Chapter 703 Good News and Bad News

"That is to say, only the last of the four giant ships of the alien invaders is left?"

Xu Ying had an expression of complete disbelief and muttered to herself: "Is it true?"

"We're going down there."

Xu Xin looked around.

"Now that the leader of the alien invaders is back, he will definitely know what happened in this world tree, and will probably go check out the scarlet crystal."

They must go back.

At least remind everyone below.

And here...

The scarlet crystal here also needs to be destroyed.

but not now.

The hardness of these non-concentrated scarlet crystals is relatively low, and the melting point is also low. In fact, a single nuclear weapon can almost completely destroy them.

And that piece of concentrated scarlet crystal...

"Put it here first."

Xu Ying suggested as she saw Xu Xin looking at the crystal covered with black cloth.

"This crystal is not big. I looked at it just now. This crystal is actually placed here. We can put this crystal away directly."

Able to put away the crystal directly...

Xu Xin nodded: "Okay, let's put it here first."

Although it can be put away now, no one can guarantee whether the leader will return to this room again.

If they take the scarlet crystal away now, once the leader returns and discovers that the scarlet crystal has been stolen, the situation will basically get out of control.

Before they detonate the giant concentrated scarlet crystal, they must proceed with caution.

"When the following tasks are completed, before detonating the giant concentrated crystal, we will return here to place a few nuclear warheads." Xu Xin said, "When the time comes, we can take away the concentrated scarlet crystal here."

"I think so too." Xu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Let's go back first."

"Go out and take a look first. See if there is a giant ship coming back outside."

"good."

…

The underground space of the World Tree, next to the concentrated scarlet crystal.

The red mist is still lingering.

It hasn't faded away at all, or even dissipated.

Zhao Xiaochuan and others have achieved great results.

"It should be almost done, right?" Wen Guixin put a hand on one of the alien invader workers, "We have dug a lot of ballistic holes in it."

"not enough."

Zhao Xiaochuan was currently processing the channels dug by the three alien invaders.

Hearing what Wen Guixin said, he said without looking back: "The inner middle and lower parts of the scarlet crystal cannot be perfectly covered."

"How long will it take?"

Zeng Tao was currently on top of an alien invader.

The alien invader suddenly lost control and she took action.

"An hour, at least an hour."

Zhao Xiaochuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Actually, one hour can't reach the most perfect level. It's better to have two hours."

"Um...it's not bad." Wen Guixin said.

Her hands left the alien invader's body.

And this once again eroded alien invader began to work staggeringly again.

"Sister Guixin, this one! I can't hold it down anymore! It's so strong and so slippery!"

Zeng Tao pressed firmly on the alien invader below.

But the strength of this alien invader was beyond her imagination. Although it was not as strong as hers, it would slide out from under Zeng Tao as soon as its eyes closed.

Wen Guixin stepped on the alien invader.

Then, the black slime suddenly shriveled up and quickly turned into a dry membrane in less than two seconds.

"Ah...Is this one dead too?"

Zeng Tao stood up from the ground and patted the debris on her knees.

The shriveled and shattered debris of an alien invader.

She was a little annoyed and kicked the mummy of the alien invader on the ground.

In an instant, the body was shattered into pieces.

Then under the illumination of the scarlet crystal, it seemed to be burned and completely disappeared.

"This is already the second one, and we only have the last one left..."

Wen Guixin looked at the alien invader she had just saved and sighed.

Even this one is obviously in a bad state.

"If you die, just die."

Zeng Tao picked up the cutter used by the alien invader from the ground.

"As long as the cutter can still be used, that's fine. Then, can I use this cutter?"

"Then...you go help Lou Feier."

"good!"

Zeng Tao took the cutter and drilled out the hole, getting out of the scarlet crystal.

After the death of the first alien invader, Lou Feier inherited its work.

She was now cutting in another cave.

"This one can't last long, right?"

Zhao Xiaochuan rubbed his wrist: "I didn't expect that one died not long after Brother Xin left, and now another one has died."

"no way."

Wen Guixin sighed.

In fact, if these alien invaders remained in their previous state, she could actually keep them alive for a long time.

