"That's indeed true..." Qin Yunlong nodded slowly.
"So, the best thing for us to do now is to wait and see." Ji Chaoyang looked at the giant ship that was slowly being towed back to the purple-black light column. "This situation is beneficial to our goal: to buy time for Xu Xin and the others."
This tentacle might really be able to help them deal with the threat of the giant ship.
The biggest reason why Ji Chaoyang had such consideration was that this giant ship did not exist in the ending he predicted.
If a giant ship of this size appeared and attacked them, Ji Chaoyang didn't think they could hold out for long.
But according to his prophecy, the World Tree could at least resist until noon the next day.
This means that the sudden appearance of this giant ship may not have played a very strong role, at least it will not pose a big threat to them now.
And the reason...
I'm afraid it's these dark tentacles.
...Who is the owner of this tentacle?
…
The other side of the earth.
After the four giant ships were teleported, Xu Xin and his companions sped up their advance.
Now they are already under the trunk of the target world tree, or even very close to it.
Only then did they truly see the core area of the alien invaders' headquarters.
The three world trees surrounded the purple-black light column, but they were not close to it.
There is about one kilometer between the three world trees and the purple-black light column.
This area looks like a very prosperous urban area.
Various strange-shaped buildings are located in this area. These buildings have one thing in common, which is that they are relatively short, so Xu Xin and his friends had not seen this area from a distance before.
However, this "core city" only looks prosperous, because Xu Xin and his companions did not find any living creatures moving around in the city. Only these strange-shaped buildings, like a group of demons dancing wildly, made up this seemingly magical small city.
"This small town should be inhabited by alien invaders, right?" Lou Feier whispered, "Where did they go? Did they follow those four giant ships?"
Very likely.
Xu Xin looked at the buildings.
The people living in this core area are probably the leader's men. If the leader goes to war, they should indeed follow him.
It was like God was helping them, now the possibility of them being discovered was even lower.
Xu Xin looked at the trunk of the World Tree, which was only a few hundred meters away from them.
The core of the source of life for the alien invaders is right under the world tree in front of them.
They should have reached above their destination, and might even be stepping on their target.
Xu Xin even wanted to dig deeper.
But this is unrealistic.
It is completely impossible to get close to the core by digging, because the underground space of the World Tree, that is, the control console area of the entire World Tree, is completely wrapped by the World Tree's most powerful roots, which are closest to the trunk.
There is only one way to enter the underground space control area of the World Tree, and that is to enter from the inside of the World Tree.
So before that, they must enter the inside of the World Tree.
And the monster gave them a way.
These three world trees are owned and inhabited by the high-ranking alien invaders. They are similar to human palaces, and a palace must have guards.
Just like the monster's father, the leader of the alien invaders, is the master of the three world trees, but it is impossible for him to trouble it for approval and release every time someone enters or leaves.
So, there are so-called "gatekeepers".
These gatekeepers have the power to enter and exit the World Tree, and also the power to bring people into the World Tree.
Each world tree has three gatekeepers, who guard the entrance and exit of the world tree at different time periods.
The gatekeepers of the World Tree are not combatants, so even if the entire army attacks, they should continue to guard the entrance and exit of the World Tree, because this is their mission and responsibility.
Therefore, as long as Xu Xin and the others find the guard, they will have found the key to the World Tree.
As for how to get the guard to help them enter the World Tree, it is even simpler.
"The gatekeeper of this World Tree should live in this house, right?" Wen Guixin pointed to a small metal hut a few hundred meters ahead. "As long as we infect it and make it under my control, we can enter their World Tree."
Wen Guixin's abilities are completely different from what she was before.
Now, she can easily infect smaller advanced mutant creatures using bullets and other media.
However, for large creatures, such as behemoths, the effectiveness of bullets coated with poison will be greatly reduced.
However, if she could make direct contact, she could still infect the behemoth in a much shorter time than before.
Therefore, for alien invaders whose physical abilities are not very strong, she is confident that she can be infected as long as she gets close to or touches them.
The invisible cloak she was wearing created this condition for her.
Moreover, she could already control her own toxins. This control not only allowed her to touch other people, but also allowed her to control the toxins that had been injected into other organisms.
Creatures that would have died quickly after being infected can now survive for a few hours under her control.
Of course, without the antidote, even under Wen Guixin's control, the infected creature would die within a few hours. However, if the antidote was used, the infected creature would be severely damaged after the toxins were removed, and would be unable to withstand a second infection in a short period of time.
