Natural God's Gift
#48 - Really. Hang him up and beat him
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master had been very busy lately, so busy that it was utterly exhausted. The five Flame Spider warrior troops had gone out to trade, leaving all the little Flame Spiders for them to take care of.
These six troops of Flame Spiders, including the original Flame Spiders, had a total of over a hundred million little spiders. Relying on the original Flame Spiders' insect claws was simply not enough. Recently, whether it was intermediate Flame Spider warriors or advanced Flame Spider warriors, Mountain Master-level, or Lord-level Flame Spiders, they were all taking on the task of feeding the little Flame Spiders.
Because of this, it had even entrusted the newly sprouted morning glory divine seed to intermediate little warriors like Bouncing Bet to guard.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time doing this task. As long as they got through these busy days, they could just drive them to the beach to forage for food every day. Although the workload was still much greater than in winter, after this period, it finally had some free time to spare.
"There are still too few spiders," the Tiger Totem Mountain Master sighed, after driving all the little Flame Spiders to the beach to hunt for food themselves, leaving Bouncing Bet and Cocklebur to watch over them. Their original Flame Spider tribe had two Lord-level Flame Spiders, five Mountain Master-level Flame Spiders, twenty-odd advanced Flame Spiders, and nearly thirty or forty intermediate Flame Spiders, but facing a spider swarm of hundreds of millions was still a drop in the bucket.
As for the primary little warriors, it was good enough if they didn't cause trouble.
It was said that during the peak of the Flame Spider Kingdom, there were so many insects that each spider only needed to take care of hundreds of thousands of little Flame Spiders. How long would it take to restore the prosperity of the Flame Spider Kingdom at its peak?
Speaking of which, it hadn't seen that group of little fellows for several days. It had to go see if they had caused any trouble.
It leisurely moved its eight spider legs back to the Hundred Fruit Forest. In the spring, the Hundred Fruit Forest was in full bloom, filled with greenery, and the mountains and fields were covered with bees and butterflies collecting honey.
When it returned, a group of little warriors were chasing the flying butterflies everywhere. Several spiders were even mischievously stacking on top of each other to increase their height to chase after them.
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master spread its mental energy and shouted, "Little ones, stop playing and gather."
"It's the Tiger Totem Mountain Master."
"The Tiger Totem Mountain Master is here."
"Tiger Totem Mountain Master."
The little warriors dropped the toys in their claws and rushed over to surround the Tiger Totem Mountain Master. Although they were usually mischievous and liked to go against the Tiger Totem Mountain Master, they also missed it after not seeing it for so many days.
"Haha, you've all gone crazy playing these past few days without a spider to supervise you, right?" The Tiger Totem Mountain Master counted the little spider heads present. There should have been twelve spiders, but now there were only five or six. Bouncing Bet had been promoted to an intermediate warrior to replace it in guarding the morning glory divine seed, so where were the other five or six? Where had the other spiders gone?
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master looked around: "Where's Sweet Potato Vine? Where's Water Plantain? Sow Thistle, Angelica, Four Leaf, where have they all gone?"
The little warriors complained: "Sweet Potato Vine is sleeping in. Sweet Potato Vine is a lazy spider."
"Water Plantain seems to have gone to play with Bouncing Bet these past few days, and Sow Thistle is with him."
Tiger Totem Mountain Master: "Then where are Angelica and Four Leaf?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen them for many days."
Bouncing Back: "I didn't see them."
Stonecrop: "I haven't seen them for six or seven days either."
"We haven't seen them."
"Then where could they have run off to?"
"Ah," suddenly a little warrior boldly guessed: "Could they have been snatched away by birds?"
"Shut up,"
"You jinx, don't talk nonsense..." The little warriors angrily reprimanded.
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel," for some reason, the Tiger Totem Mountain Master had a bad feeling in its heart: "Have none of you seen Angelica and Four Leaf? Where did you see them last?"
"I seem to have seen them with Water Plantain."
"I saw them too."
Hearing this, the Tiger Totem Mountain Master decisively said: "Wake up Sweet Potato Vine, we'll go find Water Plantain and the others."
A group of little spiders climbed onto the Tiger Totem Mountain Master's back carapace, and it carried them quickly towards the beach.
...
Under the morning glory divine seed, Bouncing Bet guarded in front of the spider silk shed that protected against birds and beasts, facing two little mischievous spiders with rolling eyes.
Sow Thistle got close to Bouncing Bet, trying to curry favor: "Bouncing Bet, we're good friends, right?"
Bouncing Bet glanced at it sideways: "No! I don't want to be friends with stupid spiders."
"Bouncing Bet, you..." Sow Thistle was a little annoyed.
"What?" Bouncing Bet waved its claws: "Are you not convinced? Do you want to fight me?"
"No, no," Sow Thistle said sheepishly: "I'm not a stupid spider like Angelica, wanting to fight with everyone."
Sow Thistle retreated, and Water Plantain came up to beg bitterly: "Bouncing Bet, just open the spider silk shed for us to take a look, we haven't seen the morning glory divine seed before. Anyway, this is Four Leaf's divine seed. If Four Leaf was here, she would definitely let us see it."
"No way," Bouncing Bet firmly refused: "The Tiger Totem Mountain Master told me to guard here, so I have to stay here and watch. No one can come in."
Seeing that begging didn't work, Water Plantain switched to temptation: "Don't you want to see? See how it's growing?"
"Don't want to." Bouncing Bet was already a big spider, and it could resist any temptation.
Water Plantain: "..."
It was also very troubled by the stubborn Bouncing Bet.
