Chapter 1275

~8 min read 1,443 words

This kind of strength is not inferior to even the Guman Snake. Where did this old vine pop out from?

Everyone couldn't help but lighten their movements, picked up the white crystals, and retreated to a higher position. This old vine stretched up from below, so it's better to stay further away.

Don't look at the Boundless Great Hollow, Ang just beat a Guman Snake to death, but that was not relying on his own strength, but the power of the Cang God Star. Before Ang's main body arrived, he always had a gap in energy level with these top-level existences.

Dealing with the Cang God Star, one can bully it for being old and weak, and use Fallen Power to grind it slowly. However, one can't grind slowly every time one encounters an enemy, right? The Guman Snake has no weaknesses that can consume it.

Therefore, only after subduing the Cang God Star can one deal with the Guman Snake. If it were the other way around, Ang would be difficult to deal with the other party for the time being. After all, the energy level difference is too far.

There is no Cang God Star here. This old vine looks even more difficult to deal with than the Guman Snake, so be careful.

Anthony and the others carefully condensed their forms, looked at the shattered Olite white crystals, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, I haven't asked it how it discovered the white crystals, and it's dead."

Ang tilted his head, reached out and grabbed a few times in the surroundings, then held his palm upward, and a soul fire rose from his palm.

"Uh, do Starborn have souls?" Negris looked at the soul fire in shock and asked in bewilderment.

Ang shook his head, held the soul fire with his palm, and continued to grab into the surroundings with his other hand.

Negris said: "No soul, so this soul fire was condensed by you? Then what are you grabbing now?"

"Consciousness fragments," Ang responded.

"You collected its consciousness fragments into the soul fire, then can you find a white crystal and re-inject it?" Negris asked.

Ang nodded, collected the consciousness fragments almost enough, then directly picked up a complete white crystal that Olite had dug before, and guided his consciousness into it.

A small phantom emerged from the white crystal, slowly condensing Olite's form, which was hundreds of times smaller. Ang could save its consciousness, but he couldn't save its strength.

Olite looked at Ang and the others in the surroundings in bewilderment, then looked at his own form, and it took a long time to recall what happened: "I... I wasn't beaten to death by the Guardian Vine? Why... what, what did you do to me?"

Anthony said: "We saved you. Guardian Vine? Who is the Guardian Vine? We didn't see it. We only saw your shattered white crystals and the shattered consciousness fragments in the surroundings, so we saved you. What did you do? Why did the Guardian Vine want to kill you?"

Anthony's words were half true and half false. As soon as he heard it, he knew he started setting a trap, and the others immediately cooperated and didn't speak.

"You... you didn't see the Guardian Vine? The Guardian Vine is the guard protecting the Tree God. Didn't you see it?" Olite was even more bewildered.

Anthony still shook his head: "Didn't see it, only saw your consciousness fragments and white crystals. For no reason, why would the Tree God's guard kill you? What did you do?"

Olite looked him up and down and said depressedly: "Aren't you tracking me here? Don't you know what I did?"

Anthony suddenly laughed. From the moment he first saw this Olite, Anthony felt that it was not like an ordinary Starborn. Its use of rhetoric was very proficient. Now that he tried it, it was indeed true, and its IQ was very high.

Anthony actually prefers to deal with smart people. If the opponent is too stupid and doesn't understand any rhetoric, that would be too boring.

"Of course I know, you are digging white crystals. Could it be that you want to dig eighty or a hundred white crystals and trade with us for the clues to the Tree God's bounty?" Anthony asked.

Olite sized Anthony up deeply and asked curiously: "I'm more curious, what do you want so many white crystals for? These white crystals have no value. You can get them by casually finding a few Starborn and slaughtering them. Usually, no one wants them, but you want eighty or a hundred. I'm very curious what you want so many for?"

Negris said in the soul network: "It seems no one wants them. After that old vine beat it to death, it didn't pick up those white crystals either. If white crystals have value, it's impossible not to pick them up even if they fall on the ground, right?"

They had discussed this issue before, and now it was confirmed again from Olite and the old vine.

"Used for upgrading, didn't I say that? We need white crystals that can perform Star Shift," Anthony said.

Olite sized Anthony up again and said: "You are actually not real Starborn, right?"

Anthony's heart moved, but he asked calmly: "Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because real Starborn would know that as long as they receive the blessing of the God Star, they can awaken the Star Shift ability," Olite said slowly.

"Impossible," Anthony immediately refuted: "I have asked so many Starborn, no one has ever said that the Star Shift ability can be awakened through the blessing of the God Star."

Olite said: "The Starborn you asked are all low-level, right? Only when they grow to a certain degree will they perceive the blessing of the God Star and naturally awaken the Star Shift ability."

Anthony couldn't help laughing. If it were someone else, it would be easy to be bluffed by these words because there is no way to verify whether it is true or false. What is called 'growing to a certain degree'?

Is it certain to perceive the blessing of the God Star? If it cannot be perceived, does it mean that it has not grown to a 'certain' degree?

This verification process is too long and too cumbersome, which is a typical rhetoric used to delay time.

It's a pity that it encountered Ang. Ang now has the Cang God Star under his command and also knows the little fire people and little tree people. Whether there is such a blessing, one question will know.

What makes Anthony curious is why it wants to delay time. Does it have any other backhands?

"Do you want to delay time? Don't lie to me. I forgot to tell you one thing: your white crystal has already been engraved with my master's mark. You are now my master's descendant clan," Anthony said with a smile.

Olite was stunned for a moment, hurriedly checked its white crystal, and then was struck by lightning: "You... what did you do to me? You engraved a mark on the white crystal? How is it possible? How did you do it?"

"What how did I do it? My master saved you, and the white crystal was also bestowed upon you by him, so naturally it carries his mark. If you don't want it, just destroy the white crystal yourself," Anthony said.

Olite was sluggish for a while and had to accept this fact.

As for destroying the white crystal to commit suicide, that is impossible. This is not the short lifespan of a human being of only a few decades, where one can just not live if one doesn't want to.

The lifespan of Starborn is very long, often tens of millions of years. In such a long time, even the undead creatures known as eternal might have their bones turned into fossils.

Things like being fearless of death and sacrificing heroically are very rare among long-lived species.

"You have already engraved the mark, why do you still test me? But I didn't lie to you. Starborn who grow to a certain degree and receive the blessing of the God Star can really awaken the Star Shift ability. It's a pity that you don't know the God Star, otherwise, find it to bless you and you will know," Olite said depressedly.

"Really can?" Anthony looked at Olite suspiciously. Seeing its expression didn't look like lying, he thought for a moment and said: "How do you know I don't know the God Star? How to bless, you say it."
