Chapter 1121: Chapter 604: Let the Spread Begin! (Part 2)

"Are you sure? We were all freaked out at the time!" Wang Lei added from the side, "Once you step in, it just sinks. Realizing it’s alive in that moment is simply terrifying!"

As he spoke, he vividly stroked his arm, showing goosebumps.

"That’s really..." Xu Ying couldn’t hide her excitement, "Great! I didn’t expect it to be right below!"

Oh?

It seems like this is a good thing.

"What exactly is it?" Xu Xin asked.

"Well... it’s a bit complicated to explain, let’s get moving first!" Xu Ying thought and said.

She released his arm, grabbed his hand, and smiled: "Come with me, sister-in-law, you too, let’s go see the underground world together."

"Huh? Going down now?" Li Wenxi, holding Keke, hadn’t reacted yet when Xu Ying grabbed her hand.

Xu Ying took them both by the hand and gently stomped her foot, and a purple-black vortex instantly formed beneath them.

"Eek!" Keke cried out, quickly jumping out of Li Wenxi’s arms and onto the ground, as if trying to escape.

Before the explorers could react, the three fell into the vortex, disappearing from their original spot.

Leaving the people in the treehouse looking at each other in confusion.

"Teleportation ability?" Zhao Xiaochuan said in surprise.

"Is it similar to Shi Wanyun’s ability? It seems even more convenient than Shi Wanyun’s, doesn’t require drawing teleportation array patterns." Wen Guixin squatted down and touched the ground.

"It’s normal for people from another time and space to have such ability." Qi Xuefei remained calm.

"By the way, didn’t we forget to ask Brother Xin and his sister to give us permission?" Wang Lei remarked, "We still can’t go out now!"

"There’s no need to go out for the time being." Qin Fu, sitting on the sofa, laughed, "Next comes the long daylight, right? Since we have time, let’s enjoy ourselves before making plans for the next step."

"Eek..." Keke lay nearby, yawned, glanced at the spot where Xu Xin and the others disappeared, and then started to doze off again.

Ji Chaoyang was looking out the window.

At this moment, his eyes were unfocused, without any focus.

Then, a glimmer flashed.

As the light faded, he took a deep breath, revealing a hint of exhaustion.

But in his eyes, a trace of seriousness and shock appeared.

He was just performing a prophecy.

The previous prophecy had come true, which was Xu Ying and Li Wenxi’s arrival.

So he immediately performed a new prophecy.

His current ability to foresee was basically stable on the next day.

But now there’s a problem.

The scene of his prophecy, will it happen on the next day inside the World Tree, or the next day outside?

If it’s the next day inside the World Tree...

Then... there’s going to be big trouble.

...

At this moment, Xu Xin and the others were already standing in the underground world.

Li Wenxi was the first to exclaim, "Oh my God, these insects are huge!"

Li Wenxi was here for the first time, although she had heard Xu Xin talk about their underground world experiences, seeing this chaotic scene in person was nevertheless extremely shocking.

"I wasn’t lying to you." Xu Xin laughed.

"Yeah, it’s really exaggerated..." Li Wenxi looked at everything around her, nodding blankly.

"This scene is actually normal for this area." Xu Ying explained to Li Wenxi, "Strange mutated giant beast plants are everywhere. It’s all due to endless experiments by those alien invaders."

As she spoke, she looked into the distance.

"Oh... indeed."

She also saw birds flying slowly in the air.

"The flow of time has indeed been affected..."

"Seeing it in person feels really different... Wait, if there are giant beasts here, what about the human base over there?" Li Wenxi suddenly turned to Xu Ying, "Will these beasts..."

"They won’t." Xu Ying shook her head, "The area occupied by giant beast experiments in the underground world is not very large. Our underground human base is across half a planet from here and not affected by these."

"But it was also affected by attacks from mutated creatures, wasn’t it?" Xu Xin commented.

Last time Xu Ying simply told him about these matters, and he remembered them vividly.

"Yes, but those are relatively smaller mutated creatures, which are more prone to reproduction and spread, hence affecting the human base."

Xu Ying nodded.

"These large ones are experimental subjects; their reproduction rate is very slow, and the biological resources in the underground world aren’t rich enough to sustain massive expansions of these giant beasts. So, those affecting the underground human base are mostly smaller mutated creatures. Of course, that’s relative to them. Compared to those tiny mutated creatures on the surface, the ones attacking the underground human base are still quite large."

Xu Ying pointed at those huge alien-like monsters ahead.

"The closer to that giant vine over there, the greater number of giant beasts there are." Li Wenxi stared at the conspicuous vine bundle ahead, "The giant beasts near that vine bundle are really fighting; that’s where the prison you mentioned is, isn’t it?"

"That’s where it is." Xu Xin nodded.

"It looks so oppressive..." Li Wenxi sighed, turning to Xu Ying, "So what should we do now?"
