Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1398 - 698: May the Gods Bless the Gods (Part 2)

He feared that these fanatical believers might act recklessly and do something unexpected.

Directly suppressing them would be too unfavorable for their current situation.

So, he slightly disclosed Xu Xin’s location to them.

Now, they can basically confirm that the alien invaders’ four giant ships have been destroyed except for one.

The only remaining one seems to have lost its attack capability and is planning to flee.

Given the alien invaders’ current downtrodden state, revealing more information to everyone doesn’t hurt.

The likelihood of the information leaking out has now greatly decreased, and he did not reveal any critical information. He didn’t reveal that Xu Xin and the others were targeting the opponent’s crimson crystal.

"Continue to increase the intensity of the attack, don’t be stingy with ammunition!"

Ji Chaoyang ordered.

This time, the missile barrage doesn’t even have a first wave or second wave.

Countless missiles, like a rain of arrows, flew like waves toward that giant ship!

"Attack! Attack!"

"For our god, attack!"

"We absolutely cannot allow these giant ships to return! Absolutely cannot!"

Those fanatical followers who originally caused chaos now were firing with full force.

The giant ship, a hundred kilometers away, suddenly suffered a tremendous blow!

Hundreds of nuclear missiles pierced the spherical protective shield surrounding the giant ship.

And the fluctuations of the shield were becoming larger!

"Did you notice that when this shield appears, the giant ship doesn’t move at all?" Qin Yunlong pondered as he observed the outside scenario.

"Yes, it almost hasn’t moved." Shi Wanyun nodded gently, "They... perhaps can’t move at all."

"Is it possible that this crimson shield..." Ma Hongwei speculated, "actually operates using the ’engine’ of this giant ship?"

"Action and defense can’t occur simultaneously..." Ji Chaoyang murmured, "Then if we keep attacking like this... Ma Hongwei, if we keep launching weapons like this, how long can we sustain?"

"Keep launching like this?" Ma Hongwei pointed to the missiles outside that were like a wave, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The consumption rate is too fast, right? Although we’ve prepared for a long time, and continued manufacturing during the ceasefire... we can’t keep up with this consumption rate."

"So how long can we last?" Ji Chaoyang continued to ask.

"Uh..." Ma Hongwei thought for a moment, "Just... one day? Maybe not even a day. I mean, a day inside the World Tree."

One day inside the World Tree, outside the World Tree...

It wouldn’t be more than an hour.

Ji Chaoyang slightly furrowed his brows.

That doesn’t buy much time.

"Look outside quickly!" Qi Xuefei exclaimed in surprise, "Has the color of that shield become a bit fainter?"

Everyone looked, and sure enough, the shield has already dimmed under the countless nuclear missile strikes, and the ripples on it were increasing.

Previously, when they attacked, each missile was like raindrops falling into the sea, unable to stir any waves.

But now, each missile seemed to cause a ripple, causing the entire shield to start fluctuating significantly!

"Since this shield activates, the giant ship cannot move, it indicates that maintaining the shield requires substantial energy, comparable to when the giant ship is in motion."

Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice.

"And this giant ship clearly already lacks sufficient energy, hence the retreat. If we keep attacking..."

"We might exhaust the energy of this giant ship!" Ma Hongwei clapped his hands in excitement, "If the giant ship is stranded here, we might even be able to study it!"

He was very interested in this giant ship.

"No, it’s not necessarily going to be stranded." Ji Chaoyang looked at the increasingly pale purple-black light beam, "It might use its last bit of power for a final desperate retaliation, or it might withstand our missile attacks to escape."

"Ah... indeed." Ma Hongwei nodded.

Continually defending until energy is exhausted is definitely the dumbest move.

Given their intelligence, it seems unlikely they would make such a move.

"Hopefully, they will attack us instead of just leaving like this." Shi Wanyun expressed her slight concern, "But... if they could attack, they should have done so already."

"Yes." Ji Chaoyang nodded slowly, "So, I think the likelihood of them directly leaving is..."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred on the giant ship’s side!

The crimson shield suddenly flickered twice and then vanished directly!

Immediately afterwards, countless nuclear missiles directly slammed into the giant ship that had been protected!

In an instant, the blinding white light continuously exploded over there!

Mushroom clouds rose, smoke spread, but was dispersed by another explosion in the next moment.

The blinding white light and smoke made it impossible for everyone inside the World Tree to see the situation clearly over there.

But this doesn’t stop everyone from celebrating wildly.

"We won! We won!"

"We broke that shield!"

"Hahaha, it exploded, so many nuclear missiles finally started exploding!"

"Blast it apart!"

"Don’t celebrate too soon, our missiles probably can’t cause too much damage to this giant ship, right?"

"Uh... yeah, we couldn’t even destroy the wreckage on the ground..."

"Should we stop for a moment and check the situation, boss?"
