Chapter 678 A Puddle of Mud as Dark as Ink

The alien invader inside is sleeping.

Xu Xin tried to touch the ajar door, but no alarm was triggered.

He exerted a little force, but found that the door did not move at all.

He frowned slightly and applied force again, but he could only make the door move a little.

Why is this door so difficult to open?

However, since it can be moved a little bit, it means that it can be opened directly as long as the strength is strong enough.

"I'll do it." Wang Lei whispered behind Xu Xin, "I'm strong."

Xu Xin took a few steps back. Wang Lei walked to the door and looked at the dark mud inside. The corners of his eyes trembled slightly. Then he grabbed the door frame, inserted his fingers into the gap, took a deep breath, and began to exert force. !

The door opened slowly under his pull.

"Squeak——"

There was friction between the metal door and the metal door frame, making a very harsh and unpleasant sound!

Wang Lei was suddenly startled, and his hand holding the door frame suddenly retracted.

Everyone held their breath.

But everything was very quiet.

Xu Xin took a few steps forward and looked in through the enlarged crack in the door.

I saw that puddle of mud still lying on the "bed", his eyes had not been opened, and he was still sleeping soundly.

No reaction at all.

Sleeping like this?

Although Xu Xin was surprised, she knew it was a good thing and winked at Wang Lei.

"I'm here to help, too." Behind him, Zeng Tao came over and whispered.

She is also very strong. Although she is not as strong as Wang Lei, she is still much stronger than the others present.

And she can make herself super heavy, using her weight to pull doors open like a tug-of-war.

Xu Xin nodded slightly and made way for her.

He didn't know why, but he felt that his condition was not very good.

Just...a little tired and a little sleepy.

It shouldn't be...

Is there something fishy about this room?

"Do you two have any special feelings?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice to the two people who had already grabbed the door and were about to use force.

"Special feeling? Nothing." Wang Lei shook his head.

"Ah? I don't think so either..." Zeng Tao's face was filled with confusion.

Xu Xin gave them an OK gesture, indicating that you should continue.

Wang Lei and Zeng Tao looked at each other.

"Three, two, one..." Wang Lei counted down quietly.

Then the two of them exerted force at the same time!

With the strength of the two people, the door was slowly opened again.

This time the speed was much faster than last time. It only took two seconds to open a gap that a person could enter sideways.

"Squeak——"

But at the same time, there was also a louder harsh friction sound!

The two of them were so shocked that they let go at the same time.

Fortunately, the door does not rebound, and the position of the opened body does not change.

Xu Xin looked inside again.

The sound just now, at such a close distance, could even be said to be huge.

But despite such a huge noise, the alien invader inside still didn't react at all, and just slumped there, as if dead.

Of course, it couldn't be dead, because its mud-like body was still heaving weakly.

Wang Lei and Zeng Tao both breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's enough size." Xu Xin whispered.

The two nodded and then stepped back.

Next is Wen Guixin's task.

"Wait a moment, there is something unusual here, let me..."

Xu Xin felt more and more that her condition was not good, and she felt like falling asleep.

It seemed like he had only felt this way before...

Tsk.

He immediately looked down at Coco, who was nestled in his cloak.

The little guy didn't know when he had fallen asleep. He was still biting the cloak in his mouth and holding on to it with his little paws.

With this action, even if it fell asleep, it was still firmly nestled in Xu Xin's arms.

"Is it this little guy...?"

This little guy has a special ability, that is, when it sleeps, it will affect the spirits of the people around it, causing everyone around it to fall into a deep sleep.

Just like Xu Xin now.

Sleepy……

He shook his head to drive away the sleepiness in his mind, and forced himself to cheer up.

This little guy actually influenced him at this critical moment!

He was about to reach out and give the little guy a little blow to wake it up.

But then he thought of something, his eyes moved, and he stopped what he was doing.

He looked at the alien invader in the room who was sleeping soundly and was not awakened by such a loud noise just now.

Why did that guy sleep so hard?

"Could it be that...it's also because of Coco?"

Xu Xin looked at the little guy huddled up in his arms.

It feels...very possible!

Otherwise, how could a "doorman" responsible for the entry and exit of World Tree sleep so soundly?

"What's wrong?" At this time, Li Wenxi came to Xu Xin's side and asked with concern in a low voice, "What problem did you find?"

Xu Xin shook her head and whispered: "No, it's nothing, it's not a problem, um... are you sleepy?" Xu Xin whispered in Li Wenxi's ear.

"Sleepy? Are you not sleepy..." The confusion in Li Wenxi's eyes seemed to be saying to Xu Xin: Why do you ask?

