Vegetable Skeleton's Exotic Land Reclamation

Cardith almost did a split. Why did this guy speak in such choppy sentences? Want to meet the Tree God? Bah, even I can't meet the Tree God.

Just as he was about to interrupt this unrealistic idea, he heard Anthony say, "You are the Shadow of the God Star, an existence symbiotic with the God Star. You should know the Tree God, right?"

Cardith's heart skipped a beat. That's right, he was the Shadow of the God Star, an existence symbiotic with the God Star. It would be a bit much if he didn't even know the Tree God.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out, and Cardith said with a laugh, "I know him, I know him. But the Tree God is very busy and doesn't meet with just anyone..."

Anthony took a step forward and asked, "What does it take to not be just anyone? What task do we need to complete to be granted an audience with the Tree God?"

An inexperienced person would easily fall for this kind of topic-steering. Cardith subconsciously followed his lead and said, "Complete a task? Yes, yes, complete a task. You need to complete some very difficult tasks to be qualified to meet the Tree God."

"What kind of task is it then?" Anthony took another half step forward.

This kind of step-by-step pressure brought great pressure to Cardith, who subconsciously wanted to make up an impossible task to fob them off, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Anthony say, "A proper task should be something that someone can complete, like something you could easily complete. If even you can't easily complete it, then it would be too difficult for us. You wouldn't make things difficult for us, would you?"

These words blocked Cardith from saying anything else. "Right, right, right, haha, how could I make things difficult for you? Haha, I'll go ask the Tree God first."

Cardith suddenly shrank into the shadow on the ground and disappeared from Anthony and Negary's sight.

Of course, he didn't really disappear. It's just that Anthony and Negary couldn't see him. They quickly glanced at Angor, only to see Angor's gaze slowly move, all the way to the corner of the crack in the ground, before retracting. Clearly, Angor could see him and watched him leave.

Seeing this, Negary turned to Anthony and asked in a low voice, "What are you trying to do?"

Throughout the entire process, Anthony didn't say what he was going to do. It was entirely based on mutual understanding and cooperation. However, understanding is ultimately unreliable. Negary wanted to know why Anthony was doing this.

Anthony said, "I suspect he doesn't know the Little Treant, nor does he know the Little Fire Sprite. He might not even be from here. I'm trying to trick him and then set a trap to see what we can squeeze out of him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you might as well inherit Silver Coin's Scammer Godhood." After spitting out a complaint, Negary asked, "So, what have you figured out?"

"I've figured out that he's not from here. We'll see what kind of task he sets later, and Master will be able to roughly gauge his level," Anthony said.

Negary was convinced. There were so many tricks in just a few words. He really couldn't talk to this Death Cleric, otherwise he would be sold and still have to help him count the money.

"Is there really such a thing as the Shadow of the God Star? A God Star can't have a shadow. Whether it's its own shadow or someone else's shadow cast on it, it shouldn't exist," Negary said.

"Hey, I can't hear your voice anymore, Bastard! You're calling me a fat, fat, fat dragon! You Death Cleric!!" Negary said angrily, lunging forward to scratch his face.

"This is to prevent eavesdropping," Anthony nimbly dodged and beat him up, then curiously asked, "You can't even hear me, how do you know I'm scolding you?"

"I can read lips, Death Cleric. You wait, when we get back, I'll make up a story about you and ten sows," Negary said indignantly.

"Don't, don't, don't. Next time there's a cool occasion, I'll give you my spot and even be your hype man," Anthony said.

"Really? Alright then, I forgive you." Anthony's conditions were too tempting. He could hype anyone up comfortably, and they would want to be hyped again next time.

After chatting for a while, Angor suddenly raised his head and looked towards the entrance, then kept moving in front of them. Not long after, a shadow appeared not far in front of them, and then a humanoid shadow emerged, manipulating a small fireball to form a fire shield around its body and approached.

"I've asked the Tree God. He said that if you can make this plant bloom, then you will have completed the task," Cardith said, taking out a shrub.

Angor looked at the shrub and tilted his head.

Anthony was stunned on the surface, but his heart was on high alert. "Make it bloom? This... This... This is too professional, right? We're just merchants, how could we make it bloom? Can you make it bloom?"

What alerted Anthony was, why would he come up with such a task? Did he know that they had a God of Planting on their side? They were disguised as a merchant caravan, asking merchants to plant trees? Unless he knew something.

Cardith smiled wryly and said, "I can't do this either, but it is indeed a task given by the Tree God. He also attached a leaf."

As he said that, Cardith took out a verdant leaf. As soon as the leaf was revealed, it immediately emitted a surging vitality.

Anthony couldn't help but widen his eyes and subconsciously looked at Angor. This surging vitality did seem like something from the Tree God, and it even carried the aura of the Little Treant.

"After completing the task, he will grant you an audience. This leaf will be a token and a reward. If you can't complete the task, it will wither on its own," Cardith said.

Was it really a task from the Tree God? Could this guy really contact the Tree God? Anthony frowned and probed, "If it's a task that even you can't complete, then we might not be able to complete it for a very long time. Then it will take a long time for you to know the cause of our form."

Cardith said with a wry smile, "There's nothing I can do about that. Who knew the Tree God would suddenly issue such a task? That's just how it is. If you complete the task, come find me then. This is my token. I'll send you back now."

After being sent back by Cardith, Anthony was still very confused. He couldn't figure out where the problem was. Who exactly was this so-called Tree God? Why did the leaf have the aura of the Little Treant?

Unable to figure it out, he turned to Negary and asked, "Where's the Little Treant?"

"He's with Luther and Lightning. They left a long time ago. Didn't you approve their adventure?" Negary replied.

That's true, but who would have thought that something could involve him? Now he couldn't find him even if he wanted to. Did he have to call Luther back?

Just as he was thinking about it, Negary suddenly shouted, "Hey, you dead skeleton, what are you doing? Why are you cutting it?"

Turning his head, he saw Angor cutting the shrub that Cardith had given them into branches about twenty centimeters long.
