Why did this big guy emerge from the lake and suddenly attack the group of mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex
Is it to help him
Or... is it just that I can't accept that a group of Tyrannosaurus Rex passed by the lake
Just now, in the map in his mind, the light spot representing the giant anaconda in the center of the lake was still the red dot indicating the place.
Although he didn't know how it was classified, Xu Xin's ability told him that the giant anaconda in the center of the lake was still an enemy unit.
This ability has saved him many times. It is the ability that Xu Xin left for him, and he still has relative faith in it.
After all, there is no more reliable way to distinguish between friend and foe than this ability. The only oversight of this ability was on Shi Wanyun at the time, but Shi Wanyun was a survivor and was not brainwashed, she was just threatened.
It is normal that spies cannot be detected.
Therefore, he still believed in his own abilities and thought that the giant anaconda in the center of the lake was still hostile to him.
Although... it has never hurt itself once.
To Xu Xin, it seemed that it had only intimidated him with its roar.
But, it did hurt his people.
Ma Hongwei was crushed to death by it.
If it weren't for the ability to resurrect, Ma Hongwei would have died right away.
Moreover, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream, which had not appeared for a long time and was originally identified as a neutral unit by his ability, did have an obvious conflict with it and they had fought.
Therefore, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is currently impossible to determine.
However, at least this time, it came out from the ground. It must have been attracted by this group of mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex.
so…
… Um
Wait a moment.
What kind of beings are these mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex
They are pure-blooded mutant creatures.
Although it is huge in size, it does not have the blood of a giant beast. It is a pure-blooded mutated prehistoric giant beast.
What kind of person is Ma Hongwei
Strictly speaking, he can be considered a pure-blooded mutant creature. He does not have the blood of a giant beast.
In other words, the targets of the two attacks by the giant anaconda in the center of the lake were pure-blooded mutant creatures that did not have the blood of giant beasts.
The time when it appeared from the lake was because it was attracted by Ma Hongwei's explosive crossbow.
When it poked its head out of the lake, it did not crawl as fast as it did this time, but crawled slowly to Ma Hongwei's tree house.
There were some mutant creatures around it at the time, but those mutant creatures did not attract its attention at all. It simply crushed a bunch of fleeing mutant creatures by crawling its body.
At that time, its target was very clear, which was Ma Hongwei's tree house.
At that time, Xu Xin thought that it was because Ma Hongwei's explosive crossbow had disturbed it that it came out and wanted to kill Ma Hongwei.
But now it seems...
Could it be that the failure of the explosive crossbow was just a trigger? Was the mutation of Ma Hongwei's pure blood the main reason
If you look at it this way, it also explains why it had no interest in other mutant creatures at the time.
Because that group of mutant creatures were not pure-blooded mutant creatures, but possessed some of the blood of giant beasts.
It seems... it only attacks pure-blooded mutants
"Hmm?" Coco's cry interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to his senses.
He glanced out the window.
“… By the way, Zeng Tao!”
Xu Xin immediately came down from the tree house and ran towards Zeng Tao who was sitting on the ground.
This girl is too crazy!
Directly face off against a Tyrannosaurus Rex running at high speed, or an advanced mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex!
He is simply risking his life!
It was also thanks to her ability that her weight was beyond imagination, otherwise, a kick from the Tyrannosaurus Rex while running would probably have kicked a little girl of her size hundreds of meters away!
At this time, Zeng Tao was sitting on the ground, stretching out his two short legs, supporting the ground with his uninjured arm, looking around at the Tyrannosaurus Rex corpses around him.
It seems that she was not seriously injured, just her arm was broken by the kick.
Seeing Xu Xin running over, before Xu Xin could say anything, she said proudly: "How is it! Am I really awesome! I just cut off the leg of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Following behind Xu Xin was Lou Feier.
"You're too reckless!" Lou Fei'er rushed to her side, "Your arm... is healed already?!"
"You... took the pill?" Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course. If I hadn't taken the pill, I wouldn't have dared to fight this Tyrannosaurus Rex head-on." Zeng Tao stood up, turned her injured arm, and said in surprise, "It's healed already! That's great! Ah!"
She was flicked on the head by Xu Xin, and she immediately covered her head and glared at him: "Why are you flicking me again!"
"You really don't want to live anymore."
Xu Xin pretended to shoot again, Zeng Tao quickly hid behind Lou Fei'er, poked her head out and shouted: "I'm a great contributor, and you still shoot me! If it weren't for me, that stupid dragon wouldn't be killed!"
