Chapter 1224 - 1224 The Sacred Tree Forest

1224 The Sacred Tree Forest

“Tsk, they’re lucky.”

Seeing Feudal Lord Chadwick successfully retreat, Mo Jiawei’s anger had not been fully vented yet.

“Should we give chase? Or should we go back and let Mr. Qiu study the ores I got? I’m guessing there’s something fishy about the ores.”

Fang Heng looked in the direction where Chadwick escaped and said frankly, “Chase!”

Since the materials needed to build the mage tower had been s.n.a.t.c.hed, they couldn’t just leave the matter hanging like this.

Moreover, the ores that Mo Jiawei had just discovered were a type of high-concentration crystal ore. They could be used as an energy source for the mage tower.

Ordinary people might not be able to mine due to the infectious substance on the ore, but he was different.

His zombie clones were more poisonous than those infectious substances.

If they could successfully occupy the mine area and mine it…

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

They still had time to occupy the mine with the zombie clones before the Empire came to their senses! While they were at it, they could take down the entire city as well!

Then, they would build a mage tower in the Empire and complete the teleportation pa.s.sage!

Fang Heng thought about it and then raised his morale, “Let’s go. I’ll get revenge for you!”

…

“What? Hani City has fallen?!”

Not long ago, the royal guards had arrived at the Empire’s city closest to Hani City through the teleportation pa.s.sage.

With His Majesty’s orders, Xiao Yun did not dare to delay, immediately leading the troops toward Hani City.

Unexpectedly, just as the team was halfway there, the griffins that were scouting ahead sent back news of the fall of Hani City.

Xiao Yun’s expression changed.

When he accepted the mission, he had already regarded Fang Heng as the most dangerous enemy.

He didn’t expect that he had still underestimated him!

To think the other party had taken down Hani City in such a short time… This was something that even the barbarians had never done!

The players who had followed the royal guards to deal with the Land of Plague also had different expressions on their faces.

How did he do it? In such a short time?

Everyone couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

Most of the players were from small guilds and teams in the game. They had received a mission from the Empire not long ago and had come to meet up with the royal guards, hoping to get some rewards.

He didn’t expect to receive the bad news of Hani City being captured halfway.

In fact, most players lacked a basic understanding of the Land of Plague.

After all, the Land of Plague had risen too quickly, and many were only hearing this name for the first time.

“Fang Heng!”

Xiao Yun etched this name in his heart, and raised his hand to signal to his team, “Pa.s.s on my order! Everyone, accelerate! We must take advantage of the fact that the Land of Plague has just taken over Hani City and has yet to gain a firm foothold! We must take back Hani City!”

“Yes!”

Xiao Yun raised the morale of the troops and led them in the direction of Hani City.

However, after the team continued to move forward for about ten minutes, they stopped again.

The path ahead was blocked by a dense forest area.

The forest seemed very strange. Dense vines were twisted together, completely blocking the path ahead.

A forest area?

Xiao Yun raised his binoculars and looked into the distance.

At first glance, it was all green!

Xiao Yun frowned and looked further away.

It was still a large area of lush forest.

The forest seemed to be endless!

Xiao Yun’s expression was strange. He took the map from his subordinate and compared it to the forest in front of him, his eyes flickering.

“What’s with this forest? Why is it not shown on the map?”

The guides that had come with the troop also raised their binoculars and looked into the distance.

Looking at the large patch of green that was covered by the vines, the guides were also stunned.

“No, I walk this path every day. We can’t possibly be on the wrong path.”

“This is impossible. There was nothing here before. How could such a large forest area suddenly appear? Could it be…

“I’ve lived here for decades, but I’ve never seen this forest before.”

“The sacred tree!”

“It must be a sacred tree. This is a miracle.”

“The rumors about the Land of Plague are true.”

The guides couldn’t help but mutter to themselves.

“Lord Commander, the sacred trees have surrounded the entire forest. This…”

Not only the guides but the players at the back of the team were also shocked by this scene.

They had all heard of the Land of Plague’s sacred tree.

According to the rumors, the Land of Plague had relied on the power of the sacred tree to destroy the barbarian race’s army.

In the beginning, everyone held a skeptical att.i.tude.

Nowadays, fake rumors were simply rampant, and it was too difficult to distinguish them.

Well, even if the Land of Plague could really resist the barbarians’ attack, they were still too confident if they wanted to fight against the entire human Empire by themselves.

But now that they were looking at the forest covered by the sacred tree with their own eyes, the players finally realized the difficulty of this mission.

Seeing the chaos in the rear, Xiao Yun frowned, his heart trembling.

He had heard of the Land of Plague’s giant-sized sacred tree before he came.

However, it was rumored that the sacred tree only existed in the Land of Plague.

They were still a long way from Hany city!

Since when did the sacred tree manage to spread and even reach here?

“Hmph!”

Even though his heart was filled with shock, on the surface, Xiao Yun forced himself to remain calm as if victory was already in his grasp.

He snorted coldly, raised the sword in his hand, and pointed it at the forest in front of him, “Simply mystifying things! Royal guards, hear my order! Step forward! Open the way!”

“Yes!”

The Empire’s royal guards responded in unison.

The royal guards moved forward in formation and tried to force a path through the th.o.r.n.y forest with their sharp swords.

Woof!!

The tenacity of the vines was beyond the imagination of the royal guards.

The royal guards waved the refined steel swords in their hands and only managed to forcibly open a path in the dense forest by expending a lot of strength in cutting the vines along the way.

The team’s atmosphere was a little heavy.

The players at the back of the team had ugly expressions on their faces.

Although the royal guards had temporarily opened up an opening in the forest, their efficiency was too low.

At this speed, the team would probably arrive at Hani City tomorrow.

The few players at the back exchanged glances.

They simply didn’t dare to casually enter this strange forest.

“Chi… Chi, chi, chi…”

What was that sound?

Hearing the sudden noise, the players couldn’t help but look up again at the forest entrance that had been cut open.

“Be careful!”

“What?”

“Behind! Vines! Be careful!”

The players shouted.

“Chi, chi, chi…”

All of a sudden, the forest seemed to sense intruders, and thin, new vines extended out from the dense forest!

“Retreat! Quickly retreat!”

Seeing the dense vines coming from all directions, the expressions of the royal guards who had entered the forest and were cutting through the thorns changed greatly. They immediately ran back and retreated from the forest area.

In just a short moment, the path that the royal guards had just painstakingly opened up was once again blocked by th.o.r.n.y vines.

The team fell silent again, leaving only the heavy breathing of the royal guards.
