Chapter 722 Our Tree House Is Still There

"Oh? We can go back now?"

When Xu Xin and Xu Ying informed everyone about the situation there, they immediately chose to return.

Compared with here, the World Tree, which flows at a hundred times the speed of time, is more suitable for them now.

Moreover, Li Wenxi and others have also explained their actions there to Ji Chaoyang and others.

Everyone agreed that even if the alien invaders still have some power and still want to attack World Tree, at least in the short term, they are unlikely to come again.

And this short term may be a few days, a few weeks, or a few months.

But even the shortest few days are enough for them to develop in the World Tree for a year or two.

Therefore, go back as soon as possible. This is their judgment of the current situation.

Anyway, there is a way out, you can retreat to this world tree on the sea.

The explorers passed through the coordinate portal and came to the foot of the World Tree.

The situation around World Tree also surprised them.

"Have you not gone in to check the situation?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

Xu Xin shook his head: "No."

He was brought here by Xu Ying to set up the coordinates. Xu Ying could not enter the World Tree, so he did not enter to check it himself.

Ji Chaoyang glanced at Xu Ying, and then said: "Then I will go in and check the situation first to see if the hundred-fold time flow rate has been changed."

He reached out and touched a thick root of the World Tree that plunged vertically into the ground.

They want to enter the World Tree through this root.

"Well... my authority is still there. It seems that this World Tree is not completely new." Ji Chaoyang said.

His authority to enter and control the World Tree was given to him by Xu Xin and Xu Ying, the two real owners of the World Tree.

He originally thought that after the World Tree was destroyed and reborn, his authority needed to be re-granted.

Unexpectedly, it didn't work.

"That's natural."

Xu Ying said behind him.

"The alien invaders' weapons against the World Tree only withered the trunks and crowns of the ground part of the World Tree. They cannot destroy the most important part of the World Tree, the roots of the World Tree that spread for hundreds of kilometers. "

"As long as the root system is still there, this World Tree will still be the original World Tree. The permissions we have given you will naturally not be changed."

Ji Chaoyang nodded: "This is best. I don't need to trouble you to grant permission again."

As he spoke, the hand touching the root blended into the root.

Half of the body was inserted into it.

When Xu Ying behind him saw this, she was suddenly startled and subconsciously took two steps back.

Then he bumped into Li Wenxi behind him.

Ji Chaoyang paused, glanced sideways at her, and then entered the roots of the World Tree.

"Haha, we can finally return to our own World Tree!"

"Quick, quick, quick, I want to go in and sleep for a whole day and a night! It's only been a few minutes outside anyway."

Behind him, Wang Lei, Ma Hongwei and others followed closely, eagerly entering the World Tree.

"Yingying, you have indeed..."

Li Wenxi stretched out her hand to support Xu Ying's body and said worriedly.

After Xu Ying bumped into Li Wenxi, she almost fell down because her body was still a little weak.

If Li Wenxi hadn't supported her, she might have fallen.

This made Li Wenxi truly aware of her current situation.

"Hey..."

Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulder, looked at Xu Ying and blinked.

"I……"

Xu Ying quickly stood up straight and glanced at Coco subconsciously.

"Hey!"

Coco's head shrunk and rushed directly to Xu Xin's back. Two claws grabbed Xu Xin's shoulders and half of her head was exposed to look at Xu Ying.

It was indeed scared again.

"Oh, I really can't hide it from you." Xu Ying said helplessly, "But there is no need to worry too much for the time being."

Ji Chaoyang and others have entered the World Tree one after another.

In addition to Xu Xin, Xu Ying, and Li Wenxi, Lou Feier, Jin Yue, and Shi Wanyun also stayed.

"You should also enter the World Tree first to see the situation." Xu Xin said to them, "I... need to go talk to some giant beasts first."

He can communicate with the giant beasts by reading their voices.

These giant beasts should have been within the scope of Crystal City all the time, so they most likely witnessed the scene after the World Tree was destroyed.

Maybe you can learn something by chatting with them.

"I won't go in with you."

Li Wenxi said.

Xu Ying needless to say, now she cannot enter and leave the World Tree casually.

Not even if she is one of the two true owners of this world tree.

"Then I'll come with you. What's the use of me going in?" Lou Fei'er waved her hand.

Jin Yue said nothing and didn't move.

