The alien invader walked in front, and everyone followed behind it.
It’s not actually accurate to say that it walked, because this alien invader moved by wriggling its body like a slime.
"Can we communicate with it now?" Li Wenxi asked Wen Guixin in a low voice.
"No." Wen Guixin shook her head. "Even I can't communicate with it. I can only give it orders. A creature completely infected by the mental toxin will become a complete puppet, without any independent thoughts."
"Alas...if we give it the antidote now, there's no way it can recover?" Lou Feier said, looking at the back of the alien invader.
"Of course not." Wen Guixin spread her hands. "The antidote will only work before the poison is completely eroded. Now its nervous system has been irreversibly damaged by my poison, so the antidote is naturally useless... Wait."
Wen Guixin looked at the alien invader leading the way, her brows furrowed slightly. "But it's an alien invader. Its nervous system and body structure are different from those of Earth creatures. That's why it took me so long to completely infect it. I heard that they have a much stronger recovery ability than Earth life?"
As she spoke, she took a few quick steps with some concern, walked to the side of the alien invader, and touched its squirming body with her hand again.
"this……"
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"How is it? Are you really recovered?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
Wen Guixin nodded with a slightly grave expression. "Yes, the alien invader's nervous system, which I had completely eroded a moment ago, has now recovered nearly 10%."
Wang Lei's mouth suddenly opened wide. "Already recovered 10%? How long has it been?"
They just came out of that metal room.
It's only been less than two minutes, right?
If 10% is recovered in two minutes, then full recovery only takes 0 minutes, right?
"In fact, as long as its nervous system recovers more than 0%, it will be able to regain consciousness." Wen Guixin still kept his hand on the alien invader, and the alien invader's body began to wriggle violently again.
0% or more will restore consciousness...
That is to say, if you leave this alien invader alone for about ten minutes, it will be able to regain control of its own body.
This is a terrifying recovery speed!
Everyone was silent.
How should I put it, worthy of being an alien invader...
There are probably more alien invaders inside the World Tree.
The alien invaders have no brains, but their entire bodies have relatively independent nervous systems, and they also have such powerful recovery abilities.
If you think about it this way, they don't have any weaknesses at all.
Thinking about the weapons Xu Xin and the others have in their hands...
Difficult.
It seems that we must not have a head-on conflict with the alien invaders, and it would be best if this mission were not discovered once from beginning to end.
Otherwise, they might find it difficult to completely repel even a few alien invaders, and can only use Xu Ying's ability to escape.
"Not all alien invaders possess such powerful recovery abilities, right?" Zeng Tao whispered. "This alien invader is the 'gatekeeper' of the World Tree. There are only three World Trees in this headquarters. As the entity that controls access to and from the World Trees, isn't it normal for it to be a bit stronger? I don't think other alien invaders would be this strong."
"Uh..." Xu Xin looked at her in surprise.
"What?" Zeng Tao was a little confused. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Um... I didn't expect that you could be smart sometimes." Xu Xin couldn't help but tease.
"You...you... humph, I won't argue with you at the critical moment!" Zeng Tao turned her head away angrily.
However, what Zeng Tao said does make sense.
"Let's go. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain." Xu Xin said, "But, Sister Gui Xin, you need to be more careful."
She now has to re-infect the alien invaders every ten minutes.
"It's a bit troublesome..." Wen Guixin's brows were full of distress.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin frowned and asked, "Could it be difficult to get infected multiple times?"
Generally speaking, after recovering from infection with a virus, toxin, etc., the body may produce antibodies or drug resistance.
Could it be that Wen Guixin is also...
"No, no, it's not difficult." Wen Guixin waved her hand. "Although this alien invader can recover on his own, my poison is not to be trifled with. Repeated infection like this could easily kill him by accident..."
Forehead……
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not too difficult to control.
“I just have to pay more attention.”
The purpose of this alien invader is not just to bring them into the World Tree.
They also need it to enter the underground space of the World Tree, where the "source of life" for the alien invaders, the Scarlet Crystal, is located.
"Just hold on until you get us into the underground space of the World Tree." At this time, Xu Ying said beside her, "It's okay if you die. I'm here to get you out."
That's true.
The premise is that there is no problem with her teleportation ability.
Wen Guixin interrupted the conversation of several people: "Okay, everyone, we should be here."
Everyone followed this slime-like alien invader and arrived in front of the extremely thick trunk of the World Tree.
Its body stuck to the trunk of the World Tree, and then spread out on the surface of the trunk like a fluid. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, it turned into a thin piece and stuck to the trunk of the World Tree.
