Xu Xin walked towards the palace.
Zeng Tao and Jin Yue followed behind him.
“Keke! Keke!” Zeng Tao kept calling out Keke to the surroundings, and then complained, “Where did this little guy go?”
Xu Xin was not worried about Coco's comfort. If he was in danger, Coco would not be in danger either.
He walked towards the palace, observing its surroundings.
When he was underground before, the palace was surrounded by dense flying insects. After rising to the ground, everything was in a hurry and he had never taken a good look at the surrounding environment.
Now it seems that the area around the palace is actually very empty. In addition to the huge courtyard of the Crystal Palace itself, there is also an open area of about two hundred meters around the palace.
Come to think of it, this palace looks like the place where the supreme ruler of the entire Crystal City lives. According to normal planning, this palace would not be put together with other low crystal buildings.
However, this area is really very large.
Moreover, except for a part occupied by the previous lake, the rest of the place was fertile soil emitting blue light. Xu Xin even saw a few hints of purple light!
This is a really nice place.
He went around to the back of the palace, behind which was an open space like an empty square.
"Can we plant something here?" Zeng Tao looked at the open space around the palace, her eyes lit up, "Hey, that top-quality tree house seed! That tree house seed is just right to be planted in this area!"
really.
Xu Xin also thought of this.
The location of the palace is exactly in the center of this area. If the top-quality tree house seed can really grow into the towering tree he had seen in Shi Wanyun's image before, then this should be the most suitable location.
The Crystal City and the giant tree can also provide mutual protection.
Although he still didn't know what the use of the towering tree grown from this top-quality tree house seed would be, there would be absolutely no problem planting it in Crystal City.
As for the problem of the dense crowns of towering trees blocking light, there is no need to consider that.
The lighting in Crystal City itself is bright enough that it can be as bright as day even underground, let alone here on the ground.
The interior of this Crystal City is really suitable as their base camp.
It would be great if the tree house they live in now could be transplanted here.
Although Crystal City has strong defenses and the ability to withstand extreme weather, it does not have the various functions of the tree house itself. It would be perfect if the two could be combined.
But there is currently no way to transplant their tree house.
If the tree house could be transplanted, these explorers wouldn't have to be scattered all over Area 188 like they are now, unable to help each other in a timely manner.
… that’s not right.
The tree house seeds for the survivors were actually prepared for them by the people of that team, and this crystal city was also prepared by the same group of people.
Since the other self was planning to let Xu Xin gather everyone here, when preparing, didn't he consider how to gather the companions who were scattered everywhere
Or do they have to abandon the tree house if they want to live in this crystal city
…Other ordinary survivors might be able to do so, but he would never be able to abandon his tree house.
His tree house is the result of his hard work for so many years. The various powerful abilities in the tree house, as well as his most satisfying random amplification ability, cannot be obtained unless he falls asleep in his tree house.
Moreover, although they have now fallen out with the mysterious voice, it has been emphasizing to these survivors since they came to this world that they should not abandon their tree houses. The tree house is your only support, which still makes Xu Xin concerned.
… Let’s talk about these things later.
Calculating the time, those people should not have passed the period of rapid metabolism yet, he... Let's go take a look inside the palace first.
"This Crystal City is very safe. Why don't you go and see the places you want to see?" Xu Xin said to the two people beside him.
"You want to go to the palace, right? Let's go together," Zeng Tao said, looking at the palace, "I want to go to the palace, too! Let's see if I can go back to the past like them. I also want to see my home!"
Jin Yue on the side was a little hesitant, and finally shook her head: "I just... forget it. I won't go. I'll help you find Coco."
"Ah? Don't you want to take a look?"
"No."
Jin Yue kicked her feet and quickly moved away from the palace as if she was running away.
Looking at her like that, it seemed like she didn't want to see her family in her original world forget what she looked like.
"Well... isn't it good to take a look at your old home?" Zeng Tao asked in confusion.
"What you see is basically just an image of the past." Xu Xin sighed, and understood her feelings. "Perhaps, she doesn't want to give up the little hope in her heart."
That is the luxury of being able to return to the original world and live happily with family and friends.
"That's just running away." Zeng Tao shook her head and said, "It's better to take one last look at the past, then cheer up and look forward."
Xu Xin looked at her with some surprise.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Haha, I just didn't expect you to say something so sensible."
