Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2206 Taking the Blame

“Boom!!”

A series of intense explosions.

Immediately after, a figure darted out from the burst gate entrance.

It was him!

Fang Heng!

Seeing Fang Heng, a hint of surprise flickered in Vannes’s pupils.

Did he come out?

Fang Heng’s current situation looked extremely dire; his clothes were tattered, soaked with large patches of blood stains, appearing to be near his limit.

Huh!?

Was that…!?

Not only Vannes, but almost all the tree spirit tribe members were closely watching Fang Heng.

They sensed an extremely concentrated ripple of natural energy emanating from him!

They felt unusually familiar with this power.

The sacred tree!

The power emanating from the sacred tree!

There must be something on Fang Heng’s body!

“Boom!! Boom Boom!!!”

Before anyone could ask, the next moment, a large number of huge stones flew out from the canyon, smashing fiercely towards Fang Heng in midair!

Fang Heng in midair had no space to dodge, only able to hold his hands in front of him. He was hit by the flying stones, and repeatedly thrown backward by the impacts.

What’s going on with that human!?

And what are those flying boulders?

What’s the deal with the power of the sacred tree they sensed from him?

The tree spirit tribe members present were filled with too many doubts, closely watching Fang Heng.

Suddenly, an elder of the root clan seemed to realize something, his pupils flashing with brilliance as he stared at Fang Heng, “He has the essence of the sacred tree!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze became even more fixated on Fang Heng!

That’s right!

With the reminder from the elder of the Root tribe and the anomaly triggered just now from the Ring of the Ages, many of the elder generations of the tree spirit tribe quickly realized something.

There was something wrong with that person!

Under no circumstances should he be allowed to leave!

The elder of the Root tribe was about to shout to stop Fang Heng, but Fang Heng had already spoken first.

“Elder Vannes!”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, after being bombarded by flying stones, Fang Heng seemed to have reached his limit. He spat out a mouthful of blood and slammed heavily into a tree behind him.

Fang Heng caught sight of Vannes in the crowd and couldn’t help but smirk.

“Elder Vannes, I see you again.”

What a coincidence!

Fang Heng opened his hand and threw a seed towards Vannes.

“I found what you were looking for! Take it!”

“Whoosh!”

Fang Heng forcefully threw the seed, creating a whistling sound as it sliced through the air.

What?

Vannes frowned, surprised to hear Fang Heng calling him, then saw a seed flying towards him in midair. Instinctively, he reached out to catch it.

“Snap!”

Vannes caught the seed and immediately felt a warm pulsation of sacred tree energy in his palm.

“It’s the essence of the sacred tree!”

Before Vannes could react, several elders from other clans understood what the seed-like object was in an instant.

“Stop him!”

There couldn’t be a mistake!

The sacred tree energy they had sensed from Fang Heng just now was emanating from the seed!

Although they didn’t know how Fang Heng obtained the essence of the sacred tree, what they saw now explained everything.

In almost an instant, everyone’s gaze shifted away from Fang Heng and firmly onto Vannes.

Vannes was a bit stunned too.

The essence of the sacred tree?

Indeed, he felt a gentle flow of natural energy in his palm as he examined the seed with some confusion.

A gentle strength emanated from the seed in his palm.

The surrounding tree spirit tribe members became even more convinced that the seed in Vannes’s hand was extracted from the withered sacred tree, thanks to the enveloping natural energy.

“Vannes, you actually allowed humans to enter the Ring of the Ages! And you dared to take the essence of the sacred tree from the Altar of the Wood God! What are your intentions!”

The elder patriarch of the Wood tribe immediately turned to Vannes, seizing the opportunity, “The essence of the sacred tree doesn’t belong to you. Hand over the seed!”

The rest of the tree spirit tribe remained silent, but they subtly surrounded Vannes and his group, ready to act at any moment.

It was actually the seed of the sacred tree!

At this moment, Vannes finally understood, feeling both shocked and delighted.

Fang Heng had actually managed to obtain the essence of the sacred tree, yet he brought the elite seed out of the Ring of the Ages and handed it over to them!

This completely exceeded their expectations!

Even Great Elder Senzo probably couldn’t imagine that Fang Heng could achieve this!

But now, with the essence of the sacred tree in their possession, their leaf tribe became a thorn in the side of the other tribes!

It wouldn’t be easy to leave with the essence of the sacred tree.

That idiot Fang Heng!

Why did he have to take out the seed in front of so many people?!

Just as Vannes was about to say something, a series of dull impacts resounded from the entrance of the Ring of the Ages.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

He turned around and looked at the entrance of the valley, only to see a dense mass of huge rocks shooting out from the entrance!

Turning back to the valley entrance, they saw a dense barrage of large rocks shooting out!

The tree spirits who had gathered at the entrance of the Ring of the Ages quickly scattered.

Slowly, the giants formed from the falling stones.

What!

Stone spirit puppets?

The attention of the tree spirits was once again partly drawn to the stone spirit puppets.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the stone spirit puppets were once one of the overlords of the Inner World, with an extremely violent temperament, causing great trouble for the tree spirits.

Later, the Elders Council intervened, gathering the strength of the four major tribes to seal the stone spirit puppets completely within the sacred tree.

Why did they appear again?

The stone giant puppets harbored a strong hatred toward the seeds. Regardless, upon recondensing and finding themselves blocked by a group of tree spirits, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the surrounding tree spirits!

Vannes hadn’t grasped the situation yet and subsequently became the target of numerous stone spirit puppets!

No one had expected the stone spirit puppets to be the first to act.

Suddenly, the area around the entrance to the gorge descended into chaos.

Amid the chaos, Vannes and his leaf tribe companions became the target of everyone’s attacks.

With the silent agreement, everyone dealt with the tree spirits while keeping a close eye on Vannes and his group, determined not to let go of the essence of the sacred tree.

After being struck by the giant rocks, Fang Heng was knocked against a large tree behind him and then fell to the ground. He couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly, pretending to be unconscious, while sneakily glancing at the game hints.

[Hint: The player has submitted the essence of the sacred tree to the leaf tribe. The completion rate of the mission “Trade mission from the Leaf tribe” has reached 100% (the mission cannot be overcomplete). The player can seek Elder Senzo to claim the reward.]

[Hint: The player’s friendship level with the tree spirit tribe has decreased by 2 points.]

Ha! What a stroke of luck!

Fang Heng saw the game hint appear, and he was instantly delighted.

Upon careful consideration, it made sense.

The tree spirit tribe originally just wanted to obtain the Nature’s Heart Crystal from the Altar of the Wood God, but now that they had obtained the higher-level essence of the sacred tree, the mission was naturally completed with extra credit.

Fang Heng glanced again at Vannes, who was currently in trouble.

As for the damaged seed, he decided to hand it over to Vannes for now. They could repair it, and he would come back to retrieve it later.
