Chapter 701 The Invader’s Palace and Traps

The two of them walked into the scarlet corridor.

The scarlet light dyed the two of them red.

However, the scarlet light here is much worse than the concentrated scarlet crystal in the underground space. Even if the light shines from all directions, it does not cause any discomfort to the two of them.

"Click..."

At this time, a mechanical sound came from behind.

The door behind him is slowly closing automatically.

This is not a big deal for Xu Xin and Xu Ying. If they want to go out, they can just teleport directly.

The moment the door closed, Xu Xin saw the alien invaders gathered outside the door through the gap.

There are at least nearly twenty of them.

But no alien invader dared to get close. They were all at least twenty meters away from the door.

"boom!"

Until the door was completely closed, not even a single alien invader came close.

Xu Xin turned around and took a look: "Proceed with caution. This door can be opened so easily, but none of them dare to approach it, indicating that there may be an extremely dangerous mechanism inside."

"It's also possible that the evil reputation of the leader of the alien invaders is too deeply rooted in people's hearts."

Xu Ying also looked back, then stopped caring and began to look at the magnificent decorations around her.

"If they dare to get close, the leader might drive them out of the World Tree. These pampered alien invader nobles cannot stand the 'extremely harsh' living environment of the Earth."

She squatted down and said while looking at the baseboards decorated with gold and silver jewelry at the base of the wall.

Xu Xin nodded slightly.

It is possible.

"The alien invaders who live in this world tree probably can't go out at will."

He walked forward along the corridor and said at the same time.

"These alien invaders don't even know what's going on outside. They are almost isolated from the outside world. Moreover, the way we enter this world tree can basically prove this."

How did they enter this world tree?

It was Wen Guixin who controlled the gatekeeper of this world tree and asked the gatekeeper to bring them in.

The guard directly used a special method to corrode the tree trunk, corroding a channel on the trunk that could quickly repair itself, and brought Xu Ying, Wen Guixin and the others in.

This method of entry is so difficult.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the trunk of the World Tree to be corroded to create a channel.

Because the self-healing ability of the World Tree is very strong, even powerful weapons cannot cause any damage to the trunk of the World Tree. The guard must have used some special method to slow down the self-healing ability of the World Tree. .

But even so, the passage can only last about five meters, and the rear will still heal automatically.

Others: "Think about it, it is completely isolated from the outside world, the security is so tight, and people are not allowed to go out at will. The alien invaders here are still so leisurely and innocent. We did not see any weapons here along the way..."

"Isn't this just like the emperor's harem?" It is definitely impossible for alien invaders to enter and exit in this way.

So, the alien invaders in this world tree...

I'm afraid I'm not allowed to go out without permission.

But now that the leader of the alien invaders has led his army on an expedition and is no longer here, they have naturally cut off contact with the outside world.

Xu Ying, who was squatting on the ground, stood up, glanced at the closed door, and then showed a playful smile: "Brother, tell me, could this be the harem of the leader of the alien invaders? ?”

Xu Xin was slightly stunned.

"Harem?"

"Yes."

Xu Ying nodded her lips and said with a smile: "Think about it, completely isolated from the outside world, the security is still so tight, and people are not allowed to go out at will. The alien invaders here are still so leisurely, and we didn't watch them here during the whole journey. to any weapon..."

"Isn't this just like the emperor's harem?"

She glanced around the surrounding passages: "This place is so luxurious and extravagant, it must be the emperor's palace, right? This entire World Tree seems to be the emperor's palace."

This guess is really...

It makes some sense.

The atmosphere here really feels a bit like that.

"Then those alien invaders we just encountered..."

"They are all the 'concubines' of this leader, right?" Xu Ying glanced at the closed door behind her, "They don't dare to come in, probably because their 'emperor' doesn't let them in."

Good guy.

Is that because of this?

"There are some questions. If this is where the leader lives, why does the door we entered just now seem to have not been opened for a long time?"

Xu Xin asked the doubts in her heart.

"Because it doesn't live here."

Xu Ying walked forward.

