Chapter 2287 A Major Discovery
Senzo nodded lightly. "If we offer more white frost stones, we can try trading with them to get the Leaf of Life. As for the Nature"s Heart, let"s forget about it for now."
"Understood!"
"Great Elder, at present, we still need to solve the issue of the sacrificial jar. Without it, the growth of the sacred tree sapling will be extremely slow."
"Yes."
Senzo made a soft hum and continued, "I will personally go to the Inner World to search for it. On the other hand, Elder Abdo, I would like you to try communicating with other tribes in exchange for the sacrificial jar."
"Understood!"
The sacrificial jar was something only their tree spirit tribe had.
Getting a new one was quite troublesome.
Either they were willing to shed some blood to exchange for it with people from other tribes, or they could only enter the Inner World and try their luck in the ruins of the tree spirit tribe.
While everyone was discussing, a tree spirit hurried into the hall and reported, "Great Elder, the Temple of Incantation we"ve been tracking at the periphery has been driven away by the Federation. When we were retreating, we accidentally spotted Fang Heng."
Fang Heng! They were just looking for him!
Upon hearing Fang Heng"s name, Vannes" expression changed instantly, and he stepped forward to request, "Great Elder, please allow me to immediately lead a team to capture Fang Heng!"
"Mm, that"s good. Vannes, you and Ian will lead a team to investigate."
"This time, there must be no more mishaps," Senzo said in a deep voice as he looked at Vannes.
"There won"t be any problems!"
Vannes" eyes were a little red. After saying that, he immediately led his team to investigate.
...
At the foot of a barren mountain on the outskirts, a dilapidated Temple of Incantation was located.
Originally, because of the Temple of Incantation, this area had been bought by a developer at a high price. It was intended to build a super-sized scenic area.
After the incident with the tree spirit tribe, the Temple of Incantation once again came under the complete control of the Federation, and the residents around it were evacuated.
Fang Heng and Cleriway spent a whole day rearranging the Abe Akaya summoning magic array and modifying some of the remaining conversion magic arrays inside the Temple of Incantation.
Time was limited, so Fang Heng only made a basic model this time.
The main purpose was to conduct a test, checking for any loopholes.
After confirming everything was all alright, there would still be time for further upgrades.
As the chants continued, the magic array in the hall slowly began to operate.
A dark red light appeared, and Abe Akaya"s roots climbed out of the magic array.
Fang Heng and Abu Akira quickly completed the construction of their mental power.
Everything went smoothly!
"Abe Akaya, let"s begin and occupy this temple."
Abe Akaya immediately responded excitedly.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
Dark crimson vines swiftly spilled out from the magic array and rapidly grew around the Temple of Incantation.
Gu Qingzhu glanced at Fang Heng and asked, "How"s it going?"
"Good, everything"s going smoothly," Fang Heng replied, making an "OK" gesture.
Communication with Abe Akaya was going smoothly.
Abe Akaya was in the process of slowly merging with the Temple of Incantation, dissolving the original imprints within and replacing them with his own.
It took over half an hour until Abe Akaya"s tendrils wrapped around the temple, completely erasing the remaining imprints.
A game hint flashed on Fang Heng"s retina.
[Hint: Players gain control of the temple through the sacred tree - Abe Akaya.]
Great!
Next, they could attempt to use Abe Akaya"s strength to teleport into the dimensional world.
This part required additional a.s.sistance.
Before arrival, Fang Heng had made preparations in advance.
Cleriway and several Dukes of the vampire who had arrived as reinforcements would collaborate to activate the teleportation magic array.
Gu Qingzhu and Mo Jiawei would stay outside to keep watch and prevent any unexpected occurrences.
Huh?
It was strange.
Where was Mo Jiawei?
Where had he gone?
They had agreed to take action today.
In critical moments in the past, he had been very punctual, arely late.
"Aye, Your Majesty, why don"t we move first?" a Duke of the vampires suggested.
"No, let"s wait a bit longer." As he spoke, several large trucks stopped outside the Temple of Incantation.
Mo Jiawei hurriedly entered the Temple of Incantation under the escort of two Federation soldiers.
"Fang Heng, we"re in trouble. I just got word from the Federation. About ten minutes ago, there was a stir among the leaf tribe. They"ve led a group out of the primeval forest into Federation territory. The Federation"s system identified Elder Vannes of the leaf tribe, and it looks like they"re likely headed this way," Mo Jiawei explained.
"Here?" Fang Heng furrowed his brows.
It was odd.
How did the tree spirits find this place?
Was it a leak in Abe Akaya"s aura?
It didn"t seem so.
A response came from Abe Akaya"s spiritual power, indicating that he had hidden his fluctuations very well this time.
"Fang Heng, what should we do?" Mo Jiawei asked.
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then nodded. "Let"s not rush. The teleportation pa.s.sages of the tree spirit tribe are mostly concentrated near the primeval forest. It will take them some time to arrive. I"ll try to enter the dimensional world to collect dimensional energy first. I"ll be back soon."
"Alright then," Mo Jiawei said, feeling a bit uneasy.
But since Fang Heng had made the decision, it wasn"t a big problem.
Fang Heng looked at the ancient tome in Mo Jiawei"s hands and asked, "By the way, what"s this?"
"Oh, this? It"s an ancient book I found in the Inner World recently. Sandy stumbled upon it in a pile of ancient tomes and insisted I bring it to you, claiming she made a major discovery."
"A major discovery?" Fang Heng"s interest was piqued. "Tell me more. What did you find?"
"Eh, it"s nothing much. I think she"s exaggerating." Mo Jiawei shrugged and explained, "According to the ancient books of the tree spirit tribe, the various tribes were born from the scared trees of past generations. They are the descendants of the sacred trees. According to different power inheritances, the various tribes of the tree spirit tribe were formed. In the tribe"s history, there were far more tribes than the four great ones we see today, but they"ve all disappeared into the annals of history... In the subsequent inheritances, the next cultivator of the sacred tree would become the leader of the tribe..."
"Look at this part here. According to Sandy"s explanation, the Vampire Sacred Tree, Abe Akaya, was also nurtured by the sacred tree itself. Therefore, theoretically, the vampires can be considered as descendants of the tree spirit tribe, tracing their lineage back to the sacred tree..."
Fang Heng listened for a while, then paused, realization dawning. "So, according to Sandy, based on the theory in this book, the vampires are also a major tribe of the entire tree spirit tribe."
Mo Jiawei shrugged again. "Yeah, that"s what I meant. And it"s supported by historical records. I can"t help but feel it"s a bit useless. Sandy"s persistent. She kept bugging me to come tell you about it, but I don"t see the point."
"It"s not entirely useless," Fang Heng joked. "At least we can officially declare ourselves as the rightful successors of the tree spirit tribe, right?"
