“I just want to talk to Elder Senzo,” Fang Heng said. “Forgive me for being direct, but this is crucial. I’m afraid you don’t have the authority to know the full details.”
“What did you say?” Vannes was immediately angered by Fang Heng’s words, glaring at him for a moment before responding, “Human, regardless of your reasons, entering the territory of the tree spirit race without permission is suicidal!”
Fang Heng looked coldly at Vannes and questioned, “Is it? Vannes, can you really speak for the entire tree spirit race?”
Vannes clenched his fists.
Admit it or not, he was somewhat apprehensive about directly confronting Fang Heng. He had witnessed Fang Heng single-handedly facing the entire Federation’s mechanical operations department before.
What Vannes feared most was that if there were any significant disturbances here, the tree spirit race’s secret habitat might be detected by the spiritual domain blockade network, which would spell disaster for them.
Reminding himself not to act impulsively, Vannes took a deep breath and continued, “Elder Senzo is currently away on business. We’ll deal with you after he returns! If you resist, we’ll use force!”
“Yes!” The tree spirit members immediately surrounded Fang Heng.
After a quick thought, Fang Heng showed no intention of resisting. He simply looked at Vannes and said, “Vannes, I suggest you inform Great Elder Senzo as soon as possible. You don’t have much time.”
Vannes disdainfully snorted, “Hmph! You don’t need to worry about that!”
As they spoke, two tree spirit members approached Fang Heng from both sides. Thin vines quickly wrapped around Fang Heng’s wrists, securing them tightly behind his back.
“Let’s go!”
Under the vigilant escort of the tree spirit members, Fang Heng was led into the territory of the tree spirit race.
The architecture of the tree spirit race was completely different from that of humans, resembling treehouse styles.
Fang Heng was led through the periphery of the tree spirit’s daily living area until they reached a clearing in the back.
Looking up, Fang Heng saw cages made of special vines hanging under a huge tree.
These vine cages were used to imprison prisoners, and several prisoners were currently held captive inside.
All of them were tree spirits.
The prisoners looked at Fang Heng with puzzled eyes.
A human!?
Being imprisoned in the tree spirit race’s jail was indeed strange.
“Great Elder Senzo is busy outside. You’ll wait here for now,” Vannes said, signaling to the two tree spirit members beside him.
The vine-constructed prison descended from the sky, its gate opening. The two tree spirit members pushed Fang Heng inside before the gate closed again, and the prison was lifted back into the air.
Through the vines, Fang Heng looked down at Vannes.
“You don’t have much time left, only five hours.”
“Hmph,” Vannes uttered a disdainful snort and said, “Rest assured, I will report to Great Elder Senzo as soon as he returns. You just wait patiently during this time!”
Fang Heng shook his head and said no more.
He just felt that his choice was correct.
Cooperating with the tree spirits was indeed asking for trouble.
Vannes watched as Fang Heng was temporarily imprisoned in the vine prison. He nodded and whispered to the guard beside him, “This human is not ordinary. You need to keep a close eye on him.”
“Yes, Elder Vannes. Do we need to inform Great Elder Senzo to come back immediately?”
“There’s no need for that. Great Elder Senzo has other more important matters to deal with. I’ll report to him when he’s done.”
“Understood!”
“Humph!”
Vannes glanced at Fang Heng coldly and left the prison.
Let him wait here for a few more days!
Fang Heng watched as Vannes and the others left, then curiously looked at the vine prison’s internal structure.
Interesting.
The vine prison could continuously release a special natural energy, similar to parasitic spores, slowly absorbing the mental strength of the trapped.
However, the absorption speed was a bit too slow, unable to match Fang Heng’s mental strength recovery speed.
In addition, the vines had fine thorns on them.
They were so tiny that they were barely visible to the naked eye, causing no pain when piercing the skin. However, once the thorns penetrated the skin, they would release a paralyzing toxin, causing fatigue and drowsiness.
“A pretty decent prison,” Fang Heng remarked, quite satisfied.
The tree spirit’s prison had given him a lot of inspiration. He pondered about creating a new, improved version of the prison for use in the Zombie Apocalypse prison in the future.
However, at the moment, this thing could still be used against ordinary prisoners.
Still want to deal with him?
That might be underestimating him a bit.
After observing for a while and confirming his safety, Fang Heng simply found a more comfortable position and sat down.
He had already considered various situations he might encounter in the tree spirit race.
He was prepared.
In his premonition, being imprisoned in the dungeon was already considered a relatively good treatment.
Just wait.
Having had contact with the tree spirit race before, Fang Heng knew that without causing them any trouble, they wouldn’t easily bow their heads and cooperate.
Great Elder Senzo had indeed gone out to meet the elders of the Root tribe today.
The main purpose was to discuss their previous collaboration.
From the results, it was clear that the Leaf tribe’s leadership in the collaboration had undoubtedly harmed the other three major tribes. This time, it was more about making amends.
Vannes also wanted to let Fang Heng stew for a while longer, so he didn’t rush to contact Elder Senzo when he returned.
Soon, Vannes threw this matter to the back of his mind.
However, five hours later, two tree spirits rushed to the Council of Elders to report.
“Several elders, a large number of Federation spatial transmission ripples have been detected in the periphery of our base! The Federation’s people are coming!”
What?
In the Elders Council, several tree spirit patriarchs couldn’t sit still upon hearing this, immediately standing up with serious expressions.
Spatial transmission ripples?!
What’s going on?
The Federation had found their headquarters?
So sudden?
An elder said in a deep voice, “Don’t panic yet. It might be a Federation inspection. Quick! Activate the hidden spell, check the status of the simulated barrier, and prepare for a counterattack! The entire clan is on high alert.” “Understood!”
The tree spirit members swiftly followed the instructions and hurriedly went to arrange everything.
Meanwhile, outside the simulated barrier set up by the Leaf tribe.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…!”
Dotted points of transition light appeared continuously in the air.
The Federation’s war mechanical device appeared in the surrounding area through transition.
As if realizing that there was no trace of Fang Heng in the area in front of it, the mechanical device was stunned for a few seconds. Then, it turned on the thermal imaging device and patrolled around, trying to find traces of Fang Heng in the forest area..
