Chapter 846: Flying Brick

~8 min read 1,453 words

A large stone appeared under the World Tree. Beneath the stone, Negris's angry voice sounded: "Damn Great Xiao Gu, let me out, let me out! You heartless guy, when you pray, it's me who passes knowledge to you. Without me, you couldn't plant so many trees."

"Let me out! Nagging is my freedom, my right. If you don't want to listen, you can plug your ears, but you can't lock me up. I protest, I oppose!"

Negris shouted for a long time without getting even a squeak in response. Having no choice, it could only change its strategy, continuing to shout:

"Ang, you dead skeleton, I know you're watching. Let Great Xiao Gu let me out. You dead skeleton, don't think I don't know. You must be watching Great Xiao Gu plant things. You're playing with this place as a simulation array. Hurry up and let me out."

"If you don't let me out again, I'll go out and tell the old immortal to let him come in and save you. Let me out, let me out!"

Creak. The large stone pressing on it moved away. Great Xiao Gu's head poked out from the edge of the pit, its hands covering its ears.

But where would a skeleton have ears? It only had two ear holes, and it didn't rely on them to hear things. It just expressed an attitude, which immediately made Negris furious: "Ah, ah, ah, I'm so angry!"

While shouting, it flew out of the pit, but for a while, it didn't dare to nag again.

Before, when it projected itself in, it saw Great Xiao Gu stupidly planting land day after day. Its bad habit of loving to be a teacher couldn't help but flare up. Every day, it nagged in Great Xiao Gu's ear, trying to persuade Great Xiao Gu to give up the boring daily tree planting, leave the desert, and go out to find Anthony.

Who knew Great Xiao Gu wasn't stupid at all. After being nagged until it was annoyed, it actually grabbed Negris and stuffed it into the pit, and even pressed a large stone on it.

Great Xiao Gu set the large stone, knelt down as usual, and prayed with a standard posture.

Awoo—Hearing its strange prayer, Negris became furious: "Ang, can the guys in your house be normal? Awoo twice and you can pray? I'm convinced by you."

After saying that, it couldn't help but mutter again: "The old immortal is not normal, and you are not normal either. What normal person would let a Silver Skeleton be a priest... But if you don't let a skeleton be a priest, who can persist for so long? Let me calculate..."

"Twenty years have passed outside, with a time magnification of 1,800 times, meaning 36,000 years have passed?! Great Xiao Gu, have you been planting trees here for more than 36,000 years?" Not calculating it was one thing, but calculating it was shocking. Negris was so shocked that its phantom emerged.

Great Xiao Gu finished praying, stood up, counted with its fingers for a long time, but couldn't count anything: "Awoo?"

This number clearly exceeded the range Great Xiao Gu could calculate. All the bones in its body added together weren't enough to count.

Negris was convinced. Just as it wanted to complain, it discovered something wrong: "Great Xiao Gu, why did your bones become like this? Purple? Did you die?"

It saw that the bones on Great Xiao Gu's body were black in one place and purple in another, mixed together and gray. If you didn't look closely, you would think it was a gray-bone skeleton.

Negris had only seen this color of bone on Ang. When Ang turned from a dead skeleton to a black crystal skeleton, it was also this gray color, but...

Negris leaned close to Great Xiao Gu's eye socket and looked. The soul fire inside was still deep blue. This was the color of the soul heart.

"Your soul only rose one level, but your body is almost black-crystalized. I knew it. It must be that Ang guy projecting power to you every day that catalyzed your body like this," Negris said.

It was now 100% sure that Ang's gaze had always been focused here. Great Xiao Gu was his spokesperson. This dead skeleton was treating the dimensional space as a simulation array.

It just said, why was the time magnification 1,800 times, not 2,000 or 1,000? Because the default magnification of the simulation array was also this. Kuba Da, this dead skeleton didn't even forget to plant land when creating a world.

Great Xiao Gu tilted its head blankly, clearly not understanding, so it didn't bother to care. With a light jump, the entire skeleton frame floated up slowly, flying straight toward the canopy of the World Tree. That was the highest point of the entire desert.

"Huh, can you fly now? No, are you not planting trees today?" Negris chased after it hurriedly.

Arriving at the high point of the World Tree, Great Xiao Gu hung a branch around its neck, as if it were hanging itself. The warm sunlight shone on its body, so comfortable that the soul fire in its eye sockets almost went out.

"Uh, I'm asking you, are you not planting trees today..." Before it finished speaking, Negris also flew to the canopy, and then the scene it saw made it unable to speak anymore.

Where was there any desert in front of it? It was a boundless, dense forest. The words it used to urge Anthony outside had actually come true. The desert had really been planted into a forest by Great Xiao Gu.

This desert was manifested by Ang and was not a naturally formed plane, so its surface was flat, unlike ordinary planes that had curvature. If your eyesight was infinitely far, you could always see the edge of the land.

In the place where Negris could see, it couldn't see any desert, only large, large areas of vibrant forest.

"You... you really planted this place into a forest? I..." So it was fully planted. No wonder it didn't need to plant trees today.

Great Xiao Gu ignored it, enjoying the sunbath freely. A breeze blew, and its skeleton frame swayed with the branches, like a skeleton frame weathered after hanging itself, which might be very creepy to see at night.

Negris hurriedly chanted: "Since the trees are all planted, let's go out and find Anthony, okay? Anthony made an appointment with me that he would find us when he came in, but he doesn't know where this place is. Let's go out and spread some news so it's easier for him to find us."

Great Xiao Gu raised its hands to block its ear holes.

"You..." Negris felt that this Great Xiao Gu was even harder to deal with than Ang. Although Ang didn't like to talk, at least he was willing to listen to others. This Great Xiao Gu directly did "Don't listen, don't listen, priest chanting," not giving you a chance to speak at all.

If it hadn't threatened Ang just now, this Great Xiao Gu wouldn't have let it out.

Negris's eyes turned, and it said: "Since the land here is all planted with trees, let's go out and find a piece of wasteland and continue planting trees, okay?"

Teng... The soul fire in Great Xiao Gu's eye sockets burned fiercely again.

Negris said triumphantly: "By the way, let's introduce some new varieties. I feel that the plant varieties in the forest are too few. Looking at it, there are only trees with green leaves. Other colored leaves don't seem to be seen, and I don't see vines or shrubs, which is a bit monotonous. Let's go get some new varieties back."

Great Xiao Gu took itself off the branch and tapped its skull quickly.

However, just at this moment, a shout suddenly rang out from the forest a few kilometers away. An elf hung on a tree with one hand, pointing in the direction of Great Xiao Gu with the other, shouting something in panic toward the ground, vaguely hearing things like "bones," "moving," "brick," "flying," etc.

Bones referred to Great Xiao Gu, then who did the brick refer to? Negris thought in confusion, while looking back at its own earthy-yellow main body.

Its current main body was knocked out of the ground by Great Xiao Gu, and its surface looked like a book made of mud—Book of Yellow Mud.

"Pfft—Does 'flying brick' refer to me? Why is there an elf? Great Xiao Gu, have you seen elves in the forest before?" Negris asked.

Great Xiao Gu shook its head. ===== CHAPTER 847 =====
