Natural God's Gift

Walking across the stone bridge, Mountain Master Ziyun took out a map to check. The Flame Spider Kingdom was located in the southeasternmost part of the continent. Their journey from the kingdom wasn't a straight path.

They initially traveled northwest, first reaching Bloodvine Lake. After completing their transactions there,

they turned northeast from Bloodvine Lake. According to the distance, they were almost at the second tribe.

Originally, they could have rested for a day at the next insect tribe, but now, due to the delay caused by the river, they had to proceed directly to the tribe for trading.

The caravan traveled on the mountain road, heading towards a distant, massive mountain range. Large trees grew everywhere along the way. In the spring, these trees were laden with strings of green fruits. Hidden beneath the lush green leaves, it was difficult to count how many fruits a single tree could produce.

The gluttonous Baizhi climbed onto the top of Mountain Master Ziyun's carapace, which was laden with goods, and plucked a handful of fruits as they passed under a tree.

Baizhi handed several strings of fruit to Siyue: "Siyue, want to try some?"

It also kindly offered two strings to Shaoyao and Mudan: "Do you want some?"

"No," Shaoyao and Mudan looked at Baizhi as if it were an idiot. Who eats mulberry fruits in this season?

"Is it good?" Siyue twirled a fruit, examining it carefully, and asked suspiciously.

Based on its year of experience, any green fruit was generally not tasty. It was either bitter or astringent. The redder and darker the fruit, the more fragrant and sweet it was.

"Who cares?" Baizhi grabbed a string of fruit and stuffed it into its mouth. In its mind, it had to try everything, regardless of whether it was good or bad.

After eating the fruit, Baizhi instantly frowned and grimaced.

Siyue found it hard to imagine seeing so many expressions on a spider's face.

Siyue asked again: "Is it good?"

Baizhi honestly replied: "Not good."

Then it stuffed another string into its mouth, again grimacing from the sourness.

Siyue was astonished: "You still eat it even though it's not good?"

Baizhi said nonchalantly: "What's this? In Xuanyu's strawberry garden, I eat green strawberries too. I'm used to it!"

Siyue:

.......

Shaoyao:

Mudan:

.......

Longya, lagging behind, approached Mountain Master Ludi and quietly asked with lowered mental intent: "Mountain Master Ludi, is this little Original Spider a bit slow in the head?"

Mountain Master Ludi:

.......

Mountain Master Ziyun, walking at the front, released mental intent: "Everyone, pay attention. We are about to enter the territory of Sangling.

There are similar rules here as in the Flower Mosquito Tribe. You must not eat silkworms or moths, otherwise you will be expelled from Sangling at best, and pay with your life at worst. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Baizhi and Siyue didn't expect that each tribe would have different rules. A slight mistake could cost them their lives. It seemed that being a traveling merchant wasn't so easy after all!

Mountain Master Ziyun continued: "Sangling is the territory of the Silkmoth Clan. Here, they have planted an entire mountain range with mulberry trees, and these mulberry trees are their property.

When we Flame Spider merchants enter Sangling, we must also be careful. To prevent the leakage of plants, we cannot take away any mulberry tree seeds or branches after the transaction here.

"Yes!" Torch and Ludi, the two Mountain Masters, understood these rules. Longya and Tiexian, having been merchants for many years, also knew that each tribe had similar rules, so Mountain Master Ziyun was saying this to the little spiders.

Baizhi paused its chewing: "Can I eat some mulberry fruit then?"

Mountain Master Ziyun had never seen such a gluttonous spider. It said helplessly: "The mulberries aren't ripe yet. It's okay if you eat a little, but isn't your mouth sour?"

"It is a bit," Baizhi continued to chew, seeing that Mountain Master Ziyun said it could eat them.

Siyue also silently handed the mulberry fruit in its claws to Baizhi. No wonder Xuanyu guarded against Baizhi like it was a thief. Judging by Baizhi's gluttonous appearance, its strawberry garden must have been severely damaged.

As the caravan continued, they saw that there were not only many mulberry trees in the mountains and forests, densely packed, but also many plump, white silkworms. They felt as if the entire mountain forest was echoing with the rustling sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves. If Mountain Master Ziyun hadn't warned them, Siyue and Baizhi would have wanted to taste what silkworms tasted like.

As they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain range, Mountain Master Ziyun stopped.

It took out the spider silk map, opened it, and called Longya and Tiexian forward, pointing to a location not far from the mountain range on the map: "There is a Hongchun Mountain here, which is the territory of the Spindletree Silkmoth Clan, a subsidiary tribe of the Silkmoth Clan.

The Mountain Master of their clan is called Wingfruit Chrysanthemum, who has awakened the metal-type talent ability. After you go there, just say that you are from the Ziyun Caravan."

"Spindletree Silkmoth?" Longya and Tiexian searched their inherited memories and found that it was also called the Stinktree Silkmoth, possessing both metal and

wood talent potential. The larvae feed on the leaves of various spindletrees.

Mountain Master Ziyun took out some God-given Origin Power food from its carapace and handed it to Longya: "This is the God-given Origin Power food that Mountain Master Wingfruit Chrysanthemum ordered last year. The price has already been negotiated. Just take it and sell it to it.

After you are familiar with Hongchun Mountain, the transactions there will be left to you."

