Natural God's Gift

Winter was nearing its end, and the lawns within the territory were beginning to show hints of green. Fourleaf had woven a cover of spider silk and dead leaves over the entrance to its burrow, blocking out all light. It leaned against a large conch shell filled with mostly raw stones, silently absorbing natural primal force within the dim chamber. After more than two months of growth, it had finally reached the threshold for another evolution.

The kingdom had issued a portion of primal force food sufficient for it to safely evolve to the next instar. It filled its belly and then fell into a deep sleep within its chamber.

During its slumber, the primal force food it had consumed was slowly absorbed by its body, transforming into bodily energy. Under the infusion of vast internal energy, new chitinous layers grew beneath Fourleaf's carapace. However, due to the lack of air exposure, this chitinous layer was very soft, constrained within the original shell. Once Fourleaf awoke, it would be able to break free from its old carapace.

Beneath a tree outside the chamber, Torchwood Mountain Master and Little White Clover Spider stood guard. White Clover asked, "Torchwood Mountain Master, will it take long for Fourleaf to break through to the third instar?"

Torchwood Mountain Master calmly replied, "It won't take long for a little warrior to break through." Normal insectoid junior warriors could slowly evolve by absorbing natural primal force. Fourleaf, however, not only had the God-given Seed and Life as its bond, with the God-given Seed constantly absorbing natural primal force to nourish Fourleaf's body, but it also occasionally ate primal force food that strengthened its physical attributes. Its foundation was several times higher than other insects. Torchwood did not think it would take long for such a young instar to evolve.

It could sense that Fourleaf's absorption of natural primal force was very stable. It would probably only take an hour or two to molt and evolve. So it instructed, "Little White Clover, go catch a few field mice or something for Fourleaf to eat after it evolves."

"Okay," White Clover quickly left. Only these omnivorous animals were relatively abundant this time of year.

Most animals were hibernating in winter. It took White Clover more than an hour to catch a field mouse and a small calico snake.

White Clover held a rat impaled on one claw and a calico snake on the other, waving its claws back and forth. "Torchwood Mountain Master, how much longer until Fourleaf wakes up?"

"Don't be noisy, it's about to wake up." Torchwood Mountain Master sensed that the rate at which Fourleaf was absorbing primal force within the chamber was slowly decreasing.

Fourleaf awoke from within the chamber, first blankly looking around at its surroundings. Only when it felt the emptiness of hunger in its belly did it realize that it had just evolved. Its mental consciousness scanned the two spiders outside, which were quite familiar. It skillfully shed the old carapace from its body, and with its still-soft body, slowly crawled out of the chamber.

Seeing Fourleaf emerge, White Clover couldn't wait to say, "Fourleaf, you're awake! Are you hungry? Look, I've prepared a field mouse and a calico snake for you. Which one do you want to eat?"

"The field mouse, I guess." Fourleaf was very weak. It crawled to the field mouse, its sharp chelicerae piercing into the field mouse's body. Corrosive venom was injected into the field mouse's body, rapidly dissolving the field mouse's muscles into liquid. Fourleaf lay on top of it, constantly sucking. After eating more than half of the field mouse, its strength gradually returned, but its carapace was still very soft.

White Clover happily hopped around. "Fourleaf, you're finally in the third instar!"

Fourleaf was also very happy. "Yes, I'm in the third instar. I'll catch up with White Clover soon."

After three evolutions, it had also become a spider with a leg span of over ten centimeters.

White Clover said proudly, "Hmph, I'm already a fifth instar spider. If you want to catch up with me, wait another two years."

Torchwood Mountain Master stopped the two spiders from bickering. "Fourleaf, where is your second instar fate seed?"

"It's here." Fourleaf spat out a round, black seed from its fate sac. The seed was only three or four millimeters in size, and several faint green primal force lines were outlined on its surface.

Torchwood Mountain Master picked it up and felt its primal force properties. It felt that the properties of this God-given Seed should be similar to those of an ordinary morning glory fate seed, which was also a wood-type comprehensive enhancement. In simple terms, it was biased towards strengthening insects with wood-type talents.

However, the morning glory vine was small, and its enhancement ability was ordinary. Moreover, the seeds also contained toxins, so most insects didn't want this thing. In terms of the value of the fruits produced by this God-given Seed each year, it might not even be as high as the value produced by the top-tier plant fate seeds of their Flame Spider Kingdom.

However, even if it thought so, it couldn't say it. God-given Seeds were the grace of the God of Nature, and speaking carelessly would be punished by the God of Nature.

Torchwood Mountain Master returned the God-given Seed to Fourleaf. "Okay, you can recover first, and I'll take you to plant it."

"Okay," Fourleaf ran back to the chamber, put the morning glory God-given Seed back into the silk bag, re-slung the silk bag onto its back, and took out some wood-type primal force food to eat. It had woven a dozen silk bags in the Purple彩 Flame Spider tribe, earning more than twenty raw stones. It used a few of the raw stones to exchange for some small snacks, and exchanged the rest for primal force food.

After its physical strength and primal force had mostly recovered, its carapace gradually hardened, no longer as fragile as it was when it had just molted. It quickly climbed onto Torchwood Mountain Master's carapace, allowing Torchwood Mountain Master to take it and White Clover towards the outside of the Hundred Fruit Forest.

"Green Maple Lord…" On the hill planted with lucky grass, several large spiders with a leg span of three or four meters were lying around a silk greenhouse of about the same size as them. In the distance, Torchwood Mountain Master ran over quickly, and from afar, it began to release its mental consciousness to call out to Green Maple Lord, who was guarding the lucky grass.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Running up the hill, Torchwood Mountain Master saw that the spiders of the Purple Cloud Merchant Team were also lying here, feeling somewhat strange.

Greenland Mountain Master awkwardly covered up. "Hehe, we're tired from working, so we came here to rest for a while."

"Oh," After the spiders of the Purple Cloud Merchant Team completed the kingdom's orders, they had been modifying the tidal flats these days. Although Torchwood Mountain Master found it strange that they had run so far to rest here, it didn't think much about it.

Torchwood Mountain Master: "Green Maple Lord, Fourleaf has broken through to the third instar, and its morning glory God-given Seed has also completed its gestation. Where should we plant it now?"

The Purple Cloud Mountain Master on the side suggested, "Why don't we plant it between the lucky grass and the gourd beach? That way, it will be convenient to take care of the fate seed."

Green Maple Lord thought about it and felt that Purple Cloud was right, so it said, "Then let's find a suitable location for planting between here and Gourd Beach."

Purple Cloud took the initiative to volunteer. "Torchwood, I'll go with you."

Torch Mountain Master and Greenland Mountain Master immediately carried a few large stone boxes on their backs, eagerly saying, "We'll go too. We have existing fertile soil here, which can just be used to provide the best soil for the God-given Seed."

These days, they had rarely returned to their territories because of the projects on the tidal flats. The little flame spiders in the territory were taken care of by other warriors, and they slept peacefully next to the lucky grass at night.
