Dawn Spider

Chapter 87 Flashing (Part Two)

Waking up in the early morning, the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain was preparing to leave his nest to inspect his territory when he was blocked at the cave entrance by Jin, who came rushing towards him.

"Jin? Is something wrong?"

The Lord of Sikui Mountain asked.

"I have something to ask you..."

Jin paused for a moment and asked, "Lord Silk Sunflower Mountain, it seems that there aren't any nature-based divine plants that specifically enhance the silk of our Flame Spider Warriors?"

You ran up the mountain so early in the morning just to ask this?

After careful consideration, the Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain answered clearly: "There are no foods in nature that can strengthen the silk of Flame Spiders. However, there are multiple ways to indirectly strengthen the silk."

"The most obvious effects are from certain Force foods that comprehensively strengthen internal organs; the second most effective are Force foods that enhance the toughness of the shell and bristles; and finally, there is an overall improvement in physique, which will enhance the spider silk to a certain extent."

Jin said thoughtfully, "I understand..."

Very disappointing. This kind of indirect enhancement is unlikely to be very effective.

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Jin, why did you suddenly think of strengthening spider silk?"

Jin said, "Haven't I been practicing attacking with spider silk? I suddenly realized that when I evolve to a higher level in the future, spider silk will be easily destroyed when facing fire, lightning, wind blades, or even certain system abilities."

"Oh!"

Lord Sikui understood and said, "That's right. You've finally figured it out. The combat moves you're practicing now, the spider silk attacks, are nothing but trifles and easily defeated in the face of elemental abilities."

gold:"……"

The Mountain Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain continued, “Jin, don’t be discouraged. Your hard work has not been in vain; on the contrary, it has been very useful. First, it strengthens your physique, which is beneficial for your evolution at this stage. Second, it helps you absorb and utilize the strengthening effects of the Primal Force food. Third, it lays the physical foundation for breaking through to the Mountain Lord level and awakening even more powerful combat abilities in the future. Fourth, once you awaken your combat abilities, you can more perfectly unleash their power. Fifth…”

The Lord of Sikui Mountain rattled off a long list of the benefits of diligently practicing combat skills daily. When he reached the fifth point, he paused, composed himself, and said slowly:

"Jin, when you and Yin were both 9-year-old beginner warriors, you sparred, and Yin could only lie prone and take the beating, or run for his life while you chased and beat him. Why do you think that was? Was Yin younger than you and weaker than you?"

"Not entirely. The more important reason lies in the will to fight. Silver has no will to fight. But you, Gold, your will to fight has begun to take shape and you've entered a state of combat. Under the intimidation of that intimidation, Silver simply cannot muster the courage to fight you."

"This kind of power can also be exerted in battles between Mountain Lords, Lords, and Kings, and play a crucial role. Jin, this is the greatest reward for your relentless training since your awakening of the Force!"

"Understood……"

Jin agreed.

Jin understood everything that the Lord of Sikui Mountain said.

Jin's desired answer was to quickly and efficiently strengthen the spider silk to a level that could rival the primal energy equipment of the twelve-year-old Blood Iron Primordial.

Jin asked, "Lord Silk Sunflower Mountain, which kind of Force food that strengthens internal organs has the best effect on strengthening spider silk?"

"Not that kind..."

Lord Silk Sunflower said, "Jin, first you need to understand the principle. We Flame Spiders produce spider silk through 'silk glands' and 'silk-spinning organs.' These are unconventional organs, and there is no corresponding, specially enhanced Force food."

"Foods like 'Mi Meng Zi,' 'Ru Mu Zi,' 'Bai Ya Dou,' and 'Mu Dou,' which comprehensively strengthen internal organs, have a considerable effect on 'silk glands.' However, food that only strengthens the digestive system, heart, liver, lungs, or other organs has no effect. That's easy to understand, isn't it?"

"It's very simple! I understand!"

Jin said, "Then, next year when we trade, I'll exchange for more Force Foods that comprehensively enhance internal organs!"

"Forehead……"

The Lord of Sikui Mountain hesitated for two seconds before advising, "Just the right amount! Just the right amount is fine!"

"I see!"

Jin insisted, "Just a little more is fine. Otherwise, all my training in spider silk combat will be for nothing."

"..."

Lord Sikui said helplessly, "Alright. I will communicate with Lord Famu and have him inquire more and help you exchange for more divine-level primal force food."

"Thank you, Lord Sikui!"

Jin Kaixin expressed her gratitude.

Saying goodbye and descending the mountain,

I first took a stroll around Silver's territory. He was still asleep, so I woke him up and gave him a few words of advice. Then I went to the Golden Leaf Vine Tree, the gift of the gods, and began my morning exercise.

...

...

Time flies.

Mid-June is the hottest time of the year.

