Digging to Survive: I Can See Hints

After Klein finished studying, he took a look at the synthesis list.

The Perfect Runic Greenhouse was 20 meters long, three meters wide, and two meters tall.

It needed 3 earth runes, 1 fire runes, 2 water runes, 20 wood, and 20 iron.

The planting shed occupied a relatively large area.

It definitely wouldn’t work on the second floor.

It could only be placed in the runic base on the first floor. Now that it was more than 20 meters wide and long, it could accommodate a planting friend.

However, it was a little ugly and took up a lot of space.

Klein placed quite a number of items on the first floor of the runic base, including the vegetables and food he had gathered in the previous catacombs. All of them were on the first floor.

The second floor was relatively clean and belonged to the living area. No one wanted to live in a mess.

They were all piled up on the first floor. It was better to be out of sight. Now that he had the wine starter, he could brew Rice Wine at noon. Klein put away all the items.

The biggest harvest from unpacking this time was the greenhouse. He had also harvested a batch of seeds from the vegetables excavated in the previous catacombs. It was just enough to plant them.

However, if it was just reclamation, a single greenhouse was still insufficient.

He could only wait until the runic base was upgraded again before he considered expanding the greenhouse. The prerequisite was that the base’s area could be expanded again after it was upgraded.

He went to the next catacomb.

Klein had five excavations left for the day. It was almost lunchtime, so he planned to dig another catacomb. If the terrain was suitable, he would choose to camp here. Most of the ground here was covered in lava, so the runic base couldn’t be expanded.

[If you digging upwards, you will break into the Fire Ants’ nest. Although they cannot harm you, they will do damage the runic base.]

[There is a xenogeneic in the catacomb on the left.]

[Be careful. The nearby Withered Vine Monsters are hiding in the bushes, waiting for the greedy fish to take the bait.]

[In the catacomb on the right, a few kobolds are preparing lunch. You can rush in to snatch their lunch and starve them.]

He wouldn’t get anything if he dug forward, but if he dug backward, he would get a few wooden treasure chests.

Klein decisively chose the left. There was another xenogeneic. Whether it was for sale or for his own use, it was extremely valuable.

Looking at the information on the Withered Vine Monster, Klein opened the illustration, and the results came out.

[Withered Vine Monster: Looks like a bunch of creeping creatures. They often lurk in the bushes, waiting for creatures to approach them. Then, they will use the iron-woven withered vines to entangle the creatures, dragging them into the bushes, and strangling them alive before sucking their blood.]

[Ability: Five Whips of Lightning.]

[Weakness: Fear of fire.]

[Danger Factor: 32]

[Five Whips of Lightning: Quickly swing the vine to strike five times in a breath. It also has a paralyzing effect. Lasts for one second. Cooldown time: 60 minutes.]

Since the Withered Vine was afraid of fire, everything was easy.

Klein took out his shovel and dug 30 meters.

The tunnel was dug through.

A man and two beasts entered the next catacomb.

The 47th catacomb.

Klein thought to himself.

In front of him was an open plain.

There were many crushed stones inside.

There was a protruding stone pillar in the middle. If nothing went wrong, the xenogeneic must be above it.

Apart from a few bushes, there was nothing else nearby.

Was the Withered Vine Monster hiding inside? It looked like walking towards the xenogeneic to the bushes would block the way.

Klein stopped in his tracks. He was ten meters away from the bushes. Even at such a close distance, he was unable to find the location of the Withered Vine Monster. Its disguise was too brilliant.

Klein was careful that there was a Withered Vine Monster lurking inside. He only knew that there was a problem after checking the hint. Boom!

The Firestorm Saber ignited as Klein slowly approached.

Less than five meters away, a reptile covered in withered rattan jumped out from the bushes. It wasn’t attacking Klein, but it was fleeing backward.

Soon, Withered Vine Monsters began to flee from a few bushes.

There was no need for Klein to make a move. The high temperature of the Firestorm Saber was enough to intimidate.

‘That scary?’

Klein laughed.

Without needing him to personally make a move, the Withered Vine Monsters had already fled. They huddled in a corner far away to guard against him.

At the same time, they made some strange sounds, as though they were threatening Klein to not act rashly.

Klein continued to check every bush to see that there was no longer any danger. It reminded him of the plants that looked like bushes. The branches were full, and the bright red fruits were indeed tempting.

If one didn’t know the truth, it was easy to fall for it. Then, they would be ambushed by the Withered Vine Monster, which looked like a bunch of twirling vines. Many vines were intertwined together.

Their eyes were so red that they hid in the shrub. Their eyes were no different from fruits, allowing them to hide very well.

“Little Fox, Little Wind, help me keep an eye on the inventory.”

Klein planned to finish collecting the xenogeneic and plants first.

The stone pillar was three meters tall, and the xenogeneic was at the top.

Klein flew into the air, took out his dagger, and slowly dug.

Half a minute later, the system reminded him to add as many xenogeneics as possible.

Klein was stunned.

A high-quality xenogeneic.

The previous xenogeneic was only at the ordinary level.

A high-quality xenogeneic could be implanted into a living crypt creature and create a body.

As long as it was watered every day, an endless amount of meat could be produced, and the fresh meat produced would greatly increase in taste.

Unlike ordinary xenogeneics, a high-quality xenogeneic could improve the taste of meat.

‘That’s right. A second meat field should be set up today.’

Klein especially went to check the teardrop bushes on the ground.
