Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

After a brief silence, feedback came through the earpiece: "Fang Heng, after comparing the images, we confirm that this temple is a Temple of Incantation belonging to the tree spirit tribe. There are a few branches scattered in the primeval forest, and in the past, the tree spirit tribe did not tightly guard the Temple of Incantation. We have discovered many abandoned Temples of Incantation, most of which were heavily damaged."

"The Temple of Incantation you see now has also been discovered by us and registered. At that time, due to its high degree of damage, it was considered worthless and had been abandoned for a long time. Comparatively, the temple seems different from when it was abandoned. It seems that the tree spirit tribe has renovated and rebuilt the temple during this time."

"Additionally, we have just investigated, and there have been several recent attacks by the tree spirit tribe, three of which are suspected to be related to the Temple of Incantation."

"Thank you, I understand."

Fang Heng temporarily cut off communication and continued to focus his gaze on the periphery of the Temple of Incantation.

Judging by the timeline, as the passage to the Inner World was destroyed, most of the Temples of Incantation gradually lost their function over time.

But recently...

With the disruption of the spiritual domain network and the reopening of the teleportation passages to the Inner World, various Temples of Incantation have once again come into use.

So, what are the Temples of Incantation for?

What's inside them?

Fang Heng couldn't help but wonder.

The tree spirit tribe!

What are they up to now?

Could it be related to the cultivation of the sacred tree?

The thought of cultivating the sacred tree filled Fang Heng with excitement.

Let's go in!

Fang Heng's gaze swept over the two Wood tribe guards outside the Temple of Incantation, and with a light tap of his toes on the ground, he once again entered the secondary projection state and quickly approached the temple.

As the majority of the Wood tribe guards who originally guarded the temple had gone to support the area under human attack, the guard was particularly lax.

Using the secondary space projection skill to bypass the guards at the entrance of the temple, Fang Heng entered the temple without encountering half a guard inside.

The interior space of the temple was also not small.

Fang Heng emerged from the secondary space projection and walked a short distance along the passage when he suddenly heard voices in the distance.

"How did humans discover us?"

"I don't know. Maybe they found information about the temple, or maybe it's just luck."

"D*mn it!"

Fang Heng's heart stirred, immediately switching to his natural science form, concealing his aura, and cautiously approaching the direction of the voices from the right.

Soon, as he delved deeper into the passage, the voices from afar became clearer.

"No, Elder Lorenzo is still collecting natural energy. If we interrupt the natural passage, the Elders Council will be in danger."

The conversation of the tree spirit tribe came from the hall at the end of the passage.

Huh? Natural passage?

The passage linked to the Inner World?

Fang Heng keenly captured the important information in the conversation and slowed his pace, contemplating.

Right!

Could the white frost ore found in the hall be related to the natural passage?

Fang Heng maintained steady breathing, concealed his aura, stood behind a pillar, and cautiously peeked out toward the hall.

Magic array!

In the center of the hall, a ritual magic array revolving slowly.

Six Wood tribe members were gathered around the ritual magic array, jointly manipulating it.

Seemingly focused on controlling the magic array, and anxious about the human invaders outside, they did not notice Fang Heng, who was secretly observing at the entrance of the hall.

"Vita, the Federation is very strange this time. Their strength has greatly increased, and there are many of them. We may not be able to hold on for too long..."

"Hold on a little longer! I have already sent a message to the other end of the teleportation passage. Elder will return as soon as he receives the message."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know! At least ten minutes!"

"How long exactly? We might not have time!"

"Stop asking! If you have time, why don't you come over now to help us maintain the operation of the magic array!"

"Okay," the tree spirit who advocated retreat sighed and said, "Vita, hurry up. The situation outside is not good. All of our people have rushed to support. Once the Federation enters the periphery of the temple, we will have to abandon it immediately..."

"Shut up!"

Vita glared at his companion, stopping him from continuing.

The entire hall fell silent once again as the six tree spirits focused all their mental power on controlling the magic array.

Fang Heng hid in the shadows, observing the large magic array in the center of the hall from afar.

Being too far away, he was concerned that using his omniscient eye to observe the magic array would attract the attention of the tree spirit tribe. So, he merely stood at a distance, watching.

Fang Heng could deduce that this magic array was not the teleportation magic array extracted from the sacred tree branch by Cleriway.

Odd.

The teleportation passage doesn't lead to the Inner World?

Fang Heng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Where does it lead to?

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and retreated along the passage until he confirmed he was out of the tree spirit tribe's perception range. Then he reopened the communication channel with the Federation headquarters.

"Command post, did you all see what just happened?"

"Yes, we received some slight interference, and the images were a bit blurry, but the audio was clear after processing."

Inside the command post, a staff member beside Minister Ray said, "Dr. Fang, based on the recent conversation and the images, we believe that the ritual magic array in the teleportation passage is closely related to the frequent activities of the tree spirit tribe."

"Correct, I agree."

Fang Heng nodded and asked, "What's the situation outside now?"

"The tree spirit tribe is still resisting stubbornly, but we have gained the upper hand. We are currently adopting a conservative combat rhythm to avoid casualties. We can resolve the battle in at most ten minutes."

At this point, the people in the command post couldn't help but feel uplifted.

The terrifying overall strength increase of the tree spirit tribe.

In the past, they would have retreated directly.

It was Dr. Fang's significant transformation and enhancement of the psychic warriors that gave them confidence!

"Dr. Fang, we judge that the magic array is dangerous. According to the conversation of the tree spirit tribe, a group of Wood tribe elders is leading a team into the secret passage. Once they leave, the situation may become very unfavorable for us."

Minister Ray pondered for a moment, then communicated with several staff members and continued, "Fang Heng, we will try to accelerate the attack. We estimate that we can break through the tree spirit tribe's blockade in the shortest time possible, around five minutes. At that time, we can invade the periphery of the temple and immediately disrupt the ritual magic array of the tree spirit tribe, preventing the Wood tribe elders from returning through the teleportation passage."

"I think we don't need to be in such a hurry."

"What?"

The people in the command room were stunned again when they heard Fang Heng's words.

"We all know the nature of the tree spirit tribe. Even if we capture them, we won't be able to extract any useful information from them. It's better to take this opportunity to weaken their strength."

Fang Heng paused for a moment before continuing, "I can interrupt them when they perform the reversal ritual and use the magic array to teleport. This will cause serious internal injuries to both the ritual controller and the teleporter."
