Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Her words immediately made everyone in the Explorers feel more secure.

"It turns out that the strength of the mature World Tree is so strong!" Wang Lei said in surprise, "Then aren't we basically invincible?"

"No wonder those guys are like crazy, coming in groups, not wanting the World Tree to mature," Wen Guixin complained, "As a result, after the World Tree matured, there was no movement at all after so long."

"It hasn't been long." Xu Xin reminded, "It's only been more than three hours outside."

"Ah... the flow rate of time is different this time, which is really a bit uncomfortable."

Qin Yunlong on the side said: "But the flow of time a hundred times really makes us leisurely a lot."

The flow of time a hundred times allowed the explorers to relax their tense hearts after arriving in this world.

Even if I spend a whole day leisurely doing nothing, only ten minutes have passed outside.

Thinking of living here for a hundred days and only one day outside, everyone's originally very tense pace of survival will naturally slow down.

There is still a lot of time, why are you in such a hurry?

This is the normal thought in their minds now.

But... there is still a thorn in their hearts that keeps them from truly relaxing.

"How do you plan to solve the problems in the underground world here?" Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Ying and asked.

"Huh? Are you talking about the technology and people in the underground world? I can leave now, but I still suggest you develop this place first before..."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Ji Chaoyang turned to Xu Xin, "Didn't you tell her?"

"Ah... not yet." Xu Xin said a little embarrassedly, "In order not to waste time in the outside world, I brought them in immediately as soon as they came back, before I had a chance to say anything."

"What? What are you talking about?" Xu Ying looked at them blankly, and then said to Li Wenxi, "Sister-in-law, do you know?"

Li Wenxi also shook her head in confusion: "What can I know..."

Li Wenxi basically didn't understand anything about Xu Xin's information or Xu Ying's information.

She has been digesting this information since just now, and her mind is so messed up that she still can't sort it out.

Seeing Xu Ying looking at her with a questioning expression, Xu Xin pointed to the ground and said: "Just below the World Tree, an underground sea world area with a radius of two to three kilometers will also be affected by the flow of time inside the World Tree."

"...The underground world will also be affected?"

Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said: "Well... the World Tree is indeed connected to the underground world, and it can affect the flow of time underground, which makes sense."

Then, her eyes lit up slightly: "This is actually good news for us."

"Although the time flow inside World Tree is a hundred times faster, there are basically only soil resources and water resources, and other resources are very scarce. If you go outside to collect resources, the efficiency will be very low, but if it is the area of ​​the underground world... …”

The more she talked, the bigger the smile on her face became, and her eyes turned into crescent moons: "It's perfect! The various strange and scarce resources in the underground world are much richer than those on the ground, and there are even...crystal mines that can be mined. !

With a hundred times the flow rate of time and the blessing of my sister-in-law’s ability, we can simply pick as much as we want! "

This is quite good.

Xu Xin has considered this before, but...

"There are other things down here!" Zhao Xiaochuan said from the side, "There are terrible monsters everywhere. They can't be taken advantage of easily, right?"

"You probably don't understand the situation under the ground here, right?" Xu Xin also asked.

"Of course I understand the situation in the underground world. The situation underground in the entire area where you survivors are located is probably similar."

Xu Ying glanced at the ground: "I have seen the giant beasts, giant insects, and giant plants everywhere. They are all caused by the alien invaders, but don't worry!"

She raised her head and looked at everyone: "Since the time flow rate in the underground world has also been changed, that area can be regarded as the internal space of the World Tree. And in this space..."

She walked to Xu Xin, hugged Xu Xin's arm with a smile, looked at the others and said: "My brother and I are invincible! Don't forget, we are the owners of the World Tree, and this is our territory!"

……yes!

Xu Xin's slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed.

Almost forgot about this.

If that area of ​​the underground world is affected by the World Tree, then he is equivalent to the landlord there!

Everyone in the Explorers also reacted and looked at the two brothers and sisters in confusion for a moment.

"But... our underground world here is not that simple."

Xu Xin told Xu Ying all about the vine bundles, the petrified creatures, the huge prison, the extremely huge soft beast pressing under the prison, and the blood-striped python.

Xu Ying has no interest in petrified creatures and even disdains them.

She felt that those things would have little impact on World Tree.

But when she heard about the soft giant beast, her eyes changed slightly.

"Are you sure that an extremely huge, soft-bodied giant beast is pressed down here?" Xu Ying asked again emphatically.

"Of course, we were all frightened at that time!" Wang Lei added at the side, "As soon as the foot stepped in, it would sink in. The moment I knew it was a living thing, it was absolutely terrifying!"

