Natural God's Gift

Siyuan stayed in the kingdom until April, waiting for the original Flame Spider warriors in the kingdom to manage their life seeds. It also built the dock on Tianya Reef.

Estimating that the time was almost up, it gathered the Flame Spider warriors and headed back to the Coast Water Lice tribe.

This time, Boss Xiaoji naturally wouldn't go. Besides that, in the combat squad, Huotan and Youdiao didn't go either, as they had to continue working on the Dragon Bamboo Plain.

There was still an order for 5 million cubic meters from Yinmei Continent, and there was no talk of giving up immediately. That place was relatively close, and transportation back and forth was faster.

It was considering when to send a batch of iron frames to Yinmei Continent as well, so they could replace the bamboo tubes with iron frames.

Going to pick up goods every two months could be considered taking care of its customers.

It also brought ten high-level round purple Flame Spider warriors who controlled the wind. If it weren't for the small number of Flame Spider warriors in the kingdom, it would have wanted to hire thirty.

The large ship departed from Tianya Reef and headed north. In spring, the east and south winds were more common near the coast, which was perfect for their ships to travel north.

The three mainsails of Siyuan's ship, embroidered with Flame Spider patterns, were unfurled, and the powerful wind pushed the ship north. Although the sailing speed might not be that fast due to the ocean currents, it was enough for Siyuan and the others.

Sometimes, when the wind direction shifted slightly, the high-level round purple Flame Spider warriors would also slightly adjust the direction of the sails, manipulating the wind energy to propel the ship.

They first arrived at the Black-veined Butterfly Kingdom. After seeing Siyuan's huge ship for the second time, the Black-veined Butterfly warriors were no longer as surprised as the first time.

Siyuan and the others transported the remaining thousand iron frames onto the ship. After dismantling the crane arm, Siyuan settled the remaining 180,000 raw stone balance with Lord Jianhuai.

This made Lord Jianhuai so happy that it couldn't find its way. It twirled the Spider King's letter scroll and said happily: "You didn't come in early spring, and I thought you didn't want them anymore. The Ziyun Merchant Team came over and told me that you would come in late spring, and we were a little relieved."

Siyuan said: "How could I not want them? This many iron frames might not even be enough."

"Ah? So many are not enough?" Lord Jianhuai was both surprised and delighted: "Lord Siyuan, if you don't have enough of these iron frames, we can make more for you."

Earning 280,000 raw stones in a year without needing any cost, only some insect power, was a rare opportunity in the Star Realm.

"We'll talk about it later, there's no rush now." Its other two ships haven't been built yet. Once they are built, it will definitely need another batch of iron frames.

After loading the iron frames, they continued north, sailing for another ten days before reaching the island from last year.

In general, due to ocean currents and wind direction, going from south to north was two to three times slower than going from north to south.

If it were autumn or winter, with the ocean currents and wind direction reversed, the speed would only be slower. At that time, it might be necessary to use raw stones to propel the ship.

When Siyuan and the others arrived at this unknown island, they saw hundreds of high-level Coast Water Lice warriors already working here.

To Siyuan's surprise, Lord Haiqing was not here, but Mountain Lord Zicai was here directing the Coast Water Lice warriors to work.

Since Siyuan had seen them, they had naturally seen the large ship on the sea. The large spider drawn on the sails indicated their identity. In fact, besides the Flame Spiders, no other kingdom could build such a large ship.

Siyuan's ship docked at the pier, and Mountain Lord Zicai immediately greeted them, saying: "Lord Siyuan, you've arrived."

R

"Yes," Siyuan led the way off the ship, looked at the iron frames piled up with fertilizer, and said: "Mountain Lord Zicai, how long have you been working here?"

Mountain Lord Zicai said: "We have been working here for more than twenty days."

"Is that so?" Siyuan looked at the iron frames behind Mountain Lord Zicai: "How many have you filled?"

Mountain Lord Zicai said somewhat awkwardly: "We just started doing this work and are not very skilled, so we haven't filled many yet."

"I see." Siyuan didn't say anything about it, fortunately it wasn't in a hurry: "Then shall we transfer the filled iron frames to the ship first?"

"Okay, okay, okay," Mountain Lord Zicai responded quickly.

Siyuan first directed the Flame Spider warriors on the ship to transfer the empty iron frames from the ship, and then set up the crane arm on the pier to transport the filled iron frames onto the ship one by one.

Siyuan and the others stayed here for another four days before the Coast Water Lice warriors filled 70,000 cubic meters of fertilizer.

When the Flame Spider warriors had transferred all the goods onto the ship, Siyuan directly took out the Spider King's letter scroll and settled the account with Mountain Lord Zicai.

This was different from the one-time order from the Black-veined Butterfly Kingdom. The order for making iron frames from the Black-veined Butterfly Kingdom was small, and the Ziyun Merchant Team could provide a guarantee.

The order for fertilizer here was too large, with the first batch being 5 million cubic meters. The Ziyun Merchant Team didn't have that much influence, and it could even be said that no one's guarantee would be useful, after all, it wasn't possible to wait until all 5 million cubic meters of fertilizer were transported before paying the raw stones, right?

