Chapter 1414 Save me, save me!
Anthony didn't quite understand the purely animalistic mechanism of swarming, but he knew all too well about the resurrection of the Life Box. He never expected that a closed space could yield such unexpected gains.
Ang was originally worried that the new plant would connect with the old Ghost Tree, so he set up this Shroud of the Dead space. Unexpectedly, it caused the Ghost Tree sapling to have the effect of resurrection. In other words, the Ghost Tree sapling has now been resurrected and has inherited the memories of the old Ghost Tree.
The strange sapling looked left and right, then at its own condition, and quickly understood what was going on. Finally, it asked helplessly, "How did you do that?"
"What? How did you do that?" Negris was a little confused by this question.
"How did you manage to bring me back to life?" the mysterious tree seedling asked.
"What do you mean? How do I grow you? How do I get you to sprout? Is it that difficult?" Negris asked, puzzled.
It watched as Ang made a series of fierce moves, seemingly without any difficulty.
"Fine, don't say it then. It's not easy for me to propagate my own plants, yet you've so easily grown them. Now you're pretending it's so simple. Are you trying to humiliate me?" the sapling said angrily.
Negris and Anthony exchanged glances, then looked at Ang together. It seemed that planting the Strange Tree was not an easy task, but it was no challenge for Ang.
“Divine light shines,” Ang said.
Growing a sapling of the Mysterious Tree requires ample nutrition and a suitable environment. However, since the Mysterious Tree can survive in places like the Silent Dead Sea, it is suitable for almost any environment. Therefore, the most crucial point is actually only one thing—divine light.
“Just divine light? Why can’t I do it? I’ve tried to materialize divine light using chaotic mist, but it didn’t work. I need to search everywhere for windows of divine light, but there’s no guarantee that I can get offshoots.” The strange tree sapling said.
Negris suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. So you went to rob the ancestral cemetery of the dragon people just to bask in the divine light."
"Hmm." The sapling was filled with regret. It was all because of the Dragonkin's ancestral cemetery that it had provoked these guys. If it had prophetic abilities, it would never have appeared in the ancestral cemetery, no matter what.
"What... exactly are you?" Duroken gestured up and down, asking curiously.
"What do you mean? I'm a tree, what are you?" the strange sapling asked, puzzled.
“What I mean is, are you a plant or an animal? Why do you have characteristics of both animals and plants?” Duroken said.
“Animals? Plants? What a primitive way of classifying things. I’m just a tree that has absorbed the advantages of all living things and grown by combining them,” the strange sapling said.
absorb?
After some questioning, everyone finally learned what this strange tree was. Its original form was a tree, but because the place where it grew was too barren, it did not have the elements necessary for a tree to grow, such as sunlight, air, and water. Therefore, it could not grow into an ordinary tree and thus grew crooked.
It absorbed all the organisms that grew in that place, and what followed was a brutal evolutionary process, eventually evolving into what it is today, possessing characteristics of both animals and plants.
To survive, it branched out in many ways: vines from the ancestral cemetery, thorny bushes and lantern trees smashed by the king, and...
"I won't tell you about any other branching plants," the Mysterious Tree Sapling said.
“Heh.” Anthony chuckled. He had been reviewing the game and hadn’t said anything, but now that he heard what the Ghost Tree Sprout said, he finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
Negris and Duroken, who were used to playing along, quickly shut up, because when Anthony laughed like that, it meant he was about to bluff.
Anthony asked, "Now, if we let you out, do you know who will be the first to devour you?"
One sentence is enough to strike at the heart. After hearing Anthony's words, the Ghost Tree Sapling fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
Negris and Duroken's eyes lit up. This new sapling was a resurrected individual from the Life Box, but the old sapling outside was still alive. If it knew there was another sapling with its memories, it would definitely kill the sapling immediately.
Normally, the division is controlled by the main body, but now that the division has developed its own independent consciousness, things have become complicated.
In fact, Duroken had faced the same situation before. When Duroken first came to the Alliance of the Light, he was also resurrected in the body of a Mourning Undead through the Life Box. He still had his original body in the world of Ang.
However, Duroken's situation is easy to solve because Ang is there. One of his souls can devour the other, and their memories can be merged into one.
However, when the same situation is applied to the Ghost Tree, a problem arises: who merges with whom?
Theoretically, the main body of the Ghost Tree should merge with this Ghost Tree Sapling, but would the Ghost Tree Sapling be willing? Would it be willing to be merged with another version of itself?
Unwilling, the sapling, which had already developed its own consciousness, made a decision, saying, "I have five more branches, located in different places. If you promise to destroy them and let me leave, I will tell you their locations."
“We agree.” Anthony glanced at Ang and, seeing that Ang didn’t react, agreed.
“Make a vow,” the sapling said.
“I swear in the name of my lord Ang, if you tell me the locations of all the branches of the Ghost Tree, I will let you leave. If I break this oath, my consciousness will immediately vanish.” As Anthony swore, a mark of the oath appeared before him.
The sapling of the strange tree did not accept the oath mark. Instead, it stood there for a long time before sighing, "I'm a little confused. I actually naively tried to bind you with such a low-level oath. Can this oath really bind you?"
Anthony nodded hesitantly. Of course, there could be a binding force, but he had sworn an oath in Ang's name, so how could Ang bind him? The oath was essentially invalid.
In fact, after arriving in this world, they rarely used oaths or contracts anymore, because there was no longer any power to guarantee the validity of oaths. More often, they would forcibly imprint soul marks and consciousness imprints.
The sapling panicked. It clearly knew it couldn't ensure Anthony would keep his promise and release it, so it subconsciously pinned its hopes on the oath. But once the oath was formed, it realized that even an oath couldn't guarantee the other party would keep their promise, because 'My Lord Ang,' who bound the other party, was also on the other side.
Realizing it was pointless, the sapling refused to accept the oath mark and directly revealed the coordinates of the five branches of the sapling.
Ang relayed the location coordinates to the king. A few days later, the king sent back a message saying that a branch of the strange tree had been found at the first location coordinate and had been eliminated.
“It seems your coordinates are accurate. Alright, you can go now.” Anthony gestured for the sapling to leave.
"Really letting me go?" The Ghost Tree Seedling couldn't believe it had gone so smoothly; the other party had actually kept their promise.
“Yes, go away, don’t get in my way.” Anthony waved his hand dismissively.
The strange sapling twisted and turned, quickly running to the exit. Still in disbelief, it turned its head to look back, and finding that no one was paying attention to it, it then crawled out of the exit and left the Holy Shroud space.
"Are you really going to let it go?" Negris said reluctantly. Although the strange tree hadn't caused them any damage, was it really a good idea to let such a bizarre tree go?
Anthony chuckled and said, "Didn't I say before that once it leaves this place, the one who wants it dead the most is its own body? Maybe it will even have to ask the adults to save its life."
"Heh, do you think everyone is as fond of yelling for help as you are?" Negris said disdainfully.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the eerie sapling, which had only recently left the Holy Corpse Space, darted back at an even faster speed, shouting as it ran, "Help me! Help me!"
