The chieftain of the Botian Clan gestured to his people, and some clansmen with high affinity for wood elements stepped forward, each holding a piece of wood element crystal. They approached the wood element spirits, hoping to quell their anger and perhaps even gain their favor.
This approach seemed to be quite effective. Some wood elemental spirits calmed down considerably when they saw the wood elemental crystals being handed over. This was their favorite food, something they rarely saw, and they hadn't had such a thing for a long time, especially since they were trapped in this small world.
Even if some appear occasionally, they are usually on the leaders of the elemental spirits, and it is difficult for them to be distributed to ordinary elemental spirits.
"Hehe! Don't be afraid, we are friends! We won't hurt you!" The chief of the Botian Clan laughed confidently. He believed that given enough time, he could definitely attract away a large number of elemental spirits with the elemental crystals in his hands.
"Roar~~~" The wood elemental spirits looked at the elemental crystals in their hands. After a brief hesitation, one of the spirits finally couldn't resist and stretched out a vine towards their hands, giving the elemental crystal to its familiar.
The members of the Botian Clan did not take any action in response, but allowed the other party to take the elemental crystal. Trust must be built step by step. How can you deliver something and then go to a hotel right away? The Botian Clan chief believed that he understood this principle well.
Even though we can't go to the hotel, at least we can chat a bit more and build up our relationship, right?
After the elemental crystals were taken from several members of the Botian Clan, they tentatively approached the wood elemental spirits. At this time, the wood elemental spirits were immersed in the joy of absorbing wood elemental energy and ignored the approach of the group. This made the members of the Botian Clan immediately happy, and some of them even touched the wooden elemental bodies of the wood elemental spirits.
"Well done!" the chieftain of the Botian Clan thought excitedly. This was a first step forward. If they could continue, they would eventually be able to get these wood elemental spirits to the hotel—no, the starship.
"Go and check the surrounding area. Don't let those people from the Primordial Star come and obstruct us. Be careful not to provoke the elemental spirits. Tell me immediately if anything happens!" After seeing the situation, the Botian Clan Chief said to the remaining people.
He believed that given enough time, the Botian Clan would definitely be able to bring back a lot of elemental spirits, provided that no one interfered, especially those people from the Primordial Star. If they came and took away the elemental spirits before the emotional bond between the Botian Clan and the elemental spirits was established, then all their efforts would have been in vain.
"Yes, sir!" The members of the Botian Clan accepted the order and went to their respective places. Their clan leader, however, stared intently at the clansmen mingling with the wood elemental spirits ahead, already anticipating the changes they would bring to their territory once they were brought back.
Although Zixuan and the others did not come over, they were still very clear about what was happening here. They looked in the direction of the Wood Element Forest but did not make any move. They just smiled slightly and did not take these things to heart.
Seeing the success of the Botian Clan, other races were also tempted and began to try to emerge from their hiding places to contact the hordes of elemental spirits. Some succeeded like the Botian Clan, while many others failed or even incurred the wrath of the elemental spirits.
These people were too hasty. A large group of them rushed forward, which startled the elemental spirits. Anyone would think they were there to rob them, not to offer help.
In the end, it was Zixuan who intervened and gradually calmed the anger of these elemental spirits.
Of course, these races were too ashamed to stay any longer and left one after another, but in reality, they hid themselves again nearby. Now, all the elemental spirits of the small world were converging on this side, and they would have no chance if they went elsewhere, so they might as well wait here and try.
In contrast, the Botian Clan and other races that had successfully infiltrated the elemental spirits were much more gloating. They watched with great interest as these people were driven away. They had originally thought that Zixuan would come over and say a few words to them to persuade them to leave. They had even thought of reasons to stay and simulated the conversation countless times in their minds. However, Zixuan only glanced at them indifferently before returning to the seaside to continue settling the hundreds of millions of elemental spirits.
After a week of building rapport, the members of the Botian Clan were now able to move freely in the territory of the wood elemental spirits, and even get close to them to play. Of course, they still needed elemental crystals as a stepping stone most of the time.
Meanwhile, seeing the success here, the chieftain of the Botian Clan gradually turned his attention to elemental spirits of other attributes and arranged for people to replicate the same method.
Anyway, according to everyone's agreement, they can stay in this small world for another week, and perhaps they will have a chance to catch a few elemental spirits of other attributes.
However, while they were making contact with the elemental spirits, Zi Xuan and Qing'er had already received a message from Ye Zhen and Tao Ping that they were going to start loading these elemental spirits onto the truck.
Elemental spirits are invisible matter, and a single starship could tow away hundreds of millions of them. However, given the sheer number, loading them onto trucks became a difficult task. Moreover, since the elemental spirits needed to be appeased, this was something that only a few of them could handle.
As for the elemental spirits on Zhao Wu's side, he would naturally take care of them. Xu Changqing's starship would directly receive the elemental spirits encountered in various parts of the small world and would not return. The remaining ones were the island where Qing'er was and the beach where Zi Xuan was.
As starships docked, large groups of elemental spirits walked into them. Seeing this, the races that had been trying to woo the elemental spirits became anxious. Apart from a few confident races, many races had only been cultivating relationships with the elemental spirits for a few days and were not yet ready to persuade them to stay.
Seeing this, many races, in their eagerness to achieve quick results, even summoned their own starships, attempting to kidnap these elemental spirits. This immediately enraged a large number of elemental spirits, and under the furious elemental bombardment, several starships were destroyed.
In the end, it was Zixuan who stepped in again and calmed down the elemental spirits. At the same time, her gentle yet angry voice swept around and reached everyone's ears.
"I don't care what you're doing! But please remember, the fate of the elemental spirits is their own choice. If anyone dares to forcibly take them away and ultimately incurs the wrath of the elements, you will be left to fend for yourselves!"
