Chapter 693 Artillery Fire Filling the Underground Space!
"It's so dark..." Li Wenxi whispered, "Should we turn on a light? If we turn on the light, will this machine detect it?"
"Then don't open it. They should all have red berries, right? Just eat one and you'll be fine." Wen Guixin said in the darkness.
"It seems reasonable, then..."
"Hey, hey, let's say goodbye, right?" Qin Fu quickly stopped him, "Red berries strengthen night vision. The principle is that people's eyes can accept light sources more easily, right? Now that you have eaten red berries, you have strengthened night vision." Depends on your ability, will you be able to get out later?"
Xu Xin also said: "I think so too. It's better not to give it up. Why not just leave it like this for now."
Xu Ying was looking around: "My night vision is not bad, but I can see roughly. From my observation, there are no attack weapons here, but there are at least ten. Surveillance, filming all directions of this small room without blind spots.”
A small room about the same size as a bedroom actually has more than a dozen surveillance cameras...
"What do you think this place is?" Lou Fei'er asked in the darkness, "The alien invader just poured those scarlet crystal fragments into this machine..."
"Not sure. But the monster might know."
Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin.
At this time, Xu Ying took off the bracelet and put it into Li Wenxi's hand: "Wenxi, take me in, and I'll go talk to it. Five minutes, let me out in five minutes."
"Oh, okay." Li Wenxi nodded lightly and immediately touched Xu Xin with her bracelet.
Then, Xu Xin's eyes changed from darkness to a whole white space.
"Hey!"
When everyone was put into their bracelets before, they also put Cocoa in them. But as soon as Xu Xin came in, Cocoa jumped on him.
Xu Xin rubbed Coco's little head.
I haven't let Coco out before because I felt that they were slipping and jumping, and the movements were very big. If Coco wasn't caught properly in his cloak and fell out, it would be bad.
"Do you want me to take action?" The monster's hoarse voice sounded from behind Xu Xin.
He looked back and saw that the monster was sitting cross-legged on the ground like a human. Most of its eyes were closed. Only the two eyes on its face were open and looking at Xu Xin.
It is covered with the cloak of the Invisible, as if it is ready to be released at any time.
"Yes." Xu Xin walked to it and sat down as well, "The current situation..."
He told the monster briefly about the situation.
"Oh, I see."
The monster pondered for a moment.
"You guessed it right. The seven-eight-meter-tall machine you saw is a scarlet crystal storage and processing machine. It is also the exit of this underground space."
"If the alien invaders who cut the scarlet crystal there want to get out, they will enter another larger opening and be brought to the ground by machinery."
"Moreover, if you are discovered, the entrance above will be closed immediately. If you want to get out, you can only use that machine. But it is impossible for that machine to take you out. You will only die if you enter the machine."
Xu Xin understood clearly: "So, without Xu Ying's ability, if we were discovered after entering, we would be directly sealed in and unable to get out."
The defense here is really tight.
If the cutting workers want to get out, they must enter this machine.
From this point of view, the purpose of this machine's daily existence, in addition to storing scarlet crystals, is probably more to check the bodies of those cutting workers who are about to leave here to see if they carry some scarlet crystals privately on their bodies to avoid smuggling.
In this way, it can be ensured that the scarlet crystal will not leak out at all.
"That's it." The monster stood up, "I know the situation. Let me out. I will help you attract those small machines away, and you can continue to complete your plan."
"You seem to be very calm." Xu Xin raised his head and looked at it and said, "This is the final stage of your plan. If this plan can succeed..."
"This group of invaders can be driven out of your planet." The monster's mouth cracked, as if smiling, "I have been thinking a lot here alone, and I have long expected this moment to come. The only thing I didn't expect was that you would move so fast."
Xu Xin's eyes moved.
Just now, it actually called itself "a person".
Is this a change in mentality?
Forget it, judging from the current situation, we can only believe it.
"Whether this plan can be completed depends on you." Xu Xin also stood up and extended his hand to it.
The monster was obviously startled.
It has thoroughly studied human behavior and civilization, and he knows that shaking hands is a etiquette between humans.
