Chapter 591 The World Tree Is About to Mature!
Why did this big guy emerge from the lake and suddenly attack those mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Is it to help him?
Or... just can't accept the group of Tyrannosaurus rex passing by the lake?
Just now, on the map in his mind, the light dot representing the boa constrictor in the center of the lake is still the red dot representing the enemy.
Although he didn't know how they were classified, Xu Xin's ability told him that the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake was still an enemy unit.
This ability has saved him many times. It is the ability that Xu Xin left for himself, and he still believes in it.
After all, there is no more credible way of distinguishing friend from foe than this ability. The only negligence of this ability was on Shi Wanyun back then, but Shi Wanyun was a survivor, and she was not brainwashed, only threatened.
It's normal for things like spies not to be detected.
Therefore, he still believed in his own ability, thinking that the giant boa constrictor was still hostile to him.
Although... it never hurt itself a single time.
For Xu Xin, it seemed that it had only used its roar to intimidate it.
But, it did hurt his people.
Ma Hongwei was directly crushed to death by it.
If it weren't for his resurrection ability, Ma Hongwei would have died at that time.
Moreover, the creek-bottom giant crocodile, which had been identified as a neutral unit by his ability and hadn't appeared for a long time, did have a clear discord with it and fought.
Therefore, whether it is an enemy or a friend, at present, it is temporarily uncertain.
However, at least this time, it will come out of the ground, and it must be attracted by these mutant tyrannosaurs.
so……
……Um?
Wait a moment.
What kind of existence are these mutated Tyrannosaurus rexes?
They are pure-blood mutant creatures.
Although it is huge in size, it does not have the bloodline of a giant beast. It is a prehistoric giant beast mutated by pure blood.
What kind of existence is Ma Hongwei?
Strictly speaking, he can also be regarded as... a pure-blooded mutant creature. He doesn't have the blood of giant beasts.
In other words, the targets of the two attacks of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake were pure-blood mutant creatures without the blood of the giant beast.
The time it emerged from the lake was because it was attracted by Ma Hongwei's explosive crossbow bolt.
At that time, it poked its head out of the lake. It did not crawl as fast as this time, but slowly climbed to Ma Hongwei's tree house.
There were some mutant creatures around it at that time, but those mutant creatures did not attract its slightest attention. It crushed a bunch of fleeing mutant creatures to death just by crawling.
At that time, its goal was very clear, which was Ma Hongwei's tree house.
At that time, Xu Xin believed that it was because Ma Hongwei's explosive crossbow bolts had disturbed it that it got out and wanted to kill Ma Hongwei.
But now it seems...
Could it be that the explosive crossbow bolt was just a trigger? Is Ma Hongwei's pure blood pattern mutation the main reason?
If you look at it this way, it can explain why it was not interested in other mutated creatures at that time.
Because those mutant creatures are not pure-blooded mutant creatures, but possess part of the bloodline of giant beasts.
It seems like... it only attacks pure-blood mutant creatures?
"Huh?" Coco's cry interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to his senses.
He glanced out the window.
"...By the way, Zeng Tao!"
Xu Xin immediately came down from the tree house and ran towards Zeng Tao who was sitting on the ground.
This girl is too crazy!
Directly facing a high-speed running Tyrannosaurus Rex, or an advanced mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex!
It’s so desperate!
Thanks to her ability, her weight is beyond imagination, otherwise, the running kick of the Tyrannosaurus Rex would probably be able to kick a little guy of her size several hundred meters away!
At this time, Zeng Tao was sitting on the ground, stretching out his two short legs and supporting his uninjured arm on the ground, looking left and right at the corpse of the Tyrannosaurus Rex around him.
It seemed that she was not seriously injured, but her arm was broken by the kick.
Seeing Xu Xin running over, before Xu Xin could say anything, she said proudly: "How about it! Am I very powerful? I just cut off the legs of the Tyrannosaurus rex!"
And coming behind Xu Xin was Lou Fei'er.
"You are too reckless!" Lou Feier hurriedly ran to her side, "Your arm...is already healed?!"
"You... took the pill?" Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, if I don't take the pill, I wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with this Tyrannosaurus rex." Zeng Tao stood up, turned her injured arm around, and said in surprise, "It's already healed! It's really good. OK! Yeah!”
Her head was flicked by Xu Xin, and she immediately covered her head and stared at him: "Why are you flicking me again!"
"You are really desperate for your life."
Xu Xin tried to attack again, but Zeng Tao hurriedly hid behind Lou Fei'er, stuck out his head and shouted: "I am a great hero, and you still attack me! If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be able to kill that stupid dragon!"
