Dawn Spider

Chapter 93 Su Mufeng

First stop upon entering the Haimeng Mountains: Qimu Peak

Last year, the Winged Core Lord also went to the Southern Continent to trade.

Greeting the spiders was the Lord of Eggplant Tree Mountain, with a 3-year-old novice flame spider named 'Green Tree' perched on his head.

After a brief chat in a spacious cave halfway up the southern side of the mountain, Master Fashu got straight to the point and asked:
"Eggplant Tree, at the Cyathea Mountain Ruins, did the Winged Core Lord select several treasure chests filled with divinely bestowed Force food?"

Master Qieshu said regretfully, "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to solve it, so I only chose one."

Master Fashu asked, "Did you successfully open it?"

"certainly……"

Lord Eggplant Tree joked, "I'm regretting it for Lord Wingcore. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have chosen God-given Force Food from all six treasure chests. I would be rich now."

"We also feel sorry for Lord Famu. We spiders just can't be too cautious in our actions."

Lord Fashu echoed, then asked, "Back then, that little guy Jin chose a device in the ruins for processing Force food, Lord Fashu, you know that, right?"

"Of course!"

The Lord of Qieshu Mountain said, "I was there at the time, watching you move the relics out of the ruins, load them onto the ship, and transport them back to the islands of Saluo."

The Lord of Eggplant Tree Mountain understood the purpose of Fashu and Jin's visit and said, "When we run out of the Force food, we'll definitely save the empty boxes for you. Besides, no other spiders need this stuff."

"Okay, thanks in advance."

The Lord of Palm Bamboo Mountain expressed his sincere gratitude and sighed, "This little guy Jin's life sac has mutated, and he can only nurture one life seed. Now he can only hope to purchase and process the divinely bestowed primal force food and squeeze some profit from the peel and pulp to support himself."

"I see!"

The owner of Qieshu Mountain responded solemnly, casting a sympathetic glance at him.

gold:"……"

The Lord of Palm Bamboo Mountain then asked, "Lord of Eggplant Tree Mountain, are your two Divine Seeds of Eggplant Wood-type? There aren't many warriors in our Flame Spider Kingdom who have awakened Wood-type talents..."

"The seed of the Indo-Pacific humpback?"

The owner of the Eggplant Tree Mountain said strangely, "The eggplant tree is a pod, without pulp! The pod contains only a very small amount of primordial energy."

Jin spoke up at the right moment, saying, "Not a bit less. Even if it only accounts for 1%, that's still about two thousand raw stones."

Qimu Peak has two Divine Eggplant Seeds, one belonging to the Wing Core Lord (a lord-level entity) and the other to the Eggplant Tree Mountain Lord (a mountain lord-level entity). These two Divine Eggplant Seeds can produce Divine Eggplant Fruit worth approximately 20 raw stones annually.

Jin Jianqie Tree Mountain Master looked somewhat speechless as he explained, "We've tried it. That alien civilization's equipment can extract all the trace amounts of primordial energy contained in the pods and shells."

Jin said, “Lord of Eggplant Tree Mountain, it can be done like this: you give me the fruit, and I will take it back to Silk Sunflower Mountain, peel off the pods, and process only the pods. I will help dry the divinely imprinted eggplants inside and return them to you in full, not a single one missing. We will split the divinely imprinted food extracted from the processed pods 50/50.”

A divinely bestowed food containing 1000 Primogems?
Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat...

The distance is so short, it doesn't take much effort to make a trip.

After considering it for a moment, the owner of Eggplant Tree Mountain agreed, "No problem!"

Jin immediately replied, "Alright. I'll be there on time when the fruit is ripe!"

...

This trip not only confirmed the acquisition of the Force Food Storage Box, but also secured the deal for two Wood-type Divinely Gifted Seeds containing Divinely Gifted Force Food.

The spiders chatted for a while longer before the Lord of the Law Tree Mountain took his leave.

Immediately following up on the next stop: Shadewood Peak

Since there were no suitable God-given seeds for trade on Qingmu Peak, we simply agreed to purchase the Force Food Storage Box and then took our leave to head to our next stop, Gemu Peak.

There were no suitable divine seeds for trading at Gemu Peak. After resting for the night, they bid farewell the next morning and continued on to their next stop, Sumu Peak.

Sumu Peak is home to 37 Flame Spider Warriors of varying ranks, including 5 Lord-level warriors, making it a renowned and prosperous mountain in the Haimeng Mountains.

"Summu Peak is one of the most successful mountains in our Flame Spider Kingdom, and there are many things we can learn from it!"

"Gold, Silver, take a close look at the territory below."

The master of Zongzhu Mountain, carrying gold and silver, stood on a small hill not far from Sumu Peak, observing the scene.

