Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2207  The Rescue

Taking advantage of the distraction caused by the tree spirit tribe fighting over the seed and dealing with the stone spirit puppets, Fang Heng quietly stood up and made his way toward the periphery of the Ring of the Ages exit.

Just as he was about to leave, Fang Heng couldn't help but shout back.

"Elder Vannes, make sure to protect the essence of the sacred tree. I'm going to seek help from Great Elder Senzo!"

Indeed!

It was the essence of the sacred tree!

Upon hearing Fang Heng's words, the surrounding tree spirit tribe members had no more doubts!

The essence of the sacred tree was crucial for nurturing the sacred tree!

They wouldn't let Vannes and his group leave easily!

Already under pressure from all sides, Vannes, upon hearing Fang Heng's words from afar, his expression turned even colder, cursing Fang Heng as a fool.

What's the meaning of this? If you're running away, just run away. Why shout about getting reinforcements?

Even if he really intended to get reinforcements, was it necessary to shout it out so openly for everyone to hear?

At this moment, most of the tree spirit tribe's attention was focused on Vannes' group and the stone spirit puppets. Initially, they didn't pay much attention to a human who was just trying to escape, so Fang Heng was allowed to slip away from the encirclement.

Furthermore, Fang Heng had already used his vampire bloodline ability to manipulate the remaining two seeds, tightly wrapping them in elite blood and using the bloody mist to mask the natural energy overflow from the essence of the sacred tree.

Although it couldn't be completely concealed and saura leaked out, it was incomparable to the natural energy ripple from the seed in Vannes' hands.

The tree spirit tribe naturally ignored it, thinking it was just residue from Fang Heng's previous contact with the essence of the sacred tree.

Who could have imagined that Fang Heng had secretly kept two seeds?

However, upon hearing Fang Heng's mention of calling for reinforcements, someone from the tree spirit tribe immediately chased after him, attempting to intercept him.

"You want to run? Don't let him call for reinforcements!"

At the edge of the battlefield, several members of the Root tribe chased after Fang Heng.

"Huh..."

A smirk appeared on Fang Heng's lips. In the next moment, vines began to rapidly coil and twist around his feet.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng suddenly accelerated, leaping forward from the ground with a swift motion!

"Huh?"

Several pursuing tree spirit tribe members couldn't help but emit a light gasp.

They saw Fang Heng's agile movements as he swiftly broke free from the entangling roots, putting sdistance between himself and them.

What's going on?

Was he that agile in his movements?

It seemed like he hadn't sustained too much injury after all.

Was it all a disguise before?

As several tree spirit tribe members were about to pursue, they found Fang Heng's figure completely disappearing from the forward space after a few leaps.

Losing track of Fang Heng, they could only stop and look at each other.

This human...

He was too peculiar!

On the other side, Fang Heng stepped into a secondary space projection and quickly headed towards the outskirts of the Elders Council.

With the tree spirit tribe's abilities significantly enhanced after the spiritual domain network blockade was disrupted, his escape skills were not weak either.

If he was determined to flee, ordinary people couldn't stop him.

Let Vannes and the others help distract the firepower!

Escape first!

This time, Fang Heng had outsmarted Vannes. To avoid any further trouble, he thought he should quickly go find Elder Senzo and collect the mission reward.

He also decided to help Vannes by calling for reinforcements.

With that in mind, Fang Heng exited the secondary space projection and transformed into his bat form, heading towards the gathering place of the tree spirits.

...

Inside the tree spirits' Elders Council, the conflicts between the various tribes had reached their conclusion, and they were now regrouping at the periphery of the council in four directions, maintaining a safe distance and remaining vigilant.

Fang Heng returned to the temporary base of the Leaf tribe, descending from the air and reverting to his human form.

"I need to find Elder Senzo, it's urgent."

The two Leaf tribe members at the entrance to the temporary base were unaware of what had occurred, but it was evident that Elder Senzo had given them instructions. Upon seeing Fang Heng, they nodded and led him into the base.

"Great Elder."

"You're back? So soon? What about them?" Senzo sensed a hidden ripple of sacred tree aura emanating from Fang Heng, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Elder Vannes has run into serious trouble," Fang Heng pretended to be anxious, quickly recounting the events he had encountered, omitting the part where he intentionally triggered the withering of the sacred tree's main body to condense its power, as well as the fact that he had two additional seeds hidden on his person.

Senzo's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Before entering the Elders Council, there was an unspoken agreement among the various tribes that to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, none of the elders at the Great Elder level from each tribe would personally engage in the conflict.

Each tribe had to rely on their own abilities to obtain as many Nature's Heart Crystals as they could from the Altar of the Wood God.

According to Senzo's original prediction, it would have been great if Fang Heng could find a few Nature's Heart Crystals in the Altar of the Wood God and bring them out of the Ring of the Ages. It was just a matter of luck.

Never did he expect that Fang Heng would hit the jackpot this time!

Fang Heng actually managed to find the essence of the sacred tree from the Altar of the Wood God!

But why?

Why did the Elders Council initiate the final stage of the sacred tree ahead of schedule?

Senzo was momentarily puzzled.

This is not good!

Senzo quickly realized that now was not the tto dwell on these thoughts.

Vannes and the others must be in serious trouble.

If it was just the Nature's Heart Crystals, the tribes could still maintain restraint, but once it involved the essence of the sacred tree...

Even the Great Elders within the tribes would be unable to resist taking action!

Senzo said in a deep voice, "Immediately gather the personnel. We will go to rescue Vannes together. Since we have found the essence of the sacred tree, it belongs to us naturally, and we will not allow it to fall into the hands of other tribes!"

The Leaf tribe members responded in unison, "Understood!"

Seeing the Leaf tribe members around him preparing to move out for the rescue, Fang Heng asked, "Elder Senzo, what exactly is the essence of the sacred tree? Is it really that important?"

"It's extremely important!" Senzo's expression turned serious, his tone resolute. "For us, the Leaf tribe, we must obtain the essence of the sacred tree. It must not fall into the hands of other tribes."

"Elder Senzo, it seems there are sthings you haven't told me."

Senzo looked coldly at Fang Heng, "Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing for you."

"Fair enough," Fang Heng shrugged. "Then letguess. I suppose it's related to the selection of the next Elders Council and leader of the tree spirit tribe, isn't it? Cultivating the next sacred tree? The essence of the sacred tree is crucial for cultivating the sacred tree of the leaf tribe, right?"

Senzo looked at Fang Heng, his expression slightly surprised. Clearly, he hadn't expected Fang Heng to know about the cultivation of the next sacred tree.

"It seems you know quite a bit."

Senzo initially didn't want Fang Heng to know too much about their tree spirit tribe, but seeing that Fang Heng already knew quite a bit, he decided not to hide it any longer.

"You're correct. The leaders of the tree spirit tribe in each generation are selected through the cultivation of the sacred tree. Whichever tribe successfully cultivates the most thriving sacred tree ultimately becomes the leader of the tree spirit tribe."
