Chapter 2361 Move Away
Under Tippy's astonished gaze, a zombie crawled out from a flesh cocoon and staggered toward the bookshelf, clumsily beginning to collect and move the books.
What were they doing?
Did they really intend to take all these books away at once?
Facing Tippy's bewildered gaze, Fang Heng maintained a nonchalant expression. "The Inner World is about to be polluted. Right now, it's not suitable to confront the demonic seed of Pride head-on. We're taking all this data back to investigate slowly."
"Hehe," Sandy chimed in eagerly, rubbing his hands together. "Exactly, let's clear out everything. These are important historical records. We'll take them back and examine them slowly."
Outside the ruins of the Elders Council, the reinforcement team from the Soul tribe had just arrived.
As they observed from a distance, they saw a group of zombie clones emerging from the passage leading to the sealed land of the Elders Council, each carrying bags of books lined up in a row. Confusion spread across the faces of the Soul tribe guards.
What's going on here?
Weren't they supposed to come together to deal with the stone spirit puppets?
Where were the stone spirit puppets?
What was up with those zombies carrying books?
The captain of the Soul tribe squad was also a bit bewildered.
The zombie creatures appeared to be under Fang Heng's control, so they were likely not enemies.
Just as they hesitated, Tippy happened to be leaving the canyon with Fang Heng's group.
Tippy noticed the Soul tribe team arriving for reinforcements and nodded at them.
"There's been a special situation. We're leaving here for now; we'll discuss the rest later."
"Understood."
The captain of the Soul tribe reinforcement squad nodded immediately and gestured for everyone to protect the zombie clone team and facilitate their swift departure.
It had to be said, there were far more books in the side halls of the two scripture halls than Fang Heng had anticipated!
The books filled both grand halls.
Fortunately, there were plenty of zombie clones to handle the task.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to move everything in one go.
They returned smoothly to the Outer World, where Fang Heng and Tippy nodded to each other before going their separate ways.
Tippy immediately escorted the books and the Nightfall Stone back to report to the Soul tribe.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng headed back to the Federation Research Institute where Ji Haiting was located, preparing for his next steps before eventually joining Tippy at the Soul tribe's habitat.
By the time Fang Heng returned to the research institute, the Federation had already joined forces with the vampires to carry out a round of clean-up on the two main habitats of the Leaf tribe and the Wood tribe.
The battle results were astonishing!
Upon seeing Fang Heng return, Prince Loeb of the vampires approached and knelt before him, reporting, "Your Majesty, we have completely cleared out the camps of the Leaf tribe and the Wood tribe. During the battles, a small number of tree spirit tribe members escaped the battlefield. As per your orders, we are currently engaged in a comprehensive pursuit."
"Good, well done."
"After eliminating the two Great Elders of the Leaf tribe and the Wood tribe, the strength of both major tribes has significantly diminished. They are no match for the vampires and the Federation on the front lines."
"Any reaction from the Root tribe?"
"We've placed surveillance in the outer area of the Root tribe. We haven't found anything unusual yet."
"Hmm, everything seems normal..."
Fang Heng thought to himself that currently, only the Soul tribe, Root tribe, and Abe Akaya could open passages between the Inner World and the Outer World.
As long as these three passages were sealed, theoretically, the demonic seed of Pride would be temporarily locked inside the 'Inner World' and unable to escape.
They could temporarily disregard the demonic seed, eliminate the remnants of the Leaf tribe and Wood tribe, and then unite with the Soul tribe to defeat the Root tribe. After that, they could work on persuading the Soul tribe to pledge allegiance, completing the hidden main storyline mission...
After all, time was running out.
A glint of determination flickered in Fang Heng's eyes as he glanced once more at the game hints.
[Hint: Current bloodline prosperity of the Leaf tribe: 12.1%.]
[Hint: Current bloodline prosperity of the Wood tribe: 9.7% (Under current conditions, without special influences, bloodline prosperity will gradually decrease).]
"Where did the fleeing Wood tribe and Leaf tribe go? Is there a way to track them?"
"We are collaborating with the Federation to search. They have a strong ability to conceal their aura. Reports suggest they used teleportation passages to enter several secret temporary backup habitats."
"Alright, I understand."
Fang Heng knew that each faction of the tree spirit tribe had prepared more than one backup habitat to prevent accidents, originally designed for their dependents. In the event of a devastating strike on their habitat, they could immediately relocate to evade danger.
"Keep pursuing. Once you locate them, leave none behind. You are responsible for handling this matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fang Heng glanced at Prince Carl beside him and asked, "Can you still fight?"
Carl's expression brightened, nodding and saying, "Yes!"
"Very good. Get ready to attack the Root tribe's habitat."
Two of the four great clans have been eliminated.
He had to seize the moment and kill the Root tribe while the iron was hot!
"Yes, sir!"
Carl replied, his eyes flashing with a strong desire to fight.
Fang Heng looked at Ji Haiting and nodded, saying, "I'll have to trouble you to help me communicate with the Federation."
"Alright."
Ji Haiting looked at Fang Heng and nodded solemnly.
Who would have thought that in just over a month, Fang Heng would be able to completely destroy the tree spirit tribe by himself?!
Just as everyone was about to split up and prepare for battle, a Duke of the vampires entered the living room. He knelt on one knee and reported, "Your Majesty, we have found traces of Vannes who has escaped."
"Oh?"
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"He's leading a few of his clansmen deep into the primeval forest. Looking at the direction, it's very likely to be the habitat of the Root tribe."
...
In the primeval forest, Vannes sprinted forward, his eyes filled with hatred.
Not long ago, the vampires allied with the Federation and massacred their homeland!
He led his clansmen to resist with all their might, but unfortunately, they were unable to turn the situation around in the end.
To preserve the clan's last hope, Vannes was forced to evacuate from the secret portal with his young clansmen.
Not only had their home been reduced to ruins, but traces of the vampires had also been found outside a few backup temporary habitat points. They could be discovered at any time, and they could not even contact Great Elder Senzo!
Vannes was very worried that something had happened to Elder Senzo, but he had no time to worry about it at the moment.
He was about to lose his home!
The remaining few backup locations were also in danger.
It could not be delayed for long!
Vannes had a terrifying intuition that the backup habitat of the Leaf tribe would soon be discovered!
The only way he could think of to change the current situation was to seek help from the Root tribe!
The Root tribe had agreed to cooperate with them.
Among the three great clans, only the Root tribe had not been attacked by the vampires. They still had a portion of their strength, and they even had the saplings of the divine trees that the clan had nurtured!
Therefore, after escaping, Vannes immediately selected a group of elite members of the Leaf tribe who were still capable of fighting and went to the Root tribe to ask for help.
However, he had been exposed somewhere on his way to the Root tribe. After entering the primitive forest where the Root tribe was, he encountered the pursuers of the vampires.
Vannes didn't dare to waste any more time. He could only send people to intercept the pursuers and flee for his life. He could only watch as his elites fell one by one in the pursuit of the enemy.
