"Whatâs up, Brother Xin? Is there something special about this shovel? Why do you seem so surprised?"
Wang Lei, lacking the ability to discern, couldnât see the detailed introduction Xu Xin had. Puzzled, he asked.
"...When you were digging out the tree house, did you get any seeds?" Xu Xin didnât answer but asked instead.
"Seeds? No, did the tree house really yield seeds?" Wang Lei was even more puzzled.
...It seems like hoping to dig out top-grade tree house seeds with this shovel is impossible.
After all, this shovel is supposed to guarantee seed acquisition. Since the tree house didnât yield any seeds, it shows that tree house seeds canât be obtained this way at all.
Still, this is a highly powerful tool!
Although they canât get high-quality or top-grade tree house seeds, they could acquire high-quality or even top-grade seeds of various plants!
This is truly a good thing!
Did Lou FeiâEr and the others actually overlook such a powerful tool?
Fortunately, besides him, no one else could enter that room, preventing theft. Otherwise, if it got stolen by, say, those hairy creatures, it would be uncomfortable.
Well, not completely inaccessible for others. His sister, Xu Ying, might be able to enter after all?
But where did that girl run off with Wenxi...
Xu Xin handed the shovel to Wang Lei and told him about its use.
"What? Itâs that powerful? Do seeds have grades too?" Wang Leiâs mouth dropped open in shock, then he directly handed the shovel back to Xu Xin, "Better you take it, Brother Xin. You donât need this kind of shovel to dig out a tree house; an ordinary one works just fine. I just thought this crystal shovel looked nice, didnât expect it to be so useful. I better not hold onto it after all!"
"Alright." Xu Xin nodded and accepted it without refusal.
With such a valuable item, of course, he wanted to keep it for himself.
However, this crystal shovel is significant and may become a strategic tool amongst explorers.
"What about the crystal axe?"
"Still in that room, I havenât taken it out." Wang Lei said.
After returning, I should check out that axe as well; it might have some impressive functionalities too.
Xu Xin looked around.
Over on Li Wenxiâs side, the area was nearly bare, except for a coordinate marker there was nothing else.
As for the coordinate, itâs completely fixed and unmovable now, only usable as a teleportation point here.
Li Wenxiâs side was Wang Leiâs last stop. He had already brought the other survivorsâ tree houses to Crystal City while Xu Xin was talking to Shi Wanyun. Now itâs just Xu Xin and Li Wenxiâs area left.
Xu Xin and Wang Lei teleported to their tree house, and by this time Zeng Tao had also returned.
"Ah, Wang Lei?" Upon seeing Wang Lei, Zeng Tao had a competitive look, "I heard youâre much stronger than me? Want to have a match with me?"
"Forget it, forget it." Wang Lei hurriedly waved his hand, "Iâve got strength, sure, but my combat skills arenât as good as yours. I heard you even fought trolls up close? Iâd never dare try that."
"Heh, since you admit defeat, weâll let it go!"
Zeng Tao was easily satisfied, feeling rather pleased.
"Brother Xin, your side..."
"You go on ahead; Zeng Tao can handle things here. Besides, thereâs another person over there." Xu Xin glanced at the solitary parasitic tree house.
"Alright then, Iâll head over first!"
Wang Lei immediately sprinted towards Crystal City, and there was a group ready to receive him. After all, Ji Chaoyang and others wouldnât let Wang Lei transport so many tree houses alone in case anything went wrong.
Meanwhile, Xu Xin controlled the tree house roots to enter the low parasitic tree house and brought out Shi Wanyun and Mimi.
"You donât need to be so wary of me," Shi Wanyun said with some resignation, "I canât do much to you now, can I? Besides, I donât want to run. Iâm still waiting for the potion you promised me."
"Who knows? Mimi, keep an eye on her."
Xu Xin didnât trust this woman at all.
"Yeah, weâre definitely not trusting you!"
Beside her, Zeng Tao looked at Shi Wanyun with hostility. She had already learned about Shi Wanyunâs current situation from Lou FeiâEr.
"Suit yourselves." Shi Wanyun turned her head away.
She felt a bit helpless.
Right now, if she wanted to do something, it would surely draw attention.
...What should I do?
Well, quietly wait until theyâve moved, and then find an opportunity.
Very soon, Xu Xinâs tree house and the parasitic tree house were both excavated, leaving the entire area cleared.
Xu Xin sighed.
This area that had accompanied him for so long being cleared out left him with a tinge of melancholy.
Luckily, the new location wasnât far from here and this place had a coordinate allowing direct teleportation back.
He turned to look at the nearby lake.
In recent times, this lake had been fairly calm.
After the heatwave, the water level of the lake gradually returned to normal.
And the Lake Giant Python hadnât appeared again.
"Goodbye, big guy. When you come out, do visit us at Crystal City."
With Crystal Cityâs capabilities, perhaps it will make it easier to get along with this big guy?