"…Are you praising me? Why does it sound so wrong to me?"
"Of course I'm praising you. However," Xu Xin glanced at the direction where Jin Yue was going, "you also have to consider what she has experienced in this world. Without us, this world would be like hell to her."
"Hmm... That's right."
As they were talking, they had already entered the palace and walked to the second floor.
"Well! I'll go in and try!" Zeng Tao rushed in impatiently. Xu Xin couldn't catch her at all. If he hadn't let go early, he would have been almost dragged in by her.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" He shook his head helplessly.
"It's not dangerous anyway, right?" Zeng Tao took a few steps forward, then turned back and asked doubtfully, "I don't think..."
Before she could finish her words, she just stood there in a daze.
His eyes stared blankly ahead, with nothing in them, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
"Zeng Tao?" Xu Xin called her name, but she did not respond.
His guess came true.
Sure enough, after the palace rose to the ground, the time machine began to work!
He did not enter, but stood at the second floor door, waiting quietly.
After about three minutes, Zeng Tao suddenly opened his eyes and reached forward subconsciously, but caught nothing.
She stared at her hands blankly, her mouth slowly pouted, her eyes turned red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"...Did you see our original world?" Xu Xin asked, "How long did you stay there?"
"… Three hours?" Zeng Tao looked up at him, clenching her teeth. Although her eyes were red, she didn't cry. "That world has really forgotten my existence, so there's no need for me to miss it!"
I never thought that the dumbest-looking little guy could be so strong.
She sniffed, then immediately turned around and ran to the third floor: "I'll go up and take a look!"
This was probably because she couldn't hold back her tears and didn't want Xu Xin to see it.
Xu Xin sighed.
There is no way, these are things they have to accept.
He thought about it, made preparations, and stepped into the second floor of the palace.
Do you want to turn on the time machine and travel to a specific time
At this moment, a mechanical reminder sound came to his ears.
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
Ah, he wouldn't be pulled directly into time travel!
Although he should not be able to control this Crystal Palace-style time machine now, it seems that he can choose whether to travel through time!
Not bad.
Go back and take another look
… Never mind, let’s not do it for now.
He hasn't thought about what to do yet. What if he goes back to the past and says something he shouldn't to Yingying, causing her to do something that leads to the collapse of the future
Wait until he thinks it over carefully before using this function.
He walked towards the third floor.
The third floor is still the same.
That huge door still exists.
When they left before, the door was wide open, and the purple-black energy dissipated, and the door became an ordinary door that was useless even if you walked through the door frame.
But now, it has been closed, and the ancient bronze knife key that was originally inserted in the door has disappeared.
At this time, Zeng Tao was standing in front of the door, trying to push it open.
Then, under Xu Xin's gaze, the door was slowly pushed open a crack.
In the crack of the door, a purple-black light seemed to be stirring and had already seeped out!
"Wow, it can be pushed open!" Zeng Tao said in surprise, "There are those black things inside!"
"Let go, stop pushing!" Xu Xin stopped her immediately.
“Ohhhh!”
As soon as she let go, the door slammed shut.
Xu Xin began to think.
As long as we enter this door, we should be able to reactivate the image.
Moreover, if you select different options in the questions before the image starts, you should be able to enter different images.
Of course, he is not able to choose other options now.
Apart from this, there was nothing else in the palace.
"Okay, let's go back."
"oh oh."
The two came out of the palace and walked to the treasure crystal house, and saw Jin Yue leaning against the door with Coco in her arms.
"嘤!" When Coco saw Xu Xin, she immediately jumped out of Jin Yue's arms and jumped into his arms.
"When I came back, it was already at the door of this crystal house." Jin Yue explained.
"Oh?" Xu Xin looked down at it, "Where did you go, little guy?"
“嘤…” Coco nestled in his arms and stopped crying.
… Never mind, just come back.
"What about the others?"
"They haven't come back yet... Ah, they're back." Jin Yue pointed behind Xu Xin.
Sure enough, the group of people behind me came back together.
These people were all wearing new clothes, their hair was a little wet, much longer, and obviously has been hastily cut, and everyone's skin looked extremely smooth and delicate under the sunlight and the sheen of crystal.
It seems to be basically consistent with his experience.
