Chapter 1129 - 607: The Third Faction? World Tree Master Control

"Uh... what is that mind reading ability you just mentioned?"

Xu Ying was about to initiate the teleport when Li Wenxi suddenly asked.

She looked at Xu Xin, her expression somewhat strange: "You... you have mind reading abilities now? Can you, like... know what I’m thinking right now?"

Xu Xin had always kept his mind reading ability as a trump card, never revealing it to anyone, so Li Wenxi naturally didn’t know about it.

"Ah? No, certainly not." Xu Xin quickly waved his hand, "My mind reading is very limited."

"I remember, it’s only possible to communicate with beasts, right... hmm?" Xu Ying suddenly turned to look at Xu Xin, "Wait, brother, what exactly is your mind reading ability like?"

"You don’t know either?" Xu Xin was slightly surprised.

"Uh... I only know my brother has a method to communicate with beasts, achieved by probing brain waves or some other way, I didn’t think too much at the time. But now, thinking carefully..."

Xu Ying’s expression turned a bit strange too: "You can’t... really hear our thoughts, can you?"

She took a few steps back, then instinctively wrapped her arms around her head.

"Can you tell what I’m thinking right now?" Li Wenxi looked at him, slightly tilting her head.

"I can’t hear it." Xu Xin shook his head, "The description of my mind reading ability is that it can only read the thoughts of the native inhabitants of this world. According to my guess, native inhabitants are those who haven’t experienced time travel, people not influenced by time factors."

"Native inhabitants?" Xu Ying still looked at him warily, "You really can’t hear?"

"I said I truly can’t hear." Xu Xin helplessly spread his hands, "I can’t hear the thoughts of any survivor."

"I believe him." Li Wenxi laughed, "If he could read my thoughts, he certainly wouldn’t be so calm right now."

"Hmm?" Xu Xin was slightly puzzled, then realized what she meant, looked at her with interest, "What were you just thinking?"

"Hmph, not telling you." Li Wenxi’s cheeks turned slightly red, she stuck her tongue out at him, "Alright, Yingying, let’s go up!"

"Oh oh... no, wait!" Xu Ying’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Brother, are you sure your ability is [reading the thoughts of those who haven’t experienced time travel]?"

"Almost certainly." Xu Xin nodded, "From my observations over this period, there have been no exceptions."

"That’s great!" Xu Ying clapped her hands, delightedly grabbed Li Wenxi’s arm and shook it, "Unexpectedly, the breakthrough is here with my brother!"

"Ah...? Ah!" Li Wenxi was first puzzled, then suddenly understood, "That’s right!"

"What? What are you talking about?"

Now it was Xu Xin’s turn to be confused.

"Ah, it’s..."

"Sister-in-law, let’s go up first, the people above should be waiting impatiently, let’s deal with the World Tree matter first."

Li Wenxi just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Ying: "Let’s go, we’re going back!"

"No, you’re..."

Xu Xin still wanted to ask something, but was pulled into the teleport vortex by Xu Ying.

Opening his eyes again, he was already in the small world of the World Tree.

Moreover, right next to the central tree house.

"What exactly is going on?" Xu Xin couldn’t help but ask.

"Things are a bit complex, let’s explain after we handle this..."

"Ah, Brother Xin! You’re back!"

At this moment, the explorers were still in the tree house.

Wang Lei was leaning by the window, just saw Xu Xin and the others arriving.

"Pull us up, something strange is happening below." Xu Xin looked up and said.

Entering the tree house, everyone was still in their original positions.

"Eek!" Keke ran over to Xu Xin, climbed up his leg into his arms.

"You little one, why didn’t you come with us just now?" Xu Xin tugged at its ear and playfully scolded, "Being lazy again... huh? What’s wrong with you guys?"

Only then did Xu Xin notice that everyone’s expressions were... somewhat solemn?

Clearly, the atmosphere was relaxed when they left, why was it so heavy now?

"Why does everyone look troubled?" Li Wenxi couldn’t help but ask.

"Brother Xin, Wenxi, something big has happened!" Zhao Xiaochuan couldn’t hold back, "Brother Chaoyang predicted a huge crisis! Bigger than the previous World Tree siege battle!"

?!

Xu Xin’s gaze immediately sharpened, and he looked at Ji Chaoyang: "What’s going on?"

"After you left, I immediately made a prophecy. The result... a sky full of petrified creatures." Ji Chaoyang succinctly explained the situation.

"...Petrified creatures?!"

Xu Xin instantly thought of the situation below.

The underground prison used for researching petrified creatures was empty.

Could it be... the experiment succeeded, which is why this place was abandoned and everything moved elsewhere?!

"...Around the World Tree?" Xu Xin’s mind was racing.

"Exactly."

"Those petrified creatures..."

Before Xu Xin could ask, Ji Chaoyang continued, "Various creatures are included, with a large proportion of petrified giant beasts, and many petrified flying beasts soaring in the sky."

At this moment, Zeng Tao, sitting on the side, suddenly said: "When Xu Xin and I first descended, we were attacked by seven petrified pterosaurs!"

Xu Xin also recalled this.

Additionally, he remembered at the moment when the vine ball was about to close, in his line of sight that fleeting vision of...
