CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 258: PURPLE-LEVEL MATERIALS, CONTINUING TO SET COORDINATES (4400 WORDS!)_2

Zhao Xiaochuan: "To the west, right?"

Qin Yunlong: "My tree house is just to the west of the hills! Can you see the nearby three-story tree house?"

Zhao Xiaochuan: "There is indeed a tree house not far away, but it’s so dark now, I can’t see clearly, and I don’t know if it’s three stories... Oh my God, the tree house over there just exploded!"

Qin Yunlong: "That was me triggering the explosion bolts! Haha, it turns out we’re really close to each other!"

Zhao Xiaochuan: "You made it back to your tree house?! I’m coming over right now, haha, finally found our team, oh yeah!"

Wang Lei: "I’ve said the word ’envious’ too many times that I’m tired of it..."

Zhao Xiaochuan: "No rush, you shouldn’t be far from me, we might meet tomorrow!"

It seems they could almost pinpoint each other’s positions over there, which would make it much easier for him to get over there later.

Though he still doesn’t know how to make his way over there now; by calculating based on numbers and distance, it seems to be quite far.

Xu Xin: "I’m heading out now, first to Ji Chaoyang’s place, then to Sister Xuefei’s, and we’ll set up the coordinates tonight to link us all together."

Ji Chaoyang: "Alright."

Qi Xuefei: "Understood."

Even though it was already night time, it wasn’t late yet, not even seven in the evening.

Xu Xin, accompanied by Silver King and the adamant Keke, immediately headed out towards Ji Chaoyang’s tree house.

The barren jungle at night seemed even more desolate compared to the sunny days.

In this cold night, the entire jungle was devoid of any bird calls or insect sounds, eerily quiet.

All the way, he could only hear the sound of Silver King stepping on dead leaves, and the wind whistling by his ears.

Xu Xin did not take out the energy core fragment.

Carrying that thing at night was like being a glowing target. Although the beasts in the jungle hadn’t returned yet, he felt lighting up the surroundings like a bulb wasn’t ideal.

Something might be attracted to him.

Neither he nor Silver King needed lighting or warmth, so they decided not to take it out for the time being.

"Hmm..." Keke nestled in Xu Xin’s arms, looked up at the sky, occasionally letting out a soft murmur.

It had been looking up all the way.

Xu Xin also looked up.

"Huh... it’s a new moon again?"

Tonight was another moonless night.

Xu Xin’s brow slightly furrowed.

A moonless night...

During the previous two moonless nights, they were anything but peaceful.

The first moonless night was the night of the jungle exploration activity. After nightfall, he encountered the monsters guarding the golden treasure chest, that giant Cannibal Flower suddenly sprang out from the underground.

The second moonless night was the day the red mist enveloped the entire Hilly Resource Zone. That day, the surroundings of the Hilly Resource Zone became a dangerous area, and the mysterious passage under the altar was also opened.

Xu Xin looked towards the direction of the Hilly Resource Zone. Fortunately, no unusual occurrences this time.

...Better to be cautious.

"Keke, is there something in the sky?" Seeing Keke still staring blankly at the sky, Xu Xin gently asked.

"Hmm..." Keke tilted its head, then buried it back in Xu Xin’s arms without saying anything.

Xu Xin patted its small head and continued heading towards Ji Chaoyang’s tree house.

Along the way, he passed by Lou Fei’Er’s tree house and glanced at it casually.

The tree house was still in its original state, with the bristling weaponry filled with crossbow bolts embedded in the crown, chilling in the starlight, compelling people to instinctively keep a distance.

This tree house was relatively safe; the bolts covering the house could intimidate others.

Quickly, Xu Xin approached Ji Chaoyang’s tree house.

Emerging from the bushes, he saw the full view of Ji Chaoyang’s tree house.

Like his tree house, it was a purple-grade tree house, and the surroundings had been cleared, leaving an area approximately a hundred meters in radius.

Continuing to look westward, a row of interlinked hills came into view.

This row of hills was less than twenty meters high on average, shorter than their tree houses but continuous for several hundred meters, thus clearly visible.

...This must be an arm of the giants.

Exploring now would be too reckless, and with winter approaching, it’s better to enhance the team’s abilities before venturing out.

Not sure what other abilities the energy core might offer beyond dispersing cold.

Besides the purple-grade main tree house, there were also two green-grade parasitic tree houses, one of which was just a dozen meters away.

Just as he was about to ride Silver King closer to the main four-story tree house, Ji Chaoyang’s voice suddenly came from a nearby parasitic tree house.

"Here!"

Xu Xin turned to see Ji Chaoyang swing down from the tree house’s roots.

"Why are you in the parasitic tree house?" Xu Xin was startled by Ji Chaoyang, secretly thinking he’d been careless. If it were an enemy suddenly attacking him, he’d be in trouble.

"I’m researching the functions of the parasitic tree house." Ji Chaoyang landed on the ground and placed the coordinates beside the parasitic tree house, "Right here is good. In the future, someone can be assigned to protect the Teleportation Array near the parasitic tree house."

That’s a pretty good idea, though both he and Ji Chaoyang have Plant Hearts, they won’t automatically attack survivors. Lou Fei’Er was an example back then.

Though she eventually turned into a mutated creature, becoming an enemy, since Xu Xin’s parasitic tree house was planted at the very edge of the hundred-meter radius, she jumped direct from the tree house window to the area outside the Plant Heart’s field, thus no attack was triggered.
