Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 488: The Lake Where the Water Level Dropped (4600 words)

The troll just now was formed from a hill.

According to Qin Fu's description, just when he was about to walk out of the hilly resource area, a small hill with a height of more than ten meters on the edge suddenly shook!

Then, the mountain started to move, and then, a huge head was lifted from the ground!

"Wait, wait, what do you mean?" Zeng Tao looked confused and puzzled, "Lift your head up from the ground? How do you lift it up?"

"The low hill at the edge is actually the back of this troll." Thinking of the scene at that time, Qin Fu smiled wryly, "This troll is actually kneeling down and kowtowing. Worship towards the center of the hilly resource area, which is the altar."

"The real hill is only the peak of the small half of the hill on its back. This blood-striped troll seems to be crushed under the mountain."

"My position at that time was right in front of it. When it got up, half of the hills behind it turned into gravel and dust and scattered on the ground. Mace, eyes fixed on me."

"You all know what happened after that."

Qin Fu finished his experience simply and quickly, then leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes.

Having said so many words, he was still in a weak state and was even more exhausted.

He needs to continue to rest.

Xu Xin didn't bother him anymore, she walked out from the second bedroom, and by the way pulled Zeng Tao who still wanted to ask for details.

"Hey!" Zeng Tao is now incapacitated, and her weight is very light, so she was easily dragged out by Xu Xin.

"Why, let me ask him again!" Zeng Tao said a little dissatisfied, "His consciousness is that the troll disguised itself as a hill? What he said is too incredible, right?"

"He needs to rest now." Xu Xin shook his head. "He's not thinking clearly now. The description just now was too general. Let's talk about the details after he recovers."

"Okay..." Zeng Tao glanced unwillingly at the closed second bedroom door, and then looked out the window, "If it wasn't for my weakness, I'd go to the hilly resource area to have a look now!"

For Zeng Tao, this kind of thing was really unbelievable.

But it was different for Xu Xin.

He still remembers that during the rainy season, the hills that existed in the northwest direction of his tree house all disappeared.

He later asked Li Wenxi about it. Because there are also many hills and mountains on Li Wenxi's side, which can be seen from the tree house.

"Of course you can see it. The water at that time was five or six meters deep, right? How could it be possible to bury those hills?"

This was Li Wenxi's reply at the time.

He knew then that those hills... were alive!

They can disappear in thunderstorms during the rainy season, and that must be alive!

But now, Qin Fu's experience made him more sure of this idea.

So it seems...

The hills around the hilly resource area, wouldn't it be... all trolls like this time, right? !

……No way?

In the process of exploring the head of the giant who guarded the world, he also explored from the cave inside the hills that stretched across the city, and there was a dark river inside.

etc……

As Qin Fu said just now, the troll's posture is equivalent to thinking about worshiping something in the center of the hilly resource area.

If these hills are all trolls similar to Voldemort, then there may really be a cave-like passage inside the hills.

... Under those hills, wouldn't there be a troll?

That's outrageous...

Xu Xin immediately called Lou Feier: "Go to the hilly resource area in the northwest to take a look and see if there are any abnormalities over there. Be careful, you can only explore on the periphery, don't go deep."

"Is that the direction the troll came from? I know." Lou Fei'er was ready to set off immediately.

"Try to hurry up and come back before dark. The first night in the scorching heat may not be safe."

It's past six o'clock now, and the sky is still bright.

The daytime lengthened a lot in one day, which made Xu Xin feel that the day passed very slowly.

Hilly resource area...

And this bronze short knife "Secret Key".

He had to figure out what was going on.

Sighing, he looked at Zeng Tao who was sitting aside on the sofa poking cocoa again.

When Zeng Tao saw him looking over, she immediately raised her head and said, "I'll stay with you today, isn't there a lot of people downstairs? I'm the only one missing, right?"

With her current state, it is naturally impossible for Xu Xin to let her go back to her tree house.

With her low tree house, if there is any danger tonight, it will be death.

"You might as well sleep with Lou Fei'er, she can take care of you." Xu Xin suggested.

"I'm not going!" Zeng Tao flatly refused, "I'm not going to live with her!"

She had a gritted expression on her face: "If I'm not weak right now, in my current state, she will definitely do all kinds of things to me and bully me all the time! It was like that last time! I won't go! I Stay here with you!"

various things? whats the matter?

Xu Xin laughed: "Okay, but you can only live on the second floor."

