"What crisis?" Xu Xin put down the control panel in his hand and asked.

He knew that this second stage was definitely not just as simple as cold winter.

"In the prophecy, I not only saw the ice and snow, but also the wild beasts." Ji Chaoyang's voice became a little solemn, "And, not only ordinary wild beasts, but also mutant beasts!"

His words shocked Xu Xin: "After the cold winter comes, the beasts in the jungle will return? Will there be wild mutant beasts?"

Except for those giant beasts and the monsters guarding the gold treasure chest, Xu Xin had never seen any wild mutant creatures moving on the ground.

The blood-striped rabbit and blood-striped cat were both summoned by him from the altar, and the blood-striped swordfish emerged from the whirlpool. They are no ordinary beasts.

"...Not only are they returning, there are many of those beasts, very many. Just like...the beast tide we experienced for the first time." Ji Chaoyang was talking and eating something. He should be eating something that could

Refreshing orange.

"You mean, we may have to face a wave of... mutated beasts?" Xu Xin asked after being silent for a while.

"Yes, that's what I mean. The beast tide may come again, and the enemies this time are much stronger than last time."

Beast tide...

The last beast tide was the first activity after the end of the novice reserve, and it was also the first disaster they experienced. In that beast tide, the average mortality rate in the entire area exceeded 30%, which should have caused the most casualties.

activities.

As soon as he came up, he gave all the survivors a blow in the head.

And this time the beast wave appeared after a few days of calm.

Xu Xin suddenly discovered that this time, including today, for three consecutive days, nothing happened.

The last novice protection period was also three days.

Could it be said that these three days are actually the second stage of protection period?

When these three days pass, will the second phase really begin and the real disaster will come?

Very likely.

However, the survivors now are no longer those who just passed the novice protection period and knew nothing. They can now compete head-on with the beast tide.

But relatively speaking, this beast tide is definitely much stronger than the last beast tide.

Xu Xin glanced at the lake outside the window and felt a slight chill in her heart.

During the last beast tide, a giant anaconda emerged from the lake, scaring him so much that his hands and feet became cold.

That was the first time he saw the terrifying beast in this world.

If there is still a beast tide this time, the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake is likely to return again!

...I hope it doesn't attack the tree house.

As long as the giant beast doesn't take action, at least he himself is not in any danger. Instead, he can let the plant's heart attack and absorb to its fullest.

"By the way, how did you see the new prophecy scene? Didn't you only see one scene?" Xu Xin was a little strange, "Didn't you say last time that you couldn't make the next prediction before the prophecy was realized?

"

"It is indeed a scene, but the time has been extended." Ji Chaoyang explained, "In Qi Xuefei's tree house, the prophecy lasted only more than ten seconds, but if I return to my own tree house, in my prophecy

Indoors, it is predicted that the time will be longer."

"Prophecy room? It sounds a bit powerful." Xu Xin raised his eyebrows, this thing sounded so mysterious.

"My special functional area, most of my decorations are on it. Today I made some more decorations, which brought the prophecy room to a new level. Only then did I see these things." Ji Chaoyang

The voice was a little helpless, "It really consumes a lot of decoration."

Just like his alchemy room, it requires amplification points. It seems that the special ability functional area has a very high demand for decoration amplification points.

"In Qi Xuefei's tree house, my ability can only last for more than ten seconds, but in the prophecy room, I can predict for nearly a minute." Ji Chaoyang explained.

"In the last few seconds of this minute, I saw countless wild beasts and mutated beasts walking out from behind the trees covered with snow, as if they had been ambush there early. The area around the tree house was instantly surrounded by wild beasts.

The crowd was surrounded. And...I don’t know if I saw it wrong..."

Ji Chaoyang's voice suddenly became a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"What's wrong?"

"At the end of the prophecy, I seem to see...human beings?"

Human?

Xu Xin was shocked: "What do you mean? You mean there are humans among the beasts?"

"It's not an ordinary human being, well... it's not necessarily a human being. It's covered in fur, with blood stripes all over its body, it walks upright, and it's holding a tool in its hand... It doesn't look like a chimpanzee either. Maybe it's a special animal in this world?" Ji

Chaoyang is not very sure either. "I have predicted many times and wanted to observe clearly, but every time it flashes by near the end, only giving me a few distant outlines, and I can't see the overall appearance clearly."

Covered in fur and blood streaks all over the body...

Xu Xin took a gentle breath of cold air.

He thought of the first batch of survivors in the dungeon who were forcibly mutated by Chang Yin and others using mutation potions.

Aren’t they all covered in fur and blood streaks all over their bodies?

Really human? Mutated human?

And also use tools...

"What tools are they holding in their hands?" Xu Xin asked immediately.

"It should be an axe, but I can't see clearly, so I'm not 100% sure." Ji Chaoyang said.

ax……

Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't sound like a very strong weapon.

"The mutated humans I saw in the dungeon are very similar to the appearance you just described."

He had already told Ji Chaoyang about his experience in the underground city before, and Ji Chaoyang also knew that he had seen mutated humans in the underground city.

Ji Chaoyang was silent for a long time, thinking about something.

Xu Xin did not speak, he was also thinking about how to survive the upcoming disaster.

After dozens of seconds, Ji Chaoyang spoke.

"Xu Xin, we are afraid that we are going to have to engage in a defensive war." Ji Chaoyang's voice became slightly deeper, "In the ice and snow, the temperature outside is at least dozens of degrees below zero. It is impossible for the vast majority of survivors to go out.

, if these mutated creatures attack the tree house, the survivors will have to defend themselves in the tree house."

"Well, I think so too. Although we have plant hearts and don't need to worry too much, other people..."

Among the explorers, there are only four people with plant hearts guarding the treehouse.

Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Wen Guixin and Wang Lei.

If the beast wave attacks the tree house, then the remaining five people will need to protect the tree house by themselves, let alone the other survivors.

"From the pictures in your prediction, do you think it is more likely that those beasts will attack the tree house?" Xu Xin asked.

"It's very big." Ji Chaoyang said decisively, "I said, those beasts seemed to have been ambush there for a long time. One second they were not there, and the next second they all poked their heads out from behind the tree, like

It’s like someone is directing me.”

"...Those mutated humans?"

"Very possible."

"If you can hide behind a tree, you shouldn't be too big, right?"

"Well, the biggest one I saw was a snow wolf weighing less than 100 kilograms. But we can't take it lightly. I only saw it for a few seconds to know if there was a bigger one behind."

call……

Xu Xin took a long breath and pursed her lips.

A tide of beasts being manipulated and directed?

This reminded Xu Xin of the ant tide in the treehouse defense battle.

This crisis is not going to be easy to survive.

But luckily, he had just conquered the expert in treehouse defense.

Although they cannot provide high-end weapons yet, the new green-level heavy crossbows can be mass-produced.

They have countless green-grade fine wood and animal sinews in their hands.

Xu Xin immediately told Ji Chaoyang about Ma Hongwei and told him about the new heavy crossbow arrows.

"Treehouse repeating crossbow?" Ji Chaoyang immediately thought of Xu Xin, and his voice became louder, "Can this kind of repeating crossbow be loaded with explosive arrows?"

"I haven't tried it yet, but it should be possible." Xu Xin said.

"Hurry up and try it. If you can, that would be great." Ji Chaoyang's calm tone revealed a hint of surprise, "The power of the explosive crossbow bolt and the firing speed and penetrating power of the crossbow bolt itself.

It doesn’t matter much, it will explode after collision. If this kind of repeating crossbow is equipped with explosive crossbow arrows, it only needs green level to play a great role. By the way, can the control panel be mass-produced?"
