MTL - Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 532 new buddy
After Xu Xin took the people away, the lakeside was quiet, leaving only an open space that was dry and cracked under the scorching heat and had not yet recovered.
After about ten minutes, the lake water suddenly rippled.
The school of fish that reappeared in the lake at some unknown time began to scatter wildly on the surface of the lake, and collectively scattered to the edge of the entire lake, motionless, as if they were afraid of something.
The ripples on the lake became more oscillating, spreading from the center of the lake to the surroundings, and then...
In the center of the lake, at the center of the ripples, silently, half a huge head was raised from the water.
The rock-like scales reflected dazzling light in the sun, but the giant black eyes were extremely deep, like an abyss, able to absorb all the light in the world.
And the direction that these jet-black eyes are facing is the crystal city that is less than a kilometer away that is emitting a bright white light to the surroundings.
In the lake, all the other creatures hid tremblingly at the edge of the lake, waiting for it to leave.
The head of the giant anaconda finally protruded out of the water as a whole, and the scarlet letter spit out from the closed mouth, shaking, then swung its huge body, and began to swim towards the lake.
As for the direction it was heading, the other fishes made a mess again and scattered wildly to open the way for it.
But when it was about to go ashore, it stopped suddenly.
"hiss-"
Its huge anaconda body turned around slowly, and its dark eyes stared at the bottomless lake.
In the end, it did not choose to leave the lake.
It just turned its huge head, glanced at Crystal City again, then turned around and plunged into the water. The extremely thick half of its body was exposed to the water and turned at a high speed, and finally its tail submerged into the water and disappeared.
From the time when the giant anaconda emerged from the center of the lake to when it re-entered the lake, everything was going on very peacefully, even the sound of splashes was very small.
This big guy seems to have deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting the surroundings to notice its appearance and departure.
About two minutes later, the shivering fish by the lake became active again and swam back into the lake.
The lake water has once again returned to its former calmness.
Everything is as if nothing happened.
…
On Xu Xin's side, the transplantation went very smoothly.
Although the so-called [World Tree Siege] has started, during this period of time, there was no strong enemy as they imagined, and they planted everyone's tree house in this crystal city safely. .
There are more than 100 people in total, and more than 100 emerald green banyan trees, which add a little greenness to the crystal city, which is all white and monotonous after seeing too much.
And the explorers have already selected suitable locations for these tree houses.
Because these survivors already have their own responsibilities, naturally they cannot be allowed to plant casually.
The survivors who lived under the tree house of the same explorer member before became more familiar with each other, and naturally they were willing to choose to live in the same area, and they were still in charge of their previous responsibilities.
But at this time, this group of people had already transplanted their own tree houses, and most of them gathered together to discuss.
"This is too cool!"
"Brother Lei just told us that this crystal city is the strongest line of defense and can stop the attack of the beast tide! Let us relax a little after we move here!"
"Stop the beast tide? How do you stop it?"
"I don't know, Brother Lei was too busy just now, so I didn't elaborate, and I didn't ask, anyway, I trust the boss and them unconditionally!"
"Indeed, just lie down, the boss will lead us to lie down and win!"
"Hey, hey, hey! I just identified these soils. The soil under our feet is all blue-grade!" A person suddenly poked his head out of the tree house and shouted excitedly.
"real or fake?!"
He looked back into the tree house, and exclaimed again: "Hold the grass
! One is purple! Purple grade soil! "
These survivors who took refuge in the explorers were immersed in great surprises.
And the tree houses of their explorer members are gathered around the world tree.
That is, the large open space behind the palace.
They planted a tree house about 100 meters away from the trunk of the World Tree, completely surrounding and protecting the still growing World Tree.
Xu Xin's tree house was planted behind the Crystal Palace, and the entire canopy was almost close to the palace.
Even from the window of his tree house, he could jump directly into the balcony on the second and third floors of the palace, without going through the main entrance.
Lou Feier, Ma Hongwei and their tree house are planted near Xu Xin's tree house.
After everyone has dealt with their affairs, they gather under the world tree.
"So, is the location of our tree house fixed here?" Wen Guixin looked at the tree house surrounded by a circle.
"It feels good." Zhao Xiaochuan is very satisfied with the existing layout, "We can finally be regarded as real neighbors. And isn't it good for us to live in the center? Let the rest of them live around .”
"It's just a temporary layout." Ji Zhaoyang shook his head, "The current layout is just for the convenience of us protecting this young world tree that is about to be besieged."