Longya and Tiexian were overjoyed to hear this, which meant that Mountain Master Ziyun had entrusted this small trade route to them.

As for whether they could ultimately take down this trade route, it would depend on themselves. If they were hopeless, Mountain Master Ziyun couldn't do anything about it.

Longya and Tiexian excitedly responded: "Mountain Master Ziyun, don't worry. We guarantee to complete the task and will definitely not disgrace your carapace.

D,

Mountain Master Ziyun: "Come to Sangling and join us as soon as you finish the transaction there."

A small clan like Hongchun Mountain could generate some profit, but not much. It would feel like a waste of time to go earn it, but it would be too much of a loss not to go. So, it might as well give the younger generation the chance to earn this Origin Stone, so they could also shorten the caravan's stay in one place.

As for their safety, Mountain Master Ziyun wasn't too worried. Two high-level Flame Spiders could already solve most problems. Some high-level Flame Spiders without elders had already started independent merchanting. The Flame Spider clan was destined not to stay under the protection of their elders forever; they would eventually have to go out and take risks.

"Got it!" The two spiders identified the direction and left excitedly, carrying a large pile of goods.

Seeing Longya and Tiexian disappear into the forest, Mountain Master Ziyun led the caravan to continue forward.

After a long time, they reached the pass of the mountain range. Mountain Master Ziyun released its mental intent to search for Origin Power warriors nearby. Sangling was much larger than Bloodvine Lake, and its mental intent couldn't reach the core area.

"Is there anyone? I am Ziyun from the Ziyun Caravan. I have brought the Flame Spider Caravan to trade with the Silkmoth Clan."

Mountain Master Ziyun was about to release its mental intent again after releasing it once.

On a large mulberry tree next to the pass, the originally ordinary-looking bark suddenly unfolded two pairs of huge, tree-colored wings, each three to four meters wide. The slight flapping of the giant wings stirred up a cloud of dust.

The sudden appearance of the giant wings startled the little spiders, and they all shrunk back onto Mountain Master Ziyun's carapace.

A large moth with a wingspan of three to four meters flew into the sky and circled the Ziyun Caravan.

The large moth emitted friendly mental intent: "Mountain Master Ziyun, Mountain Master Torch, Mountain Master Ludi. Long time no see. It seems you have brought some younger ones with you."

Before Mountain Master Ziyun could speak, Mountain Master Torch said in surprise: "Fragrantvine? You have been promoted to Mountain Master?"

The large moth replied: "Yes, it is thanks to the various God-given Origin Power foods sent by the Flame Spider Caravan. I ate a lot and was fortunate enough to be promoted to Mountain Master."

Mountain Master Torch happily said: "Haha, it seems we should call you Mountain Master Fragrantvine from now on."

Mountain Master Fragrantvine: "Mountain Master Torch is too kind. Just call me Fragrantvine."

Mountain Master Ziyun: "Mountain Master Fragrantvine, are you guarding the pass of Sangling now?

Our caravan wants to enter for trade. I don't know if it is convenient now?"

Mountain Master Fragrantvine: "Other caravans may not be allowed, but how could it be inconvenient for the Ziyun Caravan? Please come in."

In terms of strength, Sangling was much stronger than Bloodvine Lake. After all, not every tribe could send a Mountain Master to guard the pass.

Mountain Master Fragrantvine led the way in the sky, and the Ziyun Caravan followed behind.

The little spiders obediently lay on Mountain Master Ziyun's head, carefully searching their inherited memories. They found that these large moths were called silkworms in their larval stage.

That wasn't the key. The key was that they could spin silk comparable to spider silk.

The function of silk was extremely similar to that of spider silk. Both were extremely tough, both were impervious to water and fire, and the woven bags could also bind Origin Power. The two were at least 90% similar.

In their inherited memories, during a certain Origin Power reincarnation era, spiders and silkworms had even engaged in a commercial competition for over 10,000 years due to merchant trade.

Throughout the long history, there were quite a few races that had engaged in merchant trade competition with the Flame Spiders, and the Silkmoth Clan was definitely one of the most threatening opponents.

Originally, Flame Spider merchants sold Origin Power food at double or several times the price. After countless Origin Power reincarnation eras of fighting in the marketplace with many competitors, they directly reduced the selling price of Origin Power food to a 20% profit.

To be honest, after many races fought in the marketplace for countless Origin Power eras, the reason why Flame Spider merchants could always remain the mainstream of business and trade was not because they had won, but because this little profit was no longer worth the effort for other races to travel around.

Other races possessed Life Seeds, and the harvest from managing their territories with care was much greater than this. Even so, in each Origin Power reincarnation era, there were still insect tribes that tried to compete with the Flame Spiders in merchant trade, because it seemed like there was nothing difficult about it, and any insect tribe with claws could do it.

The Flame Spiders had no choice. They only had one Life Seed. Even if the profit was compressed again and again, they could only bite the bullet and do business. Even if they could be said to have won, it could only be considered a pyrrhic victory. If they had so many Life Seeds, they would not be willing to travel around.

For countless Origin Power reincarnation eras, it wasn't that there had never been races similar to the Flame Spiders with only a few Life Seeds, but they had disappeared into history for various reasons.

What the little spiders didn't expect was that the insects that were originally competitors could have such a good relationship at this moment. To this, they could only sigh that the world was impermanent.
