World Tree Siege...
Did the other party know that they had planted the seeds of this top-quality tree house
Dear survivors from outside Zone 188, at this moment... you...
The mysterious sound in my ears suddenly became intermittent, and became quieter and quieter, until it could no longer be heard.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred, making everyone feel nervous and confused at the same time.
But then they understood.
"Isn't this because they don't want us in District 188 to hear it?" Wen Guixin rubbed her ears and asked, "Are they only assigning tasks to people in other areas?"
That should be it.
Judging from the name of the event mentioned by the mysterious voice just now, World Tree Siege, they may want to borrow the power of survivors from other areas to destroy the World Tree that has not yet fully grown.
After all, judging from various previous situations, these alien invaders seemed to have some concerns about taking action against them personally. Since they couldn't take action personally, they might as well provoke a civil war!
Everyone present immediately opened their watches and began to check the situation on the world channel.
But the world channel cannot be opened.
That’s right, no matter how you click on the world channel, you cannot open the previous chat page.
"Damn it, the world channel is banned?" Zhao Xiaochuan cursed, "What's going on? Cutting off our communication, are they really going to let the survivors in other areas besiege us?!"
"But..." Qin Yunlong was puzzled, "How can other areas that are so far away besiege us?"
"Teleport?" Wang Lei speculated as he looked at the purple-black light column arch bridge erected in the sky.
"Teleport? Teleport those people here to die?" Wen Guixin rolled her eyes, "Those people are just ordinary humans, right? Sending them here would be less threatening than having one more wild beast."
"No." Ji Chaoyang shook his head. "You can't underestimate humans. After all, the strongest part of humans is not their physical strength, but..."
"Wisdom." Xu Xin took over the conversation and frowned.
"What do you mean?" Zeng Tao looked at them in confusion. "They are smarter than wild animals, so what's the use?"
It’s hard for Xu Xin to say now, but... these survivors from the outer areas will definitely get some help.
For example, they could distribute some props with strange functions from their 188th District and the unusable points mall, or...
Make the blood-marked mutants stop attacking them and... assist them.
Xu Xin's idea surprised everyone.
"No way? You mean, these survivors become the commanders of the blood-marked creatures? Just like those... furry monsters?" Wang Lei laughed twice, "This is a bit outrageous..."
"No, it's still possible." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "In fact, I have the same guess. Besides, aren't those furry monsters also transformed from humans?"
Everyone was speechless.
At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan was surprised and said, "Fuck, look, the alliance channel can still be opened, and these people in District 1 seem to have been... affected by us?"
What
Everyone immediately turned to the alliance channel.
Sure enough, the alliance channel was in chaos.
Many survivors from Zone 1 complained in there.
"Why did that voice just now disappear in the middle of its speech?"
"Brothers, what's going on now? I'm so confused!"
"Why can't the world channel be opened?"
"Not only the world channel, but also the points mall cannot be opened!"
"We are the same!" This is what a survivor from Area 188 said, "We are also very confused!"
"Didn't you say something like Crystal City or something? What on earth did the elders from District 188 do? Why haven't you given an explanation yet?"
"We are now tied to District 188! Because we are allies now!"
"Fuck, what the hell is going on? People from District 188, come out and explain, what is the World Tree? Are we responsible for besieging it or protecting it? Is this going to start a civil war?"
"We don't know either. The explorers' elders haven't come out to explain. I'm on Elder Xu Xin's side. We only know what we've told you before. It seems that the elders have entered Crystal City to explore. You should wait for news from the elders."
"This is really..."
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched slightly.
It turns out that District 1 is the same as them
He originally wanted to go back to find Shi Wanyun immediately. By this time, her explosive mode had passed and she had entered a weak period. The risk factor was also greatly reduced. It was a good time to interrogate her.
But now it seems that as a survivor of Area 1, Shi Wanyun, like Area 188, knows nothing about the situation this time.
… But she had been to that giant tree in the other hemisphere, so she must know something.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "Zeng Tao, Jin Yue, you two are here to protect this young world tree. If you find anything, contact me immediately. The rest of us should quickly return to our tree house territories to check the situation!"
Even if the survivors in other areas don’t know how to besiege them, a beast tide is still likely to come!
… At a time like this, without Wen Xi’s logistical support, I feel a little guilty.
It should be okay for Wen Xi to be with Yingying, right
"Okay!" Zeng Tao and Jin Yue nodded immediately.
"Just what I want!"
"That's what I thought!"
The other members of the explorers also agreed.
In order to bring everyone back as quickly as possible, Xu Xin directly put everyone's bracelets on, then released the Silver King, rushed back to the tree house at high speed, and then released the others.
Everyone teleported back to their tree houses.
Ji Chaoyang did not rush back, but looked around Xu Xin's tree house, and then asked Xu Xin: "Can your map ability detect anything unusual around you?"
Xu Xin shook his head: "Not yet."
He patted Coco's little head in his arms: "Coco, did you find anything?"
"Hmm." Coco meant nothing.
