Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1150 - 614: Desert - The Human Who Can Have Their Thoughts Read_2

Just as she finished speaking, her words immediately came true.

Those small holes suddenly erupted with the insects that came from the tree crevices!

Lou Fei’Er suddenly stood up from the ground and took two steps back: "So many!"

At this moment, Jin Yue immediately poured a bottle of water into those countless excavated small holes.

Instantly, the entrances were flooded.

Those insects, having likely never seen so much water for generations, struggled twice on the wet sand and stones before going still.

No more insects came out.

"Draw here!" Shi Wanyun seized the opportunity, "Pour more water, the sunlight here is blocked, water won’t evaporate quickly, it’s perfect to make the sand and stones more solid!"

Like playing with sand at the seaside, the three women poured water over the loose sand and the solid nest.

"You have to succeed! Otherwise, we’re wasting the Source of Life!" Lou Fei’Er stomped the moist sand firmly.

"I’ll do my best."

Without further ado, Shi Wanyun began drawing the Teleportation Array Pattern on the watered and flattened ground.

"It can be drawn!"

"Great!"

Soon, the Teleportation Array Pattern was completed.

Shi Wanyun immediately reached out to touch the Teleportation Array Pattern, and then a red glow slowly lit up.

Then, she was slightly startled: "This is..."

"It’s successful!" Lou Fei’Er immediately grabbed Shi Wanyun’s arm, "Quick, let’s go, don’t let those insects crawl out!"

On the other side, Jin Yue also grabbed her other arm, just waiting for her to activate the teleportation.

"But...okay." Shi Wanyun nodded.

Immediately, a purple-black vortex appeared.

"Goodbye forever, desert!"

Then the three of them disappeared from the spot.

Half an hour later, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, lifting dust into the sky.

The pit they dug was instantly filled, burying even the spiral plants.

Then, the continuous sandstorm once again lifted the sand, and those bizarre, twisted plants appeared and vanished again.

The sandstorm continued unabated.

The entire desert was shrouded by the sandstorm, with no end in sight.

If the three women knew such an event occurred right after they left, they would certainly feel very fortunate about their decision.

...

Elsewhere, Xu Xin and Xu Ying, unable to temporarily know Shi Wanyun and the others’ situation, decided to focus on this unconscious man.

This man was likely the culprit behind the disappearance of the three women.

To find out where Shi Wanyun and the others went, they just needed to ask him.

To save time, they immediately returned to the world of accelerated time, not to the survivors’ dwelling, but entered through another thick root, to a different location.

After all, since this person’s condition was unknown, it wouldn’t be good if he woke up and injured the people around.

Though they were already inside the World Tree, leaving him no escape, for safety, they still tied him up.

Not knowing if an ordinary rope would be effective on him.

"Hmm...how do we wake him?" Xu Ying pondered, "Should we just kick him awake?"

Saying this, she lifted her foot, intending to kick.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing the man with a deathly pale face lying on the barren ground, Xu Xin suddenly remembered something.

Could he read this guy’s thoughts?

Earlier, when the guy was teleported over, he only stayed under the treehouse for a few seconds before entering it.

Back then, he hadn’t had time, nor thought to activate his mind-reading ability, so he didn’t know if he could read the guy’s thoughts.

But now...

He immediately activated his mind-reading ability.

[So... so painful...]

[So scary...]

[I’m...going to die...]

The first thoughts that came through made Xu Xin’s eyes widen instantly.

"I can hear this guy’s thoughts!" Xu Xin exclaimed, "This person is... a native of this world?"

"Hearing thoughts?!" Xu Ying was also shocked, "Isn’t he still sleeping?"

"He’s only sleeping, not with his brain shut down."

"Then..."

The two of them accelerated their thinking.

Why could they hear his thoughts?

But for now, it wasn’t important!

"What can you hear?" Xu Ying immediately asked.

"Muffled voices. So painful, going to die, things like that."

Xu Xin continued listening.

Also words like [So dark] [Torn by time and space], quite fragmented.

This person was probably having a nightmare.

"Anyway, let’s wake him up!" Xu Ying said and was about to kick.

"Don’t be so violent." Xu Xin stopped her action, then took out a stored bottle of ice water and poured it over the man’s head with a splash.

"Hiss—" The man shivered all over, then his eyes snapped open, and like he had a spring on his back, he sat up straight.

[So cold! So cold!]

The man’s thoughts echoed in Xu Xin’s mind.

Reading a human’s thoughts for the first time, Xu Xin found it quite intriguing.

Although the thoughts of those advanced mutant creatures and giant beasts had been quite fluent, almost like humans’, reading human thoughts was still somewhat stimulating.

The man’s hair was drenched by the ice water, clinging to his scalp, his eyes dazedly gazing forward, then slowly lifting his head to look at the two people standing in front of him.
