Chapter 2209 The Residence

In the temporary base of the Leaf tribe, several members of the Leaf tribe saw Fang Heng wanting to leave, somewhat surprised, "Fang Heng, are you leaving? The Great Elder is already waiting for a.s.sembly at the entrance of the Elders Council."

"Yeah, tell the Great Elder that I was injured when infiltrating the Ring of the Ages earlier, and my strength has greatly diminished. In order not to affect the Great Elder's affairs, I won't follow along for now. I'll come to visit again after everything is over."

Several members of the Leaf tribe looked at each other, realizing that there didn't seem to be a reason to stop Fang Heng.

Before they could say anything else, Fang Heng had already transformed into bat form and quickly departed.

Meanwhile, outside the domain of the Ring of the Ages.

At this moment, n.o.body knew that besides the incomplete seed in Vannes's hands, two intact seeds of the sacred tree had already been taken away by Fang Heng.

All the attention of the tree spirit tribe was focused on Vannes and his group, who were being besieged by the stone spirit puppets.

Vannes and his group were suddenly in a dilemma.

Having obtained the essence of the sacred tree, they naturally didn't want to give it up easily, while also wanting to flee as soon as possible.

But with the remaining three major factions of the tree spirit tribe blocking their way, they wouldn't let them leave easily.

What's more troublesome was that more and more stone spirit puppets were pouring out from the depths of the Ring of the Ages.

The stone spirit puppets seemed to attack indiscriminately, but more of their attacks were focused on them.

"Go! Break through!"

Vannes knew they couldn't hold out for long, blood vessels appearing in his eyes as he once again entered the Tier 2 state.

Even if it cost them their lives, they had to escort the essence of the sacred tree to safety!

"From the right! The Great Elder will come to support us, hurry!"

...

A day later.

Fang Heng, in bat form, landed slowly at the edge of the human camp.

To avoid unnecessary delays, Fang Heng traveled day and night this time.

Even so, it took a full day to return to the temporary camp.

Over the course of three days, under the leaders.h.i.+p of Ji Haiting, the camp had been preliminarily established.

The exclusive research team and security team belonging to OmniTech Company had officially moved in.

Seeing only a few of Ji Haiting's subordinates at the periphery of the camp, Fang Heng inquired and learned that everyone was in the outside world, so he immediately pa.s.sed through the teleportation pa.s.sage back to the Outer World.

Besides the teleportation pa.s.sage in the Outer World, the group was discussing Sandy's latest research findings. When they saw Fang Heng's figure emerge from the pa.s.sage, they stopped their discussion and turned their gaze towards him.

Sandy was the most excited, eagerly approaching, "Mr. Fang, the seeds! Did you get the seeds? Quickly, let's see!"

"Yeah."

Fang Heng opened his hand, presenting the seed enveloped in elite pure blood to everyone.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Sandy was thrilled, leaning in to observe the form of the seed, "This matches perfectly! I've read similar descriptions in books. So, the power of the old sacred tree exists in the form of seeds after extraction!"

Cleriway nodded slightly as she sensed the power emanating from the seed.

She could perceive the vast natural energy overflowing from the seed.

It was probably because Fang Heng was able to envelop the entire seed in rich lifeblood, masking most of its aura.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to sneak the seed out from under the noses of so many tree spirit tribes.

Ji Haiting stood beside everyone, observing.

"Fang Heng, do you need me to take it to the lab for some research?"

"No need."

Fang Heng felt that with the current human technological capabilities, there wouldn't be many discoveries in a short time.

Moreover, once the seed left its own body, it would release strong natural aura fluctuations once it lost the cover of lifeblood.

There were also some tree spirit tribes in the Outer World. If too much time pa.s.sed, they might sense it and cause trouble.

Time was limited, so there was no need to waste it.

"But it can help with the research."

Fang Heng threw a Nature's Heart crystal toward Ji Haiting.

Ji Haiting took the crystal, looked at it with a solemn expression, and then turned to hand it to his subordinates, whispering a few words in their ear, instructing them to conduct the next tier of research.

As for what came next.

Fang Heng lifted his head and glanced at Abe Akaya not far away.

Abe Akaya had already sensed the fluctuations of natural energy in Fang Heng's hands, and the vines came twining towards him, enthusiastically conveying a spiritual construct to Fang Heng.

The mood was cheerful and joyous.

In summary, it was a desire for food.

Fang Heng glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, the ripple caused by the seed's dispersal will be strong. Move back a bit."

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Mo Jiawei listened and extended out to pull Sandy, who kept edging forward, back.

Under the escort of several psychic guards, Ji Haiting also stepped back a distance.

Fang Heng stretched out his hand and retracted the undulating lifeblood surrounding the seed.

"Hiss..."

Without the blood shadow, the elite essence of the seed immediately burst forth with a powerful ripple of natural energy!

A green light rapidly spread outwards!

Visible waves of green natural energy rippled outward from the seed as the center, constantly was.h.i.+ng over the surroundings.

Ji Haiting watched closely, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.

This is one of the powers he possessed been seeking all along!

Just by absorbing the ripple, Abe Akaya's vines appeared restless, even extending further outward.

In fact, on his way here, Fang Heng possessed released the sacred tree seed several times, allowing the inflated balloon to deflate.

After two minutes, the acc.u.mulated natural aura ripple finally dissipated completely.

The auras emitted by the two seeds gradually became calm.

Abe Akaya sensed the powerful power of the seeds and is even more delighted. The vines rapidly wrapped around them, enveloping the entire periphery of the seed, continuously conveying the emotion of 'wanting to devour' to Fang Heng.

Without Fang Heng's command, Abe Akaya didn't actively absorb, but rather lingered beside the seed, absorbing as much of the overflowed natural aura ripple as possible.

A pitiful appearance.

"Go ahead and absorb."

Fang Heng shrugged.

After the seeds were absorbed, the sacred tree could obtain corresponding skills, but initially, the skills possessed a duration limit.

Fang Heng sensed that the time limit is quite long enough for him to find a way to solidify his skills.

"Hiss..."

Abe Akaya immediately transmitted a burst of cheerful emotions, and at the same time, the vines surrounding the seed surged rapidly, enveloping the seed.

The seed radiated a gentle light within the vines.

Once again, natural energy overflowed uncontrollably.

"Hum..."

Even stronger than before, concentric circles of natural energy ripples spread outwards.

On the upper floors of the building, Victor leaned against the iron railings and shouted at Fang Heng, reminding him, "Fang Heng, the energy ripple is too strong, it has exceeded the resistance range of the Niam alloy barrier."