"Water Plantain," just then, the Tiger Totem Mountain Master led the other little spiders over menacingly.
"Ah, the Tiger Totem Mountain Master is here, run!" As soon as Water Plantain saw the menacing appearance of the Tiger Totem Mountain Master, it felt a guilty conscience and instinctively ran away quickly.
"Run..." Seeing Water Plantain running away, Sow Thistle also quickly followed behind it, but after only a few steps, it stopped its eight legs in confusion: "The Tiger Totem Mountain Master is here, so what? Why am I running?"
"Water Plantain, you still dare to run?" It would have been fine if Water Plantain hadn't run, but as soon as it ran, the Tiger Totem Mountain Master realized there was a problem. From far away, it manipulated a spider silk rope to firmly tie up the fleeing Water Plantain.
"Water Plantain," the Tiger Totem Mountain Master walked up to the tied-up little warrior, picked it up, and glared at it with a death stare: "Where are Angelica and Four Leaf?"
Water Plantain was hung upside down, its two little antennae waving frantically: "I don't know, I don't know, little spider doesn't know anything."
Tiger Totem Mountain Master: "Not knowing is knowing. Quickly tell me where they went? Otherwise, I'll whip you to death."
Water Plantain panicked, its eight legs tied by spider silk, hanging in the air, arching up and down: "Can't say, Angelica and Four Leaf made me promise not to tell you."
"You really know? If you don't tell me, I'm going to hit you." The Tiger Totem Mountain Master was furious. It pulled out a spider silk rope, eager to try.
Seeing the spider silk rope, Water Plantain screamed in horror, emitting mental energy: "Help, murder spider, Ginkgo Lord, Maple Lord, Octagonal Mountain Master, where are you? The Tiger Totem Mountain Master is going to kill little spiders, save me..."
"Still dare to shout? You're getting bolder and bolder. I haven't kept an eye on you for a few days, and now I can't even find the spiders. I'll whip you to death."
The other little spiders huddled together, trembling, seeing the Tiger Totem Mountain Master losing its temper.
"The Tiger Totem Mountain Master is so scary."
"I'll never dare to say bad things about the Tiger Totem Mountain Master again."
"I've never said bad things about the Tiger Totem Mountain Master."
"Tiger Totem," the powerful mental energy of the Maple Lord came over: "What are you doing?"
"Maple Lord," the Tiger Totem Mountain Master spread its mental energy in response: "Four Leaf and Angelica are missing. I suspect they ran out of the kingdom with the trade caravan."
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master wasn't stupid. Hearing the little warriors say that they hadn't seen the spiders for seven or eight days, and seeing Water Plantain's appearance, it could guess the general idea with a little thought. Moreover, based on its understanding of Four Leaf and Angelica, they were likely running with the Violet Cloud trade caravan. It just didn't know why the Violet Cloud trade caravan would be willing to take two little spiders with them?
"Four Leaf is missing?" Hearing the Tiger Totem Mountain Master's words, the Maple Lord's heart tightened. It used its ability to teleport from Lucky Clover's side to the Tiger Totem Mountain Master's front in an instant.
The Maple Lord said dissatisfied: "What's going on? Can't even watch a few little warriors properly?"
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master said shamefully: "I've been taking care of the five troops of little Flame Spiders these past few days, so I haven't paid much attention to the little warriors here. By the time I freed up my claws, I found that Four Leaf and the others had been missing for many days. I'm asking Water Plantain where they went now."
The Maple Lord looked at Water Plantain, who was being hung up by the Tiger Totem Mountain Master: "Little Water Plantain, do you know where Four Leaf and the others ran off to?"
Water Plantain covered its mouth with its two little antennae: "I guarantee with a spider's honor that I promised Angelica not to say."
The Maple Lord had a headache. Why did the quality of this generation of spiders seem to be a bit poor?
It didn't dwell on whether Water Plantain would say it or not, and changed the way it asked: "Then I'll ask you, nodding or shaking your head doesn't count as you saying it, right? Is that okay?"
"This..." Water Plantain hesitated.
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master couldn't bear it anymore. It manipulated the spider silk rope and whipped it through the air, making cracking sounds: "Maple Lord, let me whip it first before we talk."
"I promise, I promise," the little spider Water Plantain was about to cry in fear. If that spider silk rope whipped it, it would break it.
The Maple Lord softened its tone: "Did Four Leaf and Angelica leave the kingdom?"
Water Plantain nodded its little head frantically while being hung upside down.
"Did they go out with the Violet Cloud trade caravan?"
Water Plantain continued to nod.
"Did the Violet Cloud trade caravan invite them?"
Water Plantain shook its head.
The Maple Lord was stunned: "If the Violet Cloud trade caravan didn't invite them, then how did they run out?"
Water Plantain couldn't help but say: "Angelica didn't say to keep this a secret. They took a golden teapot from Xuan Yu and hid in the teapot to get out."
The Maple Lord suddenly understood. Indeed, the little spiders were so small that they could hide anywhere.
"What did they run out to do?"
Anyway, since the Maple Lord and the others knew, it didn't count as it leaking the secret: "Angelica said that Four Leaf has three divine seeds, and they're going out to find divine seeds."
The Tiger Totem Mountain Master was furious: "Nonsense, does it think divine seeds are weeds by the roadside? That they can be found just by looking?\nMaple Lord, Four Leaf and Angelica are still so small, it's too dangerous outside. The trade caravan only left a few days ago and hasn't gone far yet. Should I go chase them back?"
"Wait, let me consider it." The Maple Lord fell into thought.
