Dawn Spider

Chapter 206 The Force Warriors' Villa District
A clandestine workshop on the third basement floor of the hospital.

The Sumeru Insect King, accompanied by a swarm of insects, guarded the equipment, waiting for the insect eggs to be laid and for the bloodline data to be collected.

The wait was boring, and we chatted idly on and off.

"The King of Insects!"

"The King of Insects!"

Zifeng burst in, shouting.

"?"

The Sumeru Insect King casually sent out a mental message asking a question.

"King Sumeru Insect, we've unearthed another ancient site!"

"Oh, not bad!"

"There's too much stuff; we can't move it all. Lord Bloodfruit sent me over to see if you're busy. If not..."

"roll roll roll!"

The Sumeru Insect King suddenly flew into a rage, unleashing a burst of spiritual power like a tsunami, which forced Zi Feng to retreat repeatedly.

"..."

"King Sumeru, please calm your anger~"

Zi Feng hurriedly said, "I was just joking. The truth is, Lord Blood Fruit asked me to come and ask if the equipment consumes a lot of Primal Crystals when producing insect eggs? Should I send you a batch of Primal Crystals along the way?"

A joke? Is it that funny? The Sumeru Insect King sneered, "Nonsense! Do you even need to ask? Bring them all over!"

"Send them all over?"

Zi Feng asked, "King of the Sumeru Insects, aren't you going to ask how many Primal Crystals we've mined?"

A bunch of insects were staring at them intently.

Little Longhorn Beetle, do you think you're funny?

The Sumeru Insect King finally couldn't take it anymore. It sprang up and instantly appeared in front of Zi Feng, waving its tentacles and slapping him repeatedly.

"..."

"How many raw crystals were mined?"

"1."

"So much? How much did you and the Blood Fruit take?"

"1500."

"What kind of ruin has so many Primal Crystals? Are there any other finds?"

"It's a very strange ruin. The treasury contains 1 black metal boxes filled with Primal Crystals. Lord Bloodfruit and I were also given 1500 boxes."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing."

"You spineless coward, you're all smug about a few Primal Crystals?"

"..."

"Where is the Blood Fruit?"

"It went back to Wuchao Mountain to ask the Longhorn Beetle Warrior for help."

"Send 600 raw crystals, that's enough. Get lost."

The King of Sumeru Insects, Pine Claws.

"..."

Zifeng looked left and right, then turned and ran away.

...

...

The strong winds traveled back and forth between the Ocean Star Arena ruins and Mount Sikui in five trips, helping to transport the 2500 original crystals of gold back to Mount Sikui.

Take another day off.
The other insects arrived one after another with their own warriors, and left carrying away the original crystal storage boxes.

Jin, Dafeng, Huoji, and Ziye led an army of 10 ants and set off last.

Return to the red-headed termite kingdom and rest in peace.

Situation of strong winds.

As expected, a large number of Zerg warriors arrived upon hearing the news. They ransacked the Ocean Star Arena and began surveying the surrounding area.

Half a month later, most of the insects dispersed, but a few insects discovered the road connecting to the Ocean Star Arena, and they dug tunnels along the road to explore.

After learning about the situation, Jin became somewhat uneasy. If things continued like this, the speculated settlement of Force warriors for leisure and vacation might very well be discovered by these insects.

8 month 15 day,
Jin arranged for a strong wind and notified everyone to gather.

Fire and White Night led 10 ant soldiers and followed Jin south.

The excavation team regrouped at the Ocean Star Arena ruins and arrived at a location about one kilometer from the crossroads.

—Which way should we dig?
The insects were in high spirits, rubbing their claws and gazing at the gold.

Two routes are available: Yunkong North Road and Yunkong South Road.

Whether you go south or north, there's not much difference.

Jin raised his claw and casually pointed, saying, "South!"

"I also think there are better opportunities in the south! Mr. Kim is brilliant!"

"Then head south!"

"Start work! Start work!"

"Let's get to work!"

"..."

The insects were all skilled workers; they didn't need any planning or direction, and they got right to work.

Starting from a location 1 kilometer away, dig at a 60-degree angle towards Yun Kong South Road, and continue digging southward along the road.

