Chapter 1374 His Majesty is already on his way
Anyone familiar with Anthony knows that you have to be extremely careful when talking to this old charlatan, because his words are full of traps, and you can easily fall for them, just like now.
He knew perfectly well that when the Ghost Tree said it was leaving this place, it wasn't just referring to the few of them, but more importantly, to the Star Lord who had smashed it so hard it was running away in terror. But Anthony naturally ignored this point, and his reasoning was perfectly valid: 'How could someone as strong as that guy be one of us?'
The Ghost Tree accepted this reasoning. Ang was very strong; it could anchor its consciousness to the location of its physical body. The Undying King was also very strong; it didn't even dare to think about fighting the other. It was difficult for two equally powerful beings to form an alliance; neither would submit to the other.
However, it still had a vague feeling of being tricked, but Anthony quickly added, "He didn't come to find you; he was lured here by another Star Skull." The Ghost Tree instantly realized.
It said, "The Undying King has never been to this place before, so how could he find its location so accurately?" It turns out it was him—King Phile!
The King of Felie was also someone it dared not provoke. Of course, it didn't have the guts to provoke him openly, but it had plenty of guts to provoke him secretly. When it discovered that the King of Felie had many undead dragonmen under his command, it targeted the undead dragonmen specifically, and even occupied the ancestral cemetery of the dragonmen.
If Ang hadn't come, these dragon people might have really been wiped out by him.
It believes it has never directly provoked King Felix, so why would King Felix lure monsters into its territory?
You see, some people think it's doing things secretly, but others can only do things secretly too. It's not like we're playing house. The reason King Felix didn't kill it is simply because it was too well hidden.
Since the King of Phile has attracted monsters here, then don't blame me for revealing his location. Thinking of this, the Ghost Tree said, "The King of Phile is hiding in the core of the abyss."
“Pfft…” Anthony and Negris burst out laughing: “Why do you think King Phileel led us here? It’s because we destroyed his home in the core of the abyss, so he ran away. If you don’t have another hiding place for him, then forget it. You pay the compensation for the damage to the dragon people, and we’ll leave. You’ll have to deal with the Star Lord yourself.”
The Ghost Tree was silent for a moment, then said, "The dragon race has a problem with egg malfunction. I can solve this problem and increase the dragon race's birth rate."
"No need. You don't think we can't even solve the problem of the egg, do you?" Dongdongni refused.
Negris said with even more disdain, "Is this how you're going to deal with this dragon egg? If so, I'd rather the dragon race just go extinct."
The strange tree fell silent again, and after a long while it finally said, "I'll send over a batch of saplings for you to kill."
“You…” Negris was so angry he didn’t know what to say: “Do you think we’re fools? Putting aside the difficulty of plant and animal reproduction, what’s the point of sending your treants here to kill them, since they’re all puppets?”
“Not the Tree Man, but this kind.” After saying that, the Tree Man opened its mouth wide and made a spitting motion. After a while, it spat out a fruit shell.
The shell opened, and a very beautiful tree-man sat inside, looking around blankly, unsure of what to do.
Tree people are generally hard to describe as beautiful. They have thick, rough skin, messy appearance, and ferocious faces. Some are even covered in moss and are slippery. For example, there is that talkative tree, Goer, which is hundreds of meters tall and has a very imposing presence. Its bark is hard and thick, and wrinkled like a centuries-old mummy. It is by no means beautiful.
The sapling is very beautiful, but it is not a tree person. It is just a mimicry sapling. Its true form is the Myriad Realms Divine Tree that supports all worlds. It looks similar to the tree person's true form and is not beautiful at all.
But this tree-man is really beautiful. Its whole body is lush, full, and smooth, like some kind of jade. It has some small flowers on its head, like it is wearing a flower crown. It is not big, about the size of a kitten, and with its bewildered expression, it is very cute.
Intelligent beings are generally visual beings; they will feel a sense of goodwill towards things that conform to their aesthetic sense at first glance. However, Anthony and Negris still looked at Ang.
Some things cannot be judged by appearances. Ang has the ability to see through a person's appearance at a glance and determine whether the person is a threat.
Looking at the beautiful little tree person, Ang neither nodded nor shook his head, but tilted his head slightly.
Instead, Azure God Star subconsciously let out a "huh".
Anthony turned to Azure Star, who nodded: "I know it."
“Alright then.” Anthony looked at the strange tree and said, “I’ll take it. You’ll have to pay us back twice as many of these tree people as you’ve killed our dragonmen.”
"Twice?" The Ghost Tree paused, then said, "I don't have that many tree people."
Anthony probed further and discovered that this strange tree actually remembered how many dragonmen it had killed.
“How many of these tree-men do you have?” Anthony asked.
"Six hundred and thirty-one trees," the strange tree said.
“Okay, bring them over. We’ll leave once we get them. Do we need to sign a contract or something?” Anthony asked.
The strange tree's several small eyes looked Anthony up and down, a contemptuous smile appearing on its lips.
Without saying anything, the strange tree opened its big mouth and spat out the fruit shells one after another, quickly spitting out 631 fruit shells.
Ang and his group kept their promise, leaving with the words, "Take care of the Star Skull yourself, we're leaving."
Then he left the Silent Dead Sea with 632 tree people.
As soon as they left the silent Dead Sea, Negris couldn't help but ask, "Old Star, do you recognize them? What kind of tree-men are they?"
Azure God Star sighed: "My child, the guardian tree."
"Your guardian tree? The Tree of All Realms? How did its child fall into the hands of the Ghost Tree?" Anthony asked.
Azure God Star said helplessly, "How should I know? After the Guardian Trees withered, my connection with them was severed. It's surprising that they are still alive after so many years."
The main issue is that nobody cares. The giant tree is dead, so who would care where its leaves fall? I never expected to run into it here, and that the strange tree would use it as compensation to send to my enemy to kill for fun.
“I know nothing.” Negris rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned to Anthony, asking, “And you, how come you two seem to be negotiating so smoothly? Is it trying to trick you? Letting us take the compensation and leave without signing any contract? What if we turn around and deny it?”
Anthony shook his head: "I find it strange too. It seems to not care whether we keep our promises or not; it just wants us to get out of that place as soon as possible."
"Huh? Are we still leaving? Aren't we going to stay and see what kind of conspiracy it's plotting?" Negris said anxiously.
“If we don’t leave, it might stop. It will only start if we leave. The lord has already left a mark, and His Majesty is on his way,” Anthony said.