Xu Xin was thoughtful.

It must indeed be Cocoa.

But Li Wenxi and others were not affected...

Coco's ability is really strong.

It was obviously still alive and kicking just now, trying to jump out of his arms, but now, it fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

Under such circumstances, he could fall asleep instantly. Xu Xin didn't believe that this little guy didn't fall asleep on purpose.

This little guy must have entered sleep on his own, specifically to influence this alien invader.

Because it was purposeful sleep, the little guy's strange hypnotic ability only affected the alien invaders in the room, but did not affect the surrounding explorers.

Except of course Xu Xin.

Xu Xin was affected and felt tired and sleepy, probably because he was holding Ke Ke and Ke Ke had direct contact with him.

However, he was just a little sleepy, which was incomparable to the puddle of mud in the room where he was almost asleep.

After figuring this out, he felt more energetic.

Coco is really his treasured red panda.

Xu Xin glanced at the sleeping Coco in her arms and wanted to touch it, but she still retracted her hand.

It would be bad if the little guy wakes up by touching him.

Although sleepiness swept through his mind, he was still able to persevere.

He took a few steps back, gave way to the door that had been opened a little, and gave Wen Guixin a wink.

Wen Guixin nodded, took a deep breath, and walked up.

To enter a metal room with only such a gap, it would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.

Who knows if after she goes in, this hard-to-pull door will suddenly close, locking her in?

What she is doing now is equivalent to going deep into the tiger's den.

But only she can do this, and she can't give up.

"I'm with you." Xu Ying followed Wen Guixin and whispered, "If there is any problem, I will take you out immediately."

"That's fine." Wen Guixin nodded immediately.

With Xu Ying as a guarantee, she no longer hesitated and immediately slipped in through the gap.

Xu Ying followed closely behind.

Xu Xin thought for a while, looked at Coco in her arms, then made a gesture to the people outside asking them to wait outside, and then got in sideways.

Although it was of no use for him to get in, the cocoa in his arms was of great use.

With this sleeping little guy here, the alien invaders can stay asleep like this, and their actions will be smoother.

After entering, Xu Xin saw the whole interior.

It was a very small room, even the size of an average residential bedroom.

There is basically nothing inside, only a metal "bed" and a metal table. There is a small raised device on the table that I don't know what it does, and there is nothing else worth noting.

Xu Xin's entry surprised Wen Guixin and Xu Ying.

Xu Ying stared at him and pointed at him, meaning: Why did you come in?

They were now less than two meters away from this pool of dark mud, and they really didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that it would hear something and be awakened.

Xu Xin pointed to Coco in her arms, and then pointed to the sleeping alien invader.

Wen Guixin and Xu Ying were both smart people. Although they were confused for a few seconds, they both understood what Xu Xin wanted to say.

They all know about Coco's ability, especially in the past few months living in the World Tree, all of them have been affected by Coco's ability.

The two of them opened their eyes wide, looking at Coco in Xu Xin's arms, and then turned to look at the alien invaders.

If they weren't afraid to speak at this distance, they would really be amazed.

Coco, this little guy, is so powerful that he can even affect alien invaders!

Xu Xin pointed to the mud lying on the bed and signaled Wen Guixin to move faster.

He also didn't know how long Coco's ability could last. It would change later, so it would be better to complete it as soon as possible.

Wen Guixin looked at the dark mud, frowned, and curled her mouth slightly, clearly showing disgust.

However, there was no hesitation in the movement of her hand, and she directly reached out and pressed it on the puddle of mud.

The moment she pressed on the mud, the dark mud trembled suddenly, and then began to squirm.

Even the eyelids of dozens or hundreds of eyes all over the body began to tremble slightly.

Xu Xin could see that the corners of Wen Guixin's mouth had begun to twitch, her eyelids were beating, and her body even leaned back a little.

It's not her fault. The black mud under her hands was so squirming and trembling that even Xu Xin felt a sense of physical discomfort just looking at it.

...This is indeed a bit disgusting.

Xu Ying even reached out and grabbed Wen Guixin and Xu Xin's arms.

If something happens, she will immediately take the two of them and teleport out.

Another half of his body leaned through the crack in the door behind him.

It's Lou Feier.

She was a little worried when she saw Xu Xin getting in, so she got in to take a look.

When Xu Xin saw her coming in, she waved her hand and told her to get out quickly.

It's too dangerous for her to stick half of her body in like this!

It would be terrible if the door suddenly closed.

However, with Lou Fei'er's speed, she can avoid it as long as she closes the door very quickly. That's why she dared to make such an action, but this was really frightening to Xu Xin.

