Chapter 2364 Clues
Prince of the vampires, Carl, walked up to Fang Hengâs side and watched the two figures departing quietly. He asked in a low voice, âYour Majesty, the Federation has prepared to deploy on the outskirts of the Root tribeâs habitat. Are we still planning to act?â
Fang Heng gazed into the distance at the Root tribeâs camp and shook his head, saying in a deep voice, âThereâs no need. Have them stop immediately.â
Prideâs strength currently surpassed his own. Forcefully attacking the Root tribeâs camp would not yield favorable results and might even provoke hostility from Pride.
For now, maintaining the current situation was acceptable to him.
Fang Heng had a premonition that Pride was scheming something within the Root tribeâs camp, otherwise, he wouldnât be so accommodating.
âWe have less than four days left,â Fang Heng said. âInform the Federation to temporarily seal off this area. The black fog pollution here is very dangerous and thereâs a risk of it spreading.â
âUnderstood!â
âŠ
âIs that so? Both the Leaf tribe and the Wood TribeâŠâ
Within the Soul tribeâs habitat, Elder Jeno listened to Tippyâs statement, his tone tinged with some sorrow.
âThey have chosen these paths themselves; we cannot interfere. For now, we need to unite all our strength to find ways to control the spread of pollutionâŠâ Jeno pondered, tapping his fingers on the wooden armrest of his chair, then continued, âIn any case, we must first find a way to confine the pollution to the âInner Worldâ, to buy us more time.â
Tippy nodded. âYes, Great Elder, I understand. Iâve already arranged for someone to establish contact with the Root tribeâŠâ
Just as she was speaking, a Soul tribe guard entered and whispered a few words in Tippyâs ear.
Tippyâs expression changed.
âTippy, whatâs wrong?â
âReporting, Great Elder, Fang Heng has arrived and is currently waiting outside the Great Hall. Additionally, he brings very bad news.â
âWhat is it?â
âThe Root tribe has been completely overtaken by pollution and has become servants of Shaluba. Currently, Shaluba can freely enter and exit the âInner Worldâ through the Root tribeâs passages.â
The Great Elder Jeno of the Soul tribe fell silent for a moment, eventually letting out a heavy sigh.
âIs that so⊠What a pity.â
âIn that holy war, many were affected by pollution and became puppets of Shaluba. From that moment on, they completely lost their divine consciousness and stood against us, becoming enemies. This is also the most terrifying aspect of Shaluba.â
Tippy asked, âGreat Elder, thereâs another matter. Have you ever heard of the White Abyss?â
âThe White Abyss⊠The White AbyssâŠâ
Jeno muttered the name softly to himself several times, then shook his head and looked at Tippy, saying, âIâve never heard of it. What place is that?â
âWe discovered some clues about the White Abyss in the records we unearthed from the temple ruins of the Elders Council in the Inner World. According to the records, the ancestors of the tree spirit tribe obtained the Nightfall Stone from the White Abyss. We will continue our investigation in hopes of making further discoveries.â
âWell done, Tippy. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.â
âFor the continuation of our tribe, I will spare no effort,â Tippy solemnly replied. âThere is another matter to report, Great Elder. With the help of the vampires, we successfully teleported all the data from the temple in such a short time. I believe the vampires can assist us in countering the demonic seed Shaluba. Please authorize Fang Heng and his companions to enter the treehouses of the Soul tribe habitat to search for relevant books and information.â
âVery well, proceed. From now on, all decisions regarding the demonic seed will be entrusted to you. You are the next in line to be the Great Elder of the Soul tribe, and itâs time for you to take charge.â
âThank you for your trust, Elder!â
Tippy nodded and left hurriedly.
Leaving the Great Hall, Tippy was led by a guard of the Soul tribe to the resting hall, where Sandy and Fang Heng were waiting. She nodded immediately upon seeing them. âBoth of you, the Great Elder has agreed to allow you to examine the ancient books in the treehouses. Please follow me.â
âAlright!â
Sandyâs face lit up with excitement.
Among all the tribes, the Soul tribe had the most complete collection of ancient books from the ancient times of the tree spirits.
Upon returning to the âInner Worldâ, the Soul tribe was the first to enter the Elders Council and various sealed lands, gathering all available ancient books and documents, and carefully storing them in the treehouses of the Soul tribe.
In addition, a significant portion of the Soul tribeâs library consists of cipher books used for decrypting encrypted information.
They spent half a day transporting a large number of ancient books from the hidden temple of the Elders Council, which will require cipher books for translation.
Fang Heng followed Tippy into the Soul tribe camp until they entered the treehouse caves, where he realized the vast extent of the ancient books stored by the Soul tribe.
âWow, itâs so huge?â
Seeing a tree hollow about the size of a football field filled with shelves, Sandy was also astonished.
The treehouse was oval-shaped, resembling a sports stadium.
Every wall was divided into wooden grids, filled with layers of books.
Tippy nodded, feeling a bit emotional herself.
âWhen the Great Elder left the âInner Worldâ, he carried a vast amount of ancient books. I was curious at the time, but now I think the Elders Council must have been prepared to confront the forces of pollutionâŠâ
Sandy rubbed his hands together, ready to get to work.
âLetâs begin. Which layer contains the cipher books?â
Most of the newly acquired ancient books were encrypted by the Elders Council, making complete decryption a time-consuming task.
To aid in this effort, Tippy enlisted the help of fellow tribespeople to assist in translating the books.
Tippy raised her hand gently, causing a wooden shelf from a distant wall to slowly descend, its vines carefully placing one book after another onto a round table.
âThese are all cipher books, arranged chronologically according to the terms of each sacred tree.â
Upon hearing about the ciphers, Fang Heng felt a headache coming on. His zombie clone, unable to assist with translating such information, stood idly by for a while before realizing he couldnât be of much help. He decided to rest his eyes and prepare for a while.

After a while, feeling drowsy, Fang Heng opened his eyes again to see Sandy still enthusiastically translating information. Unable to stifle a yawn, he asked, âHowâs it going?â
Sandy waved a hand dismissively without looking back, casually replying, âNot so fast. Weâre just getting started.â
Fang Heng shrugged helplessly.
The game mission seemed to have hit a dead end at this stage. Well, since they couldnât find any clues about the White Abyss in the game for now, perhaps it was time to log out and brainstorm outside the game.
Fang Heng exchanged a brief farewell with Tippy, then followed the Soul tribe guard back to the guest room to rest, logging off right there.

Returning to offline mode, Fang Heng immediately messaged personnel from Black Castle, Old Black, and Starfish Company, inquiring about any leads related to the White Abyss.
Starfish Company responded promptly, asking if Fang Heng had stumbled upon another hidden game event named White Abyss. They expressed strong interest in participating together, suggesting a joint effort to exploit resources within the game world, and offered highly favorable terms.
