Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1460 - 717: Eliminate All Hidden Threats!

”Alright, let him be.”

The two stayed silent for a long time amidst the continuous explosions.

”Brother, I’m getting restless.” Xu Ying turned to Xu Xin, ”Otherwise, give me back the wristband containing the other time-space weapon.”

”...What do you plan to do?”

”If the scarlet crystal isn’t fully destroyed, then I’ll use the weapon from the other time-space to handle the aftermath.”

”...Without you, we can’t return.”

”Wait... Brother! I just remembered!” Xu Ying fixed her gaze on him, ”You can set coordinates to transmit! You’ve come this way, if you set coordinates here, can’t you transmit back and forth?”

Xu Xin rolled his eyes at her, ”This is within the realm of the World Tree’s influence, what’s the use of setting coordinates here?”

The issue of coordinates was something he obviously wouldn’t miss.

Along the way, he’d tried several times, unable to set coordinates for transmission.

Here, the landscape is all desert, filled with shifting sands that morph with the wind, making it impossible to set coordinates.

And the solid ground is within the World Tree’s domain; even if coordinates were set, transmission wouldn’t be possible due to its restrictions.

Moreover, it’s exceedingly dangerous here—the lair of alien invaders—everything is under their control. Not only would it be unusable, but they might even exploit it.

That would be absurd.

Xu Xin’s reasoning left Xu Ying speechless.

”Oh, right, that previous World Tree! Old Yang who helped us get here!”

Xu Ying’s eyes lit up with excitement, ”We could ask him for help! It’s close by and we can ride the Silver King to get there!”

”Hmm... If Old Yang agrees, it might indeed be feasible,” Xu Xin mused, stroking his chin, ”But can they really control that World Tree completely?”

If setting a coordinate here was possible, it certainly would be more suitable.

”Never mind that, let’s go ask! Let’s move out now!”

Xu Ying grabbed Xu Xin’s wrist.

”Wait a minute, there’s something you need to understand first.”

”Mm? What is it?”

”Coordinates require locations at both ends for mutual transmission. But according to Ji Chaoyang’s prophecy, our World Tree is likely to have fallen at this point in time. The coordinates might have long been destroyed.”

If the coordinates on the other side were destroyed, then we’d be stranded here.

”...We should at least try!”

”And even if the other side is destroyed, we need to set one here!”

”Once I take you back, we’ll set new coordinates to connect again. Even if my abilities become unusable, we can still move back and forth repeatedly!”

”In that case... I wouldn’t have to wait here forever! We could return first!”

Xu Ying’s eyes gleamed brighter as she spoke!

”...Alright, let’s go.”

Xu Xin glanced back at the World Tree.

The World Tree had ceased its trembling and shedding, settling down.

Only the surrounding factories were still in continual explosive disarray.

Let’s let matters here settle down a bit.

...

”Find you a level place to set up a transmission device?” Old Yang looked pained, ”You really know how to give me trouble...”

”Hey, you’ve seen our actions over there already, right?” Xu Ying negotiated, ”Shouldn’t you trust us unconditionally now!”

”...Honestly, I hadn’t expected you to blow up the largest warship.” Old Yang exclaimed, ”That’s exactly why I’m waiting here for you to come back; I think it’s about time you returned.”

Xu Xin and Xu Ying exchanged a glance.

”Actually, the other three warships of the alien invaders were also destroyed,” Xu Ying said with a smile.

”What?!” Old Yang’s eyes clenched, ”Are you serious?!”

”I heard it directly from the mouth of the alien invader’s leader. It can’t be false,” Xu Xin said calmly.

”Directly from their mouth...? You...”

”Moreover, we’ve completed our objective too, the concentrated crystals of the alien invaders have been destroyed by us,” Xu Xin said.

Though it’s not completely confirmed, he thought to himself.

Old Yang’s expression turned ambivalent.

Suspicion, excitement, doubt...

”...Alright, I can provide you the location.”

Finally, Old Yang relented.

He smiled wryly, ”I’ve lived enough anyway, just hoping you... can match your words. Don’t take my loyalty to humanity as a token for deceiving me.”

”What we’re saying is true.”

Old Yang gave them a long, hard look.

”Okay, I understand. Follow me.”
