Lou FeiāEr saw Mimiās demeanor, recalling how she herself was watched by Mimi when she was first captured, looked at Shi Wanyun with a hint of schadenfreude, and then followed Xu Xin out of the treehouse.
Leaving only Shi Wanyun sitting alone on the bed.
"... Took my watch away and locked me here..."
Even if Shi Wanyun had a good temper, she couldnāt tolerate it any longer, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only sigh, attempting to get off the bed, only to be knocked back onto it by Mimiās paw.
"... What speed." Lying on the bed, Shi Wanyun stared blankly at the ceiling, "Are all the animals around Xu Xin this strong..."
...
Using the [Explorer] group, Xu Xin shared the information he had gathered from Shi Wanyun with the other members of the Explorers.
Wang Lei: "Ha? These alien invaders sure can spout nonsense!"
Wen Guixin: "They even have special assistance? Truly canāt afford to lose."
Ji Chaoyang: "Anyway, letās move quickly everyone, try to transplant all the treehouses before any issues arise."
Oh?
Xu Xinās eyes lit up.
The transplantation of the treehouses has begun?
Upon inquiry, it turned out that transplanting treehouses isnāt an easy task.
The current treehouses, influenced by the roots of the World Tree seedling, have undergone some subtle changes.
As long as the treehouses are within the vicinity affected by the World Tree seedlingās roots, they can be uprooted like ordinary trees, obtaining the entire plant for relocation and replanting.
Treehouses with cores will not become parasitic treehouses and the duration for carrying them is very long, just requiring transplantation within seven days to achieve 100% survival.
Even the parasitic treehouses, without cores and originally unable to be transplanted again, now have a chance for transplantation.
However, once dug out, these parasitic treehouses will have a drastically shortened survival time compared to normal treehouses, directly reducing to two hours, meaning transplantation must be completed within two hours, otherwise, they will perish from losing their energy source.
But this is not much of an issue for Xu Xin and the others.
Their distance is really quite close.
"So, now whatās the radius of influence of this young World Tree..." Xu Xin asked.
"The range is quite large. At least, the treehouses on Wen Guixinās side have been affected; their descriptions have already changed, allowing the transplant. I feel like now the influence of the World Tree covers the entire 188 zone."
This...!
Xu Xin looked toward the center of Crystal City.
The tree he recently planted now exceeds the height of all surrounding trees and even buildings, appearing from this view to be... at least sixty or seventy meters high!
Thatās approximately a twenty-story building in height!
Along with its densely growing banyan tree-like crown not losing out to its height, this young World Tree can now be called a towering giant!
Of course, itās far from the tree in Shi Wanyunās imagery.
Yet even so, this World Tree can influence faraway areas like Wen Guixin and Wang Leiās?
According to its description, the scope of the World Treeās influence is the area where its roots spread, meaning within this period, its roots have grown that far already?!
Itās truly absurd...
But also ideal!
"Other survivors, including those on your side, Iāve asked them all to go to Crystal City, they canāt help much else. The transport for the transplantation is left to Wang Lei, and although the purple-level backpack will reduce the weight of the treehouse to one-fifteenth, itās still too heavy for a normal person." Ji Chaoyang said.
"Okay, Iāll call Zeng Tao over too, and together with my bracelet, try to speed up the transplant process as much as possible."
Xu Xin immediately contacted Zeng Tao, asking her to return at once, while letting Lou FeiāEr take over Zeng Taoās watch, having her and Jin Yue guard the World Tree.
After all, not knowing what means those people would use, having two people guarding the World Tree is better.
"Is it really time to transplant the treehouses? Weāre moving collectively into Crystal City!" The arriving Zeng Tao appeared very excited.
"Alright, letās start the transplant quickly, we donāt know when danger might come, letās get it done soon."
"Oh, okay!"
Xu Xin arrived at his own treehouse, surveying the surroundings.
The pond dug out by him, surrounding canals, the electric grid, withering shrubs in the scorching heat, and the caves of three pangolins.
These arenāt important, they can be directly abandoned or relocated.
Incidentally, how about the egg incubating in the pangolin cave now? He hasnāt checked on it.
Has it hatched?
Wait...
Isnāt something missing...
Right!
Xu Xin immediately glanced around, once again searching for that little figure.
Whereās Keke?
Where did that little creature run off to again?
Isnāt its frequency of disappearing lately a bit too high?
