Dawn Spider

Chapter 12 I’m afraid you’ll snatch it away!
According to the traditional custom of Zerg warriors, a plant is officially named after the first plant it grows.

What kind of name is 'Jin'?
The three giant spiders, Famu, Sikui and Hongzhui, were about to correct him when they heard the second half of the sentence and jumped in shock.

"The seeds of the Tin Leaf Vine God has bestowed upon us?"

"God-given seed?"

"God-given seeds?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Has it been placed in the life capsule and started to be gestated?"

Jin briefly explained, "We found it when we were searching for fog beads on the battlefield below the mountain after the last fog tide ended. It had just bloomed then. The tin-leaf vine fruit isn't ripe yet, maybe another two or three months."

"Crack!"

"Hey!"

Lord Famu and Lord Hongzhui looked at Lord Sikui.

Sikui Mountain Master: "..."

——I had no idea such a thing existed~
—Fog tide? It’s been over two months since the fog tide ended.

——I remember now, they used a mist bead to exchange the raw stone with me.

——I see! I thought they were just playing around with the rough stones, but that's what's going on!
The Sikui Mountain Master glared at Jin and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Jin said implicitly: "I'm afraid you'll snatch it away!"

The Lord of Silk Kui Mountain angrily scolded: "Little thing, are you too clever? Am I that kind of spider?"

Jin said confidently, "The True God of Nature said that we must be wary of spiders."

Thirteen chimed in, "The True God of Nature also said that we shouldn't harm other spiders, but we should always be vigilant against being harmed by them."

Did the True God of Nature say this? Lord Famu and Lord Hongzhui looked at Lord Sikui with a gradually changing expression...

Sikui Mountain Master was furious and spoke rapidly as he explained, "These two guys have inherited a memory error, and they're constantly spouting nonsense. They were also talking about being underage and the Minor Spider Protection Act, saying they wanted to put me in jail... It's incomprehensible."

The Sikui Mountain Master scolded again, "How can a sub-adult, half-grown little spider have such evil intentions? Did you learn this from those old spiders on the mountain? Don't hang out with them anymore."

Lord Famu: “…”

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain: "..."

Lord Famu and Lord Hongzhui Mountain were choked with emotion and speechless.

"Okay. Okay."

Lord Famu stretched his legs and called out, "Little one... Well, Jin, come, I'll give you a ride. Where is the God-given Tin Leaf Vine seed? Lead us there. Don't worry, no spider will dare to take it from you."

"Shanbei!"

Jin followed the spider's legs and climbed onto Lord Famu's head.

Lord Famu led the way out of the nest and headed straight towards the back mountain.

...

"And I……"

"I...I...I..."

"I haven't gotten up yet..."

Thirteen chased out of the cave and stood at the entrance, watching the three big spiders disappear in the mountain path, feeling lost and depressed.

...

Gold guides the way,
Soon, the group arrived under the big banyan tree.

The three-headed spider's gaze fell directly on the spider silk bag on the fruit cluster, and at the same time it used its mental power to scan it.

It really is a half-grown tin-leaf vine divine fruit!
Lord Famu praised again: "He even knew to use the spider silk bag to protect the fruit! What a clever little fellow."

The Red Cone Mountain Master asked in doubt, "Si Kui, you wove this bag, didn't you? You really don't know?"

"How could I lie to you about such a big thing..."

The Sikui Mountain Master was furious. He suddenly remembered that when the two little guys came to him to exchange the raw stones, they also asked him to weave a spider silk bag...

It’s on here!

Very smart indeed.

"wrong!"

The Red Cone Mountain Master raised his doubts again and said, "My inherited memories show that the tin-leaf vine is a metal-type plant..."

"Yes."

"Tin-leaf vine is a metal-type plant."

Lord Famu and Lord Sikui Mountain reacted immediately and saw that the force patterns of the fruits on the tree were in the shape of white ice crystals, with water-attributed aura.

The three-headed spider activated its mental power, scanning the vines on the banyan tree repeatedly and inspecting them carefully.

"It's tin-leaf vine~"

"It's just an ordinary tin-leaf vine." "Could it have mutated during the flowering and fruiting period?"

Lord Famu reacted quickly, shifting his mental power to sweep towards Jin, who was standing overhead, and asked, "Jin, you just said that it was in bloom during the fog tide?"

Kim replied, “That’s right.”

Lord Famu speculated, "It's likely that it was affected by the fog tide and mutated. The essence of the fog tide is that the fog spirit escaped the protection of the fog sea energy field, and its realm continued to fall, and the water element energy that was constantly flowing away was derived from it."

