#172 - Evolution - Harvest Banquet
Fourleaf sought out the Mountain Lord of Hackberry and exchanged the harvested Primal Force food for Primal Stones. As it said, it exchanged Primal Force food for 1,800 Primal Stones, of which 1,000 were left for the Divine Plum Seed.
Plumlee was just a small shrub: it was estimated that so many Primal Stones would be enough, but if it wasn't enough, there was nothing to be done. They had been grafted for so long, and should have matured long ago.

Even in order to wait for the Divine Plum Seed to mature, Fourleaf suppressed the speed of evolving to the third instar, just waiting for the Divine Plum Seed to mature, and then quickly break through, incorporating it into the Life Sac and nurturing it into a Life Seed.
But Fourleaf had been too busy lately to free up its claws to harvest sunflowers and gather Primal Force food. These were all relatively troublesome tasks.
Now that it had freed up its claws, Fourleaf carried the Primal Stones to the Hundred Fruit Forest, raised its head, and looked up at the Divine Plum Seed on the tree, slowly absorbing natural Primal Force.
Now, the rate at which the Divine Plum Seed absorbed natural Primal Force had become very slow, and it was estimated that it would mature in the next few days.
Fourleaf and Danggui guarded under the plum tree, scraping a few Primal Stones onto it every day to speed up its maturation time.
After three or four days, the rate at which the Divine Plum Seed absorbed Primal Force suddenly increased.
Seeing the fruit on the tree accelerate its absorption of Primal Force, Fourleaf shuddered. Extremely familiar with the Divine Seed, it immediately called out to Danggui: "The Divine Plum Seed is about to mature."
"Ah, then should we use Primal Stones?"
"Yes," Fourleaf and Danggui continuously scraped Primal Stones under the tree, allowing the escaping Primal Force to be absorbed by the Divine Plum Seed.
After half a day, the Divine Plum Seed completely stopped absorbing Primal Force.
Danggui asked: "Fourleaf, is this considered mature?"
Danggui had experienced the maturation of the Divine Rapeseed Flower Seed and the Divine Date Palm Seed, and had a lot of experience.
"It's mature. Let it convert Primal Force into Primal Energy. This will take a few more days. I also need to prepare for evolution. Danggui, bring it to my nest in three days."
"Okay, Fourleaf, don't worry. I'll guard here and send the Divine Seed to your nest before you complete your evolution." Danggui chirped happily. This Divine Plum Seed also had its own share. When the Divine Plum Seed produced something, then it, too, would be a cicada with a share of Divine Primal Force food.
"Yes," Fourleaf glanced around. Of the 1,000 Primal Stones on the ground, only 600 were used, leaving more than 300.
"Collect all the Primal Stones on the ground. Also, if I'm asleep when the Autumn Harvest Feast begins, bring the Primal Force food I prepared to share with everyone." It could sleep, but its share still had to be shared with everyone.
"Understood," Danggui readily agreed.
Seeing this, Fourleaf didn't say anything more. From spring to now, it hadn't evolved for more than half a year.
It was now impatient to evolve to the third instar.
Fourleaf hurried back to the nest. After the typhoon messed up the nest, it found a large pile of soft reed flowers by the riverbank to use as bedding in the innermost part of the nest, which was quite comfortable to sleep on.
Usually, besides itself, Danggui would also sleep here. Of course, most of the time, Danggui preferred to stay in the tree and only ran in when it rained.
Bai Zhi occasionally came to join in the fun, and sometimes even brought Artemisia with it.
HL
little gadgets used at that time, with words like 'Evolving, do not disturb!' written on them.
Fourleaf circled the territory, planting flags in conspicuous places, and then returned to the nest to evolve with peace of mind.
The safe evolution time within the intermediate warrior instar was 4-6 months+, which referred to the situation where Primal Force food was sufficient in all aspects. Otherwise, without Primal Force food, let alone 6 months, it wouldn't evolve in 6 years.
Fourleaf had not evolved for seven months from the beginning of spring until now. During this period, it had been eating all kinds of Primal Force food suitable for the spider's physique in a balanced manner. It had a 99% certainty of evolving to the third instar.
Fourleaf hid in the nest and ate all kinds of pre-prepared Primal Force food little by little until it filled its stomach. After brewing for a day or two, it smoothly fell into a deep sleep.
