Xu Xin did not step out of the safe area rashly. He took out the energy core fragments from his backpack.

Although it is daytime, the sky is not that bright. Countless white and thick clouds accumulate in the low sky. The shadows of the clouds cover the entire jungle, making the already bleak jungle even more melancholy.

But the moment the energy core fragment was taken out, the surrounding area was illuminated by a bright white light. At the same time, the temperature that was originally only five or six degrees began to rise rapidly, reaching over 20 degrees.

Xu Xin held the energy core fragment in hand and planned to step into this area to test it out.

"Huh?" Coco looked at the glowing core, then at the dangerous area, and tilted her little head in confusion.

"You guys, don't move here. I'll go in and take a look."

Xu Xin turned over and moved towards the dangerous area.

Coco did not stop him, indicating that perhaps there was really no danger.

Xu Xin focused on the map and stepped into the dangerous area.

The moment he stepped in, red dots suddenly lit up from under his feet!

Is it dangerous?!

He immediately jumped back and jumped back to the safe area.

The ground cracked slightly during the vibration, but Xu Xin was a little surprised that the mutated monster underground did not emerge from the crack. On the map, the red light spot quickly faded away, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Mimi jumped from behind when the red dot became brightest, swung her claws forward in advance, trying to attack the vines that were about to emerge, but her swing missed.

Falling to the ground, it let out a confused cry.

Just like last time, before these underground mutated creatures came out, they noticed the light of the energy core fragments on the ground and shrank back.

However, this time it actually caused cracks in the ground.

The last time he rode the Silver King through that area, there was nothing unusual on the ground, but red dots undulating like waves could be seen on the map.

But it's normal to think about it. This is a dangerous area after all. Although it is a deterrent protected area over there, it can still be regarded as a protected area.

Although those mutated creatures could not emerge from the ground under the light of the energy core fragments, Xu Xin did not intend to go deep into them.

According to his guess, the closer he gets to the culprit, the stronger the mutated underground creatures will become. Now they can crack the ground. If they move forward, they may be able to get out and attack him.

Let's stay here. First prepare for the coming cold winter and the tide of beasts tomorrow.

He put away the energy core fragments.

With this thing in hand, those underground creatures will not dare to come out, so there is no way to kill them.

Xu Xin thought about it for a moment. Maybe he could let Mimi go in and run around to attract all the mutated vines, and then he would directly take out the energy core and kill them all collectively.

But then he gave up again.

In the lake in the cave, Xu Xin experienced the pleasure of killing blood-striped piranhas with this core, but that was because those piranhas went deep into the lake and the exit was relatively narrow, so when Xu Xin took out the core, those piranhas

They were crowded at the exit and couldn't escape quickly, so in the end most of them were left behind.

The bright white light of this energy core fragment will take at least five to ten seconds to kill a mutated creature.

Such a long time is enough for the mutated vines to retract below the ground.

Moreover, the most important point is that he cannot gain points by killing mutated creatures with energy core fragments!

This is not possible. This time, he wants the mutant vine juice and points. He can't miss any of them.

"Mimi, run tens of meters along the edge of the protected area." Xu Xin gave Mimi the instruction.

Mimi immediately ran out, stepped outside the edge of the protected area, and then started running along the edge of the protected area.

On the map, red dots suddenly lit up, the ground cracked, and thick blood-striped vines suddenly emerged from the ground!

Mimi's speed is not fast, or in other words, compared to its own fastest speed, its current speed is like walking, as if playing with these vines that have just emerged from the ground.

Every vine was close to stabbing Mimi, but after Mimi turned around and returned to Xu Xin, not even a hair was shaved off, and she even grabbed one to death before leaving.

vine.

[Kill the blood-thorn vines and gain points: 50 points.]

Well, yes, there are indeed enhanced vines around here.

Xu Xin looked at the vines that were swinging back and forth on the edge of the protected area but did not enter the protected area to attack, and took out his halberd.

The vines here will not actively enter the protected area to attack. The last vines that actively entered the protected area to attack were at the very edge of Li Yajun's protected area. The vines there were stronger than here and the points were higher than here.

Moreover, the Silver King will also be affected and his blood lines will light up over there, but not here.

According to his inference, that place should be closer to the culprit that caused all this.

However, you need to be careful here, because last time, the vines here also entered the protected area and attacked once, but suddenly the blood lines lit up, protecting it and then retreated.

