Chapter 1147 - 613: No Running Allowed! (2)
"So that means, this man..." Xu Xin’s eyes narrowed.
"It’s very likely that he is the owner of that World Tree, the regional manager of this area."
Xu Ying looked at the dense branches and leaves completely covering the window, making it impossible to see inside the treehouse, with a sparkle in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
"This explains why he can use the teleportation device so skillfully. It’s a big problem, but... also a very big opportunity!"
Regional manager...
The owner of a World Tree!
Just like...
That monster, pitch-black, covered all over with eyes?
"Wait... something seems off." Xu Xin immediately objected, "The owner of the World Tree, a human? Didn’t you say those alien invaders are extremely hostile to humans?"
"Those are ordinary alien invaders."
Using the invisibility cloak and the noise reduction device, Xu Ying and Xu Xin had silently approached within ten meters of the treehouse.
"If it’s that guy, it might be different. We can’t speculate on his attitude towards humans."
Xu Xin knew she was talking about the half-human, half-monster creature Shi Wanyun encountered, the one that drove people insane.
"...I said before, its mother is human, right? Actually... hmm?"
Xu Ying was about to say something when she suddenly seemed to sense something and murmured in confusion.
"What’s wrong?"
"...The smell of mutant creature blood? That man... is inside drawing Teleportation Array Patterns!"
As Xu Xin spoke, a purple-black whirlpool appeared beneath her feet.
"Are you trying to..." Xu Xin was startled.
"We can’t let him teleport away; we’ll capture him alive! Surely, we can get some information we don’t know from him!"
Xu Xin didn’t even have time to react before she fell directly into the teleportation whirlpool.
Soon after, they both appeared inside Shi Wanyun’s treehouse, facing the seemingly ordinary-looking man.
The man was staring at them in shock, and beneath his feet was the completed Teleportation Array Pattern.
The purple-black whirlpool had already appeared.
The man was about to fall in!
"Don’t run!"
Xu Ying grabbed his arm while he was still in shock and tried to pull him out.
"Don’t...!"
The man exclaimed in panic.
Suddenly, the purple-black whirlpool beneath his feet became violently unstable.
Just as Xu Ying pulled the man out, the whirlpool suddenly expanded several times.
Instantly, all three were swallowed by the purple-black whirlpool.
...
"How many times have I told you, before teleporting, can you give a warning first!"
Xu Xin looked angrily at Xu Ying, who was bowing her head before him, and reprimanded her.
"Any later, and it would’ve been too late..." Xu Ying hung her head, staring at her toes, "If I were any slower, he would have run away."
"And now, we’ve run with him?"
Xu Xin rubbed his slightly dizzy head, looking at the towering...
Giant tree.
A height of over a hundred meters seemed dwarfed by its canopy stretching for kilometers.
A World Tree.
They had been teleported directly to the side of the World Tree!
That man was indeed related to the World Tree!
Moreover...
Xu Xin looked towards the back of the World Tree.
To the east, where the sun rises.
He saw... shimmering waves.
Endless.
"The ocean..."
Xu Xin’s eyes twitched slightly.
He didn’t expect that just minutes after talking about the ocean, he would see it.
And the mysterious man who brought them here, now...
Xu Xin looked at the ground beside him.
"This guy, passed out."
Xu Ying used her foot to turn over the man lying face-up on the ground.
A face as pale as death, body rigid.
Eyes tightly shut, even whitish foam at the corners of his mouth.
"Is he dead?" Xu Xin frowned.
"No, it seems he was just... scared by the chaotic space-time." Xu Ying couldn’t help but laugh, "This guy thought we would be torn apart in the space-time rift and fainted from fear. Of course, being the initiator of the space teleportation, he did take the hardest hit."
"You mean..." Xu Xin looked at her, "You knew this would happen?"
"Yep. But with me here, it’s nothing," Xu Ying waved dismissively, "I’m quite skilled at this; nothing could happen to us."
...It was true that the two were completely unharmed, with Xu Xin only a little dizzy, and the man... had simply fainted.
Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
In her current state, she dared to do such a thing; it seems simple teleportation isn’t enough.
"If I hadn’t intervened, this man would really have been torn apart in the space-time rift." Xu Ying crouched down, looked at the man in front of her, and poked his nose, "Luckily he’s not dead."
"...Aren’t you concerned about what’s around us?" Xu Xin couldn’t help but ask.
This girl has been focused on the man since arriving here, completely ignoring the World Tree and the ocean just nearby.
