Dawn Spider

Chapter 95 Welcome
Lord Tianqing returned to his territory late at night.

Explain the whole story and the purpose of this trip.

Upon hearing that Lord Yanzhang had introduced him, Lord Tianqing immediately agreed.

After a quick calculation, the owner of Tianqing Mountain confirmed that his annual income would increase by more than 8,000 yuan, and he was equally delighted.

Successfully negotiated an extremely profitable deal.

The insects chatted happily for a long time.
After resting for half the night, they bid farewell and left in the early hours of the next day, returning to the Haimeng Mountains.

...

Along the mountain range, from east to west, there are eight peaks, named Qimu Peak, Qingmu Peak, Gemu Peak, Sumu Peak, Youmu Peak, Yelingmu Peak, Heguomu Peak, and Baoguanmu Peak, all of which belong to the lineage of the Worry-Free Spider King.

Further west are the Ziwei Peak, Zitan Peak, and Zisu Peak, which belong to the lineage of the Qimu Spider King, forming eight peaks in total.

Further west are the Purple Flower Crimson Peak, Blue Flower Crimson Peak, White Flower Crimson Peak, and other peaks belonging to the Spider King lineage of the Five Schools, which are also connected to eight other peaks...

The mountain range stretches for more than 400 kilometers, including Haimeng Peak, and comprises a total of 81 peaks where the Flame Spider Warriors reside.

Some of the peaks were inhabited by warriors from other tribes.

There are only a little over 1,600 Zerg warriors on the entire island. Most of them know each other, some are familiar, and some are not. Those closer to Zitan Peak are relatively well-acquainted, while those farther away are probably strangers.

Within the Flame Spider Kingdom, the warriors were relatively easy to talk to. Led by the Lord of Brown Bamboo Mountain, they only had to travel to twenty peaks to collect all 100 storage boxes.

The official price is 2000 per box for storing ordinary Force food and 5000 per box for storing God-given Force food.

In fact, many old Flame Spiders who have a good relationship with Lord Famu, or generous Great Lords, simply give it away without asking for any Primogems.

Jin also shamelessly asked first, "Can you deliver the box? If you can, thank you; if not, we can discuss the price."

In the end, the actual cost of 100 storage boxes was less than 20 Originium.

Once you have enough storage chests, selectively visit other peaks. Choose to visit lords of rich and generous peaks who might gift you storage chests. Choose to visit peaks with divinely bestowed seeds suitable for processing.

It lasted 13 days.
January 8th, 5th year of Shanglu
Just as the sea lemon flowers were about to bloom, at Jin's strong suggestion, they went to the Shark Wharf to wait for the merchant ships that were going to trade in the southern continent to return.

...

The ocean is teeming with ferocious spirits that lurk and hunt for food, while the coast is an absolute no-go zone for beginner, intermediate, and advanced warriors.

The Lord of Palm Bamboo Mountain was much more composed and cautious than the Lord of Red Cone Mountain. He rested and waited on a hill far from the coast, carrying gold and silver.

Two days later,
The setting sun at dusk,
The master of Red Cone Mountain suddenly jumped up and shouted with joy, "He's back!"

Silver, who had been lying listlessly on the top of the Palm Bamboo Mountain Master's head, instantly revived and stood up with a whoosh.

Jin, who was diligently practicing his combat skills, stopped and gazed into the distance. On the horizon where the sea and sky met, a white figure appeared – a sail.

Slowly, the giant ship crossed the horizon and came into view, riding the wind and gradually approaching the port.

The sails were furled.

Driven by the power of metallic and aquatic elements, the ship accelerates its voyage and then slows down to reach the shore.

The giant ship sailed into the deep-water port.

Ice-type ability activated, freezing the water.

A metal ramp extends out and touches the ground.

The Flame Spider Warriors on the ship, their backs fully loaded with cargo, disembarked in formation.

Meanwhile, the Flame Spider Warriors, who had been waiting at the port, acted swiftly, boarding the ship and unloading large bags of cargo.

Under the command of the Wood Spider King, the Five School Spider King, the Worry-Free Spider King, and the nine lord-level warriors in charge of the Sea Lemon Mountain, the unloaded goods were inspected, recorded, categorized, and sent to the dock warehouse for storage.

Unloading complete.

Next came the goods that were stockpiled at the dock warehouses, which were then to be sent to the southern continent for trade, and were loaded onto the giant ships in large bags.

I was busy until late at night when the work was finally finished.

At this moment, the Lord of the Palm Bamboo Mountain waved his claws to signal, and led the Lord of the Red Cone Mountain, Gold, and Silver, quickly down the hill.

...

"The King of the Kashi Tree Spiders!"

"Five School Spider King!"

"The Worry-Free Spider King!"

"Lord Famu! Lord Yunxun! Lord Huorong..."

A large group of familiar spiders gathered together, exchanging a flurry of greetings.

The King of the Wood Spiders angrily questioned, "Are you the Palm Bamboo of Purple Sandalwood Peak? These two little warriors are Gold and Silver, right? Why did you bring them to the seaside?"

Jin quickly explained, "The treasure chest we got from the ruins last time has been opened. The Lord of Palm Bamboo and Red Cone Mountain were with me buying empty chests, and we stopped by here to take a look. I'm looking for Lord Famu; this year I need to exchange a little more of the divinely bestowed primal force food that comprehensively strengthens internal organs..." Yin added, "We were very obedient and waited on that hill the whole time; there was no danger."

