Was it successful
Everyone looked at the scene outside and remained silent.
Everything happened so fast.
Just a few minutes ago, Wen Guixin and the others were still beside the scarlet crystal, complaining about why Xu Xin hadn't arrived yet.
And within these few minutes, they suddenly experienced a battle that could be considered a life-and-death struggle.
And now, the main gun of this huge ship made all this seem extremely sudden.
"This... this shot..."
Zhao Xiaochuan's voice was stammering.
"My God... the power of this cannon... is it much greater than our nuclear bombs?"
Zeng Tao swallowed and murmured softly.
"ah!"
Wen Guixin widened her eyes and looked in the direction of the original purple-black light column.
There is no purple-black light column there.
The extremely thick purple-black beam of light that had originally shot straight into the sky has completely disappeared.
All that was left was a deep, large hole that ran diagonally through the ground!
She turned her head abruptly and looked at Xu Xin and the other two: "Were you also responsible for the vibration just now?!"
"Yes, it was us who did it. All the alien invaders in that city should have been killed."
Xu Xin glanced at Xu Ying, who was still a little weak, and replied.
"etc… "
Lou Fei'er, who was standing by, had already sorted out all the information in her mind and said in disbelief, "That is to say... now, both the alien invaders' soldiers and their leaders... are dead?"
"They have all been... reduced to rubble by the main guns of their giant ships?"
"It's like this... Yingying, what do you want to do?"
Before Li Wenxi finished speaking, he saw Xu Ying stand up with one foot slightly raised.
Her action clearly showed that she wanted to step on the ground with her toes and teleport directly!
She simply grabbed Xu Ying's arm.
"I... will go there and take a look."
Xu Ying's voice was still a little weak, but it could not hide the excitement hidden in her tone at all: "I'll go and see if those scarlet crystal fragments have been completely destroyed."
The main gun of the giant ship, which can penetrate the roots of the World Tree in an instant, should be able to destroy those concentrated scarlet crystal fragments.
But... Xu Ying was still a little worried.
"Don't pull me, I want to go and take a look!"
Xu Ying shook her arms but did not shake off Li Wenxi's hand.
"Are you crazy?"
Before Li Wenxi could speak, Wen Guixin spoke up: "Don't you know what you looked like just now? If you go over there now, do you want to die?"
"I'm fine. The two pills I took just now have already made me recover... cough cough cough..."
Xu Ying coughed a few more times.
Even coughed up blood.
"You call this a complete recovery?" Lou Feier also grabbed her, "Don't think about it, you should take a rest now."
“嘤…” Coco crawled to Xu Ying’s legs and grabbed her legs with her little paws.
"I didn't..."
"Yingying. If something happens to you, we won't be able to go back. Don't do this kind of thing." Xu Xin said.
Naturally, he was very worried about Xu Ying, more than anyone else.
Although she is from another time and space, she is also his biological sister.
He knew his sister's character too well. She was as stubborn as a donkey. No matter what she wanted to do, no matter how dangerous it was, he could not stop her from doing it.
So, he used a statement similar to moral kidnapping.
Sure enough, this statement works.
"I...but..."
Xu Ying looked at the slowly rising mushroom cloud with struggling eyes.
"I'm just going to take a look... Okay, okay, I won't go! You two don't have to drag me along."
Xu Ying said somewhat disappointedly.
Li Wenxi and Lou Feier did not let go, but hugged her arms on the left and right.
Lou Feier snorted and said, "Don't even think about running away. If you think there's no danger, then take the two of us with you. There's no danger anyway."
"you… "
Xu Ying stamped her feet in anger, but she no longer insisted.
"Alright, alright, you guys."
Qin Fu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "These two alien invaders are not even dead yet, and you are already thinking about other things."
"That's right." Zeng Tao sat on the boulder that was pressing down on the alien invader that had injured them, holding her chin and swinging her short legs. "You guys are too relaxed. Aren't you afraid that these two guys will suddenly attack and hurt people again?"
Everyone began to observe the situation of the two alien invaders.
Wen Guixin even started to erode it directly.
She didn't quite believe that the gun Xu Xin had was capable of killing the two alien invaders, so she planned to confirm death with her own hands.
However, Xu Xin was staring at Xu Ying, who was still being held by Li Wenxi and Lou Feier.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Ying's eyes shifted slightly.
"Yingying..."
Xu Xin frowned: "You are not hiding something from me, are you?"
