That’s right, the three girls were sent to an island for some unknown reason.
The island is barren, but the world tree in the center is the only thing that makes people think.
The entire island is basically bare, with barely any grass, which makes the tall World Tree in the center of the island look very out of place.
"Even on this small island in the ocean there is a World Tree. The alien invaders are truly omnipresent."
Lou Feier sighed.
"We can only get closer to the World Tree and take a look." Jin Yue turned back to look at the World Tree, "I hope we can find a way back."
"We must be careful. It's not that easy to get close to the World Tree."
Shi Wanyun looked at the World Tree and felt an extremely familiar feeling in her heart.
This was the second time she had experienced this scene.
When she was inexplicably teleported to the other hemisphere, the situation was basically exactly the same as it is now.
Except that we were in the jungle then and are now at the seaside, there is absolutely no difference in other aspects.
Oh yeah, and this time there was no mandatory quest for her to go to the World Tree.
But now they can only go to the World Tree to have a look, after all, there is no other way.
Shi Wanyun hesitated for a moment and did not explain the situation to the two people in front of her.
After all, she had no idea whether her words would be eavesdropped next to the enemy's World Tree.
She was a spy sent by that terrifying monster himself. If the other party knew that she had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty...
Thinking of that horrible monster, Shi Wanyun's body trembled slightly.
In this case, I can only simply remind the two of them.
But it doesn’t matter, Lou Feier and Jin Yue knew about her experience at that time.
Both of them were smart people, and they were able to understand what she said.
Sure enough, both of them showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, and then they reacted.
"Don't panic, just put on your stealth cloaks and be careful." Lou Feier took out a cloak from her backpack and put it on.
"I just walked over there and didn't see any mutant creatures." Jin Yue also took out a cloak and put it on, saying, "This is just an isolated island in the ocean. Maybe there are no powerful creatures."
"Well, I hope so." Shi Wanyun sighed lightly.
I wonder if there is... another monster on this world tree
The three women walked towards the World Tree.
Although both are world trees, there is still a big gap between the world tree on this small island and their world tree.
Overall, it is much smaller than the world tree where the explorers currently live.
The heights are not much different, both are nearly two hundred meters, but the area covered by the canopy is much smaller.
The crown of the explorer's world tree covers an area of more than two kilometers in radius, and even covers the entire Crystal City.
And this world tree only has...
"About one kilometer?" Lou Feier estimated, "What a small world tree."
"It's not small." Shi Wanyun didn't think so.
The world tree she had visited in the other hemisphere was not much bigger than this one.
Apparently theirs was too big.
Jin Yue kept an eye on her surroundings: "Have you noticed that we haven't seen any animals along the way?"
Lou Feier nodded: "I found it, there is no animal here."
"Perhaps it was originally an island with little life?" Shi Wanyun said softly, "This island is too small. If it has always been isolated from the outside world, it is normal that no advanced life has been born."
Since there is little vegetation on the entire island, it is very easy to observe the surrounding situation. It is like being on a grassland and everything around you can be seen clearly.
There are absolutely no animals.
Even the ground is salinized and cannot be used for planting.
The three girls basically understood the situation here.
"An island with absolutely no signs of life. There is no vegetation on it except the World Tree." Lou Feier speculated, "I even suspect that this is an artificial island specially used to grow the World Tree."
"Build an artificial island in the center of the ocean?" Shi Wanyun shook her head. "How? Float it on the sea? A floating island?"
A normal island does not float on the sea. An island is a corner of a mountain that is exposed above the water.
"You can't grow a world tree on a floating island." Lou Feier overturned her own idea. "The roots of the world tree will continue to spread. Maybe this place is a deserted island itself."
Thousands of years ago, when the Earth had not yet expanded, the area here should have been very small, just a very small island in the ocean. It became so large only after the Earth expanded.
In other words, the area of the island itself and its location deep in the ocean make it impossible for life to arise. It can probably only be a place for migrating birds to take a rest.
"Well, later on, alien invaders chose this place and planted a world tree."
The three women have already walked into the area covered by the canopy of the World Tree.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue became more cautious and their moods became a little more depressed.
There was no choice but to bow my head under the enemy's tree canopy.
At this moment, Shi Wanyun's expression changed slightly and she stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lou Feier turned and looked at her.
"…Nothing." Shi Wanyun shook her head.
