The wooden door opened, and three small flying robots flew in from outside the door.
These small machines are flat and ellipsoidal in shape, with red and white colors. There are also several thin, leg-like mechanical limbs floating underneath.
They look like a few mechanical jellyfish floating in the air. They are not very big, and are only the size of a bowl if the mechanical limbs below are not counted.
Very delicate, even a little cute.
“—beep—whoosh—”
"La-uka-"
The three small robots paused for a moment after entering the door, then made a sound that Xu Xin and the others could not understand, and then began to wander around in the empty wooden house.
"-beep-beep-kacha-"
"—Wa-la-ka—"
Three small jellyfish-shaped machines stopped in the middle of the room. One of them turned a few times, and the mechanical limbs below that resembled jellyfish ribbons began to float.
"-crash-?"
"Shaka-Laka-"
Now Xu Xin finally understood.
These little machines make sounds, and it turns out they are communicating with each other.
They are probably discussing the situation in this room at this time.
With a little guessing, you can tell what these little mechanical jellyfish are discussing.
"The World Tree must have brought some life up just now."
"Why is this place empty?"
Probably discussing this.
With the Cloak of the Concealer, even machines cannot detect them.
Xu Xin was even a little curious. If the current scene was recorded by a camera and someone watched the replay, would they be able to discover them
If you look closely, you will see that there are some small cameras hidden in the corners of this wooden room, which can record the members entering the World Tree from outside at any time.
Xu Xin, Li Wenxi, Lou Feier, and Jin Yue all leaned against the wall without saying a word, minimizing their presence.
Coco nestled obediently in Xu Xin's arms, curled up into a ball, and didn't move.
The three little mechanical jellyfish began to wander around in the empty wooden hall.
"Beep—beep—wow—"
"Ka-la-hu-zi-zi-zi"
The sound of mechanical communication echoed in this wooden hall.
At the same time, a small mechanical jellyfish floated towards the wall they were leaning against.
Getting closer and closer, until it was only half a meter away from Xu Xin.
The mechanical streamers of the mechanical jellyfish stretched out in all directions, like a detector, as if exploring the surrounding traces.
The little jellyfish moved closer to Xu Xin again, only about twenty centimeters away from him.
Xu Xin didn't dare to breathe and even held his breath.
This is too close!
Could it be that this little mechanical jellyfish has already discovered them
Beside him, Li Wenxi stared at him with eyes wide open, full of panic, but did not dare to speak.
This was inside the enemy's World Tree, and Xu Ying was not with them. Once they were discovered, they would basically be doomed, with almost no chance of survival.
Lou Feier had already grasped the dagger at her waist, and Jin Yue began to prepare for attack.
They were all afraid that the jellyfish would hurt Xu Xin, so if that happened, they would have to take action even if they were discovered.
However, the little robot stopped moving closer when it was 20 centimeters away from Xu Xin, and instead started spinning in the air again.
The mechanical limb below fluttered as it rotated, almost touching Xu Xin's face!
Xu Xin felt cold sweat on his forehead.
At the same time, I felt a little aggrieved.
In fact, this little robot doesn't look strong at all. With the weapons they have now, it is not difficult to destroy the three mechanical jellyfish on the spot.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that these three are just robots, and there are also cameras in the hall.
The three small machines were probably connected to some central system, and cameras were watching their every move.
Once a small robot is scrapped, the alarm will most likely be sounded inside the World Tree, and their situation will become even more dangerous, and they may even be unable to move forward.
So, although these three small robot jellyfish may seem weak, you must never attack them.
The small robotic jellyfish in front of me stopped rotating, and then a small screen on its "jellyfish head" flashed slightly.
"Beep-kaka-hua-"
The mechanical jellyfish stopped swaying in front of Xu Xin and slowly left the location.
Xu Xin's Adam's apple rolled and he slowly let out a breath.
…Looks like everything is alright.
The mechanical little jellyfish came here to search. It should have left some subtle traces on the ground when the few people came up just now.
However, no matter how it checked, it could not find Xu Xin and the other three people who were right in front of it.
Zhao Xiaochuan's hidden cloak is really a magical artifact... Xu Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
At the side, Li Wenxi's expression also relaxed, and Lou Feier and Jin Yue also took their hands off their weapons.
All four of them broke out in cold sweats.
