Walking slowly in this "market", Xu Xin's mentality gradually calmed down.
As long as they are careful, there will be no problem.
Of course, if you want to steal things from these "stalls", you still need to experiment.
Xu Xin returned to the stall of the sleepy alien invader.
At this moment, the alien invader in front of him, whose body was covered with pimples, still had most of his eyes closed, with only a few eyes half open.
The reason is that this is the outermost area. Compared to the areas deep inside the market, no alien invaders have visited here since they walked out of the corridor.
So, this stall is very suitable for him to practice.
If the method he had thought of before would be discovered at this stall, then he would have to think of another way.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue had already taken out their personal weapons at this time, so that they could act quickly if any problems occurred.
Li Wenxi looked at the piece of metal on the stall and whispered to Xu Xin, "You can steal that piece of metal. It looks like a good thing."
The alien stall owner, who was resting with his eyes closed behind the stall, felt his eyes tremble slightly and then he opened some of his eyes.
Several raised bumps on its body suddenly stretched and rubbed several parts of its body.
What... situation... is... unpleasant...
It's time to... rest... go back...
The intermittent voice of his heart once again sounded in Xu Xin's mind.
According to Xu Xin's observation, the body part that the alien invaders had just rubbed should be where their ear holes are.
They don't have as many ears as they do eyes. They are similar to the creatures on Earth, with only a few parts. This is what the monster had told them before.
Therefore, the hearing of alien invaders is actually not very good and is not much different from that of humans.
But even so, the alien invaders still heard Li Wenxi's whisper just now.
It rubbed the place where its ear hole was again somewhat uncomfortably, then twisted its ink-black, uneven body covered with eyes, and returned to the state of closing its eyes and resting.
Li Wenxi spoke just now because he wanted to see the reaction of the alien invaders. Seeing the stall owner opposite him behave like this, he completely believed Xu Xin's previous inference.
But she also knew that if she continued speaking, the stall owner, who was resting with his eyes closed, would open his eyes again, so she stopped talking.
Xu Xin took action.
He kept a close eye on the movements of the alien stall owner in front of him, and at the same time, he slowly stretched out his hand and pressed on the piece of metal that was emitting golden light.
Unknown metal (gold): unstable metal, radioactive, long-term proximity will cause harm to the human body. It is one of the components of the alien warship hull alloy.
It turned out to be an unstable radioactive metal...
The corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched slightly.
He already felt his palms itching a little.
But is this thing actually one of the metal components of the battleship hull alloy
No wonder it’s gold quality.
But this thing is of no use to Xu Xin and others for the time being.
However, now the purpose is to test his method, whether it is useful or not is secondary.
Xu Xin gently touched the metal with the bracelet on his wrist, and then the metal disappeared from under his hand.
The four of them were all looking at the stall owner nervously.
At least the disappearance of the washbasin-sized piece of metal did not cause any reaction from the alien stall owner.
The half-open eyes between the bumps on the body still had a dull look, as if they had completely forgotten their mission as eyes.
Xu Xin slowly retracted his hand and then slowly stood up.
The stall owner in front of him still didn't react at all.
It worked.
As it should be.
When he pressed the metal, it became like an inconspicuous pebble on the roadside.
An inconspicuous pebble suddenly disappears and naturally will not attract anyone's attention.
Of course, at some point in the future, the stall owner may find that a piece of metal is missing from his stall.
But at least it can't be discovered now, so there's no problem.
This method is feasible.
"Coco, lead the way." Xu Xin pulled the ear of the little guy in his arms.
"Hmm..."
Coco stretched out a small paw from under her cloak and pointed toward the area where the alien invaders were most concentrated.
Are you really going there
The place that Coco pointed to should be the core area of the entire market.
There are a total of over a thousand alien invaders in this area, and at least five hundred in that area.
"Let's go." Xu Xin said softly.
Li Wenxi nodded slightly.
Jin Yue and Lou Fei'er were in front and behind the two of them, and the four of them walked slowly towards their target.
Xu Xin began to pay attention to the stalls passing by.
There were always a few things on these stalls that emitted golden light, which made him itchy and he really wanted to steal them.
Even if it is something like the piece of metal just now that is useless to them now, it is at least a gold-level item, and it is a gold-level item that can be identified. Who knows, there may be ways to use it in the future.
But unfortunately, now is not the time to do these things.
They are also in a situation where they have to race against time.
The four warships of the alien invaders were dispatched. Xu Xin felt that Ji Chaoyang might not be able to hold on for much longer.
They had already prepared a retreat route, so they might not need to worry too much about their safety, but if that side was breached and the warships returned, the situation here would become troublesome.
So we must speed up our action.
The four of them moved forward steadily, and gradually, more and more alien invaders moved freely around them.
Two alien invaders have already passed them by.
Xu Xin discovered that it seemed that they did not need to deliberately avoid the oncoming alien invaders.
