Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1203 - 632: Gravely Wounded Shell Casing

”What’s going on...”

Xu Xin lay on the ground, feeling pain all over his body.

He felt as if the bones throughout his body had fallen apart.

Dust was swirling everywhere, and when he tried to open his mouth to catch his breath, he inhaled a mouthful of dirt.

”Cough, cough, cough...”

The coughing rattled his chest, pulling on his muscles and causing intense pain.

He even coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He tried to move his hand to take out a pill from his backpack.

But his injuries were quite severe, making it hard for him to reach out.

”Whee! Whee whee!”

Keke was unscathed, anxiously circling around Xu Xin.

”Keke, help me get the backpack...”

”Xu Xin!”

At that moment, an urgent voice rang out.

Lou Fei’Er was the first to rush over.

Her speed was incredibly fast, appearing beside Xu Xin almost instantaneously.

Seeing his current state, with his pale face and blood at the corner of his mouth, Lou Fei’Er was shocked: ”Are you... are you okay!”

Saying this, she knelt down, trying to help Xu Xin up.

”No...”

Xu Xin’s lips twitched, quickly stopping her.

His body felt like it was about to fall apart, and this woman actually wanted to lift him up...

”Whee whee!” Keke’s little paws nudged Lou Fei’Er’s arm.

At this time, Jin Yue gracefully landed beside them.

Seeing Xu Xin’s state and Lou Fei’Er’s actions, she hastily stopped her: ”Don’t move, first give him a pill to help heal his injuries!”

As she spoke, she took a pill out of her backpack and held it to Xu Xin’s lips.

”The pill... oh, right!” Lou Fei’Er said anxiously, ”Quick, take the pill!”

Life had been too comfortable lately; seeing Xu Xin seriously injured made her panic, almost forgetting about the miraculous healing pills.

After taking the pill, Xu Xin immediately felt warmth flowing through his body, followed by a tickling sensation from inside out.

His body was starting to recover.

After about ten seconds, his tightly-knit brow finally relaxed, and he slowly sat up.

”Whee...” Seeing that Xu Xin was okay, Keke called out in relief, then turned and ran off.

Xu Xin felt his body, finally exhaling a breath of relief: ”Thank you, how did you... oh right, Huihui!”

Xu Xin immediately looked around.

The dust cloud had dissipated, and everything around was now clearly visible.

”Ah!”

Huihui was about twenty meters away from Xu Xin, now lifting its body off the ground and walking towards him.

”Huihui is okay.” Walking in front of Huihui was Shi Wanyun. ”The injuries it just received have completely healed themselves.”

Self-healing...

Everyone present looked at Huihui’s wing, which had a large hole but was now fully restored.

”It recovered so fast!” Lou Fei’Er exclaimed, ”Did you give Huihui a pill too?”

”No.” Shi Wanyun shook her head and walked over, ”Its wing healed on its own.”

Xu Xin slowly stood up, moved his body a bit, feeling no more issues, then looked at Huihui: ”The self-healing ability of a giant beast’s bloodline is very strong; being inside Crystal City probably helped its recovery.”

When Huihui was hit just now, it was only one step away from Crystal City, causing it to spin and fall into the city’s edge zone.

Not only Huihui, but the mutant creatures acting as Crystal City’s guards in the edge zone were also drawn by the commotion and crowded around.

Huihui approached, lowering its big head: ”Ah...”

It seemed remorseful, feeling that its fall and causing Xu Xin’s serious injuries were its fault.

Xu Xin patted its big head: ”It’s not your fault; you were attacked. It’s good that you’re okay.”

”Ah!”

”And you? Have you fully recovered?” Lou Fei’Er asked.

”Of course, don’t underestimate Sister Xuefei’s pills.” Xu Xin said, feeling his body, smiling, ”I’m completely healed.”

”That’s good to hear,” Lou Fei’Er sighed in relief.

Xu Xin turned his head to look outside Crystal City.

From the moment he lay on the ground, he activated his map ability.

At that instant, he saw a very bright red dot.

Though this red dot was not as big and bright as the Lake Giant Python’s glow, it was distinct, just below it.

At present, the only thing brighter than that red dot on this ground was the Lake Giant Python.

Even the previous Tyrannosaurus’ brightness was slightly lesser.

However, before Lou Fei’Er and the others arrived, that red dot suddenly vanished.

Since then, it hasn’t reappeared.

Did it leave?

”What attacked us just now, did any of you notice?”

Xu Xin turned to look at Lou Fei’Er, Shi Wanyun, and Jin Yue.

”Um... let’s return to the World Tree first,” Lou Fei’Er said alertly, glancing outside Crystal City, ”It’s too dangerous here.”

”Alright, discussing here would be a waste of time. Huh? Where’s Keke?”

Xu Xin suddenly noticed Keke was nowhere in sight.

”Keke ran towards outside of Crystal City just now.” Shi Wanyun pointed towards the direction outside Crystal City, ”Maybe it’s going to find the culprit behind this incident.”

... What?

That little creature!
