Dawn Spider

Chapter 185 Rhinoceros Cockroach Little Warrior: Rong
After finishing my busy work in June,
There were few transactions in July, August, and September.

The transactions on Ivory Island are basically fixed.

Jin spent time organizing all the God-given Seeds with which he had trade partnerships, conducting on-site investigations of the islands' mountains and terrain based on their origin and maturity time, and optimizing trade routes.

With the IOU for the Curcuma Insect King clutched in Jin's claws, Dafeng could once again legitimately approach the excavation site of the ruins, conduct aerial reconnaissance, monitor their movements, and report the situation to Jin in real time.

The excavation team was divided into two groups, with the Sumeru Insect King and the Stone Insect King each leading one group, digging separately. The Curcuma Insect King served as the overall commander of the team, running between the two ends.

The strong wind also kept a close eye on the Curcuma worm king and sent a message to Jin.
Jin intercepted it halfway and asked when it would repay the Yuanjing it owed, whether it could repay it, and whether it should repay it...

I stopped them three times.

When it came time to collect the debt for the fourth time, the King of Curcuma Insects couldn't hold out any longer. He made a special trip back to Partridge Mountain to retrieve 150 original crystals. While paying off the debt, he also generously advanced the consultation fee for the next round.

However, they have not yet unearthed any crucial or unanalyzable signposts.

...

It's late September again.
In the southern part of Ivory Island, in the Six-Section Stag Beetle Tribe of Dragon Horn Mountain, there is a tree with a divinely bestowed seed of wood fruit that is about to ripen and be harvested. It is an extremely profitable deal, and Jin and Dafeng packed their bags and set off three days in advance.

On the way,

Late at night, Jin randomly found a desolate mountaintop and used the Primal Stone to accelerate his meditation.

In the darkness, the soul stirred, giving rise to a warning message that it was being watched.

Jin woke up with a start.

Not far away, the wind that was resting on a towering tree was startled awake, and the blue-yellow wind energy shone brightly, causing the wind to rise vertically into the air.

"Mr. Jin?"

"..."

Jin used his spiritual energy to scan the area, then turned slightly and locked his gaze on a tall banyan tree on a hillside not far away.

Hidden among the aerial roots of the banyan tree was a giant cockroach, over 10 centimeters long, secretly watching them. When it saw Jin becoming alert, it immediately turned and hid deep within the aerial roots of the banyan tree.

A strong wind was detected simultaneously, prompting gasps of alarm as the wind plummeted vertically.

"Cockroach warriors! How come there are cockroach warriors here?"

"It was born in the wild."

"Such a big size..."

"It seems to be only at the first stage of evolution, stage 1?"

"..."

Da Feng, suppressing his mental energy once again, exclaimed in surprise: "I know! This must be a rhinoceros cockroach warrior!"

"Rhinoceros cockroach?"

Jin quickly searched for the inherited memories, while repeatedly scanning and comparing them with his mental energy. Sure enough, it was a newly born, one-year-old rhinoceros cockroach baby warrior.

The rhinoceros cockroach is the largest cockroach species in the natural pantheon, inherited from memory. A strong, ordinary rhinoceros cockroach can exceed 10 centimeters in length.

"Little one. Don't run away. Come here. Come here."

"Don't be afraid. We are Zerg warriors too..."

The strong wind hovers close to the ground, calling out with spiritual power.

The little rhinoceros cockroach soldier was even more frightened, and he turned sideways, trying his best to shrink deeper into the aerial roots of the banyan tree.

Jin glanced at it a few times, then raised its claws and pulled out a spider silk. It manipulated the silk to pass through layers of roots, directly binding and pulling out the rhinoceros cockroach warrior.

"We mean no harm, we won't hurt you, understand?"

"..."

The little rhinoceros cockroach warrior was terrified and sent out a long string of fearful and pleading mental messages.

Jin placed it on the ground and untied the spider silk rope.

The little rhinoceros-cockroach warriors took off running.

With a single thought, the space in front of Jin rippled slightly, and the banishment ability was activated in reverse.

The rhinoceros cockroach, which had only run a meter, was stunned. It turned to the left and right to check, and was horrified to find that it had inexplicably returned to its starting point.

He started running away again.

As soon as I approached the banyan tree, the space in front of me rippled, and in a daze, I found myself back in the same spot.

"..."

