Natural God's Gift

“Half an hour's journey?”

Siyue looked at the vast sky. At this moment, the entire sky had darkened, as if it were evening.

The rain was also getting heavier and heavier. The sea was surging, and waves several meters high were constantly crashing onto Yunshi's back, submerging Siyue and the others completely several times.

If Siyue and the others weren't all advanced warriors, they might not even be able to stand firm at this moment.

“Everyone be careful, don't get washed off by the waves.” If they were washed off Yunshi's back at this moment, it would be difficult to save them.

Their eight legs tightly gripped Yunshi's back, and they lay on it, unwavering.

Siyue released a mental thought to remind them: “Everyone tie the bags tightly, don't let the Origin Force food get soaked or fall off.”

“Got it.” The Origin Force food was all placed on Siyue and Baizhi's carapaces. Danggui had to fly, so it didn't carry any Origin Force food.

No wonder the wandering merchants outside said the road was dangerous. Even if they didn't gamble on encountering the insect heart, the various natural disasters and man-made misfortunes were enough to give the merchants a hard time.

If they weren't standing on Yunshi's back today, ordinary small boats would have been shattered by the waves long ago.

“Siyue, I'll go up to the sky and see how big this rainy area is.” Danggui spread its wings, wanting to fly up.

Siyue saw it and immediately stopped it: “Danggui, it's raining, don't run around, be careful of getting struck by lightning.”

“Flying into the sky in this kind of weather will make us insects invisible, and we'll lose contact directly.”

It had heard many such things, such as a spider seeing a mist and wanting to go ahead to see what was there, only to disappear without a trace. It didn't want its caravan to encounter such a bloody thing.

In this situation, even if they acted, it would be a collective action, minimizing the risk.

In fact, although the wind and rain were a bit shaky now, and they even had trouble standing, looking a bit dangerous, Siyue wasn't too worried.

With Yunshi around, as long as it dived into the sea, the wind and rain on the upper layer of the sea wouldn't affect them at all.

It was just that it and Baizhi didn't have water-type talents, so it wasn't that convenient in the water. Therefore, unless necessary, they didn't want to enter the water.

Yunshi: “Siyue, do you need me to condense a water curtain to isolate you from the seawater?”

Siyue: “No need, we don't know how long this rain will last, save your energy!”

Yunshi: “I'll speed up and take you out of this storm area.”

“Okay,” This time, Siyue didn't refuse.

Even though they were being hit by wave after wave, they were as steady as Mount Tai. As long as the silk bags weren't damaged, what did a little wind and rain matter?

If they hadn't brought the glass cups made by Duze Flame Spider imitating the creations of extraterrestrial civilizations, they would have wanted to drink a glass of juice in the midst of the storm.

Even so, Baizhi immediately flipped out a few coconuts from its carapace, held them up with its two front legs, gathered wood-type Origin Power on its middle legs, directly cut a hole in the coconuts, and then handed one each to Siyue and Danggui.

Baizhi took the lead in taking a delicious sip of coconut juice, and said with emotion: “Drinking fruit juice in the midst of a storm, this feeling is really great!”

“Great, great.” Danggui stretched out its mouthparts to suck the juice from the coconut, and also agreed repeatedly.

“It's just that there's seawater and rainwater mixed in, it feels like the taste has changed a bit.” Siyue held the coconut. It was raining in the sky, and waves were hitting from time to time, and seawater inevitably fell into the coconut, so it felt a bit strange when it drank it.

Baizhi didn't care about this: “It's good as long as it's delicious.”

The three insects drank fruit juice, while Yunshi desperately hurried on, even using Origin Power to move forward.

Yunshi used its mental power to send a message to the three insects: “Siyue, why do I feel a sense of danger coming in the dark?”

“Danger?” The three insects, who were originally happily drinking coconut juice in the rain, immediately stopped drinking when they heard Yunshi's words.

Baizhi looked around, and then looked at the sky: “Where's the danger coming from? Is it from the sea? Or from the sky?”

Danggui: “Could it be that there are Origin Force warriors who have malice towards us?”

Siyue also sensed carefully. Its perception was more acute than ordinary insects, but it didn't notice much. However, Yunshi noticed it first, which was very strange: “Yunshi, where do you feel the danger? The sky?”

Yunshi denied: “No, it's from the sea, it's as if something terrible is being bred.”

