Chapter 1344

~8 min read 1,566 words

The Guman Snake looked up and down at this meat ball for a long time and asked in a strange tone: "Who are you?"

The meat ball opened its fourteen limbs and bent inward, as if it were saluting: "I am the messenger of Emperor Empress Feilie. Hearing that Lord Tree God is offering a bounty for items and powers that can mark Star Flame, and my master happens to have such items, so I specifically came to claim the bounty."

The Guman Snake said while looking: "You, an undead creature, use the Dragon Transformation Art to transform into the appearance of an evil tree to claim the bounty. Who exactly sent you?"

The meat ball's fourteen limbs grabbed its body together. The action seemed like an instinctive reaction in an awkward situation, but it looked very scary. Fourteen limbs moving together gave a feeling of a centipede crawling on your face.

However, the Guman Snake was not a human. It only felt that this guy in front of it was a bit ridiculous. Did he want to deceive it with such a crude trick?

Just as it wanted to flatten it on the spot, the meat ball said: "My master, Emperor Empress Feilie, is originally the Undead King. Isn't it very normal for me to be an undead creature?"

While speaking, the meat ball changed back to its original state, a group of undead smoke, but soon it changed back to a meat ball: "It's too hot here, so I had to change my form. Please don't be angry, Tree God."

"Uh..." The Guman Snake was a bit speechless. It almost forgot that the King of Empress Feilie was an undead creature: "Then why do you want to use the Dragon Transformation Art?"

"Uh, I only know the Dragon Transformation Art. I was a dragon creature before I died," the meat ball hurriedly changed back to smoke, and then transformed into a first-rank Dragon-man again. It was exactly Fenike.

The temperature was still too high. Just after transforming for a short while, Fenike felt that the dragon scales on his body were a bit dry, so he hurriedly changed back.

The Guman Snake was speechless: "You, a dragon creature, why do you want to transform into the appearance of an evil tree?"

Speaking of this, Fenike couldn't help but have red eyes and said with grief and indignation: "That evil tree parasitized my child, turning my child into this ghost appearance now. My child hasn't hatched from the dragon egg yet. It hasn't seen the magnificence of the void, and it was turned into this appearance. But it is the only connection between me and my child, I..."

At the end, Fenike was choked with sobs. The emotion was real. Anthony let him transform into the appearance of the Strange Tree, and he was very resistant, but Anthony's words reversed his resistance: "You use this appearance to probe the Guman Snake and see if it recognizes the Strange Tree. If it recognizes it, we can cut in from here, find the Strange Tree's location, and take revenge for your child."

Now it seemed that the Guman Snake not only recognized the Strange Tree but also knew these Dragon-men.

"Okay, I understand. If you really possess items that can mark Star Flame, after completing the transaction, I will give you some gifts," the Guman Snake said.

Really? Fenike's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took out a small bottle: "Tree God, this is a sample, please verify."

The ground was cracking. A tree-man climbed up from the ground, came to Fenike, took the bottle, and opened the cap. A branch reached in and dipped a little.

Lifting it up to look, it was transparent, colorless, odorless, and there was no change at all.

Facing the Guman Snake's suspicious consciousness sweeping over, Fenike hurriedly said: "This is a dye specially customized for Star Flame. It needs to be burned."

The Guman Snake flicked a small cluster of Star Flame over, which fell onto the branch stained with dye, and it immediately burned.

Burning like this, everyone present saw the difference. The flame of the Star Flame burning actually turned green.

"A bit interesting." The Guman Snake took the small bottle. When the tree-man reached out its branch to dip just now, the Guman Snake had already fully verified it to ensure that this thing would not harm it, so it dared to take it.

Caution is an instinct that all existences at this level should master.

"Is it really effective for Star Flame? Will it disappear as soon as it burns on the Star Flame?" the Guman Snake asked suspiciously.

Fenike made a gesture of invitation, which was probably it. It was just that seven limbs made this action together, and no one could see what gesture it was: "Please verify."