The little rhinoceros cockroach warrior curled up into a round ball.

"gold!"

The strong wind anxiously warned, "It's almost scared to death by you."

"So cowardly?"

Jin had a headache and asked, "Dafeng, it seems I haven't heard of any rhinoceros cockroach tribes on Ivory Island?"

Da Feng tilted his head thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, no. I haven't seen any other rhinoceros-cockroach warriors." Jin asked, "Since we've run into them, we can't just abandon them, right? What should we do?"

"Send them to Black Ebony Mountain? As fellow cockroaches, shouldn't the Two-Colored Cockroach tribe have warriors willing to adopt them?"

Da Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Boss Jin, we're not far from the territory of Hua Teng, the cockroach warrior of the Narrow Plains! Hua Teng is also a cockroach, and he lives alone in the primeval forest, so he needs a partner. Hua Teng will definitely be willing to take him in; he has divinely bestowed seeds and can afford to raise him."

"That makes sense..."

Jin thought the suggestion was good, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Dafeng, you set off now and make a trip to Sikui Mountain to get some... get some God-given Primal Force food worth 1000 Primal Stones that improves overall physique."

"Okay, Mr. Jin!"

"Mr. Jin, don't scare it..."

Da Feng gave a worried reminder, then his inner energy surged, transforming into a stream of blue-yellow light that rose into the sky and disappeared into the moonlight.

Jin's attention shifted again to the little rhinoceros cockroach warrior huddled on the ground, deceiving himself...

In the inherited memories of the natural pantheon, the first thing a novice warrior in his first year of life awakens is information such as the life sac, life seed, divinely bestowed seed, and divinely bestowed primal force food.

The rhinoceros cockroach warrior must have understood the conversation, specifically the 'divinely given seed' and 'divinely given food,' because it slowly unfolded its curled-up body and stared intently at Jin.

"Little one, don't be afraid..."

King Kong spoke,

The little rhinoceros cockroach soldier was startled and quickly curled up.

Jin Youyou asked, "Little guy, would you like to eat food made with divine power?"

"..."

The little rhinoceros cockroach warrior slowly unfolded its curled-up body.

Jin introduced himself in a different way: "I am a warrior of the Flame Spider tribe. My name is Jin. I have a Golden Leaf Vine, a divinely bestowed seed, a mutated variety of Tin Leaf Vine."

Feeling that wasn't enough, Jin added, "I'm very rich; I have an endless supply of God-given Force food. Would you like some?"

The little rhinoceros cockroach soldier vigorously tapped its antennae.

Jin could tell that this little rhinoceros cockroach warrior was probably only a few days old, clumsy, and didn't yet know how to communicate using mental energy.

"What's your name?"

"..."

The little rhinoceros-cockroach warrior was bewildered.

Jin changed his question and asked, "What plant did you choose for your first life seed?"

The little rhinoceros cockroach warriors raised their antennae with all their might and pointed towards the banyan tree.

"You collected the seeds from this banyan tree?"

"……Yes."

The rhinoceros-cockroach warrior had mastered a little bit of the skill of mental communication and managed to utter a vague message.

"Ficus altissima?"

"Yes……"

The little rhinoceros cockroach warrior moved its antennae up and down.

"And your name..."

This name is difficult to choose.

The banyan tree is a naturally superior large tree, and importantly, its seeds are small, so many young soldiers chose it as their first tree to plant. This led to a relatively serious problem of duplicate names.

On Ivory Island alone, Jin knew five Zerg warriors named 'Shannong' or 'Gaorong'.

Jin pondered for a moment and then said, "Then you can learn from me, your name is 'Rong', how about that?"

"..."

The rhinoceros-cockroach warrior was confused. Remembering the divinely bestowed food with primal force, he reluctantly tapped his antennae.

"Alright, Rong. You rest now. That big dragonfly went to get the divinely bestowed food and won't be back for a while."

"..."

The banyan tree twitched its antennae.

"Don't run around."

"..."

The banyan tree twitched its antennae.

The greedy little guy. He's not afraid of anything as soon as he hears there's food.

Without saying much, Jin calmed his mind and entered a meditative state again, making the most of the time to absorb and digest the raw stone that he had previously sucked into his stomach.

Rong stared intently at Jin with its two eyes, stood aside, and watched curiously for a while before turning around and running away, disappearing into the depths of the banyan tree's root system.