Silver evolved into a level 9 Flame Spider Warrior, which is now six months old.

Jin returned to Silk Sunflower Mountain from Thousand Fruit Mountain, and Yin couldn't wait to start preparing. After eating the last batch of divinely bestowed food and filling his stomach, he went to his bedroom in the cave on the north side of the mountain.

Jin and the master of Hongzhui Mountain helped move bundles of firewood to seal the cave passage.

Silver has entered a dormant state.

Together with the Lord of Red Cone Mountain, Jin stood guard in the hall, scraping the raw stone to release its primal force and replenish its primal energy.

Four full days later,
In the dead of night, faint rustling sounds came from the cave bedroom, followed by Yin's mental energy transmitting outwards:

"Fourth Brother~"

"Red Cone Mountain Lord~" "Help me~"

"Who is it? They've blocked the cave so tightly, I can't get out..."

"..."

The master of Red Cone Mountain reacted quickly, and with a whoosh, two spider silks shot out, flying and entwining, moving away the dry firewood blocking the cave entrance.

He scanned and inspected the silver at close range.

A breakthrough was successfully achieved.

He's full of energy and there's nothing wrong with him.

A false alarm.

It's just that too much firewood was used and packed too tightly, sealing the hole so it couldn't move it.

The master of Red Cone Mountain couldn't help but scold, "Yin, you should follow Jin and train more. Look at you, you can't even move a few bundles of firewood."

Jin followed up, "You're an intermediate-level warrior now, can't you use the Extremely Fine Spider Silk Cut?"

silver:"……"

Yin hurriedly replied, "Fourth Brother, don't worry. I will definitely work ten times, a hundred times harder at the intermediate warrior stage! I will also master the spider silk combat skills!"

Silver spat out the Sky Blue Valley Tree seed, which had been nurtured for nine years, and said happily, "It's a one-year-old intermediate warrior now. I can nurture the Oak Tree God-given Seed. Let's go find the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord."

"Go! Go! Go!"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain was equally anxious, calling out, "Go find the old spider, Silk Sunflower!"

...

Silver successfully broke through to become an intermediate warrior, and the Black Oak divine seed was placed into his life sac to begin gestation.

Jin is now a mid-level warrior in the second stage of evolution. After resting for two months, he began to use Force food at a steady pace for another two months to prepare for the next stage of evolution.

8 month 25 day,
After the preparations were complete, Silver helped guard the room while Gold entered the bedroom to begin its slumber and evolve.

...

Wake up from deep sleep.

Shedding the old shell, the new shell hardens rapidly.

The hunger wasn't very strong, the sleep duration was no more than three days, and I was still full of energy without feeling exhausted.

Jin composed himself and quickly scanned the newly awakened knowledge of the natural pantheon, which consisted entirely of knowledge related to plants and animals, so he skipped over it.

Calm your mind and sense carefully; after a long while, your eight eyes shine brightly.

"Have it!"

"I see!"

"Blink? A spatial displacement ability!"

Jin pondered for a moment, calmed his mind, and focused his mental energy on the outside of the cave, his thoughts racing.

The figure disappeared and reappeared.

"..."

Jin gathered his spiritual energy, retracted his thoughts, and examined the situation.

Didn't it move?
Moved...

It did move, but only a few centimeters...

"Wow, it really does flicker!"

"It basically just flashed in place."

"For a 3-year-old intermediate warrior, the evolution level is simply too low when it comes to spatial abilities that transcend the ten elements."

"Moreover, without any space-type elemental food, relying entirely on meditation, and even then, it's intermittent. My space-type enhancement is also insufficient, too little, negligible."

"So, I do have spatial abilities now, but I'm powerless to use them."

Jin Siwei's mind worked quickly; he grasped the situation and immediately had an idea:
"Use raw gems appropriately to accelerate meditation!"

"Let's see how it goes at age 4."

Jin quickly made up his mind, shifted his focus again, and checked his life sac. As predicted, this early-stage evolution had only slightly weakened the enhancement of the Golden Leaf Vine's divinely bestowed seed.

Following this trend, after three, four, or five more evolutionary cycles, the synergistic enhancement effect of the life capsule on the golden vine will approach zero.

"Does the Nature Pantheon have any divinely bestowed food that specifically strengthens the life sac?"

"So far, there are no relevant records in the inherited memories of awakening."

"Strictly speaking, the life capsule is a god-level ability bestowed upon the Zerg warriors by the true god of nature, and I'm afraid there isn't one."

Jin suddenly had a whimsical idea:
"Isn't the life sac still considered a kind of internal organ? Foods that comprehensively strengthen internal organs should have some effect, right?"

Jin subconsciously wanted to ask Master Sikui, but then thought that this was not a very clever question, so he gave up the idea.
