"That means, of the four giant alien invaders' ships, only the last one is left?"
Xu Ying had an expression of complete disbelief and murmured to herself, "Is this true?"
"We're going down there."
Xu Xin looked around.
"Now that the leader of the alien invaders has returned, it will definitely learn what happened in this world tree and will most likely go to check the scarlet crystal."
They have to go back.
At least we should remind the people below.
And here…
The scarlet crystal here also needs to be destroyed.
But not now.
These non-concentrated scarlet crystals have a relatively low hardness and a low melting point. In fact, a single nuclear weapon can almost completely destroy them.
And that concentrated scarlet crystal...
"Put it here for now."
Xu Ying suggested when she saw Xu Xin looking at the crystal covered by the black cloth.
"This crystal is not big. I just saw that it is placed here. We can just put it away."
Can directly put away the crystal...
Xu Xin nodded: "Okay, let's put it here first."
Although it can be put away now, no one can guarantee that the leader will not return to this room.
If they take the scarlet crystal away now, once the leader returns and finds that the scarlet crystal is stolen, the situation will basically be out of control.
They had to be careful before detonating the giant concentrated scarlet crystal.
"After the next task is completed, we will come back here and place a few nuclear warheads before detonating the giant concentrated crystal." Xu Xin said, "Then we can take this concentrated scarlet crystal away."
"I thought so too." Xu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Let's go back first."
"Go out and take a look first. See if there are any giant ships coming back outside."
"good."
…
In the underground space of the World Tree, next to the concentrated scarlet crystal.
The red mist is still lingering.
There was not the slightest sign of fading, not even a tendency to dissipate.
Zhao Xiaochuan and his colleagues have achieved tremendous results.
"It should be almost done, right?" Wen Guixin put a hand on one of the alien invaders, "We have already dug a lot of ballistic holes in it."
“Not enough.”
At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan was working on the tunnel dug by the three alien invaders.
Hearing what Wen Guixin said, he said without turning his head: "The lower and middle parts of the interior of the scarlet crystal cannot be perfectly covered."
"How long will it take?"
Zeng Tao was currently on top of an alien invader.
The alien invader suddenly lost control just now, so she took action.
"An hour, at least an hour."
Zhao Xiaochuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"In fact, even one hour won't be enough to achieve perfection. Two hours is better."
"Um... it's OK." Wen Guixin said.
She removed her hand from the alien invader.
And this alien invader, which had been corroded again, began to work unsteadily again.
"Sister Gui Xin, this one! I can't hold it down! It's so strong and so slippery!"
Zeng Tao held down the alien invader below tightly.
But the strength of this alien invader was beyond her imagination. Although it was not as strong as her, it closed its eyes and was about to slide out from under Zeng Tao.
Wen Guixin stepped directly on the alien invader.
Then, the black slime suddenly shrank and quickly turned into a dry membrane in less than two seconds.
"Ah... Is this one dead too?"
Zeng Tao stood up from the ground and brushed the debris off her knees.
The shrunken and shattered debris of the alien invaders.
She kicked the dried corpse of the alien invader on the ground in annoyance.
In an instant, the corpse was shattered into pieces.
Then, under the illumination of the scarlet crystal, it disappeared completely as if it had been burned.
"This is the second one. We only have the last one left..."
Wen Guixin sighed as she looked at the alien invader she had just saved.
Even this one was clearly not in the right condition.
"If you die, then die."
Zeng Tao picked up the cutter used by the alien invader from the ground.
"As long as the cutter is still usable, it's fine. Then let me use this cutter?"
"Then... go help Lou Fei'er."
"good!"
Zeng Tao took the cutter and drilled out of the hole and out of the scarlet crystal.
After the death of the first alien invader, Lou Fei'er inherited its job.
She is now cutting in another cave.
"This one won't last much longer, right?"
Zhao Xiaochuan rubbed his wrist and said, "I didn't expect that one of them died not long after Brother Xin left, and now another one has died."
"no way."
Wen Guixin sighed.
In fact, if these alien invaders had remained in their previous state, she could actually keep them alive for a long time.
