Chapter 680 Scarlet World Tree Core

Wen Guixin and others who have already entered the world tree are still advancing in the trunk.

"Why haven't you arrived yet..." Wang Lei looked behind him from time to time.

Behind them, the road they walked has been growing forward, and the speed is basically the same as the speed at which the alien invaders erode the World Tree trees.

Their channel has also been maintained at a length of about five meters.

Wang Lei is always afraid that the healing speed of the World Tree behind will be accelerated, and they will be squeezed to death inside.

"Don't be so afraid, even if we can't get in, we can't die." Xu Ying couldn't help but rolled her eyes slightly, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"It's true..." Wang Lei rubbed his head in embarrassment.

"Speaking of which..." Qin Fu was standing at the back at this time, reaching out his hand to touch the wall that was growing and healing from time to time, "The World Tree heals very fast, even if we use nuclear weapons to attack the World Tree, our naked eyes can't capture the world. The damage to the tree will heal in an instant. Is that what you said?"

Qin Fu looked at Xu Ying.

"That's right." Xu Ying nodded, "But this is information from that time and space. That time and space was only three hundred years after the war, and now it's a thousand years after the war. It's normal to have some changes."

As she spoke, she looked at the "Slime" alien invader in front of her. At this time, Wen Guixin was touching the thin alien invader sticking to the wall and corroding forward.

Because she was afraid that the alien invader would have problems at this critical juncture, she had been controlling her toxins to deeply corrode the alien invader, preventing the alien invader from recovering a sliver of consciousness, otherwise all previous efforts might be wasted.

"The alien invaders have now invented a potion that can wither the World Tree. Isn't it normal to slow down the self-healing ability of the World Tree? What are you afraid of?" Zeng Tao said indifferently.

Although she said so, she was the person closest to Xu Ying at this time, and she even wanted to post her whole body.

The back has been growing, it's really scary!

She was afraid of a sudden surge in the back. If that was the case, she would be the closest to Xu Ying, at least she would not be left behind.

If it is wrapped in the trunk of the world tree that grows wildly...

Zeng Tao shivered slightly.

Woooo... so scary, I knew I should have been with Xu Xin and the others just now...

"How far does it take to go..." Wen Guixin already had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

For her to keep infecting a target, but also to ensure that the target is not over-infected and died, this kind of precise operation is still too difficult for her.

She is really walking on thin ice now, for fear of accidentally killing this slime alien invader.

"It should be soon." Zhao Xiaochuan looked back, "According to my estimation, it should be very close to the core area of ​​the World Tree trunk now."

"Is it the core area of ​​the World Tree trunk?" Wen Guixin cheered up, "Isn't the World Tree just a large tree house? You should remember that the trunk of the tree house is hollow, right?"

"Of course I remember." Zeng Tao replied, "Not only is it hollow, but in the soil in the hollow trunk, there is also a part of the core of the tree house buried in the ground. When we dug the core of the tree house, didn't we all dig it from the hollow?" Was it dug in the tree trunk...Huh?"

Zeng Tao's eyes widened suddenly: "Then if we continue to move forward and enter the hollow area of ​​the World Tree trunk, wouldn't we be able to see the core of the World Tree?"

Everyone is refreshed.

"Then we have to go there first..." Wen Guixin had already clenched his teeth, "Hurry up... Hurry up! Hurry up, you!"

She felt like she was losing control of the toxins injected into the alien invader's body.

If these toxins were allowed to erupt in an instant, the alien invaders would probably die in an instant.

Although they will not be trapped here, the plan will be completely disrupted, basically tantamount to wasting all previous efforts.

She doesn't want their plan to fail because she can't control her abilities well!

Wen Guixin's erosion of the alien invaders is still continuing, and the erosion of the trunk of the World Tree by the alien invaders is also continuing.

But no matter how Wen Guixin urges it, it is still eroding forward at such a fast speed, probably this is its fastest speed.

"Sister Guixin, you..." Xu Ying also noticed that Wen Guixin's expression was a bit reluctant at this time, and her complexion changed.

But she can't help much, she can only pray that Wen Guixin can persevere.

In front of him was the alien invader eroding forward, and behind him was the trunk of the World Tree growing and healing. Everyone was like a pest walking through the trunk, gnawing at the trunk, and moving forward step by step.

One meter, two meters.

Ten meters, twenty meters...

Finally, with a belated "click", the wall on which the slime-like alien invader was attached suddenly and slowly fell forward.

As the wall falls, light penetrates through the gaps created by the fall.

scarlet.

With a sound of "Boom", the wall to which the alien invaders were attached fell forward and collapsed, hit the ground, and fell apart!

And the alien invaders that had been sticking to the wall in a thin piece also bounced up the moment the wall fell to pieces, and returned to the appearance of the lump of slime before.

At the same time, all the eyes on it that had been closed before also opened, but the eyes were very dull, and all the eyes stared motionlessly at the direction the eyes were facing.

It can be clearly seen that this alien invader has no mind.

"It's finally here...!" Wen Guixin's legs gave way, and she almost sat on the ground.

