Chapter 2269 Camp
"Bang!!!"
Fang Heng had anticipated the attack in advance, but even with his hands blocking in front of him, he was still kicked backward and stumbled back more than ten steps.
Huh?
Vannes's strength seemed to have diminished?
Fang Heng's mind raced.
On the one hand, Vannes hadn't exerted his full strength, and on the other hand, it was related to the weakened power of the Leaf tribe.
It seemed that the damage to the sacred tree sapling had a significant impact on the Leaf tribe.
"Humph!"
Vannes kicked out, finally venting his anger with a deep snort, warning, "Human! I warn you, don't try any tricks again!"
Fang Heng, still contemplating taking advantage of the situation, slowly stood up without saying a word.
Vannes then turned to look at Ovi.
This kid was too young and had been influenced by humans. He was no longer suitable to continue the mission.
Now that Ovi dared to freely extract the Leaf of Life and ore resources within the tribe, what else wouldn't he dare to do next?
Constructing a magic array would consume so many Leaves of Life? Who knew if Fang Heng was trying to swindle the tribe's resources under the guise of this opportunity?
But now that things had come to this point.
The magic array had already been completed, and to abandon it would be to waste all previous efforts.
Let's give them another day.
Vannes suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "From now on, the construction of the magic array will be overseen by Zet. Everything will follow Zet's arrangements."
Ovi was suddenly shocked and turned to look at Zet beside Vannes.
He knew Zet too. Zet had always been Vannes's trusted subordinate, but Zet's understanding of magic arrays was too shallow. He only knew a little more than his peers.
To let someone who knew nothing about it take charge...
Ovi pleaded again, "Elder, please give me another chance! After the testing of the magic array is completed, regardless of the results, Ovi is willing to accept any punishment."
"Shut up! Do you still think you haven't caused enough trouble?" Vannes glanced at Ovi and continued, "Return to the clan with me, you'll be confined for a week to reflect on your mistakes! When the Great Elder returns, you will explain to him personally!"
"Yes, Elder."
Ovi knew Vannes's temper and dared not provoke him further. He shrank his neck and accepted the punishment.
"Let's go!"
Vannes waved his hand, indicating for his assistant Zet to stay with more than ten members of the Leaf tribe while the others quickly left.
Zet stepped forward a few steps, scrutinizing Fang Heng with a condescending gaze.
"Fang Heng, I don't know what methods you used to influence Ovi, but I'm not like him. Don't try to play tricks in front of me. I'll be watching you, understand?"
Fang Heng thought to himself, "The Leaf tribe is still the Leaf tribe after all. They're already preparing to burn the bridge before crossing the river."
"If things are handled well, I'll also strive to get what you want," Zet said, glancing at the magic array once again, then asked, "What's your next step?"
"The magic array has been activated once, and we found a minor flaw that needs to be modified and perfected. Since we've depleted the dimensional energy used for testing, we need to go to the dimensional realm to obtain more dimensional energy. At the same time, we need to adjust the energy absorption magic array synchronously. I predict that this teleportation will take longer and consume more white frost stone resources."
"More modifications?" Zet frowned upon hearing this. "Where will we get the white frost ore? Do we have enough time in a day?"
"I've already prepared the white frost ore, and one day is enough," Fang Heng reassured Zet. "I suggest we find a lower-level dimensional world for testing."
Since all the ore was provided by Fang Heng, Zet had no more concerns. He nodded and said, "Very well, let's begin as soon as possible. Remember, you only have one day."
Zet waved his hand, indicating for the Leaf tribe members in the Prayer Temple to continue preparing the passage for dimensional teleportation.
Watching the Leaf tribe members bustling with preparations for dimensional teleportation, Fang Heng couldn't help but feel excited.
Next, he could prepare to test Abe Akaya's absorption of dimensional strength.
...
An hour later, the teleportation magic array had been prepared.
Including Zet, a group of twenty Leaf Tribe members accompanied Fang Heng.
The magic array beneath their feet emitted a faint white light as it slowly activated.
"Everyone, we are about to head to the Misty Land. Prepare yourselves."
"Buzz..."
[Hint: The player enters an unknown world.]

[Hint: The player has crossed the world boundary. The pursuit team dispatched by the holy realm will attempt to lock onto your position again in 9+15 hours (additional time due to the influence of holy weapon skills).]
Upon opening his eyes again, Fang Heng found himself in an area shrouded in thin mist.
Beneath his feet lay a soft marshland.
Looking around, he saw sparse forests covered in mist and miasma.
The magic array slab!
He found it!
Fang Heng's gaze quickly focused on a large ancient stone slab to the right of the teleportation point.
Under the scrutiny of Zet and his group, Fang Heng walked up to the stone slab, crouched down, and carefully observed the magic array inscribed on it.
In Ovi's eyes, Zet only had a slight understanding of alchemy magic arrays. But in Fang Heng's opinion, Zet was utterly clueless.
Zet's main purpose on this trip was to keep an eye on Fang Heng and prevent any unusual behavior.
After waiting for more than ten minutes and seeing Fang Heng seemingly transfixed in front of the stone slab, Zet grew impatient and coughed lightly, asking, "Still not done?"
He couldn't understand why Fang Heng was so engrossed in a piece of stone.
"I was a bit absorbed in it, but it's almost done," Fang Heng said as he stood up and glanced around.
"We need to set up a temporary camp here and then move the stone slab to the center of the camp," he continued.
"What? We need to build a camp?" Zet frowned. "Fang Heng, this is the dimensional world. Every minute spent here consumes a large amount of white frost ore energy."
This was ridiculous. Setting up a temporary camp was pointless. Once the dimensional magic array was activated, countless native creatures would be stimulated and swarm toward them, affecting the camp.
Moreover, white frost ore was a rare mineral, and they didn't have so much to waste here.
"Establishing a camp is necessary. Once the magic array modification is completed, we can replenish the white frost ore we've used," Fang Heng asserted.
Zet fell silent, suspecting Fang Heng of some ulterior motive.
Fang Heng thought it was just troublesome.
If it were Ovi, he wouldn't have wasted time explaining all this.
Fang Heng's tone grew heavier. "Zet, are you questioning my decision and wasting my time? Please understand, the white frost ore used to enter here was provided by me. Without me, we wouldn't even be able to enter here. Every minute wasted here is wasting my ore."
