Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The white mountain slowly rose from the position of the lake, and under everyone's shocked eyes, it slowly showed its original appearance.

"Oh my God!"

"This...what is this!"

"Bug?! Is it...a bug?"

"Are you kidding? How could there be such a huge bug?!"

"But...but..."

The milky-white giant insect slowly crawled out from the lake, gradually revealing a small part of its huge body.

But just this small part has already made everyone present feel an unparalleled shock.

A...a giant worm that is hundreds of meters thick, milky white, and slowly squirming!

This giant insect just crawled out of the ground with its head, and it already gave people the feeling of a mountain!

This is nearly two hundred meters high!

The diameter of this giant insect's body alone is almost two hundred meters? !

What is the concept of two hundred meters?

The height of fifty or sixty stories!

Just in terms of thickness, it's so thick that one can't even imagine its length.

I'm afraid... it must be at least a few kilometers long!

Even the head of this insect that just emerged from the ground can make people feel dizzy.

A sense of fear towards giant things that are far beyond the ordinary!

Among the people present, there were inevitably people who were afraid of bugs. After all, they were just ordinary people who came from the underground world, and their will was not that strong. After seeing this extremely terrifying beast, some even started to have weak legs and tremble. Woke up.

"It's... it's really a bug! Hold the grass! It's really a bug!"

"Oh my God, my God, is its head turning this way?!"

"This... where did this insect come from?! Did it... come up from the ground!"

"What on earth is going on in this world?!"

The members of the Explorers who were still in charge of the overall situation here held their breaths one by one as they looked at this giant insect that seemed to be able to drill holes in the world.

"It... shouldn't be here to attack us, right?" Qi Xuefei grabbed Ji Chaoyang's arm and asked.

"...I don't know." Ji Chaoyang also narrowed his pupils, staring at the giant insect's every move, and at the same time issued an order, "All those who control the external weapons in the direction of the giant insect, aim your weapons at this giant insect. ! But don’t launch, don’t act rashly!”

Ji Chaoyang's order also calmed down everyone present.

"Quick! Everyone, aim at the giant insect!"

"Yes, we have weapons, what are we afraid of!"

"Grass, although it is a huge monster, this guy is also a living thing. I don't believe it. Our nuclear weapons can't kill it!"

"Go crazy! Don't use nuclear weapons! That place is only two kilometers away from the outskirts of Crystal City! Do you want to blow us up too?"

"The World Tree will protect us! How can conventional weapons deal with such a monster!"

"Everyone! Calm down!"

Ji Chaoyang spoke and silenced the surroundings again.

"We saw this giant insect in the underground world. It was very friendly to us at the time and even helped us return to the surface. We just need to stay vigilant and don't actively provoke it!"

Everyone was in an uproar again.

"Have the explorer bosses encountered this giant insect?!"

"Invincible, invincible!"

"Oh my god, are the explorer bosses and this giant insect old acquaintances?"

"Is it here to help us?"

"Ah! That giant insect has already looked over!"

The flow speed inside and outside the World Tree is different. Although it has been noisy for a while inside the World Tree, it only lasted a few seconds outside the World Tree.

And just in these few seconds, the terrifying giant head of the giant insect sticking out of the ground had completely turned towards the World Tree.

On the huge head, there were several pairs of terrifying pitch-black insect eyes, which seemed to be aligned with everyone in the World Tree.

Everyone present held their breath.

The giant insect has a total of ten pairs of eyes, and each eye is a dark dot. Although it is very small compared to the body of the giant insect, each dark dot has a diameter of more than one meter!

Being injected with dozens of pairs of eyes like this, it's really hard not to feel fear!

"Bang!"

At this time, a cannonball was fired from the crown of the World Tree and flew toward the giant insect at high speed!

This sudden situation made everyone take a breath of cold air.

Cannonballs with a speed of fifty times the speed of sound flew towards the mountain-like body of the giant insect at extremely high speed, and then...

"boom!"

Exploded on its head!

Everyone present who was watching this scene in 100x slow play felt suffocated.

"Who?!" Ji Chaoyang immediately turned to look at the others with sharp eyes.

"No...not me!"

"Are you crazy! Who hit me!"

"You must be sick! That giant insect is not necessarily the enemy!"

"It's over, it's over, it's over, this is an enemy even if it's not an enemy!"

The explosion only lasts for a moment, but the World Tree will extend this moment a hundred times.

And this hundred times the time is extremely difficult for people in the World Tree!

"We...should we attack directly?"

"We've already provoked it, so why don't we just stop doing it and just...!"

"Fuck you, listen to the bosses' orders, who let you make your own decisions! Also, who was the one who attacked just now!?"

One person suddenly looked around.

He is a soldier in the Underground World Guard, responsible for coordinating attacks in one of the eight directions around the World Tree.

And his direction was exactly the direction of the giant insect's probe. In other words, it was his men who launched the missile just now!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him looked at a trembling person.

