The two sides exchanged information.
Their world tree had indeed fallen, and was almost flattened.
There is simply no way to stop those tank-like ground combat vehicles.
Even under the baptism of nuclear bombs, the tanks remained unscathed and were able to advance steadily towards the direction of the World Tree.
However, their only drawback is that they lack power.
The speed is really too slow.
A speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour is about the same as that of a small electric car.
Coupled with Ji Chaoyang and his men's crazy bombing, the originally relatively flat jungle became bumpy and uneven, which further limited the speed of these tanks.
As a result, the task of those who controlled the weapons in the World Tree changed from bombing the tanks to bombing the ground that the tanks were about to pass.
"Using nuclear weapons to bomb just to change the terrain, you are really... smart!" Zeng Tao clapped her hands, raised her head and smiled, "Did you use my technology?"
"Well, for longer distances, we use the large nuclear weapons you developed," Ma Hongwei explained, "and for ranges within fifty kilometers, we use small nuclear weapons."
This scene lasted for four or five hours.
Because even their most powerful weapon, nuclear weapons, could not cause any damage to the tank, Ji Chaoyang and his team started to transfer the people in the World Tree early on.
Although the chariot is slow, it will eventually be pushed here.
Rather than waiting until it’s pushed in front of them and then panicking, it’s better to take action first.
Therefore, they first transferred most of the tens of thousands of people to this world tree on the sea.
In the World Tree, only a group of people who control weapons are left.
And when the chariots got within a dozen kilometers of the World Tree, they stopped attacking.
Because, at such a close distance, if nuclear bombs continue to be used, even small nuclear bombs, it will have an impact on the World Tree!
Although they have released countless nuclear bombs that have made the area around the World Tree defensive and the entire sky gray and covered with a thick layer of gray fog, at least the edge of the World Tree will not be affected by radiation.
But if nuclear weapons are used at close range, it will have an impact.
"So, you gave up the World Tree at that time and retreated to this island?" Wen Guixin said, "It was a wise choice... But in that case, you didn't see the World Tree being destroyed."
"Of course not." Qi Xuefei shook her head gently, "Don't forget, we still have the last line of defense around the World Tree, and..."
There is also a giant insect that comes to help them for unknown reasons.
The giant insect had already started production when the chariot appeared.
The reproductive ability of the Worm Queen is truly amazing to everyone in the World Tree.
Every minute and every second, countless insects of various shapes crawl out from under the insect queen's body.
When those bugs crawled out, their bodies were still covered with mucus, and they looked like newly born "little bugs".
The so-called "little bugs" are compared with the mother bugs that are as big as a mountain range.
In fact, each of them is as huge as a ground beast.
Some are even bigger, with some being three or four meters tall.
These bugs are very...disciplined when they are born.
The swarms of insects grew larger and larger, but they showed no tendency to spread outward and attack. Instead, they all gathered around the queen insect.
The number kept increasing, until finally there were countless densely packed giant insects.
However, the body of the insect queen is gradually shriveling as it reproduces.
That's right, it's shriveled.
Every part of its body seemed to be hollowed out from the inside, and slowly deflated.
Finally, most of the body was completely hollowed out and turned into a insect skin membrane, collapsing on the ground.
Although it is an insect membrane, it is also the insect membrane of this giant insect, so the thickness of this "membrane" is actually two or three meters.
This scene shocked everyone in the World Tree at that time.
They thought that the huge insect queen who protected them was dead.
"I heard that most insects die after reproducing. Is this giant insect also..."
"No way? It's so big and so strong..."
This was basically what everyone in the World Tree was thinking at the time.
However, the final fact surprised them even more.
Because the giant insect's body shrank, not because it was dead, but because it was...
molt.
When the entire giant worm stopped reproducing, a much smaller, elongated giant worm crawled out from the insect skin that had already shriveled up for the most part.
At this moment, its overall appearance was very similar to before, but it had shrunk into a worm that was several hundred meters long.
Although its body length of several hundred meters is still ridiculously long, you have to know that it can completely surround Crystal City before it breeds small insects!
Its body length at that time was at least more than 20 kilometers, more than 20,000 meters!
But after breeding and molting, only a few hundred meters remain.
Its thickness also shrank by half, leaving it only about thirty meters high.