She... heard that mysterious voice again.
You have two options.
The first option is to make the two people around you become your own people, and go back to the world tree over there together to become undercover agents.
The second option is to kill the two men on the spot.
Unexpectedly, this mysterious voice did not sound when they came, but suddenly sounded now.
And this mysterious voice actually wants the three of them to go undercover together
Um…
Is this because I am too confident in myself, or too naive
However, it makes sense for the other party to be so confident. After all, the gap between the two sides is not ordinary.
If there had been no explorer, and if Xu Xin had not told her the truth about this world, Shi Wanyun would probably have followed that side wholeheartedly at this moment.
The conditions they offered were too tempting.
"Are you worried too? Do we really have to keep going?" Lou Feier suddenly hesitated.
"We can only keep going. There is no other way." Shi Wanyun said.
"... Yeah. But it's too dangerous to go any further. There's no cover here. If someone on the World Tree attacks us... If we go any further, we'll be putting our lives in their hands."
In Lou Feier's opinion, the World Tree is also a tree house, and it can definitely be equipped with external weapons.
When she left, she heard Ma Hongwei muttering in a low voice, wondering if it was time to study the external weapons of the World Tree.
"They won't attack us." Shi Wanyun looked up at the branches above the World Tree and said, "I'm here."
"Hmm..." Lou Feier's eyes moved slightly, and then her expression changed: "What do you mean? Are you saying that the enemy world tree will not attack you?!"
She started the show.
They were already under the canopy of the World Tree. She didn't believe that the people in the World Tree didn't see them and weren't monitoring them.
And when Shi Wanyun said this, it was obvious that she wanted her to start the performance.
Although I don’t know what she is thinking, anyway, just act first.
Shi Wanyun glanced at her and said, "Some things just need you to understand them in your heart."
She was slightly in her heart
"What do you mean by that!" Lou Fei'er looked suspicious, "You...you...!"
She took two steps back.
Jin Yue glanced at the two of them and continued walking forward without saying a word.
She knew the two were at it again.
She didn't want to get involved.
"So, what's your choice? To survive with me, or... to die heroically here?" Shi Wanyun said with a slight smile.
“…” Lou Feier clenched her fists, her eyes changing unpredictably.
"In the final analysis, the side that can keep us alive is the side we should join."
Shi Wanyun spoke while continuing to walk towards the World Tree.
"This world is no longer a human world. Why should we resist in vain? We cannot change the world. All we can do is adapt to it."
"You... you really have been... from the very beginning!" Lou Feier gritted her teeth.
But she seemed to think that what Shi Wanyun said made sense, so she stamped her feet and followed her: "Wait for me!"
"Haha." Shi Wanyun turned around and looked at Jin Yue who had been following behind her silently: "What about you, what do you think?"
Jin Yue said expressionlessly: "I don't have any ideas, I just want to survive."
"Hey!" Lou Feier grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "Xu Xin is your savior, are you going to betray him?"
Jin Yue still looked at her expressionlessly: "If Shi Wanyun can keep me alive in this situation, then she is also my lifesaver."
Good guy…
This is so true...
"It seems that Jin Yue is on my side now." Shi Wanyun smiled at Lou Feier, "So what about you? Are you still hesitating?"
"I... I..."
Lou Feier stood there, staring blankly at the ground, her hands tightly grasping the clothes on both sides of her body, her mouth pursed, looking like she was having a fierce ideological struggle.
"Haha, since you are so hesitant, let me tell you one more thing."
Shi Wanyun chuckled and pointed at the World Tree.
"As long as you join there, you will have the opportunity... to leave this world, return to our original world, return to Earth, and live a peaceful and stable life again."
Lou Feier raised her head abruptly, with a look of disbelief: "What? You... say it again!"
At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
To be honest, before Shi Wanyun said this, Lou Feier even began to doubt again. Shi Wanyun... wouldn't she seriously want them to join the enemy
What if the fake becomes real
But as soon as these words came out, she was certain in her heart.
This is obviously a false condition. This is originally the Earth, so how can we go back to the Earth
Since he put forward fake conditions, it was obvious that he wanted her to act.
"I said..." Shi Wanyun repeated.
"This... are you telling the truth?!" Lou Feier walked to Shi Wanyun, grabbed her arm, and stared at her.
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think I would join them?"
