Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"Um...what is the mind-reading ability you just mentioned?"

Xu Ying was about to initiate the teleportation when Li Wenxi suddenly asked.

She looked at Xu Xin with a strange expression: "You...you have the ability to read minds? Now...can you know what I am thinking?"

Xu Xin had always used his mind-reading ability as a trump card and never told anyone. Naturally, Li Wenxi didn't know about it.

"Ah? No, of course not." Xu Xin waved her hands hurriedly, "My mind reading is very limited."

"I remember that you can only communicate with wild beasts... huh?" Xu Ying suddenly turned to look at Xu Xin, "Wait a minute, brother, what's going on with your mind-reading ability?"

"You don't know either?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.

"Well... I only know that my brother has a way to communicate with beasts. Is it through detecting brain waves or some other method? I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it..."

Xu Ying's expression when she looked at Xu Xin became a little strange: "You can't...really be able to read our thoughts, can you?"

She took a few steps back, then subconsciously held her head.

"Can you know what I'm thinking about now?" Li Wenxi looked at him and tilted her head slightly.

"I can't hear it anymore." Xu Xin shook his head, "The introduction to my mind-reading ability is that I can only read the voices of the aborigines in this world. According to my speculation, the so-called aborigines are those who have never experienced time travel or been People who have been affected by the time factor.”

"Aboriginal people?" Xu Ying still looked at him warily, "You really can't hear me?"

"I told you, I really can't hear you." Xu Xin spread his hands helplessly, "I can't hear the voices of all the survivors."

"I believe him." Li Wenxi laughed, "If he could read my thoughts, he would never be so calm now."

"Huh?" Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant and looked at her with interest, "What were you thinking about just now?"

"Humph, I won't tell you." Li Wenxi blushed slightly and stuck out her tongue at him, "Okay Yingying, let's go up quickly!"

"Oh... no, wait a minute!" Xu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother, are you sure your ability is [reading the voices of subjects who have not experienced time travel]?"

"Almost the same." Xu Xin nodded, "According to my observations during this period, there have been no exceptions."

"That's great!" Xu Ying clapped her hands, grabbed Li Wenxi's arm and shook it happily, "I didn't expect that the breakthrough point is here, brother!"

"Ah...? Ah!" Li Wenxi was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Yes!"

"What? What are you talking about?"

This time it was Xu Xin's turn to be confused.

"Ah, yes..."

"Sister-in-law, let's go up first. The people above can't wait any longer. Let's take care of the World Tree matter first."

Just as Li Wenxi was about to say something, she was interrupted by Xu Ying: "Let's go back!"

"No, you..."

Xu Xin wanted to ask anything else, but was dragged into the teleportation vortex by Xu Ying.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the small world of World Tree.

Moreover, it is right next to the tree house in the center.

"What's going on?" Xu Xin couldn't help but ask.

"The matter is a bit complicated. We will elaborate on it after this matter is dealt with..."

"Ah Brother Xin! You are back!"

At this time, the explorers were still in the tree house.

Wang Lei was leaning by the window and happened to see Xu Xin and others arriving.

"Pull us up, the situation below is a bit strange." Xu Xin raised his head and said.

Entering the tree house, everyone was still in their original positions.

"Hey!" Coco ran towards Xu Xin, crawled along his legs and into his arms.

"You little guy, why didn't you come with us just now?" Xu Xin tugged on its ears and laughed and scolded, "Are you lazy again...Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Xu Xin realize that everyone's expressions were a little... solemn?

The atmosphere was obviously relaxed when they left, why is it so heavy now?

"Why are everyone looking so sad?" Li Wenxi couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Xin, Wen Xi, something big has happened!" Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't help but said, "Brother Chaoyang predicted a big crisis! A bigger crisis than the previous siege of World Tree!"

? !

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly focused and looked at Ji Chaoyang: "What's going on?"

"After you left, I immediately activated the prophecy. The result... was an overwhelming mass of petrified creatures." Ji Chaoyang explained the situation concisely and directly.

"...petrified creature?!"

Xu Xin instantly thought of what was happening below.

The underground prison used to study petrified creatures is empty.

Could it be... that the experiment was already successful, so it was abandoned here and transferred directly? !

"...Around the World Tree?" Xu Xin's head was spinning crazily.

"That's right."

"Those petrified creatures..."