"I think the current position is not bad." Xu Xin said of the position of his tree house, he looked at his tree house and said, "I don't plan to change positions, if you are not satisfied with the current position , then just change positions after this incident is over.”
After all, under the influence of this world tree, their tree house can be transplanted at any time!
Now that the situation is urgent, let's arrange it like this first, and when the world tree really grows and is safe, they can transplant it in whatever way they want.
Transplant to the lake to enjoy the lake view, or get closer to other survivors, or even transplant to outside the Crystal City, whatever they want to transplant, is all possible.
"That's right, let's talk about it when the time comes. Now our goal is to protect this world tree!" Wang Lei looked full of enthusiasm, "This world tree is so powerful that it can influence so much in its infancy. Range, so that those of us can transplant perfectly, if this grows into..."
"If it grows up, I feel that our beautiful life is coming! Haha!" Zhao Xiaochuan laughed, "An adult World Tree must have various functions!"
"...It would be great if Wen Xi was here." Qi Xuefei sighed, "Now that Wen Xi is not here, I always feel that our team is incomplete."
"...Wen Xi will be fine." Xu Xin said in silence.
He would observe Wen Xi's name from time to time during this time, but fortunately her name was always lit up.
But still can't get in touch.
He looked up at the World Tree that was still growing and even making "crackling" sounds.
The current state of this banyan tree can already be called a towering giant tree.
After this period of growth, the tree has grown to a height of 100 meters, about the height of a 30-story building. The crown of the tree is extremely dense, covering the sky and the sun, and it has completely covered the area in the center of the crystal.
The dense canopy cannot reveal a ray of light, but the light of Crystal City itself is enough to make the surroundings very bright.
"Wait, something seems wrong!" At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan looked up at the Crystal City Road, "If the light here is covered, if there is no sunlight, how can we plant it?"
He is in charge of planting and will be more concerned about this aspect.
"Then don't plant it here." Wen Guixin glanced around, "How can there be planted in the city center? Isn't there a large area on the edge of Crystal City that can be planted? Don't we have rice and wheat seeds? Planting it there is the most suitable place. No matter how big this World Tree is, it can’t cover the entire Crystal City, right?”
"Then... what about the advanced fruits? I grow them all in the tree house
The ones planted indoors mature more slowly outside, right? "Zhao Xiaochuan said with a headache, "Then I can only move outside in the future?"
"There is no need to worry about this for the time being." Xu Xin shook his head and said, "This crystal city can affect soil fertility, and maybe it can also affect the growth of plants. Maybe this white light is more useful than sunlight. And..."
He looked up.
"Also, don't forget the most important tree." Ji Zhaoyang also reminded.
That's right.
The juvenile world tree in front of me is not just a towering tree that can cover the sky and the sun.
The seed that planted it is called [Superior Tree House Seed].
This is a growing tree house!
A giant tree house!
In other words, when it grows up, there should be an extremely large space above it!
He thought of the towering giant tree in the video with Shi Wanyun. At that time, the canopy of the tree house was brightly lit.
Maybe when the tree house grows, they will all move in and live there.
"Ah, that's right!" Zhao Xiaochuan clapped his hands and suddenly said, "Maybe we can live there in the future!"
"Let's talk about this after the World Tree grows, for now..."
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, his watch suddenly vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw that it was Lou Feier's voice.
Because of her and Jin Yue's speed, he just sent the two of them to the edge of Crystal City to check the surrounding situation, and report any abnormality immediately.
He immediately connected the voice: "What happened?"
"The beast tide is coming soon!"
The beast tide is coming?
Xu Xin was a little puzzled.
He has been paying attention to the map in his mind. So far there are no bright red spots around him. At most, there are ordinary beasts that start to appear after the jungle returns to normal temperature.
But Lou Feier's explanation immediately made him and all the explorer members around him stare and tense up.
"On the ground, a teleportation pattern appeared! It's very similar to the one drawn by Shi Wanyun!"
Do you want to directly send the mutated creatures over again!
The beast tide in the last cold winter was transmitted through the teleportation patterns all over the place. At that time, they also used the thick snow layer to hide the teleportation patterns and the mutated creatures that were very dizzy due to the side effects of the teleportation. them.
Don't hide it this time!
"The lines are getting brighter and brighter, it's blood lines! What should I do? There are too many lines!" Lou Feier's voice was a little anxious.
"Where are the array patterns?" Ji Zhaoyang asked, "Is it only outside the city? Or is there also on the ground inside the city?"
"Ah, not in the city!" Lou Feier immediately said, "Only outside the city, and there should be a distance of about 100 meters from the edge of Crystal City!"
