MTL - Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 510 The owner here is... (5500 words)
I just stayed... for three minutes? Xu Xin hesitated for a moment and asked.
"What's just!" Zeng Tao couldn't help but said, "Three minutes is scary, okay! You just stood there and didn't respond to your movements. We're going to be scared to death!"
"Hmm..." The hair ball in his arms moved, Xu Xin looked down, but Ke Ke was still asleep in her arms.
The little guy slept peacefully.
"So, you guys, after coming up, did you feel nothing at all?" Xu Xin looked at the people around and asked again.
The women looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"No, it feels the same as being down here." Lou Feier said.
"Me too." Jin Yue nodded.
"So, did you... see something?" Shi Wanyun moved her eyes, understood Xu Xin's meaning, and asked, "Are you hallucinating?"
"Illusion..." Xu Xin muttered to himself.
What he experienced just now cannot be hallucinations.
but…
Based on the time, he should have been there for a full two hours.
But here, he just stood there for three minutes.
This really made him a little strange.
Could it be that the flow of time in the two worlds is different?
That's not right...
If calculated by the ratio of this time flow rate, three minutes to two hours, the ratio of one to forty.
With such a time flow ratio, he has spent such a long time in this world, then several years should have passed on Earth!
Yingying is probably about to graduate from college!
But the fact is, based on the length of time he has been in this world, the time flow rate on both sides should be about the same.
Huh?
Just now, he forgot to ask Yingying how long it had been since he disappeared.
However, it shouldn't be too bad. It's not time for him to start school, and it hasn't been long.
And there is an obvious contradiction between the two.
This is how the same thing?
Xu Xin frowned.
"What are you thinking again!" Zeng Tao waved his little hand in front of his eyes again, interrupting his thinking, "Let's go quickly, you were unconscious just now, we are really advancing or retreating."
"Ah, good." Xu Xin recovered and nodded.
He doesn't plan to tell a few people about his situation just now, and the situation is not stable now, at least he has to wait until he returns.
Moreover, he doesn't trust Shi Wanyun behind him very much for the time being.
Only then did he begin to observe the surroundings on the second floor of the Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace on the second floor has many more things than the first floor.
The palace obviously has a lot more decorations.
There are some vague murals hanging on the wall, beside the wall is a cabinet that looks extremely gorgeous at first glance, and there are several large floor-to-ceiling windows that are open, and outside is an open-air platform.
There are tables and chairs on the platform, and on the table, there are... are those teacups and wine glasses?
However, these objects are all made of crystals that exude white light.
"...There should be no danger at this level." Xu Xin said with some hesitation based on his own feeling.
"No danger? Really?" Lou Feier looked around.
"Well... I'd better follow behind you." Zeng Tao was a little timid.
After experiencing the powerful traps on the first floor, she no longer dared to act on her own.
That thing can't be avoided at all!
I'm afraid resurrection is useless, it will be turned into ashes directly!
"Well, this is just my own feeling. However, just to be on the safe side, you should follow behind me."
With that said, Xu Xin walked straight forward.
A few girls follow immediately
Behind him, go.
Behind her, Shi Wanyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Xu Xin, her eyes moved.
...According to her source of information, Xu Xin just now... Could it be that he saw their original world?
Did he see it?
They said that if he could see their original world, the earth, in this palace, they would let her kill him.
but…
If he can really see the earth, is it possible to take all of them back?
Or... let's observe for a while.
Come as planned.
Lurk by his side first.
Even if those things were blamed, she could still say that she was lurking by his side, waiting for the opportunity to strike but hadn't found the opportunity yet.
No delay on either side.
…
Xu Xin calmed down and walked in the palace.
The conversation with his sister just now put him in a good mood and relaxed, and he didn't feel that there was any danger in this place, so there was always a faint smile on his face.
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing his expression, Lou Feier asked a little strangely, "You didn't really see anything nice in those three minutes just now, did you?"
