Chapter 2262 Spiritual Curse Prayer

Chapter 2262  Spiritual Curse Prayer

"I would stay behind and try to buy you some more time," Fang Heng patted Ovi's shoulder. "If all goes well, we'll meet at the other end of the passage."

"Alright."

Ovi looked at Fang Heng and reached out, handing over a rhombus-shaped special leaf.

"What's this?"

"The inheritance book of the Leaf tribe, the spiritual curse prayer," Ovi explained. "My father was once an honorable elder within the tribe, and I have been raised since childhood in the inheritance of nurturing the sacred tree. This portion of prayers is related to the inheritance of nurturing the sacred tree. Please help me safeguard it. If anything happens to me, be sure to pass it on to an elder of the Leaf Tribe."

Fang Heng's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you escorting it yourself?"

"No, I've already got the sapling of the sacred tree with me," Ovi's lips twitched with bitterness as he shook his head. "As you humans say, don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"Alright, leave it to me."

Fang Heng said, taking the rhombus-shaped leaf and examining it closely. He casually asked, "How does this thing work?"

"It's a kind of special written form, more of a ritual," Ovi explained. "It requires us, the Leaf Tribe, to activate it through our mental strength. Normal people can't decipher it."

"Oh, really?"

[Item-Spiritual curse prayer (rune leaf).]

Description: A special rune item, subject to a low-level seal effect.

Description: This item is special and will drop upon death.

[Hint: Detected a low-level seal on the rune. Currently, the player has expertise in high-tier alchemy and mid-tier sealing art. The player can attempt to decipher the rune with a 100% probability of success.]

Fang Heng nodded and glanced at the game hint.

"It seems to be a kind of seal. Do you mind if I give it a try?"

Without waiting for Ovi's response, Fang Heng attempted to infuse natural energy into the leaf.

The rune on the leaf emitted a faint glow, and the low-level basic seal inside was instantly undone by Fang Heng.

"Hum!"

A pale cyan light emitted from the leaf.

The light directly projected onto a nearby wall, revealing rows of recorded text on it.

"This..."

Ovi watched as Fang Heng effortlessly triggered the spiritual curse prayer, feeling somewhat speechless for a moment.

Well, he wasn't entirely surprised by Fang Heng's actions anymore.

Fang Heng casually put away the leaf.

The tree spirit Tribe's utilization of alchemy and sealing arts was still too rudimentary; breaking their seals was a piece of cake for Fang Heng.

To him, the methods of concealing information used by the tree spirit Tribe were also quite primitive.

"You go ahead. I'll take care of what's left here."

"Alright, be careful with everything!"

Fang Heng watched as Ovi and several Leaf tribe members escorted the sapling of the sacred tree into the underground passage. Then, he looked toward the entrance, which was already being piled up by zombies with debris.

With the tree spirit tribe's abilities, breaking through this layer of sandy barrier wouldn't be difficult.

So...

He decided to add a bit more difficulty for them.

Thinking so, Fang Heng immediately controlled the nearby Licker group to completely bury the entrance Ovi had entered.

While the zombie team was busy arranging, Fang Heng arrived at a smooth rock wall, once again taking out the Rune of Curse Prayer. He infused it with mental strength, projecting the contents of the prayer onto the wall.

A large number of zombie clones staggered over, gathering to read the graphical information projected on the wall.

Ordinary historical records, journals, magazines, and various miscellaneous books could all be read through zombie clones. However, reading through them wouldn't increase skill experience points, and a large amount of irregular and discontinuous content would be poured into the brain.

Reading a small amount was fine, but too much information made one's head buzz.

Too much chaotic information pouring in, most of it couldn't be remembered. Whenever it was mentioned later, one had to actively consume mental energy to retrieve the relevant content from the brain.

Moreover, this part of memory was difficult to retain deeply; often, it would be completely forgotten after a few hours.

But for books related to skill experience points, using zombie clones to read was undoubtedly the best choice!

Soon, game hints began to flash on the retina one after another.

[Hint: The player's zombie clones (in normal form) have completed partial reading. The player's understanding of the spiritual curse prayer increased by +2...]

Alright, let the zombie clones do their thing.

Fang Heng turned to look back at the entrance completely sealed by sand.

From the other side of the passage, the sound of excavation gradually echoed.

It seemed the tree spirit tribe had arrived outside.

Fang Heng squinted.

Well, it's good. Let's add a bit more intensity for them!

...

On the other side of the passage, which was sealed by a large amount of rubble, the three major clans of the tree spirit Tribe waited at the entrance for their members to clear the passage.

The remaining collapsed areas within the Temple of Incantation had been emptied and thoroughly inspected.

No discoveries were made.

Only this underground third basement area remained!

The missing sapling of the sacred tree must be here!

As the tribe members cast wood marsh spells, the sand and rubble blocking the passage slowly sank into the ground.

They had cleared a passage of more than ten meters in length.

But ahead, the passage was still congested with mud and sand.

Ordinary collapses wouldn't have accumulated such a long stretch of blockage.

Clearly, someone had intentionally caused it!

Suddenly, two tree spirit tribe members who were casting spells near the collapsed area had their pupils shrink abruptly.

What was that?!

They saw faint flickers of light ahead of the blocked passage.

Huh? Spatial fluctuations!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

In the next instant, Lickers burst out from the spatial fluctuations! They immediately pounced on the nearest tree spirit Tribe members!

"Be careful!!"

"Chi! Chi! Chi!!!"

Arrows wrapped in natural energy were shot forward, accurately hitting the Licker group that had attacked from the secondary space projection, pushing them back!

Lickers!

It was them again!

Seeing the Lickers, the tree spirit tribe immediately realized that humans were causing trouble behind their backs.

They immediately retaliated with their shooting skills, joining forces to intercept the Lickers' attacks.

It wasn't too bad.

With everyone working together, the Lickers couldn't launch effective attacks and were soon buried deep underground.

However, hundreds of Lickers continued to emerge from the secondary space projection, interrupting the tree spirit tribe's excavation progress.
