Chapter 683 The Scalp-Numbing “Liveliness”

This corridor is really long.

It's a little ridiculously long.

According to Xu Xin's walking test, he felt that this corridor was at least close to a kilometer in length.

You know, the length of the crown of this World Tree from one side to the other is only two kilometers.

They seemed to have passed through this corridor and passed through half of the inner space of the World Tree.

"Why is this road so long..." Li Wenxi whispered in Xu Xin's ear.

Although I said before that I shouldn't speak easily, I was talking about it after walking out of this corridor.

But who would have thought this road would be so long.

"Everyone who comes in from the outside must walk such a long road." Xu Xin said softly, "The reason...maybe it is so that other people inside World Tree can be prepared."

It takes quite a while to go from entering the World Tree to walking such a long road.

The method of entering this world tree can be used by even Xu Xin and others, which means that this world tree should be accessible to every alien invader at will.

If there are no restrictions on entry and exit, then we must work hard on the passages in and out.

The two alien invaders behind the door and this passage that is more than a kilometer long seem to be a way to detect and screen intruders.

The road is long and only leads in one direction, so it can be blocked easily.

If the person who enters is not well-intentioned, then this road may become its burial place.

If the entrant is a normal existence, then people in the World Tree can also know in advance who the visitor is.

Of course, the higher levels within the World Tree may not need to enter through this passage. Maybe there are other channels to enter, or maybe there is a teleportation device in the World Tree for high-level use, and they can teleport in directly.

"This road is really weird... It's just a long road with no facilities and no rooms on either side." Li Wenxi whispered.

Along the way, this road was very quiet and safe. They didn't even see a camera, let alone a weapon that could attack people.

This seems to be a very ordinary wooden corridor. The only things that exist in the corridor are small lights that appear every few meters, giving the corridor some light.

At this time, Lou Fei'er, who was walking in front, turned around and pointed forward.

They are almost out of this corridor.

The thick red wooden door with wooden growth rings painted on it at the end of the corridor was already only a few dozen meters away from them.

The few people were not in a hurry and were still walking forward at a steady speed.

The closer they got to the wooden door, the lighter their steps became.

No one knows what is behind the wooden door.

"Huh……?"

At this time, Li Wenxi let out a light sigh, raised her head slightly and looked diagonally upward.

Xu Xin subconsciously looked with her.

Very ordinary hallway ceiling.

But he realized in the next second that Li Wenxi must have used her ability to see something made of metal through the wall.

"Wait a moment...!" Li Wenxi stopped and called to Lou Fei'er in front of her.

Lou Feier immediately stopped.

She took a few steps back slightly and came to the two of them.

Behind him, Jin Yue also walked up in a few steps.

Xu Xin, Lou Fei'er, and Jin Yue all looked at Li Wenxi, waiting for her to explain the situation.

"Above the outside of the door in front, there are at least twenty small robots like before flying downward, and they will be at the door soon." Li Wenxi explained in a low voice, "I feel that they should all be aimed at us. Come."

Above the door?

Xu Xin's eyes moved.

Yes, the little robotic jellyfish from before can fly, but they may not necessarily walk on the road like Xu Xin and the others.

In this World Tree, I'm afraid they have their own flight channels, similar to ventilation ducts.

That's why these little robots fly from top to bottom.

"Huh..." Coco poked half of her head out of Lou Feier's arms and looked at the door.

"You mean, the robot jellyfish from before?" Lou Fei'er looked at the door, "Those three just now... have you called for help?"

The moment Lou Fei'er finished speaking, the door in front of them, which was only a few dozen meters away from them, was slowly pushed open through a gap.

Then, one by one, small mechanical jellyfish emerged from the gap and flew towards Xu Xin and the others.

The expressions of several people suddenly changed.

many!

And there are both up and down!

If they continue to stand like this, they are likely to collide with the oncoming mechanical jellyfish swarm!

It’s not possible to stand against the wall. The mechanical streamers of these mechanical jellyfish may scratch them, and they may be too exposed!

"Get down." Xu Xin whispered, then slowly squatted down, and then slowly lay down.

The three women also imitated his example and slowly lay on the ground.

A few seconds after several people lay down, the mechanical jellyfish flying at the front passed over the four people.

And just after it passed a few people and a few meters away, it suddenly stopped and turned around in a circle.

"Beep-beep-?"

