"Wait, what is this?" Xu Xin picked up the last two cards.
It was [Mutated Beast Contract (Green)]. There were actually two more Mutated Beast Contracts in the backpack.
Maybe he looted something from here and put it in his backpack, and then died here for some unknown reason, so there was something like this in his backpack.
Without thinking too much, Xu Xin put the two contracts into his backpack. This way, he now had five contracts, which just matched the number that the ring could hold.
After putting the other things back into the blue-level backpack, he put it directly on his back.
The backpack is actually quite small, so while it’s a little awkward carrying two of them, it’s not really a big deal.
The only heavy things in the backpack were logs and thin wood, but the blue-level backpack reduced the weight to one-tenth, and his strength was much stronger than before, so he felt no pressure at all.
As for the tattered blue-level leather armor, Xu Xin thought about it and decided to wear it. He remembered that the weapon and armor crafting table had a repair function. Although he didn't know how much materials it would consume, it would definitely cost less than making a new one.
"With these logs and wood, I can renovate the tree house inside and out when I go back." Xu Xin was a little happy, but he was only happy for a moment before he calmed down. After all, it was too early to talk about going back to renovate the tree house in this underground city full of dangers.
Xu Xin left the room and closed the door.
Looking deeper into the corridor, he still couldn't see the end, but there were only a few rooms left, with only three doors left that he hadn't explored. As for the corridor further inside, there were no doors on either side, and he had no idea where such a long corridor led to.
Xu Xin came to the door of the first remaining room. The door was not locked. He was about to push it open when Coco on his shoulder suddenly reacted.
"Hmm!" Coco cried.
There's danger! Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, and his hand, which was about to push the door, stopped in mid-air.
This was the first time Coco warned him of danger since entering this corridor.
Xu Xin deduced that this house might contain a mutant beast. He took out the broom, held it in his left hand, and tightly grasped the sword in his right hand, pushing the door open a crack.
The rotten wooden door made an unpleasant creaking sound, and a foul smell came out from the gap in the door.
Not the damp, decayed smell that had been lingering in the room since he'd entered;
That's right, it's the smell of a rotting corpse.
Xu Xin had never smelled the smell of a rotting corpse, but he had smelled the smell of rotting meat, which was this smell.
Through the opened gap, Xu Xin looked inside the door.
This room was very large, much larger than any room Xu Xin had entered before, like a hotel reception hall.
The hall was filled with tall iron cages covered in rust. The dense iron cage bars made Xu Xin think he was in a prison.
In each cage, a wolf-sized beast lay or crouched, motionless. Each beast's fur was marked with faint blood-red patterns.
"Is this... a mutant beast? Are they... dead?"
Xu Xin opened the door and gently walked into the huge room. Compared to the smaller stone chambers he had entered before, this room was much larger, with a height of seven or eight meters and an area of at least a thousand square meters.
In such a large area, there are only a few paths of about one meter between the iron cages, and the rest of the space is occupied by these rusty iron cages.
Xu Xin reached out and pinched the railing of a nearby iron cage. The railing had become very fragile due to long-term erosion, and it deformed with just a light pinch.
The mutant beasts in the cage were motionless, but they did not look like dead beasts. Although the air was filled with a foul smell, these beasts looked normal and showed no signs of decay.
"Alive?" Xu Xin became more alert.
If these beasts were to survive to the end, these fragile cages would be unable to stop the movements of these mutant beasts.
Xu Xin's footsteps became lighter.
After tiptoeing around the room, he found nothing except this group of mutant beasts.
"There are so many mutant beasts here. Were they specially bred?" Xu Xin pondered. "I wonder if the contract I just obtained can control these mutant beasts."
There are many kinds of wild animals in the cages, including carnivorous animals such as wild wolves and wild cats, omnivorous animals such as wild boars and bears, and even herbivorous animals such as deer and rabbits.
Xu Xin thought about it and decided not to try it for the time being. He still had two rooms to explore. What if he used the contract to wake up all the beasts? These rusted iron cages couldn't even stop ordinary beasts, let alone these mutant beasts.
Withdrew from this room.
The next door was just opposite this one. Xu Xin walked to the door and reached out to push it.
"Ying!" Keke suddenly cried out again and tugged at Xu Xin's clothes. This time, its reaction was much more intense than in the previous room. It tugged at Xu Xin's collar, as if it didn't want him to go in at all.
Xu Xin gently pushed open a gap and looked inside the house.
The scene he saw through the crack in the door made Xu Xin's pupils narrow. He covered his mouth and almost screamed out loud.
"What kind of monster is this?"
There were more than ten human bodies lying on the floor of the room. These bodies were in different postures, as if they had been thrown here directly by someone.
If it were just the dead, Xu Xin wouldn't be so frightened. Since he came to this world, over 4,000 people have died in their area alone. Although Xu Xin had never seen how they died, he no longer harbored a fear of the dead.
