Natural God's Gift

The Flame Spider warriors stowed the anchors, raised the sails, and, under the gaze of the many Black Vein Powder Butterfly warriors, slowly sailed their large ship towards the vast sea.

The iron frames filled the ship's hold to the brim, leaving the Flame Spider warriors only room to stand on the deck.

Their deck was detachable, allowing them to open it when loading cargo and reattach it once finished, making it quite convenient.

Standing on the deck, Boss Thistle silently noted this issue, planning to make slight modifications to the second and third ships upon their return.

The cold winter wind blew from north to south, so their northward journey was against the current. Halfway there, they would have to stow the sails and ask Cloud Pod to pull the ship.

Cloud Pod's current size reached over 70 meters, and with its strength and water-based talents, it was undoubtedly a dominant force in the water.

When it pulled the ship at high speed, the 150-meter-long vessel looked like a toy in its hands, and the speed was even faster than normal sailing.

In less than ten days, the ship arrived within the sea area of ​​Worry-Free Island.

As before, Four Leaf had the ship stop outside while he personally went to the island to find Lord Sea Green.

When Four Leaf landed on the island, he saw Lord Sea Green standing on the beach, quietly watching the large ship on the sea.

"Lord Sea Green," Four Leaf called out.

"Mountain Lord Four Leaf, you really came at the end of the year! Aren't you attending the Kingdom Gathering?" Sea Green had thought Four Leaf and the others would only come out after the Kingdom Gathering.

Four Leaf smiled easily, "If we're fast enough, we can still make it to the Kingdom Gathering."

"Truly diligent spiders."

Four Leaf didn't want to waste time on pleasantries, and inquired, "Lord Sea Green, I've brought the ship over.

There are some iron frames filled with fertilizer on board. Where do you want these frames placed? On Worry-Free Island?"

"No need," Lord Sea Green said, "Our Worry-Free Island is a super-large island, and there are many small islands around it.

We've also found several islands with a large number of seabirds. The bird droppings have accumulated for countless millennia. Some islands are even formed directly from bird droppings. Just sail the ship directly there."

"Alright, please lead the way, Lord Sea Green."

"Then I'll go to your ship first." Then, without waiting for Four Leaf to reply, it used its 14 legs with force,

leaping onto the water surface. Then, when it touched the seawater, it was like touching a spring, bouncing hundreds of meters away with a light touch.

"Water Leap Technique?"

Seeing Lord Sea Green quickly jumping towards the ship, Four Leaf was unwilling to be outdone. Lightning elemental energy surged throughout his body, his eight legs flailing wildly as he sped away like lightning: "Lightning Ability, Flash Speed!"

Four Leaf and Lord Sea Green arrived on the ship almost simultaneously.

Lord Sea Green had just jumped onto the ship and steadied himself, not even greeting the spiders on board, when he felt the surging lightning elemental energy behind him.

He turned around to check and saw a blue-purple lightning bolt landing on the ship.

Lord Sea Green was shocked: "Such speed."

After sensing the elemental energy power around him, he trembled again: "Lightning elemental energy?"

He knew that the Flame Spider Kingdom had a deep foundation, and even some kingdom secrets. He had guessed some of it, but he didn't expect the Flame Spider Kingdom to use its foundation on Four Leaf. It seemed that this spider's status in the Flame Spider Kingdom was quite extraordinary!

Four Leaf stood firm on the ship: "Lord Sea Green, which direction should we go?"

Lord Sea Green waved his antennae: "Head southeast."

"Southeast, unfurl the sails." The spiders on the ship were startled when they saw a large sea cockroach jump over.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Four Leaf following behind.

They also knew that this island was the territory of the Shore Isopod tribe, and immediately recognized the other party's identity after seeing Four Leaf and Lord Sea Green talking.

Upon hearing the direction, they immediately turned the ship and headed in the direction Lord Sea Green indicated.

They didn't travel long before they arrived at the island designated by Lord Sea Green.

The island was densely packed with seabirds of all types. Saying there were thousands or tens of thousands was an understatement.

The high-ranking Flame Spiders on the ship couldn't help but feel a little timid when they saw the birds occupying the entire island, turning it snow-white.

"Mountain Lord Four Leaf, there are too many birds here, aren't there?"

Lord Sea Green stood calmly on the ship and said, "If you want a place with a lot of bird droppings, naturally these islands with seabirds have the most."

"Calculate it. Even if a seabird produces 20 grams of bird droppings a day, how much can it produce in a year?"

The spiders on the ship quickly calculated: "20 grams a day, 360 days a year, that's 7.2 kilograms."

"What about ten thousand years?"

