Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1103 - 598: Catapult Takeoff (2)

The entire vine ball was suspended by three vines that looked very slender, at most two fingers thick.

And these three fine vines were hanging directly from above.

They dangled straight down from the dome of the underground world, which is several kilometers high.

Were they lowered down by suspension?

No wonder they descended so quickly...

”...This feels somewhat unsafe.” Xu Xin instantly felt a bit scared.

These vines are too thin.

If a few flying mutant creatures were to slash at them, it would be disastrous.

”Giant beasts, giant beasts, they’re huge!” Zeng Tao exclaimed in a lowered voice.

Xu Xin turned around and immediately saw two giant beasts.

Compared to the Tyrannosaurus, which is over ten meters long and five or six meters tall, the oppressive force of these giant beasts in the underground world is much stronger.

Fortunately, just like last time, these giant beasts showed no hostility toward him, basically ignoring him.

He relied on his vision enhancement to see an ”old acquaintance” several kilometers away: the creature covered all over with algae leaves.

At this moment, an ant about half a meter long, whose height reached up to his calf, passed in front of him.

This ant slightly tilted its head, its antennae moved, and then it crawled past Xu Xin.

Its speed was exceedingly fast; in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

”Ah!” Zeng Tao screamed in fright, lunging towards Xu Xin.

Xu Xin could not bear her weight and was immediately knocked to the ground, gasping.

”Hiss—get off me!”

He felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed!

”Insects! Big insects!”

Zeng Tao still looked terrified: ”Another big ant! Why are there big ants here underground?”

They had all encountered big ants before.

Like those ants during the treehouse defense battle that didn’t harm the survivors but madly gnawed at the treehouse.

”The ant that just passed by is the same kind as those in the treehouse defense battle.” Shi Wanyun said, looking towards where the ant disappeared.

It seems that the group of ants from the treehouse defense battle was fished out from the underground world.

It seems that while the alien invaders can’t control large Blood Pattern Giant Beasts, they can control these ”little giant” ants.

”Oh my god, what is that!” Zeng Tao exclaimed in horror again, ”A centipede two or three meters long, I... I...”

”Get up, get up!” Xu Xin slapped her on the head.

”Oh, oh, oh...” Zeng Tao quickly got up, ”I’m scared... Big insects are too terrifying...”

Xu Xin rubbed his aching and numb stomach and stood up: ”In this underground world, you have to get used to big insects. Most of the insects here are larger than us, but don’t worry, because they’re mostly weak.”

”Weak or not is one thing, disgusting or scary is another...” Zeng Tao muttered, ”Huge insects... They’re just too terrifying...”

”Ying...” Keke rubbed its eyes with its small paw and woke up. It raised its little head to look into the sky, ”Ying...?”

”Hey, hey, hey, look at the sky!” Lou Fei’Er suddenly exclaimed in horror like Zeng Tao, ”Up in the sky...!”

Everyone immediately looked into the sky.

There was a group of fireflies about the size of cars flying chaotically around the dozens of meters high vine Cannibal Flowers, looking very impressive.

But Lou Fei’Er had seen this sight before and would not be terrified by it.

What terrified her was...

Pterosaurs!

Yes, pterosaurs!

And they were petrified pterosaurs!

What’s more, there were... seven of them!

If it were just one, they would have been able to handle it, but seven...

There’s absolutely no chance!

The petrified pterosaurs all flew from the giant vine cluster, and their target direction was clearly aimed at them!

”Are those the pterosaurs that knocked me out before?” Zeng Tao said in surprise. Her fear of pterosaurs was lower than that of giant insects, but she was also very nervous and directly reached for her backpack, trying to take out her giant blade.

”Don’t move any of you!” Xu Xin ordered in a low voice.

With the cloaking device, they could hide and not be discovered.

”But you...” Lou Fei’Er looked at Xu Xin, who had no cloaking device, with an anxious expression.

Xu Xin quickly scanned the surroundings.

Everywhere were giant insects, giant beasts.

Everywhere were strange vines.

There was simply no place to hide.

Could they get back up inside the vine ball now?

With the flying speed of those petrified pterosaurs, there was no time!

Jin Yue immediately wanted to take off her hood: ”Use my cloak, I’ll distract them!”

”No need, come here!” Shi Wanyun stopped Jin Yue’s action, pulled Xu Xin by the arm, and directly pressed against him, threw the cloak around them both.

Oh no, around both of them and a little panda.

”Ying ying...?” Keke was wrapped in the cloak, calling muffledly, ”Ying?”

The cloaking device took effect.

Everyone was hidden.

Because the speed of the petrified pterosaurs above suddenly slowed down, and their direction became less certain.

The pterosaurs still flew over and began to circle above the vine ball where Xu Xin and the others were.

The five of them dared not make a sound, looking up at the pterosaurs.
