1111 The Sacred Tree
"The two of them..." Wei Tao thought for a while and nodded, "We should have found quite a few clues in the Empire."
As the two of them were talking, a line of game notifications appeared on their retina.
[Hint: Player Fang Heng and Lord Barov have signed the mage tower construction agreement. Team's current side mission: the Empire's line of defense-the ghost tower has changed.]
Mikhael and Wei Tao shut their mouths at the same time and fell into silence as they looked at the game prompt.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Cooperation? Build a ghost tower?
What was that?
Didn't they say that it was Fang Heng's NPCs who messed around with the construction of the mage tower?
It had only been a while since they parted, and the two of them had already come down personally?
Wei Tao instantly felt his headache come back.
"Ahem." Mikhael coughed lightly and helped Fang Heng to make up for it. He said in a tone that even he himself could not believe, "There is no possibility. This is just an accident..."
Wei Tao held it in for a long time before sighing, "I hope so."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten game notifications popped up.
[Hint: Player Fang Heng has signed. contract with the Lord of the Empire. Joshua.]
The two of them looked at each other and no longer had the mood to continue talking.
...
"Lord Fang Heng."
At the entrance of a crack in the ground outside Hani City, Ma Xiaowan's team of more than 100 people had been waiting here for a long time.
In addition to them, there were also several thousand teams escorting supplies waiting on the right side of the forest.
Seeing Fang Heng walking out of the crack again, Ma Xiaowan's heart was full of bitterness.
Disaster!
It really was a disaster!
Ma Xiaowan had personally witnessed how the small town, which had been affected by the disaster, had gradually become an uninhabited land of plague.
Fortunately, the townspeople had all evacuated and returned to Hani City to take refuge.
Initially, Ma Xiaowan thought that the matter had come to an end and was ready to leave with her team. She did not expect that the Tianli Mercenary group, which had a cooperation agreement with the Four Seas chamber of commerce, would receive another mission to protect the transportation of goods.
"Ma Xiaowan, what a coincidence, we meet again."
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
Ma Xiaowan felt bitter.
As expected, Fang Heng came over in person. She had to face the attack of the disaster personally.
"Yes," Ma Xiaowan said, "Thank you for your trust. We, the Tianli Mercenary Group, will take on this escort mission.
Fang Heng was very satisfied with Sandy's arrangement.
After all, he had already worked with the Tianli Mercenary group once before, and most of his secrets had already been exposed.
Letting the heavenly dawn mercenary group help transport the supplies would minimize the risk.
"I'm sorry, we might have to wait for a little longer this time. There was an accident on the way, and there might be a lot of people accompanying us to visit the Land of Plague."
"O-okay."
Ma Xiaowan couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Tour the Land of Plague?
Just how stupid and suicidal was he to do such a thing?
As she was thinking, Ma Xiaowan saw the Empire's feudal lords and elite guards walking out of the cracks in the ground.
Ma Xiaowan's expression gradually stiffened.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Fang Heng beside her, "These feudal lords are the visiting group you mentioned? Ah, yes."
Fang Heng explained very naturally, "They are all feudal lords who have cooperated with the Land of Plague. Don't neglect them."
He was crazy.
The world had gone crazy!
Other people would not even have the time to run away when they saw the necromancer, so what was going on with this group of the Empire's feudal lords?
Ma Xiaowan suddenly felt as if her world had been shattered.
She watched as a team of nearly a thousand people walked out of the crack.
"Can we go now?"
"Ah? Alright, alright." Ma Xiaowan came back to her senses and waved to the mercenary in charge of transporting the supplies.
The team slowly moved forward, transporting supplies to the village covered by the sacred tree.
Along the way, Ma Xiaowan was shocked to see Fang Heng talking and laughing with the other Empire's feudal lords.
Who was Fang Heng?
His influence in the Empire was so great.
Different from before, when they came, the feudal lords were aggressive and wanted to ask Fang Heng for an explanation.
But now, the feudal lords were in a good mood.
Especially those who had just signed a new contract with Fang Heng.
They all felt that they had profited. They had finally made it to the last high-speed train at the last moment!
Those feudal lords who couldn't buy a ticket and couldn't build a mage tower, let them cry!
The feudal lords who had signed the contract in advance were even happier. They all felt that their investments were extremely shrewd.
That group of wronged people, they spent twice the money and were still giggling over there?
What's there to be happy about?!
As everyone's mood improved, the team's atmosphere immediately became cheerful. Following the team was like a pleasant trip.
"Lord Fang Heng, have you repaired this area?"
"Yes, indeed."
Fang Heng nodded his head and continued to chat.
In order to facilitate the transportation of supplies, he spent a lot of time getting the zombie clones to clear and widen the road between the exit of the underworld world and the village.
Now, it only took less than two hours to transport supplies from the cave entrance to the village.
"No wonder. I've been to this place before. I remember that the trade route here wasn't as easy to walk on back then."
One of the feudal lords sighed.
The feudal lords chatted and laughed as they moved forward. Soon, a huge tree that stood tall in the sky appeared in their sight.
"Eh? Lord Fang Heng, what is that giant tree?"
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, in the distance.
"Yes, it's cultivated by me. It's The sacred tree of the Land of Plague and can protect my fief from outside disturbances."
It was the first time the feudal lords had seen such a huge tree, and they couldn't help but praise it.
"It's so magnificent. I've never seen such a big ancient tree. You must have spent a lot of energy to cultivate this tree, right?"
"Yes,"
Fang Heng nodded in response. He couldn't help but turn around and take a look at the box containing the unknown stone.
He thought, "Let's move it back for the sacred tree to swallow and see how many levels it can upgrade!!"
The sword saint, Chepo, gazed at the giant tree in the distance, his fingers touching the long sword at his waist.
He could sense that the huge tree in the distance was extremely dangerous. It was definitely not as simple as what Fang Heng had described.
The party followed the trade route and stopped in front of the forest.
The path ahead was blocked by layers of vines and roots.
Fang Heng walked to the front of the team.
"Chi Chi Chi..."
However, the trees and vines in front of them quickly moved away, and a small path for people to pass through quickly appeared.
Such a scene made the feudal lords click their tongues in wonder.
Randolf was stunned, his eyes were filled with surprise.
He was more shocked than anyone else!
His first impression of the forest and the giant trees was that they were a huge field of magic.
However, he felt that something was wrong after getting closer.
He could feel a strong life force from the forest.
The magic waves were very weak.
Therefore, he thought that this forest was formed naturally.
