Chapter 681 The blood-striped vine reappears
Meanwhile, on the ground.
Xu Xin, Li Wenxi and four others have arrived under another World Tree.
The journey was smooth and no moving creatures were encountered.
This surprised several people.
"Tell me, where have all the alien invaders here gone?" Li Wenxi sighed, "Did they all go away with a few giant ships? Have they all moved?"
"Is it possible that under the World Tree it is not a place to live?" Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I know that people live in the World Tree, but..."
Li Wenxi looked in the direction of the purple-black light pillar.
Surrounding the purple-black light pillar is a small city.
There are all kinds of strange buildings and streets, but at this time, the city is dead.
"Can't all of them live in the World Tree? Isn't there a small city there?" Li Wenxi pointed over there.
"But this is near the World Tree." Lou Fei'er took over the words and said, "It's equivalent to... the backyard of the landlord's house? Ordinary alien invaders can't get close, right?"
"It makes sense, but..." Li Wenxi looked at the city surrounding the purple-black light pillar, "Why can't you see a single person over there?"
"Maybe the alien invaders living there really left with the giant ship." Jin Yue also looked at the city and said, "The alien invaders living here should all be the leaders of the alien invaders. "
Xu Xin also nodded in agreement.
Indeed. The alien invaders' World Trees are spread across the entire planet, and the total number of all alien invaders is only a few hundred thousand.
Most alien invaders have their own World Tree and do not live in this headquarters.
And those who stayed at the headquarters were probably members of the alien invader army.
Now that all four giant ships have set sail, these military members will naturally go with the giant ships.
"There really is no one left to protect us..." Lou Fei'er was a little puzzled, "I know they never thought that we would come here to steal our homes, but now that their internal conflicts are fierce, they don't worry about other alien invaders coming over. ”
"I don't think there's anything to worry about." Li Wenxi looked up.
Several of them are now located under the canopy of the target world tree.
Looking up, you can see the lush and green world tree crown, which looks extremely abrupt in this vast sea of sand.
"If we didn't have the Hidden One's hood on us, I'm afraid we would have been blown to pieces before we even got close to the World Tree." Li Wenxi said while looking at the dense tree crown.
Her ability allows her to clearly detect the metal external weapons of the World Tree hidden in the canopy of the World Tree.
The number of these external weapons was much more than she imagined, and they were densely packed, and...
They are all active.
These external weapons slowly swung their heads over time, obviously searching for targets automatically.
These weapons are all in automatic mode. If discovered by them, I am afraid that they will be attacked by super strong firepower in an instant.
Without Zhao Xiaochuan's Invisible Cloak, even if Xu Ying was there and could take them to other places, they would not be unscathed. After all, Xu Ying could not take everyone away in an instant.
Maybe even Xu Ying herself wouldn't be able to react.
"Oh yes, there are external weapons in the crown of the World Tree..." Lou Feier's eyebrows trembled slightly, "It was so safe along the way, I almost forgot about it..."
The protection of the World Tree itself is extremely strict.
There is no need to worry about anyone invading.
But they didn't expect that Zhao Xiaochuan would have the ability to reduce their own sense of existence so that neither living creatures nor machines could detect their existence.
This also allows Xu Xin and the others to move easily in such a dangerous area.
"Besides, not all people are gone."
Xu Xin looked at the World Tree in front of her, and then at the city surrounding the purple-black light pillar.
"My guess is that the alien invaders living in the cities near the teleportation array should all be members of the military. They are not in the World Tree and can assemble quickly and move faster. The ones living in the World Tree should be Some higher-level personnel, or researchers, etc. ”
This conjecture is very likely to be the layout of the leader of the alien invaders.
In addition to allowing the members of the army to live outside the World Tree, in addition to protecting the World Tree and making it easier to mobilize, there may also be an idea of not allowing members of the army to bring weapons into the World Tree.
In this way, even if there are some individuals among the army members who have second thoughts, even if they have very powerful weapons in their hands, they will not be able to harm the core members.
He warned the three women around him: "So, you must be careful after entering the World Tree. According to my guess, there are indeed not many alien invaders outside the World Tree now, but I am afraid there will be many inside the World Tree." ! ”
Li Wenxi nodded with deep understanding: "Yeah, it can't be that the top brass of their alien invaders also went out with the giant ship, right? There must be many alien invaders in the World Tree, and they must be some key Role! ”
Xu Xin thought slightly.
