Chapter 2201: Good Stuff

Ana and a few others looked at Fang Heng with confusion.

They didn’t know what Fang Heng’s gaze meant for them, and they dared not move recklessly, hesitating about whether they should say something…

“Swoosh! Swoosh!!”

A magic array under Fang Heng’s feet rapidly rotated!

Immediately after, dense blood gushed out from the magic array, enveloping Fang Heng entirely.

Swoosh!

Fang Heng, along with the blood, disappeared from the spot.

What’s going on?!

Disappeared?

Ana and the others were all stunned for a moment, looking at each other.

Fang Heng had completely disappeared from their sight, leaving behind only the four wooden caskets placed in front.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Ana.

Ana was also at a loss, looking at the four wooden caskets left by Fang Heng, she cautiously swallowed, taking a step forward.

Just as she took a step, the teleportation passage behind her reacted.

Hundreds of Lickers continuously rushed out from the teleportation passage, gathering around the wooden caskets.

It looked like they were guarding the wooden caskets.

“This…”

Ana looked at the Lickers, who appeared alert, and involuntarily retreated her step.

They were in an awkward situation…

So, what should they do next?

They suddenly found themselves in a dilemma.

Should they pick up the caskets?

But there were so many Lickers outside, which seemed difficult to deal with…

Should they attack proactively?

They might end up being torn apart by the Lickers…

Should they run away?

Without getting the caskets, would it make sense to run away now?

Plus, without Fang Heng, they would only be trapped in the dense jungle outside!

What should they do?

The group glanced at each other.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. Fang Heng might have just temporarily left…”

In the real world, Fang Heng wasn’t in a hurry.

The Ring of the Ages had significant restrictions on the tree spirit clan.

Even if the tree spirit clan forcefully intruded, the root maze could hold them back for a long time.

That was enough time for him to gather some information.

Soon, Mo Jiawei also logged out of the game.

The two of them got in touch and quickly contacted Sandy, asking if he had found any information about the part they discovered last time in the Prayer Temple of the tree spirit clan.

So Mo Jiawei once again became a human telephone, constantly logging in and out to relay messages between the two.

Until the fifth time he logged in, Mo Jiawei said, “Mr. Fang, Sandy thinks you may have found something very important. He’s clamoring to talk to you, and he seems quite impatient. We couldn’t hold him back. Cleriway should still have the leaf crystal she gave you. Wait a moment, she’ll help us set up the internet connection.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Fang Heng also felt that relying on Mo Jiawei to relay messages was too troublesome. Sandy kept asking about the domain he was currently in, but what he saw in front of him was difficult to describe in just a few words.

He decided to establish a remote mirror communication link.

Soon, Fang Heng returned to the game world once again.

One after another, it took nearly half an hour.

Ana and the other humans remained in place, still somewhat bewildered.

Before entering the Ring of the Ages, Osman had given them an emblem seal. This seal could be used to contact Osman outside. However, it was a consumable item and was suppressed by the Ring of the Ages, quickly depleting its energy. It provided only one opportunity for remote communication.

Should they use it now?

But…

Ana felt that in their current situation, even if they used remote communication or if Osman came in person, it wouldn’t solve their troubles.

Should they take a gamble?

Should they go up and confront the group of Lickers?

They really didn’t dare.

After all, the vivid memory of the Lickers dealing with the group of snakes had left a deep impression on them. Lickers were much more terrifying than those snake creatures!

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

As they hesitated, they saw another magic array appear at the spot where Fang Heng had disappeared earlier. Ana and the others felt a chill in their hearts and instinctively took a few steps back.

Blood once again overflowed from the magic array!

It was Fang Heng!

He had returned!

Watching Fang Heng gradually solidify within the blood, Ana gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and took a half step forward, saying, “Mr. Fang Heng, we…”

Fang Heng re-entered the game world through the teleportation magic array, casting a cold glance at everyone and shaking his head to signal them not to speak.

“Um…”

Ana, who had been preparing her words for quite some time, once again found herself at a loss for words.

Fang Heng walked to the side and took out a leaf-shaped crystal from his pocket.

The crystal emitted a faint glow.

It seemed that Cleriway had already prepared the communication link.

Fang Heng infused his mental strength into the imprint.

Although natural sciences were significantly suppressed within the Ring of the Ages, the suppression in this area was not as severe as the outside world.

After being infused with mental strength, the crystal operated perfectly.

“Buzz…”

The crystal activated, and faint spatial ripples were projected ahead.

The crystal triggered, and faint spatial ripples were projected ahead.

A spatial ripple gradually condensed ahead.

Soon, within the dispersed spatial ripples, a familiar face gradually appeared.

It was Cleriway.

Cleriway had her eyes tightly closed.

Forest communication was greatly interfered with, forcing her to exert all her efforts to maintain the communication.

Then, another head poked out from the side, a large face directly blocking Cleriway’s visage.

“Mr. Fang! Oh my goodness! I have a premonition that you’ve found something incredible!”

Sandy was still flipping through a page of a tattered book. His expression was extremely excited as he urged, “Quick, show me that precious crystal you found again! Oh, and also, that altar, it’s very important.”

“Mm.”

Fang Heng agreed and took a step forward.

The mirror communication wave moved slowly along with the emblem in Fang Heng’s hand.

Under the gaze of Ana and the others, Fang Heng walked through the Licker group and arrived at the wooden caskets.

Opening one of the wooden caskets, Fang Heng took out the irregularly shaped Nature’s Heart Crystal and displayed it in front of Sandy.

“Nature’s Heart!”

Sandy carefully examined the surface of the crystal, flipping through the book several times for detailed comparisons. His eyes lit up with even more excitement and he shouted, “Fang Heng, if my guess is correct, this thing should be the Nature’s Heart of the tree spirit clan!”

Sandy exclaimed, “It’s worth a lot of money… I mean, it has great collectible value! Very valuable!”

“What do you mean? Sandy, you have to explain clearly, what exactly is its use?”

Sandy wiped the corner of his mouth and continued to explain, “Well, you got quite a few books from the Prayer Temple before, right? 1 spent all this time reading through them. The Nature’s Heart Crystal is actually used to cultivate energy for the sacred tree of the tree spirit clan.”

“Cultivate energy?” Fang Heng became increasingly puzzled as he listened, “What do you mean?”

“Do you know that the tree spirit clan is divided into four tribes, and each time the old generation of sacred trees withers away, the tree spirit clan selects the next patriarch as the leader?”