These alien invaders seemed to subconsciously bypass them slightly and avoid colliding with them head-on.
Xu Xin's heart moved.
This also seems to explain it.
It's not that they disappeared, but that they no longer had a sense of existence.
Alien invaders can actually still see them, but they just don't take them seriously.
Therefore, when they came towards them, they would subconsciously not want to collide with Xu Xin and others, and subconsciously choose to slightly avoid them.
This made Xu Xin and the other three feel a lot more relaxed.
We continued walking, passing by one stall after another.
There are more and more alien invaders around us.
Li Wenxi moved closer to Xu Xin because an alien invader covered with tentacles and eyes was passing by her side.
Watching from such a close distance, the physical discomfort became even more intense, and even Jin Yue couldn't help but turn her head away.
“Hmm…” Coco called softly again and pointed forward.
The density of alien invaders ahead is quite high.
There were at least hundreds of alien invaders surrounding there, and it was almost impossible to get in or out.
The alien invaders huddled together were like a mass of wriggling black mud, with many rhythmically moving black tentacles growing on it, and countless eyes struggling in the squeezing.
… It looked like a scene from hell.
When Xu Xin and the other three saw this scene, they couldn't help but choke on their throats.
I feel like I have goose bumps all over my body.
These alien invaders huddled together in front of us seem to be particularly interested in something.
Some of the alien invaders squeezed in the back even extended tentacles from their bodies, reached high up, and looked inside with the eyes on the tentacles.
"this… "
Xu Xin felt that the cold sweat on his forehead was about to break out again.
What they want is inside
Is this to let them squeeze in
…It’s better to just commit suicide.
"Hmm..." Coco pointed at the pile of alien invaders again.
All right.
It's really in there.
Good... Awesome...
Don't... I...
Let's see...
Selling things...
There are a large number of alien invaders here, and countless voices sounded in his mind at once.
After listening for a long time, Xu Xin still couldn't figure out why they gathered here. He only knew that the thing was a good thing for them.
"Let's go around a little bit." Xu Xin whispered.
His words did not attract the attention of the surrounding alien invaders, because there was a surge of "people" here, and the unpleasant noises of the alien invaders were very loud, drowning out Xu Xin's whispers.
"Yeah." Li Wenxi frowned and nodded.
The strange and unpleasant sounds made by alien invaders are really uncomfortable.
She felt her head was a little dizzy.
They didn’t expect that the sound of the alien invaders alone could cause harm to them!
The four of them circled around the group of alien invaders, but still couldn't find a place to enter.
There wasn't even a crack to look inside.
An area about the size of several stalls was surrounded by hundreds of alien invaders.
"Hmm..." Coco called softly.
The little guy was a little scared when he saw the group of alien invaders.
But it really wanted to go in, and even began to move restlessly in Xu Xin's arms.
With its small body, it could indeed slip through the gaps in the group of external invaders if it could go unnoticed.
But there was no way Xu Xin could let it get in by itself.
First of all, there was the question of whether it would be discovered, and he couldn't take the risk.
"Don't move, let's wait a moment."
Xu Xin and his companions moved a little further away from the crowded group.
"It's a bit troublesome..." Xu Xin frowned as he looked at the black mud mass that was squeezed together.
"It's more than just a little bit, this is a big problem, um..."
Lou Feier stuffed a slice of orange that had been peeled long ago into her mouth.
The noise from the alien invaders just now made her feel a little dizzy, so she used an orange to sober up.
"Could the thing that so many alien invaders are paying attention to be what we want?" Li Wenxi shifted his gaze from the black mud and asked Xu Xin and others.
"It's very likely." Jin Yue nodded gently, "We have to take away what they want in front of their eyes, which is too difficult."
Xu Xin also frowned because of this question.
The large number of alien invaders is one thing, but the important thing is that there are so many alien invaders, all of them staring at their target with all their eyes open.
His previous method was simply not feasible. His previous method was only suitable for stealing, not for robbing in public.
"What should I do..." Xu Xin muttered to himself.
A few minutes passed and the alien invaders were still surrounding there, with no change.
"These guys have been standing there all the time, and haven't moved much." Li Wenxi looked over there and said, "Are we going to keep waiting like this?"
Xu Xin was silent.
It feels like they don't have that much time.
If we keep waiting, who knows how long we will wait.
They have to do something to break the situation, time waits for no one.
What to do…
Xu Xin touched his backpack.
He had a bold idea.
"What do you think? If I throw the scarlet crystal out of my backpack, will it attract their attention?" Xu Xin asked softly, "Will they be attracted by the scarlet crystal and then scatter?"
"Ah?" Li Wenxi was startled at first, then his eyes lit up, "Yes! There is also scarlet crystal! That thing should be very attractive to them, right?"
