Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

After preparing everything, Xu Xin entered the underground cave with the stone spear.

He is a little sensitive to the word underground now, so even though Coco told him that there is no danger below, he still cheered up and added red berries and oranges to himself.

When entering the cave for the first time, Xu Xin looked forward. The cave was very narrow, probably only a little wider than his shoulder width, and the narrow space could not even allow two people to walk side by side in it.

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

On both sides of the passage are potholed soil walls, which look like a passage dug artificially.

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, thinking that there would be holes leading to other directions on the walls of the cave, but until he reached the end of the cave and touched the earth wall at the end with his hands, he found no other passages.

The end of the cave is no longer sloping down, but flat land. Xu Xin did some calculations and found that his current position is about twenty to thirty meters above the ground.

Looking down at Ke Ke, he saw Ke Ke was at his feet, pawing the ground with his little paws.

Xu Xin looked intently, and found that the color of the soil was slightly different from the surrounding ones. If it wasn't for his night vision ability that made him feel like he was in daylight in the dark, even with a torch, it would be impossible to see the color of the soil. The color of the land varies.

The soil has been loosened.

The treasure chest must be buried here!

"Okay Keke, leave it to me!" Xu Xin hugged Keke who was digging hard to the back, took out the stone shovel, and started digging at the land of different colors.

"Hey!" Accidentally, the soil excavated by Xu Xin splashed on Ke Ke's body, Ke Ke cried out in dissatisfaction, shook the soil on his body, jumped over and hugged Xu Xin's calf.

"Haha, I'm sorry Keke!" Xu Xin couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched Keke's head, feeling that there were still particles of dirt on its small head, and patted it, "I'll give you a bath when I get back!"

"Oh!"

Xu Xin continued to dig, but nothing was dug out until the depth of the pit reached his waist.

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

"Is it really not dangerous?" Xu Xin hesitated a little. The soil under her feet seemed to be soaked in blood, which reminded Xu Xin of the blood-red threads and barbs on the dark green vines, as well as the blood-red petals and thorns of the piranha just now. pistil.

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

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

He decided to continue to believe in Coco.

It's all here, it's not good to give up halfway.

He continued to dig, but Xu Xin didn't keep digging down. Instead, like the entrance of a cave, he first dug up obliquely, dug a way for him to walk up, and spread the excavated soil on the passageway. Don't let the dirt block his way out.

Leave a way out for yourself first, if you have 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 as high as his height, when his shovel suddenly hit something hard and made 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 speed of digging 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 up the soil around the exposed iron surface, only to find that it was not a gadget, but an underground iron gate!

An iron door leading to a deeper underground!

"How could it be a door?" Xu Xin looked at the rusty handle and muttered to himself, "An iron door leading to the underground space?"

This iron door gave him the same feeling as the manhole cover on the side of the road, but the manhole cover was round, and this rusty iron door was square, with a door handle that was also made of iron.

He dug around and found that the surrounding area was still covered with red soil, 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 contaminated by unknown forces is useless to survivors. 】

Sure enough, the soil is also a problem.

Throwing away the dirt in her hands, 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 doorknob, took a deep breath, and pulled upwards.

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

The rusty iron door made a sharp and harsh sound, and opened a gap.

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

"Ugh..." Xu Xin retched, loosened his grip, and heard a "bang", and the iron door that had just been opened a gap was closed again.

Even Coco screamed disgusted by the smell and let out a dry retch.

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

Xu Xin suffers from mild pharyngitis, and can't help but feel nauseous when he smells a certain degree of unpleasant smell, but this time the 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 hairy sour bamboo shoots, it's a completely unacceptable taste physically!

There was no way, Xu Xin repeated the old trick, using clothes as a mask again, covering her nose.

Holding the rusty handle again, Xu Xin exerted all his strength, and with a toothache sound, the iron door was opened again with a gap.

Suppressing the feeling of nausea, Xu Xin increased her strength.

"Give--me-start--!!"

"Kuuuuuuuuuuu!" The iron door was flipped over and fell heavily to the other side.

A red gas permeated up from below, and the unpleasant smell filled Xu Xin's nostrils in an instant.

Xu Xin couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the passage above, pulled off the clothes on her face and spat it out.

It stinks, it really stinks!

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

Ke Ke also pawed at the cave wall with her small paws, making retching sounds beside him.

No, this hole is full of this smell!

Xu Xin grabbed Ke Ke and rushed to the ground, breathing in the fresh air in the jungle.

He had never felt that the air in the jungle was so fresh, and even felt that the faint scent of piranhas wafting around was so pleasant.

After a while, Xu Xin gritted his teeth. You can't give up just because of a little taste!

He had a tragic face, ready to go down this time and really enter the extremely smelly iron gate.

Just as Xu Xin was about to go down to the entrance of the cave again, he suddenly stopped, looking at the cave entrance that had been enlarged by himself twitchingly from the corner of his eyes.

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

"vomit!"
