Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The cave is completely closed, and you can't see outside, so it's pitch black inside.

But Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang had already eaten the red berries, and Silver King and Coco could already see in the dark, so they were not affected.

The cave is very quiet, and the sound of their footsteps on the slippery ground is very clear, so that the sound of dripping water can be clearly captured by them.

After tens of millions of years of dissolution and deposition, the terrain inside the cave is rough and slippery. If you accidentally trip over it, you will fall on the ground. can be directly hit.

This is not one of those caves on earth that have been treated for tourism, so Xu Xin walked very carefully.

"Hey!" Coco Xu Xin jumped off his shoulders and ran to the front.

"Be careful, don't run around!" Xu Xin was a little helpless. This little guy runs around every time. Although it can find something special every time, it really makes him a little scared every time.

The silver king was very obedient, and followed Xu Xin's back all the time. Its size is relatively large, and it is a little difficult to walk in such a rugged area with raised stone pillars from time to time, but it is still much more stable than a human who walks on two feet.

"Hey!" Coco responded in front of him.

Its stature is small, and it is easier to walk through the cave.

"Are we still in this circle of hills?" Ji Chaoyang asked Xu Xin while holding a sharp stone pillar from top to bottom in front of him.

"Yes, it should be still in the hills." Xu Xin has been paying attention to the map. Their current location is in the hills, and the direction in which this cave is curved is also consistent with the direction in which the hills are connected. It should be a cave in the connected hills.

Of course, it may also be underground. After all, Xu Xin's map can only see the position of the plane, but not the depth in the vertical direction.

Continuing to walk forward, both of them heard the faint sound of water flowing.

There should be living water flowing ahead.

However, they were not surprised. The cave was originally formed by the erosion of water flow. It is very normal to have flowing water in the cave, and it is abnormal if it is not.

Soon, after walking for another hundred meters, the two came to a very clear water stream.

The flow of water is not fast, or even slow. This water flow came along the hole in front, but it did not flow into the section of the hole where Xu Xin was now, but bent and flowed into an underground dark hole on the side.

There, it's not where they can go.

Coco was standing by the water at this time, and when he saw Xu Xin coming, he immediately snorted and ran to Xu Xin's feet.

"This water flow is not small." Xu Xin visually measured the depth of the water flow, how could it be two meters.

Although the karst caves are formed by the dissolution of rivers, there are no rivers around and inside the hilly reserve, only a lake with a relatively wide area in the middle.

Could it be, the underground river?

Ji Chaoyang squatted by the river and carefully observed the creatures in the water.

"There are fish in the river, and there are eyes. It's pitch black here. If there is a species that has been living in this black hole, the fish eyes should not have degenerated." Ji Chaoyang looked at a motionless black fishway in the water.

"That is to say, these fish came in from the outside?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up, "Then as long as we go upstream along the river, we should be able to get out."

Moreover, the upstream direction of the river also happened to be in the direction of the salt mine cave and the giant's head along this circle of hills.

If there is any secret, it must be next to the giant's head.

"Well, keep going upstream."

The river did not occupy all the space in the cave, Xu Xin and the others continued to walk along the river.

"Hey!" Coco ran to the front again.

The ground became more slippery at this time, and although there was still a road, it was already very narrow, so Xu Xin and the others could only move forward more carefully. However, their speed was much slower.

"You should be able to swim, right?" Xu Xin said to Ji Chaoyang, who was walking cautiously beside him.

The speed of going forward is too slow now, and it will be dark in a few hours outside. If you go down at this speed, I am afraid that you may not be able to find an exit tonight.

There are still a lot of things to do today, including taking Li Yajun to Li Wenxi's tree house, and improving the decoration and the success rate of alchemy, so as to try to get the coordinates before tomorrow to connect the four people's tree house here.

Although Ji Chaoyang also said that it is unlikely that snow and ice will come tomorrow, it is necessary to make adequate preparations.

So they can't spend too much time here.

Moreover, if they haven't been out and can't contact the outside, the situation of Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei is not very good, and they don't have mounts, should they stay outside and wait, or go back by themselves.

"Of course I can swim. During the rainy season, I was also the one who eliminated tornadoes, although one step slower than you." Ji Chaoyang avoided a sharp stalactite pillar and turned to look at him, "Why, what do you want? Going upstream from the river?"

"I really have this plan." Xu Xin glanced at the slow-moving river.

What he is wearing now is a purple scale armor set, and it is also his home field in the water!

"...I don't have a problem." Ji Chaoyang felt that this proposal was a good one.

Although there may be danger underwater, it is so difficult to walk on the road, and the risk factor is not smaller than underwater, and the water here is very clear, and both of them have night vision capabilities, so there is no obstruction of sight.

"However, does your silver king know water?" Ji Chaoyang looked at the silver king who had been following him.

"Ow!" King Yin heard Ji Chaoyang's questioning, and immediately raised his head and shouted, saying that he had no problems.

The cry of the silver king echoed in the cave, calling back Coco who had run to the front.

Coco ran to them and stood on the ground with his head tilted.