"… ha?"
Xu Ying rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"What do you mean? What can I hide from you?"
Then she raised her eyebrows and said, "Ah... There is something I did hide from you. When I was in high school, didn't you lose your phone? I was annoyed when I saw you playing with your phone in front of me, so I stole it. Although I don't know what your password is, it's nice to see you looking so worried about not being able to find your phone!"
Xu Xin's eyes twitched twice: "Did you do this? I... You can even remember things that happened hundreds of years ago."
For him, this incident happened only a year ago, and he still remembers it clearly. That was his new mobile phone, which was lost within a month of purchase, and he was heartbroken for a long time.
But for Xu Ying, hundreds of years have passed.
"How could I forget? Those were some of the few peaceful times in my life," Xu Ying sighed.
However, Xu Xin frowned and looked at her again, and did not ask any more questions.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
Before, Xu Ying was determined to find the weapons of the alien invaders even if it meant leaving the others with the scarlet crystal.
Because if she used the weapons she brought from another time and space, she would be wiped out by the universe.
Her behavior is absolutely detrimental to the overall situation and can be said to be willful and disregards the overall situation.
But since it was about his sister's life, Xu Xin just accompanied her in her willfulness. Not to mention, she also found a lot of useful things.
Although the result was good, her starting point showed that she actually didn't want to die.
She was trying everything to survive.
But just now, she went to a place with very, very strong radiation, and even insisted on going to a place with even stronger radiation.
The shot fired by the giant ship just now must have been related to the nuclear explosion.
After all, mastering controlled nuclear fusion means mastering the foundation for navigating the universe.
Their weapons will naturally be related to nuclear fusion and fission.
The explosion from the giant ship's main gun just now might have been a super-enhanced and concentrated nuclear bomb!
The radiation left behind by this explosion is probably several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds or thousands of times greater than the nuclear radiation caused by their previous nuclear bombs!
The radiation there just now had already caused her to bleed from all seven orifices. If she were to go there in her current state and endure even stronger radiation, she might really die!
Xu Xin didn't believe that she couldn't think of this.
But she insisted on going.
He totally disregarded his own life and just wanted to check on the scarlet crystal.
If Li Wenxi hadn't caught her in time and told her that she must take Wenxi with her even if she teleported, she would have probably teleported away just now.
Just like she had just gone to check whether the leader was in the underground space.
She is obviously a person who cherishes her life, but she did such a thing.
… Why
"… The current situation is that even if the Scarlet Crystal is not completely destroyed, even if the leader of the alien invaders is not dead, our operation this time is already perfect."
Xu Xin suddenly spoke.
"Three of the alien giant ships were destroyed, and in the power system of the giant ship we are on, Yingying, Wenxi and I left a lot of nuclear weapons. After the detonation, even if this giant ship is not completely scrapped, it will have to be repaired for a while."
His words made everyone else's eyes light up.
"What? Brother Xin, are you guys still investigating the power system of this giant ship?"
Wang Lei, who was tentatively stepping on the exposed part of the alien invader's body, suddenly exerted force and flattened several of the alien invader's almost recovered eyeballs.
"Oh shit, power system? The engine of a spacecraft? What's the power system of this giant ship like? I suddenly feel interested..." Zhao Xiaochuan whispered.
Wen Guixin was overjoyed: "You mean, their four giant ships are all destroyed?"
"Yes, and the army controlled by the alien invader leader has been blown to pieces by our artillery fire."
Xu Xin pointed his finger toward the vicinity of the original teleportation formation.
"So, even if we leave now, even if there are still a lot of concentrated scarlet crystals left and not completely destroyed, the alien invaders will definitely be in chaos inside."
"Without the giant ship and the army, the alien invader leader may not be able to protect the scarlet crystal that he has monopolized for a thousand years."
Xu Xin's words made the eyes of the people around him brighter and brighter.
"That means... we have succeeded?"
Zeng Tao jumped down from the boulder.
"Can we actually go back now?"
She trotted to Xu Xin's side, raised her little head and looked at him expectantly.
She looked eager to go back.
Who among those present is not like that
They are people who have lived comfortably in the World Tree for several months.
If one could go back to a comfortable life, who would be willing to stay here
"Well, I think since we are here, we should do everything we can before going back."
Xu Ying held the opposite opinion.
"I think we can wait here and see how these alien invaders react."
Xu Xin looked at her and his brows furrowed even more.
