Natural God's Gift

The sun had already set, and the wind on the beach at night was quite strong. The little flame spiders couldn't withstand the cold winter wind and had all retreated into the forest. The beach returned to silence. After a whole day of searching by the little flame spiders, there was very little food left on the beach. They could only wait for the tide to bring the rich food resources from the depths of the sea. After the tide receded tomorrow, the little flame spiders would densely occupy this beach again.

"The beach is so much fun!" Even on the way back, Four-Leaf's excitement hadn't diminished. It chattered with the other spiders about the interesting things on the beach.

"Right?" Echo Spring said with a hint of pride, "I told you it was fun here, and there are many interesting things."

Four-Leaf asked curiously, "What other interesting things are there?"

"Do you know about seashells?"

"Yes, I know. I found so many with Bai Zhi today, and they were so delicious."

"Some seashells produce pearls, which are even more beautiful. Hei Nuo said it even used pearls to exchange for primal force food in other insectoid tribes."

Four-Leaf said in disbelief, "Are pearls so valuable?"

Echo Spring said matter-of-factly, "They're pretty, aren't they? We like them, and the other insectoid warriors like them too. Some wealthy insects will naturally buy some pretty trinkets."

"Wow, Echo Spring, when can we go to the beach again?"

"You have to ask Mountain Master Holly. We can only go if it agrees."

Four-Leaf lightly tapped its spider leg on Mountain Master Holly's carapace, "Mountain Master Holly, when can we go to the beach again?"

"It's too cold in the winter. Let's go again in the summer." These troublesome insects are hard to keep an eye on when they're let out. If it doesn't manage them well, Leader Qingfeng will scold it again. If Four-Leaf hadn't just returned to the kingdom, and Mountain Master Holly had decided to fulfill its little wish to see the sea, it wouldn't want to create trouble for itself.

"Pearls, pearls, I want to find pearls!" For some reason, Bai Zhi suddenly started jumping up and down on Mountain Master Holly's back, causing Four-Leaf and Ni Hu to also jump around haphazardly.

"Pearls, pearls, I want pretty pearls! I want pearls that can be exchanged for primal force food..." The little flame spiders, each carrying a large conch shell on their backs, were jumping up and down, looking extremely comical.

Mountain Master Holly said unhappily, "All of you shut up! If you jump again, you'll fall off. I won't wait for you then."

Hearing Mountain Master Holly's threatening words, they became a little worried and retracted their spider legs, shrinking towards the center of the carapace.

Mountain Master Holly was worried that they would cause more trouble, so it decided to divert their attention.

"Do you know? When we were little, there were other ways to play with conch shells."

"Other ways to play?" The little flame spiders were puzzled. They looked at each other's conch shells, feeling that it was already fun enough to be able to shrink inside like a hermit crab. Could there be two or three other ways to play with a shell? How could they play?

Four-Leaf turned the conch shell over and over, examining it with its eight legs, but still couldn't figure out what other ways there were to play.

The other spiders also tried to find other ways to play, looking at it from all angles. Bai Zhi even stuck its head into the conch shell, and then successfully got stuck.

"I can't seem to get out. Four-Leaf, pull me out." Only four of Bai Zhi's legs were outside, while the other four were stuck inside the conch shell. It couldn't even tap out the unique communication method of the flame spider clan.

Ze Xie complained, "Bai Zhi is indeed a stupid spider."

Now even Bai Zhi itself didn't dare to make a sound. It felt that its behavior was too stupid.

Fortunately, it wasn't stuck too tightly. Four-Leaf and Ze Xie pulled it out with a tug.

"Mountain Master Holly, what other ways are there to play? Please tell us," Having learned from Bai Zhi's experience, the other spiders didn't dare to mess around anymore and could only beg Mountain Master Holly to tell them about the other ways to play with conch shells.

Mountain Master Holly quickly ran towards the forest nest: "If you listen and don't make noise, I'll teach you the other ways to play with conch shells when we get back. It's much more fun than this."

"Really?" In the dark night, hundreds of eyes shone brightly under the starlight.

"We'll listen."

"We'll be good." The little warriors covered their mouths with their small palps, looking forward to the road home.

Without the little warriors making noise and without worrying about them falling off halfway, Mountain Master Holly ran much more easily and quickly returned to the nest it had built for teaching the little warriors.

The little warriors slid down Mountain Master Holly's back one by one, impatiently asking, "Mountain Master Holly, we're home. Now can you tell us the other ways to play with conch shells?"

Mountain Master Holly was too lazy to pay attention to them and drove them back to the nest: "You can't do anything properly, your homework is terrible, and all you think about is playing. It's time to go back to sleep."

"No, Mountain Master Holly, please tell us," The little warriors ran forward and hugged Mountain Master Holly's spider legs, not letting it leave.

"I'll tell you tomorrow. Go to sleep." If it told the little warriors, it wouldn't be able to rest tonight.

Four-Leaf widened its eyes: "Spiders sleep during the day."

Mountain Master Holly retorted: "Then did you sleep during the day?"

After saying that, it strode its spider legs, preparing to return to its own nest. Several little warriors hugged its legs and were carried along with it.

Seeing that it couldn't hold onto Mountain Master Holly, Bai Zhi loosened its eight legs and started rolling around on the ground, throwing a tantrum: "Mountain Master Holly is deceiving insects! Mountain Master Holly doesn't keep its word! It said it would tell us when we got back, but it won't tell us now!"

