He is a soldier in the Underworld Guard family, responsible for coordinating attacks in one of the eight directions around the World Tree.
And the direction he was heading was exactly the direction where the giant insect was heading, which means that the people who launched the missile just now were his men!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him looked at a trembling person.
“I…I…”
The man's face was pale, his body was still trembling, his teeth were chattering, and he didn't dare look at the scene outside. "I didn't mean to... I'm afraid of insects. I have a traumatic impression of insects since I was a child. I couldn't control myself when I saw an insect this big..."
It turned out that one of them was so frightened by the giant insect's gaze that his hands were shaking.
But the people around him just glanced at him and then shifted their attention to the giant insect a few kilometers away.
At this time, the flames of the explosion dissipated, and after the smoke rose into the sky, the part of the giant insect that was blown up was revealed.
The place was not completely unscathed, and there was even a large wound caused by the explosion.
Even conventional missiles cannot be resisted by flesh and blood!
However, under the shocked gazes of everyone, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Even inside the World Tree, where the external scene was slowed down a hundred times, it was still visibly fast to the naked eye!
In just three seconds, the wound was completely healed.
This is three seconds inside the World Tree!
Outside the World Tree, it only takes thirty milliseconds. With this recovery speed, if you were outside, you probably wouldn't be able to see the wound healing process. You could only see the skin that was still intact after being hit by the shells!
"This recovery speed..." Ji Chaoyang looked at the giant insect nervously.
Fortunately, the giant insect outside the World Tree did not seem angry because of this shot.
It seemed unfazed by the tickling damage the World Tree inflicted on it.
It just glanced at the World Tree and continued to drill out from underground.
The place where it emerged was actually the lake from before!
At this time, there was no water in the lake at all. Only a giant worm filled it up and was crawling out.
The sudden appearance of this giant insect was so intimidating that both sides temporarily stopped fighting.
For a moment, the bombing sounds that had lasted for at least an hour became sporadic, and both sides seemed to be observing the giant insect's every move.
The giant insect seemed to not care about the battlefield at all. It continued to wriggle its mountain-like body and crawl out of the original lake.
It is said to be wriggling, but because of its large size, its speed is very fast, almost wriggling outwards at a speed of twenty meters per second.
But even so, after a full minute, its body had not yet completely emerged.
One minute is already more than an hour inside the World Tree.
Now, because they are used to the situation outside, the people in the World Tree are no longer panicked by the scene outside.
They've even started placing bets.
"Haha, you lose! The length of this giant insect just from drilling out has already exceeded one kilometer!"
"Fuck, that's too long! Don't get too cocky. Your guess of 1,500 meters should be almost there, right?"
"According to the World Tree's calculations, it has now drilled 1,245 meters outward!"
"This length is too scary..."
"This bug is over a hundred meters in diameter. Wouldn't it be normal for it to be several kilometers long? I'm guessing two thousand meters!"
"I guess 3,000 meters!"
During the few minutes when the giant insect appeared, the alien invaders stopped attacking this side and began to wait and see.
In order not to alarm the variable that attracted the giant insect, Ji Chaoyang also issued an order to let these people stop attacking.
Their mission is to delay the army of alien invaders, the longer the better. Now that the other side has stopped attacking, they naturally will not take the initiative to provoke trouble.
A ceasefire is good, as long as you don't leave, the longer the better.
The giant insect was still wriggling outwards slowly.
"Over 1,500 meters!"
"One thousand six hundred meters!"
"One thousand eight hundred meters!"
"Two thousand meters! Breaking through two thousand meters!"
The people inside the World Tree kept exclaiming.
"Hey... why do I feel like this bug wants to surround us?" Suddenly, someone said, "Look, its body is bending towards us, right?"
Everyone looked over and saw that the giant insect's head was indeed moving towards the Crystal City.
"What are you thinking? Do you know how big Crystal City is? It's five kilometers long from north to south and east to west! If it wants to surround Crystal City, even if it sticks close to it, it would have to be nearly twenty kilometers long. How is that possible?"
"...Are you sure it's impossible?"
"...That shouldn't be the case, right? It's only two hundred meters thick. If it's twenty kilometers long, then wouldn't its length be over a hundred times its thickness?... Then, considering the overall size, it's a bit too thin..."
"'Only' two hundred meters thick? Too thin?"
"Niupi, bro, I can't compare to your vision."
"Let me just talk about the facts!"
No matter how the people inside the World Tree speculated, they could not affect the movement of the giant insect outside.
It began to move faster.
Three thousand meters...
Four thousand meters...
The people in the World Tree have become somewhat numb.
Some people have even placed a bet of twenty kilometers.
But then, things changed.
The alien invaders can no longer hold back.
