Natural God's Gift

At the entrance to the territory of the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe, Lord Ziji, all alone, carried three insect heads, his steps heavy as he approached the Flame Spider Tribe lords.

Lord Ziji threw the three insect heads on the ground and said in a dull, spiritless tone: "Lord Qingfeng, after our investigation, one of our tribe's lords had a conflict with a Flame Spider merchant and actually took the Flame Spider merchant's goods.

To express our tribe's apology, we took it upon ourselves to clean house, hoping this matter will not affect the friendship between the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe and the Flame Spider Kingdom."

Lord Qingfeng and the other spiders exchanged glances. This guy was really good at smoothing things over. It was clearly a robbery, but he said it was just a conflict. It sounded like they were so eager to take insect lives over a mere conflict with a merchant.

However, they didn't expect Lord Ziji of the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe to be so ruthless, directly dealing with the insects himself. They originally thought they would have to do it themselves.

The Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe's attitude was so good that they found it difficult to pursue the matter further. After all, if you came to demand accountability, even though you had the intention to kill insects, their own insect had already resolved the issue and showed you the results.

They didn't even let you lift a claw, subduing the insect without a fight, giving you both face and respect. What more could you be dissatisfied with?

Seeing that the spiders were silent, Lord Ziji continued: "Lord Qingfeng, Lord Shegan, to show our sincerity, we are willing to compensate the Flame Spider merchant for the losses in this conflict."

Lord Ziji sent a mental message to the interior of the tribe, and five mountain lords of the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe each carried several large spider silk bags and walked out.

They put down the bulging spider silk bags, and Lord Ziji suppressed his grief, trying to keep his mental power as calm as possible: "We are willing to compensate with one million original stones worth of primal force food, as compensation for the Flame Spider merchant who was frightened this time, and as a hard-earned fee for you all who traveled so far."

Seeing that the insects of the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe all looked like they were more dead than alive, Lord Qingfeng shook his head. Why did it feel like they were the victims, and they, the spiders, were the villains?

Lord Qingfeng looked at the insect heads on the ground: "Jinguang, Jinkumu, are these the three insects that robbed you?"

"It's them," even though the three insects were dead, the two Flame Spiders could still feel the familiar primal energy aura on them. It was indeed the insects that robbed them.

After the two mountain lords confirmed, Lord Qingfeng said indifferently: "The compensation and hard-earned fee are not needed. Just return the goods that were robbed from us.

In addition, we will also take these three insect heads away."

Lord Ziji was numb, but the insects were already dead, and even if he was unwilling, he could only endure it at this point.

Lord Ziji forced a smile and said: "Then, of our one million original stones worth of primal force food, two hundred thousand original stones worth of primal force food will be returned as the stolen goods, and the remaining eight hundred thousand original stones worth of primal force food will be used as a deposit for ordering primal force food next year, how about that?"

Lord Shegan and the others remained silent, only casting their gazes at Lord Qingfeng. Of course, they knew that this time, being able to make a lord-level insect warrior of a large tribe commit suicide without bloodshed was not only because they had overwhelming strength, but also because they controlled the trade route.

They had a trade route that integrated various primal force foods from the Primal Force Starfield. The primal force warriors of the Myriad Races Continent could buy their favorite primal force foods as long as they had original stones. It was no exaggeration to say that the trade route under their feet was related to the advancement of all lord-level and above insect warriors in the Primal Force Starfield.

As long as the trade route didn't have problems, then all the insect races couldn't do without the Flame Spider merchants.

This was also the reason why they were so furious after learning that the Flame Spider merchants had been robbed. Robbing merchants was equivalent to digging up the roots of their kingdom.

Their Flame Spider merchants were trusted by all races to travel on the continent, and even the transaction time was rarely delayed. This was a manifestation of their reputation.

Being robbed once meant losing not only the wealth on the spider's carapace, but also the reputation of having agreed to a transaction with other insect races but not being able to fulfill it, as well as the dignity of a top-tier tribe.

Originally, according to what Lord Qingfeng had said before, they should cut off the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe's trade route in the future, but seeing that Lord Ziji's attitude was so humble, only Lord Qingfeng could make the decision.

Among the six tribes of Flame Spiders, the original Flame Spider still had the highest status under the same great realm. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let Lord Qingfeng, who was in his first age, lead the team this time.

Lord Qingfeng: "Next year's transaction, let's talk about it when the caravan comes next year!

Their Flame Spider merchants and the insect races of the Fang Race Continent had a mutually beneficial relationship. It could even be said that the Flame Spider merchants needed the Myriad Races tribes.

