Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1293 - 662: Furious Bombardment and Counterattack - The Giant_3

"I also feel it is too small." Qin Yunlong said, "The explosion’s power seems to be less than a grenade, it might have been destroyed before the explosion?"

"...Did you notice that when those missiles exploded, it seemed like some liquid splashed out, and some got evaporated." Ji Chaoyang suddenly remarked while observing outside.

"Huh? Didn’t see it." Qin Yunlong shook his head, "A kilometer away, couldn’t see clearly."

"I saw it too. I thought it was coolant from inside, or some other kind of liquid." Qi Xuefei added.

"No... it might be..."

Ji Chaoyang pondered for two seconds, resting his chin in his hand: "It might be... the toxin capable of withering the World Tree!"

Indeed.

The liquid just now... was green.

Just like the toxin Shi Wanyun obtained, it was green.

Moreover, this time the liquid’s color seemed even deeper, confirming what the monster said, "It needs to be concentrated to affect the World Tree."

"If that’s truly the case, then... we must rely entirely on our protection systems." Qi Xuefei’s expression had turned somewhat serious.

No missile can be allowed to hit the World Tree!

Otherwise, with this missile’s impact, the World Tree may begin to wither!

Fortunately, as of now, their laser protection system is still very strong.

At least, dozens of missiles fired at them simultaneously were easily intercepted by the system, even reaching saturation where a single missile was countered by numerous lasers.

Meaning, even if the enemy’s missile density increased tenfold, it wouldn’t be an issue.

"It’s fine, it’s fine." Qin Yunlong muttered, comforting himself, "Our protection system is strong. Our offensive capability is also strong, attack is the best defense!"

"...Hold on! We must buy time for Xu Xin and the others!" Ji Chaoyang said solemnly.

"I wonder how things are on their side..."

At this moment, from the edge of the mushroom cloud, several aircraft emerged.

Under their watch, more missiles shot out from below the aircraft, hurtling towards the World Tree!

The battle continued.

This continuation lasted for a long time.

...

Since Xu Xin left, an hour had passed.

While in the World Tree, four days had gone by.

In these four days, none of the explorers had closed their eyes.

Of course, thanks to the effects of high-level fruits, they didn’t feel tired but remained on high alert, constantly monitoring the situation outside the World Tree.

Outside the World Tree now, within a ten-kilometer radius, devastation and desolation prevailed.

Riddled with pits and devoid of life, it resembled the apocalypse.

Numerous aircraft now surrounded the World Tree, but they maintained a distance of roughly ten kilometers.

After all, the firepower of the World Tree is indeed fierce, and they dare not approach easily.

In the prior battles, they lost a significant number of aircraft.

Their mutant creature army also suffered substantial losses.

"Why do they seem easier to handle than expected."

"Right, it’s been over an hour outside, huh?"

"I thought they were much stronger."

"Haha, it’s not that they’re weak; it’s that we’re too strong!"

"Why are you optimistic! They’re about to breach the ten-kilometer range!"

"Exactly, within a ten-kilometer range, we can’t use nuclear bombs recklessly! Otherwise, we’d be affected too!"

"What’s to fear, the World Tree is so strong, it will protect us!"

"But..."

"Wait a minute... holy crap! What is that?!"

"Huh? Eh? Oh?"

"Oh my god! What is that thing?!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Ji Chaoyang and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

"What... what is that thing?" Qi Xuefei murmured.

At a lake location two to three kilometers from the World Tree, a white mountain of flesh slowly rose!

The mountain grew taller and taller, ten meters... twenty meters... thirty meters...

Ji Chaoyang’s expression shifted: "Wait a minute... could this be..."

His pupils contracted.

The missing Insect Mother from the underground world?!
