Natural God's Gift

#269 - Scorzonera

"Flame Spider Merchant?" After a long while, the insectoid warrior cautiously poked its head out again. On its head, the allium ramosum grass swayed gently with the movement of its head.

"Little one, don't be afraid. Were you born here?"

"Yes, are you a Flame Spider Merchant?" the little insectoid warrior asked cautiously, "I don't have any Origin Power food to trade with you."

Cordyceps sinensis tribes theoretically have long lifespans, but in reality, because they only nurture one Life Seed, their Origin Power food is simply not enough to eat. Even if the Life Seed absorbs natural Origin Power and uses photosynthesis to increase its own growth limit, they can only grow to the advanced stage at most.

Unless they find and cultivate a wild God-Given Seed, and trade the output of the wild God-Given Seed with the Flame Spider Merchant to obtain other Origin Power food to eat and grow, there is a chance to be promoted to the Mountain Lord level or above.

Fortunately, they have long lifespans. Even advanced warriors have more than four hundred years of life. If they are promoted to the Mountain Lord level, their lifespan can reach more than eight hundred years, such a long time that they are almost catching up with some Insect Kings.

"I don't need you to trade with me." Four Leaf said gently, "My name is Four Leaf, what's your name?"

The little warrior said weakly, "My name is Allium."

"Oh, oh," Even if the other party is neither insect nor tree, unsurprisingly, the insectoid warriors still have the habit of naming themselves after their Life Seed.

Four Leaf continued to ask, "How old are you? What instar are you? Are you living here alone?"

Allium thought for a while, "I was born last spring, I'm two years old now, my realm is the early stage of the second instar, I haven't seen any other insectoid warriors."

Two years old and only at the early stage of the second instar? This evolution speed is a bit slow. Four Leaf thought again, a Cordyceps sinensis insect living here alone, with three seasons a year for plants to grow, is already considered good.

Four Leaf said, "My name is Four Leaf, I am a Spider from the Flame Spider Kingdom. It's too dangerous for you to stay in the wild alone. Shall I take you back to our kingdom's territory?"

Allium hesitated a little, "I feel like I'm doing pretty well here."

"There are too many flying birds and beasts in the forest. If you stay here, you might be eaten by some bird. If you return to our Flame Spider Kingdom, we will definitely be able to protect you." To be honest, this insect is really fat. At the second instar, it is twenty to thirty centimeters in size. Those birds must really like this kind of fat insect.

Hearing Four Leaf say this, Allium was also very hesitant. In the forest, it did occasionally encounter some dangers and had experienced several crises.

Seeing the other party hesitating, Four Leaf continued, "Besides, this is our Flame Spider Kingdom's territory.

Theoretically speaking, you are not allowed to live in our kingdom's territory.

We Flame Spider Merchants love peace and will not drive you away. We are willing to take you insectoid warriors born within our kingdom to our existing safe zone so that you will not be harmed."

Although Allium was ignorant, hearing the other party say this, it also knew that the big spider in front of it was obviously not giving it any other choice.

Allium said timidly, "If I go to your Flame Spider Kingdom, will you not hurt me?"

"How could we?" Four Leaf smiled, "We will not only not hurt you, but we will also ask other Flame Spider Merchants to inquire about your tribe. If you have a tribe, we will ask our clansmen to send you back to your tribe.

If you don't have a tribe, we will also provide you with Origin Power food to help you grow."

"Oh." Allium felt strange. Are there such good insects? And they even provide Origin Power food for it to grow for free? It remained skeptical.

Four Leaf: "Then you should come with me now."

It looked at the stone science it had just made and asked, "Do you need to take root in the soil?"

If it didn't need soil, it would save it from transporting so much soil, which was quite heavy.

Allium crawled out of the soil. The allium ramosum grass on its head quickly withered and then fell off directly, leaving only a seedling on its head, "I don't need soil. We Bat Insectoids have four forms.

The first form is the Insect Form. This form is no different from other insectoid warriors and can move freely.

The second form is the Tree Form. We take root in the soil, and a sapling will grow on top of our heads. The fourteen legs can grow roots to carry out photosynthesis and absorb nutrients from the soil to grow."

"The third form is the Insect-Tree Form. We can walk around with a tree on our heads, but we can't absorb nutrients from the soil and need to eat Origin Power food to replenish our strength."

