Chapter 2147 Cooperation

….
Among the elders of the tree spirit tribe gathered, Senzo, the senior elder of the Leaf tribe responsible for summoning the tree spirits to join the war, turned to the side and asked, “Where are those creatures controlled by humans? Why haven’t they joined the battlefield to support us?”

Upon hearing the inquiry, a tree spirit who had previously gone to find Fang Heng approached with a displeased expression and said, “Elder, that human is unwilling to cooperate and even spoke arrogantly to us.”

“Spoke arrogantly?” Senzo frowned, feeling a sense of discomfort rising in his heart. He furrowed his brows and said, “Let’s go, take me there. I want to personally meet with that human.”

The tree spirit was shocked, “Great Elder, who are you to meet a human?”

Senzo said in a deep voice as he glanced at his clansmen, “Lead the way.”

“Yes, sir!”

Soon, Elder Senzo of the tree spirit race appeared in front of Fang Heng again, accompanied by several clansmen.

“Human.” Senzo looked at Fang Heng and said in an unquestionable tone, “We need you to lead your creatures into the battlefield immediately to buy us time to attack the research institute.”

Fang Heng had sent the tree spirits away before, but he did not expect them to return.

It seemed that the things in the research institute were very important to the tree spirits.

Fang Heng couldn’t help but think about it.

Interesting!

What could it be?

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Senzo, asking, “Is this a request from the tree spirits?”

Senzo looked at Fang Heng with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He obviously did not expect Fang Heng to ask in this way.

“Outrageous! Do you realize who you’re speaking to? This individual is the esteemed elder of our tree spirit lineage, the Great Elder Senzo!”

Hearing Fang Heng’s words, the two tree spirits couldn’t hold it in anymore. They took two steps forward and stared angrily at Fang Heng as if they were going to attack him at any moment.

Fang Heng ignored the two tree spirits and looked at Senzo, saying, “So it’s Elder Senzo. You haven’t answered my question.”

Senzo raised his hand to signal the two clansmen beside him to leave. He looked at Fang Heng and warned, “Young man, this world is much bigger than you think. In the face of an existence older than you, you should remain respectful and humble.”

“Indeed, but the tree spirits are not the only ones with ancient inheritance. We are also believers of the power of nature. I think we are equal.”

Fang Heng raised his right hand.

Under the enveloping green glow, a sapling began to sprout and grow in Fang Heng’s palm.

Seeing this, several tree spirits behind Senzo exchange glances, their eyes revealing a hint of astonishment.

What the hell!

They could sense the natural power fluctuation from Fang Heng’s body!

How was that possible?

How could humans use the power of nature?

“Just as you said, this world is very big. The inheritance of humans might be older than you think.”

Fang Heng looked at Senzo and continued, “We have always come with the sincerity of cooperation, but we have never been treated as we should be. The tree spirits have disappointed me. We are considering whether we should still maintain this humility and respect.”

Senzo asked in a deep voice, “What do you want to obtain from the tree spirits?”

“Obtain? No, all we seek is cooperation,” Fang Heng looks at Senzo, “Forgive my frankness, but the basis of cooperation is respect. I have done much to assist your tree spirit race, yet even the purpose of your current attack on the research institute is unclear, making it difficult for me to feel respected…”

“Niam alloy,” Senzo interrupted Fang Heng, saying, “If your demand is merely this… We need to acquire the Niam alloy from within the research institute.”

Fang Heng raises an eyebrow, “And what is that?”

“A rare alloy metal. It has the capability to unlock the spiritual domain blockade network set up by the OmniTech Company.”

Fang Heng frowned.

Senzo saw the expression on Fang Heng’s face and explained from the beginning, “It’s a kind of interstellar defense blockade network created by the Federation, the spiritual domain blockade network. It’s enveloping the upper layer of the world we’re in.”

Senzo pointed upwards towards the sky as he spoke, “Through the spiritual domain blockade, the Federation can impose comprehensive lockdowns and surveillance on the entire world, including transition transport. In theory, with sufficient energy, the Federation can accomplish transition teleportation to any corner covered by the spiritual domain.”

“In addition, the power of our tree spirit race has also been greatly weakened under the influence of the spiritual domain blockade.” Senzo paused and emphasized, “Most importantly, the defense network prevents us from entering the Inner World.”

Spiritual domain network!

Fang Heng suddenly realized something and looked up at the sky.

After entering this world, he felt that he was greatly hindered in using natural science.

Now, it seemed that the source of this obstruction should be the so-called spiritual domain blockade that Senzo had mentioned.

Not only could the spiritual domain blockade hinder the use of the power of nature, but it could also help the Federation complete the spatial transmission.

From the looks of it, the spiritual domain blockade seemed to be the work of the alien spawns.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment then he looked at Senzo and asked, “I understand, but what does this have to do with the Niam alloy?”

“As I said earlier, the spiritual domain blockade has affected the release of our power. If we want to return to the Inner World, we must temporarily break the restrictions of the spiritual domain blockade. From the information we have collected in recent years, we have learned of a special material called Niam alloy.”

Senzo continued, “With this material as the foundation, we can think of a way to create a special barrier. Once the barrier is built, we can temporarily avoid the spiritual domain blockade and use this opportunity to open the passage to the Inner World.”

“I see.”

Fang Heng nodded.

After all this time, the Water of Life was indeed a hoax.

Previously, he had been completely used by the tree spirits.

Fang Heng’s mood instantly soured.

“If I can help you find the Niam alloy, what can I get?”

Negotiating terms?

Senza did not like Fang Heng at all. He frowned and asked, “What do you want from the tree spirits?”

[Hint: The player has triggered a special choice. The player can choose whether to cooperate with the tree spirit race.]

[Hint (triggered by the player’s early mission reward): The player is advised to join the tree spirit race’s mission line.]

Fang Heng ignored the game prompt and continued, “No, it’s not about gaining, it’s about exchanging. We are believers of nature, and the foundation of cooperation is fairness. So I should be the one asking you this question. What can I gain from working together?”

Senzo thought for a moment and nodded, saying, “Alright, the tree spirits will give you some access. You can exchange some items with the tree spirits through your contribution points. This is our biggest concession.”