One claw pays the money, and one claw delivers the goods, which can also increase the enthusiasm of the Coast Water Lice warriors.

Indeed, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Coast Water Lice warriors cheered when they saw Siyuan hand six Spider King letter scrolls with a face value of 10,000 and three with a face value of 1,000 to Mountain Lord Zicai.

Siyuan didn't stay here for long and directly directed the Flame Spider warriors to sail the ship back to the kingdom.

It took them nearly a month to travel back and forth. By then, it was estimated that enough iron frames could be filled here again, and no one dared to stop.

Because it was fully loaded with fertilizer, even though it was going downstream, the speed of the large ship was much slower.

After Siyuan and the others sailed the ship back to the kingdom and unloaded the fertilizer, they let the Flame Spider warriors who stayed in the Dragon Bamboo Plain slowly unload the goods, while they rushed back to the Coast Water Lice tribe to load more goods.

In order to avoid encountering large waves in the deep sea, their ships traveled along the coast. Many tribes and insect warriors living by the sea saw this ship sailing back and forth, and were amazed by the strange behavior of the Flame Spider merchants.

From April to September, Siyuan and the others were able to sail between the Coast Water Lice tribe and the Flame Spider Kingdom every month, transporting 70,000 cubic meters of fertilizer each time, which was much more efficient than transporting fertilizer in Yinmei Continent before.

It wasn't until September, when Lord Torch arrived at the Coast Water Lice tribe to trade, that Siyuan and the others stopped transporting fertilizer and prepared to follow Lord Torch to the Staphylinidae Kingdom.

"Lord Torch, has the deal with the Staphylinidae Kingdom been negotiated?"

Lord Torch finished trading at the Coast Water Lice tribe, and it led the merchant team of Flame Spiders to board Siyuan's ship. Hearing Siyuan's words, it responded: "The deal with the Staphylinidae Kingdom was negotiated long ago. They have raw stone mines, and 40 million raw stones are not much for them. They have been preparing for a long time, waiting for us to go and get them."

"That's good."

Lord Torch said: "The Staphylinidae Kingdom is also a coastal kingdom, we can just sail the ship over."

"Then I will have to trouble Lord Torch to lead the way."

Siyuan and the others sailed along the coastline to the north, and they were very careful. In July, August and September,

typhoons are very likely to occur at sea.

In August, they encountered a big typhoon. If it weren't for the fact that everyone on the ship was a Flame Spider warrior with wind control abilities, and they had sensed the abnormal wind pressure on the sea surface early on, and they were sailing along the coast,

they would have found a safe haven to hide two days before the typhoon came, and I'm afraid their ship might not have been able to be saved.

As for themselves? They weren't stupid. The ship was difficult to move, but they weren't? They could have run away in advance,

they deserved to die.

The location of the Staphylinidae Kingdom was closer than Siyuan and the others had imagined. Siyuan and the others only sailed for two days,

when they heard Lord Torch say that they had arrived at the territory of the Staphylinidae Kingdom.

"Arrived?" Si Ye hadn't expected the distance between the Elytra Kingdom and the Sea Slater Tribe to be so close. However, 'close' was only relative to the sea route. If they were to travel by land, with tribes to trade with along the way, it would take at least a month to arrive.

Torch Lord said, "Bring the ship closer."

"Ah?" Si Ye asked in confusion, "Is it okay to get so close to their kingdom?"

Torch Lord said proudly, "I am Torch. No insect in the Elytra Kingdom doesn't recognize me. Get closer."

"Alright, bring the ship closer."

As the ship approached the shore, several elytra warriors, each about two meters long, emerged from the forest.

They flew out, full of aggression, and said, "This is the territory of the Elytra Kingdom, entry is prohibited—" "Oh, it's Torch Lord."

Their mental message was halfway through when they saw Torch Lord standing at the bow, radiating a rich earth-elemental energy.

Si Ye and Fu Di used their water abilities to sense the situation in the water. Just as the ship was about to reach the shore and run aground, they stopped it in time.

"Haha," Torch Lord stood at the bow and greeted the elytra warriors, "Good early autumn to you all!

Is your Lord Shanli Hong busy? Let him know that my trade caravan has arrived."

The elytra warriors widened their eyes, "Torch Lord, is this your caravan's ship?"

"This is my kingdom's Flame Spider Warrior's ship. I'm just borrowing it."

"Oh, oh, Torch Lord, please wait a moment. I'll go inform Lord Shanli Hong." The Ziyun Caravan had been trading with the Elytra Kingdom since the Mountain Lord level, and it had been seventy or eighty years since then. The warriors of the Elytra Kingdom were very familiar with the Ziyun Caravan.

The Flame Spider Warriors waited patiently on the ship. Si Ye asked, "Torch Lord, are you going to trade here?"

Torch Lord said, "Yes, I'll be staying here for half a month. But you don't have to wait for me. You can take the raw stones back directly when the time comes."

Si Ye asked, "Not returning to the kingdom with us?"

Torch Lord said, "After trading here, I still have to go to a few small tribes to trade. Besides that, I have to return the same way and purchase primal force food from some tribes."