At this time, at the edge of the protected area, a row of vines was swaying in the wind. The dark green vines were dotted with blood lines or blood thorns, which looked very strange and terrifying in the bleak and dark surroundings.

Xu Xin immediately aimed at the roots of the vines and waved his halberd.

"Kakakaka!"

The side blade of the halberd effortlessly cut off the roots of four vines in succession.

The four stiff vines stopped swinging and fell down stiffly.

Xu Xin turned slightly to avoid a vine that hit him. The vine fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.

[Kill the blood-striped vines*2, blood-thorn vines*2, and gain points: 160 points.]

Each blood-striped vine has thirty points, which is slightly less than the blood-striped vine.

The vitality coming from the halberd handle raised Xu Xin's overall condition to the best, and even gave him a feeling of being enhanced. He did not stop, and waved the halberd towards the row of mutated vines while running.

"Ka! Ka! Ka!"

He directly cut off the roots of several more mutated vines, and their thick vine bodies hit the ground heavily.

"Hey!" Coco stood on the head of Silver King, waving her little paws to cheer Xu Xin.

The remaining mutated vines no longer sit still and wait for death. Some of them are quickly retracting below the ground, while the rest are directly attacking Xu Xin in the protected area!

Sure enough, the vines here can still attack the inside of the protected area! They just won't attack actively!

"Mimi!" Xu Xin ducked sideways to avoid being whipped by a blood-thorned vine. She raised the halberd in her hand and cut it into two pieces.

Mimi immediately pounced forward, her claws already stretched out.

Two cold rays of light flashed through, and two blood-striped vines were immediately clawed into several pieces by Mimi's sharp claws.

Suddenly, the vines closest to Xu Xin paused for a moment, and their bodies immediately glowed with blood, and then they all attacked Xu Xin!

Stabs, whips, and even a vine to tie his feet to pull him into a dangerous area!

Xu Xin was caught off guard. He swung his halberd and cut off the thickest blood-thorn vine that was thrown towards him. However, his foot was already pulled, and he was about to be pulled directly into the dangerous area!

At this time, Ah Fu's scream sounded, causing all the vines to freeze.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Xin immediately cut off the blood-striped vines tied to his feet. Silver King also rushed forward and bit one. At the same time, Mimi, who was hiding and playing with the vines, also discovered Xu Xin's Danger broke out in an instant and rushed over.

A few rays of cold light flashed through, and all five vines surrounding Xu Xin lost their lives. They fell to the ground and twitched slightly, then slowly returned to calm.

Xu Xin and his contracted beasts joined forces and quickly sent the remaining vines directly to the west.

"Hey!" Keke had been hiding behind, and when he saw that they had completely cleared away the vines, he ran up, jumped into Xu Xin's arms, and looked at him worriedly, "Hey..."

"What happened just now?" Xu Xin touched Coco's little head and said to herself with some uncertainty.

The attack method of those vines just now was completely different from the vine groups he had experienced before!

Whether it was in the red mist near the salt mine or in the battle to defend the tree house, the attack methods of the vines were chaotic and unsystematic.

That's why Xu Xin was able to rush out of the vines during the defensive battle.

If they organize their attacks in a disciplined manner, their chances of breaking out of the vines are basically close to zero.

The gap in combat effectiveness between a miscellaneous army and a real army is huge.

And those five vines just now can actually cooperate with each other!

One blood-thorn vine came to wrap around his ankle, and the other two stabbed at him from the upper left front and lower right front, while the two blood-thorn vines were thrown directly into the protected area, swinging towards him from the left and right!

The direction in which he was hiding was almost blocked. Even if he retreated, he would be directly pierced by the oncoming blood-thorn vines!

How could this... come into being suddenly?

Could it be that the vines here are controlled by something?

Could it be that the thing that controls them and makes their attacks structured is the culprit that makes them stronger?

Somehow, Xu Xin thought of what Ji Chaoyang told him about the mutated human beings holding tools in the prophecy.

Will those guys be able to control the actions of mutated creatures?

If this is the case, then the attack power of this beast wave will probably be raised to another level.

This crisis is really difficult for ordinary survivors to survive.

Xu Xin is not worried about being swallowed up by the beast tide in the snow. After all, he has a plant heart, a control panel with explosive crossbow bolts, and an energy core fragment that can kill mutated creatures, which is enough to withstand the beast tide.

What he was most worried about was the giant anaconda in the lake and other giant beasts that might attack.

Shaking her head, Xu Xin took out the energy core fragment, and the surrounding area was instantly illuminated and warmed.
