Natural God's Gift
#212 - Horse weevil beetle
Hearing Siyue's words take a turn, with a 'but,' Hongcha's spirits immediately lifted, and it couldn't help but focus, watching to see what Siyue would say.
What these spiders said before didn't matter; the turning point was the most important thing.
Siyue slowly said, "However, after I evolved into a high-level warrior, I applied to the kingdom for a Giant-Winged Maple Tree seed as my next age's life seed, which I can let you use first."
"Maple tree?" Hongcha searched its inherited memories and quickly found the corresponding plant species, discovering that it was indeed a pretty good one, but it seemed it hadn't heard much about the Giant-Winged Maple?
Siyue took out a small silk pouch from its back carapace, opened it, and showed Hongcha the seed inside: "The Giant-Winged Maple is a top-tier wind-type plant species cultivated by our Flame Spider Kingdom. Compared to ordinary maple trees, the maple seeds it produces are more valuable.
Coming from a high-level warrior's territory, ordinary maple seeds sell for about four to five pieces of primal stone per seed.
The price of Giant-Winged Maple seeds is two pieces of primal stone per seed. The Giant-Winged Maple bears fruit in clusters like grapes, with 10 Giant-Winged Maple seeds on a single stem, and a tree can bear one to four thousand clusters, depending mainly on the production period and management."
After listening to Siyue's introduction, Hongcha excitedly rubbed its claws: "That's really good stuff!"
This Giant-Winged Maple tree is not only expensive and high-yielding but also extremely well-matched to its talent potential. It would be very difficult to find such a good thing on the island.
Just as it was waiting for Siyue to give it the item, it didn't expect Siyue to put it away again.
Siyue said somewhat embarrassedly, "Hongcha, because our Flame Spider Kingdom has relatively strict control over top-tier plant species, if a top-tier plant species is used by another insect race to nurture a life seed, then our Flame Spider merchants must watch from the side as the other party incorporates it into their life sac."
"If you don't mind, after you evolve into a second-age high-level warrior, I will personally deliver it to your claws!"
"Ah?" Hongcha's body stiffened. Were the conditions for use so harsh?
Hongcha said somewhat unhappily, "Boss Siyue, are you teasing me?"
"No, I wouldn't joke about such a thing, because a long time ago, an insect warrior took our kingdom's top-tier plant species and secretly planted it, causing a great disturbance.
Now we have extremely strict control over top-tier plant species. Even for our original Flame Spiders, we can only choose one seed per age for preparation."
Siyue comforted, "Hongcha, don't worry. You still have a long time before you reach the second-age high-level warrior stage. It's not too late to consider this issue when you're about to evolve."
"Alright then." Hearing what Siyue said, although Hongcha was a little dissatisfied, it couldn't say anything. In fact, if Siyue hadn't said these words, and it had gotten the Giant-Winged Maple seed in its claws, it might have really considered planting it during that long period of time. Ignorance is bliss, after all.
All transactions were completed, with Hongcha temporarily owing 13,200 primal stones, to be repaid in the fall.
After the transaction, Siyue and the others didn't leave immediately. They chatted with Hongcha about various things, teaching Hongcha how to manage the territory, how to fertilize, how to effectively produce more primal force food from the life seed, and so on...
Hongcha: "Boss Siyue, Boss Baizhi, are you going back after the transaction is completed?"
Siyue: "We didn't say we'd go back immediately. We're relatively free recently. The Stardust Archipelago is so vast, we also want to look for other insect warriors in the archipelago.
Otherwise, it would be a bit of a waste of time to travel so far just to do business with you."
Siyue asked at the right time, "Hongcha, do you know any other insect warriors?"
Hearing what Siyue said, Hongcha thought to itself, no wonder Siyue only came every three to five years. It turned out they felt it wasn't profitable enough to come here.
This made it feel a little worried. What if they thought they were earning too little here and didn't come in the future?
Hongcha said somewhat hesitantly, "I haven't seen any insect warriors before, but after I advanced to a high-level warrior, I discovered an Armored Weevil warrior about a dozen islands away from here. Its age is relatively low, and it's also very vigilant. I once tried to communicate with it, but it didn't welcome me."
Siyue, Baizhi, and Danggui's eyes lit up when they heard there were other insect warriors: "Where is it located?"
"Hongcha, would you mind taking us there?"
At the same time, they quickly searched their inherited memories for the corresponding Armored Weevil. The Armored Weevil belongs to the weevil family. It is known for its head and beak resembling an elephant's trunk, possessing gold and lightning dual-element talent potential.
Since it had already told Siyue and the others the information, Hongcha wasn't pretentious: "I can take you there, but stay away from it. It's quite fierce."
"It's okay," Siyue said confidently, "Our Flame Spider merchants trade all over the continent. Insect warriors' recognition of us is ingrained in their bones. I believe it will be very happy to know of our arrival. How far is it from here?"
