Dawn Spider

12 a year, that's like having work every day!

This salary isn't so easy to collect, is it? Lord Mukui became wary and asked solemnly, "Jin, what exactly do you need me to do? What are your requirements? Can you explain in detail?"

"Very simple."

Jin said, "In the early stages, you can take me and introduce me to the various tribes in the northeastern region of the continent. I'll handle the cooperation and trade."

"In the later stages, once the business stabilizes, Lord Mukui, you will be responsible for the processing and cooperative transactions of the divinely bestowed primal force food."

"To be more specific, we will place the Force food processing equipment in a safe location. You and I, along with the Dragonfly Warriors, will travel between various tribes along a fixed route, calculating the ripening time of the God-given Seeds, promptly purchasing them, and arranging for the Dragonfly Warriors to deliver them to the equipment location for processing."

"understood."

"this is very simple!"

Lord Mukui said, "The equipment needs to be placed in a central location! In this way, it can radiate in all directions, allowing us to establish cooperative relationships with the most divinely bestowed seeds and harvest them most efficiently."

"correct."

Jin asked, "Lord Mukui, you are quite familiar with the geography of the northeastern region of the continent, aren't you?"

"Of course! I've been traveling for nearly a century and have been to many places."

Lord Mukui said, "The equipment from the alien civilization is valuable, and it also needs to be absolutely safe!"

"Yes."

Jin asked, "Lord Mukui, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Have!"

Lord Mukui hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject, saying, "Due to my race, I am exceptionally sensitive to primal energy and danger. In my perception, Jin, you are very strong, and you even possess a mysterious power that makes me, as a lord, tremble."

Lord Mukui asked, "Jin, you're only a Mountain Lord-level warrior, yet you've already crossed the sea with the team for trade. Your strength must be extraordinary, right? You awakened your elemental talent and comprehended elemental abilities at the advanced warrior stage, haven't you?"

Jin Weiwan replied, "Lord Mukui has keen insight!"

Lord Mukui asked, "It seems you've only recently been promoted to Mountain Lord? A junior Mountain Lord?"

Jin confidently replied, "A level 2 mountain lord. Having comprehended five abilities, I should be invincible at the mountain lord level."

"Five capabilities!"

"really……"

Lord Mukui was shocked. After a long pause, he asked, "Jin, you've probably heard of the 'Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent,' right?"

"I've heard a little about it..."

Jin said, "I've only heard that it's an organization composed of skilled Zerg warriors who specialize in hunting ferocious beasts, but I don't know anything more. Lord Mukui, is this organization very influential in the Southern Continent?"

"It has a huge influence!"

Lord Mukui gave an affirmative reply, saying, "'Southern Continent' is what you Northern Twin Islands call it. We are used to calling it 'Zhibai Continent,' and at least throughout the entire Eastern Continent, everyone recognizes this name."

“Jin, what I mean is, we can put the processing equipment in Black Mountain, at the headquarters of the Hunter Alliance on the Zhibo Continent. It's safe there, and the location is convenient. Most importantly, I know the Black Demon Commander, one of the seven commanders of Black Mountain.”

"Oh……"

The Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent is located deep within the continent, which Jin Zhenzhen was unfamiliar with. He politely asked, "Lord Mu Kui, could you please tell me in detail about this Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent? Its origins, who is in charge, and what exactly it does and how it does it?"

"can!"

Lord Mukui said, "Speaking of the establishment of the Hunter Alliance on the Zhibai Continent, we must first clarify the issue of ferocious beasts..."

"There are four kinds of ferocious beasts on the Zhibo Continent: Undead Beast, Thunder Beast, Flame Beast, and Ice Beast. The three elemental beasts corresponding to lightning, fire, and ice are relatively easy to deal with. Undead Beasts possess both systemic and life-based primal energy, and have an indestructible and indestructible physique."

"The undead beast's powerful physique makes its brain more developed than that of other ferocious beasts. Although it does not have a complete soul, it has a stronger sense of self, is more intelligent, and is more difficult to deal with."

"What's most disgusting is that the Undead Beast's 'Beast Orb' is a mixture of strength and life-related powers. No Zerg warrior awakens both strength and life-related talents simultaneously. Going to great lengths to kill the Undead Beast yields no benefit. Therefore, most tribes that are far from the Undead Lands and not threatened by the beast tide are unwilling to exert their efforts to deal with it."

"The scope of the undead beasts' threat continues to expand."

"In the past, the tribes, large and small, in the eastern part of Zhibai Continent fought their own battles and were mostly passively dealing with the attacks of the Undead Beasts. But in the past two or three hundred years, the frequency and intensity of the Undead Energy Field have continued to increase, and the threat range has expanded dramatically from a radius of 500 kilometers to more than 800 kilometers. Many tribes have been wiped out because of the attacks of the Undead Beasts."

