Chapter 2289 Repair
Fang Heng stepped forward and squatted down to inspect the magic array slab.
"Great, the stone slab is still intact, and the magic array on top has already been repaired by the Wood tribe. No need for further repairs."
As for modifications... He"d make do for now.
Fang Heng placed the sacrificial jar he had brought in the center of the magic array.
Under his control, over a dozen zombie clones took their positions in various corners of the dimensional absorption magic array.
"Let"s get started!"
Fang Heng took a deep breath, and the illusion of the magic array in his right eye began to spin rapidly.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
As the magic array slab beneath his feet spun rapidly, the ground trembled slightly.
In the distance, tall figures gradually emerged from the vast white snow.
While controlling the magic array, Fang Heng glanced at the monsters emerging in the distance.
It was Frost Apes. It was a familiar ice-type creature.
It seemed that the Winter City domain belonged to a low-tier game world.
The towering Frost Apes boasted impressive basic attributes and excelled in close combat. Occasionally, they would hurl s...o...b..a.l.l.s as attacks.
Easy pickings for the Lickers!
The zombie clones quickly condensed into flesh coc.o.o.ns on the spot.
"Chi! Chi!"
The next moment, the flesh coc.o.o.ns burst open, and the Lickers swiftly darted out, pouncing on the snow creatures in all directions!
Both sides were close-combat creatures, and when they closed the distance, it became a fierce battle!
The Frost Apes swung their fists vigorously at the Lickers!
With Fang Heng"s enhancements, the Lickers" basic attributes far surpa.s.sed those of the Frost Apes in all aspects.
They even gained a significant advantage.
Usually, when the Frost Apes landed a punch, the Lickers were merely pushed back a short distance.
No injuries!
Meanwhile, the Lickers" sharp claws could easily penetrate the Frost Apes" fur, leaving large wounds on their bodies!
Soon, the scene turned into a one-sided bloodbath!
After a brief scan of the battlefield, Fang Heng relaxed.
There were no major issues.
With the current low absorption efficiency of the magic array, the Frost Apes couldn"t breach the Lickers" defensive circle.
It was time to focus on enhancing the absorption efficiency of the sacrificial jar!
Periphery the Temple of Incantation, upon receiving the news that Fang Heng intended to confront the leaf tribe directly, Ji Haiting promptly rushed to meet Mo Jiawei.
"It"s confirmed. Judging by the leaf tribe"s route, they"re most likely heading for the Temple of Incantation."
"How long until they arrive?"
"Two hours. If we send someone to intercept, we can buy some extra time."
"Does the Federation have any suggestions?" Mo Jiawei inquired after a moment"s thought.
Ji Haiting nodded. "The Federation"s suggestion is to temporarily avoid confrontation. Currently, they believe they"re not equipped to engage the tree spirits directly. However, if Fang Heng decides to take on the tree spirits, the Federation is ready to lend a hand. A fight wouldn"t be out of the question for them."
"Then let"s have the Federation prepare. We"ll take on the leaf tribe directly."
Modifying this temple took some effort.
With Mr. Fang"s temperament, would he bolt the moment he heard the tree spirits were on their way?
Most likely not.
No matter what, he was determined to make the leaf tribe face some consequences.
"Alright!" Ji Haiting nodded vigorously.
During this time, he and the Federation hadn"t been idle. They had been fully focused on enhancing the abilities of their psychic transformers.
Now that the elite team of psychic transformers had achieved breakthroughs in equipment and training, they had initially planned to invite Fang Heng over for guidance.
It just so happened that they could conduct another practical test this time.
Ji Haiting couldn"t help but chuckle. He had indeed become a bit overconfident during this period. He dared to think of using the leaf tribe as a test subject.
"Report!" A subordinate hurried over and reported to Ji Haiting, "The Federation has sent troops on their way and is preparing to deploy defenses around the temple."
"Dealing with the leaf tribe with sheer numbers won"t work. Tell the Federation we don"t need many troops. We need elite forces."
"Understood!"
Soon, the federal operations department teams arrived one after another, beginning to set up an ambush periphery of the temple.
...
As the magic array in the Temple of Incantation"s main hall accelerated once more, Fang Heng returned with a vial of the sacrificial jar.
"Fang Heng, how"s the absorption of dimensional energy?"
"Not bad."
The magic array had yet to be modified, so its efficiency was a bit slower, but it was acceptable.
Fang Heng stepped out of the magic array and set down the sacrificial jar.
Kleinman, the head of the operation sent by the Federation, approached and bowed to Fang Heng. He said firmly, "Mr. Fang Heng, I"m Kleinman, the overall leader of this operation. Vannes, leading the leaf tribe team, is heading this way. They"re expected to arrive in an hour and ten minutes. Here"s the communicator prepared for you."
"Yes, Kleinman, we"ve met before." Fang Heng nodded, taking the communicator from Kleinman and fastening it to his collar.
Minister Ray"s voice came through the communicator, "Fang Heng, I"m Ray Changhong, deputy director of the Federation"s military department. Based on our remote tracking, the leaf tribe has dispatched a total of 32 individuals. After comparing photos, we"ve confirmed the presence of dangerous leaf tribe elders, Vannes, and Ian."
Fang Heng furrowed his brow, realizing that the situation was becoming challenging.
In the leaf tribe team, there were at least two leaf tribe elders.
One of them was Vannes. Vannes"s strength surpa.s.sed that of an average elder.
It was going to be tough to deal with.
However, Abe Akaya seemed eager to take them on.
It appeared that after reaching the mature stage, Abe Akaya had become somewhat overconfident and wanted to spar with the leaf tribe.
"We"re planning to set up an ambush inside the temple. Once we"re inside, we"ll immediately launch an all-out attack."
"No, there"s no need for that. I"ll have a word with the leaf tribe first. You guys retreat from the Temple of Incantation and set up an ambush on the outskirts. Wait for my signal before taking action."
Ray Changhong furrowed his brow.
This battle plan seemed a bit too risky.
Fang Heng was crucial to their entire psychic scholar"s breakthrough and transformation plan. They couldn"t afford any mishaps.
"But Fang Heng, your safety..."
"Don"t worry, I have a plan to escape."
"Alright, please be cautious." Ray Changhong decided to trust Fang Heng.
The Federation attached great importance to this operation.
The leaf tribe"s intrusion deep into Federation territory, directly targeting Fang Heng, clearly showed their disregard for the Federation.
It was an opportunity to test their mettle.
After all, they had the advantage of the battlefield.
Plus, they had Fang Heng"s cooperation.
With multiple advantages, they had to make the leaf tribe suffer!
The Federation military immediately issued orders for various teams to disperse and set up ambushes" periphery of the temple.
Once most of the unrelated personnel had left, Fang Heng turned to Cleriway.
"Get ready. We"re going to activate the magic array."
"Got it!"
Before the leaf tribe arrived, they needed to test the activation of the magic array.
Fang Heng stood in front of the magic array, infusing it with energy.
Several Marquises of the vampires stood around the magic array, a.s.sisting in its control.
A faint red light emanated from the magic array.
Specks of dimensional energy overflowed from the sacrificial jar and were absorbed by Abe Akaya almost instantly.
