"Old Yang, thank you for your help." Xu Xin whispered to Old Yang.
Lao Yang just explained to them the situation at the alien invaders' headquarters.
He actually didn't know clearly, but he just knew that the situation there was very chaotic.
It seemed that there was some conflict among the alien invaders, which caused the noise over there to continue last night.
Looking from their side of the World Tree, a very bright light would flash every few dozen seconds.
Besides that, he had no idea what was happening over there, because they really had no way to investigate there at this juncture.
"We were actually able to obtain some intelligence from there. After so many years of hard work, we have hacked into several of their drones and are able to learn some of the situation there, but..."
Old Yang sighed.
"After you came back, the situation over there became very chaotic. The drones we invaded have now been completely destroyed. We now have absolutely no ability to observe that place."
The drone was destroyed...
It seems that the situation over there is indeed very chaotic.
"Thank you. We will go over and take a look now. If there is any situation, we will let you know." Xu Xin said.
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you away quietly."
Old Yang opened the door a crack, looked outside, and then waved to Xu Xin and Xu Ying.
The two followed Lao Yang and walked about a hundred meters to the elevator of the World Tree. They entered the elevator and soon arrived under the World Tree.
"That's all I can do to help you."
Old Yang looked around cautiously and whispered, "The situation over there is unstable, so you guys should be careful too."
Having said that, he hurried back.
Under the World Tree, only Xu Xin and Xu Ying were left.
"Brother, do you remember... the direction of the alien invaders' base?"
Xu Ying looked at the vast sea of sand surrounding the World Tree.
Their teleportation formation was destroyed by Xu Ying's shot before.
Without the purple-black beam of light that reached the sky, they completely lost their target in this desert where there were almost no reference points.
"Don't worry about this. Don't forget my map ability."
Xu Xin nodded his head.
At this moment, the map had already appeared in his mind.
The road they had walked before appeared in his mind at this moment.
The target's location is clearly visible.
"Oh... That's good."
Xu Xin glanced at her and said, "Yingying, have you completely lost your ability to teleport now?"
"Yeah." Xu Ying's eyes darkened and she nodded. "In the past, I could teleport directly as long as I recalled the places I had been to. But now it's completely impossible."
"In other words, even if you want to initiate the teleportation at the risk of being wiped out by the world, you can't do it anymore?"
"Ah... yes!" Xu Ying was a little impatient and glared at him fiercely, "Didn't I tell you this a long time ago!"
"Well, just to confirm it again." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"What's so funny!"
"It's all right."
Xu Xin was afraid that Xu Ying would use teleportation impulsively again, and then she might really die here.
Can't use that just fine.
"However, you can no longer use teleportation, so just stay with me and don't run around anymore. Do you hear me?"
"What's that tone of voice? I'm hundreds of years older than you. I don't need you to educate me!" Xu Ying turned her head away.
"I asked you if you heard me!"
"… I heard it." Xu Ying pursed her lips and said.
Xu Xin nodded, then turned the bracelet and released Zhao Xiaochuan and Yin Wang.
As soon as the Silver King came out, he wanted to howl like a wolf, but Xu Xin covered his mouth with a slap.
“…Huh?”
"We're already here! So fast!"
Zhao Xiaochuan looked up at the World Tree.
"Wait, are we going to cross the desert again..." he lamented quietly.
"Just do it like last time."
Xu Xin patted Yin Wang on the back, and Yin Wang understood and bent down.
The three men jumped onto the wolves.
Zhao Xiaochuan's ability was activated, and in an instant, the presence of the Silver King and the three people on the wolf's back was hidden.
"Let's go!"
…
The Silver King was very fast, and they were also lucky this time.
The last time they crossed the desert, they encountered a very severe sandstorm, which forced them to take a detour.
But this time, there was no sandstorm.
The desert was very peaceful. Although the sea of sand was undulating like a series of low mountains, it could not stop the Silver King.
The Silver King left a trail of wolf paw prints in the sea of sand and moved forward at a very fast speed.
Soon, the three of them saw the three world trees again.
