Chapter 2246 Additional Items
The blood on the battlefield was immediately drawn by the power of the vampires, slowly rising into the air.
"Chi, chi chi..."
The blood gurgled and bubbled as if it was burning and emitted a green-black mist.
The blood and limbs were quickly burned to remove the impurities.
After Fang Heng advanced to the King's bloodline and further enhanced his mental strength through recent studies in psychic abilities, he no longer needed the cumbersome process of refining blood to the same extent as before, nor did he have to establish a large number of altars.
The prerequisite was that he needed to consume a large amount of his main body's spiritual energy to do it personally and accept the slower blood purification efficiency.
In the rear, several guards of the tree spirit clan watched as the blood blob gradually floated up in the air, swiftly coalescing into a cohesive mass. Initially, their eyes betrayed a mixture of astonishment and curiosity, but soon, this expression transformed into one of disdain.
[Hint: The player's friendliness with the tree spirits has decreased by 2 points.]
Fang Heng glanced at the game hint out of habit.
Forget it.
He was already used to it.
He couldn't even be bothered to think about why his friendship level had dropped.
If it dropped, so be it.
Onward!
His lifeblood quickly gathered in the air.
Despite the large expanse of blood sea coalescing in the air, the truth was that the lifeblood of the sandwing beetles contained relatively low inherent strength, resulting in an unexpectedly high impurity content within the blood sea.
It was estimated that after true purification was completed, obtaining a purified blood fragment the size of a pinky finger would already exceed expectations.
The blood boiled rapidly in the air as if it were boiling.r.
The impurities formed a green mist through the burning, and a large amount of debris fell from the blood ball.
Slowly.
It was just a hack anyway.
Fang Heng was not in a hurry.
In the rear, Ovi and the others became fully relieved when they realized that all the mutant worm creatures had been intercepted by Fang Heng's summons. They focused entirely on controlling the magic array.
Previously, they couldn't resist the sandwing beetle swarm so easily; often, they had to give up and retreat after just over an hour.
With Fang Heng's help this time, the chanting lasted for several hours without interruption!
Ovi and the others had a great time grinding along the way!
Until the mental strength of several Leaf tribe priests like Ovi had depleted to a similar extent, the chanting gradually ceased.
The magic array came to a slow halt.
The sandwing beetles surging from all sides also began to disperse gradually.
Members of the tree spirit clan turned their gaze towards Fang Heng one after another.
In front of Fang Heng, the blood sea in the air underwent repeated burning, rapidly condensing and shrinking until it formed a fragment the size of a fingernail.
"Whoosh!"
The small portion of lifeblood rapidly merged into the short blade behind Fang Heng.
Fang Heng shook his head.
At least over a hundred thousand dead sandwing beetles, and in the end, only this tiny amount condensed.
It was better than nothing.
What else could he do?
Fang Heng clapped his hands and looked at Ovi as if nothing had happened.
Ovi also glanced at Fang Heng. He didn't say anything more. He just nodded, "Send a transmission signal to Elder Farouk. We're preparing to return."
"Yes."
The members of the Leaf tribe gathered once again at the center of the teleportation magic array beside the stone slab.
Ovi, in particular, carefully protected the sacrificial jar in his hands.
After a moment, the teleportation magic array emitted a faint glow.
"Prepare to return."
...
Fang Heng and the others returned to the hall through the magic array and appeared in the center of the teleportation array.
Ovi slightly bowed and reported, "Elder Farouk, I am glad to report that we have not failed your trust."
"Hmm, you've done very well," Farouk acknowledged, noticing Ovi's significant gains this time. He raised his hand gently and glanced at Fang Heng standing behind Ovi. "It's inconvenient for a human to stay here. Take him down."
"Yes, Elder!"
Two tree spirit clan members approached from behind, one on the left and one on the right, intending to escort Fang Heng out of the hall.
Fang Heng couldn't help but shrug at the words.