She doesn't want to go back
If she goes back now, she naturally won't use the weapons she brought from another time and space.
Isn't this what she wants
"Well... you see, we now have weapons that can kill alien invaders."
Xu Ying took out a weapon and said, "There are a lot of them, hundreds of guns, and hundreds of weapons similar to grenades. There is plenty for everyone. So what are we afraid of? Why don't we stay a little longer and kill as many as we can!"
"Yingying, you..."
"By the way, that monster has helped us a lot! We haven't found it yet, so we have to take it back with us!" Xu Ying continued.
"Um… "
Everyone looked at each other.
Although they didn't know why Xu Ying wanted to stay so much, they did.
They have to take that monster back.
If it weren't for it, their operation wouldn't have been so smooth this time.
But what about the other person
Never appeared...
"It should have been inside this giant ship before." Li Wenxi said, "But now we don't know where it went."
"Why don't you wait a moment? Brother, come with me!"
Xu Ying grabbed Xu Xin and teleported him without waiting for Xu Xin's consent.
The two of them teleported directly to the small room at the end of the power system.
Following her were Li Wenxi and Lou Feier, who had been holding her arms.
"Oh my god, where is this...!"
Lou Feier looked at the sea of machines outside the house and exclaimed: "So many machines... Is this the power system of the giant ship?"
"Indeed... But, Yingying, why did you bring us here?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise, "Is there anything that cannot be said in person?"
Xu Xin's bad premonition became even stronger.
At this time, Xu Ying grabbed the two women who had let go of her arms out of surprise and teleported them again.
Two seconds later, she was the only one back.
"... Yingying, who are you..."
"Brother." Xu Ying said, staring at Xu Xin, "It's better to finish everything here before we go back."
Xu Xin was silent for two seconds, then said, "Your body's... time and space disorder has worsened?"
Since they have been here, even if they go back, if they want to come back anytime, they can use Xu Ying's teleportation ability to come back directly.
Judging from the current situation, it would be better for them to go back directly, because a battle between alien invaders might break out here soon.
Because of their Cloaks, they had hardly ever had a direct confrontation with the well-equipped alien invaders.
Just now, Xu Xin's heart was pierced after just one attempt. Of course, the two alien invaders were following the leader, so it was normal for them to be strong.
But even if they were holding weapons that could kill them and gave them a surprise sneak attack, everyone was still injured, and some were almost fatal.
Without Qi Xuefei's medicine, they might not have survived at all.
If a battle breaks out between alien invaders, it will surely be extremely chaotic.
They'd better not get involved in this mess.
Moreover, there should still be a great war going on next to the World Tree over there.
Therefore, they would teleport back first to resolve the issue over there, and then everyone would recuperate and recover their combat power in the world tree where the flow rate was a hundred times faster.
After a few months, they had almost recovered from their rest, and only one day had passed outside the World Tree. They returned then to check on the situation here.
This is the best choice for them now.
But looking at Xu Ying's expression, he couldn't say that.
Because he knew that since Xu Ying had made this request, it meant that...
If they go back, maybe... Xu Ying won't be able to bring them back.
Xu Ying's increasingly confused abilities no longer allow this.
That's why she wants to solve all the problems now.
“… No… Okay, I admit that my current abilities are already very unstable.”
Xu Ying sighed.
"Although I can still take everyone back, there is a high probability that we will not be able to come back after we go back. Moreover, entering and exiting that world tree will only make my chaos worse."
The speed of time flowing inside and outside the World Tree is different. Every time Xu Ying enters and exits the World Tree, the time and space disorder phenomenon on her body will be aggravated.
Xu Xin already knew this.
"So, my idea is to at least get everything sorted out. Then, after I go back, I'll enter the World Tree and never come out again."
Xu Ying said seriously.
"That way, I might be able to live a little longer in the World Tree."
Xu Xin was silent.
wrong.
Xu Ying's words already gave him the feeling that she wanted to live very much.
He even didn't hesitate to let others stay here and face the impending danger.
"... Actually, it doesn't matter even if we never come back." Xu Xin said softly.
"It's already chaotic enough here. And the alien invaders have no giant ships or troops."
"Even if there are still some scarlet crystals left, I don't think the number is enough to satisfy all the alien invaders. Their interior will definitely become very chaotic. They will not pose a big threat to our World Tree."
"Not to mention, if the scarlet crystals are destroyed, they will be doomed and can only flee in panic..."
