Natural God's Gift

Returning to this area, the vortex had disappeared, but the sea surface was still steaming with mist. If the currents hadn't carried the seawater, originally boiling from the flowing volcanic lava, away, the temperature here would have reached at least several hundred degrees.

Even so, it was still extremely hot.

Fortunately, everyone present was a high-level warrior, and even without fire-type talents, they could withstand this high temperature.

Angelica flew up to investigate the surroundings. The area was surrounded by clouds and mist, and bubbles containing volcanic ash occasionally emerged from the seabed.

The once colorful seabed was now covered with volcanic ash, and the fish that used to swim and the seaweed that grew there had all been swallowed by the previously formed vortex.

Simply put, the earthquake caused cracks in the seabed plates, and the volcanic lava, originally buried deep in the seabed, leaked out. Fire and water produced a chemical reaction, causing the fish in the nearby waters to be poisoned.

After the cavities of the submarine volcano came into contact with seawater, the seawater first poured in, causing a huge vortex to form on the sea surface. Then, the volcano spewed out volcanic lava, and the volcanic ash that cooled after the lava covered dozens of miles of surrounding sea, causing the area to look gray.

In fact, volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts often occur in the Star Realm. According to the historical records of the Flame Spider Kingdom, these kinds of things happen more frequently in the early and late stages of each Force Cycle.

There are two theories within the kingdom. One theory is that, in the late stage, the Star Realm loses the protection of the Force Barrier, and various celestial bodies in the universe will fall down, and the fixed plates of the Star Realm will also become abnormal, causing the entire continent to be turbulent.

Another theory is that the Natural True God intentionally adjusts the landforms and resources of the continent, so that the Star Realm can continuously produce various mineral resources and change the Star Realm's format.

Otherwise, after a cycle of eighteen thousand years, and countless Force Cycles, no matter how rich the resources in the Star Realm are, they would be emptied by the Zerg warriors. ①

Everyone has different opinions on these two theories, but the fact that changes between continental plates will produce many special resources is a fact that the Flame Spiders default to and will not change.

That's why Siyue is so sure that there is a possibility of special resources being produced here.

Yunshi swayed its tail up and down to keep itself suspended: "Siyue, are we going down? This volcanic ash makes me a little uncomfortable."

Siyue: "It seems that this place has not completely settled yet. Yunshi, do you remember the direction? We can wait until this place returns to calm before coming over to see if we can find anything of value."

Yunshi shook its head: "I determine my direction based on the sea currents. Now that the sea currents are chaotic, I can't determine the direction either."

"Okay," Siyue said helplessly. Although this sea area does not belong to the deep sea area, it is still hundreds of meters deep.

Except for Yunshi, the other insects present cannot go that deep.

Angelica has water-type talent potential and may be able to go down for a short time, but I estimate it won't last long.

"Let's go back to the previous island first and wait a while!" Anyway, after the transaction in Yinmei Continent is completed, they have nothing else to do for the time being, even if they stay in the vicinity for a few months, it doesn't matter.

In fact, not only Siyue, but also Bai Zhi and Angelica are curious about what valuable minerals can be produced by underwater volcanic eruptions.

In the following period of time, Siyue and Angelica lived on this unknown island. Although they were on the island, it would not delay their own evolution by eating Force food.

Siyue has a complete supply of Force food, including God-given Force food, and only needs to eat normally to evolve.

Although Bai Zhi and Angelica traded most of their Force food to the Zerg warriors in Yinmei Continent, they also exchanged a lot of Force food that is more common there.

Perhaps there is a lack of strength-type and spirit-type Force food, but it doesn't matter. They can eat life-type and wood-type Force food first, and then replenish the strength-type and spirit-type Force food after returning to the kingdom.

On the island, Siyue eats Force food every day according to the plan, consolidating its evolution speed. Angelica and the others are also eating Force food in order to evolve.

Yunshi wanders around the surrounding sea, trying to remember the location of the nearby sea area based on its memory, to see if there will be a chance to come again in the future.

In the following days, everyone settled down here. Angelica would fly to the sea area where the vortex had previously occurred every few days to check.

If the seawater became clearer, it would occasionally go into the water to check, looking for anything useful.