…
etc…
"Over there..." Zhao Xiaochuan asked in surprise, "Is there a missing World Tree over there?"
"It seems... it seems to be true?"
Xu Ying asked uncertainly: "There were three trees before, right? Why are there only two now? Is it the angle?"
"There are indeed only two left." Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked ahead, "One of the world trees was destroyed?"
The original base of the alien invaders consisted of three world trees surrounding a purple-black light column that reached the sky.
But now, the purple-black light column is gone.
Of the three world trees, only two are left.
"No, no, no!" Xu Ying was behind Xu Xin at this time. She grabbed Xu Xin's shoulders and stood up on the wolf's back.
"Be careful!" Xu Xin scolded.
"The third world tree is still there! But, is it still a sapling?"
Standing high and seeing far, Xu Ying has already seen the location of the third world tree.
Xu Xin reached out and pulled her down, letting her sit back on the wolf's back.
"The World Tree has turned into a sapling. So... their World Tree has also withered once..."
Unexpectedly, the World Tree, the lair of the alien invaders, was also destroyed once!
"Hiss—it seems like the situation here is really chaotic!" Zhao Xiaochuan sighed, "Yingying can't teleport now, right? We must be very careful in this operation!"
Xu Ying's problem had already been told to others during the three months they had lived in the World Tree.
After all, whether she can teleport is a factor that greatly affects the plan. Even if she doesn't want to tell others, others have the right to know.
Especially Zhao Xiaochuan and others who came with them.
"Indeed, this time, remember, you must not act as casually as last time."
Xu Xin gave Xu Ying another instruction.
"Oh, I get it!" Xu Ying punched him hard from behind, "You've said it more than ten times!"
"I'm not... huh?"
Xu Xin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The silver wolf, which was running at high speed, also slowed down.
They were less than one kilometer away from the large metal factory.
But when you look closer, you realize that this is not a metal factory at all.
It's just a pile of metal ruins!
Those factories that had remained intact despite the internal explosion were now in ruins.
In the desert, there are a lot of broken metal walls, which look extremely miserable.
Moreover, it seems that this place experienced a sandstorm after being destroyed.
This resulted in part of the factory's ruins being buried under the fools.
It was a truly bleak scene.
"Well, the radiation here is a bit serious!"
Xu Ying took out a pot of radioactive grass and held it in her arms.
The flowerpot is very small, only the size of a fist, and is a pocket flowerpot that can be placed on a table for viewing.
However, the radiation grass is very dense and grows quite tall, as long as a palm.
As soon as the pot of radioactive grass was taken out, the three of them immediately felt less uncomfortable.
"Wow, this little grass really works!" Zhao Xiaochuan expressed surprise, "I thought it was nonsense, there really is grass that can absorb radiation!"
"Of course it's useful." Xu Ying fiddled with the colorful grass. "With this, as long as the environment is not extremely harsh, we don't need to wear radiation protection clothes."
The protective effect of anti-radiation clothing is still very strong.
However, the fully enclosed large suit makes movement inconvenient and the vision is obstructed after wearing it.
Moreover, after putting it on, the invisible cloak can no longer be put on. If one wants to continue hiding, he can only rely on Zhao Xiaochuan's ability.
So, under normal circumstances, they don't wear those bulky anti-radiation suits.
"But it's really quiet here..." Xu Ying looked around, "There's nothing here, just a pile of metal ruins..."
“Is this area really just a ruin?”
Xu Xin asked Yin Wang to approach the ruins of a factory.
A small part of the factory is buried in the sea of sand, but most of it is still exposed, making it easy to observe.
But he still couldn't figure out the reason.
He thought about it, turned over and got off the wolf, then turned the bracelet and released Li Wenxi.
"Bing!"
Li Wenxi had just come out and hadn't reacted yet, but Coco, who was in her arms, took action before her and jumped directly onto Xu Xin's shoulders.
Xu Xin touched the little guy's head.
“Are those factories here?”
Li Wenxi also opened his eyes wide in surprise: "How did it become like this? Could it be that monster who did it?"
It's possible that it did this.
"Wen Xi, is there anything worth noting around here?" Xu Xin asked.
