Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1250 - 647: Little Monster, Zhang Yin Awakens_3

Because the blanket wasn’t long enough, little feet were exposed beneath it.

She murmured quietly, ”Good night... help me draw the curtains...”

”Hmm...” Keke, who was lying by the bedside, echoed.

Xu Xin couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Then, a wave of worry surged in his heart.

I wonder how long this peaceful life can last.

But if we want to continue this peaceful life, perhaps the only way is...

to drive the alien invaders off Earth.

...

”Xu Xin, those petrified creatures are almost reaching the edge of Crystal City.”

Ji Chaoyang sent a voice message.

”We should go out and take a look.”

Calculating the time, those petrified creatures should indeed be arriving soon.

Xu Xin said, ”I’ll find that guy; the petrified creatures are under its control.”

”Didn’t you try to find it yesterday? What did it say?” Ji Chaoyang asked.

”It said it would hand over control of the petrified creatures to us.”

”Hmm, let’s hope it keeps its word.”

...

Only Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang emerged from the world tree, along with that monster.

As soon as they stepped onto the external ground, they could already feel the tremors beneath their feet.

The group of petrified creatures had also reached the edge of Crystal City.

Those giant beasts stood lined up at the city’s edge, causing the mutant creatures still residing outside Crystal City to become restless.

However, the petrified creatures halted at the city’s edge with no intention of entering.

Simultaneously, the lake on the eastern side of Crystal City began to ripple again.

A gigantic python head slowly rose from the lake’s center, its eyes like dark abysses gazing in this direction.

Xu Xin immediately noticed this situation through his map ability, seeing a red dot light up in the lake’s center again.

”The Lake Giant Python has emerged.” Xu Xin said to Ji Chaoyang and the monster, ”But it seems it’s only watching us without intending to act.”

”Didn’t you speculate that the Lake Giant Python was here to protect us? But perhaps now it realizes it can’t take on such a large group of petrified creatures.” Ji Chaoyang said, looking toward the lake.

The python’s head had already risen high in the lake’s center, visible even from three kilometers away to the group.

”Has it grown even larger?” Xu Xin said with mild surprise.

”Not sure, but since it doesn’t intend to come over, let’s leave it aside for now.” Ji Chaoyang looked at the monster, ”It’s your turn to act.”

The monster’s mouth moved: ”I’ve already awakened Chang Yin’s consciousness. You can talk to him; he knows more about the petrified creatures than I do. Could you send me back? My experiment is still ongoing.”

Xu Xin glanced at it speechlessly.

No wonder it was reluctant when called out earlier.

”Alright, then go back for now.”

”If there are any issues, come find me.”

The monster hurriedly retreated.

It seems to be at a critical stage of its experiment.

”Okay, let’s go check it out.”

The two of them effortlessly teleported to Crystal City’s edge via the coordinates by the world tree.

Here, countless mutant creatures were already on high alert, baring their teeth at the petrified creatures outside Crystal City but not daring to charge forward.

After all, the sizes of these petrified creatures were intimidating, even the insects weren’t small.

And these mutant creatures, having lived in Crystal City for several days, had visibly grown larger.

”...Xu Xin?”

At this moment, a voice filled with confusion and doubt came from the giant beast group.

Soon after, a stone-like man emerged from behind a giant beast’s leg.

”You’re... Ji Chaoyang, right? I still remember you.”

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang let out a small sigh of relief.

It seems Chang Yin has indeed regained consciousness.

”Chang Yin, welcome to our territory.”

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang approached Chang Yin.

Chang Yin was exactly the same as when they met him in the underground world, unchanged in the slightest.

Chang Yin, meanwhile, was examining the surroundings.

”This is your territory? Why am I here... And this tree... Why is it so big?”

Chang Yin looked up at the lush canopy of the world tree, a trace of confusion in his stony eyes.

Behind him, the petrified creatures stood quietly, motionless, seeming like a collection of statues, a stark contrast to the shock created during their march.

”That’s a long story. We have many questions for you too. But this isn’t a place for lengthy discussion, come with us.” Ji Chaoyang said.
