Chapter 122 Creatures in the Vortex
Xu Xin put the blue crystal into his backpack and swam around looking for similar stones.
Although there are many colored stones at the bottom of the water, most of them are dull in color and very turbid. They are not as clear and transparent as the blue crystal just now. With the ability to identify them, they all emit a white light.
Xu Xin casually pulled out a purple stone and held it in his hand.
[Amethyst (white): an ordinary crystal that can be used for engraving. 】
The white grade crystal will not affect the "decoration" of the tree house.
Xu Xin threw away the crystal and began to look for crystals under the water that emitted green or even blue light.
After swimming underwater for a long time, Xu Xin finally found three green crystals of different colors, namely amethyst, red crystal and green crystal. His identification ability allowed him to see the light at a glance, which was very efficient.
.
However, these crystals are not difficult to find for others who do not have the ability to identify them, because the appearance of green grade and white grade is very different. Green grade is clear and transparent, and white grade is dim and turbid. It is easy to distinguish them.
There were no resources above green level around. Xu Xin emerged from the water and looked at the huge tornado that was only two or three hundred meters away from him.
At such a close distance, the entire tornado looked even more ferocious.
However, it was probably because the tornado had drawn the dark clouds in the nearby sky into it. There was no thunder falling nearby, but bright yellow lightning flashed across the tornado from time to time.
"Keke said that there are treasures in the tornado and there is no danger. Does he mean to ask me to enter? But how dare I enter..." Xu Xin looked at the oppressive tornado in front of him and murmured to himself.
What is the difference between entering this tornado and seeking death...
However, although the distance was only a few hundred meters, Xu Xin still did not feel any suction from the tornado. Only the water he was currently in was flowing in the direction of the tornado's rotation.
The entire nearby body of water was rotating with the tornado.
Plunging back into the water and looking in the direction of the tornado, Xu Xin was surprised to find that the underwater part of the tornado in the distance was actually just a small underwater whirlpool!
Of course, this is small compared to the water part of the tornado.
The thinnest part below the water part has a diameter of tens of meters, and it becomes larger as it goes into the air. The position of the clouds can even affect a radius of thousands of meters, which makes the entire tornado look very exaggerated.
But there seems to be just a whirlpool about ten meters in diameter under the water. There seems to be something rotating in the whirlpool with the current, which can't be seen clearly.
The rotation speed of the vortex is not very fast, at least it is much slower than the wind speed on the water surface.
Xu Xin thought he could get closer and take a look.
But before that, he had to discuss with everyone in [Explorers] to see if he could get some information that he didn't know.
There was no place to stay around, so Xu Xin had no choice but to float to the surface and open the watch.
Ji Chaoyang: "If you have good water skills, you can try to get closer to this tornado. There must be some brand-new materials around the tornado that we have never seen before, which may be related to our survival in the next stage."
Ji Chaoyang said these words after Xu Xin came down from the tree house. He didn't speak again after that. He probably went out to explore.
Xu Xin couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky. If he hadn't obtained this anaconda scale armor, he wouldn't even be qualified to go out and explore.
With his ability to swim fifty meters for more than a minute and exhausting himself until he was out of breath, he could only wait in the tree house until the activity was over.
Qi Xuefei: "Come on, I'll be waiting for you in the tree house."
Wang Lei: "Well... does being able to paddle a dog count as being able to swim? Forget it, I'll just walk around the tree house. I'm afraid I won't be able to swim back if I get too far away..."
Li Wenxi: "I'll just stay in the tree house. This activity is really unfriendly to people who can't swim."
Wen Guixin: "I'll go out and take a look. My skills are pretty good. If there are any new resources, I'll let you know."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I'll go take a look too. There is a reservoir near my home. Before I came to this world, I often swam in the reservoir. I'm not afraid of reservoirs that are tens of meters deep. These four or five meters are nothing!"
Zhao Xiaochuan's words seemed like he was showing off his water ability, but Xu Xin could see that he was more encouraging himself. After all, the shape of the tornado outside was really too bluffing.
Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu have been silent. These two people are very good at water. I am afraid that like Xu Xin, they have already started exploring in the water.
Li Wenxi also sent him several private messages.
"Xu Xin, what do you think? Can that tornado really get close?"
Brother Gu
"But I'm not very good at swimming. The distance there is more than one kilometer away. I definitely won't be able to swim there. Whether I can get closer or not doesn't mean anything to me..."
"Are you out already?"
This was a message sent nearly half an hour ago.
Xu Xin replied: "I am already only two to three hundred meters away from the tornado."
Li Wenxi was currently playing with her mutated cow in the tree house out of boredom. When she saw Xu Xin's reply, her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You are actually so close! If you are two to three hundred meters away, won't you be sucked in?"
"No, but the water flow near the tornado is always moving. If the water quality is not good, don't come here. It is easy to be sucked in directly."
"Well, have you discovered any new resources?"
"Indeed, I will tell you when I get back."
"Oh okay, please be safe!"
While Xu Xin was texting privately with Li Wenxi, she carefully looked at the nearby tornado. At this time, some things were still flying out from the tornado from time to time, mostly stones, wood, etc., as well as the corpses of some wild beasts.
Xu Xin sent another message to Qin Yunlong and Ji Chaoyang, wanting to exchange information with them, but no one replied to him.
...Their exploration progress may not be as good as his own. It seems that he can only rely on himself.
Suddenly, a long piece of wood thrown out from the tornado hit a place not far from Xu Xin. It made a huge splash and then emerged from the water, rotating with the water flow.
Xu Xin swam over immediately.
He found that this piece of wood was different from any kind of wood he had seen before. It was darker in color and the texture of the cross-section looked more regular.
Hugging the driftwood, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her body. She could finally take a break.
This piece of redwood is equivalent to the trunk of a tree, which is much larger than ordinary wood, round wood and thin wood.
[Mahogany (green): a high-grade wood with tough wood, fine texture, and bright color. It is an excellent material for carving. It can be used to make furniture and improve the decoration of the tree house. 】
Decoration again!
Although you can rest on the redwood, it will gradually move closer to the inside of the tornado with the water flow. So Xu Xin collected the redwood and floated it in place.
There are many floating redwoods on the surrounding water that rotate with the current, and they must have been thrown out from the tornado.
Whenever these logs came nearby, Xu Xin swam over and put them in his backpack. Before long, he had collected twelve red logs.
Xu Xin thought that was enough, and he planned to go to the center of the tornado to have a look.
The water plant (blue) will provide the ability to breathe underwater for half an hour. He ate it with the blessing of the dining table, so it lasts forty-five minutes, but even so, the effect has long since disappeared.
Xu Xin replenished the effects on her body, plunged into the water again, and swam towards the whirlpool in the center.
As he continued to get closer to the underwater whirlpool, Xu Xin noticed that the pulling force of the surrounding current was getting stronger and stronger. When the distance was already less than a hundred meters, his body began to be involuntarily carried around in circles by the current.
Xu Xin stopped his movements and let the water flow carry him towards the center.
The speed of rotation is not fast, and he can completely control his body in the water.
Suddenly, a familiar sense of crisis slowly rose in his heart, causing his relaxed body to tighten suddenly.
Xu Xin looked around nervously, looking for the source of danger.
The water is still very calm. The water flow is rotating with the vortex in the center. The stones on the bottom of the water are also rotated by the water flow and are gradually sucked into the vortex in the center.
As he got closer to the invisible vortex in the center, the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The danger indeed comes from the whirlpool!
Just as he was staring at the whirlpool, ripples suddenly appeared in the calmly rotating whirlpool, and then, a large fish nearly four meters in length suddenly emerged from the whirlpool!
