Xu Xin looked around at the strange-looking alien invaders coming from all directions.
This scene would definitely scare most people to death.
The thought of joining this group made his scalp tingle.
If it weren't for the stealth cloak on his body that gave him a certain amount of confidence, he really wanted to turn around and go back.
He turned his head slightly and looked behind him.
The long corridor behind him appeared abruptly in the interior space of the entire World Tree, like a kilometer-long train body.
In the entire World Tree, this corridor that looks like a train body is the only thing that can be called a "building", and the rest of the place is flat.
On both sides of the corridor, there are also many alien invaders setting up stalls.
Unexpectedly, when they were walking in the corridor just now, they were only separated from the alien invaders by a wall, only a few meters away.
At this time, Lou Feier leaned gently towards him.
Xu Xin looked at her with a questioning look.
She opened her cloak slightly, and Coco quickly jumped out of her arms and instantly went into Xu Xin's arms.
Xu Xin suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead.
He slowly looked around.
Fortunately, no one around noticed their presence and the alien invaders were still immersed in their market.
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Li Wenxi beside him gently tugged at his arm.
Xu Xin looked at Li Wenxi, only to see her looking at the corridor behind them with a look of fear and horror.
Xu Xin looked towards the corridor again.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath through his nose.
I saw the wooden corridor behind me slowly opening under the seriousness of several people...
It becomes transparent!
The originally wooden corridor became like glass, and the situation inside could be clearly seen from the outside!
The group of alien invaders were also attracted by this change for a few seconds.
Of course, since they have eyes all over their bodies, they don't need to turn their heads to look like humans. Instead, they seem to straighten their ink-black bodies and open their eyes wider towards the transparent corridor.
Xu Xin and his group were not far from the entrance of the corridor, and the eyes of these alien invaders were fixed directly on them.
There were no shelters on any side, and the only shelter - the corridor - was transparent, causing them to be directly exposed to the gazes of all alien invaders from all directions.
Li Wenxi tightened his grip on his arm.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue both came closer to the two of them and looked around vigilantly.
Fortunately, the alien invaders' gaze did not last long.
They seemed to have become accustomed to the changes in the corridor. They only paid attention to this side for a second or two before returning to their original state.
It was as if they were accustomed to this kind of thing, so common that it was not worth paying attention to.
All four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xin looked around again, his sight stopped at the open door of the corridor, and he could see the inside of the corridor.
Huh…
It wasn't something he went to see on purpose.
After all, the entire corridor is transparent, and you can see inside even without looking through the crack in the door. Generally speaking, people don’t pay much attention to the crack in the door.
But the current situation is different.
Because Xu Xin discovered that when looking inside through the crack in the door, he could still see the completely opaque, deep red wooden wall with annual rings.
In the completely transparent corridor, only the crack in the door was not transparent, which of course caught his attention.
His expression changed slightly.
What does this mean
This shows that, although the corridor is transparent when viewed from the outside in, it is still opaque when viewed from the inside out!
That is to say, people outside can see inside, but people inside cannot see outside.
Judging from the reaction of the alien invaders just now, this kind of change is actually very common. It's so common that they just glance over here and don't care.
... Could it be that when they were walking in the corridor just now, this corridor was also transparent
Li Wenxi and the others also noticed this situation, and all showed expressions of fear.
It turned out that they were not safe at all when they were walking in the corridor just now. They could be seen by the alien invaders outside...
It’s no wonder that there is not even a camera in the corridor, it is so empty, because there is no need to install one, because people from outside can see directly inside!
From this perspective, the difficulty of infiltrating this world tree is simply hellish...
Even if you know how to get in, and think you haven't been discovered yet, you have already been seen over and over again by hundreds of alien invaders...
If other alien invaders wanted to sneak in here, it would be absolutely impossible.
Xu Xin showed a bitter smile on his face, as if he had survived a disaster.
Zhao Xiaochuan's stealth cloak has saved them too many times when they were slow to react.
This thing is simply an invincible weapon when it comes to sneaking in, and it plays its role perfectly.
Come to think of it, this is the World Tree that has existed for nearly a thousand years. It is the base camp of alien invaders. How could it be so easy to sneak in
It was just that they were lucky, otherwise they would have died on the spot as soon as they came in.
After figuring all this out, Xu Xin actually relaxed.
Since they were not discovered in such a terrifying surveillance corridor, it has proved the powerful effect of the stealth cloak.
They don't need to be too nervous.
“嘤…” Coco’s little head half poked out from Xu Xin’s arms, and her little paws half stretched out, pointing in one direction.
