Dawn Spider

Chapter 216 Who is your ancestor?
The Insectoids do have the concept of 'work,' but it's all temporary. This includes the management of the Seamon Peak Forest, where the Flame Spider Warriors on each peak take turns working.

A job like Jin's, which is long-term, stable, and paid with divinely bestowed food and energy, is absolutely unprecedented in the pantheon of nature gods.

Red Tooth, Mountain Olive, and Fragrant Water Chestnut would definitely be happy to join.

The development plan requires 5 Flame Spider Warriors, with 3 slots tentatively allocated. Next year, Sangan will accompany Jin to Ivory Island for an internship.

Passing by Qimu Peak and Huangge Mountain, the agreement was reached. Shanlan then accompanied them to Sikui Mountain to learn about the business there.

...

...

Returning to Mount Sikui
Jin headed straight for the east side of the mountain peak.

On the eastern side of the mountain, Lord Huang Qi was hired at a high price to modify the terrain and use earth and stone abilities to build a large number of luxurious nests specifically for ordinary flame spiders to live in.

The purple flame spiders bred using biotechnology, as well as the earth-yellow flame spiders that inherited the golden bloodline, were all assigned to settle in the eastern territory.

Over the course of more than half a year, most of them have grown to the 5th or 6th age, and the faster ones have already reached the 7th age.

Despite Silver and Taro's meticulous care, some spiders inevitably died during the molting and growth process, and this was quite common. Originally, about 9500 purple flame spiders hatched, but now less than 7000 remain. The remaining number of the yellowish-brown flame spiders, which inherit the bloodline of Gold, is also about the same.

When food is plentiful and there are no predators, the most dangerous period for the common flame spider to grow is during its molting stage. As it grows older, the risk of failure gradually decreases, and after the 6th instar, the risk is very small.

—6000 is not enough.

—Should we train another batch?
Jin gazed at the sparse little flame spiders on the hillside, lost in thought.

Many of the little spiders also noticed the arrival of Jin and his group, especially the blue-purple Jin, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Why is this giant spider the same color as us?"

"Who is this?"

"I do not know."

"I heard there are three-headed flame spider warriors on Mount Silk Sunflower, could it be this one?"

"may be."

"..."

The spiders peered out curiously, rubbing their chelicerae in discussion.

Jin was speechless for a moment, then rubbed his claws together and said, "I'm your ancestor! Behave yourself!"

"Who are you?"

"What did you say?"

"Who is your ancestor?"

"..."

Spider-shaped air fryer.

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

The taro swayed its leaves and made a sound, but I didn't understand what it was trying to express.

Yin said with a headache, "Fourth Brother, there's a problem. As these little flame spiders grow older, they've started to become disobedient and crawl around everywhere."

"There are two problems. First, due to their different colors and body shapes, they do not get along with the common flame spiders of Silky Mountain. They fight with flame spiders from the north and south of the mountain, and the fights are particularly fierce. Many of them have been injured, maimed, or even killed."

"Secondly, when they reach adulthood and reproduce naturally with ordinary flame spiders, will they turn back to brownish-yellow due to bloodline contamination?"

Yin asked, "Fourth Brother, should we ask Lord Huang Qi to come over and use his earth-based abilities to build a smooth, high wall to isolate them?"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Taro shook its leaves vigorously, making a sound of approval.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain said, "It would be great if another blue-purple Flame Spider Warrior were born. We can arrange for it to take root on a nearby mountain and relocate these purple Flame Spiders."

The swirling wind immediately said, "We can relocate them to the termite kingdom on Ivory Island and settle them in Dafeng Mountain. There are no spiders there to fight with them, and they have more food than they can eat."

Jin's eyes lit up.

this is a good idea!

Termites are purely vegetarian. Animals killed within the territory of the red-headed termite kingdom are usually used for composting.

Moving to the termite kingdom can effectively solve the problem of the lord spider of the Silky Mountain facing heavy hunting pressure as the colony expands in the future.

"Dafeng's suggestion is excellent!"

Jin instructed, "Dafeng, return to the termite kingdom immediately and inquire with the Secret Order Ant King."

"Roger that!"

The strong wind rose vertically into the air, turning into a bluish-yellow streak of light, and disappeared rapidly.

Watching the strong wind leave,

Jin said, "Let's go up the mountain first and take care of the transaction."

...

The Gold, Silver, and Red Cone Mountain Masters checked the accounts together, verifying the profits from last year's cooperative transactions regarding the genetically modified divine-given primal force food, confirming that the quantity and types were correct.

After sorting them into categories, they were handed over to the Lord of Red Cone Mountain, who, together with the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain, would later send them to the warehouse of the Sea Lemon Peak Kingdom.

Done,

Jin said, "Last year's cooperative processing yielded a surplus of 35, the Blood Camphor God-given Seeds brought in 1, and I also received a 1 service fee for processing God-given Force food for Lord West Serpent. The total surplus was 37."

"I used 7 for my own growth and evolution, and I still have 30 left. Lord Silk Sunflower Mountain, you can consider molting and evolving to the 6th age this year."

Master Sikui Mountain briefly agreed, "Alright!"

Jin then took out a container containing a high-grade ordinary gene serum that had been excavated from the ruins.

The overall physical enhancement formula originally had two and a half tubers. Half a tuber was given to Xiao Zuo Wang Huo Ya and Hong Ye, leaving two tubers and 20 pills. The estimated value is around 20.

Jin said, “This stuff is quite precious, and more importantly, it’s rare. Let’s share it. The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain and the Lord of Red Cone Mountain will each have 5. Me, Yin, Tianlan, Shanlan, and Xiangling will each take 2. Shanlan, you can take 2 back to Xiangling.”

