Chapter 533: The new beast wave is coming! (4700 words)
After Xu Xin led the people away, the lakeside was quiet, leaving only an open space that was cracked in all directions under the scorching heat and had not yet recovered.
About ten minutes later, the lake suddenly rippled.
The fish that reappeared in the lake at some unknown time began to scatter crazily on the lake, and collectively dispersed to the edge of the entire lake, motionless, as if they were afraid of something.
The ripples on the lake oscillated even more, spreading from the center of the lake to all directions, and then...
In the center of the lake, at the center of the ripples, half a huge head lifted up from the water silently.
The rock-like scales reflect dazzling light in the sun, but the huge black eyes are extremely deep, like an abyss, capable of absorbing all light in the world.
And the direction that these dark eyes were facing was the Crystal City that was less than a kilometer away and was emitting white light all around.
In the lake, all other creatures were hiding shivering at the edge of the lake, waiting for it to leave.
The head of the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake finally came out of the water. The scarlet letter spat out from its closed mouth, shaking, then swung its huge body and began to swim towards the lake.
In the direction it was heading, other fishes once again got into a mess and spread out crazily to clear the way for it.
But just as it was about to land, it suddenly stopped.
"Hiss——"
Its huge anaconda body slowly turned around, its dark eyes staring at the bottomless lake.
In the end, it did not choose to leave the lake.
It just turned its huge head, glanced at Crystal City again, then turned around and plunged into the water. Half of its extremely thick body was exposed on the water and turned rapidly. Finally, its tail was submerged in the water and disappeared.
From the time the giant anaconda emerged from the center of the lake to when it re-entered the lake, everything was going on very calmly, even the sound of water splashing was very small.
This big guy seemed to have deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting the surrounding people to notice his appearance and departure.
About two minutes later, the trembling fish by the lake became active again and swam back into the lake.
The lake has once again returned to its previous calmness.
Everything is as if nothing happened.
……
As for Xu Xin, the transplantation work went very smoothly.
Although the so-called [World Tree Siege] has begun, during this period, no powerful enemy as they imagined came to attack, and they also safely planted everyone's tree houses in this crystal city .
There are more than a hundred people in total and more than a hundred green banyan trees, adding a little more greenery to the Crystal City, which is all bright white and a bit monotonous after seeing too much.
Everyone at Explorers has already chosen suitable locations for these treehouses.
Because these survivors already have their own responsibilities, naturally they cannot be allowed to plant as they please.
The survivors who had previously lived under the same explorer member's treehouse became more familiar with each other, and were naturally happy to choose to live in the same area, still responsible for their previous responsibilities.
But at this time, this group of people had already finished transplanting their tree houses, and then they all got together to discuss it.
"This is so cool!"
"Brother Lei just told us that this Crystal City is the strongest line of defense and can stop the attack of the beast tide! Let us relax a little after moving here!"
"Stop the beast tide? How to stop it?"
"I don't know. Brother Lei was too busy just now, so he didn't elaborate, and I didn't ask. Anyway, I unconditionally believe in the big guys!"
"Indeed, just lie down. The boss will lead us to lie down and win!"
"Hey, hey, hey! I just checked the soil. The soil under our feet is all blue grade!" A man suddenly poked his head out of the tree house and shouted excitedly.
"Really or not?!"
He looked back at the inside of the tree house, and then exclaimed again: "Grass grass! One part is purple grade! Purple grade soil!"
These survivors who took refuge with the explorers were immersed in huge surprises.
The treehouses of their explorer members were gathered near the World Tree.
That is, the large open space behind the palace.
They planted a tree house about a hundred meters away from the trunk of the World Tree, tightly surrounding and protecting the World Tree that was still growing.
Xu Xin's tree house is planted behind the Crystal Palace, and the entire tree crown is almost close to the palace.
You can even jump directly from the window of his tree house to the balconies on the second and third floors of the palace, without having to go through the main entrance.
Lou Fei'er, Ma Hongwei and their tree house are planted near Xu Xin's tree house.
After everyone finished handling the matter, they gathered under the World Tree.
"So, is the location of our tree house decided here?" Wen Guixin asked, looking at the tree houses surrounding them.
"This feels good." Zhao Xiaochuan is very satisfied with the current layout. "We can finally be regarded as real neighbors. And isn't it just right for our group of people to live in the most central location? Let the rest of them live around. ”
"This is just a temporary layout." Ji Chaoyang shook his head, "The current layout is just to facilitate our protection of this young World Tree that is about to be besieged."
"I think the current location is pretty good." Xu Xin was naturally referring to the location of his treehouse. He looked at his treehouse and said, "I don't plan to change locations. If you are not satisfied with the current location, , then just wait until this matter is over and change positions.”
