Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 783 - 488 Enhancing Strength (4600 Words)_3
For example, encountering a situation like Shi Wanyun’s requires having strong abilities on your own.
The treehouse is a home, the crossbow is a means to protect the home, but... people can’t always stay at home.
"I’d rather stay in the treehouse all the time," Ma Hongwei scratched his head.
Although his personality greatly changed after the giant python incident, one thing remained the same: his cautiousness, which was almost like timidity.
His creed was to avoid doing unnecessary things.
"This world won’t let you comfortably stay in the treehouse," Xu Xin said dismissively.
Just like Shi Wanyun, didn’t she also encounter danger right by her own treehouse?
At this moment, Lou Fei’Er spoke up, "Personally, I think the Red Mist is just a temporary strength enhancement, more like a stimulant; while in the Red Mist, power indeed increases, but it doesn’t mean one’s own strength gets stronger."
Xu Xin nodded.
It’s similar to athletes taking drugs.
"Since the Red Mist basically can’t enhance your vision, starting today, you all have to eat this meat at each meal to enhance your own strength," Xu Xin pointed to the giant meat on the table, "Can you do it?"
"There’s nothing hard about it," Zeng Tao stared at the piece of meat, her throat moved, eyes gleaming, "I’ll eat until you’re broke!"
Seeing her expression like she was about to grab the raw meat and chew on it, Xu Xin quickly picked up the meat from the table and tossed it to Silver King and Mimi.
The two beasts immediately bit into the sides of the meat and tore it apart, the meat was split into two portions and entered their stomachs. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Ah!" Zeng Tao shouted, "Why... why give it to them...!"
"Relax, Xiaotaozi, there’s plenty of this meat," Lou Fei’Er laughed on the side, "Just think about how big that giant was, only the head couldn’t be found."
"...Hiss!" Thinking like that, Zeng Tao’s eyes gleamed again, "So that means..."
"Eat to your heart’s content; whatever amount you want to eat, I can provide as much," Xu Xin said.
His words made everyone present brighten their eyes.
Xu Xin first gave everyone dozens of kilos of meat.
"Quickly upgrade to intermediate mutation level; once you reach intermediate, I have better ways for upgrading."
Then, he took out the purple-grade potion from the gold-grade reagent bottle and gave a simple introduction.
Instantly, everyone around looked at the reagent with hot eyes.
Lou Fei’Er even stared directly at Xu Xin, the meaning was simple: I’ve already reached intermediate, so can I have it!
Xu Xin promptly gave Lou Fei’Er two bottles of reagent.
Back in the underground world, Lou Fei’Er had taken this reagent through her bracelet, but only one bottle.
"When you upgrade to intermediate, you can take this reagent to boost your strength."
"Then I want to eat meat right now!" Zeng Tao couldn’t wait any longer, "I want to eat meat to enhance strength!"
"Then come to my place, Xiaotaozi," Lou Fei’Er contentedly stored the reagent and sat beside Zeng Tao, "Let’s go back to the treehouse."
"...What do you want!" Zeng Tao looked wary.
Right now, she had no powers and could only be at others’ mercy.
"Alright, you can go back now."
Everyone was sent out of the treehouse by Xu Xin.
Zeng Tao originally wanted to stay in Xu Xin’s treehouse, but without strength now, she could only be dragged away by Lou Fei’Er.
"It’s quite nice that they have various food and potions to boost their strength," Li Wenxi sighed, "while our own strength seems to have stagnated."
"Isn’t my alchemy potion always helping you boost your strength?" Xu Xin tapped her forehead.
"Seems like it!"
Xu Xin glanced out the window; the stuffy night had not a breath of wind.
This ghostly world didn’t even want to give them a refreshing breeze.
Li Wenxi, who had been busy all day, continued to rest, while Xu Xin gathered a few people to continue decomposing the remaining giant’s corpse on the first floor of the treehouse.
Time passed quickly.
After several hours of work, another leg and half a body of the giant were decomposed, and it was bedtime.
So Xu Xin went to the third floor to wash up, carrying the drowsy Li Wenxi from the sofa into the bedroom.
The two lay on the bed, feeling cozy.
Keke had already dozed off at the bedside without them noticing.
Since someone else was sleeping next door, it would be better to be good tonight.
"Tonight, there shouldn’t be any more incidents, right?" Li Wenxi’s eyelids twitched, she whispered.
"There shouldn’t be..."
Both of them were very tired today and quickly drifted off to sleep.
...
Early the next morning, Xu Xin was awakened by tremors.
His watch was vibrating.
When he raised his hand, it was a voice message from Ji Chaoyang, so he answered it.
It’s only five o’clock...
"Hey..." Xu Xin replied weakly, "What’s up, so early..."
"Xu Xin, we’ve lost contact with the outside world again."
...What?