Of course, even after being shrunk, the giant insect was still the second largest beast they had ever seen.
The first huge beast is the one before it was shrunk.
"Perhaps, that is its normal size." Xu Xin suddenly said, "We have seen this insect queen in the underground world."
At that time, the soft giant beast suppressed by the underground prison was this giant insect.
Although it was large enough to fill up the underground pit at that time, it was definitely not large enough to surround the Crystal City with its own body.
"Well, the huge form is the breeding form of the insect queen." Xu Ying said.
She was somewhat familiar with this insect queen.
After all, this was a behemoth created by them in another time and space, and she was one of the participants.
"The gene pool of the insect queen is very complex. It can breed a wide variety of giant insects. However, because its genes are too messy, although it can reproduce, its offspring are incapable of reproduction."
"This is what we need and what we created. Our intention in creating the Worm Queen was to create a giant, automated biological war machine that can quickly give birth to a large number of powerful offspring, but its offspring can only be used as weapons, otherwise..."
Everyone understands what Xu Ying means.
The insect queen reproduces so quickly, and her offspring seem to be considered adults when they are born.
If its offspring can continue to reproduce, it will no longer be a war machine but a disaster-making machine.
The reproduction speed of insects is extremely terrifying!
If there is no restriction, there will only be a continuous and indelible insect plague.
"Every time it reproduces on a large scale, its body will expand to a very large size. After the reproduction is over, the insect body, which has been expanded dozens of times, is difficult to recover, so it will abandon its original body and shed its skin."
Xu Ying continued to explain.
"It doesn't normally shed its skin. It only does so when a large number of offspring are born. I didn't expect you to see it."
"So that's how it is."
Ji Chaoyang nodded, and then continued to tell what happened at the World Tree.
When the giant worm stopped breeding and crawled out of its abandoned body, the alien invaders' chariot was only twenty kilometers away from the World Tree.
Ji Chaoyang also ordered to stop the nuclear weapons attack.
And just after the World Tree stopped attacking, the Zerg suddenly began to move!
The densely packed giant insects suddenly began to surge!
They collectively launched a charge towards the group of tanks!
These newly born Zerg swarms obviously received orders from the Zerg Queen. Under the instructions of their "mother", they collectively rushed towards the tanks that could not be destroyed even by nuclear bombs!
At that time, everyone in the World Tree was watching this scene nervously.
In fact, they had already anticipated it.
Since the insect queen has given birth to such a large army of insects, she will naturally take action at some point!
What surprised them was that the Zerg Queen itself also moved along with the actions of the Zerg army.
However, its speed was not fast. Instead, it looked very leisurely, just like when it surrounded the Crystal City before.
Just like strolling in a garden.
The swarms of insects around it swarmed past it in batches, much faster than its speed.
And its target was quickly determined by everyone in the World Tree.
Obviously, the direction it is moving towards is the location of the lake!
And at some point, an anaconda head emerged from the lake.
The rock-like scales still glow with a chilling cold light under the sunlight.
Its dark eyes, like the abyss, were now staring in the direction of the Insect Queen.
Finally, the insect queen came to the edge of the bottomless lake, and then its body, which had shrunk a lot, dived into the lake.
Soon, the body that was several hundred meters long disappeared.
All that was left was a long trace of movement on the ground and a thick, somewhat broken insect skin surrounding the crystal city.
There is also a large Zerg army that is still charging towards the tank corps without stopping.
"Wow... He just left his newborn offspring here to die, and then ran away..."
Zeng Tao said that this insect mother is a bit cruel.
"The offspring it gave birth to are just weapons that only obey orders." Xu Ying shook her head and said, "Even if those insects born from it don't die in battle, they can only live for a few days. There's nothing cruel about it."
"If we really want to talk about cruelty, we are more cruel, because the insect mother was modified by us through genetic modification technology."
Xu Ying pointed at herself and then at everyone around her.
"That's us in another time and space... Well, that's about the same." Zhao Xiaochuan spread his hands.
The giant insects quickly rushed to the front of the chariot.
But they did not attack the chariots. Instead, some of them pounced on the chariots, and some of them stood in front of the chariots.
Each chariot was surrounded by hundreds of giant insects.
Their purpose is not to destroy the tanks, but to slow down their advance!
