Dawn Spider

Red-headed termite kingdom.

Apple Hill.

The hall at the foot of the mountain where distinguished guests are received.

"This thing is worth 3000 million?"

The Secret Order Ant King held a dark green bead formed from the Wood King's Heart Armor in its two claws, examining it repeatedly with its spiritual power. It could only sense that the material was very high-end, but it couldn't discern any particular advantage or disadvantage.

Zi Ye replied, "We tried asking the King of Thorn Hedge Trees. 3000 million was the price set by the King of Sumeru Insects. The King of Sumeru Insects bought one for the King of Thorn Hedge Trees, so it must have lowered the price. The actual value may be higher than 3000 million."

The Secret Order Ant King asked, "What are the specific effects? Zi Ye, please explain in detail."

"Ok!"

Zi Ye agreed, saying, "I will grant you three wood-based abilities, named Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers, Wood King Star Shield, and Azure Wood Eye, with two passive effects..."

Zi Ye described in detail the results of the Wood King's Heart Armor ability test.

The Secret Order Ant King, along with Fire Tube, Fire Sprout, White Night, Red Night, and other Zo Kings, all listened with awe and wonder.

The Secret Order Ant King asked, "Gold, you get 25% of the share; Wind, you get 5%, you each get half a coin... how should this be handled?"

Jin replied, "They were sold to Lord Zifeng of Wuchao Mountain and Lord Huangying of Polei Mountain respectively, at a price of 3000 million each."

"3000 million!"

The Secret Order Ant King asked, "Gold, then help me sell these two...two sets of Wood King Heart Armor? Sending them to the Southern Continent should fetch a higher price, right?"

"It should be possible, but I wouldn't recommend it."

Jin raised his paw and pointed upwards, asking, "Secret Order Ant King, isn't the Apple Ficus divine-given seed rooted on the mountaintop a wood-type? We can keep it for it. A king-level divine-given seed, clad in the Wood King Heart Armor, possesses both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can also command 'Bean Soldiers' to assist in battle and manage its territory..."

Jin started to speak, but then he couldn't continue.

In a termite kingdom with millions of soldier and worker termites, the "bean-to-soldier" ability of Wood King Armor is essentially useless.

Jin adjusted his words and said, "The Jupiter King Shield can guard the royal nest, and when necessary, it can activate the Eye of Azure Wood to deal with powerful enemies. Keeping this thing will greatly enhance the overall strength of the termite kingdom in the future."

"That makes some sense..."

"However, compared to the millions of king-level ant soldiers, the wooden king heart armor is not that important."

The Secret Order Ant King insisted, "Gold, find out and help me sell it for a high price."

The Secret Order Ant King shook its antennae, pointed to the two boxes of wood-type gene agents that had been returned, and said, "And this, I'd also like to trouble you to help me exchange it for a divinely bestowed resource at the king level."

“Jin, we’ve made a fortune by excavating ruins with you all these years. We have the resources for the four evolutionary lords: Fire Tube, Firethorn, White Night, and Purple Night. The Queen Ant and I can now use the resources with peace of mind and continue to evolve.”

"In a termite kingdom, only after the king and queen have evolved to the king level can they be considered true kings and truly dominate their territory."

"As for the wild apple banyan tree on the mountaintop, a divine gift, we probably won't live to see it evolve into the Tree King. Jin, didn't you want to develop your own Round Purple Flame Spider tribe? In the future, we can leave it to you, and you can leave it to your descendants. Take good care of it, and perhaps it will succeed in a few hundred or a thousand years."

gold:"……"

Jin asked, "What about the granular fertilizer that was sent back? You tried it, right? It couldn't have been ineffective, could it?"

"It works, and the effect is quite good."

The Secret Order Ant King shook its antennae and said, "You should know that Force plants, like Force warriors, also have different levels of talent. This Apple Ficus is not talented. When the Cluster Flower Ant Queen and I took over, it was already at the Mountain Lord level, and it's been almost two hundred years now, and it's still at the Mountain Lord level."

"This granular fertilizer might help it break through its bottleneck and advance to the Lord level, but the improvement will still be limited. After reaching the Lord level, it will take at least five, six, seven, or eight hundred years to break through to the Evolution King level, or at most a thousand years. In short, we can't outlast it. Jin, I'm afraid you can't outlast it either."

"..."

Jin had no reply, but agreed, "Okay, I'll ask around for you."

Jin Xin's mind raced, and he said, "Secret Order Ant King, I'll help you sell one set of the Wood King Heart Armor first. You keep one set, and I'll buy it when I have enough resources in my claws in the future."

The Secret Order Ant King asked curiously, "Didn't you already have two sets? What do you need so many for?"

Jin said, "One set is reserved for the Divinely Bestowed Evil Spirit Taro; one set is for the Flame Spider Tribe of the Twin Islands of Saluo; and one set is reserved for my future Round Purple Flame Spider Tribe."

"Oh……"

The Secret Order Ant King thought for a moment and readily agreed, "No problem!"

