Meanwhile, on the ground.
Xu Xin, Li Wenxi and the other three have already arrived under another world tree.
The journey was smooth and we didn't encounter any living creatures.
This surprised several people.
"Where did all those alien invaders go?" Li Wenxi lamented. "Did they all leave with those giant ships? Did they all move away?"
"Is it possible that the place under this world tree is not a place to live?" Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I know, people live in the World Tree, but..."
Li Wenxi looked in the direction of the purple-black light column.
There is a small city around the purple-black light column.
There were all kinds of strange buildings and streets, but at this moment, the city was dead silent.
"It's impossible that all of them live in the World Tree? Isn't there a small city over there?" Li Wenxi pointed over there.
"But this is near the World Tree." Lou Feier took over the conversation and said, "It's like... the backyard of a landlord's house? Ordinary alien invaders can't get close to it, right?"
"That makes sense, but..." Li Wenxi looked at the city surrounding the purple-black light column, "Why can't I see a single person over there?"
"Perhaps the alien invaders living there really left with the giant ship." Jin Yue also looked at the city and said, "The alien invaders living here should all be subordinates of the alien invader leader."
Xu Xin also nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the alien invaders' world trees are spread all over the planet, and there are only a few hundred thousand alien invaders in total.
Most of the alien invaders have their own world trees and do not live in this headquarters.
Those who stayed at the headquarters were probably all members of the alien invader army.
Now that all four giant ships have set sail, these military members will naturally go along with the ships.
"They really didn't leave anyone to protect them..." Lou Fei'er was puzzled. "I know they never thought we would come here to steal their home, but they are now experiencing intense internal conflicts. Aren't they worried that other alien invaders will come over?"
"I don't think there's anything to worry about." Li Wenxi looked up.
They are now under the canopy of the target world tree.
Looking upwards, you can see the lush and green crown of the World Tree, which appears extremely abrupt in this vast sea of sand.
"If we didn't have the Hidden Hood on us, we would have been blown to pieces before we even got close to the World Tree." Li Wenxi said, gazing at the dense tree canopy.
Her ability allows her to clearly detect the metal World Tree external weapons hidden in the canopy of the World Tree.
The number of these external weapons was much greater than she had imagined, densely packed together, and...
They are all active.
These external weapons slowly moved their heads over time, apparently automatically searching for targets.
These weapons were all in automatic mode. If they discovered us, we would be attacked by powerful firepower in an instant.
If it weren't for Zhao Xiaochuan's stealth cloak, even if Xu Ying was there and could teleport them to other places, they would not be able to escape unharmed. After all, Xu Ying couldn't take everyone away in an instant.
Maybe even Xu Ying herself couldn't react.
"Oh, yes, there are external weapons installed in the crown of the World Tree..." Lou Feier's eyebrows trembled slightly, "It was so safe along the way, I almost forgot about it..."
The protection of the World Tree itself is extremely strict.
There is no need to worry about anyone intruding.
But they didn't expect that they would have the ability like Zhao Xiaochuan to reduce their own presence and make it impossible for either biological or mechanical entities to detect their existence.
This also allows Xu Xin and his team to move easily in such a dangerous area.
"Besides, not all people have left."
Xu Xin looked at the World Tree in front of him, and then looked at the city surrounding the purple-black light column.
"My guess is that the alien invaders living in the cities near the teleportation array should all be members of the army. Since they are not in the World Tree, they can gather quickly and act more quickly. Those who live in the World Tree should be some higher-level personnel, or researchers, etc."
This conjecture is most likely the plan of the leader of the alien invaders.
Having all the army members live outside the World Tree, in addition to protecting the World Tree and making it easier to mobilize, may also be a way of preventing army members from bringing weapons into the World Tree.
In this way, even if there are some individuals with two minds among the army members, even if they have powerful weapons in their hands, they will not be able to harm the core members.
He warned the three women around him: "So, after entering the World Tree, you must be careful. If my guess is true, there really aren't many alien invaders outside the World Tree now, but there may still be many inside the World Tree!"
Li Wenxi nodded in deep thought: "Yes, it's impossible that the high-ranking officials of the alien invaders also set out with the giant ship? There must be many alien invaders in the World Tree, and they must be key players!"
Xu Xin thought for a moment.
Wouldn't it be easier to catch some of them if they were all alien invaders doing research or living a life of luxury
They might even be able to kill some of them.
"Bing!"
