Natural God's Gift

After the arrangements were completed, Si Ye also chatted with Zimu, teaching it some knowledge that was not in its inherited memories. However, it felt that Zimu was not as clever as Hongcha. Hongcha was much smarter and could infer many things from one example.

It wasn't that the dumber the trading partner, the better. Many who were dull and foolish were fine, but some stupid bugs thought they were clever and did things that made both sides unhappy.

The Flame Spider merchant had an old saying: 'A qualified trade is a single win, a perfect trade is a win-win, and try to avoid a lose-lose situation!'

Si Ye had learned all kinds of knowledge in the kingdom for two or three years, and many mountain lords and lords had taught it by example at all times.

Naturally, it was impossible to teach them all of this immediately, but methods such as selecting life seeds, planting life seeds, and managing life seeds could be taught to it.

For example, they could capture animals, kill them to fertilize the life seeds, use bird droppings to fertilize, use swamp water to fertilize, and properly thin out flowers and fruits for the life seeds.

Zimu held a silk bag in its claws, nodding its antennae repeatedly as it listened. Si Ye was teaching it things related to life seeds, and it also wanted its life seeds to produce more primal force food. Now it was a bug in debt, and more output from the life seeds would allow it to repay its debts as soon as possible.

After Si Ye taught it for a while, it knew that since it had primal force food, it would definitely want to eat it as soon as possible, so it didn't keep it and waved its forelegs to let it leave.

After sending Zimu away, it went to the island to find Baizhi.

It found Baizhi in the forest, examining the fruits among the bushes, and said with interest, "How is it? Did you find the God-given Seed?"

Baizhi was not discouraged, and smacked its lips, saying, "God-given Seeds are too difficult to find."

"That's for sure." The number of God-given Seeds was originally small, and their birth was uncertain, and no pattern could be found.

According to Si Ye's experience, God-given Seeds were easier to find during the flowering period, because they were newly born and absorbed primal force at a slightly faster rate, making the commotion relatively large.

Secondly, it was the fruit ripening period, when they would also absorb a large amount of natural primal force, but this stage was relatively short, and it was difficult for insect warriors to encounter it by chance.

During the usual green fruit period, the rate at which God-given Seeds absorbed primal force was very slow. Even if high-level insect warriors scanned with their mental power, it would be difficult to detect their existence due to the interference of the natural primal force in the primal force star realm.

Unless you had an accurate target and anchored the location of the God-given Seed from the very beginning.

Si Ye wasn't bragging, it dared not say anything else, but in terms of experience with God-given Seeds, it could say that no insect in the star realm could compare.

It grew up under the God-given Flower since it was young, and was extremely sensitive to God-given Seeds, and also had many God-given Life Seeds to refer to.

Even Ginkgo Lord and the other five Flame Spider Lords, who had received countless cycles of experience from the Flame Spider Kingdom, could not compare to it.

Don't forget, the kingdom also taught it the experience about God-given Seeds that Ginkgo Lord had learned.

As for Qingfeng Lord, the less said the better...

Si Ye said, "Have you searched the entire island? If you've searched it, we'll go to the next island."

Baizhi: "Aren't we waiting for that Armored Elephant Beetle warrior? Or has it already been here?"

Si Ye: "It's been here, I gave it primal force food worth two thousand primal stones."

"So much?" Baizhi was a little surprised, and then it reacted: "You're subsidizing it with your own primal force food?"

Si Ye explained softly: "It's already very old, and if it doesn't evolve into an advanced warrior soon, I'm afraid it will never have another chance."

Baizhi was silent. Primal force warriors, like God-given Seeds, were gifts from the Natural True God. Although they couldn't provide primal force food for free to help them grow, they couldn't just coldly watch them die.

Without harming their own interests, it was okay to invest and help a little as much as possible.

"How much primal force food does the caravan still have?"

Si Ye looked at the silk bag: "There's only wood-type primal force food worth fifteen hundred primal stones left."

"That's not bad." Baizhi remembered that the Ziyun Caravan only brought tens of thousands of primal force food for sale when they went out to trade, but at that time it was because Ziyun Mountain Lord used a lot of resources during the evolution age, and the two could not be compared.

Baizhi said, "Are we leaving now?"

"Have you found any tree species that are not recorded in the inherited memories? Or high-quality ore? If not, let's go." New tree species that are not recorded in the inherited memories are very likely to be bestowed by the Natural God as God-given Seeds. This can also be regarded as a shortcut to obtain God-given Seeds.

In addition to searching for new tree species not recorded in the inherited memories, you can also look for some slightly mutated species, bring them back for grafting and hybridization, and it is possible to give birth to new tree species, thereby obtaining God-given Seeds.