“From the sea?” Siyue frowned. Yunshi was the cub of a sea overlord. The sea was its domain. In the sea, even Siyue's sixth sense was not as acute as its.

Yunshi sensed danger, could it be that there really were some terrible Origin Force warriors watching them? Planning to attack them during the storm?

If that were the case, then it would be a bit strange. Yunshi was a blue whale warrior, what kind of sea creatures were its match?

Even if it hadn't fully grown up yet, ordinary Mountain Lord-level warriors couldn't do anything to it. Even Lord-level warriors would have to occupy the aerial advantage before they could fight it.

However, if there really were Origin Force warriors who thought they could attack them, then they would be completely wrong. Siyue, who possessed the Myriad Insect Pearl, wouldn't be afraid even if it faced the Insect King directly.

At this time, Danggui said: “Siyue, why don't you blow the Sea God Horn and see if there's any danger around?”

“Alright.” Siyue took off the Sea God Horn on its carapace. The current Sea God Horn was just right for Siyue. If it grew a bit bigger, for example, if it reached the Mountain Lord level, it might be a bit small to use.

However, none of this was important. The most important thing was the practicality of the Sea God Horn.

In the air, the Sea God Horn's mental power could spread very far. In the sea, the spread range was even more remote, far exceeding the spread range of ordinary sounds.

Siyue blew the Sea God Horn, and an invisible mental thought spread around with the Sea God Horn as the center, and fed back the scene under the water to Siyue.

The mental thoughts of insect warriors are similar to the radars of extraterrestrial civilization creations, or rather, their mental thoughts are similar to radars, both are a type of invisible sound waves.

When they release their mental thoughts, the mental thoughts will feed back the images of the outside world to the Origin Force warriors after contacting objects in the outside world. This is also the reason why their mental power can scan the surroundings at once.

At the same time, this is also the reason why their efficiency in finding God-given seeds is usually low. If their mental power is not acute, even if they scan the God-given seeds, without sensing the Origin Force fluctuations on them, they will still only think that it is an ordinary fruit.

Only insects like Siyue, who are born with acute mental power, can perceive that little bit of difference.

After Siyue was promoted to an advanced warrior, the range of mental power spread reached more than a hundred meters. At this moment, with the blessing of the Sea God Horn, and in the seawater, the range of mental power was expanded by twenty or thirty times or more.

After Siyue's mental power was amplified by the Sea God Horn, it spread around little by little. It sensed that

Although the sea was covered in dark clouds at this time, with fierce winds and torrential rain, all the creatures below two meters underwater lived as usual, unaffected by the surface weather.

Yun Shi's massive tail swayed, occasionally stirring up small whirlpools, and small fish that passed by were caught in the vortex, spinning around a few times before dizzily escaping.

Schools of fish swam freely, crabs snapped their large pincers on sea cucumbers, and seaweed swayed left and right with the current. Everything seemed so peaceful and harmonious, making it impossible to perceive the danger Yun Shi spoke of.

Si Ye searched one area after another and reported, "Everything is fine, Yun Shi, continue forward."

"Alright," Yun Shi suppressed the unease in its heart and prepared to move on.

"Wait," Si Ye suddenly called out to Yun Shi, its expression changing dramatically, "Yun Shi, turn left, accelerate!"

"Left?" Yun Shi didn't ask why. It trusted Si Ye completely. With a flick of its massive tail, it swam frantically.

"Si Ye, what's wrong?" Bai Zhi and Dang Gui were worried, unsure of what was happening.

Si Ye said with a complex expression, "You'll know soon enough."

???

The two insects were completely bewildered.

Si Ye said, "Yun Shi, accelerate and leave this area."

Just when it thought everything was fine, a sand dune on the seabed suddenly began to shake, collapsing and forming a whirlpool that continued to expand, sucking in countless seawater and fish.

If Yun Shi had been swimming slower, perhaps even they would have been drawn into the vortex.

Compared to the vortex's diameter of several hundred meters, Yun Shi's body of a dozen meters was indeed insignificant. Even if they dragged Lord Longxu over to fill the hole, it might not be enough.

Si Ye continued to observe the surrounding environment, and before it could explain, it said to Yun Shi again, "Yun Shi, avoid the route on the right, continue turning left."

"Okay!" Yun Shi obediently followed the direction Si Ye indicated.

