Chapter 1273

When Anthony discovered that the other party was an opponent of the same type, he immediately became alert and then quickly transformed into an old swindler.

With a single sentence, he hooked the other party's appetite: I have clues about the Tree God's bounty, but you don't have the Tree God's reward...

"Hehe, I don't think much of your stardust or whatever. The Tree God wouldn't take out such shabby things as a reward. You are losing face for the Tree God," Anthony said unceremoniously.

"You..." Olite was a little angry. Being called shabby and being told it was losing face for the Tree God was too much. However, the more unceremonious Anthony was, the less it dared to underestimate him.

After sizing up Anthony and then looking at Lightning and Lu Se beside him, Olite thought for a moment and said, "You don't think much of stardust, then what about star crystals... white crystals? Do you want white crystals?"

"White crystals? White crystals are good things, but you only have one, what's the use? If I casually find a few Starborn to kill, I can also pick up a few," Anthony said carelessly, his tone very arrogant.

Olite looked at Anthony seriously for a long time before asking slowly, "How many do you want?"

"At least eighty or a hundred," Anthony said.

"What did you say? How many? Do you think they are tree dregs, eighty or a hundred? Why do you want so many white crystals?" Olite asked.

"To upgrade the Starborn in our society. Many Starborn in our society cannot perform Star Shift. I want white crystals that can perform Star Shift to upgrade them all. Can all your white crystals perform Star Shift? Where did they come from?" Anthony said.

Olite was between laughter and tears: "It seems you have no sincerity for trading at all. Forget it, you guys go."

"It seems you don't have eighty or a hundred white crystals. Forget it, goodbye." Anthony jumped backward, rode onto Lightning's back, and then sent a soul message: "Go, go outside. When I tell you to etherealize, etherealize and hang onto me immediately."

Originally, Lightning was still a bit confused because Anthony's performance was not like his usual self. He came over and scolded the other party directly, and his tone was not very good, not at all like that kind old swindler.

However, upon hearing the last sentence, Lightning and Lu Se immediately realized that Anthony was doing it on purpose. They responded calmly and quickened their pace.

The terrain on the leaf is very complex. The veins on the leaf crisscross, just like huge mountain ranges. Between the mountain ranges, there are huge gullies. From a distance, it looks very flat, but being in it, one feels it is intricate.

Entering a gully, until Olite and the enemies hidden in the dark could no longer see them directly, Anthony immediately said, "Etherealize."

Lightning and Lu Se immediately etherealized and hung onto Anthony's body, and with a 'whoosh', they all disappeared.

When they appeared again, they had already soul-shifted into another gully nearby.

"Wow, Star Shift? Lord Anthony, did you trade for white crystals?" Lightning asked in shock.

Just now, when Anthony asked them to etherealize, Lightning had vaguely guessed it, but after it was confirmed, he was still very shocked. This kind of ability is too practical. He, the dignified Lightning, just because he didn't have the Star Shift ability, couldn't outrun the little angels, which was too shameful.

Anthony responded: "It's not Star Shift, it's Soul Shift. I'll teach you later." After saying that, he made a gesture to be quiet.

Not long after, Olite's voice suddenly sounded: "Gone? Where did they run to? Can't you see them?"

"Didn't see them. I've been staring at them. They didn't come out after entering this gully, but there is nothing in this gully, not even a place to hide things," another strange voice responded.

"Could it be that they Star-Shifted away?" the second strange voice guessed.

"Impossible, they don't have the ability to Star Shift. They are all low-rank Starborn. I don't know where they learned some moves and skills, but it's impossible to learn Star Shift. That's not something that can be learned. Search, they must be hiding nearby. Even if you have to turn the ground over, you must find them," Olite said.

The first strange voice complained: "You should have caught them just now, so you wouldn't have to search again now."

Olite said: "I asked you to track them to find their nest. Where would I go to find their nest if I caught them? Idiot."

While arguing, their movements were not slow. They had already begun to search all the gullies, push away all the star soil, and lift all the debris, searching meticulously. And listening to the movement, there were definitely more than three Starborn.

Feeling the movement moving toward their position, Anthony signaled Lightning and Lu Se to etherealize, and then with a 'whoosh', they Soul-Shifted away again.

After several Soul Shifts, Anthony suddenly discovered two advantages of Soul Shift compared to Star Shift: small movement and the ability to turn corners.

How small is the movement? Small enough that even when the other party is about to step on them, the other party cannot perceive the fluctuations generated by the Soul Shift at this moment.

Secondly, it can turn corners. Star Shift cannot turn corners and can only move in a straight line in one direction. If there is an obstacle in the middle, it will be interrupted.

However, Soul Shift only requires the place where your soul extends. Whether it is a closed space or blocked by obstacles, as long as the soul can penetrate, you can Soul-Shift there.

This is simply the most suitable spatial displacement skill for a Black Knight, god-knows-how-it-happened and ghost-knows-how-it-happened. Anthony Soul-Shifted back to the place where they met Olite three times and drilled into a gully.

After hiding safely, Anthony asked curiously: "Just now Olite said you learned some moves and skills. How did it know? Have you fought before?"

Lu Se said: "Fought once, almost chopped off one of its subordinates."

"What rank are its subordinates?" Anthony asked.

"About the same as it. The technical and combat level of these Starborn is too poor. If it weren't for my lack of strength, slow movement speed, and inability to accurately find their white crystal positions, I would have killed one with one sword," Lu Se said confidently.

In the eyes of a genius Sword Saint like him, these Starborn are purely relying on their large size to rampage. But large size is also an advantage. The final result is that he can't do anything to the other party, and the other party can't do anything to him.

But also because of this, it deterred Olite, thinking that Lu Se had a great force behind him, so it didn't dare to use force immediately.

This cognition is not wrong. Lu Se and Lightning do have a great force behind them. If they used force and provoked Ang, it would be finished.

The next situation doesn't need to be asked. Naturally, they couldn't find Anthony and the others everywhere. Olite had to return depressed. After staying for a long time, it left the nest alone and walked toward the direction of the tree trunk.

From the petiole to the branches and then to the trunk, the whole way was simply crossing mountains and rivers. After arriving at the trunk, the gullies of the bark were simply like huge ocean trenches, any one of which was dozens of kilometers deep. The huge Starborn would disappear as soon as they drilled in.

Anthony followed from a distance and almost lost them several times. Finally, Olite stopped at a position on the trunk, stretched out its claws to dig into the bark, and dug out a white crystal.

Anthony reported to Ang in shock: "My lord, these white crystals are formed on the World Tree. This is the third way to form white crystals."
