Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1399 - 698: May the Gods Bless the Gods

Someone asked Ji Chaoyang and the others.

Because their bombing actions had not stopped, the blinding light and smoke caused by the missiles had completely enveloped the area, making it impossible to see anything from this side.

But these missiles could still explode in the air, indicating they hit their targets.

The giant spaceship was still there, it hadn’t fled.

"Keep attacking, don’t stop."

"Got it, boss!"

"Attack!"

"Get it, don’t let it escape!"

"Buy our gods some time!"

"You’re already dead!"

"Damn, my hand is cramping... ah!"

Suddenly, the situation changed dramatically.

Within seconds, the smoke around the giant spaceship was directly dispersed, revealing the spaceship within.

Then, a scarlet protective membrane reappeared, but this time it seemed very thin and nearly transparent.

Through this membrane, the people inside World Tree could see the giant spaceship within.

But even so, this membrane continued to perform its duty.

Like a rain of arrows, the nuclear missiles pierced the membrane but didn’t stop flying, directly striking the hull of the giant spaceship.

However, they didn’t explode; instead, they shattered upon impact, with debris falling downward.

In a short time, hundreds of nuclear missiles were intercepted in this way.

Yet, under the barrage of nuclear missiles, the spaceship wasn’t entirely unharmed. The metal hull was pitted and dented in many places, and some parts of the spaceship showed a high-temperature dark red glow due to the heat from the explosions!

At the same time, the transparent membrane was intensely trembling and flickering.

Occasionally, a nuclear missile would penetrate during a flicker, then explode again on the spaceship’s hull, with the light still visible, but the smoke driven outside the membrane.

Although this membrane was somewhat leaking, it could still protect against most missiles.

"This membrane is so thin..."

"Are they almost done for?"

"Damn, this spaceship actually remains intact after such an attack!"

"Not completely intact! We added many dents to its hull!"

"Damn it, what good are dents... damn!"

At this moment, the spaceship suddenly began to ascend!

The speed of ascent was incredibly fast, so fast that even from inside World Tree, the people could see it rapidly rising.

Due to the speed, the upper half of the spaceship showed signs of intense atmospheric friction, emitting a fiery glow like a giant meteor rushing into the sky!

"Is it heading up?" Ji Chaoyang’s expression changed slightly.

"It should be returning," Shi Wanyun said, "In space, without an atmosphere, it can travel quickly."

Now the spaceship’s speed wasn’t slow, but for a spacecraft traveling in space, it was inadequate.

Nevertheless, the atmospheric friction had already turned the spaceship into a fireball.

Therefore, for a quick return to the other half of the globe, ascending to exit the atmosphere and then accelerating was the right choice.

Inside World Tree, missiles continued to be launched frantically toward that direction, but most were blocked by the membrane, with a few sporadic explosions on the spaceship causing minor shakes and slight displacements.

Half a minute later, the spaceship shot straight into the clouds, disappearing into space.

Leaving behind a slanted smoke trail it dragged behind.

"That was too fast..." Qin Yunlong exhaled a breath, overwhelmed with shock, "Inside World Tree, less than a minute passed, right? Meaning the spaceship took less than a second to go from the ground to space? The speed..."

"With that speed, no wonder it turned into a fireball," Ma Hongwei muttered to himself, "Hmm... I’d really like to study it."

"The spaceship has returned..." Ji Chaoyang gazed at the smoke trail, squinting his eyes, "Surely heading back to their headquarters."

"... Are Xu Xin and the others in danger now..." Shi Wanyun’s eyes flashed with concern.

"We’ve done our best," Qi Xuefei sighed softly, "There’s no way we could stop this spaceship’s return."

"At least we should have consumed some of its energy," Ji Chaoyang replied with some frustration.

"Wait, Brother Chaoyang, now three out of four spaceships are destroyed, and one has fled, what does that mean for our future..."

Ji Chaoyang thought of this too and used his prophetic ability again.

"As expected," he said.

"Won’t we be breached?" Qin Yunlong asked.

"No. We will still be breached," Ji Chaoyang replied, "Nothing has changed. In my prophecy, there was no spaceship, and now with the spaceship destroyed or fleeing, this precisely matches the situation in the prophecy."

"... So even if the spaceship leaves, we still have to face strong enemies."

The group looked at the people below.

Some cheered because the spaceship had left, others were deeply worried.

"Did the spaceship return...?"

"This is bad... We can’t let it return!"

"Are we dragging down the gods..."

"Well... May the gods bless the safety of our gods..."

"Ah this, should Brother Xin bless himself?"

"Don’t worry, Brother Xin won’t have any problems, we survivors guarantee it, he’s a miracle worker!"

"That’s good... that’s good..."

"Is our battle over?"

"No."

At this time, Ji Chaoyang’s voice sounded.

"It’s not over yet, the real cruel battle is yet to come."
