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!
