Chapter 677 The Master of the Dark Tentacles

Those pitch-black tentacles completely wrapped the front of the entire hull, making the giant ship with half the hull of the purple-black teleportation beam look like a giant living monster!

"Oh my god... are those tentacles... the body of an alien invader?!" Qi Xuefei's eyes were full of horror.

"This...couldn't this be a new mutated creature created by alien invaders?" Ma Hongwei was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. "This giant ship...couldn't it really be alive?"

At this time, everyone else in the World Tree was also completely boiling and confused.

"Hand grass, an alien spaceship with tentacles?"

"This tentacle is sticking out from the window. What kind of monster is in this giant ship?!"

"Oh my god...just one tentacle can be dozens of meters thick, right?!"

"Is this... is this the giant beast sent by the alien invaders to attack us... are we finished..."

"What a joke! Blast it! As long as it is a carbon-based organism, it cannot survive the bombing of a nuclear bomb intact!"

"Well, is there a possibility that they are alien organisms? Most likely they are not carbon-based organisms?"

"Uh... In short, I'm just going to blast it! Blow it!"

The giant ship poked out from the purple-black light beam very slowly.

Even by the speed standards outside the World Tree, it is still very slow.

So much so that from within the World Tree, this giant ship barely moved except for a small half of it that suddenly popped out when it first appeared.

"Why do I feel... something's not right?" Ji Chaoyang looked at the giant ship and had another guess in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yunlong looked at Ji Chaoyang.

"The tentacles came out from the inside of this giant ship..." Ji Chaoyang said to himself.

"Yes, and the dark color is basically the same as that of the half-human monster." Ma Hongwei had clenched his fists, looking at the tentacles, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing these giant tentacle-like things, he thought of the scene when he was crushed to death by a similar giant anaconda.

"But...these tentacles don't have the signature organs of an intruder." Ji Chaoyang touched his chin.

"The iconic organ of the alien invader? You mean... the eyes?" Qi Xuefei said softly.

"Yes. Eyes." Ji Chaoyang nodded, looking at the tentacles that were constantly squirming out of the windows of the giant ship and from the purple-black light beams, "Although these tentacles are as black as the alien invaders' skin, , but it’s not full of eyes.”

"You mean..." Ma Hongwei was thoughtful.

"Moreover," Ji Chaoyang did not answer Ma Hongwei's words, but continued, "Moreover, the speed at which this giant ship pokes out from the purple-black light pillar...is it a bit too slow?"

"So, since this giant ship appeared, it really hasn't probed any further..." Qin Yunlong thought, and then his eyes lit up, "You mean, these dark tentacles are actually blocking the way..." The giant ship is leaning out?"

"Yes, this is my guess." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "The owner of this tentacle and this giant ship may not belong to the same camp."

As if to verify what he said, just as he finished speaking, the giant ship slowly retracted towards the purple-black light beam amid the exclamations of everyone.

Now the situation is almost clear.

Those tentacles really wanted to pull the suddenly appearing giant ship back into the purple-black light pillar!

"Those tentacles are not the same as the alien invaders!"

"It's stopping the giant ship!"

"Hahaha, God will not destroy my World Tree!"

"This, this, this...such a huge ship was actually dragged back?!"

"Oh my god, how strong the owner of this black tentacle must be!"

"What's the situation? What's the situation now? Who can explain it to me?"

"No matter what the situation is, blast it! I think we can take action now!"

"Don't act rashly." At this time, Ji Chaoyang gave everyone another order, "Although the owner of the dark tentacles does not stand with the alien invaders, he may not be very friendly to us like the giant insects. We still have to Avoid accidentally injuring the owner of the tentacle."

"Isn't it like a giant insect..." Qi Xuefei looked at the giant ship being slowly dragged towards the purple-black light beam, "The owner of this tentacle, and the giant insect that is currently surrounding our World Tree..."

"They are all extremely huge beasts." Ji Chaoyang continued, "I also thought of it."

The owner of the tentacles is the same as the giant insect, a giant beast beyond human imagination.

The giant insect was a full 20,000 meters long, and its tentacles completely entangled the super giant ship, and could drag it back into the light pillar.

The owner of this tentacle is indeed likely to be a giant insect-like existence, and it is indeed possible that he is specifically here to help them.

The giant beasts will help them. The members of the Explorers all know that the reason is because Xu Xin in another time and space cultivated many giant beasts to help them thousands of years later.

"But I can't be sure." Ji Chaoyang looked at the purple-black light pillar, "The owner of this tentacle is very powerful. After all, Xu Xin in another time and space can really cultivate such a powerful person, who can even be in the light pillar of this giant teleportation array. A free-spirited creature?"

Everyone was silent.

