Chapter 1451 Became the New Ancient Vine
The old vine was forcibly dragged to Ang's front, and the puppet snake burrowed its roots into the ground, firmly binding it to the earth.
Throughout the entire process, the old vine kept struggling and cursing: "You idiot, I'm on your side, why are you grabbing me? Are you blind! You don't have eyes? If you don't have eyes, you won't recognize me, let me go, no, why can you move? Have you awakened your consciousness? Have you become a new ancient vine?"
The puppet snake responded half-heartedly until it was firmly bound to the ground, then turned to Ang and reported, "It tried to hide, I saw it, and caught it."
"It's hiding? Where is it hiding?" Negris asked curiously.
"On the divine tree." The puppet serpent stretched out a vine and pointed in the direction it had come from.
Negris turned to the sapling and asked, "Has the Tree of All Worlds noticed it?"
When they communicated with the little tree person, the sapling exclaimed "Ah!" and Ang translated, "No."
"It was hiding on the little tree-man and you didn't even notice? How is that possible? Little tree-man, check yourself, see if there's anything else hidden on you," Negris said in surprise.
This is no small matter. The Myriad Realms Tree is so large that it could easily hide millions of troops in its trunk and canopy. They cannot possibly inspect every gully and vein. If someone wants to hide, it will be very difficult to find them.
Ang and his group had been staying on the Tree of Myriad Realms for several years, while the shadow of the God Star, Kadiz, had been hiding for countless millennia and was completely undetectable.
Now that the little tree-man has reclaimed the Tree of Myriad Realms, if it can't even find the old vines hidden on its body, it won't be able to find anything even more terrifying, like the Lord of Stars.
The Tree of All Realms rustled, seemingly responding to Negris.
Anthony turned to the puppet snake curiously and asked, "Even the little tree people didn't notice it, how did you find it?"
“I watched it, it was hidden,” the puppet snake said.
"Pfft, that's really unlucky." Negris couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It could almost picture the scene: the giant serpent and the old vine were plotting loudly, but the puppet serpent overheard everything. Perhaps the puppet serpent's body was even used for their plot. Then it hid in front of the puppet serpent, and was dug out after the giant serpent left.
Seeing them chatting so familiarly, Old Vine was surprised: "You...you know each other?"
Its mind must be in a complete mess. How could this puppet snake know these people? It had watched these puppet snakes grow up, and they had never had any contact with these people since they hatched. How could it possibly know them?
Anthony turned to Old Vine and chuckled, "I know you too, Old Vine Butler. Why didn't the Guman Snake take you with it? Did it want you to infiltrate and act as its inside man?"
The old vine did not respond.
"You're not planning to stay silent and let us release you because we can't get anything out of you, are you?" Anthony asked in surprise.
The old rattan remained silent.
“I’ll give you one more minute to think about whether you want to answer the question or not. If you don’t answer, I’ll chop you up and use you as compost,” Anthony said.
Negris asked in confusion, "There's no air here, how can we compost?"
"Huh? Doesn't compost need to be sealed? No air is just right, right?" Anthony said uncertainly. He didn't really know much about farming. He only learned a little about composting because he had been with Ang for a long time, but he didn't know how to do it in detail.
“It needs to be sealed, but it can’t be without any air at all. Without air, various bacteria cannot survive, and it won’t ferment properly,” Negris said.
"Then what do we do?" Anthony winked and asked.
Negris understood immediately and said, "First, chop it up, find a closed space, mix it with the scraps and chicken, duck and fish manure, then inject air, seal it and let it ferment. Turn the pile over regularly."
As soon as Negris finished speaking, Ang rejected it: "It's too hot here, it won't ferment."
“Then we’ll have to drag it back to the prime plane. What a hassle. Forget it, let’s just chop it up first,” Negris said helplessly.
At this point, Anthony turned to the old cane and said, "One minute is up. Are you going to answer?"
The old vine tried to twist its body, but found it couldn't move. The puppet snake held it firmly, so it could only say reluctantly, "Yes, it told me to stay and investigate."
"Why is it so confident that you can fool the Tree of Myriad Realms?" Anthony asked, puzzled.
Once the little tree-man returns to its original form, its control over the Myriad Realms Tree will definitely far surpass that of the ancient serpent. The ancient serpent is merely a parasite and cannot control the Myriad Realms Tree at all. Therefore, when Ang and the others stayed in the tree canopy, the ancient serpent could not detect them at all.
But now that there is no Guman snake, only the Myriad Realms Divine Tree remains, how could it not discover the old vine lurking on its body?
Old Vine fell silent again. These top-tier individuals often prefer to remain silent when faced with things they don't want to confront. In Anthony's psychological profile, this reaction is called avoidant personality.
"Forget it, just chop it up. We won't get anything out of it anyway, it's all so vague and cryptic," Negris yelled.
The old vine said helplessly, "Because I am part of the Tree of Myriad Realms, I am a side branch."
"Huh? You're a side branch of the Tree of All Realms?" Everyone was shocked, and Negris's eyes widened even more.
Anthony asked in confusion, "Then how did you end up hanging out with the giant manta ray?"
"Because I was raised by it," the old vine explained simply.
Originally, the old vine was a side branch of the Tree of Myriad Realms. It was unconscious, but when the ancient serpent coiled around it, it happened to wrap around its position, entangled it with the Tree of Myriad Realms.
In this situation, the side branches either wither or break, but roots grow out.
At this point, Ang immediately understood what was going on, and Negris also understood. He patted his waist and said, "Air layering rooting method, didn't it just happen to wrap around the roots of your side branches, preventing nutrients from flowing back, so it rooted? It can be done like that? The Myriad Worlds Divine Tree can be propagated using this method?"
“It should be possible, didn’t the master cultivate the World Tree from a single diseased branch before?” Anthony said.
“It’s different. Ang uses diseased branches to produce fruit, and then uses the seeds to cultivate saplings of the World Tree. This is currently layering; once it grows roots, it can be directly propagated by cuttings,” Negrisven said.
"My roots took hold inside the giant serpent's body; it was it that sustained me. I don't know how much time passed, but I slowly regained consciousness," the old vine said.
"Your roots are embedded in the snake's body? Is this grafting? Or are you using it as a nutrient substrate?" Negris asked.
The old vine didn't understand what Negris was talking about. These were professional terms used by humans in planting. It was a side branch of the God of All Worlds and didn't know any of those terms.
Having figured out the origin of the old vine, Anthony decided not to delve any further and instead asked, "You just said that the Puppet Serpent has become the new Ancient Vine, what do you mean by that?"