Sure enough, the city is safe. The beast horde should attack the inside from the outside.
All the explorers around were frowning, thinking about countermeasures.
Crystal City...is too big.
Their current position is more than two kilometers away from the periphery, and the entire area is so large, and the edge of the city is too long, they simply cannot take care of all positions.
So if the beast horde really invaded the city, they couldn't stop these beasts from entering the city.
"Since you can't stop it, then don't stop it." At this time, Ji Zhaoyang said in a deep voice.
"Let them all come in, just to verify the ability of this crystal city." Xu Xin also nodded.
"So what should we do now? These teleportation patterns are getting brighter and brighter, and it feels like the teleportation is about to start!"
"Don't panic!" Xu Xin said immediately, "As long as we are in Crystal City, we will be in a favorable position. Is Jinyue with you?"
"I'm here." Jin Yue responded immediately.
"Okay, don't go out of the edge of Crystal City, I'll go and have a look right away!"
With that said, Xu Xin turned onto the wolf.
"You want to go there, brother Xin?"
"Well, I'll go see the situation with my own eyes, and you can come together, but it's best to leave a few people near the World Tree and guard here! Silver King, let's go!"
"Aww—"
The Silver King immediately shuttled back and forth in the crystal town, while Xu Xin was wearing a silver purple-grade steel armor. One man and one wolf flew past the city like a flash of silver lightning, causing the other survivors to exclaim.
"Mom, is that brother Xin?"
"So fast! This is too fast! No car is so fast!"
"You guys, go back quickly, Brother Chaoyang just issued a notice, the beast horde is coming!"
And Xu Xin also quickly reached the edge of the city, to where Lou Fei'er was.
"Look!"
Lou Feier immediately pointed to the outside of the city.
The ground outside the city was densely covered with blood-colored teleportation patterns.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed very similar to Shi Wanyun's drawing, even the size is similar.
However, these blood streaks should have nothing to do with her now.
She is now being guarded by both Zeng Tao and ***, but she has never had a chance to act. Xu Xin also asked Zeng Tao to chat with her more, to see if they could get any additional information.
"this is…"
He came at the right time.
Outside the city, the teleportation pattern was at the peak brightness of the blood-red light. Immediately afterwards, the position of the entire pattern was gradually eroded by the purple-black energy!
At the position of each pattern, it gradually became a purple-black vortex, slowly spinning!
It's like a vortex trap on the ground one by one, as if as long as you step into it, you will fall into the endless abyss!
but…
Suddenly, a **** claw stretched out from a purple-black vortex, and then grabbed the ground.
Then, among the many vortexes, different claws stretched out, and various blood-striped creatures poked their heads out of the purple-black vortex!
Countless blood-red eyes all looked straight at the direction of Xu Xin and the others, and bared their sharp fangs at the same time!
The mutated biological group finally appeared!
Many mutated creatures crawled out of the vortex, and suddenly, the city was filled with darkness, which seemed full of oppression!
"...a lot of mid-level mutations!" Lou Feier said nervously.
"Almost one out of every ten is a mid-level mutant creature." Jin Yue's eyes were serious.
That being said... Judging from the current number, there may be hundreds of mid-level mutant creatures at a glance!
This is only one direction!
However, the size of these mutated creatures is still larger than that of ordinary beasts.
It seems... they all have a trace of giant beast blood?
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly.
It depends on whether Crystal City can play a role.
Many mutated creatures didn't seem to want to rush over directly, but stood in place without taking any action.
...a side effect of teleportation?
"Oh!"
Just as he was watching the group of mutated creatures, a familiar cry suddenly sounded from his side.
cocoa?
The little guy got out from behind a crystal building, ran to his side in two steps, and climbed onto his shoulder.
"Ah, Keke is back?" Lou Fei'er turned her head and glanced, "You little guy, luckily you came back before the beast horde came!"
"Oh!"
"Why now... what is this?"
Just when Ke Ke yelled, a crystal clear orb fell from its mouth, and Xu Xin immediately reached out to grab it and caught it.
It is a pearl that exudes a bright white light.
Treehouse Core?
But...why is it so small?
It was about the size of a grape~www.novelbuddy.com~ None of the mutated creatures around launched an attack, because there were so many of them, Xu Xin didn't bother to go out and consume them by himself, so he took the opportunity to size up the orb.
He held the orb in his hands and raised it up to look at the sun.
He didn't see anything, but a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
[Xu Xin, it's me! 】
Ok?
His pupils shrank.
Wen Xi? !
Wen Xi's voice?
what's the situation?
