Chapter 1263

Unfortunately, this is a consciousness space. Any attack by the Guman Snake is meaningless. Ang waved his hand to eliminate it, then reached out and grabbed it. The Guman Snake, which had manifested as the World Tree, was immediately squeezed into a ball.

After kneading it a few times, the Guman Snake realized its situation and quieted down.

Only then did Anthony manifest his form, floated up, and said: "Hello, Guman Snake, nice to meet you. You can call me Anthony."

The Guman Snake trembled all over: "It's you! Why... why call me Guman Snake? Who is Guman Snake? I am Nagusta, not Guman Snake."

Although it hadn't met Anthony, this tone was too familiar. One listen and it knew it was the consciousness that had contacted it before.

"Hehe, you are an ancient vine, parasitizing the World Tree, named Guman Vine, also known as Guman Snake. We know all of this, no need to quibble anymore." Anthony exposed its lie without hesitation.

The Guman Snake silently examined Anthony for a long while, and suddenly its form changed, changing back to the appearance of the original snake-shaped vine: "Who told you these?"

"The World Tree, the real Nagusta." Anthony said.

"Impossible, I am the real Nagusta, I am the World Tree, the World Tree is me." The Guman Snake refuted without hesitation.

"Uh, you're not interesting like this. Do you still want to leave here? Be open and honest, let's have a good chat. After we chat, we can let you go." Anthony said.

The Guman Snake sneered: "You will let me go? Do you think I have no IQ?"

"We will, because we are not necessarily enemies. We don't have any fundamental conflicts. You want to snatch the Star of Azure, and we also want to snatch the Star of Azure. We can count as 'snatching' friends, right? And we might even have a common enemy. Do you know Gomezburg? Have its people already arrived on the star?" Anthony said.

"What? Gomezburg's people are already on the star? Where?" The Guman Snake asked in shock.

"Between the roots of the World Tree and the sea of fire. There are two of them. They renamed themselves using the name Gomezburg. One is called Geburg, one is called Meburg, and there might be one called Zburg, but its existence hasn't been discovered yet." Anthony said while manifesting the appearance of Geburg and Meburg.

This kind of information, which even includes the form and name, has to be said to be very credible. The Guman Snake pondered for a long while and asked: "What do you want?"

"Information, information, all the information. For example, your origin? When did you parasitize the World Tree? What special abilities do you have? How do you reproduce? Do you have seeds? Why did you snatch the Star of Azure?" Anthony asked a pile of questions.

In the soul network, Negris said with some dissatisfaction in a low voice: "You don't really want to let it go, do you? What about the little tree man? We still need to use it to exchange for half of half of the star's power. You ask so carefully, are you really going to let it go?"

Anthony replied in the soul network: "Whether to let it go or not is unknown for now. I'm just verifying some things. Lord, are there any changes on the World Tree side?"

Ang projected over to take a look and said: "No."

"What do you want to verify?" Negris asked in bewilderment.

"Verify whether the Abyss Bridge has any effect on it. The Star of Azure has a way to dodge the Abyss Bridge, how do you know the Guman Snake doesn't? And..." Anthony stopped here.

"And what?" Negris said dissatisfiedly. It hates these guys who say half and leave half the most, hanging people's appetites, making a dragon anxious to death.

"And, is there only one Guman Snake? Most vines parasitize, and there are many vines on a big tree. We caught its consciousness now, but there are no changes on the World Tree side. What does this explain? It explains that its consciousness disconnection will not have any impact on the parasitic part of the World Tree." Anthony explained.

Negris was suddenly anxious: "Then you still told it a pile of things? You even told it about Geburg and Meburg. What if it passes the news back?"

"Hehe, isn't that just right? When we deal with Meburg and Geburg, we have one more helper." Anthony laughed.

Negris was stunned. Thinking back, it really was. Although Anthony said a lot and sounded very honest, everything he said was irrelevant, and he didn't reveal any key information at all, such as the information about the little fire man and the little tree man.

"So you planned it all? Then what if it can't pass the information out, or if it's the only one? Then didn't you arrange it in vain?" Negris said.

"Uh, isn't this very normal? Any plan must make several times the arrangements, and there are various contingency plans to ensure that no matter how things change, it can be favorable to us. Many arrangements are originally to prevent just in case. It's better if they are wasted, which means our main goal is likely achieved."

Speaking of this, Anthony couldn't help but complain: "What I find most annoying now is not that many arrangements will be wasted, but that many times the targets don't follow the routine at all. Originally, they could be tempted by money, beauty, power, and status, and threatened by death and whipping, etc. But now, none of the types we encounter are the same. Either they don't like money, or they are not afraid of death. I still have to judge on the spot what they are afraid of. This is the most troublesome thing."

"That's true, uh... what is it doing?" Before Negris finished speaking, it saw the Guman Snake curl itself into a ball, extend its roots, and firmly wrap its entire form, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter, and finally strangled itself into a pile of flying ash, dissipating in the consciousness space.

"... What's the situation? What is it doing?" Negris asked in disbelief.

"... Committed suicide?" Anthony also couldn't react.

Just said that the current targets don't follow the routine, and immediately encountered one that committed suicide? This is too unconventional, right? You, a dignified parasitic vine that parasitizes the World Tree, actually committed suicide?

"Did it not answer a single question of yours?" Negris suddenly thought.

Ang said: "Dissipated, it, information, passed out, a little bit."

On the World Tree, at the overlap on the trunk, a bulge suddenly ruptured, and a smaller snake-shaped tree vine drilled out.

Hearing the movement, the old tree vine that was patrolling the surroundings hung down and asked in surprise: "What happened? Why did you mutate?"

The small tree vine also said with doubt: "It seems to have died, so I mutated."

"What? It died? How did it die? Was it beaten to death by the Star of Azure? Or was it beaten to death by King Empress Feilie?" The old tree vine asked in shock.

The small tree vine said: "I don't know. It only sent back very little information. Abyss Bridge, Anthony, Gomezburg, and what Geburg and Meburg. It seems to be in a very closed environment, even the twin induction is restricted."

The old tree vine was shocked again: "Twin induction is restricted? Impossible? Even if separated by the distance of several worlds, twin induction can be sensed. How could it be restricted?"

The small tree vine said: "It's not distance, I can't explain it clearly either. It used the way of consciousness explosion to send this information back. I need to go and verify the correctness of the information first."

The small tree vine drilled out of the trunk and drilled down toward the roots of the World Tree. The old tree vine also hurriedly followed.

After they all left, a bug quietly drilled out from a crack in the bark somewhere. The bug's body size was only the size of a fist. In this giant world, it was as inconspicuous as dust. The kind of bulge that the small tree vine drilled out of just now was millions of times larger than it.

Just such a tiny bug crawled to the ruptured bulge and licked the juice remaining when the bulge ruptured. After licking its fill, the bug spat a bit of saliva at the bulge, made a mark, then turned around to find another bulge, gnawed at the shell with all its might, and then drilled in.
