Chapter 582: Four lines of defense stacked layer upon layer! Big cannon!
On the second day of the "World Tree Siege" event, nothing happened on the ground.
Xu Xin looked at the sun sinking halfway into the skyline, but did not dare to relax.
In this day, they completed all the actions they had planned.
A large circle of ravines was dug around the World Tree.
Thanks to the help of three pangolins, the depth of the ravine exceeded ten meters and reached fifteen meters.
Due to location constraints, digging further down would reach the roots of the World Tree, so we stopped digging.
The width of the ravine also reached an astonishing nearly five meters wide.
This width took them a lot of effort.
However, there is a reason for them to do so.
Because, not long ago, Ji Chaoyang told them that he had received a prophecy for the next day.
He saw large swaths of mutated creatures pouring into Crystal City, and they were not affected by Crystal City at all.
"The body size is not that big, the size of a normal creature, but the blood lines on the body are extremely bright red."
This is how Ji Chaoyang described it.
In other words, the other side has also reacted, or in other words, during today's day of testing, they have learned that this crystal city only affects the bloodline of giant beasts.
Therefore, they did not send another group of beasts with the blood of giant beasts to launch an attack above the ground, but gathered a group of beasts with only mutant blood.
"These beasts are all powerful beasts, such as lions, tigers, brown bears, etc. Although they do not have the blood of giant beasts, their own strength cannot be underestimated." Ji Chaoyang told everyone.
"However, in my prophecy, I did not see flying invaders, but this does not mean that there are none. After all, even now, my prophecy can only last about twenty minutes.
No one knows whether a more powerful enemy will come, such as..."
Ji Chaoyang pointed to the ground.
Everyone knew what he was talking about.
Those in the underground world... petrified pterosaurs, etc.!
Ever since, after it was determined that monsters would attack tomorrow, the gully originally planned to be about two meters was directly expanded to five meters.
This width is enough to block out most ground creatures.
Of course, the abilities of mutated creatures may be stronger, and five meters may not be a big deal to them, but it can also act as a hindrance.
Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Wen Guixin, and Wang Lei transplanted the tree house to the surrounding area, near the trunk of the World Tree.
Because the tree houses of the four of them all have plant hearts!
The treehouses of the four of them are distributed in the four directions of the trunk, east, west, north and south, making the entire world tree within the attack range of the heart of the plant.
The World Trees of the other Explorers are located a few meters outside the ravine, responsible for attacking enemies on the ground, in the air, and in the ravine.
In addition, there are a treehouse heavy crossbow defense line of nearly two hundred people distributed in the surrounding Crystal City.
That's right, two hundred people.
Although only one day had passed, hundreds of people from Xu Xin's side were teleported one after another.
Li Yajun is responsible for guiding and receiving these people, filling in the treehouse defense lines around the World Tree, and adding treehouse heavy crossbows to them.
These first batch of people who arrived were all from Area 188, and most of them were survivors around the teleportation formation that Niu Fugui finally activated.
At that time, this group of survivors who could have arrived were not ready to leave yet, and the cold winter was over. As a result, the "all areas are safe areas" reward received by Area 188 disappeared, and they did not dare to leave.
But now, the existence of the World Tree has made the entire area of 188 a safe area again. They were overjoyed as soon as they received the news and rushed over without stopping.
These people came without hesitation and were strong and bold people.
Although they had to join the war as soon as they arrived, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they were all very excited.
“What a powerful piece of equipment!”
"As expected of a big explorer!"
"Don't worry, bosses, we will protect the World Tree!"
"Haha, Crystal City and World Tree, although I have heard them talk about it for a long time, but seeing it with my own eyes, I suddenly feel so confident!"
"Have you seen those mutated creatures outside Crystal City! I was really scared to death when they came, but they turned out to be the guards of Crystal City! We are invincible!"
This is what these people think.
Indeed, the entire huge crystal city that exudes crystal white light, as well as the towering World Tree that is so huge that it shocks everyone's eyes, are really shocking to a group of survivors who have been living alone.
Shocked beyond measure.
Under such a strong impact, their confidence exploded and they thought they were invincible, which was normal.
As for the group of mutated creatures outside Crystal City, Xu Xin left full authority to Mimi.
In one day, Mimi became the well-deserved king of the peripheral mutant creatures, making them bow to her.
This is not a difficult thing, because Mimi has unknowingly risen to a high-level mutant creature!
Even Xu Xin doesn’t know this!
Xu Xin used her mind-reading ability to talk to Mimi and found out that the troll's meat and the mutated biological medicine obtained underground had rapidly improved its abilities, and it had already been upgraded when it was responsible for guarding Shi Wanyun. To the advanced level.
If it hadn't been for the sudden burst of terrifying speed far beyond what it had been before, Xu Xin would have thought it was hovering at the intermediate level.