Without the Flame Spider merchants, there might be rhinoceros beetle merchants, moth merchants, etc. It wasn't like the insect races of the Myriad Races Continent wouldn't survive without the Flame Spider Tribe.

Now that the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe's attitude was so humble, just to keep the trade route flowing, they couldn't overdo it. Otherwise, if they were really pushed too hard, they could find customers all over the continent themselves.

In addition to this, Lord Ziji also separated this robbery behavior from the tribe, and they didn't even have a reason to disagree.

This trip of theirs, making the lord of the Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe surrender without bloodshed, would be a great shock to the thousands of insect races. If they really didn't come the second year, it would seem like they were guilty, fearing retaliation from the other party.

As for whether the other party would be retaliated against? Their Flame Spider merchants were already taking risks traveling on the continent. If they didn't dare to take any risks, they would probably only be able to stay in the kingdom and wait to die.

Hearing Lord Qingfeng say that the caravan would come next year, Lord Ziji finally felt a little relieved. No matter what, the trade route was preserved, and he was a little more sincere: "Several lords, would you like to come into the tribe and rest for a while?"

"No," Lord Qingfeng refused Lord Ziji's kindness: "We have other things to do. Open 4

Ancheng.

He looked at the two mountain lords of the Golden Merchant Troupe: "Go and take back your own goods and continue to complete this year's unfinished primal force food transaction!"

"Okay."

Lord Ziji didn't say anything when he heard them say they had other things to do.

He looked at Lord Qingfeng, and then at the several mountain lord-level Flame Spiders, two of whom stepped forward to count out their original share of primal force food.

Lord Ziji was thoughtful. Perhaps the daring insects were not only from their Purple-Blue Mantis Tribe. It was a pity that if there were more Flame Spider merchants who were robbed, these Flame Spiders might not dare to come to their door so arrogantly to demand insects!

However, thinking that perhaps it wasn't just his own tribe that was unlucky, Lord Ziji's heart suddenly wasn't so sad.

When you're unlucky, finding another unlucky person together will always make you feel a little better.

Lord Qingfeng naturally didn't know what he was thinking. He picked up the three insect heads, tied them to his leg with spider silk thread, didn't bother to give Lord Ziji a good look, gave the other lords a look, and took the lead to leave.

The matter here is resolved, but they still need to make a trip to the Long-Snouted Locust Tribe, hoping they will be as cooperative as the Purple-Blue Mantis Shrimp Tribe and not require them to take action.

The Long-Snouted Locust Tribe is located in the northeastern part of the Myriad Races Continent, relatively close to where the Starship is.

Coincidentally, the Tiger Clan warriors who robbed the Purple Jade Plate Mountain Master are also in the northeast direction, which saves them from having to travel to too many places.

“The Long-Snouted Locust Tribe doesn't occupy mountains and rivers like other insects. Their tribe is in a plain, and that plain began to recover its original force five or six hundred years ago. Relatively speaking, the Long-Snouted Locust Tribe has developed several hundred years earlier than other tribes.

The tribe's overall strength is only stronger than the Purple-Blue Mantis Shrimp Tribe, and more importantly, they have the Flying Locust Kingdom behind them, so dealing with them might be a bit troublesome.”

“Heh, so what about a kingdom? We'll still attack!” Qingfeng Leader sneered. It had anticipated this situation. If they didn't have some strength, how would they dare to rob merchant caravans?

“Hopefully, they will be as smart as the Purple-Blue Mantis Shrimp Tribe.”

“It would be best if that were the case.”

The Quemai Grassland, located in the northeastern part of the Myriad Races Continent, covers an area of over 500,000 square kilometers and is the territory of the Flying Locust Tribe.

In this grassland, countless locusts live, among which the Cloud-Spotted Car Locust, the Yellow-Spined Locust, and the Long-Snouted Locust are the leaders. The Flying Locust Kingdom they form is among the top kingdoms in the entire Myriad Races Continent, and they have always acted somewhat unscrupulously, which is why they dare to rob the Flame Spider Merchant.

The territory of the Long-Snouted Locust Tribe is located under a rather large God-Given Seed. Yi Zhi, the leader of the Long-Snouted Locust Tribe, is standing under the tree chatting with other insects, and beside him is actually the leader of a Stag Beetle Tribe.

Yi Zhi, the leader, who is entirely green, occasionally flaps his wings to drive away the small locusts hopping around him. It's winter, and the northern locusts won't be able to hop for many more days.

Yi Zhi, the leader, looked up at the desolate grassland, his mental thoughts slightly anxious, and said, “Leader Luoshi, you asked me to show some commitment, and I have completed the task you gave me. Shouldn't it be your turn to show some commitment next?”

The leader of the Stag Beetle Tribe is five to six meters in size, and the giant horn on its forehead looks particularly ferocious.

