Chapter 2256 Delivery
“This trip has been so smooth, all thanks to Fang Heng’s help. Besides assisting us in dealing with the monsters in the dimensional world, he has always been quite knowledgeable about magic arrays. He believes there’s a way to upgrade and improve our magic array, increasing its operational efficiency.”
“Really?”
Farouk couldn’t help but give Fang Heng another glance. It was indeed strange how Ovi managed to retrieve the sacrificial jar so quickly.
Was it because of Fang Heng?
But the magic array of the tree spirit clan has been passed down since ancient times. Could it really be further improved?
It seemed somewhat unbelievable.
Farouk looked at Fang Heng with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
It made one think that Fang Heng might have ulterior motives.
“Yes,” Fang Heng nodded. “I can find a way to further adjust and enhance the magic array, but I need more information related to it, including diagrams and ritual procedures.”
Farouk’s brow furrowed slightly.
He hesitated.
In the past, not to mention borrowing information related to magic arrays, if a human had proposed entering the dimensional world, he would have likely slapped them out without a second thought.
What a joke!
When did humans become qualified to enter the dimensional world?
But times had changed, and now was a critical moment for each clan to compete for victory in nurturing the sacred tree. Fang Heng had already entered the dimensional world twice and had proven to be helpful.
Why not let him try?
Fang Heng, unaware of Farouk’s thoughts, looked up at him.
Just completing a special mission had increased Farouk’s friendship by 10 points, so there wasn’t any immediate hostility.
Moreover, this cooperation was advantageous to the Leaf tribe and theoretically had a chance of success.
If they could obtain the operational manuals for the magic array, they wouldn’t need to figure things out themselves. It would be a smooth 100% activation of the magic array!
Wouldn’t that be delightful?
After a moment’s thought, Farouk made a decision, shaking his head. “No, we can allow sharing of the leaf tribe’s magic array documentation, but the ones related to the sacred tree saplings must remain strictly confidential. Only the leaf tribe approved by the Elders Council is allowed access to this information. I can only apologize for that.”
Well, if they couldn’t deceive him, they would have to figure it out themselves.
Fang Heng felt a bit disappointed but still put on a smile, saying somewhat insincerely, “It was presumptuous of me. Being able to borrow some of the magic array documentation is already good enough. I will still try my best to optimize the magic array as much as possible.”
“Also, regarding the white frost stone, it’s an essential ore for entering the dimensional world. We must quickly acquire more from the Federation. We’re in competition with the three major tribes, so there’s no room for error.”
“Of course, I’ve already contacted the Federation, and if everything goes smoothly, the white frost stone should be on its way. It’s expected to arrive tomorrow.”
“Well, you’ve all worked hard. You’re tired, so go rest.”
Farouk waved his hand.
Fang Heng squinted and asked, “Elder, the people from the three major tribes outside haven’t retreated yet. Are you sure everything is fine?”
“Humph,” Farouk snorted confidently. “With me here, they won’t be able to break through this defense with their abilities.”
With the replenishment of dimensional energy and the strength of the sacred tree sapling, resisting the attacks from the three tribes outside the Temple of Incantation was hardly worth mentioning to him!
“I see. Then I’ll take my leave.”
Fang Heng shrugged, thinking it was pointless.
The three major tribes seemed threatening, but why didn’t they pose any pressure to the Leaf tribe?
Oh well.
Ovi and Fang Heng nodded together, retreating from the central hall.
Fang Heng pondered. Since the three major tribes had been repelled, the chances of seizing the sacred tree sapling were probably slim. Now, he thought of trying to pursue the fleeing members of the remaining three tribes. Perhaps he could gain some additional benefits.
That’s it.
He would seize the opportunity to kill a few patriarchs, gather more Nature’s Heart Crystals, sacrificial jars, Leaves of Life, or upgrade crystals.
Walking alongside Ovi, he contemplated handing over several books on magic arrays entrusted by the Elders Council to Fang Heng, and perhaps inquire about Fang Heng’s knowledge of magic arrays.
“Fang Heng,” Ovi began.
“Hmm? What is it?”
Fang Heng was about to ask when suddenly, he sensed something and furrowed his brows.
What?
“Boom!!!”
The entire hall suddenly resounded with a violent boom, followed by intense shaking beneath their feet!
What’s happening?!
“Oh no! Something’s wrong!”
Ovi’s expression changed drastically as he immediately turned and hurried towards the rear hall.
Fang Heng, seeing the situation, quickly followed Ovi, turning back towards the rear hall.
Pushing open the doors of the central hall of the Temple of Incantation, they saw Farouk, whose face had turned extremely pale, standing in front of the central magic array. The once verdant sacred tree sapling in his hand now showed signs of withering!
The magic array was still spinning rapidly!
Meanwhile, the dimensional energy in the vessel of sacrifice was rapidly depleting!
What’s going on?
Fang Heng furrowed his brows tightly.
It looked extremely dire!
Ovi was greatly shocked and hurriedly approached, calling out, “Elder Farouk!”
“Pfft!”
Farouk’s pupils contracted suddenly, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood!
“Don’t come any closer!”
Farouk forcefully stopped Ovi, who was about to step forward.
“Elder…”
Farouk seemed to have suffered a severe blow, visibly aging within minutes. He forced himself to speak, “The Temple of Incantation is under a powerful external attack, judging from its intensity, it’s highly likely the remnant branches of the sacred tree, no, it must be the remnant branches of the sacred tree, only they possess such capability.”
The remnant branches of the sacred tree.
It’s the Soul tribe!
The soul tribe actually brought the remnant branches of the sacred tree!
That’s the holy weapon of the tree spirit clan!
No wonder the sacred tree sapling couldn’t resist.
What should they do?
Ovi’s mind went blank for a moment, panic making him somewhat at a loss, “Elder… What… What should we do…”
Farouk looked at Ovi and the remaining people in the hall, and said in a deep voice, “The power of the remnant branches of the sacred tree is formidable. With our current capabilities, we absolutely cannot resist. I am too injured to move for long, but I can still maintain the operation of the magic array for a while. Take advantage of this opportunity. I need you to immediately escort the sacred tree sapling away! Ovi, it’s up to you. Take them and escort the sapling away!”
A prompt quickly appeared in Fang Heng’s retinas.
[Hint: The player triggered a special side mission-Escorting the sacred tree sapling.]
Mission name: Escorting the sacred tree sapling.
Mission description: Elder Farouk has been severely injured and can no longer maintain the sacred tree sapling. Please immediately escort the sacred tree sapling out of the Temple of Incantation.
Mission reward: Leaf tribe friendship, Leaf tribe reputation, Leaf tribe contribution points, tree spirit clan reputation.
“Let’s go! Leave through the back door. I’ll continue to control the magic array to buy you time. Don’t delay!”
