Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1447 - 714: Detonate, Shatter the Source of Life!

The terrifying explosion rendered the two speechless.

Moreover, the events unfolding before them were shockingly unexpected!

”Yingying, you... your action was too rash!” Xu Xin couldn’t help but scold.

”Exactly, now they’ll know there’s something wrong within the giant ship!” Li Wenxi said urgently, ”Our current situation...”

”What is there to fear.” Xu Ying said with an excited smile, watching the giant mushroom cloud slowly rise before her, ”As long as this shot proves effective!”

”You... Our location is now exposed, so how do you plan to use the giant cannon of the ship to replicate the weapon you brought back from another space-time?”

Seeing Xu Ying still controlling the ship, Xu Xin stepped forward and pulled her back.

”Oh, brother, this ship’s weapon is useless.”

The mushroom cloud had soared into the sky by now, its terrifying size far exceeding even the thickest of clouds.

Below the mushroom cloud, the devastation from the bombing was displayed before their eyes.

The entire center of the Transmission Array had been blasted into a massive crater!

The alien invader city, just a moment ago, had been utterly obliterated by this single shot!

And that wasn’t all.

This shot, besides its earth-shattering explosion, also had a piercing effect!

Xu Xin and the others were on the giant ship, and since the shot was fired from it, they could clearly see that the crater had slanted downwards, digging through to create a multi-kilometer long tunnel!

The ground was penetrated several kilometers deep by this shot!

No...

Perhaps not just several kilometers.

Because several kilometers away, blocking the tunnel entrance, was not the surface, but the roots of a world tree.

The roots of the world tree were dense, but appeared...

Somewhat new.

The robust roots were loosely entwined, yet were very clean, their surfaces bare of soil, without even a speck of dirt in the gaps between them.

Xu Xin’s pupils contracted.

... This shot actually pierced through the roots of the world tree, while also penetrating the ground beyond!

But now, due to the world tree’s strong regenerative ability, as Xu Xin and the others waited for the mushroom cloud to rise and saw the situation below, the world tree’s roots had already grown back completely.

That’s why there was this situation where there wasn’t a trace of soil around the roots of the world tree.

”... Truly the main cannon of the alien invader’s giant ship,” Xu Xin couldn’t help but marvel.

However, this seemed logical.

The giant ship the alien invaders used to traverse the universe, having a main cannon powerful enough to bore a large hole through Earth’s crust, made sense.

”Ah! This...!”

Suddenly, Xu Ying covered her mouth.

Because she realized the main cannon could pierce through the roots of the world tree!

To her, the world’s tree roots couldn’t be much harmed even by nuclear bombs.

Due to the roots’ intense restorative capability, nuclear explosions might shatter the outer layer, but it would instantly repair itself.

On one hand, there is destruction, on the other, rapid repair.

Thus, even a nuclear bomb could only scratch the outer skin of the world tree’s roots.

Or should I say, continuously scrape off innumerable layers of regenerating outer skin.

But no further damage could be done.

The world tree is indestructible, and its roots have the strongest restorative capability.

Thus, Xu Ying thought the scarlet crystal protected by the world tree roots couldn’t be destroyed from the outside.

Yet unexpectedly...

The main cannon of the giant ship could instantly punch through the world tree’s roots!

This...

Isn’t this precisely the superweapon she was seeking to clean up the shattered scarlet crystal after it broke?

The concentrated scarlet crystals are protected by the world tree roots!

The weapon with power to penetrate the world tree roots might not destroy the entire massive concentrated scarlet crystal.

But...

It can certainly clean up the small fragments after they blast them into tiny pieces!

Absolutely can!

”Ah! This... We must quickly return to Sister Gui Xin and the others!”

Xu Ying suddenly felt a bit panicked, and said.

She thought the ship’s weapon wouldn’t harm the world tree roots, hence she recklessly did this.

Unexpectedly, the ship’s main cannon was immensely powerful!

Thus, her actions were indeed alerting the enemy!

Yet she didn’t regret it.

Had she not done so, she wouldn’t have discovered the cannon’s power.

But now, she must seize the moment!

”Ah... So the giant cannon is actually useful!” Li Wenxi also finally understood, ”So now...”

She looked at the bottom right of the screen.

There was only one shot left in the main cannon’s ammunition.

Luckily, there’s still one shot!

Weapons in other sections might not achieve such results!

”We must hurry back!” Xu Xin immediately grabbed Xu Ying’s arm and urged her.

Now, they must race against time!

Now, what they can do is quickly return around the scarlet crystal, detonate it while evacuating everyone, and then return to the control room of the giant ship and fire the last shot!
