Chapter 1227
A stick insect monster that looked about the same as Gampasa but was a size larger ran over, poked its head out, and looked behind Gampasa, without any sense of boundaries at all.
Gampasa moved its position to cover Ang and the others behind it, and said awkwardly: "Nothing, nothing at all."
Ang had just thrown the bug egg into the pit. Hiding now would waste the chaos mist. Everyone simply made combat preparations. Anthony even flew up directly to try to see if he could bluff the other party.
"Eh, a secondary descendant? Just a secondary descendant, what are you hiding, little Papa?" the large stick insect said.
Anthony's heart moved, and he immediately took up the conversation: "Heh, it's mainly because we just arrived here and don't know the situation, so we don't want to encounter too many unexpected things. Are you Gampasa's companion?"
"Gampasa? Little Papa? Did you name it? It sounds quite nice. It is my child," the larger stick insect said.
"Pfft, you are its father?" Anthony asked in surprise.
"Father? Your choice of words is so strange, like those creatures. Did you come from outside? We don't have genders. I am its creator," the large stick insect said.
Anthony curled his lips. This is why he wanted to pull Gampasa along, because they were too easily exposed here. They weren't familiar with the situation at all, and a few sentences of conversation could expose their identities.
"Yes, we just returned from outside and came into contact with some humans, learning many of their behavioral terms," Anthony explained, while quietly gesturing to Lu Se to be ready to subdue it at any time.
"Oh, you also returned from outside. You also returned to inquire about the situation because of the Star God abnormality, right?" the large stick insect said.
Also? Anthony's heart moved, and he hurriedly made a 'pause' gesture, then asked: "Have many secondary descendants returned?"
"Many, many secondary descendants have returned. They thought the Star God was going to explode, so they hurried back to inquire about the news. Since you can name things, help me name one too," the large stick insect said.
"Why do you want a name? Didn't you have a name before? What is it called?" Anthony asked.
"I am called Big Papa, but there are too many called Big Papa. It doesn't sound good. Gampasa sounds much better. I also want a unique name," the large stick insect said.
This is quite reasonable. Star God descendants don't need names because they can recognize each other through their auras. Every Star God descendant's aura is like a magic pattern, unique. But when communicating and talking, you can't call the other party's magic pattern, right?
Originally, Star God descendants should be like undead creatures, communicating directly through souls or thoughts. But for some reason, whether it's on the side of the Lord of Star Descendants or here with Gampasa, they all like to communicate using language.
When communicating with language, names are very important. They cannot be repeated or similar, otherwise, it will be confusing, and it won't sound good.
"Then let's call you Dagonsas. How about it? It sounds nice," Anthony gave it a name at random.
"Dagonsas? It sounds nice. Let's call it that. Call me Dagonsas from now on, little Papa." Dagonsas said very happily.
Gampasa said unhappily: "Call me Gampasa, otherwise I will call you Big Papa."
"Alright, alright, Dagonsas, what are you doing here? How did you come here? Why didn't you bring your child with you?" To prevent them from continuing to argue about names, Anthony hurriedly changed the subject.
Dagonsas said: "I was caught and brought here. The Star Descendant who caught me put a brand on me and threw me here, saying that when a buyer is found, they will come to call me."
"..." Caught and brought here? And branded and prepared to be sold? Could it be that it is a slave now?
Anthony suddenly had a bad premonition: "What kind of place is this? Is it a place specifically used to sell you?"
"Yes, little Papa... Gampasa, did you bring it here to be sold? I see it also has a brand on it," Dagonsas asked curiously. That tone didn't have half the appearance of a slave for sale!
Anthony felt like vomiting blood. After chatting for a long time, it finally said it was a slave, and this is a slave market. How does it look like a slave?
And 'secondary' descendant, shouldn't it be one level lower than a Star God descendant? Why does it think he brought Gampasa here to be sold?
"Because secondary descendants all have masters. In the master's heart, whoever has a higher status is listened to. I don't think little... Gampasa's status can be higher than yours. It is so stupid," Dagonsas said as a matter of course.
So that's it. How could it not know what kind of goods its own child is? Only it gets sold by others; how could it sell others?
"Generally, who would buy you? What do they buy you for?" Anthony asked curiously.
Dagonsas thought for a while and said: "Maybe they will buy me to eat."
"Pfft—eat?" Nigris spat out a mouthful of old blood. It wasn't shocked that Dagonsas would be eaten; it was shocked by the other party's tone. You are about to be eaten, why are you still so calm?
"Yes, we are so weak and don't have any special skills. Besides being eaten, no one else would buy me, right?" Dagonsas said as a matter of course.
"Can't you run?" Nigris asked.
Dagonsas said: "Can't run. I have a brand on me and will be found. And my child is so poor, besides being eaten, what else can it be used for?"
It took Nigris a long while to understand what Dagonsas's thought process was. Gampasa fed its child very carefully, hoping that its child could upgrade and evolve, and then take it to upgrade.
But Dagonsas's child has already taken shape and cannot evolve anymore, so naturally, it cannot take it to upgrade. So besides being eaten, there is no other hope.
But the problem is, you say you are going to be eaten in such a calm tone. Is this reasonable?
Nigris still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Anthony. Anthony put on a familiar smile and said: "Gampasa, show your level."
Gampasa had been waiting for this moment. Showing its strength, it floated up directly. It is now a stick insect with flight ability.
Dagonsas sat down on the ground with a thud. Is this still its child? How did it become so strong?
Scared? As long as it's scared, the more shocked the heart is, the easier it is to accept conditions that were originally impossible to accept.
This habit of lowering the other party's psychological expectations before negotiating had long since become Anthony's instinct. Although he had realized that the thought processes of these Star God descendants were not quite the same as theirs, he still did it habitually.
However, just at this moment, a small figure ran over quickly, saying as it ran: "Eh, a flying Star Descendant? Is it also a slave? Hello, is this Star Descendant of yours for sale?"
Everyone turned their eyes to that small figure. After seeing its appearance clearly, they all showed a shocked expression in unison. That figure was actually a goblin?
Even more ridiculous is that the goblin's clothes actually had a Silver Light Chamber of Commerce badge embroidered on them. Silver Coin, oh Silver Coin, how did your business reach here?
