Dawn Spider

The "King" in the Flame Spider Kingdom and Ivory Island Kingdom means "King-level," referring to a kingdom ruled by warriors of the King-level rank.

By advancing to Spider King or Insect King, one automatically gains the qualification to participate in the management of the clan and the power to make decisions on major matters.

...

In mid-April, news spread that the Partridge Lord of the Great Poison Armor Tribe had successfully broken through to become the Insect King. It went viral on the island and became the hottest topic of the year, overshadowing the impending fog tide crisis.

The Ivory Island Kingdom has only 11 Insect Kings in total. The Partridge Insect King is the 12th and the youngest. He is a young Insect King who is just over 100 years old and has a great chance to become a peak Insect King like the Ancient Hook Spider King and the Sumeru Insect King in the future.

You definitely need to befriend this kind of insect.

Jin, leading Xiangling and Dafeng, busied themselves with trading while also taking time out of their busy schedules to travel day and night towards Partridge Mountain.

As soon as they entered the territory of Partridge Mountain, Lord Jin Nan rushed towards them.

"Mr. Jin?"

Lord Jin Nan cried out, demanding, "Have you forgotten about us? We're working ourselves to the bone digging tunnels!"

"I remember..."

Jin countered, "Did you dig it up?"

"We've found it! We've found a level 3 ruin where an ordinary alien race lives. We found it about two weeks ago, but we haven't been able to contact you, so we don't know which way to dig further."

Lord Jin Nan questioned again, "The wind hasn't come looking for us for almost twenty days, has it? Have you really forgotten about us?"

"How can it be!"

Jin explained, "I've been busy with transactions lately, constantly on the go, and haven't had time to attend to your side."

Are you busy?

Lord Jin Nan turned to the side and asked, "Then what are you doing here at Partridge Mountain?"

You're talking nonsense! Of course I'm just joining in the fun! And taking the opportunity to get closer to the newly crowned King of Partridges.

"work!"

Jin replied confidently, then asked, "Lord Jin Nan, what did you dig up? A road sign?"

"Yes."

Lord Jin Nan raised its claws, unleashing pure metallic primal energy that compacted the overgrown ground. Its tentacles touched the earth, continuously releasing metallic primal energy that impacted the ground, etching four elegant and dynamic characters:

[Emperor Continent Academy]

Jin saw that the eight spider eyes gleamed brightly.

Lord Jin Nan gently slid his antennae, circling the characters for 'Imperial Continent' and then the characters for 'Academy', and said:
"Being intelligent and eager to learn, I have also studied some knowledge about foreign civilizations. These two characters should represent Ruins No. 1002, or rather, a general term for a large territory centered on Ruins No. 1002."

Lord Jin Nan slid his antennae and circled the words 'Academy' again, saying, "These two characters generally mean a level 0 ruin."

"However, normally, the names of level 0 ruins consist of six or seven characters. I heard from the King of Eshu Insects that the more characters a ruin has, the more powerful it is?"

"What do these four characters mean when put together? Mr. Jin, do you think it's necessary to dig over there and find out?"

"have it……"

Jin was somewhat speechless.

Who told you that more characters mean more power?
The King of the Curcuma Insects learned a few basic things from me, but only the basics.

Lord Jin Nan learned a few more tricks from the King of the Curcuma Insects...

This Imperial Continent Academy is no ordinary institution.

In human civilization, only those with exceptionally high aptitude for the Force, exceptional comprehension, or the most brilliant minds who have made significant achievements in the field of science and technology are qualified to enter the home planet for further study and learn more advanced knowledge.

The Human Federation is a unified entity comprised of 138 republics established by 138 progenitors, but internally divided into 138 relatively independent factions. Each faction has wealthy and powerful families, as well as meritorious nobles. The talented offspring of these powerful families have access to specialized training academies upon entering their home planet.

The 'Imperial Continent Academy' was a training ground built on the home planet of the Mist Republic, exclusively for the children of the powerful and wealthy to cultivate and advance their studies. These privileged youths were highly likely to possess invaluable treasures that have survived to this day!

"This is a nice site; it's worth digging it up and taking a look."

Jin pretended to ponder for a moment before giving his judgment.

"Can we dig?"

Lord Jin Nan looked suspicious and said, "Boss Jin, I heard that the King of Eshu Insects has unearthed a level 0 ruin and has made some good gains. We can't afford to make a mistake and fall behind!"

"You can't glean much information from just four characters, can you? Why don't you come and see for yourself?"

Lord Jin Nan said, "In Partridge Mountain, Partridge is considered my junior. I'll arrange for him to come and pay his respects to you later. As for us, business is more important!"

"..."

Jin Ning choked, then waved her paw and called out, "Let's not visit the Partridge King yet, let's go check out the ruins!"

...

...

Three small hills were formed by freshly excavated rocks and soil from deep underground, stacked in a perfect equilateral triangle.

In the center, there is a passageway more than six meters wide that spirals downwards.

Blood fruit, white worm, and cluster flower insects are resting at the entrance passage.

Jin arrived.
After a brief greeting, the insects went underground together to check the situation.

The main highway, winding south, branched off to the southeast at this point, with a road sign placed at the intersection.