Coco cried out again in Xu Xin's arms, and pointed her little paws in a direction.
Coco had already pointed them in the right direction many times just now.
"Keke, we're almost at the trunk. Do you really know where to enter the World Tree?" Lou Feier bent down and looked at Keke and said, "Don't lead us the wrong way. Our lives are in your hands."
"Hmm!" Coco raised her little head, indicating that there was no need to worry and that it would be right to trust it.
The four of them continued to move forward in the direction indicated by Coco.
There was still silence all around, nothing happened.
This silence felt a bit scary, and Li Wenxi subconsciously moved a little closer to Xu Xin.
"Hmm!" Coco twisted in Xu Xin's arms, as if she wanted to jump out again.
"Coco, I told you not to jump out of my cloak!" Xu Xin pushed the little guy back.
This little guy might really not be discovered by the other party, but even if there is only a slight possibility, he will not let Coco do whatever he wants.
“Oh…oh…oh!” Coco felt a little disappointed at first, then she raised her little head again and began to show the way to the four people.
The few of them continued forward for another hundred meters.
"嘤!" Coco cried and waved her little paws.
Xu Xin understood and said to the three girls, "Stop, this is it."
The location here is more than a hundred meters away from the trunk of the World Tree. There is nothing around, just a barren land.
“Boo, boo!”
Coco barked a few times and pointed at the ground with her little paws.
"The ground?" Xu Xin looked down.
The soil all around is very ordinary, and there is no difference from other places.
"Hmm!" Coco started twisting in Xu Xin's arms again.
"Wenxi, is there anything unusual underground in this land?" Xu Xin turned around and asked Li Wenxi.
Li Wenxi shook his head in confusion: "No. At least I didn't find any metal objects underground."
"Keke, you don't want us to dig down, do you?" Lou Feier pointed to the underground tunnel.
"Hmm!" Coco shook her little head violently.
Um…
Xu Xin activated his identification ability.
"Eh..."
He suddenly discovered that just a few steps in front of him, there was a circular piece of land with a diameter of about three meters, which was a purple-grade soil!
Most of the soil around here is green-grade soil, and there are not even a few blue-grade pieces. This sudden large area of almost perfectly circular purple-grade soil looks so strange.
Seeing that Lou Feier still wanted to move forward, Xu Xin immediately grabbed her and said, "Come back."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Lou Feier became nervous when she heard Xu Xin's serious tone, "Is it dangerous ahead?"
"The piece of land in front..." Xu Xin told the three girls about his discovery.
Then, he touched Coco's ear in his arms and said, "Coco, do you want us to walk to the land in front?"
"Hmm!" Coco nodded her little head.
"Let me go first, let me try it." Jin Yue spread her long legs and stepped forward to step into the purple soil.
"Oh!" Li Wenxi and Lou Feier immediately grabbed her.
"Don't be so anxious." Xu Xin waved his hand and looked at the little guy in his arms, "Isn't there someone who knows everything?"
Coco exchanged a few words with him in a whimpering voice.
Xu Xin touched his chin.
What Coco meant was that after they stepped into this area, they should stomp the ground hard with their feet.
It's such a simple action.
"Is this... the way to enter this world tree?"
Xu Xin looked at the world tree that Xu Ying, Wen Guixin and the others had entered.
The way to enter the World Tree over there is much more complicated than this one.
It’s not enough, but that’s understandable.
After all, the world tree contains the "source of life" for alien invaders, so both the entry method and defense must be very strict.
However, the world tree that Xu Xin and his friends are about to enter is not that important.
If there are such important resources in this world tree, naturally the entry and exit will be freer.
However, this method of entering and exiting is still very strange.
"Let me try it first." Jin Yue said.
"No, let's go together." Xu Xin touched Coco in his arms.
Coco couldn't possibly harm them.
Just don't try it.
If you enter multiple times, the World Tree will definitely react, and you may even be discovered, which may cause problems.
The four of them stepped into this purple-level soil together.
"I'll count to three, and we'll stomp the ground at the same time. Is that right, Coco?" Xu Xin said with his head down.
"Bing!"
All three women said they were ready.
"one two three!"
The four of them raised their feet at the same time and stepped on the ground.
Then…
Nothing happened.
The four of them looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
"Keke, you..." Lou Feier stopped talking suddenly before she finished.
The other three also felt something was wrong.
The ground was shaking slightly.
Moreover, the amplitude of the trembling began to slowly increase!
