Chapter 2313 I Want It
Fang Heng casually probed the Leaf tribeās limits, realizing he couldnāt gain any more advantage. He shrugged and said, āAlright, Iāll need to get the sacred tree branches first.ā
āFang Heng, whatever happened before doesnāt matter now. Cooperation is the only way to achieve mutual benefit,ā Senzo remarked, nodding towards Yuri. āElder Yuri, please assist.ā
Yuri nodded slightly, adjusting his breathing against his injuries. āWait here, Iāll fetch the sacred tree branches.ā
āAre you satisfied now? Should I call off our forces outside?ā
āGood.ā
Fang Heng nodded, controlling the retreat of the Lickers outside the Leaf tribeās habitat.
Soon, Yuri returned with two Leaf tribe guards, presenting the sacred tree branches to Fang Heng.
[Hint: The player triggered mission-Trade with the Leaf tribe.]
Mission name: Trade with the Leaf tribe.
Mission difficulty: S~ (Variable difficulty)
Mission description: You have struck a secret deal with the Leaf tribe to confront the Wood tribe jointly. As part of this agreement, the Leaf tribe has advanced the sacred tree branches to you as collateral.
Mission requirements: Collaborate with the Leaf tribe to confront the Wood tribe and achieve a mission completion rate of at least 50%.
Mission reward: Increase the affinity of the Leaf tribe, tree spirit tribe reputation points, and receive the reward of the Leaf tribe.]
Additional description: Mission completion will change the subsequent progress of the game.
When Fang Heng saw the game notification, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The deal with the Leaf tribe was real.
As for whether there were other traps inside, that was another matter for now.
Fang Heng took the sacred tree branch from Elder Yuriās hands.
[Hint: The player obtains item-the sacred tree branch (mission item).]
Description: This item contains a special tracking marker. If the marker is destroyed, the item will be destroyed.
Warning: This item is a special mission item. If it is damaged, lost, or traded, it will significantly reduce friendship with the Leaf tribe and affect the playerās current mission.
Fang Heng quickly glanced over the game hint.
The game only mentioned that the sacred tree branch could not be destroyed, not that it could not be used.
No problem.
He would use it when he got back!
Fang Heng stuffed the branch of the sacred tree back into his backpack.
āGood, itās the sacred tree branch. You can release the spatial lock now.ā
Elder Yuri glanced at Senzo, concentrating an imprint before him.
The green light emanating from the sacred tree gradually dimmed.
āElder Senzo, Iāll release your people once I return. By the way, Iāll be taking the Prayer Temple in your Inner World. When youāre ready, come to the temple and find me.ā
āYouā¦ā
Vannes heard this and his blood pressure, just now under control, skyrocketed once again.
Of course! He knew it! There couldnāt be such a coincidence!
Senzo intercepted the angry Vannes, looked at Fang Heng, and said coldly, āFang Heng, I hope you will keep your promise.ā
āOf course,ā Fang Heng replied. His figure slowly faded and disappeared from everyoneās sight.
Watching Fang Heng leave, the people of the Leaf tribe suddenly showed expressions of resentment.
When had the Leaf tribe ever suffered such a huge loss?!
Vannes was the first to step forward. His face was filled with obvious dissatisfaction as he said in a deep voice, āGreat Elder, what Fang Heng has done is heinous. Are we going to cooperate with him? Do you still want to give him the branches and leaves of the sacred tree?ā
āVannes, control your temper,ā Senzo said with a somber expression. āFang Hengās actions are reprehensible, but his time will come.ā
āAt present, Fang Heng has allied with the Federation. While their combined strength may not directly threaten the sacred tree, it poses significant challenges for us. To win the battle for the sacred treeās cultivation, we must endure silently and use Fang Hengās power to maneuver against the other three tribes.ā
There was a moment of silence among the assembly.
Indeed, the sacred treeās power was formidable, but the Leaf tribeās current situation was dire.
How long could they sustain a confrontation with Fang Heng using the sacred treeās power? And how much leverage did they truly have against him?
āVannes, you need not involve yourself in this cooperation with Fang Heng,ā Senzo continued, his voice carrying weight. āI have more important tasks for you to attend to.ā
Senzo knew that Vannes had a bad temper and could not control himself. He was worried that there would be a mistake, so he was prepared to hand over Fang Hengās cooperation to another elder.ā Remember, our cooperation with Fang Heng is only temporary. Once this matter is over, Fang Heng will die no matter what.ā
āUnderstood, Great Elder!ā
Everyone present knew deep down that the Leaf tribe was gradually heading toward defeat in the battle for the sacred treeās cultivation.
During Fang Hengās absence, the Leaf tribe had not been idle. They had been secretly planning and preparing to strike against the Wood tribe.
They had formulated a preliminary plan.
Though the timing wasnāt ideal, they were running out of time.
They had to take a chance while they still had one.
Doing nothing would certainly lead to their defeat!
Even without Fang Heng, they would have acted soon enough.
Currently, Fang Hengās presence gave them a chance to increase their odds of success.
Despite their intense hatred towards Fang Heng, the Leaf tribe had never been threatened in this manner before.
Senzoās voice was cold as he said, āOnce this matter is settled, Fang Heng will surely pay for his actions!ā
āReport! Great Elder!ā
Just as Senzo was rallying the morale of the Leaf tribe, a guard hurried over and reported, āGreat Elder, we have just inspected the Sacred Tree cultivation area, and we foundā¦ā
Yuri sat up straight, his gaze intensifying on the Leaf tribe guard. āWhat did you discover?ā
āWe found the vessel of sacrifice obtained earlier from the exchange with the Soul tribeā¦ā The guardās forehead beaded with sweat, pausing before continuing, āā¦itās gone.ā
Instantly, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Gone!
Who else could it be?
āFang Heng!ā
Senzo clenched his fists.
āIf I donāt kill you, it will be difficult to appease the hatred in my heart!ā
ā¦
Outside the Leaf tribe settlement, emerging from a spatial projection, Fang Heng swiftly headed towards the periphery of the settlement.
The Licker creatures around the Leaf tribeās habitat had already retreated rapidly, leaving only a group of vampires observing from the nearby dense forest.
Upon seeing Fang Heng return, all the vampires kneeled in unison, āYour Majesty!ā
Fang Heng raised the sacred tree branch in his hand and said, āIāve got what I came for. Letās go back.ā
The vampiresā eyes flickered with excitement.
āYes, Your Majesty!ā
Together, they withdrew.
Once the communication interference caused by the ripple of the sacred tree saplingās power from the Leaf tribe subsided, a message came through wirelessly from the Federation, āMr. Fang Heng, are you okay? Has the attack ended?ā
āYeah, Iāve got what I needed. Also, Iāve reached an agreement with the Leaf tribe. If all goes well, weāll strike against the Wood Tribe within two days.ā
Upon hearing this news, the senior officials within the Federal Command immediately became alert.
āFang Heng, there hasnāt been significant friction between the Wood tribe and the Leaf tribe during this period. Based on the information weāve gathered, while there have been skirmishes among the tree spirit tribes, from our observations, neither side has reached the point of all-out war. Be cautious; there may be deception at play.ā
