Natural God's Gift

The previously smug Puzzle Lord stiffened, somewhat incredulous. “They actually dare to come and demand accountability?”

Luo Shi Lord’s compound eyes swiveled. “At this time? Could it be they came over soon after returning?

It seems we all underestimated the Flame Spider Kingdom.”

Puzzle Lord ignored it and instead asked the Mountain Master level Long-faced Grasshopper, “How many spiders are coming? What level are they?”

The Mountain Master level Long-faced Grasshopper trembled. “Eight spiders, five of whom are Lord-level.”

“Five Lords? Could it be Lord Plantain and the others have returned from the Myriad Nation Continent?” Puzzle Lord and Luo Shi Lord exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other’s eyes. Things seemed to have blown up!

Luo Shi Lord: “Which Lord is leading? Lord Silver Mist? Lord Plantain? Or Lord Wind Letter?” As one of the top kingdoms, they were quite familiar with some of the older Lords of the Flame Spider Kingdom. Even if they hadn't seen them, they had heard of their names.

They only dared to be a little presumptuous after seeing five Lords go to the opposite Myriad Nation Continent.

“None of them. The leader is a Primal Flame Spider named Lord Qing Feng, and the rest are Lords I've never heard of.”

Puzzle Lord and Luo Shi Lord's hearts suddenly sank. They didn't expect the Flame Spider Kingdom to be so powerful. After sending five Lords to the opposite continent, they could still send five more. And they must have spiders guarding the kingdom. How many Lord-level Flame Spiders does the Flame Spider Kingdom actually have?

The Mountain Master level Long-faced Grasshopper's next words completely broke them: "When I saw Lord Nan Cangshu receiving Lord Qing Feng, I saw three insect heads hanging on its forelegs. I heard that it was a Lord and two Mountain Masters from the Violet Blue Mantis Shrimp Tribe who had plundered the Flame Spider traders.

After the Flame Spider Lords arrived, that Lord and the two Mountain Masters committed suicide."

The two Lords were horrified: "Was it killed or suicide? These are two different things."

The Mountain Master level Long-faced Grasshopper honestly said, "There were no signs of battle on their bodies. According to the three Mountain Masters who followed, they originally wanted to bring them back to the kingdom for punishment, but they committed suicide. They could only bring their heads back."

Luo Shi Lord looked seriously at Puzzle Lord: "Does your kingdom's Lord Nan Cangshu know that you plundered the Flame Spider traders?"

“No, I don't know. This is an internal matter of our tribe, and we didn't notify other tribes.” At this moment, Puzzle Lord was a little flustered.

“Fool,” it was truly greed that clouded his judgment. He didn't even tell the kingdom about this kind of thing, and now there was no way to help him cover it up.

Puzzle Lord opened his mouth. No one cared about this matter before. Who knew it would become so serious.

“Puzzle, what's going on?” Just then, a huge Yellow-backed Grasshopper flew over. When its mental power scanned Luo Shi Lord to the side, although it was a little surprised, it didn't have time to care about it.

It said sternly, “Did you plunder the Flame Spider traders? If not, go and confront the Flame Spiders.”

“I…” Puzzle Lord didn't know how to answer.

“You bastard…” Lord Ku Cao Wu wasn't stupid. Seeing Puzzle Lord's reaction, how could he not know the result?

It roared, “Do you know Lord Ma Sang of the Violet Blue Mantis Shrimp Tribe? The one we saw snatching creations of extraterrestrial civilizations on the starship? Its head is hanging on Lord Qing Feng's foreleg. I think today, its foreleg will have one more head hanging on it!”

Puzzle Lord panicked: “We are a kingdom, not a small tribe. The Flame Spider traders wouldn't dare to do anything to me. Ku Cao Wu, save me.”

Lord Ku Cao Wu was extremely angry: “You didn't consider the kingdom when you robbed, and now you're calling on the kingdom to save you when you're about to die? How can we save you?”

At this moment, Luo Shi Lord was the first to calm down: “Puzzle can't go. Otherwise, the Flame Spiders won't let it go. I suggest it run now.”

The two big grasshoppers both looked at it: “Run? Run where?”

“Run anywhere,” Luo Shi Lord looked at Puzzle Lord, “Otherwise, in its current state, it will be easily exposed if it confronts them face to face. If the Flying Locust Kingdom is not prepared to go to war with the Flame Spider Kingdom, then it can only kill the insect to quell the disaster like the Violet Blue Mantis Shrimp Tribe.”

“But my Life Seed…” Puzzle Lord hesitated.

“Your Life Seed is in your kingdom. What are you afraid of? If you don't confront them face to face, the Flame Spiders won't start a war for no reason, right?”

Puzzle Lord thought, “After I leave, won't I be unable to return to the kingdom?”

“You can't return to the kingdom on the surface, at least you have to avoid the Flame Spider traders.” The main thing was that this guy didn't communicate well with the kingdom. Otherwise, he could just say that he hasn't returned to the kingdom yet.

