Chapter 2315 Making a Move
Until the red glow emanating from the Prayer Temple gradually subsided, Serge looked up again.
Accompanied by a cluster of vampires, Fang Heng emerged from the temple.
After more than 30 hours of effort, his dimensional strength had increased by three grades. He felt quite satisfied with the results.
Noticing Serge waiting at the entrance, Fang Heng thought to himself and immediately put on a smile. He asked, “Elder Serge, what a coincidence. I was just about to come find you. Are you ready to deal with the Wood tribe?”
“We’re here for that very reason.” Serge’s gaze focused on Fang Heng, nodding. “Everything is prepared. We’re ready to move.”
“Then let’s go.”
…
Since the Federation’s spiritual domain network blockade failed, there has been an absolute reversal in the overall strength between the tree spirit tribe and humanity. As a result, the actions of various clans within the tree spirit tribe have become increasingly bold.
Except for the Soul tribe’s hidden habitat, the locations of the habitats of the other three major tribes are now openly exposed to humanity. None of the tribes have any intention of hiding.
The power fluctuations released during the cultivation of the sacred tree were immense. There is no need to waste time concealing them. Everything is aimed at nurturing the sapling of the sacred tree as quickly as possible.
Even temporary cooperation with humans is deemed acceptable.
At the periphery of the Wood tribe’s habitat, guards remain concealed within outposts, maintaining a vigilant watch day and night without relaxation.
Rumors abound that the Leaf tribe suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of humans a couple of days ago. This news is a great relief to the Wood tribe, who have historically been at odds with the Leaf tribe.
This incident quickly became a topic of casual conversation among the Wood tribe.
Naturally, they do not wish to become the next target of attack. Consequently, the Wood tribe has bolstered its security measures.
Eh?
A Wood tribe guard suddenly noticed something, looking up towards the dense forest in the distance with a serious expression.
What was that?
Seeing a red blur darting out from the thickets, the Wood tribe guard’s heart skipped a beat.
No way?!
They jinxed it!
“Oh no! Enemy attack!”
From the depths of the distant forest, crimson life forms surged out from the cracks in the primeval forest, charging toward their habitat!
That’s right! It’s the Lickers!
Immediate alarms echoed through the habitat.
A pale blue defensive barrier deployed, as numerous Wood tribe guards rushed from within the habitat to reinforce. Nature arrows were swiftly unleashed from a distance into the oncoming horde of Lickers.
The results were terribly ineffective!
The Wood tribe guards quickly realized the terrifying vitality of the Licker horde.
The periphery of the habitat trembled violently as the primeval forest, home to the towering ancient trees, seemed to come to life. Giant trees uprooted themselves and staggered forward, interposing themselves horizontally in front of the oncoming horde of Lickers!
This was the Wood tribe’s most adept skill—summoning the tree people!
Traditionally, the Wood tribe’s tactic involved using these massive tree people to block the front lines while employing spell arrows from the rear ranks.
However, this time, things took a different turn.
The Licker horde wasted no time and immediately charged at the tree people!
Due to their immense size, the Lickers clambered up the tree people’s bodies upon reaching them, latching on and ferociously slashing with their razor-sharp claws.
The sharp claws swiftly tore through the thick bark defenses of the tree people!
Wood tribe guards watched in horror as the scene unfolded.
The Lickers’ attack power far exceeded their expectations!
Coupled with their terrifying numbers!
As the Lickers overwhelmed the tree people, clawing wildly at their trunks, it became evident that a single guard of the tree people would soon be annihilated.
What’s more terrifying, in the distance, a vast sea of scarlet Lickers surged forward like an unstoppable tide, seemingly without end.
“Quick! Fall back!”
The Wood tribe guards continued firing natural arrows to repel the Lickers while swiftly retreating toward the barrier of their habitat.
“Use the wood tendrils! Trap them!”
Immediately, countless small roots extended from the ground, rapidly spreading forward. Once they reached the feet of the Lickers, they would immediately ensnare and entangle them.
The effect was decent.
Most of the Lickers were caught and struggled for a while before breaking free.
However, using the entanglement skill extensively drained the Wood tribe’s mental strength significantly.
The vitality of the Licker horde was terrifying. Even though they were temporarily trapped, the Wood tribe still had no effective method to deal with them.
Wait, what now?
The Wood tribe suddenly noticed that the Lickers entangled by vines were rapidly condensing into flesh cocoons right where they stood.
Swiftly expanding, these flesh cocoons almost instantly broke free from most of the vine restraints.
It was the fusion Tyrant form!
Different from normal Lickers, the fusion Tyrant form was a large-bodied creature with additional strength attributes.
Suddenly, the vines entwining their feet were forcibly torn apart by the fusion Tyrant forms!
“Watch out! They’re getting closer!”
Watching the external defensive line being gradually torn apart by the Fusion Tyrant Forms, the Wood tribe guards were deeply alarmed.
Moments ago, they were mocking the Leaf tribe. Now, faced with the reality, they realized just how difficult Lickers were to deal with!
“Quick! Fall back!”
The guards retreated behind the barrier of their habitat and resumed their battle stance.
The Fusion Tyrant Forms began to swing their fists, pounding fiercely on the defensive barrier of the habitat.
In the depths of the primeval forest, Serge watched the unfolding battle ahead with growing unease. Two days ago, their Leaf tribe habitat had faced a similar crisis. He couldn’t shake the feeling that these Lickers were even stronger than those that had attacked the Leaf tribe.
Was it an illusion?
Or had these creatures truly grown more powerful in just two days?
Serge couldn’t help but turn to look at Fang Heng. If it was the latter, then it was truly terrifying. The Wood tribe was struggling to deal with the Licker horde, suffering casualties, while Fang Heng seemed to have dispatched over a hundred Lickers with relative ease.
He now understood the decision of the Great Elder Senzo. Engaging in prolonged conflict with Fang Heng was clearly unwise. If only Fang Heng could be controlled or persuaded to ally with the Leaf tribe…
“It’s coming.”
Serge sensed something and looked up towards the central area of the Wood tribe habitat. A dark cyan light rose into the sky, illuminating the surroundings. Sparkling lights adhered to every Wood tribe guard within the habitat.
Instantly, the strength of all Wood tribe guards surged dramatically.
Several chief guards led their tribesmen in a fierce counterattack.
Simultaneously, the Fusion Tyrant Forms that had been assaulting the outer defensive barrier of the Wood tribe habitat reverted to their Licker forms and swiftly retreated.
Serge couldn’t help but glance at Fang Heng beside him.
Two days ago, Fang Heng had employed similar tactics against the Leaf tribe, now repeated with the Wood tribe. It was a nauseating strategy.
Serge now found himself feeling a mix of emotions. It wasn’t that the Leaf tribe was weak; it was that the enemy was cunning. The suffering endured by the Leaf tribe seemed destined to repeat itself elsewhere.
