Chapter 31 The Tree Spirit Arrives
The tree spirits were at a loss and turned their eyes to another tree spirit.
Tree spirits lack human gender distinctions; they are all androgynous, possessing an androgynous beauty in their adult lives. The one they collectively gazed upon appeared more mature. Two long branches sprouted from her thick, dark green hair, adorned with sparse, dark red leaves, forming a unique crown. She was undoubtedly the leader of this group. The other tree spirits stared at her, but her gaze remained fixed solely on Thrall.
They heard the tall man say to them, "But you're in luck. My boss is in need of some work. If you agree to work for him from now on, I can rescue you from the slave camp."
The leader of the tree spirits was named Namea. Compared to the other tree spirits, who all looked frightened or uneasy, she appeared calm and composed. "You're human too, yet you expect us to trust you? Why?"
"Good question." Under their gaze, the tall man with a stern expression slowly spoke, "The land in the slave camp is arid and barren, with almost no nutrients. Your roots have shrunk here, making you no different from fish living in a sewer! Oh, I forgot. Anyway, you're slaves, and slaves don't need dignity."
The tree spirits glared at each other, shaking with anger, but unable to refute. One of the tree spirits was so angry that he wanted to rush up to teach Thrall a lesson, but just after moving a few steps, he was tripped by the heavy chains and fell to the ground with a crash.
Thrall tutted his words at this, looking down upon them with a condescending arrogance in his eyes. "Your very foundations are being stripped away, and you still want to negotiate terms? Perhaps the gods forgot to give you a brain when they created you. Understand, I'm not begging you."
Namea listened to the human's sarcastic voice, and her branches and leaves trembled in anger. However, she clenched her fists, hiding all her anger within her flesh and blood. She suppressed her tribe's anger and fear, raised her head, and asked him, "What is that place?"
Sal raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Nature is the best place in the world."
But the tree spirits had learned from humans that good things don't come out of nowhere. This man, who had quietly entered the slave camp, might be sending them to another hell. They suspected that if they angered him, he would uproot them.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, a soft female voice came from afar, "Sal, the boss said we should be polite to future colleagues."
The tree spirits looked up and were all stunned. It was a very beautiful human woman, whose hair was even thicker than that of the tree spirits. What was even more rare was that she had a very gentle power that immediately reminded them of the warm and moist wind in the forest.
"My name is Chi Xiaozhen." The woman stepped forward and said, "We are employees of Fantasy Park. We are here to recruit employees according to the instructions of the park owner. Sal's temper is just annoying. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Sal glared at her immediately, but Chi Xiaozhen ignored him.
When they saw Chi Xiaozhen, the tree spirits' expressions relaxed a little, because in their impression, human women would not look at them with such disgusting and obscene eyes.
"Sal didn't explain it clearly to you. My boss opened an amusement park and is in need of a lot of staff for the children's area. After our investigation, we found that tree spirits are the most suitable choice. If you agree, the park will provide you with nutritious land and will not restrain you with iron chains. Your daily work will be to care for and accompany the children in their play."
There is no such thing as paradise in this world. When the tree spirits heard the words "for people to enjoy", they collectively thought of those filthy and disgusting places like brothels and arenas. Their faces changed in unison. How was this different from their current situation? But after hearing the following words, they realized that they seemed to have misunderstood something, and their eyes gradually changed from anger to confusion.
Namea's gaze lingered on Sar and Chi Xiaozhen for a moment, her tone revealing sarcasm. "You know full well how humans treat us. Aren't you afraid that we might take children hostage?"
Chi Xiaozhen smiled gently, "Tree spirits are a peace-loving species. Moreover, as the leader of the tree spirits, I think you should have noticed that we are not stained with any tree spirit blood."
Yes, this is the real reason why Nameia is willing to talk to them. Although the tree spirits are weak in force, as a unique race, they have their own innate extraordinary powers. Anyone who has killed or abused a tree spirit will be marked with the tree spirit's mark, and this mark can only be seen by Nameia, the leader.
"We guarantee that none of the guests you need to entertain will have ever harmed a tree spirit. We can also treat you with equality and respect, and this can be reflected in the actual contract. We will come again tonight, but time is running out, so please consider it carefully. Believe me, anywhere is better than here."
As soon as they finished speaking, the man and woman turned into a streak of light and disappeared in front of the astonished gazes of the tree spirits.
After making sure they had disappeared, a tree spirit beside Namea said, "Chief, do you want to agree to them? They look very powerful."
Namea remained silent, her gaze fixed on the several members of her tribe who had already conceived fruit. A tree spirit in this state would certainly not want to bear offspring. These fruits were left behind after despicable humans had forcibly pollinated them. The fruits were nearing maturity, with a few barely visible cracks on their skin. When the time was right, new members of the tribe would peel back the skin and emerge.
Namea said, "What that male human said was true."