"Ten thousand years is 72 tons."

"There are millions of birds here, and they can produce nearly 100 million tons of bird droppings every ten thousand years. Think about how much fertilizer there is here, and they've been here for more than 100,000 or 200,000 years!"

"Alright," the spiders felt that Lord Sea Green's words made sense.

It's just that these birds here are quite stubborn. Their ship had only been here for a short while, and birds kept flying over to attack them. Even though they casually killed a dozen, there were still birds fearlessly flying over.

Four Leaf said, "Let's eat something and get to work!"

"Okay." The spiders immediately began to divide the birds. As insects, they were most afraid of all kinds of birds and frogs when they were young.

After growing up, perhaps out of revenge, their favorite food was all kinds of birds.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone started working.

They found a suitable location and began building a pier for the ship, with a similar process and procedure as in the Black Vein Powder Butterfly Kingdom.

They built the pier, then laid out the tracks, opened the hold, and unloaded the iron frames from the ship.

They pushed everything onto the island along the tracks.

In addition to the iron frames, wooden planks and the tools made by the Black Vein Powder Butterfly warriors were all moved down. Four Leaf even took a set of tools to introduce their uses to Lord Sea Green, but Lord Sea Green directly said, "Mountain Lord Four Leaf, I'm also very familiar with these tools. Don't forget, I also grew up in the Flame Spider Kingdom."

Four Leaf thought that was right. The other party had stayed in the Flame Spider Kingdom for perhaps even longer than himself.

Four Leaf said, "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Sea Green to teach the other isopod warriors how to use the tools when the time comes."

"No problem!"

Four Leaf asked again, "Lord Sea Green, when do you think the isopod warriors will be able to start working?"

It wasn't that he urgently needed this fertilizer. This was a business that would last for over a hundred years, and he wasn't short of it for the time being.

It was just that the ship hadn't transported fertilizer before, so he wanted to test the effect.

Lord Sea Green said, "The New Year is coming soon. They won't be able to work for many days now.

After the New Year is the beginning of spring, and everyone's life seeds need thinning and fruiting. They probably won't be free until February or March!

3

"Alright." Four Leaf couldn't possibly tell the other party to ignore the life seed production. He didn't have that much influence.

Si Ye then said, "Lord Hai Qing, my ship can carry 70,000 cubic meters of fertilizer at a time.

Based on your experience, how long do you think it will take to load 70,000 cubic meters of fertilizer?"

Lord Hai Qing said, "There are quite a few seabirds here, so it's only safe for advanced warriors to come.

When the time comes, I'll bring a hundred advanced warriors over to work first.

An advanced warrior can easily load dozens of cubic meters of fertilizer a day, so it should take 15 to 20 days to load 70,000 cubic meters!"

For Zerg warriors who have advanced to the advanced stage, ordinary beasts in the Star Realm are basically no longer a match for them.

As for Zerg warriors in the intermediate stage, although they also have the ability to fight large beasts, there is still a risk of being eaten.

Not to mention the Zerg warriors in the primary stage; any random bird can easily swallow them whole.

Si Ye thought for a moment; this time didn't seem too long, much faster than when the insects of the Star Sand Islands were transporting it.

Of course, this is mainly because bamboo tubes were more troublesome to fill back then, while iron frames are simpler.

"Since work won't start until after the spring thaw, we won't stay here any longer."

They couldn't see any results here in the short term,

and there was no need for them to stay here.

After unloading all the iron frames, the spiders also returned to the ship, preparing to set sail back to the Flame Spider Kingdom.

"Lord Hai Qing, let's go, let's go back!"

Lord Hai Qing shook his antennae: "You guys go back first; I'll go back myself when the time comes, so you don't have to make an extra trip to Worry-Free Island."

"Alright, then we'll go back."

Si Ye didn't stand on ceremony; such a short distance wasn't really anything to a Lord-level Zerg warrior.

Si Ye and the others set sail; they were going from north to south, sailing with the wind, and since they weren't carrying any cargo, the sails were raised, and they were blown forward by the sea breeze at a rapid pace.

Yun Shi, following behind, almost couldn't keep up.

It took them more than twenty days to go there, but only six or seven days to return, a difference of more than threefold in time.

However, this was because they weren't carrying cargo and couldn't be used as an example; the speed would definitely not be so fast when carrying cargo in the future.

By the time Si Ye and the others returned to the kingdom by ship, it was already the spring thaw.

Si Ye parked the ship at Tianya Reef; it planned to learn from Boss Xiao Ji and build a dock nearby, so the ship could be parked in the dock when not in use.

