Chapter 3013: Invasion

"Pfft! Pfft!"

In the next moment, two elves simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted after hitting the ground.

Fang Heng frowned.

It was a mental conflict.

Someone had implanted a mental suggestion in their minds beforehand, and the suggestion was extremely restrictive. Under the clash of these two forces, it was likely that these two elves would suffer mental disorders after waking up.

"Elves..."

Fang Heng murmured to himself and tried to walk over to the alchemy magic array nearby to observe it closely.

It was a small-scale teleportation alchemy magic array.

Its effect was to teleport certain things back to a target location.

Fang Heng then looked at the bottles and jars beside the alchemy magic array.

The jars were filled with some plants.

He had heard that Cleriway liked cultivating strange plants at home.

Did the elves need these plants?

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang? Are you alright?"

Urgent voices came through the earpiece from outside.

"Yeah, I’m fine." Fang Heng picked up the earpiece and said, "The problem has been solved, you can come in now."

Outside, Lu Yunhao and the emergency team heard a few bangs through the earpiece, then silence. Hesitating about whether to take action, they immediately signaled the team to break into the room to check after receiving Fang Heng’s feedback.

Then, the crisis management team entered the villa and saw two unconscious elves inside the room, along with a pile of bloodied, shattered flesh.

"Mr. Fang, these two..."

"They fainted, the other one is dead."

Lu Yunhao cautiously walked over to Fang Heng, who was squatting beside the inspection magic array in the central hall, and quietly asked, "Can we take these two for questioning?"

"Yeah, take them away. They’re not players, both are elves and not weak. Be careful."

"Understood."

Lu Yunhao ordered his subordinates to take the elves away, then looked at the alchemy magic array in front of Fang Heng with some bitterness and asked, "Mr. Fang, what’s going on here?"

"I came here to investigate a missing half-elf friend of mine. This villa is her residence," Fang Heng explained. "This alchemy magic array is a special teleportation transfer magic array of the elves. When we arrived, the elves had already teleported away some of the plants in the jars."

"Plants?"

Lu Yunhao was curious too and squatted down to inspect the jars, "Mr. Fang, can we take these plants back for examination?"

Fang Heng was about to answer, but suddenly noticed that one of the jars contained branches that belonged to Abe Akaya’s specimen.

Cleriway had indeed mentioned that she was trying to fuse Abe Akaya with other alien plants to help Abe Akaya evolve further.

Lu Yunhao quietly said, "Mr. Fang? Mr. Fang?"

"Yeah, take them all back for examination. Inform me immediately if there’s any news."

"Certainly, thank you for your support!"

...

Of the three elves, two went insane and one died, and the clues temporarily stopped.

It was estimated that the Federation would not be able to find any useful leads either.

Based on the current leads, Cleriway most likely had gone to the elves’ world.

Helplessly, blindly searching everywhere was no solution, so Fang Heng could only try to inquire everywhere about ways to enter the elves’ world.

Back in the World of Forests, Fang Heng calmed his mind and continued cultivation.

He switched his mood and shifted to cultivating elemental science.

Bits of natural energy gathered and condensed, flowing into Fang Heng’s body with Abe Akaya’s assistance in absorption.

As the natural energy circulated inside, it was converted through the bloodline ability into Qi.

The Qi was then converted again into pure elemental power.

Fang Heng’s mindset was peaceful as he adjusted his breathing.

As cultivation started, lines of game hints gradually appeared.

[Hint: The player gained 12,192 master-level elemental science experience points...]

[Hint: The player’s master-level elemental science upgraded to Level 21.]

Hint: The player gained 12,192 master-level elemental science experience points...]

After an unknown period, suddenly, a line of dark red warning game hints appeared.

Hint: The player gained 12,192 master-level elemental science experience points...]

[Hint: Abe Akaya’s energy points are being absorbed.]

[Warning: Under the influence of an unknown force, Abe Akaya’s experience points are decreasing.]

Huh?

What was happening?

Fang Heng suddenly snapped out of cultivation after seeing the game hint.

Energy absorption?

What was going on?

Carefully checking, Abe Akaya’s energy points were slowly decreasing at an extremely slow rate.

"Abe Akaya! What’s going on?"

Abe Akaya immediately communicated through a mental link.

Just now, Abe Akaya had been affected by an invisible force that was slowly extracting the energy within his body.

This force was very special and was a one-sided predatory extraction. Abe Akaya could only try his best to resist, slowing the energy extraction speed considerably.

The missing Cleriway... the elves... Abe Akaya...

Fang Heng frowned slightly.

They were all connected.

The elves’ target was very likely Abe Akaya.

Fang Heng asked, "Is there any way to determine the source of this force?"

"None..."

After receiving Abe Akaya’s negative reply, Fang Heng frowned even deeper.

Abe Akaya’s energy was enormous. At this slow depletion rate, it didn’t affect Abe Akaya much.

But if it continued, the extractor’s speed might increase.

The problem needed to be solved quickly.

While thinking, the teleportation magic array of Abe Akaya slowly activated.

Arkley brought Lu Yunhao out of the magic array.

"Your Majesty, this guy says he wants to see you."

Lu Yunhao, dizzy after multiple teleportation passages, saw Fang Heng and immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Fang, we have found some information related to the elves and came at once to communicate with you."

"Any clues about the elves’ world coordinates?"

"Sorry, none found." Lu Yunhao shook his head and continued, "This information was confirmed from the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe. The elves have appeared in the Spawn Alliance’s military corps. They rarely appear as fleets but mostly join various fleets as one to three mercenaries."

"The elves’ strength ranks among the top of the various races, so they are favored by fleets. But the elves are always secretive and have never revealed their world coordinates."

"Also, we got some other information. While carrying out missions, the elves have been inquiring about the Tree of Life or the Genesis Tree."

Fang Heng stroked his chin.

"The Tree of Life..."

He remembered.

Cleriway had once called Abe Akaya that as well.

"Mr. Fang, the two elves we brought back have completely lost their consciousness; we can’t get more information from them. This is all we currently have. We will continue to gather intelligence and inform you immediately if there’s news."

"Good."

Fang Heng nodded and signaled Arkley to lead Lu Yunhao away.