Outside the nest, Danggui waited for the Divine Plum Seed to completely mature, then picked it and returned to the territory to wait for Fourleaf to wake up from its slumbering evolution.
After all the Primal Force food had been harvested, Bai Zhi also ran to Fourleaf's place for a stroll. Seeing the flags planted in the territory, it originally didn't want to come in, but seeing Danggui guarding outside the nest, it quietly crawled over.
It lowered its mental thoughts and said: "How long has Fourleaf been asleep?"
Danggui didn't reply. It flapped its wings, signaling Bai Zhi to chat with it at a distance, so as not to disturb Fourleaf's evolution.
After flying hundreds of meters away from the nest, it replied to Bai Zhi's words: "Fourleaf has been asleep for two or three days."
"Oh, oh," Bai Zhi said: "Ji Xue and the others have scheduled the Autumn Harvest Feast for five days later. I didn't expect Fourleaf to be in such a hurry to evolve. Should I notify Ji Xue and the others to postpone the feast?"
"Fourleaf said no, don't delay the feast because of its evolution and spoil everyone's fun."
Bai Zhi muttered: "Okay then, it should make it in time, right?"
Fourleaf in the nest naturally didn't know what they were talking about outside. In its sleep, it only felt the Primal Force food in its belly being quickly digested, turning into Primal Energy and filling its body.
Its body also seemed to swell little by little, and then it felt a layer of shell outside its body blocking it from stretching its body, making it very uncomfortable.
It woke up slowly and was confused for a while before realizing that it was evolving into a third instar intermediate warrior.
Looking at the current situation, it had already evolved successfully. It was not surprised by this. Eating the Primal Force food set most suitable for Flame Spider evolution in the entire Primal Force Star Realm, it would have failed unless it was a waste. Obviously, it was not.
Even after several days of evolution, it still had spare energy in its body. It peeled open the old carapace, first the eight spider legs, then the front and rear carapaces. The entire spider crawled out of the old carapace.
It looked at its new state, a third instar intermediate warrior, and also a Flame Spider warrior that could be considered relatively large among the Zerg warriors. At this moment, its leg span reached about 1.2 meters.
Scanning outwards with its mental power, its mental power scanning range also reached 50 meters.
Its mental power sensed that there were several insects waiting for it at the entrance of the cave, but it was not in a hurry. It ate the food that had been prepared long ago slowly and leisurely until it was full before walking out of the nest.
Bai Zhi, who was waiting outside, greeted it happily: "Fourleaf, did you evolve successfully?"
Greater taxation is clearly visible!
,
Danggui also stepped forward and handed the Divine Plum Seed to Fourleaf: "Quickly nurture the Divine Seed into a Life Seed."
"Okay," Fourleaf didn't bother to chat with Bai Zhi. It spat out the honeysuckle seeds nurtured in the second instar,
and packed them in a silk bag.
After taking the Divine Plum Seed and tearing open the flesh on the surface, it incorporated the fruit core inside into the Life Sac.
After swallowing the Divine Seed, everyone relaxed.
Fourleaf asked: "How many days have I been asleep?"
Bai Zhi: "You've been asleep for seven days."
"Oh, then is the Autumn Harvest Feast over?"
Bai Zhi looked at the setting sun: "It should have already started."
Fourleaf was surprised: , "Since it's about to start, why haven't you gone yet?"
Danggui took it for granted: "I am your symbiotic Zerg. I have to stay here and protect your safety. Of course I won't go. Bai Zhi, why haven't you gone?"
Bai Zhi scratched its head with its front feet: "We are good friends, ah. You are still evolving. How can I leave you and go to the banquet alone to eat and drink?"
The Artemisia bee queen flew up and landed on Bai Zhi's carapace: , "I am Bai Zhi's symbiotic Zerg. If Bai Zhi doesn't go, I naturally won't go either."
"You guys --" These guys are quite heartwarming.
"Then let's go now! Where is the banquet being held?"
"At Hundred Fruit Forest, on the open space where everyone studies."
"Oh, oh," that's the place everyone is most familiar with, and it's located in the middle of everyone's territory, close to everyone. Holding the banquet there is convenient for everyone.
