The monster's plan is outrageous.
First of all, the World Tree must first demonstrate its extremely powerful strength.
A strength that makes alien invaders feel uneasy and frightened.
Although the current alien invaders are very dissatisfied with the fact that humans suddenly possess the World Tree, they actually do not take it very seriously.
Judging from the current situation of the alien invaders, the monster speculated that it was impossible for its "father" to use the military forces at his disposal to encircle and suppress the World Tree.
This starts with the current situation of the alien invaders and their perceptions of humans on Earth.
When the alien invaders invaded the earth, it was just a fleet.
Although they have been thriving on Earth for thousands of years, there has been no improvement or development in their military strength.
They just treat the Earth as a mine.
The few remaining humans on Earth have always been under their control, so they basically have no high-tech military deployment on Earth.
After all, they can dominate the entire planet just by relying on the mutated creatures spread all over the world, so why should they do anything extra
Although they were very afraid and eager for the potential of the human brain during the invasion war thousands of years ago, at this stage they have become very indifferent to this idea.
After all, thousands of years have passed, and the remaining humans are still firmly controlled and enslaved by them.
In this situation, they no longer believe that humans have the ability to harm them. Some of them even doubt whether their momentary panic to destroy the human beings on Earth was an overreaction.
Therefore, at this stage, their attitude towards humans is contempt and disdain.
Believe that human beings can no longer make any waves.
Even if humans own a world tree, they still believe that humans cannot cause any waves.
The contempt they have shown for humans on Earth over the past thousand years has already penetrated deep into their hearts.
The only people who are still concerned about human activities are basically scientists who have been studying the human brain, because only they know the potential of the human brain best.
But the leader no longer believed their words, because the scientists in this time and space had not researched anything valuable about the human brain. The leader had long looked down on them and would not listen to their "alarmist talk."
The idea that humans on Earth are extremely weak creatures with a terrifying and disgusting appearance is deeply rooted in the minds of most of them.
Xu Ying was right. Although the alien invaders did have fear about human development at first, their current view of humans is indeed the same as looking at "cockroaches."
They don't think humans can do anything great, just as humans don't think cockroaches can do anything great.
Although they have just mobilized a large force to besiege the monsters that help humans, that is because their current strategies are all related to monsters.
Compared to humans obtaining a world tree for development, they care more about whether this monster is on their side.
In their view, the monster came from the future, and what it did could really threaten their position.
As for humans, they don't care much for the time being.
At the same time, their internal situation is beginning to become chaotic.
At present, the forces of all alien invaders are in the hands of the monster's "father", the leader of the entire colony.
Because of the current relatively chaotic situation, the leaders of the alien invaders have not dispersed their forces outward for a long time, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
In other words, basically all of their forces are currently guarding around their target - the "Scarlet Crystal".
This is a very troublesome thing for Xu Xin and his team who want to destroy the "Scarlet Crystal" and drive the alien invaders out of the earth.
If you want to launch an attack over there, you must first lure those troops away from there.
Therefore, the monster proposed to make the World Tree stronger and more prominent.
It believes that humans on Earth must demonstrate sufficient strength to attract the main force of alien invaders.
Likewise, they must possess a certain level of strength to withstand attacks from alien invaders.
At the same time, the elites among them, the explorers, will cross half the planet to the other side of the earth to carry out a "decapitation operation"!
The target of the action is the scarlet crystal.
This is the monster's specific plan.
"Ah, stealing the house." Lou Fei'er said in surprise, "This plan always feels... a bit crude."
Except for Wen Guixin, everyone else among the explorers was already present.
Xu Xin had already briefly recounted to them what the alien invaders had said before.
However, he did not reveal Wen Guixin's identity for the time being.
If she wanted to talk about this matter, she would say it herself, and he would not interfere.
However, judging from the attitudes of the people in front of him, they should have guessed it even if he didn't explain it.
"It's a bit rough because it's just a preliminary plan." Xu Xin sighed and continued to have a headache.
