Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Walking slowly in this "market", Xu Xin's mentality gradually calmed down.

As long as they are careful, there will be no problem.

Of course, if you want to steal things from these "stalls", you still need to experiment.

Xu Xin once again returned to the stall where the sleepy alien invader was.

At this time, most of the eyes of the bumpy alien invader in front of him were still closed, with only a few eyes half-open.

The reason is that this place is on the outermost edge. Compared with the location deep into the market, no alien invader has visited here since they walked out of the corridor.

Therefore, this stall is very suitable for him to practice his skills.

If the method he thought of before would be found at this stall, then he would have to think of another way.

Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue had already taken out their personal weapons at this time, so that if something went wrong, they could take action quickly.

Li Wenxi looked at the piece of metal on the stall and whispered to Xu Xin: "You can steal that piece of metal. It feels like a good thing."

The alien stall owner, who was resting behind the stall with his eyes closed, trembled slightly again and opened part of his eyes slightly.

Several raised bumps on its body suddenly stretched, rubbing several parts of its body.

[What...situation...uncomfortable...]

[It’s time to…rest…go back…]

The intermittent voice sounded in Xu Xin's mind again.

According to Xu Xin's observation, the body part that the alien invaders were rubbing just now should be where their ear holes are.

Their ears are not as many as their eyes. They are similar to earth creatures, with only a few parts. This is what the monster told them before.

Therefore, the alien invaders' hearing is not actually very good and is not much different from human hearing.

But even so, the alien invaders still heard Li Wenxi's whisper just now.

It rubbed the area where its ear holes were uncomfortably again, then twisted its dark, uneven body with eyes, and returned to the state of resting with its eyes closed.

Li Wenxi just spoke because she wanted to see the reaction of the alien invaders. Seeing the stall owner opposite behave like this, she completely believed Xu Xin's previous inference.

But she also knew that speaking any more would make the stall owner, who had closed his eyes to meditate, open his eyes again, so she stopped speaking.

Xu Xin took action.

He was always paying attention to the movements of the alien stall owner in front of him, and at the same time, he slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the metal block that was emitting golden light.

[Unknown metal (gold): An unstable metal that is radioactive and can cause harm to the human body if kept close for a long time. It is one of the components of the alien battleship hull alloy. 】

It turns out to be an unstable radioactive metal...

The corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched slightly.

He already felt his palms were a little itchy.

But is this thing actually one of the metal components of the battleship hull alloy?

No wonder it’s gold-level quality.

But this thing is of little use to Xu Xin and the others for the time being.

However, the purpose now is to test his method, and whether it is useful is secondary.

Xu Xin gently touched the metal with the bracelet on his wrist, and then the metal disappeared from under his hand.

The four of them were watching the stall owner nervously.

At least the disappearance of the washbasin-sized metal block did not cause any reaction from the alien stall owner.

The half-opened eyes in the gaps of the body are still dull, as if they have completely forgotten their mission as eyes.

Xu Xin slowly retracted her hand and stood up slowly.

The stall owner in front of him still showed no reaction.

It worked.

As it should.

The metal he pressed was equivalent to an inconspicuous pebble on the roadside.

An inconspicuous pebble suddenly disappears, naturally it cannot attract anyone's attention.

Of course, at some point later, the stall owner may find that a piece of metal is missing from his stall.

But at least now it can't find it, so there's no problem.

This method is feasible.

"Keke, lead the way." Xu Xin tugged on the ear of the little guy in her arms.

"Hey..."

Coco stretched out a small paw from the package of the cloak and pointed towards the place where the alien invaders were most concentrated.

Are you really going there...

The place Coco pointed to should be the core part of the entire market.

There are a total of thousands of alien invaders in this area, and there are at least five hundred in that area.

"Let's go." Xu Xin said softly.

Li Wenxi nodded slightly.

With Jin Yue and Lou Fei'er in front of them and behind them, the four of them walked slowly towards the goal.

Xu Xin began to pay attention to the stalls passing by.

On these stalls, there were always a few things emitting golden light, which made him itchy and wanted to steal them.

Even if it is something that is of no use to them now like the piece of metal just now, it is at least a gold-level item, and it is a gold-level item that can be identified, which may be used in the future.

But alas, now is not the time for such things.

They are still in a situation where they have to race against time.

All four warships of the alien invaders were dispatched, and Xu Xin felt that Ji Chaoyang's side might not be able to hold on for long.

They have already prepared an escape route, and they may not need to worry too much about their safety, but if that side is breached and the warships return, the situation here will be troublesome.

So we must act quickly.

The four of them moved forward steadily, and gradually, more and more alien invaders moved freely around them.

Two alien invaders have already passed them by.

Xu Xin discovered that it seemed that they did not need to deliberately avoid the oncoming alien invaders.

