Dawn Spider

Chapter 173 Kick me out?

Jin spent four days absorbing the 20th primal crystal's power and immediately got up to test it.

It raised its paw and drew a horizontal line on the ground in front of it.

The mental energy spreads forward in a linear fashion, and the blinking ability is activated to the fullest extent.

His figure vanished and reappeared more than ten meters away.

Using mental energy, he scanned backward, taking precise measurements.

12.7 m.

Jin had already figured out some of the patterns in the enhancement of blinking ability and had a general idea of ​​the numbers.

During the meditation enhancement process, the blinking ability increased by more than 2 meters.

Currently, the enhancement effect is only about 20%. Only after completing a molting evolution will the enhancement effect be fully displayed, and the flashing distance can be increased by about 8 meters.

The meditation effect of raw crystals is slightly better than that of raw stones.

20 primal crystals can increase the height by about 10 meters. On average, 2 primal crystals can increase the height by one meter.

As the blinking ability's range increases, the difficulty of improvement also increases. With each additional meter of distance, the amount of original crystals consumed will increase accordingly.

"As planned, during the advanced warrior stage of age 3, I will use 40 Primal Crystals to accelerate meditation."

"With another 20 primal crystals, the evolution to the 4th stage should allow the blinking ability to reach a distance of over 30 meters."

"The number of flashes will definitely increase accordingly; I wonder if it can reach 10 times..."

Jin pondered, her heart filled with anticipation.

Now, I have a certain understanding of the ability 'blink'.

The drawback of the blinking ability is its short range, difficulty in increasing the range, and high energy consumption when activated.

The advantage of the blinking ability lies in its extremely fast activation speed. Once mastered, it can be activated and the displacement completed almost in the blink of an eye. At the Mountain Lord level, the activation time may be only a fraction of a second, making it a true instantaneous teleportation.

In terms of speed alone, the displacement capabilities of all elemental systems and systems I've seen so far are completely incomparable to the ability to blink.

"For high-level Flame Spider Warriors, the primal force contained in a single primal crystal is still far too immense..."

"There are no special Force foods in nature that enhance the Flame Spider's ability to suck its stomach, and there are only a few kinds of God-given Force foods that enhance internal organs. At the advanced warrior stage, I have already consumed most of them."

"Moreover, if I defeat the Yagura Primordial Ancestor in the Human Race Dojo Challenge and obtain the meditation cushion, I will no longer need to extract Primordial Crystals and Primordial Force by sucking my stomach to accelerate my meditation."

"Looking at the long term, I need to find more ways to obtain Primal Crystals and Primal Stones. The Primal Crystals I get from digging up ruins are enough for advanced stages, but completely insufficient for Mountain Lord-level stages..."

“Loaning and collecting interest is a way to earn raw stones, but due to various constraints, the interest rate is too low. Moreover, the number of insects on Borneo and Ivory Islands is limited, the market is only so big, and the upper limit is too low.”

"Either we find other ways to earn raw stones, or we plan to expand our business to the southern continent as soon as possible..."

Jin pondered, stretched out his front legs, retracted his hind legs, and looked up at the seed of the pokeweed bestowed by the gods.

The raw stones consumed by the God-given Seed of Pokeweed were even more abundant than its own.

"..."

"The number of God-given Seeds is too small. Ordinary Force Food produced by ordinary Life Seeds is the main resource for the growth and evolution of most Zerg warriors. The quantity is large, the demand is high, and the circulation is also large..."

After careful consideration, Jin rejected the idea.

There is no profit to be made from ordinary fate types.

"Why not just assemble an exploration team to search for and excavate raw stone deposits?"

Jin thought about it for a moment and then rejected the idea.

The Zerg warriors should not be underestimated.

They can unearth relics buried more than a thousand meters underground, let alone raw stone deposits.

It is certain that the islands of Saluo and Xiangya, as well as the surrounding islands, have been repeatedly explored by them, and it is impossible that any raw stone deposits have been missed.

Deep-sea prospecting and mining? The technical requirements are too high. And the ferocious creatures roaming the ocean pose an even greater, deadly threat.

The southern continent has many dangerous areas that no insects have ventured into, but those are dangerous areas. Places that are not dangerous have probably been explored by insects countless times already.

"..."

"The most realistic thing right in front of us is to crack the password of the original crystal storage box that was just dug out from the Blackwood Mountain Martial Arts Academy. We can get a reward of 44 original crystals."