After all, under the influence of this world tree, their tree house can be transplanted at any time!
Now that the situation is urgent, they will arrange it like this first. After the World Tree has truly grown and is safe, they can transplant it in any way they want.
You can transplant to the lakeside to enjoy the lake view, or get closer to other survivors, or even transplant outside the Crystal City. You can transplant as they wish.
"That's right, let's talk about it then. Our goal now is to protect this world tree!" Wang Lei looked full of enthusiasm, "This world tree is so powerful that it can have such a big impact at an early age. The range allows those of us to transplant perfectly, if this grows..."
"If it grows up, I feel that our beautiful life is about to come! Haha!" Zhao Xiaochuan laughed, "The adult World Tree must have various functions!"
"...It would be great if Wen Xi was here." Qi Xuefei sighed, "Now that Wen Xi is not here, I always feel that our team is incomplete."
"...Wen Xi will be fine." Xu Xin said silently.
He would look at Wen Xi's name from time to time during this period, but fortunately her name always lit up.
But I still haven't been able to contact him.
He looked up at the World Tree, which was still growing and even making "crackling" sounds.
In its current state, this banyan tree can already be called a towering giant tree.
After this period of growth, the tree has grown to a height of 100 meters, about thirty stories high. The canopy is extremely dense, blocking out the sky and the sun, and has completely blocked the entire area in the center of the crystal center.
The dense tree canopy cannot reveal a trace of light, but Crystal City's own light is enough to make the surrounding area very bright.
"Wait, something seems wrong!" At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan raised his head and looked towards the Crystal City Road, "If the light here is blocked and there is no sunshine, how can we plant?"
He is responsible for planting and will be more concerned about this aspect.
"Then don't plant it here." Wen Guixin glanced around, "Where can you plant it in the city center? Isn't there a large area on the edge of Crystal City that can be planted? Don't we have rice and wheat seeds? It’s the most suitable place to plant it. No matter how big the world tree is, it can’t cover the entire Crystal City, right?”
"Then... what about the high-end fruits? I always plant them in the planting room in the tree house. They mature more slowly when planted outside, right?" Zhao Xiaochuan said with a headache, "Then I will have to move outside in the future. Have you gone? ”
"You don't need to worry about this now." Xu Xin shook his head and said, "This Crystal City can affect soil fertility, and maybe it can also affect the growth of plants. Maybe this crystal white light is more useful than sunlight. And..."
He looked up.
"And don't forget the most important tree." Ji Chaoyang also reminded.
That's right.
The young world tree in front of me is more than just a towering tree that can block out the sky and the sun.
The seed that planted it is called [The Best Treehouse Seed].
This is a growing tree house!
A giant treehouse!
In other words, when it grows up, there should be an extremely huge space on it!
He thought of the towering tree he had videotaped with Shi Wanyun. At that time, the tree house's canopy was brightly lit.
Maybe when this tree house grows, they will all move into it.
"Ah, that's right!" Zhao Xiaochuan clapped his hands and said suddenly, "Maybe we can live there in the future!"
"Let's wait until the World Tree grows up. Let's talk about it now..."
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, his watch suddenly vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw the voice call from Lou Feier.
Because she and Jin Yue were fast, he had just asked them to go to the edge of Crystal City to check the surrounding situation and report any abnormalities immediately.
He immediately connected the voice: "What happened?"
"The tide of beasts is coming soon!"
The beast tide is coming?
Xu Xin was a little confused.
He had been paying attention to the map in his mind. There were no bright red dots around him. At most, they were ordinary wild animals that began to appear after the jungle returned to normal temperature.
But Lou Fei'er's explanation immediately made him and all the surrounding explorer members freeze their eyes and become nervous.
"On the ground, a teleportation array pattern appears! It's very similar to the one drawn by Shi Wanyun!"
Do you want to send mutated creatures directly here again?
The beast tide in the last cold winter was transmitted through teleportation arrays all over the place. At that time, they also used the thick layer of snow to hide the teleportation arrays, as well as the mutant creatures that had just been teleported and were very dizzy due to the side effects of teleportation. them.
Don’t just hide it this time!
"The formation patterns are getting brighter and brighter. They are blood patterns! What should I do? There are too many formation patterns!" Lou Feier's voice sounded slightly anxious.
"Where are the array patterns?" Ji Chaoyang asked, "Are they only outside the city? Or are they also on the ground inside the city?"
"Ah, there isn't one in the city!" Lou Feier said immediately, "There is only one outside the city, and it should be about a hundred meters away from the edge of Crystal City!"
