Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 836 - 506: Déjà Vu and Illusions

Just as Zeng Tao turned around, Xu Xin immediately noticed that there were two not-so-shallow scratches on the back of her purple-grade steel armor!

The purple-grade steel armor was easily scratched by these arrows!

If it had hit directly...

It would probably have been fatal on the spot!

Zeng Tao saw the two arrows deeply embedded in the ground and felt a chill of fear, her legs almost going weak.

Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Hey, hey... isn’t this power a bit too much..."

"Good thing, good thing, no one got hurt," Lou Fei’Er observed briefly, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Yue looked solemnly at the two arrows on the ground.

Xu Xin looked up at the ceiling.

The palace had a very high ceiling, at least six or seven meters, but above was just a smooth crystal ceiling surface.

Although the crystal ceiling had a slight transparency, it seemed very thick, so you could only see a few centimeters through the surface; deeper into it was completely invisible.

"The power of this arrow..." Jin Yue reached out to pull it, but also looked up at the ceiling and did not act rashly.

No one knew if new arrows would shoot out from the front.

"The power is indeed great," Xu Xin nodded.

"Not just great!" Zeng Tao jumped up immediately, took several steps back, looking terrified, "It’s too great! Do you even know how hard the crystal house here is?"

Hard?

"Yes," Jin Yue nodded, "Previously, when the stone layer of these buildings fell off and revealed the crystal-like surface, Zeng Tao used her purple-grade steel giant blade to chop at it, but... it was completely unscathed."

What...?

Xu Xin was shocked.

This was something he hadn’t expected.

"It’s not just unscathed!" Zeng Tao immediately took her giant blade from her backpack, looking a bit heartbroken, "Look, my giant blade even got chipped!"

Everyone looked at her weapon.

Sure enough, there was nearly a centimeter notch on the blade!

"How did this notch get so big, did you use a lot of force?" Lou Fei’Er was surprised.

"Um..." Zeng Tao said embarrassedly, "I chopped a few times first, but it didn’t work, so I got frustrated and used all my strength, and this happened. I just wanted to chop off a piece because the material of this crystal structure looks similar to the core of the treehouse..."

She looked down, cautiously glanced at Xu Xin, "You’ll give me the material to repair it, right?"

This little girl is still considering this now.

"Just now..." At this time, Shi Wanyun spoke, looking at Xu Xin with some confusion, "Did you predict the danger just now? Why?"

She was right behind Xu Xin and had been watching him the whole time, observing his surroundings.

The so-called bystander may see more clearly, she should have a better understanding of his surroundings.

But why did he predict the danger before the trigger sounded and arrows were shot?

This made her curious, and she couldn’t help but ask.

Jin Yue also looked at Xu Xin.

She had the same general feeling.

"It’s my intuition, déjà vu," Xu Xin said, directly conveying his current confusion to those around him, "Ever since we arrived here, I’ve always had a sense of déjà vu. I’ve always had a vague feeling of familiarity with this place."

Since a real dangerous situation had occurred, he didn’t intend to hide it.

After all, besides Shi Wanyun, who was an unstable factor, everyone else was truly on his side, and he couldn’t let them get hurt.

"Déjà vu? Familiarity?" Zeng Tao looked puzzled, "What do you mean? Have you been here before?"

"Déjà vu means feeling familiar with something even though you haven’t experienced it, as though you’ve done the same thing before," Lou Fei’Er explained to Zeng Tao, "Silly."

"Huh?" Zeng Tao didn’t mind being called silly by Lou Fei’Er but widened her eyes, "So that means..."

"Just now, I instinctively felt that arrows would be shot from the ceiling and hurt you, so I pulled you away," Xu Xin looked up again at the ceiling.

The perfect ceiling, with no holes for an arrow to be shot from.

He really didn’t know where these arrows were shot from.

Did the walls restore themselves after the arrows were shot?

...Walls restore?

Xu Xin frowned slightly, a map emerging in his mind.

His current position was directly below the Hilly Resource Zone.

And the original location of the altar was directly above this palace!

He remembered that at the time, the altar could also automatically repair itself.

However, Qin Fu had once said that after he took the key from there, the altar had been destroyed, with nothing left.

...The key!

Xu Xin immediately took out the ancient bronze knife from his backpack.

Could this key be related to this place?

It was indeed possible!

"Let’s move forward," Xu Xin looked at the crossbow bolts on the ground without reaching out to pull them.

Because his intuition told him that this place didn’t only have these two arrows.

Going up to pull them would be deadly.

He was very sure.

Not just here, but the next few square meters of the region were likely within the range of arrow attacks.

How did he know?

He didn’t know how he knew.

He just knew.

"But...isn’t it dangerous ahead?" Shi Wanyun hesitated, "Can you guarantee you’ll predict every danger?"
