Chapter 2175 Preparation
Fang Heng swiftly faded into space, directly entering secondary space projection, and dashed through the battlefield towards the rearguard of the spawns!
"Pah..."
Fang Heng keenly noticed that as he entered the secondary space projection, the vine attached to his body fell to the ground.
Just as he suspected.
Raven couldn't follow him into the secondary space projection.
Not far away, the spawns, focused on dealing with the enemy, were about to react upon seeing the faint spatial fluctuations suddenly appearing before them.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, Fang Heng stepped out of the secondary space projection and raised his holy sword high, slashing forward!
"Bang!!!"
Cracks immediately appeared on the crystalline barrier in front of the spawns, and they were sent flying backward by the great sword!
Ignoring the spawns' reinforcements coming from all sides, Fang Heng focused on his attack, continuing to chase after his targets!
A classic tactic to deal with spawns: focus on killing one!
Seeing a human suddenly joining the battlefield and fighting so fiercely, the spawns in the rear were somewhat surprised for a moment.
Vannes couldn't help but feel puzzled as he turned to Senzo approaching him.
"Great Elder?"
Senzo looked at Fang Heng on the battlefield and said in a deep voice, "Go help him."
"Understood."
Vannes raised his hand in a signal.
At the rear, a row of tree spirit clansmen lifted their longbows and aimed at the distant spawns, releasing a volley of arrows.
For a moment, the dense barrage of arrows covered the spawns.
With the assistance of the tree spirit race, the pressure on Fang Heng diminished suddenly.
Now, it became much easier to continue chasing and killing the spawns one by one!
"Bang!!!"
The great holy sword shattered the outer defense of one of the spawns with a resounding boom.
Blood arrow!
The blood-colored long sword on his back exploded, instantly condensing into a blood spike!
"Chi!!!"
The blood spike fiercely pierced into the gemstone imprint in front of the spawn.
[Hint: The player kills the spawn. The player gains low-tier spirit gemstone*1 and 500 tree spirit camp contribution points.]
A spirit gemstone obtained!
In his grasp!
Fang Heng put away the gemstone and focused his gaze on the next spawn.
Continue!
...
The massacre lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended.
More than a dozen of spawns were slaughtered.
The surrounding spatial mechanical transition points of the Federation continued to condense intermittently. However, at this moment, various support teams of the tree spirit race were already in place. The transition points had not yet condensed when they were densely bombarded with arrows.
A string of game hints flashed on Fang Heng's retinas.
[Hint: The player has resisted the pursuit of the spawns. The next pursuit is expected to arrive in 9 hours. The player's current danger rating (internal rating of the spawns) has been raised to B-level.]
He crossed another threshold.
Fang Heng's level had advanced to B-level. With each major level-up, the strength of his pursuers increased significantly. Fang Heng remained quietly vigilant.
Meanwhile, the tree spirit race gathered in the rear, preparing to relocate. While the barrier remained open for a while, they would immediately begin teleporting to their new habitat.
Senzo didn't want to disclose the true location of the tree spirit race's relocation to Fang Heng.
To them, no human could be trusted.
Senzo and the elder patriarch of the tree spirit race approached Fang Heng together.
"Fang Heng, this place is no longer safe. Next, our Leaf tribe will teleport to a secret stronghold. You should move quickly too. We'll try to assist you as well."
Listening to Senzo's words, Fang Heng couldn't help but find it amusing.
These guys?
Offering help? He'd be grateful if they didn't add to the challenge.
And they were not even planning to tell him the location of the new habitat for the teleportation?
Burning bridges, huh?
Just as he had suspected, the tree spirit race hadn't planned on fulfilling their promise of a reward.
So, when they had all teleported to the temporary secret stronghold, who should he turn to for his reward then?
Fang Heng looked at Senzo and said, "You promised me that once the teleportation passage to the Inner World is opened, you'd take me there too."
Senzo replied, "Once we find a suitable location, we'll contact you."
"Alright." Fang Heng shrugged and said, "My friends are already preparing. We're planning to make our move in five hours. I hope you can get ready to enter the Inner World and don't waste the opportunity."
"I'll arrange it as soon as possible," Senzo said with a serious expression. He glanced at Fang Heng's back and reminded, "Raven will accompany you. Be careful with the spatial strength you used before; it might affect Raven."
As they spoke, Raven appeared behind Fang Heng without notice.
Raven didn't have anything to say; he just nodded gently. His figure slowly transformed into a glowing green light, forming a cluster of vines attached to Fang Heng.
"I understand," Fang Heng responded.
Fang Heng glanced at the time, waved his hand, and transformed into his bat form, flying into the sky.
Senzo and the group of tree spirits raised their heads, watching Fang Heng gradually disappear from view.
Vannes couldn't help but whisper, "Great Elder, even the spawns joined the battle. This is quite unusual. In my opinion, this must be closely related to Fang Heng. I find it suspicious that we're talking about temporarily stopping the spiritual domain network connection."
Just now, Vannes learned about the agreement between Elder Senzo and Fang Heng.
Vannes felt deeply unsettled. So many things had happened in such a short time, and everything seemed to be connected to Fang Heng. No matter how he thought about it, it all seemed suspicious.
Senzo's eyes flickered with suspicion. "Hmm," he murmured, "Then what could be Fang Heng's purpose in helping us open the passage to the Inner World?"
The elders exchanged looks, all shaking their heads.
They truly couldn't understand.
Senzo closed his eyes and whispered, "Raven, can you hear me?"
A small cluster of plants attached to Senzo's shoulder twitched slightly. "I can hear you," it replied, "I'm following Fang Heng. His special flying ability is very fast, and we are leaving the primeval forest area."
"Good, continue to observe, and contact me immediately if there are any anomalies," Senzo nodded, then closed off his mental perception with Raven.
"Great Elder." Vannes, still feeling uneasy, said, "Humans cannot be trusted. We must take precautions..."
"No need to worry. I've already discussed this with Raven. Just pick a few people. Once Raven enters the Federation's secret research room, he'll use his special ability to teleport you over. By then, you'll know what to do."
Upon hearing this, Vannes's face lit up with surprise.
Elder Senzo had prepared early! No wonder he readily agreed to cooperate with Fang Heng.
"Vannes, I'll leave Fang Heng's matters to you. Right now, we have another important task to handle," Senzo said, taking a deep breath before he continued, "The Federation has already located our habitat. We need to evacuate and transfer to the second backup habitat immediately. Also, the magic array teleportation passage to the Inner World must be prepared. Let's hope Fang Heng's plan to temporarily halt the spiritual domain network works out. If he fails..."
"Understood!"
