At this time, the four huge ships had been completely submerged in the light column and disappeared.
But everyone present knew that the giant ship had not left, because the purple-black light column was still bending.
"It's better not to let it out." At this time, Wen Guixin said, "It talked to me inside. If it appears around here, it may really cause big problems. It's better to let me enter the bracelet and ask it about the situation."
This is indeed a method.
"I'll come along too." Xu Ying said.
Xu Xin stopped talking nonsense, nodded to the two of them, and then simply turned the bracelet to take them in.
The remaining few people looked at each other, nodded, and continued to move closer to the purple-black light column tacitly.
At this time, they were still about ten kilometers away from the purple-black light column, but only less than five kilometers away from the edge of the dense crown of the nearest of the three world trees surrounding the purple-black light column.
At this time, the surrounding buildings have become much more complex and taller than those in the marginal areas.
Qin Fu looked at the ground and said, "This is no longer sandy land. This should be considered soil. The density of vegetation around here has increased dramatically, and there are more and more strange plants."
The ground here is indeed much more solid. If not for this, the buildings here would not have become so tall.
"This alien invader said he liked living in the desert, but he finally found an oasis." Zeng Tao stepped on the ground hard. "The soil should be of high quality, right?"
She was so strong that the ground shook when she stepped on it.
"Be gentle on me." Lou Feier patted her head and whispered, "Do you want us to be discovered?"
“Oh oh oh…” Zeng Tao shrank her head, then she controlled her own gravity, making her body as light as a normal little girl.
"The soil level is not high." Xu Xin said, looking towards the World Tree in the distance, "These soils should not have existed originally, but have been changed by the World Tree."
When Xu Xin and his team were planting their World Tree, the relatively low-grade soil around the World Tree gradually became fertile and upgraded to high-grade soil.
Now, the soil under the world tree on Xu Xin's side has basically become purple-level soil.
The soil inside the World Tree is also similar.
And here...
"The soil under our feet is just ordinary white-grade soil. However, as we get closer to the World Tree, the density of green-grade soil begins to increase, followed by blue-grade soil." Xu Xin used his identification ability to look into the distance, "Under the World Tree, I saw dots of purple."
"Only a few purple-level ones?" Zeng Tao pouted. "Our world trees are basically all purple-level, right? It seems that our world trees are much stronger than the ones here. Their three world trees have been planted for thousands of years, right? It only has this little impact."
"Don't forget, we were in the jungle, but this is a desert," Jin Yue said.
Xu Xin nodded.
The scattered purple-grade soils he saw were originally just sand in the desert.
Transforming sand into soil is much better than upgrading the soil, which is already mostly green-grade, to purple-grade.
"Your ability to identify is so strong." Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin in surprise, "The World Tree must be at least five or six kilometers away from us, right?"
"Your abilities have all been enhanced, why can't mine be enhanced?" Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Li Wenxi pouted, "Your abilities have become stronger, but you never told us."
"I just haven't used the ability to identify much lately."
Recently, the ability to identify has become optional, and there are no color levels for either their weapons or equipment.
His ability to identify is given by the biochip in his brain. Recently, he has been unable to detect the level of some things. It is probably because these new things are not included in the database of his identification ability.
Moreover, he was very familiar with everything around the World Tree, so there was really no need for him to use his identification ability.
It was not until he arrived here that he finally unlocked this long-lost ability that was almost forgotten.
But unfortunately, around the alien invaders' headquarters, in this place that even Xu Xin from another time and space was unfamiliar with, his ability to identify was still of no use, and he could basically only see the grade of the soil on the ground.
Simply put, it touches on the blind spot of his ability to identify.
"Hey, look! Those two purple-black beams of light are about to merge together!"
Wang Lei pointed at the sky behind him and whispered.
At this time, the two beams of light finally began to merge.
At the moment of touching, two purple-black light beams suddenly burst out with violent purple-black light!
"It's so dazzling!" Li Wenxi immediately covered his eyes with his hands.
Even though the color purple and black had nothing to do with the word dazzling, Xu Xin and his companions still felt it was extremely dazzling and they couldn't even open their eyes.
This situation lasted for about five seconds.
When Xu Xin and the others were able to look straight again, the two purple-black light beams had merged into a long purple-black bridge spanning the sky!
