Xu Xin suddenly felt a little hairy all over.
"Yingying, how did you acquire the ability to travel through time and space? If I want to acquire the ability to travel through time and space, can I do it?"
Xu Xin asked.
"Ah? What's the problem?" Xu Ying was also puzzled. "Of course you can't gain the ability to travel through time and space. I have this ability because the time and space around me is unstable. It's because I'm not the person who should exist in this time and space, so I'm rejected by this world, which gives me an abnormal ability."
As she spoke, she spread her hands and said, "Perhaps this cannot be called my ability. Perhaps it should be called... a side effect. It's just that I have taken advantage of this side effect. So it's impossible for you to travel through space like me, and forget about time travel. Now even I can't do it. It will only be erased."
Then she looked at Xu Xin in confusion and said, "Didn't I tell you all this a long time ago? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Xu Xin was silent for a moment, then told everyone present everything he had seen through his map ability.
The first ones to change their expressions were Xu Ying and Ji Chaoyang.
Xu Ying's expression suddenly turned very ugly, while Ji Chaoyang frowned and fell into deep thought.
"The red dot suddenly disappeared?" Zhao Xiaochuan wondered, "Does it mean... it suddenly teleported away? But didn't Yingying say that no one except her or the people who were given the authority by you two can teleport? Wait... could it be one of us?"
He opened his eyes and looked at the others present: "Hey, hey, hey, it can't be one of you, right?"
"How is that possible?"
Qin Fu, who had been sitting lazily on the side, could not help but stand up and said, "We are friendly. The boss's map ability will not show us as the enemy's red, right? Besides, everyone present should not have been out during this period of time."
If you conceal your whereabouts and go out of the World Tree, it is basically the same as disappearing, because even if you are only out for ten minutes, it is equivalent to no news for nearly a day.
Xu Xin nodded: "They are not our people, I can be sure of that."
How could one of us be a red light spot
Xu Ying's expression became increasingly ugly, and she even grabbed Xu Xin's arm with some force.
"What does that mean?" Wang Lei was also a little puzzled, and then looked at Xu Xin and the others and said, "It's not Yingying, nor is it one of us. The transmission path has also been blocked by the World Tree. What does it mean that the red dot in Brother Xin's head suddenly disappeared?"
Qi Xuefei's eyes moved: "You all look very ugly, have you thought of something?"
At this time, Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, and Xu Ying all had gloomy faces, while Li Wenxi and others nearby also had expressions of doubt and surprise on their faces, and there was even a flash of fear in Shi Wanyun's eyes.
They all thought of a possibility, a very scary possibility.
"Xu Xin, are you sure that the red dot disappeared suddenly? Maybe it didn't disappear suddenly, but dimmed quickly?"
Ji Chaoyang, who had been thinking with his head down, looked at Xu Xin and said, "Your ability cannot show the existence of the underground. If the other party suddenly drilled into the ground, or jumped into a deeper pit, this situation might occur."
Xu Ying also instantly turned her head to look at Xu Xin, with a glimmer of hope on her face, hoping to get a positive answer.
Xu Xin thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, it's impossible. The red dot disappeared suddenly. I am completely sure of this."
Although he was seriously injured and unable to move and was in great pain at the time, this point can be confirmed.
The brightness of that red dot was far beyond that of ordinary mutant creatures. If it turned from bright to dark, there was no way he would not be able to see it.
The red dot disappeared instantly. Even death could not disappear so quickly. In his understanding, this situation could only be teleportation.
Li Wenxi also grabbed Xu Xin's arm and said with some fear: "Could it be that the one outside is really..."
"What on earth is this?" Wen Guixin crossed her legs in dissatisfaction. "Why are you all so puzzled? So how did the red dot in Xu Xin's head disappear?"
"Let me explain." Xu Ying spoke up at this time, "Maybe I am the one who understands it best."
"My brother just said that the thing that attacked him was teleported away. Let's just assume that it was teleported away."
"It was teleported away." Xu Xin used a certain tone this time.
"You were seriously injured at the time and couldn't take care of yourself. Who knows if you saw it wrong or not!" Xu Ying glared at Xu Xin.
"Okay, okay, explain it quickly!" Wen Guixin urged.
"Well... if it was really teleported away, then it's obvious that the other party is a being with the same abilities as me." Xu Ying said in a deep voice, "It's a being that traveled from that false time and space just like me."
