Chapter 2335 The Chase

After waiting for a moment, Fang Heng's face lit up with joy as the game hints continuously refreshed.

They're here, they're here!

Nature's Heart Crystal!

The sacrificial jar!

And the branches of the sacred tree!

Haha!

What a great harvest!

...

Outside, despite Senzo and his team rus.h.i.+ng to the secret warehouse area immediately upon discovering the explosion, they were still delayed by a portion of polluted black fog obstructing the pa.s.sage.

Furthermore, some pa.s.sages were completely blocked due to collapses.

Upon seeing that collapsed stones obstructed the forward area, guards from the Leaf tribe swiftly moved forward to start clearing the debris.

Suddenly, Senzo sharply sensed something and turned to look towards the front s.p.a.ce.

There!

Senzo perceived a spatial fluctuation.

Someone was there!

The more frequently secondary s.p.a.ce projection was used in a short period, the larger the resulting spatial fluctuations, making it easier to detect.

Due to Fang Heng's continuous use of the skill, the spatial fluctuations he caused could now be sensed and captured by most of the elders present.

Although they couldn't attack, everyone could feel something piercing through the s.p.a.ce of the ruins ahead.

"Fang Heng!!"

Senzo bellowed loudly, immediately following his spatial perception, taking a big step forward.

"Stay right there!"

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

The previous uses of spatial projection had gone too smoothly, causing him to lose some vigilance.

Never would he have imagined that Senzo could track the cues of secondary s.p.a.ce projection!

The Great Elder Senzo's figure flickered repeatedly, pinpointing Fang Heng's exit point from the secondary s.p.a.ce projection and relentlessly pursuing it. The moment Fang Heng emerged from the spatial projection, Senzo launched a fist forward with a resounding boom.

"Bang!!"

The moment Fang Heng emerged from the secondary s.p.a.ce projection, Senzo's precise fist struck his right scapula, sending him flying backward with force!

Instantly, dense vines sprouted rapidly from the point where Senzo's blow landed, covering over half of Fang Heng's shoulder.

[Hint: The player has received 110,000 points of combined damage. The player's talent 'undying body' has taken effect. The damage will be shared by the zombie clones.]

[Hint: The player has received the effects of vine parasitism, power seal, entanglement, life drain, and Nature's Curse. The player's various attributes are continuously extracted...]

[Hint: The player is being tracked by an unknown force.]

Fang Heng stared at the game hints on his retina, deeply alarmed.

Elder Senzo's strength surpa.s.sed Vannes by more than a notch!

A single punch effortlessly dealt damage in the six-figure range, accompanied by various negative effects, including tracking.

Trouble!

Senzo scrutinized Fang Heng's face, his anger deepening!

He was convinced that Fang Heng was somehow involved in the destruction of the sacred tree.

He must detain Fang Heng at all costs!

Whoos.h.!.+

However, what astonished Senzo greatly was that as Fang Heng was punched out, faint sparkles of light began to appear around him once again.

"Trying to escape!?"

"Stop him!"

Simultaneously, a barrage of natural arrows from the elders beside Senzo rained down on Fang Heng!

Unfortunately, they were a step too late. By the time the arrows landed, Fang Heng had already stepped into another secondary s.p.a.ce projection.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

All the attacks exploded on the rocky wall behind Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng!"

Senzo clenched his fists.

Fang Heng's spatial abilities were incredibly elusive. In just a momentary pause, he had vanished without a trace.

"He hasn't gone far. Seal off the inner region, stop him!"

Fortunately, during the recent attack, Senzo had managed to place a tracking spell on him.

Senzo immediately moved forward to pursue Fang Heng.

"Hey, Senzo."

At this moment, Tam Sangga and the Wood tribe behind him blocked Senzo's path.

"Don't be in such a rush. You owe me an explanation," Tam Sangga said calmly.

Senzo forcibly suppressed his rising anger and spoke in a low voice, "Tam Sangga, the person who just left was Fang Heng. He's closely connected to the destruction of the sacred tree. Once we find him, everything will be clear..."

Tam Sangga looked at Senzo and chuckled coldly, "Senzo, your acting skills are quite inferior, aren't they?"

"What did you say?!"

"Do you think you can dismiss everything that happened before by blaming some human whose name we've never heard? Do you think I'll believe you just because you say so?"

"Tam Sangga!"

Senzo watched helplessly as the tracking signal from Fang Heng grew weaker and weaker.

"Hmph!" Tam Sangga looked coldly at Senzo. "What's the matter? Want to teach me a lesson yourself?"

Meanwhile, Fang Heng had no idea that the Wood tribe was "helping" him by blocking his pursuers. After entering another secondary s.p.a.ce projection, he swiftly fled from the Leaf tribe's camp.

He felt something was odd.

He had expected that escaping while under Senzo's tracking would require effort. Yet, using the secondary s.p.a.ce projection skill alone allowed him to quickly leave the underground pa.s.sage without encountering any resistance along the way.

Not a single obstacle hindered him along the route.

Until the tracking effect completely faded, he encountered no pursuit from the Leaf tribe.

Although he found it somewhat strange, Fang Heng didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, he now had three branches of the sacred trees in his possession.

Even if these items were designated for a low-tier game world, they would keep him occupied for several days.

Time to move on!

Back to grind it out!

Let's go all out!

After leaving the Leaf tribe's habitat, Fang Heng wasted no time in rus.h.i.+ng back to the Zombie Apocalypse world.

Finally, Fang Heng glanced back at the Leaf tribe camp once again submerged in ruins.

The next time he returned, the overall strength of the vampires should be enough to confront the tree spirit tribe head-on.

...

[Hint: Abe Akaya has absorbed dimensional energy. Current energy storage: 321,700,000.]

Rows of game hints flashed quickly across Fang Heng's retina.

For a full five days, he had relentlessly grinded without pause!

Even Fang Heng's eyes showed a hint of bloodshot.

Among the three sacred tree branches he had acquired earlier, one corresponded to a mid-tier game world.

The energy contained within mid-tier worlds was significantly higher than normal worlds, requiring three full days just to reach the bottom of its absorption potential, even with the acceleration from a batch of sacrificial vessels.

[Warning: 120 hours of protection time remaining for the current game reward world. After the protection of the world ends, other game forces and players can enter the World of Forests through an unknown method.]

Only five days left.

Once the game protection time ended, the Holy Court pursuers would resume their chase.

Feeling the urgency, Fang Heng downed two cans of concentrated coffee to bolster his spirits. He then turned to Prince Carl of the vampires standing beside the magic array and asked, "Carl, how are things going in the game recently?"

Carl approached respectfully and reported, "Sir, during this period, our overall strength as vampires has significantly increased. We have seen a large influx of humans willing to join our ranks. We have already issued decrees concerning the purification of our vampire bloodlines to prevent excessive expansion. According to your plan, we have begun selecting high-quality individuals from the Human Federation to spread the vampire bloodline in the World of Forests."
