At this time, the petrified biological community has been controlled by the long seal.
Chang Yin ordered all petrified creatures to wait outside the Crystal City, while he followed Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang into the World Tree.
The scene in the World Tree shocked him so much that he was speechless.
When he learned that the flow of time in the World Tree was a hundred times faster than in the outside world, he was shocked beyond words.
“There is such a magical place…”
Xu Xin even vaguely saw that the stone hole of the seal was trembling.
It's truly a spectacle.
At this time, the World Tree was in the active period, and many people were working and playing outside.
Although Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang did not carry the long seal and moved around in the most crowded areas, they were still seen by many people.
The group of people were all stunned, but did not come closer. Instead, they talked among themselves from a distance.
Some of them had seen petrified creatures before. In their minds, petrified creatures should be enemies, so they did not dare to approach rashly, even though Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were right next to them.
The two also discovered that the long seal caused quite a stir.
"Come to my place." Ji Chaoyang said.
"Okay." Xu Xin nodded.
Ji Chaoyang's residence is closer.
Soon, the two of them brought Changyin to the villa where Ji Chaoyang lived.
"Come to think of it, this seems to be my first time here. I heard that Sister Xuefei lives with you?"
After the three of them sat down, Xu Xin looked around Ji Chaoyang's room and said.
"Yes. Xuefei should be busy with her new potion in the tree house now." Ji Chaoyang replied.
“I see.”
Although Xu Xin really wanted to ask Qi Xuefei what her new medicine was, now was not the time to ask.
Chang Yin was so shocked by everything in the World Tree that he was speechless.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Seeing Ji Chaoyang and Xu Xin both looking at him, Chang Yin came back to his senses and asked with some difficulty.
He felt his heart trembling because this place gave him the taste of his hometown.
"It's like this..."
Xu Xin briefly explained to him what happened after he said goodbye to him last time, and finally concluded: "At least now, it's safe here."
"You actually... You actually have your own territory. This is really..."
There was still disbelief in Chang Yin's words.
“Tell us your story.”
"… good."
Changyin’s story is not complicated.
When Xu Xin and his group left, he stayed in the underground world.
At that time, Xu Xin and others helped him find Xue, but they didn't find Xiaohong, so he had to stay.
After that, he hid the snow and continued with his work.
His experiments made breakthroughs step by step, but there was no news from Xiaohong.
This made him very agitated, so much so that when his experiment reached the last stage and the last step, he was unable to make any progress, as if he had reached a bottleneck.
It was obvious that he only needed to make one more breakthrough before he could control the giant stone beast.
And just at that moment, the monster appeared.
That's right, the monster came to him personally.
The monster told him in unproficient human language that Xiaohong was with it, and as long as he successfully completed the experiment, it would release Xiaohong and let Xiaohong reunite with it.
At the same time, it also has a requirement, which is to let Changyin work for it for a period of time to replicate and expand the petrified creatures.
After learning that Xiaohong was safe, Changyin finally agreed to the monster's request.
The monster also warned him that it knew where he had hidden the snow, so he should not have any bad intentions.
The experiment had already entered the final stage. After Chang Yin calmed down and focused on the experiment, just one day later, the first petrified beast was successfully controlled.
The monster fulfilled its promise and sent Xiaohong back, and the family of three was reunited.
At the same time, after knowing that Changyin had real talent and skills, the monsters' attitude towards them became very friendly. They no longer had the threatening attitude as before, but instead asked him to continue conducting experiments here.
And the monster also promised to ensure his safety.
Although it was the monster who tricked them into going underground and was the source of everything, Chang Yin still agreed.
Because the monster's strength is unfathomable, if he turns against it, he has no idea what the consequences will be.
Since the monster's attitude at the moment is relatively friendly and I have nowhere to go, I might as well stay here for now.
In his opinion, as long as he was with Xue and Xiaohong, it didn't matter where he was.
This vast underground world is much better than the previous dungeon.
So, Changyin continued the petrification experiment on the giant beast.
The petrified behemoth that can be completely controlled has begun mass production.
During this period of time, Changyin and his colleagues were indeed completely free and were not asked to do anything else.
However, this relaxed state did not last long.
Then something happened that shocked them.
For some unknown reason, the flow of time in the area where they were located became abnormally fast.
The strange flow of time makes everything around except this area seem to be frozen.
…
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other.
The timing is right.
The flow of time in the underground world became extremely fast, which should be the moment when the world tree matures.