"Then let's go."
"Charge!" Angelica and Artemisia take the lead in spreading their wings and flying.
As the sun sets, the Autumn Harvest Banquet of the Flame Spider Kingdom is about to officially begin.
Inside the venue, Accumulated Snow and Rejuvenation arrange the placement of various origin power foods. They take out stone plates and bamboo tubes made by the Watanabe Flame Spider tribe, placing origin power foods and ordinary foods on the stone plates, and pouring various fruit juices into the bamboo tubes.
Hundreds of plates and bamboo tubes are placed in the center of the venue, for everyone to take and eat.
Accumulated Snow asks: "Haven't Four-Leaf Clover and Bai Zhi arrived yet?"
Rejuvenation: "I heard that Four-Leaf Clover is undergoing age evolution. Angelica and Bai Zhi are waiting for it. If it hasn't finished evolving, it probably won't be able to come."
Accumulated Snow mutters: "Four-Leaf Clover's age evolution is quite fast. I knew I should have postponed the banquet for two days."
Rejuvenation swings its feelers: "Four-Leaf Clover just didn't want to affect everyone's mood. Otherwise, if it had said so earlier, the time could still have been changed."
"Four-Leaf Clover's evolution is fast enough. It seems it will be able to advance to a high-level warrior in a few years."
Rejuvenation chuckles: "Accumulated Snow, Four-Leaf Clover's evolution speed is almost catching up to you."
"Yeah!" Accumulated Snow remembers when it first met Four-Leaf Clover, Four-Leaf Clover was still a two-year-old beginner Flame Spider. It was already nine years old at the time, a difference of seven years.
Now it is a seven-year-old intermediate warrior, but Four-Leaf Clover has already reached three-year-old intermediate, a difference of only four years between the two. It is estimated that after reaching high-level warrior, the two will gradually become equal.
"Rejuvenation, your evolution speed is not slow either."
Rejuvenation is now also a seven-year-old intermediate warrior.
The two spiders chat for a few words, then turn the topic back to the banquet: "Let's put out all kinds of origin power foods.
Although Four-Leaf Clover and Bai Zhi have not arrived, there are still so many other Flame Spider warriors. This autumn harvest banquet is quite large in scale."
"Work, work."
As they get busy, other spiders also rush to the banquet venue.
In the kingdom, in addition to the tribal grand banquet once every ten years and the kingdom banquet once every hundred years,
the time and number of spiders for other banquets are not fixed.
For the tribal grand banquet once every ten years, the six departments of the kingdom will each hold a banquet. In addition to celebrating, it is also to allow spiders who are on the verge of evolution to eat various origin power foods to increase the probability of evolution.
The kingdom banquet once every hundred years is even larger. The six departments of Flame Spiders gather together to eat and drink, celebrating the kingdom's centenary.
As for the millennial banquet, there is no such thing. Who would live that long? Even if they could live that long, they would probably be so old that their whole body would be buried in the soil, with only their feelers left outside. They would be almost dead, so how could they have the mood to celebrate?
In addition to these two fixed banquets, there are also various other banquets, such as the enthronement banquet. When a king-level Flame Spider appears in the kingdom, the kingdom will hold a large banquet to celebrate.
There is also the divine-grade banquet. When the kingdom has a bumper harvest of divine-grade fruits, it is also a carnival.
Low-level banquets of various kinds are countless and are held irregularly, depending on the mood of the insects.
For example, this autumn harvest banquet, celebrating the good harvest after the typhoon, is considered a relatively low-level one, only attended by junior and intermediate warrior workers.
Intermediate warriors take out some origin power foods for everyone to eat, drink, and exchange feelings.
Beginner warriors come to freeload, and they don't mind, because they are all supported by the kingdom and don't lack origin power foods.
High-level warriors basically don't participate in this kind of banquet. At their level, the kingdom no longer provides origin stones for support. They have to accumulate resources to prepare for breaking through to the mountain lord level, and every bit of origin power food must be saved.
Moreover, they are not willing to come to children's games.
This time, two nine-year-old intermediate Flame Spiders proposed it, and Accumulated Snow and other seven or eight-year-old Flame Spiders took the lead in holding it, and everyone prepared to have a lively time.
