Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

It is indeed the "World Tree".

This vast space in the tree is called a small world, which is no problem at all!

In my mind, a map emerged.

Xu Xin was surprised to find that his map abilities had also undergone some changes after entering the World Tree.

The map in my mind became two copies.

One copy is the original map. He can see where he is, in Crystal City, in the World Tree.

There is no problem with this.

The second map is... the map within the World Tree.

Because he is the owner of the World Tree, in this World Tree, he is not like in the outside world, only the places he has been are shown on the map, but...

It was completely fun and showed it to him!

He is like the god of the entire World Tree, overlooking everything in the entire World Tree.

Of course, in the current World Tree, there is absolutely nothing in such a vast area.

There were only clouds formed by the condensation of steaming water vapor that appeared in the sky for some reason, and a barren land.

He turned his head and looked at where they were walking out of the door.

It was an...irregular spherical wooden block protruding from the ground.

It was as if a very strange plant had grown out of the soil.

The inside of the wooden ball should be those spherical vines that brought them up.

When Xu Xin looked at this thing, it had already retracted more than half of the way into the soil.

Only half of the door is exposed above the ground, and the remaining half is buried underground.

Xu Xin did not panic, perhaps because he was the holder of this world tree. He knew very well that he could make this thing grow at any time.

But Zeng Tao also discovered it, and she immediately lost her composure.

"Ah! This door is going to retract!" She pounced directly on the wooden ball.

As a result, because of her weight, she directly pushed the wooden ball down another ten centimeters.

"What are you doing! Get up!"

Lou Fei'er was not in a hurry at first, but when she saw Zeng Tao like this, she became a little uneasy: "What if you get crushed!"

Zeng Tao quickly pushed up his body and stood up, but the wooden ball was again suppressed by more than half.

At this time, only forty or fifty centimeters were left on the ground.

"Oh my God, I'm really going down!" Zeng Tao immediately grabbed the wooden ball and tried to lift it up, "Okay - sink - ah -"

Even with her strength and all her strength, she was completely unable to stop the wooden ball from sinking slowly.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh..." Coco looked at Zeng Tao, who was trying hard to pull out the wooden ball, and covered her face with her little paws, looking "so speechless".

"Okay, if Xu Xin can bring us in, he can definitely take us out." Lou Fei'er also covered her face and said.

"Ah? Ah, that's right..." Zeng Tao blinked and relaxed his grip.

Xu Xin smiled and patted her head: "Let me do it."

"Oh, come here." Zeng Tao immediately moved away.

The part of the wooden ball that was exposed to the ground was only about 30 centimeters. Xu Xin didn't even bend down, but just extended his foot to kick the wooden ball, and the wooden ball began to "grow" upward again.

It's like a plant growing slowly from the ground.

"So obedient!" Zeng Tao suddenly blushed.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Xu Xin shook his head.

"hey-hey……"

"Look at it this way... is this really the inside of the tree?" Lou Fei'er looked at the endless surroundings, then looked up into the sky, "That's not right, this is obviously the outside world, how can it be inside the tree?"

There were clouds in the sky and it was a bit foggy.

Xu Xin could see the dome above, but with their current eyesight, they couldn't see it.

Xu Xin looked up again and said, "There are no stars in the sky, don't you think it's strange?"

There is no pollution in this world, and there were no nightlife lights before the emergence of Crystal City, so unless it is a rainy day, the starry sky is always very bright.

"...Isn't it because it's cloudy now?" Jin Yue guessed.

She didn't quite believe that this was the inside of the World Tree.

"I have enhanced vision. I can see the... dome above. It's wooden. It's like the ceiling of a tree house." Xu Xin looked down at them and said, "It's obviously not the sky above."

"Really or not..." Zeng Tao opened his eyes wide and stepped on the ground hard.

"It's not the sky..." Lou Fei'er looked at the sky blankly, her throat rolling.