Ji Chaoyang added: "Regardless of whether it can be cultivated or not, even if the owner of this tentacle was cultivated by Xu Xin from another time and space, now that it is so strong, can we be sure that it will not do anything to us? From another time and space, can we be sure that it will not do anything to us? Xu Xin has been wiped out from the world, and he can no longer affect these giant beasts."

"That's true..." Qin Yunlong nodded slowly.

"So, the most appropriate thing for us to do now is to wait and see what happens." Ji Chaoyang looked at the giant ship that was slowly being towed back to the purple-black beam of light. "This situation is important for our purpose: to buy time for Xu Xin and the others. advantageous."

This tentacle might really be able to help them deal with the threat of giant ships.

The biggest reason why Ji Chaoyang has this consideration is that this giant ship does not exist in the ending he predicted.

If a giant ship of this size appeared and attacked them, Ji Chaoyang didn't think they could hold on for a long time.

But in his prediction, World Tree can withstand at least until noon the next day.

This shows that the sudden appearance of the giant ship may not have a strong effect, at least it will not pose a great threat to them yet.

And the reason...

I'm afraid it's these dark tentacles.

...Who is the owner of this tentacle?

…

The other side of the earth.

Xu Xin and others accelerated their advance after the four giant ships were teleported.

Now, they are already under the trunk of the target World Tree, and even very close to the trunk of the target World Tree.

Only then did they truly see the core area of ​​the alien invader's headquarters.

The three World Trees surround the purple-black light pillar, but they are not close to the purple-black light pillar.

There is still a distance of about one kilometer between the three World Trees and the purple-black light pillar.

This area looks like a very prosperous city.

Various strange-shaped buildings are located in this area. These buildings have one thing in common, that is, they are relatively short, so Xu Xin and the others have not seen this area from a distance before.

However, this "core city" only looked prosperous, because Xu Xin and the others did not find any creatures moving in the city. Only these strange-shaped buildings were like a group of demons dancing around, making up this small city that looked very magical.

"This small town must be inhabited by alien invaders, right?" Lou Fei'er whispered, "Where have they all gone? Did they follow those four giant ships?"

Probably.

Xu Xin looked at these buildings.

The people living in this core area are probably the leader's people. If the leader goes on an expedition, they should indeed accompany him.

It's almost God's help, now they're even less likely to be discovered.

Xu Xin looked at the trunk of the World Tree, which was only a few hundred meters away from them.

The core of the source of life for the alien invaders is under the World Tree in front of them.

They should have reached the top of their destination, and may even be stepping on their target.

Xu Xin even wanted to dig deeper.

But this is unrealistic.

It is completely impossible to dig close to the core, because the underground space of the World Tree, that is, the console area of ​​the entire World Tree, is completely wrapped by the root system closest to the trunk and the most powerful root system of the World Tree.

There is only one way to enter the underground space control area of ​​the World Tree, which is to enter from the inside of the World Tree.

So before that, they must enter the World Tree.

And the monster gave them a way.

These three World Trees are owned and lived by high-level alien invaders. They are similar to human palaces, and palaces must have gatekeepers.

Just like the monster's father, the leader of the alien invaders, he is the owner of these three world trees, but it is impossible to trouble him for approval and release every time someone comes in or out.

Therefore, there are so-called "gatekeepers".

These gatekeepers have the power to enter and exit the World Tree, and they also have the power to take people into the World Tree.

Each World Tree has three gatekeepers who guard the entrance and exit of the World Tree at different times.

The gatekeepers of World Tree are not combatants, so even if the entire army attacks, they should continue to guard the entrance and exit of World Tree, because this is their task and responsibility.

Therefore, as long as Xu Xin and the others find the guard, they have found the key to the World Tree.

As for how to get the gatekeeper to help them enter the World Tree, it is even simpler.

"The gatekeeper of this World Tree should live in this house, right?" Wen Guixin pointed to a metal hut a few hundred meters ahead, "As long as we infect it and let it come under my control, we will Able to enter their world tree."

Wen Guixin's ability is completely different from her before.

Now, she can easily infect smaller advanced mutated creatures using bullets and other media.

For large creatures, such as giant beasts, the effectiveness of bullets with toxins will be greatly reduced.

However, if she can come into direct contact, she can still infect the giant beast in a much shorter time than before.

Therefore, as long as she is allowed close to and touched by an alien invader whose physical ability is not very strong, she is still confident that she will be infected.

And the invisible cloak she wore created this condition for her.

Moreover, she has been able to control her toxins. This control not only allows her to touch other people, she can also control the toxins that have been injected into other organisms.

Creatures that would have died quickly after infection were now able to survive for several hours under her control.

