Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2276 Ripple

Chapter 2276  Ripple

Fang Heng was unaware that after the sacred tree Abe Akaya regained its undefeated status, it erupted in an extremely powerful ripple of strength in a brief moment. This ripple caused various clans of the tree spirits to mistake it for the ripple of the sacred tree's seed, completely drawing them towards it.

After the initial few seconds of energy eruption, Abe Akaya quickly returned to calm, restraining itself from growing within the island and a small surrounding area.

The teleportation passage established by the Wood tribe was closest to the island domain. Two hours later, two Wood tribe elders arrived with a group of Leaf tribe guards.

Upon entering the island domain and seeing the lush red forest before them, the group furrowed their brows.

It was strange.

Currently, the aura ripple of the sacred tree's seed had dissipated by ninety percent. However, upon careful perception, they could still faintly sense the aura of the sacred tree's seed emanating from the island.

It was unmistakable.

The island once housed the sacred tree's seed.

As for its current presence, it couldn't be guaranteed.

But what exactly was going on?

How could the seed of the sacred tree appear here?

From a distance, the island seemed somewhat extraordinary.

The trees on the island faintly revealed a blood-red hue.

Elder Klonor of the Wood tribe waved his hand, commanding, "Search thoroughly and evacuate immediately upon finding the seed of the sacred tree."

"Yes!"

The Wood tribe guards responded, about to disperse into the island when a stern shout interrupted them.

"Wait!"

As the Wood tribe was about to enter the island, Vannes arrived with his subordinates.

Meeting their enemies reignited the anger within Vannes.

"What are you trying to do? The sapling of the sacred tree is not something your Wood tribe can meddle with at will."

Upon seeing Vannes, the Wood tribe elder snorted and retorted, "Humph, how ridiculous! According to you, is the sapling of the sacred tree belonging to your Leaf tribe then? Who gave you the right?"

"Hahaha, respect is never given by others, it's earned! Enough talk, we didn't finish our last fight properly, let's settle it this time, no stopping until one side is down for good!"

Vannes was eager for a fight.

Due to Fang Heng's significant breakthrough in magic array research before their arrival, Great Elder Senzo had repeatedly instructed them not to engage unless there was a significant change affecting the situation.

But Vannes couldn't care less.

If the opponent was from the Wood tribe, he'd fight first and ask questions later.

Klonor felt a headache coming on at the thought of a fight.

The Leaf tribe's strength was inherently superior to everyone else's.

Vannes was considered one of the top elders in terms of personal strength.

"Humph, what? Didn't your Great Elder Senzo promise not to fight within the tribe anymore? You were present at the time. Now you're just disregarding his words?"

"Heh heh," Vannes sneered, "We're of the same tribe? Are you worthy?"

As they conversed, the Soul tribe and Root tribe arrived one after another, seeing the Wood tribe and Leaf tribe already in a standoff. Understanding what was happening, they gathered around.

Once again, the four major tribes took their positions in the four corners.

The situation hadn't been clarified yet, but each of the four major tribes had their own agendas.

Elder Tippy of the Soul tribe glanced at the island domain.

The island, neither too large nor too small, would require careful searching, taking up almost half a day.

Tippy said, "Why don't we listen to me for a moment? We've all come here sensing the aura of the sacred tree's seed. Instead of wasting time here, why not agree on a fair distribution plan?"

Vannes sneered, "Fair? There's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world."

"You with your temper, why not hear out Elder Tippy's proposal first?"

People felt wary of Tippy.

After all, last time, Tippy brought along remnants of the sacred tree. He probably carried them this time too. If they ended up fighting, they would be at a disadvantage.

Tippy surveyed the group, "In my opinion, each tribe will select ten members below the rank of elder to explore the island in batches. Whichever tribe manages to find the sacred tree's seed and brings it back here will have succeeded based on their abilities. While we're all present, no one is allowed to continue fighting. What do you think?"

Tippy aimed to limit the battle losses and prevent the situation from escalating like last time, causing more damage to the tree spirit tribe. After all, fighting among ordinary tribe members was one thing, but if the elders got involved, it would be serious.

The elders of the tribes looked at each other and nodded, agreeing to the plan.

Even giving face to the remnants of the sacred tree.

After all, they didn't want significant casualties.

Klonor nodded first, "Elder Tippy's proposal is good. We, the Wood tribe, agree. What about the rest of you?"

Miles glanced at Tippy.

They didn't know if Tippy brought along remnants of the sacred tree this time.

They wouldn't have the upper hand if they resorted to force.

If they followed Tippy's proposal, the Leaf tribe also had a chance to obtain the essence of the sacred tree.

"The Leaf tribe has no objections."

"Very well, let's begin then."

Each tribe immediately selected ten members and paired them up to enter the forest of the island in batches.

Meanwhile, beneath the island's surface...

Cleriway and her team, through hundreds of concealed cameras set up in hidden locations, were able to clearly capture the situation outside.

"They've arrived."

Mo Jiawei said, "Currently, all research personnel has evacuated in advance through the transition system, taking all research data with them. Now, only the three of us remain on the island."

"It's strange. It seems that several elders of the tree spirit tribe haven't entered."

"If it's just ordinary tree spirit tribe members, I can find a way to delay them for a while." Gu Qingzhu glanced at the screen and asked, "What about Fang Heng? Any updates from his side?"

"Not yet. I reckon the tree spirit tribe followed Abe Akaya's aura here. There's no need to stay here. Shall we just make a run for it?"

"Okay."

Cleriway nodded lightly, sensing Abe Akaya's emotions. "Abe Akaya seems to be quite excited since recovering his strength. I think we should stay a bit longer and see. If things go south, I'll immediately reverse summon Abe Akaya for evacuation."

"Alright, that works."

Mo Jiawei nodded.

They would continue waiting for a while.

With Gu Qingzhu and Abe Akaya, they could hold out for the time being.

Who knows, maybe there would be updates from Fang Heng's side after some delay?

After all, setting up the magic array for Abe Akaya was quite troublesome, going back and forth.

As they discussed, Mo Jiawei noticed something and pointed to one of the surveillance monitors, "Hey, look at this!"