"Get up, or I'll hang you up and beat you later."

Bai Zhi rolled on the ground from one end to the other, and then back again, rolling very skillfully, completely ignoring the threat of the Lord of Huzhang Mountain: "I won't get up! The Lord of Huzhang Mountain doesn't keep his word, he's deceiving little spiders. Tomorrow I'll tell the other Flame Spider warriors that the Lord of Huzhang Mountain is an untrustworthy spi...spi..."

Si Ye and Ze Xie watched Bai Zhi's performance art, their eyes flickering with eager light.

This stupid spider. The Lord of Huzhang Mountain suppressed the urge to hang Bai Zhi up and beat him, and compromised: "If you get up, I'll tell you other ways to play with the conch."

"Really?" Bai Zhi nimbly flipped over and stood up, looking at the Lord of Huzhang Mountain with bright eyes.

The other spiders also climbed down from its legs, looking at it expectantly.

"Even if I tell you, you can't play with it tonight."

"Humph..." The little warriors didn't believe it.

"Then I'll be kind and tell you, but you can try it if you don't believe me."

It picked up a large conch and instructed: "As long as you open a small hole at the tip of this conch, and then blow hard on it, you can amplify the original sound more than ten times."

"Really?" The little warriors were dubious.

"We used to play like this." The little Flame Spiders couldn't make sounds, but after being promoted to Force Warriors, their mouths could make some sounds, and they could also make simple calls and cries, but most of them still relied on spider legs tapping the ground and mental thoughts to spread messages.

The little warriors held the conch in front of the Lord of Huzhang Mountain: "Then, Lord of Huzhang Mountain, can you help us open a hole?"

The Lord of Huzhang Mountain snorted twice in retaliation: "Humph, you were threatening me just now, and now you want me to open a hole for you? Go back to the nest and dream about it tonight."

The little warriors were speechless, not expecting the Lord of Huzhang Mountain to be so vindictive.

"Hurry back to sleep. You're not tired after running around all day, but I'm tired. Go to sleep early, and maybe you can ask another spider to help you open a small hole tomorrow." The Lord of Huzhang Mountain was afraid of being pestered by them again if he stayed here, so he disappeared in a few steps.

The other spiders could only reluctantly carry the conch back to their own nests.

Si Ye carried a conch on its back, and also dragged a large conch behind it with spider silk, pulling the conch back to its nest like plowing a field.

Its nest was built under a red bean fir tree on a hillside. It hollowed out a space the size of a watermelon under the tree as a temporary nest, because after learning some basic knowledge, it would have to return to the bottom of the God-Given Clover to rebuild the nest, so this nest was not too big, just suitable for its current size.

Pulling the two conchs to the entrance of the nest, Si Ye was panting with exhaustion. It inherited the wood-type talent, not the strength-type talent. Its physical strength was not as good as that of Du Lai Flame Spider and Zi Cai Flame Spider, only better than that of the White-Legged Flame Spider clan, so it was no wonder that it was so difficult to pull them.

It threw the large conch shell at the entrance of the nest. When it had time to dig a larger nest, it would put the large conch shell in it, and that would be perfect.

As for the smaller conch shell...

When it picked it up before, it was in a hurry to show it off to Bai Zhi, and didn't look at it carefully. Now Si Ye planned to study it carefully. Its body retreated from the conch shell, and it carefully looked at the large conch shell in front of it. Its bottom was very wide, and the opening was fan-shaped, with a total of three spirals. The upper part was sharper towards the top, like an inverted spire. The shell was also covered with strange patterns, which looked somewhat similar to the Force patterns on the God-Given Seed.

At the very tip of the shell, a small piece of the shell seemed to be chipped off. Si Ye squinted its seven eyeballs and peered at it, and found a small hole less than one millimeter at the chipped tip.

Thinking of what the Lord of Huzhang Mountain said about being able to blow a loud sound, it cleared its mouth with its small tentacles, and then supported the conch with four spider legs on the ground, trying to put its mouth on the conch to blow, but maybe because it was too small, its mouth didn't match at all, let alone blow out a sound.

After trying and failing, it could only helplessly climb down the conch again.

"The Lord of Huzhang Mountain said that it can amplify the sound more than ten times. What about mental thoughts? Can mental thoughts also be amplified ten times?" Si Ye wondered about this.

Thinking of this, Si Ye concentrated a mental thought and injected it into the conch, but the mental thought disappeared without a trace after being injected into the conch.

Si Ye was stunned, not understanding what was going on, but what it didn't notice was that in the internal space of the conch, its mental power turned into a four-leaf clover leaf and was imprinted on the inner shell of the conch.

Feeling that something was wrong, it re-condensed an even more powerful mental thought and injected it into the conch again, but this mental thought still disappeared without a trace after entering the conch.

The little warrior's mental power was limited. After sending out two mental thoughts in a row, it was already a little tired, and it had already had enough fun today. Since it couldn't find any problems, it didn't care anymore. At worst, it would ask the Lord of Huzhang Mountain tomorrow. It ran back to the nest, found a comfortable position, and fell into a sweet sleep.

In the depths of the sea, a blue whale cub, not long after being born, emitting Force fluctuations all over its body, was chasing a school of fish when it suddenly heard a horn sound coming from the direction of the coast. This horn sound had a feeling that made the Force in its body boil. It tilted its tail in confusion, and after waiting for a while without hearing the sound again, it thought it was its own illusion and didn't care, and went to chase the school of fish again.
