This relatively thick root connected to the ground is indeed hollow.
Moreover, the moment he touched this root, he had a feeling that as long as he thought about it, he could control this thick root with a diameter of at least two meters.
"Really? Haha, I said it must be like this!" Lou Feier also reached out and touched the roots in front of her, "This thing is so thick, there must be something strange."
"How do we get in? Can we control it?" Zeng Tao came over.
Lou Feier put her hand on the roots and tried it, then gave up helplessly: "No, I can't feel anything."
"Where are you two?" Xu Xin said to Shi Wanyun and Jin Yue behind him.
The two men walked up, tried it, and then shook their heads.
"Nothing."
“No hints were given.”
"Oh, I see." Xu Xin nodded.
Sure enough, when the World Tree was planted for the first time, only he and Xu Ying could control it.
"Let me do it."
Xu Xin placed his hand on the roots.
Although he didn't know how to enter or how to bring them up, he knew very well that he only needed to think about it.
"Bing! Bingbing!" At this moment, a familiar whimpering sound suddenly came from behind.
Several people looked back.
"Keke? Why are you here?" Lou Feier asked in surprise, "Isn't it... in your tree house?"
Keke ran over and climbed up Xu Xin's body onto his shoulders. Then, he pushed Xu Xin's face with his little paws and cried out in dissatisfaction: "Boo! Boo!"
It was dissatisfied with Xu Xin for leaving it in the tree house, so it came down by itself.
"Little guy, how did you get down from the tree house?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.
The tree house was more than ten meters above the ground, and it actually came down by itself.
"Oh, oh, oh." Coco waved her little paws.
"Ah, was it Ah Fu who pulled you down?" Xu Xin suddenly realized.
With Ah Fu's current size, he can indeed carry Coco around with him.
"Bing!"
"Okay, let's go up!"
Zeng Tao came over and urged Coco while touching her big tail.
Xu Xin nodded and immediately said to himself, "Take me up."
Immediately, one side of the root seemed to soften, and Xu Xin's hand, which was originally pressing on it, seemed to be stuck in a sticky liquid and pressed directly into it.
This feeling is somewhat similar to entering and exiting a tree house. Normally, one enters and exits a tree house by passing through the wall.
"Go in!" Zeng Tao widened his eyes.
"You are the only one who can control it..." Shi Wanyun said in surprise, "No wonder that monster wanted to kill you. You are really a very important person."
"What?" Hearing her words, Lou Feier, Zeng Tao and Jin Yue all turned to look at her.
"Kill him?" Lou Feier immediately grabbed Shi Wanyun's arm, her face solemn, "Who did you say wanted to kill him? What monster? Did you see something on the World Tree over there?"
At present, only Xu Xin and Xu Ying know about Shi Wanyun's experience.
"I can tell you, but..." Shi Wanyun pointed at Xu Xin, "Aren't you guys going up?"
At this time, half of Xu Xin's body had already entered the thick roots.
But Coco was no longer on his shoulder. It was obvious that it had jumped in before Xu Xin.
"Ah, let's go in first!" Zeng Tao hurriedly followed in.
The remaining three women followed.
Unlike the outside world, it is pitch black inside the roots.
The Crystal City outside is always bright. Even though it is now past two in the morning, it is as bright as day. Eyes that have adapted to that kind of environment can't see anything the moment they come in.
… I don’t have any blue-level red berries on me.
Xu Xin himself had his night vision improved by using potions made with his alchemical abilities. Even without eating the blue-level red berries, he still had some night vision ability. However, the ambient light changed too much and his eyes could not react for a while.
At this time, Zeng Tao and several other girls also came in.
“Wow, it’s so dark!”
As soon as she came in, Zeng Tao was frightened by the darkness in front of her. She waved her hands wildly and grabbed Xu Xin's clothes. "Xu Xin? Are you there? It's so dark here!"
"嘤!" Coco grabbed Xu Xin's trouser leg, seeming to be a little afraid of the darkness here.
"Stop pulling my clothes!" Xu Xin said quickly.
If this little girl used force, either his clothes would be torn or he would be pulled to the ground.
At this moment, a bright white light appeared.
It was Jin Yue who took out a tree house core, and the bright white light illuminated the place.
"well?"
"this… "
"Ah? Why is this place so big?" Lou Feier asked in surprise.
After seeing the situation around him, Xu Xin was also a little stunned.