"...It's more complicated. I'll explain it to you when I get back." Xu Xin laughed.
Behind her, Shi Wanyun's eyes moved.
It should be exactly what she guessed just now. she thought.
"What what?" Zeng Tao leaned closer, "What are you talking about?"
She saw that Xu Xin was walking casually now, and gradually she was no longer afraid: "What beautiful things? Are you talking about those things around? Let's take them away, I think they should be good things!"
"Those things?" Xu Xin walked towards the stairs on the third floor, and at the same time glanced at the surrounding crystal paintings, closets, tables and chairs, and chandeliers, and shook her head: "You can't take them with you."
"Ah? Why?" Zeng Tao wondered.
"Those things are all fixed on it," Xu Xin said, "They are all integrated with this castle."
He felt so, and believed in his own feelings.
It is also a sense of sight.
He always felt like he had been here before.
Everything here feels very familiar to him.
Very familiar.
"One piece? Impossible?" Zeng Tao couldn't believe it. She wanted to run over to have a look, but she didn't dare, so she grabbed Xu Xin's arm, "Don't run directly to the third floor, let's go and have a look. Maybe you feel wrong!"
"Let me go and have a look." Jin Yue kicked her feet and jumped over with a light leap.
She still believed what Xu Xin said.
Xu Xin said that there is no danger here, so for her, this place is not dangerous.
Moreover, after experiencing those things, she herself is not afraid of death, if she dies... then she will die.
Fortunately, although she jumped almost half of the second floor, she didn't trigger any traps, and the few people who were shocked when they saw her action were slightly relieved.
"How is it? Can you pick it up?" Lou Feier yelled over there.
"No." Jin Yue shook her head, "These things are all grown on it, and they are indeed integrated with the castle."
"Huh? Are the tables and chairs too?"
"right."
The situation was as expected by Xu Xin, he smiled and said, "I'll just say it, so let's give up, our current ability can't be destroyed even by such thin crystal chair legs."
"Okay..." Zeng Tao had no choice but to give up, and said a little frustrated, "What, this Crystal Palace is so gorgeous, why is there nothing here! Isn't this someone's underground tomb? Why are there no treasures at all!"
"Underground tomb?" Xu Xin, Lou Fei'er and Shi Wanyun all turned to look at her.
"You said this is the catacombs?" Lou Feier frowned and asked.
"Ah... ah?" Zeng Tao was a little dazed when she saw that several people turned their heads to look at her, "I just... just said casually, ah, this hypothesis was put forward by Jin Yue, and I don't know much about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Understood, you can ask her."
Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
Xu Xin had a feeling that her head seemed to have caught something, but she didn't catch it at all.
"It's what I said." Jin Yue has already returned to several people, and nodded, "We have not seen any traces of using this city along the way, and this layout is like restoring a prosperous capital city Generally, it is somewhat similar to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.”
This hypothesis is somewhat interesting.
and…
"Hey..." Lou Fei'er nudged Xu Xin with her elbow, and whispered, "Do you still remember the statue at the entrance? If this is a tomb, it wouldn't be your tomb, right?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing: "You haven't died yet, someone has built a mausoleum for you."
Xu Xin couldn't laugh.
Lou Feier said it as a joke. After all, this kind of thing is too unbelievable to believe.
After all, in this world, how could someone build such a large mausoleum for an alien survivor who hadn't died yet.
But Xu Xin didn't think so.
There is definitely a very close connection with him here.
Otherwise, there would be no statue of him on it.
Nor would he have a déjà vu feeling that was almost as strong as a memory after he entered the palace, knowing where all the traps were.
Nor would he be the only one who returned to his original world in a special state when he stepped into this level.
Thinking of the previous situations.
The friendly attitude and help of the giant creek crocodile that I haven't seen for a long time.
The giant anaconda in the middle of the lake who is obviously hostile to him but doesn't attack him at all.
After entering the underground world, the giant black beetle that helped him.
