Chapter 1482 724: Returning to the Old Lair - Ruined Walls and Broken Foundations (Part 3)
Xu Xin rubbed his chin.
"Alright then."
He then rotated his bracelet and released Zeng Tao and Lou Fei'Er.
Instantly, shadows enveloped the group.
"Holy crap!" Zhao Xiaochuan cursed aloud, dumbfounded.
Zeng Tao emerged carrying an enormous cannon, four or five times larger than her body.
As soon as she appeared, the oppressive feeling from the cannon made it hard for the nearby people to breathe.
"Where are the enemies, I'll hit wherever they are!"
She nervously carried the cannon, looking around.
"No enemies, don't get too excited." Lou Fei'Er rapped her on the head.
"Oh, no enemy... Don't hit my head!"
"Alright, you two."
Xu Xin stopped the two.
"It's very dangerous here, so be careful! We don't have the ability to teleport away at any moment now!"
"Oh..."
"Sorry..."
Both Lou Fei'Er and Zeng Tao lowered their heads.
But Zeng Tao still had the giant cannon slung over her shoulder.
As she lowered her head, the cannon tilted and almost hit Xu Xin on the head.
"Be careful!"
"Oh, oh, oh..."
The reason Xu Xin released the two was simple.
He wanted Zeng Tao to throw a large stone over.
Whether or not it was a landmine, the moment the stone was thrown over, they should be able to confirm it.
"How far can you throw this stone?"
Xu Xin looked at Zeng Tao, who was easily tossing stones several times larger than her head, and asked.
"Not sure, but over a hundred meters shouldn't be a problem?" Zeng Tao said, tilting her small head.
"Over a hundred meters... then throw it."
"Over there." Li Wenxi pointed for Zeng Tao, "That broken wall over there, the 'landmines' below are very dense, just throw it over."
"Got it!"
Zeng Tao, like a shot put athlete, spun her small arms twice, and the large stone in her hand flew off with a "whoosh"!
Not just over a hundred meters.
The large stone directly flew nearly two hundred meters!
"Ah, it overshot!"
"It's okay, there are plenty over there too..."
"Boom!!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
The large stone landed, instantly triggering an explosion!
The entire sandy area was like the surface of water into which a large stone was dropped, immediately sending waves of sand skyward!
The range wasn't large, only within a few meters, but the height of the explosion was really high. Sand and stones were thrown twenty to thirty meters into the air!
Then, because that area was dense with "landmines," other "landmines" were triggered one by one!
Suddenly, a vast amount of yellow sand erupted.
Like a raging sandstorm!
The surroundings instantly became chaotic and the billowing sandstorm obscured their vision.
However, the sandstorm only lasted for a dozen seconds before calming down.
Leaving only the group, armed and tense, watching their surroundings.
The explosion was so intense, it would likely attract the attention of alien invaders!
But, the fact proved they were overthinking.
The group cautiously waited on the spot for a long while, but nothing else happened.
The stirred-up dust began slowly falling in this windless environment.
The surroundings regained their original tranquility and barrenness.
"This... really was a landmine!"
Zeng Tao couldn't believe that the stone she just threw directly set off a chain explosion!
"Fortunately... fortunately, we had Wenxi come out to take a look." Xu Xin's heart was also filled with relief.
If she hadn't come out to observe, and they had ridden the Silver King over it...
The consequences would have been unimaginable!
The horizontal range of the "landmine" explosions wasn't large, but the vertical power was exceptionally high!
It was like a cannonball was fired directly upward from the ground, creating a very high sand fountain!
Though it didn't seem highly destructive, the power shouldn't be underestimated.
If they stepped on it, they would likely die!
"Heh, my ability isn't too bad!" Li Wenxi smirked with pride, and then worriedly said, "So next... we need to avoid these landmines, right?"
"It seems that's the only option."
"...Well, the mines ahead are very dense, we need to be careful."
Xu Xin patted the Silver King's large head, then returned it to the bracelet.
The Silver King's size was too large, and prone to problems.
Next, they'll rely on their legs.
Or fly across with Huihui...?
Forget it, if Zhao Xiaochuan can make Huihui lose its presence as well, it might work, but he already said the Silver King was his limit.
Riding Huihui across would be like being a sitting duck in the air.
"Hey, look!"
Xu Ying pointed towards the third world tree in the distance: "That world tree has grown a lot!"
The group looked over.
Initially, when they saw the world tree, it felt like a small sapling.
Its height was only about one-tenth that of the other two world trees.
But now, it even surpassed half of the other two world trees!
The growth was truly rapid.
But it makes sense.
After their world tree was destroyed by the war machine, Xu Xin and Xu Ying went back to investigate just an hour later.
By that time, the world tree had fully grown.
Meaning, their world tree fully recovered within one hour.
"Looking at it this way, this world tree's recovery speed is actually similar to ours?"
Xu Ying looked over and murmur.
"That means, this world tree only wilted recently, perhaps within the hour!"
Xu Ying's conclusion shocked everyone else.
If true, it indicates the chaos here is still at its fever pitch.
So far, no alien invader has been encountered, but near the world tree must be anything but calm.
"Then let's be careful as we proceed." Xu Xin said.
"I'll take the lead!"
Lou Fei'Er took the first step, then looked back pathetically at Li Wenxi: "Wenxi, you have to keep me safe!"
"You... alright." Li Wenxi nodded.
Lou Fei'Er was indeed the best choice for vanguard.
Her Blood Pattern Bloodline was suppressed, but her abilities remained.
Meaning, even when near death, she has a chance for quick recovery and resurrection, her ability was always present.
If not for this power, she would've been dead when meeting Xu Xin for the first time.
Simultaneously, she took Qi Xuefei's pills, which could be taken in advance to automatically heal upon injury.
Moreover, her reaction time and speed were the strongest.
With these three advantages, she was indeed best suited for scouting. This was why Xu Xin brought her along.
"Let's go."
Lou Fei'Er walked in front, with Li Wenxi and the others trailing five meters behind.
Li Wenxi occasionally directed her movements.
Their progress was slow.
"That world tree is now fully grown..."
Xu Ying looked ahead at the world tree.
The third world tree had matured completely.
Just about half an hour had passed since they first saw that small sapling.
The growth speed can't be called anything but swift.
After all, the roots were already mature, and with mature roots supplying growth, the speed was naturally much quicker than initial growth.
"Move forty-five degrees to the right and forward."
Li Wenxi continued to direct.
Lou Fei'Er immediately turned forward, but after taking two steps, she stopped.
"Eh?"
She looked up towards the world tree, making a soft sound.
"What's wrong?"
The rest of the group looked over as well.
Lou Fei'Er rubbed her eyes and looked again: "Look, isn't that world tree... not as green as before? Aren't the leaves on its crown turning yellow?"
Under the group's gaze, another towering world tree...
Was visibly yellowing at a rapid pace!
"Hey, hey, that world tree... isn't it!"
Xu Ying widened her eyes, pointing over, and said.
"Isn't it the main tree hiding condensed crimson crystals!"
This most important world tree, is it about to wilt?!
What are the alien invaders' rebels up to?
Do they plan on tearing down all three world trees and rebuilding?
