Natural God's Gift

Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi returned to the Hundred Fruit Forest, and as soon as they entered, they saw Danggui chasing away the naughty little warriors.

"Go, go, stay away."

Several Flame Spider little warriors, in their early third or fourth instar, surrounded Danggui, curiously looking at the fruits on the trees.

These little warriors were all newly born Flame Spiders in the past year or two. Some Four-Leaf knew, some Four-Leaf didn't, all were descendants of Mountain Lord Huzhang and Mountain Lord Xuanyu.

Strictly speaking, they and Bai Zhi might even be siblings.

As for it, it was half of one, after all, it was a spider that Mountain Lord Ziyun brought back from outside.

Four-Leaf rudely said to two of the Flame Spider little warriors: "Longshe, Baimao, what are you doing here?"

One Flame Spider little warrior responded: "We're here to pick up fruits. Didn't many fruits fall after the typhoon? We're picking some up to store and eat."

"Oh, oh, you guys are so brave, aren't you afraid of being blown away?"

The Flame Spider little warriors stayed nearby, reluctant to leave: "Four-Leaf, is this God-given Seed yours or Mountain Lord Xuanyu's?"

"You little spider, why do you care so much?"

After thinking for a while, Four-Leaf took out a few unpeeled chestnuts, giving one to each Flame Spider little warrior: "You guys honestly stay at home. Some branches will occasionally fall after the typhoon. Be careful of being crushed to death if you run around!"

"Go home quickly, go home quickly. If I see you running around again, I'll hang you up and whip you to death."

Bai Zhi also started chasing them away.

The Flame Spider little warriors saw Four-Leaf and the others starting to chase them away, and they already had Force food in their claws.

They quickly left, hugging the large chestnuts.

After chasing away the Flame Spider little warriors, Danggui hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Four-Leaf, did your life seed suffer any losses?"

"The losses were huge."

Four-Leaf dejectedly told Danggui about its losses.

"That's a terrible loss."

Bai Zhi's rapeseed God-given Seed also suffered quite a bit of damage. Now the three insects were all in a bad mood.

"By the way, Danggui, the beach is full of dead fish. If they aren't cleaned up, they'll start to stink. Fly to Twin Peaks and ask Queen Artemisia to bring worker bees to help."

"Okay."

Danggui readily agreed. With such a large area, the three of them couldn't possibly finish the job alone.

At this moment, Danggui changed the subject and said: "Four-Leaf, I just thought of a good idea."

"What is it?"

Danggui gestured for them to look at its carapace: "Didn't I awaken an ability when I was in the early third instar?

Mountain Lord Ludi said at the time that this might be an ability related to time. Lord Qingfeng also experimented with it, but it hasn't been touched in so many years.

I was wondering if I could use it once on this God-given Seed?"

"Huh???"

Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi had both seen Danggui's ability, but it hadn't used it for a year or two, and they were about to forget about it.

The two spiders carefully recalled Danggui's ability. Whether it was related to time or not, the two experiments did speed up plant growth.

Four-Leaf pondered: "Is this useful?"

Danggui: "Anyway, Lord Qingfeng has already grafted it. Didn't he say to try anything rather than nothing?

Let's give it a try."

Originally, it was said that the God-given Seeds obtained within the territory would be divided into 20% and 80%. Although it wasn't specified how they were obtained, they all defaulted to this division for God-given Seeds harvested from managing the territory.

Now, the God-given Seeds blown over by the wind were also within the agreement conditions, and it could also get 20% of the share.

But it hadn't done anything, and it felt a little embarrassed to gain without effort, so it wanted to contribute as much as possible.

"Then let's try?" It couldn't get any worse, right?

"Okay."

Seeing that Four-Leaf agreed to its experiment, Danggui flapped its cicada wings and flew to the plum tree, level with the God-given Seed.

Before using its ability, Danggui specially reminded them: "Then I'm going to use this ability."

Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi both retreated dozens of meters. Lord Qingfeng had said that this ability had a relatively large impact on plants, but who knew if this ability would affect the insect warriors?

If they were to come into contact with this ability and have some adverse reaction, wouldn't they be crying for nothing?

Danggui's cicada wings continuously flapped. It concentrated its mind beneath its carapace. Beneath its carapace, three silver-white, strange Force patterns were deeply imprinted in its muscles.

It mobilized the Force within its body and poured it into the Force patterns on its back. One of the Force patterns instantly lit up with a shimmering silver light, and then it transformed into a stream of water and entered Danggui's body.

Feeling the strange power that appeared in its body, Danggui couldn't help but cry out.

"Zhi la—"

As Danggui's cry rang out, a strange Force fluctuation, with Danggui as the starting point, oscillated outwards.

After a long while, Bai Zhi sent out a mental message and asked: "Danggui, is it done?"

"It's done,"

Danggui landed back on the ground.

Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi also gathered around, looking up at the God-given Seed on the tree. They knew that this ability wouldn't show results in a short time, but that didn't stop them from observing.

"Won't there be any problems?"

"Probably not."

Even if Danggui's ability wasn't related to time, it should be related to tree growth. They would know the situation in two days.

