The entire corridor is extremely luxurious and extravagant, with golden ornaments and various precious gems everywhere.
"Are these gold ornaments...a mechanism?" He narrowed his eyes.
"I guessed."
Xu Ying spread her hands and then pointed to a piece of gold jewelry.
"When you look at this gold ornament, can you see some faint shadows inside the scarlet crystal?"
Xu Xin looked carefully.
Although these scarlet crystals emit a soft light, they are not transparent and are even extremely chaotic. It is basically impossible to see anything through the scarlet crystals.
But if you look closely, you can indeed see a hazy shadow behind every wall decoration, such as the decorative chandelier.
"I feel like that must be the mechanism."
Xu Ying looked down at the gorgeous skirting board again.
"I was just observing this. I feel like if it weren't for our cloaks, we'd be shot to pieces the moment the door closed, or burned to death, or... In short, there might be all kinds of different traps here."
A lot of different mechanisms...
Xu Xin looked around and nodded, "That should be it."
"Even we can open the door here, and there's no way this alien invader leader would allow such a large area of scarlet crystal to be within reach, even though this world tree might be filled with its 'concubines'."
This scarlet corridor must be very attractive to alien invaders.
Anyone can get in, what will happen?
And it’s not just the idle “concubines” who can enter here.
The two of them had followed an alien invader... probably a military general, and entered here using its vine ball elevator.
After coming up, the military general continued to summon some alien invaders to go down.
That group of alien invaders should be responsible for maintaining public security within this world tree.
Probably equivalent to... palace guards?
Those alien invaders basically only moved around the small area where they came up by elevator.
As the two of them moved slightly away from the elevator entrance, they only encountered these leisurely nobles who knew nothing.
But those "palace guards" who can carry weapons may still come here.
Therefore, it is possible that those "palace guards" broke in here out of greed.
There's no way this place is defenseless.
Therefore, these seemingly magnificent decorations may actually be life-threatening mechanisms.
This corridor built with scarlet crystal may be a trap for alien invaders.
"It's just a guess. However, if my sister-in-law were here, she should be able to tell if there are any mechanisms in the wall." Xu Ying said, "I should bring my sister-in-law up. How about I go back and bring her over to see it now?"
"Forget it." Xu Xin stopped Xu Ying, "It's too dangerous here. Don't let her come up."
Wen Xi has no ability to protect herself, so it’s safer down there.
The thick foggy situation below also required her ability to observe.
After all, destroying the concentrated scarlet crystal below is the purpose of their trip.
And he and Xu Ying are actually just the right match.
Even if he encounters danger, Xu Ying can catch him and teleport him directly.
But the three people may get separated from each other, and Xu Ying has to grab two people to teleport, which may cause accidents.
"But there are scarlet crystals here too." Xu Ying pointed above her head and then pointed down at her feet. "We have to destroy the scarlet crystals here too, right?"
"...Let's see the situation first. If we're not in danger, then bring Wen Xi to see it."
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
How can I destroy this place?
"Brother, you really care about your sister-in-law!" Xu Ying teased.
Xu Xin glanced at her and said, "Alright, let's go. There might be something you want up ahead."
"Oh, yes, this is the treasure house of the leader of the alien invaders!"
The two of them quickened their pace slightly.
But they didn't dare to move too fast, otherwise they would be locked by the possible mechanisms in the corridor, and they would be doomed.
The two finally walked through the magnificent corridor and reached the corner at the end.
After turning the corner, they saw another big door.
Basically the same as the entrance.
But this gate looks much newer and cleaner than the one at the entrance.
The lines in the door were not covered with dust or creepers.
The metal gate reflected a cold red light under the illumination of the surrounding scarlet crystals.
The red glow in those lines is even more powerful.
"These patterns seem to be emitting light on their own, right?" Xu Ying took a closer look, then covered it with her hand. "Sure enough, the patterns on this door are also emitting light on their own. And..."
The two looked at the crack in the door.
The door was actually open.
It was only opened a little bit, and only one side of the double door was somewhat movable.
It was slightly ajar, revealing a gap.
There are no buttons on both sides of the door like before.
This door...does it have to be pushed open with force?
"Let's see what's inside first!"
Xu Ying walked towards the door and was about to get close to the crack to look inside.
“Bing!”
At this time, Coco, who had been nestling in Xu Xin's arms with only two furry ears exposed because she didn't want to be exposed to the red light, suddenly poked out half of her head and called out anxiously to Xu Ying.
"Yingying, come back!"
Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
Coco found danger again!
"Huh?" Although Xu Ying was puzzled, she immediately froze in place and looked back at Xu Xin and the little guy in his arms. "What's wrong? What did this little guy discover?"