But the uncomfortable thing is that the disposable protective film they were wearing before gradually lost its effect under the strong light of the scarlet crystal in the red mist.
This caused them to be directly exposed to the light of the scarlet crystal.
Or in the light enhanced by the red mist.
Hence, the result is what we have now.
"Why not just kill this one as well?"
Zhao Xiaochuan cut off a piece of scarlet crystal, put it away, then turned and said to her.
"We kept them because we could get them away if the enemy came to investigate. Now two of them are dead, why should we keep this last one?"
Wen Guixin looked at the alien invader that was swaying, squirming and cutting.
“That seems to be true.”
She nodded.
"Now that the main passages have been dug out, the next step is some more delicate work. This guy can't do much in his current state."
She convinced herself, then kicked the alien invader directly.
The alien invader stuck to the wall it was cutting with a "snap".
Then it completely shrivels up within two seconds.
Wen Guixin picked up the cutter on the ground and walked out: "I'll go find Wang Lei to do this job. I have to keep an eye on the surrounding situation."
She crawled out of the secret cave, came to the outside of the scarlet crystal, and called Wang Lei in.
"Oh my god, you've already dug so much out here?"
Wang Lei's exclamation came from the cave.
"Of course. Don't you see who is in charge here?" Zhao Xiaochuan's slightly tired voice was tinged with pride.
Wen Guixin walked to Li Wenxi's side.
"Wen Xi, there are still no changes?"
She asked Li Wenxi, who was sitting outside hugging her legs in a daze.
“Ah… No.”
Li Wenxi shook his head.
She looked at the entrance above. "There has been no metal reaction. The other party probably feels that no living creature can enter the underground space, so they feel more at ease."
"We should give credit to that guy as well." Wen Guixin said with a smile, "If he hadn't led those small machines away, we wouldn't be able to relax like this now."
She was talking about, of course, the monster.
"I don't know what it is doing now."
"Who knows, but it can teleport at will. Although the distance is not far, it is enough to dodge. It will definitely not die."
Wen Guixin still has some confidence in the monster.
"Shouldn't the person we should be most worried about right now be that guy Xu Xin? And Yingying," said Wen Guixin.
"Yeah." Li Wenxi pursed her lips. "Where did these two guys go? It's been almost two hours, right?"
Nothing will happen...
No no no…
Probably not...
With Yingying around, they can escape even if they encounter danger.
Alas, if she had known that this place was so safe, she should have gone there with them.
Sitting here all the time is really torture...
"Ah, those two guys are so willful. Running away at this time is simply... Especially Xu Xin!"
Wen Guixin got angry just thinking about it.
"This is the second time that guy has left the team! I was really upset the first time!"
“Uh…” Li Wenxi smiled a little embarrassedly.
The first time it was mentioned was that Xu Xin refused to follow them into this world tree and insisted on going to another world tree.
Li Wenxi also went along that time.
“That’s not the case. We also found a lot of good things in that World Tree…” Li Wenxi argued in a low voice.
Especially the protective film they are wearing now.
If they hadn't obtained so many layers of protective film from the World Tree, they wouldn't have been able to stay here for so long.
"You can't just run around on a whim!"
Wen Guixin was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Even if you need help, you should at least discuss it in advance! Fortunately, our plan went smoothly."
"No, it's not going so smoothly now."
At this time, Xu Xin's voice came from the red fog.
"Ah!" Li Wenxi stood up immediately, "You're back!"
Xu Xin and Xu Ying walked out of the red fog.
Li Wenxi immediately grabbed Xu Xin's hand and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Don't worry. It's okay." Xu Xin squeezed her hand.
"You guys are finally back." Wen Guixin rolled her eyes. "Two hours and no news."
"Where are they?" Xu Ying looked around.
"Cutting the scarlet crystal. The three alien invaders are all dead."
Li Wenxi explained.
"Those three died? What happened?"
Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.
"Are you in danger? Are you... okay?"
"No." Li Wenxi waved his hand and gave a brief explanation.
"So that's how it is." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's gather those people together for a while. We have something important to discuss." Xu Ying said, "Five minutes will be enough."