With such an invincible burst of speed, it was just a matter of one claw to kill Xu Xin within ten meters, and it was impossible for him to react.
Fortunately, Mimi still has a contract with him, and it also has the blood of a giant beast. Crystal City also has a strong influence on it. There is no need to worry that Mimi will be controlled by the other party because of the mutant creature's blood.
Similarly, under the influence of Crystal City, its size has also grown larger than before.
Therefore, becoming the king of mutant creatures became a matter of course.
Compared with Mimi, Afu has been promoted to the intermediate level, while Silver King has not been promoted to the senior level. Fortunately, it is very close.
In short, with Mimi's help, the outermost mutant biological defense line has been properly deployed.
Within this day, Crystal City's internal and external defense lines had been arranged by the outer circle.
The outermost layer is the mutant biological defense line.
On the second level, there is a treehouse heavy crossbow defense line of two hundred survivors.
The third level is the defense line formed by the ravines that protect the underground and the ground, as well as these powerful explorers.
The fourth level includes the plant heart defense line in the ravine, as well as Xu Xin's super heavy crossbow killer weapon.
All lines of defense have been completely deployed!
Four lines of defense, interlocking with each other!
Just waiting for the enemies who plan to attack World Tree to attack.
This time, they were very well prepared!
Xu Xin twisted his neck and relaxed his mind that had been tense all day.
According to Qin Fu's report, there was nothing noteworthy in Crystal City or outside the city today.
I don’t know why the opponent didn’t attack today, which gave them plenty of preparation time.
Maybe the other party also needs to prepare. After all, preparing an army of mutated creatures without the blood of giant beasts on this earth is not an easy task.
Perhaps they are also gathering forces.
But this also requires more attention.
If before they thought that the opponent's real means of attack was to sneak into the ground and steal the crystals of the World Tree, now everyone in the Explorers believed that both the ground and the underground were their main means of attack.
The ground was not used to cover the ground, but the troops were divided into two groups.
The mutated creatures on the ground are also here to destroy the World Tree!
Therefore, one must be extra careful.
There was also an enemy in the air that they could not yet identify.
In short, tomorrow's battle is still unknown.
Everything they can do is ready, and the rest can only be done to the best of their ability.
At this time, Xu Xin's watch suddenly vibrated.
It was Shi Wanyun who was far away in District 1.
"It's basically settled here, I convinced them." Shi Wanyun spoke, bringing the good news in a soft voice.
"How did you convince them? Did you tell them the truth?"
"Of course not." Shi Wanyun chuckled, "I have put so much effort into asking you to tell me these truths, how could I possibly tell them directly. And didn't you say you can't tell me?"
"Then you..."
"I just used my ability to show the other party the World Tree and Crystal City, and told him that this is the city owned by you explorers."
This operation... is simple and effective.
Even the experts in Area 1 will definitely be shocked by the combination of Crystal City and towering trees.
But...
"Didn't you say that you don't want others to know your abilities?" Xu Xin asked.
"Just letting one of them know it, Cheng Junan, you should have heard of his name."
Cheng Junan.
His name was on the previous snow mountain rankings.
After establishing an alliance between the two areas and connecting them, the other party even had a private chat with him.
But it was just a normal exchange of greetings, that is, after a few words, everyone would work together for a win-win situation and survive together.
This man named Cheng Junan, like Shi Wanyun, also took first place in the District 1 rankings. He can be said to be a strong person in District 1 on the same level as Shi Wanyun.
"I only told him one person, there is no need for him to tell anyone about my abilities."
"Forehead to forehead?"
"...I just touched him and let him take a look at the scene." Shi Wanyun chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in him. He is also very wary of me. If it weren't for the increased affinity, I might not be able to do anything about it. Get close to him.”
"...I didn't mean that." Xu Xin said helplessly, "So, he helped you convince the people in District 1."
"Yes, with the endorsement of our two strongest people in District 1, we informed everyone in District 1 that we are going to District 188 to help protect the World Tree. Now everyone in District 1 is ready to take action."
This saves a lot of effort.
Even the big bosses in the area have fled, and the remaining survivors will naturally follow.
"However, he also has conditions.
There are also some people in District 1 who are very opposed, because those people have defected to other strong people in District 1, and their tree houses cannot be transplanted again. Cheng Junan can agree because he has only accepted two people, and his condition is...
Let the two people who are now parasitic in his treehouse have a parasitic treehouse. I agreed for him. ”
"That's a good promise, no problem with that."
Everyone in the Explorers has quite a few empty parasitic treehouses, so it’s no problem to divide them between two.
Moreover, the World Tree itself is also a huge tree house. After the World Tree grows up, it doesn't matter whether the parasitic tree house is needed or not.
