Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1341 - 679: World Tree’s Crimson Core

Wen Guixin and the others, who had already entered the World Tree, continued to advance inside the trunk.

"Why haven’t we arrived yet..." Wang Lei kept glancing back from time to time.

Behind them, the path they walked on continued to grow forward, at a speed roughly equal to that at which the alien invaders corrode the World Tree’s wood.

Their passage also consistently maintained a length of about five meters.

Wang Lei was always afraid that the healing speed of the World Tree would quicken and crush them to death inside.

"No need to be so scared. Even if we can’t get in, we won’t die." Xu Ying couldn’t help but roll her eyes lightly, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"That’s true..." Wang Lei scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Speaking of which..." Qin Fu, who was standing at the rear, occasionally reached out to touch the continuously growing and healing wall, "The healing speed of the World Tree is incredibly fast. Even if you attack the World Tree with nuclear weapons, we can’t perceive any damage to the World Tree with our eyes, because it heals in an instant. Isn’t that what you said?"

Qin Fu looked at Xu Ying.

"That’s correct." Xu Ying nodded, "But that was information from that timeline, which was just three hundred years after the war, and now it’s a thousand years after the war, so changes are normal."

As she spoke, she looked ahead at the "Slime" alien invader. At this time, Wen Guixin was touching this thin sheet of the alien invader that clung to the wall and corroded forward with her hand.

Fearing that the alien invader might malfunction at this critical moment, she constantly controlled her toxins to perform deep erosion on the alien invader, preventing it from regaining even a sliver of consciousness, otherwise, it could all be for naught.

"Now that the alien invaders have invented a potion that can wither the World Tree, isn’t it only normal that its self-healing ability has slowed down? What’s there to fear." Zeng Tao said with an indifferent expression.

Although she spoke so nonchalantly, she was the one closest to Xu Ying at that moment, almost clinging to her.

The constant growth behind really is frightening!

She was afraid that if the back suddenly grew out of control, she, being closest to Xu Ying, wouldn’t be left behind inside.

If she got enveloped by the wildly growing World Tree trunk...

Zeng Tao shivered slightly.

Wuwu... So scary, if I knew I should have gone with Xu Xin and the others...

"How far do we have to go..." At this time, Wen Guixin’s forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat.

Forcing her to continuously infect a target while ensuring it isn’t over-infected and dies is a bit too difficult for her.

She was now truly walking on thin ice, afraid that a single miss could kill this Slime alien invader.

"It should be soon." Zhao Xiaochuan glanced back, "From my estimation, we should now be very close to the core area of the World Tree trunk."

"The core area of the World Tree trunk?" Wen Guixin perked up, "Isn’t the World Tree essentially a giant treehouse? You all should remember, the trunk of the treehouse is hollow, right?"

"Of course, I remember." Zeng Tao quickly answered, "Not only is it hollow, but in the soil of the hollow trunk, there’s also a part of the treehouse core buried underground. When we initially dug the treehouse core, didn’t we all dig from the hollow trunk... Huh?"

Zeng Tao suddenly widened her eyes: "So if we continue forward and enter the hollow area of the World Tree trunk, won’t we just... be able to see the World Tree’s core?"

Everyone’s spirits lifted.

"We still have to get there first..." Wen Guixin gritted her teeth, "Hurry... hurry up! Go faster!"

She felt as if she was about to lose her control over the toxins injected into the alien invader’s body.

If these toxins were to erupt instantly, the alien invader could die in a flash.

Although they wouldn’t be trapped here, their plan would be completely disrupted, basically amounting to a complete failure.

She absolutely didn’t want their plan to fail because of her poor control over her own abilities!

Wen Guixin continued her erosion of the alien invader, while the alien invader’s corrosion of the World Tree trunk also continued.

But no matter how much Wen Guixin urged, its speed of forward corrosion remained just as fast, probably its fastest speed.

"Sister Gui Xin, you..." Xu Ying noticed Wen Guixin’s somewhat strained expression, her complexion changed.

But she couldn’t offer any help, all she could do was pray that Wen Guixin could hold on.

In front of them, the alien invader corroded forward, while behind, the World Tree trunk continuously grew and healed. They were like pests traveling inside the trunk, gnawing at the trunk, advancing step by step.

One meter, two meters.

Ten meters, twenty meters...

Finally, with a delayed "crack" sound, the wall where the slime-like alien invader adhered began to tilt forward.

As the wall tilted, light penetrated through the gap created by the collapse.

Crimson light.

With a "boom", the wall where the alien invader was attached tilted forward and collapsed, smashing onto the ground with a thunderous shatter!

The alien invader, initially clung thinly against the wall, instantly bounced back the moment the wall fractured, returning to its previous Slime-like form.

At the same time, all of its previously closed eyes snapped open, though its gaze was utterly vacant as every eye stared unmoving in the direction they were facing.