Aren't they in the roots of the tree house now
Aren’t the roots of the tree house only two meters in diameter
But the area here... is so huge!
There are definitely several hundred square meters.
At least it was much larger than the single floor of his tree house.
Xu Xin raised his head and looked upwards.
Very tall and very dark.
I can't see what's on it.
"Are we already in the World Tree House?" Zeng Tao's hand was still holding Xu Xin's clothes, guessing, "We are already here? That was actually a... portal? It teleported us up?"
"Ah, look, there's another... door over there?" Lou Feier pointed forward.
There was indeed a wooden door on the opposite wall.
The top is semicircular and looks irregular, as if a child had graffitied a door on the wall.
There are wood grain on the door. Although it is a door in the new world tree, it looks a bit old.
"That wooden door..." Shi Wanyun showed a surprised expression.
"嘤!" Coco let go of the little claws that were grabbing Xu Xin's trouser legs and ran towards the wooden door.
Xu Xin looked up and said, "We haven't reached the tree house of the World Tree yet. This is... the inside of the root just now. We have to go up to reach the inside of the World Tree."
Several people looked up.
"But why is it so big here?" Zeng Tao asked in confusion, "The roots are indeed thick, but not this thick, right?"
She stretched out her hands and drew a big circle.
"…spatial ability." Xu Xin suddenly said, "It's similar to our backpacks. It looks small on the outside, but it's very big on the inside."
This tree house seed was influenced by Xu Ying and Xu Xin.
Not only did they make themselves the owners of this world tree, they also gave the world tree seed influence over time and space.
Those two people are both able to control time and space.
"This is the only possibility." Shi Wanyun said softly, "The World Tree over there should not have the ability to expand space like this."
Is this an ability unique to this world tree
"If there really is such a capability," Jin Yue continued to look upward, "then will the space above also..."
Everyone has already thought of this.
They stared at each other for a few seconds, and then they all gasped.
"Wait, wait!" Zeng Tao felt that her head was not big enough. "The top will also expand? It's already big enough!"
"The area here is about... 300 to 400 square meters. From the outside, the diameter of the roots is a little over two meters, and the cross-sectional area is only 3 to 4 square meters... Hiss...!" Lou Feier calculated and took a breath of cold air again.
"It has expanded by about a hundred times." Shi Wanyun concluded, "If it has also expanded this much..."
"Go up and take a look."
Xu Xin walked straight towards the wooden door.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco was already waiting in front of the wooden door, waving her little paws and asking them to come over quickly.
The women were still in shock, but when they saw Xu Xin walking forward, they quickly followed him.
"Can we go up after passing that door?" Lou Feier asked.
"Yes, that door is the elevator door." Shi Wanyun said.
That's right, the style of this door is very similar to the elevator door she had seen in that World Tree.
She saw it at a glance.
“There really is an elevator!”
"Yes, it is powered by the biological energy of the World Tree."
“Great…”
Xu Xin walked to the door and Coco climbed onto his shoulders. He was about to push the door open when it opened by itself.
This sloppily-looking door is surprisingly thick, at least fifteen centimeters.
"Wow, it's automatic? What a thick door." Zeng Tao looked behind the door curiously.
Behind the door is a space the size of a standard elevator.
Xu Xin walked in immediately.
Then, he just stood there in a daze.
The four girls behind him also walked in and observed the interior of the elevator.
"How should I put it... original ecology?" Lou Feier complained, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known this was an elevator."
"It's not an elevator, it's an elevator, a bioenergy elevator." Shi Wanyun corrected.
However, this place is indeed very different from what she saw in that world tree.
Over there is a wooden elevator, which looks basically the same as the elevators in human society, and is square in shape.
And here, there is a big cocoon wrapped in countless vines as thick as arms.
The cocoon is not square like an elevator, but a sphere, with only a small part on the ground being flat.
It was a bit crowded for five people to stand on this small piece of land.
After they all went in, the heavy wooden door closed automatically, and then the vines began to move again!
The women suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, the vines did not intend to harm Xu Xin and the others. Instead, they grew and squirmed, completely covering the original location of the wooden door.
In this way, they were completely wrapped in this vine ball.
"What the hell is going on here!" Zeng Tao looked at the blocked entrance, a little dumbfounded, "Are we locked up here?"
Shi Wanyun and Jin Yue looked at Xu Xin, who had been silent all this time and was now looking at the ground with his mouth slightly open.
He seemed surprised by something.
