Just as Han Xiao used the King's teleportation skill to finish off the other fleet, another space fissure appeared around him, and the troops that had surrounded him earlier rushed over again, chasing after him relentlessly.
However, this time, before Tedrian and the others could completely descend, Han Xiao changed into another King and disappeared in front of everyone. This time, he teleported to a 'bait' team that had yet to be caught.
When the Subduing Tree King, Tedrian, and the others arrived, all that was left for them was the wreckage of a fleet floating in the universe and the corpse of another Holy Tree Emissary.
"Damn it!"
Tedrian was furious, and the anger of being played rose in his heart.
Even though the World Tree Express was fast enough to provide support in its own territory, it was still a step too late, and the outsider killed another of its companions.
The other Holy Tree Emissaries and Ancestral Spirits also had gloomy expressions.
The High Dimensional Information Vision caught the target. Everyone thought that this outsider had no way to escape, but they did not expect the other party to have such a method, catching them off guard. Although the other party's tracks were still visible, teleporting to another bait team that had yet to be caught made them unable to immediately lock onto Han Xiao's location. They could only track him again.
The three Universal Civilizations knew very little about the World Tree, but it was the same the other way around. The World Tree Civilization knew even less about the explored universe, and this was the first time they had seen the King's teleportation method.
"If that's the case, the other bait traces might turn into the outsider's main body at any time. It's filled with danger, and it's very likely that we'll be killed by the other party …" Roxilian's expression was solemn as if he was facing a great enemy.
When everyone thought of the outsider's strength, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. They could chase after him, but it was hard to say who would be the unlucky one after catching up.
"This outsider must be trying to use this method to nibble away at our troops. As long as we split up and chase after him, there's a risk of being killed instead. However, we can't not chase after him and allow such a powerful individual to move freely in our territory … Speaking of which, what kind of civilization does the other party come from to actually send a Super of this level to take the risk alone? Could it be that this civilization has many high-level combatants of the same level?"
Overman frowned and spoke with an uneasy tone.
When they thought about how the outsiders were not only physically strong, but also had such a highly mobile and invincible method, most of the people present felt a strong sense of fear in their hearts.
Just one person had caused them so much trouble, rampaging in their territory. This was a provocation to the entire World Tree Civilization.
Originally, it was a one-sided hunt. Not only did the outsiders not flee, they even turned around and treated them as prey. No one expected to be passive in their own territory. This was something that had never happened before.
After fighting in the universe for so many years, which enemy civilization did not carefully probe when coming into contact with them? They had never seen such an arrogant fellow.
"… No matter what, we have to solve this problem," Tedrian said in a deep voice. "Wake up those guys who are hiding and have them join the chase!"
For the time being, he could not think of a way to deal with the outsiders' strange teleportation ability. However, since the outsiders' goal was to kill the lone troops, increasing the number of people in each pursuit team would be a useful method to restrain the outsiders and prevent them from causing any damage before their reinforcements arrived.
However, Tedrian was very worried that the outsiders would send out a bunch of bait again. This kind of scheme forced them to split up. Originally, they could have collected high-dimensional information samples to lock onto which path the main body of the outsiders was on, but the other party's teleportation method made it possible for every 'bait' to transform into the main body. This way, there was no way to tell.
With that, Tedrian turned to look at the Subduing Tree King and nodded. "Your Excellency Tree King, what do you think?"
The Subduing Tree King had been listening to everyone's discussion and did not interrupt.
At this time, he slowly said, "Inform me when you guys surround him … Also, I will clear this Star Field later and seal this place. Don't worry about the losses."
With that, the Subduing Tree King turned into a blue-green stream of light and disappeared into the roots of the World Tree.
He had already made a wasted trip this time, and he probably would not be able to deal with the outsiders in a short period of time. He did not want to be played with like everyone else.
Hearing this, Tedrian and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
The planets in the territory of the World Tree Civilization were no longer naturally formed. Instead, they were high-value planets that the World Tree had 'regurgitated' using the Information Form. They could freeze the current evolution at any time, swallow them back, store them in the Information Form, and then transform them into another location.
With such a characteristic, the World Tree was like a mobile base that could take away the entire civilization and change the location of its base in the universe to deal with all kinds of situations. It was almost born for war.
Clearing this Star Field meant that the World Tree would take back all the planets and living beings in this area. This way, they would not have to worry about outsiders causing trouble everywhere.
Only the Tree King was given this level of control by the World Tree and could give such an order to the World Tree. The others did not have the authority to do so.
However, the World Tree could not leave as it pleased. After changing the location of its base, it had to 'take root' in this area from the beginning and turn it into its own information collection. Some abilities could only be used in the merged territory, such as the World Tree Express. It could only travel quickly in its own territory, like a stargate that was everywhere. In other parts of the universe, it could not descend as casually as it did now.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Right at this moment, more spatial rifts opened up, and more troops were summoned by Tedrian and rushed over to provide reinforcements.
Among them were even more high-level Holy Tree Emissaries and the thirteen Ancestral Spirits, who appeared from their slumber. There were also several executive officers who arrived, as well as some high-ranking military generals who were in charge of external battles. The size of the team snowballed.
Although the opponent was only one person, the World Tree had given him extremely high treatment. An army of this size was more than enough to carry out a universal war.
…
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past few days, Han Xiao had been wandering around this Star Field, dealing with the pursuit and interception of the World Tree troops.
He split up the bait team time and time again, using the King to teleport and cut off the pursuers of the World Tree. Sometimes, he would set up a Throne, but sometimes, it was just a Primordial Psionic Energy Bomb. At the same time, he would occasionally use the King's return function to jump around repeatedly. It was extremely agile, causing the World Tree troops to suffer greatly.