At this moment, Dang Gui and Bai Zhi, who had been observing the surroundings, also saw the enormous whirlpool gradually forming behind them on the sea surface.

They were both shocked and frightened, "Si Ye, what is that? How could such a large whirlpool suddenly appear in the sea?"

Si Ye said, "It's probably a tectonic movement causing a change in the underground volcano. The seabed volcano has collapsed, and there's probably a hollow space or magma below. Seawater is constantly pouring in, forming a whirlpool on the surface."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but say, "This is too unlucky. How could we encounter something like this?"

Dang Gui: "And it's raining so hard. If I had known, I would have stayed in Yinmei Continent for a few more days!"

Si Ye ended the conversation: "Alright, stop talking and let Yun Shi concentrate on the journey!"

"Okay!" Although they agreed, Dang Gui and Bai Zhi couldn't help but look back frequently.

They saw that as time passed, instead of just one huge whirlpool on the sea surface, they were constantly emerging one after another.

These whirlpools were of varying sizes, the smaller ones only a dozen meters across, the larger ones several hundred meters, creating an extremely terrifying spectacle.

From time to time, thunderous sounds emanated from the seabed, making the scene extremely frightening.

"This sea area is too terrifying!" Seeing the scene behind them of whirlpools forming one after another, grinding all the marine life into powder, Si Ye and the others wished their parents had given them a few more legs.

"Run, run!" Bai Zhi and the others kept urging Yun Shi.

"Back to the kingdom, quickly back to the kingdom, it's too dangerous outside." The insects were genuinely frightened. Where had they ever seen such a scene before?

In the past, they were protected by the lords within the kingdom. The typhoons of the past few years were already the most serious and terrifying events they had ever witnessed, let alone something as illogical as this today?

Si Ye, however, said, "There's no need to immediately run back to the kingdom. Let's hide outside this area and wait. There might be unexpected gains!"

Bai Zhi and Dang Gui were puzzled, "What unexpected gains could there be?"

Yun Shi was also puzzled, why not run quickly now, what were they staying here for?

Si Ye said, "First escape this area, and I'll tell you later."

The area affected by the tectonic movement was very large. Whirlpools were forming throughout the region, some behind Si Ye and the others, some in front of them. With whirlpools ahead, they could only detour.

They spent more than two hours, until Yun Shi was exhausted, to escape the area where the whirlpools were appearing.

It was still raining in the sky. Si Ye and the others couldn't care less. After Yun Shi found an island,

they moved to the island to rest.

Today was a day of strong winds, heavy rain, and giant whirlpools. Although Bai Zhi and the others didn't have to work themselves, they were still terrified on Yun Shi's back, worried to death.

Yun Shi was the most exhausted on this journey. After carrying the three insects to the island, it immediately dived into the water to rest.

After Bai Zhi and Dang Gui ate some Origin Power food and recovered some energy, they began to question Si Ye.

"Si Ye, you said there might be unexpected gains here, what are you referring to?"

Si Ye said, "When a volcano erupts, it leaves behind some useful and valuable minerals. The reason for the formation of these seabed whirlpools is probably the eruption of a submarine volcano, with a large amount of magma and seawater dissolving, forming rising mist that lingers for a long time.

But this is only temporary. Once the volcano calms down, this mist will dissipate, revealing the valuable minerals inside.

Some minerals also possess Origin Power, and their prices are extremely high."

Bai Zhi and Dang Gui became very interested, "Si Ye, you've read more books, do you know what Origin Power treasures these volcanoes can produce?"

"There are many, such as amethyst, sapphire, ruby, and so on.

There are also some that can increase the evolutionary potential of insect warriors, and increase vitality."

"I've also heard that some insect warriors went to volcanoes after they went dormant and found treasures that could prolong life+"

"There are such treasures too?" The two insect warriors rubbed their fists and paws, becoming very excited, hoping that the rain would stop soon, and that the whirlpools on the sea surface would disappear, so they could go and search to see if there really were special Origin Power treasures.

Then Si Ye and the others waited on the island for a full three days, waiting for the rain to stop, waiting for the whirlpools on the sea to disappear,

they could finally start to act.

"Hopefully, as Si Ye said, there really are treasures." The three insects rode Yun Shi and returned to this sea area, eager to try under the sea surface.