At that time, when Xu Xin entered the World Tree for the first time and went down to the underground world with Lou Feier and others, several petrified pterosaurs came to attack them. When they left, they also saw a group of petrified beasts in the distance.
At that time, Changyin and the others were still there.
However, the second time he and Ji Chaoyang went down to verify the speed of time, the underground world was already very quiet.
"Are you guys leaving there immediately?" Xu Xin asked.
"Yes, because the situation is too strange." Chang Yin nodded.
…
The monster was not always in the place where the long seal experiment was carried out. It just teleported here once a day to check on the situation.
But as luck would have it, when the flow of time suddenly changed, the monster was here.
The monster at that time immediately announced that it would withdraw from the area, citing the abnormal speed of time flow as the reason.
Its attitude is very firm.
…
After a little thought, Xu Xin understood why the monster was so determined.
The sudden abnormality in the flow of time may have reminded the monster of the collapsed space and time.
Because when the space-time was about to collapse, different flow rates occurred in different regions.
Although its mental state was very confused during the last period of that time and space, it still had a very deep memory of that shocking situation.
Therefore, it is normal to want to escape from this very abnormal place first.
But no matter what the situation is, let's run away first. There is no way we can stay here.
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that at that time he was still worried whether the lackeys in the underground world below would use the speed of time to develop rapidly. Now it seems ridiculous.
When encountering this kind of strange time flow situation, a normal person would think about getting away from it immediately.
Even if you are very curious about this place and want to study it, you should transfer the important things first and then make long-term plans, instead of staying here directly.
It was indeed a very normal choice for this group of people to leave at that time.
It was a very correct choice, after all, it was not far from the bottom of the World Tree.
Now, the area affected by time has completely become the territory of Xu Xin and his team.
"Although I don't know what exactly is going on, I feel that it is not appropriate to stay here for long." Chang Yin said, "So, we left."
"Where did you go?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
"I don't know either." Chang Yin shook his head.
…
The monster seemed to have used the technology of alien invaders to build a huge portal, sending those petrified beasts into the portal one by one and teleporting them to another location.
It was still somewhere in the underground world, but Chang Yin had no idea where exactly it was.
After all the stone creatures came over, the huge portal closed, leaving only a strange columnar device in its place.
In this area, there are still huge beasts everywhere, which is very dangerous.
But fortunately, the controlled petrified beasts have also been teleported here, and there are a lot of them.
So, without much effort, Changyin controlled the petrified beasts to clear out a safe area.
After making sure it was safe, Changyin and his family were finally sure that the monster did not follow them.
But they didn't know how to leave the area, so they chose to camp there and wait.
…
"Wait a minute, I want to ask you something." Xu Xin interrupted, "I want to know, before you left, where did the super beast that was suppressed in your prison go?"
The area under the prison had become empty when Xu Xin and Xu Ying went down to explore.
The "Zerg Queen" that Xu Ying said could easily create a large Zerg army disappeared.
Chang Yin shook his head: "I don't know about this either, because that guy was in a hurry. Xue Xiaohong and I were actually the first group to leave. I have no idea what happened after that."
All right.
It seems that we need to ask that monster about this matter.
"Go on."
"Actually, there's nothing much to say."
Long seal road.
…
For Chang Yin, building a place to live is just a matter of stomping his feet.
Just stomp your feet and the stone houses will automatically pop up from the ground.
So, although they were unfamiliar with the place, Changyin's family didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
With a group of petrified giant beasts and insects as their guards, and no longer having to conduct high-intensity experiments like before, it is truly safe and comfortable here.
So Changyin and his family lived there safely for about two days.
…
"It should be two days." Chang Yin said uncertainly, "Because it is an underground world, there are no clocks or other objects that can be used to refer to time. I am not sure."
"What happens next?" Xu Xin asked.
"... After that, I came here." The stone-printed hand clenched into a fist and hammered its stone leg, making a "click" sound. "After listening to your explanation just now, I understand that it must be that guy who brought me and these giant beasts here."
As he spoke, he stood up and said to Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, "That guy must be inside your world tree. Can you take me to see him? I'm worried about Xue and Xiaohong. I don't know why they didn't come together."
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other and nodded.
"Okay, we'll take you there."
…
The last time Xu Xin came here, there were three tree houses. Now there are five, and the monster has planted two more here.
At this time, Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Chang Yin and the monster were sitting in the tree house.
Behind the monster, there was a little guy hiding. It opened the only two eyes on its face and looked at the three people in front of it curiously.
"You actually have a child too..." Chang Yin said in surprise.