It seemed to sense something was not right.

But then, the small mechanical jellyfish from behind also flew over, passing above several people, surpassing the small mechanical jellyfish in the front.

"Beep——"

The little mechanical jellyfish, which seemed to have discovered something unusual, was not willing to lag behind and chased after it.

At this time, Xu Xin slowly turned over and looked up.

It happened that a small mechanical jellyfish flew by relatively close to the ground, and the swaying streamer was only a dozen centimeters away from Xu Xin's face.

Xu Xin immediately held his breath.

So close again!

Moreover, this time, thanks to this small mechanical jellyfish, it flew over him at a relatively fast speed.

Because the speed is relatively fast, the mechanical limb ribbon below swings backwards.

If it wasn't swinging like this, but hanging vertically, those mechanical limbs might have touched his nose just now!

On the side, Li Wenxi, who was lying next to him and looking sideways at him, widened his eyes and covered his mouth.

Xu Xin turned her head slightly, gave her a reassuring look, and then continued to look up.

He carefully observed these small mechanical jellyfish.

He discovered that these small mechanical jellyfish seemed to be somewhat similar to the small drones made by machine tools that they had seen in peripheral factories, which were the spherical drones that self-destructed and destroyed the factory at that time.

The main bodies of these small jellyfish are flat ellipsoids, but the materials look exactly the same, and they are all round.

…won’t these little jellyfish also explode themselves?

What do so many little mechanical jellyfish want to do when they rush over together?

Xu Xin held her breath and waited for these small mechanical jellyfish to fly above him one by one.

Fortunately, their number was not very large. In less than a minute, more than twenty small mechanical jellyfish had flown over several people and penetrated deep into the corridor they had walked through before.

Xu Xin sat up from the ground and looked back with a frown.

Li Wenxi also stood up, climbed up from the ground, and whispered: "It doesn't matter now, at least there are no fast-moving metal objects ahead."

Lou Feier and Jin Yue also stood up.

Xu Xin took a deep look behind her.

"We must be more careful. The alien invaders in this World Tree may have begun to be on high alert."

The reason is naturally that someone entered the World Tree through mutated vines. Four mutated vines even moved and sent four lives into the World Tree, but they did not discover who entered the World Tree.

For them, who have been closely monitoring the entry and exit of World Tree, this is probably a rare situation in a thousand years.

Moreover, it is still under this tense situation.

Now, the army here is all out, and there is no longer any protection from the troops stationed here.

The alien invaders in this world tree were probably on high alert before Xu Xin and the others arrived.

Because under the current tense situation, the forces opposing them are likely to take the opportunity to invade this place.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if they just shut down the permission to enter and exit the World Tree at will?" Lou Fei'er asked in a low voice, wondering.

"Perhaps it cannot be closed. The authority of the World Tree may only be owned by the owner of the World Tree, that is, their leader." Xu Xin said softly, "Or, they want to use this method as a bait to lure against them. individual."

After Xu Xin and the others came in, they still didn't know how to get out. The only way they could go was this long corridor.

And with this corridor, it is impossible for those who enter this World Tree to escape their surveillance.

Only Xu Xin and the others are exceptions.

Xu Xin and the others did not escape their surveillance, they just allowed them to treat them as insignificant and insignificant existences.

The cameras must have captured them, but even if the other party saw them, they would pretend they didn't see them and just ignore them. This is the super effect of [The Invisible Man's Cloak].

"It's time for us to leave." Xu Xin whispered, "After you get out, try not to speak."

Lou Feier nodded and walked forward with Coco.

The door was only a dozen meters away from Xu Xin and the others, and it was only a few steps away.

The door was not closed, but was left ajar, maintaining the same appearance as when the mechanical jellyfish came in.

Just enough for Xu Xin and others to pass the body test.

However, Lou Fei'er did not directly get out sideways, but looked out from this gap.

Then, the three people behind him saw Lou Feier's body trembling.

She slowly turned her head, her expression was mournful.

It seems that there is something scary outside.

But even if there is something outside, they have to get out. They can't stay here and not get out, right?

Xu Xin pointed at herself and signaled, should he go out first?

Lou Feier shook her head.

The door was not a place for communication. Xu Xin could only point to the cloak of the Invisible Man that he was wearing again, indicating that there was a cloak of the Invisible Man and there was no need to be afraid.