As noon approached, Jin got up and went into the jungle, where he hunted some food to replenish his energy.

I strolled down to the mound where the golden vines were rooted.

Taro was still working hard, waving its roots and clicking on the original crystal storage box, constantly trying to crack the code.

"Golden Leaf Vine!"

"Taro!"

Jin greeted him.

"Wow~"

Taro, completely absorbed, shook its leaves and gave a perfunctory response.

Without saying a word, Jin stepped forward and injected his Force into another Primal Crystal storage box. A blue screen appeared, and he manipulated a spider silk rope to click rapidly.

The password for the first two openings was 27295417
It is speculated that this is the birthday of a certain warrior from the Destiny Realm.

It is speculated that this batch of Primal Crystal storage boxes may be for the birthday of another Destiny Warrior.

Their birthdays shouldn't be too far apart.

Therefore, Jin arranged for taro to be started from 27295417 and tried it downwards.

Kim himself tried to go up.

You can also try it if you have time.

...

In the late afternoon,
The taro's waving roots suddenly stopped.

Jin stopped as well.

One of the taro roots rises high, pointing towards the western sky.

With a flash, the golden figure landed directly on top of the climbing frame created by the earth and stone abilities, gazing intently.

A bluish-green spot is rapidly approaching and gradually enlarging.

A strong wind is coming.

Looking closely, its six legs, folded together like a cage, were carrying cargo.

Original crystal storage box?
A bad feeling rose in Jin's heart.

As the distance rapidly closed, it became clear that he was carrying a crystal storage box.

"Taro!"

"stop!"

The golden figure landed in a flash, looking annoyed, and said, "Taro, stop trying! The password is solved."

"Whoosh?"

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~whoosh..."

Taro was stunned for a moment, then her whole body trembled with anger: "It's untied? What am I supposed to do now?"
Have I worked day and night for so long, only to have it all for nothing?

Jin was speechless. Ivory Island acted far too quickly, figuring out the password in less than half a month.

"Alright, Taro, I'll compensate you with a Primal Crystal later."

"Wow~"

The taro leaves drooped, looking dejected.

"gold!"

"Golden Leaf Vine!"

"Taro!"

The strong winds blew, causing it to slow down continuously, hover, and then descend vertically.

"Jin, good news! The treasure chest has been successfully opened!"

"When I was trading at Qingsha Port, I heard the news and immediately rushed to Partridge Mountain to retrieve your share of the original crystal." "The treasure chest password is 01233210."

"OK……"

Damn! Who set this password? Could it be any more ridiculous?

Jin Xintou silently complained, manipulated the spider silk rope, pulled the box over, injected the Force, clicked to enter the password, and with four crisp clicks, the box lid popped open.

Upon opening, there were three small spider silk bags, two filled with 100 beads each, and one containing 60 beads, for a total of 260 beads.

"The number is fine..."

"Wow~"

Taro eagerly stretched out its roots, tried to grab a bag, and wriggled its way toward the irrigation ditch where it was rooted.

"Taro!"

Jin scolded, then prompted, "One."

"Wow~Wow~"

Taro opened the spider silk bag and tried to take 10 pieces.

"One!"

"Wow~"

Eight taro roots were put back, each wrapped with one root, and ignoring Jin's shouts, they sped away.

"..."

Jin manipulated the spider silk, rolled up three beads, and handed them to Dafeng, saying, "Dafeng, you've traveled a lot to excavate the ruins. You've worked hard. This is a reward for your efforts."

"Thank you, Boss Jin!"

The wind is joyful and expresses its gratitude.

Jin quickly packed up, closed the suitcase, changed the password, and asked, "Dafeng, is there any important news or interesting news from Ivory Island?"

"Have!"

Da Feng said, "Reliable sources say that the King of Eshu Insects is recruiting lord-level warriors with earth and water elemental talents again."

"There are also unconfirmed rumors that the King of the Sumeru Insects of the Longhorn Beetle tribe has also joined, and that the King of the Sumeru Insects will personally lead a lord-level excavation team."

"Forehead……"

Jin asked, "Are you sure it's the Sumeru Insect King?"

Dafeng replied, "I'm not sure. I overheard other Zerg warriors talking about it at Qingsha Harbor Square."