"This..." Lou Feier opened her lips slightly, trembling slightly, and stared blankly at the World Tree, "As long as we go over there, we can go home?"
"Of course not." Shi Wanyun shook her head, "You need to make a contribution, just like what I am doing now."
"… I want to go up to the World Tree and take a look first!" Lou Feier gritted her teeth and said, "If what you said is true, I will join you! I want to go back to my original world and not stay in this messed up world any longer!"
"Very good. Jinyue, you..."
"I would like to do that too." Jin Yue nodded.
She didn't have any emotions and her face was expressionless, but her acting skills were not that good, so there was no need for her to be as exaggerated as Lou Fei'er. She just needed to play a person whose emotions did not fluctuate much.
"Okay, then follow me."
Shi Wanyun took the two of them and quickened their pace towards the World Tree.
Well done.
That mysterious voice sounded in her mind again.
Shi Wanyun smiled slightly.
Fortunately, this mysterious voice could only transmit information to her mind instead of directly reading what she was thinking.
Otherwise, no matter how well Lou Feier performs, it will be useless.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the trunk of the World Tree.
"How do we get up there?" Lou Feier looked around, clearly impatient. "Is it the same as ours, where we all rely on roots to get up there? There are no roots here either?"
Before she finished her words, there was a rustling sound above the heads of the three women.
They looked up and saw a thick World Tree root extending from the dense canopy of the World Tree and reaching downwards.
The roots extended vertically to the ground, and then a hole gradually opened up on the wall of the roots that was wide enough for two people to pass through.
"Are you letting us in?" Lou Feier asked curiously.
She was genuinely curious.
This is completely different from their world.
Or is it that the World Tree over there can actually do the same, but they just don't know how to use it yet
"Well, let's go in, you first."
"What? Are you afraid that we will run away?" Lou Feier rolled her eyes at her and walked in.
Jin Yue followed closely behind.
Shi Wanyun entered last.
Then, the hole in the root squirmed and closed, and the root retracted upward, entering the interior of the World Tree within a few seconds.
…
"So, according to the order from above, I teleported those three people to a small island in the Atlantic Ocean."
The man explained everything to Xu Xin and Xu Ying in a flattering manner.
"There is a world tree up there. Our boss will meet them in person and make them completely submit to us. It is said that they are all people that Xu something trusts very much. Maybe they are all the ones in his bed. When the time comes, they will stab Xu something in the back in bed. Hahahaha, it's funny just thinking about it!"
The man laughed as he spoke. "Let that guy resist there, causing us to work overtime! Good thing he died!"
He already felt that Xu Xin was doomed to die.
Xu Xin's face looked a little ugly.
He felt that the three people who knew the truth and had been injected with genetic drugs would not be persuaded or controlled by words or temptations, but if they did something to them...
"Which island? Give me the coordinates." Xu Ying asked immediately, "Our goal is also to destroy the World Tree. Since there is such a person, let's go and take a look."
"Ah! No wonder the maintainers of order came here." The man suddenly realized, "Sure enough, the World Tree is giving the gods a headache. That Xu Shike is really amazing."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Xu Xin frowned.
"Oh, okay, it's like this..." The man gave Xu Ying the coordinates, then scratched his head and said, "Well, you may not be able to meet them now, because I accidentally sent them to the wrong place..."
… ha
"The people over there told me that the three women hadn't arrived yet, so I went to look for anything unusual in that woman's tree house, and found that it seemed like they had been sent to the desert... I was just about to go look for them in the desert, and then you guys came..."
So that’s how it is…
wrong!
Sent to the desert?!
"Well, it should be fine..."
The man laughed and said, "Isn't Shi Wanyun one of us? She can teleport, too. I don't really believe she's really with us, so I bought another insurance. I tampered with her tree house to affect her. In the next few days, whenever she activates the teleportation, no matter where she sets her destination, she will be teleported to that isolated island... Fortunately, I bought the second insurance..."
By the way, Shi Wanyun can teleport.
It really doesn't matter.
"Then let's go." Xu Ying stomped her feet lightly, and a purple-black vortex appeared under her feet.
This made the man's mouth wide open: "Oh my god, you can teleport just by stomping your feet! The new technology of the Order Maintainer is too powerful..."
"Well... what should we do with him?" Xu Ying looked at the man.
"What else can I do?" Xu Xin glanced at him and sneered.