Although she has gotten rid of Xu Xin's control, she still has a little fear of Xu Xin, just like... the fear of children towards their parents and teachers.
"Everyone was shooting randomly with crossbow bolts. If we hadn't stopped in time, you would have been blown to death even if you weren't kicked to death." Xu Xin said angrily, "Do you know that I almost killed that crossbow? Did the weapon shoot at you?"
"Isn't it?" Lou Fei'er also glanced at Zeng Tao behind her and said, "I almost blasted him right away! Fortunately, your yell of 'Stop!' stopped me."
"Alas..." Zeng Tao was taken aback for a moment, thinking about the situation at that time, she immediately shrank her neck in fear.
"It seems to be really dangerous... But, I'm fine! And judging from the results, I really helped a lot!"
As he said that, Zeng Tao raised his head and regained his complacent expression. He looked at Xu Xin with an expression that clearly said, Why don't you praise me?
Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh.
This is true.
Due to the lack of resources, Xu Xin actually only had one big killer weapon.
It is basically impossible to kill the Tyrannosaurus rex charging from two different directions with that big killing weapon.
It is basically impossible for other crossbow arrows to cause fatal injuries to the high-speed Tyrannosaurus Rex.
And at that time, everyone had to concentrate their firepower on dealing with the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the pothole.
If Zeng Tao hadn't cut off the leg bones of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and caused the vines to get out of the eyes and mouth of the immobile Tyrannosaurus Rex, then there must have been a Tyrannosaurus Rex that could have caused damage to the World Tree.
Even a Tyrannosaurus rex will cause some damage to the World Tree.
That was an advanced mutated ancient behemoth. From the perspective of attack power... Ordinary mutated creatures could not hurt the giant anaconda scales at all. They could bite and tear them off at will.
Zeng Tao's actions did prevent this situation from happening.
"Okay, it's really all thanks to you this time." Xu Xin touched her head.
"Don't touch my head! Hehe..." Although she was still dissatisfied with Xu Xin touching her head, Zeng Tao couldn't help but laugh proudly again.
Xu Xin was speechless.
This little girl is so easy to fool.
At this time, except for Ji Chaoyang who was still on the top floor of the tree house using his vision enhancement to observe whether there were any other dangers around him, the rest of the explorers had also come down from the tree house.
"Little girl, you can do it!" Wang Lei came over and patted Zeng Tao on the shoulder, "Your strength is about the same as mine, right? I don't even dare to jump out!"
"What the hell!" Zeng Tao's nostrils turned upward, "I may not be able to match you in terms of strength alone, but in battle, I am very strong!"
Wang Lei, who is nearly two meters tall, and Zeng Tao, who is less than 1.5 meters tall, stand together. They are both strength players, forming a strong visual contrast.
"Brother Xin, everyone around you is really capable." Zhao Xiaochuan also sighed.
"I've said it before, she's very strong." Wen Guixin came over and said, "I have sparred with her before, and she is no match for her in a head-on confrontation. Good job, little guy."
"Hehe!" Zeng Tao had a silly smile on his face.
This was the first time she used her ability in front of everyone in the Explorers. Although others had known about her ability for a long time, they were still a little shocked when they actually saw it.
Her fighting strength seems to be enough to go head-to-head with giant beasts!
What is it called? A small humanoid beast!
Xu Xin looked into the distance and observed the surrounding situation through the map.
There is not even a single red light spot around.
In the map, there are many green light spots outside Crystal City.
Those were all friendly mutated creatures that survived the battle. The number of light spots was more than half less than before, but the remaining ones were basically the strongest ones in the group.
Those herds of beasts have also gone through a wave of screening.
With these remaining, Xu Xin wanted to start using the giant beast potion on them.
They may be able to become qualified guardians of Crystal City.
Behemoth Guardian.
"By the way, Shi Wanyun hasn't come back yet?" Lou Fei'er looked in the direction of the teleportation formation and asked, "Was she rushing back just now?"
After yesterday's actions, Lou Fei'er had a great change in her opinion of Shi Wanyun, and she was already a little worried about him.
"Ah." Xu Xin was slightly startled.
Without Lou Fei'er asking, he almost forgot about Shi Wanyun.
There are green dots all around, and Shi Wanyun's location cannot be found on the map.
"There should be no problem. There are crystal buildings everywhere. She can just hide in any room."
With that said, Xu Xin contacted Shi Wanyun.
Sure enough, the other party got through directly.
"I'll be right back." Shi Wanyun's voice sounded, and then he hung up.
...?
Why did you suddenly become a little aloof?
Forget it, it's fine.