Although she had gotten rid of Xu Xin's control, she was still a little bit afraid of Xu Xin, just like... the fear that a child has of his parents and teachers.
"Everyone was shooting with crossbows at random. If we hadn't stopped in time, you would have been kicked to death or blown to death." Xu Xin said unhappily, "Do you know that I almost shot that big killer weapon at you?"
"That's right!" Lou Feier also glanced at Zeng Tao behind her and said, "I almost rushed over at that time! Fortunately, you yelled 'Stop right there!' and I stopped myself from going back."
“Oh…” Zeng Tao was stunned. After thinking about the situation at that time, she shrank her neck in fear.
"It does seem dangerous... But I'm fine! And judging by the results, I did help a lot!"
Having said that, Zeng Tao raised her head, regained her smug look, and looked at Xu Xin. Her expression clearly said, "Why don't you praise me?"
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
That's true.
Because resources are scarce, Xu Xin only has that one killer weapon in his hand.
It is basically impossible to kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex rushing from two different directions with just one powerful weapon.
It is basically impossible for other crossbows to cause fatal damage to a Tyrannosaurus Rex moving at high speed.
And at that time everyone had to concentrate their firepower to deal with the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the pit.
If Zeng Tao had not cut off the leg bones of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, causing it to trip and the vines to crawl into the eyes and mouth of the immobile Tyrannosaurus Rex, there would definitely be a Tyrannosaurus Rex that could cause damage to the World Tree.
Even a Tyrannosaurus Rex can cause some damage to the World Tree.
That was an ancient giant beast with advanced mutations. From the perspective of attack power... ordinary mutant creatures were completely unable to hurt the giant anaconda's scales, and they could just bite and tear them off at will.
Zeng Tao's actions did prevent this situation from happening.
"Okay, it's really thanks to you this time." Xu Xin touched her head.
"Don't touch my head! Hehe..." Although she was still dissatisfied with Xu Xin touching her head, Zeng Tao couldn't help but laugh triumphantly again.
Xu Xin was speechless.
This little girl is so easy to play with.
At this time, except for Ji Chaoyang who was still on the top floor of the tree house relying on his enhanced vision to observe whether there were other dangers around, the other explorers had also come down from the tree house.
"Little girl, you can do it!" Wang Lei came over and patted Zeng Tao on the shoulder. "Your strength is about the same as mine, right? I don't even dare to jump out directly!"
“No way!” Zeng Tao’s nose was about to turn upside down. “I may not be as strong as you, but in a fight, I am very strong!”
Wang Lei, who is nearly two meters tall, and Zeng Tao, who is less than one and a half meters tall, stand together. Both of them are power-type players, forming a strong visual contrast.
"Brother Xin, everyone around you has powerful abilities." Zhao Xiaochuan also sighed.
"I've already said that she's very strong." Wen Guixin came over and said, "I've practiced against her before, and I'm no match for her in a head-on confrontation. Well done, little one."
"Hehe!" Zeng Tao smiled foolishly.
It was her first time to use her ability in front of all the explorers, and although others already knew about her ability, they were still somewhat shocked to actually see it.
Her fighting strength seems to be enough to go head-to-head with the giant beast!
What is this called? A small humanoid monster!
Xu Xin looked into the distance and observed the surrounding situation through the map.
There was no red light around.
In the map, there are many green spots of light outside Crystal City.
Those were the friendly mutant creatures that survived the battle. The number of light spots was much less than before, but the remaining ones were basically the strongest ones in the group.
Those herds of animals had also gone through a wave of screening.
With these left, Xu Xin wanted to start using the giant beast potion on them.
Perhaps they can become qualified guardians of the Crystal City.
Behemoth Guardian.
"By the way, Shi Wanyun hasn't come back yet?" Lou Feier looked in the direction of the teleportation formation and asked, "She was heading back just now, wasn't she?"
After yesterday's actions, Lou Feier's opinion of Shi Wanyun has changed a lot, and she has become a little worried about her.
"Ah." Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
If Lou Feier hadn't asked, he would have almost forgotten about Shi Wanyun.
There are green dots all around, and Shi Wanyun’s location cannot be found on the map.
"It shouldn't be a problem. There are crystal buildings everywhere. She can just hide in any room."
Having said this, Xu Xin contacted Shi Wanyun.
The other party answered the call directly.
"I'll be back right away." Shi Wanyun's voice rang out, and then she hung up the call.
…
Why did you suddenly become a little cold
Never mind, I'm glad everything's OK.
By the way, let’s go check the status of the World Tree first.