If there is ore, then that is another gain.

"Let's go, let's go."

Baizhi muttered: "Si Ye, shouldn't we build a boat?"

Si Ye was a little strange: "What are you building a boat for?"

"I just feel that Yunshi's back is a bit small. It also likes to dive. Although we are not afraid of water, the primal force food on our carapace cannot get wet. Wouldn't it be safer to build a boat to carry the primal force food?" Although silk bags are waterproof and fireproof, they can't be tested for water resistance all the time. Soaking in water for many years will also reduce their lifespan.

The silk bags woven by a Flame Spider Lord of their Flame Spider Kingdom can be used for thirty years to ensure that the primal force will not leak, while the silk bags used by Dragon Beard Lord can only be used for one year before they have to be replaced.

If the silk bag is not sealed properly, the primal force food will be ruined.

Si Ye thought carefully. Actually, it's okay now. They can still stand firmly on Yunshi's back. It's just that it has to stand firm when Yunshi swings its body. A boat would indeed be better.

At that time, they can use silk thread to weave silk ropes and tie them to Yunshi's back, letting it pull them along, and the speed will not be too slow.

"We don't know how to build boats. Boss Xiaoji is better at these things. When the time comes, we'll see how big a boat we want to build and ask him for the price."

"Okay, it probably won't be cheap." Most of these things imitating extraterrestrial civilizations have to be made by Mountain Lord-level Flame Spiders, and the process is quite troublesome.

Yunshi had been playing near the island waiting for them. Si Ye didn't need it to get close to the island. It could just step on the waves and go find it.

With Yunshi's current size, it couldn't get close to the island anyway. Its huge body would probably run aground before it got close to the island. Although it wouldn't die from running aground with its current realm, it was indeed a bit inconvenient.

Speaking of which, building a boat is indeed quite necessary.

They returned to Yunshi's back, guiding it to go in the direction that Danggui left.

Their caravan's exploration of the islands didn't mean that passing by was considered a good exploration.

They first let Danggui roughly search the island to see if there were any insect warriors. If there were, that would be the best, but they wouldn't give up casually if there weren't.

Even if there were no insect warriors, they would also search for unique tree species isolated from the world, and also see if there were any God-given Seeds being nurtured, or wild God-given Seeds that had already taken root and sprouted.

In addition to these things, there were other things that were also worth searching for. Cheaper ones included various metal ores, which could be collected and sold for some primal stones.

Valuable items like raw stones and Origin Force gems can bring immense wealth if a vein is discovered.

Additionally, there are God-given items of various elements, such as Dragon Scale Soil. Finding one or two deposits would be more profitable than decades of hard work as traveling merchants.

The total land area of the Star Sand Archipelago adds up to hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, scattered across the ocean like stars.

Within the Star Sand Archipelago, if the ocean area is included, the overall area is dozens of times larger than the Flame Spider Kingdom.

Relying solely on a few spiders to search, they wouldn't be able to complete the search from the early to the late stages of the Origin Force cycle.

They aren't greedy, only searching the surface of the islands, examining the soil and roughly observing the tree species.

Although this inspection method slows down their traveling merchant speed, the advantage is that after inspecting once, they know the approximate mineral resources here. As long as they don't expect the birth of God-given species on the island, they won't need to come a second time.

Anyway, Dang Gui is going to find Zerg warriors, so it won't delay the opening of trade routes. The two of them can stay behind and take it easy.

With Dang Gui charging ahead, they can relax and lie flat in the back.

In the following time, they had nothing else to do. Then, Dang Gui charged forward, and they slowly took over the territory. Each spider chose an island to explore the geology, mineral resources, and ecological environment.

After Dang Gui planted fifty flags, it could slow down and slowly search from the terminal.

Three insects exploring at three times the speed can save a lot of time.

They also don't need to worry about Dang Gui's safety. In the past, when Dang Gui was a mid-level warrior, there were still many animals in nature that could compete with it.

Now that it has advanced to a high-level warrior, it can basically crush ordinary animals in the Star Realm. Even the most ferocious birds of prey in the Origin Force Star Realm are just a dish in front of a high-level warrior.

Apart from Zerg warriors, it has no opponents.

If it really encounters Zerg warriors, it's not afraid either. On this kind of archipelago, there are very few insects that become mountain lords without relying on Flame Spider traveling merchants.

Even if there are, Dang Gui is not stupid and will not take the initiative to provoke them.

Besides, it can fly away if it can't beat them. As long as it joins up with Si Ye and the others, they will have everything they need on land, sea, and air, and they can cope with most crises.

