Natural God's Gift
#328 - Encountering the Awakened Little Warrior
Siyue traveled with Torch Leader to several more tribes, some large and some small. The large tribes were comparable in size to the Flame Spider Kingdom, while the small ones had only a few insects.
Torch Leader delegated the transactions with the smaller tribes to its high-level Flame Spiders, allowing them to build and maintain their insect vein relationships.
It only handled transactions with the large tribes, which took longer. By the time the high-level Flame Spiders finished with the small tribes, they could catch up, speeding up the overall merchant speed and maximizing profits.
For Siyue, it was simply a journey across the Myriad Races Continent.
It wasn't until September that they reached the territory of the Coast Water Flea tribe on the eastern coast of the Fang Tribe Continent.
The Coast Water Flea tribe was different from other insect warriors. They lived on a huge island and rarely interacted with other insect tribes. Even the Flame Spider caravans needed certain qualifications to enter their kingdom.
Siyue remembered visiting once before, but they encountered the Dragon Whisker Leader and were taken back before even entering the Coast Water Flea tribe's territory.
Walking on the beach, the ground beneath their feet was densely packed with ordinary Coast Water Fleas, probably numbering in the hundreds of millions. Anyone with trypophobia would likely faint here.
Star Realm insect tribes were like this: whenever a tribe occupied a territory, that territory would be filled with the same kind of insect.
Strictly speaking, Coast Water Fleas weren't even insects. Instead, like Flame Spiders, they belonged to the arthropod category.
They couldn't fly, but they could survive in the sea. Their appearance resembled Scythe Clan warriors, but they had 14 legs, more than twice the number of insect warriors.
They were one of the more peculiar races among the Star Realm insects. However, Siyue felt that even they weren't as strange as the Butterfly Clan. The Butterfly Clan had a dozen legs when they were young, could form cocoons and transform, and could even fly after transforming. Now that was strange.
Their Flame Spider caravan found large trees around the pier to hide from the sun.
At this time of day, the sun was very strong. Although they weren't afraid of the sun at their level, their animal instincts and habits remained unchanged. They would instinctively avoid direct sunlight.
They hid in the trees, chatting idly or sleeping silently.
Siyue could create an ice boat and sail directly to the island, but that would be tantamount to provoking the other tribe. Their caravan was here to do business, and they certainly wouldn't do something so foolish.
The Coast Water Flea tribe would send Force warriors from the island every few days to feed the ordinary Coast Water Fleas on the shore. They just needed to wait for them to come.
One of the high-level Watanabe Flame Spiders watched as the sky gradually darkened and couldn't help but say, "Torch Leader, how long do we have to wait here?"
Torch Leader half-glared at it: "What's the rush? At most five days, at least two. They will definitely send Force warriors over."
"If you don't even have this much patience, how can you trade with other insect warriors? If another insect scares you or delays you, you might reveal your trump card."
"Oh." After being reprimanded, the high-level Flame Spider became much more obedient.
The other spiders, seeing their companion being reprimanded, immediately became well-behaved and dared not cause any more trouble.
At night, everyone lay prone in the woods to sleep, preparing to replenish their energy before going to the Coast Water Flea tribe for merchant transactions.
In the middle of the night, Siyue was suddenly awakened. It had been lying prone under a tree, but suddenly felt a strange Force fluctuation. It immediately stood up on its eight legs and looked around.
"What's wrong, Siyue?"
"Mountain Lord Siyue, what's wrong?"
Torch Leader and the others were also awakened by the commotion caused by Siyue.
Siyue said: "I sensed a strange Force fluctuation appearing."
"A strange Force fluctuation?" The high-level Flame Spiders were all a little strange, looking around warily, wondering if other insect warriors were approaching?
Torch Leader used its mental power to search the nearby area, but didn't find any traces of insect warriors.
"Mountain Lord Siyue, are you mistaken? This is the territory of the Coast Water Flea tribe, how could there be other Force fluctuations?"
"Yes, yes." The other high-level Flame Spiders echoed.
It couldn't be that the Coast Water Flea tribe's insect warriors had come over in the middle of the night to peep at them, could it? That would be too outrageous.
Siyue said: "I did feel a strange Force fluctuation. Don't worry, let me search carefully."
At this moment, Torch Leader suddenly thought of something, its heart shook, and then it said with joy: "Siyue, could it be that you have found the existence of a God-given Seed again?"
"How is that possible?" Siyue was speechless after hearing Torch Leader's words. If God-given Seeds were so easy to find, they wouldn't be so precious.