Lou Fei'er nodded slightly, turned to look out the door, bit her lip, and got out of the open gap.

Two seconds later, her hand appeared in front of the door, making an OK gesture.

Xu Xin nodded to Li Wenxi, and then slipped out through the crack in the door.

Li Wenxi followed closely behind.

Jin Yue, who was always paying attention to the situation behind her, saw Xu Xin and the others getting out. She took one last look at the quiet depths of the corridor, then checked herself out and got out.

Outside the door, there is no longer a corridor.

The field of view outside the door is very wide, so wide that Xu Xin and others did not expect it at all.

It was so wide that Xu Xin and the others could see the entire inside of the World Tree.

What surprised Xu Xin and others was that there were no rooms at all inside the World Tree, but simply...

A large space.

There is no first or second floor, it is just a large space.

It's just like……

It was like entering a large villa with no decoration at all.

Looking around, you can see the boundaries of the inner space of the World Tree, and looking up, you can see the ceiling of the World Tree.

But this space is very bright.

and……

It turned out to be a bit... "lively".

The current location of Xu Xin and the others is almost in the middle of the inner space of the World Tree.

And all around them, at a glance, there were hundreds of alien invaders.

A body as black as ink, countless eyes that make people feel anchored and horrified, and various strange shapes.

There were slime types they had seen before, and there were types with bumpy bodies that looked like they were covered in pustules.

There are also types that are covered with rhythmic tentacles, with a swinging eye at the top of each tentacle.

...It's like a puddle of black mud covered with huge snail eyes.

This is simply the most unacceptable appearance, and it really makes people want to take a deep breath.

But the four of them, Xu Xin, held back.

Because a gasp is likely to be noticed.

They have entered a den of thieves...

Xu Xin looked at the little guy with two eyes exposed in Lou Fei'er's arms and wanted to pull it up by its tail.

Where did this take them?

If they were in various corridors and rooms, they could still hide around.

In this open space, there are such terrifying alien invaders from all directions...

This is simply a violent mental blow to people!

Li Wenxi beside him had already grabbed his arm, and his body was shaking a little.

Not to mention her, even Xu Xin felt her body shaking a little.

In all directions, they are surrounded by thousands of terrifying monsters that can only make people feel physically uncomfortable, and each of these monsters is probably very powerful. Even if there are only a few, Xu Xin and the others may not be able to deal with them.

In this case, who wouldn’t be afraid?

At this time, Lou Fei'er, who was leading the charge, also looked at Xu Xin helplessly.

Now there is no front line to fight, because there are alien invaders from all directions.

Fortunately, these alien invaders did not notice them.

Not many of the dense eyes in all directions were looking at them.

Xu Xin calmed down her pounding heartbeat, regained her mentality, and carefully looked at the surrounding situation.

They are not very close to Xu Xin and the others, the nearest one is only fifty or sixty meters away.

But there are just too many.

"Um……?"

Xu Xin discovered that some alien invaders had a bunch of objects in front of them.

And some alien invaders are walking through it.

Xu Xin suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

This is……

……market?

A bazaar for alien invaders?

He looked carefully again and found that it was indeed the case.

Many alien invaders have a mat of unknown material spread in front of them, and the mat is filled with strange and weird objects.

Some alien invaders stretched out a tentacle with several eyes from their dark bodies, "picked up" the object, and looked at it carefully with their eyes.

…Isn’t this just a market?

Xu Xin also discovered that in the sky above the "market", countless small jellyfish robots like before were flying and shuttled, observing the situation of the "market" below.

Well...it turns out that these little jellyfish don't have their own dedicated passage, but there is a lot of space here where they can fly directly!

Xu Xin looked around again, and the objects on the mat attracted his attention.

He turned on identification mode.

Most of the objects don't even emit light. They may have no value, or they may be too rare and are not in the database of his identification mode.

And a small part...

They are all exuding golden colors!

No blue, no purple.

As long as there is color, it is golden!

Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.

All treasures!

This place... couldn't be an "antique market" for alien invaders, right?

etc……

Xu Xin looked at the little guy who was already in Lou Feier's arms and was about to move.

The things it said Xu Xin needed were not in this "market", right?

Isn't it... a little too lively here?

It’s so lively that it makes one’s scalp numb…

They... want to enter the group of alien invaders and visit the alien invaders' "bazaar"?

hehe……