Although the tree spirits became slaves, they never thought of surrendering. In this almost desperate situation, they still dug their roots deep into the ground and continued to extend far away. Namea, as the most powerful tree spirit, had the most numerous and complex roots, which had extended beyond the slave camp and had discovered what was happening in the alien school.
There are plants everywhere in this world, and the roots of plants underground are countless. Humans look down on them, but they don’t know that even a weed on the roadside can become their eyes.
After receiving the affirmation from the tribe leader, the tree spirits immediately fell into anxiety. The pregnant tree spirit even caressed the fruit on her body lovingly, her eyes full of pain.
"If that's the case, I would rather pick the fruit in advance." The tree spirit's body can become a slave, but it will never allow its mind to be enslaved.

Time passed in a flash, and the slave camp was plunged into the dark night. Only the patrolling guards were still walking back and forth with torches.
When Raymond returned to the barracks after a day of patrol, he saw a piece of paper on the table, which was not there before he left.
Raymond thought it was left by a colleague who came to visit, so he picked it up casually and glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Raymond, long time no see. How about we play an exciting game tonight and blow up the camp? - Sal
Raymond's eyes widened when he saw the familiar name on the signature. He immediately picked up his weapon and rushed out, but the soldiers guarding around said that no one had entered or left his room.
During this period of time, Raymond had been stamping his feet in anger whenever he thought of this liar. How could he let this opportunity go? He immediately organized his soldiers to search everywhere, but they found nothing. Instead, everyone was exhausted and complained.
Damn it, have I been cheated by that liar again?
Just as Raymond was thinking this, a familiar voice rang out frivolously, "My good friend Raymond, long time no see."
Raymond was furious. Who was his good friend?
He turned around immediately and saw Thrall walking out from the shadows.
"You despicable liar, how dare you show up?"
Thrall looked quite puzzled. "What do you mean by liar? How did I lie to you? If you mean the audience with the Queen, I was helpless and left because I had more important things to do. I didn't think you would be angry over such a trivial matter."
"It's a small matter?" Raymond drew his knife and pointed it at him, mocking him, "The church was set ablaze with gunpowder by heretics, and you lied to me that it was your extraordinary ability. You damned little thief, today I will definitely..."
Before Raymond could finish, Sal interrupted him with a wave of his hand. His lazy tone seemed to have a strange power that made people listen involuntarily. "Who told you that I was lying to you?" Then, he opened his mouth and uttered a word in front of Raymond's wide eyes, "Bang!"
The next moment, there was a loud bang, and a hole was blown in the stone wall surrounding the slave camp. The afterglow of the explosion ignited the nearby barracks, and the flames were as bright as the sun in the dark night.
Raymond was shocked, but because of the previous experience, he still couldn't believe it. "This is impossible. You must have buried the gunpowder in advance."
"Really?" Sal said again: "Bang."
This time, it was the room Raymond had been in before that was blown up. In Raymond's wide eyes, Thrall was like a naughty child. While he was spitting out a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, the walls of the slave camp were filled with horrible explosions one after another. Flames lit up from all directions, and all the soldiers stood up in fear. After all, they were just ordinary people and could not deal with such a powerful transcendent. What was worse was that as gaps were blown in the walls of the camp, countless slaves became restless and were trying to break free one after another to escape.
Just as the slave camp fell into chaos, Chi Xiaozhen came before the tree spirits and asked, "Have you decided?"
It was such a coincidence that Namea immediately connected the chaos in the camp to them. She said, "We agree, but there is one condition."
Chi Xiaozhen tilted her ear as if listening.
Namea: "My people can go with you, but I need to go to the forest."
Chi Xiaozhen smiled gently, "We can sign a contract, but you have to walk the way to the forest by yourself. I can only help you leave the camp."
Namea agreed. Suddenly, a sharp axe appeared in Chi Xiaozhen's hand. Before the axe struck the iron chain, she sighed and said, "Namea, Fantasyland is definitely a paradise for you. If one day you regret it, you can call out the name of Fantasyland."
Namea's eyes flashed, "Just calling out will get a response?"
Chi Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Yes, if you call, you will get a response."
…
On the other side, Thrall jumped back to avoid Raymond's knife. He turned his head to look in the direction of the tree spirit and suddenly said, "The game is over, I should go." Then, in front of Raymond's shocked sight, he turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.

The character card had indeed been upgraded, but Chi Yi was exhausted from manipulating two character cards simultaneously with high precision. He looked at the two character cards and thought, "Hurry up and turn them into real people! Your dad is so short of manpower."
As for the tree spirits, they had already signed a contract and were transported to his paradise through the inter-realm teleportation array. Chi Yizhen rubbed his hands and said, it's time to build a children's playground.
As for the tree spirits who had just arrived and were full of vigilance and anxiety about the unfamiliar environment, Chi Yizheng had been so busy that he had forgotten about the need to comfort them.
