It's not such a coincidence.
Because the figure that appeared next to the transmission device was not someone Xu Xin knew.
He is a man who looks very ordinary.
After being teleported here, he looked around and then looked up at the tree house next to him.
At this time, Xu Xin and Xu Ying stood there motionless and winked at each other.
The two men were wearing invisible cloaks, so as long as they didn't move, the newcomer wouldn't be able to find them.
The man next to Shi Wanyun's tree house suddenly stretched out his hand towards the tree house.
Immediately afterwards, the roots of Shi Wanyun's tree house seemed to have heard the owner's order. They all hung down, wrapped around the man's arms, and pulled him up into the tree house.
After the dense canopy closed, it was as if nothing had happened.
Both of them were shocked.
Xu Ying glanced at Xu Xin, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear, asking, "Are you sure this is Shi Wanyun's tree house?"
Xu Xin returned a look, indicating...
Not so sure.
He had never been here and had never actually seen Shi Wanyun's tree house.
But he knew that Shi Wanyun's tree house was near the teleportation array, and there was another teleportation device around it. And most importantly, he had heard Shi Wanyun say that the floor of her tree house was one floor higher than his own.
And this tree house perfectly meets these conditions.
...That should be it, right?
But why can this man go up there casually?
At this time, Xu Ying took out a walnut-sized device from somewhere and squeezed it gently.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xin felt dizzy.
He glanced at the little thing in Xu Ying's hand, then looked at her with a questioning look.
"Sonic interference device," Xu Ying whispered. "Once it's turned on, any sound within a two-meter radius won't be transmitted. It relies on creating reverse sound waves to interfere and counteract them, much like the noise-canceling headphones from a thousand years ago. At first, you might feel a little uncomfortable or dizzy from the sound interference."
"...So we can talk now?" Xu Xin whispered.
"Yeah, but it's better not to be too loud, otherwise people outside can still hear it."
Xu Xin nodded.
He looked at the tree house and said, "Based on my guess, this tree house is most likely Shi Wanyun's tree house."
"If that's really the case... then this is going to be a bit troublesome."
Xu Ying bit her finger, her expression a little conflicted.
"The owner of the tree house has been changed?" Xu Xin thought of what Xu Ying had just told him.
"That's a possibility," Xu Ying whispered, "but in my opinion, it shouldn't be. I did say earlier that a normal tree house can change owners, but there's a prerequisite... that the original owner must be killed. In other words, if you want to change the owner of a non-parasitic tree house, you must first kill the original owner. At least, that's how I understand it."
Xu Xin's eyes moved: "But Shi Wanyun is not dead."
He glanced down at his watch. "At least her name is still visible on the Treehouse system. I just can't contact her."
"Hmm, so the owner of this tree house has probably not been replaced."
Xu Ying's eyes were always on the relatively tall tree house.
The man in the house did not come out of the tree house for a long time.
"So what's going on with him?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
At the same time, the two of them slowly moved towards the tree house.
"Who else do you think can enter a tree house besides the owner of the tree house?" Xu Ying did not answer directly, but asked in a low voice.
"...someone who has been given authority by the master?" Xu Xin speculated.
He is familiar with this.
His tree house gave Li Wenxi the right to enter and exit at any time.
And just now, they also gave the explorer members the power to enter and exit the World Tree at will.
"This is also a possibility. Have you heard Shi Wanyun talk about who she gave permission to enter her tree house?" Xu Ying asked.
"No." Xu Xin shook his head. "She didn't say that. It probably means she didn't."
Shi Wanyun is very careful and doesn't even allow people to parasitize around her tree house, so it's unlikely that she would give anyone else access to her tree house.
"Then let's just believe her for now," Xu Ying whispered. "If we rule out these two possibilities, there's only one left. That's this person's control over this tree house, even greater than Shi Wanyun's."
Xu Xin was startled at first, then his pupils shrank. He looked at the tree house and said, "You mean, that man just now came from... the World Tree that colonized this area?"
Xu Ying had just told him that Area 1 was within the influence range of the alien invaders' colonization world tree.
Although Shi Wanyun's tree house is not a parasitic tree house, the relationship between her tree house and the nearby world tree is basically the same as that between a parasitic tree house and a main tree house.
"Yeah, that's what I mean." There was a hint of excitement in Xu Ying's low voice.
"Wait... If that's the case, then that person..." Xu Xin suddenly remembered something and frowned. "As I recall, the only person who can control the parasitic tree house and enter and exit it at will is... the owner of the main tree house, right?"
Just like, Xu Xin himself can control the parasitic tree house, but Li Wenxi, who is given the authority, cannot.
"Yeah, that's true." Xu Ying turned her head and smiled, "Brother, you are quite smart."
"That means, this man..." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
"It's very likely that he's the owner of that World Tree and the person in charge of this area."