“Um, we won’t fall down later, right…?” Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin’s arm.
"Very... very likely!" Lou Feier grabbed Xu Xin's other arm.
Xu Xin's eyes twitched slightly: "Keke, are you sure... there's no danger?"
In his map ability, at the location where several people were, a red dot was slowly lighting up, getting brighter and brighter!
"嘤!" Coco nodded her little head and nestled in his arms without moving, looking completely harmless.
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
Coco is not afraid, so what is he afraid of
bring it on!
"You guys, be careful, under the ground...!"
Before Xu Xin could finish his words, the ground they were standing on began to shake violently!
Then, the ground cracked in an instant.
Several people watched in horror as several extremely thick vines covered with blood patterns suddenly emerged from the ground and from all around them, rushing straight towards the sky!
Xu Xin and his friends were extremely familiar with this scene!
Aren’t these the blood-veined vines from before!
However, the vines here were much thicker than the thickest vines they had seen before!
The three women's faces changed drastically and they were about to take out their weapons on the spot!
"Don't resist!" Xu Xin said quickly.
His words slowed their movements.
It was at this moment of delay that the vines swung towards Xu Xin and the others, and quickly wrapped around their bodies at a rapid speed.
“Boo! Boom…!”
Because the vines were entangled with Xu Xin's body, Coco was pressed into Xu Xin's arms, struggling hard, and poked a little head out from the vines.
"this… "
Before the four of them could react, the four vines wrapped around them climbed straight up again!
Take the four of them together!
"Oh my god, this...!"
The speed was very fast. In just a few seconds, they were close to the bottom of the hundred-meter-high tree canopy!
We are about to hit the very lush tree canopy!
Just when they were about to collide, a hole suddenly opened up at the bottom of the tree canopy. The blood-patterned vines that were entangled with Xu Xin and the others immediately took advantage of the opportunity to rush in and stuffed them directly into the newly opened hole.
Then everything went dark before my eyes and the surroundings fell into darkness.
But this darkness lasted only two seconds.
When they could see again, they were already in a wooden hall.
Whether it is the floor, ceiling, or surrounding walls in the hall, they are all wooden walls with textured annual rings, giving people a sense of age at first glance.
At this moment, the blood-marked vines wrapped around the men slowly loosened from their bodies and slowly retracted into the gap in the ground.
Then, under the horrified gaze of Xu Xin and the others, the gap in the ground quickly grew and healed, leaving only the flat wooden floor.
"... We just came in like this?" Li Wenxi said in a low voice, somewhat disbelievingly.
Although it was not clear where in the World Tree this empty wooden hall they were in was, it was better not to speak loudly.
After all, this is also the inside of the enemy's world tree!
"... Did you notice the vine just now?" Lou Feier also exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't that the blood-marked mutant vine? The kind of mutant vine that would have drilled out from under the ground as soon as I stepped out of the safe area of the tree house!"
Jin Yue was the calmest of the three girls. She looked at the ground where the vines had retracted and recovered and said, "The mutant vines over there are mutant creatures that were released by alien invaders to select humans. So... those vines are probably mutations of the vines here."
"Yeah." Xu Xin nodded. "It's equivalent to the... degraded version of the vines we just saw."
Their place is full of products of degraded technology from alien invaders.
However, being able to see the complete version of the blood-veined mutant vines here, and being entangled by the blood-veined mutant vines and brought into the World Tree, this experience is really quite magical.
"So, what should we do now?" Lou Feier observed the wooden hall. "It seems that there is nothing here, only..."
She looked ahead, at a door in the wooden hall.
That was the only door in the room.
"I can only go and see..."
"Wait a mininute!"
Before Xu Xin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Wenxi.
She looked at the only door of the wooden house, and her eyes tightened slightly. "Something's happening! There's a metal object approaching quickly outside the door! It seems to be... a small drone?"
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
He knew that with such a big movement of the mutant vine just now, there was no way it could not go unnoticed by the individuals in the World Tree.
Fortunately, although they were entangled by the blood-veined vines, those vines were not the kind with barbs, but had a very smooth surface, and the invisible cloaks on them were not damaged.
The invisible cloak is there, so as long as they are careful, they will not be discovered.
"Let's lean against the wall and don't move." Xu Xin whispered, then took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.
"good!"
Li Wenxi and the other two girls followed suit, taking a few steps back and leaning against the wall.
Just when the four of them were ready, there was a "creak" sound, and the tightly closed door slowly opened.
