Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1308 - 667: Might of the Giant Insect, The Real Danger (Part 3)

So it told Xu Xin and the others not to let it out if they hadn’t reached their destination.

If they reached the place, they could let it out, and it could help attract some firepower.

”What’s going on? Did you receive some news?” Wen Guixin asked with some surprise, ”What’s with that expression?”

The group had now left the underground world and entered the canopy of the World Tree.

The World Tree here was completely different from the one they knew; this World Tree was just a very normal World Tree, and its internal space was much smaller than theirs.

And now they were in a room within this World Tree.

”The alien invaders... have dispatched another portion of their army.” Old Yang said with great surprise, ”They actually sent reinforcements. According to my intel, after dispatching this army, the military strength stationed at the alien invaders’ headquarters is probably less than one-tenth of usual.”

Less than one-tenth?

Suddenly, Xu Xin and the others also showed expressions of surprise and confusion.

”My god, what did Brother Chaoyang and the others do?” Wang Lei exclaimed, ”It’s only been a little over two hours, right? Did they hit them so hard that they had to massively reinforce? Could they have wiped out all the troops sent earlier?”

”But isn’t this directly beneficial to us!” Zhao Xiaochuan clapped his hands, a look of excitement on his face, ”Their headquarters’ military strength is empty; isn’t this our chance? We can deal with them more easily!”

”Don’t be too optimistic.” Xu Xin reminded, ”Even if it’s less than one-tenth of the army, it’s still impossible for us to defeat it with just a few of us. Our mission is to infiltrate, though it certainly makes things easier for us.”

”But Ji Chaoyang and the others...” Li Wenxi furrowed her brows slightly, ”Why are they... I’m worried they won’t hold out for long...”

”It shouldn’t be that bad; our preparations are very thorough.” Wen Guixin said, ”Even if things go south, we have an escape route.”

The escape route was Shi Wanyun’s World Tree.

”In any case, our task is to quickly fulfill our mission; the faster we are, the safer they’ll be.” Xu Xin looked at Old Huang: ”When did their second wave of troops deploy?”

”Just now.” Old Yang said, ”The order was issued half an hour ago, they just finished assembling, and are ready to... hmm, they’ve already set out. Your companions are likely in real trouble now.”

Xu Xin pressed his lips together. He really wanted to get in touch with the other side, but unfortunately, they had no means of transmitting messages back from the other side of the Earth.

Communication across half a planet requires satellites, but now Earth’s satellites are all alien invaders’ equipment, and they have no way to use them.

”How about if...” Xu Ying, who had been somewhat silent, suddenly spoke, ”I go back to see? I can teleport back directly. I have already been here, so I can teleport back easily.”

”No.” Xu Xin immediately stopped her, ”It’s very likely to be in the midst of battle over there, and the inside of that World Tree is isolated from the outside, unable to teleport directly inside, you can only teleport to Crystal City, it’s too dangerous.”

”Yeah, better not go back.” Li Wenxi also said, ”No matter what’s happening there, we must complete our task as quickly as possible!”

Xu Ying gently nodded, ”You’re right, so...”

She took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and looked at everyone, ”We should set out too, next, let’s stick to the plan! What follows next will be the truly dangerous action!”
