Chapter 2231 Arriving at the Battlefield

“Whoosh!!”

When the spatial fluctuation appeared again, the Licker once again burst out from it, already crossing a large swampy area ahead, just less than 10 meters away from the Wood tribe!

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!!”

A large number of Lickers leaped out from the spatial rift, emitting beast-like roars, pouncing towards the guards of the Wood tribe.

The defensive line arranged by the Wood tribe in front was torn apart in an instant!

Once they approached the enemy, the Lickers immediately revealed their sharp fangs!

“Ka! Ka! Ka…!”

The sharp claws and teeth of the Lickers scraped across the bodies of the Wood tribe, emitting a very dry sound.

It sounded more like the scratching of claws on granite.

The defense ability of the Wood tribe was considered the highest among the four major races, and they even had some degree of melee capability. Upon regaining their senses, they quickly condensed wooden spears to counterattack, attempting to fend off the approaching Lickers.

But compared to long-range spells, the melee ability of the Wood tribe was significantly inferior.

The entire tree spirit tribe was not adept at melee combat!

Many spells required maintaining a safe distance for casting.

Once the distance was closed, panic set in, the lack of casting space, and the guards of the Wood tribe immediately fell into a disadvantage, with a significant decrease in attack intensity.

Similarly, although the Lickers seemed to have a great advantage, it was also difficult for them to inflict substantial damage on the Wood tribe in a short time through melee attacks.

The hardened skin of the Wood tribe was extremely tough.

The two sides were immediately entangled in a fierce battle.

Seeing the two sides once again fall into a stalemate, Fang Heng took out a pair of high-tier tactical goggles from his backpack.

These were psychic weapons developed by the Federation, capable of better converting psychic strength into mind control abilities.

Like grabbing objects remotely!

Let’s see how it performs in real combat!

Fang Heng put on the goggles, concentrated his mental strength, and aimed at one of the Wood tribe members fighting the Lickers.

“Whoosh!”

A Wood tribe member was influenced by Fang Heng’s psychic control, and his body was lifted uncontrollably into the air.

The Wood tribe immediately sensed something and turned to look toward Fang Heng’s concealed position, raising their hands as several small wooden spikes flew toward him.

“Humph!”

Fang Heng snorted lightly and dodged aside.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!”

The wooden spikes exploded one after another on the trees behind him.

At the same time, Fang Heng lost control of the Wood tribe.

“Useless skill…”

Fang Heng complained.

Even after reaching mid-tier, psychic abilities still had poor actual combat effectiveness and were easily interrupted by enemies.

It was nowhere near as easy as controlling the blood of enemies in vampire form.

After a simple attempt, Fang Heng gave up on using psychic abilities to intervene in the battle.

It was easier to control blood.

So Fang Heng continued to manipulate blood to intervene in the battle.

Just as the targeted Wood tribe member broke free from psychic control, as soon as he landed, he suddenly frowned.

A very strange sensation.

His blood seemed to be influenced by some force, accelerating its flow uncontrollably!

He had to hold his breath and concentrate, trying to control the anomaly in his body.

But it was ineffective!

Meanwhile, Lickers swarmed towards him from all sides!

“Nice effect.”

Fang Heng watched as the Wood tribe’s HP slowly depleted under the combined assault of blood burning and the Licker swarm, preparing to find the next victim. A message from the Federal command team came through his earpiece.

“Dr. Fang, our teams have gradually arrived at the battlefield and are currently surrounding you from behind to assist. The situation up ahead is intense, please be careful not to be accidentally injured.”

“Understood!”

Here they come!

Fang Heng’s mind raced. Handling the Wood tribe alone was too inefficient. Fortunately, the Federation had arrived. He could observe their actions.

This time, the Federation’s operation was entirely different from the adaptability test just now.

The Federation directly dispatched a mixed team of psychics and semi-mechanized units for combat.

During this time, the human Federation had been constantly provoked by the tree spirit tribe, almost being stepped on their face by them.

The Federation soldiers were all holding back their anger.

“Charge!”

The semi-mechanized units arrived first, aiming their beam weapons.

The psychic warriors concealed in the forest took cover and began remote spiritual piercing.

The Wood tribe, currently engaged in combat with the Licker swarm, found it difficult to pay attention to the situation behind them. Suddenly, they were affected by spiritual piercing, freezing stiffly as if their minds went blank, standing still.

Seizing the moment when the Wood tribe was stunned, the semi-mechanized units launched a coordinated long-range attack!

The dense beams burst the controlled tree spirit members one by one!

With the Licker swarm in the front and the Federation’s psychic players assisting with control, along with the Federation’s semi-mechanized troops outputting firepower from the rear, the tree spirit tribe members were burst one by one!

The slaughter speed increased significantly!

Fang Heng couldn’t help but nod in approval.

It seemed that using multiple types of units in coordination was the correct approach.

Fang Heng spoke into his communicator, “The Wood tribe guards this area tightly and has not retreated yet. They are likely delaying the time for reinforcements. I’ll leave this to you. I’ll sneak in to investigate. Be careful.”

Without waiting for a response from the command post, Fang Heng swiftly darted toward the depths of the forest.

Inside the command post, everyone watched the image of Fang Heng rapidly advancing on the screen, shaking their heads helplessly.

They didn’t bother trying to dissuade him anymore.

Anyway, they understood that Fang Heng wouldn’t listen to them.

Minister Ray nodded, “Understood! Dr. Fang, please be extremely careful and ensure your safety.”

After several waves of battle, the Federation had gained a further understanding of Fang Heng’s overall strength. They knew that with Fang Heng’s abilities, at least self-preservation wouldn’t be an issue.

Fang Heng once again entered the secondary space projection, swiftly passing by the tree spirit tribe engaged in battle.

Until he reached the rear area guarded by the tree spirit tribe.

Passing through areas obscured by dense branches and leaves, Fang Heng saw an ancient giant tree emerging in the forest.

And at the center of the giant tree…

A temple?

Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched slightly.

It was a building in the style of the tree spirit tribe.

The entire temple seemed to be dug out from the center of the giant tree.

Or rather, the temple was built inside the hollowed-out giant tree.

It seemed that the temple had been established for at least several decades.

But the external giant tree still maintained ample vitality, emitting a natural aura under the sunlight.

Fang Heng concealed himself in the bushes and observed for a moment.

“Temple of Incantation…”

Fang Heng murmured to himself.

He remembered seeing several similar tree spirit tribe buildings when collecting related information.

Many Temples of Incantation, after being renovated by the human Federation, even became modern tourist attractions.

So at that time, neither he nor Sandy paid much attention to them.

The Federal command center also saw the temple clearly through the miniature camera embedded in the communicator.
