"...Yes...I lost..." He slowly raised his head to look at Xu Xin, and intermittent words came from his mouth.

Regained consciousness?

Xu Xin's eyes lit up: "When did you regain consciousness?"

However, Ma Hongwei did not speak anymore, but closed his eyes, the arms supporting his body softened, and he fell directly to the ground.

Dozens of scratches, dozens of life force absorptions, for him, his body has reached its limit.

At this time, the blood lines on Ma Hongwei's face had not receded, which meant that he was still in an explosive state.

However, the originally bright red blood lines had dimmed. Although the explosive state lasted for an hour, he had exhausted his strength and was unable to exert his current strength.

"You just passed out. This weapon of yours is really exaggerated." Lou Fei'er had a shadow of the halberd that cut her throat. She didn't dare to get close to Xu Xin and looked at Ma Hongwei on the ground from a distance.

.

Xu Xin took back the halberd, squatted in front of Ma Hongwei, and took out a [Mutated Beast Contract] from his backpack.

"Is this a contract?" Seeing Xu Xin take back the halberd, Lou Fei'er walked over and looked at the card in his hand curiously, "The words on it are so strange."

This kind of writing may be the writing of the Blood Pattern Clan.

Xu Xin crushed the contract in her hand, and the fragments turned into dots of light and merged into Ma Hongwei's body.

This time, it was very smooth, smoother than every time before.

The moment the light merged, a notification sound sounded in Xu Xin's ears.

[Contract mutant human, gain points: 0.]

It was successful in an instant. It seemed that Ma Hongwei had surrendered from the bottom of his heart.

good.

"Is this the end?" Lou Fei'er was a little disappointed. She thought she could see some big scene, but the result was similar to the contracts she had used before.

It’s just that the contracts she uses, such as the [Treehouse Transformation Contract] in the silver treasure chest, or the [Mutated Human Maker Contract] she obtained from the dungeon, the crushed pieces are integrated into her body and contracted with herself.

And this [Mutated Beast Contract] is integrated into the opponent's body.

"Is it so ceremonial? You don't have to...what are you going to do!" Lou Fei'er looked at Xu Xin, her eyes widened in an instant, she bounced off the ground and stepped back several meters.

Xu Xin was turning the bracelet on his left hand. He glanced at Lou Fei'er, who was watching him warily, and extended his left hand to Ma Hongwei.

His left hand touched Ma Hongwei, who was immediately put into the bracelet.

Lou Fei'er breathed a sigh of relief. She was too sensitive to that bracelet.

Xu Xin stood up and walked to the tree house with only the trunk left.

He looked at the tree trunk, then took out the blue-grade steel shovel he borrowed from Li Wenxi from his backpack and threw it to Lou Fei'er: "You dig it."

He can let others do the work, but he will not do it himself.

A green-level treehouse would take dozens of seconds to dig, but this blue-level treehouse would probably need to be dug more than ten times.

"I...Okay." Lou Fei'er couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to be forced to do manual labor.

As expected, blue-level treehouses are more resistant to digging than green-level treehouses. It took her nearly ten minutes to dig down the only remaining tree trunk.

"boom!"

The tree trunk fell to the ground, and Ma Hongwei's tree house truly became history.

Xu Xin took out the seed from the tree pit.

It is exactly the same as the seed excavated before. It has not grown in size and has no color grade. It is just an ordinary [parasitic tree house seed].

However, the introduction also mentioned that the shape of the treehouse planted from the seed has nothing to do with the soil fertility, and only depends on the original shape of the treehouse before being excavated. Therefore, this seed can grow a blue-level parasitic treehouse. .

But this cannot be seen from the seeds alone, not even Xu Xin, who has the ability to identify them.

If he mixes it with a bunch of low-level treehouse seeds, he will simply not be able to find which one is the high-level treehouse seed.

It's a bit like a blind box.

I wonder if anyone will sell tree house seeds in the future.

By the way, can this thing be traded on the trading platform?

"Okay, let's go." Xu Xin walked to Silver King's side and turned over into a wolf.

Everything has been taken care of, it's time to go back.

"Oh, okay." Lou Feier also climbed on the wolf's back.