The Stag Beetle also has a familiar name: Rhinoceros Beetle.

Leader Luoshi responded plainly, “Leader Yi Zhi, please rest assured that 200,000 units of original force food will definitely be delivered next spring.”

“Two hundred thousand?” Leader Yi Zhi was dissatisfied, “I have already offended the Flame Spider Merchant. They might cut off trade with our tribe. Is a mere 200,000 units of original force food enough to dismiss me?”

Hearing this, Leader Luoshi was also extremely dissatisfied and said, “Leader Yi Zhi, our Golden Beetle Kingdom only felt that the Ziyun Merchant Team was actually selling the God-Given Seed as goods everywhere, disrespecting the God of Nature, so we wanted you to take action and punish them slightly.

Who knew that you would directly rob them? Your actions have added a lot of trouble to everyone for no reason.”

“Heh heh,” Leader Yi Zhi sneered, not believing a word of what Leader Luoshi said.

In recent years, the Golden Beetle Kingdom has developed very well. Its territory seems to be favored by the God of Nature. Not only has it found a giant mine, but God-Given Seeds also appear frequently. Many warriors have also been promoted to leaders. The insects of the Golden Beetle Kingdom are burly and large, a little bigger than most insect warriors, and most of the Golden Beetles also have strength-based talents, not to mention they can also fly.

After they became the top kingdom in the Myriad Races Continent, they had insects, original force food, and raw stones, possessing the right timing, geographical advantages, and the support of the insects.

Subsequently, they inevitably and naturally became interested in the merchant business, which could additionally increase their original force food income.

For many years, they have also sent insects to travel as merchants, but because they do not have the same identity as the Flame Spider Merchant, which is engraved in their inherited memories, their actions are not to say difficult, but it is also difficult to break the situation.

The main reason is that large tribes already have Flame Spider Merchants trading with them, regularly transporting original force food. Small tribes do not trust them, fearing that they will plunder their God-Given Seeds. Their reserves of original force food types are also far inferior to those of the Flame Spider Merchant, so it is naturally difficult to compete with them.

Only top kingdoms like the Flying Locust Kingdom, for various reasons, will conduct some original force food transactions with them.

They asked Leader Yi Zhi to cause trouble for the Flame Spider Merchant, also wanting to use this to open a breakthrough.

For Leader Yi Zhi, since he was going to offend the Flame Spider Merchant anyway, there was no difference between teaching them a lesson and robbing them.

Anyway, he had the Flying Locust Kingdom behind him. Would the Flame Spider Merchant abandon the entire Flying Locust Kingdom's trade because of a robbery?

Even if the Flame Spider Merchant abandoned the original force food trade with their Long-Snouted Locust Tribe, they could ask other insects in the kingdom to purchase on their behalf, or find the Golden Beetle Kingdom to purchase from, so there was nothing to fear for him.

As for whether the Flame Spider Merchant would attack? He had never considered it. The Flying Locust Kingdom has as many as seven or eight leaders in total, and more than thirty Mountain Master-level locusts. He didn't believe the Flame Spider had that much courage?

The only pity was that they didn't rob the God-Given Seed from the Ziyun Merchant Team. Otherwise, if he could cultivate it into a life seed, or resell it, the resources obtained might help him quickly advance to the Insect King. At that time, he could compete with Nancangshu Leader of the Cloud-Spotted Car Locust Tribe and Kucaowu Leader of the Yellow-Spined Locust Tribe for the position of the kingdom's great leader. Leader Yi Zhi thought for a while and suddenly said enthusiastically, “Let's not talk about what happened before. I think we can have in-depth cooperation next.

Leader Luoshi, you support me in becoming the great leader of the Flying Locust Kingdom, and when I become the great leader in the future, I will in turn support your merchant business, how about that?”

Leader Luoshi took a deep look at Leader Yi Zhi, but did not agree immediately.

Leader Yi Zhi was not stupid, just had too many small thoughts, but if supporting him to become the great leader of the Flying Locust Kingdom, it would not be a loss for their Golden Beetle Tribe.

“Let's see how the Flame Spider Kingdom will respond to this matter first.” This original force reincarnation period has just recovered, and no insect has provoked the Flame Spider Kingdom yet.

Since there was no precedent before, they all wanted to see how the Flame Spider Kingdom would respond.

Leader Yi Zhi smiled without saying a word. He was very confident in his judgment. Just as he was about to say something, a Mountain Master-level Long-Snouted Locust flew over in a panic: “Leader Yi Zhi, a group of spiders have broken into the kingdom and have been stopped by Nancangshu Leader and the others. Nancangshu Leader wants you to go over.”
