Dawn Spider

Chapter 146 The Divinely Gifted Seed of the Weeping Cherry (Fourth Update)

"Lord of Huangying Mountain~"

Flying low in the strong winds, I shouted with my spiritual power from a distance of seven or eight hundred meters.

The insects under the tree had long noticed the signs of the strong wind.

"You are……"

"I am Dafeng, the Dragonfly Warrior from the Red-Headed Termite Kingdom. You may not recognize me, but you've probably heard of this lightning-type mutated Flame Spider Warrior with me, right?"

"A lightning-type mutated Flame Spider Warrior?"

"I've heard of it!"

"His name is 'Jin'? And he has a younger brother named 'Yin'?"

"I heard that when the Wood Spirit Calamity broke out last time, two little Flame Spiders came to Ivory Island to join in the fun."

"I heard they also captured a divinely bestowed evil spirit born from a mutated wild taro seed that had been parasitized by a wood spirit?"

"The most amazing thing is that the divinely bestowed evil spirit is intelligent, obeys commands, and can release wood-type abilities to assist the growth and evolution of primal force plants!"

"..."

Upon being prompted, the insects under the tree all said they had heard of the name 'Gold,' and even more had heard of the divinely bestowed evil spirit, a strange life form that overturned their understanding.

The two islands of Borneo and Ivory Coast combined have only seven or eight thousand insects. The vast majority of them are busy farming, and there are very few news events on a daily basis. If anything unusual or new happens, everyone will ponder it repeatedly.

"That's right, it's the Flame Spider Warrior, Jin."

Dafeng and Jin quickened their pace and arrived at the tree.

The three Thornfire Warriors in the arena are all at the Mountain Lord level.

Jin's eyes darted around and immediately locked onto one of them.

He possessed a strong aura of primal energy and appeared to be quite old, which matched the description of the 'Lord of Huangying Mountain'.

"what!"

Master Huang Ying praised, "This little guy has a very high talent for the Force! He recognized me at a glance."

The Yellow Cherry Mountain Master pointed and introduced, "This is Purple Cherry, and this is Rock Vine."

Jin immediately greeted, "Greetings, Lord Ziying Mountain! Greetings, Lord Yanteng Mountain!"

The Yellow Cherry Mountain Lord nodded repeatedly, enthusiastically introducing, "These five are warriors of the Leaf Locust Tribe: the Great Leaf Mountain Lord, the Hollow Leaf Mountain Lord, the White Leaf Mountain Lord, and the Eucalyptus Leaf Mountain Lord..."

Greet each other when you meet and introduce yourselves.

Master Huang Yingshan took the initiative to ask, "Jin, I heard that last time you obtained a device from an alien civilization to process divinely bestowed food at the Cyathea Mountain ruins?"

Jin replied, "Yes!"

Lord Huangying raised his antennae, pointing to the cherry tree laden with fruit above his head, and asked, "I heard you were buying these divinely bestowed seeds with fruit pulp in the Flame Spider Kingdom? So quickly, the trade has reached our Ivory Island?"

"Yes...cooperation...cooperation..."

Jin said, "I understand the island's customs, and we certainly can't break them. We only accept the fruit of those divinely bestowed seeds whose flesh is wasted because there are no insects to eat it."

Da Feng said, "The six Zerg warriors should eat first. It would be a waste if they couldn't finish it all. They could consider cooperating with us to process it into the kind of divinely bestowed food found in the ruins."

"it is good!"

Lord Huangying readily agreed, saying, "You've come at just the right time. In recent years, fewer and fewer Zerg warriors have come to my territory. Many fruits have been peeled off and thrown away, which pains me to see."

"We feel sorry for them too."

"Everyone felt sorry for them."

"It's a pity indeed."

"What a pity."

"..."

The insects, eager for a free meal, immediately chimed in.

Lord Huangying said, "I'm not a miser. Warriors who need it can eat first. Jin and Dafeng, you can take it to be processed."

"Ok!"

"Thank you, Master Huangying!"

Jin and Dafeng agreed.

The group of soldiers who got a free meal were secretly delighted.

Jin proactively stated, "Our rule is that the profits generated will be split equally between the two parties."

"no problem!"

Master Huangying readily agreed, saying, "Based on my experience, the fruit will ripen by tomorrow evening. You will need to wait a while."

"no problem."

"Ok."

Jin and Dafeng agreed.

The deal was struck easily.

This kind of business is still quite easy to do; who wouldn't want to increase their profits?
…As the fruit nears ripening, its fragrance permeates the forest, attracting various small animals.

A group of Zerg warriors scattered in all directions to drive them away.

...

The next day at dusk.

