Chapter 2355 Hostile
"Whoosh!!!"
The demonic seed of Pride, shrouded in thick black fog, dashed forward and delivered a booming punch!
"Chi!! Chi chi chi!!"
Tam Sangga's pupils abruptly contracted.
Before the demonic seed's punch could land, a fist wind formed by the surrounding black fog collided preemptively with the natural energy shield condensing around him!
The entire shield emitted a boiling sizzling sound!
In an instant, the shield's strength was dissolved by seven or eight by the black fog.
"Bang!!"
Tam Sangga was blasted backward by the demonic seed of Pride following closely behind. His heart raced with fear.
The demonic seed's strength was terrifying. In just five or six minutes of pursuit, its power had increased once again!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The demonic seed swiftly darted through the air, momentarily teleporting in midair, appearing in front of Tam Sangga.
"Bang!"
The second punch landed.
Tam Sangga was sent flying once again, and his armor instantly shattered!
In the next moment, the black fog around them surged toward Tam Sangga! It quickly drilled into his body and nibbled away at what little strength he had left.
Despair appeared in Tam Sangga's eyes.
Was he going to die here today?
He could feel that his body was rapidly being corroded, and the scene in front of him gradually became chaotic.
Bang!
Tam Sangga could no longer maintain his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
The pollution within him had completely spiraled out of control, attacking his sea of consciousness. He couldn't even muster the strength to prop himself back up.
His end was near!
Tam Sangga couldn't believe he would meet his demise in this manner.
He was unwilling to accept it!
Suddenly, Tam Sangar saw a figure appear in front of him. At the same time, he heard a familiar voice.
"Pride, hold your hand for a moment. How about we have a chat? I assure you, I am very sincere."
Tam Sangga, bewildered, couldn't quite believe his eyes.
It was Fang Heng!
Tam Sangga's heart was filled with uncertainty, yet at this moment, a glimmer of hope for survival ignited within him.
The demonic seed of Pride, seeing Fang Heng, looked at him coldly and asked, "What's this? Are you trying to persuade me to spare his life?"
"Not at all. I simply want to handle him myself."
Chi!
As he spoke, the blood-red long sword behind Fang Heng's back exploded, forming an extremely fine short blade.
The dagger flashed through the air.
A look of disbelief appeared in Tam Sangga's eyes. A deep bloody wound appeared on his throat, and his eyes lost their luster.
[Hint: The player has killed the Great Elder of the Wood tribe, Tam Sangga. The player has obtained 2,500,000 Tree Spirit Reputation Points. The player's hatred with the Wood tribe has decreased to the lowest. The player's affinity with some characters has changed.]
[Hint: The player has dealt a heavy blow to the tree spirit tribe-Wood tribe. Current tree spirit tribe-Wood tribe's bloodline prosperity: 40.2%. When the bloodline prosperity is less than 10%, the bloodline prosperity will gradually decrease. When the bloodline prosperity is less than 3%, the Wood tribe will be declared completely extinct (Bloodline prosperity is related to the strength of the tribe and the number of bloodline members).]
The last hit was successful!
Fang Heng waved his hand towards the fallen corpse of Tam Sangga, collecting the rainbow crystal that emerged upon Tam Sangga's death into his palm.
[Hint: The player has obtained rainbow crystal*18.]
There was another box?
It was the Nature's Heart Crystal!
The blood scattered around swiftly enveloped the box.
[Hint: The player receives 1 wooden box containing Nature's Heart.]
The harvest was good, not in vain for all the hard work put into chasing it for so long.
Fang Heng packed away the box and looked up again at the demonic seed of Pride. He waved towards it, saying, "Thank you, brother, you've done me a great favor."
The demonic seed of Pride appeared extremely emaciated, shrouded in a layer of black fog that obscured its true face.
"Fang Heng, you seem quite arrogant," Pride examined Fang Heng and said in a deep voice, "Considering you did help me this time, I won't hold it against you. But if you dare interfere in my affairs again, think carefully about the consequences."
With this warning, the demonic seed of Pride left quickly, paying no further attention to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng watched the figure depart, his brow furrowed.
How troublesome!
Unfortunately, he encountered Pride, the most difficult of the seven demonic seeds to communicate with.
Had it been any other demonic seed, Fang Heng was confident he could persuade them to cooperate in dealing with Jealousy.
Oh well, while he couldn't convince Pride to cooperate, there were always ways to manipulate such straightforward beings.
First, he would check on Tippy's condition.
Fang Heng retraced his steps to find Tippy, who was injured and had fallen into unconsciousness.
...
Tippy felt as if she had just had a very long dream.
She was walking down a dark passageway.
When she was about to reach the end, Fang Heng pulled her away.
Suddenly, Tippy woke up and immediately grabbed the scepter in her hand, looking at the back of a figure in front of her.
With a whoosh, Tippy abruptly awakened, grasping the scepter in her hand and peering at the figure before her.
"Fang Heng?"
Tippy froze, then immediately looked down at her own body.
Not dead?!
It couldn't be!
She had clearly been contaminated, her sea of consciousness invaded by pollution.
How was it possible that she wasn't dead?
"It seems you're awake."
Fang Heng was examining the game hint when he heard someone call his name from behind. He slowly turned his head to see Tippy staring at him in astonishment.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"What about the pollution inside me?"
"Don't worry, it's been cleared."
Those few words sounded almost unbelievable to Tippy.
During the holy war of the tree spirit tribe, countless had died from pollution. Once the sea of consciousness was contaminated, survival was impossible.
She had already resigned herself to death.
"I used a trick or two, as you've seen."
"How did you...?" Tippy paused and then asked, "How did you manage to do it?"
"I used a trick or two, as you've seen."
Fang Heng shrugged and spread his hands.
The demonic seed of Pride was very powerful, but it was far from reaching the level of the demonic seed of Jealousy.
After pollution entered the body, some continued to damage the physical form while the rest gradually spread to the sea of consciousness. That's why it needed to be dealt with separately.
To combat the pollution attacking her sea of consciousness, he utilized the inherent repulsion between demonic seeds to directly extract it and hand it over to the demonic seed of Jealousy. Dealing with the pollution that had entered her body became much more manageable afterward.
By repeatedly using the sacred study skill to disperse it back and forth a dozen times or so, he managed to cleanse it thoroughly.
Sitting upright, Tippy brought her hands together before her, forming an imprint and focusing on her condition.
Moments later, she slowly opened her eyes, her furrowed brow gradually smoothing out. She said, "Thank you,"
"What about the demonic seed? How is he now?"
Tippy looked at Fang Heng with a hint of urgency.
Fang Heng shook his head and said, "The situation took an unexpected turn. I intended to persuade the demonic seed to cooperate with me, but unfortunately, I was interrupted by three Great Elders of your tree spirit tribe. The arrogant demonic seed mistook me for being allied with them. You know, I almost came under attack from them too, and barely managed to escape."
