Chapter 2173  Exchange


As they entered the prison area, Senzo"s brow furrowed deeply, his expression unusually serious.


Could it be Fang Heng who led the Federation here?


But how did Fang Heng even find their location?


The Leaf tribe had never disclosed their whereabouts to the outside world.


Even the Tree Whisperers Alliance didn"t know where they were.


"Fang Heng."


Entering the confinement area, Senzo looked up at Fang Heng imprisoned in the vine-covered cell, nodding to indicate to the tree spirit people nearby to release him.


Fang Heng stepped out of the vine prison, stretching his muscles and bones, and then looked at Elder Senzo. He nodded and said, "Elder Senzo, it"s been a while. How have you been these days?"


Senzo"s expression remained dark as he asked, "Did you bring the Federation here?"


"Don"t jump to conclusions."


Fang Heng thought, amused by Senzo"s accuracy but couldn"t admit it outright. He waved his hand casually and continued, "I actually received information from the Federation about their impending pursuit. I wanted to inform you in advance, but I ended up being treated like this. Can"t blame me."


Senzo furrowed his brows.


Deep down, he didn"t believe Fang Heng could be so benevolent.


"So how did the Federation get the information?"


"I"m not sure about that. Maybe it was leaked by the Tree Whisperers Alliance?"


"Impossible. The Tree Whisperers Alliance doesn"t even know our exact location."


"Then I have no idea. Anyway, I received the information from the Federation, so I came here first. Don"t worry, Elder Senzo, it"s just a probing attack by the Federation. With the abilities of the tree spirit race, you can easily repel them."


Fang Heng couldn"t help but feel like laughing, but he restrained himself and casually shrugged. "Alright, Great Elder Senzo, I didn"t come here to discuss these dampening matters this time. I have an important collaboration I"d like to discuss with you.""


"Cooperation?"


Senzo"s expression was cautious as he looked at Fang Heng, feeling increasingly uneasy.


"What kind of cooperation?"


"How come? Didn"t Vannes just tell you? Of course, the Niam alloy." Fang Heng looked at Senzo and continued, "Elder Senzo, what do you think? Are you interested in this?"


Senzo stared at Fang Heng, becoming even more suspicious.


Since the last failed operation, news about the Niam alloy had disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.


Even the tree spirit race couldn"t find the Niam alloy. How could Fang Heng find it then?


"Do you have information about the Niam alloy?"


"Of course, I don"t."


Senzo"s eyes concealed a hint of anger. "Fang Heng, I don"t have time to waste on you."


"I know you"re in a hurry, but don"t rush," Fang Heng said, glancing outside and then pointing upwards. "Let me get straight to the point. I can"t get the Niam alloy, but I found another way. It can temporarily help you break through part of the spiritual domain blockade and open a pa.s.sage to the Inner World."


"What is it?"


"We can start from the central device of the spiritual domain blockade network. I"ve found the location of the central device, which is located in the Federation"s secret research inst.i.tute. And I"ve obtained a virus program. Once the virus is successfully injected into the central device, we can easily shut down the external spiritual domain network for a period of time. During that time, you can directly open the pa.s.sage to the Inner World."


Listening to Fang Heng"s words, Senzo"s expression became serious as he lowered his head in thought.


Indeed, he had heard of the central device from the Federation.


The central device of the spiritual domain network was located in the Federation"s central secret research base.


It was said that the central device could control the entire spiritual domain network terminal.


Theoretically, what Fang Heng said was possible.


But Senzo couldn"t determine the truth of temporarily shutting down the spiritual domain network as Fang Heng claimed.


At least the sp.a.w.ns spent a long time, even the central secret research inst.i.tute of the Federation didn"t figure out where it was.


Senzo raised his head and said, "It sounds promising. So, why did you come to me?"


"Of course, to ask for compensation." Fang Heng chuckled and continued, "You know, it"s the Federation"s central research inst.i.tute, and infiltrating such a dangerous place and doing such dirty work for you will require a lot of effort on my part. As an exchange, shouldn"t you also give something in return?"


"What do you want?"


"Nothing much, just a few Leaves of Life and the runes you gave me last time."


"Greedy human!"


Senzo looked at Fang Heng, feeling extremely displeased.


However, his suspicion of Fang Heng decreased somewhat.


Using the Leaf of Life as a bargaining chip?


Indeed.


If Fang Heng"s words were true and the endeavor succeeded, giving him the Leaf of Life wouldn"t be impossible.


As for the runestone, he wouldn"t agree.


"Five hundred Leaves of Life. How about that?"


"Five hundred?"


Senzo was furious at Fang Heng"s exorbitant demand.


This kid! Did he really think the Leaf of Life of the tree spirit race was just some common fallen leaf?


"Ha ha ha, don"t be angry."


Seeing Senzo looking furious, Fang Heng chuckled and said, "Just kidding with you. How about a hundred? A hundred, what do you say?"


"Eighty?"


"Seventy?"


Fang Heng observed Senzo"s expression, probing his bottom line, "Sixty, no less."


Senzo took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.


He wasn"t going to compete with a human boy!


For the great cause of the tree spirit race.


He would accept if they could open the pa.s.sage to the Inner World.


Then he would find a way to make Fang Heng regurgitate everything he had swallowed!


"I can agree to your terms. When we enter the Inner World, you can get sixty Leaves of Life."


Fang Heng frowned at the words.


The game hint was triggered.


[Hint: The player has triggered a mission-Trade with the tree spirit race].


Mission t.i.tle: Trade with the tree spirit race.


Mission difficulty: SSS-level.


Mission description: The player reaches an agreement with Great Elder Senzo to a.s.sist the tree spirit race in temporarily breaking through part of the spiritual domain network blockade and opening a pa.s.sage to the Inner World. After the tree spirit race enters the Inner World, the player can seek out Great Elder Senzo to obtain 60 Leaves of Life.


[Hint: The player"s friendship with the tree spirit race and Senzo decreases.]


Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and sneered inwardly.


This old guy.


Still digging a pit for himself?


The mission not only required fulfilling the temporary breakthrough of the spiritual domain blockade network but also specified that the tree spirit race could only receive the reward after successfully opening the pa.s.sage to the Inner World.


In addition to the obvious pitfalls, there were hidden pitfalls.


Even if he successfully completed the first two missions, he still had to personally find Senzo to submit the mission and obtain 60 Leaves of Life.
