Chapter 2285 Return
Who was it?
Zet"s pupils constricted, and he strained his eyes to see the figure.
A human!
The person, wearing a mask, appeared directly in the center of the magic array. Then... the sacrificial jar!
Oh no!
He was going after the sacrificial jar!
"Stop him, ahem, ahem..."
Zet tried to shout, but his throat was hoa.r.s.e from the surrounding dust. He couldn"t help but cough. When he looked again, the masked man had swiftly taken all the sacrificial jars from the center of the magic array and disappeared.
"It"s over!"
The sapling was gone, and so was the sacrificial jar.
Zet"s face turned pale in an instant.
...
Outside the temple, the leaf tribe was still arguing with the other three tribes.
Tippy thought for a moment and said, "Leaf tribe, this matter concerns the essence of the sacred tree. If it is truly as you say, just the aura of the sacred tree sapling, then please allow us to enter and take a look. Let everyone feel at ease. Perhaps we can even a.s.sist."
Rudyard naturally did not want outsiders entering the temple, so he shook his head in refusal.
"The magic array is currently active. If you go in and affect the sacred tree sapling, who will take responsibility?"
"No problem. We can wait outside..."
As they spoke, their expressions simultaneously changed slightly.
What was happening?
Suddenly, the aura of the sacred tree erupted from the Temple of Incantation once more!
The aura rapidly climbed to its peak.
"Boom!"
An explosion sounded from within the temple!
An intense aura, accompanied by dust and large wood fragments, burst from the temple!
"Retreat!"
Everyone immediately retreated to the periphery of the Temple of Incantation.
What was happening?
Did it explode?
The entire Temple of Incantation had exploded?
"What"s going on?"
Seeing the entire Temple of Incantation in turmoil, Vannes was filled with uncertainty.
What had happened inside the temple?
And what about the sacred tree sapling?
The sacred tree sapling was in the temple. Could it have been affected?
Not good. Could it be Fang Heng?
"Let"s go!"
As the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, Vannes led his subordinates into the ruins of the Temple of Incantation to investigate.
"Quick, let"s follow."
The other three tribes immediately followed suit.
Inside the ruins, the members of the leaf tribe who had been operating the magic array looked miserable, sprawled on the ground from the explosion"s impact.
"Zet! What happened?"
Vannes spotted Zet leaning against a pillar, his face covered in blood. He quickly approached and lifted Zet. "What happened?" he demanded.
"The magic array exploded. I saw a mysterious person appear and s.n.a.t.c.h our sacrificial jar."
Vannes gritted his teeth. "I"m asking about the sacred tree sapling! Where is the sacred tree sapling?"
Zet knew he was in serious trouble this time, and his face turned bitter. "I don"t know. Maybe it was in the explosion. Unfortunately..."
"D*mn it! You don"t know anything! Why don"t you just die!"
Vannes immediately turned and looked around. "Where is the sapling? Quick! Search the ruins! The sapling must be here! We must find it!"
When the other three tribes who had followed Vannes into the Temple of Incantation saw this scene, they were suspicious.
What a coincidence!
Why did the sacred tree sapling have to show abnormalities when they were here?
"Does it even explode?" He thought to himself.
Wasn"t this too much of a coincidence?
It made people wonder if this was a deliberate act by Zet.
All the elders closed their eyes and searched for the aura of the sacred tree.
They couldn"t find it.
It was very strange.
Just like on the island, the aura of the sacred tree disappeared completely again. They could no longer sense the aura of the sacred tree.
What was going on?
It felt strange.
The elders of the three great tribes exchanged glances with each other and turned their gazes to the leaf tribe.
The leaf tribe was the most suspicious.
Could it be that the leaf tribe had some method to conceal the aura of the sacred tree?
In the end, did they come up with this trick to get away with it?
"D*mn it!"
Unable to find the sacred tree sapling, Vannes was about to be consumed by anger.
He had messed up the matter that the Great Elder had personally instructed him to do!
He didn"t even know what had happened!
"No one is allowed to leave this place! I want to know what happened here! If you can"t find the sapling, you can explain to the Great Elder personally!"
Zet knew Vannes"s temper. He shrunk his neck and did not dare to make a sound.
"There"s an accident at the Temple of Incantation," Klonor said coldly. "Why don"t we stay and see if we can help?"
Vannes was already in a terrible state. He knew that the three great tribes would not be able to get rid of this group of leeches. Naturally, he had no time to care about them. He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Please do as you please!"
...
While the Tree Spirits were investigating the cause of the explosion at the Temple of Incantation, Fang Heng had already left the temple via secondary s.p.a.ce projection and returned to the Federation"s base in his bat form.
This trip was fruitful.
Apart from the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, reaching a new level during the mature stage, also obtained six more sacrificial jars.
When he returned, he could build a Temple for Incantation.
At that time, he would not need to rely on the power of the leaf tribe. He could completely farm the dimensional energy himself and become self-sufficient.
He was delighted!
Soon, Fang Heng returned to OmniTech Company"s research inst.i.tute.
Cleriway had already started to build the Abe Akaya teleportation magic array in the research inst.i.tute.
It was estimated that it would be completed very soon.
Fang Heng had communicated with Abe Akaya earlier.
With his current abilities, he could easily simulate the construction of a Temple of Incantation.
However, it required time and energy.
It was estimated that it would take three to four days to completely simulate the construction.
He considered that if he wanted to farm endlessly in the future, the biggest problem would still be Nature"s Heart Crystal.
He could purchase the white frost stones, he still had plenty of Leaf of Life left, he could set up the magic array, he had also s.n.a.t.c.hed the sacrificial jars, and he could still build the Temple of Incantation through Abe Akaya.
The only way to absorb the dimensional energy was through Nature"s Heart Crystal.
This item was a consumable.
However, the creation method of Nature"s Heart was still unknown, and most of the Nature"s Heart Crystals were still in the hands of the tree spirits.
Sandy had also read through many ancient books and records, but she had yet to find any clues.
"Looks like I have to think of a way to get more from the tree spirits..."
While they were discussing, Ji Haiting walked into the room with a stack of doc.u.ments in his hand. "Everyone is here. Fang Heng, did your trip go well?"
"Not bad." Fang Heng looked at Ji Haiting and nodded. "Boss Ji, I was just looking for you. How"s the research on the Nature"s Heart Crystal going?"
"Yes, we"ve a.n.a.lyzed it. The Nature"s Heart is a mutated energy combination. With our current technology, I"m afraid we can"t replicate it. However, we"ve recently discovered that there have been some conflicts between the major tribes in the Inner World. It seems that they"re fighting over the Nature"s Heart Crystal and sacrificial jars."
