Dawn Spider

Currently, only one, two, or three Flame Spider Warriors are born in the entire Flame Spider Kingdom each year.

Based on probability, it should take about a hundred years for a single Silky Mountain to be born.

When the probability is low enough, it all comes down to luck.

Silk Sunflower Mountain has always been very lucky. Following Gold and Silver, only eighteen years later, another Flame Spider Warrior was born!

In contrast, Zitan Mountain, which has cultivated more than a million ordinary flame spiders, has not produced any new warriors for thirty or forty years.

Upon receiving the message,

Lord Famu and Lord Red Cone Mountain followed them to Silk Sunflower Mountain.

...

...

It was afternoon.
The master of Mount Sikui is not on the mountain.

Taro stayed alone at the entrance of the cave where she lived on the south side of the mountain.

The little soldier is sleeping in the cave's living room, in the small nest room that was previously set up for Gold and Silver to live in.

"Taro? Where is the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain?"

"Wow~"

Taro raised a root and pointed east: "They've gone fishing."
"..."

"So, I've assigned you to guard the young soldier?"

"Wow~"

"Sikui is really careless!"

"Hi~ Master Sikui has always been like this. My fourth brother and I grew up like this."

"Isn't Mount Sikui guarded by two divinely bestowed seeds, Sikui and Leilinan? There shouldn't be any danger."

"Can Force Plants really help?"

"Lord Famu, should we wake the little one up?"

"No, let it rest. Red Cone, you stay and guard it. Gold, Silver, let's go down the mountain and plan out a territory for the little warrior in advance."

"..."

In the past two years, there have been no major changes in the territory at the foot of the mountain.

The two large trees, black oak and blood camphor, are divinely ordained species. Once their trunks exceed 60 meters in height, they basically stop growing.

The Golden Leaf Vine, a divine gift, stops growing much after its main vine exceeds 50 meters, and the fruit on the tree only expands once every three years.

However, the God-given Seed of Pokeweed has been greatly benefited by the large amount of Primal Crystals that Jin has obtained from excavating the ruins in the past two years. Jin is not stingy and gives the God-given Seed of Pokeweed 15% growth ability every morning and evening. It uses 1000 Primal Crystals every day and invests nearly 40 Primal Crystals every year.

With the support of abundant resources, the pokeweed seed is not only bearing fruit but also maintaining a good growth rate. Currently, the tree is about 9.5 meters tall, and in another two years, it should be able to break through the 10-meter mark.

In the southern part of the territory, other plots are mainly planted with common silver species. Common species grow much slower than divinely bestowed species, and are constantly resting and cultivating.

Silver is currently a 7-year-old advanced warrior. It can evolve into an 8-year-old this year and into a 9-year-old next year.

After the 9th year, depending on the situation, it can break through to the Mountain Lord level after a year or two. At that time, most of the ordinary life seeds of Silver will also evolve to the Mountain Lord level, and the Mountain Lord level Force food produced will also be a source of income.

...

The woodlands on the east and north sides of the mountain are planted with common plants, with large areas planted with silk palm, tin leaf vine, pine palm, and pine tree, interspersed with other high-quality plants.

Sikui Mountain mainly manages the forest land on the north side of the mountain.

Yin and Yutou are managing forest land in Shandong.

Currently, only the western side of the entire Silk Sunflower Mountain remains undeveloped. According to the plan, this newly born Flame Spider warrior will live on the western side, with its seed taking root there.

As for woodlands where common plants are grown, they can continue to expand westward, or they can go to Shandong to help with silver and taro.

...

Lord Famu, carrying gold and silver, inspected and discussed plans for the transformation of the Silk Sunflower Mountain territory.

With Mount Silk Sunflower becoming increasingly prosperous and wealthy, and the number of Flame Spider Warriors greatly increasing, a major overhaul is necessary.

In a couple of days, we can invite Lord Huang Qi over to start construction.

...

At dusk,
The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain returned laden with food and placed it under the seed tree bestowed by the god of pokeweed. He then set off again, making another trip and bringing back a small mountain of food, which he placed under the seed tree bestowed by the god of silk sunflower on the mountainside.

There are two to three hundred thousand ordinary small flame spiders on and around the mountain. The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain needs to spend a whole afternoon every day hunting them and making two trips to feed so many ordinary small flame spiders.

When the Lord of Sikui Mountain finished his work...
The newly recruited Flame Spider warrior, who had been sleeping in the cave, seemed to smell the salty, fishy scent of food and woke up with a start. He slowly walked out of the cave and found a bunch of eyes, big and small, staring at him.

"Lord Famu?"

"Lord of Red Cone Mountain?"

"Lord of Mount Sikui, you're back!"

"Greetings, Lord Famu!"

Before the Flame Spider Warrior awakened its Force, it was probably quite old. It recognized several Flame Spider Warriors that often appeared on the mountain.

It's very likely that he's over 10 years old, not much younger than Jin and Yin.

He was a seasoned veteran, clearly understanding the hierarchy of these Flame Spider warriors within their race.

Without a doubt, the Lord of Famu held the highest position.

The little warrior frantically rubbed its chelicerae, greeted the lord enthusiastically, trotted forward, climbed up the carapace along the side leg of the Lord of Famu, and nimbly climbed to the top of his head to stand still.

Lord Sikui handed over a spider silk pouch that had been prepared beforehand and asked, "Are you hungry? Eat quickly."

"Thank you, Lord Sikui!"

The little soldier, looking obedient, raised his claws to catch the spider silk sac that floated down, politely thanked the soldier, and then, with a reserved air, slowly sucked on it.

"..."

Jin and Yin stared blankly, giving each other a cold, sidelong glance.