Jin followed along for a day, confirmed everything was correct, returned to the ground, and continued using the original crystal to accelerate his meditation.

In just two days, a discovery was made underground.

They unearthed a suburban neighborhood with crisscrossing streets, numerous residential buildings, and various supporting commercial buildings and public facilities.

Ignoring it, I continued along Yun Kong South Road.

Two days later, they unearthed a suburban street. Ahead was a T-shaped intersection, one road leading east and the other west. They found two metal fragments, which, when put together, were roughly deduced to be 'Yunyi East Road' and 'Yunyi West Road'.

Kim ordered the digging to the east.

Five days later, the ant swarm guarding the entrance and exit of the ruins became restless, and the fire tubes rushed out.

"Gold! We've struck a major discovery!"

"Important sign?"

"The Blood Fruit Lord said it sensed a giant stone portal, and the Golden Nan Lord also said it sensed a very large metal fragment on it."

"Oh--"

From the description, it seems they've unearthed a very important place.

Jin called out, "Let's go take a look!"

...

Narrow, damp, dark, and oppressive underground tunnels, where ant colonies scurry back and forth.

Under the guidance of the two lords, Blood Fruit and Golden Nan, the insects dug a tunnel on the left side of Yunyi East Road and are now excavating along the road up a circular slope.

There should have been a hillside ahead, and a road winding around the mountain.

Jin waited patiently.

Half a day later, following the slope, they dug in a circular motion upwards until they reached the back of the 'mountain'.

The outline of the gate-shaped stone building, which is more than 20 meters wide and more than 10 meters high, has been revealed.

Bloodfruit and Lord Golden Sprout worked together to carefully remove four badly rusted metal fragments from the soil. There was no need to examine the metal fragments.

The words "[Yundu Beifu]" are clearly imprinted on the stone gate's lintel.

"Mr. Jin, how is it?"

Lord Jin Nan inquired.

'Yundu Beifu' didn't quite sound like the name of a residential community. Jin was a little unsure and said uncertainly, "It seems like we dug in the right place, right?"

Lord Jin Nan said, "But I didn't sense any metal structures nearby."

The Blood Fruit Lord said, "I sense that if we follow the road forward, there is a sloping road about 300 meters long that curves downwards, and then there are crisscrossing forks in the road."

"That means they dug in the right place."

Jin said, "Everyone, take a rest first. Once you've recovered, continue digging along this path!"

Rest in the middle of the night,

Work began in the middle of the night, with Jin Shou personally directing the work on site.

In the early hours of the morning, the team dug to the crossroads, and Jin directed the team to dig forward.

Another half day passed.
Lord Jin Nan suddenly activated his mental power and shouted.

"Metal! I sense a large amount of metal!"

"Front!"

Lord Jin Nan raised his claws and pointed straight ahead.

The Blood Fruit Lord added, "There's another intersection ahead."

That basically confirms that they dug the right spot; they've found a seaside villa area where Force Warriors live.

After a moment of contemplation, Jin Zhuang said, feigning deep thought, "This area should be the settlement of Force warriors from an alien civilization with a particularly high level of evolution. It's similar to the area we saw before, the one the three Insect Kings' teams dug up..."

Upon hearing this, the insects became even more energetic and dug with all their might, soon reaching the crossroads mentioned by the Blood Fruit Lord.

Continuing forward, there are straight lines of metal debris all around, which should be the fence of a private villa.

Continuing to dig along the road, after another two hundred meters or so, they arrived at the metal building that Lord Jin Nan had sensed.

The door was closed tightly.

The 'castle' consists of three buildings: a main building with five floors and two auxiliary buildings with four floors each. It is soaked by water seepage, and a large amount of mud and sand has entered the interior through the windows. Due to its proximity to the sea, the seepage water has a high salt content, causing severe erosion and decay.

Lord Jin Nan violently broke down the door, and the insects filed in.

Jin activated his blinking ability and headed straight for the top floor of the main building, where the meditation room, half of which had rusted and collapsed, was empty.

Jin turned around and went downstairs, directing the insects to quickly complete the cleanup work, while also ransacking the entire villa.

