Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1410 - 702: Good News and Bad News (Part 2)

"Originally, they were kept because if any enemies came to investigate, it would be easy to deceive them. Now that two are dead, why keep this last one?"

Wen Guixin looked at the swaying, wriggling alien invader being cut apart.

"That makes sense."

She nodded.

"Most of the main passages have been dug out now. The rest is more delicate work, and this creature can’t do much in its current state."

She convinced herself and then kicked the alien invader hard.

The alien invader hit the wall it was cutting with a "smack" and then shriveled completely within two seconds.

Wen Guixin picked up the cutting tool from the ground and walked out: "I’m going to find Wang Lei to start working. I need to keep an eye on the surroundings."

She crawled out of the secret tunnel, came to the crimson crystal outside, and called Wang Lei in.

"Wow, have you dug this much already in here?"

Wang Lei’s exclamation echoed from inside the tunnel.

"Of course, you should see who’s in charge here." Zhao Xiaochuan’s slightly tired voice carried a hint of pride.

Wen Guixin walked to Li Wenxi’s side.

"Wenxi, still no changes?"

She asked Li Wenxi, who was sitting outside in a daze, hugging her knees.

"Ah... no."

Li Wenxi shook her head.

She looked up at the entrance: "There’s been no metal reactions at all. I suppose they think that with the current underground environment here, no living thing can enter, so they’re quite relaxed."

"Let’s also give some credit to that creature," Wen Guixin smiled, "If it hadn’t lured those small machines away from here, we wouldn’t be this comfortable now."

She naturally referred to that creature.

"Who knows what it’s up to now."

"Who knows, but it can teleport at will. Although the distance is not far, it’s enough to evade, and it’s certainly not going to die."

Wen Guixin had some confidence in that creature.

"Shouldn’t we be more worried about Xu Xin and Yingying now?" Wen Guixin said.

"Yeah." Li Wenxi pursed her lips, "Where did those two go? It’s been almost two hours, hasn’t it?"

Hope nothing happened...

No, no, no...

It shouldn’t be...

With Yingying, they could escape even if they encounter danger.

Sigh, if she had known this place was so safe, she should have gone with them back then.

Sitting here all this time is really torturous...

"Sigh, those two are really reckless, running around at a time like this. It’s simply... especially Xu Xin!"

Just thinking about it made Wen Guixin angry.

"This is already the second time that guy has left the team! I was already quite unhappy the first time!"

"Uh..." Li Wenxi smiled awkwardly.

The first time was when Xu Xin refused to enter this World Tree with them and insisted on going to another World Tree.

Li Wenxi also went with him that time.

"You can’t say that. We found quite a lot of good things in that World Tree..." Li Wenxi murmured softly in defense.

Especially the protective membranes they were wrapped in now.

If they hadn’t acquired so many layers of protective membranes from that World Tree, they wouldn’t have been able to stay here so long.

"But just running around on a whim isn’t right!"

Wen Guixin gritted her teeth in anger.

"Even if something comes up, we should discuss it in advance! Fortunately, our plan went smoothly."

"No, it’s not going so smoothly now."

Just then, Xu Xin’s voice came from the Red Mist.

"Ah!" Li Wenxi immediately stood up, "You’re back!"

Xu Xin and Xu Ying walked out from the Red Mist.

Li Wenxi immediately grabbed Xu Xin’s hand, a bit worried: "Are you hurt?"

"Don’t worry. I’m fine." Xu Xin squeezed her hand.

"It’s good you finally returned." Wen Guixin rolled her eyes, "Two hours, not a word from you."

"Where is everyone?" Xu Ying looked around.

"Cutting the crimson crystal. Those three alien invaders are dead."

Li Wenxi explained.

"Those three are dead? What happened?"

Xu Xin’s eyes narrowed.

"Did you encounter danger? You... are you okay?"

"We’re fine." Li Wenxi waved her hand and gave a brief explanation.

"I see." Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s gather everyone for a moment; there’s something important to discuss." Xu Ying said, "Just five minutes."

"Something important?" Wen Guixin’s heart sank, "What did you find?"

Li Wenxi immediately went to call everyone together.

"Brother Xin, come look at our results, we’re about to succeed!" Zhao Xiaochuan shouted from within the Red Mist before he even walked over.

"You’re back. What did you discover?" Lou Fei’Er immediately came over, curious.

She was still holding a cutting tool.

Jin Yue, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, Wang Lei, and others came over too.

"I have good news and bad news," Xu Xin said.

"Ah? Let’s hear the bad news first!" Zeng Tao quickly said.

"The bad news is that we encountered the leader of the alien invaders, and their fleet is already on its way back." Xu Xin said in a deep voice.

"Don’t split up to cut for now," Xu Ying also reminded, "The situation is dangerous. We’re almost certain they’re going to come down and investigate."