"Me too!"

Zeng Tao's arms had already reached into the roots of the World Tree. Seeing this, he immediately withdrew his arms and trotted back.

"No, you don't have to follow me."

Xu Xin waved his hand.

Then he turned to look at Shi Wanyun and said, "You guys, go up and check the situation first. If there is no problem, go back to the World Tree on the sea and bring them back."

Shi Wanyun is the owner of the World Tree, and Lou Fei'er was responsible for managing the order of personnel before. It would be more suitable for them to do this.

"Oh, by the way, you can ask them if they want to come back. If they want to stay there, that's fine too."

Not everyone likes a hundred times the flow of time.

There were people before them who liked to live outside.

However, the situation has not settled down yet. If they still want to live outside the World Tree, they might as well just stay there.

Shi Wanyun nodded lightly: "Okay, I understand."

"Okay then..." Although Lou Feier was a little reluctant, she still nodded.

"Ah? Am I coming too?" Zeng Tao pointed at herself, and then stepped back with a smile, "Well... you guys should be enough, right? Why don't I go and take a rest..."

"Don't run!" Lou Fei'er caught her, "You come with us!"

"Uuuuuuuuuah...I'm so tired! I want to rest!"

"Why are you tired? Everyone is equally tired!"

At this moment, the roots of the World Tree in front of them deformed.

Zhao Xiaochuan got out of it.

"Brother Xin, how long have we been in there?"

"One minute." Xu Xin looked at the time and said.

"Well, that's no problem." Zhao Xiaochuan confirmed, "I've been in there for more than an hour."

It seems that this new world tree has not changed much.

"Brother Xin, why don't you guys go in?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked in confusion.

"I'm going to communicate with those giant beasts." Xu Xin explained, and then asked, "So, there are no changes inside?"

"There must have been changes." Zhao Xiaochuan lamented, "The tall buildings inside and the vegetation we planted have all disappeared. However, there is a little surprise. The tree houses we planted in the World Tree are still there. in!"

Is the tree house still there?

Xu Xin's eyes lit up.

Each of their treehouses for survivors is a processing factory!

Most of them were planted in the World Tree before, and only twenty or thirty trees remained outside the World Tree.

He originally thought that those tree houses might have disappeared with the withering of the World Tree.

But I didn’t expect that there is still one?

This is indeed a big surprise.

Those tree houses are all their fault!

"It should be because the tree house planted in the World Tree is equivalent to the 'parasitic tree house' of the World Tree, right?"

Li Wenxi speculated: "The characteristics of the parasitic tree house are that as long as the main tree house does not die, the parasitic tree house can be resurrected at will."

"Brother Chaoyang also speculated like this." Zhao Xiaochuan nodded, "Although the treehouse is still there, all the objects in the treehouse are gone. All the treehouses are empty. Oh, by the way, Brother Ji Chaoyang and the others are going They went underground and said they wanted to look around to see if there was any potential crisis.”

"That...that is to say, our equipment..." Zeng Tao asked tentatively.

"Well, it's all gone."

"Ah..." Zeng Tao suddenly rolled his eyes and lamented, "Those automated equipment were all created by me with all my hard work..."

"Did you create them all?" Xu Xin glanced at her.

"At least half of it!" She puffed up her chest and then became a little discouraged, "But it's all gone... Sigh, I won't have to go through it again, I finally automated all the weapon production..."

Then she shook her head: "Forget it, never mind, let that guy Ma Hongwei do it!"

"Um..." Zhao Xiaochuan said a little confused, "I'm going back first, Brother Xin. Chatting like this outside feels like a waste of time. You guys should come in quickly."

As he said that, he waved to a few people and got in again.

"Since we have determined that there is a problem, we will not go in." Shi Wanyun said to the women, "Let's go, let's bring those people back."

They left through the teleportation array.

Xu Xin also led Li Wenxi and Xu Ying to a giant beast.

A giant deer was sleeping.

Snoring like thunder.

"Ah, I'm asleep." Li Wenxi looked up at the terrifying antlers of this giant deer, which was nearly ten meters long.

"Hey, big guy!" Xu Ying shouted at it.

"————"

The giant deer's head moved and its eyes slowly opened.

Xu Xin began to communicate with it.

Communication is very simple, because the intelligence of such a giant beast is no less than that of humans.