"Hey..." Coco also raised her little head and looked up, and then almost fell off Xu Xin's back, "Hey!?"

They were all shocked.

"I can also prove it." Shi Wanyun raised his head and glanced at the sky, then lowered his head and looked at them and said, "I also have increased vision now, and I can also see that above the World Tree, there is... a wooden dome like a tree house. "

She slept in her tree house last night, and naturally received a random increase.

Xu Xin looked towards the sky.

Although there is no light source here, it is not dark.

Some are like the brightness of the outside world after dark.

There was a suspicion in his mind.

Could it be...

Does the lightness and darkness here change according to the outside world?

It's daytime outside, and the space inside the World Tree is daytime.

And now it's dark outside, so it's dark here?

Probably!

If this is the case, then this place is truly a small world!

Xu Xin told others about his idea.

"It's really..." Lou Fei'er still looked up at the sky, "If you didn't tell me that this is the world tree, I would completely feel that this is the outside world. The brightness here is really exactly the same as the dark night outside."

To verify this, it is actually very simple, just wait until dawn.

At that time, if the world inside the World Tree also dawns as the outside world dawns, it means that his conjecture is correct.

"...The World Tree's defense is very strong when it reaches adulthood, and it has a strong self-healing ability." Shi Wanyun whispered to himself, "In other words, this world... is very safe. We just need to do certain things outside. Just protective measures.”

"If that's the case..." Lou Fei'er instantly turned her head to look at Xu Xin, and said slightly excitedly, "Then, can't we live completely in this world tree?"

absolutely okay.

completely fine.

Xu Xin's heartbeat was also a little fierce.

No wonder……

No wonder the alien invaders keep sending people to prevent the growth of the World Tree.

This World Tree has completely changed their current situation!

They truly have an area... that is basically completely unaffected by the outside world!

No... those alien invaders probably didn't expect that there could be such a huge area inside this World Tree.

No one expected the direction of this matter.

"...Maybe it's time for us to let everyone live in this world."

At this moment, Xu Xin's watch vibrated.

It was Ji Chaoyang who called.

Xu Xin answered the call immediately.

"I saw you entered the World Tree. How is the situation inside the World Tree?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"...It's completely beyond imagination. It's hard to explain in words. I'll bring you in so you can see for yourself."

Xu Xin said while turning on his identification ability.

Suddenly, patches of blue and purple light appeared in his eyes.

There's even a golden glow.

"As expected." He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"What's so true? What did you see?" Wen Guixin's voice came from over there, and everyone in the Explorers should have gathered.

Because they knew that Xu Xin had already found a way to enter.

"I'll be out right away." After saying that, Xu Xin hung up the call.

Behind him, the somewhat irregular wooden ball had completely appeared on the ground.

In fact, this is not a wooden ball, but a wooden pillar with a prototype on top... a wooden pillar.

The irregular wooden door on the pillar is the exit.

"Let's go back."

Xu Xin walked to the door. The door opened automatically and several people walked in.

Still a vine ball.

It was very dark inside, and Jin Yue took out the core of the tree house for lighting.

The wooden door is closed, and the vine balls begin to grow, eventually covering the door.

Xu Xin thought, a slight feeling of weightlessness appeared, and the vine ball began to fall downwards.

"Didn't we come in through the thick roots outside?" Lou Fei'er reached out and touched the vines. "There are many such thick roots outside. Are those... all entrances?"

"It should be all." Xu Xin nodded.

"Although they are all entrances, the distance between roots is not that far, only a hundred meters at most. But if it is inside, it is not that close." Shi Wanyun said in a soft voice, "After all... the area has expanded. hundred times."

really.

As it should be.

Entering from different roots, the appearing positions are also different, and there should be a considerable distance between them.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Zeng Tao was a little surprised, "Wasn't it only ten seconds when we went up? Why does it feel like it took half a minute to go down?"

"Because I want to go underground first." Xu Xin said.

Their current location is already underground.