But I didn't expect that Xu Xin would want to shake hands with it.
The two sides obviously dislike each other very much.
However, its mouth opened wider, and it held Xu Xin's hand with the hand that had closed its eyes.
"No, the key is still with you. But don't worry, I will lure those things away."
"Hey..." Coco poked a little head out of Xu Xin's cloak, blinked as the monster held Xu Xin's hand.
Xu Xin smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to say something, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
From a bright white, it turned into pitch black.
Five minutes were up, and Li Wenxi released him from the bracelet.
"How was it?" Li Wenxi handed the bracelet back to him, "How was the discussion?"
"Hey!" Coco yelled softly.
"Yeah, Coco is out too?"
Xu Xin said softly: "This machine..."
Xu Xin told them the function of this machine, and then said: "This machine is of little significance to us. However, if it can be destroyed, it must be destroyed. There should be a lot of scarlet crystal fragments preserved in this machine. .”
If you have to do it, do it.
Most of the scarlet crystals that have been cut before have been consumed by the four giant ships, and now all the newly cut ones should be in this machine.
As long as this big scarlet crystal and this machine are completely destroyed, their mission will be completed.
"You think, should we leave some for them?" Zeng Tao's voice sounded from the darkness, "If it's all gone, wouldn't they even have the ability to go back?"
If all the scarlet crystals are gone, their giant ship will not be able to start, and naturally they will not be able to return.
"Wouldn't that be better?" Wen Guixin asked, "Let these bastards die on earth and don't go back!"
"Well, that makes sense, as long as they don't fight back before death." Xu Ying said.
"What are you afraid of? Let's live directly in the World Tree in the ocean and see if they dare to fight back."
Xu Xin was helpless: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Okay, get everything ready, I'm going to release it. You must be careful."
"Do not worry."
"Let it go."
"I'm ready!"
Xu Xin took a deep breath and turned the bracelet.
Then, the monster appeared directly in front of them.
Xu Xin's eyes have adapted to the darkness, and his eyesight has also been enhanced, and he can almost see the general outline in the darkness.
As soon as the monster came out, his pupils suddenly shrank: "How did you..."
Why aren't you wearing the cloak of the Invisible? !
Was it still wearing it when it was clearly inside?
Although he wanted to say this, his words were interrupted by an extremely harsh alarm sound.
“——————”
Along with the piercing siren, this small space was immediately completely illuminated by the emerald green light that flashed frequently around!
At the same time, several laser-like emerald green lights hit the monster directly.
There are more than a dozen cameras in this room. If it doesn't come out wearing the cloak of the Invisible, of course it will be discovered immediately!
"My situation is special. In this location, I will definitely be discovered whether or not I wear the cloak of the Invisible." The monster quickly explained, "Why don't you teleport out quickly and look over there."
It raised its twisted arms, which were longer than its legs, and pointed at the wall of World Tree roots.
That wall is slowly opening!
And from the loose gap, Xu Xin and others saw the black muzzle in the red light!
It's broken, those muzzles are coming!
Damn it, aren't they afraid of damaging this machine?
At this time, Xu Xin's arm was grabbed by Xu Ying, and she also grabbed Li Wenxi's arm: "You guys, grab me, I'm about to teleport!"
The piercing sirens drowned out Xu Ying's voice, but her actions made others understand what she was going to do next, and they all hurriedly grabbed her.
Then, a purple-black vortex appeared beneath everyone's feet.
"give it to me."
The moment they fell into the purple-black vortex, the monster's hoarse and unpleasant voice reached their ears.
Then, they appeared on top of the scarlet crystal.
Appeared around the hole that Zhao Xiaochuan was digging.
At this time, the small mechanical jellyfish in the sky no longer circled around the scarlet crystal very quickly as before, but collectively flew towards the opening wall and hovered in the sky in front of the wall.
At the same time, their bodies also lit up with flashing green warning lights.
"...What's the situation now?"
Zhao Xiaochuan asked cautiously as his head was exposed in the pothole.
At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan had stopped cutting. Outside the pit, Wang Lei and Jin Yue looked solemnly at the place where the small scarlet jellyfish gathered.
