Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1204 - 632: Seriously Wounded, Shell Casing_2

"Whimper!" At this moment, Keke emerged from the forest outside the city,

Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, luckily this little guy was unscathed.

Keke ran over and climbed onto Xu Xin’s shoulder, "Whimper..."

"Eh? Is Keke holding something in its mouth?" Lou Fei’Er wondered.

Xu Xin lowered his head and moved aside, indeed, there seemed to be a metallic sheen in the little guy’s mouth.

He reached his hand to Keke’s mouth, and as Keke opened its mouth, a metal cylindrical object dropped into Xu Xin’s hand.

"This is..." Xu Xin’s pupils shrank.

[Meteorite Iron Shell (Gold): A shell made of meteorite iron, capable of withstanding extremely strong impacts.]

The description was clear and concise.

"Shell..." The three women all seemed to think of something and exchanged glances.

"..." Xu Xin glanced outside the city, clutching the shell in his hand, "Let’s head back first."

"Okay."

...

Inside the World Tree, Xu Xin didn’t return to his villa first but went to the villa where Shi Wanyun and the others resided.

Currently, Lou Fei’Er, Shi Wanyun, Jin Yue, and Zeng Tao all live next to Xu Xin’s villa.

He needed to figure out the situation just now, lest Wenxi and Yingying worry.

Everything that happened to him just now was too fast, he practically didn’t have any reaction.

He only knew that Huihui, for some unknown reason, was attacked and spiraled down from the sky.

If he hadn’t held on tightly, he might have been thrown off directly in mid-air!

Fortunately, Huihui stabilized its form just before the fall, allowing him a bit of buffer instead of crashing directly into the ground.

But even so, the impact was still severe, and he was flung out ten meters upon Huihui’s landing and rolled another ten meters on the ground.

If his body hadn’t been through a series of enhancements, if he were an ordinary person, he’d probably be dead.

This was his first time flying on a pterosaur, and he encountered an air disaster...

But...

Xu Xin looked at Keke, who was sitting on the table nibbling an apple.

This little guy was completely unharmed, truly impressive.

"What exactly happened just now? I was in a daze, feeling a bit baffled." Xu Xin looked at the three women before him, "Judging by your expressions, you seem to know something?"

"...Let me explain." After exchanging glances for a few seconds, Shi Wanyun spoke, "We might know who just attacked you."

"Oh?" Xu Xin was very surprised, "You know who attacked me?"

He thought the three women might have seen something, but didn’t expect... they directly knew who?

Shi Wanyun immediately explained in detail what had happened over at Zone 1.

Lou Fei’Er and Jin Yue added their supplements.

Xu Xin quickly understood the whole story.

"Turns out it’s that man’s... father?" Xu Xin was truly shocked, "Found so quickly?"

Although they spent a month inside the World Tree, by external time, it hadn’t even been a day since he captured that man, and their method of catching him was very secretive, theoretically not discovered by the other party.

He initially wanted Shi Wanyun and the others to use this as leverage to lure the opponent, yet before fishing, the fish jumped onto the shore themselves?

How did they find out that man was with us?

No...

Seems like they didn’t find out at all.

"That man was influenced at Shi Wanyun’s treehouse, transported by temporal anomalies to the coastal area, and then taken away by us. His father searching for clues at Shi Wanyun’s treehouse is quite normal," Xu Xin murmured.

Lou Fei’Er nodded, "That’s what I thought too, and when we happened to be ’discussing’ matters related to the captured man, he overheard us."

If that’s the case, everything makes sense.

This truly is... a big catch!

It’s just, the fish was too big, and before it could be caught, a flick of its tail almost overturned the angler.

"But if it was him, why attack Huihui?" Xu Xin murmured, "He probably didn’t know it was me riding on Huihui?"

"Could it be he heard our discussion?" Lou Fei’Er wondered, "When we saw Huihui, we discussed it briefly, maybe he overheard?"

"No. Before Huihui was shot down, we didn’t mention Xu Xin’s name," Shi Wanyun denied, then speculated, "Could it be intimidation?"

"That doesn’t add up either," Lou Fei’Er denied her idea, "He certainly wants us to bring Xu Xin outside, intimidating would just be causing trouble, wouldn’t Xu Xin be even less willing to go out?"

"True..."

In any case, it’s quite puzzling.

Xu Xin looked at the shell in his hand.

"Let’s go to my place first. Regarding this shell, I need to ask Yingying, she should know quite a bit about it."

The three women followed Xu Xin to his villa.

Meanwhile, Li Wenxi wasn’t at the villa, only Xu Ying was sprawled on the sofa, watching a film on a nearly two-hundred-inch projection.

Watching dramas?

"Brother, you’re back?" Xu Yingg looked at everyone, "You were out for quite a while this time. You’re back too."

"It wasn’t exactly short."

Xu Xin had been out for nearly an hour, in the World Tree, four days had passed.

"Ah, Yingying, you’re living the life!" Lou Fei’Er exclaimed.