But what makes it uncomfortable is that the disposable protective film they wore before gradually lost its effect under the strong light of the scarlet crystal in the red mist.

This resulted in them being directly exposed to the light of the scarlet crystal.

Still in the light enhanced by the red mist.

So, there is the current result.

"It's better to just kill this one too."

Zhao Xiaochuan cut off a piece of scarlet crystal, put it away, then turned to her.

"Isn't it because we kept them so that if the enemy comes to investigate, we can fool them? Now two are dead, so why keep the last one."

Wen Guixin looked at the cutting alien invader that was swaying and squirming around.

"It seems right."

She nodded.

"Now that the main passages have been dug out, the next step is some more delicate work. This guy can't do much in this state."

She convinced herself, and then flew up and kicked the alien invader.

The alien invader clicked and stuck to the wall it was cutting.

Then completely shriveled up within two seconds.

Wen Guixin picked up the cutter on the ground and walked out: "I'm going to find Wang Lei to do this job. I have to watch the surrounding situation."

She drilled out of the secret hole, came to the outside of the scarlet crystal, and called Wang Lei in.

"Zhou Cao, you have actually dug so much here?"

Wang Lei's exclamation came from the cave.

"Of course, we don't care who is in charge here." Zhao Xiaochuan's slightly tired voice was filled with pride.

Wen Guixin walked to Li Wenxi's side.

"Wen Xi, is there still no change?"

She asked Li Wenxi, who was sitting outside holding her legs in a daze.

"Ah...no."

Li Wenxi shook her head.

She looked at the entrance above: "There has been no metal reaction. I'm afraid the other party feels that no living thing can enter the current underground space environment, so he is more reassured."

"Also give that guy some credit." Wen Guixin said with a smile, "If that guy hadn't lured away those small machines here, we wouldn't be so relaxed now."

What she was talking about was, of course, the monster.

"It doesn't know what it is doing now."

"Who knows, but it can teleport at will. Although the distance is not far, it is enough to avoid it. It will definitely not die."

Wen Guixin still has some confidence in the monster.

"Shouldn't the guy Xu Xin be the one we should be worried about most right now? And Yingying." Wen Guixin said.

"Yeah." Li Wenxi pursed her lips, "Where have these two guys gone? It's been almost two hours, right?"

Nothing will happen...

No no no...

probably not……

With Yingying here, they can escape even if they encounter danger.

Alas, if she had known it was so safe here, she should have gone there together in the first place.

Sitting here all the time is really torture...

"Oh, those two guys are really willful. Running around at such a moment is just...especially that guy Xu Xin!"

Wen Guixin got angry just thinking about it.

"This is the second time that guy has left the team! I was very unhappy the first time!"

"Uh..." Li Wenxi smiled sheepishly.

The first time they talked about it was that Xu Xin would not follow them into this World Tree, but had to go to another World Tree.

That time Li Wenxi also went with him.

"You can't say that. We also found a lot of good things in that World Tree..." Li Wenxi argued in a low voice.

Especially the protective film they are wearing now.

If they hadn't obtained so many layers of protective films from that World Tree, they wouldn't have been able to stay here for so long.

"Then you can't just run around on a whim!"

Wen Guixin's teeth itched with anger.

"Even if you have something to ask for, you have to discuss it in advance! Fortunately, our plan went smoothly."

"No, it's not going so smoothly now."

At this time, Xu Xin's voice came from the red mist.

"Ah!" Li Wenxi stood up immediately, "You're back!"

Xu Xin and Xu Ying walked out of the red mist.

Li Wenxi immediately grabbed Xu Xin's hand and said worriedly: "You're not hurt, are you?"

"Don't worry. It's okay." Xu Xin squeezed her hand.

"You guys are finally back." Wen Guixin rolled her eyes, "Two hours, no news at all."

"Where are they?" Xu Ying looked around.

"They are cutting the scarlet crystal. The three alien invaders are all dead."

Li Wenxi explained.

"Those three are dead? What happened?"

Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.

"Are you in danger? You... nothing happened, right?"

"No." Li Wenxi waved her hand and then explained briefly.

