The appearance of pangolins brought a turning point in the situation.
The underground attack, which was originally the most difficult to deal with, seemed to have suddenly become their new force.
The explorers were all looking nervously into the ravine.
More than thirty pangolins have emerged from the cliffs of the ravine.
They were obviously affected by the Crystal City. The moment they came out, the blood patterns on their bodies, which were originally bright and even flickering, dimmed.
Some of them fell from the cliff into the ravine, while others half of their bodies crawled out of the holes they had dug themselves and stood there stupidly.
It was exactly the same reaction as the group of affected mutant creatures on the edge of Crystal City before.
Lou Feier said in the group: "It's done? It's definitely done, right?"
She had been with Xu Xin at the edge of Crystal City and knew what the pangolins' reactions meant.
Xu Xin also showed a relaxed smile: "It seems that they have really become our side."
"There's a problem!" Qin Fu suddenly said in the group, "There are more than a dozen pangolins that haven't come out yet. They are not affected. Now they have obviously received the order. All the pangolins that have not been affected are digging downwards!"
Dig down
Could it be!
"It looks like they want to dig directly to the area below the ravine, bypass the ravine from below, and attack the core of the tree house!"
Qin Fu said so.
That should be it!
This group of pangolins was obviously under control, otherwise they would not have dug towards this side from all directions at the same time.
The people who controlled them learned about the situation in the gully through the first thirty pangolins, and are now making a final effort using the last dozen or so pangolins!
But... I have to say that the other party's choice was very good. This was the situation that Xu Xin and the others least wanted to see!
Wang Lei: "Brother Xin, your pangolin should be down there too!"
The three pangolins were indeed there, but Xu Xin could not confirm their location or contact them.
He immediately contacted Qin Fu: "Where are the three pangolins on our side?"
Qin Fu should be able to see it.
"I can't see clearly either." Qin Fu said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's too dark underground. I can only sense it, but I don't know what it actually looks like. It's full of pangolins now. Your three..."
Xu Xin glanced at the pangolins in the gully: "One of them is much bigger than the rest of them, and the other two are a little smaller. You can sense the size, right?"
He had previously used the term "creatures the size of tigers and leopards" to describe this group of pangolins.
"Okay, I'll look for them. They're... they're... found!" Qin Fu said immediately after searching for a few seconds, "The biggest one is catching those enemy pangolins, and the other two are helping to dig holes. Their speed... is much faster than the other pangolins!"
It seems that they have understood the current situation.
"This...ah, it seems we don't need to worry about anything." Qin Fu's voice relaxed.
"Why?"
"We have dug the trench very deep. Further down, we will reach the roots of the World Tree." Qin Fu explained, "Also, the closer we are to the World Tree, the closer the roots are and the denser they are. It will be difficult for the pangolins to reach the core."
Did the roots of the World Tree stop the pangolins
Yes.
Even though the World Tree has not yet fully matured, its roots close to the main body are very solid and hard.
After all, these roots have spread to the entire 188 area, and even a larger area. The roots under the World Tree are the most solid roots in the entire area. It is not so easy to destroy them.
"The speed at which these pangolins dig holes has become much slower." Qin Fu continued to explain, "And your three pangolins have circled behind them, trying to pull them all out. Ha, one has come out!"
Before Qin Fu finished his words, the bottom of the ravine suddenly arched upwards, and then two pangolins without blood marks on their bodies crawled out from it.
It's those two little guys!
After they came out, they immediately dispersed, and another big pangolin came out of the cave!
It’s the Pangolin Concubine!
On her sharp claws, there was a pangolin that was smaller than her and was screaming miserably.
Ai Fei's entire claw was pierced into the pangolin's belly, and blood was gushing out from the place where the claw had pierced.
No wonder this pangolin screamed so miserably...
And when the beloved concubine brought it out from underground, she immediately swung her claws.
Suddenly, the whole pangolin was ruthlessly thrown away, and hit the rock wall with a "bang", and let out another scream.
The blood patterns on this creature, which was exposed in the image of Crystal City, also dimmed.
Then, like the other pangolins that had been affected, it gradually became sluggish.
Even though it was still seriously injured.
Then, the three pangolins burrowed back into the ground from where they came out.
"There's no need to worry. The pangolins are too slow to destroy the roots of the World Tree. The three of you should be able to catch them one by one."
Looking at the pangolin on the ground that was pierced by sharp claws and then thrown out and hit the rock wall, Xu Xin smiled.
