Dawn Spider

Chapter 8 Exchange

Chapter 8 Exchange
Just as Jin expected, after last night's extremely high-intensity confrontation, the Lord of Sikui Mountain suffered excessive damage and was now sleeping to recover.

Jin and Shisan waited quietly at the entrance of the bedroom.

It was not until mid-afternoon that the Lord of Sikui Mountain slowly woke up.

"Master Sikui!"

"Respected Master Sikui, you are finally awake."

Jin and Shisan tapped the ground with their front paws to send a message.

After confirming that the other party was paying attention to this side, Jin ran forward holding a light blue mist bead in his claws.

"..."

The Lord of Sikui Mountain was puzzled.

Jin placed the object right in front of the other party, rubbed his claws, and said, "Master Sikui Mountain, Wuzhu, we found it at the foot of the mountain."

Thirteen followed up, "We want to exchange with you."

The Sikui Mountain Master understood a little, but not quite. He manipulated a spider silk thread to twist the mist bead away and said casually, "You live in the mountains, there is enough food, no need to exchange."

"No. No. We understand. Please don't misunderstand."

Jin hurriedly explained, "We want to exchange this mist bead with you for five rough stones."

Thirteen explained, "My fourth brother and I are both spiders destined to awaken and become Force warriors. We've been stockpiling resources for evolution in advance."

"Heh~heh~"

Lord Sikui was amused, but after looking at Jin carefully, he put away his contempt.

After shedding its shell and growing once, this guy has a faint fluctuation of the Force, and there is a high probability that he will awaken.

"No. No."

The Sikui Mountain Master waved his claws to drive them away, saying, "I'll keep the mist beads for you. When you awaken in the future, I'll help you exchange them for Force food."

subconsciously,

The Lord of Sikui Mountain swept his mental power and his expression became slightly serious.

Wow! Inside the living room, inside the nest where these two little guys live, there are five mist beads hidden!
The Lord of Sikui Mountain thought again and felt that it was very strange!

What is the significance of exchanging mist beads for raw stones?

Why not take out all the mist beads and exchange them?
"..."

The Lord of Sikui Mountain remained silent.

Jin continued to explain, "I heard that the raw stones contain pure Force. Let's try exchanging a few to see if we can increase the probability of awakening."

The Sikui Mountain Master said ruthlessly: "No."

Jin said unwillingly: "Let's try it."

Thirteen: "We have to give it a try."

Jin: "The value of the mist beads is far more than 5 raw stones."

Thirteen: "This deal, Master Sikui Mountain, you made a lot of money!"

"Heh~heh~"

The Lord of Sikui Mountain was amused again. He didn't want to bother with the two little spiders whose hair had not even grown fully. He turned around and went into the storage room and took out 5 raw stones.

"Let's play with it."

"You should have heard that flying insects and animals parasitized by fog spirits have a certain chance of mutating into evil spirits. There may be danger at the foot of the mountain in the near future. You two should not go down the mountain regardless of anything."

The Lord of Sikui Mountain gave serious instructions and was about to leave.

"Oh!"

"Know it!"

Jin and Shisan agreed.

"Master Sikui, please wait a moment."

Jin hurriedly called out, pointing to the raw stone on the ground, and said, "Master Sikui, could you please help me weave a small spider silk bag for easy storage?"

"..."

The exchange of 5 raw stones is quite a lot! The Lord of Sikui Mountain said nothing more, pulled out two spider silks, and waved his two forelegs and chelicerae into a shadow.

Soon, a white spider silk bag about seven or eight centimeters wide and twelve centimeters long was woven out.

"Take it and play with it. Don't run around."

The master of Sikui Mountain threw the spider silk bag at Jin, gave him some instructions, and hurried out of the cave.

Jin and Shisan hurriedly ran out.

I watched as Lord Sikui descended the mountain, ran across the scorched earth below, and disappeared into the jungle to the east...

"Fourth brother is really amazing, it really worked!"

"Small idea."

"Where is Master Sikui going?"