Based on the previous rising speed, the current position of the vine ball should have reached a hundred meters underground.

But it still continues to decline.

After another ten seconds, the vine ball slowly stopped.

The vines retracted and the heavy wooden door appeared again and opened automatically.

The soft white light directly filled the entire vine ball.

"Ugh!" Coco screamed in surprise.

"...It's so bright underground!" Zeng Tao was the first to walk out of the door, "Is this underground?"

It's underground.

Walking out of the wooden door, Xu Xin immediately discovered that what was under her feet was not soil.

Rather, they are the roots of a thick world tree.

He looked up again.

At a glance, he saw a hundred meters above the sky. A huge crystal ball emitting white light was "embedded" in the dome, with only half of the ball exposed.

And this core is like the sun, emitting bright white light, shining on this area.

This is why, although it is underground, it is very bright.

And around this "sun" are countless thick roots. You can't even see the soil, they are all twisted roots of the world tree.

The top of the entire space is composed of the roots of the World Tree.

"Is that... the core of the World Tree?" Lou Feier looked up and exclaimed, "It's really big."

very big.

Judging from the exposed half of the sphere, the radius of the core is more than ten meters.

The whole thing should be a... giant core with a diameter of more than 20 meters.

Really big.

This is only more than ten meters in diameter than the trunk of the World Tree.

Hanging on the top of the head, looking up, it still feels a bit oppressive.

Xu Xin looked around again.

This space is not as big as the World Tree, just like a small world.

It's obviously only about two kilometers in radius.

If the World Tree was not affected by the ability of time and space, the World Tree tree house above would probably be this big.

And the ends of the surrounding area are not soil and stone walls, but the roots of the World Tree.

This entire area is wrapped by the roots of the World Tree!

In every direction, all over!

This place is really interesting.

"Is it a space wrapped by roots..." Shi Wanyun looked around, then looked up at the core of the World Tree, "It is also very safe here. After the World Tree matures, the roots should not be destroyed as easily as before. , this place is equivalent to a place completely protected by countless roots."

"What is this? An underground shelter?" Lou Fei'er stepped on the thick roots under her feet, "There's not even soil. The ground is covered with such thick roots and it's not even."

"Okay, let's talk about functions and stuff later." Xu Xin held down Coco who was about to jump off his shoulders, "Let's go back first."

The rest of the Explorers were still waiting for him.

Several people returned to the vine ball.

"Hmm...?" A trace of surprise flashed in Xu Xin's eyes.

At this time, several people felt weightless under their feet again, and the vine ball suddenly began to fall again, and the speed was much faster than before!

"What...what's going on!" Lou Fei'er grabbed Xu Xin's arm, "Are we falling down?! Aren't we going up?"

Xu Xin's other arm was grabbed by Zeng Tao, and she panicked and said, "We're not going to fall to death, are we?"

"Don't panic, I'll let it go down." Xu Xin hurriedly explained, "Because we can continue going down."

"Is there another one down there? Is there a second underground floor..." Zeng Tao complained, "It's not a shopping mall garage."

The feeling of weightlessness increased again.

The speed of descent has once again improved!

This time even Jin Yue and Shi Wanyun grabbed the people around them.

"Why is it so fast?" Jin Yue asked doubtfully, but she believed in Xu Xin's judgment, so she was not worried.

"We are going to the underground world." Shi Wanyun's tone became a little curious, "Xu Xin, have you and Lou Fei'er been to that underground world?"

Underground world.

That vast world that goes at least several kilometers underground.

Since the last exploration of the underground world, Xu Xin has not been down there.

"I'm not really going to enter the underground world." Xu Xin felt the weightlessness at this time and muttered to herself.

Judging from the feeling of weightlessness, their descending speed should be six or seven meters per second now.

Any faster, and it would be directly equivalent to free fall.

Falling at this speed for so long without stopping, this is really the pace of the underground world!

The World Tree is actually connected to the underground world!