"No matter how dangerous it is, you are not allowed to run towards the beach!"

The King of the Wood Spiders reprimanded and threatened, "There was once a spider about the same size as Famu, a mountain lord-level creature, that hunted at sea. It was attacked by a ferocious spirit lurking in the sea and lost its life..."

Is that so? Who? Lord Famu thought for a moment, but hadn't heard of anything like it. He changed the subject and asked a series of questions:

"Zongzhu and Hongzhu, have you spoken with the lords of each peak? How many treasure chests have you agreed on? Gathering 100 shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's not difficult. It's very easy."

Zongzhu spoke rapidly, reporting, "Six on Lacquerwood Peak, four on Lightwood Peak, and five on Gemu Peak..."

"Okay! As long as there are enough!"

Lord Famu raised his claws to interrupt, his gaze sweeping over Gold and Silver, and asked questioningly, "You two little guys want divinely bestowed food that can comprehensively enhance your internal organs?"

Jin Rushi said, "There are two reasons. First, as I age, the enhancement effect of my life sac on the Golden Leaf Vine's divine gift seed gradually decreases. I want to try and see if my life sac can be strengthened..."

The Worry-Free Spider King immediately gave an affirmative answer, saying, "The Life Pouch is a divine ability bestowed by the True God of Nature, and it cannot be enhanced!"

"..."

As expected, Jin paused, then said unwillingly, "I'll give it a try."

Jin continued, "Secondly, I plan to appropriately increase the strength of the spider silk."

"That's acceptable..."

Lord Famu knew that Jin had been diligently practicing combat with spider silk, and that he couldn't dissuade him despite his efforts. Speechless, he didn't dwell on it and simply agreed:
“Okay, Jin, I’ll help you exchange for a divinely bestowed food that’s worth 1 Primogems and comprehensively strengthens your internal organs.”

Lord Famu asked, "Now that we have the container to encapsulate the Force food, and the 4-year-old intermediate warrior isn't particularly young anymore, then, Jin, can we try making a deal?"

Kim replied, "That's exactly what we planned!"

The owner of the Palm Bamboo Mountain reported: "We have visited all the divinely bestowed seeds suitable for cooperative processing and reached an agreement on 28 trees in total. Among them, 15 trees have an energy content of more than 5% in the pulp and peel, 13 divinely bestowed seeds have shriveled pods or capsules with an energy content of less than 5%... the lowest is only around 1%."

The master of Zongzhu Mountain praised, "This little guy Jin is observant, has a clear mind, and behaves appropriately. He is a natural-born trader."

"Silver is quite clever. It will chime in for Gold when the time is right. The two of them worked together to negotiate the acquisition of these 28 divinely bestowed seeds. Red Cone and I listened from the side without interfering much."

"is it?"

"Are gold and silver really that powerful?"

Lord Famu was very pleased. Seeing dozens of large spiders watching, he deliberately used his mental power to lecture them:
"Jin, the Lord of Sikui Mountain and I don't ask you to earn a lot of raw stones or make a fortune. We'll be satisfied if you can make up for the loss of your life seed through trading, achieve self-reliance, and grow and evolve normally."

Jin also roused his mental energy and replied firmly, "I understand! I can do it!"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain chimed in, "Yes, yes. I've raised Gold and Silver since they were little, and they're just as clever and quick-witted as I am. We're both trading geniuses!"

"..."

A large group of spiders around them were choked.

The red cone spider likes to wander around and play. All the spiders present recognize it, know a little about it, and know its quality...

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain ignored him and raised his paw to volunteer, saying, "I can take Jin with me, familiarize it with the transaction process, help it transport goods, and protect its safety."

"you?"

Lord Famu was initially quite happy, but upon hearing Red Cone's words, he felt inexplicably heartbroken. After deep thought and hesitation for half a minute, seeing that Jin seemed to have no objections, he reluctantly agreed:
“Alright. Red Cone, then you take Gold with you for another two years until it evolves into an advanced warrior and can act independently.”

The Kashiwa Spider King said leisurely, "I also have 10 boxes of divinely bestowed food. After I finish eating, Famu, remember to come and pick up the boxes. They are a gift for the little guy."

The Worry-Free Spider King said magnanimously, "I also have 10 boxes. I'll give them all to Jin as a token of my support for your transaction. Famu, remember to come back and collect them from me later."

Just as the Spider King of the Five Schools was about to express his opinion, the surrounding spiders who had gathered to watch the spectacle suddenly erupted into chaos.

--Huh!

—That doesn't seem right, does it?

—No! No!

—10 boxes of God-given Force food?
—Wasn't there only 141 boxes of God-given Force food in the underground vault back then?

—More than 141 boxes?
—The Spider King and the Insect King have taken all the good stuff!

—How did they get 10 boxes of God-given Force food?
—Wasn't it agreed that the Spider King and the Insect King would each take 10 treasures?

—Is there nothing else in the treasure vault?
Where is the stuff?

—They took more than 10 items!
—I guess all the Spider Kings and Insect Kings in the Flame Spider Kingdom and Ivory Island Kingdom have 10 boxes of God-given Force food.

—Everyone should work together to solve the disaster? And all the benefits go to these old guys?
—Isn't that going too far?
