Dawn Spider

The wooden box lid bears a record of the three abilities bestowed upon the Wood King's Heart Armor: first, the ability to create soldiers from beans; second, the Wood King's Star Shield; and third, the Azure Wood Eye - Forbidden.

The third ability is marked with the word 'forbidden'.

It roughly means that its destructive power is enormous, and its use is prohibited on inhabited planets or star systems.

……

The divinely bestowed seed of the large-fruited thorn hedge was somewhat reckless; its primal energy surged within its branches, and its spiritual power locked tightly onto the Sumeru Insect King.

"Danger!"

"Hide!"

Upon seeing this, Jin cried out in terror and dodged away, instantly teleporting to hide under the divinely bestowed seed of the giant thorn hedge.

"what?"

The malevolent, surging wood-elemental energy, about to erupt, slowly subsided. The mental energy originally aimed at the Sumeru Insect King shifted and headed towards the gold beneath the tree.

"Purple-haired spider, I've been watching you for a long time."

"My name is Jin."

"Golden Retriever, what ability did you just use?"

"Another type of ability."

"You directly traversed through space?"

"seems like it."

"Then let's use spatial abilities!"

"..."

"Where did it come from?"

"Mutated."

"You're lying! It's impossible for a low-level insect to mutate into such a high-level power talent."

“We also have a pokeweed seed from the gods on Mount Sikui, which was the first to mutate and develop this spatial talent. When I was still an ordinary little flame spider, I accidentally ate its fruit and then mutated.”

"Hmph! That's more like it! I knew it. Only noble plants could mutate to produce such high-level power."

The Great Thorn Hedge Tree, a gift from the gods, said with a hint of envy, "This spatial power is amazing! This should be a high-end power that only those above the King level can control. I don't understand how you managed to control such power... You, this little purple-haired spider, are not bad either."

This divinely bestowed seed, with its extremely wicked nature, seems to have a perception of power that exceeds the Tree King's capabilities.
Jin's heart tightened.

Spatial power is indeed not something that advanced junior soldiers can master.

The reason I was able to do this was because I relied on the transformation of my body by the ancient artifact, the Time-Space Cube.

Jin didn't dare to reply.

While they were talking, the insects, including Blood Fruit, Purple Wind, Golden Nanmu, Cluster Flower, White Cang, Yellow Cherry, Purple Night, and Great Wind, all hid under the tree trunk.

The Sumeru Insect King also hid there.

The spiritual power of the divinely bestowed seed of the Great Thorn Hedge Tree was once again directed at the Sumeru Insect King.

"Old longhorn beetle, where are you running to?"

"Thorn fence, don't mess around, that thing is dangerous."

"Are you afraid?"

"Provocation? I'm not falling for that."

"Then how can I demonstrate my abilities?"

"If you keep messing things up like this, how will people come to you for testing when they find similar treasures while excavating ruins in the future?"

"..."

The giant thorn hedge, a divinely bestowed seed, thought for a moment and said earnestly, "That makes sense."
“We need a live target. Xumi, go to the sea and look for one. Bring back a fierce spirit.”

"Ok."

"Thorn Fence, don't do anything rash."

The King of Sumeru Insects agreed, but left with great unease.

The insects trembled with fear and hid under the tree, waiting.

Late at night,
The Sumeru Insect King dragged back a ferocious spirit that looked like a mutated leopard-spotted flounder, threw it on the ridge, and ran back to the tree.

"Is the thorn fence ready?"

"It's alright, barely."

"hurry up."

"Be quiet!"

The large-fruited thorn hedge, a divinely bestowed seed, rebuked and said:

"To be on the safe side and avoid accidental injury, I will use my second and third abilities at the same time. Watch carefully."

Saying,

Within the massive branches, the wood-elemental energy surged, and the surrounding natural forces fluctuated violently. The wood-elemental energy field rapidly expanded, and in the darkness, emerald green light spots shone, intertwining with each other to form a defensive shield.

"This is the defensive capability granted by the Wood King's Heart Armor."

"Now I'm going to unleash my attack!"

The explanation of the divinely bestowed seed of the giant thorn hedge: At the same time, on a branch, buds suddenly sprouted and ears of grain emerged, blooming into a purple-blue flower that resembled an eye. The flower projected Jupiter's shield, forming a lifelike giant purple-blue eye.

Shining brightly.

Its gaze locked onto the leopard-spotted turbot spirit lying on the ridge, and the next moment, it clearly felt a strange power erupt that made the insect's heart tremble.

This power is extremely hidden, invisible, and cannot be detected by mental energy scans.

All that could be seen was the leopard-spotted turbot's scales collapsing, and countless tender green buds sprouting from its body, rapidly growing and transforming into saplings.

In an instant, the leopard-spotted turbot was completely engulfed by dense saplings.

It's like a kind of wood-based parasitic ability.

The divinely bestowed seed of the giant thorn hedge is indeed beyond the control of this power.

Out of control of the force

Ahead on the mountain ridge, within a radius of several kilometers, all the plant trunks and leaves were sprouting. If you looked closely, you could see that the insects and beasts on the ground, and the birds in the sky, were all being consumed by the out-of-control force.

The dense, tender green buds parasitized and submerged a large area of ​​all kinds of plants and animals.

It grows wildly, then withers and dies.

