Chapter 2325 Devour
“Abe Akaya! Accelerate! Accelerate to the fastest! Swallow for me! Time is limited! Take in as much as you can!”
Abe Akaya, sensing Fang Heng’s mental strength perception, knew the opportunity was fleeting. Immediately, it exerted full effort to accelerate its absorption!
Under the influence of the black fog, the magic array on the ground formed a rapidly spinning vortex!
The roots of Abe Akaya vines rushed out of the vortex and gathered toward the sapling of the sacred tree, enveloping it and absorbing it rapidly!
Fang Heng gritted his teeth, exerting control over his mental strength to absorb the pollution power from the sapling of the sacred tree.
If he could endure for one more second, Abe Akaya could earn one more second!
At the same time, hundreds of meters away in a straight line from the cultivation hall passage outside the sacred tree, Klonor and the others retreated to another hall outside the passage.
After stabilizing, everyone utilized natural energy to purify the pollution aura within the passage.
Soon after, they saw Shamuk, heavily wounded, escaping from deep within the passage along with another clan elder.
“Elder Shamuk!”
Seeing Shamuk in such a miserable state, everyone was extremely shocked.
What exactly happened in the sacred tree cultivation area?
Shamuk raised his hand to stop two clan members from coming to assist. He looked up at Klonor with a serious expression and quickly summarized the situation in the sacred tree cultivation area, “We encountered intruders who used polluted strength that affected the sacred tree. The sacred tree is now extremely unstable. Where is the Great Elder? When will he return?”
Klonor’s heart sank. He replied, “He’s already on his way, at most five minutes.”
Five minutes.
Shamuk clenched his fists and turned around to stare at the area behind him.
He really wanted to rush in and take a look, but he couldn’t!
Klonor asked, “Was it the Leaf tribe?”
“It should be,” Shamuk replied, his heart filled with extreme wrath, almost biting his teeth in anger.
“The pollution outbreak has nothing to do with humans; it’s the Leaf tribe,” he continued with a cough.
In his fury, Shamuk’s internal injury flared up, causing him to cough and clutch his chest. He turned around and saw that the Leaf tribe guards were trying their best to purify the black fog and eliminate the Lickers.
Eh?
Suddenly, Shamuk let out a soft gasp.
It seemed like the strength of the black fog was rapidly diminishing.
What was going on?
Shamuk felt puzzled, and his growing sense of unease prompted him to glance at Klonor.
Their eyes briefly met in mid-air.
“Well, let’s go in and take a look.”
Seeing that the pollution density had significantly decreased and visibility had improved from less than half a meter to six or seven meters, Klonor immediately waved his hand and led his sharp team of subordinates into the passage to investigate.
“The enemy is very strong. Be careful!”
Along the way, there were still a few Lickers coming from the depths of the passage, slowing down everyone’s speed.
As they proceeded along the passage for nearly two minutes, both Shamuk and Klonor suddenly sensed something, their pupils narrowing in alarm.
The sensation of their perceptions being absorbed hit them once again!
Ahead in the depths of the passage, it felt like a void was swallowing up all their released perceptions!
This was bad!
Klonor’s expression changed drastically, and in a panic, he shouted, “Quick! Retreat!!!”
Once again, everyone quickly retreated to the passage they came from.
The next moment, a thick black fog swept over from the front!
The black fog was several times thicker than before!
Everyone quickly retreated from the passage.
“Boom!!!”
A dense black fog gushed out from the exit!
Everyone’s expression was solemn.
The black fog that kept gushing out showed no signs of stopping. As the density of the black fog was too high, it swiftly filled the entire rear hall!
“Retreat to the outside first!”
“Yes!”
Once Klonor and his group exited the passage, the high-concentration black fog pollution inside began to dissipate gradually.
Before the Wood tribe members could relax, they heard a hissing sound coming from the passage ahead.
Turning towards the noise, they saw a swarm of Lickers rushing out from the passage!
Here they come again!
Klonor’s voice was grave, “Attack! Stop them!”
The Wood tribe guards immediately moved forward to intercept the swarm of Lickers.
Shamuk stared at the depths of the passage. How did such a high concentration of black mist come about…
“Chi, chi chi chi…”
What was that?
Hearing the sizzling sound coming from the black fog, Shamuk couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
Bats?!
Only to see that from the passage, a blend of bats dispersed from the black fog, swiftly soaring into the sky and disappearing into the night.
Shamuk frowned deeply. He had never expected that Fang Heng himself would be mixed among this group of bats!
In mid-air, after escaping, Fang Heng instantly withdrew towards the outskirts of the Wood tribe settlement.
Reflecting on everything that had just occurred, Fang Heng could not help but feel regretful.
He forcefully used his mental strength to control the Seed of Jealousy’s contamination and withdrew it back into his body. He held it in for five minutes until Abe Akaya had assimilated most of the power of the sapling of the sacred tree.
After a while, he could not hold it in anymore. When he relaxed his mind, the polluted aura of the Seed of Jealousy flowed back like a flood.
Suddenly, the sapling of the sacred tree, now with only a fraction of its strength remaining, was instantly filled with a massive amount of contamination aura.
And then…
It exploded in front of his eyes.
“What a pity.”
It was truly a pity that he didn’t let Abe Akaya absorb all the energy from the sacred tree.
Speaking of which, he had no idea how much experience Abe Akaya had just absorbed.
Fang Heng only had the time to open the game log to observe after leaving the Wood tribe’s territory.
Found it!
The game log.
[Hint: The player has destroyed the sapling of the sacred tree completely. Current mission-Leaf tribe’s plan completion rate is 100%.]
[Hint: The player’s current main mission-trade with the Leaf tribe has reached 100%. Players can look for the Leaf tribe to complete the mission.]
[Hint: The player’s Abe Akaya has leveled up to Level 148.]
Not bad, not bad.
After a round of absorption, Abe Akaya’s level rose to Lvel 148.
Apart from that, it also assimilated an additional 10 million dimensional energy.
This was considered an additional gain.
Altogether, it completely offset the toil of his past half-month.
Not to mention he also scooped up an additional sacrificial jar and a Nature’s Heart Crystal.
The only regret was not finding any branches from the sacred tree.
With that thought in mind, Fang Heng glanced down below.
Next up, he needed to have a chat with that lad Serge.
They had agreed that the Leaf tribe would take advantage of the chaos to join the battlefield, but in the end, there was not even a shadow of them.
Needless to say, it was definitely intentional.
Fang Heng figured that the Leaf tribe had never intended to come themselves. They merely wanted to divert the attention of the Wood tribe and reap benefits outside.
This move had surely earned them a lot.
If they didn’t provide him with a satisfactory explanation and benefits that satisfied him, it wouldn’t be easy for them to get away with it.
Of course, if the leaf tribe was unwilling to comply…
…
In the outside world, the Federation and the Licker group’s sustained bombardment on the Wood tribe’s habitat continued.
Serge felt uneasy.
It was strange.
The polluted seed’s contained strength could not possibly sustain this long.
In theory, it should have ended long ago.
Why was the black mist still persisting?
What was happening on Fang Heng’s side?