Lou Feier grabbed his arm and shook it, then asked, "Can you say something? Why are you in a daze?"
"Ah..." Xu Xin came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, this world tree really scared me."
"What's wrong? What have you discovered?" Shi Wanyun asked.
"It's nothing. It's just that now I can control this elevator to go up or down at will." Xu Xin calmed himself down.
"Then let's go up quickly!" Zeng Tao said impatiently.
But the other three understood the meaning of Xu Xin's words.
"You mean..." Shi Wanyun slowly lowered her head and glanced at the ground, "Can we now... go down?"
"Yes." Xu Xin nodded, "We can go down. There seems to be an underground space under the World Tree."
He noticed this the moment he came in and was immediately shocked.
Unexpectedly, this world tree not only has a tree house above, but also an underground space
"This... doesn't seem to be a big surprise." Lou Feier stepped on the ground. "The root system under the World Tree is so developed, it's normal for there to be space underground."
"This is good news." Xu Xin couldn't help but smile. "We didn't have much protection underground, but now, the underground has become our own territory."
The world tree can even conquer the underground world.
So strong!
"Let's go up and take a look first." Xu Xin thought about it, and immediately felt a pushing force under his feet.
The entire vine ball began to rise.
Because the vine ball is completely closed, the few people don't know how fast the vine ball rises, but judging from the initial thrust, it should be much faster than an ordinary elevator.
Sure enough, after just a dozen seconds, the speed of the vine ball began to slow down.
Finally stopped.
Afterwards, the vines that had originally grown and crawled at the door slowly retracted, revealing another wooden door.
It is obviously not the same door as before, it is a circle bigger than that one.
Then, the door slowly opened outwards by itself.
Several people walked out of the vine ball.
The field of vision suddenly became extremely wide.
"Hmm? Hmm!" Coco screamed in surprise. Her little paws lost their grip and she almost fell off Xu Xin.
Looking up, it was...
A piece of sky
"Is that... a cloud?" Zeng Tao's eyes almost popped out of her head. "It's a cloud, right? Isn't this the inside of the World Tree? Where have we been teleported to?!"
They... seemed to have really been sent to another area
The ground is soil and the sky is filled with clouds.
However, there was no vegetation on the soil and the area nearby was barren.
It was night time and the surroundings were relatively dark. Of course, it was not as completely dark as the roots where they were just now. It was just the normal brightness of a night.
"What? Have we been sent to some remote wilderness?" Lou Feier looked around, "Why is there not even a blade of grass here?"
Shi Wanyun and Jin Yue also frowned slightly.
Where is this
Why didn't they go to the tree house in the World Tree
Xu Xin looked up into the sky, squinted his eyes, and whispered, "This is the inside of the World Tree."
"… ha?"
"What… ?"
The four girls all looked at him.
Xu Xin had just controlled the watch and selected today's historical amplification: vision amplification. Now he could see that above the cloud was not the sky, but...
Dome.
Wooden dome.
This height...
It’s more than ten kilometers.
Tens of thousands of meters in height
Xu Xin took another deep breath.
This was the umpteenth time he had adjusted his mindset today.
"You mean, this place... is the inside of the World Tree that has been affected by time and space?" Shi Wanyun couldn't hold it in anymore, her face full of shock.
She had seen the inside of the World Tree, this difference...
This is not the same thing at all!
"No wonder it's called the World Tree..." Xu Xin muttered to himself, "The interior of the entire tree can be called a small world."
Just now they speculated that the internal space of the World Tree had expanded hundreds of times due to the influence of time and space.
We can make some inferences from the height inside the World Tree.
The height above is about... a dozen kilometers, or more than ten thousand meters.
The thickness of the World Tree's crown is more than one hundred meters.
In other words, the height became more than a hundred times the original.
Is the area also...
Xu Xin looked around and saw an endless expanse with no end in sight.
If we multiply it by hundreds...
Seen from the outside, the area covered by the World Tree's crown is more than two kilometers in radius.
Therefore, the area of the inner space of the tree house should be the area of a circle with a radius of two kilometers.
It’s about… about thirteen square kilometers.
If it is magnified a hundred times, it is...
One thousand three hundred square kilometers!
If it is really that big, then this area...
It can already be considered as the area of a city!
It’s not a county town, it’s a prefecture-level city!
The area of a prefecture-level city!
Judging from the space alone, there is no problem for the interior of this World Tree to become the home of tens of millions of people!