"Important things?" Wen Guixin's heart sank. "What did you find?"
Li Wenxi immediately went to look for people and gathered everyone together.
"Brother Xin, come and see our results. We are almost successful!" Zhao Xiaochuan said in the red mist before he came over.
"You're finally back. What did you discover?" Lou Feier immediately came over and asked curiously.
She still had the cutter in her hand.
Jin Yue, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, Wang Lei and others came over.
"I have good news and bad news." Xu Xin said.
"Ah? Then listen to the bad news first!" Zeng Tao said immediately.
"The bad news is that we encountered the leader of the alien invaders, and their fleet has returned." Xu Xin said in a deep voice.
"Don't cut them apart for now." Xu Ying also reminded, "The situation is very dangerous now. It is basically certain that the other party will come down to investigate."
These people were cutting at different positions, and Li Wenxi spent more than a minute calling on them just now.
If this happens, it will be extremely dangerous!
She looked at the holes that had been cut.
The locations of those holes are very hidden, they are all on the edge close to the ground, covered by red fog, and are basically impossible to find.
But if the other party disperses the red fog and then checks again, it can still be detected.
Hope nothing goes wrong.
"ah?"
Everyone was shocked.
"That's not right! It's not yet the time Ji Chaoyang predicted?" Wen Guixin asked hurriedly.
Their mission has not been completed yet!
"So what's the good news?" Li Wenxi asked, looking up.
"The good news is..." Xu Xin touched Coco's little head in his arms, "Three of the four alien invaders' giant ships were destroyed, and only one returned, and it was obviously seriously damaged."
Xu Xin's words stunned everyone present for a few seconds.
"Ah?" Zeng Tao opened her mouth wide.
"What?!" Wang Lei was even more dumbfounded, "This... was done by Brother Chaoyang and the others? Are they so strong?!"
"Impossible?" Qin Fu asked doubtfully, "Do we have such strong capabilities?"
"Yes, that's the main ship of the alien invaders!" Lou Feier opened her eyes wide, "If we can even deal with their fleet, why would we come here to steal their house...wouldn't it be better to confront them head-on?"
Xu Xin shook his head: "No, as far as I know, they are made that way by the turbulence of time."
He briefly recounted their experiences on this trip.
"You actually found another scarlet crystal," Wen Guixin said in surprise, and then waved her fist, "That's great, let's destroy that place as well!"
"Isn't this the focus?" Wang Lei said with a bitter face, "The leader of the alien invaders is back, and that leader doesn't seem to be afraid of the light of the scarlet crystal. What if it comes down?"
"Come down and kill it!"
Wen Guixin clenched her fists: "I've already killed several of them, why should I be afraid of it?"
"He is the leader of the alien invaders. How can he be killed so easily..."
Xu Xin also sighed and said: "Anyway, now..."
"Wait a moment… !"
Suddenly, Li Wenxi whispered to stop Xu Xin from speaking.
"There are machines coming in from the entrance above!"
Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
It came so quickly!
"You're here to check, right? Those holes..."
Wen Guixin whispered.
"Let's hide in a cave first." Xu Ying suggested in a low voice.
"Come with me."
Jin Yue took the lead and walked ahead.
Then everyone went into the nearest cave together.
"I have to say, this cave entrance is indeed very secretive."
Xu Ying whispered.
The entrance to the hole is very small, you can only crawl in, and it is close to the ground, so you can't see it unless you lower your head.
"Wen Xi, what's the current situation..." Xu Xin asked.
"Hmm... A lot of small machines have come in! However, they don't seem to be the small jellyfish like before, but..."
Li Wenxi looked up.
"It's a machine with a weapon that looks like a gun. But it's about the same size as the small jellyfish."
"Huh... the leader is coming in too!" Xu Ying whispered.
Everyone's heart suddenly trembled.
"Shut up." Xu Xin immediately whispered.
He and Xu Ying's experience in that room was still vivid in his mind.
That guy was able to sense where the sound was coming from.
If they spoke now, it would be possible that the leader would find the secret cave through the sound.
