Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton-Chapter 1736 - 1297: Not Following the Routine at All

Unfortunately, this is the Consciousness Space, and any attack from Ancient Man Snake is meaningless. Ange waved his hand to dispel it, then reached out and grabbed it, instantly squeezing the manifested Tree of Ten Thousand Realms formed by Ancient Man Snake into a ball.

After a few kneads, Ancient Man Snake realized its situation and quieted down.

Anthony then manifested his own form, floating forward, saying, "Hello, Ancient Man Snake, nice to meet you, you can call me Anthony."

Ancient Man Snake shuddered all over: "It’s you! Why... why do you call me Ancient Man Snake? Who is Ancient Man Snake? I am Nagustai, not called Ancient Man Snake."

Though it had never seen Anthony, the tone was so familiar that it immediately knew it was the consciousness it had previously interacted with.

"Haha, you are an ancient vine, parasitic on the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, called Ancient Vine, also known as Ancient Man Snake. We all know this, no need to lie anymore." Anthony unhesitatingly exposed its lie.

Ancient Man Snake silently scrutinized Anthony for a while, then suddenly its form changed back to its original snake-like vine appearance: "Who told you these things?"

"The Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, the real Nagustai," Anthony replied.

"Impossible. I am the real Nagustai. I am the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, and the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms is me," Ancient Man Snake bluntly refuted.

"Uh, you’re just being unreasonable now. Do you want to leave here or not? Be open and honest, let’s have a good chat, and once we’re done, we can let you go." Anthony said.

Ancient Man Snake sneered, "You would let me go? Do you think I’m stupid?"

"We would, because we are not necessarily enemies. We don’t have any fundamental conflict. You want to snatch the Gray Divine Star, and so do we. We can even be considered ’snatching’ friends, right? Also, we might even have a common enemy. Do you know about Gemez Fortress? Have its people already reached the God Star?" Anthony said.

"What? Someone from Gemez Fortress is already on the God Star? Where?" Ancient Man Snake asked in shock.

"Between the roots of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms and the sea of fire, there are two of them. They have renamed themselves to this name, one is called Ge Castle, and the other Mai Bao, and there might be another called Zi Castle, but we haven’t found its existence yet." As Anthony spoke, he manifested the appearances of Ge Castle and Mai Bao.

This kind of information that includes even form names, undeniably has a high level of credibility. After pondering for a while, Ancient Man Snake asked, "What do you want?"

"Information, information, all sorts of information, like your origin? When did you parasitize the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms? Do you have any special abilities? How do you reproduce? Are there seeds? Why are you snatching the Gray Divine Star?" All sorts of questions, Anthony bombarded with a bunch of them.

In the Soul Network, Negris discontentedly whispered, "You don’t really plan on letting it go, do you? What about the Little Tree Man? We still need to use it to exchange for half of the God Star’s power. You’re asking so thoroughly. Are you really going to let it go?"

Anthony replied in the Soul Network, "Whether to release it or not, I don’t know yet. I’m just verifying some things. Sir, is there any change on the side of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms?"

Ange projected over and glanced, saying, "No."

"What do you want to verify?" Negris asked in bewilderment.

"Verifying whether the Abyss Bridge has any effect on it. The Gray Divine Star has a way to evade the Abyss Bridge, how do you know Ancient Man Snake doesn’t? Besides..." Anthony stopped there.

"Besides what?" Negris said discontentedly, it hated people who hang things up halfway, frustratingly leaving it in suspense.

"Besides, is there only one Ancient Man Snake? Most vines parasitize, a big tree can have many vines. We captured its consciousness, yet there is no change on the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, what does that tell? It signifies that its consciousness disconnect does not affect the parasitic parts of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms." Anthony explained.

Negris was instantly alarmed: "Yet you talked a whole bunch with it? Even told it about Ge Castle and Mai Bao, what if it sends the information back?"

"Haha, isn’t that great? We get another ally to deal with Mai Bao and Ge Castle." Anthony chuckled.

Negris was stunned, recalling, indeed, although Anthony said a lot, it sounded very honest, but everything he said was irrelevant, no important information was disclosed, such as the information about Little Fireman and Little Tree Man.

"So you had it all planned? What if it can’t send the information out, or if there is only one of it? Wouldn’t that mean you prepared everything for nothing?" Negris said.

"Uh, isn’t this very normal? Any plan needs to be prepared several times over, along with various backup plans, to ensure that no matter how things change, they can be beneficial to us. Many arrangements are precisely prepared for contingency; wasting them is even better, it means our main objective might very well be accomplished." Anthony began to rant.

"Now what annoys me the most isn’t that many arrangements go to waste, what frustrates me the most is that often the targets don’t follow the usual pattern. Originally, money, beauty, power, and status could be used to entice, death threats to coerce, but now, we’re encountering ones that aren’t the same type, either they don’t like money or they’re not afraid of death, I still have to make on-the-spot assessments of what they’re afraid of, and that’s the real hassle."

"That’s true, uh... what’s it doing?" Negris hadn’t finished speaking, watching as Ancient Man Snake rolled itself up, extending roots to tightly wrap its entire form, squeezing tighter and tighter, until finally squeezing itself into flying ash, dissipating in the Consciousness Space.

"... What’s going on? What’s it doing?" Negris incredulously asked.

"... Did it just kill itself?" Anthony was a bit unable to react.

Just after mentioning the targets not following the usual pattern, immediately encountering one that kills itself? This is too unconventional, right? You, an esteemed vine parasitizing the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, actually committed suicide?

"Didn’t it answer any of your questions?" Negris suddenly realized.

Ange said, "It dissipated, it, information, sent out, a bit."

...

Within the layer of stacking bark of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, a bulge suddenly ruptured, and a slightly smaller version of a snake-shaped vine emerged.

Upon hearing the commotion, an Old Tree Vine that was originally patrolling around drooped down, surprised, asking: "What happened? How come you suddenly changed?"

The Little Tree Vine also said in confusion, "It seems to have died, and I suddenly changed."

"What? It died? How did it die? Was it killed by the Gray Divine Star? Or was it killed by King Fei Lie?" The Old Tree Vine asked in shock.

The Little Tree Vine replied, "No idea, it only sent back a small amount of information, Abyss Bridge, Anthony, Gemez Fortress, and something about Ge Castle and Mai Bao, it seemed to be in a very closed environment, even the twin sensing was restricted."

The Old Tree Vine trembled again: "Twin sensing was restricted? Impossible? Even separated by several worlds, twin sensing can be perceived, how could it be restricted?"

The Little Tree Vine said, "It’s not the distance, I can’t say clearly, it used an explosion of consciousness to send this information back, I need to verify the correctness of this information first."

The Little Tree Vine drilled out of the trunk, heading toward the roots of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, and the Old Tree Vine hurriedly followed.

After they both left, a small worm silently emerged from a gap in the bark. The worm was only fist-sized, in this gigantic world it seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust, but the kind of bulge Little Tree Vine emerged from was millions of times larger than it.

Such a tiny worm crawled to the ruptured bulge, licking up the fluid residual from the bulge’s rupture, and after satiating itself, the worm spat a little saliva onto the bulge, making a mark, then turned and found another bulge, exerting itself to gnaw at the shell, and drilled in.