"... Those four huge ships should have been teleported over." Xu Xin said.
He turned the bracelet and released Xu Ying and Wen Guixin.
"You're so slow!" Wen Guixin complained as soon as she came out, "Hurry up and let us out... Ah! We're already connected!"
Wen Guixin saw the purple-black light bridge in the sky, her eyes solemn: "It's actually connected!"
"So, did the monster tell us what the situation was?" Wang Lei asked.
"This beam of light should be connected to our World Tree." Xu Ying also looked up at the sky. "I'm afraid their actions this time are very determined. Let's talk while walking. We don't have time to waste."
Everyone continued to move towards the teleportation beam surrounded by three world trees.
At the same time, Xu Ying and Wen Guixin told others what they had found out.
In fact, the monster had never seen the teleportation beam of light bend, nor had it ever seen the beam of light connect to another target other than the mother planet.
However, he knew that under normal circumstances, the alien invaders' giant spaceships needed to use a teleportation array to initiate their first jump.
To put it simply, similar to the launch device of a rocket, the teleportation array is actually equivalent to the starting device of the alien invaders' spaceship.
Without this giant teleportation array, the alien invaders' giant ships would not be able to start normally and enter the universe normally.
After all, if such a huge and heavy spaceship lands on a planet with strong gravity, it will be very difficult for it to fly.
"If a giant ship wants to take off or move on the surface of a planet with gravity, it will consume a lot of internal energy of the giant ship."
Xu Ying explained to everyone in a low voice while looking at the three world trees in front of them.
Although internal energy is obtained through controlled nuclear fusion and the cost is not high, controlled nuclear fusion is not a power system. It is only responsible for charging the power system, and it takes a long time to charge once used.
The energy consumed for short-distance movement on a planet with gravity is even greater than the energy consumed for a migration across the universe, which is why they use a teleportation array to start.
But if you use a super teleportation array to start it, it is equivalent to consuming external energy.
And this external energy supply...
Everyone looked towards the teleportation formation.
Around the formation, three world trees are arranged in a triangle shape surrounding the teleportation formation.
"…World Tree? Using the World Tree to absorb geothermal energy within a radius of hundreds of kilometers to supply the teleportation array?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.
"Yes, the World Tree is actually the key to providing energy source for the teleportation array." Wen Guixin nodded.
"Do you remember how our teleportation formation came about? It was activated on the top of the snow mountain during an activity on the snow mountain." Wen Guixin said, "The small teleportation formations we have are actually degraded versions of this super teleportation formation."
Degraded version
Another degraded version.
I think so.
Those teleportation arrays also require external energy supply.
But because the teleportation array is a degraded version, it does not need the world tree for supply. Instead, a degraded version of the world tree - the tree house is enough.
When I thought about it this way, it suddenly became clear to me and everything connected.
The tree house is a degraded version of the World Tree, and the teleportation array there is a degraded version of the super teleportation array.
They are all degraded technologies, which is understandable.
The teleportation array is the technology of alien invaders. They give their own technology to humans for use. How can they possibly give us real technology
Even if it is a degraded version, the alien invaders probably wouldn't want to give it if it weren't for the survivor selection.
But they didn't expect that the technology of the teleportation array they activated earlier actually originated from the giant ship launcher...
"So, as long as the teleportation array starts to move, it basically means that the giant ship is about to be deployed." Xu Ying said, "Because if it is just one person or a relatively small number of people taking action, using the 'teleportation device' will be enough."
That's true.
"So, you should understand now," Wen Guixin looked at the purple-black light bridge that pierced the sky, "The teleportation formation has not been moved for a thousand years. This time, the other party is determined to get us."
"So..." Zhao Xiaochuan looked at the World Tree that was already so close, and he really didn't understand, "Why on earth are they so crazy that they have to launch four giant ships to go there... ? Aren't giant ships used to cross the sea of stars? But they launched them thousands of years later and went through so much trouble just to... cross half a planet to fight humans?"
"Yeah, I wanted to ask that too!" Zeng Tao looked confused. "I've said so much, but the more I talk, the more confused I get... Although it's not nice to say this, doesn't it feel like... shooting a cannon at a mosquito?"
"That's because..."
