Sitting under the tree house, Xu Xin silently watched the sun gradually setting in the west.
He knew why he couldn't go up.
Because the roots that pulled him up were actually the aerial roots of the banyan tree, a kind of adventitious roots. In the final analysis, they were still roots. Since the roots were developing for the second time, these roots naturally stopped the function of entering and exiting the tree house temporarily.
It’s too difficult, you can’t even just lie down and play.
After sitting for a while, Xu Xin decided to do something.
Xu Xin looked at his backpack, which contained a stone spear, a stone axe, a stone pickaxe, a stone shovel, a gold treasure chest, several bottles of water and several kinds of fruit. These things alone almost filled up all 10 slots of his backpack.
Because of this, he left fertilizer and seeds in the tree house when he came out last night, which resulted in him being unable to plant birch and pine trees now.
"The grid is still not enough, I still need a more advanced backpack."
"...Let's clear out an area first. Otherwise, there'll be nowhere to plant these two trees."
Xu Xin first took the gold treasure chest out of his backpack and placed it next to the base of the tree house. Even in the backpack, it was heavy enough that carrying it on his back would hinder his work.
He took the sleepy Coco off his shoulders and placed her on top of the golden treasure chest.
Coco whimpered softly and opened her eyes slightly.
"Help me watch over the golden treasure chest and make sure no one picks it up." Xu Xin joked to Keke. After all, there were no other people around.
Coco nodded her little head slightly, then curled up into a ball and continued to sleep.
Xu Xin took out a stone axe, found an area with more green soil next to the tree house, and began to cut down trees indiscriminately. The cut wood was directly put into the backpack.
His stone axe was of blue level, and he could chop down a poplar tree (white) with one stroke, and a poplar tree (green) with two strokes. It didn't take long before he cleared out an area.
70% of the soil in this area is green, and Xu Xin does not plan to deal with the remaining 30% of white soil. After all, a piece of soil is only about one square meter in size. Considering the planting spacing, it is not possible to plant trees on every piece of land, so this is enough for now.
Xu Xin ran to the lake again, collected some reeds, and dug a few lotus roots for dinner tonight.
Lotus root and bear meat, perfect.
Before leaving the lake, Xu Xin looked at the piranhas in the center of the lake.
...Sure enough, he still felt that the piranha's range of activity seemed to have expanded a little. Although not much, it was indeed a little closer to him.
It seems that we need to think of a way to deal with these piranhas.
If the situation is allowed to continue, once the piranhas' range of activity expands to the entire lake, not only will all the other fish and shrimp in the lake be affected, but even his trip to the lake to fetch water and collect food may be affected.
If these piranhas swam into the stream... Xu Xin couldn't imagine what the scene would be like.
I wonder if the giant crocodiles in the creek can deal with these piranhas.
The treehouse's roots have completed secondary growth, expanding its protected area to a six-kilometer radius.
Suddenly a prompt sound rang in Xu Xin's ears. He was overjoyed. He could finally go home!
Coco, who had slept for two hours, had woken up and was sitting on the golden treasure chest in a daze.
"I went up to Coco and went home."
“Hmm.”
Xu Xin put the treasure chest into his backpack. The wood and the treasure chest in the backpack suddenly made him feel a little overwhelmed, so he quickly carried Coco into the tree house.
After putting all the cut wood on the first floor, Xu Xin returned to his third floor.
"Comfortable!" He threw his backpack to the ground and fell on the wooden bed. The wooden bed had the effect of quickly restoring physical and mental strength. Just lying on the bed made Xu Xin feel a little relaxed.
Coco curled up in bed and fell asleep again.
However, Xu Xin did not rest for too long. He just lay down for a while and then sat up.
Just as he sat up, the mysterious voice sounded again.
The Jungle Exploration event has concluded. Congratulations to all the survivors who found treasure chests and obtained limited resources during this exploration event. You are excellent treehouse explorers.
[Survivors who haven't found the treasure chest, don't be discouraged. This is just the first step. You still have a chance to catch up with them.]
[Now, the regional rankings for this event will be announced. The top 100 will receive corresponding rewards. Survivors, please go to the screen in the tree house to check.]
[The last 50 survivors, you have 10 minutes left, say goodbye to the world.]
Xu Xin quickly came to the screen, clicked on it, and saw that another option was unlocked: [Ranking].
Click on this option. There is only one activity in the options, [Jungle Exploration Activity], which can be selected.
He continued clicking and a ranking list appeared before his eyes.
[First place winner Xu Xin, opened gold, silver, and bronze treasure chests, and obtained several other items, the highest blue level.]
Second place winner Ji Chaoyang opened gold, silver, and bronze treasure chests, and obtained several other items, reaching the highest blue level.
[Third place winner Wen Guixin opened the silver and bronze treasure chests and obtained several other items, reaching the highest blue level.]
[Fourth place winner, Li Wenxi, opened the silver and bronze treasure chests and obtained several other items, achieving the highest blue level.]
…
[No. 7132 Lu Renjia did not receive a treasure chest or any other supplies.]
The last one is 7132nd.
"I can't even be anonymous anymore." Xu Xin didn't really want to have his name listed at the top of the list, as it would only bring him unnecessary trouble. "Forget it, I'll just use my real name."
