Chapter 1025 - 570: Stay With Me Until Dawn_3

"Alright, alright, I’ll get dressed right away..."

Ending the call, Xu Xin cradled the sleeping Keke in her arms and swung down from the treehouse.

After waiting for two minutes, Lou Fei’Er also swung down from the treehouse.

"So, shall we go now?"

"Let’s go."

To save time, Xu Xin called out the Silver King, while Lou Fei’Er rode on Axue, and the two of them moved quickly toward their destination.

In fact, her own speed was already faster than Axue’s, but conserving energy was always a priority.

The Crystal City was indeed bright, like a city that never sleeps.

As they passed the edge of Crystal City, Xu Xin saw many active mutated creatures.

Some of these mutated creatures were nocturnal, so they were not asleep.

"Awoo—" the Silver King howled.

Immediately, the mutated creatures quickly made way for them and watched them leave.

Soon, they arrived at the place Lou Fei’Er had mentioned before.

"This is it."

Lou Fei’Er pointed to a very narrow mountain crevice obscured by lush plants, "We just need to squeeze through here."

"Ying... Ying?" Keke also woke up, looked around in a daze, and immediately widened his eyes, "Ying ying ying?"

"Let’s go in. Remember, don’t move around. We’re just here to take a look."

Even if this was indeed the entrance to the underground human base, he didn’t plan to enter directly this time.

At least they had to see if anything happened tomorrow before considering other actions. Their primary goal now was to protect the World Tree.

After obtaining Shi Wanyun’s memory, he knew that this World Tree was undoubtedly their greatest bargaining chip and strongest resource.

"Just here to take a look? Alright, I got it. I’ll go in first."

Saying this, she slipped into the crevice.

"Ying!" Keke cried out and also jumped out of Xu Xin’s arms and slipped in.

"Axue, Silver King, you two stand guard here. Call us if anything happens."

"Awoo!"

"Awooo!"

After receiving a response, Xu Xin parted the plants at the edge of the crevice and squeezed in.

The narrow crevice wasn’t very long; after walking about seven or eight meters, he squeezed out of the crevice.

What appeared before him was a giant human-faced statue similar to the one before.

"As expected."

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Xu Xin nodded slightly.

Just as he thought.

Sure enough, it was Yingying’s face.

The statue was still made of stone, its surface appearing somewhat damaged.

The statue still bore some decorations that looked somewhat peculiar.

Speaking of which, the two people in the images back then were also dressed a bit oddly, and Xu Xin still hadn’t figured out why they were dressed that way.

Looking at this statue, Xu Xin knew it wasn’t the statue’s true appearance.

Once the seemingly worn stone layer was peeled away, the interior should also be a crystal statue.

He looked around again.

There were no ruins in this area, just this statue in the whole cavern.

Moreover, it wasn’t surrounded by walls, just normal mountain rock and soil.

"See, isn’t it almost identical to the one before, just with a different personality?" Lou Fei’Er stood in front of the human-faced statue, pointing at it, "Is this statue your sister?"

She had also thought of that.

"Yes, it is. She’s my sister." Xu Xin nodded.

"Really?" Lou Fei’Er exclaimed in surprise, "You siblings are incredibly strong. In that case, isn’t there another Crystal City below this place? Oh, look here."

Lou Fei’Er walked to the side of the statue and pointed at the statue’s ear: "There’s also a pendant on the ear, similar to the one on your statue before. So, just like before, we just need to turn the two ear pendants together to trigger the mechanism, right?"

"Ying!" Keke agreed.

By now, it had already climbed onto the statue’s head, lying at the edge and looking at one of the ears.

"Perhaps." Xu Xin went to the side and reached out to touch it; sure enough, the ear pendant could be turned.

Activating the mechanism should open the passage to the human base, right?
