Li Wenxi's voice actually came from the crystal ball!
The voice was so loud that Lou Feier and Jin Yue also heard it. They immediately turned around and looked at Xu Xin in surprise.
When the small crystal ball made a sound, the white light became brighter, and at the same time a warm feeling emanated from it and passed into Xu Xin's palm.
"Wenxi?" Xu Xin asked hurriedly, "Where are you now, Wenxi?"
However, Li Wenxi's voice in the crystal ball did not respond to his question, but continued to talk to itself.
"Well, I'm really sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. But I can't tell you why. Besides, I'm very busy right now. I didn't run away!"
"Wen Xi?" Xu Xin tried to call out.
"I can't contact you now, so I can only communicate with you in this way."
"Ah, this is a recording." Lou Feier turned her head to look at the pearl in Xu Xin's hand.
Xu Xin was a little disappointed. He thought that this crystal ball was used for communication...
But you're also right, if you can communicate, why not just use a watch.
Li Wenxi's voice continued to be heard, and the crystal ball flickered with the volume of the voice.
"Well, first of all, you don't have to worry about my safety. I am very safe now, safer than before! I chose to leave on my own."
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm not leaving you, I'm just here to help."
Well, it was basically the same as what he had thought before.
"I followed your sister. You know this, right? She is also safe. You don't have to worry."
"Well... I also heard about what happened over there. Yingying told me. I know that you have a crystal city, and I also know that you are now besieged by survivors from other areas."
"I'm really sorry that I'm not here at this critical moment... But I can't go back now, I'm..."
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't talk too much! You can't tell him about us! Otherwise, if those people... we will be finished!"
Suddenly, Yingying's voice rang out from the crystal ball.
Xu Xin was slightly startled when he suddenly heard Yingying's voice.
This sound...
Compared to the familiar voice of Yingying that he saw when he traveled back to the past through time, this voice was closer to the voice of Yingying in the image who had lived for hundreds of years.
Although still very energetic, his voice and tone have become slightly more mature.
It seems that he guessed right about this. Yingying should have been in this world for some time. She... has grown up.
Could she really be one of the survivors from before
If we calculate based on the twelve-year interval between each group of survivors...
Yingying might be older than herself.
… This feeling is really a bit subtle.
"Ah... Then I..." Li Wenxi's voice was a little hesitant, "Then what should I say?"
"You just want to tell my brother that you're safe, right? Is that enough? Don't say anything else. How about this? I'll give you this crystal bead right now!"
"Hey, hey, don't! Um... Um...! I may need to stay here for a while, um, that is... If you are not busy, you can come find me yourself! We are now..."
"Sister-in-law! What do you want to say now?"
"Oh, I know! You're interrupted. Let me think about it!"
“… Wow, should I not have agreed to this? I’m so panicked…” Xu Ying’s voice sounded a little helpless.
The corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched slightly.
The thing Yingying promised should be that Wen Xi would leave him a message.
Perhaps Wen Xi was unable to contact him, but strongly requested to contact this side to report safety. Xu Ying had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and got a small crystal ball to pass the message.
"Well, well..." Li Wenxi's voice came again after a few seconds, "I can't communicate with you now, but if you can come to my place, the communication should not be affected, right? Anyway, come to me when you are free, the things here will definitely surprise you!"
"Okay, end-"
Yingying's voice suddenly stopped, and the crystal bead immediately dimmed and turned into a...
A normal...somewhat transparent milky stone
"Ah, is this the end?" Lou Feier asked in confusion while observing the mutant creatures outside, "It seems like she said something, but it also seems like... she didn't say anything? She just asked you to go find her?"
"... At least, I don't have to worry about her safety all the time." Jin Yue said softly.
Xu Xin was turning the crystal ball in his hand, which had lost its function and turned into an ordinary stone. His eyes were fixed on the mutant creature gate outside which had begun to move and was slowly approaching the Crystal City, but in his heart he was thinking about the information he had just received.
Wen Xi is safe now, which really calms his uneasy heart. Although he has been convincing himself that Wen Xi and Yingying are safe before, he is finally sure now.
and…
The message she just left herself was not just to let him know she was safe.
This message revealed two pieces of information.
The first news is that she probably won’t be able to come back for a long time.
She knew better than anyone that the explorers were very busy, especially now, when they might not even have time to rest at night.
Under such circumstances, she still asked Xu Xin to find her, which only meant that at least she had no way to come back now, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back.
As for the reason... Xu Xin couldn't figure it out for the time being.
The second piece of news was what she revealed to herself in a vague way.
