Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 764 - 482: Troll Invasion! (5100 words)_2

Although it was still approaching step by step, it no longer seemed as frenzied as before.

It even glanced back at the Hilly Resource Zone more than once. By the look of it, it seemed unwilling to stay away from the Hilly Resource Zone, feeling almost... anxious?

It was as if it was worried that something might happen to the Hilly Resource Zone during its absence.

However, it seemed that Qin Fu had provoked it more, so despite its frequent glances back, it continued to advance step by step in the direction where Qin Fu was fleeing, toward Xu Xin’s treehouse.

This hesitation gave Xu Xin plenty of time to prepare.

Finally, the call connected.

"Boss?" came Qin Fu’s breathless voice from the other end.

"What exactly did you do? Why did you lead that giant over here?" Xu Xin asked directly.

This guy was truly disregarding the lives of everyone here!

"I brought you something good! Absolutely good!" His voice was panting but very excited, "That giant is probably chasing this thing!"

Something good?

"Can we drive away this giant?" Qin Fu continued, "I know Ma Hongwei has completed the construction of a super crossbow and another powerful weapon. This thing is definitely worth the risk!"

On the mental map, Qin Fu’s red dot was still frantically moving toward the treehouse, now less than a thousand kilometers away from it.

"I only have about ten minutes left before my burst mode ends and I enter the weakness period! I must get this thing to you before that, so I drew this giant over; otherwise, not only would this thing be lost, but I’d be out too!"

"You actually entered burst mode." Xu Xin stared at the giant walking step by step a kilometer away and asked, "What did you discover?"

His burst mode could make vegetation within a kilometer around him become his eyes, making it easy to discover things.

"An ancient, bronze dagger! I’m not sure what it does; its description doesn’t reveal much. It only told me it is a dagger that can unlock the secrets of this world!"

"Unlock the world’s secret?" Xu Xin muttered, his expression growing serious.

How could a dagger unlock the world’s secrets?

"Exactly! Perhaps unlocking the secret of this dagger could allow us to return to our original world!"

His voice was slightly excited, completely different from his usual lazy, indifferent demeanor.

He really wanted to return to the original world.

"And, after I took this dagger, the altar collapsed and fell! If I hadn’t moved quickly, I might have been buried in it!"

The altar collapsed?

The altar he had stepped into several times during his jungle hunting activities collapsed?

Xu Xin had many questions for him, like where he found this thing, but given the current crisis, he said directly, "Run back at full speed! Come straight to my treehouse!"

"Got it!"

Outside the treehouse, the giant had already stepped into the one-kilometer range around the treehouse!

Blue skin, red blood veins,

"How come you’re just getting back?"

At that moment, Zeng Tao’s voice came from Lou Fei’Er’s treehouse.

Qin Fu was running at full speed and had already returned.

"Wait... that giant, was it brought back by you?" Zeng Tao pointed at the giant in the distance in disbelief.

"Get ready for battle!" Qin Fu didn’t explain anything, heading straight for the main treehouse at full speed.

"Hey, hey, was it really you?" Zeng Tao called after him.

Qin Fu ignored her and ran directly to Xu Xin’s treehouse, where Xu Xin pulled him up into the treehouse.

"The thing... for you!"

Qin Fu shoved the dagger into Xu Xin’s hand, opening his mouth to say something, but...

His legs gave way, and he suddenly collapsed, fainting on the ground.

"Yip!" Keke was startled, nearly getting hit, and jumped in place.

This guy made it back at the last seconds of his burst state!

Truly cutting it close!

Or perhaps he had already entered the weakness period earlier and made it here on sheer willpower, then fainted immediately.

"Silver King, take him to the side room."

Xu Xin instructed Silver King and began to examine the dagger in his hand.

[Ancient Bronze Dagger (Gold): A mysterious ancient dagger eroded by time. The blade of this dagger is very fragile and easily damaged; it’s best not to use it for attacks.

A dagger that can unlock the secrets of the world, it serves as a key to open a certain gate.]

A gold-level ancient dagger!

But it’s not a weapon, rather...

A key!

He gripped the ancient dagger tightly, fearing he might break it, and quickly loosened his grip.

A key to open some door!

What door?

He didn’t know, but Xu Xin felt he might have obtained a crucial item.

This was a gold-level dagger!

Perhaps, just as Qin Fu said, it could indeed lead them back to the original world!

"Yip...?" Keke tilted her little head, looking at the dagger in Xu Xin’s hand.

Xu Xin glanced out the window again.

The giant was stepping toward this direction, and its speed was increasing!

It was coming for this dagger!

Even at the cost of leaving the Hilly Resource Zone, which it never left, risking its fear that something might happen to the Hilly Resource Zone, it wanted to bring this dagger back!