“Something worth noting…? Ah!”
Li Wenxi looked around and his eyes fell on the sea of sand.
"Over there..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked immediately.
"There are actually... mines in the sea of sand? Are they mines?"
Li Wenxi was surprised.
… land mines
Burying mines in a sea of sand
"Is this true? No way, if a sandstorm comes, won't it blow away the mines and bury us alive?" Xu Ying also rolled off the Silver King's back and wondered.
"But there is something underneath the ground... And it's buried very deep, at least four or five meters!"
"Buried four or five meters deep? What kind of landmine is that?" Zhao Xiaochuan said something was wrong. "Shouldn't the earth be right at the surface?"
"But I feel like they are landmines." Li Wenxi looked around and pointed ahead and said, "There are a lot of them ahead. Do you want to test them?"
"Test? It's better to just go around it." Xu Xin shook his head.
"No, didn't we come here just to see the situation here?" Xu Ying said, "I think it's better to confirm it."
"I think so." Li Wenxi nodded. "There are large areas of these things buried ahead. It's very troublesome to go around them. If they are not mines, there is no need to go around them."
"Are you sure..."
Xu Xin touched his chin.
"Oh well."
Then, he turned the bracelet and released Zeng Tao and Lou Feier.
Instantly a shadow enveloped several people.
"Fuck!" Zhao Xiaochuan cursed and was stunned.
Zeng Tao came out carrying an extremely large heavy artillery that was four or five times larger than her body.
As soon as they came out, the pressure from the heavy artillery made the people around them feel a little breathless.
"Wherever the enemy is, I will attack?!"
She carried the huge cannon and looked around nervously.
"There are no enemies, don't get excited." Lou Feier patted her head.
"Ah, no... Don't pat my head!"
"Alright, you two."
Xu Xin stopped the two of them.
"It's very dangerous here, be careful! We don't have the ability to teleport away at any time now!"
"oh… "
"sorry… "
Lou Fei'er and Zeng Tao both lowered their heads.
However, Zeng Tao still carried the huge cannon in her hand on her shoulder.
As she lowered her head, the cannon fell over and almost hit Xu Xin on the head.
"Be careful!"
“Ohhh…”
The reason why Xu Xin released the two people was very simple.
He just wanted Zeng Tao to throw a big rock over.
Whether it is a landmine or not should be determined the moment the big rock is thrown over.
"How far can you throw this stone?"
Xu Xin asked as she watched Zeng Tao easily tossing a stone that was several times bigger than her head.
"I'm not sure, but hundreds of meters shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zeng Tao said, tilting her head.
"Hundreds of meters... Then just throw it."
"Over there." Li Wenxi pointed to Zeng Tao, "There are a lot of mines underground next to the broken wall. Just throw them over there."
"Okay!"
Zeng Tao was like a shot putter. After spinning his short arms twice, the big stone in his hand flew out with a whoosh!
It’s more than just hundreds of meters.
This huge rock flew nearly two hundred meters!
"Ah, I threw it!"
"It's okay, there are many over there..."
"boom!
”
“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
!”
The big rock fell to the ground, causing an explosion instantly!
The entire stretch of sand was like a water surface where a huge rock had smashed into it, instantly creating huge waves of sand!
The range was not large, only a few meters, but the height of the explosion was really high. The sand and stones were directly blown to a height of 20 to 30 meters!
Afterwards, because there were so many "mines" in that area, other "mines" were detonated one by one!
Suddenly, a sky full of yellow sand was stirred up.
Like a violent sandstorm!
The surroundings immediately became chaotic, and the rising sandstorm blocked their vision.
However, the sandstorm only lasted for a dozen seconds before it calmed down.
Only the people holding weapons were left, looking around nervously.
Such a loud explosion is likely to attract the attention of alien invaders!
However, it turned out that they were overthinking.
Several people waited cautiously on the spot for a long time, but there was no other reaction.
The raised dust also slowly drifted down in this windless environment.
The surroundings returned to their original tranquility and desolation.
"This... is really a landmine!"
Zeng Tao couldn't believe that the stone he had just thrown actually triggered a chain explosion!
