Chapter 326: The Familiar Decayed Wooden Door, The Strange Egg

The icy chill continuously spread from the narrow cave.

If he wanted to enter this cave to explore, he might not be able to explore comfortably with his current equipment.

Just the chill emanating from the cave can make Xu Xin shiver standing at the entrance of the cave. The temperature inside must have been lower than minus 50 degrees, or even far lower.

He glanced at the time, and it was only half an hour since he climbed up. There is still plenty of time before the 12-hour deadline given to him by the task.

And he has already climbed more than 300 meters.

Not surprising, because this twelve-hour time limit is for ordinary survivors. And today he has increased arm strength, and his climbing speed is much, much faster than ordinary survivors.

With enough time, he can stop to rest and explore on the way of climbing.

"Crack..." There was another small sound.

This time, because he was at the entrance of the cave and the voice came from inside the cave, Xu Xin could hear it clearly.

It sounded a bit like the sound of something cracking.

For example, the sound of rocks cracking, or ice shattering.

Xu Xin looked at the corner at the end of the cave and decided to go in to find out.

He didn't take out the energy core fragment directly, but walked in slowly.

If there is any danger inside, the light of the energy core fragments may disturb it.

In this frigid high altitude, he couldn't help being sloppy, so he could only walk quietly into the cave by himself.

Step by step, he walked gently to the corner of the cave.

Even though they had only separated for a short time, Xu Xin already missed Ke Ke a little.

If it was Ke Ke, he should have been told by this time whether there was any danger in the cave.

If there is no danger, Ke Ke, this little guy is likely to jump off his shoulder one step before him and rush in.

Of course, such a low temperature is completely unbearable.

Taking a deep breath, the icy chill penetrated directly into his heart and lungs.

The surrounding temperature was already below minus 50 degrees, and he could already feel the obvious cold, which was probably equivalent to the feeling of going out in short sleeves in winter.

However, because his current physique is already extraordinary, as long as this kind of cold doesn't last too long, he can still bear it.

He took out a blue-level iron sword from his backpack. That's right, it was the iron sword for caves that he made when exploring the dungeon.

The cave this time is also very narrow. Of course, it is much wider than the labyrinth cave that time. That time I could only pass sideways, but this time I can at least walk normally.

Turning the corner, there is a straight narrow passage.

This straight and narrow passage, less than one meter wide, is different from the cave outside the corner. The rock walls are relatively neater, a bit like a passage built by man-made openings.

A thin layer of frost formed on the stone wall of the passage.

A strange feeling rose in Xu Xin's heart. He always felt that this place was inexplicably familiar.

"Crack..."

The slight sound came from the end of the passage. He quickened his pace and walked forward quickly without making any sound.

Soon, he came to the end of the passage.

"This is……?"

The incomparably piercing chill could not conceal his surprise at this moment.

At the end of the passage, there is a door!

A... some rotten wooden door!

The entire door was already very decayed, even crooked, the entire facade was very tattered, and there were still some cracks, and a thin layer of frost formed on the wooden door.

The door looked as if it would fall if pushed.

This wooden door looks familiar!

This material, the degree of decay, and the familiar doorknob style...

Isn't this the decayed wooden door of each room in the dungeon where he found Changyin's family?

This... why is there such a wooden door here? !

and……

He looked back.

The familiarity of walking through this passage gradually fermented, and memories began to emerge in his mind.

It's the stone wall of the dungeon passage!

The stone wall of this straight passage is exactly the same material as the stone wall of the dungeon!

It's just that even the narrowest passages in the dungeon are much wider than here, and all the rotten wooden doors are on both sides of the passage, while the door here is only the one at the end of the passage, so He didn't recognize it right away.

Dungeons...? In this giant peak, in the sky, is there a dungeon?

"Crack..."

Another sound came from behind the basically completely decayed door and from inside the room.

The thing that makes the sound is inside.

So weird!

Xu Xin could feel that the air here was very dry due to the low temperature, so the air humidity was also very low.

If he took a deep breath, not only would he shiver from the cold, but his mouth would also be dry.

This door, if it has been in such a low-temperature and dry environment, it is impossible for such decay to occur!

The wooden doors of the dungeon back then were also rotten because the environment was very humid, so humid that water droplets would even drip from the rock wall above.

The door here shouldn't be...

Looking at the frost on the wooden door, it felt like... from the originally humid and warm environment, it suddenly became very cold, and then the moisture was directly frozen on the door. It looked like It's like the door is frozen.

...That's right, didn't this mountain peak just appear suddenly?

Within one night, it rose from the ground and suddenly appeared.

Wait... rise from the ground?

Xu Xin seemed to understand something.

Could it be that... this place is originally a dungeon?

It's just that, because the entire stone pillar giant peak rises from the ground, so, bring out part of this underground city?

...Yes, that should be the case.

This can also explain why the environment here has suddenly changed.

Unexpectedly, he was able to explore the dungeon at a height of more than 300 meters on the snow peak.

Standing motionless for a long time, Xu Xin felt that she was going to be frozen by the low temperature here.

He buried his head in the snow fox scarf, took a breath, and then reached out and pushed towards the frozen door ahead.

At this time, the door was already frozen tightly and could not be easily pushed open.

Helpless, Xu Xin could only intensify his efforts.

"Crack!" The door was not pushed open, but pushed down.

This kind of decayed wooden door couldn't withstand the current low temperature and freezing at all, so he not only pushed the ice away, but also deduced the hinge of the door, and the whole door fell backwards.

