Chapter 2139  Judgment

The security there was more than one level higher than here!

Could it be a diversion?

Stealing the Water of Life and luring them here was just a decoy?

Interesting!

Combined with the previous theft of a large number of branches and dead trees of the sacred tree…

Ji Haiting felt that he could already make a judgment.

Tree spirits!

Fang Heng was most likely in cahoots with the tree spirits.

They wanted to break through the seal of the spiritual domain!

What a joke!

Did he think he could succeed just like that?

“Notify them to enter the highest level of emergency status. Also, open the emergency transition transmission channel. I need to go there immediately.”

“Understood!”

At this moment, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei had just left the research institute via the spatial teleportation scroll.

The internal defense level of the research institute was much lower than he had expected.

Reflecting on it, Fang Heng felt that even without deploying the phantom shadow rat, he could still successfully complete the mission with the abilities of the Lickers.

Effortlessly.

The two stood on the rooftop, gazing into the distance at the central Science and Technology Building.

Fang Heng had previously absorbed all the Water of Life stored in the laboratory’s warehouse, and his advanced natural science level rose to Level 21.

The harvest was not bad.

However, the next step was a little troublesome.

According to the original plan, the tree spirits would help them evacuate and then they would return to the town together.

At this point, things were pretty much wrapped up, but there was no sign of the tree spirit folks anywhere.

What the hell?

Mo Jiawei was also a little confused. He could not help but guess, “Could it be that the tree spirits were unlucky and were affected?”

“Yes, that’s possible.”

“Eh? Look over there. Strange, why did they retreat so quickly?” Mo Jiawei looked at the building’s outer perimeter and could not help but find it strange. He muttered softly, “Why didn’t they investigate thoroughly…”

Fang Heng followed Mo Jiawei’s gaze and looked down. He saw that the federal soldiers and company guards outside the OmniTech Company building had begun to retreat one after another.

“Indeed, it’s a little strange.”

Fang Heng looked in the direction of the Science and Technology Building and nodded gently, “Forget it, I don’t care anymore. The mission has been completed. Let’s split up first. I’ll take the Water of Life back to hand in the mission first.”

“Okay, then I’ll stay here and observe for a while longer. I’ll wait for the tree spirits to receive me. Later, I’ll try to ask around outside and get some information.”

“Alright.”

After a brief discussion, Fang Heng immediately switched to his bat form, leaped forward, and quickly returned to the town.

…

After advancing to the Vampire King bloodline, the speed of the vampire’s bat form had increased significantly.

It took Fang Heng less than an hour to return to the town from the city.

In the temporary warehouse, Sandy was holding a few books and loudly discussing the new discovery with Cleriway and the others. When he saw Fang Heng return, he immediately stopped and cast a glance at him.

“So fast? Did you get the item?”

“Yes, I got it.”

Fang Heng nodded and glanced at the excited Sandy. He trotted to the pile of withered branches of the sacred tree in the warehouse and asked casually, “Why are you so excited? Did you find something?”

“Heh, I found a lot of information related to the Inner World.”

Sandy had not slept for two nights in a row, spending these days researching the books obtained from the tree spirit race. Despite the lack of sleep, his spirits were high, and he enthusiastically said, “It’s impossible to fabricate a world with so many intricate rules just by imagination alone. I’m certain that the Inner World mentioned by the tree spirit race truly exists.”

While talking, Sandy had already come over, “Let’s not talk about this, Fang Heng. The tree spirit said that he would come, but there has been no sign of him. Should I go and find Mr. Yule to urge him again?”

“Let’s not wait for him.”

From the bottom of his heart, Fang Heng did not like the arrogant tree spirit.

It would be best if he did not come!

Fang Heng took out a bucket of Water of Life from his backpack. He looked at Cleriway and nodded, “Cleriway, try it.”

“Wow, this is the Water of Life?”

Sandy’s eyes lit up, and he circled the bucket of the Water of Life twice, “Why does it feel like something’s not right? Why are you using this thing to package it? Isn’t it a little cheap?”

“Alright.”

Cleriway nodded and trotted up from Gu Qingzhu’s side obediently to check the Water of Life in the bucket.

Sandy strenuously opened the lid of the bucket.

Under the perception of natural forces, Cleriway’s eyes flickered with surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

Cleriway hesitated and frowned, “Brother Fang Heng, something doesn’t seem right. I’m not sure. I need to try again.”

“It’s okay. Just try. It doesn’t matter if you fail.”

“Yes.”

Cleriway Bobbed and touched the bucket.

A layer of light green life force instantly surrounded the water bucket. It slowly floated in the air and gradually floated toward the branch of the sacred tree.

It arrived above the withered tree branch of the sacred tree.

“Chi, chi chi…”

The bucket gradually tilted.

The Water of Life in the bucket was slowly poured onto the branch of the sacred tree.

Immediately, the branch of the sacred tree let out a faint hissing sound.

Cleriway trotted forward and pressed her hands on the dead wood. A faint green light bloomed from her hands.

The light lasted for more than a minute.

Cleriway retracted her hand and shook her head. She looked at Fang Heng and said, “Brother Fang Heng, we failed.”

“Yes, do you know the reason? Does it mean that the tree spirit race is the only one who can revive the branches of the sacred tree?”

“It’s possible, but it’s strange that the withered tree shows no response to the Water of Life,” Cleriway furrowed her brow, pondering, “I suspect that the Water of Life has no effect on the recovery of the withered tree.”

“What? How could this be? It doesn’t make sense!”

After hearing it, Sandy instantly reacted and looked at Fang Heng, saying, “Mr. Fang, you didn’t make a mistake, did you? Isn’t this the Water of Life?”

“No, there’s no problem with the Water of Life.”

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

The game had already given him a clear notification that he had obtained the Water of Life, and the mission on him had also shown that it was ready to be submitted.

Therefore, there was no problem with the Water of Life itself.

What was the problem?

Either there was something wrong with Cleriway’s judgment…

Or…

Fang Heng’s eyes gradually turned sharp.

The tree spirits who had agreed to meet had yet to appear.

It seemed suspicious.

There was a high chance that the problem lay with the tree spirit!

Fang Heng asked, “Is there still no news from the tree spirit?”

“Nope.”

“What about Mr. Yule?”

“Mr. Yule is as usual. I just saw him walking around in the garden.”

Walking around in the garden?

Fang Heng frowned and instantly sensed something unusual.

Given Mr. Yule’s respectful attitude towards the tree spirit race, would it be reasonable to assume that he would rush over eagerly to welcome them if the tree spirit came?

Walking around the garden?

It was abnormal.

“You guys stay here. Cleriway, come with me to see Mr. Yule.”

“Alright.”