"Oh--"

"So, the stimulation of the fog tide's water energy caused the mutation?"

"About that."

"Don't worry about it. For us Flame Spider Warriors, there's no difference between Metal and Water."

"Jin has a talent for thunder?"

"I can't use it anyway, so I can only exchange it."

The two mountain masters, Si Kui and Hong Zhui, agreed.

The Lord of Sikui Mountain said happily, "That's not bad. A one-year-old junior warrior, his first life seed is a divine seed. Not bad, not bad. It seems that this little fellow is also a warrior favored by the True God of Nature!"

Lord Famu said, "The God-given Seed is not only a gift from the True God of Nature, but also the most valuable asset of the Zerg warriors. It is a scarce and precious resource for evolution and cannot be neglected."

"Red Cone, you stay and help. You and Silk Kui will take turns guarding the fruit until it's ripe."

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain straightened his spider legs and replied in a resounding voice, "Yes! Lord Famu."

The Sikui Mountain Master thanked him and said, "Thank you for the trouble."

Lord Famu said, "The little warrior is fragile, and the evil spirits of the jungle spawned by this fog tide have not yet been completely eliminated. Therefore, you must keep your eyes on the little warrior. Whoever of you takes turns guarding the divinely gifted tin-leaf vine seed will also take care of the little fellow."

"Also, according to my estimation, the Tin Leaf Vine God-given Fruit will mature in about 40 to 50 days. To avoid any accidents, do not give the little one Force food during this period."

"clear."

Si Kui and the Lord of Hongzhui Mountain agreed.

Lord Famu's mental force shifted and locked onto Jin above him, admonishing him, "Jin, we Zerg warriors grow and evolve by consuming Force food. Evolving to gain greater strength, you shouldn't absorb the natural Force. Wait until this divinely gifted Tin Leaf Vine seed matures and enters your Life Sac. We'll use the Force food to help you evolve. Do you understand?"

Jin was secretly delighted and agreed, "Understood!"

The explanation is completed.

Lord Famu ordered, "Hongzhu, you stay here to guard. Sikui, Jin, you two follow me up the mountain."

...

...

"You can send a bag of raw stones down the mountain. One or two raw stones a day will be enough."

Lord Famu pointed to the spider silk bag lying in the corner.

The Sikui Mountain Master immediately said, "I'll send it down right away!"

"Not urgent!"

Lord Famu raised his claws, stopping the Sikui Mountain Lord's movements and saying, "When planting Life Seeds, be sure to keep them sufficiently spaced apart, especially the God-given Life Seeds. Firstly, they need to absorb a large amount of Force during their breakthrough evolution. If they are too close together, they will naturally lack Force and risk a breakthrough failure. Secondly, the God-given Seeds have evolved to a higher level, and they also need a large amount of Force to bloom and bear fruit. If they lack Force, the fruit will be affected."

"Si Kui, your mountain is too small. Is there no open space on the mountain?"

"Yes."

Si Kui replied, "Ordinary life seeds are fine, but there really isn't enough space for the God-given seeds. My idea is to open up a forest in the south of the mountain, and then Jin and I will concentrate our life seeds there."

"Um--"

Lord Famu added, "There's also the issue of housing. According to our plan, each mountain along the defense line should ideally have four Flame Spider Warriors stationed there, stationed in the four directions of east, south, west, and north. When the fog tide arrives, they'll each guard their respective directions."

"Si Kui lives in the south of the mountain, and Jin is best to live in the north of the mountain."

The Sikui Mountain Master replied, "There's no rush for King Kong to awaken. He can stay in my cave for now. When he evolves into an intermediate warrior and has a certain level of self-protection, I'll find time to help him dig a cave."

"I'm just planning for you..."

Lord Famu paused mid-sentence, then warned, "Then be careful when you walk around. The newborn warriors are tiny and fragile, so don't step on them accidentally. Ordinary flame spiders are fine, but we can't afford to lose any flame spider warriors."

Lord Sikui: "No."

Thirteen:???
Thirteen rubbed his claws vigorously and made a sound: "What about me? What about me? Look at me?"

This time, Thirteen successfully attracted the attention of Lord Famu...

"Si Kui, where did this little spider come from?"

Jin quickly said, "It's my younger brother, the thirteenth. For now, his name is also Thirteen."

Thirteen said, "When the Force awakens in the future, I will change my name to a more resonant official one."

"..."

Lord Famu stared at Thirteen and was silent for two seconds before praising him, "This little fellow is quite clever."