"Snapped!"

Although the door was rotten, it was solidly frozen, and when it fell to the ground, there was a sound of ice hitting the ground, and it was not damaged at all, and it was still intact.

And Xu Xin also looked into the room.

The room is not big, basically the same size as those in the dungeon. After all, this is a room in a dungeon.

"This is..." With wide eyes, he immediately stepped on the door that was pushed down on the ground, and stepped into the room.

In the middle of the room, there is a device that looks a little weird.

The lower part of the device is made of iron, which is already stained with red and rust, while the upper part is made of glass, and the overall shape is square. At first glance, it seems to be a strange fish tank.

However, under the sudden change in temperature, the whole device seemed to be frozen, and the glass was covered with frost and cracks, just like a piece of tempered glass that had been broken, full of cracks but still stuck together, completely invisible something inside.

Xu Xin could hear rustling sounds coming from inside, and... weak breathing?

Um? !

Is there something alive here? !

This whole device is not big, just the size of a fish tank, and the largest thing inside should be no bigger than a kitten, right?

"Crack..." There was another sound from inside.

This time, the voice was very clear, and he could hear it especially clearly.

He finally knew what that sound was!

This is the sound of eggshells cracking!

Inside, is a little thing that is hatching!

"This..." Xu Xin was startled.

Under such a cold temperature, what other living things could not hatch?

That must be no ordinary creature!

Xu Xin didn't think about it anymore, and found a place on the broken glass box that was far away from the place where the sound came out. He stabbed a hole with his sword, then reached out and grabbed the glass with force, pulling the whole piece of glass back. come down!

"Wow!"

The shards of glass shattered all over the place, and the things that were blocked inside also appeared in front of his eyes.

Sure enough, it was an egg!

An egg bigger than an ostrich egg!

A white egg already covered with cracks!

This egg is too big, at least on the modern earth, such a big egg will not appear.

Xu Xin's first reaction was dinosaur eggs, but he immediately rejected it. This world is basically the same as the species on the earth, and there should be no species that have been extinct for tens of millions of years.

However, Xu Xin couldn't help but have some doubts, what kind of egg is this?

It should be... the egg of a giant beast, right?

Pretty much, maybe even bigger than that if creek-bottom crocodiles can lay eggs.

He looked around the room, which was empty of anything but this strange contraption.

Is this room just a place to incubate it?

The movement in the egg became smaller and smaller, and the sound of breathing became weaker and weaker.

No, the temperature is too low, the creature in this egg is going to die!

Just as Xu Xin was about to take out the energy core from his backpack, he stopped suddenly.

The creature inside this egg is not a blood-striped creature, is it?

If it was a blood-striped creature, then if he took out the energy core, he would kill it, right?

However, according to his previous judgment, it can be seen from Aifei and the two little guys that the bloodline mutation is likely to be a non-genetic mutation, an acquired mutation, and a mutation that can be gradually upgraded. Should not be passed on to offspring.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that the little guy in this egg is a blood-striped mutated creature.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin took out the energy core fragments.

In an instant, the surroundings were illuminated by bright and soft white light, and the temperature soared rapidly. Within ten seconds, it rose from minus 60 to 70 degrees to about 20 degrees above zero.

"Huh..." Xu Xin let out a long breath, comfortable!

Very comfortable!

The little creature in the egg in front of him is also very comfortable.

There was no rustling in the egg, but the breathing had recovered and stabilized.

Xu Xin felt the comfortable temperature and was thinking at the same time.

How did this egg survive until he came over, and why did it suddenly crack open?

He thought that he had also taken out the energy core fragments in the small pothole below.

Xu Xin has already tested the influence range of this energy core fragment. The temperature can be maintained at about 20 degrees within a radius of 50 meters, and it will be affected within a radius of 100 meters.

And this cave is only five or six meters away from the cave where he squatted and rested just now, so it was naturally affected.

The egg, which was originally frozen, started to move after sensing the change in the surrounding temperature, which attracted Xu Xin.

That's right.

The little creature in the egg breathed steadily, but stopped moving. It must have exhausted all its strength and fell into a deep sleep.

creature in the egg...

Either reptiles or winged.

If it were a winged behemoth...

Gotta take it!

But how to take it away?

His backpack can't carry living things, so he can't carry it away, right?

Is the bracelet okay?

Xu Xin tried to touch this strange egg with her bracelet.

The cracked egg immediately entered the bracelet.

Sure enough!

The introduction of the bracelet is that it can accommodate mutant creatures, but it doesn't say that it can only accommodate bloodstriped mutant creatures.

This strange egg is a circle larger than an ostrich egg. It is likely to be the egg of a giant beast. It has the blood of a giant beast and is also a mutant creature, so it can also be stored in it.

In this way, very miraculously, Xu Xin got a strange egg that should have been hatched in the dungeon on the way to climb the giant peak.

After putting the egg in, Xu Xin felt the warm temperature for a few seconds, then put away the fragments of the energy core, and returned the same way.

Soon, Xu Xin came to the entrance of the cave.

The temperature at the entrance of the cave was maintained above minus 50 degrees, allowing his body temperature to return to normal again.

It's really cold inside the cave.

Go ahead.

Just as he grasped the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, felt the chill from the rock in his hands, and was about to continue climbing, suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose from his heart!

There is danger behind!

He didn't even think about it, and jumped directly into the cave.

"Zika!" The sound of something scratching across the rock and directly crushing the rock.

What is attacking him? !