My beloved, are you venting your anger
It was this group of pangolins that rejected her in the first place, forcing her to risk her life to come to him and humbly beg Xu Xin to take its two children away.
Now, it, together with its two children, is taking revenge on the pangolins that once excluded it.
It can also be regarded as a way to vent the resentment in my heart.
Xu Xin said to Qin Fu, "You keep an eye on the situation and give them some instructions. I'm worried that they won't be able to find them all."
If you miss one or two, it will be dangerous.
"Okay, I understand." Qin Fu responded immediately.
Then, Qin Fu immediately came down from his tree house, came to the edge of the ravine, looked down, and then jumped into the ravine.
Every time his beloved concubine emerged from the ground, he could communicate and give commands, trying his best to ensure that his beloved concubine and the two little pangolins did not take detours and moved directly towards the target.
Xu Xin also immediately informed the other explorers of the situation.
Ji Chaoyang: "I saw Qin Fu go down. If that's the case... then there should be no problem."
Xu Xin: "Don't worry, I've asked Qin Fu to lead the way. We should be able to get there soon."
Wang Lei: "Then we don't have to worry about what's happening next, right? We have to think of a solution quickly, because those Tyrannosaurus Rex are coming soon!"
In the distance, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was still walking slowly towards them, but the group of hundreds of Tyrannosaurus Rex gave people a very oppressive feeling.
This is much more oppressive than an ordinary herd of beasts!
One glance at it almost made me breathless.
Among the survivors of Crystal City, everyone was discussing the impending crisis.
"They are so slow, why are they so slow?"
"They look down on us. They feel that if they come slowly, it will be more oppressive."
"What? You're just trying to save your energy, right? You'll be exhausted after running such a long distance."
"How can you... still be so calm! Those are a group of Tyrannosaurus Rex! There are blood marks on their bodies!"
"Are you crazy? The Blood-Striped Tyrannosaurus Rex! There's no way to fight it!"
"Giant Beast Herd... This activity is a little too difficult!"
"What activity? We are already independent! This is an activity in other areas. We are free now!"
"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've heard that mysterious voice."
"Damn, can you guys not be so calm? What are you going to do next?"
"Why are you panicking? Just trust the elders of the Explorers. I'm not panicking at all. I still have some explosive crossbows in my hands. Watch me blow their dog eyes out!"
"Should it be called Longan?"
"Forget it. Can the explorers handle this situation?"
"Why haven't the Explorers' elders spoken for a long time? Are they really unable to deal with it..."
"If we can't deal with it, then we can't deal with it. We can just hide in the crystal building. We can't die anyway, so what are we afraid of? We have the elders of the explorers and the Crystal City. Even if the World Tree is gone, we can still make a comeback!"
"… That's true. Even if it's just Crystal City, it's much better than my previous environment."
"Alas, it would be a pity if the World Tree was destroyed like this..."
It seems that everyone in Crystal City is not as panic-stricken as Xu Xin imagined.
Come to think of it, they have all experienced countless life and death situations in this world. Now with the protection of Crystal City, which can basically guarantee their survival, they really have nothing to be afraid of.
But it can be seen from their words that even the diehard fans of the previous group of explorers no longer believe that they can deal with more than a hundred prehistoric beasts.
Or is it a prehistoric behemoth that has undergone a mutation!
but…
They can't give up!
Xu Ying told him that this world tree was very important.
She also said that she would come again after the World Tree grew.
Obviously, this world tree is a very important guarantee.
If there was no World Tree, they would most likely return to their previous state of being monitored and controlled!
The Crystal City can only give them the ability to protect themselves. Only if this World Tree grows, will they truly have the capital to gain a foothold in the world a thousand years later.
It can be seen from the enemy's reaction that they united all the survivors in other areas and even mobilized such a powerful force to directly overturn all the previous rules and destroy this world tree...
This is enough to show how big a threat this world tree is to them!
Therefore, the World Tree must be preserved!
But, what should they do.
Hundreds of mutated prehistoric beasts...
This despairing disparity in strength...
… I can only try my best!
"Crack!" Another hole was drilled in the ravine, and the beloved concubine threw out another pangolin, blood and screams flying everywhere.
This is the seventh one it has thrown out.
With the help of Qin Fu, Ai Fei's speed in catching other pangolins became incredibly fast. Basically, she could pull out one after drilling down for more than ten seconds.
