Xu Xin now feels that he is in danger.
He did have the idea of going out and giving it a try, but it was just an idea. His caution made it impossible for him to put this idea into practice.
But the fact is that he seemed to have lost his mind, conquered by the desire in his heart, and took a step forward easily.
"There must be something around here affecting me!" Xu Xin looked around vigilantly. There were still the common poplar forests and low shrubs.
It was then that he realized that the invigorating effect of the orange (blue) he had eaten in the tree house had worn off.
Xu Xin took out an orange (blue) from his backpack and ate it. He felt refreshed again, his fatigue was swept away, and his mind became much clearer in an instant.
The surroundings were very quiet. The jungle at night always gave people a dark, cold and dangerous feeling.
Xu Xin stared at the crack in the ground. The vines just now came out from that crack.
"If I go beyond the three-kilometer range, will vines sprout from the ground and attack me?" Xu Xin's mind cleared up again, and he began to ponder. "I'm only less than a meter away from that boundary right now. With such a short distance, won't those vines be able to get in?"
Xu Xin suddenly remembered the vines that had guarded the copper treasure chest before. After appearing, they only attacked him twice before becoming dry and brittle, breaking into pieces with a single poke. However, the vines did not do that, and did not even turn around to poke him again. Instead, they gradually retracted into the ground.
It seems that he is indeed protected within a three-kilometer radius.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Xu Xin tensed his mind and body and stretched out his foot again.
This time he was not out of his mind, it was his own well-thought-out action.
Sure enough, a red dot quickly lit up on the map. Xu Xin dodged his feet to the side, and a vine thicker than the previous one broke through the ground, suddenly emerged, and rushed straight into the air six or seven meters high.
This vine even has densely packed blood-red barbs that make people feel nauseous.
At this time, Xu Xin's feet were still out of bounds. The vine twisted in the air and swung directly towards Xu Xin's ankle.
Xu Xin quickly pulled his feet back to his side and dodged backwards.
But the vine did not enter the boundary. It was as if there was an invisible wall on the three-kilometer dividing line, and it suddenly stopped outside the boundary.
Under Xu Xin's vigilant gaze, the vine did not attack him again. It twisted and turned a few times, as if giving up, and slowly retracted into the ground.
"Is that really the case?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes in thought. "As long as I step out of the protection range, those strange creatures underground will attack me. But as long as I return to this range, those creatures will not chase me even if they have already launched an attack."
Is it because if they chase it in, it will break like the vines that protected the bronze treasure chest before? Then how do we explain why the giant crocodile with the silver treasure chest can move within the protection area?
Although he couldn't figure it out, Xu Xin was at least certain that there must be something around him that was affecting his mind, trying to lure him out of the three-kilometer protection range and let these underground vines kill him.
Could it be the monster guarding the golden treasure chest?
Xu Xin patted the little guy in his arms.
Coco twisted in his arms and slowly opened her eyes: "Hmm?"
"Keke, can you sense anything unusual around you?"
Coco rubbed her eyes with her paws, and then Xu Xin felt the originally soft little ball of fur in her arms suddenly become tense.
"Ah!" Coco suddenly jumped out of his arms, stood up nervously towards the back of Xu Xin, raised her two paws, and made a gesture as if she was in danger.
Xu Xin took out his stone spear and pointed it in that direction.
Keke stretched out his claws and tugged at Xu Xin's trouser leg, motioning Xu Xin to follow him.
Xu Xin looked at him worriedly: "You better be careful, don't get ambushed."
"Hmm!"
That direction was a place Xu Xin had never been to, and it was dark on the map.
After walking for a while, about a few hundred meters, Xu Xin seemed to smell a special fragrance in the air, which became more and more obvious as he walked forward.
Xu Xin rubbed his nose, which was irritated, and felt a little uncertain: "Is this... the scent of flowers?"
As he continued walking, Xu Xin found that the poplar trees around him seemed to have become sparser, and the ground under his feet was no longer covered with weeds and shrubs. Gradually, there were more small yellow flowers, swaying gently in the wind.
The fragrance of flowers filled Xu Xin's nose, and his consciousness became a little dizzy, and he involuntarily quickened his pace.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong and pinched his arm hard to regain consciousness.
"It's this flower scent! It was this flower scent that lured me out of the protective area just now!"
Perhaps it was because the fragrance of the flowers was relatively thin at the previous location, which deceived his sense of smell, but at this moment Xu Xin had already felt it. The feeling that affected his mind was exactly the same as before.
Thinking of this, Xu Xin quickly lifted up his clothes and covered his mouth and nose with them. Then he felt that this would affect his movements, so he took off his clothes and tied them around his face.
"Coco, come back, let's go together." Since they have already sensed the danger, Coco naturally cannot be allowed to take the lead.
"Ying!" Coco seemed unaffected by the fragrance of the flowers. She nimbly climbed up Xu Xin's legs and onto his shoulders.
This little guy is really mysterious.
Xu Xin continued to move forward, holding the stone spear in his hand.
The surrounding poplar trees were becoming increasingly sparse, and there were more and more yellow flowers on the ground. Even though Xu Xin had covered his mouth and nose, the pungent fragrance of the flowers still made him frown.