At this time, everyone's Life Seeds had awakened from their winter slumber, and everyone was busy replenishing fertilizer and Origin Power.

The Original Flame Spiders also had to take care of the plants planted in their territories and ask the Five Divisions of Flame Spiders to help with the work.

Therefore, at this time of year, both the Dragon Bamboo Plains and the shellfish farming areas were quite quiet,

with only a few Iridescent Flame Spider warriors left behind to patrol, preventing sea beasts from rushing over and destroying the farming areas.

Si Ye had been running around everywhere last year, busy from the beginning to the end of the year without much rest, and wanted to rest for a few more days after returning.

The news of its return to the kingdom was soon known by the other spiders; after all, such a large ship parked by the sea could be seen by anyone with eight spider eyes that weren't blind.

After learning that Si Ye had returned, some spiders immediately went to Twin Peaks to find it; some merchant groups wanted to trade for some Divine Sea Dates and Divine Mangrove Fruit trading quotas and had deliberately stayed in the kingdom without going out to travel.

Although Si Ye's Life Seed was usually managed by Ai Hao, and the Origin Power food was arranged for sale by Danggui, they didn't dare to make their own arrangements regarding the trading quotas for these two Divine Origin Power foods.

After Si Ye returned, it traded with several merchant groups for several high-quality Divine Origin Power foods.

Below Twin Peaks, Si Ye had just negotiated a Divine Sea Date trading quota with an Iridescent Flame Spider Mountain Lord.

In recent years, as the scale of the Flame Spider merchant groups has expanded, many merchant groups, like the Ziyun merchant group, have begun to split up, and the split-off merchant groups also have a demand for various Divine Origin Power foods.

Some of them have obtained many quite unique Divine Origin Power foods on the trade routes they have opened up, and some will take them out to trade with Si Ye for Divine Sea Dates and Divine Mangrove Fruit.

After obtaining a new type of Divine Origin Power food, Si Ye was quite satisfied.

What it didn't expect was that Lord Green Land hadn't set off to travel either, but had come to find it.

"Lord Green Land? You haven't set off yet?"

When Lord Green Land came to find it, Si Ye was indeed a little surprised because, in previous years, the spiders of the Ziyun merchant group had already set off to travel at this time.

"No, I need to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

Si Ye was a little strange; was there something that couldn't be said at the end of the year? Did it need to wait for it specifically?

Lord Green Land said, "I saw your ship parked at Tianya Reef.

Have you already made a round trip to the Shore Woodlouse Tribe?"

"Yes."

"Was the voyage smooth?"

"It was quite smooth."

"Oh,"

Lord Green Land said, "Would your ship be able to travel a little further north?"

Si Ye asked, "Lord Green Land, do you have any plans?"

Lord Green Land said, "You also know that we purchased a Venus Flytrap Divine Seed from Blood Vine Lake back then.

Later, we resold this Divine Seed to the Rove Beetle Kingdom in the north of the Ten Thousand Races Continent."

Si Ye naturally knew this; it was one of the witnesses back then.

Lord Green Land said, "We didn't sell the Venus Flytrap Divine Seed to the Rove Beetle Kingdom at the price of Origin Power food.

There is a super-large Origin Stone mine within the Rove Beetle Kingdom, and they purchased it directly with Origin Stones.

The price they gave at the time was 48 million Origin Stones."

Si Ye also knew this.

Lord Green Land said, "Origin Stones don't have production restrictions like Origin Power food; they only need to be mined out.

48 million Origin Stones isn't much for the Rove Beetle Kingdom; they can supply them at any time.

It's just that due to the limitations of our Ziyun merchant group's carrying capacity, we can only carry 50,000 to 150,000 Origin Stones each year.

In more than twenty years, we have only carried back less than three million Origin Stones."

Si Ye immediately understood: "Lord Green Land, do you want me to go north and transport the remaining Origin Stones back in one trip?"

"Yes,"

Lord Green Land said, "Naturally, it's best to transport the Origin Stones back as soon as possible."

If the Origin Stones were transported back, they could deposit the Origin Stones into the kingdom and exchange them for Origin Power food to take out for trade.

Not to mention anything else, the Origin Stones earned each year would be enough to pay off the loan from Blood Vine Lake.

There was also another reason: with their current funds, it was not enough to supply the three lords to open up three trade routes.

They urgently needed funds to increase their trading assets.

"That's no problem, but I don't know the location of the Rove Beetle Kingdom!"

Lord Green Land smiled: "That's easy.

You're going to the Shore Woodlouse Tribe, and Torch is also going to the Shore Woodlouse Tribe.

You can meet up there and have Torch take you there."

"Okay."
