Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1355 - 683: Voices of the Alien Invaders (Part 3)

Unfortunately, perhaps because the alien invaders’ nervous systems are too different from those of Earth’s creatures, he can listen to some inner voices but cannot completely capture what the alien invaders are thinking.

Only able to catch some fragmented words, not even able to piece together the general meaning.

But that’s enough; at least Xu Xin can sense the fluctuations in emotions from the scattered inner voices.

At least the alien invader in front of him didn’t care about his cough just now.

Could they talk quietly?

”... Ah, hello?” Xu Xin whispered.

Then he felt a slight pain in his arm.

It was Li Wenxi lightly pinching him.

Li Wenxi’s little face had turned pale from fright, quickly pinching Xu Xin to make him shut up.

Yet she didn’t dare use force, fearing that a strong pinch would make Xu Xin cry out in pain, which would be disastrous, so she only dared to pinch lightly.

Lou Fei’Er and Jin Yue were also looking nervously at the alien invader dozing in front of them.

The monster had once said that human voices are extremely unpleasant to alien invaders, akin to humans hearing a fingernail scrape on a blackboard.

Therefore, if the alien invader in front could hear his voice, he might wake up.

The alien invader did indeed open his eyes halfway the instant Xu Xin spoke, terrifying Li Wenxi and the other two women.

Yet it seemed somewhat puzzled at the moment.

[Why... this... uncomfortable?]

[I... how...]

[Sick...?]

Xu Xin worked hard to read the inner voice of the alien invader in front of him.

After a simple analysis, he understood.

The alien invader in front of him should be able to hear his voice.

But like its body, his voice was ignored.

It’s like someone intensely focused on playing games at home would not care what the aunt downstairs chatting outside the window is saying.

Yet even so, his voice indeed reached the alien invader’s ears.

This extremely unpleasant voice to the alien invader caused the ”vendor” in front to feel discomfort.

It didn’t know whence this discomfort came, starting to suspect whether it was ill.

A slight smile curled on Xu Xin’s lips.

It seems they can still speak.

As long as they speak quietly, it should be fine.

Xu Xin led the three women to a slightly farther place.

”We can talk now,” Xu Xin whispered.

His sudden speech startled the three women again, making them hurry to look at the surrounding alien invaders.

Fortunately, no alien invaders were paying attention here.

But alien invaders are covered all over with eyes and can see in all directions, so it seems like every alien invader is paying attention to them.

This is why Li Wenxi and the others are so nervous.

Being stared at by so many terrifying alien invaders would make anyone nervous.

Only someone like Xu Xin, who can read some alien invaders’ inner voices, has some confidence.

”Re... really?” Li Wenxi chose to believe what Xu Xin said, whispering.

Still not discovered by the surrounding alien invaders.

”It’s like this...” Xu Xin explained his guess.

”I see... Then we can indeed quietly communicate,” Lou Fei’Er whispered too, ”That’s great, I’ve been holding back so much I wanted to say. First of all... what place is this anyway?”

Xu Xin rubbed the little fellow who kept shrinking in his arms, afraid to expose its entire head: ”That, we’ll have to ask Keke. It insisted we come in.”

”Oww...” Keke’s little ears moved, extending its little paws, ”Oww...”

Keke’s voice has also become very small, no longer willing to run around by itself.

It seems it also started to fear these surrounding monsters.

”That’s the situation. My identification ability can detect the quality of the stuff on those stalls, and there are quite a few good things.” Xu Xin whispered, ”The thing Keke wants us to find should be inside as well.”

”But how are we going to take the stuff from the stalls?” Jin Yue whispered, ”If it were a person, we could sneak it away while they’re not paying attention, but the alien invaders...”

Alien invaders are covered all over with eyes, able to look in all directions, unless they’re dozing like the vendor earlier, there’s no chance of sneaking away.

”Cloaking device, and... space bracelet.”

Xu Xin whispered an explanation.

The cloaking device doesn’t just make the wearer disappear.

Anything wrapped in the cloak will disappear as well, like Keke in Xu Xin’s arms or the clothes Xu Xin is wearing.

These external items can also be hidden.

”Wrap an item with a corner of the cloak, making the item’s presence disappear, then store it in the bracelet,” Xu Xin whispered, ”This method might work.”

Li Wenxi and the other two women exchanged glances, then nodded.

At present, this seems to be the most suitable method.

Xu Xin sighed in his heart.

This kind of thing should be done by Zhao Xiaochuan; he’s the most skilled, doesn’t even need to use the cloak to wrap, just reaching out would be enough.

He can even wave it twice in the opponent’s face without them realizing.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaochuan is over with Xu Ying and Wen Guixin.

”Then let’s act now.”

Xu Xin glanced at the corridor.

The corridor had somehow returned to its opaque state, unable to see the situations inside.

But the mechanical little jellyfish hadn’t come out from inside, and were still continuously heading in.

... Need to hurry.