This plan is simply to use the entire World Tree as bait.
The World Tree is now the only place where humans can live in peace. If we have to make such a decision, then...
"Burn the boats?" Ji Chaoyang said softly.
Yes, burn your boats.
Xu Xin nodded with some tiredness.
If alien invaders attack us in large numbers, we will not stop until they are wiped out.
If this approach is adopted, the conflict will be escalated to an irreconcilable level, leading to the final decisive battle.
If you fail, you will die.
but…
Xu Xin looked out the window.
A thriving scene.
The survivors and the people in the underground human base live very happily here. It can be said that this world tree has become their home.
Judging from the current situation, since the alien invaders have no intention of attacking them, their safest approach should be to develop self-defense capabilities while guarding their own paradise.
Because if they did not adopt the strategy of "stealing home", it would be absolutely impossible for them to confront the alien invaders head-on.
Except for small handheld weapons, the technology of their current weapons is not even as good as that of human weapons thousands of years ago.
The only high-tech weapon is in the bracelet that Xu Ying gave him, and there are not many of them. If it is a head-on confrontation, it cannot play a decisive role. Moreover, once Xu Ying uses it, she will be wiped out by the world.
It should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
This time, the monster didn't have any weapons in its hands.
When it left that time and space, its brain was still in a confused state, so it was naturally impossible for it to have any weapons in its hands.
After coming to this world, although its brain state has stabilized, due to its identity, the alien invaders naturally cannot give it high-tech weapons.
Compared with the alien invaders, their military force is still too weak.
"Isn't it a bit too dangerous to use this World Tree as bait?" Qi Xuefei expressed her thoughts. "This place will definitely accept more and more people in the future. Using this place as bait... can the World Tree really hold up?"
Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Ying, who was lying on the sofa in a daze, and asked, "Xu Ying, I have a question. Can the World Tree be destroyed?"
Xu Ying sat up straight on the sofa and said, "They now have the ability to destroy the World Tree."
Xu Ying's words made everyone present, except Xu Xin and Shi Wanyun, change their expressions.
"Last time, didn't Shi Wanyun receive the medicine that can be injected into the World Tree?" Xu Ying glanced at Shi Wanyun and said.
"The medicine is here." Xu Xin took out the tube of medicine.
This drug was one they had all seen before.
"Didn't they say that this medicine is useless against a mature World Tree?" Li Wenxi asked doubtfully.
"If a large amount of concentrated version of this drug is injected into the World Tree, it will still have a certain effect." Xu Ying took the tube of drug, held it in front of her eyes and said, "The effect is, the effect is to make the ground part of the World Tree plant part quickly wither and collapse in a short period of time."
"What?!"
"Can the World Tree wither directly?!"
Xu Xin's eyes drooped slightly.
When he heard the monster tell them this information, his heart was in his throat, and he immediately felt that the World Tree was not stable either.
Fortunately...
"I've said before that the World Tree has a very strong vitality. Its root system is spread over an area of hundreds of kilometers. Unless this area is completely destroyed at the same time, the World Tree cannot die."
Xu Ying put the tube in front of her on the table and said to others.
"So, this potion still cannot kill the World Tree, because it cannot kill such a vast root system of the World Tree. Its function is to prevent the World Tree from growing again for a period of time after it withers."
"How long?" Zeng Tao asked curiously.
"How long it takes doesn't matter." Ji Chaoyang looked at the tube of potion on the table, "As long as the World Tree withers, the people living in the World Tree must be exposed to the sun."
Yes. That's what matters.
Even if the World Tree is destroyed for just one second and then grows back again, it won't work.
"Then... why didn't they do this before?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked.
"Because this potion is not so easy to make." Xu Ying explained, "We need to concentrate the potion in front of us hundreds of times, and at least hundreds of liters are needed. In a short period of time, it will be injected into the trunk of the World Tree. The destructive speed of this potion will be faster than the self-healing speed of the World Tree, causing the World Tree to wither quickly."