It was too close just now. If it was one centimeter closer, the mechanical streamer of the mechanical jellyfish would have scratched Xu Xin's face!
“Beep—”
“Crash—”
The three jellyfish gathered in the center of the room again, making short noises.
Then they all flew towards the open door.
Xu Xin and the other three just watched as three small mechanical jellyfish flew out of the wooden door.
And the door did not close after they left, it remained open.
The four of them finally relaxed this time.
"Oh my god..." Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's arm and whispered in fear, "That little jellyfish almost touched you!"
"It was really thrilling..." Xu Xin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The ribbon was almost brushing against his face, but he was not noticed.
Is this good luck or bad luck
"It's so scary. I almost pulled out my dagger and cut the jellyfish in half right away!" Lou Feier also whispered.
Jin Yue looked at the already opened door: "At least now we can conclude that with the Cloak of the Hider, even the machines can't find us."
Xu Xin rubbed Coco's head fiercely and said, "If it weren't for you, little guy, how could we be in such a dangerous situation?"
“Hmm…” Coco seemed to be frightened by what happened just now. She whimpered a little aggrievedly but did not refute.
"The door is open, so we should leave." Xu Xin looked at the open door and whispered to the three women, "But, you must be extremely cautious, because this is inside the enemy's world tree."
He always felt that this open door... was a trap.
Generally speaking, don't we just close the door
Not to mention that the door was closed when the three little mechanical jellyfish came, but it was opened just right for them when they left
Something always feels wrong.
It’s better to be careful.
Xu Xin nodded to the three of them and walked forward.
But he was then stopped by Lou Feier.
"I'm fast and have a higher chance of dodging traps. I'll take the lead." Lou Feier whispered.
"I'll cover the rear." Jin Yue also whispered.
Xu Xin nodded and did not refuse them.
That's fine.
Both Xu Xin and Li Wenxi have exploratory abilities and are just right for command.
"Hmm..."
Coco was held in Lou Feier's arms.
As the leader, she naturally needed the little girl Coco to lead the way.
“Hmm…” Coco crawled into her cloak, gathered her big tail, and stuffed it in as well.
It seemed that it was also frightened by what happened just now.
In this way, Lou Feier walked three meters in front of the two people, and Jin Yue was behind them.
The four of them walked towards the open door.
This hall is not very big, it is just a room about 20 meters long and wide, with an area of about 400 square meters.
The few of them walked all the way to the wooden door, but nothing unexpected happened and they didn't find any traps.
Lou Feier tiptoed out of the wooden door.
Outside the door is a wooden corridor that is slightly wider than the wooden door, and this double-opening wooden door is at the end of the corridor.
She looked to both sides, examining the wooden walls on both sides that were covered with growth rings.
There are no dangerous mechanisms or anything like that.
She turned around and was about to signal to Xu Xin and the others that there was no danger outside and they could come out, but her sight drifted past the two doors of the double doors that opened outwards.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened and her pupils shrank instantly.
She slowly raised her hand and covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.
The change in her expression was noticed by Xu Xin and the other two.
Suddenly, the three of them felt a jolt in their hearts.
What's going on
What did she see
What's behind the door
Because the door opened outwards, the three people who had not yet walked out could not see what was behind the door, but Lou Feier's expression really made people extremely concerned.
Lou Feier rolled her eyes, and after finding that there was no danger, she moved the hand that was covering her mouth, made an OK gesture to Xu Xin and the others, and then walked out slowly and tiptoeingly.
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi looked at each other and followed.
When they reached the position in front of Lou Feier, they both subconsciously turned their heads to look behind the door.
Then, the two of them made the same expression as Lou Feier.
Xu Xin felt a chill rushing up his head, and goose bumps appeared all over his body!
Eye.
So many eyes.
At least hundreds of eyes!
The densely packed eyes were still blinking, and the pupils were constantly shaking, expanding and contracting.
Growing on a body as black as ink.
At the first glance, countless eyes overlapped with his.
If someone had a worse mentality, they would probably scream out loud.
Fortunately, both Xu Xin and Li Wenxi are people who have survived in this world of life and death at this moment.
Even when facing hundreds of eyes, they did not utter a word.
However, they did understand why Lou Feier had that expression and covered her mouth just now.
If you see this unexpectedly without any preparation, it would be a bit scary...
But…
Why are there alien invaders behind the door
That’s right, the owners of these eyes are alien invaders.
