"here we go again!"
"Why so many?"
"How many huge ships are there?!"
"No... It doesn't have to be a new giant ship, right? Could it be the other half of this giant ship?"
"It's possible, it's really possible!"
“It’s out!”
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, a complete giant ship slowly emerged from the purple-black light column!
But... it didn't come out head first.
Instead, it came out sideways.
The entire ship was like a ship that was about to capsize, slowly falling towards the outside of the purple-black light column.
The hull of the ship was still badly damaged, with holes all over the hull.
Of course, this was a scene that was slowed down a hundred times inside the World Tree. In fact, the speed at which this giant ship fell outwards was not slow.
The giant ship poured out directly from the purple-black light column, and then crashed to the ground, dispersing most of the smoke caused by the explosion around it.
After a few seconds of silence, the World Tree began to boil again.
"Another one! Another one!"
"These... are three huge ships!"
"Oh my god! This alien invader has sent an entire fleet to deal with us!"
"I say, there won't be more than a dozen ships in total? Or even dozens?"
"What on earth is going on? Are all these huge ships damaged in that beam of light? Is there something wrong with the teleportation formation?"
"Didn't they say that a giant tentacle monster emerged from the formation and dragged the giant ship in again?"
"There are monsters in the passage of the teleportation array..."
"A monster living in a space tunnel?"
"I-When I think about how I used to be teleported here to join the explorer boss, I get a little panicked... Fortunately, I didn't encounter him..."
At the same time, amidst this heated discussion, everyone's hands never stopped pressing the buttons.
Countless nuclear missiles were fired towards the direction of the purple-black light column as if they were free.
A relatively intact giant ship, of course we have to continue bombing!
…
Mushroom clouds were rising slowly in the sky a hundred kilometers away.
Everyone was suddenly happy, and panicked.
They were happy because three of the alien invaders' giant warships had been destroyed in the teleportation tunnel of this teleportation array, but they were worried because they didn't know how many giant warships the alien invaders had.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
At this time, Qi Xuefei said, "We actually received news before that the alien invaders have a total of four giant ships. We didn't tell everyone because we were afraid that everyone would panic. But now, three of their giant ships have been destroyed, and only the last one is left."
Qi Xuefei's words immediately sparked discussion again.
“Is this true or false?”
"You're kidding us? Three ships came out and then told us there were only four in total?"
"What's the point of lying to you?"
"Give us peace of mind!"
"Why should we feel uneasy? We already have a way out."
During the previous rehearsal, everyone already knew that they also had a world tree on the sea.
"That's true..."
Some people were very interested in the source of this news and asked questions immediately.
"Master Qi Xuefei, are there really only four? Who told you this news?"
"Boss, Boss Xu Xin has been away for a while. Is he out investigating?"
"Yes, the situation is so critical now, and I haven't seen Master Xu Xin yet..."
"You just discovered..."
"I have long felt that Elder Xu Xin should be out."
"No, where can we go? We can't go to the lair of alien invaders, right?"
"What a joke! The alien invaders' lair is on the other side of the earth. How can we get there?"
"I was just joking. Everyone knows it's impossible to get through!"
Everyone was already beginning to suspect that Xu Xin and the others were going out.
Ji Chaoyang and the others did not explain anything.
They had previously told them that Xu Xin and his team were not in charge of this area, so they would not come.
But now more than a month has passed in the World Tree, and Xu Xin and the others have not shown up once. The situation has become so serious that it is indeed impossible to hide it.
"This is indeed the news brought back by Xu Xin and his team, so you can believe it." Qi Xuefei added, "In short, we must understand that we are now facing only one giant ship, we..."
Suddenly, her voice stopped.
That purple-black light column lit up again in some parts!
It’s coming again!
Now, everyone in the World Tree held their breath and looked at the purple-black light nervously.
Explorers are no exception.
Ji Chaoyang and the others were very nervous.
Because they knew this was the last one.
If this last ship is also damaged, they may even have a chance of winning!
Ji Chaoyang even predicted it for a few seconds on the spot.
But then his expression turned slightly ugly again.
There is no change, the prophecy still shows a complete conquest.
The light on the purple-black beam became brighter and brighter, and then, a super-giant ship, which was much larger than the previous three ships, slowly poked out half of its hull from the position of the light.
This time, the giant ship was driven by myself!
Although there were some obvious scratches and dents on the hull of the giant ship, there was no serious damage.
This super battleship is like a damaged battleship that has returned victoriously from the battlefield!
Suddenly, everyone's expressions became a little horrified.
"This huge ship... This huge ship..."
"How come it's so big! This huge ship... How come it's so much bigger than the previous three!"
At the same time, someone else exclaimed, "It's this ship! This is it! This is the huge ship we saw at the beginning! I was saying that the previous ones seemed a little smaller!"
"This... this looks much better than the three junks before!"
"Isn't this nonsense? The three previous ships have all become scrap metal, but this one is still intact!"