Before Xu Xin could ask, Ji Chaoyang said: "There are all kinds of creatures, among which petrified giant beasts account for a large proportion, and there are also many petrified flying giant beasts flying in the air."

At this moment, Zeng Tao, who was sitting by the side, suddenly said: "When Xu Xin and I went down for the first time, we were attacked by seven petrified pterosaurs!"

Xu Xin also thought of this.

Moreover, he also recalled that at the moment when the vine ball was about to close, the sudden flash in his sight...

A whole swath of petrified creatures.

They are all petrified beasts!

Although it was only for a moment, several people in the vine ball saw it.

Damn, I should have thought of that!

Their petrification experiment has really been successful!

Moreover, they are going to verify the power of petrified creatures, and they will soon let the army of petrified creatures attack World Tree!

"What exactly is a petrified creature, can you explain it?"

Xu Ying, who had been silent, asked.

The group explained to her their origins with petrified creatures.

And the source of all this is the Changyin family.

"Petrified creature..." Xu Ying thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head, "I really don't know anything about this petrified creature. In my time and space, there has never been such a thing. It can be so flexible after being petrified Move, even fly? This is too ridiculous..."

Everyone present didn't know what to say.

To be honest, if everyone present had not fought against petrified creatures, they would not believe that such a thing existed.

"...This petrochemical technology may not be the technology of alien invaders at all."

Finally, Xu Ying came to a conclusion.

Not alien invader technology…

Xu Xin had speculated on this before.

The entire petrochemical experiment revolves around Changyin's family as the backbone. If Changyin itself was made into that appearance by alien invaders...

Then why did those alien invaders let Chang Yin be the "warden" to conduct experiments?

Let Changyin do the experiment. The most important materials are even provided by Changyin, which means that the other party does not have this "petrochemical technology" at all.

"But it can't be human technology... Tsk, could it be that there is another third party?" Xu Ying feels that the current situation is a bit complicated, "If this is the case, the petrified biota that attacked us this time is really an alien. Were they sent by intruders?”

"This is certain." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "In my prediction, in addition to petrified creatures, I also saw a familiar figure - a fluffy weirdo."

Fluffy Monster, a mutated human responsible for controlling the herd's attack on the spot.

Unlike the genetic mutants on the World Tree in the other hemisphere, the mutations of this group of mutant humans are very low-level, and they even have atavism and grow hair.

They are considered "old friends" of Xu Xin and the others.

"That should be correct." Xu Ying said to herself.

"So, you are worried that the second day of the prophecy is the second day in the World Tree?" Xu Xin asked.

"I don't know, but we still need to prepare." Ji Chaoyang said solemnly.

"But if it's the second day outside, then we don't have to worry too much." Wen Guixin lay by the window, looking at the surrounding fields and pastures, "One day outside, there are a hundred days inside, it's still early .”

"...Actually, I think even if it's the second day inside World Tree, you don't have to worry too much."

Xu Ying sat on the sofa, stretched, leaned on the back of the sofa, and looked up at everyone.

"As I said before, World Tree's defense is beyond your imagination. No matter how strong those petrified creatures are, as long as they use normal methods such as attack and arson, they won't cause much damage to World Tree." she laughed.

She didn't worry too much.

This confidence comes from her confidence in the World Tree.

"So, if the petrified creatures are besieging you, let them come. It just so happens that I can show you what the invincible World Tree is!"

Her words made everyone present relax their brows.

"Then, what are abnormal means?" Qi Xuefei suddenly asked.

"Hmm... I don't know."

Xu Ying thought for a while, then shook her head: "The methods I can think of can't be said to be harmless to the World Tree, but they are at best scraping."

Xu Xin's heart suddenly moved: "Virus? Will the other party use viruses?"

Everyone looked at Xu Xin.

When the World Tree was still immature, Shi Wanyun received the task of injecting the virus into the World Tree to delay the maturity of the World Tree, so the other party did have a virus that could harm the World Tree.

As he said that, he took out the virus that Shi Wanyun gave him at that time and handed it to Xu Ying: "This is the virus."

Li Wenxi moved forward curiously.

And others have already seen it.

"But that virus is very weak, isn't it?" Wang Lei pointed to the virus in Xu Ying's hand, "Even if that thing is injected into an immature World Tree, it will only delay the maturity time. For mature World Trees, Can it really work?"

"It's just a possibility." Xu Xin said to himself, "Alien invaders have created the World Tree for a thousand years. Is there really no way for them to destroy the World Tree?"