The Sumeru Insect King is already at the peak of the 8th instar. If it wants, it can break through to the peak of the 9th instar at any time and then leave the Force Astral Plane.

It still has a long lifespan, so it's been stuck and hasn't evolved.

Would such an insect king still care about the meager gains from the ruins?

However, if the news is confirmed to be true, the Sumeru Insect King will personally lead a lord-level team to excavate the ruins...

Is there any left for me?

Can I become a shareholder?
Jin asked, "Dafeng, what did the King of the Curcuma Insects say?"

Da Feng said, "I asked, and the King of Eshu Insects only said that they are reorganizing the team and will contact us if needed."

Jin's expression instantly darkened, and he asked, "Didn't the King of the Eshu Insects say anything else?"

Da Feng said, "That's all."

Jin asked, "Are these its exact words? Will they contact us if needed?"

Da Feng said, "That's exactly what he said."

No need to ask, it must be that the King of Eshu Insects felt that they were being taken advantage of because they only used their brains and gave some advice without putting in any effort, yet they got 10% of the profits. They were unhappy about it.

Also, the Curcuma Insect King and the others probably felt they had grasped the distribution patterns of the ruins and didn't need a high-level little spider to point things out.

So, we're reorganizing the team, and I won't be leading it next year.

Da Feng, looking rather bewildered, asked, "Jin, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"No."

Jin calmly said, "Dafeng, we won't be able to get involved in the excavation next year."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Da Feng lost his balance while hovering and fell to the ground with a thud, struggling to stand up.

"What? What?"

A gust of wind swept through, immediately provoking Jin Ye Teng's displeasure. He angrily demanded, "Jin, what are you talking about? What is that big idiot doing?"

"fine."

Jin waved his claws and calmly said, "It's nothing. It's a small matter."

Jin instructed, "Dafeng, remember, don't say anything, and don't go to the Eshu Insect King, or ask any other warriors from the Great Poison Armor Tribe or the Comb Horned Longhorn Beetle Tribe."

"Ok!"

Dafeng agreed, then asked, puzzled, "Jin, what do we do then?"

"Wait."

Jin said indifferently, "Anyway, we won't find anything good in the ruins, so we can just not participate. It's perfect, I also need more time to absorb the original crystal's power and seize the time to break through and evolve."

"Ok."

Dafeng agreed, but was extremely unwilling, and asked, "Why don't you ask the King of the Curcuma Insects? Or the King of the Stone Insects?"

"Do not ask."

"The King of Eshu Insects is quite kind; this matter is probably the intention of the King of Shizi Insects and the King of Sumeru Insects."

Jin said, “Don’t ask. If we don’t ask, we still have a chance to cooperate. If the Eshu Insect King and the others can’t find anything, they can come to us when they need something. But if we ask and get rejected, and things come to a head and we fall out, then there will really be no chance.”

Jin added, "Also, after all, we still have to go to Wuchao Mountain and Partridge God Mountain to make a deal. If things don't go well, it will be a bit awkward to meet again."

"I understand~"

Da Feng barely understood the logic behind it.

Jin reminded him again, "Dafeng, keep this a secret. Don't mention it to any insects."

"Ok!"

The wind agreed.

Jin waved his claws.

A gentle breeze vibrated its wings, propelling it vertically into the air. After rising about a hundred meters, it suddenly stopped and said:

“Jin, there’s one more small matter. This year, the Secret Order Ant King lent me divinely bestowed food resources worth 300,000 Primogems. I’ve already redeemed them all and eaten more than half of them. In about 10 days, I will enter my second-instar Mountain Lord slumber evolution!”

It really is a small matter...

With so much divinely bestowed food, there's no reason for their early evolution to fail.

"Good luck with your breakthrough."

Kim offered a perfunctory congratulatory remark.

"Thank you~"

The wind flapped its wings vigorously, lifted it vertically into the air, and quickly disappeared as a streak of blue-yellow light.

"gold?"

Jin Yeteng pressed, "What happened?"

Jin kicked the original crystal storage box and said angrily, "Those bastards on Ivory Island think they learned how to search for ruins from me, and kicked me out of the excavation team."

"Forehead……"

"Ha! What! Ha! Ha!"

The golden vine vibrated its mental energy and let out an exaggerated laugh, lecturing, "See! I told you before, didn't I? Other insects can learn your tricks very quickly, and then you'll be out of the game."