For this banquet, Zhu Jiao, a nine-year-old intermediate Flame Spider warrior, specially borrowed a creation of extraterrestrial civilization from the kingdom's inner treasury.
After the sky completely darkened, Zhu Jiao opened the creation of extraterrestrial civilization, and the light illuminated the entire venue as if it were daytime.
Four-Leaf Clover and the others arrived, quickly integrated into the spider group, and chatted happily with familiar spiders. Angelica and Artemisia scurried around.
As the venue became lively, Four-Leaf Clover and Bai Zhi ran to the center of the venue to get bamboo tubes and drink juice.
Seeing Four-Leaf Clover's arrival, Accumulated Snow and Rejuvenation were also very happy.
"Four-Leaf Clover, we were just talking about you. We thought you weren't coming."
"I just broke through. I came over as soon as I finished breaking through."
"It's good that you made it."
In the middle of the venue, a nine-year-old intermediate Flame Spider warrior raised a bamboo tube with its front foot: "Everyone, whether you are an intermediate Flame Spider or a beginner Flame Spider, or a symbiotic insect race, since you have come to participate in the banquet, you must eat and drink well."
"Eat and drink well." Everyone raised their bamboo tubes.
It shouted again: "May the kingdom prosper for ten thousand years!"
Everyone echoed: "May the kingdom prosper for ten thousand years!"
"A toast to the prosperity of the kingdom." It took the lead in drinking the juice in its cup in one gulp.
"Cheers," everyone drank the juice in their cups.
This gathering, with Flame Spiders and symbiotic insect races together, numbered thirty to forty. Accumulated Snow and Rejuvenation, and several other seven or eight-year-old Flame Spiders, were responsible for adding origin power foods and drinks in the venue.
Four-Leaf Clover leaned over to check the vessel in Rejuvenation's claws: "Rejuvenation, what kind of drink is in your claws?"
"Sugarcane juice, would you like a cup? There's also watermelon juice, grape juice—"
"Give me a cup of watermelon juice."
Four-Leaf Clover praised as it drank: "This kind of banquet is not bad."
"Hehe," Rejuvenation said with a slightly smug look: "Everyone has put in a lot of effort for this banquet.
I didn't pay attention to it usually, but there are quite a lot of spiders in the kingdom."
“You’re overthinking it. It hasn’t been held for the past two years. If it weren’t for this year’s need to eliminate the adverse effects caused by the typhoon, everyone might not have held a banquet.”
Four-Leaf Clover: "Don't think so much, just be happy at the gathering now, cheers!"
"Haha, that's right, cheers!" Rejuvenation and Accumulated Snow also raised their bamboo tubes and drank beverages with everyone.
Four-Leaf Clover: "I also brought a divine-bestowed origin power food, morning glory seeds. There aren't many, but everyone should be able to share one seed each."
Accumulated Snow and Rejuvenation's sixteen eyes lit up. There's still divine-bestowed origin power food to eat?
The origin power food套餐in the kingdom also contains divine-bestowed origin power food, but the quantity is very small. Now that there is free divine-bestowed origin power food to eat, who wouldn't be happy?
It's just that I didn't expect Four-Leaf Clover to be so generous.
Four-Leaf Clover took out a spider silk bag and poured the morning glory seeds inside onto a plate.
Accumulated Snow took the plate and emitted a mental thought: "There is divine-bestowed origin power food to eat. Come and get it if you want to eat it.
One insect can take one seed."
"Divine-bestowed origin power food? What kind is it? Is it delicious?" The spiders gathered around, wanting to taste it.
Just as everyone took the divine-bestowed morning glory seeds to eat, another spider took out a spider silk bag: "I also have monkey wine made by monkeys here. Are there any spiders who want to taste it?"
"Wine? What is that? Let's go taste it—"
"I brought a Rubik's Cube made by Cang Er Mountain Lord, imitating a creation of extraterrestrial civilization, for everyone to play with—"
The Flame Spiders were not stingy. They took out all kinds of delicacies, origin power foods, and peculiar items to share and play with.
Everyone ate, drank, and enjoyed the carefree days of childhood under the bright lights.
Outside Hundred Fruit Forest, Lord Qingfeng silently guarded the little Flame Spiders to prevent accidents. Seeing their happy appearance, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.
