Dawn Spider

Chapter 149 Hairy Tube Beetle

有3棵神赐之种集中在6月22日至6月30日的9天时间内成熟采收。

Jin set off five days early, accompanied by strong winds.

It proceeds steadily, turning southwards.

Whenever he encountered a high mountain, Jin would climb to the top to survey the surrounding terrain and environment.

When the wind is strong, they fly high in the sky to survey the surroundings and report on the situation.

There's also a 'world map' on Ivory Island. But neither the map on Ivory Island nor the map on the Flame Spider Kingdom are detailed enough, and some are even inaccurate.

After achieving his breakthrough, Jin had a lot of free time, so he began to conduct on-site investigations and plan his business route.

...

"gold!"

The strong wind swirled and descended, running parallel to the gold at a height of 100 meters.

"This place is very close to the hairy beetle tribe. Shall we go and take a look?"

"The one you mentioned last time, the master of Mount Yugan, the divinely bestowed seed of the amla?"

"Yes!"

"you know?"

"I know a little about him."

"Explain in detail?"

"The settlement of the hairy-nosed golden beetle is called Ceylon Mountain. There are four golden beetle warriors: the Lord of Ceylon Mountain, the Lord of Yugan Mountain, Bai Ping, and Bai Xiang. It is a small tribe that has only been around for a little over a hundred years."

“Jin, according to your calendar, the divinely bestowed seeds of Phyllanthus emblica should mature and be harvested around the beginning of July. If we travel a little slower on our return trip, we'll just make it in time.”

"Such a small tribe..."

Jin said, "Come on, let's pay a visit while we're at it."

...

...

Vast plains and rainforests, natural lakes formed by river erosion.

The arc-shaped mountain range located beside the lake,

Down in the woodland, the vine trellises created by the earth element are neatly arranged, and various vine plants are planted on a large scale.

The plots of land are separated by tall trees such as Hopea chinensis, Ficus altissima, Rhododendron simsii, Pterocarya stenoptera, Prunus palmatum, Pterocarya stenoptera, and Amur cork trees to isolate pests and diseases and provide shade for the vines below.

A tribe of four Zerg warriors could hardly be called a tribe; they were simply wild Zerg warriors.

Thanks to the Earth-type talent of the hairy ball beetle, it is very good at farming.

"Lord of Ceylon!"

"Lord of Mount Yugan!"

The strong winds took the lead, flying low into the territory.

As Jin Xiaopao stepped onto the earthen and stone path of the vine garden, Dafeng brought four large and small hairy ball golden tortoise warriors to greet him.

It has a round body, and its head, chest, and six legs are covered with fine white fur, while its abdomen is covered with a layer of fish-scale-like armor.

The two larger ones are over 3 meters long, while the two smaller ones are nearly 2 meters long and only half a meter long, and are still mid-level soldiers.

"gold!"

"This is the Lord of Ceylon! He is the first hairy beetle warrior of Ceylon."

"This is the Master of Yugan Mountain."

“This is Bai Ping, he’s about the same age as you, he’s a level 4 advanced warrior.”

"This is Bai Xiang."

Greet each other when you meet.

The young soldier Bai Xiang said, "Jin, I know you. I also came from the Twin Islands of Sal."

Jin was still thinking about what to talk about during their conversation when, well, that's when the topic came up.

Jin Shunshi asked, "Were you born on the island of Salad?"

"Yes."

Bai Xiang answered.

The Lord of Ceylon Mountain said, "Bai Xiang was born in your Flame Spider Kingdom, in the jungle near Red Chestnut Peak in the Sea Lemon Mountains. She was discovered by Lord Red Willow, who learned that there were hairy ball golden tortoise warriors living in Ceylon Mountain on Ivory Island, so he sent her over."

Bai Xiang was very lively, and she said with a bouncy voice, "Lord Red Willow also gave me 1000 Primal Stones and a lot of divine Primal Force food!"

Lord Red Willow? So generous!

The Flame Spider Kingdom has more than 1300 Flame Spider Warriors. Jin and the Lord of Red Cone Mountain have traveled around for many years and know most of them, but this one happens to be someone they don't know.

"Lord Red Willow! I know him, a very generous elder. He even gave me a little gift when I was just born..."

Because of a senior member of the same clan, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.

After chatting idly for a while...

The Lord of Ceylon invited them up the mountain, and together they reached the summit, where they stood at a distance to observe the landscape. The divinely bestowed seeds of Phyllanthus emblica were planted at the foot of the mountain on its southern side, and from this vantage point, the situation was clearly visible.