After going into the water many times, it did find a lot of messy things.

The things were very mixed and messy, including pitted stones, decaying wood, and unknown seaweed.

Overall, it was just a pile of garbage.

It took these things to Siyue for viewing: "Siyue, take a look to see if there is anything useful in these things?"

Siyue did not dislike this pile of things, but carefully searched through them. After a volcanic eruption, the things left behind are always disorganized.

If they really want to find good things, they still have to search from this pile of garbage. Fortunately, even if they can't find good things, they won't have any losses.

Siyue picked up a piece of seaweed: "This is just ordinary seaweed. It only looks different because it's withered. It's worthless."

It picked up a piece of black ore: "Iron ore? It should have been filtered by the volcano. The iron content is very high, but it's still not worth much money."

"What about this?" Angelica took the initiative to hand a piece of light yellow metal ore to Siyue's claws.

Siyue picked it up and looked at it: "This looks like gold ore."

It tapped it with its forefoot and saw the small marks on it, and said with satisfaction: "This should be gold ore. Looking at the weight, it should be worth three or five Origin Stones. It's a pity that I don't have a metal-type talent, otherwise I could condense it into a golden bead, which would be easier to take back."

Hearing that it was gold, Angelica immediately became happy. Of course, it doesn't lack these Origin Stones now, but its hard work has been rewarded, which is enough to make the insect happy.

"I'll go find some more. And recently, I've seen the sea surface gradually clear up, and the bottom should have returned to calm."

"Is that so? Then maybe we can call Yunshi back and explore together." It's nothing to have Angelica search underwater little by little. How long would it take to search such a large area, three or five years?

It directly summoned Yunshi back, stood on Yunshi's back, and blew the Sea God Horn. With its mental power amplified, the search speed was no slower than radar.

"Okay, I'll go find Yunshi. I saw it yesterday, it should be in this area."

Not long after, Angelica brought Cloudberry back. Cloudberry asked curiously, "Four-Leaf, are we going to start searching for treasure in the sea?"

Four-Leaf said, "The seawater nearby is a bit clearer now, right? If it's possible, we can go search for a bit. After all, we've been here for more than two months, and it's time to return to the kingdom."

Cloudberry exposed its back to the water surface: "Then let's go!"

Four-Leaf said, "Don't rush. Bai Zhi and I made a big raft together. Cloudberry, can you drag us along?"

Just then, Bai Zhi dragged a crude raft tied with spider silk rope from the forest. The raft was really crude. The leaves in some places weren't even trimmed clean, and the wood was crooked. Not a single piece was straight. There was no other way. The conditions on the island were like this, so Four-Leaf and the others could only make do.

"Okay," Cloudberry agreed, even though it felt that making the raft was a bit unnecessary.

It had Four-Leaf tie the spider silk rope to the base of its fins, and it dragged the raft with its upper body. This way, it wouldn't affect the constant swaying of its tail fins when it swam.

Before long, Cloudberry dragged the raft to the previous sea area.

At this moment, the sea area had returned to calm. The surrounding seawater was no longer as hot as before, and fish swam from afar, looking for food here.

Seeing the current appearance of the sea area, they believed that it wouldn't be long before a new marine ecological environment would be formed here again. This was the greatness of the Star Realm and the God of Nature.

After arriving at this sea area, Bai Zhi untied the spider silk rope connecting her to Cloudberry's body, letting the raft rise and fall freely in the sea.

Before Cloudberry could show a puzzled look, Four-Leaf stood on the raft and assigned tasks to the insects: "Cloudberry, I'll stand on the raft and blow the Sea God Horn. After sensing a special object, you and Angelica will go down to search.

Your Primal Energy is relatively large, and you are an aquatic creature, so you can stay down there longer. Angelica can bring up what you find."

"Bai Zhi, you control the direction of the raft, and don't let it fall apart or drift away."

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.

Four-Leaf took out the Sea God Horn and played it. After her mental power was strengthened by the Sea God Horn, it scanned the surrounding area like a radar.

Even in places three to four hundred meters deep underwater, she could still sense the location and appearance of the things below. Even if some things were deeply buried in the sea mud, she could still detect them.

