Dawn Spider

The Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent has gathered almost all the combat elites from the tribes, large and small, in the eastern part of the continent.

There is a great ruler, namely the King of the Wisdom Cypress.

Of the seven stewards, all except the Black Demon Insect King are peak seventh or eighth-instar Insect Kings. The other fifty-odd Insect Kings each hold the honorary title of 'Deputy Steward'.

Of the seven deputy commanders, four insect kings lead the hunt for undead beasts, while the other three insect kings, Black Demon, Snow Angel, and Empty Pine, are in charge of logistics.

...

King Jin gave a detailed account of his business operations and the purpose of his visit to Montenegro, and showed samples of creditor's bonds and loan contracts.

"That sounds great..."

King Zhibai asked, "Spider Gold, has your approach been successfully implemented on the Northern Twin Islands?"

Jin replied, "Of course. Cooperative processing and shop transactions cover both islands, and the total amount of divinely bestowed resources lent out exceeds 3 million. Currently, it has helped 38 warriors accelerate their promotion to lord and helped two Zerg warriors accelerate their promotion to Zerg king."

Jin didn't hesitate to multiply the data by two.

King Zhibai said, "The Twin Islands in the North are very wealthy."

Jin said, "Because we can handle the impact of the fog sea and fog tides very well, our living environment and development conditions are better than those of the Southern Continent. On average, there is one divine seed for every eight warriors. So, in terms of per capita income, we are indeed richer than the Zhibai Continent."

"Of course, the Northern Twin Islands are too small, and in terms of the number of insects, they cannot compare with the Zhibai Continent at all."

"Yes. The continent of Zhibai has a much broader space for development."

King Zhibai said, "Inside the conference hall at the foot of the mountain, there is a fairly detailed map of the continent, which marks the locations of important insectoid tribes and settlements throughout the continent. You will definitely be interested, so you can go down and take a look."

"Ok."

"Thank you!"

Jin sensed three powerful auras rapidly approaching and guessed that the three steward insect kings had arrived. He flashed and teleported down the mountain.

A huge cave opened up on the southern slope of the mountain range.

The black stone wall, reinforced by special earth-based abilities, has a crystalline jade-like texture.

It is hemispherical with a radius of over thirty meters.

In the center of the hall, there is a raised black hemisphere, more than ten meters in diameter. The side facing the cave entrance is painted with a detailed and complete map of the Zhibo Continent in seven colors: white, green, cyan, blue, purple, yellow, and red.

Above the blue ocean, two islands, one large and one small, float on the water. These are Borneo and Ivory Island, accompanied by detailed text and images.

Next to the twin islands of Borneo is an abstract image of an eight-legged spider, along with a string of characters that are not easily understood. The general meaning is that the islands are ruled by the Kingdom of the Flame Spiders...

Jin glanced at it briefly, his eyes scanning the area, and quickly found Black Lake and Black Mountain on its shore.

Looking at the map, it is indeed located in the central part of the eastern part of the Zhibai Continent, slightly to the west.

The map also features bright, striking scarlet patterns and symbols that mark the location of the Undead Lands and the hideouts of the Undead Beasts.

Black Mountain is a bit too close to the Land of the Undead, so it will probably be attacked by undead beasts frequently.

The Black tribe migrated and settled in this place...

An act of desperation.

When a tribe establishes itself and develops, the first thing to consider is environmental factors such as soil, water, and climate. The jungles on the southern side of the Black Mountain range are probably one of the few places with a warm and humid climate suitable for the common black people to live and reproduce.

"gold!"

Lord Mukui shouted from afar, his spiritual power reverberating.

There is also a hint or suggestion in the mental power and intention.

Jin snapped out of his daze and darted to the cave entrance to greet them.

"The three Insect Kings, this is Jin, the round purple Flame Spider warrior from the Flame Spider Kingdom."

Lord Mukui jogged over and stood in front of Jin, introducing him from the center.

"This is the Black Tribe, the Black Demon Insect King."

"I have met the Black Demon Insect King!"

"This is the Snow Eucalyptus King of the Scorpionfly Tribe."

"I've met the Snow Eucalyptus King!"

"This is the Queen of the Red-tipped Flamewing Butterfly Clan."

"I have met the King of the Hollow Tree Insects!"

"..."

We greeted each other upon meeting and then went into the conference hall to talk.

The Snow Ephemeral Insect King cut to the chase, asking, "Flame Spider Gold, are you planning to open a trading post in Black Mountain? And are you also planning to move a piece of equipment used by an alien civilization to process divinely bestowed food? Do you need us to provide security protection?"

Kim replied, "Yes."

The Sky Tree Insect King said, "We ask for protection money from you, is that alright? After all, our warriors have spent time, energy, and even their lives to fight the Undead Beasts."

"Of course, no problem. It's only right."

Kim agreed, feigning politeness, and said:

"We are all descendants of the true gods of nature, sharing both glory and disgrace. We, the Twin Islands of the North, are equally concerned about the situation on the Zhibo Continent." "To be realistic, the Twin Islands of the North are small in area and have a small insect population. To pursue a higher level of evolution and greater strength, we cannot do without the trade of primal force food with the Zhibo Continent."

The three insect kings, Black Demon, Snow Angel, and Empty Tree, were very satisfied with Jin's words.

Most Zerg warriors in the nature pantheon only interact with the land; those who speak like that are Zerg spirits.