Puzzle Lord cursed: “I believed your evil and robbed the Flame Spider traders. Now you want me to run for my life. If I can't escape, your Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom won't have a good time either.”

Hearing this, even Lord Ku Cao Wu's eyes changed, and he looked at Luo Shi Lord with unkind eyes, even considering whether to take it down and apologize to the Flame Spider traders.

Luo Shi Lord calmly said: “Our Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom just couldn't stand the Flame Spider traders buying and selling God-given Seeds, desecrating the Natural True God. We only asked you to punish them a little. You were blinded by greed and robbed the Flame Spider traders. Who can you blame for this?”

It also kindly suggested: “I suggest you go to our Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom for a few years to avoid the limelight before returning.

I think the Flame Spiders wouldn't run to our kingdom to look for insects, right?

Where did Lord Ku Cao Wu and Puzzle Lord not know what it wanted to do? If Puzzle Lord went to the Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom to avoid disaster, it would be equivalent to tying the Flying Locust Kingdom to the Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom's chariot.

Puzzle Lord's mouthparts trembled slightly, and finally he made up his mind: “Okay, I'll go with you.”

Luo Shi Lord decisively refused: “No, you can't go with me.”

Fearing that the two big grasshoppers would misunderstand, Luo Shi Lord explained: “If insects see us acting together, they will guess that you might go to our Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom. Then, Puzzle Lord, your situation will really be bad.

After all, the Flame Spiders already have a deeply rooted impression of traders among the Zerg of the Primordial Star Realm. No one knows how many Zerg warriors they have as eyes and ears watching.”

After thinking for a moment, the two big grasshoppers nodded their antennae: “That's fine, then we'll go separately.”

Actually, if they weren't asking for something from their Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom, they would have liked to curse at it in their hearts.

It was clearly afraid that Puzzle Lord would implicate it and drag it down, and still said it was afraid of being discovered by other insects.

Lord Ku Cao Wu immediately arranged: “Then don't delay. While Nan Cangshu is holding back the Flame Spider Lords, you take the opportunity to leave.”

“Puzzle, you leave the kingdom first and go north. It's freezing there now, and the Flame Spiders shouldn't go there. It's relatively safe. We'll send you Primordial Force food there. As for Luo Shi Lord, it's not good for you to stay in our kingdom anymore. How about going back to the Golden Tortoise Shell Kingdom first?”

“Okay!” Puzzle Lord and Luo Shi Lord each chose a direction, flapped their wings, and quickly fled the Qu Mai Grassland. They were also afraid that the Flame Spiders would be blinded by anger and directly rush into the Qu Mai Grassland to find Puzzle Lord and kill it directly.

Seeing Puzzle Lord heading north, Lord Ku Cao Wu's compound eyes rolled slightly, and he silently said in his heart: “Puzzle,”

"I'm sorry, but for the sake of the kingdom, we can only sacrifice you. Who told you to do the wrong thing!"

"We can't let the entire kingdom be buried with you for your mistakes."

Thinking of this, a trace of fear appeared in its compound eyes. After the Flame Spider came to the Flying Locust Kingdom, it immediately contacted the Cloud-Spotted Grasshopper tribe, and then Lord Nancangshu notified it, because it was related to the Long-Browed Locust tribe, so Lord Yizhi was not notified.

When Lord Nancangshu first told it about this, it was a little unconvinced, but in the Cloud-Spotted Grasshopper tribe, it saw the heads of Lord Masang and the others, and immediately calmed down.

Afterwards, the Flame Spider tribe held a competition, and as a result, the opponent won consecutive battles, defeating their Flying Locusts miserably and making them tremble with fear.

They are not small tribes with poor information, so they naturally know that there are still five Lord-level Flame Spiders who have set foot on the opposite Myriad Race Continent, and they also know that those five spiders are the old lords with stronger strength.

This made them realize that although both sides are called kingdoms, if they really fight against the Flame Spider Kingdom, their kingdom is completely unmatched.

If the Flame Spider Kingdom were to deal with them with all its strength, I am afraid they would not be able to support it for too long. The most important thing is, why should the kingdom pay for your Long-Browed Locust tribe's willfulness outside?

But if Lord Yizhi is handed over like this, not to mention the kingdom's reputation will be swept away, I am afraid that the hearts of the insects in the five countries will be scattered first.

It discussed with Lord Nancangshu, and finally decided to let Lord Yizhi leave the kingdom to avoid disaster, so that even if he died outside, it would be an accident. Although it is said that the kingdom's reputation will also be lost at that time,

The hearts of the insects will be unstable, but it is better than directly confronting the Flame Spider Kingdom and destroying the country, right?

As for whether Lord Yizhi's escape will implicate them? Since Yizhi has already been regarded as a dead insect,

They will naturally give the Flame Spiders an explanation.

Lord Yizhi flew heavily to a hillside to rest. It did not expect that a moment of greed would have such serious consequences, and even it would have to flee the kingdom.

