Xu Xin felt that this activity was downright malicious.
He sensed that this was absolutely not a mission they should be encountering at this stage.
After all, considering that most people are unaware of the underground worldās existence, how could there possibly be any normal activities related to it?
He stared at the button before him, feeling completely unsettled.
He did find a way back, though.
Itās very simple, as long as everyone is in this space, then pressing this button will do the trick.
These stone statues wouldnāt awaken simply because someone entered.
But...
According to the consoleās introduction, when this button is pressed, not only will they be transported back to the surface, but these stone statues will also be teleported to the surface!
He seemed to understand how that pile of stone statues ended up at the top of Xue Feng.
Theyāre probably the ones that were transported up together!
Although the Snow Mountain Transmission Array wasnāt activated back then, maybe they had some method for one-way transmission.
Furrowing his brows, Xu Xin began to head back.
He wasnāt cautious anymore, jumping straight up in place, leaping over ten meters.
Anyway, these stone statues werenāt going to wake up.
Soon, he had jumped back to the entrance.
"So, how is it? Whatās the situation?" Chang Yin inquired.
Xu Xin informed Chang Yin of his discovery.
"This..." Chang Yinās stony brow furrowed as well, "This is not good."
"Of course itās not good." Xu Xin rubbed his brow, feeling deeply troubled.
This is an incredibly bad situation!
Itās absolutely outrageous!
Even if they want to return, they canāt bring all these stone statues back to the surface, right?
Thatās just too ridiculous!
If itās just those low-level and mid-level mutant creature statues, thatās one thing, but dozens of high-level mutant creature statues...
He couldnāt handle even one, to be honest...
Even with the various weapons in the current treehouse, maybe dealing with one or two isnāt a problem, but dozens...
Seriously, forget about it.
If they wake up, their only fate would be to get beaten.
If they all got transported back to the surface together, his treehouse could be immediately taken over by someone else.
Some solution must be found.
"Letās get out first."
"Alright."
The two furrowed their brows and silently pondered how to resolve this problem.
After emerging from the main vine bundle, Xu Xin saw Lou FeiāEr sliding her watch while leaning against a gap.
"You guys are out. These giant beasts are really fascinating." As Lou FeiāEr saw them come out, she straightened her body and pointed at the group of giant beasts outside, who were in a chaotic battle.
"Whatās up?" Xu Xin looked outside.
At the moment, he was somewhat far from the giant beasts, practically unable to hear their mental voices anymore.
Now he could basically confirm that the furthest range he could hear mental voices should be around three hundred meters.
Moreover, the further away, the weaker the mental voice, three hundred meters was already very weak, the limit of what he could hear.
"Even though they are caught up in a melee, any giant beast that gets seriously injured will automatically exit the battle, and the surrounding beasts will cease their attacks on it," Lou FeiāEr explained, shaking her head with a laugh, "These giants fought for so long but not one has fallen; are they just play-fighting?"
This is similar to before.
"Do you know why these beasts are fighting?" Xu Xin turned and asked Chang Yin.
Chang Yin shook his head: "No clue, ever since I arrived underground, theyāve been like this, although previously it was always one-on-one, they seldom fought in a chaotic melee."
"So what did you see inside? Why do you both look so grim?" Lou FeiāEr noticed the solemn expressions of the two, and inquired.
Xu Xin shared his discovery with Lou FeiāEr.
"So, to get out, we need to take the whole group of stone statues with us?" Lou FeiāEr asked, somewhat dumbfounded, "Canāt we lure them out?"
"From where?" Xu Xin shook his head, "Where nearby is there an exit large enough to lure those enormous creatures out? Even if there was an exit, how would we lure them? If they attack, we have no power to resist, let alone lure them out."
"...Perhaps we could let that big guy help?" Lou FeiāEr suggested, pointing downwards.
"Big guy..." Chang Yin muttered a couple of times, then chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, "You sure have ideas, that big guy, even the Blood Pattern Race wouldnāt dare provoke it too much, how could it help?"
"Give it what it wants." Lou FeiāEr stomped her foot and glanced at the ground.
"How do you usually satisfy it, to get it to work for you?" Xu Xin thought it might be possible, after all, he had seen those sudden large mouths appear on the big guy.
If it made a move, possibly swallowing those stone creature statues into its body might not be a problem.
"Satisfy it?" Chang Yin paused, "We seem...never did anything to satisfy it, right, just let it swallow large underground creatures to the prison cell directly...wait..."
He furrowed his brows slightly as if pondering something.
Xu Xin and Lou FeiāEr remained silent, awaiting Chang Yinās response.
Perhaps, the big guy being held below the prison is their only hope now.
"Anyone there? Brother Xin, are you there?"