He soon learned the information he wanted to know from the voice of the giant beast.

"All the chariots surrounded the World Tree and injected the medicine that destroyed the World Tree into the trunk of the World Tree."

"Subsequently, the withering speed of the World Tree accelerated. Within two minutes, the leaves of the entire crown of the World Tree were completely yellow and all fell. The World Tree became a bare giant tree."

"At the same time, cracks on the body of the World Tree also began to appear, and gradually expanded, becoming like pottery that is about to crack."

"In the end, in just five minutes, the entire World Tree collapsed. It was not like a collapsed building, but like a building that was about to be blasted. It shattered into pieces and instantly collapsed into dust all over the sky. Then it floated away in the wind."

Xu Xin squatted on the ground, gently twirling the dust on the ground with his fingers, and at the same time explained the final situation of the World Tree to Li Wenxi and Xu Ying.

Um……

Not all is dust.

Has a very dry sawdust feel.

"In other words, our feet are currently stepping on the World Tree from before."

Li Wenxi stepped on the dry leaves on the ground a few times, making a "click-click" sound.

"It turned into powder directly. This is really amazing..." Xu Ying muttered softly.

Xu Xin was not surprised: "As we speculated before, those tanks should be the last resort for the alien invader leaders to attack World Tree. It is normal for them to destroy World Tree to a greater extent."

"That's true...then what?" Li Wenxi asked curiously, "What happened then? Where did those chariots go? Did they leave?"

She looked around.

The surrounding jungle has long been destroyed and turned into a slightly undulating plain.

Able to see very far away.

But there was no chariot.

You know, it is only an hour since the World Tree was destroyed. According to the speed of the chariot itself, it should not go too far.

"Those chariots..."

According to Behemoth, after the World Tree completely withered, a purple-black light appeared under the car.

Immediately afterwards, with the blooming of purple-black light, all the chariots disappeared.

"Ah... that is to say, those chariots teleported away directly after completing the task of withering the World Tree?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise, "After the World Tree withered, they left immediately?"

"Yes, we left immediately." Xu Xin nodded, "Without a trace of hesitation, they left even before the tree debris in the air world was completely dispersed."

Teleport away.

"After destroying the World Tree, just teleport away..." Xu Ying whispered to herself.

Under normal circumstances, the world tree is surrounded by restricted space teleportation.

But after the chariot destroys the entire ground part of the World Tree, the remaining World Tree root system will mainly use its energy to repair the ground part.

So at this time, transmission is not restricted.

"The reason why those chariots moved so fast is probably because if the ground part of the World Tree is restored, their teleportation will be restricted again."

"They must leave before the World Tree is fully restored."

Xu Xin nodded.

There is indeed some truth to Xu Ying's statement.

"But... from this point of view, these chariots are probably completely automatic." Xu Ying raised her head and thought for a while, "They may... simply be automatic machines that operate according to automatic programs."

"The giant ship was destroyed. They were activated for some reason, and then launched an attack on our World Tree. Their only mission is to destroy our World Tree."

"And after success, they will automatically teleport back."

"As for their ability to teleport, that's normal. After all, their speed is too slow. It would be a waste of time to return at the same speed after completing the mission."

"Their automatic return uses teleportation, which is reasonable."

This reasoning makes some sense.

"However, if we are returning, where are we returning to?" Li Wenxi thought, "Could it be... returning to the alien invader's lair? But we have never seen it..."

"If they are returning to the alien invader's home base, these military facilities should return directly to the town surrounding the teleportation formation."

Xu Xin thought for a while and said.

"The destruction of the World Tree occurred an hour ago, that is, before we fired the main gun of the giant ship. If these tanks had returned at that time, it is likely that... they had been destroyed by us."

"Oh!" Xu Ying clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Isn't that just right? What we are most afraid of now are those tanks, right? As long as they don't come back..."

"It's just possible." Xu Xin corrected, "Also, my personal thought is that those tanks did not return to the home of the alien invaders."

Li Wenxi opened her eyes: "What do you mean..."

She turned her head and looked in the direction of the wreckage of the three giant ships of the alien invaders.

"Yes, these chariots came out of the giant ship. If they want to return, they should return to the giant ship." Xu Xin nodded.

"But the giant ship has been destroyed and only the wreckage is left?" Li Wenxi thought it was impossible.