"How does it feel?" Xu Xin asked with a smile.
"It feels great, Brother Xin!" Wang Lei has regained his normal state of mind and patted his chest, "I feel so relaxed all over my body!"
Xu Xin took the opportunity to look at Lou Feier in the bracelet.
She was still sleeping soundly, and Qin Fu was still unconscious in his bracelet.
"Then let's discuss the matter of this seed."
Xu Xin took out the top-quality tree house seeds.
A group of people gathered together to discuss for a while, and then went to explore the area near the palace.
"Then let's plant it here?" Wen Guixin stepped on the ground and said, "This place is indeed very suitable for the growth of tree houses."
"This is the most suitable place." Ji Chaoyang nodded and said, "We don't know what the top-grade tree house will be used for after it grows up. We can only choose a relatively safe place first. If this tree is very important, it will be easier to protect it here."
"Do we need to protect giant trees?" Wang Lei gestured. "Didn't Brother Xin describe it? A tree that big would be just a tiny thing even if it was a giant, right?"
Xu Xin shook his head: "The giant tree may not need protection after it grows up, but what about during the growth process?"
Such a huge tree could not be grown in two hours like an ordinary tree house. It would probably take some time. During this time, they might need their protection.
Finally, after everyone's discussion, the planting location of the top-quality tree house seeds was determined.
It was planted in a large open space behind the Crystal Palace, about a hundred meters away from the palace.
Because they didn't know how thick the trunk of the giant tree would grow, they chose to plant it a little further away from the Crystal Palace.
“Then plant it now.”
Xu Xin no longer hesitated and immediately dug up the soil and planted the seeds.
Then, under the watchful eyes of several people, the seed broke through the soil in a few seconds and grew into a small sapling in half a minute.
Moreover, it is still growing.
“So fast!”
“It’s really fast!”
Everyone exclaimed.
This growth rate is much faster than that of a tree house!
If an ordinary tree house seed takes two hours to grow into a tree house ten to twenty meters high, this seed may only take two minutes to grow to that size!
It grows much faster than a parasitic tree house!
Sure enough, under the astonished gaze of the people around, within two minutes, the banyan tree had grown to the size of a normal tree house and was still growing!
Twenty meters... Thirty meters... Forty meters...
The tree house continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, it is not always as fast as at the beginning. After all, the banyan tree is now very thick. If it wants to grow one centimeter taller, it will consume much more energy than at the beginning.
Of course, even if the rate slowed down, growth did not stop.
"At this rate, perhaps in a few days, this tree will be able to grow into a towering tree!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.
Xu Xin walked forward and reached out to touch the tree trunk, which was still growing slowly and whose patterns were slowly changing.
Young World Tree: A growing young world tree. Although it is still growing, its roots have already penetrated deeply into the ground and continue to extend to farther locations. Any tree house can be transplanted at will on the land affected by the roots of the young world tree, and the growth rate of the plants will be greatly improved.
The young World Tree is very fragile. Any attack will damage it, slow down its growth, or even destroy it. Before it grows to 200 meters high, make sure it is not harmed!
Xu Xin's eyes widened immediately, and then he smiled: "So, transplanting the tree house depends on you?"
"What's wrong, Brother Xin, what did you see?" Wang Lei asked curiously behind him.
Xu Xin immediately told them the situation, and then smiled and said, "We can finally be real neighbors."
Everyone else was pleasantly surprised.
"This is too good to be true!" Wen Guixin said in surprise.
"Oh my god, what a sudden surprise!" Wang Lei laughed.
"World Tree? This sounds so exaggerated. Did we plant something super powerful?" Zeng Tao also ran to Xu Xin to touch the tree trunk.
"Let's all move to Crystal City! It's extremely safe here!" Zhao Xiaochuan clapped his hands.
"I'm going to go back and tell those people. They won't know how happy they are!" Qin Yunlong was about to rush back immediately.
"My tree house... is too small, I can't move it..." Zeng Tao said.
Ji Chaoyang also smiled and said, "We can move to this Crystal City. This is the best news today."
Just as they were cheering and preparing to head back, the mysterious voice suddenly came to their ears again.
Warning to all survivors: the survivors in Area 188 have violated the rules again, and the siege of the World Tree will begin immediately!
This sound immediately startled everyone.
What
World Tree Siege!