Two lines of characters:

Xingan New Town

[Emperor Continent Academy]

Lord Jin Nan learned something from the King of Eshu Insects, knowing that the word 'town' represented a level three settlement of alien civilization, and directed his team to dig forward for a distance.

The tunnel was dug into the county town, but it stopped at the second intersection in front of the town's crisscrossing roads.

There are still dilapidated metal road signs at the intersection.

Even without careful examination, just looking at the one or two remaining characters, you can tell it's the classic "East Section 2 of Jianshe Road" and "West Section 2 of Jianshe Road"...

Jin Shen scanned the area with his spiritual power, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's try digging further ahead. Jin Nan and Lord Blood Fruit need to be extra careful and not miss any remaining road signs at every intersection."

Lord Jin Nan asked, "Boss Jin, are you sure we should dig forward?"

"uncertain……"

Jin said, "In the ruins of ordinary alien settlements, the roads are crisscrossed and the situation is complicated. There's very little information to guide us; we can only dig and see as we go." "Alright!"

“I told you to keep digging, but you wouldn’t listen.”

"I also said to keep digging forward. See, we wasted more than ten days."

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's get started! Let's get started!"

"..."

Fire and White Night summoned the ant colony, and the insects began their work.

The situation on site was indeed complex, so Jin stayed on site to be ready to respond at any time.

Now, during the busy harvest season when the divinely bestowed seeds are ripening, Xiangling, carried by the strong wind, continues her cooperative trading work.

Dafeng is known to all insects on Ivory Island; he knows every insect Jin recognizes.

Da Feng introduced Xiangling to warriors from various tribes and mountain strongholds.

...

On Jin's side, progress was exceptionally smooth. They dug straight ahead along the road into town, traversing the town, and upon exiting, they unearthed a crucial road sign:

[Emperor Continent Academy]

[2 km]

The distance information is marked, more than 20 kilometers.

Based on the team's digging speed, they should be able to find the location within a month.

Jin simply stayed on site and waited for the outcome.

...

It's already the end of May.

The newly opened entrance and exit to the ruins
Jin is using the surrounding vegetation as targets, diligently practicing a combined attack technique that combines his banishment ability with spatial spider silk.

The ant colony, which had been lying on a nearby mound watching, suddenly became restless, stood up, and raised its antennae.

A torch burst forth from the ground, and someone shouted excitedly, "Boss Jin! We've found ruins!"

Did we finally dig it up?

"Have a look!"

The golden figure flickered and appeared at the cave entrance, then flickered again and appeared a hundred meters deep.

I jogged all the way and soon arrived at the construction site.

The team is digging along a fork in the road that leads to the right.

Jin Nan and Blood Fruit Lord came forward to greet them.

"Mr. Jin, there are many metal buildings ahead!"

Lord Jin Nan raised his paw and pointed to the left, saying, "There are also metal buildings over there! It's confirmed that we've unearthed a settlement of alien Force warriors."

"very good!"

Jin instructed, "Don't rush to dig forward. Dig a spiral tunnel upwards to enter and exit, and use the excavated soil to seal off the way in from the back. Be careful to make the entrance and exit on the ground well hidden so that other insects don't discover it, otherwise a large swarm of insects will come and try to steal it from us."

"understand!"

"Ok!"

The insects agreed and adjusted their digging direction.

Two days later, the passage to and from the underground ruins was dug.

Just one day later, a horizontal tunnel led directly to the four-story villa, which was made entirely of metal.

Compared to the seaside villa excavated from site 1002, this villa is much smaller in scale, exquisite, and made of high-quality materials, still retaining its original energy characteristics.

Lord Jin Nan couldn't open the main gate, so the insects entered the villa through the side window.

Having already gained experience, we headed straight to the top-floor meditation room.

Jin activated his blinking ability and arrived first. The door was half-open, and in the center of the hemispherical space with a radius of about twenty-five meters, there was a meditation cushion.

The surface of the cushion showed signs of corrosion; I picked it up to examine it…

"Mr. Jin?"

"How about it?"

"bad?"

"..."

The other insects followed and rushed up.

"bad!"

Jin Taizhao tossed it to Lord Jinnan and ordered, "Everyone, search everywhere and quickly find out any valuable items!"

...

The insects rampaged through the villa, quickly ransacking every room, only finding a few worthless everyday items.

Continue excavating the second, third, fourth...

As expected of a prestigious academy, there are two villa communities outside the school, and students live in villas equipped with meditation rooms.

But since he was still a student supported by his family, he didn't have many valuables, and none of them have been preserved intact to this day. Moreover, many of them were empty, clearly indicating that they had been packed up and moved.

They excavated 20 detached villas in succession, finding that all the meditation cushions were broken, and 14 gene agent storage boxes were also empty. The rest were various small daily necessities with no practical value.

—The students aren't doing a good job!
Jin decided to suspend the excavation in the villa area and directed the team to move forward along the main road, digging towards the campus.

Two days later,

The Blood Fruit Lord suddenly sensed something, his mental energy surged and spread, sending out a warning of danger.

"Everyone be careful! There's another high-pressure gas explosion ahead!"

Lord Jin Nan carefully sensed the surroundings and exclaimed in surprise, "A large amount of metal debris, like last time, with many remnants of primordial crystals!" (End of Chapter)
