When Xu Xin and his group set off, the World Tree on the other side of the Earth.
"Do you think that group of alien invaders have already gone back?" Qin Yunlong stood at the control console, observing the situation outside.
There were not many people left in the underground space at this time, and most people had already returned to the upper space.
There is no way. There has been no change outside the World Tree for four hours.
In the distance, the incomparably thick purple-black pillar of light still bent over the horizon, building a bridge of light across the sky.
But after the giant ship was pulled into the purple-black light column by the strange giant tentacle, there has been no movement in the purple-black light column, and not even a mosquito has come out of it.
Next to the World Tree, the giant insect still surrounded the World Tree tightly, but it was snoring in a low voice.
That's right, this super long guy seems to have fallen asleep due to boredom.
What's even more boring are Ji Chaoyang and his friends.
You know, four hours passed outside, but it was a full four hundred hours inside!
It took as long as sixteen or seventeen days!
There is no crisis outside, and we can't just let everyone stay here like this.
You know, being mentally tense for a long time can also cause great damage to morale.
Therefore, starting from the third day, except for a dozen people who stayed in the underground world to guard the situation outside, most people returned to the ground for a temporary rest.
If anything happens, they will be called up immediately.
There is no need to worry about delays. After all, the time flow rate in the World Tree is a hundred times faster. Ten seconds in the outside world is enough for everyone in the World Tree to get in position and wait.
But who knew that this rest would last more than half a month.
There was no movement from the outside world for four hours.
This makes people wonder whether the alien invaders have already returned
"Not sure." Ji Chaoyang looked at the purple-black light column, "All we can do is stay alert at all times."
He spent most of the past half month at the console in this underground space.
"Oh, it would be great if I could get in touch with Brother Xin and the others." Qin Yunlong sighed, "The situation over there is unclear, and the situation here is also unclear, it's really..."
"There's nothing we can do. We can't communicate with them on the other side of the world... huh?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice paused slightly.
"What's wrong... Ah!" Qin Yunlong opened his mouth in surprise, "Is that Xu Ying?"
At this moment, in the console scene, the figure of a girl suddenly appeared under the crown of the World Tree.
As soon as she came over, she was frightened by the giant insects that wrapped around the World Tree. She stared blankly at the giant insects surrounding her and remained motionless for several seconds.
And a few seconds in the outside world were stretched to several minutes inside the World Tree.
"It's Xu Ying." Ji Chaoyang's eyes lit up and he said to himself, "That's her. Is she the only one back? It seems that their mission is not yet completed. Xu Ying just came back to confirm the situation here."
As he said this, he stood up.
"What do you want?"
"I'll go out and explain the current situation to her. Don't let her enter the World Tree." Ji Chaoyang said, "Given her current condition, it's best not to enter or leave the World Tree, otherwise her existence will become even more unstable."
…
"This... this is... a worm mother?" Xu Ying couldn't believe her eyes. "Is it a worm mother? No... Is a worm mother this big? What on earth happened here..."
She looked back at the World Tree.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang had come out of the World Tree and walked towards her.
"Wow, it came down really quickly." Xu Ying said with a smile.
She had originally intended to come here just to take a quick look at the situation.
In her imagination, this place should be engulfed in war.
She just wanted to come over and take a quick look to see if the alien invaders had conquered the World Tree, so that their plans could be more robust in terms of time and strategy.
After all, if this place has been conquered, it means that the alien invaders are about to return.
And if there is danger on the battlefield here, she will teleport back immediately.
But what I saw was this scene.
The giant insects completely blocked the outside of the World Tree, and she could not see anything. She could only see giant beasts and petrified beasts lying, sitting, or strolling around bored in the Crystal City.
There was hardly any damage.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Fortunately, Ji Chaoyang came out at this time.
"A lot of things happened here." Ji Chaoyang didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point. In a few minutes, he simply told Xu Ying everything that happened here.
"The alien invaders' giant ship... was dragged into the teleportation array beam by an unknown giant tentacle monster... ?!"
