Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton-Chapter 1794 - 1355 Burn You All
"Equivalent exchange, using our bodies means you must leave something of equal value." Negris said smugly, floating towards the Star Flame Crystal Stone, pulling it out.
"So beautiful, like a crystal stone solidified from a Divine Star." Anthony came closer to look and couldn’t help but sigh.
The transparent crystal stone was crystal clear, without a trace of impurities or cracks, looking just like air, an air tank used for fish should be just like this.
At the center of the crystal stone was a glowing light ball, seen through the crystal clear stone, it looked like a little god star suspended in the void, extremely beautiful.
Ursman said doubtfully, "The energy reaction of the star flame should be very intense, but through the crystal stone, I can’t feel any energy wave at all, this crystal stone is a really good isolation material."
"You and Durken should have a topic to talk about, you can see material properties at a glance." Negris said.
Ange took the crystal stone, looked at it a few times, and then handed it to the Little Sapling.
This startled both Anthony and Negris for a moment, this was not like Ange’s usual habit, finding suitable things for the suitable person, materials and equipment and the like would firstly go to Durken, unless this thing was more closely related to the Little Sapling.
The Little Sapling hugged the Star Flame Crystal Stone in its arms, as if sensing something, after a while, it let go and returned the Star Flame Crystal Stone to Ange?
Ange tilted his head?
The Little Sapling nodded.
Negris said in astonishment, "That’s it? Has the Little Sapling already learned how to plant these kinds of crystals?"
Ange nodded.
"Then how do we do it?" Negris asked.
Ange shook his head, "Now, we can’t, need the main body."
Ursman asked, "So these crystal stones are produced by this Tree of Ten Thousand Realms? As long as we understand the principle, can another Tree of Ten Thousand Realms easily produce them too?"
Ange nodded, "Withstand, Star Flame."
"The Little Sapling has learned it, but it needs to withstand the Star Flame to produce this kind of crystal?" Negris translated.
Ange nodded and added, "Damage, body."
"Huh? It would still damage the body, then forget it, anyway, you have a Star Flame clone, when the time comes, just throw the Star Flame to you, no need to store it. This lump on the tree must have been produced due to the damage from withstanding the Star Flame, right?" Negris immediately gave up the idea of letting the Little Sapling condense Star Flame crystals when he heard it would damage it.
Ange nodded.
Ursman suddenly said, "I’ve heard that when some trees get damaged, like by insects or chopping, they secrete a special substance at the wound to protect it. Is that why the wood inside melts?"
"Possibly, many trees have this kind of protective mechanism, so this tree lump is of great research value then." Negris said.
"Unfortunately, we can’t research it now, we should leave here first." Anthony said.
The Little Vine, following a fixed route, swam above the trunk, and then Ange performed a soul shift, transporting everyone back to their original hiding place, where they all exhaled a long breath.
To ease the awkwardness, Negris chuckled and said, "That Ancient Man Snake still has a lot of presence, huh."
Anthony agreed, "It’s stronger than when we encountered it in the Boundless Space Hole, its consciousness is stronger, and its aura is more intimidating."
"Really?" The Monarch scratched his head in confusion, looking at the Gray Divine Star and asked, "Is it stronger?"
The Gray Divine Star shook its head, "I don’t feel much."
Ange also shook his head.
Negris had a headache, these guys of equal rank, of course, can’t feel much, but for those like them who are countless levels lower, the pressure was very real, only with Ange’s protection did they not mess up.
The normal reaction should be like the Little Vine’s, too afraid to speak, of course, the Little Vine also has Ange’s protection, it’s not that it doesn’t dare to speak, it just pretends not to dare, so the Ancient Man Snake didn’t get suspicious.
Except for Ange and the others who felt nothing, everyone else confirmed that the Ancient Man Snake’s presence and consciousness were stronger.
"It must be because of the distance, its consciousness is currently near its main body, so its intensity is definitely higher." Negris said.
Anthony said, "I need to revise my perception, the previous failure of the Ancient Man Snake led to my misjudgment of its strength, now it seems I underestimated it. It mentioned that searching the forbidden Little Fireman for Star Flame like this wasn’t the first time, so over the years, it must have accumulated a lot of Star Flame. What does it want so much Star Flame for? And who is that forbidden Little Fireman?"
Speaking of this, Anthony looked at the Little Fireman on the Little Zombie’s head. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The Little Fireman was lost in thought, seeing Anthony look over, it was dazed.
Anthony had to repeat his question, the Little Fireman quickly shook its head, it didn’t know either.
"It doesn’t know either, this forbidden Little Fireman seems very mature already, its language skills are very mature, it has already learned sarcasm, it definitely has rich experience communicating with intelligent beings, could it be the previous Divine Star Soul of this God Star?" Anthony speculated.
The forbidden Little Fireman mocked the Ancient Man Snake, saying its seeking permission was a meaningless gesture, as refusal was not an option.
This type of irony definitely couldn’t be used by a mere consciousness, it must have rich language exchange experience, even having been with complex-minded intelligent beings for some time.
Look at the Little Sapling, it has symbiosed with Ange for so long, yet it remains so naive, and Lightning who stayed with Gaur for decades turned into a Poisonous Beast due to association, so who you associate with matters.
This forbidden Little Fireman’s language ability suggests it might have long-term interaction with intelligent beings, plus being trapped in the tree lump for seemingly a long time, it could be older than the Little Fireman, so could it be the previous Divine Star Soul?
This unprovable speculation was set aside for the moment after everyone exchanged glances.
"So what should we do now?" Negris asked.
They planned to steal the Ancient Man Snake’s Star Flame but didn’t expect the Star Flame to be stored like this, impossible to steal unless they could lift the restriction on the forbidden Little Fireman.
"Did the Little Tree Man connect with the forbidden Little Fireman inside after scattering pollen in there?" Anthony asked, looking at the Little Zombie’s head.
The Little Fireman lumbered itself upright, revealing the Little Tree Man under it, lying there in a state of ’consciousness elsewhere’, after a while, it lifted its branches, emitting: ya—ya—ya—
Anthony grimaced; what does that mean? Even Negris couldn’t translate it.
Luckily there was a Little Sapling here that could understand, after listening, the Little Sapling turned to Ange: ya—ya—ya—
After listening, Ange nodded, turned to Anthony, and said, "Don’t pretend to be clueless, you all are in this together, when I get out, I’ll burn you all."
Repeating the Little Sapling’s words, Ange spoke more fluently than usual.
