Natural God's Gift

The sky was very dim. Si Ye and Danggui hid inside their nest, observing the wind and rain.

Back then, Lord Qingfeng built the nest inside a mound next to the lucky clover to easily observe its growth, which also applies to Si Ye and Danggui now.

To avoid the rain, the nest's exit was located lower, preventing wind and rain from entering.

Because the kingdom notified them of the typhoon four or five days in advance, Si Ye and the others were well-prepared with various foods, so they wouldn't starve.

Even if the food wasn't enough, it didn't matter. Spiders had strong endurance and could easily survive for ten days to half a month without food.

Danggui: "Si Ye, how long will this typhoon last?"

Si Ye honestly said: "I don't know. This is my first time experiencing a typhoon too."

"I'll take a look at what it's like outside." Danggui carefully crawled to the entrance, poked out a bit of its head, and the torrential rain splattered on its head, almost knocking it senseless.

Danggui retreated back into the nest in a disheveled state.

"How is it?" Si Ye eagerly asked.

"The rain is too heavy, I can't see anything at all." Their mental strength wasn't strong either; they could only sense the situation within a few dozen meters around them.

"Let's rest. There's nothing we can do about the situation outside right now."

"If we reach the Mountain Lord level or even the Lord level, we shouldn't be afraid of typhoons, right?" Although they were very worried about their life seeds, they could only stay in the nest. With their current strength, they would probably be blown away as soon as they went out.

Although the two insects said they were resting, how could they possibly sleep at this time?

Listening to the howling wind and rain, they paced back and forth anxiously inside the nest.

Just then, gusts of wind blew into the nest, scattering various items inside. The silk pouches that Si Ye had piled in the corner, the leaves used to build their small nest, and other lightweight items were blown around everywhere. Along with the strong wind, abundant rainwater also poured into the nest.

"Oh no, the typhoon is blowing into the nest!"

Si Ye was speechless: "Is that even possible?"

Its nest was several meters above the ground, with a rather long passage in between. The entrance was parallel to the ground, making it difficult for wind to enter under normal circumstances, let alone rainwater penetrating into the nest. It didn't expect that with the arrival of the typhoon, rainwater would pour in.

Danggui asked somewhat慌乱ly, "Si Ye, what do we do now?"

"Don't panic," Si Ye wasn't too flustered. It had learned many ways to deal with typhoons in class. It knew that its nest was built relatively high and wouldn't be flooded, at most it would just be soaked by the rain.

Initially, it even thought its nest was built quite high. It didn't expect rainwater to pour in, and it hadn't even sealed the entrance.

Si Ye calmly instructed: "Danggui, you first collect the blown-away silk pouches. I'll use the silk pouches to fill some mud and block the entrance."

With Si Ye's calm command, Danggui also calmed down.

They began to collect the silk pouches again, then filled the silk pouches with mud and piled them up at the entrance. The entrance was once used by Lord Qingfeng for entering and exiting, reaching three to four meters in diameter. Danggui and Si Ye filled medium-sized silk pouches with mud and transported them back and forth to fill the entrance.

Originally, Si Ye thought this nest was quite good, enough for it to live in until it reached the Lord level before expanding it. Now it seemed that this nest wasn't perfect for it.

However, as the two insects were busy digging soil to fill the entrance, their focus on and worry for their life seeds decreased a lot.

In an underground cave within the kingdom, the small Flame Spiders that usually lived on the beaches and in the forests were all hiding here, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

Various different races of spiders gathered here. The massive spider swarm densely covered the entire underground cave, and stifled sounds echoed throughout the cave.

If Danggui came here and saw this dense scene, it would probably get goosebumps again.

In the past, the Flame Spider warriors in the kingdom would eliminate the Flame Spiders' natural enemies in the forest and then let them fend for themselves. But now, the typhoon was too strong, and if they were still allowed to fend for themselves, the losses would be immeasurable.

Inside the cave, besides the ordinary small Flame Spiders, many high-level warriors and Mountain Lord-level warriors were also here. They guarded the small Flame Spiders, preventing rainwater from pouring into the cave and wiping out the hundreds of millions of Flame Spiders.

At this moment, Lord Yin Fou and Lord Qingfeng were also present. They had lived here for hundreds of years and had experienced countless typhoons, so they were very calm in the face of this situation.

They instructed the many high-level Flame Spiders to guard the underground cave, while they themselves led other Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider warriors to patrol the kingdom. If any life seeds couldn't withstand the wind and rain, they would appropriately use their abilities to protect them.

After several Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders and the two Lords walked out of the cave, they dispersed to patrol their territories, ensuring that no Flame Spider warrior was harmed.