"Those tribes that were far away and originally unaffected also felt the crisis." "A hundred years ago, twenty-three top tribes from the eastern continent, each with a population of over a thousand, organized tribes of all sizes, selected skilled warriors, and established the 'Zhibo Continent Hunter Alliance' with the aim of uniting to fight against and hunt the undead beasts."

"Twenty-three top clans donate divinely bestowed resources worth 100 million each year. Combined with donations from other clans and wealthy individuals, they can raise 3000 million in operating funds annually."

"We are recruiting 300 Zerg warriors of the Lord rank or above who are skilled in combat. Each of them will receive a fixed salary of 10 per year."

"To ensure fairness, the headquarters is located in Black Mountain. The Black Tribe has dispatched a wild Wisdom Tree of King-level divine gift to recruit and train warriors, select official members, and test the combat results of active-duty warriors."

"..."

Jin raised his paw to indicate, and asked, "A wild, divinely bestowed seed at the king level? Leading the Hunter Alliance of the Zhibo Continent?"

"almost."

"The King of the Cypress Trees is the supreme commander, and there are seven other Zerg warriors who serve as commanders..."

Lord Mukui said, "An ancient and wise divinely bestowed seed."

"..."

A being similar to the Sea Lemon Ancestral Tree of the Flame Spider Tribe.

Jin waved his claw and said, "Lord Mukui, please continue. What exactly do the Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent do? How do they do it?"

Lord Mukui said, "The 300 active warriors are divided into hunting squads of five, each dedicated to hunting undead beasts. There are quotas, calculated according to the lord level. Each warrior needs to hunt 100 beasts per year to be considered qualified."

"Those who are not up to standard will be eliminated immediately and replaced with more capable soldiers."

"Resources are limited, so we don't pursue quantity of warriors, but only quality. Joining the Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent means entering the ranks of the strongest warriors on the continent. Not only do you get a salary, but you also enjoy status and glory, and you are respected by insects wherever you go."

Jin asked, "What about the reserves?"

Lord Mukui said, "All Zerg tribes that aspire to become 'Hunters' Zerg warriors, who have reached the Mountain Lord level of evolution and have mastered at least two abilities, can apply to the Seed of the Gods of Zhibai."

"The Seed of Wisdom will examine and assess their Force talent, ability strength, combat talent, and fighting will. Once approved, they can become reserves and reside permanently in Black Mountain, undergoing combat training under the guidance of the Seed of Wisdom."

"If an active hunter is unfortunately killed, or is eliminated due to insufficient hunting, or is eliminated due to failure to comprehend the six abilities when evolving into a 7-year-old lord, or if a spot becomes available when advancing to the Insect King, the Seed of Wisdom will select the best from the reserves to fill the 300 spots."

"Of course, when the beast tide breaks out, the Hunter Alliance of Zhibo Continent will also deploy its reserves to the front line to participate in the battle and deal with those insignificant undead beasts."

After Lord Mukui finished speaking, she paused slightly and continued, "In addition, they also have a 'King-level Hunting Team' composed of Insect Kings. It is said that more than fifty Insect Kings have officially joined, specializing in dealing with King-level Undead Beasts."

"Although the Hunter Alliance of Zhibo Continent has not been established for long and has few formal members, its strength and influence are definitely significant."

Lord Mukui said, "The biggest problem of the Hunter Alliance on Zhibai Continent is the lack of divine resources. It's not easy to even raise 3000 million in wages every year."

“Jin, you can promise to donate a certain amount of divinely bestowed resources every year to gain the support of the Hunter Alliance of Zhibo Continent. Then your transactions in the eastern part of Zhibo Continent will be much more efficient.”

"Ideally, you should also get a Hunter's Token and wear it on your person. That way, you'll be respected by the insects wherever you go, and it will be much easier to negotiate deals."

"Um……"

"That makes sense!"

Jin was greatly intrigued and asked, "Lord Mukui, how far is it from Binyu Port to Black Mountain?"

Lord Mukui asked, "More than two thousand kilometers, I suppose?"

Jin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then, you lead the way, and we'll go take a look?"

"Now?"

"Why don't you plan ahead a bit?"

"4-year-old or 7-year-old would be more appropriate."

Lord Mukui hesitated, saying, "I'm not good at fighting, so I can't guarantee your safety. Besides, your Flame Spider elders wouldn't feel at ease either, would they?"

"I belong to the lineage of the Wood Spider King, and I will greet the Wood Spider King."

"As for my safety, Lord Mukui need not worry at all. I have powerful self-preservation skills, and ordinary lords cannot do anything to me."

Jin thought for a moment and added, "Lord Mukui, I won't let you come for nothing. I'll give you a big bag each of type 302 and type 311 granular fertilizer." (End of Chapter)
