"It's simply because I have good hearing." Xu Xin pointed to his ear, "Random amplification, I told you about it before, right?"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Li Wenxi suddenly realized, "Random amplification!"

"Ying!" Keke climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder.

"You come with me too, to my treehouse." Xu Xin glanced at Lou Fei'Er, who was tidying up the dishes, "Bring valuable and decorative items from your treehouse with you, come with me."

"Oh, okay." Lou Fei'Er quickly wiped her hands. She was more than happy to avoid washing dishes and immediately ran upstairs. Ten seconds later, she ran back down, "I've packed up."

"Let's go."

As they arrived below the treehouse, Xu Xin felt the sound in his ears becoming more pronounced.

"Hurry up!" He pulled Li Wenxi and ran along the path they had created to the coordinates and activated the portal.

"If something comes up on your side that you can't handle, contact me. I have the protection of the plant heart over here, which gives me a lot of leeway, and I should be able to help you."

"Okay! I'm heading back now." Li Wenxi nodded and stepped directly into the portal.

Xu Xin looked out at the snow-covered forest outside the treehouse.

The strange sound came from all around.

Moreover, just when he activated the portal, he finally remembered why this sound was so familiar.

This sound was very similar to the unpleasant sound that occurred when the portal exit appeared!

It was all very unpleasant, even making one feel a bit dizzy!

Xu Xin manipulated the tendrils to tie around Lou Fei'Er's waist: "I'm going to check out the forest outside. You go up first."

Lou Fei'Er was stunned and quickly said, "Then I'll go with you. I'm fast and can help."

"No, the snow on the ground is too thick, it'll hinder your movement. You go up first, I'll be back shortly."

"...But wouldn't it affect you too?" Lou Fei'Er thought Xu Xin underestimated her strength and immediately argued back, "I used to be in the top five of area 187, I'm not that weak."

"Alright, go up, you know how to use the control panel, right? Keep an eye on the surroundings for me, and call me if anything happens."

Having said that, he didn't give Lou Fei'Er a chance to continue arguing and directly pulled her up.

"You..." Lou Fei'Er didn't finish her sentence and was pulled into the treehouse.

Of course, he wouldn't be affected.

No matter how thick the snow was.

"Keke, hold on tight." Xu Xin looked toward the forest a hundred meters away.

The strange sound was coming from the forest.

"Ying? Ying!" Keke, lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, understood what Xu Xin was about to do and immediately gripped his shoulder tightly with all four paws.

Xu Xin took a deep breath and began to run forward.

Faster and faster, he started to sprint.

With his body having been reinforced multiple times, even though his speed couldn't match Mimi or Lou Fei'Er's, he could completely surpass the original human limits, and was certainly faster than Bo Le Te.

At the edge of the snow under the treehouse, he made a sudden effort with his foot, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball, directly leaping into the air!

"Wow!" Lou Fei'Er poked her head out the window trying to see what he was doing, and just as she got to the window, she saw his whole body flying forward, "This... this this this!"

She was so shocked she couldn't speak.

This jump was really far!

Xu Xin jumped to the coordinates in one step, to Lou Fei'Er's parasitic treehouse in two steps, and in three steps, he leaped over a hundred meters into the forest!

A new triple jump world record was born!

Three steps, a distance over one hundred and fifty meters, and the height was astounding!

With a soft thud, Xu Xin landed in the snow in the forest.

The piercing coldness once again spread throughout his body, making him clench his teeth.

So cold!

He noticed that the snow in the forest was much thicker than the snow near the treehouse.

The snow was about to completely bury his entire leg, over a meter thick!

Probably because the area near the treehouse was relatively warm, causing the snow to melt a bit, resulting in less accumulation, whereas the forest was extremely cold, leading to such a thick buildup.

"Ying..." Keke weakly whined on Xu Xin's shoulder and immediately burrowed into Xu Xin's arms.

It was too cold, it couldn't take it.

"Keke, is there any danger around?" Xu Xin asked while holding Keke.

"Ying?" Keke lifted its little head, looked around, then shook its head and snuggled back.

It sensed no danger.

Though Keke said there was no danger, Xu Xin didn't dare to let his guard down.

Because he had already found the source of the sound.

He looked down at the thick snow.

He could clearly feel that this strange sound was emanating from beneath the snowy surface.

But now, the entire ground was buried under a thick snow cover, preventing him from discerning the shape of the ground.

Could there be something else emerging from beneath this snow-covered ground?

Fortunately, with his enhanced jumping ability, Xu Xin wasn't overly worried.

Moreover, this sound was so similar to... the sound when the portal exit, the purple vortex, formed?

Xu Xin decided to clear away a patch of snow to see if there had been any special changes on the ground.

He first took out a fragment of the energy core, letting its glistening white light illuminate the area.

The bone-chilling coldness, which even the purple-level Scale Armor couldn't resist, was completely dispelled the moment the energy core fragment was taken out.

The surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly, going from minus twenty degrees to plus twenty degrees in just a few seconds.

Feeling the warmth around him, Xu Xin's originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Not only because the temperature had risen, but also because, under the illumination of the energy core, this snow-covered ground now seemed less dangerous to him.

After all, so far, no mutated creatures had dared to face this glistening white light directly, and the area illuminated by this white light was very safe.

He immediately took out a shovel and started clearing the surrounding snow.

Soon, he had cleared out two to three square meters below his feet.

Looking at the soil beneath his feet, Xu Xin squinted slightly.

Indeed, there was something unusual.

Despite being covered by snow, the soil full of dry grass remained dry and even had a tendency to crack.

But atop the dry soil, there appeared darker patterns as if they had been soaked.

These patterns, Xu Xin was very familiar with.

The first time he saw such patterns was on the stone pillars and altar in the Hilly Resource Zone.

At the same time, these patterns also appeared on the mutated rabbit and mutated cat summoned, as well as the Blood-striped Marlin encountered during the rainstorm season, only they were in a blood-red hue.

This is exactly the blood pattern found on mutated creatures!

However, not all mutated creatures have these blood patterns.

The blood patterns on the Silver King and Mimi, although also blood patterns, were different from these.

But one thing is certain, these dark wet patterns on the dry light-colored soil, of unknown origin, are definitely connected to the mutated beast horde predicted by Ji Chaoyang!

Combining this with the endlessly similar sound to the gathering of the teleportation array exit...

Xu Xin suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.

What does this mean?

The whole land is connected to mutated creatures?

The whole land is a portal?

Will these beasts and mutated creatures be directly transmitted here?
