Once you return to the World Tree, your mentality will be affected.
Thinking about the ample time, Xu Xin and Xu Ying both felt that it was time to take a break.
After coming down from the tree house, Li Wenxi leaned against the trunk of the tree house and waited for them.
"Ah, you're finally down. What did you talk about just now?" Li Wenxi came over and hugged his arm.
"Nothing much, just talking about the petrified creatures' attack tomorrow." Xu Xin explained, "But it's still too early for the inside of the World Tree."
The petrified creatures will not arrive until at least the next day at dawn. Calculating the internal time, there are still nearly two months left.
"Ah, didn't Yingying say that we don't need to worry?" Li Wenxi looked up at the tree house, "Huh? Where's Yingying? Why didn't she come down?"
"She just teleported away and said she wanted to walk around here by herself and wouldn't disturb us." Xu Xin shrugged.
"Oh... Hey, did you miss me?"
"Um... I was only out for a few hours."
"Huh, I've been here for a full half month!" Li Wenxi pouted slightly, "The time difference here is really uncomfortable!"
"Who makes you so important? During the time without you, our explorers were almost at a standstill." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"So, during the half month you were away, I mined resources like crazy! Now our metal and ore resources are very abundant, and they will last for a long time at least. Next time you go out, take me with you!"
"Forget it. You don't have any ability to fight and protect yourself. It would be bad if you encounter any danger. You'd better stay here obediently." Xu Xin patted her head, "We will only go out once more."
"Hmm? Ah, are you going to the underground world?" Li Wenxi suddenly realized, then pursed her lips, "Well, then I won't go. It's useless for me to go down."
"By the way, what exactly happened when you two were in the underground world? I still don't know." Xu Xin asked.
"Ah... You should ask Yingying about this kind of thing. I'm not too sure. And..." Li Wenxi hesitated for a moment, then patted his arm, "Oh, you'll know when you go down."
"Oh... Then take me around here. You guys have been working really hard in the past half month."
"Hey, right!"
Li Wenxi first took Xu Xin back to her own room.
She now lives in a villa which looks very luxurious. It has a large yard with flowing water, a pavilion, and even colorful flowers. It is a typical Chinese style.
"The tree house is no longer inhabited?" Xu Xin asked with some surprise.
"A tree house is not as comfortable as a small villa." Li Wenxi led Xu Xin into the courtyard. "Besides, our tree house has been requisitioned, and its main function now is not to live in it."
"Oh, I saw that."
There are many villas in this area, and there are three different jungles around the villa residential area.
One is a fruit forest for growing fruits, one is an economic forest used for greening and timber production, and the other is a tree house forest.
All the tree houses are now planted in one area.
And the survivors have all moved into this villa forest.
"Now the functions of the tree house have been unlocked. Each tree house is a super factory."
Li Wenxi looked at the dense green forest of tree houses outside the courtyard: "We are not in any danger in the World Tree, so it would be a waste to use it as a living place. So Ji Chaoyang suggested that we all stop living in the tree houses and contribute the tree houses to be used as production workshops."
"This decision makes sense." Xu Xin was a little surprised. "Does everyone support it?"
"Of course I support you!" Li Wenxi opened the door of the villa, turned around and smiled, "Their tree houses are so small, they can't wait to live in a big villa!"
"Well... I'll transplant my tree house in later." Xu Xin touched his chin, "My tree house is so large, has so many floors, and is very powerful. It can only work when placed in the World Tree."
"Then I'll go with you!"
"Hmm? All this together?"
"Of course. If you go out for one minute, I will have to wait inside for nearly two hours!"
"Ah... Indeed."
"Hmm!
”
Suddenly, a cry came from the second floor of the villa, and a small brown and white figure with a big tail climbed down the stairs and jumped into Xu Xin's arms in two jumps.
“Oh my!”
The little guy rubbed against his arms.
"This little guy is just like you. He lies on the window sill and stares blankly all day long. He won't move even if I grab his tail." Li Wenxi reached out and touched Keke's little head. "He's looking forward to your return."
“嘤…” Coco’s little paws grabbed onto Xu Xin’s clothes and refused to let go.
It seemed to regret very much that it did not go out with Xu Xin.
