Chapter 2305 The Killing Effect

The tribesperson continued reporting with a lowered head, “It’s reported that they encountered an extremely large-scale group of Lickers.”

Senzo’s brow furrowed deeper.

Extremely large-scale?

How large could it be?

Meanwhile, outside the tree spirit tribe headquarters, two Leaf tribe guards stood watch atop a tall tree, scanning the distance.

Unlike before, they had received early notice of a large number of Licker creatures heading towards their camp. The guards had prepared in advance, standing ready in a strict formation.

As they looked into the distance, their expressions gradually hardened.

Those… those were…

In the distance, at the edge of their vision, tiny red dots gradually appeared.

The red quickly spread, extending into a continuous mass!

They were Lickers!

Upon closer inspection, within the forest, streams of red shadows darted swiftly through the primeval forest.

From a high vantage point, the densely packed Lickers resembled a crimson ocean!

Initial estimates indicated their numbers could reach tens of thousands!

And their target…

The Leaf tribe scouts hidden at the outer periphery of their habitat felt a slight twitch in their eyelids.

It was their Leaf tribe’s habitat!

“They’re coming towards the habitat! Sound the alarm! Notify the Great Elder immediately!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

As soon as the command was given, the tree spirit guards stationed in both visible and hidden posts began unleashing long-range attacks with natural arrows aimed at the approaching Licker swarm.

The ethereal green arrows formed a dense barrage in the air!

Empowered by Leaf tribe’s natural energy and archery skills, these arrows had a striking range far exceeding that of ordinary humans.

However, under Fang Heng’s increased attributes and boosted endurance, the Lickers’ HP was significantly bolstered!

Each arrow might knock a Licker far back, but after rolling a few times on the ground, they would quickly recover and resume their assault!

This was bad!

The Licker’s recovery ability had been strengthened again!

The Leaf tribe guards, sweating profusely on their foreheads, continued to release natural arrows in an attempt to slow down the advance of the Licker swarm.

But it was futile!

They were completely overwhelmed by this group of Lickers!

The already impressive self-recovery abilities of the Lickers had become even more terrifying!

Now, their only option was to buy time!

Behind the Licker swarm, Fang Heng stood far behind a large tree, observing quietly.

The vampires followed closely behind Fang Heng.

They were puzzled why Fang Heng hadn’t allowed them to join the battle.

With their aerial abilities, they could swiftly destroy each hidden outpost, causing greater casualties to the Leaf tribe and depleting their remaining strength.

“Not yet, let’s observe for now,” Fang Heng said, waving his hand.

This was his first proactive attack against the Leaf tribe, engaging them head-on.

He intended to probe their defenses for now.

Of course, if they found that the Leaf tribe were just a bunch of weaklings, he would not hesitate to completely expel them from the tree spirit tribe.

Boosted by their agility attribute bonus, the Lickers’ movement speed increased another notch, swiftly darting through the thickets.

However, the Leaf tribe, more familiar with the forest terrain, moved even faster than the Lickers in the woods, swiftly retreating while firing natural arrows in retaliation.

The Leaf tribe guards were filled with a terror beyond measure. They clearly felt their lives threatened by this horde of Lickers!

The Leaf tribe guards rapidly retreated until they reached the Leaf tribe’s habitat.

“Quick! Activate the barrier, don’t let them come through!”

Outside the habitat, an invisible screen of light was activated.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

Following behind, the group of Lickers decelerated abruptly and crashed into the light screen, then began swinging their claws in attack.

Instantly, the attacked barrier shimmered with faint green light.

The Leaf tribe guards crouched behind the barrier, continuously releasing natural arrows, hoping to eliminate the Lickers’ living force.

Despite the limited effect, it seemed to be the only thing they could do for now.

Huh?

What…?

After releasing several waves of natural arrows, the Leaf tribe guards were astonished to find that after the Licker group was blocked by the barrier, they quickly condensed into flesh cocoons.

The flesh cocoons expanded rapidly and burst open.

Towering figures stepped out from each flesh cocoon.

They were fusion Tyrant forms!

The fusion Tyrant forms broke out of the flesh cocoons and raised their massive fists, slamming them down toward the light screen ahead.

“Bang!!!”

The entire light screen trembled slightly under the impact.

The strength-type fusion Tyrant forms were particularly adept at demolition!

Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with dull thuds, one after another.

The tree spirit tribe guards were even more alarmed at the sight.

How long could the protective light screen hold?

What would they do if it was breached?

At least on the surface, they had been attacking the Licker swarm with natural arrows for half a day, yet the number of Lickers showed no signs of diminishing.

Soon, the elders of the Leaf tribe arrived one after another, joining the front lines.

Many of the Leaf tribe elders were seeing Lickers for the first time.

They were astonished by the formidable vitality of the Lickers, which seemed almost terrifying.

Considering that natural arrows were quite powerful, even they had to employ defensive spells to resist.

How could Lickers rely solely on their physical bodies to withstand such attacks?

“Seal them away!”

Serge, the experienced guardian elder responsible for protecting the Leaf tribe’s habitat, immediately identified the weakness of the Licker swarm. He swiftly gathered imprints in front of him with both hands.

“Quagmire!!”

Whoosh!!

Under the combined spellcasting of Serge and several elders, the terrain outside the barrier quickly churned, forming a rapidly sinking quagmire.

The movement speed of the Lickers and fusion Tyrant forms was immediately restricted.

Then, tendrils of roots shot up from the ground at lightning speed!

Vines swiftly entangled the feet of the Lickers and fusion Tyrant forms, dragging them down into the earth one by one to seal them away!

Unlike before, the tree spirit tribe’s foolproof technique, ‘Tree Burial,’ encountered trouble today.

Even though the vines ensnared the feet of the fusion Tyrant forms and Lickers, they faced fierce resistance from the zombie creatures!

Relying on enhanced strength attributes, the fusion Tyrant forms forcefully tore apart the vines entwined around their feet.

Meanwhile, the Licker swarm struggled desperately, aided by their comrades, attempting to free themselves from the vine restraints.

Far away, Fang Heng concentrated deeply.

The increase in basic attributes provided a comprehensive boost in strength.

Enhancements to strength and agility made it easier for the Licker swarm and fusion Tyrant forms to break free from the entangling vines.

Increased mental strength allowed him to control the Lickers more adeptly.

Previously, it was difficult to coordinate mutual assistance among Licker companions. He could only effectively control around a dozen individuals at once before mental strain became overwhelming.

Now, however, he could effortlessly assign tasks to the entire Licker swarm.

It was quite satisfying, akin to upgrading from a single-core to a quad-core processor.
