Chapter 2292 Repairing

The temple was located in a very unfavorable position, far from the habitat of the Leaf tribe and close to human gathering points.

It was heavily damaged, and repairing it seemed hardly worth the effort.

That was why the Leaf tribe initially abandoned it during the first selection.

The strange thing was why did it appear that the temple had already been repaired?

Which other clan could have done the restoration?

It didn’t seem like any!

Vannes and Ian exchanged glances.

The temple before them did not resemble the style of any clan’s temple.

What could be going on?

Was all of this related to Fang Heng?

Ian spoke up, “Vannes, have you sensed anything?”

Sensed?

Vannes was momentarily stunned by the question, then immediately closed his eyes to sense.

When he opened his eyes again, Vannes looked more skeptical. He glanced at Ian and asked with some confusion in his tone, “The seed of the sacred tree?”

“Yes.”

Ian nodded solemnly.

From within the temple, they faintly sensed the ripple of the sacred tree’s power.

It was very faint.

But this ripple of the sacred tree was remarkably similar to the two previous encounters.

What a coincidence.

Fang Heng appeared here.

Could it be…

Was everything related to Fang Heng?

“Fang Heng, what is he up to?”

“I don’t know,” Ian shook his head. “Come on, let’s enter the temple and be cautious.”

The eerie sight made Vannes also alert. He warned everyone to be careful and stepped into the temple.

Inside the temple.

Vannes walked at the forefront, slowly exploring forward along the passage.

Soon, he reached the end of the temple before a grand hall.

Through the open entrance of the hall, Vannes saw a figure standing before a magic array.

“Fang Heng?”

Fang Heng slowly turned around, looking at Vannes approaching him. He raised his head and said, “So it’s Elder Vannes who has come from afar. Did you come all this way just to find me?”

“Humph! Asking knowingly!”

Vannes snorted coldly, staring fixedly at Fang Heng. He said in a deep voice, “Fang Heng, don’t think you can escape. Come back to the Leaf tribe and explain your crimes properly!”

“Elder Vannes, you shouldn’t accuse me lightly. I haven’t done anything. What crime are you talking about?”

“Don’t try to evade! Just after you left, the magic array of the Temple of Incantation had problems. Who else could it be but you?”

“This has nothing to do with me.”

Fang Heng shrugged, looking somewhat helpless. “When I left, I already warned Zet not to let ignorant people mess around. But he didn’t listen to me and let people from the Alchemy Association destroy the magic array, causing the Temple of Incantation to explode. It’s not my fault.”

Vannes stared at Fang Heng.

No matter how Fang Heng explained, Vannes had already decided that this matter was inexorably linked to Fang Heng.

“Humph, whether we can blame you or not, when you return, everything will be clear. But what’s the matter with this temple?”

“You mean the temple?”

Fang Heng glanced around and nodded, “I’ve always been interested in the magic array of the Temple of Incantation. When I returned, I found a place and rebuilt one. Elder Vannes, since you’re here, why not give me some advice? What do you think of my renovations to the Temple of Incantation?”

“Humph! Nonsense!” Vannes snorted coldly. “Since you’re unwilling to speak, then come back with me! I’ll make sure you spill everything!”

Whoosh!

As he spoke, Vannes moved swiftly, launching towards Fang Heng!

“Hu!”

Vannes aimed a punch, intending to strike hard!

Bang!

The punch landed squarely on Fang Heng’s defended hands, pushing him backward!

“Huh?”

Vannes uttered a soft exclamation.

He had thrown that punch in anger, hoping to seriously injure Fang Heng and teach him a lesson.

But it was blocked?

Had Fang Heng’s strength somehow increased?

Fang Heng was knocked back by the punch, but using his double leap skill, he adjusted his position in mid-air and landed lightly on the ground, rubbing the spot where Vannes had struck him.

Not too bad.

It seemed the rumors outside were correct; the Leaf tribe had indeed weakened after losing the sapling of the sacred tree.

With this advantage, his chances of winning had increased!

“Chi, chi, chi!”

The next moment, before Vannes could pursue, a horde of Lickers hidden in the Temple of Incantation pounced!

At the same time, Fang Heng retrieved a mask from his backpack and put it on.

In an instant, a dense array of small magic circles swirled around Fang Heng!

Over two thousand Lickers were summoned simultaneously, pouring out from the magic circles and surging towards Vannes and his group!

“Be careful, they’re not easy to deal with.”

Vannes had encountered Lickers before.

Facing the overwhelming onslaught of Lickers, he felt the pressure mounting. Swiftly, he formed a complex imprint with his hands in front of him.

Boom!

Concentrated leaves condensed into several swirling tornadoes and surged forward!

The tornadoes collided with the masses of Lickers, bursting them into pieces and sending them flying backward at an even faster pace.

In an instant, a large area in front was cleared.

“Fang Heng, is this all the strength you have? Do you dare challenge the dignity of the tree spirit tribe with just this? How laughable!” Vannes sneered coldly, “Let’s go! Come back with me to the tribe!”

Fang Heng looked coldly at Vannes and said, “Heh, it’s not just this. Want to try another move?”

As he spoke, Fang Heng controlled Abe Akaya to act!

The remaining dimensional energy stored by Abe Akaya rapidly depleted!

What?!

In an instant, Vannes’ pupils contracted.

Just as Fang Heng finished speaking, the entire Temple of Incantation suddenly became agitated.

In a flash, numerous dark red vines that had been clinging to the walls surged toward the Leaf tribe people from all directions!

“Chi!! Chi chi chi!!!”

Sharp wooden spikes of dark red color thrust out from the ground and the temple walls!

“Be careful!”

Ian shouted loudly, opening his shield to defend.

The members of the Leaf tribe retreated amidst the continuous emergence of spikes and entangling vines.

Meanwhile, the horde of Lickers that had been blasted away earlier took advantage of the chaos and attacked again!

Vannes frowned deeply.

This was too strange.

This move was clearly an ability of their tree spirit tribe!

Where did Fang Heng learn this from?!

Before he could figure it out, Vannes’ eyebrows raised in surprise.

What?!

Fang Heng unexpectedly launched an attack, swiftly flying towards him.

Incredibly fast!

A trace of astonishment flashed in Vannes’ eyes.

Hint: The player is consuming dimensional energy stored by Abe Akaya.

Hint: Current dimensional energy stored by Abe Akaya is insufficient.

Fang Heng’s eyes gleamed with blazing determination.

He realized that under the influence of Abe Akaya’s power injection, Abe Akaya’s actual combat capability had been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, in this battle state, his soul connection with Abe Akaya was even tighter. They had reached a level of understanding where a single thought could perceive what the other intended to do!