These alien invaders seem to subconsciously move slightly around them to avoid hitting them head-on.

Xu Xin's heart moved.

This seems to be explainable.

It's not like they disappeared, but they had no sense of existence.

The alien invaders can actually still see them, they just don't take them seriously.

Therefore, when they came face to face with them, they subconsciously did not want to bump into Xu Xin and the others, but subconsciously chose to avoid them slightly.

This actually made Xu Xin and the four of them feel a lot more relaxed.

Continuing forward, we passed one stall after another.

There are more and more alien invaders around us.

Li Wenxi leaned towards Xu Xin, because there was an alien invader with tentacle eyes passing by her.

Watching at such a close distance, the physical discomfort became more intense, and even Jin Yue couldn't help but turn her head away.

"Ugh..." Coco called out softly again and pointed forward.

The density of alien invaders ahead is quite high.

There were at least hundreds of alien invaders surrounding it, and it was even a bit overwhelming.

The alien invaders huddled together were like a wriggling mass of pitch-black mud, with many pulsating pitch-black tentacles growing on it, and countless eyes struggling in the squeeze.

...It looks like a scene only found in hell.

When Xu Xin and the other four saw this scene, their throats rolled involuntarily.

I feel like my body is covered in goosebumps.

The alien invaders huddled together in front of them seemed to be particularly interested in something.

In fact, some of the alien invaders crowded in the back even stretched out tentacles from their bodies, reached high, and looked in with the eyes on the tentacles.

"this……"

Xu Xin felt that the cold sweat on her forehead was about to break out again.

What they want is inside?

Is this for them to squeeze in?

...It would be better to commit suicide directly.

"Hey..." Coco pointed to the pile of alien invaders again.

All right.

It's really inside.

【Amazing……】

【Don’t...me...】

[Let...see...]

[Actually...selling...things...]

There were so many alien invaders here, and countless voices sounded in his mind.

After listening for a long time, Xu Xin didn't understand why they were gathered here. He only knew that the thing was considered a good thing for them.

"Let's go around a little bit." Xu Xin whispered.

His words did not attract the attention of the surrounding alien invaders, because the "people" here were surging, and the unpleasant voices of the alien invaders were also very noisy, covering up Xu Xin's whispers.

"Yeah." Li Wenxi frowned and nodded.

The weird and unpleasant noises made by alien invaders are really uncomfortable.

She felt that her head was already a little dizzy.

Unexpectedly, just the sound of alien invaders can cause harm to them!

The four of them circled around the alien invaders, but still couldn't find a place to enter.

You can't even see the gap to look inside.

A place about the size of several stalls was surrounded by hundreds of alien invaders.

"Ugh..." Coco whispered.

The little guy looked a little scared looking at the group of alien invaders.

But it really wanted to go in, and even started to move in Xu Xin's arms.

With its small body, if it can go unnoticed, it can indeed slip through the gaps in the group of external intruders.

But Xu Xin couldn't let it get in by itself.

First of all, it was a question of whether it would be discovered, and he couldn't risk it.

"Don't move, we'll wait a moment."

Xu Xin and the others were a little away from the group of "people" crowding "people".

"It's a bit troublesome..." Xu Xin looked at the dark mud mass crowded together and frowned.

"More than just a little, this is a big trouble, hmm..."

Lou Feier stuffed an orange that had been peeled long ago into her mouth.

The sounds of the alien invaders just now made her a little dizzy, so she used oranges to wake up.

"Could it be that what so many alien invaders are focusing on is what we want?" Li Wenxi looked away from the black mud and asked Xu Xin and the others.

"Probably." Jin Yue nodded lightly, "It's too difficult for us to take what they want in full view of them."

Xu Xin frowned because of this question.

There are many alien invaders on one hand, but the important thing is that so many alien invaders are all looking at their targets with all their eyes open.

His previous method was simply not feasible. His previous method was only suitable for stealing, not for robbing in full view of the public.

"What should we do..." Xu Xin muttered to himself.

A few minutes passed, and the alien invaders were still there, with no change.

"These guys have been around here and haven't moved much." Li Wenxi looked over and said, "Are we going to keep waiting like this?"

Xu Xin was silent.

It feels like they don’t have that much time left.

If you keep waiting, who knows how long it will take.

They have to do something to shake things up, and time waits for no one.

how should I do it……

Xu Xin touched her backpack.

He has a bold idea.

"Do you think that if I throw the scarlet crystal out of my backpack, will it attract their attention?" Xu Xin said softly, "Will they be attracted to the scarlet crystal and then disperse?"

"Ah?" Li Wenxi was startled for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "Yes! There is also scarlet crystal! That thing should be very attractive to them, right?"

Lou Fei'er looked at Xu Xin's backpack: "The crystal is very bright, and it will definitely attract their attention. How many more do you have in your hand? Didn't you give a lot to Yingying before?"