"This is probably the luxurious palace that the 'chief' specially created for himself. Although I don't know what is here, I don't think it will allow its 'concubine' to enter here. After all, the whole thing is built with scarlet crystal .”

"So, this is not a place where it lives, but a treasure house that it... built?" Xu Xin touched his chin and asked.

"Yes, that's what I think." Xu Ying nodded and pointed around, "Although the door can be opened at will, none of the 'concubines' outside dare to enter, except for their 'emperor' Unless allowed, I’m afraid this corridor is also very dangerous.”

"There is a mechanism here." Xu Xin looked around.

This corridor is extremely luxurious as a whole, with golden ornaments and various precious gems everywhere.

"These gold ornaments...are they a mechanism?" He narrowed his eyes.

"My guess."

Xu Ying spread her hands and pointed at a gold ornament.

"Looking at this gold jewelry, can you see some faint shadows inside the scarlet crystal?"

Xu Xin looked carefully.

Although these scarlet crystals emit soft light, they are not transparent and even extremely chaotic. It is basically impossible to see anything through the scarlet crystals.

But if you look carefully, you will indeed see a hazy shadow behind every wall decoration, such as the decorative chandelier.

"I feel like that should be the agency."

Xu Ying looked down at the gorgeous skirting lines again.

"I was observing this just now. I feel that if it weren't for the cloaks we are wearing, the moment the door is closed, we may be shot into a sieve, or burned to death, or... in short, there may be all kinds of things here. All kinds of different agencies.”

Are there many different agencies...

Xu Xin looked around and nodded: "That should be the case."

"Even we can open the door here, but it is impossible for the leader of the alien invaders to let such a large piece of scarlet crystal within reach, even if there may be its 'concubines' in this World Tree."

This scarlet corridor may be very attractive to alien invaders.

Anyone can enter, so what’s the point?

And not only those idle "concubines" can enter here.

The two of them had followed an alien invader...probably a military general, and entered here using its vine ball elevator.

After the military general came up, he continued to summon some alien invaders and went down.

That group of alien invaders should be the ones responsible for security in this world tree.

Probably equivalent to...a palace guard?

Those alien invaders basically only move around the small area where they came up by elevator.

The two of them were a little away from the elevator entrance, and they only encountered these leisurely nobles who didn't know anything.

But it is still possible for those "palace guards" who can carry weapons to come here.

Therefore, it is possible for those "palace guards" to break into this place out of greed.

There is no way to be defenseless here.

Therefore, these seemingly magnificent decorations may be life-threatening mechanisms.

And this corridor built with scarlet crystal may be a trap for alien invaders.

"It's just a guess, but if my sister-in-law is here, I should be able to tell if there is any mechanism in the wall." Xu Ying said, "I should bring my sister-in-law up. How about I go back and bring her over now to have a look?"

"Forget it." Xu Xin stopped Xu Ying, "It's too dangerous here. Don't let her come up."

Wen Xi doesn't have much ability to protect herself, so it's safer down there.

The dense fog-shrouded situation below also required her ability to observe.

After all, destroying the concentrated scarlet crystal below was the purpose of their trip.

And he and Xu Ying actually just get along well.

Even if he is in danger, Xu Ying can teleport him directly if she can catch him.

However, the three people may become separated from each other. Xu Ying has to catch two people to teleport, so an accident is likely to occur.

"But there is also a scarlet crystal here." Xu Ying pointed to the top of her head and then to her feet, "We also want to destroy the scarlet crystal here, right?"

"... Let's take a look at the situation first. If we are not in danger, then bring Wen Xi to have a look."

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

Here...how to destroy it?

"Brother, you really feel sorry for your sister-in-law!" Xu Ying teased.

Xu Xin glanced at her: "Okay, let's go. There might be something you want ahead."

"Yes, this is the treasure trove of the leader of the alien invaders!"

The two quickened their pace slightly.

But they didn't dare to move too fast, otherwise they would be doomed if they were locked by possible mechanisms in the corridor.

The two finally walked through the gorgeous corridor and reached the corner at the end.

