Chapter 2184  Benefits

Raven’s brow furrowed upon hearing Ji Haiting’s response.

Where could they even find high-strength electromagnetic interference in this situation? Even with a few more hours, it would be difficult to locate the necessary strength to break the seal.

“I see,” Raven said with a slight pause, turning his head to Fang Heng. “Do you have a solution?”

“I can give it a try,” Fang Heng replied.

Fang Heng glanced at Raven and said, “Great Elder Raven, breaking through the outer defense will surely require a significant expenditure of resources. In exchange, what can the tree spirit race offer me? How about a hundred Leaves of Life?”

Initially hopeful upon hearing that Fang Heng had a solution to break the barrier, Raven’s expression darkened significantly at the audacious request. More demands? And a hundred Leaves of Life? Did Fang Heng think their tree spirit race’s Leaves of Life were inexhaustible?

“We don’t have any spare Leaves of Life left, Fang Heng,” Raven replied, his tone curt. “We owe you a favor, and once this matter is resolved, as long as it doesn’t go against our…”

“Sorry,” Fang Heng shrugged, interrupting. “I don’t need anything later. I prefer something I can cash in on now.”

[Hint: The player’s friendliness with the tree spirits has decreased. The player’s favorability with Raven has greatly decreased.]

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint, his expression calm.

Considering the tree spirit race’s typical behavior, Fang Heng decided to negotiate the terms of the deal first.

As for favorability rating…

It didn’t matter.

After all, his favorability rating had already dropped to a certain extent.

Raven watched Fang Heng for a moment before saying, “In return, we can grant you the qualification to enter the Inner World.”

“Oh?” Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.

“Do I still need qualifications?”

“Only the tree spirit race is allowed to enter the Inner World. Without our permission, anyone entering the Inner World will face hostility from the tree spirit race. We can open the entrance to the Inner World for you. I’ll tell you the truth, once the spiritual domain blockade is lifted, we are very likely to enter the Inner World.”

Fang Heng looked at Raven, pondering for a moment.

Deception.

With the strength of Abe Akaya, he could also open a teleportation passage to the Inner World.

“From what I see, you’ve just painted a big picture for me. But that alone is far from enough.”

Raven stared at Fang Heng for a moment, then pulled out another scroll from his pocket and threw it toward Fang Heng.

“What is this again?”

“The map of the Inner World, with the location of our tree spirit race’s Prayer Temple marked on it. Once you enter the Inner World, you can use the map to find the Prayer Temple. There’s also a tree spirit race seal tucked inside the map. You can use the seal to receive the inheritance power from the tree spirit race within the Prayer Temple.”

“Is that so…”

Fang Heng took the map thrown to him from mid-air.

[Item: Tree spirit race’s Inner World map (Inactive).]

Description: A replica of a hand-drawn map that’s been around for some years. It marks the location of the Prayer Temple and some special buildings of the tree spirit race. (The player can use this map to track locations and enter the Inner World after activation.)

[Item: Honor seal of the Prayer Temple.]

Description: A reward provided by the tree spirit race to distinguished members. With this item, you can receive one inheritance of power within the Prayer Temple.

Fang Heng glanced at the game description.

The seal was not fake.

It’s just that this thing could only be used after entering the Inner World.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a big promise.

It was slightly better than the previous blatant deception.

“Besides, I also need ten Leaves of Life.”

Raven almost gritted his teeth and said, “Fine!”

“And I…”

“Fang Heng!” Raven stared at Fang Heng, anger hidden in his eyes. “That’s enough.”

“Alright, calm down, I just want to say, I need you to step back a bit to avoid being accidentally harmed,” Fang Heng attempted to navigate the boundaries of the tree spirit race.

Seeing that he had already approached Raven’s limit, Fang Heng quickly retreated.

The tree spirit race was both poor and stingy.

Upon careful consideration, it wasn’t entirely their fault.

After all, their wealth was hidden in the Inner World.

At the moment, Fang Heng could only grasp a portion of the uncertain future.

Raven took a deep breath, signaling the tribe to step back a bit, and said, “Let’s do it.”

“Yes.”

Fang Heng swiftly extended his hands, condensing an imprint in front of him.

Beast taming!

A dark magic array spun before Fang Heng.

“Swoosh!”

Swiftly, a dark glow shot out from the magic array!

A phantom shadow rat swiftly darted out from the magic array, scurrying up Fang Heng’s shoulder and affectionately rubbing against his neck.

Summoning magic!?

On the side, Vannes’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The tree spirit clan also possessed similar summoning abilities, but as they left the Inner World, the creatures they could form summoning contracts with ceased to exist.

What kind of creature was this rat-like being?

Through the remote screen, Ji Haiting also witnessed the scene, his eyes flickering with curiosity. At the same time, he became even more interested in Fang Heng.

Sure enough! Fang Heng still had many undisclosed means up his sleeve. Now he was even more curious. How would Fang Heng manage to break through the periphery barrier force field of the electronic spirit?

Even for him, finding a way to break through this barrier would take months of effort.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Heng reached out and rubbed the chin of the phantom shadow rat.

“Come on, aim for that.”

The phantom shadow rat squeaked twice and then took a deep breath, its cheeks puffing out.

“Hoo!”

At the next moment, a dense black fog sprayed out from the mouth of the phantom shadow rat.

The dense black fog surged towards the electromagnetic barrier force field.

Here it was!

Fang Heng stared intently at the barrier.

Besides perception shielding and pollution diffusion, the black fog could also cause significant interference to various electronic devices and electromagnetic waves!

Under the influence of the black fog, the entire force field erupted with a crackling sound of electricity.

The space of the electromagnetic barrier exhibited a peculiar distortion, continuously expanding and contracting, with blue currents flashing and surging within the spatial energy field.

Even the electronic spirit at the center of the electromagnetic barrier was affected, as the blue spherical body encased in scale armor fluctuated back and forth.

The control systems of the entire Federation research institute suffered significant disruption, causing even the power supply equipment to become unstable, resulting in flickering lights throughout the building.

Communication between Ji Haiting and Fang Heng experienced significant interference as well.

Fang Heng’s ears were immediately filled with a cacophony of noisy electric currents.

“Boom!”

Following closely, an explosion resounded!

A wave of black energy surged forth, rushing toward everyone!

Vannes squinted his eyes and shouted, “Watch out!”

In the next moment, dozens of black armor pieces shot out from the burst of black fog!

Everyone immediately dodged to avoid them.