Besides, it's September now, and some fruits have already begun to ripen. If there really was a God-given Seed, it would have been discovered long ago.
As Siyue said this, it also thought of another possibility. It sent out its mental power and said: "The Force fluctuation I sensed just now was very small. Everyone, search carefully. I suspect that a new little warrior has been born."
"A little warrior?" The high-level Flame Spiders exclaimed.
They looked at the dense Coast Water Fleas on the beach. Could it be that a Coast Water Flea little warrior had been born? That would be a joyous event.
The probability of an insect warrior being born is as small as that of a God-given Seed, and it can only be born through excessive probability. This is also the reason why insect warriors raise so many ordinary members of the same race.
It's just that they saw the ordinary Coast Water Fleas on the coast, covering the entire beach. They occasionally shook their bodies, creating black waves, which looked quite terrifying.
A little warrior who has just become a Force warrior is not much different in size from ordinary members of the same race. Finding a little warrior on a dense coast is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Are we going to find the little warrior?" Under the night, the moonlight shone on the sea, emitting a silvery-white light.
In contrast, the beach was covered with black Coast Water Fleas. The moonlight shone through their carapaces, reflecting a colorful black.
"Let's find it," Torch Leader said. "If we find it, we can give it to the Coast Water Flea tribe as a gift."
"Hehe, a little warrior, that should be the best gift for the tribe."
Torch Leader said: "Everyone, spread out and search slowly. Be careful not to step on the little warrior."
Siyue: "...—"
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I have the Sea God Horn. The creatures in the sea are naturally close to me. I'll try to blow the Sea God Horn and see if I can summon the little warrior over."
Hearing Siyue say this, the spiders urged: "Blow it quickly, blow it quickly."
Siyue took off the Sea God Horn hanging on its leg and concentrated its mental power to blow it.
Regarding the use of the Sea God Horn, over the years, it had been tested through shellfish farms. Ordinary sea creatures could only feel the gentle mental power emitted by the Sea God Horn, while Force warriors could understand the instructions in the mental power.
Si Ye's mental power covered the entire beach like a tide, scanning back and forth across the beach lice, searching for any special presence among them.
Furthermore, its mental power carried a gentle sense of kinship and enticement: "Little warrior, come here, I have primal force food for you to eat."
Under a rock in the reef, a small beach louse warrior that looked no different from the other beach lice was initially startled by the roaring mental power like a tidal wave, but upon feeling the strong sense of kinship in the mental power, it breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, it felt that this mental power also carried a strange effect, causing its newly promoted and still somewhat weak body to burst forth with a surge of energy.
In its newly born mental consciousness, it sensed that there was primal force food to eat, and the instinct of a primal force warrior made it quickly crawl out from under the rock and struggle to crawl towards the source of this mental power.
As it approached the Flame Spider merchants, it saw their massive, mountain-like bodies, as well as their eight legs, eight eyes, and twisted faces.
The small beach louse warrior was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Si Ye and the others also noticed this beach louse crawling towards them, mainly because it was already close to the Flame Spider merchants, and it possessed a faint primal force on its body, making it quite conspicuous under the scan of mental power in the quiet night.
"As expected, it's a newly awakened little warrior." Seeing that it was indeed as they had guessed, the Flame Spider merchants all smiled.
A high-level Flame Spider next to it took out a mid-level banana seed from a silk pouch and handed it to Si Ye.
Si Ye took the banana seed, lightly tapped the beach with its middle leg, forming a stone plate. It placed the banana seed on the plate and crushed it.
The lowest-level primal force food in the caravan was at the mid-level stage. Even so, it was still a bit too high-level for a newly evolved little warrior, and it couldn't finish it all at once.
Crushing it would make it easier for the little warrior to eat.
Si Ye beckoned to the little warrior with its front leg: "Come, eat!"
The little warrior looked at the behemoth in front of it, and although it was a little scared, it had a strange sense of closeness to the leading monster.
In addition, after the other party took out the primal force food, the primal force emanating from it caused it to have an inner desire, urging it to quickly crawl to the stone plate and devour the banana seeds.
After it was full, it raised its head to look at Si Ye and the others: "Are you my elders?"
In its inherited memories, there was an impression of elders. According to the inherited memories, after becoming a primal force warrior, the elders of the same race would protect its growth.
It's just that these behemoths in front of it didn't look like its kind!
"We are Flame Spider merchants, not your elders. We will take you to see your elders tomorrow."
