Dawn Spider

Chapter 148 Evolution, Two-Colored Spider Silk!
Termites have a strong sense of territory.

The secret order ant queen marked the territories allocated to Gold and Wind and issued instructions that ordinary worker ants and soldier ants would not trespass.

Knowing that Jin was preparing for an evolution, Da Feng and the four Zuo Wangs would not disturb Jin unless there was nothing else to do.

...

With 100,000 raw gems in his claw, Jin plans to use them all during his second-generation advanced warrior stage.

Nighttime meditation maximizes the use of Primal Stones for acceleration.

In the morning, I used the divinely provided food and rested to digest and absorb it.

I did some light exercise in the afternoon to warm up, and then started meditating early in the morning.

In this way, 1500 raw stones can be digested in a day.

As life forms grow and evolve, there will always be a return for any resource investment, and the space system of gold is rapidly improving.

...

Lord Famu, along with Jin and Dafeng, negotiated a total of 57 divinely bestowed seeds with the seven major tribes.

Most of the fruit ripens and is harvested in March, April, and May, while some ripens in October and November.

A small portion ripens in other months.

There are two trees in February, one in the Polei Grand Canyon, belonging to the Red Firefly tribe, and the other in the southernmost Ebony Mountain, belonging to the Two-Colored Cockroach tribe.

Jin was new to the area and unfamiliar with the environment, and since this was their first formal collaboration, they couldn't afford any mishaps. Both Jin and Dafeng set off two days in advance, trekking through mountains and rivers to arrive ahead of time and successfully complete the transaction.

Entering March,

Transactions began to become more frequent.
The island is 1600 kilometers long and narrow. The trade route runs from the northernmost point to the south, and a lot of time is spent on the journey.

Jin and Dafeng spend most of their time running around outside.

Evolution was severely delayed.

By mid-June, Jin had finally used up all 10 raw stones.

The evolution from 2-year-old to 3-year-old resulted in a reduction of the planned 6 Primal Foods to enhance overall physique to 5.3. Correspondingly, Primal Stones were accelerated, and with more than a year of nighttime meditation, the Space system occupied the equivalent of 7000 Primal Stones of God-given Primal Foods for enhancement.

In addition, visual perception, physical energy storage, and spider silk strength each account for 1 units of the divinely bestowed primal force food.

Jin felt extremely good. After exchanging a few words with Dafeng and Zuo Wang Huotong, he made some simple preparations and went to sleep in the cave bedroom.

...

Wake up from deep sleep.

Shedding its old shell, the body expands, and the newly formed carapace hardens rapidly.

A 3-year-old advanced Flame Spider Warrior!

Jin immediately sensed the primal energy within his body.

The upper limit of the original energy reserves of both the space system and the lightning system has been greatly increased.

The mental energy spread out in a linear pattern, with a maximum detection range exceeding 350 meters.

He withdrew his mental energy and scanned himself, revealing that he was over 1.8 meters tall, with a physique comparable to that of a human warrior.

Jin stood up, focused his mental energy on the living room of the cave, and with a thought, his figure flashed and he appeared directly in the living room.

"The flashing distance has exceeded 10 meters!"

Jin Daxi, his mind racing, moved swiftly between the living room and bedroom until the space's energy was exhausted.

"Each time you blink and move 10 meters close to the limit, you can activate it 7 times in a row."

"If I control the blink teleportation distance to 5 meters, I should be able to activate it at least 20 times, which is equivalent to teleporting 100 meters at top speed."

"The 10 raw stones are not a waste; they're more than enough to deal with ordinary evil spirits."

Jin was very satisfied with the improvement to the space system.

This evolution also focused on enhancing vision and spider silk.

Flame spiders have strong night vision but weak daytime vision. This time, the main focus was on enhancing their daytime vision. It was only in a cave that they could be tested, and the results are expected to be quite good.

As for spider silk...

When Jin's thoughts turned to this point, a strange realization suddenly occurred to him.

As soon as the thought moves,
A blue-purple spider silk was drawn from the abdomen.

Blue-purple spider silk?
"Why?"

"After consistently strengthening the silk glands and enhancing the spider silk, and reaching the maximum level of strengthening, have we broken through some kind of limit?"

"Or is it still due to the mutation of the lightning-type talent?"

"Or perhaps both?"

Jin pondered for a moment, then with another thought, he pulled out another spider silk.

It's not quite normal pale white, semi-transparent spider silk.

The thought crossed my mind again.

Two thick spider silk threads floated out.

One is bluish-purple, and the other is white and translucent.

It can now spit out two colors of spider silk!

The thought crossed his mind again, and he extracted two extremely fine spider silk threads to examine them.

The finest spider silk is even finer, sharper, and stronger, representing a qualitative leap in quality.

Jin tried to inject the Force again...

The silk of the flame spider is very peculiar; it conducts primal force vertically but blocks it horizontally.

Manipulating spider silk allows one to transmit primal force along it, and weaving it into a spider silk bag, coating it with mucus, and drying it can isolate and block the loss of primal energy.

The two different colored spider silks have different energy conduction capabilities. The blue-purple spider silk conducts almost 100% lightning energy, while the semi-transparent white spider silk conducts spatial energy.

Spider silk has acquired primal energy properties!
Jin tried to infuse his spiritual energy.

It can now hold and store spiritual energy.

Spider silk has evolved into an energy material of exceptional quality and properties.

"gold?"

Da Feng had long sensed the commotion inside the cave, but had not yet come out. He cautiously scanned the cave with his spiritual energy and called out to it.

"Jin? Is he testing his abilities?"

Huo Tong followed up with questions.

“Yes!” Jin agreed, and in a flash appeared outside the cave, manipulating spider silk to clear away the dry firewood blocking the entrance.

"what!"