"I know, you and Li Wenxi are going to do shameful things up there, right?" Zeng Tao stuck out her tongue at him, "Be careful to empty yourself out!"

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and ran to the second floor.

This little girl...

Xu Xin shook her head.

He did not follow.

When allocating rooms to them back then, a few more rooms were made, and there was no shortage of rooms for her, so she just went down and chose one.

Walking to the window, he opened the window, and a gust of hot air rushed in.

It was already very hot outside, but it was much better than in the afternoon.

According to this cooling rate, when it gets dark, it may even drop below 40 degrees.

The temperature drops really fast!

Maybe it's because...

He looked towards the sun which was approaching the horizon.

The sun is no longer glaring.

The entire sky was dyed half red, presenting a very beautiful sunset picture.

It seems that compared to the annoying snowy nights in the cold winter, the hot nights at this stage are actually the most comfortable period of the day.

The most difficult time to survive should be from noon to afternoon.

The jungle at that time, with a temperature of around 60 degrees, was simply a natural steam room!

That's right, it is a steam room, not a sauna room, because in this hot summer period, it is not humid heat accompanied by rainfall, but dry heat!

The air is extremely dry now, just opened the window for such a short period of time, Xu Xin already felt that her throat and nasal cavity were starting to dry up!

He wanted to look at the lake next to the tree house.

The extent of the lake has shrunk considerably, and the shallow waters have completely disappeared.

Even the deep water area in the middle, from his current point of view, the water surface can no longer be seen, leaving only a dark abyss.

He could see the dry, cracked walls of the abyss.

Those are all stone walls that were originally in the water more than ten meters deep, and now they are completely exposed.

This scorching heat has evaporated a lot of the lake's water temperature!

Um……?

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.

etc.

The water level of the lake has gone down?

How much did it go down?

Are those copper ores exposed?

If it is exposed, he can mine copper even if he doesn't enter the lake!

In other words, is there any crisis in the lake now?

If there is no danger for the time being, maybe you can go down and explore!

Although the outside world can reach up to 50 or 60 degrees, the temperature below the water surface will never be so high!

There are definitely good things here!

He tried the temperature outside, and he felt that it was already suitable for activities outside, so he grabbed Coco, who was napping on the sofa, and swung down from the tree house.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?" Keke didn't wake up, but a gust of hot air hit his face, making him scratch with his little paws.

"Okay, Keke, help me see if this lake is safe."

Xu Xin walked to the original location by the lake, and then continued to walk in.

Shallow waters have completely dried up.

The bottom of the lake, which was originally soft and muddy, had been hardened by the scorching sun, and it was completely dry and cracked.

He continued to walk forward, and within a few steps, he reached the edge of the abyss.

...?

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

Has the size of the huge pit in the abyss expanded again?

He seemed to have felt that the size of the abyss crater had expanded before, but because there were too many things to do, he didn't think about it again.

Now it seems……

This huge pit in the abyss has expanded a lot...

He looked down the huge pit.

At a glance, he saw the copper ore exposed on the rock wall.

A whole circle of copper ore!

At this time, the water level happened to be less than two meters below the copper ore belt.

Copper ore, exposed!

The location of the copper ore was probably at a water depth of about 40 meters before, right?

The water level of this lake actually dropped forty meters under the scorching heat and exposure to the sun!

This is simply too exaggerated!

The normal lake water, which is more than ten meters deep, will probably dry up directly!

"Huh...?" Ke Ke poked her head out of his shoulder and looked down.

"How is it, Ke Ke, is there any danger?" Xu Xin asked, pointing down.

"Oh." Coco shook his head, indicating that he didn't feel any danger.

...Go down and have a look.

Xu Xin took out the claws he used to climb the snow-capped mountains before, grabbed the edge of the cliff in the abyss, and then slowly lowered himself down.

The hook claw was only about 20 meters long. He put it halfway down, grabbed the raised stone on the rock wall, retracted the hook claw, and then grabbed the rock wall at a depth of 20 meters, and continued to lower himself.

This time, when the hook was at its longest position, he also descended to the copper ore circle.

A whole circle of copper ore was exposed!

many!

Really a lot!

"Hey..." Ke Ke held his shoulder firmly, looking at the bottomless and extremely dark water layer of the abyss below.

"Is there any danger?" Xu Xin scratched its big tail and asked.

"Oh." Coco shook her head again.

"No danger?"

"Oh!"

The little guy jumped directly from Xu Xin's shoulder into the water, and thrashed twice in the water.

Although the temperature is now much lower than before, it started at 40 degrees. The little guy felt too hot, so he jumped into the water to cool off.