Xu Ying was a little confused.
What is going on
"What about you guys?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
"… We are ready and will proceed to the final step. The alien invaders have not returned. So, you must continue to be careful."
Xu Ying frowned slightly, completely confused by the situation here.
Even she had no idea what the giant tentacle monster in the purple-black light column was.
In the light column of the teleportation array... that is a rift in time and space.
That giant tentacle monster can move in the cracks of time and space? !
The communication between the two was very concise and clear.
"You're not going back, are you? Okay, I understand." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Then I'll go back."
"Okay, I'm leaving too. Tell them the news here."
Xu Ying stepped lightly, and a purple-black vortex appeared and disappeared on the spot.
She did not go back directly, but teleported to the outside of the giant insect's enclosure.
As soon as she came out, she saw the bridge of light spanning the sky, which was very conspicuous against the starry night sky.
At this time, it was already night on this side of the earth.
She turned back and took a closer look at the giant insect.
"This feature... must be the Worm Queen. I didn't expect that the Worm Queen would take the initiative to come to the ground to help us..." Xu Ying murmured to herself, "Brother, this can be considered as your legacy. Is that the giant tentacle monster too..."
Then she shook her head: "No, now is not the time to think about this."
The surroundings were very quiet. Apart from the giant insect's low snoring, there was no other sound.
The land around the World Tree, which had been bombed into a mess, was beginning to sprout new green buds.
However, Xu Ying knew that these new sprouts might not be able to grow up.
She stepped lightly again, a purple-black vortex appeared, and she was swallowed into it.
…
"So, this is the situation over there." Xu Ying told everyone about the situation over there.
"So, we should still have plenty of time, right?" Wen Guixin clapped her hands and couldn't help laughing. "According to Ji Chaoyang, he predicted that they would be defeated the next morning. So, we still have at least ten hours!"
"If that's the case, we will have a lot more time." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, we don't have to worry too much. Do you guys need to take a break?"
"Rest? Of course not!" Wang Lei waved his hand, "I'm very excited right now!"
Everyone said they didn't need it.
Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying had just undergone a long-distance teleportation, and I don’t know how she is doing.
Although Xu Xin had been very opposed to her going back, she didn't listen and teleported away directly, which made him very helpless.
"I don't need to rest. I think it's better to do it in one go." Xu Ying said, "Although the time is more relaxed over there, it's not so relaxed here."
Xu Xin was silent for a moment and nodded.
That's true.
When they split into two teams, each team caused quite a bit of trouble.
Xu Xin stole the scarlet crystal cutting device, while Xu Ying killed three alien invaders, especially the security guard.
With just a little communication, the alien invaders could easily discover that their scarlet crystals were being coveted.
"Are they afraid of alien invaders and strengthening the defense of the scarlet crystal?" Li Wenxi said helplessly, "I think they are probably on guard now. It's been so long, they can't be so slow to react."
"Alas... The most important thing is that my invisible cloak may not work there." Zhao Xiaochuan was very distressed, "This is too uncomfortable."
"It's not that it won't work, but if we get too close, there's a risk of being discovered." Wen Guixin said, "So, as long as we stay hidden and don't let them get too close, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Let's go."
…
"This is the inside of the World Tree... Ah...!"
Xu Ying has brought everyone to the core of the World Tree.
The core of the world tree emitting scarlet light made Li Wenxi sigh.
But then she immediately covered her mouth.
Because she discovered that they were not the only ones here.
There are still seven or eight...
Alien invaders that look heavily armed!
These alien invaders are covered with a transparent film that reflects scarlet light. While protecting their bodies, it also allows their eyes all over their body to see.
At the same time, various weapons were inserted into their bodies. Those weapons seemed to have grown out of their bodies, and some of them were embedded in their bodies.
… Is this the fully equipped alien invader
Looks even more disgusting...
The appearance of Xu Xin and his group was not discovered by the alien invaders.
However, two alien invaders seemed to have noticed the abnormality here, and moved towards this side with instruments inserted all over their bodies.