Coming to the World Tree, he reached out and touched it.
A World Tree About to Mature: A World Tree that is about to grow fully, with its roots fully extended to its maximum extent, and about to mature. Any tree house can be transplanted to the land affected by the World Tree's roots, and the growth rate of plants will be greatly increased.
The World Tree that has not fully matured is very fragile. Any attack will cause damage to it, slow down its growth, or even destroy it. Before it grows to a height of 200 meters, try to ensure that it is not harmed.
The immature and fragile trunks suffered some damage during the growth process and needed to use their own strength to repair themselves, delaying their maturity by five hours.
The World Tree is 195 meters tall and will reach maturity in fourteen hours.
He already knew that if it was damaged, the maturity would be delayed.
However... the World Tree did not suffer much damage.
There were only a few cuts made by the flying mutant creatures, which were not worth mentioning compared with its diameter of more than ten meters.
Even so, the ripening time was extended by five hours.
… Fortunately, the Tyrannosaurus Rex did not cause any damage to the World Tree. With the attack power of the advanced mutant beast, even if it did not destroy the World Tree, it would at least inflict severe damage to it, greatly delaying its maturity.
That would be endless.
Fourteen hours.
Xu Xin glanced at the time.
It's already past eleven o'clock, almost noon.
This battle did not last long.
Herds of beasts, flocks of birds, pangolins, and Tyrannosaurus Rex, monsters come to attack the city wave after wave.
Fortunately, they were all resolved one by one.
If the World Tree would not be harmed...
The World Tree will mature between 1:00 and 2:00 this morning.
Until then... we must not let our guard down.
Who knows if the other side will suddenly have something come out to give the World Tree a boost, delaying its maturation time.
"How is it, Brother Xin? What's the status of the World Tree?" All the explorers also came.
The others did not have the ability to distinguish, and their information acquisition was not as comprehensive as Xu Xin's, so they simply asked directly.
Xu Xin informed them of the current situation.
"There are still 14 hours left...!" Zhao Xiaochuan screamed, "No way..."
"This..." The others also felt a headache.
Their thermal weapons had been basically exhausted in this battle, and metal and other materials had also been consumed.
If another wave of beasts comes within these fourteen hours, they may not be able to protect all the trees in the world.
"You don't have to worry too much about the beast tide." At this time, Shi Wanyun's voice came from behind everyone.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shi Wanyun, who was almost spotless, walking towards them.
"You weren't affected?" Lou Feier asked in surprise when she saw that she was so clean.
"Why don't we have to worry about the beast tide?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked in confusion.
"..." Shi Wanyun did not reply, but looked at Xu Xin.
It seemed that she only wanted to tell Xu Xin.
Could it be that she just went through something
"... Come with me to the tree house." Xu Xin also knew that it was impossible for her to speak in front of so many people, and her identity as a double agent was destined not to be known to many people.
"Then you guys go ahead and chat, let's go clean up the surroundings, it's such a mess!" Wang Lei said tactfully to the others, while pointing outside the ravine.
"Okay, let's clean up together first. These Tyrannosaurus Rex corpses are also good materials." Wen Guixin nodded.
No one was dissatisfied.
After all, Xu Xin will tell them later.
Although there may be some situations about Shi Wanyun that she chooses to conceal, it doesn’t matter.
Xu Xin took Shi Wanyun back to the tree house.
"Have you been hiding in the crystal building?" Xu Xin sat on the sofa and pointed at it, "Sit down."
Shi Wanyun also sat down.
At this time, Coco also climbed into his arms and looked at Shi Wanyun with blinking eyes.
"I didn't hide because the other party didn't hurt me."
Her first words made Xu Xin open his eyes slightly.
Yes.
She is now a double agent. In the eyes of the other party, she is also one of their own, so how could they hurt her
"That mysterious voice contacted me again, before the last Tyrannosaurus Rex died."
Shi Wanyun looked into Xu Xin's eyes and said frankly in her signature soft voice, "It told me to secretly destroy the World Tree before midnight today."
As she spoke, she touched her backpack and took out something that looked like a syringe and handed it to Xu Xin: "My points mall was open again at that time, and there was this item in it. The mysterious voice asked me to buy it."
"This is… "
Xu Xin took it.
Yggdrasil Trunk Virus: A specialized virus that fights the Yggdrasil. When injected into the trunk of a Yggdrasil, it can infect the Yggdrasil and significantly slow down its growth. Even if the Yggdrasil eventually matures, the tree house inside will be deformed.
… The other party’s methods of preventing the World Tree from maturing are truly endless!