On the north and south sides of the mountain, irrigation canals built by the soil system divide the forest into neat, square plots, each 500 meters on each side.

The northern part of the mountain is planted with various common plants, mainly sea jasmine and camphor trees, as well as plants unique to tropical islands, forming a vast forest that stretches as far as the eye can see.

In the Shannan plot, more than a thousand life-giving plants are planted together, of various shapes and species. Some are in bloom, some have already borne fruit, and some fruits are about to ripen.

Jin and Yin looked around twice, their gazes involuntarily drifting towards the summit.

At the summit of the mountain stands a divinely bestowed camphor tree, probably over 300 meters tall, its lush foliage elevating the mountain considerably, towering into the clouds.

Further down, on the southeast and southwest sides of the mountain, at the mountainside, two equally tall and majestic trees are planted: Sea Lemon God-given Seeds.
The seeds given by God bloom earlier and bear fruit for a longer period.

At this time, the two sea lemon trees, blessed by God, were in full bloom, with scattered white spots on their lush branches and leaves.

At the same time, it is the season for fruit to ripen and be harvested. Among the deep green branches and leaves, bright red fruits that resemble mangoes are dotted.

The fruiting period of a lord-level divinely bestowed sea lemon tree lasts for two years.
The tree also still bears last year's fruit, which is now a tender, emerald-green color.

"Fourth Brother, look over there, there's another one... a Divinely Gifted Seed of the Yinxiang Wood?"

Silver, with its sharp eyes, raised its paw and pointed to the northern foot of the mountain.

In the northwest corner, there is a tree over 100 meters tall, and flame spider warriors are busy at work under the tree.

"Yinxiang, Yinxiang..."

The master of Red Cone Mountain directly unleashed a powerful spiritual shout.

The distance is too far; my mental energy can't reach it.

Stop looking! Let's go!

The Red Cone Mountain Master called out, and I swooped down the mountain, running wildly along the ridge path.

The master of Palm Bamboo Mountain set off at a slow jog, carrying gold and silver.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain,
The Lord of Red Cone Mountain turned around and followed the Lord of Yinxiang Mountain to meet them.

They were clearly very familiar with each other, and greeted each other warmly upon meeting.
The master of Zongzhu Mountain asked, "Yinxiang, what are you busy with?"

The master of Yinxiang Mountain replied, "My daily work involves fertilizing the seeds bestowed by the gods on the mountain to replenish their primal energy."

The Lord of Palm Bamboo asked, "Is Lord Flame Camphor on the mountain?"

"Just got back to the mountain."

The Lord of Yinxiang Mountain said, "Upon receiving news that the password to the treasure chest containing the food containing primal force had been cracked, it rushed back immediately..." As it was speaking, a faint spiritual force drifted over.

"The palm bamboo of Zitan Peak? And those two little flame spiders of Sikui Mountain? Come up the mountain and talk to me."

The master of Yinxiang Mountain led the way up the mountain, and the spiders followed the winding mountain path, turning left and right, until they arrived at the cave opened on the north side of the mountain peak.

The hemispherical cave hall, nearly forty meters in diameter, features a painted map of the continent on the dome, and rainforest paintings carved on the surrounding stone walls, along with eight sets of training and eight sets of combat movements passed down through generations of the Flame Spider tribe.

In the center of the hall, there is a long oval stone table made of reddish rock, with two large spiders perched at either end of the table.

On the table was a gene agent storage box with a dark blue background and embossed patterns in crimson and turquoise.

"Greetings, Lord Flame Camphor!"

"Greetings, Lord Yunzhang!"

"..."

The leader of the Palm Bamboo Mountain was led by the spiders, who greeted him respectfully.

Lord Flame Camphor is the chief of Su Mufeng, a veteran lord of the Flame Spider Kingdom, and one of the strongest lords. His prestige and status are even higher than Lord West Serpent. He is stationed on Red Firefly Island year-round, guarding the kingdom's lifeline: the Ore Mine.
Lord Yunzhang is Su Mufeng's second-in-command. His evolution level and strength are also quite high. He is a regular member of the trading team that goes to the Southern Continent. This year, he is on leave.

Lord Yunzhang and Lord Famu are colleagues. Although Sumu Peak and Zitan Peak are not from the same lineage, they visit each other frequently and have a close relationship.

"Zongzhu, you've come for the treasure chest in the ruins, haven't you?"

Lord Yunzhang asked a question.

"Yes."

The master of Zongzhu Mountain answered.

Lord Yunzhang said, "You've come at just the right time. I just finished a box. You can take it."

"Thank you, Lord Yunzhang!"

"Thank you, Lord Flame Camphor!"

Jin and Yin expressed their gratitude happily.

The Lord of Palm Bamboo Mountain said, "I will make up for it for you after the original Stone and Wood Lord returns from the transaction."