Turning the corner, the two saw another door.

Basically the same as at the entrance.

But this door looks much newer and cleaner than the one at the entrance.

The lines on the door were not filled with dust or covered with vines.

The metal door reflected the harsh red light under the red light of the surrounding scarlet crystal.

The red glow in those lines is even better.

"These lines seem to light up on their own, right?" Xu Ying took a large amount and covered it with her hand, "Sure enough, the lines on this door are also shining by themselves. And..."

The two of them looked at the crack in the door.

The door was actually open.

It was only slightly opened, and only one side of the double door had some movement.

It was slightly hidden, revealing a gap.

There are no buttons like before on either side of the door.

This door...does it have to be pushed open with force?

"Let's see what's inside first!"

Xu Ying walked towards the door, leaning towards the crack to look inside.

"Hey!"

At this time, Coco, who had been nestling in Xu Xin's arms with only two furry ears exposed because she didn't want to be illuminated by the red light, suddenly popped out half of her head and called Xu Ying anxiously.

"Yingying, come back!"

Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.

Coco found danger again!

"Ah?" Although Xu Ying was puzzled, she immediately stopped where she was and looked back at Xu Xin and the little guy in his arms, "What's wrong? What did this little guy find again?"

"dangerous."

Xu Xin stepped forward, took Xu Ying's arm, and pulled her two steps back.

"Danger...?" Xu Ying glanced at the door, "I also suspect there is a trap, but I just plan to take a look inside and don't intend to push the door."

"Hey!" Coco stretched out her little paw and waved.

What it means is that there are dangers there too!

Is it dangerous just to look inside?

Xu Xin and Xu Ying are now wearing cloaks of the Invisible, so they should not be detected by optical detectors.

Could it be...

Gravity detector?

Xu Xin looked at the ground.

The ground in front of the gate is still made of scarlet crystal.

It was smooth, emitting a relatively soft scarlet light, no different from other places.

"Is it the ground?" Xu Xin asked the little guy in his arms.

"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head.

It turns out to be gravity induction...

"Gravity induction trap." Xu Xin said, "If you had walked over just now, you would have stepped on the trap."

Although their cloaks of concealers are not afraid of optical sensors, they are still afraid of gravity sensors.

After all, this cloak can only eliminate their sense of existence, but the weight is still real.

"Gravity induction trap?" Xu Ying was slightly startled, "Set up a gravity induction trap in front of this gate?"

She looked at the ground and found no reason.

"This place is really full of traps..."

Xu Ying couldn't help but sigh: "To be able to set up a gravity induction trap in front of the door, this place was probably not a place that people wanted to visit often from the time it was established."

really.

This is equivalent to placing a landmine in front of the door.

Who in their spare time would place a mine in front of their room?

However, if this is a treasure trove, that's a different matter.

This long corridor and the gravity trap in front of the door have told Xu Xin and others that this place itself... is a big trap that invites you to fall into the urn.

Under normal circumstances, when they see the ajar door, they will do a little exploration out of caution, and they will step on this gravity trap.

The ajar door is also part of the trap.

"With the leader's caution, it's normal for him to set up a trap in front of the treasure house." Xu Ying pursed her lips, "So, how should we get in... Let me think about it..."

She did not approach the gate, but found an angle three or four meters away from the gate.

"What are you..."

"I'll look for an angle to see if I can see what's going on inside." Xu Ying stopped in one position and tilted her head to the left. "If I can see something, I can teleport you in directly."

"Oh...can you teleport anywhere you look?"

"Of course, just make sure there are no obstacles. There you go!"

Xu Ying had already looked left and right through the crack in the door, peeking into a small area inside.

She took Xu Xin's arm and said, "You can go in."

"There might be danger inside." Xu Xin reminded.

"Then come out again."

"You can't teleport continuously, right?"

"That's a long-distance transmission, not such a short distance."

Xu Xin was still not at ease and rubbed Coco's exposed ears in her arms: "Is there any danger in there, Coco?"

"Hey..."

