Chapter 2166 Consumption
"Buzz..."
There was a reaction!
Fang Heng"s heart skipped a beat as he stared at the slowly rotating magic array.
"Whoosh!"
A soft sound rang out.
The magic array had only been operating for a little while when the light gradually dimmed again.
Or had he failed?
Everyone shifted their gaze to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng closed his eyes and communicated with Abe Akaya through perception.
"How is it? Mr. Fang?"
Seeing Fang Heng open his eyes again, Sandy could not help but ask.
Fang Heng shook his head.
Judging solely from the results, it was a mixed bag.
"According to Abe Akaya"s feedback through perception, our previous speculation was correct. Abe Akaya can trigger the magic array."
"Hehe! As expected! I knew it!"
Sandy waved his fist proudly.
"However, Abe Akaya"s strength has yet to recover. He told me that the natural energy of this world is greatly limited. Perhaps this is the reason why it has become very difficult for it to absorb the energy of this world. The improvement of its own ability is greatly limited. At least, it can"t fully provide energy for the operation of the magic array."
Fang Heng turned his head as he spoke.
A few vines extended from Abe Akaya"s body and slowly approached him.
"Hmm?"
Fang Heng sensed the emotions coming from Abe Akaya, and his heart skipped a beat.
What was that?
Fang Heng calmed himself down and closed his eyes. He tried to establish a spiritual connection with Abe Akaya again.
It seemed that Abe Akaya had sensed that there was something in his backpack that would help him recover strength.
"You want this?"
Soon, Fang Heng took out the Leaf of Life from his backpack.
He had exchanged it from the tree spirits earlier.
Other than being used as equipment, it could also be exchanged for a large amount of natural science experience points.
Fang Heng was reluctant to use it, so he temporarily stored it in his backpack.
Was Abe Akaya interested in it?
Looking at the Leaf of Life that Fang Heng casually took out, a look of surprise appeared on Cleriway"s face.
"Is it the Leaf of Life?"
"You know about it too?"
"Indeed, I"ve seen it among the elite spirits. It"s a very precious item," Cleriway remarked as she gazed at the Leaf of Life in Fang Heng"s hand. Recollecting her memories, she continued, "I"ve heard from my people that the Leaf of Life can provide strength to sacred trees. I believe the sacred tree may be in need of it."
Indeed.
The sacred tree Abe Akaya conveyed to him a desire for the Leaf of Life.
Fang Heng glanced at Abe Akaya and was speechless.
"Kid, you have a sharp nose. You can even sense me hiding in my backpack."
"Alright then." As Fang Heng spoke, he moved the Leaf of Life closer to Abe Akaya and said, "Take it and try it."
The vines slowly extended and wrapped around the Leaf of Life.
The Leaf of Life slowly turned into a green light in the vine and was completely absorbed by Abe Akaya.
[Hint: Soul symbiote-The sacred tree Abe Akaya has absorbed the strength from the Leaf of Life, partially restoring its abilities.]
Then, the vines stuck to Fang Heng"s body.
"More?"
It seemed that one wasn"t enough.
It was not easy for Fang Heng to extort a sum of Leaf of Life from the tree spirits. He had originally planned to use it when he leveled up his natural science.
Forget it.
Right now, the most important thing was to complete the main mission.
Fang Heng sighed in his heart and took out all the Leaves of Life that he had cheated from the tree spirits from his backpack.
Like a child whose mind had yet to open, Abe Chiya was once again filled with joy. It extended its vines and absorbed the Leaves of Life one by one.
As the Leaves of Life turned into green light and dissipated, the trunk of Abe Akaya"s tree grew thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Three minutes later, the last Leaf of Life was completely absorbed.
The vines stuck to Fang Heng again.
"More?" Fang Heng shrugged and said, "That"s all I have. It"s all yours."
Abe Chiya"s vines were still lingering around Fang Heng.
"There really isn"t."
Fang Heng didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. Did he raise a sacred tree or a good-for-nothing?
"Wait, are you talking about this?"
Fang Heng thought of something and took out a rune from his backpack.
Abe Akaya was excited again, and even the branches were shaking slightly.
The runestone.
He had cheated it from Great Elder Senzo.
Looking at the item description, it also contained a large amount of natural energy.
Got it.
He would give it all to Abe Akaya.
Since things had come to this, Fang Heng simply took out the runestone from his backpack and threw it at Abe Akaya.
"Whoosh!"
The vines quickly extended and caught the runestone that was thrown in the air.
Layer after layer of vines quickly enveloped him.
"Buzz..."
The runestone was activated, and the green light instantly illuminated the entire underground area.
[Hint: The player"s soul symbiotic body, Abe Akaya, has absorbed the runestone and has partially recovered its abilities.]
After spending more than five minutes to suck the entire runestone dry, Abe Akaya fell into silence again.
Without waiting for Fang Heng to give another order, Abe Akaya extended its vines and surrounded the tree spirit race"s teleportation magic array on the ground again.
"Chi chi chi..."
The magic array started to operate slowly.
Under everyone"s expectant gaze, a dim light slowly condensed in the center of the magic array.
Fang Heng stared at the magic array.
Did he succeed?
What?
Whoosh!
The energy supply was suddenly cut off, and the magic array that had been condensed halfway stopped once again.
Failed?
Fang Heng looked at Abe Akaya again.
As it had absorbed a large amount of the Leaves of Life and a runestone, it was much easier to construct his spiritual force with Abe Akaya this time.
Abe Akaya soon conveyed its mental strength perception as well.
In simple terms, Abe Akaya"s energy was still insufficient.
It was about one-third away from fully activating the magic array.
Fang Heng shook his head helplessly and told everyone the bad news.
Everyone looked at each other and could not help but fall into deep thought.
Why did it feel like they had fallen into a strange circle again?
If they wanted to enter the Inner World, they would have to use Abe Akaya"s strength. Unfortunately, Abe Akaya"s power was insufficient.
Boosting Abe Akaya"s strength was not difficult, but there were two approaches.
One option was to quickly let Abe Akaya absorb energy ma.s.sively, expanding rapidly to enhance its power. However, this posed significant challenges. On one hand, Abe Akaya was under suppression, so self-growth enhancement would take too long. On the other hand, if it expanded rapidly, the fluctuations in Abe Akaya"s strength would spread rapidly as well. This would undoubtedly trigger anomalies in the spiritual domain blockade network, leading to investigations by both the Federation and the sp.a.w.ns.
At that time, a head-on conflict would be inevitable.
Or the second method.
He would go to the tree spirits and ask for more things like the Leaf of Life to think of a way to improve Abe Akaya.
Wasn"t this a joke?
Fang Heng did not want to come into contact with the tree spirit"s mission line, so he chose to bring Abe Akaya to this world!
Now, he had to think of a way to get the Leaf of Life from the tree spirits.
Given the att.i.tude of the tree spirit clan, it"s indeed troublesome to contemplate.
Mo Jiawei couldn"t help but scratch his head, feeling the headache intensify.
