Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The toad didn't seem to be very convenient to move in the gap because of its fat body, so it didn't go forward, but just quietly looked in Xu Xin's direction without moving.

Two protruding red eyes, which are quite large for its body, look a bit creepy.

But Xu Xin wouldn't be intimidated by its appearance. Compared with the giant boa constrictor in the middle of the lake, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream, and the blood-striped troll, this toad is a bit cute.

"Isn't this a target?" Xu Xin secretly felt it was funny, and aimed at the blood-striped toad and pulled the crossbow in his hand.

The crossbow shot at the toad quickly, and just when Xu Xin thought that one arrow would kill it, the bright red tongue suddenly sprang out from the mouth of the blood-striped toad, directly smashing the crossbow nearly one meter away from the toad. rolled into the mouth!

"Ah?" Xu Xin was a little dumbfounded, "This..."

This crossbow was made with mutated rabbit ears, the strongest crossbow below the purple level, was it intercepted so easily?

Is it because the green level crossbow bolts are not strong enough?

Xu Xin didn't believe in evil. He stared at the blood-striped toad that was completely motionless at this time, loaded a poisonous crossbow bolt on the crossbow, and then aimed at it and pulled the trigger.

The same scene appeared again, and the poisonous crossbow was also drawn into the toad's mouth, and then there was no more. The fat toad remained motionless at the corner.

Snake venom has no effect if it does not enter the blood. If it is swallowed, it will only be destroyed by the digestive juice and will not exert any effect.

It seemed that the crossbow did not pose much threat to the blood-striped toad.

Speaking of which, the tongue just stuck out by more than one meter, this tongue is a bit too long!

Wait...toad?

Shouldn't this creature live in water? Where does the water come from in this weird labyrinth of gaps?

Could it be, an underground river?

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes. If he beat the toad away and chased after it, would he be able to get out of this maze and find the location of the underground water source?

The mutant creatures here are not deeply polluted, so they shouldn't be like the mutant rabbits and cats before, losing their minds and only attacking when they get injured, right?

"Toad..." Xu Xin didn't know much about toads, that is, toads. He had only heard that toads had poor eyesight.

Wild toads will eat all kinds of flying insects, perhaps because of this, the mutated toads have such a strong ability to intercept flying crossbow arrows.

"Then what if it's a spear?" Xu Xin slowly put the sword back into the scabbard, took out his special sharp spear from his backpack, and pointed the point at the toad. The sharp spear in Xu Xin's hand was nearly three meters long, and it could completely stab the toad before its tongue approached him.

Although the spear cannot be swung in such a narrow gap, it is still possible to stab it straight.

"Ke Ke, stay on my shoulder." Xu Xin warned Ke Ke, who likes to jump around, in a low voice, and slowly approached the toad sideways.

"Hey." Ke Ke also responded in a low voice, even the big tail that always likes to swing stopped.

Wearing leather armor, Xu Xin basically didn't make a sound, but the blood-red and protruding eyes of the toad turned for a while, as if it had noticed Xu Xin's movements, and its fat body squeezed forward.

Seeing his movements, it seems that although the toad has poor eyesight, it has night vision. Generally, the eyesight of creatures living underground all year round will degrade, but this toad seems to be different. Xu Xin doesn't think its big red eyes are just for display.

"It's too inconvenient to move around in this place." Xu Xin complained secretly, then suddenly quickened her pace, and stabbed fiercely in the direction of the toad with the sharp gun in her hand!

The moment the blood-striped toad moved the sharp gun, it shot out the scarlet tongue from its mouth, and the tip of the tongue rolled directly towards the tip of the gun.

But Xu Xin's sharp spear was made of high-grade materials. According to his deduction, the blood-patterned rabbit was of a higher level than the mutated animals here, so the sharp spear was only slightly hindered, and it cut through the toad's tongue .

Because he still wanted the toad to lead the way, Xu Xin's gun tip was slightly deflected, and he stabbed hard on the right half of the toad's body, piercing half of the spear tip and then stopped.

"Quack!" The blood-striped toad let out an extremely ugly and hoarse toad cry, Xu Xin drew out his sharp gun and stabbed it in the body again.