"me……"

The man's face was pale, his body was still trembling, his teeth were chattering, and he didn't dare to look at the scene outside: "I didn't mean it... I'm afraid of bugs. I had a shadow of bugs when I was a child. Such a big bug, I I can’t control myself…”

It turned out that one of the people was too frightened by the gaze of the giant insect, causing his hands to shake.

But the people around him only glanced at him, and then all turned their attention to the giant insect a few kilometers away.

At this time, the flames of the explosion dissipated, and after the smoke rose into the sky, the blasted part of the giant insect was revealed.

It was not completely unscathed, there was even a large wound caused by the explosion.

Even conventional missiles cannot be resisted by flesh and blood!

However, under the shocked gaze of everyone, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even within the World Tree, the external scene is slowed down a hundred times, but it is still as fast as the naked eye!

It only took three seconds for the wound to heal completely.

This is three seconds in the World Tree!

There is only thirty milliseconds outside the World Tree. With this recovery speed, if you were outside, you might not be able to see the wound healing process. You can only see the skin that was still unscathed after being blasted by the cannonball!

"This recovery speed..." Ji Chaoyang looked at the giant insect nervously.

Fortunately, the giant insect outside the World Tree did not seem angry because of this shot.

It seemed unfazed by the tickling damage Yggdrasil was inflicting on it.

It just glanced at World Tree and continued to drill out from the ground.

The location where it emerged was actually the lake from before!

At this time, there was no water in the lake at all. Only a giant insect filled it up and crawled out.

The sudden appearance of the giant insect was so intimidating that both sides temporarily stopped fighting.

Suddenly, the bombing sound that had lasted for at least an hour became sporadic, and both sides seemed to be observing every move of the giant insect.

The giant insect didn't seem to care about the battle site at all. It still squirmed its mountain-like body and climbed out of the original lake.

It is said to be crawling, but because of its large size, it is very fast. It is almost crawling outward at a speed of twenty meters per second.

But even so, for a whole minute, its body has not been completely drilled out.

In one minute, more than an hour has passed in the World Tree.

But now, because they are used to seeing the situation outside, the people in World Tree no longer panic about the scene outside.

They've even started making bets.

"Haha, you lose! Now the length of this giant insect's drilling has exceeded one kilometer!"

"Fake, it's too long! Don't be complacent. The length of 1,500 meters you guessed should be almost there, right?"

"According to World Tree's calculations, it has now drilled out 1,245 meters!"

"The length is too scary..."

"The diameter of this bug is hundreds of meters. Isn't it normal to have a length of several kilometers? I guess two thousand meters!"

"I guess three thousand meters!"

In the few minutes since the giant insect appeared, the alien invaders stopped attacking and began to wait and see.

In order not to alert them to the variable of attracting giant insects, Ji Chaoyang also issued an order to make these people stop attacking.

Their mission is to hold back the alien invaders' army for as long as possible. Now that the other party has stopped attacking, they will naturally not take the initiative to stir up trouble.

A ceasefire is fine, as long as you don't leave, the longer it lasts the better.

But the giant insect was still squirming outward unhurriedly.

"It's over 1,500 meters!"

"One thousand six hundred meters!"

"One thousand eight hundred meters away!"

"Two thousand meters! We have exceeded two thousand meters!"

People in the World Tree kept exclaiming.

"Hey... why do I feel like this bug wants to surround us?" Suddenly, a person said, "Look, its body is bending towards us now, right?"

Everyone looked, and sure enough, the head of the giant insect was moving towards Crystal City.

"What are you thinking about? Do you know how big Crystal City is? It is five kilometers long from east to west, north to south! If it wants to surround Crystal City, even if it is close to Crystal City, it must be nearly twenty kilometers long. How is this possible? ?”

"...Are you sure it's impossible?"

"...It shouldn't be that big, right? It's only two hundred meters thick. If its body length is twenty kilometers, wouldn't it mean that its body length is more than a hundred times its thickness? Then it would be too thin overall..."

"'Only' two hundred meters thick? Too thin?"

"Niubi, my brother's vision cannot match mine."

"I'll just discuss the matter!"

No matter how the people in the world tree guessed, they could not affect the squirming progress of the giant insect outside.

It began to squirm faster.

Three thousand meters...

Four thousand meters...

Everyone in the World Tree is already a little numb.

In the gambling game, some people have actually made a bet of 20 kilometers.

But at this time, the situation changed.

The alien invaders can no longer hold themselves back.

Countless cannonballs were flying towards this side, and the target turned out to be the giant insect!

The alien invaders chose to fight the giant insect first!

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The giant insect's mountain-like body was unable to dodge at all, and all these shells hit the giant insect one by one.

For a moment, part of the giant insect's body was covered in thick smoke.

"They really couldn't help but take action first." Qi Xuefei said softly.

"Yeah, it seems we can relax a little bit." Ji Chaoyang was always paying attention to the situation outside, and his tone became slightly more relaxed at this time.