Behind each of these two outward-opening doors is an alien invader.
Because there is a corridor outside the door and the door is at the end of the corridor, there is very little space behind the two doors.
So, these two alien invaders were squeezed behind the door and were flattened by the door. Their entire bodies were less than ten centimeters thick.
So, when Xu Xin looked at it for the first time, he saw that the entire area behind the door was filled with countless blinking eyes in the darkness.
Behind both doors there are…
Could it be that these two alien invaders are responsible for guarding this door
…Xu Xin once again felt grateful for the invisible cloak on his body.
This place is really dangerous at every step, but luckily they won't be discovered...
The two of them took another step and followed behind Lou Feier.
Jin Yue was the last one to walk out of the room and also experienced the same surprise as the three people in front of her.
But she recovered quickly and immediately left behind a few people.
Several people walked forward along the corridor.
Behind me, the door at the end of the corridor was not closed and remained wide open.
The two alien invaders behind the door did not move at all. Their hundreds of eyes were blinking behind the dark door, as if waiting for someone in the room to come out, so that they would pounce out.
The few of them tiptoed a long way, and only gathered together again when they were some distance away from the door behind them and could hardly see any blinking eyes.
"I was really scared just now..." Lou Feier said with lingering feelings, "I was really almost scared to tears..."
She suffered the most severe mental shock.
Xu Xin and the other two who followed her all knew that there was something terrifying behind the door. Although they didn't know what it was exactly before seeing it, at least they were mentally prepared.
And Lou Feier was really faced with hundreds of eyes suddenly without any preparation.
Not to mention that there are hundreds of eyes behind the door, even if you turn around and see a stranger hiding behind the door, that would be scary.
Lou Feier didn't scream out loud, which really showed her extraordinary self-control.
"Why is there an alien invader in that place..." Li Wenxi whispered in shock, "Why is he squeezed behind the door..."
"The gatekeeper, I guess." Jin Yue said concisely.
"So they're just going to stay there? They have to hide behind the door. Won't that scare off other alien invaders..."
Xu Xin was looking back at this time.
The corridor was very straight, and even after walking several hundred meters, he could still see the open door behind him.
But the two alien invaders behind the door could no longer be seen clearly at this time.
"Could those two alien invaders be the 'gatekeepers' of this world tree?" Xu Xin's mind moved.
The gatekeeper is responsible for bringing individual alien invaders in and out of the World Tree.
But this world tree does not seem to require anyone to lead you into it. You just need to stand in the right place and stomp your feet, and the mutated vines will lead you into the world tree.
But this world tree is definitely not something that can be entered and exited casually.
Therefore, the two alien invaders behind the door are probably the ones who screen the individuals entering and leaving.
That is... "the gatekeeper".
It’s just that the state of the security guard squeezed behind the door is really not commendable.
It's really a bit ugly.
However, thinking back to the time when Wen Guixin controlled the gatekeeper who turned into a piece of skin and corroded the trunk of the World Tree...
These two doormen seem more decent
Why does the guard seem a bit pitiful
"It seems that the class structure within this world tree is probably very strict." Xu Xin came to a conclusion.
This is quite normal.
The leader of the alien invaders, who is also the father of the monster, is the leader of the army. It is normal for the army to have strict hierarchy, and the World Tree will naturally be managed in this way.
However, the military's strict hierarchical system is not suitable for treating the masses. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the internal situation of the alien invaders has become as chaotic as it is now.
"Let's keep moving forward, Coco, lead the way." Xu Xin said to the little guy with half of his head sticking out of Lou Feier's arms.
"Hmm!" Coco's ears moved.
The path we just walked was just a very simple corridor.
There are no doors on either side, and no cameras to be seen.
Li Wenxi also checked and found that there were no metal traps here.
After walking a few hundred meters, I was only halfway through the corridor.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Xin and others stopped to discuss.
This corridor should be the last quiet place.
Outside of this corridor is probably the living area of the alien invaders.
They were afraid that they would see more alien invaders there.
"Let's go. With this Hidden Cloak, our situation is not dangerous." Xu Xin whispered, "But don't talk easily after you walk out of this corridor."
Although the Cloak of the Hidden One can greatly reduce their presence, the sound can enhance their presence.
It’s better not to seek death in this enemy territory.
“Hmm…” Coco looked at the other end of the corridor and tilted her little head.