"You little guy, wasn't it you who didn't want to go out with me at the beginning?" Xu Xin pinched its furry ears.
"Oh...oh!" It rubbed against Xu Xin's arms again, then raised its little head and waved its paws, indicating that he must take it with him next time.
"well."
And Ah Fu, who was hanging upside down on the stair railing, flapped his wings and flew down.
"Are they all living here with you?" Xu Xin also touched Ah Fu's head, looked at Li Wenxi and asked.
"Uh... not really." Li Wenxi pulled Xu Xin to sit down. "The Silver King lives outside. It seems to like being with the sheep very much."
Well... there are buffets all around, who doesn't like that
"Mimi has been outside the World Tree the whole time. She hasn't come in yet." Li Wenxi stretched out on the sofa. "I haven't been out to see it either. I was too busy before and didn't dare to go out casually. If I go out for ten minutes, a whole day will pass inside."
"Ah... Mimi."
Mimi, as the leader of the group of mutant creatures around, has been staying with them since the siege.
Although they suffered heavy casualties at that time, the remaining ones were all extremely powerful.
Still a formidable fighting force.
"Also, the pangolin family and the group of pangolins that we subdued before are now living in the underground world. They seem to like it there more. I wanted to bring them back, but they were unwilling to do so, so I didn't force them. Anyway, they are needed for mining every time, and it is more convenient for them to live underground."
"Bing!" Coco drew a big circle with her two little paws and waved them a few times, "Bing!"
What it means is that the two pangolins, which were originally smaller than it, have now grown very big.
"Keke has been following me downstairs several times because she was bored." Li Wenxi rubbed Keke's belly, then thought of something, "Oh, right! Your egg..."
At this time, there was a sound of wind outside the window, and then a small gray-white pterosaur flew in from the window.
Seeing Xu Xin and Li Wenxi sitting there, the little pterosaur cried "Ah!" and used its front and hind legs to crawl in front of Xu Xin and Li Wenxi.
"Yes, that's what I want to talk about!" Li Wenxi grabbed the wings of the little pterosaur and shook it. "Gray was hatched from that egg. You probably haven't seen it yet!"
"I've seen it. When I entered the World Tree, it flew in front of me." Xu Xin and the little pterosaur looked into each other's big eyes.
"Oh? Is this true? Huihui is very shy. Except for me and Yajun who were there when it hatched, it won't let anyone touch it. It will fly away if someone gets close to it."
Well, I am indeed shy.
Just now, Xu Ying wanted to touch it, but it refused to let her. And when those survivors came over, it just flew away.
At this time, the little pterosaur Huihui came to Xu Xin, put his big head on his knees, and then narrowed his eyes.
"Ah... I'm really close to you." Li Wenxi was a little surprised.
"Haha, it's different from other egg-laying animals. It was conscious when it was still an egg. I was very familiar with it at that time." Xu Xin touched its beak. "Also, if I hadn't found it on the snowy mountain, it would never have hatched in its condition at the time. It might have frozen to death there. Maybe that's why it got close to me."
“I see.”
"You named it Huihui? What a concise name."
"As if your name Coco Silver King Mimi sounds very nice." Li Wenxi said unhappily.
"Hmm!" Coco waved her little paws.
"Okay, Coco is a nice name." Li Wenxi rubbed its ears and said.
"Hmm!" Coco raised her little head.
"Well, it's still young. It's only been... let me think, three days since it hatched?"
“… It’s this big in just three days?” Xu Xin was a little surprised.
He thought it would take at least half a month, but it turned out to be only three days.
His height when standing on the ground is only up to his waist
The wingspan must be about two or three meters, right
Although that egg was also very big and could be called a giant egg, it was simply incomparable to the current Huihui.
"It should be the blood of a giant beast, right?" Li Wenxi was not sure, "It does grow very fast."
"Bing!"
Coco suddenly jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and jumped onto the back of the little pterosaur.
"ah!"
The little pterosaur let out a somewhat childish cry, then flew out of the window with Coco.
"Oh... Keke can also fly on a pterosaur." Xu Xin couldn't help but smile.
"These two little guys have been playing like this for the past two days." Li Wenxi looked at the shadows outside the window that were getting smaller and smaller, then stood up with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk too."