Sure enough, the city is very safe. The beast tide should be attacking from the outside into the inside.
The surrounding explorers all frowned, thinking about countermeasures.
Crystal City...is too big.
There is a distance of more than two kilometers from their current location to the periphery, and the entire area is so large and the city edge line is too long, they simply cannot take into account all locations.
Therefore, if the beast tide really invades the city, they will not be able to prevent these beasts from entering the city.
"Since you can't stop it, then don't stop it." At this time, Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice.
"Let them all come in, just to test the capabilities of this Crystal City." Xu Xin also nodded.
"So what should we do now? These teleportation patterns are getting brighter and brighter, and it feels like the teleportation will start soon!"
"Don't panic!" Xu Xin said immediately, "As long as we are in Crystal City, we are in a favorable position. Is Jinyue at your place?"
"I'm here." Jin Yue responded immediately.
"Okay, you guys don't go out of the edge of Crystal City. I'll go over and take a look right away!"
Saying that, Xu Xin turned over to the wolf.
"You want to go there, Brother Xin?"
"Well, I'm going to see the situation with my own eyes. You can come with me, but it's best to leave a few people near the World Tree to guard here! Silver King, let's go!"
"Ouch——"
The Silver King immediately shuttled through the crystal town, and Xu Xin was wearing a silver purple-level steel armor. One person and one wolf were like a silver lightning, speeding through the city, causing other survivors to exclaim.
"Oh my god, is that Brother Xin?"
"So fast! This is too fast! Even cars are not that fast!"
"You guys, go back quickly. Brother Chaoyang just issued a notice that the beast tide is coming!"
And Xu Xin also quickly reached the edge of the city and reached the location where Lou Feier and the two were.
"Look!"
Lou Feier immediately pointed outside the city.
The ground outside the city was densely covered with bloody teleportation formations.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed very similar to the one drawn by Shi Wanyun, even the size is similar.
However, these blood patterns should have nothing to do with her now.
She was now being watched over by Zeng Tao and Mimi, but she never had a chance to act. Xu Xin also asked Zeng Tao to chat with her more to see if she could get any additional information.
"This is..."
He came at the right time.
Outside the city, the teleportation array was at its peak brightness of blood-red light. Immediately afterwards, the entire array was eroded bit by bit by purple-black energy!
The position of each formation gradually turned into a purple-black vortex, slowly spinning!
It's like a whirlpool trap on the ground. It seems that if you step into it, you will fall into an endless abyss!
But...
Suddenly, a claw with blood streaks stretched out from a purple-black vortex, and then grabbed the ground.
Then, different claws stretched out from the many whirlpools, and then various blood-striped creatures poked their heads out of the purple-black whirlpools!
Countless blood-red eyes all looked straight in the direction of Xu Xin and the others, and at the same time bared their sharp fangs!
The mutated biota finally appears!
Many mutated creatures crawled out of the whirlpool, and suddenly, the darkness outside the city seemed very oppressive!
"...So many intermediate mutations!" Lou Feier said nervously.
"Almost out of every ten, one is an intermediate mutant creature." Jin Yue's eyes were solemn.
Put it this way... Judging from the current number, there are probably hundreds of intermediate mutant creatures at a glance!
This is just one direction!
However, the size of these mutant creatures is still larger than that of ordinary beasts.
It seems... they all have a trace of giant beast blood?
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly.
It depends on whether Crystal City can play its role.
Many mutated creatures did not seem to want to rush over directly, but stood there without taking any action.
...A side effect of teleportation?
"嘤!"
Just as he was watching this group of mutated creatures, a familiar cry suddenly sounded around him.
cocoa?
The little guy emerged from behind a crystal building, ran to his side in two steps, and climbed onto his shoulders.
"Ah, Coco is back?" Lou Feier turned around and glanced, "You little guy, luckily you came back before the beast wave came!"
"嘤!"
"Why now...what is this?"
As soon as Coco screamed, a crystal orb fell from its mouth. Xu Xin immediately reached out to grab it and caught it.
It is an orb that exudes crystal white light.
Treehouse core?
But... why is it so small?
About the same size as a grape.
None of the mutated creatures around them attacked. Because there were so many of them, Xu Xin was too lazy to go out and consume their numbers, so he took the opportunity to look at the orb.
He held the orb in his hand, raised it and looked at the sun.
He didn't see anything, but a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
[Xu Xin, it’s me! 】
Um?
His pupils shrank.
Wen Xi? !
Wen Xi's voice?
What's going on?
Thank you [Lin Yuan and Envy Fish] for the reward of 100 starting coins, thank you for your support, thank you! Posted late everyone, something delayed me today OVO