"This is my first time seeing this thing."

Xu Ying was a little embarrassed, then shook the tube of virus, and analyzed: "This is a virus that only works on plants. If it is injected into your tree house, the tree house will be completely destroyed in a few seconds. Wither and die.”

The tree house is a degraded version of the ultra-small World Tree. In other words, this virus was indeed created against the World Tree.

"It's very toxic, but for World Tree, this dose is completely useless." Xu Ying handed the virus back to Xu Xin, "It's like pouring a bottle of water in the desert, it doesn't do anything to the desert at all." Instead, it will evaporate instantly."

"What dose will cause damage to World Tree?" Xu Xin asked.

"Hmm... If this tube of virus is used as the unit of measurement, hundreds of thousands of tubes may be able to play a role?" Xu Ying speculated.

Hundreds of thousands...

"Isn't that basically useless?" Wang Lei scratched his head, "This...why do we seem to be helping the other party find a way to deal with us?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

On the eve of the previous battle, they had to discuss how to deal with the enemy's attack, put forward suggestions from multiple angles, and conduct all-round defense, but now...

They couldn't even imagine how the other party could hurt the World Tree.

What's the countermeasure for this...

The petrified creatures that were so powerful before were stretched out in front of the World Tree.

"Let's not talk about this for now, brother, let's give them the authority of World Tree first." Xu Ying turned to look at Xu Xin.

"Oh?" Xu Xin subconsciously raised her left hand to scratch the watch, then shook her head, laughed at herself, put down her hand, and looked at Xu Ying, "What should I do?"

The members of the explorers who were already silent around also became interested.

Zhao Xiaochuan excitedly said: "Am I going to be the master of this World Tree too? Can I finally enter and exit the World Tree freely?"

"Hmm... I can't say it's the master. Because the masters of the World Tree are only me and my brother." After Xu Ying finished speaking, she grabbed Xu Xin's wrist and suddenly started the teleportation.

Everyone who stayed present looked at each other.

"Sister Xu Xin is really resolute, I like it!" Wen Guixin sat on the window sill and laughed.

"Well, don't take me with you..." Li Wenxi looked at everyone helplessly, "Well, where is my tree house? Is it here?"

"Ah, Wen Xi here, let me take you there." Wen Guixin jumped off the window sill.

"Oh, let's go, the smelting will continue!"

…

This is the... underground space of World Tree.

It's not the underground world, it's the underground space, the underground space wrapped by the roots of the world tree.

The core card of the world tree is shining directly above the center of the entire area.

Although it is located underground, it is still bright.

"嘤嘤嘤!嘤!嘤嘤!"

The cocoa in Xu Xin's arms was also teleported. The little guy seemed very angry, waving his little paws at Xu Ying, and screaming dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, is this little cutie scared?" Xu Ying stretched out her hand and rubbed the little guy's head and smiled.

"Hey!" Coco pushed Xu Ying's hand away.

"...Can't you tell me in advance if you teleport?" Xu Xin was also taken aback, shaking his head helplessly, then looked up at the huge world tree core above his head, "Set...permissions here?"

"Well, it's right here!" Xu Ying stepped on the ground and said with a smile.

"What...eh?"

Xu Xin felt that the roots of the world tree under his feet became active.

The activity was not violent, it slowly opened, and then a platform slowly rose from the gap.

"This is……"

"Come up quickly!" Xu Ying pulled Xu Xin to the slowly rising platform, "We will see you soon, the 'tree house screen' of World Tree."

The treehouse screen of Yggdrasil?

……Yes.

The treehouse comes with a high-tech screen!

As the ultimate full blood version of the small tree house, the world tree will naturally have the same parts.

What will the main control "screen" of World Tree look like?

The platform under his feet is still rising, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Soon, the two of them rose to a very high position, and there was only less than ten meters away from the core of the huge World Tree directly above their heads. At this time, the light was already a little dazzling.

"Then what……?"

"Oh, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!"

Suddenly, Xu Xin opened her eyes wide.

As if he was hallucinating, huge... screens suddenly appeared around him in an instant.

In other words...a ghost on the screen.

The platform where the two of them were was completely surrounded.

"This is the master control of the World Tree." Xu Ying swipe the phantom on the screen with her hand, "We can choose the permissions to give to other people on this, and... use various functions of the World Tree."