The existence of another time and space...
The faces of those who didn't understand what was going on changed.
"I can be sure that I am the only one left among the group of people we traveled through time and space." Xu Ying bit her lip, "In other words, the person who attacked my brother is a traveler among the alien invaders."
"And from the information we know so far, the time traveler among the alien invaders is probably... that guy."
Xu Ying's face was very ugly: "That half-human, half-monster guy. The guy that Wanyun had seen!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Wanyun's body trembled slightly and her fists clenched slightly.
According to the time inside the World Tree, several months have passed, but she still has a strong psychological trauma from that monster.
When she thought of that monster, she lost all motivation to resist.
"… It doesn't have to be that monster." Xu Xin said at this time, "Is there a possibility that the other party is also like you, with more than one person traveling back through time?"
"Isn't that even more terrifying?" Li Wenxi punched Xu Xin lightly.
"No matter how many of them came to this time and space..." Ji Chaoyang said, "In short, the people who attacked Xu Xin are very likely to be... alien invaders."
"And... it's that half-human, half-ghost monster! The most moody thing!" Xu Ying gritted her teeth.
If it was really it that attacked Xu Xin just now, then this matter would be a serious matter.
Even Xu Ying was a little afraid to walk out of the World Tree.
If I knew, in that time and space, that monster also left a huge shadow on Xu Ying!
"Well..." Wang Lei raised his hand, "Is it possible that the one who attacked Xu Xin was just a human with the same space-time ability as Yingying? I mean... it's possible that the other party could send humans back to the past, right?"
"It's basically impossible." Xu Ying shook her head. "To alien invaders, we are just disgusting cockroaches. Who would bring a few disgusting 'cockroaches' with them when traveling through time at the end of the world..."
Everyone was silent for a long time.
Zhao Xiaochuan said weakly: "All your speculations seem to be based on the premise that the red dot on the map in Brother Xin's mind suddenly disappeared because the other party teleported. Could it be that we are overthinking it? Perhaps the other party has already found a way to teleport within the range of the enemy's world tree?"
"It's unlikely." Xu Ying whispered, "If that's the case, why would that group of petrified creatures come here on foot from fifty kilometers away? Wouldn't it be better to just teleport here?"
"ah… "
"So..." Xu Xin held Li Wenxi's hand, which was holding his arm because of some anxiety, and said, "Yingying, do you mean that the one who attacked me is the half-human, half-monster guy?"
"... I'm not sure, but..." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin with some concern, "It's very likely. Even if it's not it, it must be some other alien invader. We have really been targeted by alien invaders..."
Although this speculation has not been confirmed, it is enough to make people feel a strong sense of crisis.
An alien invader from another time and space with the power of time and space!
It feels like an ultimate boss...
"I have another question. On my map, the red dot of the guy who attacked me is not as bright as the giant anaconda in the center of the lake. Does this mean that its strength is not as far-fetched as we imagined?" Xu Xin asked.
"... I don't know what brightness you mean. If it's just physical strength, the physical strength of the intermediate mutant creatures is much stronger than most of the survivors living here now, but with these weapons..."
Xu Ying took out a small pistol: "At least in a one-on-one situation, killing the opponent should not be a problem."
Xu Xin was silent.
Yes, advanced intelligent creatures have never relied on physical abilities, but on their brains, tools, and technology.
Moreover, although the brightness is not as good as the giant anaconda in the center of the lake, it is still brighter than the previous Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is already an outrageous intensity.
"Then... if this is true, how can we deal with this half-human, half-monster guy?" Zeng Tao saw that no one had spoken and couldn't help asking, "Is there no way to deal with such a strong guy?"
"How to deal with it..." Xu Ying muttered to herself, "I don't know either. If it really is that guy, I don't even know what he wants to do. No one can predict his behavior and temper."
Everyone was silent again.
This was the first time they might have faced real alien invaders, and they were a little helpless for a moment.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang said to Xu Ying: "From your tone, you know a lot about that monster, right? Can you give us a detailed introduction?"
"good."
Xu Ying also decided to tell everyone present everything she knew.
"You should all know that the monster is the descendant of the ruler of our time and space... the alien invaders, that is... a prince-like existence. And it is also a monster born from alien invaders and humans."
Everyone nodded.
