After the red fog dissipated, the mess that had been hidden by the red fog was completely revealed.
The cracked ground did not recover. The originally flat ground was now cracked into strips and covered with small holes.
The blood-veined vines killed by Xu Xin, as well as the blood-thorn vines that died in the conflict, were all lying in pieces on the cracked ground.
The scene before me looked like a land ravaged by war.
Xu Xin tried to move forward. Sure enough, without the red mist covering the land, those strange underground creatures no longer emerged from this land.
Kicking the vines under his feet, Xu Xin found that these vines did not become brittle and did not break when kicked.
"Fresh vines?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
He squatted down, grabbed the broken vine and pulled it upwards.
The branches of the blood-veined vine are very smooth. Although it looks only two fingers thick, its overall weight is not light. Even for Xu Xin, whose strength has been strengthened many times, it still finds it a little difficult to pull the vine up from the ground.
There was no improvement, it didn't seem to be any resource.
Xu Xin frowned, thought for a moment, took out a boning knife, and cut the vine. Suddenly, a milky white sticky juice flowed out from the cut of the dead vine.
Xu Xin hurriedly took out the glass bottle that previously contained the mutant beast potion and tried to collect the juice.
[Mutated Vine Sap: Combustible and flame-resistant, it continues to burn once ignited and can be used to craft burning arrows and crossbow bolts. It's also a raw material for making explosives.]
Xu Xi: “!!!”
Burning arrows! Dynamite!
The juice of this vine is so powerful! It's even used to make incendiary arrows and explosives!
Xu Xin hurriedly opened his watch and looked through the production list, but did not find the formula for explosives.
"No?" Xu Xin was a little disappointed. Suddenly, he slapped his head and said, "Explosives must be weapons. Even if there is a crafting recipe, it should be on the weapons and armor crafting table!"
This is definitely a strategic resource!
Compared to normal arrows, burning arrows have additional fire damage, which can cause tons of damage to plant-like mutant creatures and mutant beasts with thick hair!
Not to mention explosives, the explosion damage is much stronger than the piercing damage of cold weapons!
Xu Xin couldn't wait to go back to the tree house to check and see if he had unlocked the formula for the explosives.
However, I didn't expect the sap of these mutant vines to be flammable. Plants are naturally afraid of fire, and their sap is also flammable. Doesn't this mean that these mutant vines can be easily dealt with by using fire?
After thinking about it, Xu Xin temporarily put this idea behind him.
Unless they are outside the jungle, such as appearing in the underground maze before, Xu Xin can still try to deal with them with fire, otherwise it will be a waste of time and effort.
Using fire in the jungle was simply insane. He didn't want to experience another jungle fire.
Finally, the vine stopped leaking sticky juice, and the glass bottle in his hand was nearly half full.
This juice is much heavier than water. Just half a bottle of juice weighs almost as much as three bottles of water, and it feels heavy in the hand.
He threw the vine in his hand, which no longer oozed liquid, to the ground. Coco immediately jumped off his shoulder and curiously turned over the wrinkled blood-veined vine with her little paws.
Holding the boning knife, Xu Xin began to collect the juice of the mutant vines and, by the way, recovered all the crossbow arrows he shot.
There were at least hundreds of broken vines on the ground. Except for the less than fifty that were shot dead by Xu Xin, the rest were basically the result of infighting.
Make a long cut vertically along the vine, and the juice from the vine will flow out in large quantities.
At first he used glass reagent bottles to hold the juice, but later found that there was too much, so he simply made a wooden barrel and poured all the juice into the barrel.
In the end, he harvested a small bucket full of milky white juice, weighing over a hundred kilograms.
As for the vine skin that has lost all its juice, it is useless and is not even a white-level resource.
Satisfiedly putting a whole bucket of mutant vine juice into his backpack, Xu Xin found that he was now very close to the entrance of the salt mine.
"Coco, is there still danger in this cave now?" Xu Xin asked Coco, who had been following him and watching him collect the juice.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded.
It seemed the mine was still not protected by the treehouse. He looked up at the two eye-shaped holes on the hill. The bright white light had disappeared.
Xu Xin plucked up his courage, climbed up the hill in two or three steps, and came to the "eye socket".
Looking closer, it's just a relatively large pit on both sides of the rocky ridge of the hill, and it looks very ordinary.
Unable to find anything glowing, Xu Xin didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly came down from the hill.
After taking a last look at the hill that looked like a giant's open mouth, and the mine that caused all the hills to be shrouded in red fog, Xu Xin did not stay here any longer. He mounted the back of the Silver King and hurried back to the tree house.
When we returned to the tree house, it was already past one in the middle of the night.
But Xu Xin was not sleepy at all. As soon as he got to the tree house, he hurried to the weapons and armor manufacturing table and opened the production list.
The first new crafting items to appear are the Burning Arrows and Burning Crossbow Bolts.
[Burning Crossbow Bolts: Simple and practical burning crossbow bolts with weak penetration. They will spontaneously combust upon impact. They cannot be retrieved. Magical attacks are sometimes more effective than physical attacks! 20 burning crossbow bolts require 4 pieces of wood, 2 feathers, and 1kg of mutant vine sap.]
