Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 559 - 379: The 3rd Grand Formation Is Promising

Then, the furry creature let out a piercing, shrill scream!

"You must have heard that scream too, right?"

Lou Fei’Er, tired from sitting, lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and continued, "It was very similar to the whistle we heard before, extremely unpleasant! The moment that sound came, I felt like my head was going to explode!"

"At that time, the guy turned around directly and swung the Wolf Fang Club at me! I leapt backward to dodge it, but this big guy actually turned to run!"

"It was running very fast, and in a hurry, I wanted to chase after it, but..."

Her eyes turned dazed.

"What’s wrong? What happened next?" Xu Xin asked.

"Well... from a position a few hundred meters away from me, I saw... a blood-red light!" Lou Fei’Er recalled, "A very bright blood-red light, penetrating directly from a few meters deep in the snow, dyeing the hundred-meter snow layer red, and it was extremely dazzling!"

"Then, I felt as if my body started to lose control, and it was like something was trying to break out from my head!"

Oh?

He felt like he had encountered that sensation before.

... It was the feeling when Silver King Mimi was upgrading using a cracked radiation stone!

The blood-red light she encountered should be similar to the light that shone over half the planet during the disaster fifty years ago.

Lou Fei’Er glanced at Xu Xin, hesitating whether to sleep but eventually spoke up: "I saw that the injured furry creature went straight into the red light and disappeared. Then, my body started moving uncontrollably toward the blood-red light..."

The furry creature disappeared...

It seems that the red light emerging from beneath the snow surface must be something like a Transmission Array.

However, was she controlled...

Xu Xin remembered the actions of those snow wolves; they also started running in that direction the moment the sound rang out.

They should have felt much the same as Lou Fei’Er, both being controlled.

"At that moment, my head became increasingly heavy, and I slowly slid toward the blood-red light, as if I was about to lose my consciousness the next moment!" A hint of fear flashed in Lou Fei’Er’s eyes, "I knew then that I absolutely could not enter the red light! So, I used the last bit of my consciousness to activate the explosion mode!"

It turned out that she wasn’t forced into the explosion mode, nor was she under threat of life.

She entered the explosion mode herself.

However, from her description, her spirit was indeed under strong impact.

Lou Fei’Er frowned and said, "I started desperately trying to get away from there, but my spiritual consumption was very quick, and I only slid for about a few hundred meters before I had a splitting headache and lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was here. To say the least, my head doesn’t hurt at all now."

A gleam flashed in Xu Xin’s eyes: "After entering the explosion mode, can you control your consciousness?"

Lou Fei’Er nodded: "Indeed I could, it must be the result of the snow leopard heart I consumed earlier."

Xu Xin nodded silently.

Unexpectedly, these mutated humans could control devices similar to the Transmission Array.

He was now curious about where the other end of the transmission might be?

The underground world?

Or perhaps...

The location of the Blood Pattern Race?

What do they intend to do by transmitting the survivors there?

Lou Fei’Er looked at the thinking Xu Xin, feeling a little uneasy.

At the time, she genuinely felt like her body was completely controlled.

A feeling of being a vanguard for others.

Could she be a traitor always at risk of being controlled?

Of course, this kind of control was different from the feeling of the contract with Xu Xin.

After signing the contract with Xu Xin, she was sincerely submissive and couldn’t muster any thought of resistance.

But that control was merely manipulation of the body.

Her consciousness was wildly resisting.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have activated the explosion mode to escape at the last moment.

This should also be related to the purple-grade snow leopard heart she consumed earlier.

The snow leopard heart allows her to have her consciousness at any time.

Even if the body is controlled.

Without the snow leopard heart, maybe she wouldn’t even have her consciousness.

By now, she might have already been transmitted to a faraway place.

Seeing Xu Xin being silent, she felt more uneasy.

She couldn’t help but ask: "Well... you wouldn’t abandon me, would you..."

She looked at Xu Xin pitifully, a bit like a puppy afraid of being abandoned.

By now, she had long abandoned the idea of leaving Xu Xin.

If Xu Xin abandoned her, even if it meant getting the "freedom" she always wanted, she would feel at a loss.

"Hmm?" Xu Xin glanced at her, "Abandon you how?"

"Oh... nothing." Lou Fei’Er felt somewhat reassured.

"How are you feeling now?" Xu Xin asked, looking at her.

Lou Fei’Er propped up her body, sat on the edge of the bed, and then stood up.

"I can walk." She walked a couple of steps, somewhat delighted, "This time the weakness seems to have gotten a bit better! But... it’s only limited to walking."

Xu Xin handed another bottle of the spiritual potion in his hand to Lou Fei’Er: "Drink it."

Lou Fei’Er’s Spiritual Power was really weak.

It must be supplemented.

Otherwise, she really might be controlled at a critical moment and become a traitor.

"What’s this?" She took it, held the vial in her hand, got the introduction, and her eyes lit up, "Spiritual potion?"

She didn’t think much, drinking it directly.

"How does it feel?" Xu Xin asked.

At first, he almost got his whole body frozen by drinking the potion continuously.

And Qi Xuefei experienced side effects just after drinking the first bottle.

This was Lou Fei’Er’s second bottle already, what reaction would she have?

"My head, it’s so clear!" Lou Fei’Er opened her eyes wide, shaking her head.