Ji Chaoyang looked at the purple-black light column in other directions, touched his chin and thought: "From the fact that the mysterious voice just now was originally directed at us but suddenly disappeared, it can be seen that they initiated this activity in a hurry, so this situation occurred. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if we didn't hear it?"
That's true.
Xu Xin nodded.
"So, even if they come to besiege the young world tree, it should take some time to prepare." Ji Chaoyang speculated, "This period of preparation may not be short."
"you mean… "
"Perhaps we can use this time to quickly transplant all of our tree houses... to Crystal City."
… Is this still possible!
He had just been thinking about Shi Wanyun's affairs and had not thought about this aspect.
but…
Xu Xin thought about the possibilities.
"Would it be dangerous if it attacked suddenly..."
"But if it succeeds, our security will be almost perfectly guaranteed."
He is right.
Right now, the most lethal factors for the survivors are probably the herds of beasts and extreme weather, but...
It seems that Crystal City can help them defend against all of these
"... If possible, can we transplant their parasitic tree houses first?" Xu Xin suggested.
Send these people in first. They have their own abilities and are not afraid of anything.
"Okay. I just want you to go find Shi Wanyun to ask about the situation. Let us handle the transplanting. I'll see how to transplant the tree house, and you can go do your work first."
"good."
It’s easier to talk to smart people. He has too many things to do right now, so let them take care of the transplant first.
"By the way," Ji Chaoyang turned to him before teleporting away, "Qin Fu is awake, and Lou Feier should be awake soon too."
oh
The purple-black vortex swallowed Ji Chaoyang, and Xu Xin immediately turned the bracelet to release the two.
Qin Fu woke up as expected, and he was looking at Lou Feier in amazement.
At this moment, Lou Feier was no longer as weak as before, her face was even rosy and her expression was relaxed, but...
Her hair had grown extremely long and her skin had become wrinkled and somewhat scary.
When Qin Fu came out, he was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Lou Feier and turned to Xu Xin and said, "Boss, what is she doing..."
People who don't know the truth would indeed feel a little horrified when seeing Lou Feier's appearance at this moment.
"Hmm..." Lou Feier slowly opened her eyes, sat up from the ground, and then rubbed her eyes.
It wouldn't matter if you didn't rub it, but once you rubbed it, her eyelids fell down.
"Hiss—" Qin Fu took a breath of cold air, "This... Is this person suffering from some infectious disease?"
He immediately took several steps back.
"Ah!" Lou Feier also screamed and jumped up, scratching her face, and the result was...
"Ah!" She screamed even louder, causing Shi Wanyun in the tree house nearby to stick her head out and look over here.
"It's okay, this is what happened." Xu Xin explained briefly.
"Ah... I see." Lou Feier immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then covered her face and rushed to her tree house, "I'll go back and tidy it up! Ah!"
Then she almost tripped over her hair, which was longer than her height. She could only pull up her hair, quicken her pace, rush back to her tree house, and quickly return to the tree house.
"There is such a good thing..." Qin Fu murmured in surprise as he watched Lou Fei'er disappear. Then he turned to look at Xu Xin, "Boss, is there a share for me? I think I helped you a lot this time, right?"
By the way, he still didn’t know what this guy had experienced underground and why he was unconscious next to the giant gate.
"How are you recovering now?"
"Well, I feel refreshed after a good sleep. Although I'm still weak, I can still carry out normal activities." Qin Fu rubbed his temples.
"Is it really entering a period of weakness?"
Xu Xin glanced in the direction of the tree house where Shi Wanyun was.
She was still looking over here, and when she saw Xu Xin looking at her, she smiled and turned her head back.
Xu Xin frowned.
The first time you enter the weakness period, you should be so weak that you can’t even stand up, right
She does have a problem, so she still needs to be careful.
Since Lou Feier has woken up and looks in excellent condition, let's take her to find Shi Wanyun.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Xin asked Qin Fu: "What did you experience underground?"
"Um… "
Qin Fu briefly recounted his experience.
The initial experience was actually the same as Zeng Taojinyue and others.
However, Qin Fu arrived early and had already entered the central palace before Xu Xin went underground to activate the entire crystal city.
What happened later was pretty much what Xu Xin had imagined.
Although the palace was still a stone palace at that time, it still had various mechanisms. Although Qin Fu's mental power was strong, he was still unable to defend himself. He was attacked at the fourth mechanism and suffered fatal injuries.
Fortunately, his passive burst state allowed him to recover. His mental strength was greatly enhanced again, and with his super reaction ability, he crossed all the mechanisms and reached the third floor.
"The mechanism at the entrance steps to the third floor almost killed me..." Qin Fu thought of the situation at that time, and his mouth twitched. "Fortunately, my mental strength was very strong at that time, and my luck was better. Although I was seriously injured, I still got through. The mechanism in that palace is really outrageous."
When he arrived at the third floor, he saw the door. At that moment, he immediately thought of the ancient bronze knife he had given to Xu Xin.
Coincidentally, Xu Xin also called at that time, so he wanted to tell Xu Xin about his situation in the palace, but the voice was intermittent and basically did not convey anything.
"That's basically it." Qin Fu shrugged, then smiled and said, "I can be considered a hero this time. Without me exploring, you wouldn't be able to find the place."
