In the red fog, the explorers' plan slowly unfolded.
After the three alien invaders were controlled, Xu Xin handed the three cutters in his hand to them, and under Wen Guixin's control, they began to cut at four different locations on the scarlet crystal.
"Hey, they're cutting so slowly!" Because of the pervasive red mist, Zeng Tao had to get close to one of the alien invaders to see its movements clearly. She stared at it for a few seconds, then turned to Wen Guixin and said, "They're cutting another tiny bit of scarlet crystal!"
"Ah? Let me see."
Wen Guixin had just directed the last alien invader to a certain location, then walked over to observe. "It's true. You guys, cut faster, as fast as you can, and cut the biggest pieces you can!"
The bodies of the three alien invaders obviously paused for a moment, then the cutting action stopped, and then the eyes all over their bodies began to blink continuously.
The alien invaders cannot understand human language, but Wen Guixin did not use language to command them. The words just now were just said casually.
But it seemed that he was somewhat resisting Wen Guixin's orders.
"Hmm?" Wen Guixin frowned, "Hurry up!"
The alien invaders' bodies trembled, their eyes blinked wildly twice, and then they immediately began to cut according to the method Wen Guixin had just said.
The cutter's laser pierced the scarlet crystal and made a wide circle around it.
"Not bad." Wen Guixin nodded with satisfaction.
"Wow, it seems these alien invaders are very resistant to cutting into large pieces." Qin Fu observed, "Then our previous guess about why they cut the crystal into small pieces may be correct."
"Anyway, if this is the case, there should be no problem." Wen Guixin looked around and took a few steps deeper into the red fog. "Those artillery positions are gone now. This place has become much safer. Where are Xu Xin and the others?"
"Here." Xu Xin's voice came from the depths of the red fog.
Xu Xin had actually been observing one of the alien invaders and had never left, but now the red fog was too thick and no one could see anyone else more than one meter away.
After seeing that the alien invaders' cutting speed was not slow, he was temporarily relieved.
"Then what should we do?" Lou Feier pointed at herself and the others. "It seems...there is nothing for us to do?"
"Our mission is to be vigilant at all times," said Xu Xin.
In this thick red fog, he actually felt very insecure because his vision was too narrow.
It is so narrow that he may not be able to see the enemy even if he is right in front of him.
"Don't worry, if there's anything made of metal, I can spot it immediately." Li Wenxi raised his head and said with a smile, "So, wasn't it a wise decision to bring me along on this mission?"
"Indeed." Xu Xin also smiled.
In this environment of red fog and scarlet crystals erupting, if the alien invaders are not seriously ill, they should not enter the underground space in this state.
Just look at the state of the three alien invaders who fell to the ground even after being covered with protective film.
Therefore, before the red fog dissipates, there is a high probability that no more alien invaders will come here.
But the machine may come in to check again.
Therefore, before the red fog dissipates, Li Wenxi's ability is crucial.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Xu Xin squeezed Li Wenxi's hand, then looked around. "I'll... go check around a bit."
It was all red fog and I couldn't see anything.
But he still wanted to check out the surrounding walls.
Who knows what we might discover?
It's not a good idea to wait here all the time.
"Ah? Goodbye." Li Wenxi grabbed him and said, "We'd better not separate. If something happens, how can I warn you if we're too scattered? I can't yell for your attention."
Xu Xin pursed his lips.
That's true.
"So...just wait like this?"
If each of them had a cutter, they could speed up the progress, but now there are only four cutters, and several people can only wait here.
"Then just wait." Lou Feier walked to Xu Xin's side. "It's tiring to be so tense all the time. It's time to take a break. Otherwise, it would be bad if a crisis comes and you can't hold on."
Zeng Tao also came over and said, "Yeah, there's no point in looking around. What are you looking for? Those loose walls made of World Tree roots that might hold something behind them? I can't even pry them apart, so what's the point of you finding them?"
That's true.
Xu Xin looked into the depths of the red fog.
...Let's just forget about it for now.
Xu Xin looked at her and said, "Come to think of it, do you still think inhaling this scarlet mist is addictive?"
"Not now." Lou Feier shook her head. "But just now, when the scarlet crystal suddenly burst out with light and affected us, I had a hint of that feeling again in those few seconds."
"Me neither." Zeng Tao took a deep breath, "cough cough cough..."
Then he was choked by the red mist.
"Ugh... cough cough! And, cough, is this red mist really the same red mist as before? It doesn't smell good at all!"
Doesn't smell good?
ah……
Xu Xin remembered.
This thick red fog is somewhat different from the red fogs they had encountered before.
If it was the same red fog as before, when it was so thick, it would have smelled extremely foul and suffocating to Xu Xin and others!
