Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 2306 Pulling

Chapter 2306 Pulling

The Leaf tribe guards grew increasingly anxious as they battled on.
The outer energy barrier had begun to ripple faintly, indicating it couldn't hold much longer.
Almost all the elders and defensive forces within the tribe had joined the fight.
Yet, they still lacked effective methods to deal with the Licker swarm.
Their only recourse was to slowly whittle down the numbers of the Lickers.
In the rear, within the Leaf tribe's main hall, three elders observed the battle against the Licker swarm through a mirror. Even in Senzo's eyes, there was a hint of astonishment.
It was all too eerie.
In the past encounters with Lickers, their strength was not as terrifying as it was today.
What happened in the past half-month to cause such a change?
What could have caused this drastic transformation in the Licker group?
"Great Elder, please make a decision. If this continues, the outer barrier may not hold much longer."
"Hmm," nodded Senzo. "Let Elder Yuri take action. Utilize the power of the sacred tree to address the immediate threat from outside, and then we can consider other measures."
"Understood."
A senior elder turned to the mirror projection on the other side of the hall, signaling to Elder Yuri, who oversees the sacred tree, "Elder Yuri, please activate the dimensional energy of the sacred tree to assist in repelling the enemy."
"I understand."
Buzz...
From the depths of the Leaf tribe's settlement, a green light rose from the central area.
Like a candle in the darkness, it spread outward and illuminated the surroundings in a brief moment.
Under the radiance of this light, the tree spirit tribe members were enveloped in a faint bright green glow, which instantly boosted their physical attributes as if they were injected with vitality.
Simultaneously, numerous thick vines emerged from the depths of the Leaf tribe's settlement, rapidly entangling around the feet of the Lickers and fusion Tyrant forms.
Huh?
The vampires gathered behind Fang Heng witnessed this situation for the first time and their expressions subtly changed.
The strength of the Leaf tribe guards doubled in an instant!
"Heh..."
Fang Heng chuckled softly.
It seems the Leaf tribe couldn't resist using that move.
The dimensional energy of the sacred tree.
"Let's go, let's retreat."
As Fang Heng spoke, he immediately called for the vampires behind him to retreat.
The zombie team turned and fled immediately!
There was no hesitation.
Upon discovering that the tree spirit tribe had activated the power of the sacred tree sapling, the fusion Tyrant forms swiftly switched back to their Licker forms and hurriedly retreated.
The Leaf tribe guards were just preparing to take advantage of the blessing from the sacred tree and eliminate the invaders. However, when they turned around, they found the enemy had fled.
In their Licker forms, the Licker horde fled at an incredible speed, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The Leaf tribe guards were dumbfounded.
Should they give chase?
If they chose to pursue, the blessing from the sacred tree had a limited duration. If they chased too far, the enhanced effect would diminish significantly, or even vanish completely.
But if they did not pursue it, they could not vent their frustration!
"Chase!"
Chief Guard Serge made a decisive move, waving his hand to lead his subordinates in a swift pursuit of the retreating Licker horde, venting their wrath.
The Licker horde did not engage, nor did they concern themselves with their entangled comrades in the vines, simply running full speed away.
Serge and his subordinates from the Leaf tribe chased them for about two kilometers until they realized the blessing from the sacred tree was fading. With a wave of his hand, Serge signaled everyone to halt.
Several Leaf tribe guards still felt reluctant and quietly asked Serge, "Great Elder, are we not pursuing further?"
"Don't pursue a trapped enemy, let's return to base."
Despite the impressive appearance of their pursuit, relying on the vine entanglement ability of the sacred tree, they had only managed to kill over two hundred Lickers.
The results were disappointing, salvaging only a bit of their pride and releasing some pent-up frustration.
Serge knew well that this encounter had cost them a great deal of the sacred tree's dimensional strength, exacerbating the Leaf tribe's already dire situation.
After withdrawing with his subordinates back to their habitat, Serge immediately sought out the Great Elder to report on the incident.
"Great Elder, we have repelled the Licker horde. There was no sign of Fang Heng during the battle, but I believe this is undoubtedly linked to him."
"Hmm."
In the grand hall, Great Elder Senzo lightly stroked his chin, nodding gently. "You've done well."
"For the honor of the Leaf tribe, it's what I should do," Serge nodded, a hint of concern in his voice. "Also, Elder Rudyard has yet to return. Could he have encountered the Licker horde as well?"
"Hmm... Rudyard is quite capable. Even if he encounters the Lickers, escaping shouldn't be an issue," Senzo mused, twirling his beard thoughtfully. "It's Fang Heng who concerns me. His greed is unmatched, and his rapid growth raises suspicions. There must be secrets hidden within him."
"If we could harness that strength for our use, it would surely trouble the other tribes."
Having cooled down from his initial wrath, Senzo was now contemplating how to use Fang Heng to control the Lickers and strike against rival tribes.
As for Fang Heng...
For now, he would swallow his pride. Once the sacred tree's cultivation was complete, Fang Heng would meet a gruesome end!
But how to convince Fang Heng to cooperate with the Leaf tribe?
Perhaps offering more Leaves of Life?
Yet, Senzo was also curious about how Fang Heng managed to enhance the Lickers' strength so swiftly. Did he harness the strength of their tree spirit tribe somehow?
In Senzo's understanding, the power of the sacred tree was the utmost in the world, surpassing any other tier of strength.
"We'll plan our next move once Rudyard returns."
"Yes! I understand."
Serge cupped his fists and nodded before leaving.
Elder Senzo, known for his strategic acumen, had spoken, which meant there shouldn't be any major issues.
As they were discussing, a guard hurried into the grand hall, anxiously addressing Senzo, "Report! Great Elder!"
"What is it?"
"Great Elder! The Lickers!" The guard's forehead was drenched in sweat, urgently reporting, "The Licker horde outside has returned!"
Instantly, the mood in the hall shifted, and all eyes turned to Elder Senzo seated on the dais.
Senzo's expression darkened considerably.
Fang Heng!
No sense of shame!
They had barely driven back the Licker horde with the power of the sacred tree, and now, like a persistent nuisance, they returned?
Serge, who hadn't even settled down properly, swiftly stood up upon hearing this. "Great Elder, please allow me to go and assess the situation."
"Go ahead."
Senzo's eyes narrowed with determination.
Thinking about it carefully, they had never taken Fang Heng seriously in the past. However, after interacting with Fang Heng a few times, it seemed that they had always taken advantage of him. However, in the end, the situation of the Leaf tribe became worse and worse.
Perhaps the Leaf tribe had fallen to this state because of Fang Heng?
However, this time, Fang Heng had taken the initiative to look for him.