"It's quite far. I have to fly for several hours."
Siyue pondered. Warriors weren't very good at flying, but after becoming high-level warriors, they were definitely not weak. It would take them so long to fly, so it seemed it really was quite far.
Siyue directed, "Danggui, you and Hongcha take a trip. I'll summon Yunshi and come later."
"Okay!" Danggui spread its wings and flew into the sky, beckoning Hongcha to lead the way.
The two insects flew ahead, while Siyue and Baizhi rode Yunshi, hanging far behind.
Looking at the various islands with different shapes that passed by, Baizhi's eyes widened: "Siyue, this Stardust Archipelago is really big enough."
"Of course, it's said to have ten thousand islands here."
Baizhi said excitedly, "Since there's a second insect warrior here, then there will be a third insect warrior, and a fourth insect warrior. Our trade route has great potential!"
"Of course," Siyue also said somewhat proudly, "Although the Stardust Archipelago is a bunch of islands, the total area is several times larger than the kingdom.
In such a large place, there must be many insect warriors. The most important thing is that we have Yunshi, and the speed of traveling is much faster than on land."
"That's right, that's right," Baizhi nodded its whiskers wildly. It seemed to have already seen a road paved with primal stones in front of it.
Yunshi's swimming speed was not as fast as its flying speed, but it was better in terms of endurance. Although it had tried its best to keep up with the two insects, it was still far behind, and could only watch the backs of the two insects disappear.
Fortunately, this didn't matter much. They just needed to know the direction.
Yunshi swam in the sea, heading in one direction. When it swam near a certain island, they saw three insect warriors confronting each other in the sky above the island.
Seeing Siyue and the others arrive, Danggui and Hongcha quickly flew towards their direction.
"Siyue, Baizhi, Yunshi." Danggui landed on Yunshi's back and reported to Siyue: "The other party is a first-age intermediate Armored Weevil, very vigilant. We told it that we were the Flame Spider merchant team,
But maybe because we're not Flame Spiders, it doesn't trust us."
Hongcha pouted, "The other party is a very stubborn insect. I saw it more than a year ago, and it was like this then too."
"Oh," Siyue responded calmly. It didn't say that the two of them shouldn't have provoked the other party to become hostile. It just said, "Danggui, Hongcha, you stay on Yunshi's back.
Baizhi and I will go over and ease the other party's emotions first."
"Alright." Danggui was a little unwilling.
Before Yunshi could get close to the island, Siyue lightly leaped and stepped on the sea surface, rushing towards the island. Most of the primal force food on their back carapaces had already been sold to Hongcha, and the carapaces were quite empty at the moment.
With its wood-type talent potential and the structure of a spider, it was not a problem to walk briefly on the sea surface.
Baizhi also followed behind it, rapidly approaching the island on its spider legs.
As soon as they stepped on the beach, an Armored Weevil warrior with a body size of more than two meters, a gray-black carapace with white spots, and a beak more than half a meter long landed in front of them, constantly using mental thoughts to drive them away.
"Hello," Siyue and Baizhi treated those mental thoughts as nothing, and said with normal expressions: "We are Flame Spider merchants. We are here to help insect warriors evolve smoothly. The Black Cicada warrior and the Age warrior who came before were the vanguard and customers of our merchant team.
Their actions just now were a bit presumptuous. I apologize on their behalf."
"Leave here, leave here!" The Armored Weevil warrior kept releasing angry mental thoughts.
"We are Flame Spider merchants," Baizhi reminded it again, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to be of any use.
Siyue turned slightly and looked at Baizhi. It seemed that the other party was angered by Hongcha and Danggui, and now was not a good time to talk business.
"Okay, Armored Weevil warrior, we will leave now, but please search your inherited memories for information about the Flame Spider merchants. We really are here for trade."
Siyue thought for a while, took out a few silk pouches from its back carapace, and put some Schisandra berries, White Rice Seeds, and other life-type enhanced primal force foods in a small silk pouch.
It threw the silk pouch on the beach without closing it: "This is our first meeting. Here are some life-type primal force foods for you to try. We will go to the neighboring island to rest.
If you calm down, understand the Flame Spider merchants, and are willing to trade with us, you can come to the neighboring island to find us."
After saying that, it and Baizhi stepped into the sea again and left.
They landed on Yunshi's back again, while the Armored Weevil warrior was still flying in the air, watching them from afar.
Hongcha greeted them, somewhat gloating: "Boss Siyue, it won't listen to you either?
I think we should subdue it."
Siyue said lightly, "Our Flame Spider merchants love peace and are here to make friends. We won't make enemies casually. When it calms down, it will come to find us."
Hearing what Siyue said, Hongcha was silent. It was largely to blame for angering the other party.
Siyue said, "Yunshi, let's find a nearby reef to rest."
"Okay," Yunshi slapped its giant tail and turned in a direction to find a reef where they could rest.
