Natural God's Gift

“Stag Beetle Trade Caravan.” Needless to say, the two Mantis Lords knew exactly what they were there for as soon as they heard it.

If it had been before this, the two Mantis Lords might have hesitated about whether to leave a share of the divine-grade Golden Luan Fruit for the Stag Beetle Trade Caravan.

But now, seeing Siyue displaying seven elemental abilities and gazing at the seven elemental energies around it, the two Mantis Lords fell silent.

According to what they knew from searching their inherited memories, the Original Flame Spider to which Siyue belonged only had the Wood element as its innate talent.

This meant that the other six elemental talents were obtained through other means.

How were they obtained? By consuming divine-grade fruits that granted elemental talents?

Could it be that the Flame Spider Kingdom possessed at least six divine-grade fruits that granted elemental talents?

If that were the case, wouldn't their financial resources be too terrifying?

Moreover, seeing that this Mountain Master named Siyue was only in its fourth instar, according to the rule that only Mountain Master-level beings could consume divine-grade fruits, and only one fruit could be consumed per instar,

even if they had six elemental divine-grade fruits, they could only have consumed four by now, right? How did it awaken seven elemental talents?

It couldn't be that there were divine-grade fruits that simultaneously granted multiple elemental talents, right?

If the talents weren't awakened by consuming divine-grade fruits, wouldn't that mean the Flame Spider Kingdom had a special way to awaken elemental talents?

That was even more terrifying than possessing divine-grade fruits with seven elemental abilities, because with divine-grade fruits with seven elemental abilities, they could clearly understand the lineage.

But if other methods were used to awaken elemental talents, who knew how they were awakened? What was the probability of awakening? How many Flame Spider warriors could be awakened?

Regardless of the situation, it was quite shocking to their Mantis Tribe.

Even the status between the two had transformed imperceptibly.

Originally, the Mantis Tribe held the divine-grade God-given Seed, and whoever wanted to trade for divine-grade fruits, whether you were a Flame Spider merchant or a Stag Beetle warrior, or a Zerg warrior from another tribe, had to look at their faces when they came.

And the Flame Spider merchants and Stag Beetle Trade Caravans did indeed start competing with each other as they had expected.

The Flame Spider merchants even directly returned to the kingdom to bring a divine-grade fruit to seek a trade.

Although they didn't say it out loud, they were still somewhat complacent in their hearts, 'See, our divine-grade fruits are very popular.'

But now, when they thought their tribe was wealthy enough, the Tongquan Lord told them that there were even more precious divine-grade fruits, and that even one or two batches of their divine-grade God-given Seeds wouldn't be enough to buy one.

At the same time, Siyue immediately displayed its seven elemental talents, confirming that this was not a lie.

It was equivalent to saying that you thought you were the top tribe in the Star Realm, but you had only just crossed the threshold.

Previously, when they sold their divine-grade fruits, they could only trade for some God-given Origin Power food, but now there was hope to trade for various divine-grade fruits. Which was more precious was self-evident.

At this time, Siyue also withdrew its Origin Power. When it and the Tongquan Lord heard that the Stag Beetle Trade Caravan had arrived, they didn't act as if they were facing a formidable enemy as imagined, but instead stood casually to the side, wanting to see how the two Mantis Lords would deal with the Stag Beetle Trade Caravan.

The Mantis Lords glanced at Siyue and the others with slight embarrassment, wanting them to avoid it, but seeing that they were indifferent and looked like they were staying here to watch the show, they didn't know what to say.

“Go and invite them over.” Since the Flame Spider merchants didn't care, then they cared even less.

“Okay!” The advanced Mantis warrior spread its wings and jumped, leaving this place in an instant.

Siyue and the Tongquan Lord just stood on the mountain and watched, seeing a few giant beetles being led by a Mantis warrior towards the mountain, and a few others diverging in their tribe's plaza, leaving only two giant beetles traversing the mountain road.

Before long, they saw a Mountain Master-level Mantis warrior leading two giant beetles up the mountain.