In terms of results, it is true.
If he hadn't insisted on going out to explore and then disappeared, Xu Xin and the others wouldn't have gone out to look for him, nor would they have found such a place in the underground world.
Moreover, he was the one who brought back the ancient bronze sword.
By the way... he brought back the ancient bronze knife from the altar...
There is also an altar on Ji Chaoyang's side.
Could it be that... there are some secrets hidden underground over there
However, this matter can only be discussed after this disaster is over.
At this time, Lou Feier swung down from her tree house and walked over: "Why are you standing here? Are you waiting for me?"
She had already cleaned up everything by now, and her skin became as smooth as everyone else's.
She herself is very satisfied with her current image, with a smile in her eyes.
"Well, come with me to find Shi Wanyun. Qin Fu, you go back and rest first."
“… Oh, okay.”
Hearing Shi Wanyun's name, Qin Fu raised his eyebrows.
He glanced at the tree house where Shi Wanyun had just appeared, but he didn't ask any further questions. He showed an expression of some interest, turned around and walked towards his own tree house.
Lou Feier also followed Xu Xin and walked towards Shi Wanyun's tree house.
"What do you think now?"
"Hmm? I feel great." Lou Feier touched her face and said with satisfaction, "My skin has really improved a lot!"
"… "
"Ah, you're asking me what I want to do now? Just like before." Lou Feier glanced at him and smiled teasingly, "If you still want to be my master, I'd be happy to do that."
Xu Xin shook his head.
Looks like there's no need to worry about this guy.
I really didn't expect that she had stopped being affected by Xu Xin's words a long time ago, but she pretended so well that she always obeyed him and did whatever he said, which made him never doubt her.
"Anyway, just treat me as I am before. There is no difference. I am going to stay here anyway." Lou Feier kicked a stone and said, "You are the strongest survivor. If I don't follow you, who should I follow?"
Xu Xin smiled: "Okay, then come with me to find Shi Wanyun now, and remember to pay attention to her actions. She may not have entered the weak period."
"Okay, I got it!"
The two came under the tree house, and Xu Xin directly controlled the roots of the tree house and brought the two in.
Shi Wanyun was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time and was not surprised at all by the two people coming in.
She smiled softly and said, "It is not polite to enter a weak woman's room without saying hello."
"Weak woman? Are you talking about you?" Lou Feier walked forward, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her.
Shi Wanyun was immediately pushed onto the bed and let out a muffled groan.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
It seems that she is indeed in a weak state
Or are you just pretending
He walked over and sat on the chair beside the bed: "You should know what I'm here for. Tell me everything you know."
Shi Wanyun struggled to get up from the bed and said softly, "Before that, can I ask you a question?"
"you say."
She looked at Xu Xin and Lou Fei'er, "Why have you two changed so much, and..."
She pointed at Lou Feier's collarbone and asked, "Why is the blood streak on her chest gone?"
Shi Wanyun's clothes were relatively low on her chest at this time, and large areas of her snow-white skin and the bloodstains printed on it could be seen.
Lou Feier glanced at Xu Xin, and when she saw Xu Xin nodded, she immediately raised her hand, and the blood lines on the back of her hand and wrist had completely disappeared: "Because, I injected a genetic drug."
"Gene medicine?" Shi Wanyun's eyes moved.
"This genetic medicine is the most powerful treasure left in the Crystal City. It is a medicine that can completely remove the control of the blood veins." Lou Feier said, pulling her collar again and showing it to Shi Wanyun, "After injecting this medicine, the blood vein mutation will disappear directly from the body. Well... but unfortunately, the power brought by the blood veins will also disappear."
As she spoke, she sighed, her expression slightly regretful: "Now, I am just an ordinary person."
Xu Xin's eyes moved.
Lou Feier is lying. Is she helping him test Shi Wanyun
Saying that you are an ordinary person is probably to lower the other person's vigilance.
He didn't say anything, but looked at Shi Wanyun's reaction.
"The blood pattern mutation will disappear directly?" Shi Wanyun opened her eyes, "Wait... In other words, you will not be controlled by Xu Xin now?"
"Of course, the blood pattern mutation has disappeared, how can I be controlled." Lou Feier adjusted her collar, "But I still have to listen to him. I am an ordinary person now. If he is unhappy, I will be miserable. I feel worse than before..."
"… Whether it's ordinary or not is not the point!" Shi Wanyun's voice suddenly became louder. "Are you serious? Can you really make the blood vein mutation in the body disappear directly and not be controlled?"
"You've seen it all, haven't you?" Lou Fei'er tugged at her collar. "Why, do you want me to take off all my clothes for you to see? Do I need to lie to you?"
"..." Shi Wanyun's throat moved, and she slowly turned her head to look at Xu Xin, "How many of these medicines do you have left?"
"Why, you want it?" Xu Xin looked at her.
"… If you really have this medicine and inject it into me, I promise that I will tell you everything I know." Shi Wanyun stared at him and spoke clearly, word by word.
…Is that really the case
It seems that she was really controlled by those creatures on the back of the planet.
This attempt was very successful.