This should be the order given by the giant insect.
It seems that the giant insect also saw clearly that it was basically impossible to stop these chariots, and it could only delay them for a while.
This command is useful.
Countless insects pounced and pushed, effectively blocking the chariot's advance.
But this situation did not last long.
Because the tank opened fire for the first time.
Accompanied by roars and flames, the broken bodies of the insects flew everywhere, and the sky was filled with transparent, yellow and green insect body fluids.
With the time flow speed increased a hundred times, everyone in the World Tree could be seen very clearly in slow motion.
However, the firepower of the tank left them speechless.
Gives a feeling of…
That’s it
feeling.
This power...
It feels similar to a normal grenade.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"I say... are we so afraid of these things?"
"Isn't this power a little too weak?"
"What does that mean? Defense is maxed out, but attack power is only at the initial value?"
"Pfft... Is this chariot not yet full moon?"
"My goodness, we were actually afraid of this kind of thing just now?"
"What's the use of pushing them over..."
This was the mood of the people at that time.
The tense atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.
However, Ji Chaoyang and his companions did not take it lightly.
Use different weapons to deal with different enemies.
Perhaps the bugs aren't enough to allow these tanks to use more powerful weapons.
Moreover, no matter how powerful the weapons of these chariots are, they are of little use.
A chariot of this size, no matter how powerful the weapons it carries, cannot break through the defenses of the World Tree.
What they should worry about is whether there are some special weapons on these tanks.
Just like what the monster said before, the potion weapon that can be injected into the trunk of the World Tree can cause the World Tree to wither quickly.
These chariots are likely to carry that kind of thing!
Therefore, Ji Chaoyang immediately decided that everyone should evacuate immediately!
Although everyone was a little puzzled, no one refused.
After all, this is the front line of the battle. This last group of people has been here for a long time, and it is time to take a break.
Thus, after a few minutes, only five people were left in the World Tree: Ji Chaoyang, Qi Xuefei, Ma Hongwei, and the brothers Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu.
Shi Wanyun had already gone with the first group of people to her world tree and was responsible for organizing the crowd.
The Zerg army also fought hard, using their lives to drag the tank's journey of less than half an hour into more than an hour.
At the same time, they completely exhausted the weapons of the tanks.
In the final stage, the internal weapons of these tanks had been exhausted, and each tank could only drag a few bugs forward.
Unfortunately, there were only a few bugs left at this time, so it was impossible to stop the chariot's advance directly as it did at the beginning.
However, the chariot was already approaching the outside of the Crystal City.
So, the last line of defense in Crystal City attacked.
A group of giant stone beasts controlled by Chang Yin!
The power of these giant stone beasts is immense!
Moreover, near Crystal City, they have self-healing abilities and have no weaknesses!
Another group of ordinary, non-petrified behemoths were on standby in the Crystal City.
They are not suitable for fighting outside the Crystal City, because only inside the city will they have extremely strong self-healing abilities.
Then, the group of stone beasts collided with the group of chariots!
With its terrifying weight and strength, the giant stone beast actually rushed directly into the group of chariots.
For a moment, the scene even felt like... chaos!
Originally, those giant insects were knocked away and dragged away, but now the petrified monsters rushed in, and even several chariots were knocked away!
But the subsequent scene made Ji Chaoyang and others, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief, fall silent.
For some unknown reason, the petrified beasts that were rampaging through the chariot group suddenly began to crack!
They still either rushed around or slapped around with their claws.
But their bodies began to crack gradually!
Watching at a speed a hundred times slower, the petrified creatures slowly cracked apart, and then in the next collision, they shattered into pieces all over the sky.
For Ji Chaoyang and his companions, this scene lasted for five minutes, but for the outside world, it was only a few seconds.
These giant stone beasts shattered so quickly and without any clear reason!
Sure enough, these chariots have other means of attack!
Fortunately, although the stone creature was broken into pieces, the fragments were large.
Under the shining light of the Crystal City, the fragments that fell to the ground began to tremble and roll.
The shattered stone creatures began to reassemble.
Seeing this scene, Chang Yin immediately understood that although these chariots could shatter the stone creatures, they would most likely not actually kill them.
So he immediately controlled the stone statue army and launched a general attack on these chariots!
