Chapter 1790: Chapter 1351: They are Puppet Snakes

"Do you have Star Flame? How much do you have?" Negris curiously asked.

The Little Fireman is the consciousness of the God Star, but it can’t control the God Star now. The amount of Star Flame it can mobilize is still an unknown number. If it had the ability to harness the power of the God Star, it would have killed the Ancient Man Vine long ago, without needing Little Angel’s help.

"I have, this much!" The Little Fireman spread its arms wide, and a large mass of Star Flame condensed out from its embrace.

Anthony quickly said, "Appreciated, appreciated, keep it for yourself, we acknowledge your kindness."

If the Star Flame Giant of Mai Bao is equivalent to 0.7 units, then the Little Fireman would only have a maximum of 0.1. This amount is too small; even if it were all given to Ange, it would be exhausted just by activating the Star Shifting Ability of seventeen or eighteen Star Descendants, which wouldn’t be significant.

However, Anthony still appreciated the Little Fireman’s gesture. It seems to be getting along well with the Little Zombie and Little Angel, because only when one gets along exceptionally well, does one spontaneously wish to help their friends and family.

"Oh." The Little Fireman embraced tightly, and a large mass of Star Flame was absorbed into its body. It’s really hard to see how its small frame can hold such a large amount of Star Flame.

Then it said, "I know, where the Star Flame, vine, is hidden."

Everyone perked up, and Negris asked, "Star Flame hidden by the Ancient Vine?"

Ursman suddenly asked, "Why would the Ancient Vine hide Star Flame?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at the Little Fireman, which tilted its head in confusion, "I don’t know, I feel the Star Flame is there."

Ursman quickly said, "I’m not asking it, I’m organizing my thoughts on why the Ancient Man Snake would hide Star Flame."

Anthony immediately followed Ursman’s line of thinking, saying, "Keep it for use at another time? Keep it for someone else to use? Collecting habit? Likes to hide good things?"

Silver Coin raised a hand to add, "Sell it for money or trade goods?"

Only now did everyone understand what Ursman intended to say, and Luther asked in confusion, "Can Star Flame be sold for money or trade goods?"

"Didn’t the Ancient Man Snake treat Star Flame as money, exchanging it for a way to mark Ge Castle? In essence, it’s a commercial transaction." Anthony said.

"Since Star Flame can be used as money, its application should be quite broad, accessible to all, and willingly accepted. However, this doesn’t match what I’ve observed. I’ve been collecting commercial information in this area for a while and haven’t found anyone using Star Flame as money or its circulation in the market." Silver Coin responded.

Anthony asked, "Are you saying it’s something that circulates at a higher level?"

Silver Coin nodded, in the Master Plane, besides Demon Crystals, gold, silver, and copper coins, there are also items used as currency, including ’Nameless IOUs’ issued by various organizations and nations. Anyone with such an IOU can go to the corresponding organization to exchange it for currency of the corresponding amount.

Many organizations issue similar IOUs, but the most widely circulated are those issued by the Mercenary Guild, Magician’s Guild, and Goblin Trade Guild.

There’s actually one more powerful organization with greater trust, the Church of Light, but they have Redemption Tickets. These don’t need to be redeemed; they only dissolve sin, and are much better selling than any IOU.

Star Flame, although not circulating as currency, is evidently a high-level item that flows in small circles; even if someone possesses Star Flame, they might not know how to use it unless they reach a certain level.

So what is the Ancient Man Snake hiding Star Flame for?

This is the way of thinking for someone like Ursman, while Anthony thinks, "Where is it? Is there a lot? Are there many guards? Let’s go steal it."

"Yes, let’s go chop it down, wait for my main body." The Monarch said excitedly.

The Monarch’s main body cannot be virtualized and can only fly slowly, but now there’s an advantage; his Star Descendant avatar is here, so his main body can use the avatar to anchor the position and tear through space repeatedly to get here.

This is an extremely risky move for many Space Mages. The previous Dimension Beast, dignified and powerful, with Hiludi, dared not tread into Dimensional Space.

Now the Monarch is breaking through repeatedly, being bounced back, breaking through again, and being bounced back—ignoring any dimensional rifts or space turbulence.

It should be noted, such space turbulence is powerful enough to explode Durken’s Life Box, but for the Monarch, it’s merely an itch. He traveled from Endless Space to the Ancestor Cemetery this way, and now he’s coming here using the same method.

"No need, no need, such a small matter doesn’t need Your Majesty to make a move. If Your Majesty acted now, the Ancient Man Snake might resort to extreme measures in desperation." Anthony quickly said.

Anthony’s mission... The mission is Little Angel’s, but since she’s Ange’s biological offspring, her affairs are Ange’s, and Ange’s affairs are Anthony’s, so it falls to Anthony to find a solution.

Little Angel’s mission is to help Little Tree Man break free from the Ancient Man Snake’s control, which obviously can’t be solved by force. The Ancient Man Snake is already facing the first crisis, seeking aid everywhere. If another Star Skeleton arises and, in desperation, it adopts a ’If I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it’ mentality and kills the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, there’ll be trouble.

Little Tree Man and Little Fireman are one; to hatch the consciousness of the God Star, a healthy Tree of Ten Thousand Realms is needed. Currently, the tree isn’t healthy, so the Little Fireman cannot control the God Star. Without the consciousness of God Star, it isn’t truly a God Star. Everything is interconnected and can’t be recklessly chopped.

"So bothersome." The Monarch said irritably, "If I can’t chop people, then I won’t come."

"Your Majesty, you are our strongest combat force now. Please don’t act hastily." After calming the Monarch, Anthony turned to the Little Fireman and said, "Come, take us to where the Ancient Man Snake hid the Star Flame. We’ll steal all the Star Flame and see what it uses for bounty."

The Little Fireman covered the Little Zombie’s head and also covered Little Tree Man, extending its finger and pointing in a certain direction.

Everyone followed its guidance, advancing along tree branches, reaching the trunk.

Following the trunk downwards, they left the tree crown and entered the trunk area without leaves to conceal them, where guards were gradually increasing. By the time they reached the area where Olette previously dug for White Crystal, progress had become nearly impossible.

"Why are there so many guards now? I see several Ancient Man Snakes, albeit smaller ones; does this mean there’s more than one Ancient Man Snake?" Negris asked frantically.

"Probably due to Ge Castle, the Ancient Man Snake’s powers are fully mobilized. As for those, they might be the offspring of the Ancient Man Snake." Anthony replied.

Ange, who hadn’t spoken while fiddling with the Space-Time Chessboard, suddenly looked up and said, "They are Puppet Snakes."