"To the east is the sea. I guess we'll have fish tonight."

"vomit……"

"It's getting late, let's pack up and go down the mountain quickly."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! It's going to rain."

…The raw stone is similar to a mist bead, small in size but extremely heavy.

There are 5 raw stones, use 2 first.

One was put into a spider silk bag and Jin carried it on his back.

One was wrapped in spider silk and carried by Thirteen.

The two brothers ran down the mountain quickly, crossed the scorched earth, and came to the big banyan tree with its crown burned again.

Thirteen used his chelicerae to hold the raw stone and crawled up the tree, approaching the tin-leaf vine flowers, and used his front legs and chelicerae to hold the raw stone in place.

Jin followed beside, scratching with the tips of his front toes.

Specks of raw stone powder were scattered, and one could feel the Force being released and then absorbed by the white flowers next to it.

The process of flowers nurturing God-given seeds requires the absorption of a sufficient amount of Force, so the flowering period will be relatively long.

Using raw stones to replenish the flowers' original force can naturally accelerate the gestation of God-given seeds and shorten the flowering period.

The texture of the raw stone is a bit hard...

Jin and Shisan took turns scratching until late at night, and they finally finished scratching the two raw stones.

This flower has been blooming for some time. With the replenishment of the Force from the two raw stones, it completed its final sprint. The petals fell off, revealing a green fruit the size of a mung bean.

The fruit growth cycle of common tin-leaf vine is 3 to 4 months.

By the same principle, the Force Fruit also needs to absorb sufficient amount of Force to successfully develop into a God-given seed, so the fruiting period will be extended to 4 to 5 months.

Similarly, if you use raw stones to replenish its power, you can shorten the fruiting period.

There are 3 raw stones left, so there is no rush to use them.

Jin directed Thirteen to stick the spider silk bag with spider silk and carefully hang it up from the bottom. After some effort, he put the spider silk bag on the fruit cluster, and finally tied it up with spider silk.

Covered with spider silk bags woven by mountain master-level flame spider warriors, it can prevent birds, beasts and insects from harming the fruits.

"Fourth brother, is it okay?"

"Okay."

"Is it safe?"

“Basically safe.”

"There are still three rough stones left..."

"Don't worry. You and I will shed our shells and grow again. Once the danger caused by the fog tide in the jungle is resolved, we can come back and use the raw stones."

"Oh! Fourth brother is so calculating!"

Jin called out, "Let's go! Let's go back to the mountain and see what's going on tonight."

...

On the way back, heavy rain suddenly hit.

Shannan,

The lush branches and leaves of the silk palm seeds given by the gods provide shelter for spiders from wind and rain.

Under the tree, the Lord of Sikui Mountain distributed food as usual, and the spiders lined up in an orderly manner and came forward one by one.

Jin and Shisan keenly felt that the atmosphere tonight was not right. They moved closer to check and only then did they see the clue.

As expected, today's food was still fish, and there were two large piles left.

A pile of meat was cut into dices a little over one centimeter in size, one for each flame spider.

A pile of fish was cut into large pieces of seven or eight centimeters and wrapped in spider silk. The flame spiders in line could hand in their mist beads in exchange for a large piece of fish meat.

"Fourth brother... could it be..."

Thirteen guessed the situation at first glance.

Jin said, "The ocean is rich in life, so there are probably fish spirits out there all the time, but they're just hard to catch. The Sikui Mountain Master woke up in the afternoon and ran straight east. He must have spent some time catching a fish spirit."

"Fourth brother, let's..." Thirteen was eager to try.

"go!"

Jin and Shisan walked quickly towards the tree.

Before they even got close, the spiders in the queue issued a chaotic and fierce warning sound:
"what?"

"Go away!"

"Get in line!"

"Purple-haired spider? You're looking for a fight, huh?"

"..."

Jin Heshisan looked at the Lord of Sikui Mountain.

It must have noticed the two of them, but pretended not to see and remained indifferent.

Thirteen:"……"