Toad tried to stop him with his injured tongue, but it didn't work. The tongue seemed to be only effective against flying things, and at most it was a hindrance to Xu Xin's sharp spear.

When Xu Xin drew out his sharp spear and was about to pierce the third shot, the blood-striped toad flinched.

It let out another ugly cry, and quickly retracted into the corner.

Sure enough, he will still be afraid, and won't lose his mind at a glance like mutant rabbits and cats!

"Good opportunity, follow up!" Xu Xin put the sharp gun back into the backpack, drew out the iron sword, and chased after him.

The sharp gun is too long, and it will get stuck in the corner and cannot pass through.

Turning the corner, Xu Xin saw that huge toad was squeezing into the depth of the gap, and the bloody toad skin was rubbing against the uneven wall, Xu Xin felt a little uncomfortable for him.

Because of its size, the speed of the toad is not fast, but it is not slow either. Because the passage was narrow, Xu Xin had to walk lightly and quicken his pace, barely able to follow the toad at a distance of three or four meters.

This distance is relatively safe, after all, its tongue cannot be stretched so long.

Soon at the next fork, Xu Xin followed the blood-striped toad into one of the gaps. Of course, he didn't forget to carve a mark on the wall, in case the toad couldn't take him out.

The blood-striped toad also noticed that Xu Xin was following behind it, and sped up its speed.

"What are you doing walking so fast!" Xu Xin couldn't keep up.

"Hey!" Coco suddenly jumped off his shoulders, its small body can move flexibly in this gap. It rushed up, smacked the toad's back with a paw, and then retreated quickly.

The toad was caught by Ke Ke, and he turned his head to face the tongue that shot out of his mouth behind him. But at this time, Ke Ke had retreated several meters nimbly, and it didn't attack, but his body gave a pause, allowing Xu Xin, who was behind, to catch up.

"Beautiful job!" Xu Xin praised angrily.

"Hey!" Coco exclaimed triumphantly.

In this way, under Ke Ke's harassment, Xu Xin followed closely behind Toad. He would follow the path that Toad walked for. After walking for an unknown amount of time, gradually, the gap between his walks became wider. , it is no longer necessary to turn sideways from time to time to pass.

"Sure enough, my idea is correct, this toad can really lead me out of this underground labyrinth! Ke Ke, come back, don't continue to harass it."

Although the toad no longer squeezed the walls on both sides and moved faster, Xu Xin's speed was not bad after his body was liberated, and he was able to keep up with the toad's movement without Coco's help.

"Hey!" Ke Ke responded and climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder.

This road seems to be the last road. After walking for a long time, I never encountered a fork. Instead, the width of the passage became wider and wider, gradually becoming as wide as a corridor, and the height became higher and higher.

The surrounding uneven stone walls also became smoother, and Xu Xin seemed to have entered an artificially constructed passage.

He slowed down his pace and stopped chasing the fleeing toad in front of him, because he could already hear the faint sound of water flowing from the front.

The surroundings are so weird, maybe there is some mechanism, but we can't move forward so recklessly and quickly.

Walking forward with a tense spirit, the sound of water flow became more and more obvious.

"Huh?" Xu Xin narrowed her eyes, and there seemed to be something emitting a faint copper-colored light not far ahead.

Then walking forward, the front suddenly became wider, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and the source of the sound of water flow also appeared.

Sure enough, it was an underground underground river. The water flowing like a waterfall flowed out from a gap above the channel and fell into the river channel. This dark river is extremely clear, and there are various fish and shrimp swimming in it, as well as some underground life that Xu Xin can't name.

The injured blood-striped toad had long since disappeared. It's a shame the toad wasn't killed, but that's okay.

"For the sake of showing me the way, let me let you live."

Walking along the river, gradually approaching, Xu Xin saw clearly what was emitting a copper-colored light.

At the end of the walkable path, there is a huge gate made of copper.

The underground river leads farther from the left side of the door, but unless Xu Xin walks along the underground river, this is the end of his reach.

Standing in front of the gate, Xu Xin began to look at the copper gate in front of him.

The gate is about five meters high, the top of the gate is fan-shaped, and it is a double-opening gate. There is also a door knocker in front of the gate, which really looks like a dungeon gate.
