"Ying!" Coco jumped into Xu Xin's arms and burrowed her furry head into his arms.
"Okay, okay, it's okay." Xu Xin touched Coco's head, feeling like he had survived a disaster.
Thinking back on everything he had just experienced, Xu Xin was still terrified. If he had made even one wrong move, he would have already left this world.
The small yellow flowers on the ground began to wither rapidly. Soon, this sea of flowers that was originally full of yellow flowers turned into a barren land. Not even weeds grew. There was no grass at all.
Xu Xin sat on the ground, put Coco on his lap, and put the shirt around his face back on.
"Sure enough, am I still mentally affected?" While calming down, Xu Xin recalled everything that had just happened.
He had previously wrapped his shirt around his face, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
If his mind hadn't been affected, he wouldn't have been so reckless as to enter this strange sea of flowers, even though the golden treasure chest he'd been searching for lay in the middle of it. But he only paused for a moment, without much thought, before entering this dangerous area.
When he walked to the treasure chest, if he were a normal person, he would definitely put the golden treasure chest into his backpack and quickly move away from this strange sea of flowers, and open it somewhere else, instead of taking out the key and trying to open it directly on the spot like he did just now.
The most obvious one was naturally the fake treasure chest. He actually mistook a broken rock for a treasure chest! This must have been an illusion caused by inhaling too much floral fragrance.
He glanced at Coco, who was still burying her head in his arms, and smiled. If it weren't for this little guy, he would really be stuck here today. He took an orange from his backpack and stuffed it into Coco's arms.
"Ying!" Coco immediately happily hugged the orange and started eating it.
The little guy didn't seem to be affected by the fragrance of the flowers, so Coco's two puzzled cries made him suspicious. The first time was when he mentioned the golden treasure chest, and the second time was when he took out the golden key.
The two doubtful cries made Xu Xin realize that what he and Keke saw were different. Keke didn't seem to see the golden treasure chest. So when he looked at the treasure chest again, he began to observe it carefully.
Before coming here, Xu Xin had seen a copper treasure chest and a silver treasure chest placed side by side in his tree house. The patterns on the two treasure chests formed the body of a beast similar to a Qilin, so he inferred at the time that the pattern printed on the gold treasure chest should be the head of this beast.
But the patterns on the fake treasure chest were messy.
Although he couldn't be sure whether the pattern on the treasure chest was real or not, he would rather believe it than not, so he directly picked up the stone spear and shot it at the fake treasure chest. Unexpectedly, he actually broke the illusion.
If he had not discovered the truth and really used the key to open the fake treasure chest, perhaps the process of the stone cracking would be hidden in the illusion of the treasure chest opening. Xu Xin would have no time to run and might not even be able to react before being swallowed by the carnivorous plant.
No matter what happened next, he tried his best and finally saved his life.
The danger of the carnivorous plant this time was much greater than the previous beast tide and vines, which made Xu Xin deeply feel his own weakness. If it were not for Coco's help and a series of coincidences, he would really be dragged step by step into the abyss of hell by this carnivorous plant that can affect people's minds without knowing it.
These strange creatures are so terrifying, much scarier than those wild beasts!
Fortunately, these things didn't seem to be able to move for too long within a three-kilometer radius of the tree house. The previous vines only attacked him twice before dying. Although the carnivorous plant lasted a little longer this time, it still couldn't escape the fate of becoming a specimen.
After sitting and resting for a while, Xu Xin calmed down and stood up. He picked up the stone spear that had just been thrown on the ground and began to clean up the dry and brittle residue of the surrounding carnivorous plants.
This flower is so weird, it must be a monster guarding the golden treasure chest. Maybe the golden treasure chest is hidden in the body of the Piranha Plant just like the bronze treasure chest before.
As a result, Xu Xin poked all the remnants of the Piranha Plant, but still couldn't find what he was looking for.
"Could it be that this time the treasure chest isn't inside the monster?"
Sweeping the debris aside, the hole formed by the cracks in the rock appeared before his eyes.
The cave was completely dark, but this was not a problem for Xu Xin, because he had eaten red berries and had acquired the ability of night vision, so even the darkest environment seemed as bright as day to him.
The cave entrance was wide enough for one person to pass through. Inside the cave was not a golden treasure chest as he had imagined, but an underground cavern, only about two meters high. From Xu Xin's angle, he couldn't see what was deep in the cave.
The ground vertically downward from the hole opened by the carnivorous plant was turned over. It was obvious that the huge carnivorous plant had drilled out from deeper underground, and perhaps just happened to pass by this underground cave.
"What kind of place is this? Will the golden treasure chest be inside?" Xu Xin fell into deep thought.
"Ying!" Coco pulled Xu Xin's clothes in his arms, pointed at the cave with her paws, and then used her two paws to make a rectangle for him.
"You mean, the treasure chest is down there?"
"Hmm!" Coco nodded and rubbed Xu Xin's arm with her big tail.
"How do you know?" Xu Xin was still very curious about the magic of Coco.
"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head.
Never mind, it can't be explained.
"But..." Xu Xin frowned.
