Dawn Spider

Chapter 142, First Stop: Wuchao Mountain

Escorted by an army of 30,000 termites, they left the termite kingdom's territory.

The wind was overjoyed, hovering low in the sky, and asked, "Lord Famu, where to next? Wuchao Mountain, to visit the Horned Longhorn Beetle tribe?"

"of course."

Lord Famu asked, "Great Wind, do you often go to Wuchao Mountain?"

Dafeng replied, “Every year during the trading season when the white bottlebrush flowers bloom, I go to Wuchao Mountain with Huotong and Baiye to trade. I made many insect friends there and occasionally visited their tribes.”

"Oh--"

Lord Famu praised, "Very good!"

In many tribes, knowing many native insects can greatly facilitate trade.

Jin asked, "Dafeng, do you know which tribes have divinely bestowed seeds of fleshy fruits such as berries, drupes, citrus fruits, and pears?"

Dafeng replied, "I know two places. The Longhorn Beetle tribe has a Blood Fruit Vine, a divinely bestowed seed, you know that, right?"

"Of course!"

Lord Famu replied.

Dafeng continued, "I also know of one that belongs to the Yanggan Mountain Lord of the Hairy Grub Beetle Tribe. It has a divinely bestowed seed of Yanggan, which has an exceptionally large amount of pulp."

Upon hearing "Mountain Lord," Jin Xin felt slightly disappointed.

The yield difference between a Mountain Lord-level and a Lord-level Divine Seed is three to five times that of the same divinely bestowed seed.

Jin asked, "Is there still strong wind?"

"There are definitely more, but I don't know."

Da Feng said, "In nature, there are many plants with a lot of pulp. However, because the pulp takes away a lot of the fruit's energy and is particularly prone to pests and diseases, most Zerg warriors do not cultivate such plants on a large scale. Therefore, such divinely bestowed seeds are relatively rare."

"The Red-headed Termite Kingdom is an exception. But even as an exception, it only cultivates rose apple trees in large quantities in the central area near Apple Mountain. Further out, there are more pods, capsules, follicles, nuts and other dried fruit plants."

This is true.

On Borneo, the entire Flame Spider tribe is like this.

The only four trees bearing this divinely bestowed seed with exceptionally abundant fruit were all found in the wild jungle.

This topic has become a bit demoralizing.

Jin said, "Some pods and nuts can also be squeezed to extract some kernels. Each pod can earn one or two thousand, or two or three thousand raw stones. If you have a lot of them, the income will be quite considerable."

"Yes!"

Da Feng chimed in, saying, "We can use equipment to process them and extract some profitable dried fruits from the divinely bestowed seeds. I know quite a bit about that, I know..."

Da Feng racked his brains, counting silently in his mind, and said, "Lord Famu, Jin, I know 26 trees! Moreover, 18 of them are lord-level."

--Hey!

Lord Famu and Jin's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Is the giant dragonfly a social butterfly?

Jin asked, "Dafeng, how do you know so much?"

Dafeng said matter-of-factly, "My main duty in the Red-Headed Termite Kingdom is aerial reconnaissance! I have reconnoitered the entire area within a 200-kilometer radius of Wuchao Mountain."

Jin glanced sideways and asked jokingly, "What is the Red-Headed Termite Kingdom planning? To attack Wuchao Mountain?"

"Uh……"

"No."

"I wouldn't dare."

Da Feng hurriedly explained, "I was practicing my reconnaissance skills and saw it by accident."

"It does not matter."

Jin asked, "How many of the Zerg warriors behind these 26 God-given Seeds do you know? Or how many do you know indirectly?"

Da Feng replied guiltily, "I don't know any directly yet, but I know several indirectly."

"..."

several?

Damn! He's still a good-for-nothing!
Jin said, "Dafeng, you can spend more time and energy getting to know more insects. Or do some scouting to see which places have suitable places for processing and trading the God-given Seeds, and we'll go visit them. Be proactive at work. As agreed, if the revenue from Ivory Island exceeds 30, I'll promote you and give you a raise."

The wind flapped its wings vigorously and replied, "I understand! No problem!"

Lord Famu led the way; let's hurry on our journey.

There was silence for a while.
Suddenly, Da Feng seemed to remember something and kindly reminded him, "Jin, although you have awakened your abilities, you still need to be careful when traveling."

Jin asked, "Other Zerg warriors? Are there Zerg that are robbing people on Ivory Island?"

No. There isn't.

The strong wind lowered the flight altitude, hovering beside the golden body, and said, "The Zerg warriors wouldn't attack you without reason, much less rob you on the road. I'm referring to the Fiend."

"Last time, the Tree Fern Mountain Ruins unearthed the Wood Spirit Calamity, but at the same time, many insects made a fortune in the ruins. Especially the Great Poison Armor Tribe, I heard that the Eshu Insect King alone received more than a hundred boxes of divinely bestowed primal force food, worth hundreds of millions, and the entire tribe soared to the heavens with it."

"Nowadays, the warriors originally assigned to the northern part of Ivory Island Kingdom to hunt down evil spirits have all lost their focus on their work and have all gone to the Cyathea Mountain Ruins to dig for treasure. They didn't manage to wipe out the wood-type evil spirits last time. During last year's fog surge, they were even worse, simply sweeping through the area and then leaving it all to our Red-Headed Termite Kingdom to deal with."

"We only have two combat advisors, which is far from enough to handle. Therefore, there are still a large number of fog tide evil spirits wandering around."

"..."

So many years have passed, why are you still digging?

It's already quite illogical to find a factory that processes Force food in a city where ordinary people live.