Most of the pangolins that were originally affected have now awakened.
They looked up over the gully and made friendly calls.
It was obvious that they had become friendly.
"These pangolins may be able to help us turn defeat into victory." At this time, Ji Chaoyang suddenly said in the group.
Wang Lei: "Pangolins? These pangolins who just turned against us?"
Wen Guixin: "How can they help?"
"Let the pangolins drill holes in the ground and drill out the ground that is prone to collapse." Xu Xin had the same idea, so he immediately said in the group, "For a Tyrannosaurus Rex that weighs more than ten tons and stands on its two feet, this kind of ground is the most suitable trap!"
That's right, use the pangolin group to set traps around the World Tree before the Tyrannosaurus Rex arrives.
Even though the Tyrannosaurus Rex are taking a walk now, they may not be so frugal after entering the Crystal City.
They will definitely rush over as fast as they can and attack the World Tree!
But if they stepped on the ground and fell into the trap, it would give Xu Xin and his men time.
They are heavy in weight and are specialized to walk and run on their hind legs. If they fall into a deep hole, it may not be easy for them to get out.
Xu Xin and his men took advantage of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's struggles and fired crazily.
In this way, perhaps they can save the World Tree!
Although hope is still slim, at least it is not impossible!
The explorers who understood the situation immediately got busy.
Xu Xin immediately came down from the tree house and jumped directly into the ravine.
At this moment, the beloved concubine came out from below and threw out a pangolin.
The pangolin screamed as it was thrown past him and hit the rock wall with a bang.
"Boss, this is the last one. Our mission has been accomplished." Qin Fu patted his beloved concubine's head and smiled at Xu Xin.
At this time, all the awake pangolins around looked at Xu Xin, with kindness and submission in their eyes.
Crystal City shouldn't let them surrender directly. This is probably because the concubine's behavior was too violent.
Xu Xin nodded: "Well done."
He walked to his beloved concubine, explained the plan to her, and asked her to command the pangolin group.
The beloved concubine uttered a small cry of assent.
Then, it walked towards the group of awakened pangolins and slowly scratched the ground with its claws, making a somewhat harsh sound, which made all the pangolins look at it.
These pangolins all knew it and also showed awe towards the two little pangolins following behind it.
They even took a few steps back.
After all, these are the mate and offspring of the giant pangolin.
Soon, these pangolins drilled directly into the rock wall and spread out in all directions.
They started burrowing into the ground!
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
Plan in progress.
By the way, there is no news about the giant pangolin this time, and I don’t know whether it is still in that underground space.
By the way, since it is a giant beast, it should be considered as their companion, right
There was a construction passage in the ravine that led back to the ground, and Xu Xin and Qin Fu also followed the passage back to the ground.
"You continue to observe and make sure there are no problems underground." Xu Xin said to Qin Fu.
He didn't want his house to be robbed while he was working hard to protect the World Tree on the ground.
"Okay." Qin Fu nodded, then looked in the direction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex group, sighed, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "There are too many of them, right? We probably have no hope this time, right?"
"... We can only do our best. The trunk of the World Tree with a diameter of more than ten meters is not so easy to destroy. We just need to do it before it is completely destroyed... Hmm?"
Xu Xin's eyes suddenly shrank.
Then he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex group.
Then he narrowed his eyes, directly controlled the roots of the tree house, and quickly returned to the top floor of his tree house.
"What's going on?" Qin Fu was a little puzzled. Finally, he shrugged and went to complete his task.
Xu Xin quickly went to the window and looked over there.
The direction of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or in other words, the direction of where his tree house was originally located.
Standing higher and looking farther, Xu Xin could now see the lake that he loved and hated.
Although he no longer lived near the lake, the importance of the lake had not diminished in the slightest in his heart.
And just now, on the map in his mind, in the center of the lake, the familiar red dot slowly lit up.
It gradually brightened from dimness, surpassing the brightness of an ordinary red dot, and quickly reached the brightness of a Tyrannosaurus Rex red dot.
But the brightness did not stop there, but continued to slowly brighten, becoming brighter and brighter...
Finally, an even dazzling red light appeared on the map!
At the same time, a huge head suddenly emerged from the lake, causing huge waves!
Even from a distance of several kilometers, the head reflecting the luster of the rock in the sunlight was so imposing and frightening.
…A giant anaconda in the center of the lake!
The giant anaconda in the center of the lake appeared again!