This kind of delicate work is really not suitable for her...

I was exhausted, I felt that my brain cells were exhausted, and my spirit was extremely exhausted.

However, her attention was immediately attracted by the things in front of her, and she slowly opened her eyes wide.

Not only her, everyone present was shocked.

"This is... the core of World Tree?" Wang Lei muttered to himself.

That's right, what appeared in front of everyone at this time was an incomparably huge spherical crystal half buried in the soil.

Because only half of it is exposed outside the soil, everyone can only see half of the crystal ball.

Although there is only half a crystal ball, the height of this crystal ball has reached nearly twenty meters.

This is a huge crystal ball nearly forty meters in diameter!

Of course, the core of the World Tree itself should be extremely huge, and everyone is psychologically prepared for this.

But they didn't expect that the core of this world tree was not emitting a white light like their world tree.

This world tree core turned out to be a scarlet crystal!

This scarlet crystal exudes scarlet light, which illuminates the entire hollow area of ​​the World Tree in blood red.

Xu Ying looked up.

This is indeed the hollow area of ​​the World Tree trunk.

The world tree here is not the world tree with the inner space expanded a hundred times over there, so when you look up, you can see the dome of this space.

This space is about 100 meters high, which is exactly the height of the trunk under the canopy.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Wen Guixin cried out anxiously, "Don't die!"

Everyone turned their eyes away from the huge scarlet crystal in front of them, and looked at Wen Guixin, or at the alien invader she controlled.

At this moment, Wen Guixin had already placed her hand on that "slime" again.

Even though the eyes of this slime are all open now, and she pressed it directly on the two eyes, but she didn't care, instead her face was anxious and ugly.

"how……"

Before the voice of Wang Lei's inquiry fell, everyone saw that the alien invader under Wen Guixin began to dry up.

The body of the "Slime" that was originally relatively round began to dry up quickly, and the speed of drying up was unusually fast, like a balloon that was punctured, and it turned into a body on the ground within a few seconds a piece of skin.

"I..." Wen Guixin stared blankly at the skin.

She tried to step on it with her foot, and the skin shattered like a layer of crisp seaweed.

"This..." She slowly raised her head to look at the crowd, wanting to cry, but still a little helpless.

The alien invader she controlled finally couldn't resist her repeated injection of toxins into his body, and he died.

"Wow... this is too extreme!" Zeng Tao knelt down and poked the dry debris on the ground with her fingers, "If we die sooner, we won't be able to get in!"

The rest of the people looked at each other again.

He obviously waited for it to take them to the underground space, but he died directly...?

So what should they do now?

"This... what should we do now?" Wang Lei said a little helplessly.

This is not even inside the World Tree crown, but just the hollow area of ​​the World Tree trunk!

Qin Fu didn't panic, and said calmly, "Anxin, since this slime brought us here, it means there must be a way up or down here, just look for it."

It is true.

Everyone looked around.

"Anyway, let's check around first." Xu Ying said.

That's all there is to it.

"I'm sorry." Wen Guixin felt a little guilty, "If my control was stronger..."

"Ham, I'm sorry for what you said." Wang Lei waved his hand, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be able to get in. Let's take a quick look at what's around."

"Too."

At this time, Xu Ying's attention was all on the most conspicuous thing in the hollow area of ​​the tree trunk - the huge scarlet crystal located in the center of the entire area.

The eyes of other people are also focused on this huge crystal hemisphere.

"This is the core of the World Tree, right?" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed, and at the same time excited, "Why is the core of the World Tree red? Could this be the 'source of life' of the alien invaders we are looking for? "

"No way." Qin Fu looked at the scarlet crystal, "We all know that the red light emitted by the source of life is very strong, so strong that even a small piece would make people uncomfortable. We didn't come from those factories. Did you steal a lot?"

Xu Ying touched the backpack she had been carrying on this trip.

She and Xu Xin each took part, and now there are more than a dozen of those small scarlet crystals in her backpack.

"But the light emitted by this crystal is very soft. To be honest, it is quite comfortable to shine on the body." Qin Fu shrugged, "So, this cannot be what we are looking for."

Indeed.

This crystal does not look like the target they are looking for.

"But, this is the core of the World Tree, right?" Zeng Tao wondered, "Isn't the World Tree a product created using the earth's white crystal? Why is the core of this World Tree scarlet?"

"This is their base camp." Wang Lei thinks this matter is easy to explain. "Isn't it normal that their base camp is special? Maybe the World Tree gene has mutated?"

"What are you kidding..." Qin Fu was a little speechless, "This is a scarlet crystal..."

"What's going on...?" Xu Ying also thought of the problem at this time.

She felt her heart tighten.

What is a Crimson Crystal?

Is the source of life for alien invaders!

They knew before that the process of using white crystals to transform scarlet crystals is extremely cumbersome, and it cannot be realized on earth, and the white crystals must be sent back to the parent star.

Because of this, that condensed scarlet crystal is extremely precious.

Their plans are built on top of that too. Destroy the condensed scarlet crystal, and the alien invaders will lose their source of life and flee in a hurry.

