#297 - The God-given seeds of water chestnuts found in the territory

All the remains of the God-given Seeds were transported back to the Flame Spider Kingdom.
Returning to the Fang Clan Continent, transportation became much easier. The bionic orca pulled the God-given Seed remains, half-floating and half-submerged in the water, traveling for several days before reaching the kingdom.
The bionic orca docked at Skytop Reef. Its tail was tied with a giant rope made of spider silk, dragging behind it the neatly stacked God-given Seed remains, resembling a mountain in volume.
Lord Qingfeng and the others had already prepared for the reception. They sent the Fragrant Nectar Bee Queen and the Yellow Fruit Ant King to directly lead their respective bee and ant colonies to transport the God-given Seed remains.
Lord Qingfeng held an instrument to scan the quantity and total volume of the God-given Seed remains.
Because the types of God-given Seeds were different, their weights also varied. In this case, only the total volume could be calculated.
The instrument's light shone on the 'giant mountain' floating on the sea surface, and whether it was the part on the surface or the vast volume submerged below, it was all displayed on the instrument's screen.
Soon, the instrument scanned and calculated the total volume of the God-given Seed remains. Lord Qingfeng mentally read out the data on the instrument: "The total volume of the God-given Seed remains is 5,164,597 cubic meters."
"Huh? That much?" Not only Lord Qingfeng and the others, but even Lord Ginkgo and Four-Leaf, who had personally transported the God-given Seed remains, were somewhat surprised by this volume. They originally thought it would be about four million cubic meters, close to five million, but they didn't expect their estimate to be low.
But thinking about it carefully, they had transported more than a thousand God-given Seed remains, so five million cubic meters wasn't particularly large.
It should be known that some God-given Seeds have enormous volumes. Take the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed as an example. In its initial stage, it has 12 branches, and in the intermediate stage, it has another 12 branches based on these 12 branches. It grows in a step-by-step manner, and after reaching the King level, it has more than three hundred branches.
A single bamboo of the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed has a volume of hundreds of cubic meters. Even after removing the hollow part, it still has a volume of ten or twenty cubic meters. Three hundred bamboo poles add up to tens of millions of cubic meters.
Of course, this is a special case. One Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed is equivalent to thousands of ordinary God-given Seeds. This is an extremely rare existence, and there are only a few plant species in the entire Star Realm that can compare to it.
With so many God-given Seed remains, they weren't all stored in the warehouse at once. The original Flame Spider warriors in the kingdom were all given some to add nutrition to their Life Seeds.
Even the beginner Flame Spider warriors were given a God-given Seed remain as a kingdom benefit.
As for those Mountain Lord-level original Flame Spider warriors, they basically all had a God-given Seed purchased with a loan from the kingdom as their Life Seed, and they each received three to five cubic meters of God-given Seed remains according to the required amount.
Four-Leaf had the greatest demand. After all, it had many God-given Life Seeds, and the most important thing was that the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed was a big consumer of nutrients. Too little was like sprinkling water on it.
Lord Ginkgo directly gave it two hundred cubic meters of God-given Seed remains, and they were the remains of large trees.
This year, Angelica went to Yinmei Continent for trade alone with Yunshi, and hasn't returned yet.
Mugwort led its bee colony to move all the God-given Seed remains distributed to Four-Leaf to the initial territory.
Seeing the pile of God-given Seed remains, Mugwort was a little distressed: "So much wood, do we need to dig a cellar to store it?"
Insect warriors of the carapace family that feed on wood can crush the trees and then fertilize, but spiders do not have this ability.
Theoretically, bees can also crush wood and then make it into fertilizer.
But here there are two hundred cubic meters of wood, and they are God-given Seed remains whose quality is much harder than ordinary wood. I'm afraid Mugwort and its bee colony would break their mouthparts before they could chew it all up.
Four-Leaf: "No need. Xiaoji should have a shredder there. Rent one and grind the wood into powder to directly fertilize the God-given Seeds."
"That might work." Fortunately, there are many auxiliary alien civilization creations in the kingdom. Otherwise, relying solely on its bee colony, it would be exhausted and unable to complete so much work.
The Lucky Clover God-given Seed sensed their conversation mentally and swayed its branches: "Get me some God-given Seed remains. I want to see if it's as magical as you say."
"Try it." Four-Leaf had never used this kind of thing on God-given Seeds before, and was also curious.
Lord Ginkgo gave it two hundred cubic meters of God-given Seed remains, of which 100 cubic meters were Cotton Date God-given Seed remains, and the other hundred cubic meters were a mutated bamboo God-given Seed remain.
It is said that using the same kind of God-given Seed remains to fertilize the God-given Seed will have a better effect.
Lord Ginkgo also thought that Four-Leaf had Sea Date Tree God-given Seed and Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed, so he gave it the remains of these two God-given Seeds.
