Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 686 - 457: Strange Python - New Privileges?! (4500 Word Mega - )
This kind of scene, Xu Xin completely didn’t expect.
This change is really a bit exaggerated.
The situation is already very obvious.
After the Vine Binding Branch Prison is opened, the corresponding vine binding branch will be retracted directly!
Retracted into that opening, now emitting light!
And when all Vine Binding Branch Prisons are opened, these six diagonally inserted vine binding branches will all be retracted.
By then, there will only be the main vine binding standing alone in this world.
And according to the information he got from the key, by that time, the main vine binding will become the bridge connecting the underground world and the aboveground world, sending them back to the aboveground world.
It seems that giving Lou Fei’Er’s key to Wen Guixin was the right choice.
Her speed is really much faster than his, maybe she’s already heading towards Lou Fei’Er’s vine binding.
He must also quicken his steps!
"Let’s go, Keke, hold tight!"
"Ying? Ying!"
Xu Xin turned around, took a deep breath, and immediately dashed towards the riverside!
The river here is almost identical to his side, with mutated vines growing abundantly, blocking Xu Xin’s path.
These mutated vines weren’t particularly interested in him, even though he was rushing to the riverside, they still swayed in the wind, unaffected. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Xu Xin ran towards the vines, at the same time reached out, pulled out his halberd, and swung it at the vines!
"Ka Ka Ka!"
Dozens of vines snapped under his attack!
Immediately, all the relaxed swinging mutated vines around him stiffened in an instant.
Xu Xin seized the opportunity, rushing towards the gap in the mutated vines he had chopped open, while swinging the halberd once more.
"Ka Ka Ka!"
This strike cut a path to the riverside for him!
At this time, the surrounding mutated vines also reacted!
They immediately lunged at him, whipping forward!
"Ying Ying Ying!"
Keke clung to Xu Xin’s shoulder, its tiny paws holding his neck, watching in some terror as the mutated vines came crashing down from all directions!
Xu Xin pulled it off his shoulder, holding it in his arms, disregarded the attacking mutated vines around him, and dashed towards the riverside at maximum speed!
The group of mutated vines closed in instantly, launching an extremely fierce attack at him!
"Zila!"
A mutated vine scraped across his steel armor, leaving no mark whatsoever.
With a set of purple-tier steel armor on him, he was totally unconcerned about these low-level mutated vines.
As long as he protected the little creature Keke, it would be fine.
Braving the ferocious attacks of the vine binding, he rushed a few steps to the riverside, and with a vigorous stomp!
At that moment, his entire body soared forward into the air!
"Ying!"
Keke immediately poked its head out from his arms and cried out.
This jump directly propelled him high above the river!
On Ji Chaoyang’s side, this river appeared somewhat narrower than on his side from above.
"Plop."
He easily crossed the river, landing lightly on the opposite bank.
After so many uses, his mastery of augmenting his jumping ability was already well-practiced.
He looked toward the river’s source and its end.
The direction of the source was the same as his previous river, so it seemed these two rivers quite possibly flowed from the same source.
Moreover, as he had previously passed the river, he hadn’t noticed before—the giant beasts and insects near the river indeed had deeper blood patterns compared to other areas.
This also confirmed the words of the elder: This "Chishui River," released by the Blood Pattern Race, indeed influenced the degree of blood pattern mutation on the surrounding creatures.
"Keke, is there anything good at the bottom of this river?" Xu Xin asked as he rubbed Keke’s little head.
"Ying!"
He casually tossed the question, not expecting Keke to immediately nod without hesitation.
... Is there something here too?
Could it be...
There are some unknown secrets at the bottom of the entire river?
Xu Xin looked towards the riverbed, the slightly red river water was very clear, visible to the bottom.
The clearer the water, the less likely there were fish; in this river, there were no living creatures moving about.
Forget it, this wasn’t something he should worry about now.
Trying to uncover the secrets of this underground world was still too early for him.
"Alright Keke, we should keep moving forward now."
"Ying!"
Xu Xin took out his halberd, slashing a path through the mutated vine clusters on the opposite bank.
These clusters of vines were a tier weaker than the ones near the special regions above ground that seemed organized for controlled attacks.
Not to mention that his equipment was much stronger than back then, so these vine clusters were basically just small monsters for him to gain points from.
Ignoring the enraged frenzy of vine attacks, he casually walked away from them.
"Ying...?" Keke climbed onto his shoulder, looking back at the mad vine cluster, tilting its head, and sticking out its tiny tongue.
Xu Xin then picked up his pace, starting to run.
Soon, very effortlessly, he reached the bottom of this vine binding branch.
Running three kilometers was an easy task that didn’t even make him break a sweat.
However, there was a problem in front of him.