Lord Flame Camphor waved his paw and said, "No need for the raw stones, just an empty box. Consider it a gift from us to the little warrior. Last time at the ruins, Su Mufeng obtained a total of 19 treasure chests. We'll keep 10 for ourselves and give you the other 9. Here's one for now, and you can come back to collect the other 8 later."

"Thank you, Lord Flame Camphor!"

Thank you again for the gold and silver.

Lord Yunzhang said solemnly, "Zongzhu, you've come at the right time. We at Sumu Peak have discussed it, and we've decided that this batch of resources will mainly be used by Lord Yanzhang and me to try and break through to the Spider King realm. It might take two to three years. Zongzhu, could you ask Lord Famu if he's in a hurry to break through? If not, could you help me with the trade trip to the Southern Continent?"

"remember……"

The Lord of Palm Bamboo Mountain couldn't refuse, nor dared he agree on behalf of Lord Famu, so he congratulated him, saying, "This time, at least two Spider Kings have appeared on Sumu Peak!"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain added, "Lords Flame Camphor and Cloud Camphor will definitely advance smoothly!"

Jin and Yin quickly echoed this sentiment.

Jin: "The Flame Camphor Spider King!"

Silver: "The Cloud Camphor Spider King!"

Jin: "Our Flame Spider Kingdom will soon have seven Spider Kings!"

Silver: "The Flame Spider tribe's strength has reached a new level!"

"Wow! These two little ones are very lively!"

"Jin, I heard you mutated after eating the divinely bestowed Leilinan from the Lord of Sikui Mountain?"

"Yes."

Have you fed it to other common flame spiders?

"Uh~ I wouldn't dare try that so casually."

"..."

After chatting for a while, seeing that the two lords were in a good mood, Jin took the opportunity to say, "Lord Yunzhang, last time at the Cyathea Mountain ruins, I obtained a device that can process food with primal force... Were you there at the time?"

"exist!"

Lord Flame Camphor said, "Cloud Camphor even helped you carry it for over ten kilometers, doesn't Little Spider remember?"

"Remember……"

Jin was slightly embarrassed.

There were so many spiders helping out and watching, I can't remember them all.

Lord Yunzhang said, "Famu told me that there is a divinely bestowed seed of a different-colored persimmon tree in the north of the mountain. It is Lord Youzhang's destiny seed, an earth-elemental tree. The fruit it produces has a lot of pulp, accounting for more than 20% of the total primal energy. Jin, you are in charge of the output of this tree. The fruit will ripen at the end of winter. Come over then, and the treasure chest used to store primal energy food will be empty for you."

"Ok!"

"Thank you, Lord Yunzhang!"

Jin thanked him, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Lord Cloud Camphor, Lord Flame Camphor, are there still two Sea Lemon God-given Seeds on the mountain..."

The Sea Lemon Tree is the 'national tree' of the Flame Spider Kingdom. It is planted in most of the Flame Spider warriors' territories on the Twin Islands of Salo, and there are also many large-scale plantings. With such a large population, the number of Sea Lemon Tree Divine Seeds born is also relatively large.

The Sea Lemon Tree's enhancement effect is also extremely unique, adding a paralyzing poison to certain types of elemental abilities, and when enhanced to the extreme, it possesses a very strong lethality.

Flame Spiders are born with venom glands and fangs. Many Flame Spider Warriors' fire-based abilities are inherently poisonous, perfectly complementing the enhancement effects of the Sea Lemon Tree.

Lord Yunzhang hesitated, "I'm afraid that won't work..."

Lord Flame Camphor spoke in a serious, slightly didactic tone, earnestly saying:

"The Flame Spider Kingdom has 1300 Flame Spider warriors and over 300 alien warriors. The vast majority of these warriors do not possess the Divine Seed. Those warriors without the Divine Seed go to beg for some peels and pulp to eat during the harvest season when the fruits of the Divine Seeds they need ripen. This is a custom that existed before the kingdom was officially established, a tacit rule, and also the hope for warriors without the Divine Seed to evolve upwards. More importantly, it is the foundation for the harmonious coexistence and unity of the kingdom's warriors."

"Jin, your device can bring you profits, but remember, use it in moderation and with caution. Don't harm or encroach on the interests of other Zerg warriors."

"I see……"

Jin said, "There are many warriors who need Sea Lemon Fruit, so I won't compete with everyone for it."

"Good. When you're a spider or a trader, never be greedy."

After a lecture, Lord Flame Camphor pointed out:

"South of Sumu Peak, on Yilan Mountain, there are warriors from the Locust Nymph tribe, and the lord of Tianqing Mountain. There is a small wild banana plant, a divinely bestowed seed, which is also of the earth element. Most of the warriors who need it have already consumed it. Go find it. That divinely bestowed seed can bring you extremely rich rewards!"