Coco said he didn't feel it.

"Hey, let's go! Don't waste time!"

Xu Ying didn't wait for Xu Xin's consent and directly took him out of Asa Lane.

Xu Xin's vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was already behind the door.

"here……"

"This is..." Xu Ying's eyes widened and she looked at what was in front of them.

The space inside the door is not very large, only one or two hundred square meters in size, but the height is not low, nearly ten meters.

The material of the entire room is still unconcentrated scarlet crystal. The light of the crystal alone makes the room very bright.

And in front of the two of them, there was a...

Huge machinery.

This machine is nearly ten meters tall and looks familiar.

They had just met before.

"This...isn't this the machine used to process and preserve scarlet crystals? There is actually one here? And..."

Xu Xin and Xu Ying noticed a long strip object more than three meters high next to the machine, covered with a thick layer of black cloth.

This shape...is a bit like a rockery.

The black cloth was very large, and after covering this thing, which was about the same size as a rockery stone, a large piece of it was spread flat on the ground.

"What's under this black cloth?" Xu Ying tugged Xu Xin's arm, "Let's open it and take a look?"

"Look at that first." Xu Xin pointed to the corner of the room.

In the corner, on the ground, there is a metal disk protruding outward.

In front of this huge machine and the mysterious thing covered with black cloth, it looked very inconspicuous.

But it caught Xu Xin's attention.

Because this thing looked familiar to him.

"Isn't this a teleportation device?" Xu Ying said in surprise, "There is actually a teleportation device here... Well, it makes sense."

The outer door has obviously not been opened for a long time, and there is a gravity trap in front of the inner door.

So what should the owner of this room, the leader of the alien invaders, do if he wants to come over?

Very simple, through teleportation.

So, there's going to be a teleporter here.

"Well, it's a little different from ordinary teleportation devices." Xu Ying got closer and looked at it, "This teleportation device should only be used by that leader."

Then she smiled: "But right now, this leader should be fighting fiercely on the other side of the earth, right?"

There are still four hours left before Ji Chaoyang's prediction.

They still have time.

In this room, except for this huge machine, this mysterious object covered with black cloth, and this transmission device, there is nothing else.

The machine didn't seem to be working either.

"Never mind this, I want to see first what is under this black cloth..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped.

And Xu Xin directly grabbed her arm, took several steps back, and leaned directly against the wall of the room.

The two of them saw that the transmission device suddenly lit up with a purple-black light!

The teleporter has been activated!

"Hey..." Coco shrank directly in Xu Xin's arms.

"...Yingying, you seemed to have said just now that this teleportation device can only be used by the leader, right?"

"Ah...I...I guessed it." Xu Ying's eyes were straightened as she looked at the transmission device where the purple-black vortex had begun to gather.

If her guess is correct, then what is about to be transmitted now is...

Before the two of them could think about it carefully, a purple-black light emitted.

The sudden purple-black light was much more dazzling than the surrounding scarlet light, making them unable to open their eyes.

Xu Ying just grabbed Xu Xin's wrist. If the situation is critical, she will teleport away directly!

When their vision returned, an alien invader appeared in front of their eyes.

One... Mingqian was an alien invader that was twice as big as the alien invader they had seen before!

The body of this alien invader is huge, but it is not smooth. Instead, it has protruding vein-like stripes, which looks very scary.

And this guy's eyes are open all over his body, and his pupils are actually scarlet!

At the same time, this alien invader is not naked and wearing nothing like other alien invaders.

On top of its head, there is a layer of scarlet, something like a cloak, and there are various decorations on it, making it look extremely gorgeous.

With just one glance, Xu Xin and Xu Ying were already determined.

This guy……

He is definitely the leader of the alien invaders!

Xu Xin broke into a cold sweat.

what happened? !

This guy is actually back? !

Their world tree was captured? !

No, there are still four hours until Ji Chaoyang's predicted time?

Could it be that this guy didn't leave at all?

Xu Xin's eyelids were already twitching wildly.

No matter what the situation is, in short, the situation has become very serious!
