Natural God's Gift
#371 - See the Insects of Xingsha Islands Again
Four-Leaf and the Orb-weaver Spider King carried the God-given Origin Force food back to the kingdom. The Cartwheel Spider King, as planned, separated from them on the Fang Continent, carrying a portion of the God-given Origin Force food.
When Four-Leaf and the others returned to the Starship, they discovered that Black Tea was no longer there, presumably having returned already. They didn't linger and directly carried the God-given Origin Force food back to the Flame Spider Kingdom.
Back in the kingdom, Four-Leaf had a little time to itself. In the spring, its main task in the kingdom, especially at Sky Reef, was to occasionally blow the Sea God Horn to stimulate the shellfish in the breeding grounds. Otherwise, there wasn't much else to do.
One day, after Four-Leaf finished blowing the Sea God Horn at Sky Reef, Bai Zhi ran over to ask, "Four-Leaf, we're going to the Silver Plum Continent to trade. Is there anything you need us to do?"
"There's nothing in particular," Four-Leaf thought for a moment, then said, "Since I don't have anything to do right now, I'll go to the Silver Plum Continent with you. It's been a while since I've seen Snakeberry and the others."
"Ah? You're going with us too?"
Four-Leaf retorted, "What? Is that not allowed?"
"Of course it's allowed. I thought you were busy."
"Then let's go."
Coincidentally, Yun Shi was also waiting for Bai Zhi outside Sky Reef. Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi climbed onto Yun Shi's back. Danggui didn't go with them. Bai Zhi was about to be promoted to a Lord-level Flame Spider, so it could carry enough Origin Force food.
Yun Shi was quite curious to see Four-Leaf arrive, "Four-Leaf, are you going to the Silver Plum Continent too?"
"Yes, it's been a while since I've seen those bugs."
"Shall we go to the Silver Plum Continent first or to Black Tea's place first?"
"Let's go to Black Tea's place first."
"Okay." Hearing Four-Leaf's arrangement, Yun Shi didn't say anything more and just plunged ahead.
After being promoted to Mountain Lord level, Yun Shi's traveling speed increased significantly. A journey that originally took one or two days now only took half a day to reach Black Tea Island.
In the vast sea, Yun Shi's figure was just a drop in the ocean, inconspicuous. But when it arrived near the island, its massive body and dark back were like a giant reef emerging from the water, visible from several kilometers away.
Black Tea, who was flying around the island inspecting the territory and searching for God-given Seeds, saw the huge figure in the sea from afar and happily went to greet them.
"Yun Shi, Bai Zhi, oh, Boss Four-Leaf is here too."
"Black Tea," Four-Leaf waved its forelegs, full of enthusiasm.
"Boss Four-Leaf, what brings you here?"
"Just came to see you guys." Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi landed on the island and looked around, "Where are your juniors?"
"They're working in the territory."
"What age are they? They're already working?"
"The little warrior is called Hua Lou, early seventh instar. Didn't Bai Zhi teach me how to plant scaled plants and cultivate God-given Seeds? I'm having it work with me."
"Oh, oh," After landing on the island, they walked towards Black Tea's territory.
A small warrior, only fifty or sixty centimeters long, flew towards them.
Black Tea immediately said, "Lou, come here."
"I'm coming." The little warrior rushed towards Black Tea and the others. When it saw Four-Leaf's massive size, it subconsciously hid behind Black Tea.
"What are you hiding for?" Black Tea's antennae gently pointed at Bai Zhi, "This is Mountain Lord Bai Zhi. She came last year and even saw you. Have you forgotten?"
"And this one," Black Tea's antennae pointed to Four-Leaf in front, "This is Boss Four-Leaf, who I often talk to you about. Call it Lower Spider."
The young warrior timidly sent out a mental message, "Hello, Boss Four-Leaf."
"Hello." Four-Leaf took out a few Origin Force pearls and handed them to the little warrior, "Here's a little gift for you."
The little warrior shrank back, afraid to accept them. Black Tea signaled it to take them boldly, and it dared to accept them.
They arrived under Black Tea's tea tree God-given Seed. After decades of growth, the tea tree God-given Seed had grown to nearly a hundred meters tall and was growing very vigorously.
Four-Leaf looked at it and saw that Black Tea had taken good care of it. The whole tree looked prosperous.
After arriving under the God-given Seed tree, Bai Zhi began to unload various goods and trade with Black Tea.
Four-Leaf came this time to get acquainted with Black Tea and the others. Bai Zhi was responsible for all the trading matters, so Four-Leaf let them evaluate the price of the Origin Force food and bargain.
"I'm going to see Zimu."
"Okay."
