The two walked into the scarlet corridor.
The scarlet light dyed both of them red.
However, the scarlet light here was much weaker than the concentrated scarlet crystal in the underground space. Even though the light was shining from all directions, it did not cause any discomfort to the two.
"Card… "
At this moment, a mechanical sound came from behind.
The door behind me was slowly closing automatically.
This is not a big deal for Xu Xin and Xu Ying. If they want to go out, they can just teleport directly.
The moment the door closed, Xu Xin saw the alien invaders gathered outside the door through the gap.
There are at least nearly twenty of them.
But no alien invader dared to approach, and all of them stayed at least twenty meters away from the door.
"boom!"
Until the gate was completely closed, not even a single alien invader approached.
Xu Xin turned around and took a look: "Be careful. This door can be opened so easily, but none of them dare to approach it. This means there may be extremely dangerous mechanisms inside."
"It is also possible that the alien invader leader's reputation for evil is too deeply rooted in people's minds."
Xu Ying also looked back, but then she no longer cared and began to look at the magnificent decorations around her.
"If they dare to get close, the leader might drive them out of the World Tree. These pampered alien invaders and nobles can't stand the 'extremely harsh' living environment on Earth."
She squatted down and said as she looked at the skirting board decorated with gold, silver and jewels at the base of the wall.
Xu Xin nodded slightly.
That is indeed possible.
"The alien invaders living in this world tree probably can't go out freely."
He walked forward along the corridor and said.
"These alien invaders don't even know what's happening outside. They are almost completely isolated from the outside world. Moreover, the way we entered this world tree can basically prove this."
How did they enter this world tree
It was Wen Guixin who controlled the guard of this world tree and asked the guard to bring them in.
The guard directly used a special method to corrode the tree trunk, corroding a channel on the trunk that could quickly repair itself, and brought Xu Ying, Wen Guixin and others in.
This method of entry is extremely difficult.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the trunk of the World Tree to be corroded to create a channel.
Because the World Tree's self-healing ability is very strong, even powerful weapons cannot cause any damage to the World Tree's trunk. The guard must have used some special method to slow down the World Tree's self-healing ability.
But even so, the passage can only be maintained for about five meters, and the back will still heal automatically.
Others "Just think about it, it is completely isolated from the outside world, the security is so strict, and people are not allowed to go out at will. The alien invaders here are so leisurely and naive. We haven't seen any weapons here along the way..."
"Isn't this almost the same as the emperor's harem?" It would definitely be impossible for alien invaders to enter and exit in this way.
So, the alien invaders in this world tree...
I'm afraid you are not allowed to go out without permission.
And now that the leader of the alien invaders is leading his troops to war and is not here, they are naturally cut off from the outside world.
Xu Ying, who was squatting on the ground, stood up, glanced at the closed door, and then smiled playfully: "Brother, do you think this is the harem of the leader of the alien invaders?"
Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
"Harem?"
"Yes."
Xu Ying tapped her lips and smiled, "Just think about it, it's completely isolated from the outside world, the security is so strict, and people are not allowed to go out at will. The alien invaders here are so leisurely, and we haven't seen any weapons here along the way..."
"Isn't this similar to the emperor's harem?"
She glanced around the passageway and said, "This place is so luxurious and extravagant, it must be the emperor's palace, right? This entire world tree seems to be the emperor's palace."
This conjecture is really...
That makes some sense.
The atmosphere here really has that feeling.
"Then those alien invaders we just encountered..."
"They are all the leader's 'concubines', right?" Xu Ying glanced at the closed door behind her. "They don't dare to come in. I'm afraid it's because their 'emperor' won't let them in."
Good job.
Is it because of this
"I have some questions. If this is where the leader lives, then why does the gate we just entered seem to have not been opened for a long time?"
Xu Xin asked the doubts in his mind.
“Because it doesn’t live here.”
Xu Ying walked forward.
"This is probably the luxurious palace that the 'leader' created for himself. Although I don't know what's here, I don't think he would allow his 'concubine' to enter here. After all, the whole place is built with scarlet crystal."
