Chapter 2261 Killing
"Puff!!!"
Hermes spat out another mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper, and he fell heavily backward.

"Done!"
Got a little something!
Fang Heng saw the game hints pop up and felt greatly pleased. He reached forward from a distance.
The rainbow crystal that burst out after Hermes' death flew into his hand.
[Hint: Tier 1 rainbow crystals*6.]
[Hint: The player currently meets the level-up conditions but cannot level up in the current state. Please exit the special state of the holy weapon and try to level up.]
He had the rainbow crystals in hand.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any other treasures from the loot.
Currently in the state of the simulated character of the holy weapon, Fang Heng couldn't level up temporarily.
No rush.
He'd level up when he found a safe spot.
Fang Heng thought as he quickly hid among the crowd.
"Elder! Elder!" Seeing Elder Hermes suddenly drop dead, the root tribe guards were thrown into panic, feeling somewhat at a loss for what to do.
They only felt that Elder Hermes must have died in the battle with the Leaf tribe.
Some of them tried to investigate the direction indicated by Elder Hermes before his death, thinking there might be some anomaly.
However, Fang Heng had already entered the secondary space projection ahead of time, so the root tribe found nothing despite their sear
...
"Elder Hermes has sacrificed himself."
Inside the temple, upon hearing this news, the faces of the root tribe turned grim.
Tippy's expression also grew heavier.
She had been urging everyone to restrain themselves, but it resulted in the death of an elder.
"Hahaha, didn't expect that old man to be so fragile!" Vannes couldn't believe he knocked an elder out with one punch. Upon hearing this, he burst into wild laughter. "They're all a bunch of useless fools!"
"Leaf tribe! I'll make you pay in blood for this!"
With the Great Elder of the root tribe dead in vain, anger surged among the people, and their attacks became fiercer.
"Go!"
Elder Farouk suddenly roared angrily, his voice like thunder.
Then, the magic array at the center of the main hall started spinning rapidly, emitting a dazzling light!
The shining green light almost illuminated the entire hall, making it impossible to look directly at!
The intense waves seemed like they could overturn the entire hall!
"Retreat!"
The other elders immediately led their people to step back upon seeing this!
In the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the energy eruption, Vannes and Ian, along with over ten remaining members of the Leaf tribe in the main hall, broke through to the front right!
With the sudden turn of events, everyone was focused on resisting the waves of the magic array and didn't have time to stop Vannes and his group from escaping.
Coincidentally, Fang Heng had just arrived at the entrance of the hall at this moment, still not having exited the secondary space projection, witnessing Vannes and his group escape.
"It seems they can't hold on any longer."
Originally, he was planning to continue secretly targeting the tree spirit tribe with the power of lifeblood, hoping to gain more heads. But now, it seemed there was no longer a chance.
Without hesitation, Fang Heng immediately turned and rushed towards the bottom of the temple.
Inside the main hall, the magic array gradually lost its light and then 'bang', shattered on the spot!
Elder Farouk's life also came to an end, closing his eyes for good.
Everyone looked at each other, a moment of silence descending upon them.
In order to buy time for Vannes and his group to escape, Elder Farouk sacrificed his life to forcibly activate the magic array.
Actually, all the elders present saw Vannes and his group leaving, but they only made a token effort to intercept them, not putting their full effort into stopping them.
It wasn't necessary.
Some other members of the tribes wanted to pursue but were stopped by the elders.
"No need to chase!"
Watching the Leaf tribe people breaking through to the outside, Klonor snorted heavily.
"Elder." A tribesman came to Tippy's side, glanced in the direction the Leaf tribe people escaped, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "The guards outside the main gate might not be able to stop them. Shouldn't we go after them?"
"No need. The sacred tree sapling isn't with them. Reinforce the surveillance outside the temple to prevent them from returning."
"Understood!"
Tippy understood the purpose of this expedition.
They didn't want the lives of the Leaf tribe people; they wanted to get the sacred tree sapling!
Driving away the Leaf tribe had achieved their goal.
The remaining three major tribes became more wary of each other again, fearing that one might secretly sabotage the other.
Go after Vannes and his people?
No time!
Everyone knew that if they chased after them, they would only lose the opportunity to search for the sacred tree sapling.
Several tribesmen approached to inspect the remnants of the magic array in the main hall.
After a moment, a tribesman stepped forward to report, "Elders, the magic array is completely damaged and unusable. We didn't find any trace of the sacred tree sapling."
Huh?
Didn't find the sacred tree sapling?
Several elders closed their eyes simultaneously, focusing on searching for the aura of the sacred tree sapling.
Strange! Couldn't find it?
Why would that be?
When they opened their eyes again, they saw the mutual confusion in each other's eyes.
They had already sealed off all the entrances and exits of the temple in advance.
They were also very sure that the Leaf tribe didn't carry the sacred tree sapling when they escaped.
With Farouk's abilities, he could at most conceal some of the aura of the sacred tree sapling.
At such a close distance, the aura of the sacred tree sapling definitely couldn't be hidden.
Not to mention, Farouk was already dead.
Was it hidden by the Leaf tribe?
"Search!" Tippy said coldly, "Search the entire temple!"
"Understood!"
The tribes immediately dispersed to search inside the temple.
"Report!"
Soon, tribesmen returned one after another to report, "We have roughly searched the entire temple and have not found any special anomalies. Some areas in the main hall have collapsed, blocking the passage. We are digging and clearing it. It will take some time to thoroughly search the temple."
Everyone looked at each other.
Where did the Leaf tribe hide the sacred tree sapling?
At this point, it seemed that each tribe had to show their own divine insight.
"Let's go, take me there to have a look."
....
Meanwhile, Fang Heng had already returned to the lowest level of the basement with Ovi, escorting the sacred tree sapling into the passage that was still under excavation.
"Afterward, follow the passage straight ahead. The zombie creatures are still digging forward. If you reach the end, wait for a while. Soon, after the passage is dug through, you will see the exit."
Ovi nodded, looking at Fang Heng, and asked, "And you?"
