Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1202 - 631: Deep into the Giant Beasts, Sudden Incident! (Part 3)

It can’t hover, so it can only circle in the general area above.

"... The speed is too fast, I can’t jump."

At this speed, jumping down would likely lead to being flung and crushed.

Xu Xin looked at the stone giant beast in front of him, rubbed his chin: "Huihui, try landing on the beast."

Though Huihui seemed incredibly large with wings spread, its wings folded quite compact.

Four or five meters in height, it was quite slender, just a small dot among these beasts.

Coupled with the characteristic lightweight of flying creatures, Huihui standing on these stone giant beast’s back was entirely possible.

The beasts below showed no reaction to them, perhaps it really is possible...

"Keke, should be doable, right?"

"Hng!"

"Huihui, land now."

"Aah!"

Huihui circled once more, pinpointed the spot, and with wings folded, landed lightly on the back of a stone giant beast.

The beast remained unresponsive, moving steadily towards the World Tree.

Great!

"Huihui, wait for us here." Xu Xin dismounted Huihui with Keke, looking towards the figure riding on the giant insect below.

Xu Xin took a deep breath, grasped the petrified strands along the stone giant beast and began to climb down.

At that moment, Keke showed no fear of heights, didn’t cling to Xu Xin, but learned to climb down along the petrified strands.

The movement of the stone giant beast was stable, with little jolting, allowing the man and panda to smoothly descend a distance, then leap onto the giant insect at the right moment.

Though the insect was just a "small creature" between two beasts’ crevices, it was still large for humans, akin to the size of a car, allowing Xu Xin to easily balance.

He then walked up behind the figure sitting on the insect, reached out, and tapped his shoulder: "Chang Yin."

There was no response from Chang Yin.

Xu Xin circled around to face him.

His eyes were closed, expression calm, as if asleep.

His body seemed integrated with the insect below, even when Xu Xin pushed with all his might, he remained immovable.

"Hng..." Keke stood before Chang Yin, raised a small paw, jumped up and swatted his face.

No response.

Xu Xin rubbed his chin in thought.

What is going on...?

The stone statues, including Chang Yin, seemed like a pre-set group of automaton-like machines, running autonomously without any control.

The feeling is...

Very eerie.

Soon, these stone creatures will approach the World Tree, and although he entered the stone group to investigate, besides discovering this strange situation, he didn’t know what else to do.

"...Let’s head back. Staying outside the World Tree is wasting time."

He looked up towards the beast’s back.

The gaps between beasts were too small for Huihui to spread wings, preventing him from coming down to pick them up.

Xu Xin and Keke had no choice but to climb back up.

Fortunately, the beast’s leg nearly brushed past the insect as it moved.

With each step, the beast’s thick long legs moved forward past the insect, and then fell back as it crawled, repeatedly.

Xu Xin took one last look at Chang Yin, then grabbed Keke, seized the moment the insect crawled past the beast’s leg, and jumped to grab the petrified strands on the thick leg.

Just as they steadied their grip, the beast’s leg moved forward again.

"Whoa!"

"Hng!"

Xu Xin felt as if riding a theme park swing, like a pirate ship.

Quite exhilarating.

With the beast’s leg momentarily still, he quickly began climbing.

As he climbed, the beast’s leg moved forward several times.

Fortunately, the higher he climbed, the less impact he felt, becoming more stable.

Finally, he safely reached the beast’s side and scrambled up its back.

"Hng!"

Keke, much faster than him, was already waiting on the beast’s back.

Picked up Keke, Xu Xin mounted the waiting Huihui: "Let’s go Huihui, back home!"

"Aah—" Huihui pushed off the petrified beast’s back, launching into the air, gliding towards the World Tree.

...

"Hey hey! Is that a pterodactyl?"

Just stepping out of the Transmission Array, readying to teleport to the World Tree, Lou Fei’Er exclaimed.

Shi Wanyun and Jin Yue also turned to look.

They saw a pterodactyl flying rapidly from afar towards the World Tree.

"That’s... Huihui?" Shi Wanyun was slightly stunned, "Why is Huihui outside?"

"The winged creature from the giant egg hatch? It’s grown this large?" Jin Yue, mildly surprised.

"...Wait, there’s someone on its back, that’s... Ah!"

Suddenly, a laser-like attack shot from the jungle, streaking across the sky, hitting the pterodactyl’s wing with a flash like lightning, leaving a hole over a meter in diameter!

Blood splattered down instantly!

"Aaaaah!"

Huihui screamed tragically, spinning towards Crystal City!

Near landing, it forcibly balanced itself, slowing its spin and then...

"Boom!!"

Dust billowed up within Crystal City.

"Hey... was that Xu Xin on the pterodactyl’s back?" Lou Fei’Er murmured.

"...Yes." Shi Wanyun’s gaze slightly dazed, nodded.

Jin Yue kicked off, leaped towards the dust.

Lou Fei’Er followed suit, diving into the dust.

"Was that light... caused by that man?" Shi Wanyun glanced outside the city, eyes narrowing slightly, then chased after.
