Xu Xin took a look at the record and sure enough, three minutes ago, Wen Guixin had said that she was going out to hunt blood-thorn vines.

...Then let's wait until she comes back.

"I understand. You'd better not go out again. There may be more terrifying things out there. Without her strong fighting power, it will be very dangerous for you to go out." Xu Xin reminded them.

Wang Lei: "Okay, Brother Xin!"

Zhao Xiaochuan: "We are also waiting for Miss Wen to come back. Let's see what happens first."

Qi Xuefei: "I also think there may be other dangers outside."

A wise choice.

In terms of combat power alone, Wen Guixin is definitely stronger than him. At least he would never dare to rush into the group of blood-thorn vines and kill indiscriminately.

Although he had a set of scale armor, his face was still exposed. If so many vines restrained his movements and attacked his face, he would have no way to resist.

Let's wait for her to come back and see what's going on. If she doesn't come back, then Xu Xin will probably be in danger if she goes out.

I looked at the time and it was already noon, time to have lunch.

This time, I'll eat the blue-level fish maw I got earlier.

When he arrived at the plantation on the fourth floor, some of the green-level vegetables he planted had already matured, and the blue-level fruit tree in the middle was basically grown and would bear fruit in a few days.

Looking at this small plantation of about 100 square meters that was already lush and green, Xu Xin felt a sense of accomplishment and nodded with satisfaction: "This looks really good!"

While everyone else was relying entirely on the jungle for food, he had the foresight to build plantations and icehouses. These days, with no access to the jungle for food, most people are starving, but he can still eat fresh vegetables. Although the meat is frozen, the mutant beast meat is incredibly delicious, and frozen meat isn't any worse.

But fresh meat is still better. After this crisis is over and the tree house is upgraded, there may be more space inside the tree house. Then the extra space can be used as a farm, which will be perfect!

He picked a few vegetables and prepared to make a hearty lunch, but when he turned around, he saw Coco standing behind him, looking a little unusual.

It was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly. The sun shone directly into the plantation on the fourth floor through the glass on the ceiling. Even without looking up, Xu Xin felt it was dazzling and kept squinting.

But after Coco followed him up, she just stared blankly at the sky, completely ignoring the glaring sunlight.

This was not the first time Xu Xin saw Coco like this. The last time was the night before the rainy season came. Coco stared at the bright starry sky for a long time, feeling that there was something on it.

At that time, he asked what Coco was, but Coco couldn't answer and didn't even know if it was dangerous.

Xu Xin shielded his eyes from the sun with his hands and looked up at the sky. It was cloudless, just a brilliant blue sky. Beyond that, there was nothing, not even a bird.

"What's wrong, Coco? What are you looking at?" Xu Xin picked up Coco from the ground.

"Hmm..." Coco tilted her head again like last time, not knowing how to explain. Finally, she buried her head in Xu Xin's arms again.

After taking a final look at the dazzling sky, Xu Xin stopped dwelling on it and turned to walk down.

Even if there really is something up there, it's beyond his reach right now. It's better to fill his stomach first.

He grilled a piece of meat for Coco and Ah Fu, and Xu Xin fried a dish with the broken fish maw. While eating, he paid attention to the developments outside, in the regional channel, and within the explorer.

On the regional channel, the total number of people still occasionally drops by one, and I don't know why. So far, no one has shared their experience of leaving.

Perhaps, this situation occurred because no one who went out could come back alive.

After finishing the dish, Xu Xin felt a change in his body. Perhaps it was a feeling of smoother breathing and increased lung capacity. Not bad. He should be able to dive deeper now.

After cleaning up the dishes and just sitting on the sofa, Wen Guixin started talking in the group.

"I'm back. These vines are interesting. They're very aggressive. And unlike the previous ones, they'll split and grow larger the more you kill."

The more you kill, the more you get?

However, she did not encounter any large monsters, which made Xu Xin feel relieved.

Wen Guixin began to describe her experience in detail over the past few minutes.

She was wearing iron armor and holding her most powerful weapon. As soon as she stepped out of the doorway, still hanging in mid-air, she was attacked fiercely by blood-thorn vines. Countless vines below her slammed towards her.

Seeing that these vines could attack her, she hung directly under the tree house and fought the vines with melee weapons.

Xu Xin's mouth twitched. Suspended in mid-air, fighting vines with melee weapons, and against swarms of blood-thorn vines...this combat power was a bit too outrageous.

Fighting with these vines, she suffered serious injuries and killed quite a few of them.

However, during the battle, she was horrified to find that the vines that she had cut into pieces were like earthworms. Each piece was still moving, twisting and drilling into the cracks in the ground, and then growing into a thick blood-thorn vine again within a few seconds!

Each severed part has its own life and can grow into an individual vine again!

"Is it not possible to destroy the roots? Have you tried using explosive arrows?" Xu Xin asked.

"I tried it, but it didn't work. The remaining part of the top will be reinserted into the soil and will be revitalized, as if the land will continue to provide them with unlimited energy."

Xu Xin fell into deep thought. How to solve this problem?

At this moment, his watch suddenly vibrated. He glanced at it and his eyes froze.

It’s a private message from Ji Chaoyang!

"Xu Xin, there's a big terror near the tree house!"