The cherries on the tree quickly changed color from a bright, juicy red to a jet-black.

As night fell, the fruit turned completely into a deep, dark black color.

Gold manipulates spider silk and silk bags to aid in the harvest.

The fruit is not large.

A large, lush tree, just over 100 meters tall, produces only 4863 seeds.

Lord Huangying gave each of the six Zerg warriors who had freeloaded 300 pills, leaving 63 for later use.

The 3000 pieces were packed into a large bag and transported back to Sikui Mountain for processing overnight due to strong winds.

Jin stayed behind as a 'spider' and chatted with everyone.

During the conversation, it was learned that the Leaf Locust tribe had more than 150 members and was a force to be reckoned with on Ivory Island. They also had two divinely bestowed seeds that were very suitable for processing. Led by the Lords of Big Leaf and Hiiragi Leaf Mountain, the Leaf Locust warriors warmly invited Jin to their tribe to trade.

Jin Xinran agreed.

...

The next morning,

Dafeng returned carrying a large bag of spider silk.

Upon opening, a large bag contained smaller bags; one bag held the peeled Divine Gift Drooping Cherry seeds, while the other held a gene-editing agent storage box.

First, count the divinely bestowed cherry blossoms; there are definitely 3000.

Then take out the gene agent storage box, open it, take out a gene agent container, open it again, and inside are 12 flat, round, compressed preparations.

Jin manipulated the spider silk, picked up a grain, examined it closely, sensed its properties, and directly estimated its value: "A single grain is worth approximately 260 raw stones. There are 12 here, so the total value is 3120 raw stones. Lord Huangying, you do the math, is the amount correct?"

Master Huang Yingshan had already silently calculated the situation in his mind and replied, "No problem!"

Jin manipulated the spider silk, wrapped it with a divinely bestowed cherry gene agent, and handed it to the other insects present, so that everyone could see it.

After passing it around, the container was taken back and neatly tidied up.

“Lord Huangying Mountain, I am short of funds for trading this year, so please keep this metal box for now. Next spring, I will bring you earth-elemental divine food to exchange for it. Once I have the box, I will give it to the Wood Spider King so that it can use it to make up the difference or give change when it goes to the Southern Continent to trade.”

"Okay! I want earth-type, petrifying, god-given food..."

Overjoyed, the master of Huangying Mountain instinctively agreed, then, realizing what was happening, hurriedly waved his antennae.

"This metal treasure chest must be quite valuable, right?"

"It's not expensive, but artifacts created by alien civilizations are quite rare. Please keep it safe, Lord Huangying. You can return it to me next spring. The password is eleven '0's, which is easy to remember."

“Scarcity equals value, so this doesn’t quite fit my situation.”

Master Huangyingshan's thoughts raced. He took the box, opened it, and retrieved the divinely bestowed weeping cherry gene agent. He exclaimed grandly:
"Lord of Mount Da Ye, Lord of Mount Dong Ye, come here, each of you take two pills and share them. Jin, Da Feng, take the metal treasure chest."

Jin began to look at this old mountain lord with new respect.

These freeloaders have a close relationship with Master Huangying Mountain. They'll definitely come back next year, and the year after that, until they've eaten their fill.

It would be better to give this year's output to them, so they can eat their fill sooner, making subsequent transactions much easier.

"Master Huangying, how could I possibly accept this..."

"Master Huangying Mountain is so generous!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Huangying!"

"..."

With hearts filled with praise and gratitude, the six warriors unceremoniously divided the 12 gene serum pills among themselves and ate them on the spot.

"..."

Jin and Dafeng packed up, chatted with everyone for a few more minutes, and then said goodbye and left.

...

Return to the North Slope Fortress and report the situation to Lord Famu.

Next, through the introduction of Lord Ironwood, Lord Famu led Jin and Dafeng to visit the various peaks on both sides of the canyon and negotiated a processing deal for six divine seeds of different sizes.

After completing the round trip, it's already February. The team heading to the southern continent for trading will depart in mid-February.

They set off south without stopping to visit the Great Poison Armor Tribe of Partridge Mountain.

Further south, we visited the Tiger Beetle tribe of Nine-Winged Mountain, the Six-Section Stag Beetle tribe of Dragon Horn Mountain, and the Two-Colored Cockroach tribe of Ebony Mountain.

Over the next year, Jin and Dafeng mainly focused on finalizing the deals negotiated by the seven tribes of Ivory Island, familiarizing themselves with the island's geography, and gradually expanding their trade by trying to contact other Zerg warriors outside the seven tribes, moving from north to south.

The strong winds returned to the red-headed ant kingdom first.

Lord Famu returned to Mount Sikui with Jin to make preparations.
