Chapter 2233 Closing the Net
Minister Ray raised an eyebrow at Fang Heng's words, immediately understanding the hidden meaning within.
Once the tree spirit tribe used the teleportation magic array to bring back the Wood tribe elders, they would launch a full-scale ambush!
Taking advantage of the enemies' injuries, they would strike together!
They aimed to eliminate as much of the tree spirit tribe's remaining forces as possible.
Fang Heng continued, "I really want to know what tricks this group of tree spirit tribe is up to using the teleportation passage."
Minister Ray remained silent for a moment before nodding. "Fang Heng, this is very dangerous."
"No problem, leave it to me. I'll take care of the guards outside first. Be careful not to let the Wood tribe escape. When you enter the periphery of the temple, stay quiet and don't disturb the tree spirit tribe controlling the ritual."
After a brief discussion within the command post, everyone quickly agreed to Fang Heng's plan of action.
"Alright, be careful."
"Got it."
Fang Heng acknowledged with a soft grunt and closed the communicator.
Facing elder-level tree spirit tribe members who had experienced two significant boosts in power, Fang Heng didn't dare to say he was one hundred percent confident.
For him, this was just an exploratory mission.
If necessary, he would unleash his full power!
With a plan in mind, Fang Heng turned around and quietly headed back to the exterior entrance of the temple.
Of course, before taking action, if there was an opportunity, he wouldn't mind trying to deceive some information out of the tree spirit tribe.
...
Outside the Temple of Incantation, two Wood tribe members were feeling nervous as they were tasked with guarding. They were uncertain about the situation outside the periphery where a Federation attack had occurred. Things seemed grim.
Just as the two guards were on edge, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them.
"Who goes there?" they exclaimed, turning around warily, only to feel a momentary daze in their eyes upon seeing the newcomer.
Realizing it was the Great Elder, their expressions changed.
"Great Elder, what are you doing here?" one of the guards said, followed by another adding, "Great Elder, we've been attacked by the human Federation. Please intervene."
"I am already aware."
Fang Heng stood with Hell Faram's compound eye closing rapidly behind him, as he gently raised his hand to reassure the two guards, "Fear not. They are merely a group of humans. They're not worth worrying about. I took care of them on my way here. What about Elder Lorenzo?"
"Elder Lorenzo is following your orders to gather the power of nature in the Winter City domain. Due to the sudden attack by the human Federation, Elder Lorenzo is now on his way back," the guard replied, suddenly furrowing his brows.
He noticed a strange distortion on Fang Heng's face.
What?
Great Elder...?
This was bad!
Suddenly, the two guards reacted simultaneously.
Something was not right!
There was something wrong with this Great Elder!
Hu!!!
In the next moment, a dense surge of lifeblood burst forth behind Fang Heng, rushing towards the two guards!
The dense lifeblood instantly formed a large barrier, enveloping Fang Heng and the two Wood tribe members within!
"Enemy invasion!"
The two Wood tribe guards shouted in alarm, simultaneously retreating quickly, attempting to increase the distance between themselves and Fang Heng!
However, the shouts of the Wood tribe guards were firmly sealed within a large blood screen that swiftly enveloped them from the outside.
Their voices could not be transmitted!
Fang Heng quickly caught up and swung the metal rod in his hand forward!
"Boom!"
A Wood guard was hit by the metal staff heavily. With a thud, his body fell backward uncontrollably.
"Chi chi chi!"
Dense blood qi spears immediately appeared on the blood-red barrier behind the Wood tribe!
Dense blood spikes pierced into the Wood tribe's body from behind, exploding out streams of blood essence!
His lifeblood even gradually seeped into the Wood tribe's body!
This time, Fang Heng did not hold back and attacked with all his might!
He did not care about the consumption of his lifeblood power. He only wanted to get rid of the two Wood tribe guards in the shortest time possible!
Under the astonished gaze of the other tree spirits, his companion was continuously smashed by Fang Heng's metal rod without any resistance!
"Let him go!"
The guard shouted and condensed a wooden spear to stab at Fang Heng!
"Boom! Boom!"
The long spear landed on Fang Heng's body and immediately caused a series of explosions!
Fang Heng's back was instantly blasted open.
Without any intention of stopping, Fang Heng continued to swing his metal rod and chase following another Wood tribe member!
The blood essence trapped the Wood tribe member on the spot.
According to Fang Heng's past experience in group fights, he would just stare at one of them and kill him!
"Boom!!"
As the exploding blood essence spear continued to corrode his body, the Wood tribe finally could not withstand it and exploded on the spot!
Fang Heng turned his head again, brandishing his long staff to deal with another member of the Wood tribe.
Not good!
Being stared at by Fang Heng's scarlet eyes, the Wood Race suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger.
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng moved closer in a flash and swung his rod!
"Bang!"
The Wood tribe was knocked back by the attack.
Behind him, cold blood essence exploded and rapidly invaded his body!
The Wood tribe wanted to call for help, but their voices could not be heard. They wanted to escape, but Fang Heng suppressed them repeatedly until they could no longer resist the gradually freezing blood in their bodies.
"Boom!!!"
Two guards exploded on the spot, one after the other.
"Quite troublesome," Fang Heng muttered under his breath as his wounds slowly healed, retracting the blood barrier. He shook his arm and looked into the distance.
Dealing with the two Wood tribe members quickly consumed a significant amount of elite pure blood.
In total, it took a little over two minutes. In the distance, the Federation had also accelerated its process of clearing out the Wood tribe members from the periphery according to plan.
The vampires' barrier not only blocked communication between the Wood tribe and the outside world but also interfered with the Federation communicators.
As the blood barrier dissipated, communication was finally restored, and the voice from the command post swiftly came through.
"Dr. Fang? Dr. Fang? Can you hear me? We have gained control of the situation, clearing out the remaining Wood tribe members. We'll move towards the central temple position immediately. How are things on your end?"
"I'm fine. I've dealt with the guards outside the Temple of Incantation. When you come over, keep it low-key to avoid attracting the attention of the tree spirit tribe inside the temple."
"Understood!"
In merely a few moments, Fang Heng's previous wounds had completely healed.
The long sword that had been slung on his behind had worn down during this time and now transformed into a short blade.
It seemed he would need to find another opportunity to gather some blood.
Five minutes later, soldiers from various federations hurried to the scene, swiftly surrounding the entire Temple of Incantation, concealing themselves in the shadows.
Shi Yanwu approached with another person, nodding, "Dr. Fang, my superiors have directed me to assist you in your next move."
"Alright." Fang Heng nodded lightly, then glanced behind at the interior of the temple, lowering his voice as he asked, "By the way, have you ever heard of the Winter City domain?"
Shi Yanwu looked puzzled, repeated the name quietly to himself, and then shook his head.
"Never heard of it."