"So that's it." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's gather with those people for a while. We have something important to say." Xu Yingze said, "Just five minutes will be enough."

"Important things?" Wen Guixin's heart sank, "What did you find?"

Li Wenxi immediately went to find someone and gathered everyone together.

"Brother Xin, come and see our results, we will succeed soon!" Zhao Xiaochuan said in the red mist before he came over.

"I'm finally back. What did you find again?" Lou Fei'er immediately came over and asked curiously.

She still held the cutter in her hand.

Jin Yue, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, Wang Lei and others all came over.

"I have good news and bad news." Xu Xin said.

"Ah? Let's hear the bad news first!" Zeng Tao said immediately.

"The bad news is that we have met the leader of the alien invaders, and their fleet has returned." Xu Xin said solemnly.

"Don't cut it separately for the time being." Xu Ying also reminded, "The current situation is very dangerous. It is basically certain that the other party will come down to investigate."

These people were cutting at different positions. Just now Li Wenxi screamed for more than a minute.

If this happened, it would be extremely dangerous!

She looked at the holes that had been cut out.

The locations of those holes are very secretive. They are all close to the ground at the edge. They are covered by red mist and are basically impossible to find.

But if the other party dissipates the red mist and checks again, it can still be detected.

Hope nothing goes wrong.

"ah?"

Everyone was shocked.

"That's not right! It's not the time Ji Chaoyang predicted?" Wen Guixin asked hurriedly.

Their mission is not completed yet!

"Then what's the good news?" Li Wenxi raised her head and asked.

"The good news is..." Xu Xin touched Coco's little head in his arms, "Three of the four giant ships of the alien invaders were destroyed, and only one giant ship returned, and it was obviously seriously damaged."

Xu Xin's words stunned everyone present for a few seconds.

"Ah?" Zeng Tao opened his mouth.

"What?!" Wang Lei was even more dumbfounded, "This... Brother Chaoyang and the others did this? Are they actually so strong?!"

"Isn't it possible?" Qin Fu asked doubtfully, "Do we have such strong capabilities over there?"

"Yes, that is the main ship of the alien invaders!" Lou Fei'er opened her eyes wide, "If we can even deal with their fleet, why are we here to steal their homes... Why don't we just confront them head-on? Already?"

Xu Xin shook his head: "No, as far as I know, they were made like that by the turbulent flow of time."

He briefly recounted their experiences on the trip.

"You actually discovered another scarlet crystal," Wen Guixin said in surprise, then waved her fist, "That's just right, we'll destroy it too!"

"Isn't the point here?" Wang Lei said with a grimace, "The leader of the alien invaders is back, and the leader doesn't seem to be afraid of the light of the scarlet crystal. What if it comes down?"

"Come down and kill it!"

Wen Guixin clenched her fists: "I have killed several of them, what are you afraid of?"

"He is the leader of the alien invaders, how can he be killed so easily..."

Xu Xin also sighed and said: "Anyway, now..."

"Wait a moment……!"

Suddenly, Li Wenxi stopped Xu Xin's words in a low voice.

"There is a machine coming in from the entrance above!"

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

It came so quickly!

"I'm here to check, right? Those holes..."

Wen Guixin whispered.

"Let's hide in a cave first." Xu Yingze suggested in a low voice.

"follow me."

Jin Yue took the lead.

Then everyone got into the nearest hole together.

"I have to say that this cave entrance is indeed very secret."

Xu Ying whispered.

The hole is so small that you can only crawl in, and it is close to the ground, so you can't see it unless you lower your head.

"Wen Xi, the current situation..." Xu Xin asked.

"Well...a lot of small machines got in! However, it seems that they are not the small jellyfish like before, but..."

Li Wenxi looked up.

"It's a machine with a gun-like weapon. But it's about the same size as the previous small jellyfish."

"Huh...that leader has come in too!" Xu Ying whispered.

Everyone was suddenly shocked.

"Silence." Xu Xin whispered immediately.

The experience he had with Xu Ying in that room was still vivid in his mind.

That guy could detect where the sound was coming from.

If they speak now, it is likely that the leader will find this hidden cave through their voices.