But this huge, non-condensed scarlet crystal suddenly appeared in front of them, as if mocking their plan.

If the alien invaders are already able to create Crimson Crystals on Earth, their plan will be useless!

"I said, can we go home already?" Qin Fu looked at the giant scarlet crystal and felt that he had lost his motivation.

He also thought of the meaning represented by this huge scarlet crystal.

"...No, this kind of thing is impossible." Xu Ying walked towards the scarlet crystal.

It should be impossible for alien invaders to refine scarlet crystals on Earth.

There's something wrong with this giant crimson crystal!

The closer she got, the more she felt something was wrong.

Because the closer she got, the more comfortable she felt, and she even felt relaxed.

This is the characteristic of white crystal.

She walked to the huge crystal and reached out to touch the crystal.

"...This is not a scarlet crystal." She slowly relaxed her tightly locked brows, and let out a long breath, "This is the core of the normal World Tree, a clear white crystal."

"White crystal?" Zeng Tao raised his head to look at the whole crystal, "But it's red?"

Xu Ying was also a little puzzled by this.

Obviously the nature shown is completely the nature of the clear white crystal, why does it show the color of the scarlet crystal?

a little weird...

Um?

Xu Ying thought of a possibility.

Her eyes slowly opened.

"Ah, I see!" She clapped her hands, looked up at the huge crystal in front of her, and gradually backed away.

As she stepped back, gradually, the whole picture of the core of the world tree appeared in her field of vision.

After seeing the crystal as a whole again, her eyes became brighter: "I know what's going on!"

"Ah? What's going on? Isn't this a scarlet crystal?" Wen Guixin asked.

"No, of course not." Xu Ying smiled, "However, this scarlet light has something to do with our goal."

Several other people were puzzled.

What's the meaning?

"Think about it, in our world tree, where can we see the core of our world tree?" Xu Ying reminded.

"Where... the underground space?" Zeng Tao replied.

In their world tree, in the underground space, which is the control area where Ji Zhaoyang and the others are now, they can see the core of the world tree.

The underground space is an area wrapped by the roots of the world tree, and directly above the entire area, a part of the core of the world tree is exposed.

The reason why that area is very bright is the light released by the core of the world tree exposed at the dome.

The upper part of the core of the world tree is the same as the core of the tree house, which is above the ground, which is the part that Xu Ying and the others see now.

In this way, the location of the core of the world tree can be determined.

Below the core is the underground space, and the lower half of the core is exposed in the underground space. The upper part of the core is the hollow area exposed in the center of the World Tree trunk.

That is the area where they are now.

In layman's terms, the core of the world tree is stuck in the ground, the underground space is below, and the hollow area of ​​the trunk is above.

"Oh..." Qin Fu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"What kind?" Zeng Tao turned to look at him with a look of curiosity, "Why is it like this?"

"What do you think, where is the target we are looking for now?" Qin Fu asked.

"You mean the scarlet crystal? Isn't it in the underground space?" Zeng Tao pointed down.

"Oh!" Wen Guixin also understood, showing the same stunned expression, "I understand too..."

"What? Why do you all understand?" Zeng Tao looked at a loss.

"I don't understand everything, at least I don't." Zhao Xiaochuan pointed to his nose.

"I don't understand either." Wang Lei scratched his head.

Xu Ying explained to them.

The reason is actually very simple.

As I said just now, below the core of the World Tree is the underground space, and the scarlet crystal that exudes an extremely dazzling scarlet light is located in the underground space of the World Tree.

The light emitted by the scarlet crystal reversely penetrated the core of the World Tree in the dome of the underground space, turning the entire core of the World Tree into blood red.

The core of the world tree is like a lens, allowing the light of the scarlet crystal underground to pass through it to the ground, to where Xu Ying and the others are now.

Therefore, they saw such a world tree core that seemed to exude scarlet light, but was actually very normal.

As for the evidence...

Xu Ying has just observed the whole picture of the core of the World Tree. The scarlet color of the lower part near the ground is obviously heavier than that of the upper part, which confirms her conjecture.

The scarlet light is illuminated from the bottom up, and the clear white crystal is not completely transparent, naturally the lighter the color it sees through as it goes up.

By the very top, the red is already very light.

Strictly speaking, this is not a scarlet world tree core, but a gradient world tree core.

From the bottom to the top, it gradually changes from a relatively heavy scarlet to a bright white.

It's just because the whole crystal is too big, it's not easy to observe the whole picture, and everyone was shocked by the scarlet light, so they didn't notice this situation at the first time.

"That is to say, the scarlet light is actually released by the scarlet crystal?" Zeng Tao finally understood, and then said excitedly, "Then we are very close to that scarlet crystal now! The crystal is right under our feet!" I can see the light, so close!"

"Although it's right under your feet..."

Qin Fu stepped on the ground and said helplessly, "But we don't know how to get down. The guy who knew how to get down died just now."

Everyone looked around.

Yes, how should I go down?

The scarlet crystal is already close at hand.