Xu Ying explained the monster's reason for his guess.
The monster told them that the other party was most likely... anxious.
Of course, the reason for the urgency was not mainly on Xu Xin and his team's side.
It is likely that their internal conflicts have been intensified to a new level again, so they are anxious.
The intensification of internal conflicts is related to Xu Xin and their world tree.
Of course, the biggest reason should be the monster.
It was a monster that had played tricks on the alien invaders of this time and space for fifty years. It was a monster that had made the alien invaders bear the disgust and feed humans for fifty years.
The monster's betrayal and escape were the result of a dereliction of duty by the leader who trusted it, which greatly reduced the leader's popularity among the people.
After all, they were fooled for fifty years before the abnormality was discovered, and many of their compatriots were even subjected to experiments.
If this happened to an elected leader in some countries thousands of years ago, and such a big mistake had happened, his support rate would have plummeted and he would have resigned.
The leader of the alien invaders chose to send out a large army to divert internal conflicts and suppress humans first.
It wants to destroy the world tree owned by the humans who are now showing their edge, where the monsters may be, and kill all the humans in the world tree.
But the result was that the drone troops and mutant creature troops it sent to destroy the World Tree not only failed to quickly defeat the opponent, not only failed to win face for it, but even sent a call for help back.
They were beaten by the humans they had always looked down upon and had to turn back for help!
This is simply a slap in the face of the leader!
If this news gets out, the leader will lose face and the voices against it will probably burst into the sky.
No, maybe it has already been spread.
Therefore, it seems understandable that in this situation, the angry leader directly led four giant ships to the battle.
It not only wants to kill Xu Xin and the others, but more likely wants to regain its face, and...
Flex your muscles.
It is showing its weapons to those who oppose it, telling them that it controls four huge ships, and if they want to rebel, they should think twice.
"Come to think of it, our actions here might be adding fuel to the fire." Xu Ying pursed her lips, as if she wanted to laugh, but held it back.
"… You mean, stealing the scarlet crystal?" Xu Xin's eyes moved, and then he thought of something and wanted to laugh, "Could it be that the other party misunderstood me?"
"Yes, it's very likely." Xu Ying said, "We have been detonating factories here and even killed an alien invader. It is impossible that they didn't notice it, but they haven't taken any action yet... No, in fact, they have already taken action.
The rise of the giant ship just now was their reaction.
Under normal circumstances, the giant ship should be started only after the target of the teleportation array is determined, and quickly enter the teleportation array. This is the most energy-efficient way.
But you also saw the actions of the four giant ships just now. The transmission beams haven’t even been connected yet, and the four giant ships took off and began to hover. "
Xu Xin smiled: "The other party misunderstood. They thought that the continuous explosions in the factory were because the alien invaders who were dissatisfied with the leader began to try to steal the red crystal and oppose his rule. So, instead of coming to stop them, they thought of raising the giant ship earlier to intimidate the 'opposition to stealing the red crystal'."
It's a pity that the ones who stole the red crystal were not the "opposition", but Xu Xin and his group.
Of course, Xu Xin and the others were also scared to death.
"Yes. This is what the monster speculated." Wen Guixin nodded, "I also think it makes sense."
"So, if we follow this conjecture..."
Xu Xin stopped.
Everyone stopped as well.
If they took a few more steps forward, they would step under the canopy of the alien invaders' world tree.
"The base of the alien invaders is now emptier than ever before. This... should be certain." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
"I think it's certain." Xu Ying nodded, "Now is the best time in a thousand years!"
Everyone was in high spirits.
"This best opportunity can only last until... Brother Chaoyang and the others can no longer hold on." Wang Lei said.
"Then let's not waste any more time." Xu Xin said immediately, "The monster has already told us the location of the red crystal. It's in the underground space of one of the world trees!"
Xu Xin looked at the world tree.
The underground space is not the underground world, but is directly below the World Tree where the World Tree console is located.
The place where Ji Chaoyang and his men are fighting now is the underground space of their world tree.
The monster had already told them which world tree the scarlet crystal was located in.
It’s the one in front.
The monster also gave them a way to enter the world tree.
"Act immediately." Xu Xin looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is responsible for their own tasks and must not make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, Brother Xin!"
"let's go!"