Jin got straight to the point, saying, "My cooperation proposal is to set up the headquarters of Shanglu Mall in Black Mountain, with the Hunter Alliance of Zhibai Continent providing security for our transactions. I can contribute 20% of all net business revenue as a protection fee to support the operation and development of the Hunter Alliance."

The three insect kings immediately began to calculate silently.

If we start a food processing partnership, earning two to three million a year shouldn't be a problem. However, with a 20% commission, that's only around four to five hundred thousand.

As for the paid loan business...

The little spider may not yet fully understand the dangers of the Zhibai Continent. Settlements located slightly to the west and with weaker forces are at risk of being completely wiped out by hordes of beasts at any time. It would be strange if they didn't suffer heavy losses.

The Snow Eucalyptus King's main duty is to lobby various tribes and raise funds for the Hunter Alliance.

The Snow Eucalyptus King tentatively asked, "50% profit?"

"..."

Jin raised his claw and pointed to the map, saying leisurely, "Actually, Black Mountain is not the best choice. I can go east and find a large tribe to cooperate with."

Jin understood their thoughts and said, "I can also give you a second option: I will allocate 100 million divine resources every year to support the development of the Hunter Alliance. How about that?"

The three-headed insect kings looked at each other and simultaneously twitched their antennae.

The King of the Sky-Piercing Insects declared boldly, "Spider Gold, from now on, you will be protected by the Hunter Alliance when you travel, trade, or lend money on this Zhibai Continent! No matter which tribe or insect dares to make things difficult for you, they are making things difficult for our Hunter Alliance. Just tell me, and I will personally go and settle things!"

The Snow Eucalyptus King said, "The same goes for the Undead Beasts. Which Undead Beast dares to attack you? The Hunter Alliance will gather its forces and eliminate it first."

"..."

Jin replied, "Thank you in advance!"

"Foolish!"

Seeing that the agreement had been reached, the mental power of the Zhibai Tree King suddenly jumped up and angrily rebuked, "Kongtong, Xuean, no wonder you two stupid insects have been unable to raise funds. You are hopeless!"

Kongtong and Xuean Insect King looked blank, not understanding what was going on.

The Snow Eucalyptus King asked, "King of the Wise Cypress Tree, what's wrong?"

"madness!"

King Zhibai rebuked again, saying bluntly, "Jin, we provide security, credibility, and extensive insect network connections for your transactions, which no other tribe can do."

"As you said, we should split the profits according to the net profit ratio, but 20% is too little, 30% would be more appropriate."

King Zhibai has hit the nail on the head: what Jin needs is the Hunter Alliance's reputation and the Insect Vein on the Zhibai Continent.

Jin readily agreed, "That works too. However, Black Demon Insect King, I have one more small request. I need some undead creatures so I can hunt them for fun in my spare time."

"Just playing around?" The Black Demon Insect King choked back a sob and asked, "How much do you need?"

Jin randomly gave a number: "1000?"

The Black Demon Insect King shook its antennae and explained, "I can only produce a little over 30,000 each year. The Hunter Alliance gives each Insect King-level warrior 150 and each Lord-level warrior 50; during the winter hunt, each Lord-level warrior who comes to participate receives 1, and the Insect King receives 3. In the end, I have very few left."

A hunting operation? Only 3 Insect Kings?

Jin tentatively asked, "500?"

The Black Demon Insect King waved its antennae somewhat helplessly and explained in detail: "One Undead Seed, one Undead Beast. The number of Undead Seeds is limited, and they are usually used on the corpses of King-level Undead Beasts, or at the very least Lord-level ones."

The Black Demon Insect King asked, "Mountain Lord Jin, do you hunt undead beasts alone, or with other warriors? Aren't you making a deal? How many lord or king-level undead beasts can you kill in a year?"

"One spider is enough; I don't need any other insects to help me."

Kim confidently said, "Our strength is a bit weak now, but it should be much easier in the future."

The Black Demon Insect King hesitated for a moment, then said, "We certainly have no objection to your willingness to help hunt down the undead beasts. However, we can do this: during your Mountain Lord level, I'll give you 100 of them every year to play with. When you evolve to the Lord level, I'll see how things go and give you more."

"Row!"

Jin pondered for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

The Black Demon Insect King asked, "Jin, how exactly does your loan business work? It's not like you can just lend money to any insect, is it?"

Jin said, "Of course there are conditions. First, it must be a divinely bestowed seed; second, it must be in excellent evolutionary condition; and third, it cannot have a bad record."

"As for Zhibai Continent, we need to add another condition: the territory must be located on the relatively safe eastern side of the continent. If any client dies unexpectedly, the loss will be at least several million, and at worst tens of millions. I can't afford to suffer such losses a few times."

"..."

The Black Demon Insect King asked, "Do you think the warriors of our Hunter Alliance are safe?"

What do you say?
Constantly fighting undead beasts, you could die at any moment, right?

loan?

Let's buy some insurance first.

No one dares to do insurance business.

Jin understood the Black Demon Insect King's thoughts and, on a sudden inspiration, said, "The warriors of the Hunter's Alliance are certainly not safe. However, the loan business isn't out of the question. If lord-level warriors of age 7 and above could withdraw from the front lines, retreat to the rear, diligently hone their abilities, focus on growth and evolution, and prepare to break through to Insect King status, then this loan business could be done."
