Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1406 - 701: Chaotic Time-Space Currents

Xu Xin and Xu Ying found themselves face-to-face with the leader of the alien invaders.

Their hearts were in their throats.

The army of alien invaders, have they truly returned?

There were still four hours left until Ji Chaoyang’s prophesied time, leaving them caught off guard.

The plan has changed!

Xu Xin and Xu Ying carefully examined the leader of the alien invaders before them.

This creature indeed seemed far more powerful than ordinary alien invaders.

Upon appearing, it stood in place in a stupor for two seconds, then...

It let out an extremely piercing and unpleasant scream, swung its tentacles, and smashed something held on them against the scarlet crystal ground with great force.

"Crack!"

Countless metal parts shattered into pieces, strewn throughout this small room.

Some small fragments slid to the feet of Xu Xin and Xu Ying.

"——!——————!"

The large monster covered in blood veins and eyes let out even more unpleasant and intense sounds.

Dozens of tentacles sprouted from its body and started to thrash about wildly in the air.

Some tentacles were frantically pounding on the giant machinery nearby, causing the ten-meter machinery to tremble and shake.

The dust on the machinery was knocked off, making the air in this space somewhat suffocating.

This monster seemed to be venting.

"Achoo..."

Keke, nestled in Xu Xin’s arms, was originally poking out her head to look at the monster.

But as the dust fell from above, the little one tucked her head into Xu Xin’s embrace and sneezed softly.

Next to them, Xu Ying raised a hand to cover her nose and mouth, then trembled slightly.

Xu Xin also covered his mouth and nose.

The dust shaken loose by the monster was truly irritating.

It seemed like it wasn’t ordinary dust, but metallic debris produced by the machinery during its operation.

Incredibly unpleasant!

By now, the leader of the alien invaders was no longer so frenzied.

Its pitch-black body undulated and squirmed, the dozens of tentacles that had extended drooping to the ground and beginning to retract.

The outburst that occurred had caused a dust storm to fall in this room.

"Cough..."

Xu Xin and Xu Ying had already inhaled quite a bit; their throats were itching terribly.

Even with their mouths and noses covered, they couldn’t help but cough a few times.

"Cough cough..."

Xu Xin and Xu Ying couldn’t help coughing despite covering their mouths.

...The falling debris not only made their throats itch, but its scent was also... a bit disgusting.

Moreover, it was somewhat familiar.

This smell... wasn’t it the stench of those foul red mist clouds from before...

Unexpectedly, they couldn’t smell it in the concentrated scarlet crystal Red Mist, but here they could.

Xu Xin was almost certain now, this dust was by no means normal dust, but the waste residue left by the machinery after processing the scarlet crystals...

This stuff shouldn’t be inhaled too much by them.

They covered their mouths and noses even more tightly.

But...

"Cough cough cough..."

They still couldn’t stop the soft coughs.

The sound masking device Xu Ying had given to Zhao Xiaochuan, so she couldn’t mute their voices.

She could only grab Xu Xin’s arm, ready to retreat at any moment.

The cloak of the concealer couldn’t mute sound, though it could diminish the presence of sound, the opponent might not care about the sound due to its minimization, but in reality, it was heard.

Previously when Xu Xin was on another World Tree, his words were uncomfortable for those who heard, but they couldn’t pinpoint the reason, merely feeling their bodies were malfunctioning.

Now was a similar situation.

The leader of the alien invaders, its body once wide-eyed due to anger, now slightly squinting.

The coughing of Xu Xin and Xu Ying made it a bit uneasy.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to have detected anything unusual, probably thinking its discomfort arose from its outburst.

It reached out two tentacles again, which twisted and transformed into fan-shaped disks, starting to flap.

The dust drifting slowly was fanned away.

But it troubled Xu Xin and Xu Ying.

Because a portion of the dust was blown directly towards them.

"Cough... cough... this creature’s mimicry transformation really is handy... cough cough..." Xu Ying said softly with her mouth covered.

Since the coughing was so noticeable yet didn’t alert the alien leader, they figured speaking softly should be fine.

"Just by using its own body, it can mimic all sorts of tools, indeed impressive." Xu Xin nodded slightly.

While they whispered, the alien leader felt another twinge of discomfort.

It extended several vines again, which morphed into hammer shapes, lightly tapping various parts of its body.

"——————..."

It muttered something to itself.

"Oh?"

Xu Xin raised an eyebrow.

He could barely understand the alien invaders’ language.

Previously, there were too many alien invaders, creating noise, and they spoke quickly, making it hard for him to listen, so he often relied on mind-reading.

Now, when mind-reading couldn’t be used on this large creature, he focused on its words.

"...my whole body feels uncomfortable because I got so angry?"

He murmured to himself.

Knowing that Xu Xin could understand the alien invaders’ language, Xu Ying whispered, "Did this big monster say that just now?"
