Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Apparently, he had already discovered something unusual.

His observational skills are really strong; he only noticed it after a long time back then, though at that time dense jungle obscured the view, making it difficult to see the full picture from afar without finding a good angle.

Soon, they arrived within a five hundred-meter range.

”There are a lot of metal mines here too, much like my place!” Li Wenxi scrutinized the stretch of hills ahead.

”Metal mines? Where are they?” Xu Xin thought of something, immediately asking her.

”Hmm... it’s a bit odd, the metal mines are not in the mountain body but underground within the mountain body. Throughout this range of hilly mountain bodies, there’s no presence of metal mines, why is that?” Li Wenxi was a bit puzzled.

Within the mountain body, no minerals exist, but beneath the mountain...

Xu Xin had a chill again.

He recalled, during the torrential rainy season, these hills disappeared without a trace, then returned once the season ended, with no change whatsoever, not even the crooked-neck trees on the hills showed any variation.

But now, those few crooked-neck trees had shed completely due to the cooling weather.

These hills really could be alive.

”Alright, it’s right here.”

Silver King stopped at a hundred meters from the salt mine cave, and Bai Ma followed to a stop.

”What’s wrong with here?” Li Wenxi surveyed the surroundings. Ahead was the entrance to the resource zone encircled by hills; she thought they would go directly in.

”The mine hole ahead is where I previously collected salt mines. I’ve told you about it, right? It was very dangerous here before.”

”Ah, that’s the hole you mentioned! Is it still dangerous now?” Li Wenxi asked while checking on Keke, who was having a bout of bewilderment in her arms.

Ji Chaoyang had already squinted to start examining the hill.

”Ah!” Qi Xuefei also noticed something, covering her mouth with widened eyes.

”What’s wrong with you guys?” Li Wenxi was somewhat puzzled, looking along the others’ gaze, inspecting carefully, ”Hmm...? Is there something wrong... Ah! My gosh!”

Li Wenxi also discovered the situation, her eyes widened instantly, pointing at the hill ahead and screaming, ”This... Is this a head?”

Besides Xu Xin, the other three stared nervously at the peculiar hill.

”Let’s move in closer and have a look, there might be danger nearby.” Xu Xin dismounted from Silver King and slowly approached the salt mine cave.

At times like this, he somewhat missed Mimi. If Mimi was here, it could dash in quickly to do a round of inspection.

His tree house was nearby now, he could call Mimi over.

...Forget it, better have Mimi keep watch on Lou Fei’Er first, that woman can’t be fully trusted yet.

The group slowly walked towards the cave.

”...Whimper?” Keke was suddenly awakened in Li Wenxi’s arms, looking at the familiar salt mine cave ahead. It tilted its little head and made a somewhat puzzled sound.

”How’s it, Keke, mine cave, is there still danger in there now?” Xu Xin asked Keke.

”Whimper...” Keke tilted its head again, as if pondering, then shook its head, ”Whimper.”

”What does it mean?” Ji Chaoyang, who had been inspecting the hill, looked at Keke and asked.

”The cave seems to have no danger now,” Xu Xin petted Keke’s little head, ”Nonetheless, we should be cautious; Keke’s usual attitude signals though it doesn’t sense danger now, it still can’t assert it’s safe inside, possible latent danger may exist.”

”This giant head is dormant, is that what it means?” Qi Xuefei joked.

They stopped at the mouth of the salt mine cave, looking at this maw-like entrance, they all felt a bit uneasy.
