Xu Xin immediately got up from the bed and looked out the window.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual in the jungle at this time. The sun had just risen, and the breeze was blowing on his face, which even made him feel a little comfortable.
Looking at the map, there are still no red dots on the developed and undeveloped territories.
But Xu Xin knew that beneath this calmness lay a huge crisis.
The weakening of the tree house's protective ability means that the monsters underground are likely to break through the defense line and appear directly in the protected area.
No, it has already appeared!
What happened last night was probably the result of the tree house’s weakened protection capabilities after the rainy season!
"Hmm..." Xu Xin's actions woke Coco up. She turned over, sat up on the bed, and rubbed her eyes with her little paws.
"Go back to sleep, it's still early." Xu Xin rubbed Keke's head. Today's activities probably had little to do with Keke.
"Hmm..." After hearing that, Coco fell asleep again, hugging her tail.
Regional channels have also become lively.
"The treehouse's protective power is weakened? What does that mean?"
"It's said that monsters will appear if you go outside the protected area. Has any of you ever been outside?"
"The grass on the graves of those who have passed away is three feet high."
"The event started so early in the morning? Isn't it usually at nine o'clock..."
"Guys! Don't ever leave the treehouse! I just went down to check on the situation, and after taking two steps, a vine thicker than my arm suddenly emerged from the ground! If I hadn't quickly returned to the treehouse, I'd probably be dead!"
Seeing someone say this on the regional channel, Xu Xin showed an expression of "as expected".
As expected, the ground is now completely unsafe! Those underground monsters that cannot appear in the protected area have now appeared on the surface!
"Oh my god!! That vine is attacking my tree house, what should I do! It's actually attacking the trunk of the tree house!"
"Will attack the tree house?!"
"Is this...is this the battle to defend the tree house? Even the tree house is not safe now..."
Will the vines attack the tree trunk?
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that the trunk of his tree house had been equipped with a defensive facility called [Tree House Wooden Armor] a long time ago.
Xu Xin checked his crafting list and found the armor that could protect the trunk of the tree house.
[Treehouse Wooden Armor: Armor added to the trunk of the treehouse can effectively reduce damage to the treehouse from attacks by wild animals. Requires 2 logs]
Xu Xin remembered the shape of the armor, which was similar to a cylinder cut in half vertically. Two armors needed to be installed for every meter of the trunk.
Although the introduction says it's for attacks against wild beasts, it should also be effective against mutant creatures.
He sent a private message to the person who was attacked: "How's the situation? Is there any serious damage to the trunk of the tree house?"
The other party replied immediately: "It's Boss Xu Xin!!! Save me!!"
Xu Xin: "Don't worry, tell me the situation!"
"It...the vines outside...are constantly attacking the tree trunk. They're swinging and whipping it! I can hear the sound of a piece of the trunk being cut off with each whip, and the whole tree house is shaking!"
"Did the vines launch any piercing attacks on the tree house?"
"Yes! Yes! But they seem unable to penetrate the tree trunk, so they have stopped attacking and are now lashing out frantically. Each lash can peel off a layer of bark! Boss, help me!"
"Do you have any logs? Give them to me and I'll make you some tree house armor!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The other party caught the hope and immediately became excited. He immediately traded hundreds of logs for him. This amount of logs should be all his inventory.
"You're a low treehouse?"
"Yes, big man!"
The trunk under the canopy of the low tree house is only about three meters high, and six pieces of wooden armor can completely cover the exposed trunk.
Xu Xin made twelve pieces for him: "Assemble these on the trunk of the tree house!"
"Understood, Boss!!"
To equip the armor, you only need to choose a location in the tree house, which is similar to the heavy crossbow. You don't need to go out, so it is still very safe.
After a few seconds, the other party replied: "Thank you, sir! You saved my life!"
Xu Xin gave him the wooden armor so that he could test its effectiveness. "How is it? Did it protect you?"
"It's protected! It's protected! After I put on the armor, the trunk of the tree house was completely wrapped up. The vines continued to whip at the armor, but their effect was greatly weakened!"
"How much has it weakened?"
"It's just that... the vines will leave a deep mark on the tree trunk, and they'll hit it in one spot. I'm afraid they'll tear the tree house apart after a few hundred hits! But after equipping the armor, although the armor will be damaged every time it's whipped, it's only a shallow mark! A set of armor will definitely last a long time!"
"Don't the vines attack the tree house? I mean, the canopy of the tree house."
"Don't attack, don't attack. They only attack the tree trunks right now!"
After understanding the situation, Xu Xin relaxed a little. From the current perspective, the armor could basically defend against the vines, but he didn't know what other monsters would appear in the battle to defend the tree house besides the vines.
"Okay, I've given you six extra pieces of armor. If any armor is damaged, replace it immediately. If the vines outside stop attacking or the armor is destroyed, contact me immediately." Xu Xin wanted to see how long this piece of armor could last.
"Okay, boss, I'll make sure to complete the task!"
Xu Xin looked outside the tree house again. It seemed that as long as he didn't go down, at least for now, those mutated vines would not appear on their own.