If they were all alien invaders who were engaged in research or were pampered, wouldn't it be easier to fool them?
It might even be said that they might be able to kill some.
"嘤!"
Coco screamed again in Xu Xin's arms and pointed her little paws in one direction.
Keke had just pointed out the direction for them many times.
"Keke, we are already reaching the trunk of the tree. Do you really know where to enter the World Tree?" Lou Feier bent down and looked at Coco and said, "Don't lead the wrong way, our lives are all at stake. In hand.”
"Hey!" Coco raised her little head, saying that she didn't need to worry, she was right to believe it.
The four of them continued to move in the direction indicated by Coco.
There was still silence all around, nothing happened.
This kind of silence makes people feel a bit scary, and Li Wenxi subconsciously gets closer to Xu Xin.
"Hey!" Coco squirmed in Xu Xin's arms, as if she wanted to jump out again.
"Keke, I told you not to jump out of my cloak!" Xu Xin pushed the little guy back.
This little guy may really not be discovered by the other party, but even if there is only a slight possibility, he will not let Coco go around.
"Uh...huh!" Coco felt a little disappointed at first, then raised her little head again and started to give directions to the four of them.
Several people continued walking for a hundred meters.
"Hey!" Coco yelled and waved her little paw.
Xu Xin understood and said to the three women: "Stop, it's right here."
The location here is more than a hundred meters away from the trunk of the World Tree. There is nothing around it, just a barren land.
"嘤,嘤嘤!"
Coco barked a few times and pointed her little paws at the ground.
"The ground?" Xu Xin looked at his feet.
The surrounding soil is very ordinary, and there is no difference between it and other places.
"Hey!" Coco twisted in Xu Xin's arms again.
"Wen Xi, is there anything unusual underground in this land?" Xu Xin turned to ask Li Wenxi.
Li Wenxi shook her head in confusion: "No. At least I didn't find any metal objects underground."
"Keke, you don't want us to dig down, do you?" Lou Feier pointed to the underground passage.
"Ugh!" Coco shook her little head fiercely.
Well...
Xu Xin activated her identification ability.
"Eh..."
He suddenly discovered that just a few steps in front of him, a circular piece of land about three meters in diameter was a piece of purple soil!
Most of the surrounding soil is green-grade soil, and there are only a few pieces of blue-grade soil. Suddenly, this large area of almost perfect circular purple-grade soil looks so strange.
Seeing that Lou Fei'er still wanted to go forward, Xu Xin immediately grabbed her and said, "Come back."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Lou Fei'er suddenly became nervous when she heard Xu Xin's serious tone, "Is it dangerous ahead?"
"The land ahead..." Xu Xin told the three women what he had discovered.
Then, he touched Coco's ear in his arms: "Coco, do you want us to walk to the land in front?"
"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head.
"I'll go first, let me give it a try." Jin Yue opened her long legs and stepped forward to step into the purple soil.
"Alas!" Li Wenxi and Lou Fei'er immediately grabbed her.
"Don't be so anxious." Xu Xin waved her hand and looked at the little guy in her arms, "Isn't there someone who knows everything?"
Coco exchanged a few words with him.
Xu Xin touched her chin.
What Coco meant was for them to stamp on the ground with their feet after stepping into this area.
It's such a simple action.
"Is this... how to enter this world tree?"
Xu Xin looked at the World Tree that Xu Ying, Wen Guixin and the others entered.
The way to enter the World Tree over there is much more complicated than this one.
It's not enough, but that's understandable.
After all, the World Tree contains the "source of life" for alien invaders. Both entry methods and defense must be very strict.
The World Tree that Xu Xin and the others are about to enter now is not that important.
There are no such important resources in this world tree, so natural access will be freer.
However, the way in and out is still very strange.
"I'd better give it a try first," Jin Yue said.
"No, let's go together." Xu Xin touched Coco in her arms.
It's impossible for Coco to harm them.
Just don't try it.
If you enter it multiple times, World Tree will definitely react, but it may be discovered, causing problems.
The four of them stepped into this purple soil together.
"I count to three, and we stomp on the ground at the same time. Is that so, Keke?" Xu Xin lowered her head and said.
"嘤!"
All three women said they were ready.
"One, two, three!"
The four of them raised their feet at the same time and stepped on the ground.
Then...
Nothing happened.
The four of them looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
"Keke, you..." Lou Feier suddenly stopped before she could finish her words.
The other three people also felt something was wrong.
The ground was shaking slightly.