The final result was that almost all the stone beasts were turned into fragments on the ground.
The fragments they became were trembling, tumbling, and reorganizing, but the speed of reorganization was very slow.
After all, it has turned into fragments.
And the next second, the chariot had already entered the Crystal City!
The buildings in the Crystal City are all made of white crystal. Chariots cannot destroy them and can only go around them.
Then, the behemoth in Crystal City began to move.
The tragic scene did not occur.
Perhaps the petrified behemoths had exhausted the chariots' second weapon reserves, and the normal behemoths did not suffer the same torn-to pieces situation as the petrified behemoths.
It’s a good thing they didn’t show up. After all, they just have strong recovery abilities. If their bodies are really broken, no matter how strong their recovery abilities are, they will be useless.
This group of giant beasts started a tug-of-war with the alien invaders' tank corps!
They shuttled through the Crystal City, blocking one chariot after another.
As normal behemoths, their strength is naturally not as strong as the petrified behemoths, so they cannot knock the chariots away, but they can still overturn them if they try hard!
But the good times didn’t last long.
After a stalemate of about ten minutes, the first cloud of blood mist appeared.
That’s right, one of the giant beasts suddenly exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist!
Then, bad news came one after another.
Those chariots seem to be using weapons again!
Ji Chaoyang immediately realized that they had not used their weapons for the past ten minutes, not because they had run out of ammunition, but probably because...
Their weapons are overheated and temporarily unusable. They are currently cooling down!
And now, it's ready to use!
Ordinary behemoths can no longer stop the chariot’s advance!
Each of these giant beasts was highly intelligent, and upon seeing this they no longer tried to block the chariots.
They are not afraid of death. If their death can stop these chariots, they will not fear death.
But the current situation is that their death has no meaning.
So the army of giant beasts retreated.
The order was given by Mimi, who was now the leader of the giant beast army.
The people in the World Tree also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, they didn't want these giant beasts to die meaninglessly.
They know how to run just fine.
…
"What happens next is what you think it is."
Ji Chaoyang said.
"The chariot drove to the trunk of the World Tree, and then a spike extended from the front of the chariot and pierced directly into the trunk of the World Tree."
"Then, the entire World Tree began to shake."
"We saw that the crown of the World Tree began to change from green to yellow, and even rained fallen leaves. Then, the ground began to gradually crack."
"After that, a few of us were teleported here through the coordinates. This happened an hour ago."
Ji Chaoyang sat on the rocks by the beach and ended his story in a relaxed tone.
So that's how it is.
Xu Xin and his companions felt a little scared.
Fortunately, there is a way out.
Unexpectedly, even if the giant ship was destroyed, the chariots that crawled out of the giant ship could destroy the World Tree...
"I think those chariots are actually secret weapons prepared by the leader of the alien invaders specifically targeting the World Tree."
Xu Ying suddenly spoke.
Xu Xin also nodded: "I think so too. The defense is very strong, but the means of attack are somewhat limited. However, it can extend thorns from the front of the chariot to pierce the tree trunk and make the world tree wither."
"It's the same as what I thought." Ji Chaoyang said, "Almost all the alien invaders own the World Tree. If their leaders want to truly manage and deter them, they must have the means to destroy the World Tree."
"Those aircraft at the beginning should also be a means, and the fastest means, but they were too weak and were completely intercepted by us."
"And this chariot is slow, but it can basically guarantee success. It should be the last resort."
"Because they are basically useless, they were hidden in the giant ship. However, this time the giant ship was destroyed and we hit it."
Everyone nodded.
That should be it.
"Then it's not unfair that our World Tree was destroyed." Li Wenxi pursed her lips and said, "That was the last resort of the alien invaders. I don't know what's going on over there now. Are those chariots still guarding around the World Tree?"
"That depends on how well you guys complete your mission."
Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Xin with a smile.
Xu Xin also looked at him and said with a smile: "You haven't told us yet what you saw in your prophecy that made you so relaxed now."
"Ah, my prophecy."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, Ji Chaoyang smiled and said, "I see that a city more glorious than ours has been built in our World Tree."
"In my prophecy, we have begun a new life."
He looked at Xu Xin and the others and smiled easily: "Now, can you tell us what you did over there?"
