Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 36: creepy underground cave

With everything ready, Xu Xin carried the stone spear into the underground cave.

He is a little sensitive to the word "underground" now, so even if Coco told him there was no danger down there, he still kept his spirits high and added red berries and oranges to himself.

When she first entered the cave, Xu Xin looked forward. The cave is very narrow, only a little wider than his shoulder width, and the narrow space cannot even allow two people to walk in it side by side.

The direction of the hole is not forward, but downward. Walking along the hole, Xu Xin's position will only get further and further away from the ground.

On both sides of the passage are potholes and walls, which look like a passage dug out by man.

Xu Xin saw the end of the road at a glance. The end of the cave was only a few hundred meters away from him.

"Strange, dead end?" Xu Xin asked suspiciously.

He also checked the surrounding walls along the way. He thought that there would be caves leading to other directions on the walls of the cave, but until he reached the end of the cave, his hands touched the earth wall at the end, and no other passages were found.

The end of the cave is no longer sloped downwards, but flat land. Xu Xin calculated it, and now his position is about 20 to 30 meters above the ground.

Looking down at Coco, he saw that Coco was at his feet, digging the ground with small claws.

Xu Xin looked at it, the color of the soil was slightly different from the surrounding area. If it weren't for his night vision ability, it would make him feel like he was in the daytime in the dark. Even with a torch, it would be impossible to see it. different land colors.

The soil has been loosened.

The treasure chest must be buried here!

"Alright Coco, leave it to me!" Xu Xin carried Coco, who was digging hard, to the back, while she took out a stone shovel and started digging at the land of different colors.

"Hey!" Accidentally, the soil that Xu Xin excavated splashed Coco all over her body, and Coco cried out in dissatisfaction, shook the soil on her body, and jumped over to hug Xu Xin's calf.

"Haha, I'm sorry, Coco!" Xu Xin couldn't help laughing. She reached out and touched Coco's head. She felt that there were dirt particles on its small head.

"Hey!"

Xu Xin continued to dig, but until the depth of the pit reached his waist, he still didn't find anything.

He looked at the soil in the pit. As he dug, the soil gradually became stained with a touch of red. Although it was not very obvious, Xu Xin could easily see it.

"Is there really no danger?" Xu Xin hesitated, the soil under his feet seemed to be soaked with blood, reminding Xu Xin of the blood-red silk threads and blood-red barbs on the dark green vines, as well as the blood-red petals of the cannibal flower just now. stamens.

He sighed, touched the little guy's head and said, "If something happens here, we'll die together."

"Hey!" Coco hugged Xu Xin's calf with one paw, and patted his chest with the other paw, as if to say, believe it, it says there is no danger, no danger!

He decided to continue to believe in Coco.

They've all come here, it's not good to give up halfway.

He continued to dig, but Xu Xin didn't keep digging down, but like the entrance of a cave, he dug up diagonally, dug up a path for him to walk up, and then spread the excavated soil on the passage. , and don't let the dirt block his way out.

Let's leave a way out for himself first. If he wants to dig deep, wouldn't it be difficult for him to come up.

He continued to dig until the depth of the hole was almost the same as his height, when his shovel suddenly hit something hard, making a sound different from the collision of stones, as if it was something made of metal.

Xu Xin's eyes lit up.

Is it a treasure chest?

He accelerated the digging speed and quickly cleared the soil under his feet.

There was indeed metal under his feet, but to his disappointment, the metal was not golden, but iron.

I don't know how long this iron thing has been buried in the soil, and there is a layer of dark red rust on the surface.

Xu Xin cleaned the soil around the exposed iron surface, but found that it was not a gadget, but an underground iron door!

An iron gate to a deeper underground!

"How could it be a door?" Xu Xin looked at the rusted handle and muttered to herself, "The iron door leading to the underground space?"

The iron door gave him the same feeling as the manhole cover on the side of the road, but the manhole cover was round, while the iron door full of rust was square, and there was a door handle also made of iron.

He dug around and found that the surrounding area was still full of red soil, which was completely different from the red soil Xu Xin had seen before.

Xu Xin reached out and grabbed a handful of soil.

[Contaminated soil (ash): Soil infected by unknown forces is useless to survivors. 】

Sure enough, the soil is also problematic.

Throwing away the soil in her hand, Xu Xin looked at the iron gate.

I can only go down.

He dug out an area where he could stand, reached out and grabbed the door handle, took a deep breath, and then struggled to pull it up.

The iron door is very heavy, but fortunately there is no lock. Xu Xin, who had increased his strength twice, exhausted all his skills and finally pulled the iron gate slowly.

The rusted iron door made a screeching sound, opening a gap.

Before Xu Xin could increase her strength, a strong and unpleasant smell came out from the gap, and it got into Xu Xin's nose unexpectedly.

"Ouch..." Xu Xin retched, and the strength in his hands loosened, only to hear a "bang", and the iron door that had just opened a gap was closed again.

Even Coco screamed in disgust at the smell, and let out a retching.

"What's in here, why is it so stinky!"

Xu Xin suffers from mild pharyngitis. He can't help feeling nauseated when he smells a certain unpleasant smell, but this nausea has nothing to do with his pharyngitis, because the smell under the iron door is obviously far beyond normal. Human tolerance!

This really stinks! It's like a spoiled canned herring paired with a sour bamboo shoot with hairy hair. It's a completely unacceptable taste!

No way~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Xu Xin repeated her old tricks, using her clothes as a mask again and covering her nose.

Once again holding the handle full of rust, Xu Xin exerted all her strength, and with the sour sound, the iron door was opened again by a gap.

Resisting the nausea, Xu Xin increased her strength.

"Give—I—get up—!!"

"Bang!!" The iron door was flipped over and smashed heavily to the other side.

A red gas diffused up from below, and the unpleasant smell instantly filled Xu Xin's nostrils.

Xu Xin couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed to the upper passage, pulled the clothes off her face and spat out.

It stinks, it really stinks!

Xu Xin felt that the smell in this door was even scarier than piranha! This is simply a biological weapon!

Coco also clawed at the wall of the cave with his small claws, making a retching sound beside him.

No, this cave is full of this smell!

Xu Xin directly grabbed Coco and rushed to the ground, breathing the fresh air in the jungle with big mouthfuls.

He had never felt that the air of the jungle was so fresh, and he even felt that the faint scent of piranha flowers wafting around was so good.

After a while, Xu Xin gritted her teeth. Never give up just because of a little taste!

With a tragic expression on his face, he was going to go down this time and really enter that stinky iron gate.

Just when Xu Xin was about to go down the hole again, he suddenly stopped and stared at the hole that he had enlarged from the corner of his eyes.

A stream of pale red gas slowly floated out from the inside, spread around the entrance of the cave, drifted to Xu Xin's side, and got into Xu Xin's nose.

"Yuck!"