"Okay." Xu Xin also stood up and looked out the window. "You say, when Huihui grows up, can he take us flying?"
"Surely it can? And with its current growth rate, it won't be long before it can achieve manned flight!"
“That’s really something I’m looking forward to.”
The two took a short walk around the already constructed area.
Eventually, the two arrived at the Tree House Jungle.
Although there are not many trees in the jungle before us, only less than three hundred, the crown area of each tree is very large, and the whole jungle looks very lush and full.
"All the tree houses in the World Tree are here." Li Wenxi pointed to a tree house, "My tree house is there too."
"Well... I'll go out and transplant my tree house up there too."
"Then I'll go with you."
As soon as they came out of the World Tree, both of them felt a sense of urgency, and they raced against time to move Xu Xin's World Tree in, which took more than a minute.
But even so, two hours passed inside.
Before this, except for his tree house, the tree houses of the explorers had been moved into the World Tree. Now even his was moved in.
Today, there are only a dozen ordinary tree houses left outside, which are used as watchtowers and communication stations.
"Your tree house is worth dozens of theirs." Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin's tree house that covered a large area and sighed, "It seems that you don't need to live in a villa at all. Your tree house itself is much better than a villa."
"My tree house will soon be fully operational for making weapons and other tools, right? I don't want to live above a factory production workshop when I can live in a villa."
Xu Xin shook his head and looked again at the tree house that had been with him until now.
"I do need to get one more night's sleep in this tree house before I go out, though."
Because his tree house can provide a powerful ability: random amplification.
Random amplification is still very necessary, you just need to sleep for three hours.
Moreover, sleeping for three hours inside the World Tree meant that less than two minutes had passed in the outside world.
In less than two minutes, I got two super-powerful enhancements, which was a huge profit!
"Well... you're leaving soon." Li Wenxi thought about this and suddenly lost interest, "Why don't you let me follow..."
"It's good to come back this time."
"Well, okay."
…
The two finally chose to enter Xu Xin's world tree to rest.
"Oh, I think it's better not to live in a tree house." Li Wenxi said as he touched the wooden wall of the tree house.
"Why?"
"As soon as I entered the tree house, I became nervous and felt uneasy." Li Wenxi explained, "I was used to being nervous when I lived in the World Tree before, and as soon as I returned to the tree house, I naturally felt a kind of... uneasy feeling."
Will you still feel this way
Think about it, it is true. Life in a tree house is basically unstable. No one knows what kind of disaster will happen the next day, and no one knows whether they can survive the next day.
For the survivors, the tree house might be more like... a prison.
The tree house does provide shade if there is a better place to stay.
No wonder all the survivors agreed to move out of the tree house.
However, Xu Xin has never lived a leisurely life in the World Tree, and his mind has always been tense, so he cannot experience this feeling for the time being.
"Okay, I'm sleepy too, let's go to bed." Li Wenxi took Xu Xin in her arms and walked towards the bedroom, "It's time to go to bed a long time ago."
…
"Brother, wake up! Wake up!"
Xu Xin felt like he was being shaken.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Ying standing beside the bed and shaking him.
"You've slept too long!" Xu Ying said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
How long...
Xu Xin looked out the window and it was already dawn.
Ah... that's not right.
The sky here is always bright.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch.
"Ah, I slept for... eighteen hours?"
Xu Xin was surprised.
It was the first time he slept for such a long time continuously.
He had never slept so long in his entire life.
"I really am... I came here ten hours ago! My sister-in-law told me not to disturb you and let you sleep a little longer, but you have been sleeping until now! I almost thought something happened to you!"
No wonder I was woken up by her.
Xu Xin sat up from the bed.
"Where's Wenxi?"
"My sister-in-law left a long time ago. She's busy again. It seems that she plans to accumulate resources like crazy during this period of time and then take a break. Um, I'll go out first. You put on your clothes and come out quickly!"
Xu Xin put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
"Let's go to the underground world and complete the last mission of this stage." Xu Ying urged Xu Xin as she saw him coming out, "This matter has been weighing on my mind for a long time, and I can't even relax properly!"
Indeed, it's time to go to the underworld.
It's time to meet those humans who have been passed down for thousands of years.