"I gave half of it, and there are still a dozen pills, which are definitely enough." Xu Xin said.

"Are you sure... it's useful?" Jin Yue said suddenly, she frowned slightly, "This is the base camp of alien invaders. Will the people here... be short of scarlet crystals?"

Xu Xin touched her chin.

Indeed, the alien invaders here should all be subordinates of the leader, and they should have no shortage of scarlet crystals as the "source of life".

Scarlet crystal may indeed not be very attractive to them.

A person who never lacks water and drinks water when he is thirsty will not be attracted by a bottle of water.

But a scarlet crystal is not the same as a bottle of water.

It's bright!

Just by being there, it's very noticeable.

Not to mention that this thing is still a completely controlled contraband.

If they suddenly appear, even if these alien invaders never lack scarlet crystals, they will definitely attract their attention.

It is even possible to cause complete chaos in this market, to cause those mechanical jellyfish to completely riot, and to let the existence that controls those mechanical jellyfish come forward.

So, this is indeed a method, but this method will definitely make things big.

It's so big that it might even affect their actions in another World Tree.

Do you want to take action?

Or should we wait?

"嘤...嘤!" Coco shouted twice.

Xu Xin can clearly feel Coco's desire for something surrounded by alien invaders.

"Let's do it." Lou Feier whispered, "We don't have much time to hesitate."

Li Wenxi also nodded: "I also think this method is very suitable."

"I think it won't affect the overall situation." Jin Yue whispered, "It's not the same World Tree here and there. This World Tree can be entered and exited at will, and there are so many alien invaders. Even if we throw Scarlet Crystal, they should also think that there are traitors among them, and they are suspicious of these alien invaders at the scene."

Xu Xin nodded slightly.

Indeed.

If they use scarlet crystal as bait, there shouldn't be any big problems.

At most, this world tree is in chaos.

The one who will have an impact on the overall situation should be Yingying.

If a small piece of scarlet crystal is used as bait over there, then the other party will probably be on high alert.

I don't know what's going on over there, or whether they've found their target.

"Okay, then it's decided. Use scarlet crystal as bait to completely disrupt this market." Xu Xin said softly.

"Hey, I thought of a plan." Lou Feier whispered to the three of them.

Lou Fei'er's plan is not complicated.

First of all, it definitely couldn't be Xu Xin simply throwing scarlet crystals.

In this way, his position is easily exposed, and the scarlet crystals are not scattered, so he cannot attract more people's attention at the same time, and it is easy to attract people to him, which is putting the cart before the horse.

"Leave the matter of throwing the scarlet crystal to me and Jin Yue." Lou Fei'er glanced at Jin Yue.

Jin Yue nodded.

Lou Fei'er smiled slightly: "The two of us took the scarlet crystal to a farther location and found the right time to throw the scarlet crystal directly."

She pointed in two different directions: "I will go in that direction, and Jinyue will go in the other direction. In this way, scarlet crystals will appear in two directions at the same time. Let's throw a few more to attract their attention completely."

"Wen Xi will stay here, responsible for observing the movements of the jellyfish machines above. Once they are attracted away, these clustered alien invaders will also be lured away or slightly dispersed..." Lou Fei'er pointed to the big group. Some terrifying creeping black mud.

"I can take advantage of the chaos and go in and steal what I want to take away." Xu Xin whispered.

The plan he just had in mind coincided with Lou Fei'er's plan.

Jin Yue nodded slightly and agreed with the plan.

Now was not the time for further discussion. He immediately decided: "This plan is feasible."

Xu Xin said, putting the bracelet into her backpack and storing six red crystals. She then put the hand with the bracelet into the backpacks of Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue respectively, and gave three to each of them.

He didn't put the small piece of scarlet crystal into the bracelet before because everyone in the bracelet had not been released yet. If the scarlet crystal was put in, the light would affect everyone.

But now, there are only monsters in his bracelet, and monsters will not be affected by the scarlet crystal.

However, the fact that the crystal was put in just now must have attracted the attention of the monster.

It's time to find an opportunity to release the monster.

"You two, you must be careful. It is best to wrap the scarlet crystal well when throwing it, and move it immediately to avoid being discovered." Xu Xin warned.

"Don't worry, Jin Yue and I are very good at this." Lou Feier patted her chest.

"There's no problem on my side." Li Wenxi whispered.

Xu Xin touched Coco in his arms: "Coco, you should know how to get out of this World Tree."

If you can bring them in, you can naturally take them out.

The previous corridor could only be entered but not exited, and there was another exit.

After they succeed, they must leave immediately, otherwise they may be blocked in the World Tree, and the probability of being discovered will be greatly increased.

"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head.

It seems everything is ready.

"Let's get started. Let's disrupt this World Tree."
