has been paying attention to the two people over there, and in the blink of an eye just now, the two people and the beast over there have disappeared, because the depth of the hole is very dark, and she didn't eat red berries, so she didn't see clearly What is the situation.
She just saw it faintly, as if a mass of black things flashed past. The cave was already very dark, and that thing was even darker, it was pitch black, because it was only a moment, and she couldn't guarantee that she could see it clearly.
She told Li Wenxi about it.
"A... black thing?" Li Wenxi looked into the depths. She had eaten red berries before, so she could see everything inside clearly. She remembered that Xu Xin and the two were by a side wall just now, and she didn't know what they were checking.
She took two deep breaths to calm down a little.
When Xu Xin was around, she could still act according to her temperament, but now that Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were missing, she had to be steady.
She took out the crossbow from her backpack and looked into the depths of the cave: "Sister Xuefei, let me go in and have a look. There must be something weird about the wall they have been observing. That wall should be the one that Xu Xin just said. Yes, a wall that emits a bright white light after cracking."
Qi Xuefei held her back, and said softly: "Don't worry. It doesn't matter for now, they are not dead. Their names are still on the watch, and they haven't faded, which means they are still alive."
"But……"
"Look, the white horse is still sitting at the entrance of the cave, nothing has changed, and its mood is also very stable, which means that its owner should have no problem now."
Qi Xuefei didn't intend to let Li Wenxi risk her life.
In terms of personal strength, the two missing people are each stronger than them, and beside them is a silver king who can also be called a leader among mid-level mutant beasts.
If they can't solve the problem, even if they can find them, they will just die.
If it is a problem that they can barely solve, if the two of them have non-combat capabilities and are not strong in combat power, it will become a burden instead.
She shared her thoughts with Li Wenxi. Although Li Wenxi was still worried, she didn't insist anymore.
Indeed, the two of them are not powerful beings at all, and even if they can meet, they are only protected.
"Sister Gui Xin's abilities are more useful..." Li Wenxi sighed.
She also really wanted to have Wen Guixin's strength. If it was Wen Guixin, she would definitely rush in to save people with great confidence.
It's not like her, who wants to save others, but has to worry about becoming a burden on herself.
"Don't underestimate yourself, our ability is also unmatched by Wen Guixin." Qi Xuefei comforted.
"Um……"
Li Wenxi opened her watch and found that the names of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were still normal, which made her feel relieved for the time being.
"The two of us, just wait at the entrance of the cave for a while." Qi Xuefei pulled her out of the entrance of the mine, "If they don't come out after dark, it's not too late for us to find them."
"...These two guys brought us here, but they themselves disappeared. How can we go back!" Although Li Wenxi said so, she had no intention of leaving at all, and looked into the depths with a worried expression.
"There is still a white horse..." Qi Xuefei looked at the white horse, "It's a pity that it doesn't listen to us."
"Hope they're okay..."
"Don't worry, they all have my healing medicine on them, and they will basically not die." Qi Xuefei comforted, she looked into the depths of the mine, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
The two stood quietly at the entrance of the cave for dozens of seconds.
"...I don't want to wait here any more! I'm going to be scared to death!" Li Wenxi couldn't take it anymore.
She handed a backpack to Qi Xuefei: "Sister Xuefei, look here, this backpack contains a lot of salt ore I just collected, put it here first, I won't carry it with you, it's quite heavy Yes. There are a lot of metal ores around here, I will go and see what can be mined, at least do something I can do."
"Okay, you go, let me watch here, if there is danger, we will contact each other." Qi Xuefei raised her left hand with the watch, "Is the pill on you still enough?"
"That's enough, Miss Xuefei, then I'm leaving!"
...
On the other side, in a strange cave.
"Huh? Huh?" Ke Ke circled around Xu Xin who was sitting on the ground in a daze, then jumped on him and pushed him with her little paw, "Huh!"
"I'm fine, Keke." Xu Xin rubbed his temples to relieve dizziness, and touched Keke's small head with the other hand.
"Hey." Seeing that Xu Xin was fine, Ke Ke shook her tail reassuringly, and ran to ask Yin Wang who was sitting on the ground shaking his head.
"That was the purple-black vortex just now? Did you see it clearly?" Ji Zhaoyang was also sitting beside him at this time, with one hand resting on his forehead.
"Well, it is indeed, it is the purple-black vortex." Xu Xin slowly stood up from the ground and responded.
Just now, after they found nothing, they had already decided to leave the cave.
But at this moment, Ke Ke suddenly jumped up from his arms, Xu Xin wanted to catch it but failed, and let it hit the wall they had been checking over there.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Ke Ke's small body did not hit the wall directly, but passed through it with a "squeak".
At the same time, a purple-black vortex was generated from where Coco passed through, and expanded instantly.
Before he could react, his eyes were instantly surrounded by a piece of purple-black, and all he could see was a piece of purple-black!
Then, the sense of weightlessness invaded his whole body, and he felt as if he had fallen from a high altitude, experiencing the feeling of a free fall.
It was very exciting, but when it happened suddenly, he almost screamed out!
However, this process only lasted a few seconds, and the feeling of stepping on the ground came from under his feet.
In an instant, his heart, which was about to jump out of his mouth, felt a sense of security.
But what followed was an unparalleled sense of dizziness and vomiting. He couldn't stand still and fell directly to the ground.