For some reason, Yingying didn't let her reveal any information about that side. She had no choice but to pass the information to Xu Xin in a special way.
I can't communicate with you now, but if you can find me, the communication should not be affected, right
The superficial meaning of this sentence seems to be that her current watch cannot contact Xu Xin, but if Xu Xin comes to her place and they are in the same area, the watches should be able to communicate with each other.
It was a meaningless sentence, like nonsense spoken hastily at Yingying's urging.
but…
Is this really the case
When she said this, her tone became slightly heavier, as if she was conveying some message to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
… He seemed to understand.
Maybe she wanted to tell him...
Where she was now, she had no way of communicating with the outside world.
But if Xu Xin arrived there, he would be able to communicate with the outside world and would not be affected.
That's probably what she meant, to hint at her current position.
And where is it that Li Wenxi cannot communicate, but he can
…it’s obvious.
Underground world!
Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang and six other people who had experienced the exploration of the underground world were awarded a title.
Junior Underground World Explorer
A title that had basically not been used since he left the underworld.
The introduction of this title is also very simple.
Survivors with this title will no longer be attacked by lower creatures in the underground world. At the same time, no matter where they are in the underground world, as long as they have communication equipment, they will not lose contact with the outside world.
Now, even if they are in the underground world, they can still communicate with the outside world!
Li Wenxi, who did not enter the underground world with them to explore, did not have this title, so if she was in the underground world, she would have no way of contacting the outside world.
Li Wenxi knew about the title, and it was he who told Li Wenxi at that time.
At that time, she also said that if she wanted to go to the underground world in the future, she must let Xu Xin go with her.
Therefore, if Xu Xin's idea was correct, then Li Wenxi should be hinting to him that her current location was in the underground world!
She is actually in the underground world now!
Xu Xin was shocked by his own thoughts.
Wasn’t she taken away by Yingying
Why did Yingying take her to the underground world
Is there any place in the underground world that needs Wen Xi's help
If Yingying is a survivor among the previous batches of survivors, does it mean that the first batches of survivors are now gathered in the underground world to survive and need Li Wenxi to provide resources and help
etc…
survivor
Xu Xin suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Suddenly, a somewhat outrageous guess came into his mind.
The underground world
In addition to the exaggerated blood-marked beasts in the underground world, there is also a group that he has always been concerned about.
That group... of human survivors who were sent underground thousands of years ago and have been multiplying since then!
Those survivors have been living underground for thousands of years!
After a thousand years of reproduction, he didn't know how many human survivors there were or what condition they were in, but he learned from another self that those people had not been discovered and were living well underground.
At that time, the other self also said that this group of people also worshipped Xu Xin, who had appeared in different time periods and helped them, as their god. They also erected a statue for him, which has been passed down for thousands of years.
Could it be that...
Wen Xi and Ying Ying, are they with this group of people now? !
Is Wen Xi now helping this group of human survivors who have survived for thousands of years
He thought about what Li Yajun had told him.
Yingying whispered a few words in Wenxi's ear, and Wenxi was extremely shocked. He then pulled Yingying into the room to have a private chat, and even went into the bathroom to take a shower with her whom he had just met.
Then the two of them kept talking in the room for more than an hour. Then, just before Xu Xin was about to come back, Wen Xi avoided meeting him and voluntarily followed Yingying away.
…If Wen Xi had learned the truth about this world from Yingying at that time, and also knew that there was a group of human survivors in this world who needed her help, would she have gone
If Yingying told her that she couldn't tell anyone about this group of human survivors, otherwise the information would be leaked and this group of human survivors who had survived for thousands of years would be massacred by alien invaders again...
Will she just leave without saying goodbye
… Everything seemed to be coming together.
This speculation is very reasonable from beginning to end.
… Is this the truth
Or maybe he was overthinking it
If this is true, how did his sister Xu Ying get together with this group of human survivors
His mind was a little confused, Xu Xin took a deep breath and shook his head.
"嘤?" Coco tilted her little head and looked at him.
"... Little guy, where did you get this crystal bead?" Xu Xin turned his head to look at Coco on his shoulder, his voice somewhat unfriendly.
Judging from the information in the crystal bead, this bead was brought up by Yingying.
Yingying brought it up and gave it to Keke, and then Keke passed the bead to him
This little guy is mysterious all day long, and now he is actually in contact with his sister Xu Ying!
It turns out that it kept disappearing today because it went to look for Yingying
Are they teaming up to play a trick on him
Xu Xin became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He grabbed the little guy by the scruff of his neck and held him in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes: "Little guy, tell me, where did you meet Yingying?"