Gave him a tree house core, which awakened him to the python with mind-reading ability.
And the giant beast that was kept under the prison, but somehow seemed to know him.
and also…
He glanced at Coco who was still sleeping in his arms.
This little guy is just as mysterious.
In short, he felt that there had always been a mysterious force in this world that knew him and was helping him.
He hadn't considered this matter much before, after all, from his point of view, it was impossible for him to have any strange relationship with this world.
He was just an ordinary earthling before?
But...after this incident, he was really shaken.
Everything here seems to show him that he is inextricably linked with this world.
Especially after returning to Earth and learning about the situation there, he felt something was wrong.
…Is his memory, like the people on Earth, having some problems?
Did he... really lose a piece of memory?
Xu Xin shook her head slightly.
"Don't talk about that for now. There's nothing to see on the second floor. Let's go to the third floor." Xu Xin quickened his pace.
"Okay!" Zeng Tao immediately became excited and followed Xu Xin, "There must be something good on the third floor!"
The second floor was just like what Xu Xin said, there was no danger at all, and the few people came to the stairs on the second floor very easily.
"It's really not dangerous." Lou Fei'er couldn't help but glance at Xu Xin, "You're right, it won't be true here..."
"Then go up quickly!" Zeng Tao said and was about to run up.
"Stop!" Xu Xin grabbed her directly.
Although he couldn't pull it with his strength, Zeng Tao still stopped, turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"...There is something wrong with this ladder, isn't it?" Shi Wanyun asked softly behind her.
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, and then gave Zeng Tao a headache, "If I hadn't held you back, you would be dead by now. You followed me cautiously for so long just now, and it turned out to be dangerous Time to give me a problem, right?"
"Hmm..." Zeng Tao covered her forehead, then hid behind Xu Xin, muttering, "I didn't know there would be problems with the stairs...the first floor is fine."
"Really? Is there a problem with the ladder?" Lou Feier was surprised, "It's the opposite of the first floor!"
"...I'm afraid it's just taking advantage of people's psychology." Jin Yue said.
Xu Xin nodded.
The person who designed this palace trap did have ideas.
This kind of large-scale palace trap is basically impossible for a person to pass through alone. Once stepping on the trap, it will be wiped out in ashes.
Of course, there will also be people who are stronger and try to get out of the trap, or take advantage of the large number of people in the team to explore with their lives and send people to the second floor.
But on the second floor, there are no traps.
Of course, the people who came to the second floor didn’t believe it. They must have walked very carefully all the way towards the stairs leading to the third floor. Looking at the entrance of the stairs, they gradually became excited as they approached.
And what will they do when they arrive at the entrance of the staircase with trepidation all the way?
Of course, I want to leave the second floor that I finally passed and go to the third floor!
Then you will be recruited.
There is no problem with the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, but the stairs from the second floor to the third floor are indeed a big trap!
"Can't you step on it?" Shi Wanyun asked, "Then how do we go up? Or...return the same way?"
As far as she was concerned, she still wanted Xu Xin to go back as soon as she had already decided on some things, so as not to take any more risks.
"How could it be possible to go back the same way? We're already here!" Zeng Tao poked her head from behind Xu Xin and looked up at the entrance on the third floor, "Xu Xin must know how to go up, we just follow him."
"…Come with me."
Xu Xin didn't go up the stairs, but walked around the stairs and came to the side of the stairs.
The ladder is a solid step, and the bottom is directly blocked. From the side, it is a half wall.
Xu Xin reached out to touch it, and then pressed hard.
"Crack..."
He slowly pushed in a wall about the size of a palm, and then, a door-shaped gap appeared on the side half of the wall, and a small door that allowed one person to pass slowly opened inward.
"There...is there a mechanism here?" The people behind were very surprised.
"Who would have thought of this..." Zeng Tao muttered, "This place doesn't want people to enter it at all?"