The giant insect didn't seem to have any idea about their previous shot, but now, the alien invaders have begun to bombard it!

As for the reason why the alien invaders bombarded it, Ji Chaoyang could also think of it.

A super behemoth without any traces of blood, in the eyes of the alien invaders, it is an object that they are completely unable to control.

This creature can be said to be native to the earth, and it has a super high IQ, so in their view, this giant beast should be on the same side as the humans in the area.

The reason why they haven't taken action for so long is probably because...

Ji Chaoyang glanced down.

I'm afraid it's because of that person's missed shot just now.

That shot might have made the other party hesitate.

That shot made them think that the giant insect might not be on the side of humans on earth. Otherwise, why would humans bombard it?

Moreover, since humans bombarded it, it should also attack humans, right?

With this kind of thinking, the other party has not taken action against the giant insect during this period of time.

After all, they have been attacking for nearly an hour before pushing the front to about ten kilometers. This group of humans is very strong, and one more helper is a helper.

Ji Chaoyang wanted to laugh.

Unexpectedly, the man's missed shot just now created a situation that was beneficial to them.

Even the giant insect that was bombarded did not take action against the humans who bombarded it, and there was even a situation where Crystal City was about to be surrounded.

It's as if... he wants to protect Crystal City and the World Tree.

So, the other party no longer waited and took action immediately!

They decided to deal with the giant insect first.

It's just a giant insect of flesh and blood. No matter how big the giant insect is, it's just a body of flesh and blood.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"

Countless missiles leaped over and exploded in various parts of the giant insect.

Focused on the head of the giant insect.

However, amidst the smoke, the giant insect still maintained its original speed and wriggled forward.

The mountain-like head emerged from the smoke.

The moment it emerged, the people in the World Tree saw some wounds on its head, and even a big hole of flesh and blood that made people feel a little physically uncomfortable.

But in the next moment, these wounds were completely healed.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Strong, invincible!"

"This healing speed is really strong!"

Ji Chaoyang's eyes did move.

This characteristic is very similar to what Xu Ying said before about the giant from thousands of years ago.

But the giant is because it has a compression core that combines the essence of all technologies.

Does this giant insect also exist?

wrong……

It's Crystal City!

This giant insect may be relying on the energy of Crystal City to recover!

The evidence is that the brightness that Crystal City is emitting now seems to be much higher than before!

if it is like this……

Ji Chaoyang thought of the giant core Xu Ying left behind when she left.

That core can provide super power for the behemoths. If the opponent's battle line has been pushed under the World Tree and pushed into the Crystal City, then this core can be of great use.

but……

What would happen if this core was given to this giant insect?

Ji Chaoyang took a deep breath as he looked at the squirming giant insect that was still moving forward despite the missile fire.

…

In the underground world, the flying shuttle is still moving quickly, but the speed seems to have dropped.

"Are we going to the complicated area you mentioned?"

Li Wenxi asked Lao Yang, the driver in front.

She asked Xu Xin to release her from the bracelet because she also wanted to see this unexplored underground world.

"Yes." Lao Yang nodded, "In about two minutes, we will be traveling through very complex terrain. The speed will drop a lot by then, but don't worry, there is only one hour of travel left."

"Have you always been traveling in the underground world like this? It's really hard..." Li Wenxi sighed.

"Is this considered hard work? Traveling through the underground world is one of the few times we have free time." Old Yang said without looking back.

"Uh...that's it..." Li Wenxi said sheepishly.

Xu Xin looked forward.

The terrain at this time has become very rugged. It looks like there are countless giant stalactites hanging down from the dome, and there are also peaks ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters on the ground.

The area through which aircraft can travel is becoming increasingly narrow.

The speed of the flying shuttle continued to decrease.

"Ah, the front is... blocked!" Li Wenxi said in surprise.

In front of Reluctant is a whole stone wall, connecting the ground and the dome of the underground world three or four kilometers apart, completely blocking the road ahead.

At a glance, it seems that we have reached the end of the underground world.

But if you look closely, you will see that there are various dense holes on the stone wall that you can drill into.

"Next, we have to enter this area." Lao Yang said.

"Support pillar?" Xu Xin suddenly asked, "Is this the 'support pillar' of the underground world?"

He had learned before that the underground world was supported by support pillars hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

"Do you still know about the support pillar?" Lao Yang turned back in surprise, and then said, "This is not a support pillar. It can only be said... that it is the peripheral terrain of the support pillar. However, what is surrounded by this terrain is indeed the support pillar. . And our World Tree is planted on this support pillar."

Is that why we have to cross this rugged terrain?

"Huh?" At this time, Coco, who had been lying in Xu Xin's arms, suddenly moved his ears, raised his little head, and looked towards the stone wall they were about to drill into, "...Huh?"

"What's wrong Coco?"

"Uh-huh? Huh-huh..."

Coco stretched out her little paw and tugged at Xu Xin's clothes.

It means...

Is there danger inside?