As he spoke, he touched his arm very vividly, and he already had goosebumps.

"That's really..." Xu Ying could no longer hide the excitement on her face, "That's great! I didn't expect it to be down there!"

oh?

It seems that this is still a good thing.

"What exactly is it?" Xu Xin asked.

"Well... it's a bit complicated to explain. Let's take action first!" Xu Ying thought for a while and said.

She let go of the hand holding Xu Ying's arm, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "Come with me, ah, sister-in-law, you are coming too, let's go to the underground world together now."

"Ah? Are you going down now?" Li Wenxi hugged Coco, but before she could react, Xu Ying grabbed her hand.

Xu Ying grabbed one in each hand and stamped her foot lightly, and a purple-black vortex instantly formed under her feet.

"Hey!" Coco screamed and quickly jumped out of Li Wenxi's arms and jumped to the ground, as if running away.

Before the explorers could react, the three fell into the whirlpool and disappeared.

Everyone in the tree house was left looking at each other.

"Teleportation ability?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked in surprise.

"Is it similar to Shi Wanyun's ability? It seems to be more convenient than Shi Wanyun's. There is no need to draw teleportation formation patterns." Wen Guixin squatted down and touched the ground.

"It's normal for people from another time and space to have this kind of ability." Qi Xuefei's face remained as usual.

"By the way, did we forget to ask Brother Xin and his two siblings to give us permission?" Wang Lei complained, "We still can't get out now!"

"There's no need to go out for the time being." Qin Fu sat on the sofa and smiled, "It's going to be a long day, right? There's plenty of time anyway, so we might as well enjoy it and make the next step."

"Huh..." Keke lay on the side, opened his mouth, yawned, glanced at the place where Xu Xin and the others disappeared, and then started to nap again.

Ji Chaoyang was looking out the window.

At this time, his eyes were dull and unfocused.

Then there was a flash of light in his.

The light faded, and he took a deep breath, looking a little tired.

But there was a trace of solemnity and shock in his eyes.

He was just making a prediction.

The last prophecy has been fulfilled, that is, the arrival of Xu Ying and Li Wenxi.

So he immediately made a new prophecy.

His current prediction ability has basically stabilized for the next day.

But now there is a problem.

Will the scene he predicted this time happen on the second day inside the World Tree, or on the second day outside?

If it were the second day in the World Tree...

Then... there will be big trouble soon.

…

At this time, Xu Xin and the others were already standing in the underground world.

Li Wenxi was the first to exclaim: "Oh my god, this bug is so big!"

This was Li Wenxi's first time here. Although she had heard Xu Xin talk about their experience in the underground world, she was still extremely shocked when she saw this scene of demons dancing in person.

"I didn't lie to you," Xu Xin said with a smile.

"Well, it's really exaggerated..." Li Wenxi looked at everything around him and nodded blankly.

"This scene is actually the norm in this area." Xu Ying explained to Li Wenxi, "Weird mutant giant plants are everywhere. They are all caused by the endless experiments of those alien invaders."

As she spoke, she looked into the distance.

"Oh...! It's true."

She also saw birds flying at high speed in the sky.

"The flow of time is really affected..."

"It feels really different to see it with your own eyes... Wait a minute, if there are giant beasts here, what about the human base area?" Li Wenxi suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Ying, "Can these giant beasts..."

"No." Xu Ying shook her head and said, "The area of ​​the underground world occupied by the behemoth experiment is not very large. Our underground human base is half a planet away from here and is not affected by it."

"But it was also affected by the attack of mutant creatures, wasn't it?" Xu Xin said.

Xu Ying briefly told him about this matter last time, and he still remembered it.

"Yeah, but those are relatively small mutated organisms that are easier to reproduce and spread, and they will affect human base areas."

Xu Ying nodded.

"These large ones are all experimental individuals, and their reproduction speed is very slow. The biological resources in the underground world are not very rich now, and they are not enough to make this group of giant beasts for large-scale expansion. Therefore, most of the things that affect the underground human base area are They are smaller mutated creatures. Of course, only relative to them. Compared with the small mutated creatures on the ground, the mutated creatures attacking the underground human base are still much larger."

Xu Ying pointed at the huge alien-like monsters in front of her and said.

"The closer you get to that big vine over there, the more giant beasts there are." Li Wenxi stared at the very conspicuous vine bundle in front of her, "The giant beasts near that big vine bundle are really fighting, and you are below. Did you mean prison?"