"And concentrated medicine cannot be preserved for a long time because of its unstable nature." Xu Xin took over and continued, "Although the alien invaders invented this medicine before, they didn't have any enemies, not even imaginary enemies, so they naturally didn't have this unstable substance in their hands."
"Moreover, this substance is actually extracted from scarlet crystal. If they want to make it, they have to consume their life source, so they naturally won't do more experiments."
"Oh... the substance in the scarlet crystal will inhibit the destruction of the world tree with the white crystal as its core, right?" Qin Fu said to himself.
"In short, they already have the ability to destroy the World Tree and threaten our survival." Xu Xin tapped the table with his finger and said, "Although they have no intention of attacking us yet, we still have to remain highly vigilant."
"Are you afraid that they will sneak over and give our World Tree an injection? That's impossible. At least we will definitely find out in advance." Lou Feier was very confident in the World Tree. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't forget the special features of our World Tree."
The special thing about the World Tree is that time flows a hundred times faster inside it.
Observing the outside world from the internal control console, everything outside seemed to be stagnant.
In this situation, it is easy to observe changes in the outside world, but it is basically impossible for the other party to send someone to sneak up to the World Tree and harm it.
"If a missile with a needle was shot over from the opposite side, it would directly pierce into the World Tree, and then inject the medicine inside into the World Tree..." Qin Yunlong proposed a somewhat exaggerated idea.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's not impossible.
"If that's possible, don't worry. An anti-missile system has been installed outside." Xu Ying lay down on Li Wenxi's lap and said, "We have completed the preliminary layout inside and outside the World Tree. But there's no need to worry for now, because the other side doesn't seem to take us seriously at the moment."
On the other side of the earth, in the vast land, there is a house crawling with cockroaches.
Then let them crawl
Is this kind of thing worth mobilizing a large force to cross half the planet to remove the bugs
Not worth it.
This is probably what the alien invaders are thinking now.
"Do they really have no intention of attacking us?" Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Xin, "Do you already know what those petrified creatures outside are? They are not sent by alien invaders."
"Well, no. They came with that monster."
Xu Xin nodded.
"ah?"
"Were those petrified creatures brought here by that monster?"
All the explorers were a little surprised.
Then they all felt it was reasonable.
Ji Chaoyang nodded gently: "Yes. It should be very concerned about the survivors, especially those in Area 188. After all, we exist. The experiment underground in Area 188 should have been conducted by it."
That's right.
The behemoths in the underground world are experiments conducted by alien invaders, resulting in a large area of the underground world being filled with these giant monsters.
But it was the monster who wanted to control the underground beast by petrifying it.
"It did it?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise, "Why did it... ah, to make itself more powerful?"
"Yes." Xu Xin nodded. "After all, it has not been completely accepted by the alien invaders. For its own sake, it wants to have its own power."
Now that I think about it, Changyin was unconscious, probably because he was controlled by it in some way.
"Then those petrified creatures, including Changyin, came..."
"It came to seek refuge with us." Xu Xin said, "Although it teleported here first, the petrified creatures are restricted by the World Tree and cannot teleport directly to the World Tree. They can only teleport to the nearest location first and then walk over."
"So that's how it is..."
Everyone present probably understood the current situation.
"So what should we do next?" Wang Lei stood up and stretched his sturdy body. "I have been staying in the World Tree for a long time. My body is almost rusty! It's time to move around!"
"Don't do anything for now. Just continue what we did before." Ji Chaoyang said, looking at Xu Xin at the same time, "I think so too."
"Yes." Xu Xin nodded. "Right now, we don't even have the qualifications to show our strength to attract them. What we need to do now is to develop as quickly as possible. Before that, any plan to steal the house is meaningless. We must at least be able to protect our World Tree first!"
Fortunately, there is plenty of time inside the World Tree.
Just give them a few days of outside time, and maybe they will be able to develop well internally!
A few days... maybe