"What's going on here..." Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Xu Xin was really confused.
In front of him was a cave, similar to a salt mine cave, a large cave with a height of three to four meters. The cave was a bit damp, and the sound of water droplets could be heard from time to time. There are some sharp stone pillars protruding up and down everywhere in the cave.
This is a cave!
Looking behind him, behind him is the end of the cave, which is an ordinary cave wall with unevenness.
Xu Xin felt dizzy again, feeling that she was still a little unsteady, and subconsciously wanted to support the wall.
But thinking that the situation just now was caused by Ke Ke touching the wall, he immediately retracted his hand for a while, but staggered on his feet, unable to stand firmly, and still supported the wall with one hand.
This time, nothing happened, it was just an ordinary wall.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, but also a little lost.
It seems that there is no way to go back through the same method.
"You should have seen that vortex just now, right?" Ji Zhaoyang also stood up unsteadily, shook his head, cleared his mind, and asked Xu Xin.
"...Well, I saw it once. In the center of the tornado during the rainy season, there is such a purple-black vortex."
At the beginning, he concluded that the other side of the vortex was connected to other places, just like a portal, and the ability of his coordinates should be similar.
The backside of the tornado vortex was very dangerous. Not only did he feel a strong pull on the wooden stick he stretched out, but after being pulled back, it was already corroded beyond recognition.
But where is this place? Was he teleported to the other side of the wall?
Looking at the surrounding rock walls, as well as a cave in front of it that is similar to a salt mine cave, with no end in sight, and a somewhat curved cave, a map emerged in Xu Xin's mind.
The position he was in now surprised him.
"...Now our position is still inside this circle of hills, but..."
"But what's the matter?" Ji Zhaoyang was looking at the deep cave in front of him. Hearing what Xu Xin said, he remembered that one of his abilities is map authority, which allows him to see his location.
"However, it is far away from the salt mine, basically at the other end of the hilly resource area."
Xu Xin looked at his current position and was very surprised.
He thought that he might just be on the other side of that wall, but he never expected that he... had already crossed the entire hilly resource area!
If you connect his current location with the location of the salt mine cave, it is basically equivalent to a diameter of the entire circular hilly resource area, which really spans the entire resource area.
He checked the time again, and there was nothing wrong with it. The transmission time just now was only a few seconds.
"Huh?" Ke Ke ran back to Xu Xin's feet, climbed up along his body, and wanted to climb back onto Xu Xin's shoulders, but Xu Xin directly grabbed the back of her neck and brought her to her eyes.
One person and one small panda stared with wide eyes.
"You little guy, what are you touching for nothing!" Xu Xin was furious when she saw Ke Ke. It was because of this little guy running around that they were sucked into this place.
"Hey..." Ke Ke was originally dissatisfied with being picked up by Xu Xin, but after hearing his words, both her small head and big tail drooped, as if she realized her mistake.
"Forget it... It's all here, let's contact Wen Xi and the others first." Xu Xin shook her head, hugged Ke Ke in her arms, and sent a voice message to Li Wenxi.
"No, I've tried it. It's impossible to communicate with the watch here." Ji Zhaoyang walked to Xu Xin's side, and his voice sank, "There should be some secrets in the place where the watch cannot be communicated. It is not allowed to communicate with other people." Sharing, that's why the communication is temporarily banned."
The secret of the world?
He seems to have been banned from communicating only in the dungeon, and in that dungeon, he did meet the Changyin family that existed before the end of the world, and learned part of the truth about this world.
As for the previous underground world, he didn't have a watch at that time, but communication should also be prohibited in that place.
"Then we are right this time?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
"Indeed, here may be the place we are looking for."
They came here to explore, just to find out the truth about the fact that there are so many capable people in this nearby area, maybe they can find it now!
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Ke Ke, who was huddled in his arms because of something wrong, immediately pricked up her little ears, raised her head to look at Xu Xin, and scratched his scales with her little paws: " Hey! Hey, hey!"
"Okay, okay, I know you do that because you think there are good things here." Xu Xin touched Keke's little head and said with a smile.
In this way, they really came in by relying on Ke Ke's feeling. If Ke Ke didn't jump up suddenly, they might have gone out of the mine by now.
"Hey!" Ke Ke also raised her head, and climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder twice.
"Aww!" Silver King had also returned to normal, and walked to Xu Xin's side.
Looking at Ji Chaoyang who was standing by and looking into the depths of the cave, Xu Xin smiled.
This lineup is much stronger than when he was exploring the dungeon by himself, so there is no need to worry too much.
I just don't know what happened to the two people outside, I hope they don't get sucked in too, just wait outside, after all, if he encounters any danger, he still has the confidence to deal with it, Ji Chaoyang doesn't need to worry about him, but with Looking at those two people, I was really a little afraid of what would happen.
Those two people are very important in the team, and the situation must not be allowed to happen to them!
After waiting in place for a long time, seeing that neither of them came over, Xu Xin and Ji Zhaoyang looked at each other and nodded.
It seems that either the purple-black vortex will not appear again, or they are very smart and did not come in, but chose to wait.
Either way, it's not bad.
"Let's go." Xu Xin took a step towards the depths of the cave, "Go and find the secret of this area!"
Thank you [Guanhe 1987] for the reward of 500 starting coins, and thank you for your support again! thanks thanks!
