"Great!" Zeng Tao and Jin Yue immediately nodded.
"Just what I wanted!"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
The other members of the explorers also agreed one after another.
To bring everyone back as quickly as possible, Xu Xin directly placed everyone into her wristband, then released Silver King to rush back to the treehouse, and released the others.
Everyone teleported back to their own treehouses.
However, Ji Chaoyang did not rush back immediately. Instead, he looked around Xu Xinās treehouse and then asked Xu Xin, "Can your map ability detect anything unusual around here?"
Xu Xin shook her head, "Not at the moment."
He patted Kekeās little head in his arms, "Keke, did you find anything?"
"Hmm," Keke indicated there was nothing.
Ji Chaoyang looked at the purple-black light beam in another direction, rubbing his chin as he thought, "Judging from how the mysterious voice that was supposed to sound in our ears suddenly disappeared, the launch of this event by them was likely rushed, which is why this happened. Otherwise, if we couldnāt hear it, wouldnāt it be better?"
Indeed, thatās the case.
Xu Xin nodded.
"So, even if they intend to attack that young world tree, it should take some time to prepare," Ji Chaoyang speculated, "and this preparation period might not be short."
"You mean..."
"We might be able to use this time to quickly transplant all of our treehouses into the Crystal City."
... Can we really do that!
He had just been considering the matter on Shi Wanyunās side, but he hadnāt thought about this angle.
However...
Xu Xin pondered its feasibility.
"Would it be dangerous if they suddenly attacked..."
"But if we succeed, our safety would be almost perfectly guaranteed."
Heās right.
Currently, the most lethal threats to survivors like them are the beasts and extreme weather, but...
It seems the Crystal City could protect them from these?
"... If possible, could we start by transplanting their parasitized treehouses?" Xu Xin proposed.
If we get them in there, given their abilities, they shouldnāt be afraid of much.
"Okay. As long as you go and check with Shi Wanyun, weāll handle the transplanting. Iāll see how to transplant the treehouses, and you go take care of your tasks first."
"Alright."
Itās always easier talking to smart people. He has so many tasks to handle right now, so heāll leave the transplanting to them for now.
"By the way," Ji Chaoyang turned to him before teleporting away, "Qin Fu has woken up, and Lou FeiāEr should be waking up soon."
Oh?
A purple-black vortex swallowed Ji Chaoyang, and Xu Xin immediately turned his wristband to release the two.
Qin Fu, indeed, was awake, and he was staring wide-eyed at Lou FeiāEr in astonishment.
But as for Lou FeiāEr, she no longer appeared as weak as before, and her face was even rosy, with a relaxed expression, but...
Her hair had grown unbelievably long, and her skin had become wrinkled, quite frightening.
Upon emerging, Qin Fu was initially stunned, then pointed at Lou FeiāEr and turned to Xu Xin, saying, "Boss, what... what happened to her?"
To someone uninformed, Lou FeiāErās appearance could indeed be a bit shocking at the moment.
"Uh..." Lou FeiāEr slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the ground, then rubbed her eyes.
And just like that, she accidentally rubbed her eyelids off.
"Hissā" Qin Fu gasped, "Has she contracted some infectious disease?"
He immediately retreated several steps back.
"Ah!" Lou FeiāEr screamed and jumped up, clutching her face, and then...
"Ahā!" Her scream grew louder, causing Shi Wanyun in the treehouse nearby to lean out and look this way.
"Itās nothing, itās just like that." Xu Xin explained briefly.
"Ah... I see." Lou FeiāEr immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly covered her face and rushed towards her treehouse, "Iāll go tidy up! Ah!"
She almost tripped over her hair, which was longer than her height, so she had to gather it up as she quickened her pace back to her treehouse, quickly retreating inside.
"Such a good thing exists..." Qin Fu murmured in astonishment as he watched Lou FeiāErās disappearing figure, then turned to Xu Xin, "Boss, do I get a piece of that? I think I helped you quite a bit this time, didnāt I?"
Thatās right, he still doesnāt know what this guy experienced underground, or why he passed out near the giant gate.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Well, slept it off, feeling good, although Iām still a bit in the recovery phase, normal activities shouldnāt be an issue," Qin Fu rubbed his temples.
"So he has entered a recovery phase."
Xu Xin glanced in the direction of Shi Wanyunās treehouse.
She was still looking this way and smiled when she saw Xu Xin look at her, before withdrawing back in.
Xu Xin furrowed his brows.
For the first time entering the recovery phase, shouldnāt one be too weak to even stand? There is indeed something unusual about her, and it warrants caution.
As Lou FeiāEr was now awake and appeared to be in excellent condition, he decided it would be a good time to take her along to approach Shi Wanyun.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Xin asked Qin Fu, "What exactly did you experience underground?"
"Hmm..."
Qin Fu recounted his experience briefly.
The initial part of his experience was similar to what Zeng Tao and Jin Yue went through.
However, Qin Fu arrived earlier, entering the Central Palace before Xu Xin activated the entire Crystal City underground.
