Chapter 2272 Climbing the Vine
Countless streams of acidic liquid sprayed from the Fog Hidden Moths' mouths, landing on the Lickers and emitting a sizzling sound of chemical burns.
Unfortunately, the effect was still limited.
The attack intensity of the Fog Hidden Moths was low, and neither their stinging nor acidic liquid could truly affect the group of Lickers.
Their attacks were completely nullified!
Zet, seeing the Fog Hidden Moths being blocked by the Lickers, breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and glanced from afar at Fang Heng inside the camp.
Lickers...
Similarly, these summoned creatures were controlled by the same human.
Individually, they were significantly weaker compared to Zet's tree spirit tribe, but their sheer numbers and formidable vitality made them formidable opponents.
If it came to a fight, they would also pose a headache for Zet's tribe.
No wonder Elder Vannes was so wary of him.
At this moment, Fang Heng was still controlling the operation of the magic array.
Seeing the situation outside gradually stabilize, Fang Heng temporarily relaxed.
Continue!
Speed up the operation of the magic array!
"Hey, you guys."
The several Leaf tribe guards responsible for monitoring Fang Heng heard his call and turned their gaze towards him.
"Don't just stand there, come and help."
Help?
They glanced at each other.
"I'm just standing here, what's there to monitor? Don't waste time, come over here and stand inside those circles, infuse your mental strength to accelerate the operation of the magic array."
Listening to Fang Heng's words, they looked at each other, finding no immediate rebuttal. So, they silently moved forward and together infused their mental strength into the magic array.
As the magic array accelerated its operation, the sacrificial jar's absorption speed of dimensional energy once again increased!
Apart from Fang Heng, no one was aware that on the lower floor, the branch magic array was also accelerating its operation!
Dimensional strength was being infused into the sacrificial jar at an accelerated rate!
...
An hour later, the actions of the guards from the Leaf tribe had become somewhat stiff. Facing the vast expanse of Fog Hidden Moths obscuring the view in the distance, Zet continued to raise his hand, repeatedly releasing spells of natural energy arrows toward the front.
Each dispersal of the natural arrows cleared a large swath of them. However, then even larger swarms of Fog Hidden Moths surged forward, filling the gaps.
Zet had to admit, if it weren't for the wall of Lickers blocking the Fog Hidden Moths' attack route, they wouldn't stand a chance against such density of them.
Huh?
Zet suddenly noticed the density of the Fog Hidden Moths rapidly decreasing. They stopped attacking the camp and dispersed in all directions.
Retreating?
Just as he was thinking, a guard from the Leaf Tribe hurried over from behind, reporting to Zet: "Leader, the magic array has completed its operation and is currently inactive."
Finally, it was over.
Having continuously released skills to deal with the Fog Hidden Moth swarm, Zet felt his mind also growing a bit stiff. He couldn't help but turn back to glance in the direction of the temporary camp.
The tribe members had all stopped the operation of the magic array and were taking a break.
Continuous high-intensity operation of the magic array was also a significant drain on mental strength. Most of the guards from the Leaf Tribe had reached their limit.
"How's the sacrificial jar situation? How much dimensional energy has it absorbed?" Hearing about the sacrificial jar, the tribe member who came to report immediately showed an excited expression, saying, "Leader, the sacrificial jar has absorbed all the energy."
"What!?"
Zet stared straight at the tribesman in front of him, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked, "Are you saying it's full?"
"Yes, it's been confirmed. The dimensional strength inside the sacrificial jar has reached its maximum value!"
Maximum value!
In just a short hour!
This meant Fang Heng's modification to the magic array was extremely effective!
Efficiency had increased by far more than just double.
In the past, in worlds with lower energy levels, it would take at least two days to absorb the energy in a sacrificial jar to its maximum value.
Even considering the time spent setting up the temporary camp beforehand, Fang Heng had only taken nine hours to complete the absorption of one sacrificial jar.
The efficiency was terrifying.
"Let's go, take me to see."
Zet hurriedly followed his subordinate into the temporary camp, personally inspecting the sacrificial jar and nodded in satisfaction.
Very good!
The sacrificial jar was in perfect condition.
Zet glanced at Fang Heng standing next to the magic array and asked, "Fang Heng, is everything still going smoothly?"
"Very smoothly."
"In that case, for the next time..."
Fang Heng knew what Zet wanted to ask and nodded, "As long as the temporary camp's magic array isn't destroyed while we're away, we won't need to reconstruct the magic array next time; we can use it directly."
"Good!"
Zet was even more satisfied.
With this, theoretically, it would only take an hour to charge a sacrificial jar!
"Get ready, we'll return to the Temple of Incantation immediately."
"Yes!"
"I still need to double-check the magic array, it'll take thirty minutes."
Zet thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we'll return in thirty minutes."
Then, everyone watched as Fang Heng left the temporary camp and walked outside.
Facing the ground littered with foul-smelling limbs, Fang Heng slowly spread his hands.
The blood and limbs of the Hidden Fog Moths that had fallen to the ground after they died were pulled into the air, forming a putrid blood ball in the air.
The ball of blood rolled and sizzled, and a bluish-white smoke rose in the air.
...
Half an hour later, Zet personally escorted the sacrificial jar back to the temple.
Soon, the sacrificial jar was successfully placed in the center of the giant-sized magic array.
The two guardian elders couldn't help but be surprised.
They had actually filled the sacrificial jar with energy so quickly?
"Leader, we've sent someone to report to Elder Vannes. He's on his way. Should we wait for him to return?"
"No need, let's proceed to the next test as soon as possible."
Zet was somewhat excited.
Cultivating the seed of the sacred tree was a great achievement!
It seemed like he had stumbled upon a great advantage!
"Fang Heng, can we begin?"
Fang Heng checked the magic array for a moment, confirmed it was all set, and nodded, "Yes, we can start anytime."
Zet looked at the two guardian elders, "Both elders, please assist in catalyzing the growth of the sapling of the sacred tree."
"Of course."
Both guardian elders nodded.
Fang Heng closed his eyes and infused his mental strength into the magic array.
The magic array slowly rotated.
A green light gradually emanated, and a faint cyan light overflowed from the central sacrificial jar.
In the center of the magic array, the sapling of the sacred tree quietly grew under the coverage of energy!
At the same time, a magic array rapidly rotated in the pupil of Fang Heng's right eye!
Below the Temple of Incantation, on the third basement level, in the center of a hidden room, a branch magic array also slowly operated.
"Chi, chi chi..."
Abe Akaya's roots slowly climbed out along the magic array.
Not many, just a few roots emerged from the center of the magic array.
