Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2398  Loyalty

"What's wrong? Are you interested in going to the Holy Realm to see the sealed demonic seed?" Fang Heng glanced at Tippy, spreading his hands in a helpless gesture. "That might be a bit difficult; the people over there aren't easy to communicate with, and I'm afraid I'd be sealed along with Shaluba as a supposed accomplice."

"Yeah, I've heard about the Holy Realm."

This time, it was Fang Heng's turn to be surprised. He turned to Tippy and asked, "What? You know about the Holy Realm? When did this happen?"

"I read some records about the Holy Realm in the ancient books left by the Elders Council," Tippy recalled. "It was a long time ago. Someone who claimed to come from the Holy Realm said he was willing to share the power of the Holy Realm with us..."

Tippy shook her head. "But let's not talk about that for now. Fang Heng, can you really ensure that the demonic seed won't come back?"

"Of course. If I could seal him once, I can seal him a second time," Fang Heng replied confidently. He then looked at Tippy and asked, "More importantly, I care about your promise. According to our agreement, if I could eliminate the demonic seed, you would be willing to pledge loyalty to me. What about now?"

Tippy stared at Fang Heng, falling silent for a moment.

In the time she had spent with him, Fang Heng's rapid growth in strength had exceeded everyone's expectations.

At present, aside from the Soul tribe, the other three major clans had been annihilated by the vampires.

If it came to a confrontation, Tippy felt that her Soul tribe had no chance of winning.

Moreover, Fang Heng had indeed passed the trials of the first-generation sacred tree, and he was meant to become the new leader of the tree spirit tribe.

As for the demand for Fang Heng to completely eliminate the demonic seed Shaluba, Tippy knew that it was merely a way for the four major clans to make things difficult for him.

She reflected honestly on her feelings and realized that she was willing to believe what Fang Heng had said.

However, the Soul tribe still needed a more definitive answer.

"Fang Heng, this is a crucial matter. I need to confirm once more. Our Soul tribe will immediately begin to cleanse the black fog in the Inner World. If the black fog does not reappear after some time, then it would mean that Shaluba has indeed been completely sealed, and our Soul tribe will pledge loyalty to you, supporting the vampires as the new leaders of the tree spirit tribe."

[Hint: The player's current mission-Unknown Shadow has changed.]

Mission name: Unknown Shadow.

Mission description: You have reached an agreement with the Soul tribe to temporarily seal one of the demonic seed artifacts, Shaluba, but you are unable to provide effective evidence to prove this.

Mission requirements: Prevent the demonic seed Shaluba from reappearing in the World of Forests (for 52 hours).

Mission reward: Loyalty of the Soul tribe, a large amount of reputation points with the tree spirit tribe, and friendship with the Soul tribe.

"Of course," Fang Heng said, looking at the game hint that appeared on his retina, a gentle smile spreading across his face, "That's absolutely fine."

"Now, let's go take a look at the sacred tree saplings cultivated by the Root tribe."

...

In the central underground passage of the Root tribe's camp, the remaining elders were struggling against the invading blood vampires. Ever since the great elder, Geoffrey, had led the tribe to pledge complete loyalty to the demonic seed, they had transferred the sacred tree saplings to the Inner World.

At this moment, only a few elders remained, leading the last of their kin in a desperate attempt to fend off the invaders. The honor elder had pushed the saplings' power to its limits, but they were still unable to hold back the onslaught.

The invading blood vampires relentlessly devoured the lives of the Root tribe's guards within the cave. The strength of the sacred tree saplings was waning, and the elders felt a wave of despair wash over them.

They had witnessed a rapid increase in the strength of the vampires over a short period.

"Hold on!" the honor elder shouted, trying to rally the spirits of his people. "The Lord of the demonic seed will come to our aid soon..."

Boom!!!

A loud crash echoed from outside the cave, followed by a surge of Lickers pouring in.

"It's the Lickers! Be careful!"

An elder recognized the threat.

The honor elder furrowed his brow and clasped his hands together in front of him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

Dozens of black roots shot up from the ground, attempting to pierce through the advancing licker horde.

"Bang! Bang!!!"

Several Lickers at the front were knocked back by the force of the roots, but more continued to flood into the cave.

Suddenly, a figure darted out from the entrance, moving swiftly toward them.

It was Fang Heng!

The elder of the Root tribe's pupils shrank as numerous black roots erupted from the ground, rapidly attacking Fang Heng!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The dense roots crashed into the shadow, exploding in a violent burst!

"Whoosh!!"

A figure leaped out from the shattered ruins of the roots.

"Boom!!"

Fang Heng's punch sent the Root tribe elder flying, crashing heavily into the rocky wall behind him. He immediately felt as if his body was falling apart, intense pain coursing through him, making it incredibly difficult to even stand up.

Tippy followed the other vampires into the underground cave of the Root tribe.

Watching Fang Heng unleash that punch, a shock ran through her mind.

Was this Fang Heng's true strength?

Or had he made such terrifying progress in just a short time? n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Even with the power of the sacred tree protecting him, the fact that Fang Heng could seriously injure the Root tribe elder with a single punch was astonishing!

Though it was a sneak attack, achieving this level of power would likely be impossible even for Jeno, the Great Elder of the Soul tribe.

The Root tribe elder struggled to rise, still wanting to say something when suddenly, a great holy sword materialized in Fang Heng's hand.

"Hu!!"

The great holy sword swung!

A holy ripple radiated outward from the sword's center, rapidly expanding!

"Chi! Chi! Chi!!"

As it touched the black fog, the entire cave was instantly enveloped in a rising white mist, the black fog boiling away!

"Everyone, attack together! Take him down!"

The honor elder gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand, trying to rally his comrades to deal with Fang Heng.

But no one responded.

Looking around in confusion, he saw that his companions were already entangled with the Prince of the vampires Carl and others who had rushed into the great hall.

They couldn't even take care of themselves, let alone deal with Fang Heng.

Was this the end...?

Despair flashed in the honor elder's eyes.

"Whoosh!!"

In the next moment, a figure flashed before him.

The honor elder looked down to see Fang Heng's great holy sword piercing cleanly through his heart.

[Hint: The player has killed the honor elder of the Root tribe. The player gains rainbow crystal*7. Current bloodline prosperity of the Root tribe has dropped to 4.12%.]

Fang Heng gently lifted his hand, collecting the rainbow crystals that had burst forth from the elder's corpse.

After several tests, he had figured it out.

The backlash that the sea of consciousness experienced was related to the consumption of mental strength.

A large amount of mental strength used in a short period would lead to fluctuations in the sea of consciousness and cause a backlash. However, engaging in close combat using his powerful physical attributes did not affect him whatsoever.

The impact on his combat strength was still within acceptable limits. With about eighty percent of his strength, he could easily handle the honor elder of the Root tribe.