By the way, let’s check the status of World Tree first.
When he came to the World Tree, he reached out and touched the World Tree.
[The World Tree that is about to mature: A World Tree that is about to fully grow. The root system has completely extended to its maximum range and is about to mature. On land affected by the roots of the World Tree, any tree house can be transplanted at will, and the growth rate of plants will be greatly increased.
The immature World Tree is very fragile, and any attack will damage it, slow down its growth, or even destroy it. Try to ensure that it is not harmed before it grows to a height of 200 meters.
The immature and fragile tree trunk has suffered some damage during the growth process and needs to use its own strength to repair it. The maturity time is delayed by five hours.
The World Tree is 195 meters tall and will enter the mature stage in fourteen hours. 】
Being injured will delay maturity, which he has known for a long time.
However... the World Tree was not seriously damaged.
It was just a few holes made by the flying mutated creatures. Compared with its diameter of more than ten meters, it was really not worth mentioning.
Even so, the maturation time is extended backwards by five hours.
...Fortunately, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not allowed to cause damage to the World Tree. With the attack power of the advanced mutant beast, even if it would not destroy the World Tree, it would inflict heavy damage to the World Tree and greatly delay its maturity.
Then there is no end.
Fourteen hours.
Xu Xin glanced at the time.
It's past eleven o'clock now, close to noon.
The duration of this battle was not short.
Herds of beasts, flocks of birds, pangolins, and tyrannosaurus rex, monsters came to attack the city wave after wave.
Fortunately, they were resolved one by one.
If the World Tree would no longer be harmed...
Between one and two o'clock in the middle of the night today, the World Tree will mature.
Until then...you can't let down your guard.
Who knows if the other party will have something popping up suddenly to give World Tree a shot, prolonging its maturity time.
"How is it, Brother Xin, the state of the World Tree." All the explorers also came.
The others didn't have the ability to identify, and their information acquisition was not as comprehensive as Xu Xin's, so they simply asked directly.
Xu Xin informed them of their current situation.
"There are still 14 hours...!" Zhao Xiaochuan screamed, "No way..."
"This..." Everyone else also felt a little headache.
Their thermal weapons have basically been exhausted in this battle, and materials such as metals have also been exhausted.
If there is another wave of beasts in these fourteen hours, they may not be able to protect the world tree.
"You don't have to worry too much about the beast tide." At this moment, Shi Wanyun's voice came from behind everyone.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, Shi Wanyun was almost spotless, walking towards this side.
"You haven't been affected?" Lou Fei'er asked in surprise when she saw how clean her body was.
"Why don't you worry about the beast tide?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked in confusion.
"..." Shi Wanyun didn't reply, but looked at Xu Xin.
It seemed that she only wanted to tell Xu Xin to one person.
Could it be that she just experienced something?
"...Come to the tree house with me." Xu Xin also knew that it was impossible for her to speak when there were so many people, and her identity as a double agent was destined not to be known to many people.
"Then let's talk. Let's go clean up the surrounding area. It's such a mess!" Wang Lei said to the others knowingly, while pointing outside the ravine.
"Okay, let's clean it up together first. These Tyrannosaurus carcasses are also very good materials." Wen Guixin nodded.
No one was dissatisfied.
After all, Xu Xin will tell them later.
Although there may be some things about Shi Wanyun that he chooses to hide, but that doesn't matter.
Xu Xin took Shi Wanyun back to the tree house.
"Did you hide in the crystal building?" Xu Xin sat on the sofa and pointed at the sofa, "Sit."
Shi Wanyun also sat down.
Coco also crawled into his arms at this time, blinking at Shi Wanyun.
"I didn't hide because the other person didn't hurt me."
Her first words made Xu Xin open her eyes slightly.
Yes.
She is now a double agent. In the eyes of the other party, she is also one of them, so how can he hurt her.
"That mysterious voice, it contacted me again, before the last Tyrannosaurus rex died."
Shi Wanyun looked into Xu Xin's eyes and said frankly with her signature soft voice and eyes: "It allows me to secretly destroy the World Tree before the end of midnight today."
As she spoke, she touched her backpack, took out something similar to a syringe, and handed it to Xu Xin: "My points mall was opened again at that time, and there was this prop in it, and the mysterious voice asked me to buy it. "
"This is……"
Xu Xin took it.
[World Tree Stem Virus: A specialized virus that fights against World Tree. Injected into the trunk of the World Tree, it can infect the World Tree and greatly slow down its growth rate. Even if the World Tree finally matures, the internal treehouse will be deformed. 】
...The other party’s methods of preventing the World Tree from maturing are really endless!
