Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 700 The Extravagant Alien Invader Leader

At this time, on the other side of the world.

Xu Xin and Xu Ying have been quietly searching inside the World Tree for a long time.

The two of them were wearing cloaks of the Invisible, and Xu Ying had the ability to teleport at any time, so they were almost free.

The two of them had gained almost nothing just now.

The feeling this World Tree gives them is...

It's so safe.

This safety is not for the two of them, but for the alien invaders living in this world tree.

The situation outside was already so serious. Their leader activated four giant ships to leave, and the monsters set off countless alarms, putting so many alien invaders and various military facilities below on full alert.

Inside this world tree, there is actually...

So peaceful.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The two encountered at least dozens of alien invaders along the way.

These alien invaders are different from the World Tree that Xu Xin went to before and the alien invaders who set up stalls.

The alien invaders here are almost all species with very smooth bodies.

The body is not covered with pimples or tentacles, but the whole body is as smooth as a slime, like a slime with eyes all over the body.

It's basically the same as the guard who died in Wen Guixin's hands before.

These alien invaders seemed to have no idea what was happening outside and lived very leisurely in this World Tree.

No, not as if, they just don't know.

Because Xu Xin used her mind-reading ability to read the voices of the alien invaders they encountered.

Although Xu Xin could not read the alien invaders clearly due to their disordered nervous system, he could still get a general idea.

Almost all are... ordinary small talk topics.

No sense of tension.

Even the movements of the alien invaders in this world tree were much more elegant than the alien invaders he had encountered before.

Xu Xin was basically certain that these alien invaders didn't even know that the hollow area in the crown of the World Tree was already preparing for war.

They are like a group of nobles living in a deep palace, without caring about worldly affairs.

"Brother, look at that one!"

Xu Ying tugged Xu Xin's arm, pointed at an alien invader not far away and whispered.

The two of them are now in a space full of strange plants.

Here, some look like miniature versions of those terrifying plants in their underground world.

Tall and low plants grow intertwined together, forming a scene that... looks a bit eerie and scary.

Because the overall color of these plants is not green, but dark red.

And each one of them was swaying slightly in the windless world tree space, obviously they were all alive.

Obviously, this is not a species on Earth.

Perhaps it was brought from the home planet of alien invaders, or perhaps it was created by them genetically modifying Earth's plants.

Even these things that obviously move by themselves need to be considered whether they should be called "plants".

Among these slightly swaying dark red "plants", there are still some roads that have been opened.

It's said to be a road, but it's actually just the ground paved with very thick vines, so no plants grow here.

And on these "roads", there are many alien invaders... walking.

Yes, this place was actually built by alien invaders inside this World Tree, a "park" that belongs to them.

This "park" is very large, almost the same as a normal park, and the height of the entire park space is nearly twenty meters.

In this park, there are more than a dozen alien invaders taking a walk.

Maybe more. Because Xu Xin could see a dozen of them at a glance.

And the alien invader Xu Ying was referring to just now is one of them.

At this time, a tentacle protruded from its smooth body, slowly extending upward.

Then, the top of the tentacle it extended deformed and became...

A human hand? !

This scene really made Xu Xin and Xu Ying curious.

"These guys can actually imitate human hands?" Xu Ying whispered.

Along the way, after the two men observed, they discovered that these alien invaders with smooth bodies and no protrusions or tentacles were different from what they looked like. In fact, their bodies were very flexible.

Although in their normal state, they have no protrusions or tentacles on their bodies, they can transform their smooth bodies into various forms.

The two also saw several times the smooth-bodied alien invaders with tentacles extending from their bodies.

The alien invader in front of us even mimicked human palms!

"As the highest level and most noble alien invaders, their abilities are naturally the strongest." Xu Xin also whispered, "Probably because over the past thousand years, the alien invaders here have also discovered the human hand The shape is perfect for gripping.”

As an alien invader who hates humans and is completely unacceptable to the appearance of humans, it is really surprising that they can mimic human forms.

The human palm imitated by the alien invader was still extending upward, and then its five fingers flexibly grasped a fruit attached to a strange dark red plant.

As a result, the fruit-bearing branches of the plant swung away and escaped the grasp of the alien invader.

However, the alien invader's tentacle-mimetic hands were very flexible. They immediately turned around in the air and grabbed the plant again.

The alien invader's simulated human hand fought with the moving branches of the plant for several rounds. Finally, the human hand grabbed the fruit and pulled hard.

"squeak--"

Xu Xin and Xu Ying obviously heard a scream coming from the plant.

"Hey... this plant can actually call..." Xu Ying showed a look of disgust.

Can a plant that moves and screams when its fruit is picked really still be called a plant?

Xu Xin also sighed in her heart.

The things in this world tree are really eye-opening.

It was really different from the other empty World Tree he went to before.

The alien invader who picked the fruit did not eat the fruit, but put the fruit into the basket carried by its other tentacle and moved on.

