"I’ll go too." Jin Yue also walked over.

"Wow, I totally forgot, you guys are double agents!" Zeng Tao exclaimed, "I kinda want to go with you and take a look myself..."

"...Try to come back within an hour." Xu Xin advised.

"Don’t worry, we’ll be quick." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Shi Wanyun had already finished drawing the Teleportation Array Pattern, and the figures of the three flashed and disappeared.

"Should I go over and take a look? I can bring them back when the time comes." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin and asked, "It’ll be pretty troublesome for them to return, right?"

The three only needed to draw the Teleportation Array Pattern to go, but to return, they needed to use the Transmission Array over there to get back to the Crystal City edge’s Transmission Array, then pass through Crystal City to return to the World Tree.

Just returning to the city would consume quite a bit of time.

"No need." Xu Xin shook his head, "Even though your ability might have been exposed, it’s best not to use it lightly. Besides, it’s easy for them to come back. I’ve already set up a coordinate by our side of the Transmission Array."

After being teleported from there, they can directly teleport next to the World Tree using the coordinates, without needing to cross the several-kilometer radius of Crystal City.

During this time, with abundant resources, Xu Xin had placed coordinates at various positions inside and outside the World Tree, enabling very powerful mobility through them.

It’s just a pity that the coordinates can’t cross the inside and outside of the World Tree, there’s no way to teleport directly from outside the World Tree to inside, and vice versa, it’s the same.

However, this underscores the security of the World Tree, at least no one can come and go at will using other methods.

"Let’s go."

Everyone returned to the World Tree together.

In the more than a minute Xu Xin spent outside, the explorers inside the World Tree had already learned about the situation outside through Wang Lei.

When several people returned to the World Tree, everyone had been waiting for a long time in their regular meeting treehouse.

Without wasting time, Xu Xin explained the situation outside in detail.

"Forty to fifty kilometers away, huh..." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "I thought so, just now I went to the underground control panel to observe the situation outside, and didn’t find anything unusual."

"Those stone creatures, they’re all land-walking, huh." Zhao Xiaochuan pondered, "With their large size, could they move quickly? Forty to fifty kilometers away, I feel like they’re about to arrive soon."

"Not that soon." Li Wenxi spoke, "I just asked Sister Gui Xin, those statues are like the last group of Tyrannosaurs, they’re coming this way, not in an all-out charge. At their current speed, it will be at least two hours before they arrive."

In two hours outside...

Inside the World Tree, over a week will pass.

"Goodness, we’re practically foreseeing the danger," Wang Lei couldn’t help but exclaim, "foreseeing the risk that will arrive a week later, suddenly I feel like Brother Chaoyang’s ability is unnecessary... Ah, I didn’t mean it that way, Brother Chaoyang!"

Ji Chaoyang smiled, "You have a point."

"There’s no point at all." Qi Xuefei defended Ji Chaoyang, "With the World Tree’s blessing, he can predict a hundred days into the future, and that’s the function of his ability combined with the World Tree."

"Ah, right!" Wang Lei clapped his hands, then wondered, "But a hundred days into the future is a bit too far away, isn’t it?"

"It’s not far at all for us," Xu Xin shook his head, "If we’re facing a major crisis, a hundred days of preparation time might not be enough. Plus, not all dangers come running from dozens of kilometers away like today. What if they teleport directly around Crystal City?"

The latter possibility is actually higher, because in the previous beast tide, except for the Tyrannosaur group, all the mutated creatures appeared this way.

"Alright, let’s not discuss my ability. Let’s think about how to deal with this petrifying beast tide." Ji Chaoyang clapped his hands.

Petrifying beast tide...

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang exchanged a glance, both thinking of their previous suspicions.

These stone creatures might...not be here to attack them.

But it’s still not certain.

"How about we go directly to the petrifying beast tide’s location and take a look?" Xu Xin suggested.

The petrifying beast tide is now over forty kilometers away, if he wants to go over, he only needs...one Xu Ying.

Xu Xin looked behind him.

Only Zeng Tao was behind him, blinking at her.

"...Where’s Yingying?"

"She didn’t come in, said it was boring, and went back, probably to play games again, right?" Zeng Tao looked out at the villa.

"Ah? I didn’t even notice!" Li Wenxi was a bit speechless, "Isn’t Yingying being a bit too lazy lately?"

"...I’ll go find her." Xu Xin rubbed his forehead and said to everyone, "We have plenty of preparation time right now, no need to hurry. I’ll teleport with Yingying to the statue group over there and scout the situation. Once we return, we’ll consider further strategies."

Ji Chaoyang nodded, "That’s what I intended too. Mm, go if it’s really the long seal, you’re the most suitable to go."

"Long seal?" The other explorers were taken aback, then showed thoughtful expressions.
