Chapter 81 The Cave Labyrinth
This is not just a choice, but a maze!
"Have you not encountered any danger so far?" Xu Xin asked Li Wenxi.
"Hmm...is a mouse dangerous? It's as big as a kitten. It has red patterns on its body and its eyes are red and glowing. It bites me when it sees me. But I'm wearing blue-level iron armor. It doesn't bite me. I just shoot it.
It stabbed him to death." Li Wenxi said nonchalantly.
"...You have such a big heart." Xu Xin was speechless. Is this okay?
There are blood-red patterns on the body, and the eyes are red and glowing. Isn't that the kind of contaminated mutant beast that Xu Xin killed before?
Sure enough, mutated beasts began to appear in this event. In the last event, only the altar could summon mutated beasts through sacrifices, but this time they appeared directly and began to attack the survivors.
"I'm telling you, I can still get points now. I killed a weird big rat like this and it gave me a full 20 points!" Li Wenxi's tone became excited, "I knew I still got points.
Way to earn points!”
20 points? Based on the previous reduction of wild cat points from 5 points to 1 point, if it was during a hunting activity, the blood-striped rat killed by Li Wenxi should have 100 points.
The blood-striped rabbit and blood-striped cat both have 500 points, so there seems to be a gap in strength.
In fact, he could also detect the difference from Li Wenxi's description. The blood-striped rabbit directly pierced his blue-level armor, but the rat could not break through Li Wenxi's defense.
Perhaps, the mutated beast summoned from the altar is special.
"Have you not found the entrance yet? Go and search in the cave. I have found them all in the cave. The entrance is most likely in the cave." Seeing that Xu Xin did not speak for a long time, Li Wenxi thought that he had not found the entrance.
Feeling a bit disappointed, I hurriedly told him.
"We've found it. I'll ask you what's going on before I go in."
"Oh, then go in quickly and I'll keep walking around to see if I can get out."
After hanging up the voice, the fear of the unknown in Xu Xin's heart weakened slightly. Compared to him who knew about the monsters in the underground world, Li Wenxi, who knew nothing, was more bold.
Xu Xin chose the path on the left and decided to try one path first.
He used his iron sword to draw a deep mark on the edge of the gap on the left, leaving a mark, and then Xu Xin entered the gap sideways.
According to Li Wenxi, there is indeed danger here, but the degree of danger should not be too high. After all, this is just an entrance.
Maybe he was too careful before.
Coco followed him into the passage, but Xu Xin still picked it up from the ground and carried it on his shoulder.
There are mutated beasts such as mutated rats here. Generally, a certain part of the body of this kind of beast will be strengthened and a certain skill will be strong. It is safer for this little guy to stay on his shoulder.
The cave was very quiet, because there was no sound of footsteps in the leather armor. Xu Xin could only hear the slight sound of his leather armor rubbing against the stone wall, the sound of gravel falling to the ground on the stone wall, and the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat.
Moving forward slowly, Xu Xin kept holding the iron sword in his hand tightly, guarding against possible dangers.
But until he reached the next fork, he encountered no danger, and there were still no red dots on the map.
Xu Xin was a little doubtful whether his map would still work in this passage.
If I had to use a metaphor, it was as if he had entered a dungeon, and this map was a large map of the outside world.
At this time, he must have been below the ground, after all, he had just walked a long distance.
He is underground, but the map can only show the terrain and enemy units on the ground.
It seems that in this so-called dungeon, one cannot expect his map to be plugged in. This map does not show the structure of the dungeon at all, and it seems that it does not even show the enemy units.
At this time, Xu Xin missed the voice a little, the voice that unlocked the creator's authority. But that voice did not sound like that on occasion, and he still had to rely on himself.
Leaving traces in one direction, Xu Xin continued walking forward.
"Hey!" Halfway through the gap, Coco on his shoulder suddenly shouted.
"The monster is coming!"
Holding the iron sword in his hand tightly, Xu Xin tensed his body in the narrow stone gap and advanced slowly. He came to the corner of the stone gap and leaned against the corner so that he could see both directions to the left and right without turning his head.
Taking advantage of the limited space, Xu Xin took out the crossbow that had been loaded with one round, held the trigger with his left hand, and held the iron sword with his right hand.
Not long after, he heard a "chirp" sound coming from the direction he was coming from and the way he was going.
Xu Xin glanced at the map out of habit, but there was no red dot on the map.
"It's a critical moment!" Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help complaining.
The screams were getting closer and closer, and two fat rats with blood-red patterns all over their bodies appeared, running towards Xu Xin one from the left and the other from the right!
The size is just like Li Wenxi said, as big as a cat, no, bigger than a cat. Cats are slim. A mouse of the same size is much fatter than a cat!
Without saying a word, Xu Xin pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his left hand at the big blood-striped rat that appeared on the left.
The crossbow arrow was very fast and powerful. In this small space, the blood-striped rat, which was as big as a cat, had no room to escape. After a scream, the blood-striped rat was pinned directly to the ground by the crossbow arrow.
Screaming and struggling wildly.
"Hey!" Coco jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and jumped towards the mouse nailed to the ground.
At this time, the one on the right had also rushed in front of him. Xu Xin swung his sword and slashed directly at the fat mutant rat. The sharp iron sword did not stop him and instantly cut the rat in half.
[Kill the mutant rat and gain points: 20 points.]
So weak?
Xu Xin couldn't believe it. Isn't this mutated mouse too weak?
Of course, this was because he reacted in advance under Coco's reminder, found a good position to attack, and used two blue-grade iron weapons to easily kill the mutated rat, which is naturally impossible for ordinary people.
So easy.
But...this strength is really a bit too weak compared to the two he summoned at the altar.
The blood-striped rat that was nailed to the ground by the crossbow arrow was still struggling crazily. It had extremely tenacious vitality. Coco standing on the side gave the rat a slap from time to time, but it had no effect. On the contrary, it made it struggle even harder.
.
Xu Xin went up and ended its pain with one strike of his sword.
[Kill the mutant rat and gain points: 20 points.]
The prompt sounded again, and Xu Xin easily gained 40 points.
These points are really easy to get. In this case, after you go back, you can spend the points to ripen a few pine trees to get some logs, decorate the tree house, and build a planting room in the tree house to raise blue-level plants.
Xu Xin took out his boning knife and wanted to decompose the mutated rat's body to see what materials he could decompose.
[Obtain mutated rat skin (blue)*1, mutated rat tail (green)*1, mutated rat meat (green)*8kg]
Good guy, with a full 8 kilograms of rat meat, this mutated rat is really fat. However, only the rat skin is blue grade, while the tail and meat are both green grade.
Xu Xin knew the function of rat skin, so he looked at the rat tail and rat meat.
[Mutated rat tail (green): If you don’t care about its origin, it is amazingly delicious and can be used in soup!]
[Mutated rat meat (green): Meat that has been tempered after mutation. The meat is firm, full of oil and has no peculiar smell. Rat meat is a must-have for barbecue! 】
Um?
Can it be eaten? Why can it be eaten?