"Okay, that's settled."

"I'll go back to Dafeng Mountain to check on the little Flame Spider first."

Jin took his leave, got up and retrieved the two boxes of Wood-type Divine Gene Agent and a set of Wood King Heart Armor, which he packed and carried on his back.

The Secret Order Ant King asked, "Gold, have you opened your first shop in Blue Shark Harbor Plaza?"

"Yes."

Jin said, "However, for now we'll only be selling granular fertilizer. We'll add more stock gradually as we see how things go."

The Secret Order Ant King asked, "What about the loan business?"

Jin said, "Then we'll have to take it slow and start again in a few years. I don't have any insects under my command that can handle heavy responsibilities, so I have to do most of the work myself. I'm too busy. Right now, it seems that the income from excavating ruins is much higher than the profits from running shops and lending money. I'll excavate more ruins when I have time." "That's true!"

The secret order ant king asked, "How long will this rest last? When will we start digging again?"

Jin replied, "July."

...

...

Mount Dafeng is home to over 4 round purple flame spiders of all sizes.

As March arrived,

The second generation of naturally reproduced flame spiders have been hatching one after another. With a sufficient food supply, the survival rate is relatively high. It is estimated that more than 20,000 of the blue-purple flame spiders will survive.

With enough living space, the population size will explode until the habitable territory of Great Wind Mountain is full, leaving no place for the newly born Flame Spiders to stand, and they will be squeezed out of the population...

Then we can also modify the nearby mountains and build several more survival bases, expanding the population to millions.

With such a large pool of participants, the chances of producing new warriors naturally increase accordingly.

...

It's been two years since I evolved into an 8-year-old advanced warrior, on and off, and I've used up all 120 original crystals I planned.

It's just a tiny bit off.

Jin rested for several days at Dafeng Mountain, and then used a few more primal crystals to accelerate his meditation. After some preparation, he went into a deep sleep to evolve.

...

Upon waking from its slumber, it sheds its old shell, and the new carapace quickly solidifies.

A peak-level advanced warrior at age 9!

The mental energy spread out in a linear pattern, reaching a maximum detection range of 650 meters.

It gathered its strength and surveyed itself, its legs stretching to 3 meters, making it a large spider that was almost an adult.

A translucent spider silk thread was extracted for examination, and its strength was slightly improved.

This evolution utilized divinely bestowed primal force food worth 12 to enhance overall physique, resulting in a significant improvement in physical condition.

Jin moved his legs and feet, feeling the surging power and vitality within his body, and was very satisfied with the improvement he had made in this early stage of development.

This evolution also includes an improvement in spatial abilities.

Jin took back the meditation cushion, glanced at it briefly, and put it aside.

It raised its claws and drew a horizontal line in front of it, activated its blink ability, and disappeared. The next moment, it teleported back into the air, scanned the area with its mental energy, and then flashed back to the cave entrance.

125 m.

Consuming more than 120 Primal Crystals, the flashing limit distance is increased by about 23 meters, with an average increase of 1 meter for every 5.2 Primal Crystals.

The difficulty of increasing the blink distance increases steadily and linearly. Next, it should take 6 primal crystals to increase it by 1 meter.

"gold!"

Chi Cang, who had been guarding the cave entrance, was startled awake from his slumber, somewhat bewildered. "Is it all over? Is the evolution complete?"

"All right."

Jin explained, "This time, I molted and evolved after a two-year interval, and I used a lot of God-given Force food of the composite physique type, and I also had the Force Convergence Shield to assist me, so I completed it very quickly."

Jin changed the subject and asked, "Lord Crimson Mountain, how long did it take me?"

Chi Cang silently calculated and said, "Two days? Two whole days and two nights, plus half a night."

This is a very fast pace, which clearly shows that Kim is in excellent condition.

Jin ate simply, rested for three days, bid farewell to the Secret Order Ant King, and set off ahead of schedule with Chi Cang and Da Feng.

The Crimson Azure's carapace was stacked with 11 Primal Crystal storage boxes, carrying large bags of granular fertilizer numbered 4-01 and 3-02 to 3-11. The Gold's carapace was stacked with 5 Primal Crystal storage boxes, carrying small bags of granular fertilizer samples. Wandering south, they visited tribes large and small, actively promoting their products and informing them of the Shanglu Mall built at the Azure Shark Port Trading Plaza.

As for the matter entrusted by the Secret Order Ant King—selling the Wood King's Heart Armor—that was as simple as it could be.

Mount Suoyu cultivates a lord-level variegated winged tree, a divinely bestowed seed, which is of the wood element.

When Jin passes by, he should communicate with the Arrow Feather Insect King of the Red Banana Arrow Mantis tribe.

In the previous negotiations regarding the Shanglu Mall, the Arrow Feather Insect King had also accepted bribes from Jin.

The agreement was reached in just a few words.

However, payments would need to be made in installments. The tribe would gradually raise the funds, paying 100 million annually for 30 years. (End of Chapter)
