Natural God's Gift

Before long, Long Ya returned with a full back of goods. Seeing that only Ze Xie was here, he scanned around with his mental power. The goods were not missing, and the other two little spiders were nowhere to be seen.

Long Ya: "Where are Bai Zhi and Si Ye?"

Ze Xie: "The two little spiders were too playful and ran off a long time ago. I stayed here to wait for you to come back. Now that you're back, it's my turn to go play."

Little warriors are just playful. Long Ya was not surprised, and waved his claws: "Then you go play too."

"Okay!" Seeing that Long Ya hadn't noticed anything unusual, Ze Xie quickly slipped away. As for whether Si Ye and Bai Zhi would be discovered, he couldn't care less. Anyway, they would be the ones getting beaten if they were found out.

Although Long Ya felt that Ze Xie's behavior was a little strange, he didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that the little warriors' ideas were all weird. He continued to guard the goods, waiting for Mountain Lord Ziyun to return from the meeting.

It wasn't until evening that Mountain Lord Ziyun and a few other spiders slowly crawled back. Along with them were a high-level Flame Spider and two low-level Flame Spiders.

Long Ya greeted them: "Mountain Lord Ziyun, has the route been discussed?"

"It's been discussed. Where are Si Ye and the others? Did they run off?" Mountain Lord Ziyun saw that Long Ya had already prepared the goods, and nodded his chelicerae in satisfaction: "We'll set off tonight."

"They ran off after staying for a while," Long Ya muttered: "These little guys really didn't lie to the spider."

"What?" Mountain Lord Ziyun was puzzled.

"It's nothing," Long Ya no longer dwelled on the issue. He turned to the other high-level Flame Spider and said: "Tie Xian, why did you bring Shao Yao and Mu Dan along too?"

"Long Ya," the two low-level little Flame Spiders stood on Tie Xian's head and greeted him.

Tie Xian: "Lord Che Qian said that we have three Mountain Lords and two high-level warriors here. There's no problem bringing a few little warriors along for the caravan, so I brought Shao Yao and Mu Dan along."

Long Ya: "There really are quite a few little warriors in our kingdom these past few years."

Mountain Lord Huoju interrupted their chat: "Alright, stop gossiping, everyone pack up your things and let's set off."

"Okay!" Tie Xian excitedly said: "My carapace has been itching after resting in the kingdom for two or three months."

Long Ya retorted: "If your carapace is itching, then eat some primal force food that enhances the carapace's flexibility."

"Load the goods!" With Mountain Lord Ziyun's order, the spiders began to move.

Mountain Lord Huoju and Mountain Lord Ludi placed the less fragile goods at the bottom, such as the jackfruit traded from Xuan Yu, the durian traded from Ban Xia, and the divinely bestowed coconuts purchased from the trading hall.

These fruits were huge, and they usually didn't cut open the thick-skinned fruits, but sold them whole. Although they weren't easy to sell, the profit could be doubled as long as one was sold, so they were happy to take a few of these goods.

However, even so, they didn't just place them randomly. To prevent damage from collisions on the road, they wrapped each fruit in a silk bag, and then tied them firmly to their bodies with a silk thread to prevent them from falling.

Mountain Lord Ludi saw some bottles and jars on the ground and said: "Ziyun, should these jars be placed in the middle?"

Mountain Lord Huoju: "Isn't placing the jars in the middle too space-consuming?"

Mountain Lord Ziyun: "Can you use your brains? Give me those two golden jars."

Mountain Lord Huoju handed the two golden jars to Mountain Lord Ziyun.

Mountain Lord Ziyun untied the silk bag on his back containing the divinely bestowed primal force food, stuffed all the bags into the jar, and then used silk thread to tie the top and bottom of the jar tightly, placing it securely on his back: "Isn't this better? And it doesn't waste space."

"Good idea!"

"Mountain Lord Ziyun is really amazing!"

"Mountain Lord Ziyun is the smartest spider in our Flame Spider Kingdom!" Long Ya and Tie Xian hurriedly flattered him.

Mountain Lord Huoju knocked their heads with his chelicerae: "Ziyun is smart? Are you saying that I'm not smart?"

"Mountain Lord Huoju is also smart, Mountain Lord Huoju is the smartest!" The two spiders were beaten and scurried away, covering their heads.

"Fun, fun!" Shao Yao and Mu Dan tapped their little chelicerae together, excitedly cheering for Mountain Lord Huoju, feeling it was very interesting.

Mountain Lord Ziyun stopped the spiders from brawling: "Alright, Huoju, hurry up and get to work."

Rebuked by Mountain Lord Ziyun, Mountain Lord Huoju continued to work. He tied the pottery jar containing honey to his body, and pinched the handle of the golden teapot: "Where should I put this?"

Bai Zhi and Si Ye, who were inside the teapot, felt the teapot move. They instantly held their breath. Bai Zhi stretched all eight legs to the maximum, desperately supporting the wall of the teapot to prevent himself from making any noise. Si Ye also firmly hooked Bai Zhi with all eight legs. The two spiders didn't dare to move at all.

"Give it to me, I'll stuff it in with the jar, so it doesn't fall," Mountain Lord Ziyun took the teapot without thinking much, directly stuffed it onto his carapace, and then continued to place various primal force foods on his back.

Feeling that there was no movement outside the teapot, Bai Zhi and Si Ye breathed a sigh of relief. If either Mountain Lord Huoju or Mountain Lord Ziyun had taken the time to open the teapot and take a look, then the two little spiders would probably have been hung up and beaten. Fortunately, they were busy setting off and didn't have time to check these details.

Bai Zhi quietly sent out a mental thought: "Si Ye, are you okay?"

Si Ye also lowered his mental thought and replied: "I'm fine. This little spider was scared into a sweat just now."

"Nonsense, spiders don't sweat!"

"Shh, don't make a sound, Mountain Lord Ziyun will find out later."

Mountain Lord Ziyun stacked piles of goods on his back, layer upon layer, until all the goods were piled on his back and tied up before stopping. Seeing that everyone had packed their goods, he asked: "Is everyone ready?"

The other spiders echoed: "Ready!"

"Then let's set off!"

The spiders followed behind Mountain Lord Ziyun, making rustling sounds as they walked, which seemed particularly harsh in the silent night sky.

As they walked onto the trade road within the kingdom, the rustling sounds became even louder.

The little warriors standing on Tie Xian's head turned around to look when they heard the sound. Lord Che Qian, the ancestor of their ancestors, had brought twenty or so Watase Flame Spiders behind them at some point.

Moreover, it wasn't just the spiders of their Watase Flame Spider tribe that appeared on the trade road. White-legged Flame Spiders, Iridescent Flame Spiders, Purple-colored Flame Spiders, Round-Purple Flame Spiders…

One by one, large and small, colorful Flame Spiders emerged from the trees and grass. Each spider carried heavy goods on its back. Familiar spiders greeted each other and chatted with each other. From time to time, they could see a few lord-level Flame Spiders silently marching in the team like huge fortresses, and then gradually joining the main force to form a huge spider torrent.

As spring arrived, under the bright moonlight, the annual Flame Spider caravan journey finally began!