"Oh, oh," the little warrior searched for inherited memories related to Flame Spider merchants, and after understanding them, it felt relieved.
"Your life sac shouldn't have conceived a life seed yet, right?"
"Life seed?" The little warrior thought, then said: "No, I just awakened."
Si Ye looked at the Torch Lord: "Torch Lord, do you have any plant seed seeds with you?"
The Torch Lord took out a small silk pouch and took out a sesame seed from it and gave it to Si Ye.
Si Ye passed it to the little warrior: "This is sesame, it can be conceived as a life seed."
This sesame seed was also a carefully cultivated high-quality plant seed of the kingdom. If the Torch Lord didn't think that the little warrior in front of it was destined to be with them, it wouldn't have taken it out casually.
The little warrior took the sesame seed. Compared to its mouth, the sesame seed was still a bit big. It barely managed to stuff it into its life sac.
Seeing that it had incorporated the sesame seed into its life sac, Si Ye said: "I'll give you a name, from now on you will be called Sesame."
"Okay, I'm called Sesame."
"Rest on me first." Si Ye stretched out its front leg, and the little warrior quickly crawled along its front leg and lay on its head to rest.
Seeing that things were settled, everyone continued to rest.
The next morning, before the sun had even risen above the sea, the Flame Spider merchants saw a large ship piled with seaweed sailing towards the shore.
Seeing the ship coming, several high-level Flame Spiders immediately jumped up and down happily: "It's here, it's here, the beach louse warriors' ship is here."
The Torch Lord said unhappily: "It's here, so what's the excitement?"
However, even though it said so, it also walked out of the forest and came to the beach to wait for the beach louse warriors' ship to arrive.
"It's the Purple Cloud Caravan." When they walked to the beach, the beach louse warriors also saw them on the bow of the ship.
The Seaweed Mountain Lord on the ship said: "Calculating the time, it's almost the time for their caravan to arrive."
When the ship approached the beach, the Seaweed Mountain Lord took the lead to jump off the ship and meet with the Purple Cloud Caravan's spiders.
The other beach louse warriors on the ship did not come down. They still had to feed the ordinary beach lice on the shore.
"Torch."
"Seaweed." The two sides met amicably.
The Seaweed Mountain Lord saw that there were only a few high-level Flame Spiders in the Purple Cloud Caravan, and pretended to be unhappy: "Torch, is it just you spiders who came this year for the Purple Cloud Caravan? Are you looking down on our beach louse tribe?"
Hearing this, the Torch Lord was not annoyed, but said: "Seaweed, don't look down on our few insects, but the primal force food on our backs is enough for your tribe to choose from."
"We also introduced a big business to you this year, and there is also a very good gift for you. If you don't welcome me, I will introduce the business to other insects."
"Business?" The Seaweed Mountain Lord looked at Si Ye on the side, and already had some calculations in his mind. Regarding the business that the Purple Cloud Caravan mentioned, it had once heard Torch and the others mention it, but it just didn't know how big it was?
The Torch Lord said: "Let me show you the gift first."
Si Ye stepped forward, stretched out its front leg, and signaled the Sesame little warrior to come down from its head: "Sesame, your elder is here, go to it."
"This is, a little warrior." The Seaweed Mountain Lord's mental power swept across Si Ye's head, and immediately noticed the small beach louse on its head.
"How is it?" The Torch Lord said somewhat proudly: "This is the little warrior we discovered last night. As soon as we arrived, your tribe added an insect. Seaweed, this gift is not bad, right?"
Sesame crawled down from the top of Si Ye's head, quickly crawled towards the Seaweed Mountain Lord, and asked, raising its head: "Are you my elder?"
"Haha, not bad, not bad." The Seaweed Mountain Lord was very happy. It lowered its body and emitted mental power: "Little guy, are you called Sesame? Has the life seed already been conceived?"
"Yes, it gave me the seed." Sesame turned around and pointed to Si Ye.
"Thank you, I appreciate it." The Seaweed Mountain Lord said to Si Ye.
"It's nothing," Si Ye said easily: "We just happened to encounter Sesame's awakening when we came, which means we are destined."
The Seaweed Mountain Lord looked at the surrounding environment, and then said: "This is not a place to chat, let me take you to my tribe."
To this, Torch and Si Ye themselves would not have any objections.
"Everyone, please wait a moment." The Seaweed Mountain Lord put Sesame on its head, ran to talk to the several beach louse warriors who were working, and asked them to stay here to work. It took Sesame and the Purple Cloud Caravan back to the island.