Weren't you pretty cocky last night?

Why did you suddenly become such a good boy/girl?

Are you pretending?
"..."

Lord Sikui Mountain could also see that this guy was trying to curry favor with Lord Famu, and was speechless for a moment.

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain went into the cave warehouse, rummaged around, and brought out a bunch of ordinary seeds.

"Lord Famu! Sikui! Check the little guy's life sac first!" "Yes!"

"Life Seed!"

Lord Famu and Lord Sikui Mountain echoed this sentiment.

Manipulating the spider silk, they carefully selected a batch of plump, vibrant seeds and placed them on the ground.

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain manipulated a spider silk, wrapped the little warrior around it, and placed it in front of the many seeds.

"Little one, what kind of plant do you like? Pick one."

"These are silk palm seeds."

"These are seeds from the red cone tree."

"This is a Famu seed."

Yin forcibly stuffed a tin-leaf vine seed into his mouth. "Come on, choose this one. If you choose it, you'll be with me and Fourth Brother from now on."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Silver was knocked away by the three-headed old spider raising its claw.

"..."

The newly recruited Flame Spider warrior watched silently, then opened its mouth and spat out a brownish-black seed, held it up in its claws to show it off, then swallowed it back, putting it back into its life sac. Unhurriedly, it rubbed its chelicerae together, making a sound:

"There's no need for you elders to worry about the matter of the seed."

“I believe that large herbaceous plants like banana trees and elephant leg bananas are the most promising life choices in nature. So, before I awakened my Force, I selected and prepared a Lava Elephant Leg Banana seed for myself, and immediately after awakening, I put it into my life sac to nurture it.”

"???"

"You've chosen your own destiny?"

"Elephant leg banana?"

"Who taught you this?"

"..."

The three-headed old spider's high spirits cooled down.

Choking back tears, Lord Famu praised, "A clever little fellow! The Lava Elephant Leg Banana is indeed an excellent choice."

"It's not bad."

Lord Sikui agreed, though he was secretly displeased.

The master of Red Cone Mountain asked, "Then what is its name? Lava? Elephant Banana? Lava Banana? Rock Banana?"

Silver raised its paw to indicate and asked, "Wasn't the naming of the little soldier already agreed upon? Gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum... in that order, its name is 'copper'."

"I have a name!"

Upon hearing Silver's words, the little Flame Spider warrior reacted fiercely, frantically rubbing its chelicerae to make a sound, "My name is Elephant Banana! You don't need to name me!"

This little thing has chosen its own destiny and even its own name.

What's the point of having elders then?
"..."

Lord Famu, Lord Sikui Mountain, and Lord Hongzhui Mountain were all speechless.

Silver persisted, saying, "The order cannot be reversed. Its official name is 'Copper,' and its former name was 'Banana.'"

Yin patiently explained, "In the Flame Spider Kingdom and the Ivory Island Kingdom, the names of my fourth brother and me, Jin and Yin, are known to every insect. They have almost become symbols of wisdom and wealth."

“You call out ‘Copper’ when you go out. As soon as you give your name, the other insects will know that you are a spider from Silk Sunflower Mountain, and that you are with Gold and Silver. No one will dare to bully you.”

The newly recruited Flame Spider warrior, unhurried, rubbed his chelicerae and asked, "Could it be that if I say I'm a junior of the Magic Wood Spider King, who would dare to bully me?"

“Hiss…Crack…”

Where did the Famu Spider King come from?
Hey!
You little bootlicker!

Yin was speechless and had no reply.

"Haha."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain mocked mercilessly, "Yin, this little guy seems to be much smarter than you."

"Ignorant of good and evil!"

Yin angrily said, "The wealth kingdom that my fourth brother and I have built will surely rule the northern twin islands and dominate the southern continent. We will possess countless raw stones and an endless supply of divinely bestowed food. Today we are giving you a chance to follow us, but you don't know how to cherish it. Humph, you will regret it in the future."

Silver muttered, "The Magic Wood Spider King? Why don't you call it Lord Silk Sunflower? How powerful do you think they are? They still need loans..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Yin was almost killed on the spot.

"Alright. Yin, stop making a fuss. It's just a form of address, no need to get hung up on it."

Jin quickly said, "The name Xiangjiao is quite good, let's call him Xiangjiao."

Jin focused his mind slightly, absorbing the primal force of nature and converting it into spatial energy. He gave a brief demonstration and then prompted:

"Xiang Jiao, you try absorbing the primal force of nature, transforming it into primal energy, and injecting it into your life sac."

Xiang Jiao remained silent, adjusted her breathing slightly, and followed suit.

The spiders focused their senses and quickly came to a conclusion.

"good!"

"pretty good."

"Much better than silver and red cone."

"Above-average Force talent."

"Not as good as Jin and Si Kui, but better than most Flame Spider Warriors."

silver:"……"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain: "..."

The banana stopped absorbing the Force, took a step and ran towards Lord Famu, then climbed up Lord Famu's back armor along its side, and ran to stand on Lord Famu's head.

"..."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain raised his paw and suggested, "This little fellow seems quite close to Lord Famu. Our Purple Sandalwood Mountain hasn't produced a young warrior in decades. Why don't you, Lord Famu, take it back to Purple Sandalwood Mountain and let it settle down?"

"no!"

The Lord of Sikui Mountain, Jin, and Yin all refuted this in unison.

Gold and silver were going out to trade, and Silk Sunflower Mountain was in dire need of spiders to manage and protect its rear territory. They had finally managed to create a little Flame Spider warrior; how could they possibly send it to Purple Sandalwood Mountain? (End of Chapter)
