Chapter 2244 Barren

“Elder, we’ve checked it, and it is indeed white frost stone. Its quality is better than any we’ve seen before.”

The main hall of the Temple of Incantation, after inspecting the ore, a Leaf tribe guard muttered to Rudyard’s ear, then respectfully stepped aside.

“Too little.”

Rudyard glanced at the two carts temporarily placed in the corner without a detailed examination, then shook his head. “Fang Heng, is this all you could obtain?”

“The Federation’s reserves of white frost ore are limited, but we can still manage to obtain some more. However, it will take some time to transport them from elsewhere.”

Fang Heng looked at Rudyard and continued, “The ore is still on its way. While we wait, I’d like to visit the dimensional world, and also, I’d like to see the sacred tree cultivated by the Leaf tribe.”

Rudyard instinctively felt a bit reluctant about Fang Heng seeing the sacred tree and the dimensional world, but he hesitated only for the sake of the white frost stone…

As he was pondering, a Leaf tribe member hurriedly approached and whispered a few words in Rudyard’s ear.

“Soul tribe?”

Rudyard frowned at the news, feeling somewhat puzzled as he said, “Understood, let’s go meet them.”

Seeing Rudyard’s change in expression, Fang Heng asked, “What’s going on?”

“It’s an internal matter within our tree spirit tribe.”

Rudyard waved his hand. “You wanted to visit the dimensional world, right? Next, we’ll open the teleportation passage to the dimensional world. You can come along and help. But don’t blame me for not warning you. It’s not a good place there. And remember, just observe with your eyes, don’t ask too many questions, and don’t meddle too much. Otherwise, no one can guarantee your safety.”

Rudyard nodded and glanced at another young tribe member beside him, gesturing, “Ovi, when you go to the dimensional world later, take him with you.”

The young Leaf tribe member beside him nodded respectfully.

“Yes, Elder, I understand.”

Rudyard nodded and left the hall with the two Tree Spirits.

Rudyard let out a soft hum and hurriedly left the hall with two tree spirit tribe members.

Why the rush?

Fang Heng watched Rudyard leave and wondered what trouble the tree spirit tribe had encountered this time.

He was quite tempted to go and see for himself.

Ovi approached with two Leaf tribe members and beckoned, “Human, please follow us. The teleportation is about to start.”

“Alright.”

Well, compared to anything else, Fang Heng was more interested in the dimensional world.

One step at a time, he would first check out the situation in the dimensional world.

Following Ovi, Fang Heng once again arrived at the central hall of the Temple of Incantation where he had been yesterday.

“Huh?”

Looking at the scene in the hall, Fang Heng couldn’t help but let out a light exclamation.

The hall was completely different from when he had left yesterday!

The walls and ceiling of the entire hall were covered with lush green vines.

It looked like the whole place had been completely transformed.

Several Leaf tribe members had already gathered in front of the magic array at the center of the hall.

Behind the magic array sat an elderly Leaf tribe elder.

A subtle natural aura emanated from him.

Ovi respectfully approached and bowed to the Leaf tribe elder. “Elder Farouk, I have been tasked with opening the dimensional world passage to collect dimensional energy.”

Fang Heng’s gaze lingered on Elder Farouk for a moment.

He hadn’t seen this elder when he left yesterday.

So, the Leaf tribe had sent two elders to guard the Temple of Incantation?

Farouk opened his eyes and glanced at Ovi and Fang Heng behind him, nodding. “I understand. Let us begin. I will protect your journey.”

“Thank you, Elder,” Ovi said respectfully as he stepped forward and received the sacrificial jar from Farouk’s hands.

Then, Ovi gestured for over a dozen Leaf tribe members behind him to enter the center of the magic array.

Fang Heng followed and stood inside the magic array.

As the Leaf tribe members outside the magic array chanted, the external teleportation magic array slowly activated.

Fang Heng noticed that Elder Farouk was also holding a green branch.

The branch emitted spatial strength fluctuations mixed with a natural aura.

Blue light gradually lit up, and a small teleportation channel appeared in the center of the magic array.

Spatial fluctuations!

“We’re going,”

Ovi said, carrying the sacrificial jar, and stepped into the teleportation passage, disappearing.

Fang Heng followed Ovi’s footsteps and entered the passage with him.

Soon, everything around him turned into a void.

When Fang Heng’s vision was restored, he realized he was standing on a barren hill.

[Hint: The player has entered an unknown world.]

[Hint: The player’s attributes are reduced by 6% due to the influence of the current world.]

[Hint: The player has crossed the world boundary, and a pursuit team dispatched by the holy realm will attempt to lock your position again in 9+15 (additional increase due to the holy weapon skill) hours.]

As expected!

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

The dimensional world was indeed a collection of game worlds as understood by the player!

Moreover, the World of Forests could even connect to the outside world!

Similarly, this outside world could be tracked by the Holy Court.

Fang Heng became alert, quickly scanning his surroundings.

Looking around, on the barren sandy ground, cracked lines resembled dried-up veins spreading into the distance.

Fang Heng’s gaze soon focused on a protruding rock slab on the right side of the teleportation magic array.

Dense magic array patterns could be seen on the surface of the rock slab.

Ovi’s target was the rock slab.

After seeing the rock slab, Fang Heng immediately walked up to it, conducted a brief inspection, and then nodded to the line of Leaf tribe members behind him.

The Leaf tribe members promptly followed suit, forming a circle around the rock slab.

Fang Heng joined them, standing beside the rock slab and carefully observing.

The rock slab had been around for a long time, with cracks covering its surface. However, it had recently undergone some repairs, which didn’t seem to affect the overall functionality of the magic array.

“Let’s get started,” Ovi said. He had brought a total of twenty-two Leaf tribe members into the dimensional world.

Six Leaf tribe members promptly positioned themselves at the six focal points of the magic array, while the rest stood guard around the perimeter of the rock slab.

Before commencing, Ovi took out a crystal from his hand and glanced at Fang Heng, saying, “Human, we’ll need your help in guarding the magic array. Remember, no matter what happens, do not let anything interfere with our operation of the magic array. Understand?”
