Chapter 657: The Sixth Group of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe

A day and a half later, Yi Chen arrived at the exile planet in the galaxy through the teleportation array.

The Shadow King was already waiting for him there.

As soon as Yi Chen arrived, the Shadow King used his stealth techniques to envelop him and quickly headed to the coordinates where the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces would arrive.

By the time the Shadow King and Yi Chen arrived, Morris and the high-ranking leaders of the human federation were already there, waiting.

"How many times has this been?"

"The sixth time, I believe!"

"The sixth time…"

The high-ranking leaders of the human federation felt a wave of emotions in their hearts.

Up till now, this was already the sixth time they had welcomed the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The first time was with the first envoy of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, then the second envoy, and next was Morris, the third envoy.

After that came Morris’s subordinates and the persuaded Mares.

The first five times were almost entirely of no use and even brought some negative impacts to the human federation.

The human federation did not receive any benefits from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe during those first five visits.

On the contrary, due to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the Soul Clan had grown stronger and even attracted a Shadow King of the Shadow Clan.

Troubles kept arising.

The reason the overall strength of the human federation made such rapid growth in the past twenty years was completely thanks to Yi Chen creating one new skill after another.

By learning Yi Chen’s various new skills, the human federation could rapidly improve their overall strength at a high-speed development rate.

This sixth time seemed a bit different.

This time, the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was not just sending one or two envoys, but a large number of strong fighters to deal with these troubles.

Most importantly, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe finally began to assist the human federation.

From Morris, they learned that this time, they brought an astonishing quantity of materials for constructing Large Battleships.

Additionally, they also brought a tremendous amount of resources and treasures, including various items specified as needed by the human federation.

The quantity exceeded the expectations of the high-ranking leaders when they studied the materials list.

According to Morris, the total value of this batch of resources and treasures aimed at aiding the human federation’s rapid development exceeded thirty trillion Low-grade Immortal Stones.

Given the current average strength of the human federation, this was undeniably an enormous amount of resources and treasures.

What mattered most was that this batch of resources and treasures included all the spirit materials and spirit mines that the human federation needed to enhance their overall strength.

After desperately pleading with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to accept the human federation’s dependency, they finally saw tangible benefits.

And these were substantial benefits.

Just thinking about the arrival of these resources and treasures excited the high-ranking leaders of the human federation immensely.

Moreover, according to Morris, the arrival of this group of Tree-Dwelling Tribe forces would not only help the human federation solve all troubles at once, but also assist in quickly unifying the entire star cluster.

Since Yi Chen disappeared, the high-ranking leaders of the human federation have been criticized harshly by the public.

At last, they are about to welcome a glorious moment.

However, amidst the excitement and joy, they still feel a bit uneasy.

Not only does the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe believe that the star cluster and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe are not compatible, but even the high-ranking leaders of the human federation now firmly believe this inference.

The biggest proof is that none of the first five groups of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe that came to the star cluster had good outcomes.

Some have died, others have been injured, and now only Morris and Mares remain in the star cluster.

One is heavily injured and has lost everything, while the other is also badly hurt; when attacked by Morris, he used a large number of high-quality immortal materials and lost many top-notch treasures to escape a catastrophe.

None of the five groups of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe brought any benefit to the human federation.

Similarly, these five groups of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe did not gain anything in the star cluster either.

Because of this, even though this sixth group of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe has an impressive presence and is directly bringing a massive amount of resources and treasures to the human federation, the high-ranking leaders remain anxious.

They genuinely worry that this group of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe will also suffer tremendous misfortune in the star cluster, similarly to the previous five groups, and end up having all their resources and treasures stolen by the Shadow King.

Alternatively, they might encounter other accidents that not only would prevent the human federation from gaining any benefits, but could also lead to severe losses for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, even resulting in heavy casualties in the star cluster.

Given the strength realm of this group of Tree-Dwelling Tribe members, such a situation should not normally happen.

But when misfortune strikes, no logic applies.

Meanwhile, Morris looked full of anticipation.

He no longer had any other thoughts, only wanting to quickly finish the mission in the star cluster and return to the super star cluster.

Resources and treasures could be earned again, but losing his life here would leave him with absolutely nothing.

He firmly believed that with so many powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe present, including two level 220 strong fighters, they would not encounter any unexpected problems this time.

After all, even if Mares and the Shadow King teamed up, they could not defeat a level 220 strong fighter, let alone two of them. Furthermore, according to news from the foreign affairs department, Mares had already agreed to reconciliation.

At the very least, he would not seek revenge before returning to the Tree Star Cluster.

No matter how incompatible the star cluster was with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, having two level 220 strong fighters would surely minimize the impact.

As for returning to the Tree Star Cluster, he was not afraid of Mares’ revenge.

No matter how extensive Mares’ connections were, he was only a level 200 strong fighter and could not do anything against a level 210 strong fighter like him.

Little did they know that not far away, Yi Chen and the Shadow King were also waiting for the arrival of the sixth group of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Moreover, this was not the first time Yi Chen and the Shadow King had come to welcome the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to the star cluster.

Counting, it was the sixth time for the high-ranking leaders of the human federation, while it was the fourth for Yi Chen and the Shadow King.

Since Morris arrived, they always showed up to welcome the Tree-Dwelling Tribe alongside the high-ranking leaders of the human federation.

“Let’s hope for a lucky break and that they start with the Soul Clan.”

As the time approached, Yi Chen also felt a bit uneasy.

After pondering fruitlessly, he could only hope that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would focus on resolving the issues with the Soul Clan first.

This way, he would have enough time to absorb the fortunes of these Tree-Dwelling Tribe members and formulate further plans.

If the Tree-Dwelling Tribe started dealing with him and the Shadow King first, there would be no way out.

They would discover that he was nearby right away.

If that happened, Yi Chen would have no choice but to take the most desperate measures, directly depriving them of all their fortunes and then allowing the Shadow King to take Boses and Titan Bo to eliminate this group of Tree-Dwelling Tribe members completely.

To achieve this, he planned to consume some fortunes to try and increase the success rate.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours passed as both sides waited with their own thoughts.

Finally, Marshal Iron Blood of the Federation Military received a notification from the Captain of the Large Battleship.

“They are nearly here!”