Coco was giving him directions.
Over there is the most densely populated area of this "market".
There are quite a few alien invaders, both those setting up stalls and those acting freely.
Xu Xin calmed down and gestured to the three women around him, indicating them to walk over there.
The three women all nodded slightly.
Just as Xu Xin was about to take the first step, suddenly, the small mechanical jellyfish wandering in the air above his head began to move.
Some of them suddenly changed their flying direction and started flying towards them!
this… !
Several people's expressions changed immediately.
What happened?!
Discovered
No, that's impossible. They haven't done anything yet, how could they be discovered
Xu Xin reacted immediately.
These little mechanical jellyfish should be heading towards the corridor behind us!
Because they are still at the exit of the corridor!
Xu Xin grabbed Li Wenxi's arm and slowly walked to the side of the corridor.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue followed closely behind.
Just as a few people made way for the exit, dozens of small mechanical jellyfish flew over and flexibly slipped in through the gap of the transparent door of the corridor.
One after another.
Xu Xin saw that the small mechanical jellyfish that had drilled in were flying quickly toward the other end of the corridor, which was the entrance to the World Tree.
It seems that even though the first batch of mechanical jellyfish that entered did not discover Xu Xin and his group, the managers of the World Tree probably still thought that someone had come in.
But because this passage is simply unable to hide people, the managers here did not believe that the intruder had come out of the passage, so they sent mechanical jellyfish to enter from the exit again to block it.
It's a pity that they didn't know that the intruders had already swaggered through this corridor right under their noses and entered the interior of the World Tree.
Although the other party took the intruder who disappeared inexplicably very seriously, Xu Xin still felt a little happy in his heart.
Because they put all their focus on that corridor, Xu Xin and his companions who had already come out and were about to blend into the "market" were actually much safer.
Of course, this safety is only temporary.
If they find nothing in the corridor, they will probably start to suspect that intruders have sneaked into the "market".
So, they have to act quickly.
Xu Xin winked at the three women, and without stopping, walked towards the market.
He walked very slowly, one step, two steps.
After seeing that the alien invaders around him did not react, he gradually quickened his pace.
Soon, I returned to my normal walking speed.
Still not found.
He did not continue to speed up his pace, but just walked into the bustling "market".
The three girls followed closely behind.
A large area here is the "market".
Although lively, it was not crowded.
After all, the area here is very large, and the number of alien invaders is only about a thousand.
Although they seem to be everywhere at first glance, the density is not high, so people are not crowded and touching each other, so Xu Xin and the others are relatively safe.
At this time, Xu Xin was already standing in front of the stall of an alien invader who was "setting up a stall".
On the stall in front of it, there were dozens of scattered items that looked strange in shape.
There are unknown metals, strange biological specimens, bizarre handicrafts, and some tools that are used for unknown purposes.
In Xu Xin's ability to identify, only the unknown metal mine emitted a golden light, which was obviously a high-quality metal, while other things did not emit any light at all.
I don't know if it's useless or I can't identify it.
And Magnet, at the back of the stall, an alien invader covered with bumps and eyes was sitting on the wooden floor.
In fact, whether the alien invaders are sitting or standing, they look like a pile of things, and their body structure cannot be seen at all.
But the standing alien invaders, such as those who are wandering around now, are obviously much taller than those in front of the stalls, so Xu Xin thinks that the "stall owner" in front of the stall is sitting.
The seated "stall owner" was unaware of the arrival of Xu Xin and his companions. Even most of his eyes were closed. Only a few were half-open, and he looked like he was taking a nap.
It's a good time to try out what they can do now.
"Ahem..."
Xu Xin suddenly cleared his throat and made a little sound.
This cough scared Li Wenxi who was standing beside him. He stared at him with wide eyes, grabbed his arm, and blinked at him frantically.
This is in front of the alien invaders!
Only one or two meters away from the alien invaders!
Lou Feier and Jin Yue were also frightened.
Among the group of alien invaders, their spirits have always been highly tense, but Xu Xin suddenly made a sound!
Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked at the alien invader in front of him.
Sleepy…
...no...come...meaning...
He has already activated his mind-reading ability at this time.
As long as he has not experienced time travel, he can more or less read some of people's thoughts.
These alien invaders have not experienced time travel, so they can hear some of the voices.
But unfortunately, perhaps because the nervous system of the alien invaders is too different from that of Earth creatures, although he can hear some of the alien invaders' thoughts, he cannot fully capture what the alien invaders are thinking.
I could only catch some intermittent words and couldn't even piece together the general meaning.
