#2318 - Sneak attack
Inside the main hall of the Wood Elves' habitat, Chrono and several elders simultaneously sensed the activation of the mark within their bodies, their expressions a mix of shock and uncertainty.
"Not good!"
"Something's wrong with the Divine Tree Sapling!"
In an instant, the power of the Divine Tree Sapling fluctuated wildly. Within the Wood Elves' habitat, the various beneficial effects that had enveloped the Wood Elves were instantly cleared by a significant margin.
A Wood Elf guard hurried forward to report: "Elder, abnormalities have been detected in the Divine Tree cultivation area. The projection mirror communication has been interrupted, and we have dispatched people to investigate immediately."
Not good!
Without the support of the Divine Tree's power, the habitat's barrier energy value is rapidly decreasing.
"Have Walter hold off the Federation's attack outside, and the rest of you, come with me!"
Chrono didn't dare to be careless and immediately led the group to the underground Divine Tree cultivation area to provide support.
Chrono hurried to the entrance of the underground passage to the Divine Tree cultivation area. Two clansmen had just opened the lower-level gate when a cloud of black mist surged out from the passage.
"What!"
The Wood Elf guards' hearts skipped a beat at the sight.
This black mist could actually affect perception?
Not good! It's the Mist of Corruption!
Upon seeing this strange black mist, the two elders at the forefront immediately realized what was happening, their expressions changing slightly as they retreated backward.
The two exchanged glances, extreme vigilance surfacing in their eyes as they looked back at Elder Chrono.
Chrono's eyes were also filled with astonishment.
It's actually the Mist of Corruption!
The Mist of Corruption is interfering with the mark's transmission!
Why would the Mist of Corruption appear here!
"Quick! Retreat! Do not inhale the black mist, release your mental power armor to cover your bodies! Do not allow the corruption to invade your bodies!"
The two elders also immediately reacted, shouting and leading the Wood Elf guards back.
Most of the younger generation of Tree Spirits had not experienced the previous Holy War and knew very little about the power of the Mist of Corruption. Seeing the elders acting as if facing a great enemy, they felt somewhat strange.
Is it really that terrifying?
At least at first glance, the black mist can shield vision and perception.
The younger generation of Tree Spirits had not yet figured out the situation. After obeying the elders' orders and retreating a short distance, they heard rustling sounds coming from the black mist.
What is that?
The older generation of Wood Elf elders, knowing the terror of the black mist, stared intently at the entrance of the passage.
They saw swaying shadows emerging from the black mist.
Chrono and the two clan elders exchanged glances.
Corrupted beings?
Chi!
Instantly, countless fine vines extended from the ground, rapidly spreading and extending towards the passage ahead!
The rapidly growing vines firmly locked the zombie horde emerging from the black mist in place.
"Ugh…"
The zombie horde let out wails, struggling to move their feet in an attempt to break free from the entanglement below.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the clansmen in the rear simultaneously used ranged natural arrows to bombard the zombie horde.
"Bang! Bang bang!!"
The natural arrows exploded on the zombies' bodies, emitting muffled sounds and blasting out bloody holes.
However, the blasted-open bloody holes rapidly healed at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Like the Lickers outside, the zombie creatures also possessed extremely terrifying vitality!
A Wood Elf elite guard cautiously asked: "Elder, what is the aura of this black mist?"
A senior clan elder glanced at the clansman, shook his head, seemingly unwilling to say more.
"It's a kind of natural disaster."
?????55.??????
"Was it done by the Leaf Elves?"
Chrono frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It is not clear at this point, we must purify this black mist first."
… …
At this time, in the Divine Tree cultivation area on the other side of the passage.
Under the erosion of the black mist, the entire Divine Tree was shrouded in the black mist, constantly emitting a hissing sound.
Fang Heng did not run away as Sergei had planned, but was carefully observing in the dark.
He was also affected by some of the black mist, but not as severely as the Tree Spirits.
Are you kidding me, leave now?
Wouldn't the big fish that's already in my hands get away?
A hint of greed appeared in Fang Heng's eyes as he stared at the dozen or so Wood Elf elite guards around the magic array in the center of the hall.
In their center, the Divine Tree Sapling was flashing waves of cyan and black light.
In addition, a sacrificial bottle and natural crystals were placed in the center of the magic array.
What good stuff!
I have to make a move!
Fang Heng had cultivated Abe Akie from a seed, and had already completed a soul connection with Abe Akie.
However, the Tree Spirits did not have this ability, so their ability to control the Divine Tree was far less than Fang Heng's.
Affected by the pollution, the Divine Tree Sapling was now in an extremely agitated state, and had even begun to partially lose control.
Shawut was concentrating on suppressing the magic array, while the other two elders were fully cooperating with the Wood Elf guards to repel the zombie horde surging from the darkness around them.
At this time, no one noticed that, with the help of the black mist, Fang Heng had quietly mixed into the zombie horde, approaching the Divine Tree Sapling area by only a short distance.
Mental Thorn!
Blood Ignition!
Fang Heng continuously used interference attack skills on an elite Wood Elf who was controlling the main magic array.
Fang Heng used these two moves to deal with senior elder-level Tree Spirits in the past. How could ordinary elite Wood Elves withstand this!
Instantly, the elite Wood Elf was struck hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person let out a muffled groan and flew out, disappearing into the darkness.
What!?
Hearing the noise, everyone looked at the position of the Wood Elf who flew into the darkness.
What happened? Why did he suddenly…?
The remaining Wood Elf guards controlling the magic array felt a chill in their hearts and looked at Elder Shawut.
With the surrounding thick fog shielding perception, Shawut did not know what had happened.
Could it be caused by a magic array riot?
"Don't panic, stabilize the magic array!"
"Pfft!!!!"
Before Shawut could finish speaking, another elite controlling the magic array spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew out of the magic array, disappearing into the area shrouded in the surrounding black mist, completely losing his voice.
The area shrouded in black mist was full of densely packed zombie creatures. It was conceivable that there would be no good outcome after being seriously injured and knocked out.
The remaining Tree Spirits controlling the magic array turned pale and fell into extreme fear.
Before Shawut could say anything else, the third clansman spat out blood again and flew out!
The Wood Elf guards' hearts trembled for a while.
Now it was certain that someone was attacking!
An unknown attack from an unknown enemy, and they had no idea where the attack came from.
No one knew if they would become the next victim!
