"How did you get this?!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.

This is equipment that only he can make!

"Your stuff is pretty good." The monster grinned.

It seemed to think that this expression was very friendly, but in the eyes of everyone, it would be better not to grin, because it was even more terrifying.

"Ah...!" Shi Wanyun looked at the Hidden Cloak on the ground and covered her mouth. "Could it be... mine?"

According to No. 5, Shi Wanyun's Cloak of the Hider was damaged in the World Tree and thrown away, and has never been found.

Could it be that it was picked up by the monster in front of me?

"Yes. It's amazing. It was broken, but I fixed it. Not bad," the monster said succinctly. "Well, it was teleported together. When you entered the World Tree, I followed you in."

It’s actually like this!

Could this monster have entered the World Tree relying on Xu Xin and the others' equipment?

So the reason why it lay in the corner without being discovered just now was also... because of this invisible cloak?

"This is really outrageous..." Lou Feier said to herself.

"The equipment you've created by combining our technologies is quite impressive," the monster continued grinning.

"...Let's sit down and talk." Xu Xin extended his hand and made an inviting gesture towards the sofa. "There are some things I want to ask you."

As a result, the monster did shake its head.

As it shook its head, the tightly closed eyes on its body couldn't help but open again, especially those on its neck.

It was obvious that it actually wanted to open its eyes, but perhaps it really wanted to make the people present not so disgusted by it, so it only opened the eyes on its face.

"There are too many people. I can't handle it." The monster looked at the people in front of him.

"...You want to separate us?" Xu Ying tightened her grip on the gun and frowned.

"No. I said, I have no hostility. Please put yourself in my shoes. I can't stand it anymore." The monster even closed his eyes and turned his head away, not caring that the group of people in front of him were holding guns in their hands.

Everyone looked at each other.

Xu Ying held her forehead helplessly.

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched slightly.

Ji Chaoyang had a half-smile on his face.

Could this monster be...

“Ah… I understand.”

Li Wenxi looked at the monster and suddenly felt like laughing.

"It sees us the same way we see it. Imagine being surrounded by a bunch of these strange... uh... I mean, alien creatures."

"……hiss--"

“Oh my god…”

Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan even rubbed their arms frantically, trying to get rid of the goose bumps on their arms.

Even just imagining that scene would make one's sanity level plummet!

Suddenly, everyone present understood what the monster in front of them was feeling.

Suddenly I felt that it was not easy for it to talk to them so friendly just now...

"What do you want?" Xu Ying asked.

The monster opened its eyes, raised its arms which were as long as its knees, and pointed at Xu Ying.

"you."

Then he turned his arm and pointed at Xu Xin.

"you."

Then he pointed at Shi Wanyun.

"you."

Finally, he pointed at Wen Guixin.

"you."

"Four is my limit. Four is fine. Let's sit down and discuss."

"Me?" Wen Guixin pointed at herself, somewhat puzzled. "Why me?"

Needless to say, Xu Ying would naturally participate in the discussion.

Xu Xin was the person the monster wanted to kill before. He had a deep connection with it and was also the owner of the World Tree.

Shi Wanyun had faced the monster face to face before, so she was considered an acquaintance.

But what's going on with Wen Guixin?

"Yes, you."

"It's okay, Sister Guixin." Xu Ying was not surprised, but nodded at the monster, "It's just the four of us, right? It's okay."

Xu Xin also nodded.

Shi Wanyun naturally did not refuse.

"Then we'll leave first." Ji Chaoyang stood up, "Contact us if you need us."

There are many things they need to do.

At least the survivors and the former residents of the underground world cannot be allowed to get close to this tree house.

Xu Xin gave Ji Chaoyang a slight wink, lowered his eyes and glanced at the ground.

What he meant was that the underground control console could do a lot of things.

Ji Chaoyang naturally understood, nodded slightly, and then left.

"...You have to be careful..." Li Wenxi whispered to Xu Xin and left.

Now, there are only four people chosen by the monster and the monster itself left in the tree house.

"Now, can we talk about the cooperation you mentioned?" Xu Ying said.