"...This can't really be a mausoleum, right? Only a mausoleum refuses entry to outsiders like this..." Lou Fei'er also said to herself.
Xu Xin immediately stepped into it.
Below the ladder, is another ladder going up.
Because the crystal material itself emits light, the inside of the stairs is not dark.
Looking up the stairs, you can see a crystal door.
"So this is the real staircase!"
"Okay, let's go."
Several people immediately walked up the stairs and came to the door.
Xu Xin immediately pushed.
The door was pushed open very easily.
The scene on the third floor also appeared in front of several people.
The area of the third floor is smaller than the two floors below, after all, it is an ancient palace-style building.
But the ceiling is higher than the first two floors, about ten meters high, which is very high, equivalent to the height of a three-story building on the earth.
And this third floor is finally no longer as empty as the first two floors.
"Ah, what a big door!" Zeng Tao exclaimed.
A huge dome door stood directly in the center of the entire third floor.
The top of the door, which directly reaches the ceiling of this floor, is also ten meters high, and the entire door is very large.
But what surprised a few people is that this is just a door.
That's right, there are no walls on the left and right sides of the door, it's just a lonely door.
And the entire third floor, apart from this door, there is nothing else.
"It can't be that there is a passage at the back..." Lou Fei'er wanted to go around to see what was behind the door, because several people were facing the door now, and the back was completely blocked.
She glanced at Xu Xin.
"...This floor is not dangerous." Xu Xin said, and then stepped forward by herself while observing the gate.
The position in the door has a slightly concave circle the size of a plate. Unlike other positions, this circle is made of metal, which is very special at first glance.
And there is a vertical gap in the circle.
Could it be the keyhole that opens the door?
and many more…
Big keyhole?
At this time, Lou Fei'er went around the door, and while observing the situation behind the door, she said in confusion: "There is nothing behind, this is a standing door... eh?! There is someone behind the door!"
She tensed up all over in an instant, wiped her waist with her hands, and pulled out two daggers at the speed of light!
someone? !
The rest of the people also immediately became alert, took out their weapons and walked around the gate to look.
A person is sitting on the ground with his back against the door, his head bowed, his face is invisible, his legs are stretched forward, and his hands are drooping on the ground, it seems to be...
In a coma, or dead?
wait, this isn't...
"Ah!" Zeng Tao exclaimed suddenly, "Isn't this... Isn't this Qin Fu! This guy actually came in earlier than us!"
"Ah? Qin Fu?" Lou Fei'er was stunned.
Jin Yue was also taken aback.
Shi Wanyun was at a loss, she didn't know who Qin Fu was.
Xu Xin has already approached quickly to check his situation.
Several girls also gathered around.
"Is he dead?" Shi Wanyun asked softly.
"No, he's not dead. He's even in good condition, probably just unconscious." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
His vital signs are normal, and there are no injuries on his body, and even his clothes don't have any damage or scratches.
He seemed to come up... easily?
But why are you in a coma?
"That's good...wait a minute!" Zeng Tao pointed at Qin Fu and said in surprise, "Why did this guy come up alive? I thought he died in the trap outside..."
"We'll know when he wakes up."
but…
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked up at the door.
Huge door.
Large keyhole, requires a large key.
And he, coincidentally, happened to have a huge key that was used to open it.
This key was brought back to him by the comatose Qin Fu in front of him, for which he almost killed a blood-striped troll.
Ancient Bronze Knife!
Moreover, the ancient bronze knife was brought back from the altar in the hilly resource area!
As for the location here, he had seen it before.
Directly below the Hills Resource Area!
A map appeared in his mind, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com suddenly realized that this place is no longer just directly below the hilly resource area, but...
Right below the location of the altar!
Can't go wrong!
The key obtained from the altar is probably used to open this place!
and many more…
That altar should be used to worship the gods, right?
...?
Used to... worship the owner of this palace?
And the owner here always feels that it should be...
His head immediately became a mess.
...The altar was originally used to worship him, right? !
