Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1021: Chapter 569: The Potential Dangers of Space-Time Teleportation (2)

”Hmm... a rock?”

”That’s right, my whole body would be directly embedded in the rock, crushed into a pulp inside it!” Xu Ying shuddered at the thought, ”Just thinking about it is terrifying!”

”This, this, this...” Li Wenxi was also scared, ”Is space transmission really that dangerous!”

Remembering how she had been teleported by Xu Ying before, she felt a little scared after the fact.

”Not really.” Xu Ying pouted, ”My brother used to scare me like that, making me too afraid to use my spatial ability. But later I learned that as long as the coordinates are set, there’s no problem. Even if the coordinates aren’t set, if it’s a place I’ve been and remember, the margin of error is greatly reduced. As long as it’s not too far, it can almost be ignored.”

”I see, that’s a relief.” Li Wenxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”But unfortunately...” Xu Ying looked up at the dome again, ”I haven’t been up there, I don’t know where the landing point is, teleporting up there is basically courting death.”

”Then there’s no way, we can only wait for news from that side... wait a minute!”

Li Wenxi suddenly had an idea and clapped her hands, ”Can we ask the Wei Family to take us up for a look? We won’t mine, just look around, that should be okay, right? Didn’t you say that the teleportation device is mostly underground with only a small part exposed? What if the teleportation device above is upside down, with a small part exposed on the dome? Then we can see it directly!”

”Hmm... it doesn’t seem very likely that the teleportation device would be upside down on the dome.”

Xu Ying thought about it and found it unreasonable, ”If that were the case, wouldn’t those minions fall right through when they teleport over...”

”Is that so?” Li Wenxi, a bit troubled, held her chin.

She couldn’t think of any good ideas anymore.

”But you’re right, sister-in-law, we can definitely go up there for a look. Maybe we can find some entrance up there? After all, those minions have to come down after being teleported over, right?”

”Exactly! I’ll contact Wei Shishi now!”

”Yes, contact her quickly, call her back! She left so fast!”

...

On the ground, Shi Wanyun took a sip of water.

She was no longer forehead to forehead with Xu Xin.

Xu Xin was locked in thought, his brow furrowed.

A moment ago, Shi Wanyun had told him everything that happened next.

After that, things were quite simple.

When she was transported by the Crystal Ball to the edge of the underground city, the stone walls of the building had not yet fallen off.

The surrounding was still a stone city.

She was shocked by the underground city.

As she walked into this stone city, wandering down the paths, she marveled at the magnificence of the underground city.

Just as she was about to head to the central palace for a look, the Crystal Ball in her hand reacted again.

The image of the monster reappeared.

”This place has a very close connection with Xu Xin. You just need to wait here. With your current physique, not eating or drinking for a year or two isn’t a problem.”

”When he comes, you can start your mission. Kill him and you can leave, if you can’t for now, then leave with him and keep looking for opportunities.”

”Also, there should be another place similar to this nearby that’s unrelated to Xu Xin, but related to another troublesome human. After you finish this task, I’ll have you deal with that side.”

”The situation over there is really disgusting, unbearable... better let you humans handle it yourselves.”

Having said this, the monster then briefly explained the internal structure of this area, continuing its long-winded talk.

It seemed to have already figured out the structure here long ago.

”Don’t let that Xu Xin enter the central palace, although I haven’t worked out the situation here yet, there’s a feeling of danger there, you shouldn’t enter either. Just wait where I teleported you, and don’t move around.”

The monster’s voice grew more casual, although it was still in its somewhat peculiar language, its tone was clearly much more relaxed.

It seemed to be a talkative monster that was a bit uneasy face to face with humans, so it didn’t say much to Shi Wanyun before leaving. Now relying on visual transmission to convey messages, it became chatty again.

This gave Shi Wanyun a strange feeling.

A monster that appeared so physically repulsive to her, one that terrified her to the point of kneeling, was now talking to her as if it were a friend?

Even though it was just a recording, it was quite off-putting.

It added a touch of... intimacy to the monster’s image?

”Alright, that’s all that needs to be said, just wait here. I don’t know when Xu Xin will come, it could be tomorrow if he’s quick, otherwise... I don’t know, just keep waiting here.”

”Hmm... maybe I should help him find the place below?” the monster began talking to itself, its mouth full of teeth slightly opening and closing, ”I’m curious as to what’s below, but if it’s like that, won’t it help him? Ugh, troublesome, if only I could act directly on the surface...”

”... Forget it, doesn’t matter, what’s he capable of now? Just a disgusting piece of trash. I’ll help him out and let him die faster then.”

The monster’s tone carried a hint of disdain, then it said to Shi Wanyun, ”I’ll take action, he should come down in the next few days, be prepared. Remember, if you fail the mission, all of you survivors will be buried with you.”
