Dawn Spider

Chapter 90: 4-Year-Old Intermediate Flame Spider Warrior (Tenth Update)

12 month 25 day.

After a four-month interval, Jin finished his last serving of Force food for the year and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Wake up from deep sleep.

Complete the molting process quickly.

While his body swelled and his carapace hardened, he quickly searched through the newly awakened knowledge of the natural pantheon. It was the same old stuff—all about plants and animals.

Skip to the point. Skip to the point.

The body has taken shape, and the carapace has hardened.

4-year-old intermediate warrior!

Jin's spiritual energy expanded with all its might, extending in a straight line.

The evolution from the 3rd to the 4th age is considered a small breakthrough, with a considerable increase in mental strength and a leap in the maximum detection range to about 80 meters.

He gathered his mental energy and scanned himself.

Eight legs spread out, simple measurement.

Its size has also increased considerably, with its leg span reaching over 80 centimeters.

"Perfect!"

Jin was very satisfied with his growth from this molting and evolution. He focused his mind and directed his thoughts toward his life sac.

As expected, the improvement gained from the Golden Leaf Vine's divinely bestowed seed was even more negligible.

As expected, there's no need to dwell on it.

Jin focused his mind and tried to activate his 'Blink' ability.

Its figure flashed and moved forward a short distance.

Golden Spiritual Energy Scan Assessment.

An unexpected surprise
This breakthrough also resulted in a significant improvement for the Space-type ability, with the teleportation distance increasing dramatically from 30 centimeters before evolution to around 60 centimeters.

"At this rate, with another evolutionary stage, the blinking ability can be applied to actual combat."

"Or, why not spend another 3000 Primogems to appropriately improve meditation efficiency?"

Jin Xin was burning with desire, but after careful consideration, she suppressed her impulse.

There aren't many raw stones left, so we need to be careful with our spending until we find a way to make money.

"still have a question……"

“Ordinary Zerg warriors cannot detect spatial power, but a few exceptionally talented warriors who are particularly sensitive to Force energy can. Lord Sikui Mountain and Lord West Serpent both detected it, but they did not recognize this unfamiliar Force energy.”

"So, should we tell Lord Sikui about mastering the 'Blink' ability?"

"I've had enough strange things happen to me already. Shouldn't I keep a low profile and develop for a while?"

"You only told Lord Sikui after the advanced warriors arrived? That's too long. In such a long time, it might have discovered it with a single scan of its spiritual power, and then it would have been harder to explain."

“Silk Sunflower, Red Cone, Famu, and other elders all watched me awaken my Force and grow to where I am today. This is strange, but not enough to lead to suspicion. In the end, they'll probably attribute it to ‘the mutation from eating pokeweed fruit when I was a child’…”

Kim was thinking,

Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The sound of taro leaves swaying could be heard from outside.

Immediately afterward, Yin's mental energy swept over.

"Fourth Brother? You're awake?"

"Um--"

Gold was pushed from the inside and silver was moved from the outside, quickly clearing away the dry firewood blocking the tunnel.

"Fourth Brother, eat!"

"How many days have I been asleep?"

"Three days."

"Why is taro served?"

"It climbed up by itself."

"What about the Black Oak, the divinely bestowed seed?"

"The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain is guarding it. It's nighttime now, and it's distributing food to the ordinary little flame spiders."

Yin said proactively, "Fourth Brother, the Black Oak Divine Seed is over 1 meter tall! I had Taro restrain its power and used its growth ability. The soul bond is in good condition."

"That's a lifeline! Don't mess with it!"

Jin's heart tightened, he glared at Yin, looked at Taro, and said, "Within three months, you are not allowed to use growth assistance on the Black Oak God-given Seed."

"Wow~Wow~"

The taro nodded, and the top leaves responded.

Yin stammered, "Fourth Brother, I checked carefully, there's nothing wrong..."

"It's unacceptable whether there's a reason or not; this is a pointless adventure!"

Jin scolded him, then relaxed, saying earnestly, "Yin, you're only a mid-level warrior at the second stage, far from being a high-level warrior. The Black Oak Divine Seed has plenty of time to grow and develop; there's no rush, and it doesn't even need Taro's assistance." Yin muttered, "I'll just try it..."

Taro strongly disagreed with Jin's words, shaking its leaves vigorously and making a protesting rustling sound: I can precisely control my strength.
"Alright, Taro, stop shaking."

Jin quickly finished eating and called out, "Let's go down the mountain! I'll plant the divinely bestowed seeds of the Golden Leaf Vine."

...

After breaking through the intermediate level, the golden vine, which had undergone a qualitative change and shrunk, grew at an extremely slow rate. It took a year, with the help of taro, for the main vine to grow to about 3 meters, and no lateral vines were generated.

"Jin, your life sac is failing!"

