Chapter 2300 Pursuit
“Keep going!”

The blood-colored bombs continued to rain down relentlessly!

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

High in the sky, a continuous and intense barrage pounded the area!

The Leaf tribe had only sent a small team of a dozen or so ordinary members, completely unprepared for the onslaught of the vampire’s blood explosion bombs. They were momentarily stunned, only managing to open a protective shield to withstand the attacks of the blood explosion bombs.

In just a short moment, their natural energy was depleted, leaving the exposed Leaf tribe members unable to find cover to evade the blood explosion bombs’ onslaught!

Compared to their long-range attack capabilities, the Leaf tribe’s defense was exceedingly low, unable to withstand the damage from several explosions.

Fang Heng began to receive updates on his retinal display.

[Hint: The player has killed a normal Leaf tribe member. The player has obtained 110 tree spirit reputation points…]

[Hint: The player has killed a normal Leaf tribe member. The player has obtained 90 tree spirit reputation points…]

After continuous booming for five minutes, Fang Heng signaled for everyone to stop. The vampires landed one by one.

Fang Heng scanned the surroundings, releasing his perception to sense any remaining presence.

The small team of Leaf tribe members, numbering a dozen or so, had all been dealt with.

It was an easy victory.

Fang Heng said, “The Federation’s people will be here soon. Let’s wait for them.”

“Yes.”

…

Ten minutes later, Shi Yanwu arrived with the first batch of federal teams.

Looking at the cratered mining area and Fang Heng’s group waiting there, the federal team members exchanged glances.

Good heavens. Was it really this bad?

What kind of fierce battle just took place here?

Behind Shi Yanwu, the psychic transformers caught sight of the several Princes of the vampires behind Fang Heng, causing them to visibly stiffen.

Each of them had inherited the lineage of the Princes of the vampires, and upon seeing them, they instinctively bowed their heads in reverence due to their innate bloodline suppression.

“Fang Heng, apologies for our delay.”

“No problem, we arrived early. Any updates from the Leaf tribe?”

“We haven’t found anything unusual yet. They might not be aware that the Leaf tribe sent to the mining area has encountered trouble.” Shi Yanwu nodded. “Our people will be arriving gradually within the next half hour, Mr. Fang Heng. Should we continue to lay low nearby?”

Fang Heng didn’t make an immediate decision. Instead, he asked, “Do you have a map of the surrounding area?”

“Yes, we do.” Shi Yanwu took the map from a soldier and displayed it in front of Fang Heng.

The entire layout of the Leaf tribe was centered around the periphery of the primeval forest, slowly infiltrating toward the Federation’s domain.

Fang Heng noticed something and pointed to a spot on the map. “Is this the Temple of Incantation?”

“Yes, this location confirms it as the Temple of Incantation occupied by the Leaf tribe. There have been signs of Leaf tribe activity inside the temple. We’ve conducted several perimeter checks recently, and strangely, the defensive strength there has slightly weakened in recent times.”

Weakened?

Initially puzzled, Fang Heng quickly guessed the reason.

With the Leaf tribe losing the vessel of sacrifice, the efficiency of dimensional energy absorption had significantly increased. Consequently, they now controlled the Temple of Incantation more firmly.

Hence, they reduced their military presence.

It was even possible that the temple lacked elder-level Leaf tribe guardians.

If that was the case…

They should launch a direct assault!

Take over the Temple of Incantation and catch them off guard!

“Alright.”

Fang Heng’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he nodded, “Get ready. We’ll start the breakthrough from the Temple of Incantation. We’ll move ahead first, and you can join us directly at the temple later.”

“Understood!”

Fang Heng then gathered the vampires once more. Transforming into bat forms, they soared into the sky, swiftly heading towards the Leaf tribe’s Temple of Incantation.

…

The vampires swiftly flew for an hour in their bat forms, nearing the periphery of the temple. As they approached, they landed gracefully in the forest and resumed their human forms.

“I sense them!” Fang Heng exclaimed.

With his enhanced basic perception attributes, Fang Heng could now detect the hidden tree spirit tribe scouts lurking in the bushes.

“Attack!”

Head-on!

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The dense magic array around Fang Heng activated rapidly. Red shadows darted out from the magic array, charging straight ahead!

Lickers!

The Lickers also inherited some of Fang Heng’s attributes. With Fang Heng’s attributes significantly enhanced, the Lickers experienced a proportional increase in their attributes!

This was immediately evident in the Lickers’ greatly enhanced speed as they moved in a group!

“Not good! They’re Lickers!”

The Leaf tribe guards stationed outside spotted the red shadows emerging from a distance. Reacting swiftly, they conjured nature arrows and launched them at the approaching Lickers.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

The elite nature arrows precisely struck the hearts of the leaping Lickers, sending them flying back forcefully!

However, more Lickers surged forth through the gaps in the arrows, swiftly closing the distance with the Leaf tribe guards!

Huh?

Some of the Leaf tribe guards had encountered Lickers before and noticed something different this time.

The Lickers were faster than ever before!

The group of Lickers moved with increased agility!

In the past, a single volley of nature arrows could at least hit three Lickers in succession. But now, these agile Lickers dodged the arrows with lightning-fast reflexes after the initial hit.

This was bad!

The guards quickly realized that they were being rapidly surrounded by the group of Lickers!

Most of the Leaf tribe excelled in long-range attacks, and being engaged at close quarters would pose significant trouble!

“Exactly, exactly,” Fang Heng observed from behind, nodding inwardly.

In addition to their agility boost, under the influence of increased strength, the damage Lickers could inflict had also significantly increased!

Though individually they couldn’t match the Leaf tribe, in superior numbers, they could gain a considerable advantage!

“Fall back!”

The Leaf tribe guards dared not linger any longer. They continuously shot arrows to push back the front-line Lickers and swiftly retreated backward until they reached the entrance of the temple.

Nearly done.

The test of the Lickers’ strength was complete.

Fang Heng released his perception again, carefully searching, confirming that there were no elder-level Leaf tribe members inside the Temple of Incantation.

Unfortunately.

Fang Heng nodded to the accompanying Princes and Marquises of the vampires.

“Let’s go, all together, let’s resolve this quickly.”

“Yes, sir!”

The vampires immediately advanced and joined the forefront of the battle!

“Watch out!!!”

“What is that!?”

The Leaf tribe guards gathered at the entrance of the Temple of Incantation. Initially struggling against the overwhelming numbers of Lickers, they were suddenly astonished to see vampires emerging from the high sky.

They had never encountered vampires before, and it was their first time facing enemies who wielded abilities related to blood. They were momentarily unable to adapt.

Instantly, the Leaf tribe fell into disarray.