It took a meter-long piece of wood and found a saw that Angelica and the others used for work, and sawed the wood into powder little by little.
In fact, burying the entire piece of wood under the tree also has an effect, but for the God-given Seed, it is digested more slowly, and it may take a year or two to completely absorb the nutrients in the God-given Seed remains.
It buried all the sawdust under the Lucky Clover God-given Seed tree, and then watered it: "Let's try this first to see if it works. If it doesn't, then wait for the shredder to shred all the God-given Seed remains before fertilizing for a while."
Seeing that Four-Leaf had satisfied its wish, Lucky Clover rarely didn't make a fuss: "Are you going out this year?"
"I'll see then." It felt that Lord Ginkgo was quite anxious. There were indeed many Origin Power Lands on Dragon Bamboo Continent. It didn't know if Lord Ginkgo had checked the kingdom's historical records and found out anything.
There was one more thing it had forgotten to ask. Angelica used that time-release ability on the Ginkgo God-given Seed back then. Now that so much time has passed, it didn't know if the effect was obvious?
Thinking of this, it wanted to go to Lord Yinyin to ask, but Lord Yinyin was still busy storing all the God-given Seed remains in the kingdom's warehouse, and it probably wouldn't be finished so quickly, so it wasn't good to disturb it now.
Forget it. Anyway, it has a lifespan of more than two hundred years after being promoted to Mountain Lord level. Now it has only lived one-tenth of its age, and there is plenty of time to toss around, so there is no need to rush at this moment.
"Mugwort, transfer those hundred cubic meters of bamboo God-given Seed remains to the Dragon Bamboo Plain. This can be buried under the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed." Anyway, the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed is still small, and the nutrients are just enough for the Dragon Bamboo God-given Seed to absorb as the God-given Seed remains rot under the tree.
It ran to find Boss Xiaoji to rent a shredder.
Lord Ginkgo had also found a similar shredder in the Lijing Beetle Kingdom before, but the one it found seemed to have slightly different functions from the shredder in the kingdom.
The shredder in the kingdom can grind wood into powder, which is suitable for processing waste into fertilizer. The shredder that Lord Ginkgo found can grind wood and meat into small particles the size of rice grains, which is suitable as a machine for feeding ordinary insects.
Arriving at Little Thistle Boss's place, it didn't expect that it wasn't the only spider with the same idea. Everyone wanted to grind the remnants of the God-Given Seed they obtained into powder to fertilize their Life Seed. Little Thistle Boss's three pulverizers were spinning wildly, so busy they couldn't keep up.
Seeing this, Fourleaf could only leave the remnants of the God-Given Seed to Artemisia, so it could bring it over for pulverizing when the time came.
With nothing to do, it went to the Kingdom Abyss to get a bottle of Lightning Fluid from Lord Green Maple, preparing to first increase its Lightning Talent potential. This way, after advancing to the Second Stage Mountain Lord, it could awaken all seven of its talents.
Inside the Kingdom's Secret Vault, Lord Green Maple took out a Lightning-type God-Rank Fruit and handed it to Fourleaf, saying, "God-Given things are relatively rare and can be left for future spiders to eat.
You are already a Mountain Lord, capable of eating God-Rank Fruits. Take this Rumble Fruit and eat it!"
"Rumble Fruit?" Fourleaf took the melon-sized fruit, its surface covered with lightning-shaped Origin Power patterns, and curiously looked it over.
Lord Green Maple chuckled and said, "This God-Rank Fruit not only grants Lightning Talent but also permanently awakens a Lightning Strike ability. It's just that because the Lightning element is full of aggressiveness, the price is relatively cheap."
"Lightning Talent granting, worth 3.6 million Origin Stones; Lightning Strike ability, worth 1 million Origin Stones. The Kingdom has to purchase this fruit for 4.6 million Origin Stones."
Fourleaf put the Rumble Fruit into the God-Forbidden Box and into its silk pouch, saving it to eat when it was ready for promotion. It had no objections to the God-Given thing becoming a God-Rank Fruit, as long as the result was the same.
Because the Lightning element was full of aggressiveness, it was not favored by the insect race warriors who mainly managed territories.
Mainly because the range of use was too small. You can't possibly manage a territory and use lightning abilities to reclaim wasteland, right?
It's not to say that lightning abilities are completely useless. It still depends on how the user uses them. In the previous generation, there was a Spider King who, after obtaining Lightning Talent, awakened the Lightning Flash ability. It used this ability for traveling, covering several kilometers in an instant.
Relying on its super-fast speed, it could travel to more places than other spiders. Their lineage of spiders became one of the most powerful merchant groups of that period.
After obtaining the God-Rank Rumble Fruit from the Abyss and exchanging it for many Lightning-type God-Given Origin Power foods, Fourleaf happily returned to Twin Peaks.
