Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 837 - 506: Déjà Vu and Illusions

She had just completely failed to see how the arrow was shot out.

This is indeed too dangerous.

"I should be fine. If you’re afraid, I can put you into the bracelet." Xu Xin looked at the stairs ahead.

"I don’t need it." Jin Yue immediately shook her head.

"Neither do I." Lou Fei’Er said.

"Ah? Then... then I’ll pass..." Zeng Tao opened her mouth, but ultimately refused.

Shi Wanyun didn’t speak, she just shook her head.

Although she didn’t know what the bracelet was, from what Xu Xin just said, she understood that this bracelet should have a function similar to a backpack, able to store living things inside. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She certainly couldn’t go inside; she needed to observe Xu Xin.

"Then let’s just walk on." Xu Xin turned to look at the stairs, then patted Keke in his arms, "Keke, wake up, we need you."

No matter how he patted, Keke was already softly snoring and did not wake up.

"Keke?" Xu Xin furrowed his brow.

"What’s wrong with Keke?" Lou Fei’Er and Zeng Tao leaned in.

They liked Keke very much, and couldn’t bear to see anything happen to him.

Xu Xin lifted him up and shook him twice, unable to wake Keke.

"...Asleep. Won’t wake up." Xu Xin furrowed his brow even tighter.

Encountering this situation for the first time.

What kind of magic power is here?

Shi Wanyun looked at Keke, a flash of understanding in her eyes, as if she realized something.

But she didn’t speak.

"Let’s keep going. Follow behind me." Xu Xin said, not wasting any more time, and started moving forward.

The group had already reached the center of the first floor of the palace, only about a hundred meters away.

Such a short distance would take them less than ten seconds to run across.

Perhaps Lou Fei’Er would only need four or five seconds.

But after the recent events, everyone started to be extra cautious.

Xu Xin’s sense of déjà vu grew stronger.

Every two steps, fuzzy memories and scenes floated in his mind.

"There are traps here. Follow my steps, only walk where I have stepped." Xu Xin told the group behind him, then slightly detoured as he moved forward.

The women were curious but did as he said.

Soon, they moved another dozen meters.

"Was there really a trap back there?" Zeng Tao couldn’t help but ask.

"You could try tossing something over there now." Xu Xin replied.

"Hmm... I’ll give it a try!" Zeng Tao took a large stone from the backpack.

"Why do you have something like that in your backpack?"

"Got used to keeping them; weapons used to break often, so I’d have backups to throw as weapons!"

Saying this, Zeng Tao tossed the stone to where they just bypassed.

"Boom!" "Whoosh!"

As the stone hit the ground, large flames erupted violently up and down!

Indeed, it’s spraying fire!

And the fire is intensely hot, so high that even ten meters away, they could feel their skin being roasted!

"Wow!"

"Oh my gosh!"

They watched as the intense flames melted the rock into lava in seconds, which then fused with the crystal floor in the firelight.

The flames subsided, and the ground once again returned to its gentle, glowing crystalline surface.

"This..." The women were slightly shocked.

Such high temperatures could turn a person to ash instantly!

"Let’s keep moving forward." Xu Xin continued walking ahead.

"Hey... be careful..." Zeng Tao was a bit scared, fearing Xu Xin might suddenly step onto a trap and die.

Not just her, the other women showed worry on their faces too.

Even Shi Wanyun slightly furrowed her brow.

She even wanted to tell Xu Xin that she knew some things, and suggested they return the way they came.

After opening that door and activating this underground world, the door above is open too, so they can return directly.

This palace... she didn’t understand.

But it’s too dangerous, better to return!

But Xu Xin had already moved another dozen meters forward, leaving them no choice but to follow.

"Don’t step here."

"Over there, crouch and walk."

"Go around here."

Xu Xin’s guidance became increasingly adept.

The closer he got to the stairs, the stronger his sense of déjà vu became.

It seemed almost like it would turn into memories!

And the four women followed his lead well; nobody wanted to die, but seeing his confident directions, they began to relax slightly.

Finally, they reached the stairs leading to the second floor.

Xu Xin didn’t hesitate and stepped up.

"Careful! Is it really safe?"

Seeing Xu Xin so casually step onto the stairs, their hearts jumped.

"It’s fine, just follow me up." Xu Xin climbed up to the second floor in a few steps.

Then, the moment he got to the second floor, he smelled a strange scent, and everything went hazy before his eyes.

And then the colors in front of him started to swirl and transform!

What kind of scent?!

This aroma, can it cause hallucinations?!

He wanted to warn the people behind him but was unable to speak.

Soon, the scene in front of him became clear.

And he gradually opened his eyes wider, even his mouth began to open slowly.

All around, tall buildings stood, vehicles moved, bustling streets.

By his ears, he could even hear the honking of cars.

A few people passed by him, stirring up a gust of wind.

The air seemed to turn unpleasant, carrying a trace of dust and the smell of car exhaust.

This scent—he was all too familiar with it!

Earth?!

The scene before him... was Earth! And his birthplace city!

He sharply looked around.

In the familiar scenery, the figures of the women had disappeared.

He took a deep breath and immediately reached out to grab at the person walking by.

The result was that his hand passed through the person’s body, grabbing nothing.

The pedestrian paid no attention to his action and walked away indifferently.

...So it was indeed an illusion.

Xu Xin suddenly didn’t know how to feel.

He gritted his teeth.

What the heck is going on?!
