Sergei continued to explain, "Fang Heng, our attacks on the various Wood Clan prayer temples are just a smokescreen. Our target has always been the Wood Clan's habitat, and we have made full preparations for this."

"Is that so?"

Fang Heng's lips twitched, and he was about to say something sarcastic when he saw Sergei take out a small box from his close-fitting package.

"What is this?"

"Contaminated fragments of the Seed of the Divine Tree."

Fang Heng watched Sergei open the box, revealing three black, jujube-like objects lying inside.

Sergei handed the box to Fang Heng and explained, "Take these three seeds. On the surface, they possess some of the aura of the ancient divine tree, but in reality, they have been contaminated and are completely unusable. If the Wood Clan's Divine Tree sapling accidentally absorbs them…"

Fang Heng became more curious and didn't immediately take the box, instead examining the seeds inside.

"Oh? Are you saying this thing can cause trouble for the Wood Clan?"

"A great deal of trouble."

"Is that so? That's not bad."

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the three seeds, looked up at Sergei again, and asked, "Tell me about your plan in detail."

"Just like when you infiltrated our habitat, we hope to use your special abilities to enter the Wood Clan's interior. This is the map of the Wood Clan's interior that we obtained. It's a bit old, so there may be some discrepancies, but we believe the difference won't be significant."

As Sergei spoke, he placed a map on the box and handed it to Fang Heng, continuing to explain, "With your abilities, finding the Seed of the Divine Tree won't be difficult."

"Indeed, then what?"

"Next, we'll need to use the contaminated Seed of the Divine Tree. Once you get close to the Divine Tree sapling area, you just need to stimulate it with your mental power, infuse it into the Seed of the Divine Tree, and then crush it. At that time, the contaminated aura hidden in the seed will erupt."

"This power has an extremely strong suppressing effect on the Divine Tree sapling, which can shield some of its abilities. Of course, it's best to find a way to directly throw the seed into the magic array that nurtures the Divine Tree sapling. Once the Seed of the Divine Tree absorbs the seed, the impact will be greater, and the backlash will last longer."

Fang Heng felt a surge of curiosity, wondering if this seed could really be so powerful.

"After completing this, find a way to leave immediately, and leave the rest to us, the Leaf Clan. If you still have the strength, you can try to destroy the various teleportation channels within the Wood Clan's main clan to buy us more time."

Fang Heng took the box and map that Sergei handed over.

[Hint: Player has obtained item - Seed Filled with Contaminated Aura].

[Hint: Player has obtained item - Map of the Wood Clan Habitat (Partially Damaged)].

[Hint: Player has triggered special mission - The Leaf Clan's Plan].

Mission Name: The Leaf Clan's Plan.

Mission Description: The Leaf Clan hopes that you can infiltrate the Wood Clan's camp and use the seed filled with a contaminated aura to temporarily damage the Divine Tree sapling, greatly reducing its power.

Mission Objective: Temporarily damage the Wood Clan's Divine Tree sapling to buy time for the Leaf Clan.

Mission Reward: Main Mission - Completion of the transaction with the Leaf Clan increases, Leaf Clan favorability increases.

Fang Heng looked at the game's mission description and then at the item description, and his heart skipped a beat.

Wait…

What is this!

[Hint: Item - Seed Filled with Contaminated Aura]

Item Description: An ordinary seed that emits the power fluctuations of the Divine Tree. It appears to be intact on the surface, but it is said that its interior has been completely contaminated and is filled with the power of contamination.

????? 55. ?????

Additional Description: There seems to be some unknown power left in the seed.

Additional Description (Mission Hint Triggered): Crushing the seed will rapidly spread the power of contamination within, causing a local area contamination effect.

Additional Description (Triggered by the same source of power within the player): This seed has been contaminated by the Demon Seed (source of contamination not confirmed).

Eh!?

It's actually contamination!

Sergei noticed that Fang Heng's emotions seemed to fluctuate and asked, "What's wrong? Is it strange?"

"No, it's nothing."

Fang Heng played with the seed in his hand, secretly suppressing the doubts in his heart, and looked up at the Wood Clan's habitat in the distance, "Then what's your plan? After I break through the outer defenses, what will you do next?"

"We have already arranged for our people inside the Wood Clan. Once the Divine Tree shows abnormalities, our people will immediately activate the backup teleportation magic array and secretly sneak into the center of the Wood Clan's habitat, taking down the Wood Clan's Divine Tree sapling in one fell swoop."

Sergei paused and reminded, "The Wood Clan's internal defenses are extremely tight. If something unexpected happens in the middle, you can try to infuse your mental power into the contaminated seed and crush it to detonate it, which can also cause some chaos, but remember, there are only three seeds in total."

"Heh… you have a good plan."

Fang Heng chuckled, glanced at Sergei, seemingly seeing through him completely.

Actively detonate the contamination?

If it were an ordinary person, being hit by a contamination explosion at close range would likely be affected by the contamination and completely corrupted.

Sergei became a little guilty under Fang Heng's gaze, "What? Is there any other problem?"

"Nothing."

Fang Heng was too lazy to argue and didn't ask any more questions, disappearing into the twinkling spatial fluctuations as he stepped forward.

Watching Fang Heng leave, Sergei's gaze gradually turned cold.

The contaminated Seed of the Divine Tree contains a high concentration of contamination. If it were detonated at close range without any preparation, even they, the Tree Spirit Clan, would not be able to withstand it, and there is a high probability that they would be affected by the corruption effect.

If Fang Heng really crushed the Seed of the Divine Tree, he would definitely be affected by the contamination effect, and he would definitely not have a good ending.

In addition, the reason he only handed over the contaminated seed now was naturally because Great Elder Senzo had instructed him to do so.

Senzo felt that if the base was only attacked, it would not be enough to attract the Wood Clan's Great Elder back. They had to create more commotion, such as threatening the Wood Clan's Divine Tree sapling itself!

They had already learned in advance that the Wood Clan had left a special mark on the protection of the Divine Tree sapling. Once the mark was triggered, all the Wood Clan's Great Elders would sense it and immediately teleport back through a special method.

This gave others the opportunity to seize the Divine Tree sapling's clone.

In fact, Argyle's so-called subsequent actions of the Leaf Clan were completely fabricated.