There were 100 original crystal storage boxes, all empty and unable to be opened. The rest were miscellaneous daily necessities for life and spiritual practice.

"..."

"This harvest isn't very good."

"Lord Jin Nan, are you sure there's no underground treasure vault? Search carefully."

"Really? I could have found out, so why shouldn't I say anything?"

"Is this an empty nest?"

"It is indeed a nesting chamber inhabited by alien warriors, but there are too few items, so it seems that no alien warriors live there."

"Then what happens next?"

The insects all looked toward the gold.

Jin knew perfectly well that this was a villa area for vacationers, and Force warriors wouldn't stay here for long, so it was perfectly normal to encounter an 'empty nest'.

Jin adopted a thoughtful expression and slowly said, "There must be many similar buildings nearby. Let's dig up a few more and see. I don't believe they're all empty."

“This area may take a long time to excavate. We’ll open a vertical tunnel, use the excavated soil to block the way we came from, reinforce it, and seal it off.”

"it is good."

"Row!"

The insects began to move.

Soon, the spiral passage leading to the surface was dug, and the 100,000-strong ant army was transferred.

Jin remained underground to continue directing the work, digging eastward from the crossroads.

In just half a day, another luxurious villa built entirely of metal was unearthed.

The haul was almost zero. They found a set of rotten armor, two food storage boxes without Force, and some empty Primal Crystal storage boxes that couldn't be opened. The rest were various everyday items of little value.

It also appears to be an 'empty nest'.

Continuing east along the road for about 300 meters, turn north, and after another 400 or 500 meters, you will come to a crossroads.

Commander Jin headed east, and after digging only forty or fifty meters, he encountered fragments of a metal gate, which led him into the interior of a villa.

Continuing forward, Lord Jin Ye Nan soon sensed the metal structure.

Running north to south, there are five metal buildings of varying sizes in a row. The materials used are of extremely high grade and still retain some of the original energy properties. Lord Jin Nan was unable to break down the gate.

The insects changed their route and entered the villa through the second-floor window, quickly cleaning up and searching the place.

Jin used his spiritual energy to scan the area, his figure flashed, and he headed straight for the top floor of the main building.

The heavy metal door was half-open.
Behind the door is a simply decorated circular space, over seventy meters in diameter and twenty to thirty meters high, with six regular hexagonal metal pillars.

The villa owner's meditation room!
Empty.

The pure black metallic floor, with its intricate silver-gray and dark gold primal energy patterns, is not merely decoration, but rather a set of inscription arrays that gather primal energy.

In the center is a disc with a diameter of 60 centimeters and a thickness of about 10 centimeters, with a silver-gray base and silver-white patterns.

Meditation cushion.

The building had been submerged in underground seepage water for a long time. During the excavation, most of the seepage water flowed out automatically and was cleaned up during the excavation process.

This meditation cushion must have been submerged in water all along, yet it shows no signs of decay and remains bright and fresh.

"There's a show!"

Jin Xin's head suddenly twitched, and he flashed forward, raised his paw to pick it up, and injected his primal force to try. The silver-white inscription on the surface of the futon was activated, emitting a hazy white light.

Jin Xin seemed to sense something and separated a wisp of spiritual energy, injecting it into the futon.

A contractual relationship has been successfully established.

With a quick thought, he removed the spider silk bag from his back armor, opened it, poured out five primal crystals, and placed them on the ground.

Controlling the ordinary suspended crystal with his mind, just as he was preparing for his next move, Lord Tuanhua and Lord Huangying rushed in.

"gold!"

"Another one of these?"

"Wait a minute? Something's not right?"

"How is it floating?"

"This one isn't broken?"

"It's not completely broken yet?"

"A perfectly intact Force Convergence Shield?"

Lord Tuanhua and Lord Huangying stepped forward quickly, their eyes drawn to the five primal crystals placed on the ground.

"Mr. Jin, what are you doing?"

"This thing seems a bit different from the ones we've dug up before."

"The materials and workmanship are much more advanced."

"It seems to be made of an immortal material, similar to those battle armors?"

"..."

The other insects' mental energy was scanning everywhere, and they quickly noticed the situation upstairs. Realizing that something good might have been discovered, they all rushed over.
