Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 666 - 450: Shocking Discovery in the Warehouse (4,800-word long - )_2
"Petrification..."
Wen Guixin had already walked into the group of stone statues, touching this one and that one, and said, "Those stone statues, were they petrified from normal mutated creatures? Your guess makes a lot of sense! To be honest, I always thought those statues of mutated creatures were carved by someone, but..."
She glanced at the giant bear and said, "Can a sculpture really be made as large as this giant bear? The fur is so delicate. And they resemble the underground creatures here so much, they really seem to be petrified from mutations!"
"Makes sense!" Wang Lei exclaimed, suddenly enlightened, "I always thought those statues on the snowy mountain were created by someone with special carving abilities. I was just thinking how long it would take to carve all the items in this warehouse; turns out it was done by petrifying real animals?"
"Is that really what you both think?" Zhao Xiaochuan seemed a bit surprised, "I’ve always thought those stone statues came from petrified mutated creatures."
Lou Fei’Er nodded and said, "I also think it’s from the petrified mutated creatures. Those statues have always felt like real mutated beings to me, especially that pterosaur; the pressure from its bloodline is overwhelmingly strong."
"You guys figured that out straight away?" Wen Guixin emerged from the group of statues, somewhat surprised, "Shouldn’t ordinary people see stone statues and assume they’re carved?"
"But they can move!" Zhao Xiaochuan argued, "Can usual carvings move?"
"You’re talking as if petrification, and movement after petrification, are completely normal!" Wang Lei immediately countered.
Xu Xin, on the other hand, thought from the beginning that these stone statues were petrifications of normal creatures.
After all, he already knew about the experiences of the Chang Yin Family, so he inherently believed these stone-stature creatures were similar to those related to Chang Yin.
Not to mention, this matter is indeed connected to the Chang Yin Family.
Xiaohong was taken away by those stone statues.
It seems his guess was correct.
"Anyway, as long as they’re not alive, that’s good. If such a large group of stone statues truly came to life, they would be impossible to deal with," Wen Guixin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, but let’s be careful. Although it’s said to be ’faint life force,’ there’s still life force within these, and they might come to life. We should be cautious," Xu Xin reminded, "Well, since these statues aren’t immediately dangerous, let’s see what else is in this warehouse. By the way..."
He curled the corners of his mouth into a smile and looked around: "This warehouse, quite a dazzling sight of gold, isn’t it?"
"Gold?!"
"Holy heck! Are there gold-level resources in this warehouse?!"
Only then did the others’ attention shift from the stone statues to the surrounding area.
"Is this... a shelf!"
"Let’s hurry and take a look!"
"I’m heading over there!"
"I’ll check this side!"
Everyone quickly scattered, even Keke ran off on her own.
Xu Xin directly went to the side of a shelf.
On the shelf in front of him was a row of dark red potions.
These potions were not gold-level but violet-level.
Instead, the bottles were gold-level, which surprised Xu Xin.
Using gold-level bottles to hold violet-level potions?
A bit absurd...
He picked up one of the potions.
[Mutated Creature Potion (Violet): A potion that enhances the strength of blood-striped mutated creatures. The original drug effectiveness is too intense; below advanced mutation level, consuming it poses great backlash risks. After being refined with advanced glass reagent bottles (Gold), mid-level mutated creatures can also consume it.]
[Advanced Glass Reagent Bottle (Gold): Fused with special elements in glass, after storing the reagent for twenty-four hours, greatly enhances potency and drastically reduces potion side effects.]
!!
A potion to strengthen mutated creatures!
Also, reagent bottles that significantly boost potency and reduce side effects!
Wow, he casually grabbed something, and it’s this powerful!
This is exactly what I need!
Silver King, Mimi, Afu, Concubine, Lou Fei’Er, Ma Hongwei, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, they all need to quickly enhance their strength!
However, for now, it seems that although the side effects of the Mutated Creature Potion (Violet) are reduced, low-level mutated creatures still cannot consume it.
Currently, those who can consume this potion are Silver King, Mimi, and Lou Fei’Er.
Only these three have advanced to mid-level rank.
Xu Xin pulled the stopper from the reagent bottle, and a sweet fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
So fragrant!
The scent is somewhat similar to when the Red Mist is thin.
However, the scent when the Red Mist is thin can’t compare to this; it’s so rich and aromatic. And when the Red Mist thickens, the scent turns from fragrant to foul, very unpleasant.
Is this extracted from some sort of essence?
He couldn’t help but take another sniff or two.
The fragrance was irresistible, making even him salivate with the urge to drink it.
"What... what is this!"
Xu Xin slightly turned his head and saw Lou Fei’Er standing next to him, eyes wide while staring at the potion in Xu Xin’s hand.
She was quite far from here moments ago, yet the scent of the potion lured her over.
Lou Fei’Er’s throat moved as her gaze shifted to the entire row of potions on the shelf, immediately reaching out to grab one, then opening its stopper.