Of course, as long as no antidote is used, even under Wen Guixin's control, the infected creature will be exhausted within a few hours. However, if an antidote is used, the infected creature's body will be severely damaged after the toxin is removed, and it will not be able to withstand a second infection in a short period of time.

Therefore, if they control the "gatekeeper" to enter the World Tree, there will be a time limit.

You must complete the tasks in the World Tree before the gatekeeper controlled by Wen Guixin dies, and then come out of the World Tree.

But this is not a big problem for Xu Xin and the others. After all, with Xu Ying's teleportation ability, they are not independent time and space inside the World Tree. Xu Ying can take everyone to teleport directly.

But Xu Ying's current ability is not very stable, and World Tree has various abilities and restrictions. We don't know what will happen, so the time limit agreed upon by everyone is still two hours.

If that doesn't work, it's not too late to rely on Xu Ying's ability.

Everyone approached the metal house.

"嘤...嘤嘤?"

At this time, Coco, who had been very honest in Xu Xin's arms, started to move.

It twisted twice in Xu Xin's arms, struggling to jump out of Xu Xin's arms.

"Don't move." Xu Xin scolded in a low voice, "You are not allowed to leave my cloak here!"

In the factory before, even if Coco left him, there was no mechanical reaction, indicating that the little guy Coco might not attract the other party's attention.

But this is a central area, and even if Cocoa is likely not to be discovered, this little guy must not be allowed to move freely.

Everything must be done with caution, not to mention the little guy's favorite running around.

"Ugh..." Coco's big tail that was still swaying drooped, and her little head was buried.

"If you want to go tell me where you want to go, I will take you there." Xu Xin whispered.

"Hey!" Coco's little ears twitched, she raised her little head, stretched out her little paws, and pointed in another direction.

That direction is...

Another world tree?

"Can you let us go to the World Tree?" Li Wenxi whispered.

"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head.

"Our target is this World Tree." Xu Xin pointed at the World Tree that was very close at hand.

"嘤! 嘤嘤!" Coco still pointed her little paw at another tree.

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

Did they go to the wrong World Tree?

"Is the scarlet crystal in the world tree you pointed to?" Xu Xin asked.

"Huh? Huh..." Coco shook her little head, "Huh!"

Its little paws made gestures.

There seems to be something good in that World Tree, and Ke Ke hopes he can take it.

"Let's complete the current task first." Xu Xin rubbed Coco's head.

"Hey..." Coco's ears dropped slightly, and then she got into Xu Xin's arms again.

Although Xu Xin trusts Coco very much, and the little guy said that he hopes that what he takes must be good, their target now is the scarlet crystal.

Don't add extraneous branches.

"Let's continue..."

"Wait a minute, don't come closer!" Xu Xin, who Li Wenxi suddenly stretched out her hand to block, said in a low voice.

She looked at the ground, her eyes trembled slightly, and she whispered: "There are many metal objects buried underground, and they seem to have gravity sensors."

Gravity-sensitive metal object?

"Landmines?" Zeng Tao whispered, "There are actually landmines buried here?"

"I don't know, but it feels like it's a trap." Li Wenxi whispered, pointing to the ground in front of him, "There are all these things buried around this room."

As she said that, she looked at Qin Fu: "You should have noticed it too, right?"

"No." Qin Fu shook his head, "My ability is disabled when I am close to their World Tree, and I can no longer observe the surrounding situation through the nearby plants."

Metal trap?

Xu Xin felt that it was not a landmine.

The role of the doorman is to lead people into the World Tree. How could he set traps around his room?

But if it is a gravity sensing device...

Could it be a sensing device that will directly alert the "doorman" inside whenever someone steps on it?

In any case, Xu Xin and the others cannot step on these metal devices now.

"Then I will lead the way." Li Wenxi said slightly nervously, "Follow me, and you will step wherever I step."

"Sister-in-law, maybe I can take you to teleport in?" Xu Ying whispered.

Such a close distance, only a few hundred meters, even if it is not a place she has been to before, there will be no problem with her teleportation.

"No, there are all these devices inside. A group of us will definitely step on them if we go in together." Li Wenxi whispered, "And in your current state, you can use your teleportation ability if you can."

Xu Ying could only nod: "Okay..."

Everyone followed Li Wenxi, turning left and right, step by step closer to the metal room where the guard lived.

Fortunately, the group of people moved swiftly and without any accidents, they quickly arrived at the door.

The door was ajar, leaving a gap.

Xu Xin thought and took a look through the gap, and saw a piece of dark mud spread on a bed-like device.

This mud is covered with eyes all over its body, but they are all closed.

"Are you sleeping?"

Xu Xin looked at the mud.

Mu Mu seemed to sense something, and his eyes trembled slightly, slowly opened for two seconds, and then closed again.

Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the room, and nodded to everyone.
