The ugly woman didn't know what was going on, but her fear of Lei made her instinctively retreat and she didn't want to have a head-on confrontation.
If it was during her prime, this level of attack would be nothing...
The ugly woman frowned, and deeply understood what it meant that a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken.
But at this moment, the stars that seemed threatening to her were actually not very good.
Because he couldn't control his body's movements well, the threat Xingchen could actually pose was not as great as the ugly woman imagined.
After Lin Fan took a few steps forward with difficulty, he felt that this was not going to work.
In the current situation, the ugly woman was obviously very wary of her and didn't dare to get close to her.
Although she had the ability to control the ugly woman, her mobility was so poor that she even had difficulty walking normally, and she had to drag her gun on the ground.
In the eyes of the ugly woman, Xingchen was sure of his absolute advantage over her, so he deliberately slowed down his movements to create psychological pressure on her.
The slow and heavy footsteps seemed to tread on her heart with every step. Even the noise made by the gun tip dragging on the ground seemed to warn her.
If you think about it this way, it does seem to make sense. Only Lin Fan himself knows that it's all empty talk.
There's no way you're going to chase an ugly girl—she can barely even walk!
And if the confrontation lasts too long and she remains like this without any other action, the ugly woman will also react.
The electricity on her body can indeed intimidate the ugly woman, but when she lacks the ability to move, she is like a human electric pole.
If the ugly woman's hair doesn't get tangled up, she won't be hurt at all.
By the time she discovered this, she would bypass Xingchen to cause trouble for John Woo and the others. Judging from the current situation, there was no way she could stop them.
Lin Fan tried hard to activate her numb head.
Apart from the stars and the clown, the only tree with a presence on the island came into view.
The distance between this tree and the stars is only a few steps, much closer than the ugly woman.
And judging from the scene where John Woo cuts down the tree and the clown goes crazy, it is obvious that he takes it very seriously.
Since I can't catch up with the ugly woman, I might as well continue with my previous idea and destroy the immovable tree.
After all, the tree is dead and won't move around. It can also distract the ugly woman so that she can't take care of other people...
The ugly woman became anxious when she noticed the stars had changed direction. "What do you want to do?"
Lin Fan ignored her, mobilized all his strength, and rushed towards the tree step by step with a little speed.
The ugly woman followed a few steps closely, waving her hair to try to stop Xingchen, but was still knocked back by the powerful electric current.
In desperation, he changed his strategy and wrapped the tree trunk with his hair.
But this is obviously futile.
Lin Fan put one hand on the tree trunk that wrapped her hair, and the ugly woman screamed "Ah!" and had no choice but to retreat.
"Tell me...what do I want to do?" Lin Fan simply leaned his back against the tree and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm so tired! It's nice to have something to lean on.
Xingchen leaned against it so casually that the trunk of the tree shook violently under her pressure, and the green leaves on the treetop fell down one after another.
That’s not all. Her hard shell directly scratched countless deep and shallow cuts on the tree, and the white trunk under the bark was visible.
The ugly woman was so distressed that her hands and feet were trembling.
"You..." The ugly woman's lips trembled, and she put down her hand pointing at the stars helplessly.
She didn't dare let Xingchen let go of the tree and come at her, but she also felt heartbroken that she had hurt the tree.
When Lin Fan saw the clown's dejected look amidst the flying fluorescent leaves, he knew that this plan was correct.
Others use the emperor to control the princes, but she uses the tree to control the ugly woman...
But whatever, as long as it works.
While Lin Fan felt at ease, he also felt a little curious about this strange tree.
What is so different about this tree that makes the ugly woman care so much about it?
Before, the three of them had plucked out so much of her hair, and she didn't seem to care much. But when Wu Yusen cut a barely visible cut, she went berserk...
"Can you please talk nicely?" Lin Fan leaned his spear against the tree, and as expected, the tip of the spear pierced another piece.
The ugly woman was in pain and resentful, but she had no choice but to accept defeat.
It’s good to be able to talk.
Lin Fan felt no less helpless than the ugly woman.
If an experienced person came, he would definitely see that she was stalling for time. Fortunately, she met an ugly woman.
People in ancient times were probably less sophisticated and straightforward in their actions. They would never have suspected that the person before them was just bluffing.
This also gave Lin Fan a chance to catch his breath.
She discovered that for some unknown reason, her body, which had been difficult to control just a moment ago, suddenly began to regain control. It wasn't fast, but it was definitely increasing.
This is really a pleasant surprise.
It seemed like he'd have to buy himself a little longer. Lin Fan chuckled and asked his first question. "What's so special about this tree that you care so much about it?"
After asking, I felt something was wrong. If this tree was closely related to the ugly woman, would she reveal her weakness to me?
Lin Fan slapped himself in his heart, he was still stupid!
Unexpectedly, the ugly woman answered directly. "This is the World Tree, the origin of the entire world. We must care about it."
Lin Fan was stunned. Seeing her serious expression, he didn't think she was talking nonsense.
The World Tree? It sounded impressive. Lin Fan quietly reduced his weight on the tree, feeling strangely awed.
"What is the World Tree... used for?" Lin Fan asked seriously.
"The World Tree records history, stores and transmits energy, and balances the world's development." The ugly woman looked at her accusingly, "You know, once the World Tree is destroyed, the outside world will inevitably be affected. You still want to cut it down? How audacious!"
"Don't lie to me. When we came in, the tree was just a dead branch." Lin Fan sneered in disbelief. "According to you, the tree in this balanced world has been dead for so many years, and nothing has happened outside."
"You've been lying there for thousands of years, so you probably don't realize it. We're living a wonderful life outside, with singing and dancing, and bright lights and revelry..." Thinking that this word might not be appropriate here, he quickly changed the subject. "People live and work in peace and contentment. We have airplanes that can fly, submarines that can dive to the bottom of the sea, and rockets that can be launched into space... Even without your World Tree, this world is still wonderful."
The ugly woman listened quietly with a sneer on her face.
"Airplanes? Submarines? I've never seen one, but I can imagine it. Have you evolved to this point over thousands of years?"
"Can you imagine?" Lin Fan was stunned. "Are you sure you know what I'm talking about? An airplane is a large metal box that uses mechanical propulsion to fly through the sky. It can hold people and is a very convenient means of transportation."
After hearing her explanation, the ugly woman's expression became even more disdainful. Even though she was afraid of Xingchen, she still rolled her eyes.
"Fool! When we were traveling across the stars on shuttles, your ancestors were still playing in the mud!"
Ah! Is this sci-fi? Big sci-fi! The origin of the world, wow, copied from the old, this setting, I miss it so much.
Just finished coding this morning and posted it this afternoon. Fresh out of the oven, I’m already exhausted (⊙o⊙)…