That guy's tentacles are so flexible, it's much easier to grope around.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
And outside, the voice of the leader of the alien invaders was heard.
“——! —!”
“——,——!
!”
The voice was hoarse, like a scream.
There is a feeling of being exasperated and frustrated.
Everyone present heard it.
Others didn't understand, but Xu Xin did.
"What's going on! Why was this place invaded after I was out for such a short time?"
"That traitor is back! He actually took advantage of this opportunity to come back! I'm so pissed, I want to kill him!
!
"My crystal, I guess it didn't get it...?"
Xu Xin knew that the traitor it was talking about should be the monster that helped them absorb most of their energy.
I don’t know where it is now.
Outside the scarlet crystal, the red mist did not dissipate.
The leader of the alien invaders did not let the red mist dissipate.
Perhaps in its opinion, it is safer here with the red fog.
Xu Xin discovered that Li Wenxi suddenly held his hand tightly.
He noticed Li Wenxi's nervousness.
He looked at her and his heart sank.
Li Wenxi showed a somewhat frightened expression.
Because she discovered that those small mechanical flying objects had surrounded the scarlet crystal!
Each small flying object was only one or two meters away from the scarlet crystal.
They seemed to be scanning the scarlet crystal. They were checking to see if there was anything abnormal with the scarlet crystal.
But how could there be no abnormalities with the scarlet crystal!
There are several holes on this scarlet crystal!
If this is discovered...
Li Wenxi looked very anxious, but she didn't dare to speak for fear of being exposed, so she could only hold Xu Xin's hand tightly.
“——,——. (Check carefully to make sure you don’t miss any spot.)”
"——. (That traitor is very cunning.)"
Xu Xin immediately knew why Li Wenxi was like this.
His eyelids twitched.
You know, although the hole they are in now is not easy to be found, but...
Above the scarlet crystal, there is a passage cut by Zhao Xiaochuan that goes straight into the innermost part of the scarlet crystal!
Although he turned a corner when cutting and concealed it a little, it was not obvious at a glance.
But if it is a mechanical scan...
Almost impossible to miss!
what to do…
What will the other party do if they are discovered
Damn…
The leader returned several hours early, which really disrupted their plans!
“——,———?——. (Old man, you are finally back. Why are you so slow in defeating the humans on Earth? I have been waiting for you for a long time.)”
At this moment, another hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded.
When Wen Guixin heard the voice, her eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed outside and made a gesture to everyone.
This is not the voice of the leader of the alien invaders, but...
The voice of that monster.
“It’s here to help us again!”
Wen Guixin mouthed to others.
“——,!—!
(You traitor, you dare to come in! Come on! Kill it!
)”
Outside, the leader's extremely angry voice was heard.
"Hey, how come your ship is in such a mess? It's full of holes. It's just right. I can go and find some good stuff in the ship."
“—!
! (Stop right there!
Chase them all! )"
It became extremely noisy outside.
A few minutes passed.
"Gone." Xu Ying whispered, "The leader should have left."
“Those machines have also left.” Li Wenxi also said.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is all thanks to that guy!" Wen Guixin said.
"That guy... led the leader away." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
They... went to the only giant ship that returned
He looked at Xu Ying, and Xu Ying was also looking at him at this time.
"Brother, I..." Xu Ying hesitated to speak.
It was obvious that she wanted to take a look inside the giant ship.
There is a high possibility that what she needs is in the huge ship.
Xu Xin nodded to her, then looked at the others and said, "Let's put our nuclear weapons in the completed positions first, and then continue to complete other positions. This way, if there are problems again, we can directly detonate them. Even if we can't complete it 100%, it will still be effective."
After all, there is only so much nuclear weapons can do.
The final finishing work requires more powerful weapons.
It’s in Xu Xin’s bracelet.
At the same time, there are also in that giant ship.
Moreover, there might be other good things in the giant ship, which is definitely worth seeing.
With Xu Ying around, they can return at any time and don't have to worry too much.
At this time, Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's hand and looked at him.
She had already noticed that Xu Xin was about to go out again.
"I have to go with you this time!"
