"Try jumping into the water," Xu Xin suggested.
Xu Xin didn't have any good way to kill these insects, so he could only jump into the water to hide.
He thought these flying insects were difficult to deal with, so he blew them away along with the flowers at the beginning. Now it seems that it was indeed the best choice.
Wang Lei: "I know! Ahhhh, I'm so far away from the stream now!"
Xu Xin shook his head and continued walking out of the cave.
From hundreds of meters away, Xu Xin could see that the cave entrance was blocked by collapsed ground. It was the three explosive arrows that had caused the soil at the entrance to collapse.
But it didn't matter, it was all loose soil. Silver King and Mimi dug up the soil blocking the road in a few strokes, and the man and four beasts appeared in the sunlight again.
Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf and headed towards the nearest of the two remaining caves, which was the cave he and Keke had discovered.
Perhaps due to the large amount of red mist they inhaled in the cave, Silver King Mimi and Ah Fu were noticeably more agitated and active than before they entered. It seemed the red mist had more effects on the mutant beasts than just enhancing their strength.
With the help of the map markings, the distance between the two caves was only a few hundred meters, and they arrived in just a few seconds.
After getting down from the wolf, Xu Xin observed the surroundings of the cave again, squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, but still found nothing different.
Forget it, things will work out when the time comes, so let’s just go down.
Before going down, he took another look at the information in [Explorer]. Wang Lei didn't speak again, but Wen Guixin spoke.
"I just came out of a cave. There wasn't a heart inside, nor were there any flowers like you mentioned. Instead, there was a mutant beast that looked like a pangolin, the size of a wild boar."
Another mutant beast appeared?
"Did you kill it?" Xu Xin asked.
Wen Guixin: "No, this beast can dig holes. It spotted me from a distance and ran straight into the ground. I ran over and found that it had already dug very deep. I didn't get anything in this hole, but I didn't encounter any danger."
A mutant beast that can burrow?
Xu Xin: "Is the hole it drilled very big?"
Wen Guixin: "Hmm...less than one meter in diameter?"
It would run away when it saw people, so it looked like a low-level mutant beast. If Xu Xin could encounter one, he could try to subdue it using the Mutant Beast Contract. Mutated beasts that could dig holes were rare, so they should be very useful.
The man and four beasts continued to form a formation and entered the cave in front of them.
The walls of the cave were still made of dry, reddish contaminated soil. Having learned from the experience of the previous time, Mimi, who was walking in front, was no longer so cautious and instead began to move forward quickly.
After walking about a few hundred meters, Xu Xin noticed something strange.
"Hmm?" He thought he heard something, but couldn't hear it clearly.
Continuing forward, the faint sound gradually became clearer in my ears.
"thump……"
His eyes gradually widened and he listened carefully.
“Plop… plop…”
A hint of joy appeared on Xu Xin's face.
It's the sound of a beating heart!
It seems that this is the cave!
"Be careful, that big guy is deep in this cave!" Xu Xin reminded Mimi and Afu in front.
The two beasts barked twice in response, Mimi's steps became cautious, and the Silver King also walked to Xu Xin's side to protect him.
Xu Xin has been paying attention to the map. Their current location is very close to the tree house, even overlapping with those dense red light spots.
Now, above their heads are those blood-thorn vines that can regenerate infinitely!
“Plop! Plop!”
The sound of the heartbeat became more and more obvious, and it was almost exactly the same as the sound heard in the video.
There was a corner three or four meters ahead of them, and the heart was on the other side of the corner. Mimi walked forward to the corner and stopped.
Holding a crossbow, Xu Xin took two steps forward and looked to the other side of the corner.
"Ah!" Coco on my shoulder exclaimed in a low voice.
"call……"
Xu Xin exhaled, clenched his fists, and a smile that was a bit scared and a bit excited appeared on his face.
There was another underground space that looked like a hall, with vines growing randomly everywhere.
In addition to the blood-thorn vines and blood-patterned vines, there are also some ordinary vines without any patterns, which are intertwined with the mutated vines in a messy manner, forming a sphere as a whole.
And in the center of the sphere, wrapped in them, is what Xu Xin has been looking for, the huge beating piece of meat, the blood-red "heart" that has been providing energy to the blood-thorn vines on the ground!
This heart is extremely huge, about six or seven meters high, and the vines wrapped around it are three layers inside and three layers outside, reaching a height of nearly ten meters.
The entire underground space was filled with this vine ball. The nearest vine was only five or six meters away from the corner where Xu Xin was.
However, there was a slight difference. Although this "heart" was beating constantly, it did not emit the bright red light shown in Ji Chaoyang's video, nor did it flicker with the beating. Similarly, the surrounding vines were also dim.
In addition, there was no red mist flower. Although there was a faint strange fragrance floating in the cave, there was no red mist. Silver King Mimi was not strengthened, and the blood patterns on his body did not light up red. The entire cave was still pitch black.
The intertwined vines are different from those on the ground swaying in the wind. They are in a completely still state. If most of their branches did not have patterns or blood thorns, Xu Xin would even think that they are very ordinary plants.