This little guy doesn't need to go into the water, and it can move easily on the ground.

"Coco, we're going to swim, just follow on the land." Xu Xin crouched down, touched Coco's little head, and said, "By the way, help us to see what road there is."

"Huh?" Coco reacted a little before he understood what Xu Xin meant, and nodded his head, "Huh!"

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang tried the water with their hands. It was very cold, and it was almost zero degrees. If they were ordinary people, they would never choose to jump into the water.

But the two of them were wearing high-level suits to withstand some of the cold, and even if they fell ill, they still had Qi Xuefei's medicine to cover, and basically nothing would happen.

The two looked at each other and jumped into the river.

"Ow!" Silver King followed them and jumped into the water.

"Oh, it's really cold!" Xu Xin shuddered. Although the temperature of the air is also very low, it is completely different from being immersed in water.

"...Get moving quickly, or your hands and feet will freeze." After that, Ji Chaoyang plunged into the water and began to swim forward.

Xu Xin glanced at the silver king and found that it had no problem in the water at all, and he also plunged into the water and followed.

"Hey!" Coco also followed up on the shore.

The depth of this dark river is more than two meters, and the width is also three or four meters, which is completely enough for them to move in the water.

Once the identification ability is turned on, the underwater things can be seen at a glance.

There are some green-level stones at the bottom, as well as some unknown plants, all of which are white-level green-level, not even blue-level water plants.

Continuing to swim forward for a long time, there is nothing worth noting, Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both came up to change their breath.

He looked at the silver king, and the silver king followed closely behind them. The swimming speed was not slow, and he completely followed the two of them.

Coco was also on the shore, and when he saw him get out, he called out "嘤".

"Here... where is it?" Ji Chaoyang panted a little, but fortunately, when he came in just now, he ate apricot, which could continue to restore his strength, and it was not a big problem.

"...This river flows in this circle of hills, and now we have swam around the hills for a little while." Xu Xin has also been following the map.

The two of them swam very fast, faster than normal running.

In fact, his speed could be faster, but he was afraid that Ji Chaoyang would not be able to keep up, so he slowed down the speed, but this way, he could have enough time to observe the surroundings underwater and on the water.

"Keep walking." Xu Xin plunged into the water again.

The two continued to swim forward.

After swimming for a long time, Xu Xin found that this dark river seemed to be getting wider and deeper.

Before, the width was only three or four meters, and the depth was only about two meters. Now, the depth has reached three or four meters, and the width has come directly to five or six meters. Even the surrounding caves are much wider than before.

"嘤! 嘤嘤!" Coco suddenly shouted on the shore.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang got out of the water one after another.

"嘤! 嘤嘤!" Coco quickly gestured with his small paws at the two of them.

Xu Xin understood what it meant, and her heart tightened, and she immediately said to Ji Chaoyang: "Let's go up, Keke said that if we go further, there is danger in the river!"

Ji Chaoyang didn't talk nonsense: "Okay!"

The silver king had already stepped on the shore twice, shaking the water on his body.

Xu Xin swam to the shore. Instead of going up first, he plunged his head into the water again and looked deeper ahead.

The water was dark, but his scales and red berries allowed him to see everything in the water. He might be able to see something ahead.

The front is very clear, because the river has an arc, so you can't see very far.

Um? !

Xu Xin suddenly discovered that there were suddenly two red dots in the river.

After that, the red dots suddenly became many, densely packed, and all of them were rapidly approaching here!

...is that the eyes of a ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ mutant creature? !

"Hey!" Coco shouted anxiously on the shore again.

Xu Xin jumped out of the water, put his hands up, rolled directly to the shore, and quickly got up!

Ji Chaoyang was already on the shore at this time. He was twisting the water on the leather armor. Seeing Xu Xin was so nervous, his expression tightened: "What's the matter, what did you see underwater?"

At this time, the cave was very wide, at least a dozen meters wide, so the shore was also a few meters wide. He picked up the cocoa and put it on his shoulders, pulled Ji Chaoyang and the silver king away from the river, and leaned against the cave. On the wall, I looked at the river a few meters away.

On the map, many red dots are lined up in the shape of a river at the position of the hills, and they are rapidly moving towards their position!

Ji Chaoyang didn't ask any more, but also looked at the river and took out the crossbow.

Both of them can already hear the sound of something swimming in a large area underwater!

"Hey!"

"Come on!" Xu Xin also took out the crossbow and aimed it at the stream.

"Whoa!"

Accompanied by the loud sound of water, a one-meter-long blood-red fish emerged from the water!

Xu Xintong's hole shrank, and Ji Chaoyang pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" Two overlapping explosions sounded, and the fierce fire made both of them temporarily blinded for a moment.

The blood-red big fish was directly blown into the water by the blast.

But things are not getting better!

At the same moment, three blood-red fish nearly one meter long jumped out of the river, and they went straight to bite Xu Xin!

That mouth full of sharp and irregular fangs makes people feel numb just looking at it!

It's a piranha!

Larger piranhas than those in Xu Xin's lake before!
