Everyone was fiercely bombarding the huge ship that was trying to leave.
But some people find it inappropriate.
"Why are you attacking this giant ship?"
Some people stopped what they were doing and questioned.
"It clearly wanted to leave just now, and it is basically impossible for us to completely destroy this giant ship. Isn't this forcing it to stay and fight against us?"
His words also caused dissatisfaction among others.
"Yeah, why attack?"
"Wasn't it better to let it go just now? And now it's staying again..."
"Don't chase after a desperate enemy!"
Because Ji Chaoyang and others did not tell them about Xu Xin's plan, they felt that it was meaningless to keep this giant ship.
But some people hold different opinions.
"We all have a way out, so what are we afraid of? Even if we are defeated, the worst that can happen is that we can just run away."
"That's right. The enemy's warship has obviously experienced a great battle in that purple-black light column. Maybe its weapons are out of ammunition. Now is the best time to destroy the enemy's warship!"
"Why are you afraid? You can't die!"
"That's right. After this giant ship leaves, it might come back to attack us. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to defeat us then?"
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
Some people have stopped attacking, while others are still attacking.
This resulted in the World Tree's nuclear missile bombardment not stopping, but the ferocity of the attack was reduced.
A hundred kilometers away, the scarlet protective film that had begun to vibrate gradually stopped fluctuating.
"Everyone, our task now is to fight together!"
Qi Xuefei wanted to control the somewhat chaotic situation.
But it was meaningless because most of the people in the audience were followers of Xu Xin and Xu Ying.
Although they obeyed orders very well at first, they were already feeling dissatisfied as they had not seen their "God" for more than a month.
Ji Chaoyang also shook his head slightly.
He knew this would happen.
It's not a specially trained army to carry out the mission, that's the way it is.
Among these people were soldiers of the Wei family. Most of them were silently carrying out orders, while some were scolding those around them who did not obey orders.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying's followers became a little restless because they had not received any news about the two from Ji Chaoyang.
Most of the survivors who have experienced the cruel survival are advocates of war.
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
Shi Wanyun frowned and looked down.
“These people...!” Ma Hongwei reached out to his waist, wanting to suppress them with his weapon.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang spoke up: "Everyone, Xu Xin, Xu Ying and others are on a secret mission. What we need to do now is to help them delay time. We can't let this giant ship return, otherwise it may pose a threat to them."
He finally decided to speak out.
Because these fanatical believers are extremely paranoid, otherwise they would not have abandoned their current lives without knowing anything and followed their gods to the ground.
Unless Xu Xin and Xu Ying show up in person, they won't be easily persuaded like normal people.
During the month that Xu Xin and Xu Ying were missing, these people had already begun to suspect what Ji Chaoyang and his companions had done to their gods.
Ji Chaoyang tried many methods and appeased them for a month, but now it seems that he can no longer control the situation.
Then give them a little hint.
"So, the longer we keep this giant ship, the safer Xu Xin, Xu Ying and the others will be. And the key to victory in this battle lies with them. We must buy them time at all costs."
His words left the believers who were stirring up trouble below speechless for a moment.
The others started talking about it.
"Delaying time...?"
"Why not let the giant ship return... Is it to buy time for Brother Xin and the others?"
“… Holy shit!
Brother Xin and the others... are really in the base camp of the alien invaders?!?! "
"Huh?! Impossible? No... Impossible?!"
"Fuck, Brother Xin and his friends just stole my house?!"
"I knew that Brother Xin and the others hadn't shown up for so long, so they must be doing something earth-shattering!"
"Fuck, is this true?"
The believers also stopped making a commotion.
"Our Lord God has gone to the base camp of the alien invaders to eradicate them completely!"
"Too strong! Too strong! As expected of our God..."
"No, I can't believe what he said. The gods haven't appeared for such a long time, it's possible that he caused..."
"Are you kidding me?! How could our God be harmed by a tiny human!"
"You have to know that when our Xin Shen participated in human survival competitions, he never let humans take second place!"
"So the gods are going to do something so important!"
"Why didn't you tell us..."
"Why would God need to tell you what to do?! If you were captured, you would have to reveal the plan!"
"Fuck, you are insulting my faith!"
For a time, Xu Xin and Xu Ying's followers had completely accepted this statement.
And find reasons for yourself to believe it.
Their hands were not idle either, and they started moving again.
Nuclear missiles can be launched faster in their hands than before!
"Everyone, for our ultimate victory, we must speed up our offensive pace!" said Ji Chaoyang.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that these fanatical believers would not care and might do something unsure.
If they suppress it directly, it will be too disadvantageous to their current situation.
So he revealed a little about the location of Xu Xin and the others.