Centered on the leopard-spotted flounder's malevolent spirit, an area within a radius of four to five kilometers was transformed into a desolate wasteland.

The Great Thorn Hedge Tree, a divinely bestowed seed, said slowly, "This is the power of my abilities, which I have tried my best to control. If I were to unleash it at full strength, an area of ​​forty to fifty kilometers in radius would be eroded by this destructive force, and all life within that area would be reduced to nothing." As it spoke,

The purple-blue flowers on the tree have withered and the flower spikes have died.

Correspondingly, the purplish-blue eyes projected onto Jupiter's shield also disappeared.

The Jupiter-based energy field receded like a tide, contracting and gathering within the tree's core, and the Jupiter King's shield disappeared.

"The alien civilization is quite impressive. This Wooden King Heart Armor is excellent; it's practically tailor-made for me."

The Great Thorn Hedge Tree, a divinely bestowed seed, suddenly became agitated and shouted, "Test complete, little insects, you can get lost now."

gold:"……"

The Blood Fruit Lord looked at the Sumeru Insect King.

The King of Sumeru Insects said, "The test is over. Return the items to them."

"what?"

"Nonsense! Of course it's the Wood King's Heart Armor!"

"Wasn't it meant for me?"

"Who said it was given to you?"

"But I've already made a contract for the item. Aren't you going back?"

"Why aren't you going back yet? Can't you just withdraw your spiritual imprint?"

"It's bound. Bound tightly. There's no going back."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

"Stop talking nonsense. I said no, and that means no. Get out of here, all of you. If you keep arguing, I'll kill you all!"

"..."

Helpless, the Sumeru Insect King turned to look at the insects, glanced at Jin, and then looked at the Blood Fruit Lord.

"Blood Fruit, you see the situation now, the things can't be retrieved..."

The Sumeru Insect King asked, "Blood Fruit, according to your profit-sharing ratio, you're entitled to a whole piece of the Wood King Heart Armor, right?"

The Blood Fruit Lord replied, "Yes."

The Sumeru Insect King said, "How about this? This one is on your tab. Then, I'll buy it. In seven years, I'll pay off the debt for the Force Convergence Shield. After seven years, all the produce from my two God-given Seeds, as well as the other ordinary life seeds from my territory, will belong to you. I'll give you 10 years, how about that?"

"Thank you, Ancestor Sumeru!"

The Blood Fruit Lord expressed his gratitude with delight.

Its original intention was to sell its wooden king armor to the Sumeru Insect King.

The two divinely bestowed seeds of the Sumeru Insect King, Sumeru Kudzu and Big Fruit Thorn Hedge Tree, are both top-tier tree kings, capable of generating 160 million to 170 million in revenue annually.

Even ordinary life seeds yield over a million in profits. Ordinary primal force food at the king level, when fed to the beginner, intermediate, and advanced warriors of the mountain, can provide enhancement effects almost equivalent to those of advanced divine-given seeds.

Ten years of output, a profit of thirty million.

The Sumeru Insect King gently waved its antennae, looked at the Purple Wind Mountain Lord, and asked, "Purple Wind, I remember you have a 5% share of the team's profits?"

Zifeng replied, "Yes."

The Sumeru Insect King briefly explained, "This Wood King Heart Armor is quite good. You can discuss it. Zifeng, you can pay some price to acquire one. The tribe will then jointly fund the purchase."

"I see!"

Zifeng agreed.

"You two can discuss it yourselves."

The Sumeru Insect King brandished its claws.

...

...

The insects bid farewell and ran out of the spiritual power coverage of the divinely bestowed seed of the giant thorn hedge before slowing down.

"..."

"Boss Jin, this Wood King Heart Armor is much more powerful than expected!"

"Its ability to store massive amounts of primal energy is its most impressive feature!"

"The one that can transform legumes into 'plant warriors' that can move, similar to 'taro', is the most powerful! If we get a God-given seed with a good personality and reasonable manner, wouldn't we be able to command the 'plant warriors' to help with chores and manage the territory?"

"By the way, Mr. Jin, what's the name of your ability? Is it written on the wooden box?"

"Yes. The ability is called 'Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers'. The defensive ability is called 'Jupiter Shield', and the offensive ability is called 'Eye of Azure Wood'."

"Oh!"

"That 'Eye of the Azure Wood' is a bit terrifying."

"Even the Sumeru Insect King was afraid and dared not resist this power."

"..."

At this point, all the insects fell silent.

After walking quite a distance,

Jin said, "Regarding the value of the Wood King's Heart Armor, the Sumeru Insect King has already given a fairly fair price, 3000 million is quite appropriate."

"I'll take 2.5 pieces. My half can be sold to Lord Zifeng Mountain. Lord Zifeng Mountain, it will be deducted from your share of the fertilizer sales, is that alright?"

"no problem!"

Zifeng agreed.

Jin then asked, "Lord Huangying, are you sure you want to take one too?"

"Sure!"

Lord Huangying asked, "Deduct 1500 million from my share of the granular fertilizer sales and give it to Dafeng?"

Dafeng happily agreed, "Sure!"

"Alright. The allocation of the ruins is settled then."

Jin called out, "Return to Qingsha Port! The Wood King's Heart Armor has been distributed directly. Everyone, once you have your items, return to your tribe and discuss with the tribe's leaders how to proceed."

"Row!"

"Ok!"

"..."

The insects agreed and began to run. (End of Chapter)
