Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1210 - 634: It Looks Like It’s Smiling (2)

Xu Ying’s face looked troubled: "That half-human, half-monster guy. The same one Wanyun saw!"

Shi Wanyun shuddered slightly, her fists clenching a little.

By the World Tree’s time, several months have passed, but she still has a strong psychological shadow of that monster.

Whenever she thinks of that monster, she feels no motivation to resist.

"...It might not be that monster," Xu Xin spoke up, "Is there a possibility that the other side, like you all, has more than one person who crossed back?"

"That’s even scarier!" Li Wenxi lightly punched Xu Xin.

"It doesn’t matter how many came to this timeline..." Ji Chaoyang spoke, "Ultimately, the person who attacked Xu Xin is likely an alien invader."

"And... it’s the half-human, half-ghost monster! The most unpredictable thing!" Xu Ying gritted her teeth.

If the one who attacked Xu Xin was indeed it, then this matter has gotten seriously problematic.

Even Xu Ying hesitated to leave the World Tree.

If known, in that timeline, that monster also cast a huge shadow over Xu Ying!

"Um..." Wang Lei raised his hand, "Is there a possibility that the attacker was just a human with space-time abilities like Yingying? I mean... could they also have sent humans back?"

"It’s basically impossible," Xu Ying shook her head, "To alien invaders, we’re disgusting cockroaches; who would bring a few disgusting ’cockroaches’ during an apocalypse time travel..."

The group remained silent for a long time.

Zhao Xiaochuan weakly spoke: "All your guesses seem to be based on the condition... ’The red dot on Brother Xin’s map suddenly disappeared due to the enemy’s teleportation,’ right? Are we overthinking this? Maybe they’ve already found a way to teleport within the enemy World Tree’s range?"

"Not likely," Xu Ying said softly, "If true, why did those petrified creatures walk from fifty kilometers away? Wouldn’t direct teleportation be better?"

"Ah..."

"So..." Xu Xin held Li Wenxi’s arm, which she was clutching anxiously, "Yingying, are you saying the one who attacked me is that half-human, half-monster guy?"

"...I’m not certain, but..." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin with concern, "The possibility is very high. Even if it’s not him, it’s other alien invaders. We’ve really been targeted by alien invaders..."

Though this speculation hasn’t been confirmed, it’s enough to generate strong feelings of crisis.

An... alien invader from another timeline, possessing space-time abilities!

It feels like an ultimate boss...

"I have another question. On my map, the brightness of the red dot belonging to the one who attacked me is not as bright as the Lake Giant Python. Does this mean its strength isn’t as unreachable as we imagined?" Xu Xin asked.

"...I don’t know what your brightness refers to. If it’s just physical strength, intermediate mutant creatures’ physical power is far stronger than most survivors living here, but considering these weapons..."

Xu Ying took out a small handgun: "At least in one-on-one situations, taking down the opponent isn’t out of the question."

Xu Xin was silent.

That’s right, advanced intelligent beings rely on brains, tools, technology rather than physical ability.

Moreover, although the brightness isn’t as much as the Lake Giant Python, it’s brighter than the previous Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is already an absurd strength.

"Then... if it really is like this, how do we deal with this half-human, half-monster guy?" Zeng Tao, seeing no one speaking, couldn’t help but ask, "Is there no way to handle such a strong creature?"

"A way to deal with..." Xu Ying murmured, "I don’t know either, if it’s really that guy, I don’t even know why it’s here, its behavior and temper can’t be predicted."

Silence enveloped the group again.

Facing a potential real alien invader for the first time, they were somewhat at a loss.

Then Ji Chaoyang spoke to Xu Ying: "Judging by your tone, you know the monster quite well, right? Could you give us a detailed introduction?"

"Okay."

Xu Ying decided to tell the group everything she knew.

"You all should already know the monster is from our timeline... the offspring of the ruling alien invaders, essentially... like a crown prince. Moreover, the monster is birthed from alien invaders and humans."

The group nodded.

She had discussed these things with Xu Xin before, and naturally, Xu Xin had shared this information with everyone.

"Though no one knows how it manages to blend genes from two vastly different species and be born, it indeed was born." Xu Ying’s eyes became a bit unfocused before she sighed and shook her head.

"To humans, alien invaders are disgusting Cthulhu-like monsters, and to the monster, humans are fearful and repulsive like cockroaches. Its existence is truly pitiable."

"It’s even not accepted by alien invaders, whose prevailing view sees it as a disgusting monster, a hybrid. But being the offspring of the alien invaders’ ruler allows it to survive among them."
