Xu Xin did not step out of the safe area rashly. He took out the energy core fragments from his backpack.
Although it is daytime now, the sky is not that bright. Countless white and thick clouds are piled up in the low sky. The shadows of the clouds cover the entire jungle, making the already bleak jungle even more melancholy.
But the moment the energy core fragments were taken out, the surroundings were illuminated by a bright white light. At the same time, the temperature, which was originally only five or six degrees, began to rise rapidly, reaching over twenty degrees.
Holding the energy core fragment, Xu Xin planned to step into the area to explore.
"Hmm?" Coco looked at the glowing core, then looked at the dangerous area, and tilted her head in confusion.
"All of you, stay here and don't move. I'm going in to take a look."
Xu Xin turned over and got off the wolf, moving towards the dangerous area.
Coco didn't stop him, which meant that maybe there was really no danger.
Xu Xin focused his attention on the map and stepped into the dangerous area.
The moment he stepped in, a red dot suddenly lit up from under his feet!
Is there danger?!
He immediately jumped back to the safe zone.
The ground cracked slightly from the tremors, but to Xu Xin's surprise, the mutated monster underground did not emerge from the crack. On the map, the red light quickly faded, eventually disappearing without a trace.
Mimi jumped from behind when the red dot became the brightest, and swung her claws forward in advance, trying to attack the vines that were about to emerge, but she missed.
It landed on the ground, letting out a puzzled cry.
Just like last time, before these underground mutant creatures came out, they noticed the light of the energy core fragments on the ground and retreated.
However, this time it actually caused the ground to crack.
The last time he rode the Silver King through that area, there was nothing unusual on the ground, only red dots undulating like waves could be seen on the map.
But it's normal. After all, this is a dangerous area. Although that area is a deterrent protection area, it is still a protection area.
Although those mutant creatures could not drill out from the ground under the illumination of the energy core fragments, Xu Xin did not intend to go deeper into it.
According to his guess, the closer he got to the culprit, the stronger the underground mutant creatures would be. They could already crack the ground now. If he went any further, they might come out and attack him.
Let's prepare for the coming winter and the beast tide tomorrow.
He collected the energy core fragments.
With this thing, those underground creatures dare not come out, let alone kill them.
Xu Xin thought about it for a moment. Perhaps he could let Mimi run in a circle to attract all the mutant vines, and then he could directly use the energy core to kill them all.
But then he gave up.
In the lake of the cave, Xu Xin experienced the pleasure of using this core to kill blood-veined piranhas, but that was because those piranhas had gone deep into the lake and the exit was relatively narrow. So when Xu Xin took out the core, those piranhas were crowded at the exit and could not escape quickly, and only most of them were left.
The bright white light of this energy core fragment will take at least five to ten seconds to kill the mutant creature.
This amount of time is enough for the mutant vines to retract back into the ground.
And, most importantly, he cannot gain any points by killing mutant creatures with energy core fragments!
That won't do. This time, he wants both the mutant vine juice and the points, not one less.
"Mimi, run a few dozen meters along the edge of the protected area." Xu Xin gave Mimi an order.
Mimi immediately rushed out, stepped outside the edge of the reserve, and started running along the edge of the reserve.
On the map, a red dot suddenly lit up, the ground cracked, and thick blood-veined vines suddenly emerged from the ground!
Mimi's speed was not fast, or rather, compared to its fastest speed, its current speed was like taking a walk, as if it was playing with these vines that had just emerged from the ground.
Every vine almost pierced Mimi, but after Mimi turned around and returned to Xu Xin, not a single hair was scratched off. She even killed a vine before leaving.
[Kill the blood-thorn vines and gain 50 points.]
Yes, yes, there are indeed enhanced vines nearby.
Xu Xin looked at the vines that were swinging back and forth at the edge of the protected area but did not enter the protected area to attack, and took out his halberd.
The vines here don't actively enter the protected area to attack. The last time the vines actively entered the protected area to attack was at the very edge of Li Yajun's protected area. The vines there are stronger than here, and the points are higher than here.
Moreover, the Silver King over there will also be affected and his blood lines will light up, but this side will not.
According to his inference, it should be closer to the culprit that caused all this.
However, you also need to be careful here, because last time, the vines here also entered the protected area and attacked once, but suddenly the blood pattern lit up, protecting it and retreating.
At this time, at the edge of the reserve, a row of vines were swaying in the wind. The dark green vines were dotted with blood patterns or blood thorns, which looked very strange and terrifying in the bleak and dark surroundings.
Xu Xin immediately swung his halberd at the root of the vine.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka!”
The side blade of the halberd effortlessly cut through the roots of four vines in succession.
The four stiff vines stopped swaying and fell stiffly.
Xu Xin leaned slightly aside, dodging a vine that was hurtling towards him. The vine fell to the ground with a crash, raising a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.