But this is enough. At least Xu Xin can hear the emotional fluctuations from the intermittent voices.
At least the alien invader in front didn't pay attention to his cough just now.
Can they speak in a low voice
"…Ah, hello?" Xu Xin whispered.
Then he felt a slight pain in his arm.
It was Li Wenxi who pinched him lightly.
Li Wenxi's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly pinched Xu Xin to make him shut up.
But she didn't dare to use force, for fear that Xu Xin would scream out in pain, which would be the end of her, so she only pinched him lightly.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue also nervously stared at the dozing alien invader in front of them.
The monster once said that human voices are very, very unpleasant to alien invaders, similar to the sound of nails scratching a blackboard to humans.
So, if the alien invader in front of him could hear his voice, he might wake up.
The alien invader's eyes did open halfway at the moment Xu Xin spoke, which scared Li Wenxi and the other two girls.
But it was indeed a little confused at this time.
Why... is this... uncomfortable
I... How...
sick…
Xu Xin tried hard to read the thoughts of the alien invader in front of him.
After a simple analysis, he understood.
The alien invader in front should be able to hear his voice.
But like his body, his voice was ignored.
Just like, a person who is concentrating on playing games at home will not care about what the aunties downstairs are chatting outside the window.
But despite this, his voice did reach the ears of the alien invaders.
This sound was extremely unpleasant to the alien invaders, and it made the "stall owner" in front of him feel uncomfortable.
It didn't know where this discomfort came from and began to wonder if it was sick.
A slight smile appeared on Xu Xin's lips.
It seems that they can still speak.
As long as you keep your voice down, there should be no problem.
Xu Xin brought the three girls to a slightly farther place.
"We can talk now." Xu Xin whispered.
His sudden words startled the three women again, and they hurriedly looked around at the alien invaders.
Fortunately, no alien invaders are paying attention here.
But the alien invaders have eyes all over their bodies and can see in all directions, so there is an illusion that every alien invader is paying attention to them.
This is also why Li Wenxi and the others were so nervous.
Anyone would be nervous if they were being watched by so many alien invaders with terrifying appearances.
Only people like Xu Xin who can read the thoughts of some alien invaders can have some idea about this.
"Really...really?" Li Wenxi chose to believe what Xu Xin said and said in a low voice.
Still not discovered by the surrounding alien invaders.
"It's like this..." Xu Xin explained his guess.
"I see... Then we can indeed communicate quietly." Lou Fei'er also whispered, "Great, I have a lot to say. First of all... Where exactly is this place?"
Xu Xin rubbed the head of the little fellow who had been hiding in his arms and didn't dare to show his whole head: "I'm afraid you have to ask Keke about this. It was him who insisted that we come in."
"Mmm..." Coco's little ears moved and she stretched out her little paws, "Mmm..."
Coco's cries became very quiet, and she no longer wanted to come out and run around.
It seemed that it was also beginning to be afraid of the monsters around it.
"That's the situation. My identification ability can detect the quality of the items on those stalls. There are quite a few good things in there." Xu Xin whispered, "What Keke wants us to find should also be there."
"But how can we take the things from the stall?" Jin Yue whispered, "If it's a human, we can take it away secretly when they're not paying attention, but alien invaders..."
The alien invaders have eyes all over their bodies and can see in all directions. Unless they are drowsy like the stall owner just now, it is impossible to take advantage of them when they are not paying attention.
"The Hidden Cloak, and... the Space Bracelet."
Xu Xin explained in a low voice.
The Cloak of the Invisible does more than just make the wearer disappear.
Anyone wrapped in the cloak will lose their sense of existence, such as Coco in Xu Xin's arms and the clothes Xu Xin is wearing.
These external possessions can still be hidden.
"Wrap an item with a corner of the cloak so that the weapon's presence disappears, and then put it directly into the bracelet." Xu Xin whispered, "This method may work."
Li Wenxi and the other two girls looked at each other and then nodded.
At present, this should be the most appropriate method.
Xu Xin sighed in his heart.
I feel that this kind of thing should be done by Zhao Xiaochuan. He should be the best at it. He doesn't even need to be wrapped in a cloak of invisibility. He just needs to reach out and touch it.
He could even just pick it up and wave it in front of the other person's eyes and the other person wouldn't notice.
It’s a pity that Zhao Xiaochuan is with Xu Ying and Wen Guixin.
"Then, let's start the action immediately."
Xu Xin glanced at the corridor.
I don't know when the corridor returned to its opaque state and I couldn't see what was going on inside.
But none of those little mechanical jellyfish came out, and some were even drilling in continuously.
… We must hurry up.
