Fang Heng slowly retracted his gaze.

The sacred tree…the World of Forests.

He did not expect to find the key to the advanced game world so quickly.

But now…

Fang Heng clenched his fists.

It was not time yet.

In this trial, Fang Heng clearly realized that his strength was not enough!

If he barely managed to open the door to the advanced game world, competitors from all over the world would come in droves. His advantage was not obvious.

Regardless of that, the most important thing now was to focus on completing the trial.

Fang Heng temporarily put aside the next stage of Abe Akaya’s upgrade and once again focused on establishing a spiritual connection with Abe Akaya.

In the blue barrier surrounded by layers of vines, Xiao Yun and the others vigilantly examined the vines outside the barrier.

No one was sure what was happening outside.

Everyone was puzzled. Why did the sacred tree, which had been extremely violent just a moment ago, suddenly calm down and stop all attacks?

In the team, an Empire mage tried to analyze, “It might have been affected by the power fluctuations of the holy artifact, the unfair scale. The balance of the field magic in the venue has been broken, causing the vine attack to temporarily fail. The probability of this happening is extremely low. In short, this is our chance. We should take advantage of this to leave this place as soon as possible.”

The advisor brought by another feudal lord had a different opinion.

“That’s not right. The field magic hasn’t disappeared. The vines have only temporarily stopped attacking. In my opinion, this is very likely a trap set by the enemy. They are deliberately luring us out of the range of the barrier to deal us a fatal blow.”

“Can you guarantee that this is a trap? This is our best chance!”

“Even if you can’t guarantee it, can you guarantee that this isn’t a trap set by the enemy? If the enemy stops attacking now, it means that they can’t do anything to us. Once we go out, we will fall into the enemy’s trap…”

Seeing that everyone was arguing, Xiao Yun only felt a buzzing noise in his ears and his head hurt.

“Alright! There’s no need to argue!”

Arbitrator Gernot interrupted everyone’s argument and immediately made a decision. He said, “Listen to my command. Prepare to stop the ritual of the Empire’s holy weapon and escort the holy weapon away.”

Xiao Yun was startled and looked at Gernot.

He saw Gernot lightly shake his head at him.

Xiao Yun immediately understood.

They couldn’t afford to delay.

Even if there was a high probability that it was the enemy’s scheme, they could only try it forcefully!

“Everyone! Prepare for battle! Three! Two…”

The various armies of the Empire were extremely vigilant. They gripped their weapons tightly, waiting to defend themselves the moment the protective barrier disappeared.

“Buzz…!”

Under the command of Arbitrator Gernot, the holy weapon, the unfair scale, lost its effectiveness, and the Holy Light barrier enveloping the outside world suddenly dimmed.

“Ka ka ka…”

Except for a few vines that were originally pressing against the light curtain, which trembled slightly due to the sudden disappearance of the barrier light curtain, the rest of the vines froze on the spot without any changes.

He had succeeded!

The vines did not attack!

They tried their luck and really ran into it!

Xiao Yun’s heart skipped a beat, and he took the lead to step forward, drawing his sword and slashing at the vines blocking the road.

“Chi!!”

Several vines in front of him were cut off by the sword!

However, a small portion of the vines that were attacked immediately surrounded Xiao Yun and launched a counterattack.

Xiao Yun frowned and had to take half a step back to eliminate the vines.

“Everyone, be careful!”

Gernot said in a deep voice, “The vines won’t attack, but they will counterattack when they are hurt! Try not to use area-of-effect spells. The mages are forbidden from using spells. We’ll open a path…”

Xiao Yun waved his hand and gave the command, “Let’s go! Retreat immediately!”

Seeing that the surrounding vine forest still showed no signs of attacking, the soldiers were overjoyed. They immediately arranged themselves into a square formation under the command of the regiment commanders.

The soldiers raised their weapons one after another and broke a path through the vines in front of them!

Originally, the army’s temporary camp was at the edge of the vine forest.

However, after the sacred tree forest of vines went berserk, the area extended for thousands of meters.

If the party wanted to retreat, they would have to cut a path of several kilometers through the forest!

Although it was troublesome, at least they saw hope!

On the distant hill, the players looked at each other hesitantly when they saw the Empire’s army breaking through.

The vine attack had stopped?

Did something happen to Lord Fang Heng? Let them leave?

Younica looked at Ed.

...

Ed quickly contacted Zhuo Lingfang through the survival radio station and shook his head. He said, “Fang Heng is still in Hani City. He was controlling the sacred tree just now. I don’t know the details yet.”

“Captain, should we…”

Younica looked at the Empire’s army that was slowly advancing and shook her head, “There’s no hurry. Lord Fang Heng might have other arrangements. The Empire’s army will be leaving the sacred tree region for some time. Let’s wait and see.”

In the dense forest of vines, Xiao Yun brandished the sword in his hand, continuously hacking at the vines he encountered along the way. The entire Empire’s army was not moving very fast.

The Empire’s soldiers did not dare to make any exaggerated large-scale attacks, nor did they dare to use area-of-effect spells and martial arts techniques. They were afraid that an even more intense attack would stimulate the vines and cause the surrounding vines to counterattack again. After being entangled in the forest for more than ten minutes, they could vaguely see the exit ahead.

Xiao Yun saw hope.

Fortunately, the Empire’s sword saint, Rio Tinto, was assisting him this time.

The sword saint’s grasp of attack power and range far exceeded that of ordinary people. He opened up a small path ahead alone and avoided more trouble.

Otherwise, it would have taken the entire Empire team at least half an hour to leave the vine forest.

There were less than 300 meters left!

Just as Xiao Yun was about to lead his team and leave, the originally quiet vines around them suddenly started to rustle.

...

The vines in the entire forest gradually became restless.

The Empire’s soldiers noticed the commotion around them and immediately slowed down their pace to be wary of their surroundings.

Not good!

Xiao Yun’s face sank.

Arbitrator Gernot immediately said in a deep voice, “Everyone, listen up! Get into formation on the spot and start the ritual!”

The army immediately gathered together and set up a ritual, constantly guarding against the restless vines around them.

Buzz…!

Blue light bloomed again, and a screen of light enveloped the Empire’s army.

Swoosh! Swoosh!!!

Almost at the same time, the surrounding vines regained their offensive nature and pounced toward the barrier light screen!

D*mn it!

They were here again!

The vines came back again and kept knocking on the blue light barrier.

Gernot’s expression was a little ugly as he stared at the outside of the barrier.

Suddenly, Gernot noticed something. His expression gradually turned puzzled and then solemn. Seeing this, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but look in Gernot’s direction..