"It's over, it's over. Are we finished? Let's run! Run to the World Tree on the sea!"
"Fuck, why are you panicking? Can't you see that this ship is already in bad shape? It's obviously the last gasp of its strength!"
"Yes, look at the speed at which it flew out of the purple-black light column. It is much slower than the previous three ships!"
"Those three ships didn't fly out by themselves..."
"Do you think that giant tentacle monster from before will show its might again and drag this giant ship back?"
"have no idea… "
"Boss, should we take action?"
"Yes, let's hit it before it comes out completely!"
Ji Chaoyang said: "Wait a moment, don't make a move yet."
He is also waiting for a connecting flight.
It was not because he was naive, but in his prediction, although they were defeated, they did not see any giant ships.
If it wasn't because the giant ship returned before the scene he predicted, it was because the giant ship didn't play any role at all.
And now, there are still five hours before they retreat.
He didn't think they could hold out under this giant ship for five hours.
Because the previous extremely violent nuclear missile bombing did not destroy the wreckage of those giant ships.
Although their target was the alien invaders who might still be alive in the giant ship, the wreckage did not turn into pieces in such a violent bombing, but was only slightly deformed, which made Ji Chaoyang a little worried.
Because this shows that even if their most powerful weapon, the nuclear missile, directly hits the hull of the giant ship, it cannot cause too much damage to the giant ship!
The gap in strength between the two sides is too big!
If this giant ship really came directly towards them, the possibility of them holding out for five hours before being defeated would be extremely small!
So, he thought, there is still a twist!
"Are you waiting for the giant tentacle monster you guys talked about?" Shi Wanyun said softly.
"Yes, and no." Ji Chaoyang looked at the giant ship, "Maybe it's the giant tentacle monster, or maybe it's something else. In short, this giant ship may..."
Before he could finish his words, Tong Kong suddenly shrank.
At the same time, everyone below exclaimed in surprise.
"The speed suddenly increased!"
"This giant ship is really about to rush out!"
"Old men, are you really not going to take action?"
"It will be too late by the time this giant ship comes out!"
In the purple-black light column, a large ship with half of its hull sticking out suddenly accelerated and flew out quickly.
Even if the scene inside the World Tree was slowed down a hundred times, this giant ship would probably fly out completely within a minute!
"Hey, do you think..." Ma Hongwei raised his eyebrows, "This scene seems to be similar to the three giant ships before? The speed is so fast all of a sudden, it's like... someone kicked it out suddenly."
"It does look like it." Qin Yunlong looked at the scene outside with a serious look in his eyes. "What on earth is in that purple-black light column?"
"No matter what, at least one thing is certain, that is, this giant ship is really coming out." Ji Chaoyang's eyes were sharp, "The culprit who caused all this in the light column should send them out again!"
Then he immediately ordered everyone: "Attack! Attack with all your might!"
Since this giant ship can't be towed back, it's time for them to take action!
He didn't take action before because he was afraid that the tentacle monster would appear again. Their bombing would damage the tentacles of the giant tentacle monster and cause them unnecessary trouble.
But now, no matter what kind of twists and turns there will be later, they must attack!
The crowd, who had long been unable to contain their excitement, immediately pressed the launch button.
Then, the previous situation happened again.
Hundreds of hypersonic missiles flew towards the giant ship a hundred kilometers away.
But before the nuclear missile arrived, the giant ship had already completely flown out of the purple-black light column!
At this time, everyone in the World Tree saw the complete appearance of this super ship for the first time.
Although there are some bumps on the hull of the giant ship, it is still very intact overall.
And at the moment the giant ship flew out, a layer of scarlet light film appeared around the giant ship, wrapping the giant ship!
And just a few seconds after the light film appeared, the first wave of hypersonic missiles arrived!
The missile passed through the scarlet film, and then...
Just disappeared.
There was no explosion, no light, and no mushroom cloud.
Nothing at all.
After piercing the scarlet light film, the missiles seemed to disappear directly, just like a drop of rain falling into a lake, which only caused a ripple before completely disappearing.
“Ah, this…!”
"ha?!"
"It didn't explode?!"
"What is that red ball of light that directly envelopes that huge ship?"
"Is that the... protective shield of the giant ship?"
"What a bullshit! Is this alien technology? What's the principle behind it?"
"Maybe they used some kind of electromagnetic radiation to destroy our missiles?"
“Awesome!”
"Ci oh, can you please stop praising the enemy! Our most powerful weapon is useless! We are doomed!"
"It's over, it's over, it's really over now..."
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Should we continue to attack or just slip away?"
"Let's just slip away. Nuclear missiles are useless, what else can we do?"
"Mom, I don't want to die...!"
Although several explorers also looked solemn, they were not as worried as the people below.
"How's your prediction, Brother Chaoyang?"
Ji Chaoyang just entered the prophetic state again, wanting to see if there would be any changes in the future.
His somewhat empty eyes recovered and his expression became normal: "Nothing has changed. It's still the same future. It will take us five hours to fall."