It is impossible to find any other important relics related to the Force Warriors.

Jin Siwei suddenly had an idea.

Looking back, at the Human Race Dojo, is there a legal way to retrieve the 'Meditation Futon' awarded to the eighteen-year-old Yagura Primordial Ancestor?
Jin didn't take the evil spirits Da Feng mentioned too seriously. After a while, he would be able to evolve into a 3-year-old advanced warrior, possessing the abilities of Blink, Banishment, and Fission Purple Lightning, which would be enough to handle most evil spirits.

Flame Spiders have eight legs; even if they can't win a fight on land, they can definitely outrun it.

Jin Geng, concerned about the ruins, asked, "Is the King of Eshu Insects also digging?"

"They're definitely digging!"

Da Feng said, "Moreover, I heard from Zi Feng that the Stone Beetle King of their Longhorn Beetle tribe has also joined the Eshu Beetle King's team. They have also recruited many insect warriors with earth and water elemental talents to explore everywhere."

Jin asked, "Did you find anything?"

"That's unknown."

Da Feng said, "I reckon that those who dig them up won't tell the other insects, unless they can't hide them anymore."

Lord Famu said, "I haven't heard of any discoveries."

Lord Famu participated in trade in the Southern Continent and became acquainted with many warriors from the Horned Longhorn Beetle and the Great Poison Armor tribe. If Lord Famu hadn't heard of this, it likely meant he hadn't gained anything.

Lord Famu admonished, "Jin, Dafeng, you two, don't go towards the Cyathea Mountain unless you have to. In the Southern Continent, countless insects try to get rich by exploiting the ruins of alien civilizations, but in the end, without exception, they all die of old age. On Ivory Island, the last time was an accident that only happens once in ten thousand years. You're lucky if you encounter something like this once in your life; there won't be a next time."

"Making a fortune from relics is a pipe dream, unrealistic. When it comes to trading, just do it steadily and diligently. A steady and consistent income is better than anything else."

"clear."

"Ok."

Jin and Dafeng agreed.

Lord Famu said, "Let me tell you about the basic situation of Wuchao Mountain. Wuchao Mountain doesn't have many insects, but their strength should not be underestimated..."

...

...

Ivory Island runs north-south and is roughly arc-shaped. At its northernmost point, it turns east, which is the 'northernmost point' where the Red-headed Termite Kingdom is located, less than 100 kilometers from the Sea of ​​Fog.

The Cyathea Mountain ruins are located southwest of the Red-headed Termite Kingdom, about 400 kilometers away in a straight line, which is the northwest end of the island.

About 100 kilometers south of the Cyathea Mountain ruins lies Wuchao Mountain, where the Longhorn Beetle tribe was located.

Starting from the Red-headed Termite Kingdom, head straight towards Wuchao Mountain; the distance is approximately 500 kilometers.

We set off close to noon and approached late at night.

Resting overnight in the wild,
The following morning, Lord Famu approached with Jin and Dafeng.

"Lord of the Meridian!"

"Lord Midnight!"

Lord Famu shouted with a powerful mental force.

"Famu!"

A spiritual force responded from the mountain.

Jin had met the Noon Lord and the Midnight Lord when he last visited Wuchao Mountain, and was familiar with their spiritual power. He responded to the Midnight Lord.

The Lord of Midnight is a junior of the King of Stone Insects. He possesses a divinely bestowed seed, a mutated midday flower, named 'Midnight Flower'.

The standard fire-type enhancement yields only average production and quality, making it the least profitable Divine Seed.

The Meridian Lord only managed to evolve into a lord with the help of the Stone Insect King.

The Lord of Midnight cultivated the Midnight Flower and then bred a new variant, named the 'Midnight Flower'. This gave birth to a divinely bestowed seed, which he gave to his descendant as a life seed, namely the Lord of Midnight.

Lord Midnight met Lord Famu while participating in a trade in the Southern Continent.

"Famu!"

Lord Midnight burst out from the woods on the east side of the mountain path.

"Greetings, Lord Midnight!"

Gold and strong winds greeted them at the same time.

"Spider Gold!"

Lord Midnight also recognized Jin, and responded by shaking his antennae. He looked up at the strong wind hovering low in the sky and said, "Little dragonfly, you should thank me. It was I who recommended you to Lord Famu."

Dafeng decisively replied, "Thank you for your promotion, Lord Midnight!"

Lord Midnight then looked at Jin and asked, "So, little spider, have you reached an agreement with the Red-Headed Termite Kingdom?"

Jin replied, "It's settled. Thank you for your consideration, Lord Midnight."

"No need to thank me. I was just asking around."

Lord Midnight swayed his tentacles and said, “The life seeds of Lord Meridian and me can also extract a little primal energy. I agree on behalf of Lord Meridian. Every year on November 10th… Lord-level divine-given seeds can more effectively control the ripening and harvesting time of the fruit, so it’s fine to come two or three days earlier or later.”

"Ok."

"understand!"

Jin and Dafeng agreed.

Da Feng asked, "Is the Lord of Purple Wind Mountain here? His Purple Wind Trumpet Tree divine seed can also yield some profit."

Lord Midnight replied, "It's in the southern woodlands. Go find it yourselves."

Lord Famu waved his paw and said, "Jin, you and Dafeng go and talk to Zifeng. I'll have a word with Lord Ziye."

"Ok!"

Jin agreed.

A gentle breeze flapped its wings, and it ascended vertically, circling high above the ground, surveying the surroundings before descending again, calling out:

"Jin, this way, come with me!"
