Chapter 2211 The Island
So, the next step was to continue completing the main storyline, and the biggest issue was still finding a qualified ally from the tree spirit tribe.
The Leaf tribe was the one he had the most contact with since entering the game.
They were super teammates.
The other tree spirit tribes did not seem very easy to get along with.
It would be extremely difficult to from scratch to build friendship!
"Let's split into two steps. Abe Akaya expanded immediately after returning from the Zombie Apocalypse. By then, we can also open several ritual magic array passages in the world of the vampires, allowing Abe Akaya's branches to spread over, speeding up its growth, and using the beacon radar we obtained earlier..."
Fang Heng paused, then continued, "I will try to contact the other clans of the tree spirit tribe and see if we can cooperate with them... This step is quite difficult, so we need to consider alternatives..."
"But Fang Heng..."
Mo Jiawei listened to Fang Heng's words, pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do we really need to collaborate with the tree spirit tribe?"
"Hmm?"
Mo Jiawei scratched his head and continued, "I mean, do you really care about the World Lord of the World of Forests?"
Fang Heng was taken aback.
Did he care...?
Was that even a question?
Of course, he cared!
The World Lord signified ownership and authority over the entire world.
It was a must-have!
And even the qualification of being the World Lord was just his first step.
Next, he had to rely on the power of the World of Forests to deal with the entire Holy Court..."
Hmm?
As Fang Heng spoke, he blinked slightly, immediately understanding Mo Jiawei's implication.
Right!
He realized he had been trapped in a misconception all along.
Following the progression of the main storyline and mission guides, until the final step, he could have become the World Lord.
The qualification of the World Lord of the World of Forests.
The thought of being the World Lord of an advanced game world was just delightful.
He had always been aiming for this goal.
But in reality...
Did he really need this qualification as the World Lord?
Upon careful consideration, not really.
He already had the Zombie Apocalypse and the Vampire Apocalypse, and the Zombie Apocalypse even had a newbie protection period, immune to external attacks. From a safety perspective, wasn't it much better than this broken world?
What he really needed was the power of this world!
As for the resources of this world...
He had his zombie clones, in the worst-case scenario, he could slowly move everything!
Move it all!
But, worst-case scenario...
After waiting for over a month, the World of Forests might open to the outside world. By then, other players, even various game forces from the Holy Court, could enter the World of Forests and compete for the main storyline and the World Lord's authority.
When that time comes...
A hint of determination flashed in Fang Heng's eyes.
By now, he had a pretty good understanding of the main storyline of this world.
The prerequisite for completing the final mission was to choose any one of the tree spirit clans to help them rise to power and unify the entire tree spirit race.
So...
The simplest method.
He just had to take out all the tree spirit clans...
Just like what the Night Owl, the anti-federation forces, did before since he couldn't complete the main storyline himself, he would just cut off everyone's route to becoming the World Lord directly!
If he did not do missions, nobody else could either!
They would all be doomed together!
All problems solved!
Fang Heng couldn't help but look at Mo Jiawei and pat his shoulder, "Old Mr. Mo, you're also a genius."
"Huh?" Mo Jiawei didn't expect Fang Heng to be so excited suddenly. He scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Haha, just average."
Realizing this, Fang Heng suddenly felt like a thousand-pound burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Finally, no more cooperation with these idiot teammates!
The psychological burden was suddenly gone!
So, what to do next was very simple.
Do everything possible to improve his own strength.
So, the simplest way...
Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the gradually shrinking sacred tree Abe Akaya in front of Cleriway.
That's right! It's Abe Akaya!
All major tree spirit clans were nurturing their own sacred tree seeds. I don't know where they got these inherited sacred trees from, but since Abe Akaya belonged to the same lineage as the sacred tree, it should also be possible to cultivate it using a similar method.
Even...
From Sandy's intelligence, it appeared that the sacred trees could devour each other to achieve a rapid improvement effect.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng couldn't help but lick his lips in excitement.
Devour them!
Although the next step still involved contacting the tree spirit tribe to gather information, Fang Heng no longer felt the disgust he had before, forced by the missions to cooperate with the tree spirit tribe.
His mood was completely different.
Ji Haiting didn't quite understand what Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were discussing. He had just received a report from his subordinate and walked over to interrupt their conversation, his expression somewhat serious.
"Fang Heng, the Federation has detected unusual movements from the tree spirit tribe. It seems they are heading in this direction and are expected to arrive at the island within 1-2 hours."
"Can you identify which clan it is?"
"All three clans are coming, and the first to arrive should be the Leaf tribe."
The Leaf tribe again?
Heh...
Fang Heng couldn't help but chuckle.
He and the Leaf tribe seemed to have some kind of connection!
....
Outside the island, upon sensing a fluctuation in the essence of the sacred tree's power ripple, Patriarch Rudyard of the Leaf tribe immediately led his people to rush over.
It was strange.
During their journey, the ripple of the sacred tree essence they had sensed earlier had completely disappeared.
Looking around, the entire island seemed unusually calm.
Rudyard suddenly looked towards the nearby bushes.
"Who's there?"
Fang Heng emerged from the bushes and said, "It's me, Fang Heng. Don't be nervous."
Fang Heng?
Upon seeing Fang Heng, Rudyard couldn't help but frown.
This was odd.
Why did he seem to be everywhere?
"How did you end up here?"
"I came back from the Outer World to recuperate. I just sensed a fluctuation in natural energy, so I rushed over to take a look."
Fang Heng explained as he emerged from the bushes, spreading his hands, "I arrived a little earlier than you. When I came, the energy fluctuation had completely disappeared. I checked just now, but didn't find anything."
Rudyard didn't doubt him.
Instinctively, he felt that Fang Heng was a low-level human.
Even if he had the luck to come into contact with the essence of the sacred tree, he wouldn't be able to trigger it. He would just have to obediently hand it over to their tree spirit tribe.
Rudyard glanced around and signaled to his subordinates to thoroughly search the island.
Fang Heng watched as the tree spirit tribe dispersed quickly to search the island and tried to inquire, "Elder, is everything alright with the Leaf tribe now? Is the essence of the sacred tree still safe?"
"Humph!"
Upon hearing this, Rudyard's expression changed immediately, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
Although Rudyard had been in the Outer World all along, the Leaf tribe had close contact methods within the Inner World. He naturally knew about the series of conflicts that occurred within the Elders Council in the Inner World.
"The three major clans joined forces to attack the Leaf tribe simultaneously. The Great Elder struggled alone, and in the end, the essence of the sacred tree was seized by the Wood tribe. However, they didn't gain any advantage either. We also obtained most of the Nature's Heart Crystals from their hands..."