"So, this is not where it lives, but a treasure house it built?" Xu Xin touched his chin and said.
"Yes, I think so." Xu Ying nodded and pointed around. "Although the gate can be opened at will, the group of 'concubines' outside did not dare to enter. Besides their 'emperor' did not allow it, I'm afraid this corridor is also very dangerous."
"There is a mechanism here." Xu Xin looked around.
The whole corridor is extremely luxurious and extravagant, with golden ornaments and various precious gems everywhere.
"These gold ornaments... are they mechanisms?" He narrowed his eyes.
"I guess."
Xu Ying spread her hands and then pointed to a piece of gold jewelry.
"Look at this gold ornament. Can you see some shadows faintly inside the scarlet crystal?"
Xu Xin looked carefully.
Although these scarlet crystals release a soft light, they are not transparent and are even extremely chaotic. It is basically impossible to see anything through the scarlet crystals.
But if you look closely, you can indeed see a hazy shadow behind every wall decoration, such as the decorative chandelier.
"I feel like that should be the mechanism."
Xu Ying looked down at the gorgeous skirting board again.
"I was just observing this. I feel that if it weren't for the cloaks we were wearing, we would have been shot into sieves or burned to death the moment the door closed, or... In short, there might be all kinds of different mechanisms here."
A lot of different agencies
Xu Xin looked around and nodded, "That should be it."
"Even we can open the door here, and there is no way that the leader of the alien invaders would allow such a large area of scarlet crystal to be within reach, even if the world tree may be full of its 'concubines'."
This scarlet corridor must be very attractive to alien invaders.
Anyone can get in, what's the problem
And it's not just the idle "concubines" who can enter here.
The two of them had followed an alien invader... probably a military general, and entered here using its vine ball elevator.
After coming up, the military general continued to summon some alien invaders to go down.
That group of alien invaders should be responsible for maintaining public security within this world tree.
Probably equivalent to... palace guards
Those alien invaders basically only moved around the small area where they came up by elevator.
The two of them moved slightly away from the elevator entrance and only encountered these leisurely nobles who knew nothing.
But those "palace guards" who can carry weapons may still come here.
Therefore, it is possible that those "palace guards" broke in here out of greed.
There's no way this place is defenseless.
Therefore, these seemingly magnificent decorations may actually be life-threatening devices.
And this corridor built with scarlet crystal may be a trap for alien invaders.
"It's just a guess. However, if my sister-in-law were here, she should be able to tell if there is any mechanism in the wall." Xu Ying said, "I should bring my sister-in-law up. How about I go back and bring her here to have a look?"
"Forget it." Xu Xin stopped Xu Ying, "It's too dangerous here. Don't let her come up."
Wen Xi has no ability to protect himself, so it’s safer for him to stay down there.
The thick foggy situation below also required her abilities to observe.
After all, destroying the concentrated scarlet crystal below is the purpose of their trip.
And he and Xu Ying are just the right match.
Even if he encounters danger, Xu Ying can catch him and teleport him directly.
But the three people might get separated from each other, and Xu Ying would have to grab two people to teleport, which might lead to accidents.
"But there are scarlet crystals here too." Xu Ying pointed to the top of her head, then pointed to the ground below her feet, "We have to destroy the scarlet crystals here too, right?"
"… Let's see the situation first. If we are not in danger, then bring Wen Xi to see it."
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
Here... How can I destroy it
"Brother, you really care about your sister-in-law!" Xu Ying teased.
Xu Xin glanced at her and said, "Okay, let's go. There might be something you want ahead."
"Yes, this is the treasure house of the leader of the alien invaders!"
The two of them quickened their pace slightly.
But they did not dare to move too fast, otherwise they would be locked by the possible mechanism in the corridor, and that would be the end of them.
The two finally walked through the magnificent corridor and reached the corner at the end.
After turning the corner, they saw another big door.
Basically the same as the entrance.
