Dawn Spider

Chapter 150 Happiness is the Most Important Thing
Are Zerg warriors digging up the ruins?
This place is three or four hundred kilometers away from the Cyathea Mountain ruins, in a desolate wilderness. What kind of insect did it come from and get here?

"With such a strong wind, how many insects are digging?"

"I don't know. I didn't see any insects, only piles of fresh rocks."

"So they're digging underground?"

"Yes."

Jin stopped in his tracks.

A gentle breeze flapped its wings, and it stood upright, hanging upside down from the trunk of a nearby white willow tree, saying quite professionally:
"From what I've observed, it's not just any insect digging randomly in any place. They've also dug a water channel nearby, with fresh traces of drainage. It's very likely they've stumbled upon some ancient ruins."

"Hey!"

Jin praised, "Dafeng, you are an excellent reconnaissance soldier!"

"Of course! When I was still a mid-level warrior, the Secret Order Ant King started teaching me all sorts of reconnaissance techniques."

Da Feng boasted, "Jin, shall we go take a look?"

"this problem……"

Jin hesitated, saying, "If we really unearth the ruins, won't they worry that we've leaked their secrets, and then... we might get silenced by insecticide!"

"This one……"

Da Feng suggested, "Jin, why don't you stay away? Find a safe place to hide. I'll soar high in the sky and observe from a distance to see what's going on."

"can!"

Jin suggested, "Just figure out two things: first, what kind of insect is digging; second, whether or not they actually dug anything up."

Jin said, "This is just something we're doing for fun. No matter who the other party is, or whether we find anything or not, it's none of our business. Even if there are some particularly valuable treasures, we can't afford them anyway. At most, we're just curious to see them."

"That's right~"

Dafeng said, "Jin, head west. About 3 kilometers away, there's a large mountain with a canyon. Hide behind it. I'll stay and check it out."

"it is good!"

Jin agreed.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, a somewhat familiar, faint spiritual thought arose.

"You two don't need to bother, just come over."

"Crack!"

Jin was startled.

"Crack~"

Startled by the strong wind, it fell off the tree, landing on its back. It flapped its wings frantically, flipped itself over, and hurriedly took off again.

"gold!"

"The Insect King!"

"Be careful!"

The strong wind shook the spiritual energy transmitted by the wind, and the bird desperately flapped its wings, rising vertically into the air and transforming into a small green-yellow dot, suspended high in the sky.

"..."

Jin was stunned for a moment, then composed himself and shouted with a surge of spiritual power, "Flame Spider Kingdom, Purple Sandalwood Peak, Jin greets the King of Eshu Insects!"

"You little spider, what are you doing on Ivory Island again?"

“I’m here to make a deal. Last time at the Cyathea Mountain ruins, I acquired a device from an alien civilization that processes divinely bestowed food, you know?”

"I know!"

King Eshu was annoyed and asked, "So, you came to Ivory Island to buy those Divine Seed fruits with more pulp? You even found a giant dragonfly warrior to help transport them back to the Twin Islands of Saluo for processing?"

Kim replied, "Yes."

"Last time at the Cyathea Mountain ruins, the biggest benefit was taken by you, you little spider."

Unable to hide his annoyance, the King of the Curcuma Insects said irritably, "Come down and talk."

"Ok!"

Jin ran towards the direction of the excavation.

After crossing rolling hills and mountain ranges, below lies a vast plain and forest.

The freshly excavated mud and rocks formed three hills.

In the center of the hill, there is a wide tunnel, more than ten meters wide and two or three meters high, sloping downwards.

Jin rushed down the mountain and headed straight for the cave entrance.

The strong winds, observed from high altitude, descended vertically and hovered above the gold.

"Jin, what's going on? Who's down there? Do you know them?"

"It's the King of Curcuma zedoaria and the like."

"The King of Curcuma Insects! No wonder!"

Da Feng said, "I just scouted the area carefully. There are still insects digging nearby. They just started digging, so the marks aren't obvious. I didn't see them clearly before."

"That's normal. They're just exploring and making inquiries everywhere."

Jin ran quickly to the cave entrance, stopped, and asked, "Shall we go down together?"

The wind hesitated for a moment, then flapped its wings and rose vertically into the air.

"Jin, go down now. Come out quickly. If you don't come out before dark, I'll go directly to the Spider Kingdom and find the Spider King to rescue you..."

Dragonfly warriors are the kings of the sky, but once they get to the ground, they have difficulty even walking.

Da Feng is a bit oblivious, but he's very vigilant.

Jin ignored it, stepped into the cave entrance, and ran down the passage.

A steep slope of sixty degrees, a spiraling downward passage, more than a thousand meters underground. A wide space more than one hundred meters long has already been excavated.

Jin scanned the area with his spiritual power and discovered that, in addition to the Eshu Insect King, there were dozens of insectoid warriors busy at work, all of them lord-level warriors.