Danggui: "Then I'll go find Artemisia to come over?"

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

After half a summer, Danggui had also evolved into a middle-stage warrior of the second instar. A large cicada nearly a meter long, aren't you afraid?

Danggui spread its cicada wings and left quickly.

Bai Zhi turned to look at Four-Leaf: "Do you want to go for a walk somewhere else?"

Four-Leaf shook its antennae: "You go for a walk. Now, the kingdom is definitely not the only one suffering losses. You can check if the Accumulated Snow and the others have suffered any losses, and by the way, ask them to have a gathering together the day after tomorrow. These Force foods can't be stored for long, so it's better to eat them first."

"Okay!"

The typhoon had just passed, and everyone had a lot to do. It was walking around to contact everyone and see how their life seeds were doing.

Four-Leaf lay under the tree, carefully calculating. After a typhoon, many of the sunflowers it planted had also fallen over and might need a lot of branches to support them. The mugwort grass that Bai Zhi planted was probably about the same, right?

Was it going to have to cut down Wei again? Fortunately, not many sunflowers were planted in the spring, otherwise they would be exhausted and unable to finish so much work.

Damn it, this has unnecessarily increased the workload so much that they are going to be too busy. Should they use primal stones to hire elementary Flame Spider little warriors to help?

Just as Four-Leaf was thinking about what else it had to do this year, Danggui also notified Queen Artemisia and asked her to come and help.

Four-Leaf chatted with it: "Is everything okay with Queen Artemisia?"

"What could be wrong with her? There are only a few life seeds in total, and they are all planted in a sheltered mountain valley.

It's so far from the coast that the typhoon hasn't even passed through her territory."

After obtaining Lord Qingfeng's certification, Queen Artemisia successfully became Bai Zhi's symbiotic insect. At the same time, she was also able to receive the Force food needed for evolution from the kingdom for free.

With sufficient Force food, she had continuously evolved two levels in a short period of several months, and her life seeds had also increased by several plants, which can be considered a considerable growth.

The degree of Artemisia's evolution was still too low. If the degree of evolution was higher, she could help more.

Danggui flapped its wings indifferently: "Then let's just wait a few more years. Anyway, the thing we have the most of is time."

"That's right,"

The higher the level of promotion of their insect warriors, the longer their lifespan. For example, Mountain Lord Ziyun and the others have a lifespan of two or three hundred years, and Lord Qingfeng even has a lifespan of five or six hundred years. It is said that if they can be promoted to the king level, their lifespan can reach a thousand years. They can't even imagine how long a thousand years is?

However, this matter was still too far away for them, so there was no need to think so far ahead.

Four-Leaf raised its head to look at the plum God-given Seed on the tree: "Danggui, where do you think this God-given Seed will be planted when the time comes?"

"Ah?"

Danggui was a little dazed: "Of course, it will be planted in the territory. Where else could it be planted?

"Four-Leaf shook its antennae: "There are only so many coastal territories. A God-given Seed occupies at least one square kilometer. If I occupy so many positions, the little warriors won't have a place to plant life seeds.

After becoming advanced warriors, the warriors in the kingdom will be allocated territory to operate independently. After the mountain lord level, they directly take over the entire mountain."

"I can immediately be promoted to a middle-stage warrior of the third instar. If I apply for a territory from Lord Qingfeng a few instars in advance, I think he should agree.

Then we can plant our future life seeds in the new territory."

Danggui was still at a loss:! "Then where do you want to apply for as a territory?

Four-Leaf: "What do you think of Twin Peaks? Plant the life seeds there, and Queen Artemisia can take care of them."

Danggui: "You decide."

Anyway, it would follow Four-Leaf.

"Okay."

Applying for a territory was not something that could be done in a short time.

"Who is going to clean up the beach?"

Four-Leaf didn't want to care too much about what happened on the Calabash Beach. Anyway, Danggui and Bai Zhi had always been in charge of that area. It thought for a while: "You go. You can fly faster. Take all those fish to the beach where the Flame Spiders usually forage for food."

"Then weave two spider silk nets for me so I can easily carry the fish."

Four-Leaf immediately pulled out spider silk to make fishing nets: "Okay, if you think it's too troublesome, let Bai Zhi drive a group of little Flame Spiders to that beach. They can eat all the fish on the beach in two days."

Danggui hesitated: "Then will they eat all the shells in the shell pond?"

"Little Flame Spiders are very smart. Under normal circumstances, Flame Spider warriors won't eat what they are told not to eat."

"Normal circumstances? What about unusual circumstances?"

Four-Leaf: "Unusual circumstances are when you encounter naughty little Flame Spiders. Just keep a close eye on them."

"Okay!"

After Four-Leaf wove two spider silk fishing nets, it handed them to Danggui. Danggui left, carrying them and flapping its wings. It was probably going to find Queen Artemisia directly.

With Artemisia bringing her nest of worker bees to help, Artemisia, as a Force bee queen, could also command ordinary honeybees. The number of worker bees in her bee colony was as high as hundreds of thousands. When they flew up, they were like a dark cloud and could move anything. There shouldn't be a big problem on the beach.