Just as he was about to trigger it, Mimi suddenly let out a somewhat frustrated cry.

It no longer wants to run such a long distance continuously.

"Who told you to come out together?" Xu Xin shook her head helplessly, "Why don't I put you in the bracelet and let you out when we get home."

Mimi raised her head, seeming to be moved.

"Don't, Mimi, you will go crazy, it's super scary inside!" Lou Fei'er, who is also a contractor, immediately wanted to stop Xu Xin's evil behavior and persuaded Mimi.

Ah Fu also made a sharp scream, trying to stop Mimi.

"You can give it a try, it only takes ten minutes anyway." Xu Xin suggested.

Mimi has been imprisoned in a prison in an underground city for decades, and its tolerance for that kind of environment is not low.

If Mimi also has a fear of the bracelet, then the bracelet can really only be used as a means of punishment.

In the end, Mimi decided to be lazy and didn't want to travel long distances, so she was put into the bracelet by Xu Xin.

"It will definitely regret it!" Lou Fei'er persuaded her without any resistance, gritted her teeth and said, "You are the devil!"

"Why don't you go in and be with Mimi." Xu Xin glanced at her sideways.

"No, no, I still prefer to sit behind the master!" Lou Fei'er immediately gave up and put a smile on her face, "The master is doing it for its own good and doesn't want it to get hurt!"

Without Mimi, Ah Fu could only fall on the Silver King and behind Lou Fei'er.

"Let's go!" Xu Xin touched Coco who was starting to feel sleepy again in her arms and said to King Yin.

"Ouch--" Silver King let out a long roar and headed towards Li Wenxi's treehouse in the north.

"Xu Xin, did you discover the core of this tree house yourself?" Lou Feier suddenly asked on the way.

"...What, what do you want to say?"

"I watched the regional channel in District 187, and it's been so many days, and they haven't found out what happened at the core of the tree house."

The core of the tree house is indeed difficult to find. If Coco hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have had the idea to cut out the center floor of the first floor of the tree house to expose the tree trunk below. Naturally, there would be no chance of obtaining the core of the tree house.

You cannot get the treehouse core by directly cutting down or digging the treehouse. The treehouse core must be obtained while the treehouse is still alive.

"Well, I also discovered it because of Coco." Xu Xin touched the little head of Coco who was sleeping in his arms. Coco was his little lucky star.

"Is that so...you think, can I tell them the core of the tree house?" Lou Feier suddenly asked.

"...Why? What do you think?" Xu Xin frowned and asked.

"Look, there are only so many people left in District 187. They can't be our opponents anyway. I told them, don't we just ask them to help us collect cores? Maybe it can trigger a civil war among them!" Lou Feier

I think there is nothing wrong with what I am thinking, "When the time comes, we will also be able to obtain more cores!"

Xu Xin was silent.

He also had this idea. After all, there are very few treehouse cores that can be obtained by [Explorers] alone. But in order to prevent confusion, they have not even informed people in the area about the treehouse core.

.

If this kind of thing were to be announced, it would probably instantly cause chaos.

If it were just like this now, if killing people and stealing goods could only get a parasitic tree house, it wouldn't cause too serious conflicts. After all, the parasitic tree house is basically not of much use to many people.

But if the treehouse core could be upgraded with purple-level materials, it would be too tempting.

Xu Xin didn't want to see this happen before. After all, the advantages are relative.

Just like a group of people encountering a tiger in the wild, the escaping people don't need to run faster than the tiger, they just need to run faster than the others.

And only they know how to obtain the core of the tree house, which is the information gap that can quickly widen the gap between people.

In this way, they are most likely to be the "escapers" who survive in the end.

But now, his thoughts are gradually changing.

Can you really survive to the end by being a "runaway"?

After seeing the words left by the giant, he also knew that the world was not stable behind the scenes. If he escaped the tiger, a pack of wolves might appear. Therefore, he increased his strength as quickly as possible.

Maybe that's what they should do.

Even the speed of improving strength in other areas will be much faster and more difficult to deal with.

"I will discuss it with everyone at [Explorer]. Before that, don't tell Area 187 about this." Xu Xin said after being silent for a while.

"Okay, got it!"

Soon, they returned to Li Wenxi's tree house.