Ji Chaoyang's words gave Qi Xuefei, Ma Hongwei and others a reassurance.
They all looked at the huge ship outside again.
No, the giant ship was no longer visible at this time. Only a large scarlet ball of light remained, completely covering the giant ship.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"Let's retreat, boss!"
The people below have already begun to think about retreating.
Knowing that they have a way out, they have already started to back down.
"Don't worry. This giant ship won't hold on for long." Ma Hongwei waved his hand downwards and said in a very relaxed tone.
He certainly didn't seem worried at all.
This made everyone else a little confused.
"Ah? Isn't there anything to worry about in this situation?"
"We can't break the opponent's defense at all!"
"However, what Wei Ge said makes sense. How long can the other party maintain this kind of protective membrane? This giant ship is so big. Doesn't it require energy to maintain such a huge protective membrane?"
"yes!"
"If we keep attacking and exhausting the opponent..."
"Maybe we can still take down this giant ship!"
"Don't be so delusional! Our nuclear missiles can't even blow up the debris on the ground. Even without the protective film, we can't hit the enemy!"
"That's right, we should run now, saving our lives is the most important thing!"
Almost all the survivors were in favor of fighting, and those who wanted to save their lives basically came out from underground, including many fanatical followers of Xu Xin and Xu Ying.
There's no way. Xu Xin and Xu Ying are not here. They haven't appeared for more than a month.
They only obey their own "gods" and are not very interested in other explorer members such as Ji Chaoyang.
And the number of these people far exceeds that of the survivors.
For a moment, the underground space was in chaos.
But Ji Chaoyang didn't say anything. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at the big scarlet ball of light outside.
At this time, the last wave of nuclear missiles had penetrated into the ball of light.
As expected, all the nuclear missiles disappeared completely.
But the giant ship did not take any action.
There was no movement at all, nor any intention to attack this side.
It feels like being beaten passively.
This giant ship...
At this moment, the protective shield emitting scarlet light gradually faded and then disappeared, and the huge ship inside appeared in front of everyone again.
There was no change compared to when it emerged from the beam of light.
The hundreds of nuclear missiles they launched also completely disappeared.
"Hiss—Do you think they will use the nuclear missiles we sent them for their own use?!"
"ah?"
"Borrowing arrows from a straw boat?"
"Not really. Do they really need to use our weapons?"
"Yeah, our weapons should be very useless to them, right?"
"Ah! It's moving! That huge ship is moving!
”
"Boss, should we continue to attack?!"
Ji Chaoyang looked outside solemnly and said in a deep voice: "No, don't move yet."
Hundreds of kilometers away, this giant ship slowly rose into the air.
Rising higher and higher.
At the same time, the bow of the giant ship slowly began to turn.
Of course, the slow speed is because we are looking out from inside the World Tree. If it were at normal speed, this giant ship should have quickly taken off and turned around at the same time.
What confused everyone present was that the head of the giant ship did not turn towards them, but... moved away from them.
"Is this huge ship leaving?" Shi Wanyun asked softly, "Is it going back?"
"go back… "
It certainly looks that way.
The bow of the giant ship had now turned to another direction, and that direction was exactly the direction of the other ray of light that was connected to the light of the teleportation array here.
"Are you really going back?" Ma Hongwei was a little incredulous.
"If that's the case, then we don't have to fight them?" Qi Xuefei's expression softened and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This giant ship was a completely invincible enemy for them.
Only Ji Chaoyang looked a little gloomy at this time.
He looked at the huge ship that had already turned around, gritted his teeth, and suddenly said to the people below: "Everyone, attack!"
At this time, everyone below was also wondering whether the giant ship was going to leave. When they heard Ji Chaoyang's order, they subconsciously pressed the attack button.
In an instant, countless hypersonic missiles flew towards the giant ship again!
"You... what are you doing!" Ma Hongwei immediately said in shock, "This giant ship doesn't want to be our enemy, right? You are doing this..."
He paused for a moment, then looked thoughtful.
The others also fell into deep thought after being startled.
"It is because they do not want to be our enemy that I am going to attack this giant ship!"
Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice: "Don't forget what our mission is! It's not to save our lives! It's to hold them back!"
Everyone's heart sank.
The first wave of hypersonic missiles has arrived, and a layer of protective film appears again around the giant ship as the hypersonic missiles are about to attack.
The missile disappeared again without a trace.
The protective film showed a slight ripple.
This time the waves seem to be a little bigger than before.
"Our current situation is not that bad." Ji Chaoyang looked deeply at the protective film that wrapped the giant ship. "The other party left without launching any attack. I'm afraid it's because they are also at the end of their strength."
Although it is unknown what this giant ship has experienced in the purple-black light column, it is obvious that the weapons and energy of this giant ship have probably been...
It’s almost consumed!
They still have a chance!
"If possible, we..."
"We need to take down this giant ship."
"We can't let them go back. Our mission is to buy time for Xu Xin and the others."
"Even if it means buying a few more minutes."