A group of insects searched the Star Sand Archipelago for two or three months, and the progress was not fast. It took Si Ye 10 days to search an island of 20 square kilometers.

Dang Gui and Bai Zhi were even slower, taking fifteen days to search an island of about the same area.

Three months passed, and the three insects had searched only twenty islands, large and small.

Seeing that the time was almost October, they also gathered together to exchange their discoveries.

They chose a flat island to gather on. The island was not large, only three or four square kilometers.

Moreover, it was extremely barren, with only reeds and salt-tolerant plants growing.

Si Ye and Bai Zhi stood on the beach waiting for Dang Gui. Before long, Dang Gui flew over from the distant sea.

Dang Gui greeted the two spiders happily before landing: "Si Ye, Bai Zhi, I'm back!"

"Dang Gui," the two spiders also greeted each other.

Dang Gui: "Are you planning to go back?"

Si Ye: "It's already September now, and in another month or so, it will be the autumn harvest season. I don't know if Ai Hao is too busy?"

Although they had planned to let Ai Hao complete the work of the territory, they were still a little worried when the time came. If the production of Life Seeds was not harvested properly, the Origin Force food they earned here would not be enough to cover the losses.

"Then let's go back," anyway, the matter here is not urgent.

"Okay." Si Ye asked: "Dang Gui, have you seen any Zerg warriors or God-given species on so many islands you've flown over?"

Dang Gui's antennae swayed. If it had seen a Zerg warrior or a God-given species, it would have reported it long ago.

"So many islands, and not a single Zerg warrior?" Si Ye was a little disappointed. The probability of giving birth to Zerg warriors was too low, right? Even in the Fang Clan Continent, so much area would produce a few Zerg warriors over the years.

Dang Gui said with some seriousness: "I found that there are a lot of seabirds on the islands here. There are tens of thousands of seabirds on one island, and the entire island is covered with bird droppings. This may also be one of the reasons why Zerg warriors are rare."

Si Ye looked up. Indeed, she could see many seabirds circling in the sky. If this were in the Flame Spider Kingdom, these seabirds would have been hunted long ago.

In the Star Realm, although the Flame Spiders advocate peaceful coexistence between Origin Force warriors, ordinary animals in the Star Realm will still follow their instincts and implement the principle of the survival of the fittest, where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp.

With so many birds on these islands, there will naturally be fewer insects. Even if an insect awakens its Origin Force and becomes a Zerg warrior, it is no different from an ordinary little insect in the early stages of evolution, and it will easily be preyed on by seabirds.

Si Ye sighed softly. There was nothing she could do about this situation. No wonder Flame Spider traveling merchants didn't like to come here. There were too few insects: "Maybe we can change direction next year and see if there are any Zerg warriors on other islands."

She then asked: "Besides these, what other discoveries have you made?"

Bai Zhi unfastened the silk pouch on her carapace and took out a few pieces of ore from it: "I found an iron mine on an island, and it's quite large. There's also a copper mine, and there's also associated gold and silver in the copper mine."

"Oh, let's mark this first and talk about it when we become stronger in the future!" Si Ye swayed her antennae gently. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and other situations often erupt on the ocean, and various minerals will be squeezed out of the earth's crust.

These mineral veins are still valuable.

It's a pity that they are neither Watanabe Flame Spiders nor Zicai Flame Spiders. If she were a Watanabe Flame Spider, she could control the earth and stone to dig out the ore. If she were a Zicai Flame Spider, she could also refine the ore to form real gold, silver, copper, and iron to take back.

Dang Gui also took out a few pieces of ore and leaves from the silk pouch on his carapace: "I also found a few pieces of iron ore. I found that there are quite a lot of iron mines in this ocean.

Besides that, I also found several slightly mutated tree species. See if they are useful."

Si Ye picked up the leaves and checked them. She found that they were leaves of several small shrubs, and the mutation was only a slight change in the shape of the leaves.

She immediately made a judgment that they were not worth cultivating.

Dang Gui: "I originally wanted to go deeper into the Star Sand Archipelago, but the direction leading to the interior of the Star Sand Archipelago was blocked by endless water mist that obscured my vision and mental thoughts.

Even if I have water-based talent potential, it is still very difficult to fly in it."

"Water mist?" Si Ye and Bai Zhi were a little confused and didn't understand what Dang Gui meant by "very large."

"Some islands deep in the Star Sand Archipelago are very large, and it is indeed very likely that Zerg warriors will be born, but there are also some natural dangers involved. Let's explore slowly."

Opening up trade routes requires a long time to continue, and they are not in a hurry.