Four-Leaf didn't need Yun Shi to lead the way and directly used its flying ability to arrive at the island where Zimu was located.
"Zimu." When it arrived, it saw a giant, black and white patterned, armored beetle lying on a suspended nest built from several Dragon Bamboo offshoots, sunbathing.
"You're so comfortable, Zimu." After so many years of growth, Zimu had also been promoted to the Mountain Lord level, but it was currently only a first instar Mountain Lord. If nothing unexpected happened, it would probably only be able to stop at the Mountain Lord level for the rest of its life.
"Four-Leaf?" Awakened by the mental message, Zimu looked at Four-Leaf with some surprise, "You're here!"
"Came to see you." Four-Leaf looked at the Dragon Bamboo Life Seed under Zimu's feet, "How is the Dragon Bamboo Life Seed?"
"This?" Looking at the small bamboo forest in front of it, Zimu said helplessly, "The Dragon Bamboo Life Seed is good. The strength-enhanced fruits are also good, but the output takes too long. It only bears fruit once every ten years."
"Ten years!" Actually, Four-Leaf felt that it was pretty good to be able to produce a batch in that time. It originally thought it would take at least 50 years to produce a batch.
"How much Origin Stone Origin Force food can the territory produce each year now?"
"We harvested a batch of Origin Force food the year before last. On average, we have 42,000 Origin Force food per year. Mainly, the many top-tier plants you gave me have been nurtured into Life Seeds and produce a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have enough Origin Force food to promote to the Mountain Lord level."
"Manage the territory well and strive to obtain a God-given Seed. That way, promotion to Lord will not be a problem."
"Hopefully." It wanted to have a God-given Seed as its Life Seed, but in the Flame Spider Kingdom's vast territory, only a few God-given Seeds appeared each year. It was even more difficult for it to obtain a God-given Seed in the sea, relying on a few small islands with small areas.
Four-Leaf and Zimu chatted idly on the island. Before long, Bai Zhi also came to trade with it. After the trade was completed, they went to the Silver Plum Continent with Yun Shi.
It had been more than thirty years since Four-Leaf last came to the Silver Plum Continent.
When Yun Shi carried Four-Leaf and the others here, seeing the pier specially made for Yun Shi to rest, and the rows of neatly planted coconut trees, Four-Leaf couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to Black Tea's small island, the changes here were really huge.
Before landing on the island, Bai Zhi introduced the neatly planted coconut trees on the shore to Four-Leaf, "The Silver Plum Continent obtained a coconut God-given Seed a few years ago.
Because the coconut seeds were too large for the insects on Silver Plum Island to incorporate into their life pouches, they were sown as a wild, divinely bestowed species. Although the yield isn't high right now, the potential is great."
"Coconuts? What is the effect of this divinely bestowed primal food? Water-based enhancement?" In the astral realm, no insect uses coconut trees as their life species, mainly because the fruits are too large to swallow.
Given that tree species can mutate, there's no reference for the fruit's effects. In the previous primal force reincarnation era, the Flame Spider Kingdom had a coconut tree divinely bestowed species that enhanced water-based abilities.
"No, it's life affinity, a life-based attribute. It's a great thing, definitely a top-tier divinely bestowed species."
"Then Silver Plum Island has really struck it rich." One top-tier divinely bestowed species, plus the Silver Plum divinely bestowed species, will be enough to support the future evolution needs of the island's insect warriors. At the very least, it's enough to provide for the twenty or thirty insect warriors to advance to Mountain Lord level.
Moreover, Silver Plum Island provides Siyekanchi with nearly 100,000 cubic meters of birds annually, which is also a considerable income.
They landed on the island and found that their insect warriors also welcomed them warmly.
"Quickly inform Lord Snakestrawberry that the Siyekanchi trade caravan has arrived."
"Boss Siyekanchi," Snakestrawberry, having received the message, flew from the depths of Silver Plum Island, greeting Siyekanchi enthusiastically.
"Boss Siyekanchi," Hollow Mountain Lord also flew over, looking at Siyekanchi with envy. "Your Flame Spider Kingdom is too wealthy! You've advanced to Lord so quickly."
You should know that when Siyekanchi first came, he was only a newly promoted Advanced Warrior, while Hollow was already a Mountain Lord.
Twenty or thirty years later, Siyekanchi has directly surpassed him and advanced to Lord.
"Haha, Hollow, haven't you also reached the ninth instar and are about to advance to Lord? And Snakestrawberry, aren't you also a Lord-level warrior?" Siyekanchi was also very happy to see the familiar insects' instars had grown.