“… There are too many of us and it’s easy to be discovered. I’ll put you in the bracelet.” Xu Xin whispered.
Everyone agreed.
In the end, only Xu Xin, Xu Ying and Zhao Xiaochuan were left outside, and the rest were all put into the bracelets.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying both grabbed Zhao Xiaochuan's arms.
His own abilities are much stronger than the Cloak of the Invisible. The Cloak of the Invisible will be discovered, but he will not.
The three of them walked around the alien invaders who were moving towards them and headed towards the scarlet crystal in the center.
"They have indeed kept a strict watch on this place." Zhao Xiaochuan whispered.
Xu Xin glanced at the alien invaders around him and whispered, "They probably think that some rebels want to take advantage of the opportunity to take away some of the scarlet crystal."
"Hehe..." Xu Ying laughed softly, "They could never have imagined that what the invaders wanted to do this time would be much more troublesome than they thought."
They want to destroy the entire Scarlet Crystal and drive these alien invaders out of the earth.
They couldn't imagine that things would be so serious, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent only seven or eight alien invaders to patrol here.
"There are only three of us now. I'll take you up directly."
As Xu Ying spoke, she took Xu Xin and Zhao Xiaochuan to a place where the seven alien invaders could not notice for the time being, and then stomped her feet lightly.
The three fell into the purple-black vortex and disappeared on the spot.
Then, it appeared directly at the core of the World Tree, next to the hole.
Although the hole in the core of the World Tree is the way to enter the underground space, there are no alien invaders guarding it.
Moreover, Xu Xin discovered that the several fully armed alien invaders patrolling here seemed to be a short distance away from the core of the World Tree and were not very close.
"... Are the alien invaders afraid of the World Tree's core?" Xu Xin speculated in a low voice.
"I feel the same way." Xu Ying looked around and nodded slightly. "We humans on Earth cannot withstand the shining of scarlet crystals. It is not unreasonable that the alien invaders do not like this white crystal."
Xu Xin nodded gently: "That's perfect."
He turned the bracelet and released everyone in it.
"We will each have a piece of anti-radiation film. Please approve it first. We are about to go down." Xu Xin whispered.
Before he came, he had already distributed three films to everyone.
He got at least fifty films from there, three for each person was more than enough.
Everyone looked around and immediately took out the film and put it on themselves.
"Xu Xin, Yingying." Li Wenxi walked up to the two of them wearing a transparent film and said softly, "When we went in just now, the monster said that if you need it, you can release it immediately."
Xu Xin nodded slightly.
He also has this plan.
Since there are these alien invaders here, it is impossible that they have no protective measures next to the scarlet crystal.
But they need to carry out various operations on the scarlet crystal, and they need a safe environment.
Maybe the monsters can provide them with that.
"let's go."
Xu Ying was the first to jump in and slid down while spinning.
Xu Xin nodded to everyone and jumped in.
The core of this world tree is very large, with a diameter of about seventy or eighty meters.
Xu Xin was like sitting on a very long spiral slide, sliding down continuously.
"Brother, we're almost there, slow down, don't knock me down." Xu Ying's voice came from below.
While slowing down, Xu Xin reminded the people above.
Soon, he saw the end point below.
as well as…
Giant scarlet crystal!
And the extremely dazzling light!
For a moment, he was unable to open his eyes because of the light.
At the same time, he felt that the transparent film he wore on his head and covered him from head to toe was getting slightly hot.
Fortunately, he didn't feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, the light was not completely impossible to see directly, as it should have been absorbed a lot by the thin film.
This film really works great.
Xu Ying was hanging at the bottom and did not go down.
"Brother, we are in trouble indeed." Xu Xin whispered.
Xu Xin slid behind Xu Ying, rubbed his eyes, and looked down again.
"This..." His eyes suddenly shrank.
At a glance, he saw the rows of black gun muzzles beside the scarlet crystal.
The muzzle of the gun was pointing at exactly the exit where they were now!
… Is this what the alien invaders are preparing for
