Chapter 2174 Negotiation
Was this a joke?
What if the tree spirits went back on their word, or something unexpected happened and kicked him out of the tree spirit camp?
Even if things went smoothly, once Senzo and the tree spirit race hid in the Inner World, where would he go to find someone to submit the mission to?
The most crucial issue was time.
Fang Heng had a plan.
While temporarily breaking the spiritual domain blockade here, Cleriway would also summon the sacred tree Abe Akaya to activate the magic array, thereby opening the teleportation passage to the Inner World.
So when Fang Heng arrived, he had already decided.
This time, he needed to strive to obtain the mission reward in advance.
Or at least, he needed to receive the reward while completing the mission so that Cleriway could use the Leaf of Life to provide Abe Akaya with the power to operate the magic array and open the passage to the Inner World.
Killing two birds with one stone!
And at the same time, he could escape the pursuit of the spawns and enter the Inner World!
It was a pity that he lacked the Leaf of Life.
Fang Heng shook his head and continued to negotiate, "No, I need the Leaves of Life urgently. I can't wait that long. I must get the Leaves of Life first, and I can only guarantee a temporary interruption of the spiritual domain blockade network..."
"Heh..."
Senzo sneered, interrupting, "Fang Heng, our tree spirit race has already made concessions. Don't push it too far. It's impossible to provide the Leaves of Life in advance based on your premonition. How do we know for sure that you can break the spiritual domain blockade?" Fang Heng frowned.
He had a contingency plan.
Directly exchange the Leaf of Life for the Niam alloy.
Senzo would probably agree.
But then he hesitated.
The Niam alloy was extremely rare, and Black Castle also needed it to deal with the spawns. It might have unexpected effects in the future.
Both of them were unwilling to compromise for the time being and unwilling to give up, so they fell silent at the same time.
At that moment, a low voice came from above.
"Senzo, why not leave it to me? I will monitor him all the way, and when I confirm that he is capable of temporarily breaking the spiritual domain network blockade, I will give him the Leaves of Life."
Upon hearing the sudden voice, Fang Heng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. He looked up towards the source.
Not far away, in a prison cell near the corner, an elderly member of the tree spirit race slowly spoke up.
Senzo looked at the person, his brows furrowing tightly. Raven.
The sinner imprisoned in the vine prison.
Once, Raven was also one of the Great Elders of the Leaf tribe.
During a mission, Raven's reckless actions led to great losses for the entire tree spirit race.
Raven blamed himself for it.
At that time, apart from the Leaf tribe, the other three major tribes were unwilling to let it go. They sought justice from the Leaf tribe. To silence the other tribes, Raven had been imprisoned since then and had never set foot outside.
In the current urgent situation, Raven was indeed the most suitable person for the job.
Senzo hesitated for a moment and then made a decision, turning to Fang Heng. He said, "You heard it. Great Elder Raven will accompany you throughout the infiltration of the Federation's central research room. You will temporarily halt the operation of the spiritual domain network until it is confirmed that you have the ability to disrupt it. Only then will we hand over the Leaves of Life. This is our final concession. Do you agree?"
[Hint: The player's mission changes, and the tree spirit race's Great Elder Raven, will accompany you to the central research room of the Federation. Once the mission is completed, you can immediately receive the mission reward from Raven.]
[Hint: During the mission execution, if Raven dies or the player is more than 1,000 meters away from Raven, the mission will fail by default.]
Fang Heng looked up at Raven and said, "The destination is far from here. I will use a special method to get there. Are you sure you can keep up?"
"No problem. I have my own way to follow you."
Raven said, stepping out of the prison and exchanging a quick glance with Senzo.
"Before we set off, I need to explain something to the Great Elder."
Raven said as he walked to the side with the Great Elder, turning his back and speaking quietly.
Fang Heng watched their secretive behavior and felt they were probably plotting something again.
Soon, Raven returned.
"Ready?"
"I will accompany you to the central research institute of the Federation."
With that, Raven quickly condensed an imprint with both hands in front of him.
A faint cyan light flashed.
An identical tree shadow clone appeared next to Raven.
Shadow clone skill?
Fang Heng was curious and took a few more glances.
The difference between the clone and the main body was significant, especially in appearance, with only one facial contour.
But he didn't know how effective it would be in combat.
"Alright." Fang Heng nodded and said, "Also, just give the Leaves of Life to my companion outside."
"Okay."
Raven agreed readily, and then his main body slowly turned into a stream of light, forming a small vine-like substance.
Isn't this a bit of a joke?
What if the tree spirit race backs out or something unexpected happens, and he gets kicked out of the tree spirit camp?
Even if things go smoothly, once Senzo and the tree spirit race hide in the Inner World, where will he go to find someone to submit the mission to?

