Chapter 2321  Touched


Shamuk turned around, staring intently into the darkness.


His perception told him it was the same person as before!


But the polluted black fog obscured his perception, and he couldn"t see Fang Heng"s figure clearly at all.


The opponent"s methods were too bizarre. Under the shroud of the black fog, he couldn"t figure out how to counterattack.


"Puh! Puh puh!!!"


He watched as his subordinates, a.s.sisting in controlling the magic array, each spat blood and were thrown backward, disappearing into the black fog. As their numbers dwindled, fear spread rapidly among the remaining guards.


Similarly, with fewer people left, the difficulty of controlling the magic array increased!


In just three short minutes, except for Shamuk, every Wood tribe guard a.s.sisting with the magic array spat blood and flew into the black fog, disappearing without a trace.


A cold sweat broke out on Shamuk"s forehead.


Single-handedly maintaining the operation of the magic array, he expended mental and spiritual energy many times over.


Shamuk had a hunch that perhaps he would be next.


Come on!


Let me see your true face!


Shamuk concentrated his divine vigilance, secretly preparing to strike back.


"Crack!"


Suddenly, Shamuk was struck by a surge of psychic strength, causing his spirit to falter momentarily.


When he regained his senses, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and his blood began to flow uncontrollably, accelerating through his veins!


At that moment, Shamuk finally understood what his subordinates had experienced just moments ago.


This terrifying invisible attack was utterly undefendable!


In the darkness, Fang Heng exerted full control over the flow of blood within Shamuk"s body, while a magic array rapidly spun within his right eye"s pupil!


"What?!"


Shamuk was shocked and pale.


Due to the outbreak of pollution, the entire sapling of the sacred tree was already extremely unstable. He needed a significant portion of his elite power to control the operation of the magic array, as well as to suppress the restless flow of blood within him.


Unexpectedly, the magic array he was currently trying to suppress began to exhibit ma.s.sive fluctuations!


The magic array suddenly accelerated, forcefully extracting his mental strength!


Under the triple suppression, Shamuk"s face instantly turned white!


Who exactly was this opponent? Their array of bizarre methods seemed endless!


Just as he was filled with uncertainty and astonishment, Shamuk suddenly perceived a powerful spatial fluctuation beside him.


Here it comes!


In an instant, Shamuk"s entire body tensed, and his spiritual awareness heightened to the utmost!


"Whoosh!"


Fang Heng stepped out from the spatial projection, simultaneously unleashing a punch forward with a resounding boom!


Spiritual energy surged!


Fang Heng"s fist struck Shamuk"s shoulder with all his might.


A sinister grin flickered across Shamuk"s lips in the split second before being struck. Mustering every last ounce of strength, he pressed his palm firmly against Fang Heng"s body!


Within the black fog, Fang Heng"s figure was obscured and for Shamuk, this moment amidst the darkness presented the perfect opportunity to await Fang Heng"s next move!


This was the best opportunity he had planned to eliminate Fang Heng!


He waited for this moment!


"Boom!"


With Fang Heng"s high strength attribute, Shamuk spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying almost instantly.


"Pa!"


At the same time, when it was Fang Heng"s turn, Shamuk also struck him with his palm. The vibrant natural energy burst open in Shamuk"s palm, and where Shamuk"s palm landed, Fang Heng"s body instantly seemed to decay, leaving behind a blurry imprint of flesh and blood.


"Bang!!!"


[System Notification: When the player is damaged by Shamuk, the elder of the Wood tribe, his pa.s.sive skill "Life Diversion" activates. This damage is shared among nearby zombie teams.]


[System Notification: The player enters a state of being knocked back and parasitized by vines.]


[System Notification: The player"s undying effect is activated, partially removing abnormal conditions.]


Fang Heng was also sent flying backward by Shamuk"s palm imprint, then swiftly executed a double leap in mid-air with remarkable agility, landing safely on the ground.


"Pa..."


He landed right in the middle of the magic array!


In the blink of an eye, the main body of the sacred tree sapling of the Wood tribe, along with the vessel of sacrifice and numerous natural crystals, was fully exposed before Fang Heng!


Meanwhile, on the other side, Shamuk was severely injured by Fang Heng"s punch!


Shamuk saw that his strike, which came at a great cost, had not harmed Fang Heng in the slightest. Instead, due to a twist of fate, it inadvertently led Fang Heng into the heart of the magic array. Shamuk"s expression immediately turned grave.


That guy! What was going on?


Why was he able to take his palm strike that was ready to strike?


How did he do it?


Not good!


The most important thing right now was not to let him get close to the sacred tree!


"Stop him!!!"


Shamuk roared loudly, forcefully suppressing his injuries, and dashed swiftly toward Fang Heng.


Almost simultaneously, the remaining two elders disregarded everything else and chased after Fang Heng, attempting to intercept whatever actions he would take next!


Unfortunately, it was too late!


Fang Heng was already standing in the middle of the magic array.


With a simple wave of his hand, Fang Heng swiftly stowed the five sacrificial jars placed before the sacred tree sapling into his backpack.


[System Notification: The player has obtained the sacrificial jar*5.]


Chi!!


The short sword on Fang Heng"s back burst open, blood rapidly condensed, enveloping the remaining twelve Nature"s Heart Crystals within.


In his grasp!


A bountiful harvest!


With all the sacrificial items in hand, Fang Heng took one last look at the sapling of the sacred tree in front of him.


It was unfortunate that despite sensing the immense energy within the sacred tree sapling, it was centrally preserved within the magic array, making it immobile.


Lacking a method to safely transport the sapling, any attempt to forcibly move it would only harm it, rendering it unable to fulfill its absorption potential.


As for forcefully summoning Abe Akaya to absorb the sapling of the sacred tree...


Fang Heng had considered the feasibility of this plan more than once.


Unfortunately, other than Shamuk, the other two elders were in good condition.


External reinforcements from the Wood tribe will arrive soon, making it highly probable that the situation cannot be resolved.


Well then.


There will be other opportunities in the future.


Seeing Shamuk and the remaining two elders sprinting towards him, Fang Heng"s lips curled into a cold smile.


Just like before with the Leaf tribe, he would follow the same playbook.


Threaten them!


Fang Heng stretched out his hand and quickly pressed it on the sapling of the sacred tree. He was prepared to use the sapling to threaten the Wood Tribe again and take the opportunity to escape.


Indeed, Shamuk and the others" expressions drastically changed upon seeing Fang Heng"s actions.


"Stop!!"


Fang Heng paid them no heed, calmly placing his hand on the sacred tree sapling.


However, in the next moment, Fang Heng"s face was filled with astonishment!


"Pa!"


As Fang Heng"s fingers made contact with the sacred tree sapling, the contamination of black fog lurking in his sea of consciousness was unexpectedly stirred once more!


The corruptive power belonging to the aspect of "Jealousy" surged in his sea of consciousness, with a small, uncontrollable fraction spilling outward along the sea of consciousness.


Somehow, the sacred tree sapling sensed the power within Fang Heng, and it actively attempted to absorb it!


The polluted strength swiftly conducted through Fang Heng"s body was absorbed by the sacred tree sapling!


Suddenly, the entire sacred tree sapling emitted a glaring black brilliance!


It was a pure black that was wrapped in a dazzling green color.


The Wood tribe people were even more shocked when they saw this.


[Hint: The player"s unknown pollution effect has been slightly reduced.]