It didn't laze around after returning. Originally, at the beginning of the year, it wanted to ask Angelica to have a few Watanabe Flame Spider Mountain Lords build nest chambers, but the Five Tribes of Flame Spiders only returned in winter, so the nest chambers had not been rebuilt.
It happened to be free now and could build the nest chambers itself.
It took out the nest chamber blueprints from the original simple nest chamber to examine.
The new nest chamber it wanted to build would be very large because, in addition to Angelica, it planned to have Artemisia open a branch nest here as well, dividing a swarm of bees to manage the territory here.
According to the plan on the blueprints, the new nest chamber should have three entrances: upper, middle, and lower.
The upper entrance would be used by Artemisia and its bee swarm for daily entry and exit. The middle entrance would be for Angelica, and the lower entrance would be for it and the Flame Spider warriors, which would better suit everyone's living habits.
With three entrances, it would also need to open three main nest chambers with an area of over 50 square meters, one for each of the three insects.
In addition to the main nest chambers, there would also be warehouses for storing seeds and Origin Power food, a dining hall for regular meals, a kitchen for processing prey, and guest rooms for the Flame Spider warriors working in Fourleaf's territory.
Adding up all kinds of rooms, the total volume that needed to be excavated and opened up reached five cubic meters.
With such a large workload, Fourleaf certainly couldn't handle it all at once, but it would do as much as it could.
Fourleaf decided to first open up its own nest chamber and then start humming as it excavated the nest chamber inside the mountain.
It had several abilities related to the Earth element: Swamp Submergence, which could liquefy most of the soil; Soil and Stone Solidification, if the topsoil was too loose; and Magma Wrath, which directly turned mountain rocks into magma.
It could be said without exaggeration that one spider excavating a nest chamber was equivalent to three or four Mountain Lords working together.
"Mountain Lord Fourleaf, Mountain Lord Fourleaf—"
Just as Fourleaf was diligently excavating the nest chamber, a Rainbow Flame Spider warrior working at the foot of the mountain came up to find it.
"What's wrong?" Fourleaf, with a face full of dirt, walked out of the nest chamber, using its Water element ability to control the water flow and wash itself clean.
It now employed thirty Intermediate Flame Spider warriors, all commanded by Angelica. Their main job was to clear weeds and trees in the territory, dredge rivers, and raise pigs and fish as a food source.
In fact, it was more to share some of the Kingdom's pressure and give the warriors a job to earn Origin Stones, otherwise, when they advanced to the Mountain Lord level, they could easily do more work in a day than thirty Flame Spider warriors could.
The Flame Spider warrior said excitedly, "Mountain Lord Fourleaf, is there a reward for us finding a God-Given Seed in your territory?"
"What?" Fourleaf's spirits lifted: "You found a God-Given Seed? What kind of God-Given Seed is it? Durian? Banana?"
"It's a Water Chestnut God-Given Seed, found in a pond we manage. Mountain Lord Fourleaf, is there a reward?"
"Water Chestnut! Take me to see it. If it's real, I will definitely reward you greatly." Although it wasn't a God-Given Seed of the two top-level plant species that Fourleaf specifically cultivated, as long as it was a God-Given Seed, it was valuable.
Having one was satisfying enough; it wasn't picky.
Fourleaf stretched out a spider leg and let the warrior climb onto its back, guiding it to the location where the God-Given Seed was discovered.
"When we were normally fishing here, we found a water chestnut floating on the surface of the water with slight Origin Power fluctuations. We didn't dare to move it and went to find you immediately."
Under the guidance of the Flame Spider warrior, Fourleaf arrived at a rather large pond in the territory.
When it arrived, many Flame Spider warriors had already gathered around the pond to watch.
When they saw the boss arrive, they scattered and returned to their jobs.
Fourleaf ignored the little spiders. It stood by the pond and could sense that there was indeed a faint Origin Power fluctuation in the pond.
A sweep of its mental power immediately located the source of the Origin Power fluctuation. It was indeed a somewhat immature water chestnut.
It's just that the plant didn't seem to be growing very well, possibly due to insufficient nutrients.
Fourleaf remembered that the water chestnuts, lotus seeds, gorgon fruits, and water hyacinths in these ponds were all scattered here by Angelica a long time ago. Over the years, they hadn't had much hope, but unexpectedly, there was actually a harvest.
Water chestnuts are aquatic plants, and their branches and leaves look similar to water hyacinths. Their fruits are about the size of peanuts.
They grow on the roots of the plant, except that peanut fruits grow in the soil, while water chestnuts grow in the water.
Moreover, water chestnut fruits are also very peculiar, with sharp points at both ends, extremely similar to bull horns.
Although water chestnuts grow in the water and look very aggressive, their effect is to strengthen the Earth element defense ability.
How to say it, the quality, effect, price, and yield are all very average. The only thing it occupies is probably the title of God-Given Seed.