That guy's tentacles are so flexible, it's much easier to feel around.

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

Outside, the voice of the leader of the alien invaders was also heard.

"——————!————!"

"——————,————!!!"

The voice was hoarse, like a scream.

There is a feeling of despair.

Everyone present heard it.

Others didn't understand, but Xu Xin did.

"What's going on! Why was this place invaded after I was out for such a short time!"

"The traitor is back! It took this opportunity to come back! It makes me so angry, I want to kill it!!!

"It shouldn't have stolen my crystal, right...?"

Xu Xin knew that the traitor it was talking about was probably the monster that helped them absorb most of their vitality.

Don't know where it is now.

Outside the scarlet crystal, the red mist has not dissipated.

The leader of the alien invaders did not let the red mist dissipate.

Perhaps in its opinion, the red mist here makes it safer.

Xu Xin found that Li Wenxi suddenly held his hand tightly.

He noticed Li Wenxi's nervousness.

He looked at her and his heart suddenly sank.

Li Wenxi showed a somewhat frightened expression.

Because she discovered that those small mechanical flying objects had now surrounded the scarlet crystal!

The distance between each small flying object and the scarlet crystal is only one or two meters.

They seemed to be scanning the scarlet crystal. They are checking whether there is any abnormality in the scarlet crystal.

But how could there be no abnormality in the scarlet crystal!

Several holes have been dug out of this scarlet crystal!

If this is discovered...

Li Wenxi's expression was very anxious, but she did not dare to speak for fear of being directly exposed, so she could only hold Xu Xin's hand tightly.

“————,————. (Check carefully, don’t miss any place.)”

"——————. (That traitor is very cunning.)"

Xu Xin immediately knew why Li Wenxi was like this.

His eyelids twitched.

You know, although the hole in their current location is not easy to find, but...

Above the scarlet crystal, there is a passage cut by Zhao Xiaochuan that goes straight into the innermost part of the scarlet crystal!

Although he turned a corner when cutting and concealed it a little, it was not obvious at a glance.

But if it’s a mechanical scan…

Almost impossible to miss!

what to do……

What will the other party do if discovered?

Damn...

This leader returned a few hours early, which really disrupted their plans!

"————,——————?————. (Old guy, you are finally back. How come you are so slow to defeat humans on Earth? I have been waiting for you for a long time.)"

At this moment, another hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded.

When Wen Guixin heard this voice, her eyes suddenly lit up, she pointed outside and made a gesture to everyone.

This is not the voice of the leader of the alien invaders, but...

That monster's voice.

"It's here to help us again!"

Wen Guixin mouthed words to others.

"————,——!————!! (You traitor, you still dare to come in! Get them all! Kill it!!)"

Outside, the leader's extremely angry voice came.

"——————,————. (Hey, why is your giant ship so broken? There are holes in it. Just in time, I'll go find some good things in the giant ship.)"

"————!!——! (You stop! Let me chase you all!)"

It became extremely noisy outside.

A few minutes passed.

"Gone." Xu Ying whispered, "The leader should have left."

"Those machines have also left." Li Wenxi also said.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thanks to that guy now!" Wen Guixin said.

"That guy... led the leader away." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

Did they... go to the only giant ship that returned?

He looked at Xu Ying, and Xu Ying was also looking at him.

"Brother, I..." Xu Ying hesitated.

It was obvious that she wanted to see the giant ship.

There is probably something she needs in the giant ship.

Xu Xin nodded lightly to her, then looked at the others and said: "For the positions that have been completed, let's put our nuclear weapons in them first, and then continue to complete other positions. In this way, even if there is another problem, we will detonate it directly, even if it cannot be done To 100 percent completion, but still effective.”

After all, nuclear weapons can only do so much.

The final finishing work requires more powerful weapons.

There is it in Xu Xin's bracelet.

At the same time, there are also those in the giant ship.

Moreover, there may be other good things in the giant ship, which are indeed worth seeing.

With Xu Ying here, they can return at any time, so they don't have to worry too much.

At this time, Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's hand and looked at him.

She had already noticed that Xu Xin was going out again.

"This time, I have to go with you!"
