Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 869: Chapter 517: Back to the Surface, Suddenly!

”Boom... boom...”

As if responding to Xu Xin’s words, the tremors around them intensified!

The surrounding women couldn’t really hear what Xu Xin was saying because the roaring was just too loud!

”Crack...”

Along with the tremors came the sounds of stones cracking and being compressed!

The entire area of the Crystal City was shaking, cracks appeared in the stone ceiling above, and countless debris fell from above, shrouding the entire area in a layer of raised dust.

The swarms outside the palace were already in utter chaos at this moment.

They no longer surrounded the palace but scattered and fled in all directions.

Outside the window, countless stones also collapsed, hitting the window sill and bouncing inside, scattered on the crystal floor near the window.

It was as if an earthquake had occurred, threatening to bury them all underground!

”What? What’s rising? What are you talking about!” Zeng Tao clutched Xu Xin’s arm, her face full of panic, ”Is this an earthquake? Are we... are we going to be buried underground?!”

”This underground space is going to collapse!” Lou Fei’Er said anxiously, looking at the scene outside the window.

At this moment, the initially open windows of the palace suddenly shut with a ”bang.”

Isolating all the chaos outside.

Although they could still hear the chaos outside, the completely enclosed space gave Xu Xin an increased sense of security.

Because only he knew that with this palace’s defensive capability, the stones outside that could kill people couldn’t harm them at all.

As long as they stayed inside this palace, they were absolutely safe!

”Ah, the window closed!” Zeng Tao was a bit scared, ”We’re not going to be trapped in here, are we? This place cannot be damaged at all...”

”It’s fine, don’t worry.” Xu Xin looked around, searching for a little figure while casually comforting her.

”Is it really fine...”

”At least for now... while we’re in this palace, we should be temporarily fine, right?” Lou Fei’Er said.

Zeng Tao’s eyes brightened: ”Yeah, the material of this palace is extremely hard! No matter how much it collapses outside, we won’t be hurt!”

”If we get buried here, getting out won’t be easy.” Jin Yue was less optimistic as she frowned and looked out the window, ”We might end up being buried here!”

While Shi Wanyun was watching Xu Xin, she didn’t know what she was thinking.

Xu Xin didn’t immediately explain to them; instead, he turned around and looked around.

”Where is Keke? Where did Keke go?”

The third floor was devoid of that brown and white little figure. He immediately looked at the women: ”What happened just now, did you see Keke?”

”Keke? No?” Lou Fei’Er shook her head, ”The four of us were in that purple-black... universe, unable to get out, almost thinking we’d be trapped in there forever. But... no Keke.”

”Yeah.” Shi Wanyun nodded, ”I didn’t see that little panda either.”

What’s going on?

Where is Keke?

”Stay here, don’t wander around!” Xu Xin immediately wanted to run to the second floor, but he also thought he should explain, turning his head as he walked, ”Don’t worry, our situation is very safe right now; we’ll be able to return to the surface soon!”

”Huh? What? You... wait!” Zeng Tao wanted to follow, but Xu Xin had just told her not to move, and she was also afraid of stepping on a trap, so she could only stomp her feet, ”What! What’s the situation!”

Shi Wanyun watched Xu Xin’s figure disappear from the passage entrance, retracting her gaze, she said: ”He just said that this palace will rise to the surface. Perhaps we just need to stay inside this palace.”

”The palace rising to the surface?” Lou Fei’Er was surprised, pointing to the ground, ”You mean this palace will ascend directly to the surface?”

”It’s not me saying it; it’s Xu Xin.” Shi Wanyun softly said.

Lou Fei’Er, Zeng Tao, and Jin Yue exchanged glances and then showed joyful expressions.

They all trusted Xu Xin immensely, so since Xu Xin said so, they immediately felt there was no problem.

”Then I’m relieved!” Zeng Tao plopped down onto the crystal ground, sitting crossed-legged, supporting herself with her hands behind her, stretching her body, ”Let’s take a break, I really thought we were going to be stuck in that place and couldn’t get out!”

The other three women didn’t relax as she did but showed pensive expressions.

”These palaces... will rise to the surface?”

...

After coming out of that image, Xu Xin’s mind had more vague memories.

Memories about this palace.

Now, he was more familiar with the structure of this palace.

He reached the stairs to the second floor, found the switch for the mechanism, and deactivated the palace’s deadly traps.

Only he could deactivate this mechanism, in his vague memory, it used gene recognition; no one but him could operate this palace.

This was quite normal, after all, this palace was created by him.

The roaring was ongoing,

”Alright, you guys, this palace is safe inside!” Xu Xin shouted towards the third floor, ”You can come down freely now!”