After a scan with her mental power, Four-Leaf began to guide Angelica and Cloudberry: "Starting from the raft, there is a stone twenty meters underwater to the left front. It looks a bit strange. Most of the stone is surrounded by sea mud. Go down and look for it to see if you can find it.

In the southwest direction, there is a metal block, which may also be gold. It is quite valuable and can be picked up.

There is also a piece of dead wood in the west direction. Although it is useless, let's bring it up and take a look!"

After listening to Four-Leaf's words, Cloudberry slowly sank into the water, and Angelica followed closely to find the items marked by Four-Leaf.

In the following time, they kept swimming back and forth between these whirlpool locations, constantly running back and forth between underwater and above water, looking for things that might be worth some money.

After searching for half a month, Four-Leaf and the others really found some good things.

On the raft, several items were placed in front of Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi: a small pile of colored gemstones, mostly fire-red, but also a few pieces that were blue and earth-yellow. There were more than a dozen pieces, the large ones the size of cantaloupes, and the small ones only the size of dates.

There were also several irregular ores of various kinds, some scattered raw stones. These were all items salvaged in the past half month. After all, it was a volcano, so naturally there were the most ores, and there were very few other things.

These things seemed a bit ordinary, but each one exuded Primal Energy fluctuations, showing that they were not ordinary.

Angelica and Cloudberry were still searching for items below, while Four-Leaf and Bai Zhi were chatting above.

Bai Zhi asked, "Four-Leaf, how are you going to divide these things?"

Four-Leaf didn't think too much and said, "Didn't we say before that the things earned from the merchant trade would be divided equally among the five insect beasts?"

Bai Zhi said directly, "Can we convert some of the things they don't need into Primal Stones for them? I want the ruby with Fire-attribute Primal Energy."

Four-Leaf picked and chose among them: "Since they don't want some things, naturally they can be converted.

Ruby is a Fire-attribute Primal Stone, and it is very beneficial for both Fire-attribute Insectoid warriors and Fire-attribute Fated Species to absorb.

Bai Zhi, we both have God-Given Rapeseed Flowers, a Fire-attribute God-Given Fated Species, so we can take it back for them to use."

"Also, there are sapphires. We'll ask Xuan Yu Mountain Lord if they want them and sell them to them. The yellow gemstones will be left for my own God-Given Mesua Ferrea tree to use."

"Then what about these metals?" Bai Zhi held up a piece of metal with both feet. This metal had faint Primal Energy fluctuations, and it was a rare Primal Energy metal.

According to the elders, the existences on the Starships classified Primal Energy metals into four grades: A, B, C, and D. The most valuable was D-grade metal. Legend has it that weapons forged from it could even split Starships.

However, in the Star Realm, they seemed to have only seen A-grade metal, which was ranked first. Even so, they were very happy. A-grade metal was extremely valuable, and weapons forged from it even cost tens of thousands of Primal Stones. These Primal Energy metals they collected might not be enough to forge a longsword, but they could still forge a shortsword.

"We'll take these metals back to the kingdom and have Lord Green Maple and the others test them to see how much the total value is.

Then we'll distribute them according to the number of insects."

"That's fine too. Let's see if Angelica and Cloudberry can salvage more Primal Energy metals. If there is enough, we'll ask the Lord of the Purple Flame Spider Tribe to make a sword for us."

"We'll talk about it then!"

Just then, Cloudberry and Angelica floated to the surface together. Angelica said excitedly, "Four-Leaf, we seem to have really found something good!"

"Oh? What is it?" Four-Leaf was a little strange. She had scanned the surrounding area with her mental power, but she hadn't found anything good. What had Angelica and the others found?

Angelica said, "I saw a ball of fire!"

"Fire?" Hearing Angelica's words, Four-Leaf was stunned.

"Yes, a very special flame. Even if you scan it with mental power in the sea, you still can't detect it, but we did see its existence."

Angelica said, "That flame has no temperature, but it is very terrifying. I poked it with a piece of seaweed, and it didn't react at all, but the seaweed turned directly into ashes."

It said with some lingering fear, "Fortunately, I didn't use my antennae to poke it, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been burned to ashes too. Four-Leaf, is this the special item you were talking about?"