“Bing!” Coco didn’t tilt her head and act dumb as he imagined. Instead, she cried out, with her little paw pointing directly in one direction, “Bing ing ing!”
oh
Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
Is this giving him directions
"Xu Xin!" At this time, Lou Feier suddenly shouted vigilantly, "This group of mutant creatures have returned to normal! They are about to surround us!"
Xu Xin's heart suddenly tightened.
Deal with current matters first!
He put Coco on his shoulder: "Coco, when this is over, take me to where you two are going to meet."
"嘤!" Coco nodded her head and agreed.
"You two, don't even think about attacking!" Xu Xin immediately calmed himself down and focused all his attention on the current situation. Seeing that Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue were ready to fight, he immediately said in a deep voice, "There are too many of them and the range is too wide. It's useless for you to attack!"
He only brought the two fastest men out for reconnaissance, and had no intention of fighting in this location.
If Crystal City had walls and gates, then they could indeed guard the gates.
But the fact is no, Crystal City is open to the outside world as a whole.
There is no point in fighting here. Killing as many mutant creatures as possible will only be a drop in the bucket. Large numbers of mutant creatures will still invade the city.
Therefore, the mission of him, Lou Feier and Jin Yue was very simple, which was to observe what changes these creatures would undergo after entering the city, and whether their minds would really be affected as Yingying said in the video.
If we cannot influence them, then the real battlefield will be next to the World Tree.
Only by narrowing the range can they defend better!
Ma Hongwei and Qin Fu were ready in their tree houses. They could control the heavy crossbows in the tree houses at any time to carry out carpet bombing all around the World Tree!
He left Zeng Tao and Mimi there not only to look after Shi Wanyun, but also to allow them to join the battle immediately if anything happened.
"Let's go to the high ground. It's easier to observe from there, and we won't be attacked directly!"
Xu Xin pointed to the only two-story crystal building nearby.
"good!"
Jin Yue jumped directly on the spot and easily leaped onto the top of the building.
Xu Xin and Lou Feier climbed up easily.
The three of them stood on a crystal building about seven or eight meters high, nervously observing the situation of the herd.
The beasts at this time seemed to have noticed the difference in the Crystal City. From the initial orderliness, they became a little chaotic.
Some hesitated at the edge of the city, while others seemed impatient to enter the city.
But it seems... they are all restraining themselves.
"They are being controlled." At this time, Jin Yue suddenly spoke, her expression solemn, "Someone is directing this battle."
"Yeah, I think so too." Lou Feier nodded. "If they were not being controlled, they would have rushed in like a swarm. After all, most of them are low-level mutants and are easily impulsive. How could they be as quiet as they are now?"
Being controlled
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
A furry weirdo
Or... survivors from other regions
Suddenly, the herd moved.
Without any warning, without any sharp whistle like a command signal, the herd of beasts suddenly rioted!
Whether the mutant creatures were near or far away, they all suddenly took action!
Blood veins flashed on their bodies, and they rushed towards the Crystal City rioting and screaming!
For a moment, the originally quiet environment suddenly became extremely noisy!
Finally, the first mutant creature rushed into the Crystal City!
Then, without stopping, a huge army of mutant creatures poured into the Crystal City!
"They're coming in!" Standing on the top of the building, Lou Fei'er stared at these mutant creatures nervously, "Will they be affected?"
Xu Xin was also a little nervous.
These mutated creatures are larger than ordinary creatures, so they should have the blood of giant beasts!
Crystal City, can it work
The first group of mutant creatures had already rushed to the bottom of the building where Xu Xin and his team were. Several feline mutant creatures even wanted to climb up the building to attack them!
At this moment, something strange happened to the buildings in Crystal City!
The crystal building, which was already dazzling under the sun, now shone with bright white light again!
Xu Xin and the others narrowed their eyes immediately and subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands.
At this time, something unusual happened to the first group of mutant creatures that rushed into Crystal City!
The blood patterns on their bodies that were originally bright and flickering suddenly dimmed completely under the illumination of the bright white light!
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xin saw that the scarlet eyes of the mutant creatures closest to him suddenly dimmed and turned brown-black!
The movements of these mutant creatures suddenly slowed down. They took a few steps and then stopped.
This caused the mutant creatures that had not yet entered the city to stop. After all, they were controlled by humans, so there would naturally be no stampede, but the mutant creatures outside the city were still howling like ghosts and wolves, as if urging them to hurry up and curse!
Xu Xin was delighted.
It works!
And the effect is obvious!
The Crystal City strengthened their behemoth bloodlines, suppressed blood pattern mutations, and even affected their appearance!