"Alright."

While Torch Lord and Si Ye were chatting, the elytra warrior who had gone back to report earlier flew back and said to Torch Lord on the ship, "Torch Lord, Lord Shanli Hong invites you to come over."

Torch Lord looked at Si Ye, "Do you want to get off the ship and have some fun together?"

Si Ye shook his antennae, refusing, "No, I'd rather stay on the ship."

It didn't have any connection with the Elytra Kingdom. There was nothing to do even if it went over. It was better to stay on the ship and be more comfortable.

"Okay, after I've negotiated with the Elytra Kingdom, I'll have them transport the raw stones over."

"Okay!"

Torch Lord also knew that Si Ye had a lot of things to do. This trip was originally squeezed out of a busy schedule to pull raw stones for them, so it didn't want to keep Si Ye waiting for too long.

It put the primal force food on its back armor on the ship and went to the Elytra Kingdom's territory empty-backed to talk about the raw stones.

It didn't make Si Ye and the others wait too long before Torch Lord hurriedly returned.

"Si Ye, it's settled. Let's go carry the raw stones."

"So fast?" Si Ye was a little surprised by its speed.

Torch Lord said as a matter of course, "We had already discussed with Lord Shanli Hong a few years ago about coming over to transport raw stones.

Now we're just notifying it, so naturally it's very fast."

Torch Lord added, "It's just that we still need to move them ourselves now."

Si Ye asked curiously, "How many raw stones were transported back before? How many raw stones are there now?"

Torch Lord didn't hide anything and said directly, "Because most of the space on our back armor each year has to be used to transport primal force food, the remaining space isn't much.

The entire caravan only transports fifty to one hundred thousand raw stones back each year. Over the years, we've only transported 2.55 million raw stones back."

"That means there are still 45.45 million raw stones that haven't been transported back."

One raw stone weighs a standard 5 grams, 10,000 stones is 50 kilograms, and 45.45 million raw stones is nearly 228 tons.

If they relied purely on spider strength to transport them, how long would it take?

No wonder the Ziyun Caravan, after hearing that Si Ye's ship had been built, rarely asked Si Ye to help transport them.

Knowing that there were so many, Si Ye summoned the spiders, "Let's go, let's go, everyone go move goods."

The Ziyun Caravan had four spiders, and Si Ye's ship, including Si Ye, had 15 spiders, a total of 19 spiders. Except for two spiders left to guard the ship, all the other spiders disembarked. The lowest-ranked among them were high-level Flame Spiders, so moving raw stones was easy.

They crossed three or four ridges, winding and turning for more than ten kilometers without seeing the end.

"This is quite far from the coast," Fenghua muttered.

"There's no way around it. Other insects' territories aren't like our kingdom's, where the main territories are all by the sea."

A dozen spiders walked another five or six kilometers before, led by Torch Lord, they saw a group of elytra warriors lying in front of a cave.

Torch Lord walked and lowered its mental message to explain to Si Ye, "After trading for the raw stones with the God-given Seeds, Lord Shanli Hong of the Elytra Kingdom had prepared all 48 million raw stones.

It's just that we couldn't transport them all at that time, so we applied to Lord Shanli Hong for a mountain and sealed all the raw stones inside. We open the cave and transport some every year when we come. If only we had placed the raw stones closer to the sea."

"These elytra warriors are also here to help us transport goods."

"I see."

After explaining to Si Ye, Torch Lord quickly ran forward, greeted the leading elytra warrior, and then ran to the front of the cave, activating its earth-elemental ability to open the cave.

Inside the cave were piles of raw stones packed in large spider silk bags. According to the Ziyun Caravan's standards, each bag was filled with 10,000 raw stones, and thousands of spider silk bags filled half of the cave.

Torch Lord said to the leading elytra warrior, "Sorry for the trouble, Lord Gouqi."

"No trouble at all, Torch Lord is too polite." The leading elytra warrior directed everyone to start working.

The lowest-level of those elytra warriors were high-level. They lined up and took turns lifting two, three, or five spider silk bags filled with raw stones, then took off and flew towards the ship.

After the elytra warriors finished carrying, the Flame Spider Warriors also stepped forward, carrying six or seven spider silk bags on their backs, and returned the same way.

Si Ye and Torch Lord directly carried twenty spider silk bags on their backs and still moved freely.

They carried twenty spider silk bags because there was only so much space on their backs, not because they could only carry that much.

They carried the raw stones and quickly walked back, watching the elytra warriors flying back and forth overhead.

Torch Lord wasn't afraid that the elytra warriors would embezzle its raw stones.

Their Elytra Kingdom had a super-large raw stone mine, with countless raw stones inside. So far, it hasn't been determined how many raw stones are inside. If they wanted raw stones, they just needed to dig some.

Suspecting them was like a poor ghost suspecting a millionaire of stealing his broken bowl, there was really no need for that.

They spent more than three days, with the help of the elytra warriors, to transport all the raw stones.

After counting the quantity, Si Ye didn't stay here for long and directly set sail back to the kingdom, while Torch Lord had to continue its traveling merchant trade here.