Now, they have basically confirmed that three of the four giant warships of the alien invaders have been destroyed.
The only remaining ship seemed to have lost its ability to attack and wanted to escape in despair.
With the alien invaders so decadent, it wouldn’t hurt to give everyone a little more information.
The possibility of the news leaking out has been greatly reduced, and he did not reveal any key information. He did not reveal that Xu Xin and his team's target was the opponent's scarlet crystal.
"Keep increasing your attack power, no need to be stingy with ammunition!"
Ji Chaoyang gave the order.
This time, there is no such thing as a first or second wave of missiles.
Countless missiles flew towards the giant ship like a rain of arrows and a wave!
"Attack! Attack!"
"For our gods, attack!"
"We must not allow these giant ships to return! Absolutely not!"
Those fanatical believers who were originally causing trouble and later began to not contribute any effort have now gone into full swing.
The giant ship a hundred kilometers away suddenly suffered a very violent blow!
Hundreds of nuclear missiles penetrated the spherical protective shield surrounding the giant ship.
And the fluctuation of the protective shield is getting bigger and bigger!
"Did you notice that when the protective shield appeared, this giant ship didn't move at all?" Qin Yunlong thought as he looked at the situation outside.
"Indeed, they hardly moved." Shi Wanyun nodded gently, "Maybe... they can't move at all."
"Is there a possibility that this scarlet protective shield..." Ma Hongwei speculated, "is actually generated by the operation of the 'engine' of this giant ship?"
"Action and defense cannot be carried out at the same time..." Ji Chaoyang whispered, "If we keep attacking like this... Ma Hongwei, if we keep throwing weapons like this, how long can we last?"
"Keep firing like this?" Ma Hongwei pointed at the nuclear missiles outside that were like a wave, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Isn't this consumption rate too fast? Although we have been preparing for a long time and have been creating truce time, but... this consumption rate is unbearable."
"So, how long can you last?" Ji Chaoyang continued to ask.
"Um..." Ma Hongwei thought for a moment, "Only... one day? Maybe less than one day. I mean, one day inside the World Tree."
One day inside the World Tree, outside the World Tree...
It took less than a quarter of an hour.
Ji Chaoyang frowned slightly.
That won't take long.
"Look outside!" Qi Xuefei asked in surprise, "Is the color of that protective shield a little lighter?"
Everyone looked over and saw that, as expected, the protective shield had become somewhat dim under the attack of countless nuclear missiles, and at the same time, the ripples on it were becoming more and more numerous.
When they attacked before, each missile was like a raindrop falling into the sea, failing to cause any waves at all.
But now, every shot seemed to create a ripple, causing the entire protective shield to begin to fluctuate drastically!
"Since the giant ship cannot move when the protective shield is activated, it means that the energy consumption of maintaining the protective shield is very high, which should be similar to the energy consumption when the giant ship is sailing."
Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice.
"And this giant ship is obviously running out of energy, so it is returning. If we continue to attack..."
"It's possible that the energy of this giant ship will be exhausted!" Ma Hongwei clapped his hands and said excitedly, "If this giant ship is stranded here, maybe we can still study it!"
He was very interested in this giant ship.
"No, it won't necessarily run aground." Ji Chaoyang said as he looked at the increasingly dim purple-black light column, "It might use its last energy to fight to the death with us, or it might withstand our missile attacks and leave."
"Ah... indeed." Ma Hongwei nodded.
Defending until the energy is exhausted is definitely the stupidest thing to do.
With the other party's intelligence, he shouldn't do such a thing.
"I hope they attack us and don't just leave like this." Shi Wanyun said with a little worry, "But... if they could attack, they should have attacked long ago."
"Yes." Ji Chaoyang nodded slowly, "So, I think the possibility of them leaving directly is..."
Before he could finish his words, a sudden change occurred on the giant ship!
The scarlet protective shield suddenly flashed twice and then disappeared!
Then, countless nuclear missiles hit the protected giant ship directly!
In an instant, dazzling white light continued to explode over there!
Mushroom clouds rose and smoke filled the air, but was dispersed by another explosion the next second.
The blinding white light and smoke made it impossible for everyone in the World Tree to see what was happening over there.
But this did not stop everyone from having fun.
"We win! We win!"
"We broke that shield!"
“Hahahaha, it exploded! So many nuclear missiles finally started exploding!”
"Blow it up!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. Our missiles shouldn't be able to cause too much damage to this giant ship, right?"
"Uh... yeah, we can't even destroy the debris on the ground..."
"Do you want to stop and take a look at the situation, Boss?"
Someone asked Ji Chaoyang and others.