Moreover, the trembling intensity began to gradually increase!
"Well, we won't fall straight down later...?" Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's arm.
"It's...very possible!" Lou Fei'er grabbed Xu Xin's other arm.
Xu Xin's eyes twitched slightly: "Keke, are you sure... there is no danger?"
In his map ability, right at the location where several people are, a red dot is slowly lighting up, getting brighter and brighter!
"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head and lay motionless in his arms, looking completely out of danger.
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
Keke is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?
bring it on!
"You guys, be careful, below the ground...!"
Before Xu Xin could finish speaking, the ground they were standing on began to shake violently!
Then, the ground cracked in an instant.
Several people watched in horror as several extremely thick vines covered with blood streaks suddenly emerged from the ground and around them, and rushed straight into the sky!
This scene is extremely familiar to Xu Xin and others!
Aren't these the same blood-striped vines from back then!
However, the vines here are much thicker than the thickest vines they saw before!
The expressions of the three women changed drastically, and they were about to take out their weapons on the spot!
"Don't resist!" Xu Xin said hurriedly.
His words made their movements slow down.
In this slow moment, these vines were thrown towards Xu Xin and the others, and with their rapid speed, they quickly wrapped around their bodies.
"嘤!嘤...!"
Because the vines were wrapped around Xu Xin's body, Coco was pressed into Xu Xin's arms, struggling hard, and poked a small head out of the vines.
"This..."
Before the four of them could react, the four vines wrapped around them climbed straight up again!
Take the four of them with you!
"Oh my god, this...!"
The speed was very fast, and in just a few seconds, they were already close to the bottom of the tree canopy that was 100 meters high!
We are about to hit a very lush tree canopy!
Just when they were about to collide, a hole suddenly opened at the bottom of the tree canopy, and the blood-striped vines entangling Xu Xin and the others immediately took advantage of it and stuffed them directly into the newly opened hole.
Then everything went dark, and everything around him fell into darkness.
But this darkness only lasted two seconds.
When they could see again, they were already in a wooden hall.
The floor, ceiling, and surrounding walls of the hall are all made of wooden walls with textured growth rings, giving people a very old feel at first glance.
At this moment, the blood-striped vines wrapped around the bodies of several people slowly loosened from their bodies and slowly retracted into the gap in the ground.
Then, under the horrified gazes of Xu Xin and others, the gap in the ground quickly grew and healed, leaving only a flat wooden floor.
"...We just...came in?" Li Wenxi said in disbelief, her voice was very low.
Although it's not clear where in the World Tree the empty wooden hall they are now located comes from, it's better not to speak loudly.
After all, this is also the inside of the enemy’s World Tree!
"...Have you noticed that vine just now?" Lou Fei'er also exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't that the blood-striped mutated vine? As long as you step out of the safe area of the tree house, that kind of vine will emerge from under the ground. Mutated vines emerged! ”
Jin Yue was the calmest among the three women. She looked at the ground where the vines had retracted and recovered and said: "The mutated vines over there are mutated creatures dropped by alien invaders to select humans. It seems like ...Those vines are probably a variant of the vines here.”
"Yeah." Xu Xin nodded, "It's equivalent to a...deteriorated version of the vine we just saw."
Their place is really full of products of degraded technology from alien invaders.
However, being able to see the complete version of the blood-striped mutated vines here, and being entangled by the blood-striped mutated vines and being brought into the World Tree, is really a wonderful experience.
"So, what should we do now?" Lou Fei'er observed the wooden hall, "There seems to be nothing here, only..."
She looked ahead, at a door in this wooden hall.
It was the only door in the room.
"I can only go and see..."
"Wait a minute!"
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Wenxi.
She looked at the only door of the wooden house, her pupils slightly constricted: "There's something going on! There is a metal object approaching quickly outside the door! It seems to be...a small drone?"
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes.
He knew how it was possible that the mutated vine had made such a big move without being noticed by the individuals in the World Tree.
Fortunately, although they were entangled by blood-striped vines, those vines were not the kind with barbs, but the surface was very smooth, and the cloaks of the Hidden Ones on their bodies were not damaged.
And the Invisible Man's cloak is there, so as long as they are careful, they won't be discovered.
"Let's lean against the wall, don't move." Xu Xin whispered, then took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.
"Okay!"
Li Wenxi's three daughters also followed suit, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.
Just when the four of them were ready, there was a "creak" sound, and the closed door slowly opened. (End of chapter)