"Is this a high-level alien invader... So, Sister Guixin killed a top-level alien invader before?"

Xu Ying looked at the alien invaders in front of her who seemed to have no sense of danger, and she was a little ready to make a move.

"How about we try to give them to..."

Based on what they saw and heard along the way, the two speculated that this kind of alien invader with a smooth body was of noble blood among the alien invaders.

Not only do they have noble blood, but their abilities are also very strong.

The alien invaders they encountered were generally divided into three categories.

Alien invaders with pimples all over their bodies, alien invaders with tentacles all over their bodies, and this kind of alien invader that looks very smooth.

The first type of alien invader covered with pimples, Xu Xin had seen in two places.

One is in a factory outside this area that has been destroyed by them, where this pimple-covered alien invader works alone; the other is inside another World Tree, with stalls throughout the "At the very edge of the area, there is this pimple-covered alien invader stall owner.

From this point of view, the pimple-covered alien invader may have the lowest status among the overall alien invaders. Even the stalls must be set up on the outer edge.

As for the second type, alien invaders covered with tentacles, Xu Xin saw them the most in another World Tree.

Among the alien invaders who were allowed to enter another World Tree and set up stalls there, this kind of alien invader with tentacles all over its body was the most numerous.

Therefore, this kind of tentacle monster should be the middle class of alien invaders.

The third type, that is, all the alien invaders they encountered in this world tree, the alien invaders with smooth bodies, are the noble blood of the alien invaders, the highest class.

This is what Xu Xin and Xu Ying calculated as the three major classes of alien invaders.

As for why the classes are divided in this way, the two believe that it is probably based on the ability of the alien invaders to control the body.

The alien invaders with lumps all over their bodies are the lowest level of alien invaders. Most of them cannot flexibly control their bodies.

Alien invaders with tentacles can flexibly control the tentacles, but only the tentacles.

The smooth alien invaders can transform their bodies into any shape at will.

This kind of alien invader is naturally the strongest. Naturally, it is the most noble.

"Don't add unnecessary complications."

Xu Xin gave Xu Ying a gentle blow on the head.

"Don't forget our mission. As long as our mission is completed, these pampered nobles have nothing to fear and will definitely be the first to escape."

These alien invaders didn't even know that the war outside had spread to their doorstep, and they were still picking fruits in the "park" leisurely. It was not worth the time of Xu Xin and the two of them.

"That's right. Then let's continue."

Xu Ying looked at the two furry ears exposed in Xu Xin's arms.

"Coco, do we have to go through this 'park'?"

"Hey!"

Coco, who had only two ears left, once again poked out half of his head from Xu Xin's arms, and at the same time stretched out a small paw, pointing to the depths of the park, "Hey!"

"Let's go." Xu Xin continued walking along this road.

"Hey, I hope there's something good over there." Xu Ying's eyes dimmed slightly and she followed Xu Xin.

"I told you earlier, there shouldn't be anything in this World Tree." Xu Xin shook his head.

Then he looked ahead.

A group of strange dark red plants of varying heights blocked most of his sight, making it difficult for him to see what was ahead.

The two of them were already deep in this "park", with rhythmic plants in all directions.

The two of them walked carefully, trying not to touch the "vegetation" that was beating around them, for fear that the vegetation would stretch out their branches and attack them.

"Let's act as soon as possible." Xu Xin quickened his pace slightly.

His heart has always been in suspense: "I am a little worried about the situation below. Others are fine, but Wen Xi has no fighting ability..."

"Well... then, should we go outside and take a look later?" Xu Ying said tentatively, "We haven't even used it for an hour yet."

"Outside..." Xu Xin also looked at the time.

There are still nearly five hours before the defeat Ji Chaoyang predicted.

There is still plenty of time.

"Let's go back later and see what's going on down there. If there's no problem, we'll go out and have a look."

"Yeah!" Xu Ying nodded.

The two continued walking through the park.

Because the vine road is not wide, whenever an alien invader comes towards them, they can only retreat or take a detour.

Fortunately, there are many roads in this "park". It took the two of them about twenty minutes to finally pass through the park.

At the end of the park, there is a huge door.

This door is five or six meters high, very tall.

The door was similar to the door in the World Tree they had seen before. They were both left and right double doors. The entire body was made of unknown metal. At the same time, the door was covered with scarlet vines.

Fortunately, these scarlet vines didn't squirm like the vegetation in the "park."

Closer to the plants.

"Hey." Coco called out softly, signaling their arrival.

Above the door, a dozen cold-looking metal electronic eyes hidden behind scarlet vines were slowly shaking, exploring the situation under the door.

Fortunately, Xu Xin and Xu Ying were still not discovered.

"...How do we get in?"

Xu Xin asked softly, looking around at the same time.

The door is closed, there is no switch.

"If it were me before, maybe I could teleport directly there, but now..."

Xu Ying was a little troubled.

"Now I'm afraid something will go wrong. Now I only dare to teleport to places I have already reached, otherwise I will die if I make a mistake."