There are also two familiar insects: one is the Meridian Lord of Wuchao Mountain; the other is the Kehuai Lord of the Shuijia tribe.

There was another one, a warrior from the Longhorn Beetle tribe, suspected to be the Insect King, lying motionless on a stone wall... Could it be the Stone Insect King that Da Feng had mentioned before?

This is the ruins exploration team of the Eshu Insect King organization, composed of insect warriors of various races. Some are skilled in water control, some in freezing, some in diving, some in underground sensing, some in drilling, some in soil and rock solidification, and others in digging and transporting...

The King of Curcuma Insects is a metal-type insect; it doesn't do any work and is already waiting at the entrance of the cave.

"The King of Curcuma Insects!"

"Little Spider, do you know why I called you down?"

"do not know."

"I heard that you unearthed a divinely bestowed seed from an alien civilization within the ruins of the Twin Islands of Salad?"

"That's right. We dug up an unknown oak tree seed, which was officially named 'Black Oak Seed,' and it has already grown and evolved to a higher level."

"What else have you dug up?"

"Nothing."

"Really gone?"

"I also dug up a few worthless things. I'm not a professional, I just dig around for fun, and I just happened to be lucky."

"You just dug around for fun and you got this much? What would you be like if you took it seriously?"

"Uh……"

Jin didn't quite understand what the other party meant, so he asked directly, "King of the Eshu Insects, what are your orders?"

The King of Eshu Insects praised, "You little fellow, with your lightning-type mutation, your mind has become exceptionally sharp. You seem to have a special talent for excavating the relics of alien civilizations."

Talent? What talent could there be in something like this?
"..."

Jin didn't know how to respond.

The King of the Curcuma Insects waved its antennae, pointed to the cave space, and asked, "What do you see there?"

Jin was beginning to understand what the other party meant.

Is he trying to recruit me?
Jin was somewhat intrigued and said, "It's clearly a road cleared by alien warriors for passage. Such a wide road must lead to some important place. King Eshu Insect, shall you dig a tunnel along the road?"

"I heard from Dafeng that there are still soldiers digging nearby? You must have sent them out to explore and scout ahead along the road, right?"

"All correct! Absolutely right!"

"I knew it! You little spider, you have a real talent for excavating alien ruins!"

The King of Curcuma Insects praised it highly and asked, "Any other discoveries?"

"Nothing."

Jin was very puzzled and asked, "King of the Eshu Insects, how did you discover this place? Ivory Island is so big, it's impossible for you to explore deep underground one place at a time and try your luck everywhere, right?"

"That's definitely impossible..."

The King of Curcuma zedoaria said, "These are some valuable experiences and techniques that I have figured out over my entire life."

Are you kidding me? What kind of technology could that possibly have?
Jin knew that the other party was unwilling to say more, so he simply changed the subject and asked, "Eshu Insect King, have you made any other discoveries?"

The King of the Curculigo Insects said irritably, "I'm asking you, little spider, take a closer look, what else do you discover? Or what ideas do you have?"

Jin said, "Are there buildings inhabited by alien civilizations around here? But they are all ordinary buildings inhabited by ordinary alien races, so it is almost impossible to find anything. Therefore, instead of expanding the excavation area, you drilled along the road to find the settlement of alien Force warriors."

"A clever little fellow."

The King of Curcuma Insects kept praising them and asked, "How much do you earn in a year trading on Ivory Island?"

"This one……"

Jin realized the other party wanted to recruit him, so he said dismissively, "It's not about how much money I make. I can use the equipment of the alien civilization to help more Zerg warriors. Helping the Zerg is my joy, and happiness is the most important thing."

"..."

The King of Eshu Insects choked for several seconds before asking, "Then are you happy?"

Kim Jung-seok replied, "Very happy!"

The King of Eshu Insects said irritably:
"This place has just been excavated, and no other discoveries have been made yet."

"In the future, whenever you pass by here, come and take a look. You're smart, so you might be able to offer some different perspectives. If you find anything good, I'll share some with you."

Jin readily agreed, "No problem!"

The King of the Curcuma Insects warned, "This ruin has just begun, so don't go around spreading rumors and ruin my plans."

Jin assured him, "Absolutely not!"

The Meridian Lord pushed a stone ball with a diameter of 3 meters towards this side.

"Lord of the Meridian!"

Jin raised his claws in greeting.

"gold!"

Lord Ziwu put down the stone ball, walked over, and asked, "You're making a trade? You've been to Wuchao Mountain, haven't you?"

"I've been there. Lord Midnight has decided that your Midnight Divine Gift Seed production will also be included in the cooperation..."

Lord Ziwu has not returned to his tribe for a long time.

Jin chatted with it, talking about the situation at Wuchao Mountain.

Hearing the conversation, the other soldiers gradually put down their work and came over to inquire about the situation of their respective tribes, or to entrust money, to pass on messages to their relatives and friends, and to arrange affairs in their territories.

After talking for so long,
Jin took his leave.
