Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 672: Chapter 452: Encountering Chang Yin Again (4600-Word Chapter)_2

With a single slap, the giant stone block transformed into a decent-looking stone house.

”Whoa, is it really this magical?” Wang Lei widened his eyes, staring at the unfolding events.

”This... is this not a mechanism?” Wen Guixin was equally amazed. ”Creating a stone house on the spot?”

”Step back a little,” Chang Yin said, and then he slapped the door again, slowly retreating a few steps.

The just-formed large stone door slowly opened outward like that!

Looking inside, Xu Xin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Stairs.

Stairs leading down, into the underground.

With a feeling reminiscent of that underground city from before.

”Let’s go in,” Chang Yin turned to the others and said.

Ji Chaoyang took the first step forward, while the others remained still.

Even Xu Xin didn’t move.

This sudden entry underground naturally made them wary.

Especially since this underground passage emerged so mysteriously.

Xu Xin actually couldn’t guarantee that Chang Yin now truly stood on their side.

After all, they hadn’t seen each other for so long.

And moreover...

What about Xue Lan and Xiaohong?

After Xiaohong was taken by the pterosaur statue, did he ever meet Chang Yin?

Did the pterosaur statue and those mutated stone statues have any connection with Chang Yin?

”Rest assured, I won’t harm you,” Chang Yin said helplessly, seeing their wary expressions.

He opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated, eventually shaking his head and saying, ”Otherwise, you can ask him.”

He pointed to Ji Chaoyang.

”He can be trusted,” Ji Chaoyang spoke at that moment, addressing the people behind him, ”My ability tells me that I think he can be trusted.”

Hearing Ji Chaoyang’s words, the tension in the faces of the surrounding people immediately eased.

So, does Ji Chaoyang’s prophesied future confirm that Chang Yin is indeed one of us?

His predictions usually happen a day or two later, definitely beyond the time limit of the activity.

That means, he should be foretelling what happens once we’re out, right?

Then it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Wait...

A glint of wisdom flashed in Xu Xin’s eyes.

Ji Chaoyang told them about his ability; he had to fulfill the previous prophecy before a new one would occur.

Does that mean his previous prophecy has already been fulfilled?

Has he already...

Seen Xue Lan?

Xu Xin paused slightly, then stepped forward and spoke, ”I believe in Chang Yin. He shouldn’t harm us.”

Lou Fei’Er naturally stood by his side unconditionally, immediately stepping forward with him.

”Since both of you said so, I’ll trust him as well,” Wen Guixin nodded, walking forward.

The others followed suit.

Chang Yin, meanwhile, was caught by surprise at Ji Chaoyang’s recent words.

”Your ability?”

He looked at Ji Chaoyang with some amazement.

”Do you survivors have other abilities too?”

Ji Chaoyang smiled faintly, not saying a word.

Chang Yin shook his head and said, ”You all are truly mysterious. None of the previous four groups of survivors had circumstances like yours. Oh well, since you all trust me, follow me.”

Saying this, he stepped into the stone door.

All six followed behind him inside.

After stepping in, they heard the sound of stones rubbing.

They turned to see the stone door slowly closing.

Chang Yin continued walking forward.

”Squeak!” Keke made a noise, jumping off Xu Xin’s shoulder, and even ran directly ahead of Chang Yin.

”Oh, this little guy, so energetic, huh?” Chang Yin laughed.

The group exchanged glances and continued following Chang Yin downward.

The stone staircase looked as if it had just been carved out, with dust and small stone fragments occasionally falling off its steps.

Could this really be the passage Chang Yin stomped out with his foot?

The passage was not long, only around a dozen meters, and then they arrived at a small space at its end.

The small room was square, empty, and about the size of an ordinary bedroom.

Keke was already standing in the middle of the room, tilting its head as it observed all around.

”Alright, this far, there’s no problem,” Chang Yin relaxed and then stomped his foot again.

Immediately, seven stone pedestals rose from the ground.

”Whoa, this skill of yours is cool!” Wang Lei stepped forward immediately, touching the stone pedestal and then its seamless connection to the ground. ”Seamless connection! The ability to control stones? Is it that strong?”

”It’s not really a powerful ability. Sit down. Ah, finally I can speak freely. It was truly frustrating outside,” Chang Yin immediately sat on the stone pedestal, producing a crisp stone-on-stone clink.

Immediately, the group sat down.

Keke climbed onto Xu Xin’s lap right away, lying down with its big tail drooping, and started dozing off again.

”So, how exactly did you two...” Xu Xin petted Keke’s little head, his eyes moving back and forth between the two.

How did Chang Yin and Ji Chaoyang meet?

”That’s a long story. To be honest, I never thought I’d meet you all down here,” Chang Yin turned and glanced at Ji Chaoyang, then smiled. ”It was thanks to him that I could come out and find you.”

”It was quite a coincidence,” Ji Chaoyang nodded. ”I also didn’t expect to meet Xu Xin’s mentioned Chang Yin. If I hadn’t met him, I might be stuck down here like you.”