Lord Qingfeng walked towards the seaside. This area was its territory. The Flame Spiders rooted as life seeds nearby were all juniors of its lineage, so it would naturally be more concerned.

For example, Si Ye also belonged to its lineage. Therefore, even though Lord Yinxing was the largest spider in the kingdom, it wouldn't often interfere with how Si Ye managed its territory. Si Ye would also go to Mountain Lord Huzhang and Lord Qingfeng if it had any issues.

At this moment, the typhoon was gradually making landfall, and the wind and rain were already very strong. Even Lord-level Flame Spiders had some difficulty walking in the storm. Their eight eyes couldn't open completely, and they completely relied on their mental strength to explore the nearby situation.

In the heavy wind and rain, it patrolled the life seeds and nests of many warriors one by one, reinforcing many life seeds.

When it arrived near Si Ye's nest, it saw Si Ye and Danggui braving the rain to use silk pouches to pile up an embankment. "Si Ye, Danggui!"

"Huh?" The two insects, who were busy in the rain, suddenly saw a large spider shadow approaching in the blurry rain.

"Lord Qingfeng, why are you still outside right now?"

Lord Qingfeng: "The typhoon has made landfall. I need to patrol the kingdom's territory to check the status of everyone's life seeds."

"Oh," so that's how it was.

Si Ye worriedly said: "The wind is so strong, aren't you afraid of being blown away?"

Lord Qingfeng: "I'm a Lord-level warrior. I can't dissipate the typhoon, but walking in the typhoon isn't a big problem."

"Okay," Si Ye didn't understand how powerful the Lord level was, having never experienced it.

Si Ye said: "Lord Qingfeng, have you gone to see my life seeds? Will anything happen to them?"

Lord Qingfeng: "Your and Danggui's life seeds are doing well, there's no major problem."

"What about Baizhi?"

"Baizhi is sleeping in its nest. Its nest is small, and not much wind blows into it."

Si Ye was envious. It seemed that the nest wasn't necessarily better the bigger it was!

Si Ye enthusiastically invited: "Lord Qingfeng, would you like to come in and rest for a while?"

The Green Maple Lord looked at the entrance of their burrow, which was already half-filled, and swayed its antennae: "I still have to inspect the nests and life seeds of other spiders."

I'll help you seal the entrance here so you can get a good night's sleep. After the typhoon passes,

there will surely be a lot of work to do in the territory."

Four-Leaf and Angelica cheered: "Oh, thank you so much, Green Maple Lord!"

The Green Maple Lord directly took out several extra-large silk bags, dug up soil next to the mound, filled the silk bags, and piled them against the entrance, blocking the entire opening in no time.

Four-Leaf, hiding inside the burrow, emitted mental energy in gratitude: "Thank you, Green Maple Lord. After the typhoon passes, I will return the silk bags to you."

"Finally, I can rest for a while." Angelica, having been busy for most of the day, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that its life seed was safe and sound in the storm, and collapsed on the ground, its six limbs limp.

"Let's sleep," Four-Leaf was also exhausted. They didn't bother to clean the mud off their bodies, nor did they want to gather the scattered leaves, and simply collapsed on the ground to rest.

"..." Not knowing how long they had slept, Four-Leaf suddenly woke up from its slumber, a look of surprise on its face.

"What's wrong?" Angelica was also awakened, looking at Four-Leaf with some curiosity.

Four-Leaf ran to the entrance and checked the situation outside through the gaps between the silk bags. Compared to before sleeping, the wind and rain outside had lessened a lot, but it was still very strong.

Angelica also curiously peered through the silk bags to check the situation outside: "The rain has lessened a lot. What's wrong, Four-Leaf?"

Four-Leaf: "I sensed the original force fluctuation of a God-given Seed."

1

"God-given Seed? Lucky Clover?"

"No, it's the original force fluctuation of a new God-given Seed."

Hearing Four-Leaf say this, Angelica immediately became excited: "Where is it? Is it a newly born God-given Seed? 2"

"It was just a momentary fluctuation of original force, and it's very unfamiliar." Although it was just a momentary fluctuation, based on the number of God-given Seeds Four-Leaf had seen and its experience, it could be sure that it wasn't mistaken.

"Ah?" Angelica was somewhat bewildered: "An unfamiliar God-given Seed? Where did it come from?"

Four-Leaf: "Who knows? Maybe it was blown in by the wind."

"I'm going to find it!" At this moment, Angelica didn't care that it was still raining heavily outside and immediately wanted to rush out to find the God-given Seed.