Lou Fei'er glanced at Wen Guixin's hand pressing on the monster, blinked, took a breath, and retracted her head.

It seemed that she also found the monster's current state to be a bit disgusting.

Xu Xin also turned to look at the alien invader.

This alien invader is actually more pleasing to the eye than the one they blew up in the factory before.

The alien invader had raised bumpy tentacles all over its body, and its eyes were in the gaps between the bumps. It really looked like a monster.

But this one, the body is relatively smooth.

It's a bit like a large slime that's always dark and inky.

Of course, there are eyes all over him.

Xu Xin remembered what Xu Ying had told them before about the alien invaders.

"The individual differences of each alien invader are very large. Even to humans, each of them looks different and strange."

It seems so, indeed.

Just the appearance of the two alien invaders they saw was so different that they even felt like they were not the same species.

The only thing the two have in common is their pitch-black bodies and eyes all over their bodies.

With such a huge difference in appearance, it's a good thing they can find the half-human, half-alien invader monster ugly...

However, it seems to make sense.

The alien invader covered with pimples worked in the outermost factory of this area, and this "black slime" was the gatekeeper of the World Tree.

The status of the two is probably very different, and the huge gap in appearance may be normal.

An alien invader with the same appearance as this black slime might have a higher status.

Xu Xin winked at Wen Guixin and pointed to the mud on the bed.

He wanted to ask how long it would take for Wen Guixin to completely control the alien invaders.

Wen Guixin gestured to him with three fingers.

Need three more minutes?

should be.

It can't be three hours.

Counting the previous few minutes, if she wanted to infect an alien invader, she would need to touch its body for ten minutes to succeed.

At this time, Xu Xin's heart sank slightly.

You know, even high-level mutated organisms can be easily infected if Wen Guixin can touch them now.

Alien Invaders actually takes ten minutes...

Alien invaders are so much stronger than advanced mutated creatures? !

……No.

It shouldn't be that much stronger. The monster said that the alien invaders relied on technology to conquer the universe, rather than physical ability. Their transformation of the body mainly focused on extending life span, and the actual physical ability was not very strong.

The reason why alien invaders are so difficult to be infected is because Wen Guixin's toxins are mental toxins, and the nervous systems of alien invaders are different from most life on earth. Their nervous systems are spread throughout the body and are very dispersed, so they cannot Easy to control.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay!" At this time, Wen Guixin whispered happily, "It turned out to be so smooth!"

"Is it done?" Xu Ying stared at the mud on the bed with her eyes wide open, "Can you control it already?"

Xu Xin rubbed her eyes and then tried to open them.

"Is it over? If it's over, I'll wake up Coco, otherwise I'll really fall asleep." Xu Xin felt like her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

He didn't dare to put Coco down, fearing that it would be discovered if it left his cloak, so he could only hold on like this.

"Okay, wake up Coco." Wen Guixin said confidently.

Xu Xin immediately tugged on Coco's big tail.

"Huh...?" Ke Keba chirped twice and opened his eyes.

Then it looked at the alien invader on the "bed" and tilted its little head: "Huh?"

It's like asking: "Is it over?"

This little guy really did it on purpose.

What an outrageous ability.

And when Coco woke up, the mud on the bed slowly gathered, and from a limp piece, it gradually formed a shapely body.

The eyes all over its body slowly opened.

Then, it squirmed and moved like a slime and climbed out of the bed.

This alien invader is not small. Even if it moves on the ground like a slime, its overall height is almost the same as Xu Xin, and even half a head taller than Wen Guixin and Xu Ying.

It's like an ooze monster standing upright.

Then, a bulge bulged outward from its squirming body, and a hand stretched out, pointing toward the door.

Then it crawled toward the door.

Several people at the door were peeking inside, and when they saw the "ooze monster" moving towards the door, they immediately dispersed, leaving the door open to the ooze monster who wanted to go out.

Arriving at the door, the "Ooze Monster" was like a mollusk. Its body, which was much larger and thicker than the gap, slipped directly out of the gap. It was as smooth as silk, without any obstruction, and looked extremely soft.

Xu Xin seemed to understand why the door had only opened a small gap at the beginning, and it was so difficult to open.

Perhaps for this "ooze monster", even if it was just a small gap, it could come in and out at will.

For it, it is already open.

Xu Xin and the other three also walked out.

"What's going on now?" Qin Fu, who was leaning at the door, asked.

"I let it take us into the World Tree." Wen Guixin followed the controlled monster, "Follow it, it will faithfully complete my orders."

Finally, it’s time to enter the World Tree.