The stag beetle, also known as the Dichotomous Rhinoceros Beetle, possesses the potential for Strength, Earth, and Metal elemental talents. After it advances to the Mountain Master level, it will permanently awaken the Strength elemental talent and can also randomly awaken the Earth or Metal elemental talent, making it a rare Zerg warrior capable of awakening two elemental talents simultaneously.

They were truly enormous, reaching nearly five meters in length. Their entire bodies were dark and shiny, and the sky-piercing halberd on their foreheads accounted for a quarter of their entire body's length, making them appear extremely lethal and mighty.

Moreover, the silk bags on their backs were piled up like mountains, leaving Siyue and the others speechless.

You should know that the number of Origin Power food items that Zerg warriors can carry on their backs is limited. Their Flame Spider merchants carry Origin Power food according to their stage. Below the Mountain Master level, it goes without saying.

Most Mountain Master-level Flame Spider merchants carry ordinary Origin Power food produced in the territories of advanced or Mountain Master-level Zerg warriors, plus a small amount of God-given Origin Power food as a supplement. Having 100,000-300,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power food on their backs is enough for them to open a trade route and travel.

This is because their Zerg network relationships are limited. Even if they have very good goods, it is difficult to find buyers to sell them.

If the quality of the goods is too poor, it will waste the carrying space on their backs, so some low-end Origin Power food items are sold by the spiders below.

Lord-level beings specialize in running to some large tribes. Their backs mostly carry Lord-level or King-level Origin Power food, and the more God-given Origin Power food, the better.

By the time they reach the King level, they basically carry King-level Origin Power food, or some special Origin Power food among the Lord-level ones, such as Sea Soul Fir seeds.

Some wealthy King-level Flame Spider merchants even only trade in God-given Origin Power food and only care about divine-grade fruits.

After all, you can't expect the Spider King to do business with elementary, middle, and high-level small warriors, right?

Everyone wants to earn more Origin Stones, but maximizing profits is the most important thing.

Although this was the case during the Flame Spider Kingdom's peak, they currently don't carry everything in large and small packages like the Stag Beetle Trade Caravan.

Even if stag beetles are naturally endowed with the Strength element and can carry dozens of times their weight in goods, their energy is always limited, right? Can they complete so many transactions?

The Flame Spider merchants originally looked down on these miscellaneous and pieced-together trade caravans, but now they only feel that they look down on them even more.

“Fragrant Pear Lord, Bitter Pear Lord.” As usual, the two Stag Beetle warriors greeted the Mantis Lords as soon as they arrived.

After greeting the two Mantis Lords, they stared intently at Siyue and the others.

Originally, they were about to reach a deal with the Mantis Tribe for divine-grade fruits, but the Flame Spider merchants ran over and interfered, causing them to not have completed the transaction for divine-grade fruits yet.

They came now because they received the news that the Flame Spider merchants had returned to the Mantis Tribe. They rushed over, but were they too late? Could it be that the Fragrant Pear Lord and the others had already reached an agreement with the Flame Spider merchants?

“Qiuying Lord, Shanjiao Lord.” The two large beetles were named Qiuying and Shanjiao, respectively.

The large beetles looked at Siyue and the others warily: "You two, we have something to discuss with the Fragrant Pear Lord. Can you please step aside for a moment?"

The Tongquan Lord and Siyue looked at each other.

The Tongquan Lord said to the two Mantis Lords: "You two have already seen the strength of our kingdom. I can promise here that whatever you want, as long as the Star Realm has it, we can trade for it and deliver it into your claws."

Siyue also said: "When trading with our kingdom, you only need to consider whether you have enough Origin Stones. We can solve everything else."

“Since the transaction has been completed, we will come back when the divine-grade fruits are ripe in a few years.”

After saying these words that were quite provocative to the Stag Beetle Trade Caravan, they left indifferently, anyway, they had already reserved the next batch of three divine-grade fruits.

A batch of Golden Luan Fruits only produces seven fruits in total. They didn't believe that in this situation, the Fragrant Pear Lord would be willing to give a share of the divine-grade fruits to the Stag Beetle Trade Caravan.

