Chapter 2399 Complete Body Path
Thinking this, Fang Heng quickly dashed toward another Root tribe elder on the battlefield.
Inside the cave, he moved like a death G.o.d. Any Root tribe elder targeted by him wouldn't survive for even half a minute.
Before long, as the last Root tribe elder fell, the remaining Root tribe guards could no longer withstand the onslaught from the vampires and were slaughtered cleanly.
[Hint: The current bloodline prosperity of the Root tribe has dropped to 0.92%. The Root tribe is officially exterminated.]
"It's done..."
Fang Heng murmured to himself, walking to the center of the cave, his gaze fixed on the sapling of the sacred tree.
Hmm?
Lowering his head to observe the sapling closely, Fang Heng couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
It was strange.
He had seen the saplings of the Wood tribe and Leaf tribe, but compared to those, the Root tribe's appeared distinctly different.
The sapling of the sacred tree was enveloped in a layer of black fog.
This fog seemed to originate from the sapling itself.
Seeing that the battle had come to an end, Tippy walked over to Fang Heng's side, also examining the polluted sapling of the sacred tree. With a serious expression, she quietly said, "Fang Heng, the sapling of the Root tribe's sacred tree has been tainted by the demonic seed Shaluba."
Fang Heng had never heard of this situation before, and his brow furrowed in concern, "The sapling of the sacred tree can also be polluted?"
"Yes," Tippy replied, "I've seen descriptions of similar cases in the ancient books. When this happens, the energy of the sacred tree sapling can no longer be absorbed. If we leave it unchecked, the pollution may spread further. We need to find a way to deal with it."
"Let me take another look," Fang Heng said, nodding slightly as he continued to inspect the sapling.
The sacred tree sapling was indeed polluted, and under the influence of its energy, it had formed a new type of fusion strength. This new power was much stronger than the saplings cultivated by the Leaf tribe and Wood tribe.
Fang Heng contemplated this for a moment before looking at Prince Carl, "Carl, prepare the Abe Akaya summoning magic array."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Prince Carl waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to help set up the Abe Akaya summoning magic array in the corner of the cave.
Seeing that the situation was mostly resolved and confirming that the Root tribe had been exterminated and the demonic seed Shaluba sealed away, Tippy felt an urgency to return to her tribe to report the situation. She nodded and said, "Fang Heng, I will head back to the Elders Council of the soul tribe to inform the Great Elder. If all goes well, we will soon bring a team into the Inner World to start clearing the pollution from the black fog."
Tippy was anxious. The natural environment in the Inner World had already been affected by the aura of the black fog. If they were delayed for too long, it might cause irreversible damage.
"Alright."
Fang Heng watched Tippy leave before turning his attention back to the sacred tree sapling. He didn't care much about the Soul tribe; if they dared to play any tricks, he could simply eradicate them. What intrigued him more was the sapling itself.
A moment later, the Abe Akaya summoning magic array was ready.
Carl and the other vampires activated the magic array, and a red glow illuminated the cave. The roots of Abe Akaya slowly emerged from the array.
In the previous two instances, Abe Akaya had reacted instinctively to the presence of the sacred tree sapling, eager to consume it. However, this time was different. It quickly sensed the pollution aura emanating from the sapling. Although the roots surged out from the magic array and approached the sapling, they did not attempt to absorb it. Instead, they coiled around the polluted sapling, as if observing it.
Fang Heng quickly established a mental link with Abe Akaya, "Abe Akaya, what's the condition of the sapling?"
Abe Akaya responded with its own mental perception. It could sense that the sapling's strength had been polluted and that rus.h.i.+ng to absorb it might cause anomalies, potentially leading to a negative outcome where its own level could decrease instead of increase.
However, it was worth trying.
Given Abe Akaya's current size, absorbing this little bit of polluted energy would likely only cause a minor upset in its system. The worst-case scenario would be a drop in level.
"Hmmm..."
Fang Heng nodded slightly, understanding the connection between the changes in the sacred tree sapling and the demonic seed of Pride. With him watching over, even if something went wrong, he could handle it in time.
Let's give it a try!
As soon as he gave the go-ahead, Abe Akaya's roots, which had been coiling around the sapling, swiftly penetrated into it.
"Gulp, gulp..."
The roots began to extract the sapling's strength.
[Hint: Abe Akaya absorbs the strength of the sacred tree sapling. Abe Akaya gains experience points +9,271...]
Fang Heng stood by, observing Abe Akaya's condition, ready to intervene if necessary.
The speed at which Abe Akaya absorbed the energy was slightly slower than before. It had to convert the absorbed energy while carefully filtering out the pollution aura surrounding the sapling.
As Abe Akaya absorbed the energy, dense black fog continued to emanate from the sacred tree sapling. It seemed Abe Akaya was managing well enough.
Fang Heng felt a little more relaxed, but at the current rate of absorption, it would take a considerable amount of time for Abe Akaya to completely absorb the sapling.
Just as he was about to have Abe Akaya continue absorbing in the background while he turned his attention to other matters, a series of game prompts suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
[Hint: Abe Akaya has come into contact with special energy and meets the criteria for a tier advancement. Abe Akaya has triggered the next tier 'complete form' advancement option: Tree of h.e.l.l.]
[Hint: Abe Akaya's current available advancement route: Tree of h.e.l.l.]
The compatibility of this complete form evolution with Abe Akaya is 87%.
The compatibility of this complete form evolution with the player is 100%.
Advancement description: You accidentally discovered the available advancement route for Abe Akaya's complete form while encountering pollution.
Advancement requirements: ??? (Current advancement clues are insufficient; the world cannot provide advancement missions. Please try to find more clues.)
Description: Players should search for clues related to the advancement "Tree of h.e.l.l" to trigger the advancement mission.
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Tree of h.e.l.l?!
Wasn't that the sacred tree phantom summoned through the Everlasting Moon to deal with the Great Elder of the Root tribe?
That ancient tree...
A hint of apprehension flickered in Fang Heng's eyes.
That terrifying strengthhe could clearly sense its power even though he had only summoned a phantom.
If Abe Akaya could also harness this strength...
A glimmer of greed flashed in Fang Heng's eyes.
But how could he achieve that?
Where were the clues for the evolution?
Fang Heng couldn't help but lower his head in thought.
Recalling the entire process of the sacred tree sapling's mutation, it was undoubtedly influenced by the pollution fog. Perhaps he could find some clues from the demonic seed of Pride.
However, the situation with the demonic seed of Pride might not be good at the moment.
Carl noticed that Fang Heng was standing there without moving for a long time and quietly asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
