Chapter 2322 Change of Mind
Eh?
“What’s going on?”
Seeing an inexplicable message in the game log, Fang Heng was confused.
How strange. Why was the sapling of the sacred tree able to absorb the pollution in his body?
Unfortunately, the sacred tree sapling absorbed only a small portion of the pollution, causing it to cease its energy absorption immediately. Subsequently, it descended into an even more chaotic and unstable state.
For Fang Heng, the weakened power of ‘Jealousy’ was just a drop in the ocean, proving futile.
However, the transformation of the sacred tree was profound.
After absorption of the energy, a thick black mist seeped out of the sacred tree sapling!
Fang Heng was momentarily confused about the situation. He dared not approach too closely, quickly stepping back a few paces while cautiously observing the sapling.
It appeared that the sapling had been stimulated by the pollution of the “Seed of Jealousy” within him, plunging into an unstable state.
Under the release of copious black fog, in the blink of an eye, the area around the sacred tree sapling became the densest domain of the black fog.
At this point, Shamuk could no longer see the sapling’s location with his naked eyes.
Everyone was sweating profusely with nerves, feeling intensely nervous.
The magic array had completely gone out of control!
So had the sacred tree sapling!
Fang Heng kept his eyes fixed on the sacred tree sapling.
It seemed… plans couldn’t keep up with the changes.
Though unclear what was happening, this wave of black fog seemed fiercer than before.
But this was his chance!
Since it had come to this, he might as well go all out!
Within the black fog, Fang Heng swiftly retreated under its cover.
He did it!
Whoosh!
A crimson sparkle flashed at Fang Heng’s brow.
The red light spot rapidly levitated into the air, condensing into an imprint.
A teleportation gate for vampires!
Whoosh!!!
A scarlet portal appeared in midair!
The red teleportation passage even forcibly dispersed a small area of black fog around it.
In the next moment, the Vampire King Carl burst out from the teleportation passage.
“Huh? What’s going on here?”
Behind Carl floated a slab of alchemical stone. Stepping out of the teleportation gate, he saw the world shrouded in black fog and became alert.
“Carl, I’ll handle the enemies! You set up and activate the Abe Akaya magic array directly beneath the vampire teleportation gate! Be cautious of the pollution.”
“Yes, sir!”
Upon hearing the King’s command, Carl immediately reacted and dashed towards the vampire teleportation gate directly below.
Meanwhile, outside the Wood tribe’s habitat, Serge was closely monitoring the interior of the Wood tribe’s habitat.
It seemed like the plan set up by Great Elder Senzo was successful.
Next, once the polluted power within the sacred tree seed was exhausted, then at that time, the blocking ability of the polluted mist would completely fail.
The Council of Elders of the Wood tribe immediately teleported back through their mark teleportation to provide reinforcement.
It was time for Fang Heng’s demise!
The Great Elder’s plan was flawless!
Serge’s eyes gleamed with eagerness, eagerly anticipating Fang Heng’s demise.
Huh?
Suddenly, Serge frowned.
He noticed that the group of vampires nearby, who had been left behind, were suddenly disappearing one by one through their spatial abilities.
Strange, where did they go?
For some reason, Sarge had a bad premonition.
He observed for a moment.
With the plan progressing to this point, Serge had intended to find a way to evacuate immediately. With both the vampires and Fang Heng absent, it was undoubtedly his best chance to leave.
But Serge couldn’t shake a feeling that something was amiss.
He had an inexplicable premonition as if something was beyond his control.
Inside the Leaf tribe’s habitat, within the passage leading to the cultivation area of the sacred tree, Klonor and his subordinates were cautiously casting purification spells of the natural element, clearing the pollution aura and zombie teams from the passage.
What?!
Suddenly, Klonor perceived a warning sign.
Raising his head, he saw dense black fog pouring out from deeper within the passage in the distance!
High concentrations of pollution!
Klonor’s expression changed drastically, shouting, “Fall back!”
The Wood tribe members inside the passage immediately turned and fled madly towards the exit until they were outside the passage.
“Boom!!!”
The next moment, black pollution overflowed from the passage opening, spreading outward in an instant.
In an instant, a thin layer of black fog covered the entire interior of the Wood tribe’s habitat.
As they turned back, they saw the passage still emitting dense black fog, their eyes filled with fear.
Klonor’s heart was gripped with unease.
He could almost be certain that something had gone wrong with the sacred tree sapling!
But in this situation, they were utterly unable to enter for rescue in the short term!
…
In the cultivation area of the sacred tree sapling,
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!”
Amidst chaotic darkness, numerous Lickers lunged towards the remaining Wood tribe guards.
Under attack from the Lickers, the natural shields of the ordinary Wood tribe guards triggered repeatedly, but they quickly succumbed as they couldn’t withstand the onslaught.
The dense pollution aura from the black fog permeated their bodies through their skin.
Even the Wood tribe couldn’t escape the effects of pollution, gradually succumbing to corruption.
Under the relentless assault of zombie creatures, Shamuk and the two other elders managed to hold out for a moment. However, their perception was severely suppressed to the limit, relying only on the occasional black-and-white glow emitted by the sacred tree and the blood-red illumination in the air to orient themselves.
“Break through that! That’s their core!”
Dimly seeing numerous Lickers continuously pouring out from the blood-red teleportation passage, Shamuk quickly communicated with the other two elders through mental strength.
“Let’s go together!”
Shamuk, along with the two elders, exerted all their strength to break through the Lickers in front of them, swiftly approaching the direction of the teleportation gate, and attempting to break through the vampire teleportation gate.
“Ha, you’re dreaming!”
A cold snort echoed in Shamuk’s ears.
“Whoosh!!!”
Fang Heng’s figure burst out from the dense black fog, delivering a powerful punch straight towards Shamuk.
“I’ve been waiting for you!!”
The three elders, including Shamuk, had orchestrated this move precisely to lure Fang Heng into revealing himself!
As Fang Heng appeared, the three elders simultaneously gathered their hands in front of them, forming an imprint.
Wood thorn seal!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”
In an instant, densely packed dark wood thorns condensed around Fang Heng, converging from all directions towards him.
Each dark wood thorn carried an intensely concentrated ripple of power!
The collective force of all the wood thorns blocked every retreat and advance route for Fang Heng.
There was no escape!
Even space itself seemed sealed off!
Fang Heng’s pupils contracted sharply.
These three Wood tribe elders, led by Shamuk, were truly formidable opponents!
It was only now that Fang Heng realized their hurried and panicked demeanor earlier was deliberately staged to mislead him, causing him to misjudge the situation and provoke him into attacking.
What a shame.
A hint of disdain curled Fang Heng’s lips.
With so many zombie clones around to absorb damage for him, could they take him down in seconds!?
Since there was no way to avoid it, he decided not to dodge!
Fang Heng directly confronted the densely converging piercing attacks, striking forward with a powerful punch!
