I'm so tired. I feel like my brain cells are exhausted and my spirit is extremely exhausted.
However, her attention was immediately drawn to what was before her, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Not only her, but everyone present was shocked.
"Is this... the core of the World Tree?" Wang Lei muttered to himself.
That’s right, what appeared before everyone’s eyes at this moment was an extremely huge spherical crystal that was half buried in the soil.
Because only half of it was exposed outside the soil, everyone could only see half of the crystal ball.
Although it was only half a crystal ball, the height of the crystal ball reached nearly twenty meters.
This is a huge crystal ball with a diameter of nearly forty meters!
Of course, the core of the World Tree itself should be extremely huge, and everyone is mentally prepared for this.
But they didn't expect that the core of this world tree did not emit a bright white light like their world tree.
The core of this world tree is actually a scarlet crystal!
This scarlet crystal emits a scarlet light, illuminating the entire hollow area of the World Tree blood red.
Xu Ying looked up.
This is indeed the hollow area of the World Tree's trunk.
The world tree here is not the world tree over there whose internal space has expanded a hundred times, so when you look up, you can see the dome of this space.
This space is about a hundred meters high, which is exactly the height of the tree trunks below the canopy.
"Ah!" Wen Guixin suddenly cried out anxiously, "Don't die!"
Everyone shifted their gaze from the huge scarlet crystal in front of them and looked at Wen Guixin, or rather, at the alien invader she controlled.
At this time, Wen Guixin had already put her hand on the "slime" again.
Even though the slime's eyes were all open now, and she pressed directly on two eyes, she didn't care at all. Instead, her face looked anxious and ugly.
"how……"
Before Wang Lei finished asking, everyone saw that the alien invader under Wen Guixin began to wither.
The originally round "slime" body began to shrink rapidly, and the speed of shrinking was unusually fast, like a punctured balloon. In just a few seconds, it turned into a piece of skin on the ground.
"I..." Wen Guixin stared at the skin blankly.
She tried stepping on it with her foot, and the skin broke into pieces like a layer of dry seaweed.
"This..." She slowly raised her head and looked at everyone, wanting to cry but unable to, and feeling a little helpless.
The alien invader she controlled finally couldn't withstand the toxins she repeatedly injected into its body and died.
"Wow... this is too extreme!" Zeng Tao squatted down and poked the dry debris on the ground with her fingers. "If you die sooner, we won't be able to get in!"
The rest of the people looked at each other again.
They were clearly waiting for it to take them to the underground space, but they died directly...?
So what should they do now?
"This...what should we do now?" Wang Lei said helplessly.
This isn't even the inside of the World Tree's crown, but just the hollow area of its trunk!
Qin Fu didn't panic. He said calmly, "Don't worry. Since this slime brought us here, there must be a passage up or down. Let's just look for it."
That’s true.
Everyone looked around.
"Anyway, let's explore the surroundings first." Xu Ying said.
That's all we can do.
"I'm sorry." Wen Guixin felt a little guilty, "If only I had a little more control..."
"Oh, what are you saying sorry for?" Wang Lei waved his hand. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get in. Let's take a quick look around."
"Too."
Xu Ying's attention was now focused on the most conspicuous thing in the hollow area of the tree trunk - the huge scarlet crystal located in the center of the entire area.
Everyone else's eyes were also focused on this huge crystal hemisphere.
"Is this the core of the World Tree?" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed, feeling a bit excited. "Why is the core of the World Tree red? Could this be the 'source of life' of the alien invaders we're looking for?"
"No way." Qin Fu looked at the scarlet crystal. "We all know that the red light emitted by the source of life is very strong, so strong that even a small piece of it can make people uncomfortable. Didn't we steal a lot of it from those factories?"
Xu Ying touched the backpack she had been carrying on this trip.
She and Xu Xin each took a portion, and now there were more than a dozen of those small pieces of scarlet crystal in her backpack.
"But the light emitted by this crystal is very soft. To be honest, it feels quite comfortable when it shines on my body." Qin Fu shrugged. "So, this can't be what we are looking for."
That's true.
No matter how you look at it, this crystal doesn't look like the target they are looking for.
"But, this is the core of the World Tree, right?" Zeng Tao asked doubtfully. "Isn't the World Tree created using the Earth's white crystal? Why is the core of this World Tree scarlet?"
"This is their base camp." Wang Lei thought this was easy to explain. "Isn't it normal for their base camp to be a little special? Maybe the World Tree has mutated genetically?"
"Are you kidding me..." Qin Fu was speechless. "This is scarlet crystal..."
"What is going on...?" Xu Ying also thought of the problem at this time.