The Guman Snake flicked out a new cluster of Star Flame and dripped a drop of dye on it. Immediately, the entire cluster of Star Flame flared with green flames. The Star Flame itself radiated yellow-white flame light, and the green flames made it exceptionally conspicuous, and even the temperature of the flame light seemed to have dropped.

The Guman Snake manipulated the Star Flame to split into two, but both clusters of Star Flame maintained green flames. Then it split them into four, and then into eight, but every cluster of Star Flame still maintained green flames.

"Can't cutting erase it either?" The Guman Snake nodded, gathered them into a ball, flicked out a larger cluster of Star Flame, and stuffed the Star Flame with green flames into the larger cluster of Star Flame.

The two clusters of Star Flame were distinct. The small one burned inside the large one, emitting green light, but it wouldn't stain the outer Star Flame.

"Good." This was exactly what the Guman Snake wanted. If the Star Flame would stain other Star Flame, it would be meaningless. When the Star Flame Giant drilled into the Divine Star, the entire Divine Star would be dyed green, and it would be impossible to distinguish them.

"Does it have any shortcomings?" the Guman Snake asked.

Fenike said: "The dye sealed in the bottle must be used within two months, otherwise it will expire. If the bottle cap is opened, it must be used within a few hours. After staining, it can only be maintained for about ten days. After ten days, the green color will be gone."

The Guman Snake nodded while listening. Hearing that it would expire within a few hours after opening the cap, it even subconsciously closed the cap to avoid waste.

It listened to all the shortcomings Fenike mentioned. It knew at a glance that this thing was a pheromone dye. It was also a plant, so of course it knew the advantages and disadvantages of pheromones. If it couldn't produce pheromones with this characteristic, it would have used this method to mark the other party long ago.

After listening, the Guman Snake said: "Okay, deal. How to trade?"

Fenike said: "I give you a bottle of dye, and you give me an equivalent of Star Flame, until the fifth bottle is traded."

"Why trade until the fifth bottle? I offered a bounty of ten equivalents of Star Flame. Why not trade it all at once?" the Guman Snake asked suspiciously.

"Five bottles of dye are enough for you to mark one Star Flame Giant. If you decide to continue trading, we can continue, but don't you want to test the effect of the dye first and finish off one Star Flame Giant?" Fenike asked.

"Ten days is not enough for me to finish off one Star Flame Giant? What if I can't finish it off?" the Guman Snake asked, both dismissive and a bit curious.

"We will continue to provide dye for free until you finish off one of them," Fenike said.

The Guman Snake felt extremely satisfied upon hearing this. When had it ever enjoyed such perfect dwarf sales service? Weren't they all money-for-goods and then going their separate ways? Could they even replenish for free?

This was equivalent to the Guman Snake not buying a few bottles of dye, but buying a service to eliminate Star Flame Giants. It was simply too cost-effective.

Thinking for a moment, the Guman Snake said: "Ten bottles at a time. I'm afraid the other one will come to help and miss the opportunity. If you can't eliminate them, you can give me more dye."

"Deal."

At the roots of the World-Supporting Divine Tree, Mai Fortress lay quietly on the Star Flame, its consciousness scanning the surroundings leisurely.

Existences of this level don't need sleep. This leisurely state now is equivalent to sleep. When placed on the Guardian Construct, it is equivalent to the low-power Divine Throne mode. Although it doesn't move, the changes in the surroundings are all in its eyes.

A Fire-sign Bird carrying a bag flew by with "ya ya ya." Recently, there were more and more Star-born delivering goods like this, especially after Silver Coin came. Mai Fortress was not surprised.

Suddenly, several small bottles rolled out of the Fire-sign Bird's bag and smashed toward the location where Mai Fortress was.

It had always known that the Guman Snake was monitoring them, and Mai Fortress was also ready to respond at any time. But several bottles?
