After Xu Xin and his men left, the lakeside was quiet, leaving only a piece of open space that was cracked and dry under the scorching heat and had not yet recovered.

After about ten minutes, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake.

The school of fish that had appeared in the lake again at some point began to scatter frantically on the surface of the lake, and then gathered at the edge of the lake, motionless, as if they were afraid of something.

The ripples on the lake surface became more turbulent, spreading out from the center of the lake to the surrounding areas, and then...

In the middle of the lake, at the center of the ripples, half of a huge head rose silently from the water.

The rock-like scales reflected dazzling light in the sunlight, but the huge black eyes were incomparably deep, like an abyss that could absorb all the light in the world.

The direction these dark eyes were facing was the crystal city less than a kilometer away, which was emitting a bright white light in all directions.

In the lake, all other creatures hid trembling at the edge of the lake, waiting for it to leave.

The head of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake finally emerged from the water as a whole, and its scarlet tongue trembled as it spit out from its closed mouth. Then it swung its huge body and began to swim towards the lake.

In the direction it was heading, other fish became chaotic again and scattered madly to make way for it.

But just as it was about to reach the shore, it suddenly stopped.

"hiss--"

Its huge anaconda body slowly turned around, and its dark eyes stared at the bottomless lake.

In the end, it chose not to leave the lake.

It simply turned its huge head, took another look at the Crystal City, then turned around and dived into the water. The extremely thick half of its body was exposed on the water surface and was spinning rapidly. Finally, its tail sank into the water and disappeared.

From the moment the giant anaconda emerged from the center of the lake to the moment it dived back into the lake, everything happened very peacefully; even the sound of the water splashing was very small.

This big guy seemed to lower his voice deliberately, not wanting those around him to notice his appearance and departure.

About two minutes later, the shivering fish by the lake became active again and swam back into the lake.

The lake has returned to its former calmness.

Everything was as if nothing had happened.

…

On Xu Xin's side, the transplant work went very smoothly.

Although the so-called [World Tree Siege] had already begun, during this period of time, no powerful enemies as they had imagined had attacked, and they safely planted their tree houses in this crystal city.

There are more than a hundred people in total, and more than a hundred emerald green banyan trees, which add a touch of green to the Crystal City, which is all white and a bit monotonous.

And the explorers have already chosen suitable locations for these tree houses.

Because these survivors already have their own responsibilities, they naturally cannot be allowed to plant at will.

The survivors who previously lived under the same explorer member's tree house have become more familiar with each other and are naturally willing to choose to live in the same area, and they are still responsible for their previous duties.

However, at this time, this group of people had already transplanted their own tree houses, and then most of them gathered together to discuss.

"This is so cool!"

"Brother Lei just told us that this Crystal City is the strongest line of defense and can stop the attack of the beast tide! Now we can relax a little after moving in!"

"Stop the beast tide? How?"

"I don't know. Brother Lei was too busy just now and didn't explain in detail. I didn't ask either. Anyway, I trust the boss and the others unconditionally!"

"Indeed, let's just lie down. Boss, we'll win by lying down!"

"Hey, hey, hey! I just identified the soil. The soil under our feet is all blue level!" A person suddenly poked his head out of the tree house and shouted excitedly.

“Is this true?!”

He looked back into the tree house and exclaimed again, "Fuck!"

One of them is purple grade! Purple grade soil!

These survivors who took refuge with the explorers were all immersed in great surprise.

The tree houses of their explorers were all concentrated around the World Tree.

That is, the large open space behind the palace.

They planted a tree house about a hundred meters away from the trunk of the World Tree, surrounding and protecting the World Tree that was still growing.

Xu Xin's tree house is planted behind the Crystal Palace, and the entire canopy is almost close to the palace.

He could even jump directly from the window of his tree house into the balconies on the second and third floors of the palace without having to go through the main entrance.

Lou Fei'er, Ma Hongwei and their tree houses are planted near Xu Xin's tree house.

After everyone finished dealing with their affairs, they gathered under the World Tree.

"So, our tree house is located here?" Wen Guixin said, looking at the tree houses formed in a circle around her.

"This feels good." Zhao Xiaochuan was very satisfied with the existing layout. "We can finally be considered real neighbors. And isn't it just right for us to live in the center? Let the others live around it."

"This is just a temporary arrangement." Ji Chaoyang shook his head. "The current arrangement is just to make it easier for us to protect this young World Tree that is about to be besieged."

"I think the current location is pretty good." Xu Xin was naturally referring to the location of his tree house. He looked at his tree house and said, "I don't plan to change the location. If you are not satisfied with the current location, you can change it after this matter is over."

After all, under the influence of this world tree, their tree house can be transplanted at any time!