"it is good!"

"Row!"

"Boss Jin is very generous."

The insects agreed.

After everything was settled, Shanlan followed Silk Sunflower and the Lord of Red Cone Mountain to deliver goods to Sea Lemon Peak, entered the kingdom's warehouse to see various Force foods, and systematically learned about them.

Silver and Sky Blue went to visit Zerg warriors who seemed to have loan needs, to handle loan deals agreed upon in previous years, and to revisit Zerg warriors who already had loans to ensure they were all well and to prevent them from dying suddenly during their breakthrough evolution.

Jin carried taro down the mountain.

...

"Gold~ Gold~ Gold~ Gold..."

The golden vine sensed the return of gold and, through the bond of souls, chanted and called out frantically, as if reciting scriptures.

Sensing that gold was finally getting closer little by little, it continuously transmitted angry and urging mental energy.

"..."

"Golden Leaf Vine?"

"What about the treasures unearthed from those ruins?"

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

Taro got excited first, shaking the taro leaves vigorously: Don't waste the raw crystals!
"A treasure? You mean the meditation cushion?"

"A meditation cushion? That's it!"

"Where's the stuff? Bring it here right now."

"Hasn't it been tested? That thing consumes too much power."

"What consumption? What is being consumed?"

"Nonsense! Of course it's raw crystal or raw stone."

"Weren't you digging for treasure? Didn't you make a fortune? Stingy Spider! And Taro, you idiot, it's all Spider Primal Crystals. I used Spider Primal Crystals, so what are you being so stingy about?"

Do you know how much you consume every day?

"How many can there be?"

"Preliminary estimate: daily consumption is approximately 1000 Primogems!"

"How many?"

Upon hearing about the explosion, Jin Yeteng was furious and suspicious. "Spider, are you kidding me?"

Jin raised his claw and pointed at the taro, too lazy to say anything more.

Taro frantically tapped its eleventh leaf at the top, making a rustling sound.

"..."

"Is that alien civilization trash?"

"What's the point of making this thing?"

"No wonder they perished underground, they deserved it, they died stupidly..."

Golden Vine was extremely disappointed and cursed incoherently. Finally, she said dejectedly, "Spider, you're no better. You can't even afford 1000 raw stones a day. You're too poor."

Nonsense! Who the hell can afford that?
Even if you can afford it, you can't waste it like this.

Jin Daqi said, "Golden Leaf Vine, it's alright. One day I'll be rich. I can use the meditation cushion as I please. I won't mind spending 1000 primal stones a day."

"..."

Does it think I'm a three-year-old sapling? The golden vine is too lazy to bother with me.

Jin turned around, stretched out his front legs, and looked up at the top of the trellis, scanning and observing with his mental energy.

After the third fruit expansion, the oval fruit swelled up a lot, reaching a length of over 3 centimeters.

The fruit is crystal clear like an ice cube, and its interior is covered with ice crystal-like primal force patterns, autonomously absorbing natural primal force.

Jin brought over a bag of raw stones, scraped them to release his primal energy, and replenished the Golden Leaf Vine with primal energy. Taro stepped forward, and one after another, five of them began to grow.

Handle it well.
Next, proceed to plot 01 to examine the divinely bestowed seeds of pokeweed.

With an additional investment of 30 raw stones, the God-given Seed of Pokeweed has maintained a normal growth rate for the past few years. However, its normal growth rate is terribly slow, with the tree only reaching a height of about 9 meters.

Jin arranged for the taro to release its growth ability for 15 consecutive times, and used 500 raw stones in one go to replenish the original energy of the pokeweed seed bestowed by the gods.

Next, we went to check out the Blood Camphor Tree Seed bestowed by the gods.

The Blood Camphor Tree, a divinely bestowed seed, has an exceptionally volatile temperament, and its extremely unfriendly spiritual energy can be felt from a great distance.

Kim stood watching from a distance.

The tree is over 50 meters tall. Two years ago, 1000 fruits were reserved. After harvesting last year, the income was 1 yuan. At the same time, 1200 fruits were reserved last year, and the income this year is expected to increase to 1.2 yuan.

As the tree grows larger, fruit production increases, and profits rise accordingly.

However, this improvement is limited; it is estimated that an annual income of 1.5 is the limit for the advanced stage of the Blood Camphor Tree's Divine Gift Seed.

Jin took the taro and went to check on the Black Oak God-given Seed.

The Black Oak, a divinely bestowed variety, has exceeded 60 meters in height and has broken through the rapid growth phase after advancing to a higher level; its growth has now stabilized. Last year, it only grew two to three meters in height, and its growth rate is expected to decrease year by year thereafter.

Correspondingly, fruit yield will tend to stabilize. Last year, there were 1541 fruits, and this year there may be a little more, but not by much.

The Black Oak Seed is of the water element, and perhaps due to the influence of elemental power, its emotions tend to stabilize as it evolves and grows.

Jin walked up to the tree, gave it a token warning, and then nothing more.

Jin retrieved the raw stone and used it to replenish the Black Oak's divinely bestowed seed with the necessary primal force.

Taro releases its initial growth ability to help it grow.

...

...

Jin led Taro around the southern part of the mountain territory, and then came to the foot of the eastern side of the mountain. Standing on the high slope, he observed the little flame spiders below.

The master of Sikui Mountain delivered the goods to Haimeng Peak Square and may not be back for two or three days.

The other spiders in the territory can go hungry; it doesn't matter if a few starve to death. But the little purple flame spider that inherited its bloodline cannot.

After observing for a while, Jin went into the jungle to hunt for food, brought it back, and fed it to the little ones.