Since it dared to jump, it meant that there should be no danger.

Only then did Xu Xin retract the hook claw in peace of mind.

He also thought that if there was danger, he would just pull himself up quickly, but it should not be necessary now.

Seeing Ke Ke thumping in the water, he smiled and jumped into the water with a thump.

"hiss--!"

As soon as he entered the water, the coolness directly made him gasp.

The water is so cold!

It's like the icy mountain spring water flowing in the scorching hot mountains. No matter how hot the outside environment is, stepping in that kind of spring water can freeze your feet until you feel unconscious!

The water in the abyss is not that cold. After all, it has been exposed to the scorching sun, and because of evaporation, the water level has been lowered by a full forty meters.

But at this time, the water on the edge of the rock wall can no longer be exposed to direct sunlight, and the temperature is only about ten degrees.

Compared with the outside temperature at this time, the temperature difference of more than 30 degrees made Xu Xin shiver from the cold.

"Huh?" Ke Ke swam over with her little paws.

There is no danger, and the water is still so cool.

It seems that during this scorching heat, we can finally go deep into the bottom of the lake to explore!

Of course, it wasn't him who came here to explore.

Professional things are left to professional people.

It's the turn of the brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu to show their talents!

Xu Xin knocked two pieces of copper ore casually, grabbed Cocoa who was completely wet, and easily returned to the ground with hook claws.

At this time, the sun was already half below the horizon.

But despite this, the power of the sun is still very powerful. In just a few tens of seconds, the setting sun evaporated all the water on his body.

"...It's still hot, let's go back first."

"Oh!"

When he returned to the tree house, Lou Feier also happened to send him a voice call.

"I've already circled the hilly resource area, and there doesn't seem to be anything worth noting." Lou Fei'er reported on her exploration, and then asked, "Why don't I go in and have a look?"

"No need." Xu Xin immediately refused.

It's almost dark, the first night of the new stage, it's better to be quiet.

"Is there really nothing found? Is there any change from before?"

"Should... not?" Lou Fei'er said with some uncertainty, "At least there is nothing worth noting. As for the changes... I don't seem to have been here often, right? I don't know if there have been any changes. "

That being said, it seems to be true.

Since Lou Feier was captured, it seems that she really hasn’t been there.

"The hills in that circle were basically connected before. Even if there is an entrance to the hill resource area, the distance is at most a dozen meters. Is it the same now?" Xu Xin asked.

"Huh? That is indeed a change!" Lou Feier immediately said, and then heard her say to her mount, "Axue, stop."

"What happened? What changed?"

"My current position is at a gap where I can enter the interior. The width of this gap... is definitely 50 or 60 meters?"

Big gap?

It seems that that position should be the position of the troll dismembered by him.

The troll was bombarded by him until there was only one head left, and that position was naturally vacant.

"You come back first." Xu Xin said.

If there is nothing to do tonight, then when the weather is cooler tomorrow, he will go and have a look by himself.

The sky gradually turned dark and the temperature dropped again.

The temperature has finally dropped below forty degrees!

Xu Xin glanced at the World Channel.

The number of people in other regions did not decrease much.

However, many people feel weak and uncomfortable due to heat stroke caused by the intense heat of the day.

There are also some people who are short of water and ask for water everywhere.

These people, if there are no further measures, I am afraid they will not live for long.

Xu Xin didn't bother to help them anymore.

The last time they helped them, they were already doing their best. This time, it's up to them.

Now even he himself has not figured out the current situation, and the tree house has been attacked by giant beasts, so he has no time to help others.

Li Wenxi soon returned with a large army.

This time, she gained a lot.

"Don't worry about the saltpeter!"

Xu Xin asked how much she had, but she only told him two words.

Enough!

Generally, when she said the word "enough", it meant that the resources were very rich.

Don't ask, just asking is enough!

When Xu Xin told her about the copper mine, her eyes lit up immediately.

She almost immediately went to mine with the big team that had just returned to rest, but was stopped, and pushed into the bathroom to let her take a shower.

Because, now the night has completely fallen.

Xu Xin contacted Qin Yunlong and informed him of the current situation of the lake.

Qin Yunlong immediately expressed his interest and even wanted to come here now.

Of course, Xu Xin also stopped him.

Perhaps it was because he had just experienced the attack of trolls, and his sense of crisis began to increase.

He turned his head and glanced at the starry sky outside the window.

Hope it doesn't go wrong tonight.