Because their bombing had not stopped, the blinding light and smoke caused by the missiles had completely enveloped that side, and nothing could be seen on this side.
But these missiles can still explode in the air, which means they still hit the target.
The huge ship was still there and did not run away.
"Keep attacking, don't stop."
"Hello, old man!"
"attack!"
"Fuck it, don't let it run away!"
"Buy time for our gods!"
"You are already dead!"
"Shit, my hands are cramping... ah!"
Suddenly, the situation changed.
Within a few seconds, the smoke around the giant ship was directly dispersed, revealing the giant ship inside.
Then, a layer of scarlet protective film appeared again, but this time, the protective film looked very thin, even almost transparent.
Through this protective film, everyone in the World Tree can see the giant ship inside.
But even so, this protective film is still performing its duties.
After the nuclear missiles, like a rain of arrows, penetrated this protective film, they did not stop flying, but instead crashed directly into the hull of the giant ship.
But it did not explode. Instead, it crashed directly into it, and the fragments fell downwards.
At one time, hundreds of nuclear missiles were intercepted in this way.
The giant ship was not intact after being attacked by countless nuclear missiles. There were many potholes and bumps on the metal hull, and because of the temperature generated by the explosion, some parts of the giant ship had turned a high-temperature dark red!
At the same time, this seemingly transparent protective film was shaking and flashing violently.
From time to time, a nuclear missile would penetrate while it was flashing, and then explode again on the hull of the giant ship. The light remained, but the smoke was directly dispersed outside the protective film.
Although this protective film has some leaks, it can still protect against most missiles.
“This film is so thin…”
"Is the other side already in trouble?"
"Damn, this huge ship is still intact after being attacked like that!"
"It's not intact! We added a lot of holes to its hull!"
"Fuck, what's the point of the pit... Fuck!"
At this moment, the giant ship suddenly began to float!
The speed of rising was so fast that even to the people inside the World Tree, it looked like it was rising rapidly.
Because of the high speed, strong air friction fire appeared on the upper part of the entire giant ship, just like a huge meteorite flying backwards and straight into the sky!
"It's going up?" Ji Chaoyang's expression changed slightly.
"It should be returning home." Shi Wanyun said, "It must enter the universe to fly quickly in an atmosphere-less environment."
The speed of the giant ship is not slow now, but for a space ship sailing in the universe, this speed is not enough.
But even so, the air friction had turned the giant ship into a fireball.
Therefore, if you want to fly quickly back to the other hemisphere, the correct option is to fly up out of the atmosphere and then accelerate.
The missiles in the World Tree were still being fired towards that side frantically, but most of them were blocked by the protective film. A few of them exploded on the hull of the giant ship, but only caused a slight shake and a slight deviation of the hull.
Half a minute later, the giant ship soared into the sky and disappeared into space.
All that was left was a whole trail of smoke trailing upward at an angle.
"This is too fast..." Qin Yunlong exhaled, extremely shocked, "Inside the World Tree, less than a minute has passed, right? In other words, this giant ship rushed from the ground into space in less than a second? This speed..."
"With this speed, no wonder it turned into a fireball." Ma Hongwei muttered to himself, "Tsk... I really want to study it."
"The giant ship is returning..." Ji Chaoyang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the trail of smoke that was dragged out. "It must be returning to their base camp."
"... Are Xu Xin and the others in danger..." A trace of worry flashed in Shi Wanyun's eyes.
"We have tried our best." Qi Xuefei sighed softly, "There is nothing we can do. We can't stop this giant ship from returning."
"At least we should consume some of the energy of the giant ship." Ji Chaoyang said helplessly.
"Wait a minute, Brother Chaoyang, now three of the four giant ships are destroyed and one has escaped. What about our future..."
Ji Chaoyang also thought of this and used his ability of prophecy again.
"Not surprising," he said.
"It won't be breached?" Qin Yunlong asked.
"No. They will still be breached." Ji Chaoyang said, "Nothing has changed. In my prediction, there were no giant ships. Now some of the giant ships are destroyed, and some are leaving. It just happens to be in line with the situation in the prediction."
"... In other words, even if the giant ship leaves, we will still have to face a powerful enemy."
Several people looked at the people below.
Some people cheered for the departure of the giant ship, while others were worried.
"The giant ship has returned...?"
"It's broken, it's broken... We can't let it return!"
"It's over. Are we holding God back..."
"This... May God bless you and keep you safe..."
"Ah, Brother Xin protects himself?"
"Don't worry, Brother Xin will be fine. We survivors guarantee that he is a miracle worker!"
"That's good... That's good..."
"Is our battle over?"
"No."
At this time, Ji Chaoyang's voice sounded.
"It's not over yet. The truly brutal battle is still to come."
