Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 897 - 526: Rebirth

"Ah! Your hair!" Zeng Tao exclaimed in surprise.

Hair?

Xu Xin reached out to touch his hair.

Huh?

Why is his hair so long now?

He looked down and found his hair had already grown to his chest, very long!

This is...!

Suddenly, he felt an itch all over his body.

"Ah! Your face!" Zeng Tao widened her eyes and pointed at his face, shouting.

Xu Xin immediately reached out to touch his face, instantly wiping away a layer of skin.

However, he didn’t feel pain.

Is this... dead skin?

"Oh my! What’s going on!" Zhao Xiaochuan also cried out in shock.

"Is this... your skin peeling off!?" Wen Guixin took a small step back, a bit fearfully, "Will this genetic concoction ruin your face?"

"What’s happening..." Jin Yue looked at him, a bit at a loss.

Xu Xin frowned, but he didn’t feel any discomfort.

He grasped his hand again, and immediately, a layer of skin was lifted from the back of his hand.

At that moment, he understood what was happening and laughed, "Don’t worry, I’m doing well. You will soon see a brand new me."

Saying this, he reached for his face.

Amidst the surrounding people’s exclaims, he peeled off a layer of skin from his face.

And the new skin was as smooth and tender as a newborn’s, making people want to touch it.

"Wow... Not only doesn’t it ruin your face, but it also beautifies?"

It was Ji Chaoyang who spoke: "Is your metabolism speeding up?"

"Metabolism speeding up?" The crowd was somewhat confused.

Xu Xin nodded and said, "Perhaps now, I’m renewing most of my body cells?"

In just a few seconds, his hair had grown almost to the ground. He took out a boning knife and sliced his hair, then said to the crowd, "Wait a moment, I’ll handle this. You all can look at the resources here."

Speaking, he rushed out.

He felt an unbearable itch all over his body, desperately needing a bath!

Thankfully, this place was originally the Hilly Resource Zone, not far was a lake.

Jin Yue immediately followed with a stomp. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Ah, I’ll go too!" Zeng Tao immediately wanted to follow, but then decided to pick up Lou Fei’Er and dash out.

Leaving the other explorers staring at each other.

"Brother Xin’s companions really seem amazing." Wang Lei said in surprise, "Just now that... Jin Yue? She was so fast! Just swoosh and out!"

"Is that the power of blood-pattern mutation?" Wen Guixin was also interested, "Maybe we will soon have it."

Immediately, everyone looked toward the injector.

...

Xu Xin quickly reached the lakeside.

Another version of himself had fully considered the situation after Crystal City rose to the surface, and even reserved an area for this lake, making it a scenic lake within Crystal City.

The lake’s water was crystal clear, with some fish swimming inside, all very common species.

As the map appeared in his mind, Xu Xin was surprised to find that the color of the light spots shown for these fish was green.

They used to be red before.

He did not hesitate, immediately undressing and jumping into the water.

In the water were many tiny little fish, and as he dove in, they surrounded him, pecking at him.

Are they eating the dead skin on him?

Xu Xin closed his eyes comfortably.

"Don’t worry about me, I’m perfectly fine." He enjoyed the fish therapy in the water, turning to Jin Yue standing on the shore.

"... Your look just now was a bit scary." Jin Yue’s expression relaxed a bit, she spoke softly.

"I was undergoing a transformation." He laughed.

"Xu Xin! You’re okay... Ah! Why are you soaking?" Zeng Tao suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, so many fish around you!"

With so many fish, in just half a minute, the dead skin on Xu Xin was devoured completely.

He swam to the lakeshore and stood up.

"Oh! You you you...!" Zeng Tao’s face immediately blushed, her gaze quickly avoiding, then peeking back to look again, muttering, "How can a man’s skin be so tender..."

These are newly formed skin, how can it not be tender?

Jin Yue, on the other hand, didn’t avert her eyes, for having experienced so much, she’s used to it.

Still, Xu Xin’s physique made her eyes widen slightly.

Xu Xin didn’t mind anything, feeling extremely refreshed and comfortable all over now.

Just a bit hungry.

He twisted his neck, took a new set of clothes to change, and then exhaled deeply.

Now he...

Could he be considered immortal?

Seems, aside from a more relaxed body, nothing too intense on perception.

"How do you feel? Are you good now?" Zeng Tao asked.

She still held Lou Fei’Er horizontally, but with her strength, holding Lou Fei’Er felt almost no different than raising her hand.

"Yes, I’m fine." Xu Xin walked over, looking at Lou Fei’Er, who was sleeping but whose skin all over her body was reddening, face slightly pained, and then reached out to touch her cheek.

Her face was already soaked in sweat, rather slippery, with high temperature, like the feverish temperature of a person with a forty-degree fever.