Xu Ying began to think: "It is possible that part of the interior of the giant ship may not have been destroyed. The fact that these tanks are still intact is proof."

"That means..."

The three of them looked at the direction where the giant ship crashed.

Over there, there is probably a chariot legion of giant ships capable of pushing the world tree flatly!

Moreover, maybe I don’t know when, I will start attacking here again!

"Then we definitely can't let these chariots be so close to us!" Li Wenxi bit her lips and said worriedly, "This is too close!"

More than a hundred kilometers, even for those extremely slow tanks, it is only a few hours' journey.

And they did absolutely nothing to stop the chariot from advancing.

"Maybe we should go over there and take a look." Xu Xin said.

A map appeared in Xu Xin's mind.

Unfortunately, the distance there is too far, more than a hundred kilometers to the east.

He hasn't been there yet, so the map doesn't show the situation there.

"Ah? Now? It's better not to go now..." Li Wenxi hesitated, "Our nuclear strikes over there are too intensive, and the radiation over there..."

Xu Ying also felt that it was not appropriate: "Besides, what's the use of going there? We can't... ah, we can... teleport those chariots away?"

Her eyes lit up.

"How to teleport away?" Xu Xin asked.

"The teleportation device of the alien invaders."

Xu Ying pointed to the crystal room where Xu Xin placed the coordinates.

"Your coordinates definitely won't work, but the teleportation device will."

"Wouldn't it be better if we drew teleportation patterns under those chariots and teleported them directly to very far away places? At their speed, any distance would be a barrier for them."

"It's best to be separated by a sea, then they won't be able to get through!" Li Wenxi took over the words and said.

"You guys are really thinking too far ahead." Xu Xin said with a smile, "I'm just a little worried. I'm not sure they are over there yet."

"Well... why not go take a look. The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel."

Xu Ying said, grabbing their arms.

Then he was hit in the head by Xu Xin.

"It hurts! What are you doing! Ah..."

Xu Ying reacted immediately.

What she did just now was to transport the two of them.

There is no way, she is really used to it.

Just like for a person who often walks, if he wants to go to a place in front of him, he has to open his legs.

Suddenly losing her "legs" left her at a loss.

"Well... I'm really not used to it..." Xu Ying muttered.

"Do you really want to go there? The radiation over there..." Li Wenxi said worriedly.

"There is no big problem." Xu Ying said, "I have experienced the radiation within a few minutes of the explosion. As long as I have Sister Xuefei's pills, I can recover."

"...If I want to go, I'll go alone." Xu Xin said, "I just went to confirm the situation, there is no need for all three of them to be involved in danger. If there is a problem over there, I will place one there directly Return the coordinates, connect the two places, and then consider the subsequent situation."

"Is it really okay? Otherwise, wait until tomorrow." Li Wenxi suggested, "At least Ji Chaoyang's prophecy tells us that we will have no problems until tomorrow."

"Yeah, that's fine." Xu Xin nodded lightly.

At this time, the sound of the teleportation gate condensing came from the crystal room on the side.

Afterwards, a large number of people walked out of the crystal room one after another.

Shi Wanyun, Lou Fei'er and the others came back with their people.

These people were sent into the World Tree one after another.

And Ji Chaoyang also came out at this time.

"Why haven't you guys gone in?" He walked to Xu Xin's side and asked.

He was in good spirits at the moment and seemed to be... well rested.

Although it had only been ten minutes since he entered, a lot of time had gone through in the World Tree.

Before Xu Xin could speak, he said: "We have almost prepared the inside. It won't be a problem for those ten thousand people to move back now."

"You guys are so fast." Xu Xin said with a smile.

"It's not fast, we have more time. So, you are always outside..."

Xu Xin told him what they had just guessed.

"Is that so..." Ji Chaoyang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Then I really have to get rid of you in this matter."

The only one who could go to investigate was Xu Xin.

Because only he can place the coordinates.

"Well, let me go now. You... just work hard to rebuild your home first."

"Okay, leave this to us."

Ji Chaoyang went back.

"Then...where is the alien invader's lair...?" Xu Ying asked.

"Once we have determined the situation here, we will go over and take a look." Xu Xin said, "During this period, you should rest here first."

He pointed to the dozens of tree houses around the World Tree: "You can go to those tree houses and take a rest. I will come back as soon as I go."