A large tree over 100 meters tall with lush foliage.

Clusters of greenish-yellow, round fruits, not very large, only slightly larger than cherries.

The Lord of Yugan Mountain enthusiastically introduced, "This year's output is 5500 seeds. They are of relatively high quality, made from fertile soil, and have enhanced abilities. Each seed is a single seed and costs 9 Primogems. Each seed can be exchanged for approximately 5 Primogems worth of divine-given food every year."

"We estimate that the original energy content in the pulp exceeds 15%, and its value is around 8000. Jin, Dafeng, as you said, after processing, we can each get about 4000 if we divide it equally."

"Yes."

Jin Zan said, "Very good. Definitely a high-income, divinely bestowed seed!"

It's easy to see that the four hairball beetle warriors have all tacitly agreed to cooperate.

The additional 4000 Primogems worth of divinely bestowed food each year is a crucial source of income for this impoverished little tribe.

Jin didn't beat around the bush and said, "Lord of Mount Yugan, could you please communicate with the Divine Seed of Yugan and ask how many days it will take for the fruit to ripen and be harvested? Dafeng and I will calculate the time and come a day or two in advance to avoid missing the harvest."

The master of Yugan Mountain replied, "Normal growth takes about fifteen or sixteen days. The seed of Yugan, bestowed by the gods, has a certain ability to control the ripening time of the fruit; it can be one or two days earlier or one or two days later."

"Okay, remember."

Jin explained, "Our Flame Spider Kingdom created a calendar that divides the year into 12 months..."

The calendar had been spread from the Flame Spider Kingdom to the seven major tribes of Ivory Island, as well as some medium-sized tribes. Smaller tribes like the Hairy Ball Beetle, being isolated and unaware of it, were given a detailed explanation by Jin, who highlighted the various advantages of the calendar.

Yu Ganshan used earth-based abilities to create 12 stone slabs.

Jin designed a calendar for it and demonstrated it.

Things can be hung in the cave where you live, and as time passes, you mark the corresponding date with a line.

Done,

Jin and Dafeng toured the area around the mountain peak again before taking their leave.

...

...

“Jin, go that way, there’s another Black-banded Golden Beetle tribe. They have a Glossy-leaved Winged Fruit Hemp, which has some flesh and can be used to make some profit.”

"Small tribes?"

"Seven Black Belt Fang Beetle Warriors."

"The highest level of mountain lord?"

"Yes."

"Is it far?"

"It's very close! Head southeast, less than 20 kilometers."

"Have a look!"

"..."

Led by a strong wind, they then visited the Black-belted Toothless Golden Tortoise tribe.

This is a tribe even poorer than the hairy-nosed beetle, with only one sapling of the highest quality, the Glossy-leaved Hemp.

The returns from the collaboration were not high.

The equipment processing yields less than 2000 raw stones. Even if split 50/50, Jin and Dafeng, after all their hard work, will only get less than 1000 raw stones.

They were happy to reach a cooperation agreement, as no amount of money was too much.

Visiting two golden tortoise tribes delayed our journey by two days.

Jin and Dafeng sped up their journey to the Poison Armor Tribe of Partridge Mountain.

The ripening time of tropical plant fruits is chaotic and disordered. After traveling back and forth for half a month, they finally arrived at the hairy beetle tribe again to complete the harvesting and trading of the divinely bestowed amla.

We bid farewell once again, leaving the Ceylon Hills area.

There were no transactions in July.

"Jin, where to next? Explore the terrain and plan a trading route? Or should we first visit some tribes I know near Wuchao Mountain?"

"Visit the tribes you know first."

"This way!"

Da Feng pointed the way and introduced, "The Giant-Leg Longhorn Beetle tribe has a close relationship with the Comb-Horned Longhorn Beetle tribe and is developing quite well. The tribe has more than fifty insectoid warriors, including seven lord-level warriors..."

Dragonflies are good at flying, and Da Feng likes to fly around. Near Wuchao Mountain, he has met many Zerg warriors.

Using this connection, he entered their social circles, introduced them to each other, and spent two months visiting more than 20 small and medium-sized tribes in the northern part of Ivory Island, centered around Wuchao Mountain, and negotiated a processing deal for 24 divinely bestowed seeds.

September arrived.

Jin, accompanied by a strong wind, set off from Wuchao Mountain to carefully survey the terrain and plan the most convenient route from Wuchao Mountain southward to Suoyu Mountain.

...

Suddenly one day,
During the journey, a strong wind, which was circling overhead for reconnaissance, rushed by.

"Jin! There are Zerg warriors digging up ancient ruins over there!"