Upon completing its rebirth, the Golden Leaf Vine immediately checked the changes in its original energy and found that there were almost no changes. Dissatisfied, it was also somewhat worried.

"Jin, is it that your life sac is failing? Or has my life level been strengthened to some kind of limit?"

"Both are present; it is the result of the combined effect of two factors."

Jin said, "There is a third reason. The life sac nurtures the divinely bestowed seed, and the most important point is to establish a life contract and a soul bond. After breaking through to the intermediate stage of evolution, this bond between you and me will reach its peak."

Jin Ye Teng said thoughtfully, "Yes..."

Jin Yeteng understood this all too well. Now, even when separated by two or three kilometers, he could clearly sense Jin's presence and pinpoint her location. This distance far exceeded the range of his mental power.

Jin said, "The flower buds of the Sea Lemon Tree are about to emerge, and the caravans that went to trade in the Southern Continent should be returning soon. I will communicate with Lord Famu and try to obtain some divinely bestowed primal force foods that comprehensively strengthen internal organs, but I am not sure if they will be effective on the Life Sac. I'm afraid the outcome will not be too optimistic."

"Golden Leaf Vine, you are too small now. Focus on growing bigger and stronger. Perhaps things will change when you grow a bit larger."

Golden Leaf Vine asked, "Then next time you evolve, I'll temporarily not revert to my seed form and will not accept the Life Sac enhancement?"

"Uh……"

"no……"

Jin pondered for a moment and said, "We can compromise. During the long period when I use Force food to prepare for evolution, Golden Leaf Vine, you can continue to grow without needing to be strengthened by the Life Sac. Then, before I go into a dormant state to evolve, you can change your seed form and evolve along with me. This way, we won't delay your growth, and we won't miss the age-appropriate metamorphosis when the Life Sac provides the greatest boost to the Life Seed."

Golden Leaf Vine exclaimed, "Great idea!"

Jin turned to Taro and said, "5. Growth ability."

"Whoa! Whoa!"

The taro shakes its leaves, displaying its power.

Jin called on Yin for help, and together they scraped away the raw stone to quickly replenish the Golden Leaf Vine's energy.

It was finished quickly.

Jin, along with Yin and Taro, arrived at the mound where the divinely bestowed seed of pokeweed had taken root.

The growth of the pokeweed seed is even less than ideal; this year, it has only grown from 4 meters to about 4.8 meters.

At the foot of the mound, of the 85,000 raw stones that were piled up at the beginning of the year, only a mere 20,000 remained.

The destination of the raw stones is simple and clear: 4.5 were used for the God-given Seed of Pokeweed; nearly 1 were used for the Golden Meditation Acceleration; and about 1 were used for the Golden Leaf Vine.

Taro is self-reliant. Gold has no other place to spend raw stones.

Over the course of a year, a total of 6.5 raw stones were spent.

The Divine Gift Seed of Pokeweed is an absolute goldmine, and it hasn't reached its limit yet. If Taro's strength increases, the amount and quality of its daily growth potential will also increase, allowing the Divine Gift Seed of Pokeweed to consume even more goldmines—5 or 6 would be no problem.

The Golden Vine is also quite good; it spends half its time strengthening itself within the Golden Life Pouch. As agreed, if the strengthening mode is changed later, its raw stone consumption will double, reaching 2 per year.

...

The taro swayed its leaves, and the pokeweed seed, bestowed by the gods, began to grow for 20 consecutive times.

Gold and silver work together to scrape away at the raw stone, releasing their primal force.

"Fourth Brother, we only have 6 raw crystals left, which is 60,000 raw stones? We can only last for one year?"

"Yes."

"Then, what do we do when we run out of the original crystals? The current state of the Divine Seed of Pokeweed is such that it is growing, but not ideal. It's in a limbo, which is the most difficult to deal with."

"What's so difficult about it? I've said it before: once we've used up the raw stones, we'll leave it alone for now. We won't die anyway; we'll deal with it when we have more raw stones."

"But...that..."

Yin thought, if we leave it alone, wouldn't our 14 raw stones be wasted?
After weighing the options in his mind, he still didn't dare to say it and sped up the scraping of the raw stone.

By the time they finished processing the pokeweed seeds bestowed by the gods, it was already late at night.

Taro takes root in the soil, utilizes the original stone, and accelerates the restoration of its original energy.

Gold and Silver wandered to the mound where the Black Oak God-given Seed had taken root.

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain was busy distributing food to the ordinary flame spiders that were queuing up.

Jin went straight up to him and reported, "Lord Sikui, I've reached the intermediate level of a 4-year-old warrior."

"it is good."

The Lord of Sikui Mountain gave a brief response.

Jin said, "I think I've also mastered a strange ability."

P.S.: That concludes today's ten-chapter update. Happy May Day everyone! I'll update another ten chapters tomorrow, skipping the early development phase as quickly as possible.