"Tsk...
Tree spirits...
As always, burning bridges after crossing them.
Fang Heng remained in place, showing no intention of leaving. He asked, "What about Rudyard? He promised to take me to see the condition of the sacred tree."
The other leaf tribe member replied, "The elder has already left and hasn't returned yet. For now, please leave with us."
Fang Heng smirked, his gaze lingering on the sacrificial jar for a moment before asking, "What about tomorrow? Will you continue then?"
"I don't know." Ovi, exhausted from continuous control of the magic array, shook his head upon hearing Fang Heng's question, "Human, thank you for your help. If there's any news, the Elders Council will inform you."
"Alright."
Fang Heng said no more and turned to walk outside the temple.
He had gathered enough information today.
Information about the dimensional world, the magic array for absorbing dimensional energy, the dimensional world teleportation passage, the teleportation markers, and the sacrificial jar...
It seemed that he had all the important tools he needed.
Perhaps he could try to replicate it?
There was no hurry.
Fang Heng calmed himself down.
Right now, he still lacked one thing.
He would bring another cart of goods over tomorrow.
When Rudyard returned, then it would be possible to figure out how exactly the tree spirit clan manages to rapidly enhance the power of the sacred tree through the sacrificial jar.
Planning can wait until then!
...
Leaving the Temple of Incantation, Fang Heng immediately retraced his steps through the passage in the primeval forest back to the town, preparing to procure another batch of white frost stones.
Eh?
Halfway back, Fang Heng suddenly noticed something. He frowned and turned to look to the right.
What was that?
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
In the next moment, a dense number of wooden spikes shot out from the bushes on the right and stabbed toward him!
It was an ambush!
Fang Heng's pupils constricted.
"Boom!!!"
Immediately, there was another intense explosion before him!
This time, Fang Heng, already experienced, reacted swiftly and promptly escaped into a secondary space projection at the first sign of danger!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
Wooden spikes in the air exploded continuously.
"Where is he?"
Members of the Wood tribe hidden among the tree spirits hurriedly rushed to the spot where Fang Heng disappeared, searching everywhere for his figure.
Strange!
They had just seen someone leaving the temple.
How could he suddenly disappear without a trace?
Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other.
"Was it someone from the leaf tribe?"
"I didn't get a clear look."
"It was a human, probably from the Federation. Will our target be exposed? Should we act preemptively?"
"No need for that yet. I'll report to a few elders. You guys continue to lay in ambush and wait for further instructions."
"Understood!"
[Hint: The player triggered an emergency side mission-Ambush by the Wood tribe.]
Mission name: Ambush by the Wood tribe.
Mission description: You have discovered the Wood tribe hiding in the primeval forest, preparing an ambush. Their target is likely the Leaf tribe. Please relay this information to the Leaf tribe immediately.
Mission requirements: Escape from the Wood tribe's ambush area and relay the message to the Leaf tribe.
Mission reward: Increase in friendship with the Leaf tribe, increase in reputation with the Leaf tribe.
[Hint: The player can also choose to abandon this mission and select another tribe mission line.]
In the secondary space projection, Fang Heng quickly glanced at the game hint and then turned to run.
The Wood tribe was coming!
It seemed the Wood tribe was not willing to take losses lying down either.
Two elders died yesterday, and today they're here to reclaim their territory.
He was lucky. On his way back, he happened to step into the encirclement of the Wood tribe hidden outside the temple.
Fang Heng understood the crux of the matter, and his face immediately revealed a hint of excitement.
Interesting!
Elder Rudyard had just gone out and had not returned yet, and the Wood tribe had come to counterattack at this time...
What a coincidence.
It was hard not to make a connection.
Could it be that Rudyard was set up by the Wood tribe?
Hehe!
Good!
Fight, fight!
The more intense the fight, the better!
Muddying the waters!
Fang Heng immediately changed his plan and headed back to the temple.