She had talked about this with Xu Xin before, and Xu Xin naturally told everyone about it.
"Although I don't know why it was born by fusing two species with completely different genes, it was indeed born." When she said this, Xu Ying's eyes became slightly vague, and then she sighed and shook her head.
"In the eyes of humans, alien invaders are Cthulhu monsters that make people physically uncomfortable, and in the eyes of monsters, humans are also disgusting monsters that make them fear and disgust like cockroaches, so their existence is very sad."
"It is not even accepted by the alien invaders. The general view of the alien invaders is that it is a disgusting monster and a hybrid. But because it is the descendant of the alien invader's ruler, it can still survive among the alien invaders."
"But because all the alien invaders stayed away from it, it considered itself to be one of the alien invaders, so it initially transferred this hatred to us humans."
"During that time, this monster killed many of us simply because he disliked humans."
Xu Xin's eyes moved.
Yingying did tell him at the beginning that this monster was moody and had killed many people. If other alien invaders had not stopped it, it might have killed them all.
"What happened next?" Zeng Tao asked.
"Later, it suddenly became friendly to us humans again," said Xu Ying.
"Friendly?" Everyone was stunned.
"Well, it was friendly. At that time, it discovered our organization that was not controlled by alien invaders."
"Your organization has been discovered by it?!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.
"Well, but... anyway, it didn't attack us, and even... secretly passed on many of the alien invaders' advanced technologies to us."
"… ha?!"
"Give... give you the technology?"
"this… "
All the explorers were so surprised that they didn't know what to say.
Especially Shi Wanyun, who had met the monster before, had an incredible look on her face.
“… We don’t know why, but it really helped us a lot.”
Xu Ying's eyes flickered, and she looked at Xu Xin and forced a smile: "Brother, those weapons from another time and space that I gave you were researched and made with the high-tech technology that the alien invaders gave us."
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
She had said before that their organization had stolen the advanced technology of alien invaders, so these weapons were stronger than those in the hands of the Order Maintainers. As a result, it turned out that these technologies were not stolen by them, but...
That half-human, half-monster guy stole it and gave it to them!
Of course, this shouldn't be considered stealing for that half-human, half-monster guy.
Although it is not tolerated by alien invaders, its status is still similar to that of a prince, and it is very easy for it to obtain technology.
"With its help, our organization has made rapid progress. It can be said that without the technology it gave us, we would not have been able to invent the time machine, and the events that followed would not have been possible. Its gift has almost put our team's technological level at the same starting line as the alien invaders."
Everyone was extremely shocked.
Could it be that the existence of this half-human, half-monster had such a profound impact on them
Wang Lei couldn't help but ask: "Then... Isn't this great? Can we cooperate with it?"
"We thought so at the time." Xu Ying smiled bitterly, "But it is really... too moody. I said that no one knows what it is thinking. It can give us technology, or... kill most of our team members."
As she spoke, Xu Ying looked at everyone present and said, "You all survived the clutches of that time and space. You can be said to be... survivors among survivors."
Although she did not describe it in detail, everyone present could hear the heaviness in her tone.
There is such a thing...
"And it..."
Before Xu Ying finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed.
Then she stood up suddenly and looked around quickly, with uncertainty, shock, and a hint of panic in her eyes.
Her reaction made everyone stand up.
"What's wrong?!"
"What happened!"
"What's going on?!"
Everyone became a little panicked because of Xu Ying's performance.
"There are some things I think I can explain to you personally."
At this moment, a creepy voice suddenly came from the corner of the room!
It sounded a little weird, a little hoarse, and intermittent, as if it was a novice who had just learned the language.
Everyone's expression suddenly changed!
Everyone turned their heads to look at that corner and took out their weapons at the same time!
The black muzzles of guns were pointed at that corner, and the trigger could be pulled at any time!
"Ah..." Shi Wanyun's legs went weak and she collapsed on the sofa.
I saw a half-human, half-ghost monster appear in the corner.
It was like a mass of dark mud.
It had eyes all over its body, and its limbs were extremely uncoordinated. Only the two eyes on its face, which were in a similar position to humans, opened and looked at the people present.
"Don't be nervous. I have no hostility towards you now."
As it spoke, its terrifying mouth gradually split to the back of its head, revealing its mouthful of fangs to the shocked and panicked eyes of everyone.
It looks like it's laughing.
