Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse
/ Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse Chapter 21
Chapter 21 The Beast Riot Ends
Xu Xin scrolled through the Regional Channel and found the message that Ji Zhaoyang had sent before. His message had been repeated by a bunch of other people in the Regional Channel, so it was easy to find.
“Everyone, don't panic. I found out that the treehouse has a smell-shielding function. As long as you don't make any noise, you won't be discovered by the wild beasts. Don't be curious and go to the windows to look out. The windows of the short treehouses are too close to the ground and there is no cover. Moving near the windows will attract the attention of beasts. It's best to hide in a place that can't be seen from the window.”
“The treehouse has a smell-shielding function? How did he know?” Xu Xin touched his chin, “Ji Zhaoyang seems like an expert. I should get to know him if I have the chance. He should have quite a few high-grade resources.”
Until now, Xu Xin had never seen any resources above the blue grade on the Trading Platform. After all, no one had the same ability as him. The others could only rely on luck and had to bring the materials back to the treehouse to know their grades.
Unless it was someone as lucky as Li Wenxi, who found resources that were concentrated in one mine and owned it, turning her into a rich lady whose random iron ores were of the blue grade already, otherwise, others simply couldn't obtain blue-grade resources. Even for him, it took him two days to find his first blue-grade resource since leaving the spawn point.
As for the windows, it was not a problem for him. After all, his treehouse had a dense canopy, and anyone outside could not see what was inside.
The short treehouses were only about three meters tall. At this height, they were just decorations in front of felines that had great jumping abilities. The animals in this world were strong too. If their treehouses were discovered by beasts, there was no chance of escape. No wonder so many people died.
Xu Xin looked at the number of people in the Regional Channel. It had stabilized at 8140. The beast tide had retreated by now. As long as one didn't go down and court death, the few remaining beasts could no longer affect them.
The novice protection period had only passed for a few hours, and nearly 2000 people had already left this world forever.
(The beast riot has ended. Congratulations to the survivors. You have survived the first night of the beast riot and have become real treehouse explorers. Please keep up the good work!]
[The death rate of this event is 32.76%. Some survivors have left us forever. Let us send their souls off. May there be no beasts in the world after death.]
[Please don't let your guard down. The wild beasts are only retreating temporarily. They may riot again at any time. Arm yourselves. I hope you can survive the next riot.]
(To reward the survivors of this event, the jungle exploration event will be held at 9:00 am today. Please look forward to it.]
32.76%! The death rate was that high? From the number of people in jungle Regional Channel 188, the death rate was less than 20%. Were there so many deaths in other regions?
On the other hand, what did the “jungle exploration event” mean? Only a name had been given, so he had to wait until 9:00 am for the rules to be introduced? If it's an event that is a reward, does that mean there won't be any danger? However, Xu Xin had a feeling that the mysterious voice wasn't so kind.
He looked at the Regional Channel.
“It's finally over!”
“Sob, sob, mom, I'm still alive!”
“Expert, you're great! The death rate in our region is so low!”
“Jungle 188, number one!”
“I'm so sleepy and tired. I'm going to sleep.”.
“I'm going to sleep too. There's an event tomorrow morning. There'll definitely be good things in the reward event.”
Because Xu Xin had eaten an orange (blue), even though the effects had worn off, under the dining table's effect, he had already slept for an hour and a half, so he was still full of energy and didn't feel sleepy.
He took another look at the Map. The red dots around his treehouse had completely disappeared. At this time, most of the red dots were concentrated in the northwest of his treehouse. It was an unexplored place, a dark area on the Map.
It was obviously a gathering place for wild beasts, which made it a very dangerous place. If not needed, Xu Xin would definitely not go there.
He sent the attributes of the patched backpack to Li Wenxi, “A white-grade backpack. Do you want it?”
The other party didn't reply, but Xu Xin wasn't too worried about her. After all, her treehouse wasn't the lowest-grade treehouse. Just like him, as long as she didn't do risky things, there wouldn't be any problems.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
Seeing that she didn't reply, Xu Xin ate another orange and a big red berry, preparing to go out and pick up some trash. The others might not dare to go out at this time, afraid that there would be any remaining wild beasts, but Xu Xin, who had the Map, was not afraid. He knew that there were no wild beasts around him.
After being brought to the ground by the banyan tree roots, the first thing he saw was the apple tree (blue) planted next to his treehouse. In just one day, the apple tree had grown into a small tree with a thickness of two fingers. The surrounding fence had played its role well, though destroyed now, either crooked or broken from the impact.
Fortunately, the apple tree had not suffered any damage.
It was a complete mess. The ground was covered in blood and fur left behind by the wild beasts. There were even feathers that had fallen from birds of prey, emitting a faint green color.
Xu Xin walked forward and picked up the feather.
(Owl Feather (green): A feather dropped from an owl when it was struggling. There are still faint traces of blood on it.]
This was one of the materials for the stone arrow, so Xu Xin put the feather into his backpack.
Making bows and arrows required beast tendons, but he did not get this material when he dissected the bear and wolf just a moment ago.
Was it impossible to obtain beast tendons from these two animals and could only be obtained from specific animals, or was it that there was only a certain probability of obtaining it and he was unlucky enough not to get it? Or was there a problem with his technique, and he had broken the beast tendon when dissecting, so he didn't get it?
Xu Xin felt that something was amiss as he still lacked the means to conduct long-range attacks.
However, to his surprise, there were no corpses of wild beasts in the forest, not even bones. Only the messy bushes and the blood on the ground proved what kind of scuffle had just happened here.
Sure enough, the survivors weren't allowed to take advantage of this loophole. Giving a survivor a novice gift bag with the corpse of a wild beast for free was not the style of this world.
After searching for a long time, Xu Xin only managed to pick up four owl feathers.
Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the bushes at the side.
Xu Xin immediately became nervous. He pointed the stone spear in his hand in the direction of the sound, and a Map appeared in his mind. To his surprise, there were no red dots around him on the map.
“What's going on? Is there a problem with my Map?” Xu Xin was instantly nervous.
If the Map couldn't mark all wild beasts, the effect of guarding against wild beasts would be greatly reduced. After all, some wild beasts, especially the large felines at the top of the food chain, relied on unexpected bursts of power to hunt.
Just as Xu Xin was on full alert, a little brown head popped out from the bushes, its white ears twitching.
This scene was familiar.
“Oh, it's you,” Xu Xin looked at the little face and temporarily felt relieved.
It was the red panda he had met earlier.
This little guy was special, to begin with. It could move freely before the novice protection period was over, so it was normal that he couldn't detect it on the Map. It didn't mean any harm to him, so he didn't need to be too wary.
Although he couldn't rule out the possibility that there might be other aggressive beasts with the same abilities as the red panda, if he did encounter one, he could only blame it on his bad luck.
The red panda emerged from the messy bushes and did the same action as last time. It grabbed the leg of Xu Xin's shorts and squeaked. Its furry tail was swinging behind it, sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
Xu Xin understood what it meant and took out a big red berry from his backpack, “You want to eat this?”
The red panda immediately nodded.
“You can understand what I'm saying?” Xu Xin was surprised.
