Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game-Chapter 2277 Forest
Chapter 2277 Forest
In another part, amidst the thickets.
The tree spirit clan could only sense the aura of the sacred tree leaking from the island, roughly discerning its central location, but unaware of Abe Akaya's exact whereabouts in the underground domain.
The young members of various major clans entered the forest domain in batches, soon engaging in skirmishes.
Two members of the Leaf tribe and Wood tribe clashed head-on.
In reality, the Leaf tribe had set an ambush beforehand.
Seeing the Wood tribe entering the ambush zone, they immediately launched a surprise attack!
When foes meet, no reasons are needed.
The Wood tribe, realizing they were being ambushed, immediately countered with nature spells!
"Bang!!"
A member of the Wood tribe was hit by the Leaf tribe's ambush, receiving continuous cuts from the leaves and then being thrown backward by two Leaf tribe members, crashing onto a large tree behind.
"Poof!"
The Wood tribe member was severely injured, spitting out blood.
Having just been ambushed by the Leaf tribe, and now suffering internal injuries, he struggled to support his heavily injured body to stand up and help another teammate, suddenly frowning.
Huh?
What's this?
Suddenly, he noticed something unusual about the tree behind him that he was leaning on. It seemed to have come to life, as thin needles emerged from the trunk!
The needles were as hard as steel, instantly piercing through his skin.
Pain!
As a sharp pain spread, the Wood tribe guard immediately felt a strong sense of weakness engulfing him.
Poison!?
He struggled to break free, to help his companion, but it felt like an immense weight was pressing down on him, almost immobilizing him.
What!?
The Wood tribe member was astonished to find movement beneath the soft layer of fallen leaves.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!"
Fine vines surged from below, rapidly spreading towards him!
What!
The Wood tribe member tried to shout for help, but his voice seemed stuck in his throat, unable to make any sound.
He watched helplessly as the vines quickly entangled him, and his body sank slowly into the ground like quicksand...
"Boom! Boom, Boom, Boom!!!"
Not far away, two members of the Leaf tribe ambushed and severely injured a Wood tribe guard, continuing to fiercely attack another Wood tribe member.
With two against one, the remaining Wood tribe member instantly found himself at a disadvantage.
After taking some time to quickly deal with the Wood tribe guard, the two Leaf tribe members turned their attention to the injured Wood tribe member.
Huh?
Where's the person?
Turning back, they realized that the heavily injured Wood tribe member who had been ambushed had disappeared without a trace.
Ran away?
So decisively?
"Let's not bother, let's go."
The two looked at each other, no longer concerned about the fleeing Wood tribe member, and quickly withdrew together.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
Beneath the ground covered by red vines and fallen leaves, the corpse of the Wood tribe member was slowly dragged into the ground by the vines of Abe Akaya.
In the underground basement of the island, through the screens, Gu Qingzhu and several others in the underground research institute witnessed this scene, their expressions filled with gravity.
"Abe Akaya is attempting to absorb the energy converted by those tree spirit clans," Cleriway nodded softly, analyzing.
This ability seemed somewhat eerie to Cleriway, different from the life ancient tree of the elves.
It belonged to another form of power.
"Someone has already been probing towards the underground," Gu Qingzhu looked towards another surveillance monitor facing the underground passage, saying, "You stay here, I'll find a way to deal with them first."
"Alright," Cleriway nodded, "I'll make sure Abe Akaya assists you."
...
[Hint: Abe Akaya successfully absorbed the Wood tribe guard using the blood nutrient skill, converting 12,938 experience points...]
[Hint: The player's zombie clone (in normal form) obtained 1 piece of inferior white frost ore through excavation...]
[Hint: The player's zombie clone practiced 'mental honing' and gained psychic experience points...]
[Hint: ...]
Game hints related to Abe Akaya flashed on Fang Heng's retina.
However, amidst the multitude of hints, scattered bits of information about Abe Akaya were drowned out, failing to catch his attention.
At this moment, Fang Heng had just returned from the dimensional space.
Including the sacrificial jar provided by the Leaf tribe, this wave of entering the dimensional world absorbed a total of ten jars of dimensional strength!
Taking advantage of the Leaf tribe's arrangement of magic arrays and the moments between the dimensional jars, Fang Heng secretly placed the two jars containing the energy he had covertly absorbed into the secret room on the third basement floor.
With some time remaining, Fang Heng temporarily logged off to check on Mo Jiawei's situation with Abe Akaya.
He logged off right where he stood
Fang Heng opened his phone and realized it was about to explode with notifications.
Seeing several messages, Fang Heng immediately called Mo Jiawei's assistant again.
"What's the situation?"
Mo Jiawei quickly answered the call and swiftly recounted what had happened on the island.
"All four major clans have gathered on the outskirts of the island. They sent a group of people to explore the small island. Abe Akaya and Gu Qingzhu have managed to hold them off, but they probably won't be able to stop them for long."
Fang Heng furrowed his brows as he listened.
How did the tree spirit clan find their way here?
Well, so be it.
Since the island has been discovered, they could just abandon it.
For now, even though Abe Akaya has gained some strength, he's still not ready to face the tree spirit clan head-on.
They need to 'develop' a bit more.
Once their strength is sufficiently accumulated, they can find another location to open a teleportation passage and send Abe Akaya over.
As long as Abe Akaya's main body is not severely injured, everything will be fine.
"Okay, I can't return for now. I'll leave it to you. Try to delay them for a while longer, and if things get worse, immediately deactivate Abe Akaya's magic array and erase all traces."
"Understood, leave it to me."
After ending the call, Fang Heng hurriedly returned to the game world.
...
Fang Heng reentered the game.
He once again used the magic array to teleport to the second basement of the Temple of Incantation. Fang Heng could hear some commotion outside the room.
Someone was whispering just outside the door.
Approaching, Fang Heng opened the door to find Zet and a group of unfamiliar faces standing outside.
As soon as they saw Fang Heng, they immediately ceased their conversation and directed numerous gazes toward him.
Zet introduced them, "Fang Heng, these are reinforcements from headquarters. They've just escorted a Nature's Heart here, and they'll help us operate the magic array together."
In Zet's eyes, Fang Heng was pushing himself too hard.
Twenty-four hours of non-stop operation of the magic array was too much for him and his team to handle alone.
Even Nature's Heart had been completely depleted of energy and shattered.
So, Zet urgently requested a new Nature's Heart Crystal from the Great Elder and called for additional assistance to operate the magic array.
