Chapter 158: True and False Burrow (Another 4000 words!)

However, he still trusted Coco and ran towards that direction.

Sure enough, before I had run a few dozen meters, I keenly smelled a faint fragrance.

It's the smell of diluted red mist!

Xu Xin quickened his pace and finally found a hole about one or two meters in diameter hidden by several trees.

"Well done, Coco. It really depends on you!" Xu Xin rubbed Coco's head hard.

"Hmm!" Coco raised her little head.

The cave was just as Ji Chaoyang said, slanting downward with a slope of about 30 degrees, and facing exactly the bottom of the tree house.

It looks like this is the hole.

Xu Xin took a deep breath and prepared to shout to call the other three beasts over.

“Ouch—”

Before he could shout, the Silver King's wolf howl sounded from the east of the tree house.

"……ah?"

What's going on?! Isn't the cave on his side? Is something wrong with the Silver King?

Xu Xin glanced at the map. There were no red dots around the Silver King's position. It also stopped at one position and did not move any further.

On his side, a dark circular symbol had appeared, representing the cave Xu Xin had just discovered. It was quite convenient to be able to mark the cave on the map after discovering it.

"Let's go check on the Silver King first. Something might have happened there."

"Hmm!"

Xu Xin had just taken two steps when he heard Ah Fu's faint scream from the northwest of the tree house. On the map, Ah Fu also stopped at the side of a cave and did not move.

"What's going on?" Xu Xin had already noticed something was wrong.

Could it be that there are multiple caves in the ground?

There was nothing unusual about Mimi Red Dot. After hearing the wolf howl of Silver King, it ran directly towards Silver King and quickly arrived at Silver King's position. Then it heard Ah Fu's call again. It stayed for two seconds and ran towards Ah Fu's position again.

"Let's go find the Silver King first." Xu Xin didn't waste any time and ran quickly towards the Silver King.

It was only a thousand meters away, but with Xu Xin's current physical condition, he reached the destination in two minutes. In addition, with the enhancement effect on his body, he didn't even have to breathe heavily.

Xu Xin could smell the fragrance from just a few dozen meters away.

Sure enough, there is a hole here too!

Quickly passing through the jungle, he saw the lying Silver King and a two-meter-diameter hole next to the Silver King.

The moment he discovered this cave, another cave mark appeared on the map. Looking at the two identical cave marks on the map, Xu Xin sighed.

As expected, there were several holes in the ground. This was troublesome.

Xu Xin walked forward and looked into the cave. Sure enough, it also sloped downward, toward the base of the tree house. A faint fragrance wafted out, almost identical to the cave he had discovered.

"Hmm!" "Ah?" Coco began to communicate with the Silver King.

Mimi is back too.

After a few seconds of chatting, Keke began to gesture towards Xu Xin.

Xu Xin immediately understood: "Is there also a cave over there, Ah Fu?"

"Hmm." Coco nodded.

Xu Xin jumped onto the wolf: "Go over there first!"

He had to mark the holes first, so he wouldn't lose track of them later. Of these holes, perhaps only one led to the "heart."

Ji Chaoyang was able to find it in one go probably because he relied on his hearing amplification to search all the way. Only the hole that truly leads to the heart will produce the sound of a beating heart.

If there were multiple entrances, Ji Chaoyang would have told him that the sound came from multiple directions, and he was only searching in one direction. Since there was none, it was very likely that only one of the holes was real.

He sent another message to Ji Chaoyang, but still received no response. Fortunately, his name was not gray, which at least meant he was still alive.

The Silver King was very fast. In less than a minute, Xu Xin saw Ah Fu hanging upside down on the tree and the hole below it.

After getting off the wolf, Xu Xin carefully examined the cave again. With his extraordinary vision, he could see every detail of the cave. Unfortunately, this cave was no different from the previous two caves, whether in size, shape, slope, or the light red contaminated soil on the cave entrance and walls.

At least he couldn't tell the difference.

"Keke, can you tell the difference between these three holes?"

Coco tilted her head and gestured with her little paws: "Ying!"

"Are all three holes dangerous?"

"Hmm!"

...It seems that I can only choose randomly. I hope his luck will be better.

After marking the three burrows, Xu Xin was still worried, so he asked Silver King to run around the perimeter to see if there were any more burrows he hadn't discovered. Silver King had good endurance, so running a lap was just a warm-up.

He raised his watch and clicked on the [Explorers] group.

In the group, a few people who did not go out, Li Wenxi, Zhao Xiaochuan, Qin Yunlong, and Qi Xuefei were still chatting.

"Everyone, has anyone gone out?" Xu Xin asked.

Wen Guixin: "I've come out and am looking for the cave you mentioned, but I haven't found it yet."

Wang Lei: "I got out too! I got out thanks to Sister Xuefei's pills!"

Xu Xin was a little surprised that Wang Lei came out. He looked through the records and found out how he got out.

Qi Xuefei: "I have a new pill here. Its efficacy has been proven. It can heal all injuries within two hours. It's expensive, and I only have one left. If anyone of you is willing to go out, I can give it to him."

Wang Lei: "What do you mean? How do we get out?"