“… It’s my child, so to speak.”
The eyes at the back of the monster's head opened, and it glanced at the little monster, then said, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, your wife and children are still where they are. I just teleported you and most of the stone creatures to the ground, and then sent you to this world tree. I left some of the stone beasts behind, so don't worry about their safety."
"… That's good." Chang Yin was obviously relieved, and then asked in confusion, "Why did you bring only me and half of the stone creatures here, and use this method?"
Changyin did not show any hostility towards the monster, and his tone was not serious.
He seems to have a pretty good relationship with the monsters.
"Because, only in this way can we avoid being discovered by those guys and get you to the World Tree as quickly as possible."
The monster was silent for a moment, then said, "Within the influence range of this World Tree, I can only teleport myself, but I can no longer use the previous method to teleport you here, so I can only send you to the nearest unaffected area and then let you come over."
"Then why do we have to let them be completely controlled and lose consciousness?" Xu Xin asked.
“… This is faster. And I’m also worried that he might escape.” The monster looked at Changyin.
"Run away." Chang Yin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "Where can I run to? The ground has already been completely changed beyond recognition, where else can we go?"
The monster was silent.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both had a strange light flashing in their eyes.
The origin of Changyin is really a mystery.
When Xu Xin first met Chang Yin, he had already heard him talk about his own experience.
This world had been invaded by red light, and half of the creatures on the planet had turned into monsters. Chang Yin was the first to tell him this.
Chang Yin is the person who survived the disaster.
However, Chang Yin said at the time that the disaster occurred fifty years ago, and he only stayed in the underground world for fifty years.
But the fact is that the disaster happened thousands of years ago.
In other words, Chang Yin and his family are actually the people who have survived from thousands of years ago to the present day!
Now there are only two possibilities.
The first one is that Changyin was deceiving him at that time.
The second possibility is that Changyin did not deceive him, but his own perception was wrong.
Xu Xin had a guess.
Chang Yin did not live from a thousand years ago to the present.
Because when he met the first group of survivors, his body had not yet turned to stone.
Without his petrified body, it would be impossible for him to survive thousands of years.
Then there is only one possibility.
Chang Yin has also experienced time travel!
Yes, that's it!
It is precisely because Chang Yin has experienced time travel that Xu Xin’s mind-reading ability cannot read his thoughts.
This basically makes sense!
It turns out that you have also experienced time travel, Changyin.
The key point now is whether Chang Yin actively traveled through time or he himself was unaware that he was traveling through time.
No matter which possibility it was, Xu Xin had a lot of questions to ask him.
Especially, about the question of why he was petrified.
Where does his petrification ability come from
There are so many secrets about the Changyin family.
In fact, he really wanted to ask just now, but because Chang Yin was in a hurry to find the monster to ensure the safety of Xue and Xiao Hong, Xu Xin brought him here first.
"I still don't understand a little bit." Chang Yin asked doubtfully, "Before the petrified beasts were petrified, they all had blood veins with mutations, so you were able to control the petrified creatures, but... why were you able to make me lose consciousness?"
Yes, why was Changyin controlled
Xu Xin was also puzzled by this.
"... Don't forget, it was me who asked Xu Xin and the others to bring you and your family out of the underground city." The monster opened a few of its eyes and said, "I have been following you for fifty years. During these fifty years, I have been very interested in you."
Chang Yin was silent for a few seconds, then said, "You figured out a way to control me in these fifty years? Yes... That voice in my head, the one that told me to find the stone statue altar and worship it to regain my human form, must be you."
"It wasn't me, but I did order it." said the monster.
Stone statue altar.
Xu Xin's heart moved.
The altar where he first saw the blood-marked creature.
The first blood-veined creature he had ever seen, the blood-veined rabbit, jumped out from the broken stone statue on the altar.
Later, the altar was destroyed by Qin Fu's actions.
At that time, Qin Fu also took out a key that could open the door to the third floor of the Crystal Palace, and led a blood-marked troll to Xu Xin's tree house. Fortunately, it was killed directly by Xu Xin with a powerful weapon.
Although he probably isn't dead.
That altar is related to monsters
But the altar contains the key to open the door to the Crystal Palace, and the blood-marked troll is determined to protect that key.
That altar is also related to Xu Xin from another time and space
Xu Xing felt that his head was a little confused.
… In short, the monster may not be as ignorant of stone creatures as it says.
Since it can use the stone creature altar, it must know something.
Just look at it and the long seal and see how to explain it.