Jin Yue has also turned off the silencer device in her hand.
"The monster was released. It will help us attract these small mechanical jellyfish." Zeng Tao explained, and then said a little less confidently, "But... can it succeed? How is it going to attract all these small mechanical jellyfish? ah?"
"Huh..." Coco poked her head out of Xu Xin's arms and tilted her head, "Huh?"
"It's unrealistic to lure them all away, but as long as you can help us share some of the burden..." Before Xu Ying could finish her words, the surroundings changed dramatically!
Countless turrets suddenly fired, blasting towards the half-open root wall of the World Tree!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!"
The light of the fire pales in comparison to the light of the scarlet crystal, but the deafening sound kept ringing in this closed space the size of a football field, making everyone's heads buzz.
At the same time, cannonballs continued to fly over the heads of several people, blasting towards the half-open wall.
The turret close to the wall blasted directly at the wall, while the turret separated by a scarlet crystal was like a mortar, causing the shells to strike in a parabola in the air!
For a moment, the entire underground space was filled with cannonballs flying towards the wall at high speed!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!"
There was a constant roar.
Under the scarlet crystal, the three alien invaders who were working stopped working and trembled in place.
This sudden scene seemed to frighten the three of them.
At this time, Xu Xin's arm was grabbed.
It’s Li Wenxi.
She said something loudly to Xu Xin, looking anxious, but because there was roaring all around at this time, she pointed her finger in the opposite direction of the bombing position.
Xu Xin couldn't hear it at all and could only look in the direction she pointed with her finger.
Then his eyelids twitched.
I saw that in that direction, the wall composed of the roots of the World Tree was slowly loosening!
There is actually a room over there!
What could be in there?
At this time, the roar of the artillery shells had begun to become much sparser.
Because the small space where the monster was located had been attacked enough times, thick gunpowder smoke filled the cave entrance. Through the gunpowder smoke, Xu Xin and the others could vaguely see the damaged roots of the world tree that had been bombarded around the cave entrance.
But in the blink of an eye, a second after the cannonballs stopped attacking, the somewhat damaged root system of the World Tree had been completely repaired.
Xu Xin looked back again, and there was another hole there.
Under the dazzling light of the scarlet crystal, the cave can be seen at a glance.
The objects in the cave reflected the luster of metal, and seemed to be another huge machine.
...same thing?
No……
This machine...how does it feel like it's moving?
"Zhou Cao! Is that guy so strong!"
Wang Lei's voice drew Xu Xin's eyes back here again.
Most of the gunpowder smoke at the entrance of the cave has dissipated, and everyone can see clearly everything in the cave they were in just now through the gunpowder smoke.
The monster was standing at the entrance of the cave, unharmed.
The eyes on the body are still open, and the mouth is split to the back of the head. It looks like an alien that is about to emerge from the smoke, and it is full of oppression.
It comes out of the hole.
The fort did not continue to attack, probably because the person controlling the fort felt that the power of the fort could not cause any harm to the monster.
"later……!"
Li Wenxi's voice sounded.
Everyone immediately looked back subconsciously.
I saw that inside the fully opened hole at the rear, there were already more than a dozen... jet black pipes protruding?
Then, more than a dozen plumes of extremely rich scarlet smoke were released from the pipe!
"Isn't that the red mist!" Lou Feier shouted in surprise.
She is very familiar with this thing!
She was still addicted to red mist at the beginning.
At the same time, a series of "clicking" sounds came from the entrance to the core of the World Tree above them.
Looking up again, I saw that the entrance had disappeared.
It's closed!
Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Is this going to be shrouded in red mist?
"Don't be afraid." Xu Ying spoke at this time to calm people's hearts.
"If you are exposed to red light and inhaled red mist at the same time, it will indeed accelerate mutation and be directly controlled. I am afraid that alien invaders will not be an exception. But not only do we have protective films on our bodies, but we are also people who have been injected with genetic agents , this method will not work for us.”
At the same time, she looked at the monster at the entrance of the cave.
"I don't know what it will do."
