Her words instantly gave the explorers a greater sense of security.
"So the World Tree is this powerful after it matures!" Wang Lei exclaimed in surprise, "Then aren't we basically invincible?"
"No wonder those guys are like crazy, coming in droves, not wanting the World Tree to mature," Wen Guixin complained. "But after the World Tree matured, it's been so long, and there's been no movement at all."
"It wasn't long." Xu Xin reminded, "Only more than three hours had passed outside."
"Ah... the flow of time is different. It's really hard to get used to it."
Qin Yunlong on the side said: "But this hundred times faster time flow really makes us much more relaxed."
The time flowed a hundred times faster, which made the explorers' hearts, which had been tense since arriving in this world, relax a lot.
Even if you spend the whole day doing nothing, only a dozen minutes have passed outside.
When you think about living here for a hundred days, which is equivalent to only one day outside, everyone's originally very tight pace of life will naturally slow down.
There's still plenty of time, why rush?
This is the most normal thought in their minds now.
But... there is still a thorn that has been stuck in their hearts, making it impossible for them to truly relax.
"How do you plan to solve the problems in the underground world here?" Ji Chaoyang asked Xu Ying.
"Hmm? You mean the technology and people of the underground world? I can leave now, but I still suggest you develop this place first..."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Ji Chaoyang turned his eyes to Xu Xin, "You didn't tell her?"
"Ah... not yet." Xu Xin said a little embarrassedly, "In order not to waste time outside, I brought them in as soon as they came back. I didn't have time to tell them yet."
"What? What are you talking about?" Xu Ying looked at them blankly, then said to Li Wenxi, "Sister-in-law, do you know?"
Li Wenxi also shook her head in confusion: "What can I know..."
Li Wenxi knew basically nothing about either Xu Xin's or Xu Ying's information.
She had been digesting this information since a while ago, and her mind was so confused that she couldn't sort it out.
Seeing Xu Ying looking at her inquiringly, Xu Xin pointed to the ground and said, "Directly beneath the World Tree, there's an underground ocean world area with a radius of two to three kilometers. This area is also affected by the flow of time within the World Tree."
"...will the underground world also be affected?"
Xu Ying was slightly stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... The World Tree is indeed connected to the underground world, so it makes sense that it can affect the flow of time underground."
Then, her eyes lit up slightly: "This is actually good news for us."
"Although time flows a hundred times faster inside the World Tree, there are basically only soil and water resources. Other resources are extremely scarce. If we go outside to collect resources, the efficiency will be very low. But if it is the area of the underground world..."
The more she spoke, the more her smile grew, her eyes curved into crescents. "It's simply perfect! The underground world is richer in all kinds of exotic and rare resources than the surface world. There are even crystal mines that can be mined!
With the hundredfold speed of time flowing and my sister-in-law's abilities, we can collect as much as we want!"
That's a good point.
Xu Xin had considered this before, but...
"There are other things down there!" Zhao Xiaochuan said, "There are terrifying monsters everywhere. They can't be easily exploited, right?"
"You probably don't know what's happening underground here, right?" Xu Xin also asked.
"Of course I understand the situation in the underground world. The situation underground in your entire survivor area is similar, right?"
Xu Ying glanced at the ground. "I've seen giant beasts, insects, and plants everywhere before. They're all caused by those alien invaders. But don't worry!"
She raised her head and looked at everyone. "Since the flow of time in the underground world has also been changed, that area can be considered the inner space of the World Tree. And in this space..."
She walked over to Xu Xin, hugged his arm with a smile, looked at the others and said, "My brother and I are invincible! Don't forget, we are the owners of the World Tree, this is our territory!"
...Yes!
Xu Xin's slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Almost forgot this.
The area of the underground world is affected by the World Tree, so he is equivalent to the landlord there!
The explorers also reacted and looked at the brother and sister in surprise for a moment.
"But...our underground world is not that simple."
Xu Xin told Xu Ying everything about the vine bundles, the petrified creatures, the huge prison, the extremely huge soft beast under the prison, and the blood-veined python.
Xu Ying had no interest in petrified creatures and even looked down upon them.
She felt that those things would have no effect on the World Tree.
But when she heard the word "soft beast", her expression changed slightly.
"Are you sure that an extremely huge, soft-bodied beast is trapped underneath?" Xu Ying asked again with emphasis.
"Of course we did. We were all terrified at the time!" Wang Lei added, "As soon as you stepped in, you'd sink right in. The moment you realized it was alive, it was downright terrifying!"