"Fortunately... Fortunately, Wen Xi came out to take a look." Xu Xin was also grateful at this moment.
If she hadn't come out to observe, they would have just rode on the Silver King and stepped on it...
The consequences are simply disastrous!
The horizontal range of the explosion of the "land mine" was not large, but the vertical power was extremely great!
It was as if a cannonball was fired directly upwards from underground, raising a high fountain of dust!
Although it may not seem to have much destructive power, its power should not be underestimated.
If they step on it, they will probably die!
"Hehe, I'm pretty good at it!" Li Wenxi said with a smug smile, then became slightly worried, "So what should we do next... to avoid these landmines?"
"It's the only way."
"… Well, there are a lot of mines ahead. We have to be careful."
Xu Xin touched the Silver King’s big head and then put it back into the bracelet.
The Silver King is too big and prone to problems.
Next, rely on your legs.
Or fly over by gray...
Forget it, it would be fine if Zhao Xiaochuan could make Huihui lose his sense of existence, but he also said before that Silver King is already his limit.
Riding Huihui over there, he would be a sitting duck in the air.
"Hey, look!"
Xu Ying pointed to the third world tree in the distance: "That world tree has grown a lot!"
Everyone looked over.
When they first saw the World Tree, it looked like a small sapling.
The height is only about one tenth of the other two world trees.
But now, it is even larger than half of the other two world trees!
This grows really fast.
But, it's normal.
After their world tree was destroyed by the chariot, Xu Xin and Xu Ying went back to investigate only an hour later.
By that time, the World Tree had fully grown.
In other words, their world tree was fully restored within an hour.
"So it seems that the recovery speed of this World Tree is actually about the same as ours?"
Xu Ying looked over there and muttered to herself.
"That means, in fact, this World Tree has only withered for a short time, not even an hour!"
Xu Ying's conclusion surprised everyone else.
If this is true, it means that the chaos here is still in full swing.
Although they have not encountered alien invaders yet, the world tree will definitely not be peaceful.
"Then let's be careful and start moving forward." Xu Xin said.
"I'll go in front!"
Lou Feier took a step forward, then turned back and looked at Li Wenxi pitifully: "Wenxi, you have to hold on to my life!"
"You... okay." Li Wenxi nodded.
Lou Fei'er is indeed most suitable as a forward.
Although her blood veins have been suppressed, her abilities are still there.
In other words, even if she is on the verge of death, she has a chance to recover quickly and revive. This ability of hers is always there.
If it weren't for this ability, she would have been killed by Xu Xin when they first met.
At the same time, she also took Qi Xuefei's pills, the kind that can be taken in advance and automatically recover when injured.
And her reaction and speed are the strongest.
With these three advantages, she is indeed the most suitable as a pathfinder. This is also the reason why Xu Xin brought her with him.
"Let's go."
Lou Feier walked in front, and Li Wenxi and others followed five meters behind her.
Li Wenxi directed her actions from time to time.
Several people moved forward slowly.
"That world tree has fully grown..."
Xu Ying looked towards the World Tree in front of her.
The third world tree is now fully mature.
At this time, only about half an hour had passed since they saw the sapling.
This growth rate is quite fast.
After all, the root system has already matured, and the growth is supplied by the mature root system, so the speed is naturally much faster than the first growth.
"Go right and forward forty-five degrees."
Li Wenxi continued to direct.
Lou Feier immediately turned around and walked forward, but she stopped after taking just two steps.
"Huh?"
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the World Tree, letting out a light exclamation.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xin and others also looked over.
Lou Feier rubbed her eyes and looked over again: "Look, isn't that World Tree... not as green? Are the leaves on the treetop turning yellow?"
Under the gaze of the crowd, another world tree that had always stood tall, now...
It is actually withering and turning yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Hey, that world tree... isn't it!"
Xu Ying widened her eyes and pointed over there.
“Isn’t it the main tree that hides the concentrated scarlet crystal?”
This most important tree in the world is also going to wither? !
Rebels from alien invaders, what is this for
Are they going to tear down all three world trees and rebuild them