"No feeling of coldness?"

"Coldness?" She showed a confused look, "Does a very cool head count?"

Hmm...

Her body’s endurance is even stronger than mine.

Even during a period of weakness, she can use two bottles of spiritual potions consecutively without any side effects.

It’s indeed the body enhanced by mutation.

Xu Xin decided not to give her the third bottle, as it might have side effects. She’s still in a weakened state, and it might be too much for her to handle.

Let’s try again tomorrow.

Her spiritual power must be increased quickly.

"Then you should rest for now." Xu Xin stood up, "Tomorrow’s matters..."

Should the actions in Zone 187 be postponed for a day?

Lou Fei’Er suddenly spoke up, "I think the Red Mist might be able to shorten my period of weakness and might not affect tomorrow’s events."

Red Mist?

That’s right!

The Red Mist treehouse!

The treehouse was half-buried by snow before. He almost forgot about it!

Xu Xin immediately swung down from the treehouse with Lou Fei’Er and arrived beside the small cabin.

It’s already four in the afternoon, and the sky has darkened.

Looking through the window of the small cabin, he could see that the Red Mist inside was much fainter than before.

Apparently, when the temperature isn’t favorable, the emissions from the Scarlet Mist Flower also slow down.

With Xu Xin’s permission, Lou Fei’Er opened the door and went inside to sit comfortably and meditate.

Hopefully, she can recover quickly.

Xu Xin looked at her for a few moments and, seeing nothing unusual, returned to the treehouse.

At this time, both the regional and world channels were completely abuzz.

Survivors who came to the explorers had planted treehouses and reestablished contact with the world, began sharing their experiences and praising the explorers’ bravery on both channels.

Many people couldn’t help but be envious.

Among them, the most important...

With the acknowledgment of these true survivors who obtained the treehouse cores, the method of obtaining the treehouse core started to spread in the world channel.

Now, probably every region in the world knows the way to acquire a treehouse core.

However, this is something the explorers allowed.

It’s good to let them know.

At this time, he noticed that the person named Niu Fugui had replied to his private message.

He had previously sent this person a message saying, "Is your physique very special?"

And Niu Fugui replied.

"Xu Xin?! Are you... that Xu Xin?"

"Umm... my physique, it’s probably not that special... I’ve been strong since I was a kid, rarely got sick, often did winter swimming in winter, this time the cold winter, though it was a bit cold, it wasn’t much of a bother to me, I can go out without snow gear, and now it’s even better, it’s normal temperature for me. Umm... do you need my help?"

"Xu Xin, are you still there?"

These three messages were sent an hour ago, and Xu Xin had just seen them.

His physique would definitely make him a great snow mountain climber!

Xu Xin immediately dialed him.

The other side was probably waiting in the treehouse all this time, as the call was answered the moment Xu Xin made it.

"Um... hello!" The voice on the other end was a bit nervous and hurried.

"Hello, Niu Fugui, I’m Xu Xin."

"Ah ah, hello, Xu Xin... I’ve heard a lot about you." Niu Fugui’s voice was rough and hearty.

The other person seemed a bit unskilled at communication, or maybe he was stunned to be contacted by him, as he spoke haltingly.

"Just call me by my name. I’d like to ask you for a favor." Xu Xin got straight to the point.

The man on the other end, sturdy with thick brows and big eyes, stood by the screen a bit awkwardly.

"Ah ah, go ahead, I’ll try my best to help!" Upon hearing Xu Xin’s words, Niu Fugui immediately responded.

"Here’s the thing. I know about your physique, and I’m wondering, if we provide you with a full set of equipment, would you be willing to climb the snow mountain?"

Xu Xin’s opening words left the other person stunned.

"Snow... snow mountain? Me? Climb the snow mountain?" Niu Fugui’s voice stammered, "I... don’t think I can?"

"How close are you to the two beams of light?" Xu Xin asked.

"Not close at all." Niu Fugui replied honestly, "Very far from both of them."

"Which directions are they in?"

"The first light beam is to the north, the other is to the east, in short, they’re very far." Niu Fugui’s voice was a bit frustrated, "I actually also want to go to where you guys are."

Regarding this, Niu Fugui felt quite upset.

He had always admired the explorer elites and wanted to join them, but he didn’t expect the distance to be so great.

"You can climb the snow mountain and activate the array, then you can come over."

Xu Xin directly and sincerely shared his plan with Niu Fugui.

He intended to provide Niu Fugui with a complete set of equipment, including advanced snow and climbing gear, weapons and armor, as well as plenty of blue-grade fruits that boost buffs, to help him ascend the snow mountain.

After he climbs the snow mountain, a shortcut will appear around.

By then, Xu Xin will give him a purple-grade red fruit to grant him the ability to see through, enabling him to locate the shortcuts under the snow and send two other people up.

In this way, Zone 188 can activate the third array!

Niu Fuguo remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Just as Xu Xin was about to persuade him, he spoke up.

"Um... I have a request."

"Go ahead."

"If I really succeed in climbing and connect the array, I would also like to join you. Is that possible?"

Xu Xin laughed, "That’s not a request. We welcome anyone to come."

"Great! Then I’ll do it!" The words from the other end carried a lot of weight, as if to boost his own confidence.

Good.

The third array, there’s hope!