Speaking of this, Snakestrawberry was also very happy: "Haha, thanks to you, with your trade caravan's constant supply of primal force food, I was fortunate enough to advance to Lord. Hollow is also about to advance to Lord, otherwise, we would probably have died of old age at the Mountain Lord level."
"I heard that many more divinely bestowed species have appeared on your Silver Plum Island? Would it be convenient to show us around?"
"Convenient, of course, convenient. Please, please, please." Lord Snakestrawberry warmly invited.
Other insect warriors on Silver Plum Island also arrived one after another. Lord Snakestrawberry instructed: "Hollow, Cogongrass, you trade primal force food with Mountain Lord Bai Zhi. I'll take Lord Siyekanchi to look around."
Lord Snakestrawberry led Siyekanchi towards the depths of Silver Plum Island.
"We currently have six divinely bestowed species on Silver Plum Island. The existing Silver Plum divinely bestowed species and my Snakestrawberry divinely bestowed species, as well as the Hollow divinely bestowed species, need no further explanation."
"In recent years, Cogongrass also found a Berberis divinely bestowed species, and a small warrior found a Mountain Plum divinely bestowed species, as well as the Coconut Tree divinely bestowed species found in recent years."
"The Coconut Tree divinely bestowed species is a top-tier divinely bestowed species. I heard it enhances life affinity?" The other divinely bestowed species were fine, but the Coconut Tree divinely bestowed species had to be seen.
Lord Snakestrawberry's pride overflowed: "According to your description, it should be considered a top-tier divinely bestowed species.
Then, it said with some regret: "It's a pity that it can't be cultivated into a life species, otherwise, there would be Lord-level divinely bestowed primal force food produced now."
"Good things take time."
Under the leadership of Lord Snakestrawberry, Siyekanchi came to the Coconut Tree divinely bestowed species. Lord Snakestrawberry took out various primal force foods to entertain Siyekanchi.
Compared to before, Silver Plum Island was much wealthier, at least there was a surplus of various primal force foods.
Siyekanchi and Lord Snakestrawberry chatted while eating: "Snakestrawberry, how many insect warriors are there on your island now?"
"There are thirty-two insect warriors on the island. I am the only Lord-level insect warrior, there are four Mountain Lord-level insect warriors, there are more Advanced Warriors, twenty-one, and six Elementary and Intermediate small warriors."
Speaking of this, Lord Snakestrawberry thanked again: "This is all thanks to you, Boss Siyekanchi. You not only brought various types of primal force food, but also brought us work outside of managing the territory.
You also had Bai Zhi and Angelica teach us how to plant species, so we can now have so many insect warriors advance to Advanced, Mountain Lord level, and hopefully advance to Lord level in the future."
"Haha, win-win cooperation, win-win cooperation." Receiving Lord Snakestrawberry's flattery, Siyekanchi laughed unceremoniously. In fact, it did indeed provide substantial help to Silver Plum Island, which was not a lie.
Of course, the insect warriors on Silver Plum Island were willing to work hard, which was also a deserved reward. In addition to managing the territory, they also had to transport manure and mine gemstones, without rest all year round, in order to have such rapid wealth growth.
Siyekanchi said: "Have you searched for any divinely bestowed species or insect warriors on the nearby islands?
Silver Plum Island is a large island with a large number of small islands, and the area is quite vast. Logically speaking, there should have been other insect warriors born over the years."
"Yes, we found three small insect warriors on a nearby island. The Mountain Plum divinely bestowed species was also found on a small island."
Siyekanchi asked: "What about the depths of Silver Plum Island? Have you explored it?"
"No," Lord Snakestrawberry shook its antennae: "The area south of Silver Plum Island is covered in mist all year round. Once you enter, it's difficult to release even mental power, and you can't even find the directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast. We've tried many times, but we really can't get in."
"That's a bit strange." Yun Shi also said that the place was impassable, and mental power was difficult to spread.
It sounded a bit like a divine power barrier.
This time, Siyekanchi came to Silver Plum Island not only to see these familiar insects, but also to see what was going on with the mist in Silver Plum Island's past.
Thinking of this, Siyekanchi said decisively: "Lord Snakestrawberry, would it be convenient to take me to see it?"
"Boss Siyekanchi," Lord Snakestrawberry was a little surprised: "That area is surrounded by mist all year round, and there's nothing valuable. There's a risk of getting lost inside. There's no need to go in, right?"
"It doesn't matter," Siyekanchi said: "I don't do things I'm not sure of. I also want to see what caused this mist."
Seeing Siyekanchi's tone so firm, Lord Snakestrawberry could only helplessly agree: "If you're not sure, don't go too deep. The area of this mist is very vast."