The King was simply a weapon for guerrilla warfare. Using this tactic, Han Xiao obtained some results, and the number of Beyond Grade As he killed had reached six.
However, as the World Tree experts gathered, it became more and more difficult to kill the enemy every time they encountered them. Every pursuer was assigned enough experts to restrain them for a while, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Beyond Grade As would appear as reinforcements. With the appearance of peak Beyond Grade As, Han Xiao was forced to reduce the time he had to fight, and he did not dare to fight in one place.
Furthermore, the size of the World Tree's fleet was too large. It surrounded the entire Star Field and kept shrinking the encirclement. Han Xiao's guerrilla warfare range also shrank, and the time it took for each bait team to be caught up was getting shorter and shorter.
At the same time, Han Xiao also realized that the navigation star map had lost its effect. The planets in this area seemed to have disappeared, and he could not locate them accurately.
"Could it be that the World Tree swallowed all the nearby planets? To think that they would use such a large sum to deal with me alone. "
In the empty space of the universe, Han Xiao was flying at full speed by himself, and he was secretly shocked.
This was somewhat out of his expectations. Only the World Tree was extremely rich and did not care about this bit of loss, decisively clearing the field.
After more than ten days of guerrilla warfare, he had already fought with the World Tree experts nearly a hundred times and met a lot of 'acquaintances'. Other than the Tree King, almost all the pursuers had fought with him before.
Although he did not have the chance to kill the enemy later on, Han Xiao had obtained a lot of the attributes of the World Tree experts through the combat information. He had learned about the specific abilities of many of his opponents, which was extremely valuable information.
"My guerrilla warfare area is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, I'll be blocked very soon. Furthermore, I can't devour the enemy's experts now, so there's no need to continue guerrilla warfare …"
Han Xiaoxin's mind flashed.
It was true that the World Tree could not restrain the King's guerrilla tactics, but this was the King's base. It could directly press forward with its army and break through everything.
Although guerrilla warfare was good, its effect quickly reached its limit in the face of the World Tree Civilization's overwhelming advantage in numbers and rapid support system.
"It's time to slip away."
Han Xiao nodded.
Although he did not complete the enclosure this time, the harvest was beyond his expectations. Not only did he obtain a lot of important information, but he also sent a few World Tree experts to the Western Paradise. This was beyond his expectations, and he could already retreat. If he stayed, he would definitely not be able to get away.
However, before retreating, Han Xiao wanted to find an opportunity to meet the Tree King and find out the other party's combat information.
…
"All the bait has been cleared. Only the last high-dimensional information trail is left. The outsider did not continue to split up. We can lock onto his main body now."
In the command room of the main ship, Tedrian looked at the current situation, and his gloomy expression that had been gloomy for more than ten days finally cleared up.
"We've finally surrounded him. This outsider is too difficult to deal with."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. God knew how they had spent the past ten days. An outsider had already disturbed their peace.
The number of World Tree experts participating in the pursuit was much more than ten days ago. There were six high-level Holy Tree Emissaries, seven of the thirteen Ancestral Spirits, and a few military commanders and executives. There were a total of twenty peak Beyond Grade As with an Energy Rank of more than 71,000, which was equivalent to two-fifths of the peak Beyond Grade As in the entire World Tree Civilization.
"Don't be happy too early. Since he has such a teleportation method, there's a high chance that he can escape."
At this moment, a high-ranking general in military uniform said coldly.
Hearing this, everyone felt a little helpless.
They naturally understood this logic, but after studying it for more than ten days, they were still unable to crack the outsider's teleportation method. Their request had already been reduced from killing the outsider to expelling him.
"Let's chase the outsider away first before considering what to do next. This might be the strongest civilization we've ever encountered," Tedrian replied with a frown.
At this moment, everyone's mental network suddenly received a message. The pursuing troops had finally caught up to the outsider's main body and shared the coordinates.
"Let's go!"
Everyone's faces turned cold. They immediately activated the World Tree Express and quickly shuttled through the roots.
Not long after, everyone's vision blurred, and they arrived at their destination.
The outsider floated in the starry sky and did not attack the pursuing troops like before. The pursuing troops were waiting for reinforcements and did not dare to take the initiative to attack. For a moment, there was no movement from either side.
Seeing this, many World Tree experts turned into streams of light and shot out of the fleet, landing around Han Xiao, forming an encirclement. More reinforcements were also arriving.
The number of Beyond Grade As present soon reached a hundred, and they surrounded Han Xiao, eyeing him covetously.
Because all the bait had been cleared this time, the outsider could no longer play with them like before. Only then did Tedrian inform the Subduing Tree King.
Boom!
The next moment, the Subduing Tree King's figure quickly descended, and his pressure swept across the entire place.
"Your Excellency Tree King."
Seeing this, Tedrian and the many World Tree experts greeted him in the mental network.
The Subduing Tree King looked at the situation, nodded, and slowly said, "We've finally surrounded him. Why aren't you attacking?"
"This outsider looks fearless. He will probably use that teleportation method to escape our territory …"
Tedrian explained.
While the two of them were communicating, Han Xiao suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the Subduing Tree King. He then hooked his finger, and energy fluctuations rose steadily, locking onto the Subduing Tree King.
Seeing this action, everyone present understood what the outsider meant. He was provoking their Tree King.
The Subduing Tree King looked at Han Xiao indifferently. He casually raised his hand and waved it down.
"Deal with him."
