Chapter 2315 Making a Move


    Until the red glow emanating from the Prayer Temple gradually subsided, Serge looked up again.


    Apanied by a cluster of vampires, Fang Heng emerged from the temple.


    After more than 30 hours of effort, his dimensional strength had increased by three grades. He felt quite satisfied with the results.


    Noticing Serge waiting at the entrance, Fang Heng thought to himself and immediately put on a smile. He asked, "Elder Serge, what a coincidence. I was just about toe find you. Are you ready to deal with the Wood tribe?"


    "We''re here for that very reason." Serge''s gaze focused on Fang Heng, nodding. "Everything is prepared. We''re ready to move."


    "Then let''s go."


    ...


    Since the Federation''s spiritual domainwork blockade failed, there has been an absolute reversal in the overall strength between the tree spirit tribe and humanity. As a result, the actions of various ns within the tree spirit tribe have be increasingly bold.


    Except for the Soul tribe''s hidden habitat, the locations of the habitats of the other three major tribes are now openly exposed to humanity. None of the tribes have any intention of hiding.


    The power fluctuations released during the cultivation of the sacred tree were immense. There is no need to waste time concealing them. Everything is aimed at nurturing the sapling of the sacred tree as quickly as possible.


    Even temporary cooperation with humans is deemed eptable.


    At the periphery of the Wood tribe''s habitat, guards remain concealed within outposts, maintaining a vignt watch day and night without rxation.


    Rumors abound that the Leaf tribe suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of humans a couple of days ago. This news is a great relief to the Wood tribe, who have historically been at odds with the Leaf tribe.


    This incident quickly became a topic of casual conversation among the Wood tribe.


    Naturally, they do not wish to be the next target of attack. Consequently, the Wood tribe has bolstered its security measures.


    Eh?


    A Wood tribe guard suddenly noticed something, looking up towards the dense forest in the distance with a serious expression.


    What was that?


    Seeing a red blur darting out from the thickets, the Wood tribe guard''s heart skipped a beat.


    No way?!


    They jinxed it!


    "Oh no! Enemy attack!"


    From the depths of the distant forest, crimson life forms surged out from the cracks in the primeval forest, charging toward their habitat!


    That''s right! It''s the Lickers!


    Immediate rms echoed through the habitat.


    A pale blue defensive barrier deployed, as numerous Wood tribe guards rushed from within the habitat to reinforce. Nature arrows were swiftly unleashed from a distance into the oing horde of Lickers.


    The results were terribly ineffective!


    The Wood tribe guards quickly realized the terrifying vitality of the Licker horde.


    The periphery of the habitat trembled violently as the primeval forest, home to the towering ancient trees, seemed toe to life. Giant trees uprooted themselves and staggered forward, interposing themselves horizontally in front of the oing horde of Lickers!


    This was the Wood tribe''s most adept skill—summoning the tree people!


    Traditionally, the Wood tribe''s tactic involved using these massive tree people to block the front lines while employing spell arrows from the rear ranks.


    However, this time, things took a different turn.


    The Licker horde wasted no time and immediately charged at the tree people! N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Due to their immense size, the Lickers mbered up the tree people''s bodies upon reaching them,tching on and ferociously shing with their razor-sharp ws.


    The sharp ws swiftly tore through the thick bark defenses of the tree people!


    Wood tribe guards watched in horror as the scene unfolded.


    The Lickers'' attack power far exceeded their expectations!


    Coupled with their terrifying numbers!


    As the Lickers overwhelmed the tree people, wing wildly at their trunks, it became evident that a single guard of the tree people would soon be annihted.


    What''s more terrifying, in the distance, a vast sea of scarlet Lickers surged forward like an unstoppable tide, seemingly without end.


    "Quick! Fall back!"


    The Wood tribe guards continued firing natural arrows to repel the Lickers while swiftly retreating toward the barrier of their habitat.


    "Use the wood tendrils! Trap them!"


    Immediately, countless small roots extended from the ground, rapidly spreading forward. Once they reached the feet of the Lickers, they would immediately ensnare and entangle them.


    The effect was decent.


    Most of the Lickers were caught and struggled for a while before breaking free.


    However, using the entanglement skill extensively drained the Wood tribe''s mental strength significantly.


    The vitality of the Licker horde was terrifying. Even though they were temporarily trapped, the Wood tribe still had no effective method to deal with them.


    Wait, what now?


    The Wood tribe suddenly noticed that the Lickers entangled by vines were rapidly condensing into flesh cocoons right where they stood.


    Swiftly expanding, these flesh cocoons almost instantly broke free from most of the vine restraints.


    It was the fusion Tyrant form!


    Different from normal Lickers, the fusion Tyrant form was arge-bodied creature with additional strength attributes.


    Suddenly, the vines entwining their feet were forcibly torn apart by the fusion Tyrant forms!


    "Watch out! They''re getting closer!"


    Watching the external defensive line being gradually torn apart by the Fusion Tyrant Forms, the Wood tribe guards were deeply rmed.


    Moments ago, they were mocking the Leaf tribe. Now, faced with the reality, they realized just how difficult Lickers were to deal with!


    "Quick! Fall back!"


    The guards retreated behind the barrier of their habitat and resumed their battle stance.


    The Fusion Tyrant Forms began to swing their fists, pounding fiercely on the defensive barrier of the habitat.


    In the depths of the primeval forest, Serge watched the unfolding battle ahead with growing unease. Two days ago, their Leaf tribe habitat had faced a simr crisis. He couldn''t shake the feeling that these Lickers were even stronger than those that had attacked the Leaf tribe.


    Was it an illusion?


    Or had these creatures truly grown more powerful in just two days?


    Serge couldn''t help but turn to look at Fang Heng. If it was thetter, then it was truly terrifying. The Wood tribe was struggling to deal with the Licker horde, suffering casualties, while Fang Heng seemed to have dispatched over a hundred Lickers with rtive ease.


    He now understood the decision of the Great Elder Senzo. Engaging in prolonged conflict with Fang Heng was clearly unwise. If only Fang Heng could be controlled or persuaded to ally with the Leaf tribe...


    "It''sing."


    Serge sensed something and looked up towards the central area of the Wood tribe habitat. A dark cyan light rose into the sky, illuminating the surroundings. Sparkling lights adhered to every Wood tribe guard within the habitat.


    Instantly, the strength of all Wood tribe guards surged dramatically.


    Several chief guards led their tribesmen in a fierce counterattack.


    Simultaneously, the Fusion Tyrant Forms that had been assaulting the outer defensive barrier of the Wood tribe habitat reverted to their Licker forms and swiftly retreated.


    Serge couldn''t help but nce at Fang Heng beside him.


    Two days ago, Fang Heng had employed simr tactics against the Leaf tribe, now repeated with the Wood tribe. It was a nauseating strategy.


    Serge now found himself feeling a mix of emotions. It wasn''t that the Leaf tribe was weak; it was that the enemy was cunning. The suffering endured by the Leaf tribe seemed destined to repeat itself elsewhere.