Xu Xin suddenly thought of something.
The giant teleportation array light column was blown up by the main gun of their giant ship.
The alien invaders' giant ships will also be destroyed by them.
It seems like they can't go back
Well... this is better.
Just kill them all.
Not bad.
"In short, the current situation is very advantageous for us. We don't have to worry..."
"That's true... but... I think it's better to be more cautious." Xu Ying hesitated.
"Yingying, tell me, why are you so determined to find the weapons of the alien invaders?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.
Xu Ying's current performance shows that she is not afraid of death at all.
Since she was not afraid of death, if she wanted to be safe, she shouldn't have taken Xu Xin around in the first place.
"I..." Xu Ying hesitated, "I just don't want to die..."
Xu Xin looked at her.
Xu Ying felt a little scared when she was looked at.
"Okay, okay, now that I've found it and solved it, I'll tell you the truth!"
Xu Ying said desperately: "In fact, the weapons I brought from another time and space may not be able to deal with those scarlet crystal fragments! Are you satisfied?"
"… I knew it." Xu Xin sighed.
That's what he just guessed.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Xu Xin said.
"Oh, I'm not sure!"
Xu Ying gritted her teeth.
"After we arrived, we discovered that the concentrated scarlet crystal could not be destroyed by a nuclear bomb. Also, at first I was quite confident in my weapon, but later, during the cutting process, I discovered that my weapon could not seem to be completely guaranteed..."
"Didn't you say that it would create a space rift?"
"Yes, but it's very small. I just took a look. Such large pieces don't seem to be very useful..." Xu Ying whispered, "Fortunately, we found the main gun of the giant ship..."
"So, why don't you just tell the truth?"
"I've already said it, I don't know if it will work! I just feel that I can't guarantee it!" Xu Ying glared at him, "Maybe it will work!"
"Why don't you just tell me this? You said you couldn't guarantee it, and the facts proved that it couldn't be guaranteed!"
"You! I've already told you that my weapon is a backup option, and I'll use it when there's no other choice! Besides, if I say I can't guarantee it, will you still use it then?"
Xu Xin was silent.
really.
If Xu Ying told her that her weapon could not guarantee the destruction of the concentrated scarlet crystal, then even if they did not find a weapon as powerful as the giant ship's main gun, he would probably not choose to use the weapon, but to find another way.
Because, if it really doesn't work, then wouldn't Xu Ying have disturbed time and space in vain and sacrificed herself in vain
That definitely won’t work.
If it were someone else, he might give it a try, but not Xu Ying.
Xu Ying is his biological sister, even if she is from another time and space.
"That's why I hid it." Xu Ying pursed her lips.
"... and then what?" Xu Xin said.
"? What then?"
"Then, why do you have to solve everything here before going back?" Xu Xin asked.
"… Isn't it a one-time solution? Once and for all, we have to worry all day about whether alien invaders will come to invade us. How annoying!"
"to be honest."
Xu Xin didn't believe this.
What the hell is a one-time solution
With their current strength, achieving this point has already exceeded everyone's expectations.
If we continue like this, it can only be called greed.
The right choice is to quit while you are ahead.
Moreover, they now have weapons that can fight against the alien invaders, and the alien invaders have lost their greatest reliance. Now with the help of the World Tree for defense, they are no longer afraid.
It is impossible for Xu Ying not to understand all this.
"… Because I won't live long, and I want to fulfill our wish before I'm erased."
Xu Ying's expression suddenly calmed down, she looked at Xu Xin and said softly.
"My brother has allowed me to live alone until now. The wishes of everyone in our time and space are now all placed on me."
"I want to witness for them... the salvation of mankind."
These words made Xu Xin slowly clench his fists.
"You won't live much longer... huh?" he whispered.
"Yeah. Not much longer."
"Even in our world tree, it's not possible."
Is it not possible to stretch the time a hundred times
"I'm afraid that the moment I enter the World Tree, I will be... erased." Xu Ying's eyes dimmed and she said, "I'm afraid my body can no longer support me entering the World Tree."
"…What if we don't enter the World Tree?"
“… I don’t know. Maybe with luck I can last a little longer.”
"A little longer... How long?"
"Um... ten days?"
Xu Xin was silent again.
She looked at Xu Xin, her tone pleading: "So, brother, just treat me as selfish for once, don't go back now, help me... help us, fulfill this wish."