Now, after the survivors in Area 188 cut down their treehouses, they will no longer hear the prompt "Find the treehouse as soon as possible, or else leave the beautiful world."
In other words, in District 188, an area affected by the World Tree, there is no need to worry about problems caused by losing the tree house.
A personal treehouse or something is no longer a necessity.
Because they already have a huge treehouse.
"Lou Feier and Jin Yue, don't you know your abilities yet?"
"I don't know, but I am communicating with you behind their backs. They are currently dealing with the survivors in Area 1. Nearly ten survivors have come to our side. We should be able to get there tonight."
"Okay, let's come directly. Does Ji Chaoyang know about this?"
"I must know that Cheng Junan himself was in contact with Ji Chaoyang. He contacted there immediately after agreeing."
"Well, just leave it to him."
Ji Chaoyang has always been handling matters in District 1, and Xu Xin will not have a hand in it.
"We have opened teleportation today. You can come over at any time. If you want to come, it's best to come tonight." He looked at the sky outside and said.
The sun has completely set.
It's dark.
"Okay, the ordinary survivors in Area 1 will be sent there first. Cheng Junan will not be in the area for the time being. He still needs to guide the survivors in Area 1 here."
"Well, I understand."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin contacted Ji Chaoyang just to be on the safe side.
The other party has indeed received the information, and he learned it from Cheng Junan.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Okay."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin looked at the time.
The sun was setting, but it was still early for the day to end.
Now, it's just seven o'clock in the evening.
So he went to find Ma Hongwei again.
Zeng Tao was still in Ma Hongwei's tree house at this time.
"Xu Xin! Xu Xin!"
Seeing Xu Xin coming, Zeng Tao immediately rushed towards him.
Xu Xin didn't dare to let her pounce, so she quickly dodged to her side.
Zeng Tao rushed to nothing, but turned around and pulled him into the house with excitement: "Come over and see! Look what I did!"
"What..." Xu Xin was pulled by Zeng Tao and glanced sideways at Ma Hongwei, who looked tired but slightly relieved, "Did you make it?"
"It's done..." Ma Hongwei felt as if he had exhausted all his energy, "I just finally made it."
Zeng Tao dragged him into Ma Hongwei's manufacturing room. As soon as he entered, Xu Xin saw a heavy cannon lying on the floor that was larger than a person.
Moreover, it has a handle that can be held in hand.
But the size and material...
I'm afraid ordinary people can't move it at all, let alone lift it up.
"Dang-dang-dang! It's awesome! I made it! A cannon you can hold!" Zeng Tao immediately pointed at the cannon on the ground with his hands on his hips.
Xu Xin reached out and touched the cannon.
[Stone heavy cannon (blue): A hand-held heavy cannon with a gunpowder tank inside. It can be fired twice after being filled. It is very powerful, but its weight and recoil are so great that it cannot be used by non-supermen. 】
Powerful heavy artillery!
Xu Xin tried to lift it up, but...it was difficult.
He can lift it, but it is impossible for him to use it smoothly.
"You are so weak!" Zeng Tao immediately grabbed the handle of the cannon with both hands and lifted it.
The huge cannon body was easily picked up by her!
Then, she raised her hand, and the heavy cannon, which weighed at least a ton and was two meters long, was easily lifted by her and placed on her seemingly extremely slender shoulders.
But she didn't feel any difficulty at all, but said with a proud smile: "How about it, isn't it super strong! Boom!"
A small man carrying a big cannon.
The black muzzle was still facing Xu Xin.
Lolita and cannon, this scene is a bit inconsistent, but I have to say...
Not a bad combination.
"You're doing well, haven't you tried the power yet?" Xu Xin asked.
"No. This is just a test cannon. The real structure and power still need to be upgraded, and then made of metal, such as purple-grade steel or meteorite." Ma Hongwei said tiredly, "But at this stage, It’s not that the version cannot be used, but I don’t have much energy now. Brother Xin, please come and accompany her. I want to rest.”
Ma Hongwei was exhausted mentally and physically from tutoring his children with homework. He just wanted to rest now.
"Come on, let's go out and give it a try!" Zeng Tao held the cannon with one hand and held Xu Xin's arm with the other, begging, "I worked on this all day long!"
"I'm the one doing the research..." Ma Hongwei rolled his eyes.
Xu Xinze was indeed very interested in this artillery.
It only needs to be loaded with gunpowder to launch, and there is no need to consume metal or other materials to make ammunition.
This means so much.
I don't know how powerful it is in this situation.
"Okay, let's try it."
Thank you for the [Braised Mushroom Steamed Fish] 7,000 starting coin reward, thank you for your support, thank you!
A lot of rewards! Thank you!
I always feel like the pace has slowed down recently...
In today’s chapter, I tried to speed up the pace as much as possible. I feel that I have written enough here, so I will move to the next stage as soon as possible!