"This spider silk..."

Dafeng and Huotong Zuo Wang simultaneously noticed that the spider silk was the wrong color.

Jin briefly stated, "It's probably due to the extreme enhancement that the spider silk has been upgraded."

Da Feng pressed on, asking, "Ultimate enhancement?"

"Yes."

Jin explained, "I've always believed that the value of the Flame Spider Warriors' silk has been severely underestimated, especially its role in combat, which has been completely ignored. Therefore, I've been working hard to improve and enhance the silk. This time, it seems like there's been a qualitative change."

"..."

The strong wind and the fire tube remained silent.

The Flame Spider tribe had used many spider silk bags, but their understanding of spider silk was very limited. They had never heard of spider silk being able to fight or be strengthened, let alone that it would change after being strengthened to a certain level.

Fireball, being a combat strategist, was particularly interested in matters related to combat and asked, "Gold, how does spider silk fight?"

Without saying much, Jin extracted three-meter-long strands of extremely fine spider silk, condensed them into pellets less than one millimeter in size, and hid them under the bristles of the carapace.

This is just a demonstration; I'll stop once I've condensed 10 grains.

Aim at the pile of dry firewood at the entrance of the cave.
Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss...

A long string of sharp, piercing sounds filled the air as spider silk projectiles shot out, unfolded, and coiled.

Apply force and cut.

The large bundle of firewood collapsed and broke into pieces.

"Uh……"

Huo Tong choked back tears, but couldn't quite put his finger on it as praise: "Amazing!"

Da Feng asked, puzzled, "What's so powerful about it? An attack of that intensity wouldn't even break through the carapace of a typical Zerg warrior, would it?"

Jin calmly said, "As long as we can restrict the target's movements, that's fine."

Da Feng realized he had said the wrong thing again and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Amazing! Amazing!"

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The fire tube shook its antennae, and several small soldier ants stepped forward to gather the scattered firewood.

With a thought, the spider silk flew back. A thought suddenly occurred to Jin, and the five semi-transparent white spider silk re-condensed into a projectile, hovering in front of him.

After a slight gathering of energy, the primal energy within his body was activated.

exile!
Spider silk projectiles appeared out of thin air a hundred meters away and launched.

Jin was pleasantly surprised to find that banishing these spider silks, which possessed spatial energy properties, consumed negligible amounts of spatial energy.

I tried it again, and the banishment distance was the same as the maximum detection distance of mental power, more than 350 meters away.

"Great!"

Da Feng, after finding a new spot, said, "This is really amazing! A fire tube, don't you think?"

Fireball nodded seriously, saying, "This ability, when used in conjunction with thicker spider silk, can indeed produce unexpected and remarkable effects in battle."

Firearm bluntly pointed out the crux of the problem, saying, "The main issue is the power of the alien ability!"

"..."

"Ok."

Jin, unwilling to get bogged down in such a pointless question of whether something was impressive or not, said:

“On the Twin Islands of Sal, I have never heard of any spider that can spin silk of two colors. I am the only spider in the whole world, and the spider silk bag I weave is also unique…”

As Jin spoke, a question came to mind. His thoughts raced, and he silently calculated and deduced in his mind. Immediately, he drew out spider silk, and his chelicerae, forelegs, and forelegs and midlegs swung around in afterimages.

Soon, a delicate piece of spider silk cloth, 15 centimeters long and 8 centimeters wide, with a semi-transparent white background, printed with a blue-purple pokeweed pattern and a striking blue-purple number 10000, was woven.

"???"

The strong wind and the fire tube cast a questioning mental force.

Jin tried to infuse a wisp of spiritual energy and waited quietly for a long time to observe.

It won't be lost!

“The unique spider silk naturally possesses anti-counterfeiting properties. Its uses are endless! It can serve as an ‘IOU’ in transactions, or even a ‘currency’ for the circulation of goods…”

Da Feng, bewildered, exclaimed, "I don't understand at all!"

Jin gave a simple example: "Dafeng, suppose I do a transaction with you but I don't have enough funds and need to borrow 1 raw stones from you. To ensure that I will definitely repay it, I will make up an 'IOU' like this for you, representing that I owe you 1 raw stones. Next time, you can take this 'IOU' to me to repay it."

"Oh!"

"understood!"

Da Feng suddenly realized and said, "Because your spider silk is unique and no one can fake it, you must repay the money based on the spider silk IOU."

"That's right!"

Jin added a slightly more challenging point, saying, "For example, we agreed to repay it after one year, but what if you run into a shortage of raw stones within that year? Then you can take this 'IOU' to another insect and exchange it for a corresponding amount of raw stones."

"On my side, I've changed the rules accordingly. I don't recognize insects, I only recognize 'IOUs'. Whoever comes to me with an IOU can exchange it for 1 Primal Stones."

"Based on this rule, can't you also use the 'IOU' to exchange for Force food? Or to buy other things?"

"In this way, IOUs become liquid, and if they are widely recognized and used, they will have the attributes of 'universal currency'."

After thinking hard, Da Feng replied with great effort, "I understand..."

They clearly didn't understand.

Jin pondered his words carefully, but ultimately decided against giving Dafeng a more detailed explanation. He decided to try it out and experience it firsthand, and he would understand everything.

It's okay if you can't understand the underlying principles.

Zuo Wang Huotong seemed to understand and said, "Jin, this won't do, will it? You can weave these 'IOUs' indefinitely. According to your logic, you don't have to do anything; you can just weave 'IOUs' every day."

"That definitely won't work. Inflation will cause chaos, credibility will collapse, and the business will collapse..."

Jin waved his paw and said, "I'm still a 3-year-old advanced Flame Spider Warrior. It's too early to talk about that."

"Let's go, it's not dark yet, let's go visit the Secret Order Ant King."