Lou Feier looked at Xu Xin's backpack: "The crystals are very bright, they will definitely attract their attention. How much do you have left? Didn't you give a lot to Yingying before?"
"After giving half of them, there are still a dozen or so left, which is definitely enough." Xu Xin said.
"Are you sure... it will work?" Jin Yue suddenly asked, frowning slightly, "This is the base camp of the alien invaders. Will the people here... be short of scarlet crystals?"
Xu Xin touched his chin.
Indeed, the alien invaders here should all be the leader's subordinates, and they should not lack the scarlet crystal which is the "source of life".
Perhaps scarlet crystal is indeed not very attractive to them.
A person who is never thirsty and can drink water when thirsty will not be attracted by a bottle of water.
But Scarlet Crystal is not the same as a bottle of water.
It’s bright!
Its mere presence there is very noticeable.
Not to mention that this thing is a strictly controlled contraband.
If it appears suddenly, even if these alien invaders have no shortage of scarlet crystals, it will definitely attract their attention.
It is even possible that this market will be thrown into complete chaos, those mechanical jellyfish will completely riot, and the being that controls those mechanical jellyfish will come forward.
Therefore, this is indeed a method, but this method will definitely make things worse.
So big that it might even affect their actions in the other world tree.
Do you want to take action
Or wait a little longer
"Bing... Bing!" Coco cried twice.
Xu Xin could clearly feel Coco's desire for something that was surrounded by alien invaders.
"Let's do it." Lou Feier whispered, "We don't have much time to hesitate."
Li Wenxi also nodded: "I also think this method is very suitable."
"I don't think it will affect the overall situation." Jin Yue whispered, "This world tree and that world tree are not the same. This world tree is open to everyone, and there are so many alien invaders. Even if we throw out the scarlet crystal, they will probably think that there is a traitor among them and suspect the alien invaders at the scene."
Xu Xin nodded slightly.
That's true.
They are using scarlet crystal as bait, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
At most, this world tree is in chaos.
The one who will have an impact on the overall situation should be Yingying's side.
If they use a small piece of scarlet crystal as bait, the other party will probably be on high alert.
I don’t know what’s going on over there, or whether they have found their target.
"Okay, it's decided. Use scarlet crystal as bait to completely disrupt this market." Xu Xin said softly.
"Hey, I have an idea." Lou Feier whispered to the three of them.
Lou Feier's plan was not complicated.
First of all, it certainly couldn’t be that Xu Xin simply threw the scarlet crystal.
This way his position would be easily exposed, and the scarlet crystals would not be dispersed, so they could not attract the attention of more people at the same time, and it would easily attract people to his side, which would be putting the cart before the horse.
"Leave the matter of throwing the scarlet crystal to me and Jin Yue." Lou Feier glanced at Jin Yue.
Jin Yue nodded.
Lou Feier smiled slightly: "The two of us will take the scarlet crystal to a farther location and throw it out at the right time."
She pointed in two different directions: "I'll go in that direction, and Jin Yue will go in the other direction. This way, scarlet crystals will appear in two directions at the same time. We can throw a few more out to completely attract their attention."
"Wen Xi will stay here and be responsible for observing the movements of those jellyfish machines above. Once they are attracted away, these clustered alien invaders will also be led away or slightly dispersed..." Lou Feier pointed to the large and somewhat terrifying mass of wriggling black mud.
"I can take advantage of the chaos to sneak in and steal the things I want to take away." Xu Xin whispered.
The plan he just had in mind coincided with Lou Feier's plan.
Jin Yue nodded slightly and agreed to this plan.
Now was not the time to discuss further, so he immediately decided: "This plan is feasible."
As Xu Xin spoke, he reached into his backpack and put six red crystals in it. He then reached the hand with the bracelet into Lou Feier and Jin Yue's backpacks and gave each of them three.
He didn't put the small piece of scarlet crystal into the bracelet before because everyone in the bracelet had not been released yet. If the scarlet crystal was put in, the light would affect everyone.
But now, there are only monsters in his bracelet, and monsters will not be affected by the scarlet crystal.
However, when the crystal was put in just now, it must have attracted the monster's attention.
It's time to find a time to release the monster.
"You two, you must be careful. It's best to wrap the scarlet crystal well when you throw it, and move immediately after throwing it to avoid being discovered." Xu Xin warned.
"Don't worry, Jin Yue and I are very good at this." Lou Feier patted her chest.
"There's no problem on my end either." Li Wenxi whispered.
Xu Xin touched Coco in his arms: "Coco, you should know how to get out of this world tree."
If you can bring them in, you can naturally bring them out as well.
The previous corridor could only be entered but not exited, and the exit was somewhere else.
After they succeed, they must leave immediately, otherwise they will likely be trapped in the World Tree and the probability of being discovered will greatly increase.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded her little head.
It looks like everything is ready.
"Let's get started. Let's disrupt this world tree."