If it were a fellow tribe's trade caravan, the Tongquan Lord would consider the relationship and see if they would appropriately give a divine-grade fruit to the other party.

But for trade caravans not belonging to their Flame Spider Kingdom, it wished it could just pin them down and crush them right then and there.

It wouldn't leave any chance for the Rhinoceros Beetle caravan. Even if Pear Orchard Lord was willing to spare an extra Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruit for them, it would find a way to buy it.

If it were willing to sell seven Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruits, it could represent the Flame Spider Kingdom and buy all seven Divine-grade fruits together.

Their competition with the Rhinoceros Beetle caravan wasn't just simple business competition, but also competition between races.

Only when one side gave up on this business could it stop.

Flame Spider Merchants didn't really care too much about this type of caravan.

In the early stages of the Force Reincarnation, their Flame Spider Kingdom didn't have enough Force Warriors, so it was easy for similar caravans to appear.

After all, they also had to evolve. It wasn't possible to say that they would just stay home and wait to die after losing the Flame Spiders.

Their appearance would compete with the Flame Spider Merchants in the market.

But once the number of Flame Spider Merchants increased, it would be difficult for them to compete with the Flame Spider caravans. After all, how could an amateur compete with a professional?

As for saying that they didn't care, why did they restrict the other party in every way? It could only be said that the best way was to eliminate danger in the bud.

As soon as Spring Meadow Lord and Four Leaf left, Autumn Glory Lord couldn't wait to say, "Pear Orchard Lord, how many Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruits did the Flame Spider Merchants trade for? You should be able to spare one for our caravan, right?"

In fact, Autumn Glory Lord also knew that his caravan couldn't compete with the Flame Spider Merchants. After all, the Flame Spider Merchants had a natural True God as a guarantor, and the wandering merchant trade was engraved in the race's inherited memories of the insect warriors.

It was just thinking that since it had come first, it wouldn't ask for too much. It should be able to get some soup, right?

Pear Orchard Lord smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Autumn Glory Lord, the Flame Spider Merchants offered benefits that we couldn't refuse, and reserved the Golden Luan Fruits we had set aside. There may not be any of the next batch of Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruits. Why don't you wait for the batch after that?"

Originally, their tribe had reserved two Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruits in the next batch, preparing to trade one for each caravan. Who would have thought that the Flame Spider Merchants would be able to directly offer two kinds of Divine-grade fruits.

Now, let alone spare one for another caravan, even the Divine-grade fruits originally prepared for the other Mountain Lords of the tribe now have to spare one to trade with the Flame Spider Merchants.

"There aren't any left?" Autumn Glory Lord was a little dazed and a little annoyed, but it didn't know whether it was annoyed that the Mantis Tribe didn't keep its word, or that the Flame Spider Merchants were too overbearing.

Pear Orchard Lord smiled and said, "Next batch, I will definitely give you one in the next batch. To show my sincerity, how about selling half of this year's Pear Orchard God-given seeds to you?"

Mountain Leek Lord couldn't help but say, "Pear Orchard Lord, Bitter Pear Lord, what kind of irresistible conditions did the Flame Spider Merchants offer you?"

The conditions they offered the Mantis Tribe were to buy a Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruit for 1.1 million, and reselling it at this price would not make any money.

Indeed, if they were willing to spend time, they could indeed find insect warriors who offered high prices.

However, Divine-grade fruits are not resistant to storage. If they spend too long looking for buyers, and the Divine-grade fruits rot from being stored for too long,

then it would be too much of a loss. They bought them back to eat themselves.

They believed that the conditions they offered were already generous enough. Could the Flame Spider Merchants offer an even better price?

The Flame Spider Merchants are not like the insect warriors of the Golden Tortoise Kingdom, who can produce Force food themselves. Would they do business that doesn't make money?

So before this, they were quite confident that they could get a Divine-grade fruit.

The two Mantis Lords didn't want to say it originally, but considering that they had decades of friendship, they decided to reveal some information.

