Chapter 1338

In the sixth mist zone of the Silent Dead Sea, the Strange Tree withdrew its consciousness and then stood there in a daze. Of course, this was only on the surface; from the stars flickering in disorder within the black crystal on its back, it could be seen that its heart was not as calm as it appeared: What exactly have I provoked?

At this moment, the Strange Tree was filled with immense regret.

Actually, Anthony guessed everything wrong. It didn't care much about the Dragon God; after all, the Dragon of Time and Space had disappeared for millions of years. These remaining Dragon-men were like mists without support; if they scattered, they scattered—no one would care.

It also wasn't very afraid of the King of Empress Feilie and the Undead Monarch, because no matter how powerful the Lord of Stars was, it was useless if he couldn't find its main body. In these hundreds of thousands of years, it wasn't the first time the King of Empress Feilie had tried to finish it off, but all attempts had been in vain.

What it feared most, actually, was Ang—this guy who countered it in every way, giving the Strange Tree a feeling of soul-numbing helplessness.

When Ang saw it, he thought of a stitched-together monster, which was precisely the ability the Strange Tree relied upon. It possessed the advantages of animals, plants, and undead creatures, yet it discovered that its advantages in these areas had no advantage at all in front of Ang!

At the Ancestral Tomb, Ang easily broke its plant advantage and cleared away all its root systems. Originally, it only needed a tiny bit of residue to hide in place and wait for the enemy to leave before sprouting again, just like a forest after a wildfire.

Unfortunately, this advantage was countered by Ang. Every single root was thoroughly cleared, causing it to completely lose the Ancestral Tomb as a point of divine light.

The Ancestral Tomb was not an ordinary point; it was a location that could receive divine light irradiation at close range.

Both the anchor point and the Silent Dead Sea were too far from the Divine Star. The Divine Star was the source of all things; without divine light irradiation, no matter how great its plant advantage was, it could not grow.

Not to mention plants; Dragon-men would also lose scales if they didn't bask in the sun for a long time. The loss of the divine light point caused it heavy losses.

But this wasn't what gave it the biggest headache. There could be many divine light points. That King of Empress Feilie had already abandoned the place he originally used to raise goblins; it could just quietly occupy it when the time came.

What gave it the biggest headache was that Ang could actually sense danger, as if he had precognitive abilities, running away before it could even activate its consciousness restriction.

Its own advantages were fully countered, and its ultimate moves were seen through in advance. The Strange Tree felt as if it had fallen into a cage specifically designed to target it, unable to crawl out no matter how hard it tried.

Thinking of this, the Strange Tree looked around its surroundings. This branch probably wouldn't exist for much longer, right? It never believed that human would keep his word; human promises were the least trustworthy, so it didn't even bother to sign any agreement.

Hehe, in this exchange, the other party obtained a pheromone dye that could mark Star Flame. This was exactly what it wanted to give to the other party. Did they really think it didn't know about the Guman Snake's bounty?

As long as the Guman Snake and the invading Star Flame Giants started fighting, these people, including that Lord of Stars, probably wouldn't have time to pay attention to it.

As for those small tree-men, hehe, Star of the Azure God, you wouldn't just leave the children of your Guardian Divine Tree alone, would you? Raising them is not an easy task, oh.

On Anthony's side, Anthony, who was being driven to distraction by the hundreds of small tree-men, slowly came to his senses and said with a bitter smile, "I suspect it deliberately gave these small tree-men to us."

"Ah? Deliberately? Why?" Negris asked, puzzled.

"My lord wouldn't know, but I do—how troublesome it is to raise them. Each main material plane can only hold one, just like a world village. Where are we going to find so many main material planes to put them? I've brought a big trouble to my lord," Anthony said.

Ang looked up and said, "The Abyss also lives; want to grow up, change the Abyss."

"The Abyss can also be planted and grown, but to grow up, the Abyss must be transformed into a main material plane? That's it! There are so many Abyss planes; we can put them anywhere," Negris translated.

Anthony smiled even more bitterly: "The Abyss that can be transformed into a main material plane absolutely cannot be small. It must be at least as big as the Abyss of Rest. The bigger, the better. The Divine Light Alliance couldn't possibly have such a large Abyss plane; if they did, we would have occupied it long ago."

"Is that so? Then let them stay in their fruit shells for now, and we'll talk after we find a place to settle them," Negris said.

Anthony shook his head: "No, the Strange Tree already blocked that path. It hatched them all when it sent them over; they can't be stuffed back in. I suspect it was keeping them in the fruit shells until now."

Seeds can be preserved for thousands of years without hatching. The Spring Breeze Cup Grain Seed Assembly of the main plane once set a record by successfully planting grain seeds found in desert ruins from ten thousand years ago, with a yield of seventy jin per mu.

Grain seeds from ten thousand years ago can still grow grain, but sprouted seeds can be ruined in three to five days if not handled properly, like bean sprouts.

Negris felt a headache and said angrily, "This won't work, that won't work. Let's just chop them up and make scrambled eggs—small tree-man scrambled eggs."

Not far away, the Star of the Azure God narrowed its eyes. Anthony hurriedly said with a bitter smile, "That path won't work either. I suspect it recognized the Star of the Azure God, which is why it chose to dump them on us."

"How is that possible? It didn't even look at the Old Star once the whole time, and the Old Star has a Star God body just like us. How could it recognize it?" Negris said.

"Not just the Old Star; I suspect it also knows about the Guman Snake's bounty and deliberately handed the pheromone dye to us, because if not, everything would be too much of a coincidence," Anthony said.

Negris asked suspiciously, "Deliberately gave us the pheromone dye? Why?"

"Who knows? Maybe it has a grudge against the Guman Snake, maybe it has a grudge against us," Anthony said distressfully.

He had underestimated this Strange Tree too much before. He didn't expect that after contact, he would discover that it was indeed a Strange Tree—full of strange tricks. Anthony had to look back and review some things to notice the clues. However, despite this, all of this was just speculation. Whether the facts were like this, Anthony couldn't be sure.

"Wait until His Majesty catches its main body, and we'll interrogate it properly," Anthony said viciously.

"Can the Old Immortal catch its main body? Better to think about how to deal with these little guys first. With the Old Star blocking, it should be impossible to have small tree-man scrambled eggs," Negris said.

The Star of the Azure God said in annoyance, "Eating roasted lizard is also not bad—Star Flame roasted four-legged lizard."

"Oh my, you're attacking the dragon body? I'll launch all your small tree-men into the Boundless Great Void later," Negris said viciously.

Ang, who was playing with the small tree-men, suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up.

PS: Lower back pain, can't sit straight.