Could a God-given Seed be blown in by the wind? Wouldn't that mean it could also be blown away by the wind? What if it was blown away?

Moreover, Four-Leaf's territory was surrounded by the Green Maple Lord's territory. If it fell into the Green Maple Lord's territory, the God-given Seed would belong to it.

Although the Green Maple Lord was an elder Flame Spider, it still had to take the God-given Seed when the time came. If the God-given Seed landed in the Green Maple Lord's territory, the Green Maple Lord wouldn't say that Four-Leaf was the first to notice it and gift the God-given Seed to it.

As for secretly picking it up, Angelica didn't dare. Privately picking God-given Seeds from other spiders' territories would be considered dishonest and would result in being expelled from the kingdom.

Expulsion from the kingdom meant death. Even the direct descendants of the Green Maple Lord didn't dare to do such a thing, let alone a small cicada like it.

"Don't rush," it was raining so heavily, Angelica couldn't even fly, so how could it find it?

Moreover, Four-Leaf estimated that such a strong wind should have already blown the God-given Seed out of its territory. When the time came, it could tell the Green Maple Lord and maybe even get a reward.

Four-Leaf told Angelica its guess, and Angelica lowered its head in frustration. According to the agreement that Four-Leaf and it had made, if a God-given Seed was obtained within the territory, it could take 20% of the share, which was equivalent to having one or two more ordinary life seeds out of thin air, which was already a lot.

Angelica suggested timidly: "Four-Leaf, why don't you try playing the Sea God Horn?"

Four-Leaf hesitated slightly. It felt that this was unnecessary, but what if?

"I'll try..."

Four-Leaf took out the Sea God Horn. It had used the Sea God Horn many times when searching for God-given Seeds in Twin Peaks, but to no avail. Now might be the best time to use the Sea God Horn.

Angelica stared at Four-Leaf, watching to see if it could find the God-given Seed with the Sea God Horn.

"Moo—" An invisible mental intention emanated from the cave, continuously spreading in all directions.

The mental intention range of an ordinary intermediate warrior was only thirty to fifty meters. After Four-Leaf used the Sea God Horn to amplify its mental intention, it directly covered an area of several hundred meters above and below the mountain.

Under the enormous mental intention, everything nearby was exposed.

"Can you find it?" Angelica thought to itself.

"I found it!" Four-Leaf stopped playing the Sea God Horn, a strong look of strangeness on its face.

"Where is it?"

Four-Leaf's expression was strange: "It feels like it's on the Lucky Clover tree."

"Ah?" Angelica didn't understand what Four-Leaf meant, looking at it blankly.

Four-Leaf: "It looks like it's stuck between the trunks of the Lucky Clover."

"That works too?" Angelica didn't know what to say, but as long as it was in Four-Leaf's territory, it would be easy to handle.

It said excitedly: "Shall I go pick it now?"

"Let's wait for the rain to stop." If we go out now, the bug will be swept away.

Angelica was a little worried: "The God-given Seed won't be blown away, will it?"

"It shouldn't!"

"What kind of God-given Seed is it?"

"We'll know after the rain stops."

Angelica and Four-Leaf couldn't sleep now, and kept checking the rain at the entrance of the cave. After another half a day,

the wind became smaller and smaller.

Four-Leaf and Angelica couldn't wait to dig open the silk bags blocking the entrance and ran to the Lucky Clover God-given Seed tree in the rain to check.

A plum, radiating original force fluctuations, was still attached to a branch and firmly stuck on a branch of the Lucky Clover.

Looking at the shape of the branches and leaves, and the shape of the fruit, Four-Leaf and Angelica searched their inherited memories and immediately learned about the information about this plum.

"Sand Cherry, shrub species, 1-3 meters tall, leaves oval, serrated edges, the effect is hearing enhancement."

"Uh," Four-Leaf and Angelica were a little speechless. Flame Spiders rely on leg hair to sense sound waves, and cicadas rely on abdominal tympanic membranes to receive sound. They can't hear sounds that are too low or too high. This God-given Seed can't be said to be completely useless to them, but it can only be said to be better than nothing.

At this time, Lucky Clover emitted mental energy: "Four-Leaf, why are you out? Has the typhoon passed?"

"It should have passed."

Four-Leaf asked: "Lucky, are you okay?"

"Not good," Lucky Clover said very depressed: "Even if the Ginkgo Lord strengthened my branches, I still lost a lot of branches and leaves."

It noticed that Four-Leaf and Angelica's eyes were on its branches and was surprised to ask: "This branch that blew in during the storm, the fruit on it has original force fluctuations, could this be the God-given Seed?"

"Yes, this is the God-given Seed."
