Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 827 - 503: Dream City! A Completely Unexpected Person! (Part 2)
"Alright, Brother Xin, you go ahead and take care of things first."
Ending the call, Xu Xin immediately dialed Li Wenxi’s voice message.
"Hey? Xu Xin!" Li Wenxi’s voice was once again full of surprise, "You can still reach me? Ma Hongwei said none of you are in that giant pit anymore!"
"Wenxi, is your watch still not working?"
"My watch? It’s not working; I can only use Fei’Er’s. What’s up?"
"Here’s the situation..." Xu Xin explained to her and then said, "Can you see if Lou Fei’Er’s watch can contact others?"
If it’s really the giant worms causing it, and since Xu Xin can reach others, Lou Fei’Er’s watch should be able to as well.
"Let me take a look!" Li Wenxi immediately checked and then said, "It can’t, still the same situation, and it seems like... I can’t even reach you? Eh? What’s going on? Your name is dim?"
Is it really the same again?
Right now, it seems he’s the only one who can reach the outside world?
What’s going on...?
Could it be...?
That underground, his watch signal isn’t affected?
It’s quite possible!
After all, the signal problems above ground started after the sweltering heat arrived.
But his current location is not affected by the scorching daytime sun, so it’s really possible it’s not influenced by external factors.
"Ah!" Lou Fei’Er thought of something and immediately said, "Xu Xin, our exploration rewards in the underground world! We can contact the outside world from underground! Although this isn’t the underground world, it’s still underground; is that why you can reach the outside world!"
"Exactly!" Xu Xin clapped his hand.
Although underground isn’t affected, typically these special corridors also block signals, but he can connect to the outside world, most likely because of this!
"I see, your rewards are really great!" Li Wenxi exclaimed.
"Alright, Wenxi, we need to continue moving, let’s speak later."
"Okay, you guys be careful."
While quickly descending the steps, Xu Xin began sending voice messages to Qin Fu, Zeng Tao, and others.
Zeng Tao was unreachable because her treehouse was previously nibbled away by worms, so contact was impossible no matter what.
To his great surprise, the call to Qin Fu went through!
"It actually connected!" Lou Fei’Er exclaimed in surprise.
The other side answered almost instantly.
However, Qin Fu’s voice was intermittent.
"Boss... you... come here... there is you..."
Whatever he wanted to say, Qin Fu’s side couldn’t be heard clearly.
"I can’t hear clearly, where are you now?" Xu Xin’s voice instinctively got louder.
"I... city... here... palace... you..."
The voice from the other side became even more intermittent.
"What’s happening, can’t hear anything." Lou Fei’Er frowned.
"... Boss... you..."
Before the sentence could be finished, the call was disconnected.
Xu Xin tried to call again but couldn’t establish communication.
"Where is he really?" Lou Fei’Er felt puzzled, "Why can others be contacted but not him. What did he just say... palace?"
Palace...
"... Let’s quicken our pace, we need to hurry."
They both sped up, even starting to run.
With Keke the danger detector ahead of them, they weren’t too worried about encountering issues.
Soon, they reached the bottom.
Another stone door.
The same style as the entrance, but this time, the stone door was engraved with some strange patterns. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Moreover, the patterns emitted a faint luminous white glow at the end of the dark corridor.
"Eek?" Keke tilted its small head in front of the door.
"Won’t there be any mechanism behind this door?" Lou Fei’Er immediately began to look around.
Xu Xin reached out and touched it.
Upon his touch, the entire door’s pattern suddenly lit up with a "buzz"!
The patterns on the corridor walls lit up near the door and extended to the corridor they walked through, illuminating the entire dark stairway corridor behind them within seconds!
"Eek!" Keke climbed onto Xu Xin’s shoulder, its eyes widened as it looked back at the corridor.
"What’s happening? This..." Lou Fei’Er was also shocked, "Why does it light up now, after we’ve walked through?"
Xu Xin merely glanced back before looking ahead at the door.
The door was slowly opening.
...
Meanwhile, inside the stone house.
"What what what... what’s happening!" Zeng Tao jumped in place, jumped so hard that her head bumped into the low ceiling of the stone house with a "thud," but she didn’t care, merely holding her head, looking around in shock, "Why suddenly...!"
Jin Yue also looked around with a serious expression.
The room was only about twenty square meters, very small. At this moment, cracking sounds began to appear on the walls, stone fragments fell off the walls, and mysterious patterns began to emerge.
The patterns even slowly illuminated a glowing white light, getting brighter and brighter!
"This this... shouldn’t we head out?" Zeng Tao’s hand was already on the door, ready to push it open and leave once anything happened!
"The worms outside haven’t retreated yet, better not go out." Jin Yue strode over to the wall in a few steps, closely inspecting the patterns on the wall, "The light emitted by these lines is glowing white, same as the treehouse core color, shouldn’t be dangerous... it’s...!"
