Chapter 1257 - 650: Crisis Approaches, Xu Ying Returns

The origin of Chang Yin’s petrification ability is still unclear.

Although the monster used the petrification ability and the altar to cause some trouble for Xu Xin and the others, it is also clueless about these abilities.

So this matter remains unresolved for now.

At least for now, it seems that Chang Yin is still on their side, which is good enough.

”Eek...”

Keke climbed down from the second floor and nestled into Xu Xin’s arms.

”Keke, do you know what petrified creatures are?”

Xu Xin suddenly asked Keke.

This little one, Keke, is almost certainly from a time tunnel experience.

Moreover, it is very likely that it isn’t from the past, but from the future.

So it might know something.

Especially when those stone creatures were approaching the World Tree, Keke confidently assured Xu Xin that those petrified creatures posed no threat.

”...Eek?” Keke tilted its little head, eyes full of bewilderment.

Playing innocent very convincingly.

But Xu Xin wouldn’t be fooled by it.

”You little one, quickly tell me where those stone creatures came from.” Xu Xin picked up Keke by the scruff.

”Eek eek?” Keke let itself be picked up, wagged its big tail twice, still tilting its head innocently.

”Oh, what are you doing!” Li Wenxi took Keke into her arms, ”Why ask Keke about this? How could it possibly know!”

She rubbed Keke’s neck gently.

”Eek!” Keke nodded in agreement, waved its little paw at Xu Xin, and raised its little head.

This little rascal...

”Pfft, you’re just grasping at straws.” Lou Fei’Er couldn’t help but laugh.

In her view, interrogating Keke was absurd.

Keke might be magical, but how could it know such things.

Xu Xin was speechless.

The fact that Keke is from the future is still unknown to Li Wenxi and Lou Fei’Er.

Had it not been for his inability to use mind-reading on Keke, he might not have known the origins of this mysterious little one.

”Forget it.” Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.

If Keke doesn’t want to tell him, he can’t exactly force it.

”Keke, I’ll only ask once, are those stone creatures safe?” Xu Xin held Keke back, rubbing its little belly as he asked.

”Eek!” Keke confidently nodded its little head.

”So confident, and yet you say you don’t know.” Xu Xin squeezed its ear, saying wryly.

”Eek!”

Keke jumped out of Xu Xin’s arms, stood up, waved its little paw at him twice, and then ran to the second floor.

”Does Keke really know?” Li Wenxi said in surprise.

She felt Xu Xin wouldn’t speak rashly.

”Who knows?” Xu Xin spread his hands, ”Maybe it does know, this little rascal is quite mysterious. Keke it...”

”Can we trust those stone creatures outside now?” Lou Fei’Er suddenly asked, ”Those stone creatures used to attack us before.”

Xu Xin and the others indeed fought against stone creatures more than once.

”Now it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Xu Xin glanced at the second floor.

He chose to trust Keke.

Since he met this little one, it has never been wrong.

Perhaps it has already seen everything in the future.

Who sent it from the future?

...

Time inside the World Tree passed quickly.

In the World Tree, it’s like this; without the transition between day and night, the concept of time becomes blurred.

Luckily, they had long established a standard time.

They even erected a clock tower at the center of their living area, with huge clock faces on all four sides, showing everyone the current time.

At eight in the morning and eight in the evening, the clock chimes, letting everyone know how many days have passed according to the outside time.

Since Chang Yin’s arrival, it has been over half a month in the World Tree.

During this half month, nothing major happened; everything proceeded as usual.

”Sigh, why hasn’t Yingying come back yet.”

As the evening eight o’clock chime rang, Li Wenxi was chatting in the room with Lou Fei’Er and the other girls.

”According to outside time, she should have been out for over four hours by now, right?” Zeng Tao counted on her fingers.

Zeng Tao hadn’t been idle during this period.

She had enlarged the missile system developed by Ma Hongwei, turning it into a giant missile twenty meters long, increasing its power severalfold.

Now, the Explorers plan to install such missiles outside the World Tree.

”It might take even longer.” Jin Yue put down her cards, saying, ”I won.”

”Ah!” Lou Fei’Er widened her eyes at the cards Jin Yue placed down, then threw her own cards onto the table in frustration, ”Ugh, not playing anymore, always losing!”

They were playing a card game from the underground world.

”Why, can’t you take losing?” Zeng Tao teased.

”Bleh bleh bleh~”

”When Yingying returns this time, she should bring back many underground world survivors with her, right?” Shi Wanyun too laid down her cards, speaking softly.

”Yes, then it’ll get lively here!” Li Wenxi said with a smile.