"What about the fourth form?" The inherited memories obtained by each insectoid warrior are not exactly the same. The inherited memories focus more on their own race. Some belong to the unique memories of their own race, which other insectoids don't know much about.

Four Leaf's understanding of this race depends on searching for inherited memories. It doesn't know much about their racial forms.

"The fourth form is the Butterfly Form. This form is to break away from the body's Life Seed form and use the Life Sac to nurture the Life Seed. Reaching this level is no different from other insectoid warriors, but there are too few insects that can become this form, so it is rare."

"There are so many forms." Four Leaf was also a little surprised. It originally thought that the Silkworm race having two forms was already quite unique, but it didn't expect that this Bat Insectoid actually had four forms.

"Then your current Insect Form shouldn't need soil, right?"

Allium responded, "This form can move away from the soil."

"That's good." This way, it wouldn't have to carry so much soil back.

Four Leaf controlled the spider silk thread, gently tied Allium up, lifted it to the top of its head and put it down, and took out a God-Given Sesame Seed for it to eat.

"This is the God-Given Origin Power food that I eat myself. This is Mountain Lord level, the level is a bit high, you can't eat too much, just hold it in your mouth and wait for its Origin Energy to slowly dissipate."

"Mountain Lord level? God-Given Origin Power food?" Allium stretched out two forelegs, struggling to hold the God-Given Sesame Seed,

and then put it into its mouth, feeling the rich Origin Energy power inside, its eyes shone brightly, "Thank you, Four Leaf."

"Yes," Four Leaf didn't care about taking out a God-Given Sesame Seed.

In comparison, another question surprised it even more. Four Leaf asked, "Allium, is your Life Seed a God-Given Seed?"

Allium: "Yes, after I awakened, I sensed that there was a God-Given Seed. I guarded it for several months before I obtained this seed and nurtured it into a Life Seed."

"Really?" Hearing Allium say this, Four Leaf was very happy, feeling a sense of camaraderie, "Then you are very similar to me. My first Life Seed was also one that I guarded under a tree for a long time, and then waited for the fruit to mature before incorporating it into my Life Sac."

"Really? That's such a coincidence?" Hearing Four Leaf say this, Allium felt a sense of identity with it and became a little bolder, standing on top of Four Leaf's head and chatting with it enthusiastically.

Four Leaf was still a little curious about the form of this race, especially Allium, which was both a tree and an insect, and also used a God-Given Seed as its Life Seed.

"Allium, the Allium ramosum grass God-Given Seed is your Life Seed and your body. Does the Allium ramosum grass God-Given Seed have a soul consciousness?"

Four Leaf didn't know whether this kind of situation was considered one body and one soul, or one body and two souls?

Allium tilted its head and asked in confusion, "Does Allium ramosum grass also have a soul consciousness?"

"Generally, the biggest difference between ordinary Life Seeds and God-Given Seeds is that God-Given Seeds have a soul consciousness, while ordinary Life Seeds do not have a soul consciousness.

Even wild God-Given Seeds have a soul subconsciousness. Allium's situation is really in its blind spot.

Here's a question, if the Bat Insectoid and the Life Seed are one body and one soul, then are the Life Seeds they nurture considered ordinary Life Seeds or God-Given Seeds?

If it nurtures a God-Given Seed, is it one body and one soul, or one body and two souls? What are the differences between the two?

Allium was very confused, "I don't know either!"

"Okay," Allium's knowledge and learning are still too little. Four Leaf planned to see if it could take it back,

and let it study in Hundred Fruit Forest for a few years first. If the kingdom doesn't agree to raise it, it doesn't lack that little bit of Origin Power food to cultivate it.

Although it doesn't know what use this insect is, it feels like it's just a waste, but the existence of this form of insectoid warrior is still very valuable for research.

Four Leaf: "I still have to patrol the kingdom's territory to find insectoid warriors like you, or God-Given Seeds,

and go back in late autumn. You can walk around with me first, and then go back with me. I'll send you to our kingdom to learn some knowledge."

"Okay," As long as there is no danger to life, Allium doesn't care about these things.

Four Leaf patrolled the kingdom's territory until mid-October, but unfortunately, it couldn't find any other insectoid warriors, so it had to take Allium back to the initial territory.