"Then we will think of other methods." Xu Xin glanced at Xu Ying, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Her current situation is becoming increasingly unstable.

"Hey." At this time, Coco got half of her body out of Xu Xin's arms, trying to get out.

Then Xu Xin pressed her head back.

"Go back, don't come out." Xu Xin pinched the little guy's ears.

"Hey!"

The little guy waved his paw and pointed to another location: "Hey!"

Their eyes lit up.

This little guy really always knows some key information at critical moments!

The two followed Coco's directions and approached the door.

The two discovered that there was a person beside the door...

A doorbell-like button.

The red button was hidden among the red vines, so the two of them didn't notice it just now.

"This..." Xu Xin looked at the little guy in her arms, "You mean, let us press this?"

"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head.

The two looked at each other.

"Are you sure you won't be discovered?" Xu Ying asked in a low voice, then looked at the electronic eyes above her head.

"Hey!" Keke was obviously very confident.

"What do you say?" Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.

"...press it." Xu Ying pursed her lips and grabbed Xu Xin's arm, "If any mechanism is triggered and something goes wrong while you're still alive, I'll take you and teleport you away."

Xu Xin nodded, no longer hesitating, stretched out his hand to push aside the scarlet vine covering the red button, and then immediately pressed it.

"Click."

The button got stuck inside after being pressed and did not spring back.

Xu Xin also retracted her hand the moment she pressed it, and then pulled Xu Ying back a few steps.

He was still afraid of some kind of trap.

As a result, there were no dangerous mechanisms.

even……

No reaction at all.

The two waited for a few seconds, but the door still didn't open.

"Huh...?" Coco tilted her little head.

It seems that it is also a little unclear about what the situation is now.

"Is it really like this?" Xu Xin lowered her head and asked.

"Hey..." Coco continued to tilt her little head.

As if to say: "Yeah, but why isn't it open?"

"It's not like this door hasn't been opened for a long time. It's broken."

Xu Ying pointed to the vines covering the door and the thick dust under the vines.

"How long has it been since this door was opened?"

this……

Xu Xin thought for a moment, stepped forward again, reached out and pressed the button hard.

The button was pressed inward a few centimeters again.

"Crack!"

This time, there was a mechanical sound.

Then he was pulled back a few steps by Xu Ying.

The door, which seemed to have not been opened for a long time, slowly opened in front of the two people.

The vines on the door were gradually straightened when the door was opened, but they still could not prevent the door from opening.

As the door opened wider and wider, the vines were torn off one by one.

At the same time, the scene inside the door was also opened to Xu Xin.

"Oh..."

Although she was prepared, Xu Xin was still shocked by the extremely magnificent decoration of the inner door.

Inside the door is a long corridor... made of scarlet crystal!

The sides, top, and even the floor of the corridor are filled with various golden decorations.

……gold?

Xu Xin could tell at a glance what these things were made of.

These decorations look familiar... they seem to be decorations made by humans!

These things were either offered by enslaved humans or were trophies from thousands of years ago.

Now, these things are used to decorate this long corridor constructed of scarlet crystal.

Of course, these decorations are not the point, the point is...

"There is actually a scarlet crystal in this place...?" Xu Ying murmured to herself, "Moreover, it is actually a normal scarlet crystal that has not been concentrated."

These crystals emit a relatively soft light.

Xu Xin and Xu Ying had already taken off the protective film to facilitate movement.

And the light of this uncondensed scarlet crystal would not make the two of them feel uncomfortable.

Normal scarlet crystals are substances that exist on the alien invaders' home planets and contribute to the surface. They were originally very common in their home stars, but are now very scarce.

Because of this, alien invaders invade planets all over the universe.

But now, this leader actually used these scarlet crystals to build himself a long corridor...?

It feels luxurious just thinking about it...

Xu Xin turned around and looked.

Five or six alien invaders had gathered behind the two of them.

[...Door...open...? 】

【why……? 】

These alien invaders are wondering why the door was opened.

But they were not surprised or surprised by the scarlet crystal inside.

It seems that the leader here built this corridor with scarlet crystal, and they all know about it.

...This is really extravagant.

No wonder there are alien invaders who want to rebel.

Although there were more and more alien invaders surrounding them outside, none of them came close.

I'm afraid they are not allowed to come close to this side at ordinary times, even if they only need to press the switch to open the door.

"Let's go in quickly." Xu Ying pulled Xu Xin and walked in. "There is actually a scarlet crystal here. We are right. We can't keep the scarlet crystal here, we will destroy them all!"

Xu Xin looked forward.

There is no need for lights in the corridor, because the scarlet crystal itself emits scarlet light.

About a hundred meters ahead, the corridor will appear around the corner.

The entire corridor is made of scarlet crystal, from one corner to the other.

How much scarlet crystal was used to build this place...

Here...

What else could there be?

Xu Xin touched Keke's little head in her arms and whispered: "Keke, you have made great achievements again this time."