Pear Orchard Lord said with some emotion: "The Flame Spider Merchants are too rich. They used two different kinds of Divine-grade fruits to exchange for three of our Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruits. Both of those Divine-grade fruits are what we desperately need, so we agreed to their conditions."

Autumn Glory Lord and the others used the price of 1.1 million Force Stones to buy Divine-grade fruits, which was certainly tempting to them, but compared to Divine-grade fruits, it was nothing.

Force Stones can be obtained at any time, but if you miss the Divine-grade fruits, you may not encounter them again for decades or even hundreds of years in the future.

Autumn Glory Lord's compound eyes rolled, suspecting that the Flame Spider Merchants were deceiving the Mantis Lords: "Divine-grade fruits? Did they bring the things over for you to see with your own eyes? How could they be so coincidental? They just happened to find Divine-grade fruits suitable for you?"

Bitter Pear Lord shook its antennae: "They didn't bring the Divine-grade fruits over, but they used a method that made us unquestionable to verify it, and we have already discussed with the other party and reached a Divine-grade fruit exchange agreement."

They would not say that Spring Well Lord brought the Divine-grade fruits over.

Otherwise, if the Rhinoceros Beetle caravan had any crooked thoughts, wouldn't that also implicate their Mantis Tribe?

In fact, the Mantis Tribe was overthinking it. More than ten years ago, the Flame Spider Kingdom sent troops to kill Force Warriors who robbed Flame Spider Merchants. This matter caused an uproar on the Fang Clan Continent. Now those insect heads are still hanging at the Star Navigation entrance.

Now, not many insects are so bold as to dare to rob Flame Spider Merchants.

"They even reached a Divine-grade fruit trading agreement?" The two Rhinoceros Beetle Lords listened in stunned silence. At the same time, their huge bodies, which could move mountains and build rocks, inexplicably gave birth to a sense of powerlessness.

Although their kingdom wanted to seize food from the Flame Spider Merchants' mouths, compared to the strength of the Flame Spider Merchants, their wealth and power, which they were proud of, seemed to be nothing.

Their kingdom was very lucky to form a tribe in the Land of Force and obtain many God-given seeds when the Fang Clan's Force Reincarnation had not fully recovered.

But so far, there are still no Divine-grade God-given seeds. Where did the Flame Spider Merchants get such a deep foundation? They fell into deep doubt.

After Four Leaf and Spring Well Lord and the others completed their mission and came down from the mountain, they directly prepared to leave.

Spring Well Lord handed the God-Forbidden Box containing the Divine-grade fruits to Four Leaf. It was going to continue wandering with the caravan, while Four Leaf was going to bring the Divine-grade fruits back to the kingdom.

Four Leaf bid farewell to the Spring Well caravan: "Then Spring Well Lord, I will go back first. Remember to leave a Divine-grade Golden Luan Fruit for me when the time comes."

"It should be." Although borrowing Divine-grade fruits from the kingdom requires paying costs and interest, as long as the transaction can continue to extend, it will be able to recover its costs in a few years.

You must know that they can buy Divine-grade fruits with Force Stones in the kingdom. Outside, don't even think about such a thing.

Now it can buy Golden Flow Fruit from the kingdom for 800,000 Force Stones, and then trade Golden Luan Fruit with Golden Flow Fruit plus 100,000 Force Stones worth of God-given Force food.

It is equivalent to saying that it has mastered two kinds of Divine-grade fruits at once, and it can easily resell Divine-grade fruits at a price increase of 30% - 50%.

Anyway, they have the God-Forbidden Box, so they are not afraid that the Divine-grade fruits will rot if they are stored for too long. They have enough time to inquire about buyers who need them.

In this way, it means that in the future, the transaction quota of this Divine-grade fruit can directly become their lineage's Force Stone manufacturing machine, which makes the entire Spring Well caravan overjoyed.

Four Leaf was not too happy. It was just an ordinary Divine-grade fruit. It didn't have a transaction quota, and eating it would only increase one ability. What it lacked the least now was ability.

It re-boarded the ice boat and quietly returned to the kingdom along the river, without alarming any insects.
