Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse Chapter 31

Chapter 31 The Pattern on the Treasure Chest

Just as Xu Xin was checking the items that could be made under the [Treehouse Modification) column, Li Wenxi sent him a message, “Xu Xin, you're back?”

It seemed that she was fine.

Xu Xin had a lot of questions to ask her, so he video-called her.

The video call was connected immediately. Seeing Li Wenxi's appearance in the video, Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.

At that moment, she looked extremely disheveled on the screen. Her exposed arms and thighs were covered in scratches, and even the novice two-piece set had become a little tattered, becoming quite revealing.

However, she didn't seem to notice this. Her expression was very excited, and after picking up the video call, she immediately said, “Xu Xin, I found the copper treasure chest! Ah, hi, how are you, little red panda!”

“Yin!” Cocoa, who was lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, greeted Li Wenxi.

“How did you get injured? Did you get attacked by the monsters near the treasure chest?”

“That's right, that's right. How did you know? Oh, you must've found the treasure chest too, right?” Li Wenxi came to her senses and said in realization, “I knew you'd be able to find it. Have you read the Regional Channel? Apparently not many could find the treasure chest! We're still quite powerful!”

Xu Xin took a look at the Regional Channel and noticed that the number of people left had reached 7568. Another few hundred people had lost their lives during the day.

“There should be quite a few who found the treasure chests, but the monsters near the treasure chests probably…” Xu Xin did not continue, but Li Wenxi understood. She nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed. By the way, what kind of monster did you encounter? My treasure chest was in the root of a vine!”

Hm?

Her monster was the same as his?

“Mine was also at the root of a vine. The vine suddenly came out of the ground and attacked me twice before it died.”

“Eh? The same happened to me too. The vine suddenly appeared from under my feet! If I hadn't been on guard, I would have died! I saw in the Regional Channel that the monsters that the other people met who got the treasure chest were not vines? I thought that the danger everyone encountered would be different.”

Xu Xin was also browsing the Regional Channel. Some had obtained the copper treasure chest and were very active in the channel, including the person who had been attacked by the snake not long after he had left his treehouse in the afternoon.

Some were suddenly attacked by snakes that were as thick as a bowl's diameter, some were chased and gnawed by more than a dozen mice the size of kittens, some had a group of bugs the size of cockroaches burrow into their bodies, and some were suddenly entangled by thorns. But without exception, all of these monsters had suddenly burrowed out of the ground.

The monster that he and Li Wenxi just happened to be the same?

“I'm not sure, maybe it's a coincidence,” Xu Xin couldn't figure it out. He shook her head and asked, “How did you find the copper treasure chest?” “I don't know either. I just walked for a day based on my intuition. Just when I was about to give up, I was ambushed by the vines,” Li Wenxi confessed honestly.

Good Lord, she was probably the luckiest person alive. To think she had found a random treasure chest through sheer luck within a three-kilometer radius.

“Did you also get fertilizer and two bags of seeds in the treasure chest?”

“That's right,” Li Wenxi nodded and said, “The seeds are what they mentioned in the channel, the seeds of birch trees and pine trees. These should be the same for everyone. I just don't know what the logs and fine wood are used for. I've looked through the production list, but there's nothing that requires logs and fine wood.”

Xu Xin opened his mouth but shut it again and decided not to tell Li Wenxi about the silver treasure chest for now. After all, even he did not know how to explain the giant Deinosuchus in the river. He could only say, “Maybe it's related to the items in the later treasure chests.”

“Ah, who cares? I've decided to take it easy. I'm not going out at night. It's so dangerous even during the day, so it's just unsafe to go out at night! Ah, ouch, ouch, ouch…” Li Wenxi's injured arm hit the table at the side. She hurriedly retracted her hand and gently rubbed it.

Xu Xin gave Li Wenxi the medicinal herbs that he had previously found that could be applied externally, “Use this. There should be a lot of herbs around your house, but they look the same as ordinary grass, so it's not easy to recognize them.”

“Really?” Li Wenxi looked at the medicinal herb in her hand. It was exactly the same as the weeds under her treehouse, but the introduction she saw was that it was [Hemostatis Herb: A special type of grass.]

Without Xu Xin's Item Identification ability, Li Wenxi's item Introduction was not as detailed as his. Instead, it was just a simple sentence.

“You even found this?” Most items had to be held in hand or touched to see the introduction. It sounded very simple, but who would be so free as to fiddle with the weeds? On top of that, it could only be discovered after the hemostasis herb was pulled out.

Up until now, no such herb with healing abilities had appeared on the Trading Platform.

“I discovered it by chance,” Of course, Xu Xin wouldn't reveal his ability, “Alright, if you're not going out, then you should rest. I won't be staying in the treehouse tonight.”

“Oh, oh, okay. You've already given me so many things, I should return this to you!” Li Wenxi was clearly a little embarrassed by her “taking it easy” approach.

“No need, just take it. Don't forget about me if you have any good stuff in the future.”

After ending the video call, Xu Xin took out the golden compass.

SUI

Only the golden treasure chest was left. He wondered what kind of resources would be in

it.

The copper treasure chest had been at the root of the killer vine, and the silver treasure chest had been in the mouth of the Deinosuchus. So where would the golden treasure chest be?

(Golden Treasure Chest Compass: Turn the needle to determine the general direction of the golden treasure chest once every 5 hours.]

The interval between each use of this compass was much longer than the silver treasure chest compass, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of finding the golden treasure chest.

He turned the compass. The needle moved and finally stopped in the northwest direction.

“It's over there, huh…”

The hilly area full of red dots was in the northwest, but fortunately, it was more than three kilometers away, so the golden treasure chest was definitely not in that dangerous

ure

area.

Xu Xin was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he first roasted a few pounds of bear meat and had a sumptuous dinner with the mushrooms he had collected earlier. The search for the golden treasure chest this time was likely to be a fierce battle, so how could he not eat and drink to his heart's content before setting off?

Placing the silver treasure chest next to the copper treasure chest, Xu Xin was about to stand up and leave when his eyes suddenly focused on the two treasure chests that were placed side by side.

He had thought that the two treasure chests would look exactly the same, but when they were placed together, he realized the difference.

Previously, he couldn't see anything when he looked at one of them alone, but now that the two treasure chests were placed together, the patterns on the silver-copper treasure chests seemed to form a pattern, an incomplete pattern.

From the side, it looked like a beast's body. The patterns on the copper treasure chest that was on the left were the tail and hind legs of the beast, while on the silver treasure chest that was on the right were the beast's middle body and front legs. The head was missing. From the looks of it, the head should be on the body of the golden treasure chest.

Just from its body, this pattern looked like the body of the divine beast kylin. Its body was like a deer that was covered in scales, and its tail was like a dragon's tail.

Xu Xin had already encountered two beasts that were beyond logic in this world, namely the python in the middle of the lake and the crocodile at the bottom of the stream. Both of them were beyond his imagination, so even if he really saw a kylin in this world, he wouldn't be too surprised.

He did not know what the pattern on the treasure chests represented. Forget it, he shouldn't think too much about it now. As long as he could find the golden treasure chest, he would naturally know what the pattern was.
