Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 282: Chapter 244: The Purple-Black Whirlpool Reappears, The Secret in the Hills (4000 Words)_3

He checked the time again, and there was nothing wrong, the transmission just now took only a few seconds.

”Ying?” Keke ran back to Xu Xin’s feet, climbing up along his body, trying to get back onto Xu Xin’s shoulders, but Xu Xin directly grabbed him by the scruff and lifted him in front of his eyes.

Human and little panda stared at each other, big eyes to small eyes.

”You little guy, what were you touching for no reason!” Seeing Keke, Xu Xin was instantly annoyed. It was because this little guy was running around that they got sucked into this place.

”Ying...” Keke was originally dissatisfied with being picked up by Xu Xin, but after hearing his words, his little head and big tail drooped, as if realizing his mistake.

”Forget it... now that we’re here, let’s first contact Wenxi and the others.” Xu Xin shook his head, holding Keke in his arms, and sent a voice message to Li Wenxi.

”It’s not possible, I’ve tried, we can’t communicate using our watches here.” Ji Chaoyang walked over to Xu Xin, his voice also growing serious, ”In places where communication by watch is prohibited, there should be some secrets, not allowed to be shared with others, hence the temporary communication ban.”

The world’s secrets?

He seemed to have only been prohibited from communicating inside the underground city, and in that underground city, he indeed encountered the Chang Yin Family existing before the apocalypse, learning part of the world’s truth.

As for the previous underground world, he didn’t have a watch back then, but presumably, communication would have been prohibited there as well.

”So this time, did we come to the right place?” Xu Xin was a bit surprised.

”Indeed, this place might be exactly where we’ve been searching for.”

They came here to explore to find the truth about why there are so many abilities in this nearby area; maybe now they can find it!

Upon hearing Xu Xin’s words, Keke, who was curled up in a ball in his arms for having done wrong, perked up his small ears immediately, raised his little head to look at Xu Xin, and clawed at his Scale Armor: ”Ying! Yingyingying!”

”Alright, alright, I know you thought there was something good over here, that’s why you did it.” Xu Xin stroked Keke’s small head, smiling.

Come to think of it, it was indeed by relying on Keke’s instincts that they came in. If it weren’t for Keke suddenly jumping up, they might have already left the mine.

”Ying!” Keke also raised his small head, climbing up onto Xu Xin’s shoulders in a couple of movements.

”Awo!” The Silver King, having returned to normal, also came to Xu Xin’s side.

Glancing again at Ji Chaoyang who was looking into the depths of the cave, Xu Xin revealed a smile.

This team is much stronger than when he himself explored the underground city; there’s no need to worry too much.

The only question remaining is about how those two outside are doing, hoping they didn’t get sucked in too. It would be best for them to be waiting outside. After all, if any danger arises, he is confident he can handle it himself; Ji Chaoyang doesn’t need him to worry, but having those two might actually lead to some unforeseen circumstances.

Those two are very important in the team and under no circumstances should anything happen to them!

After waiting in place for a long time and seeing that the two didn’t come over, Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang exchanged a glance and nodded.

It seems either the purple-black vortex won’t appear again, or they wisely chose not to enter and decided to wait.

Either way, it’s good.

”Let’s go.” Xu Xin took a step deeper into the cave, ”Let’s find out the secret of this area!”
