After eating the red berries, Xu Xin immediately took his tools and went down the tree house in order not to waste any more time. Standing at the bottom of the tree house, he saw the apple tree which had grown into a small sapling at first sight.

"That's really fast. Should I take some protective measures? What if the saplings are trampled by wild beasts once the novice protection period is over?"

Xu Xin thought about it, then went up and found a simple fence from the production list. He made a few and inserted them in a circle around the apple tree as a protective measure.

Then he began to collect wood everywhere, and continued to chop until the durability of the modified stone axe in his hand was exhausted and it broke into pieces in his hand.

The next step is moving.

"This is really too troublesome." In order to plan for the future, Xu Xin first cut a path around the tree house. It took so long to cut, and the distance from the tree house was quite far. It was not an easy task to move everything back.

In fact, these woods can be left where they are and moved after the backpack is made, but he is a little worried that these scattered woods will disappear if they are not collected quickly, just like in some games.

"Animals should appear tomorrow, so I need to pack my backpack as soon as possible." Xu Xin thought silently as he carried the wood.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from one direction of the jungle. Xu Xin, who had only heard the sound of wind blowing through leaves and the chirping of insects in the jungle in the past two days, was startled and quickly turned his head to look.

With the night vision ability of Red Berry Big, everything in the dark forest was clearly visible. Xu Xin only saw a bunch of low bushes swaying, which was obviously not blown by the wind.

Xu Xin stopped and slowly put down the wood in his hand, taking only one piece as a weapon.

It's not the next day yet. Judging from the time when the sky gets dark, even in summer, it's only around eight or nine in the evening at most. There shouldn't be any land animals. Could it be... that other survivors have found this place?

"Who's there?" Xu Xin didn't go any closer. He stood there staring at the bushes that made the rustling sound.

The bushes stopped shaking immediately after Xu Xin said this, which made Xu Xin even more nervous. This must be some living thing.

"Brother, come out, I can see you." Xu Xin said tentatively.

The bushes began to shake again, and suddenly a small brown head emerged from the bushes. There were white patterns on its face, its white ears swaying back and forth, and leaves on its face.

Xu Xin looked at the little animal in front of him with a look of astonishment, its little head sticking out and looking at him cutely, feeling a little confused.

"Is this... a red panda? Or a raccoon?"

This little animal was not afraid of people. After struggling hard, it crawled out from the bushes, shook off the leaves on its body, and slowly walked to Xu Xin's feet. It put its claws on the trouser legs of his shorts and made a soft whimpering sound.

Xu Xin had been quite nervous, and when he saw the little animal doing this, he almost kicked it out. However, when he saw that the little animal had no intention of hurting him and was actually very cute, he gradually relaxed.

"It's still the novice protection period, how come there are small animals?" Xu Xin tried to reach out and touch the head of the small animal. The small animal made a comfortable humming sound, but it did not release its claws.

"Is this a red panda?" As he got closer, Xu Xin finally recognized the species. Red pandas are usually cute brown, while raccoons are black and white, with a sly look on their faces. The animal clinging to his pants leg was clearly a red panda.

Xu Xin seemed to understand what the little panda meant and took out the big red berries he had put in his trouser pocket. "Do you want to eat this?"

When the little brown guy saw the red fruit in Xu Xin's hand, he immediately made a shrill whimpering sound, but did not try to grab it. Instead, he looked at Xu Xin pitifully, his little eyes full of desire.

Where did this little guy come from? Or did the novice protection end early? That shouldn't be the case.

This was the only animal he had seen in the past three days. After thinking about it, Xu Xin put the fruit in his hand to the little guy's mouth. However, the little guy caught it with his hand and immediately put it into his mouth.

The little guy narrowed his eyes, a comfortable expression on his furry face, then he whimpered at Xu Xin, turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

"There must be something special about this little panda. Even the black bear in the cave was restricted by the rules of the world and disappeared, but it can still move." Xu Xin felt that this little guy was extraordinary, but since it was gone, he no longer wasted time and continued to transport the wood.

At this time, the iron blocks in the furnace had been melted, and the formed iron blocks were stacked at the exit of the furnace. Xu Xin carefully tested the temperature and found it was cool.

"This furnace is quite thoughtful." Xu Xin took out the iron block and put in 4 pieces of iron ore (green) and 1 piece of iron ore (blue).

5 iron ores (green) can produce one iron block (green), and one iron ore (blue) can make the iron block become blue quality. Putting iron ore in a ratio of 4:1 can produce a blue quality iron block.

Holding the iron block (green) that had been made, Xu Xin hesitated for a moment and did not rush to make a grill. He wanted to wait for the iron ore (blue) to come out and then use the high-quality blue iron ore to make a high-quality grill. According to previous experience, a high-quality blue grill must have certain effects. Since he had the materials, he might as well make a more advanced grill directly.

While waiting for the ore to be smelted, Xu Xin came to the screen on the third floor and clicked on the regional channel.

The number of people remaining in the regional channel remained at 9997, the same as the day before. He remembered that when he first checked, it was 9998. The entire channel should be occupied, but three people died during the initial novice protection period.

"I don't know how they died. Did they fall and hit a rock during the novice protection period and die?" Xu Xin shook his head.

The regional channels are still very lively.

"Friends, there are only a few hours left in the novice protection period. How are you?"

"Haha, I found an apple tree! It's not far from my tree house!"

"This tree house is too small. I couldn't even bring up the wood I cut, so it just piled up under the tree house."

"Brothers, the identification table can be built outside the tree house. The tree house is so small, there is no need to put these things inside the tree house."

"What? Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier? My tree house is already full..."

"Does anyone have any food? I'll trade it for green-grade wood..."

"How come there are still people who haven't found food? This is a jungle, not a desert."

"I planted the tree house right at my spawn point. There's nothing around it except poplar trees..."