But this door looks much newer and cleaner than the one at the entrance.
The patterns on the door were not covered with dust or vines.
The metal gate reflected a cold red glow under the illumination of the surrounding scarlet crystals.
The red glow in those lines is even more powerful.
"These patterns seem to be glowing on their own, right?" Xu Ying took a closer look and covered it with her hand. "Sure enough, the patterns on this door are glowing on their own. And..."
The two looked towards the crack in the door.
The door was actually open.
It was only opened a little bit, and only one side of the double door was somewhat movable.
It was slightly open, leaving a gap.
There are no buttons on both sides of the door like before.
This door... does it have to be pushed open with force
"See what's inside first!"
Xu Ying walked towards the door and was about to get close to the crack to look inside.
"Bing!"
At this time, Coco, who had been nestling in Xu Xin's arms with only two furry ears exposed because she didn't want to be exposed to the red light, suddenly poked out half of her head and called out to Xu Ying anxiously.
"Yingying, come back!"
Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
Coco found danger again!
"Ah?" Although Xu Ying was puzzled, she immediately stopped where she was and looked back at Xu Xin and the little guy in his arms, "What's wrong? What did this little guy find out?"
"There is danger."
Xu Xin walked forward, grabbed Xu Ying's arm, and pulled her back two steps.
"Danger..." Xu Ying glanced at the door. "I also suspect there is a trap, but I just plan to take a look inside, not push the door open."
"Ying!" Coco stretched out her little paw and waved.
What it means is that there is danger too!
Is it dangerous just to take a look inside
Now Xu Xin and Xu Ying are wearing stealth cloaks, so they should not be detected by optical detectors.
Could it be...
Gravity probe
Xu Xin looked at the ground.
The ground in front of the gate is still made of scarlet crystal.
It was smooth, emitting a relatively soft scarlet glow, no different from other places.
"Is it the ground?" Xu Xin asked the little guy in his arms.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded her little head.
It really is gravity sensing...
"It's a gravity-sensing trap." Xu Xin said, "If you had walked over there just now, you would have stepped on the trap."
Although their stealth cloaks are not afraid of optical sensing, they are still afraid of gravity sensing.
After all, this cloak can only eliminate their presence, but their weight is still real.
"Gravity sensor trap?" Xu Ying was slightly surprised. "In front of this gate... set up a gravity sensor trap?"
She looked at the ground, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"This place is really full of traps..."
Xu Ying couldn't help but sigh: "Being able to set up a gravity-sensing trap in front of the door, I'm afraid this place wasn't intended to be visited often from the beginning."
really.
This is equivalent to placing a landmine in front of your door.
Who would have the time to place a landmine in front of their own door
However, if this is a treasure trove, that would be a different story.
This corridor and the gravity trap in front of the door have already told Xu Xin and the others that this place itself... is a big trap that is meant to lure them into a trap.
Normally, when they see the half-open door, they would explore it briefly for the sake of caution, and they would step on the gravity trap.
This half-open door is also part of the trap.
"Given the leader's caution, it's normal for him to set a trap in front of the treasure house." Xu Ying pursed her lips, "So, how should we get in... Let me think..."
She did not approach the gate, but instead found the angle three or four meters away from the gate.
"You are..."
"I'll try to find an angle to see if I can see what's going on inside." Xu Ying stopped at one spot and tilted her head to the left. "If I can see something, I can teleport you in directly."
"Oh... Can you now teleport anywhere you look?"
"Of course, just make sure there are no obstacles. Alright!"
Xu Ying had been looking around through the crack in the door and had a glimpse of a small area inside.
She held Xu Xin's arm and said, "You can go in now."
"There might be danger inside." Xu Xin reminded.
"Then come out again."
"Aren't you unable to teleport continuously?"
"That's long-distance teleportation, not something this close."
Xu Xin was still worried and rubbed Coco's exposed ears in his arms: "Is there any danger in there, Coco?"
"Hmm..."
Coco said she didn't feel it.
