Xu Xin immediately replied: "What did you find out? You have been out all this time?"
Ji Chaoyang called him directly via video and he answered it immediately.
"Speak softly, are you in the tree house?"
The voice on the other end was very low, as if he didn't want anyone to hear him.
The video was very dark and he could hardly see anything, but he could hear Ji Chaoyang's heartbeat, thumping.
"Where are you? Is there any danger around?" Xu Xin also lowered his voice.
What's going on? My heart is beating so loudly.
"There's no danger at the moment, but..." Ji Chaoyang's voice was filled with solemnity, "If this big guy not far in front of me is alarmed, then it will be another matter."
"Big guy?" Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang lowered his voice even more.
Ji Chaoyang took a few steps forward and turned the camera to face forward.
Seeing the scene in the video, Xu Xin's pupils immediately contracted and he took a breath.
A huge cave filled the entire screen, at least ten meters high.
In this cave, countless mutated vines are growing wantonly, some hanging on the cave walls, some growing diagonally, and some even crawling on the ground. It seems to be in disarray, but the whole thing forms a sphere.
Wrapped within this vine ball was a massive blood-red flesh mass that was five or six meters tall! This flesh mass was beating like a heart!
It turned out that the pounding heartbeat he just heard was not made by Ji Chaoyang, but by this "big heart"!
Is this some kind of Cthulhu-style monster? Just looking at it makes your sanity plummet!
As for why the video suddenly became no longer dark, it was because the giant heart, as well as the blood veins and thorns on the vines surrounding it, were all emitting a blood-red light, and with every beat of the heart, the red light would flicker.
The mutated vines swayed in the red mist as the mist flowed. The blood patterns and blood thorns on those vines were also glowing blood-red, which was very similar to what was in front of us.
At this moment, the flickering red light on the vines and the "heart" made the entire cave look extremely eerie and terrifying.
The blood patterns light up, indicating that strength has been enhanced. What makes these vines’ blood patterns and blood thorns light up is the “big heart” in the middle!
He thought of Coco's warning to him.
Near the tree house, there is a big monster that is different from the vines. The monster is very dangerous.
Is it... this kind of monster?
"Where are you, in an underground cave?" Xu Xin asked.
If there is such a large monster on the ground, his map will definitely mark the monster's location. For monsters on the ground, his map is still very useful.
The fact is, there's no mark on the map, so it can only be underground.
"That's right, it's in a cave, and the entrance to the cave is only a few hundred meters away from the tree house." Ji Chaoyang retracted the camera, and the screen fell into darkness again.
Ji Chaoyang suddenly hung up the video, leaving Xu Xin stunned.
"Talking is inconvenient. I just wanted you to see this monster. Let's just type."
"Are you still with that heart?"
"No, I'm leaving. It's too depressing there. I'm afraid something might happen."
"So, you were a few hundred meters away from the tree house?" Xu Xin asked. "When did you leave?"
"That's a long story. Remember this morning when I told you that my random ability today is enhanced hearing?"
"...You heard the heartbeat, so you went out to look for the source of the sound." Xu Xin understood.
"That's right. After I gained this ability, this sound like a heartbeat kept coming from the direction not far from the tree house. The slow yet powerful beating sound made me very concerned. I wondered what exactly was making this sound.
So I geared up and headed to the source of the sound.”
You can hear the heartbeat coming from underground from hundreds of meters away. It seems that the enhanced hearing is also a very strong amplification.
"I just read what you said in the group, and my method is similar to yours.
After clearing away all the mutated vines beneath the treehouse to ensure its temporary safety, I cleared a path toward the heartbeat-like sound. About thirty meters from the treehouse, no more vines emerged from the ground.
"The vines are only within 30 meters of the tree house?" Xu Xin couldn't help but ask. He just cleared the vines under the tree house and didn't go out any further.
"Yes, thirty meters away. It's not much different from the usual tree house protection area." Ji Chaoyang explained, "It's basically safe. So I loosened my pace and followed the sound, and finally came to a cave a few hundred meters away."
"Burrow?" Xu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Is it the kind of cave that appears in the protected area?"
Is it one of those bottomless caves in salt mines or at the bottom of lakes in hilly resource areas?
"It's essentially identical in appearance, a large hole about two meters in diameter, with a faint fragrance wafting out. The difference is that this hole isn't bottomless, but slopes downward, toward the tree house. The sound is coming from inside the hole.
I hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to go.
If you go straight to the end of the cave, you'll see the scene you just saw. It really scared me."
Ji Chaoyang simply recounted his experience, but Xu Xin still felt the great danger hidden in it.