It admitted that it was frightened by the insect head that the withered grass crow said. The head of a tribe was directly taken off by the other party without bloodshed.

Putting their hearts together, even if their Flying Locust Kingdom is powerful, they do not think they can have such power when facing small tribes.

Lord Yizhi looked towards the central direction of the Fang Race Continent and said angrily: "Damn insect, why don't you fight the Flame Spiders to the death, so that they probably wouldn't dare to come to our Flying Locust Kingdom to show off their power."

However, it also knew that it was useless to say these angry words. After resting on the hillside for a while, it was about to continue flying north, but it saw a Cloud-Spotted Grasshopper whose size was comparable to it flying from the direction of the kingdom.

Seeing the figure of the grasshopper, Lord Yizhi was a little strange: "Why is Lord Huazhi here? Is it here to find me? Could it be that some changes have taken place in the kingdom again?"

For some reason, when thinking of this, Lord Yizhi had a bad feeling.

Seeing Lord Huazhi scanning around in the air with mental thoughts, Lord Yizhi walked out with a gloomy face: "Huazhi, you followed me here, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

"Yizhi," Lord Huazhi fell from the air. It looked at Lord Yizhi, but didn't know how to start some words.

Lord Yizhi smiled pretentiously and relaxed: "What's wrong? Aren't you here to find me? Why are you not talking now?"

Lord Huazhi felt a little ashamed when he heard Lord Yizhi say this: "Yizhi, we fought five battles with the spiders of the Flame Spider Kingdom, and we lost all five battles. We are not the spiders' match."

Lord Yizhi took a deep breath: "So in fact, the moment it saw Huazhi, it should have realized that it had been abandoned by the kingdom, but it was unwilling to believe that it was the leader of the Long-Browed Locust tribe. If it was abandoned, wouldn't it make the other locust tribes feel cold?

Lord Huazhi: "The Flame Spider gave the Purple Blue Mange tribe two choices at the beginning: either hand over Lord Masang or destroy the tribe.

The Purple Blue Mange tribe chose the first option to preserve the tribe,

Now this condition is also placed in front of our Flying Locust Kingdom. We want to protect the Long-Browed Locust tribe, so we actually have no choice!"

Lord Yizhi said coldly: "So you want me to commit suicide like Lord Masang? Do you think I am so stupid?"

Lord Huazhi asked back: "Then is Lord Masang so stupid? Doesn't he know how to resist or escape?

But its life seed and tribe are all there.

Escape means that the entire tribe will be buried with it. When the life seed is eliminated, they will still have to die.

Not escaping can still preserve the tribe. Think about your younger generations, Yizhi. Our insect warriors are not unattached."

Lord Huazhi said sadly: "It's not that we want you to die. We all grew up together since we were young. I want you to live more than anyone else, but even if we are willing to pay a high price in compensation, the Flame Spider still refuses to let go.

From that moment on, we knew that they didn't care about compensation. They just wanted to use you to establish their prestige. Since it is to establish prestige, then they have to show something powerful enough to the myriad races.

Either your head, or the head of the Long-Browed Locust tribe, or even the head of the entire Flying Locust Kingdom."

"Does it dare?" Lord Yizhi's wings were about to explode.

"I don't know if they dare, but our kingdom doesn't dare to gamble. Five Lord-level Flame Spiders are enough to wipe out our entire Flying Locust Kingdom."

Lord Yizhi: "The insect from the Golden Turtle Beetle Kingdom asked me to do this. Why doesn't the Flame Spider go to find their trouble?"

Lord Huazhi: "Evidence? Show me the evidence, and I'll give it to the Flame Spider!"

Lord Yizhi was speechless. How could the other party leave evidence for such a thing?

The Flame Spider deserves to die, and the Golden Turtle Beetle Kingdom deserves to die even more!

Lord Yizhi knew that the matter was irreversible, and said with a miserable smile: "Since you want to kill me, then why did you let me run out of the kingdom before giving me this news? Wouldn't it be easier to execute me directly in the kingdom?"

Lord Huazhi dared not speak. They were still a kingdom, so what would it look like to execute a locust leader in the country?

Outside, even if he died in the claws of the Flame Spider, there would be many ways to cover it up. Lord Yizhi said indifferently: "I will not be as stupid as Lord Masang to commit suicide. Tell the Flame Spider,

I am waiting for them in the Starship. If they have the ability, kill me there."

It heard that many insects in the Starship have found powerful treasures. In the face of life and death, it decided to take a gamble.

Lord Huazhi's compound eyes lit up. The myriad races have been exploring the Starship for several months, and they already understand some basic information. It naturally knows some rumors about powerful treasures inside the Starship.

Although this incident caused a gap between Yizhi and the kingdom, it still hoped that Yizhi could live: "If you can find some treasure in the Starship to restrain the Flame Spider, then if the kingdom mediates at that time, this matter may be resolved into a minor issue, and a minor issue into nothing."
