Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game - Chapter 2360: Information
Fang Heng quickly scanned through the game hints and couldn’t help but feel intrigued.
Wow, the Nightfall Stone was really used to deal with demonic seeds!
And it cost 10,000 King of Gods’ points every time it’s stored in the backpack.
That’s outright robbery!
Of course, this also indirectly indicated the item’s value.
Fang Heng placed the Nightfall Stone back into the wooden box, feeling even more curious.
So, how did the Tree Spirit Tribe manage to create the Nightfall Stone?
Fang Heng looked at the remaining two boxes on the altar.
Nature’s Heart Crystal!
Opening the box, inside were three Nature’s Heart Crystals in each compartment!
A total of six.
Great stuff.
Let’s take them all!
Tippy, while flipping through ancient tomes in the temple, found some information, her brow furrowing unconsciously. She whispered, “Fang Heng, I’ve found something. Come over and take a look.”
Fang Heng walked over to Tippy with the wooden box and asked, “What did you discover?”
“Take a look at this passage,” Tippy said, handing him the book.
Fang Heng leaned in with Sandy to read together.
“Huh?”
Dimensional power!
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
The ancient book surprisingly contained descriptions of dimensional energy.
According to records, since a certain generation of the sacred tree awakened the dimensional strength, the tree spirit tribe gained the ability to enter other dimensional worlds.
The tree spirit tribe also began exploring other worlds, attempting to absorb dimensional energy from various dimensions.
Initially, this process was very slow, often taking several years to extract a bit of dimensional energy.
Nevertheless, the tree spirit tribe still gained significant benefits from dimensional energy.
This process continued for thousands of years.
During this period of time, the strength of the entire tree spirit tribe had been greatly improved by absorbing dimensional energy.
Seeing this, Fang Heng couldn’t help but secretly nod.
The information matched.
After Abe Akaya completed the initial inheritance assessment of the sacred tree, it awakened the skill of dimensional travel, which included instructions for directly absorbing dimensional energy.
However, the efficiency was incredibly slow, with only a hundred points absorbed per minute.
Moreover, leveling up to Level 1 in dimensional levels required billions of points, making this absorption rate seem insufficient.
Fang Heng continued reading further.
By chance, through the ability of dimensional travel, the tree spirits were guided into a relatively special world.
Inside the White Abyss, there was no vegetation, no sunlight to be seen all day long, just a white expanse, an extremely closed and desolate world for the tree spirit tribe.
However, there they encountered a remarkably powerful human clan.
The ancient books didn’t detail the encounters within the White Abyss extensively, but it seemed the Tree Spirit tribe reached an agreement with the human rulers of the White Abyss.
From the humans of the White Abyss, they learned about a precious item known as the dimensional core.
The dimensional core could greatly increase the absorption efficiency of dimensional energy!
The White Abyss was willing to provide a dimensional core to the tree spirit tribe.
However, as an exchange condition, the tree spirit tribe needed to help White Abyss seal something.
Seeing this, Fang Heng’s heart began to race.
The thing that the White Abyss needed the tree spirit tribe to seal couldn’t have been…
The demonic seed!
Flipping to the next page, Fang Heng’s pupils constricted.
The ancient books did not provide detailed descriptions of the demonic seed, but they contained records about the Nightfall Stone.
The Nightfall Stone is used for enhancing seals!
That’s right! It’s the demonic seed!
Fang Heng suddenly looked up and glanced at Tippy.
At the same time, a game hint quickly appeared.
[Hint: The player has triggered a hidden side mission-Traces of the White Abyss.]
Mission name: Traces of the White Abyss
Mission description: From the ancient books of the tree spirit tribe, you have learned about the existence of the White Abyss. The player can consult additional information to try to find details related to the White Abyss and obtain its coordinates.
Mission requirements: Consult the ancient books to acquire coordinates related to the White Abyss.
Mission reward: Follow-up mission.
Tippy also lifted her head, meeting Fang Heng’s gaze.
“According to the records, after the tree spirit tribe obtained the dimensional core, they used the secret technique of the tree spirit tribe to turn it into the Heart of Nature Crystal. After that, the speed at which the sacred tree absorbed dimensional energy increased greatly. The strength of the entire tree spirit tribe also made a huge breakthrough in a short period.”
“Unfortunately, dimensional cores are consumables,” Tippy began, recollecting carefully. “To prevent a sudden and catastrophic loss of power in the next sacred tree after the death of a predecessor during the tree spirit tribe’s history, they temporarily stored portions of Nature’s Heart Crystal as a contingency measure. They also documented relatively safe dimensional worlds within the sacred tree branches for use in times of crisis.”
Tippy sighed softly, reflecting on the past. “Even during the holy wars, the tree spirit tribe never delved into the reasons behind the appearance of the black fog. Now it seems the accounts in the ancient books are likely true.”
Sandy, rubbing the back of his neck, asked, “But why did the Nightfall Stone break later on?”
“I’m not sure. There’s no relevant record in the ancient books.”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. Could the destruction of the Nightfall Stone be related to the progenitor vampire?
“Let’s set aside that for now. Are there any records in the ancient books about restoring a damaged Nightfall Stone?” Tippy flipped through the pages again, shaking her head. “I can’t find anything related.”
“So, the current issue is finding a way to repair the Nightfall Stone.”
“Since the Nightfall Stone was obtained from the White Abyss, perhaps we can search for clues there…” Fang Heng suggested, looking at Tippy. “Is there any way to find a path to the White Abyss or its world coordinates?”
“Not at the moment. I’ll continue searching for relevant information. Hopefully, I can find some clues. There are many books stored here, and the documents in the main hall are frequently accessed by the Elders Council. There are also vast amounts of records accumulated in the remaining two side halls, containing valuable information from generations of the tree spirit tribe… There’s simply not enough time to go through everything,” Tippy explained with a hint of frustration.
Tippy frowned slightly, shaking her head. “There’s not enough time; we’ll have to select the most crucial ones to review.”
“Tippy, hold on,” Sandy interrupted, waving a book in his hand. “Why are the records in my book all gibberish? Is this encrypted information of your tree spirit tribe?”
“Yes, the most important ancient records of the tree spirit tribe are encrypted,” Tippy confirmed. “I’ve memorized some of the recent secret keys, but for ancient periods, we would need to find corresponding cipher books in the soul tribe’s treehouses.”
“Alright, there shouldn’t be any problems with the corresponding secret key.” Hearing that there was a corresponding key and he didn’t need to spend a lot of effort to crack it, Sandy was relieved. He looked at Fang Heng and asked, “Mr. Fang? Can we make our move now?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng naturally understood Sandy’s meaning and snapped his fingers.
Following that, a large number of Lickers entered the hall and quickly formed a cocoon in front of everyone.