"That's right there." Xu Xin nodded.

"It looks so oppressive..." Li Wenxi sighed and turned to look at Xu Ying, "Then what should we do now?"

"Well..." Xu Ying touched her smooth chin, "Sister-in-law, first use your ability to explore the surrounding area and see how rich the resources are."

"Resources?" Li Wenxi heard this and immediately activated her detection ability.

Then, her eyes suddenly widened, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "So many! So many! This is too much!"

"A lot, indeed a lot!" Xu Ying's smile couldn't help but expand, "Let me just say, the resources here are definitely very rich."

"Is it easy to mine?" Xu Xin also frowned and asked hurriedly.

"Well, it looks good to mine visually!"

Li Wenxi looked around, then looked at the bottom of her feet, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her tone was filled with confusion and unconfidence: "Is there something wrong with my ability? What's going on... Why are they everywhere... …”

Everywhere...?

"Are there metal mines under our feet?" Xu Xin followed her gaze to the ground.

"Well, at least that's what my ability tells me, and... the location is very shallow, you only need to dig down about two meters to...!"

Li Wenxi licked her lips, her eyes brightened, and she took out the shovel and pickaxe from her backpack.

"Hey, wait a minute, sister-in-law, don't dig now, let's solve the situation here first." Xu Ying quickly stopped her, "The resources are here, and they won't escape. But now there are giant insects everywhere. What a giant beast.”

"Oh, yes." Li Wenxi quickly put away the tools, looked at the giant caterpillar three to four meters long crawling not far away, and moved closer to Xu Xin with a little fear.

Let’s not talk about whether this insect is strong or not, this thing is really disgusting to look at!

"Don't worry. Those bugs generally don't attack people." Xu Xin comforted, then turned to look at Xu Ying, "So, what should we, the two owners of the World Tree, do now?"

"Look up." Xu Ying pointed to the sky.

above?

Xu Xin looked up.

The three-thousand-meter-high dome in the underground world is already covered with the roots of the World Tree.

At a glance, the roots of the World Tree seem to cover the entire underground world!

The moment she saw these roots, Xu Xin's heart moved.

"I can... control them?" he asked in surprise.

"That's right, just like you control the roots of a tree house. Hey, look at me!"

Before Xu Ying finished speaking, the roots covering the entire dome... started to squirm!

"Eh...!" Li Wenxi shrank her neck, "It's a bit scary..."

It's a bit scary indeed.

It's like a group of squirming bugs hanging on the dome, or a group of bugs several meters thick...

And at this moment, a root emerged from the entangled root system that covered the dome, extending downwards at a very fast speed, piercing downwards!

The speed is very fast, obviously exceeding the speed of sound!

The thick roots pierced straight down. In just a few seconds, they pierced the ground and became a three-kilometer-long root that connected the ground and the dome of the entire underground world!

"Bang!" The sound of roots piercing the ground came belatedly, and the whole ground was shaking, even making the three of them slightly unsteady.

The giant beasts and insects around were all struck by the sudden thrust into the ground.

"You should try it too, brother." Xu Ying still looked up and pushed Xu Xin beside her with her hand.

"Okay." Xu Xin looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just like controlling the roots of a tree house, after he concentrated, he felt that the roots of the world tree could be used as freely as his limbs!

Another root fell from the sky and penetrated heavily into the ground!

The ground trembled, and the surrounding giant beasts even began to get a little restless and panic!

"Let's continue!"

Subsequently, under the control of the two brothers and sisters, thick roots continued to descend from the sky, connecting the dome and the ground of the underground world.

Soon, ten roots connecting the dome to the ground stood in front of the three people in the entire area.

"Okay, okay! That should be enough!" Xu Ying grabbed Xu Xin's clothes and pulled them.

Xu Xin let out a breath.

So cool!

It’s so cool to control such thick roots like an arm!

He felt that if he wanted to, the tendril could turn a corner and stab the surrounding giant beasts, even the vine bundle!

"Is this... is this all caused by you two?" Li Wenxi was already a little stunned.

"It's very cool." Xu Xin turned to look at her and smiled.

"How can this be unpleasant?" Li Wenxi looked at the roots piercing the ground like tofu, and swallowed, "No wonder Yingying just said that you are invincible, but this giant beast can't resist it..."

"Okay, now there are ten roots, which should be enough." Xu Ying nodded with satisfaction, "Next, let the roots of the World Tree begin to spread underground in this underground world!"

“Although it cannot spread as widely as on the ground, the roots cover the affected area, so there is no problem!”