"Oh, let's go! Don't waste time!"
Xu Ying didn't wait for Xu Xin's consent and took him out of Asanong directly.
Xu Xin's eyes went dark, and when he opened them again, he was already behind the door.
"here… "
"This is..." Xu Ying widened her eyes and looked at what was in front of them.
The space inside the door is not very big, only about one or two hundred square meters, but the height is not low, nearly ten meters.
The material of the entire room is still uncooked scarlet crystal, and the light of the crystal alone makes the room very bright.
In front of them was a...
Huge machinery.
This machine is nearly ten meters tall and looks very familiar.
They had just met before.
"This... Isn't this the machine used to process and preserve scarlet crystals? There is one right here too? And..."
Xu Xin and Xu Ying noticed that next to the machine, there was a long rectangular object more than three meters high covered with a thick black cloth.
This shape... is a bit like a rockery.
The black cloth was very large. After covering the object, which was about the size of a rockery stone, another large piece was spread flat on the ground.
"What's under this black cloth?" Xu Ying pulled Xu Xin's arm, "Shall we open it and take a look?"
"Look at that first." Xu Xin pointed to the corner of the room.
In the corner, on the ground, there is a metal disc protruding outward.
It looks very inconspicuous in front of this huge machine and the mysterious object covered with black cloth.
But it caught Xu Xin's attention.
Because this thing looks very familiar to him.
"Isn't this a teleportation device?" Xu Ying said in surprise, "There is actually a teleportation device here... Well, it makes sense."
The outer door had obviously not been opened for a long time, and there was a gravity trap in front of the inner door.
What should we do if the owner of this room, the leader of the alien invaders, wants to come over
Simple, by teleporting.
So, there will be a teleporter here.
"Well, it's a little different from ordinary teleportation devices." Xu Ying moved a little closer and looked at it. "This teleportation device should only be used by the leader."
Then she smiled and said, "But, right now, the leader should be fighting on the other side of the earth, right?"
There are still four hours left until Ji Chaoyang’s prediction.
They still have time.
In this room, there is nothing else except this huge machine, this mysterious object covered with black cloth, and this teleportation device.
The machine didn't seem to be working.
"Never mind that. I want to see what is under this black cloth..."
She hadn't finished her words when they suddenly stopped.
And Xu Xin directly grabbed her arm, took several steps back, and leaned against the wall of the room.
The two saw that the transmission device suddenly lit up with a purple-black light!
The teleporter has been activated!
“嘤…” Coco curled up in Xu Xin’s arms.
"... Yingying, you seemed to have said that this teleportation device can only be used by the leader, right?"
"Ah... I... I guessed." Xu Ying stared at the transmission device where the purple-black vortex had begun to gather.
If her guess was correct, then the person who was about to be transmitted was...
Before the two of them could think carefully, a purple-black light burst out.
The sudden purple-black light was much more dazzling than the surrounding scarlet light, making it difficult for the two to open their eyes.
Xu Ying only grabbed Xu Xin's wrist. If the situation became critical, she would teleport away directly!
When their vision returned, an alien invader appeared before their eyes.
An alien invader... Mingqian saw an alien invader that was one or two times larger in size than the ones they had seen before!
The body of this alien invader is huge, but not smooth. Instead, it has stripes that protrude like blue veins, which looks very scary.
This guy's eyes were open all over his body, and his pupils were actually scarlet!
At the same time, this alien invader is not naked like other alien invaders.
On its head, it was wearing a scarlet cloak-like thing with various decorations on it, which looked extremely gorgeous.
With just one look, Xu Xin and Xu Ying were sure.
This guy…
He must be the leader of the alien invaders!
Xu Xin broke out in a cold sweat.
What happened?!
This guy is back?!
Their World Tree was conquered? !
That’s not right. There are still four hours left until the time predicted by Ji Chaoyang
Could it be that this guy never left
Xu Xin's eyelids were twitching wildly.
Whatever the case, the situation has become very serious!
