They need not be overly tense.
"Woo..." Keke nestled in Xu Xin’s arms, her little head peeked out halfway, and her tiny paws stretched out halfway, pointing in a direction.
Keke was guiding him.
Over there, it was precisely the most crowded area of this "marketplace."
Whether it was the alien invaders "stalling" or the ones acting freely, there were quite a few.
Xu Xin steadied himself, gesturing to the three women beside him to move in that direction.
The three women nodded gently.
Just as Xu Xin was about to take his first step, suddenly, overhead, the mechanical jellyfish wandering in the air began to move.
Some of them abruptly changed their flight direction, heading straight toward them!
This...!
Everyone’s expression changed instantly.
What’s happening?!
Have we been discovered?
No, it’s impossible, they haven’t done anything yet, how could they be discovered?
Xu Xin immediately reacted.
These mechanical jellyfish must be heading for the corridor behind them!
Because they were still positioned at the corridor’s exit!
Xu Xin grabbed Li Wenxi’s arm, slowly moving toward one side of the corridor.
Lou Fei’Er and Jin Yue closely followed.
Just as the group barely cleared the exit, dozens of mechanical jellyfish had already flown over, skillfully wedging themselves into the transparent door gap of the corridor.
One after another.
Xu Xin saw those mechanical jellyfish darting toward the end of the corridor, which was the entrance to the world tree.
Although the first group of mechanical jellyfish that entered didn’t discover Xu Xin and his panions, the managers of the world tree probably still assumed someone was inside.
But since this corridor couldn’t possibly hide anyone, the managers didn’t believe intruders came out of the passage, choosing to dispatch mechanical jellyfish to intercept again from the exit.
What a pity they didn’t know that the intruders had long swaggered right through under their noses, entering the world tree’s interior.
Though the other side was highly concerned about the mysteriously disappearing intruders, Xu Xin felt a slight relief.
Because they focused all their attention on the corridor, Xu Xin’s group, which had already stepped out and was about to blend into the "marketplace," was much safer.
Of course, this safety was only temporary.
If they found nothing in the corridor, they might start suspecting that intruders had slipped into the "marketplace."
Therefore, they had to move quickly.
Xu Xin winked at the three women, stopped lingering, and walked toward the marketplace.
He walked very slowly, one step, two steps.
Seeing the surrounding alien invaders had no reaction, he gradually quickened his pace.
Soon, he returned to a normal walking speed.
Still undiscovered.
He didn’t continue to accelerate but, just like that, walked into the bustling "marketplace."
The three women closely followed.
This whole large area was the "marketplace."
Though busy, it wasn’t crowded.
After all, the place was vast, with the number of alien invaders only around a thousand or so.
Despite looking everywhere, their density wasn’t high enough to bump into each other, so Xu Xin and his team were still relatively safe.
At this moment, Xu Xin was already standing in front of a stall run by an alien invader.
On the stall before it were dozens of scattered items, appearing bizarre and strange.
There were unknown metals, peculiar biological specimens, bizarre handmade items, and some tools whose usage was unknown.
Among Xu Xin’s identifying abilities, only the unknown metallic ore emitted a golden glow, clearly a high-quality metal, while the rest didn’t shine at all.
Not understanding whether it was useless or simply unidentifiable.
Magnetically, beyond the stall, sat an alien invader covered entirely in bumps and eyes on the wooden ground.
Actually, whether sitting or standing, alien invaders just looked like a lump, with no discernible body structure.
But the standing alien invaders, like those currently wandering around, were noticeably taller than the ones at the stalls, clearly implying the stall owners were seated.
And this seated stall owner seemed oblivious to Xu Xin and his panions’ arrival, as most of its body’s eyes were closed, with only a few half-open, appearing drowsy.
Time to test what they could do now.
"Ahem..."
Xu Xin suddenly cleared his throat, making a little noise.
This cough scared Li Wenxi beside him terribly, her eyes widened at him, holding his arm, blinking frantically.
He’s doing this right in front of the alien invader!
Only one or two meters away from the alien invader!
Lou Fei’Er and Jin Yue also jumped in fright.
Among the alien invaders, their spirits had remained taut, and yet Xu Xin suddenly made a sound!
Xu Xin squinted, eyeing the alien invader ahead.
[Tired...]
[...No...interest...ing...]
He had now activated his mind-reading ability.
As long as they hadn’t gone through time travel, he could somewhat read their thoughts.
These alien invaders hadn’t experienced time travel, making it somewhat possible to hear some of their thoughts.