"Senzo, why not leave it to me? I will monitor him all the way, and when I confirm that he is capable of temporarily breaking the spiritual domain network blockade, I will give him the Leaves of Life."
Hearing this sudden voice, Fang Heng couldn't help but be moved and looked up at the figure above.
Not far away, in a prison near the corner, an elderly tree spirit slowly spoke.
Senzo looked at the person, his brows furrowing tightly. Raven.
The sinner imprisoned in the vine prison.

[Hint: The player's mission changes, and the tree spirit race's patriarch, Elder Raven, will accompany you to the central research room of the Federation. Once the mission is completed, you can immediately receive the mission reward from Raven.]
[Hint: During the mission execution, if Raven dies or the player is more than 1000 meters away from Raven, the mission will fail by default.]
Fang Heng looked up at Raven. "The destination is far from here. I will use a special ritual to get there. Are you sure you can keep up?"
"No problem. I have my own way to accompany you."
Raven said, stepping out of the prison and exchanging a quick glance with Senzo.
"Before we set off, I need to explain something to the Great Elder."

"Okay."
Raven agreed readily, and then his main body slowly turned into a stream of light, forming a small vine-like substance. "Click.."
The vine-like substance leaped forward and stuck to Fang Heng's armpit area.
Fang Heng heard Raven's voice in his ear.
"Human, I think this should do."
Fang Heng looked down and saw the vine-like substance pulsating rhythmically under his armpit like a heart.
The voice came from the vine-like substance.
Special mimicking ability?
"Looks like it's settled."
Fang Heng shrugged.
"Alright then."
One more tag-along.
The mission difficulty has increased.
With Raven, he probably couldn't use the secondary space projection ability.
But at least the tree spirit race agreed to cooperate, meeting his minimum expectations for the mission. Senzo urged, "Let's get started as soon as possible."
Fang Heng rubbed his shoulder and said, "Let's not rush. Since we're here, I'll help you take care of the Federation and the spawns chasing after you..."
Since he was here and it just happened that he discovered that the headquarters of the tree spirit race was under attack, as "allies," shouldn't he lend a hand in the defense?
And maybe earn some contribution points to exchange for more Leaves of Life?
On the front line.
After activating the high-interference interference device of the tree spirit race, the speed of appearance of spatial transmission light spots in the external space decreased significantly.
Soon, the Root tribe and the Wood tribe also quickly arrived to support near the habitat base of the Leaf tribe, joining forces on the front line to deal with the Federation.
When Fang Heng and Elder Senzo returned to the front line, the tree spirit race had already gained control of the situation.
More than ten spawns remained behind the Federation's large-scale mechanical devices, continuously releasing high-frequency psychic energy beams to resist the tree people pouring in from all sides.
It seemed like they were at their wit's end.
He didn't expect that the tree spirit race would be so resilient.
"I'll go!"
Fang Heng's eyes lit up as he found the opportunity to strike a blow. Without waiting for Elder Senzo to speak, he dashed back into the battlefield.
After being chased by the spawns for so long, he was feeling a bit irritable.
Moreover, now was the perfect opportunity to rack up some kills and earn rewards!
