Lou Fei’Er also leaned out of the window.
The sound of the portal exit was obvious; not to mention her, even Ma Hongwei two or three hundred meters away could probably hear the sound of the portal.
"Come on in, it’s so cold outside."
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi both quickened their pace.
Entering Lou Fei’Er’s treehouse, the two let out a long sigh of relief.
Around this parasitic treehouse, there’s also about a ten-meter area where the temperature is above freezing. His Scale Armor can withstand this temperature. This range is similar to the plantable area.
Although the parasitic treehouse lacks a core, it can borrow power from the main treehouse through its roots, so the temperature around the parasitic treehouse is also maintained above freezing.
Xu Xin looked out the window. The banyan tree planted last night still needed an hour to mature. Now it had become lush and green, with its vibrant green canopy covered in snow.
It seems it’s still capable of growing.
"Wow, what’s cooking here, steaks?" Li Wenxi was already attracted by the dishes on the dining table. She released Xu Xin’s arm and walked to the table.
Xu Xin also looked over. On the table were five portions of steak that looked tender and juicy, emitting a mouth-watering aroma that made him involuntarily swallow.
Each steak portion was paired with a glass of freshly squeezed juice, which was visually appetizing.
This level of cooking was indeed much better than his.
"I thought you all had many people coming, so I prepared a few extra portions," Lou Fei’Er glanced outside again, "Since no one else is here, it’ll just be the three of us."
"Yip!" Keke let out a sound, indicating it wanted to eat too.
"Alright, alright, I’ll give you a portion, but you have to let me pet you."
"Yip? Yip!" Keke nodded, agreeing to the deal.
Looking at the snowy scene outside, the three enjoyed the feast.
"Ah, I’m stuffed!" Li Wenxi patted her slightly bulging belly, leaning back in her chair, "I ate too much..."
"Who told you to eat so much," Xu Xin said helplessly. She also ate the extra steak, more than even he had.
"But, Fei’er’s roast steak is so delicious!"
"Yip..." Keke also lay on the table, with its little belly exposed, making a noise to support Li Wenxi’s claim.
"See, I’m a great cook!" Lou Fei’Er shot Xu Xin a proud glance, as if to say, "I told you, your roasted meat is mediocre, believe it now?"
Li Wenxi showed a satisfied smile, resting her head on Xu Xin’s arm, whispering, "If only it could always be ..."
If only, if they could always live in this world, it wouldn’t be...
"Huh?" Xu Xin’s eyes twitched slightly.
A faint unusual sound entered his ears.
Just when he was thinking about how great it would be if it could always be , a strange sound came to his ears...
Xu Xin’s exclamation made Li Wenxi and Lou Fei’Er look at him.
"Everyone, be quiet," Xu Xin squinted his eyes, listening intently.
The sound was faint but continuous, very strange yet somewhat familiar...
A map appeared in his mind, and there were still no red dots on it.
At this moment, Ji Chaoyang, among the explorers, spoke up, "There’s something unusual around my treehouse, a very strange sound. Everyone, be careful; danger might be approaching. Stay alert. By the way, Xu Xin, can you see anything on your map?"
He could hear the sound too?
It seems he, like me, has a decoration level over 500, so he also gained the ability to choose a historical enhancement and chose to enhance hearing as well. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Xu Xin immediately responded, "For now, I haven’t discovered anything here, but I can indeed hear strange sounds. Everyone, be cautious!"
He also posted the message in the regional channel, as did Ji Chaoyang.
When the two bosses spoke simultaneously, those in the regional channel who were previously discussing how deep the snow was and how fun it would be to roll in it suddenly became tense.
"So quickly? It’s not even eight yet! Isn’t it usually nine when it starts?"
"Are you still in the first phase? This is the second phase, so there’s no exact time!"
"Last time the beast tide hit, it wasn’t at nine. It was six in the morning, if I remember, so I got up early today, but it still hasn’t come."
"What sound are they talking about? Why can’t I hear it? Are the bosses’ hearing abilities even better than ours?"
"Isn’t it obvious their hearing is better? Those are the top two bosses of the entire region. I would even believe if they said they could transform into Ultraman!"
"My crossbow is itching for a fight!"
"Strange sound?" Li Wenxi and Lou Fei’Er looked at each other. The two of them didn’t hear any sound.
"Alright." Xu Xin stood up, "If anything happens, you’d better go back and protect your treehouse."
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi immediately nodded and stood up, curiously asking, "Why can you hear that sound, but we can’t? Is it a special sound?"
Lou Fei’Er wasn’t surprised; she had long been aware of Xu Xin’s exaggerated hearing.
If it weren’t for Xu Xin’s powerful hearing abilities, she wouldn’t have been captured as she was now.
