Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2252  Bloom

The blossoming of natural energy caused the three elders engaged in combat with Vannes to change their expressions instantly.

"What?!"

It's the power of the sacred tree!

"Humm...!"

The pale blue energy rapidly emanated from the Temple of Incantation, overflowing outward.

Under the cyan light, verdant climbing vines rapidly grew along the Temple of Incantation, spreading throughout the temple in an instant, enveloping it and even spreading rapidly outward toward the earth outside the temple!

The area covered with climbing vine vegetation seemed to provide the Leaf tribe with a continuous supply of energy, dispelling their fatigue and restoring their strength to its peak, even increasing by another level!

However, the other three major tribes felt differently.

The vines covering the ground beneath their feet seemed to absorb their strength, leaving them feeling weary as their strength rapidly diminished.

"Watch out for those vines!! Fall back!!"

Several elders recognized the sacred tree vines and shouted for their people to retreat, quickly moving away from the area covered by the vines.

The three major tribes dared not to continue fighting in the vicinity of the vine-covered domain, instead retreating and maintaining a distance from the Leaf tribe.

"Leaf tribe!"

The Root tribe elder surveyed the forest ahead, his expression somewhat peculiar. "I didn't expect them to bring the sapling of the sacred tree here."

He found it strange.

How could the Leaf tribe store such an important sapling of the sacred tree in the Temple of Incantation?

"It's not hard to guess. Today is different from the past. With the loss of the protection of the old sacred tree, gaining control of the Temple of Incantation requires the sapling of the sacred tree to be nurtured again. The Leaf tribe probably had no choice but to do so."

"I see."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

The Root tribe elder then realized something and turned to glance at the Wood tribe beside him.

Wow!

So they knew all along.

That meant these people...

Their goal was not just to reclaim the temple.

But rather...

The Root tribe looked towards the temple shrouded by the domain of vines, a hint of greed reflected in their eyes.

Indeed.

The sacred tree sapling nurtured by the Leaf tribe.

Who wouldn't want it?

After the brief confrontation with the Leaf tribe, the three major tribes all realized that the Leaf tribe's strength had significantly increased once again.

The overall strength of a tribe is directly proportional to the strength of the sacred tree they nurture.

If this continues, the Leaf tribe will likely emerge as the final victor in the battle over the sacred tree.

If they could seize this opportunity to divide and devour the sacred tree sapling of the Leaf tribe...

The Root tribe elder licked his lips lightly and asked, "What do you all think?"

"It's very troublesome, but we've long anticipated it, haven't we?" said Klonor, the elder of the Wood tribe, his eyes revealing unabashed ferocity. "No wonder the Leaf tribe has been so audacious. They must be fearless, disregarding their own kin and resorting to massacre. How long can they keep this up? I'm curious to see how much energy they have to squander on the sacred tree sapling!"

In its sapling state, the sacred tree's strength is weak and requires continuous external energy supply to unleash its power.

So the most direct and simplest way is...

Charge straight in!

Rush over!

Find a way to deplete the strength of the sacred tree sapling!

That's the plan!

"Let's go together! Break through the sapling barrier!"

Klonor, the elder of the Wood tribe, let out a disdainful snort and raised his hand in a signal.

His Wood tribe subordinates all used long-range spells to bombard the Temple of Incantation directly.

They didn't aim to kill, just to consthe energy of the sacred tree sapling through remote attacks.

Being tree spirit tribes, they were very aware of each other's weaknesses.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

Wooden spikes exploded one after another around the periphery of the Temple of Incantation.

The barrier formed by the vines firmly protected the temple within.

Similarly, the energy layer of the sacred tree sapling was greatly affected, rapidly weakening.

Seeing this, Vannes furrowed his brows, let out a cold snort, and shouted to his companions, "They want to deplete the energy of the sacred tree sapling! Stop them!"

With that, Vannes led the Leaf tribe warriors charging out again.

Watching the two sides engage in combat again, Fang Heng remained at the back observing.

Things are getting intense!

The fluctuations in strength released by the sacred tree sapling are incredibly strong!

Which side should Fang Heng root for?

After sthought, he decided it's best to have the Leaf tribe emerge victorious again, while the other three tribes are severely injured and retreat. Then he could go in and claim the heads.

And maybe figure out a way to get hold of the sacred tree sapling of the Leaf tribe.

As he pondered, Fang Heng noticed two members of the Leaf tribe walking out from the rear hall.

The expression of these Leaf tribe individuals was solemn, and they whispered a few words to Ovi, who was nearby.

Upon hearing this, Ovi's expression also becunusually solemn, and he quietly turned around and headed towards the rear.

Fang Heng's curiosity was piqued, so he promptly followed.

"Ovi, what's going on?" Fang Heng asked.

Without looking back, Ovi continued walking along the passage behind the Temple of Incantation and replied, "Fang Heng, Elder Farouk urgently summoned me. It might be trouble with the sacred tree sapling."

"I'll cwith you. Maybe I can help," Fang Heng said as he followed.

Ovi felt anxious in his heart and didn't refuse.

Soon, Ovi returned to a side hall of the Temple of Incantation with several Leaf tribe guards.

In the hall, Elder Farouk was seated in the center of a large magic array.

Hmm?

Fang Heng's eyes widened.

He had never seen this magic array before.

It wasn't there when the federation searched the temple!

It must have been set up recently!

Looking again, he saw Farouk holding a clump of green sapling spreading out waves of green energy!

Fang Heng sensed a strong natural aura!

Under the influence of the sapling's energy fluctuations, vines were flourishing all around!

The moment Fang Heng saw the sapling, his heart thumped heavily, his gaze drawn to it.

The sacred tree sapling!

This thing was likely the sacred tree nurtured in secret by the major tribes!

Beside Farouk, six members of the Leaf tribe were sitting around the magic array, focusing on operating the ritual magic array.

Placed at the center of the ritual magic array was a golden jar!

The sacrificial jar!

Fang Heng recognized the jar at first glance.

Faint golden light spots overflowed from the jar, forming starry dots like the Milky Way in the air, drifting slowly towards the sapling in Farouk's hand.

A peculiar glint flickered in Fang Heng's eyes, and the omniscient eye in his right pupil began to rotate.

Combined with the magic array under everyone's feet...

He already understood.

Through the operation of the magic array, the vessel of sacrifice contained energy that could be absorbed by the sacred tree sapling, which would then release energy!

That's the deal.

But it's strange.

Why would the sacred tree sapling be here?

Shouldn't this thing be protected with all the Leaf tribe's might for their future?

But no tto think about that now!

What needs to be done is to memorize the structure and operation of the magic array.

The phantom of the magic array in Fang Heng's right pupil rotated rapidly, focusing on the magic array and quickly recording it.
