Natural God's Gift
#50 - Small talk
Siye smoothed the spider silk on its body, pretending to be calm as it greeted the spiders of the Ziyun Merchant Team: "Mountain Lord Ziyun, Mountain Lord Torch, Mountain Lord Green Field, Longya, hello!"
"Siye," the spiders of the Ziyun Merchant Team, seeing the two little spiders, lowered their guard. Several spiders ran forward, curiously examining the two little warriors.
Mountain Lord Ziyun withdrew its ability. It walked up to Siye and the other, looked at them, and then at the golden teapot, immediately understanding the situation. They must have found some way to evade Longya's supervision and hide in the teapot. The little spiders were so small that they didn't notice in their rush to move goods, allowing them to sneak out.
Mountain Lord Ziyun, with its massive body, stood before the two little spiders, radiating authority without anger: "Siye, what are you doing here?"
Siye saw the serious expression on Mountain Lord Ziyun's face, and the many reasons it had concocted in its mind suddenly became unspeakable: "I, I also want to travel with you merchants."
"You are so bold!" At this time, even Mountain Lord Torch, who was usually more lively, sternly criticized them.
Mountain Lord Green Field couldn't help but say, "Did you tell Lord Qingfeng and Mountain Lord Huzhang that you were running out like this?"
Baizhi looked left and right, sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, and said with a chuckle: "Zexie is in the kingdom, it knows we're out, and it will tell Mountain Lord Huzhang and the others."
Mountain Lord Torch scolded without reservation: "Isn't it good to stay safely at home? Running out to suffer? You're really too full."
Siye felt a little aggrieved: "The spiders in the kingdom aren't allowed to produce life seeds before becoming advanced warriors, saying it affects plant growth. Although the kingdom's resources can supply my own growth, I have three divine gifts, and they need a lot of raw stones every time they evolve. I also want to go out and earn some raw stones for my life seeds to grow and evolve."
Hearing Siye's words, the big spiders' attitude softened somewhat, but they were still very stern: "How many raw stones can a little spider like you earn? We'll give you the resources you need for your life seed evolution when we go back at the end of the year. Why do you need to earn those meager amounts?"
Siye shook its little spider head repeatedly: "Mountain Lord Ziyun, you all still owe the kingdom origin points. You yourselves aren't rich. I heard Mountain Lord Huzhang say that if you don't have enough resources, you can't evolve upwards. I can't be a burden to you."
"Little fellow," the spiders of the Ziyun Merchant Team were a little touched by Siye's words, but still said impolitely: "Then what can a little spider like you do? The few raw stones you earn aren't even enough to feed yourself. The Ziyun Merchant Team doesn't lack those few raw stones, even if we're short."
Siye said timidly: "Earning one is still earning one."
Mountain Lord Ziyun: "…"
Mountain Lord Torch: "…"
Mountain Lord Green Field: "Ziyun, should I take a trip and send them all back?"
"No, no, little spider doesn't want to go back," the two little warriors shook their heads constantly: "We want to do business, we want to find divine gift seeds, we want to become rich spiders."
Mountain Lord Green Field: "…"
Mountain Lord Ziyun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take them along for now. If you take them back now, it will be a journey of more than ten days. We can't carry extra cargo and have to wait for you here.
After so long, Huzhang and the others should know that these two guys ran out. If Huzhang wants to take them back, they should be on their way."
"That's right," for Ember Spider merchants, time is raw stones. They really don't have so much free time to send two little warriors back and forth. How much time would that waste?
Hearing that they wouldn't be sent back, Siye and Baizhi cheered: "Thank you, Mountain Lord Ziyun, thank you, Mountain Lord Green Field, thank you, Mountain Lord Torch."
Mountain Lord Torch warned the two: "Now that you're with the merchant team, you can't run around. Otherwise, I'll break your legs if I catch you."
"Got it." The two little spiders were so frightened that they hurriedly tucked their eight legs under their bodies, obediently staring at Mountain Lord Torch with big eyes.
Mountain Lord Ziyun manipulated spider silk threads to slice a mountain jackal and handed it to Siye and the others to eat: "Were you hungry every day in the teapot?"
Siye and the others responded while wolfing down the food: "We had raw energy food."
"Then it seems you have some brains."
At this time, the other spiders of the merchant team, seeing that there was no danger, also approached. Longya's eyes were unkind: "Little spiders, did you trick me into carrying goods and then sneak into the teapot?"
No wonder these little spiders were so enthusiastic. So they wanted to escape the kingdom. How bad.
The two little spiders grinned foolishly: "Hehe, Longya, sorry. We didn't trick you. Didn't the merchant team leave at night?"
At this time, another spider about the same size as Longya walked forward: "Hello, I'm Tiexian."
It pointed to the little spiders on its back with its spider claw: "These are my juniors, Shaoyao and Mudan."
"Hello," the two little spiders on Tiexian's back introduced themselves generously: "I'm Shaoyao, a seven-year-old elementary Watanabe Ember Spider warrior."
"I'm Mudan, a seven-year-old elementary Watanabe Ember Spider warrior."
Siye and Baizhi also put down their food, wiped their mouths, and introduced themselves: "Siye, a three-year-old elementary Original Ember Spider warrior."
"Baizhi, a five-year-old elementary Original Ember Spider warrior."
"Siye, you're so small." Mudan slid down from Tiexian's head, fiddling with Siye's small body.
"I'm still three years old. I'll grow up soon." Siye let it fiddle, burying its head in the meat and gnawing.
"Mudan, don't disturb little Siye from eating." Of the two elementary Watanabe Ember Spider warriors, Shaoyao was more steady, and Mudan was more mischievous.
The spiders ate their fill and rested. Shaoyao and Mudan had been staying on the big spider's back, so they were more energetic at the moment: "Baizhi, Siye, you secretly ran out to trade with us? Why don't I see much raw energy food on your backs?"
Siye unnaturally pulled at the flat spider silk bag on its back, feeling slightly embarrassed: "Little spiders are poor and don't have raw stones to buy raw energy food."
Baizhi glanced at Mudan's carapace and retorted unconvincingly: "I don't see much raw energy food on you either."
Mudan wasn't angry. It giggled: "We work for Mountain Lord Ziyun. We get a commission for doing things for the merchant team."
"Ah?" Siye and Baizhi looked at each other in dismay. They didn't seem to have heard that the merchant team worked that way.
"How many raw stones do you get for working for Mountain Lord Ziyun?"
Talking about business, Mudan spoke eloquently to Siye and Baizhi: "When we followed Lord Cheqian before, the big warriors in the merchant team would distribute some raw energy food to us to peddle to the little warriors in other tribes. We could get a tenth of the profit, and it's the same with Mountain Lord Ziyun and the others."
"So much?" Baizhi and Siye were both envious and annoyed: "We snuck out, and we don't have much raw energy food. And we little warriors don't produce raw energy food ourselves. Now we don't have raw stones either. I wonder if we can weave spider silk bags to sell?"
"We can, but we little warriors can only weave small spider silk bags. A small spider silk bag usually sells for two to three raw stones in the insectoid tribe…"
The topics discussed among the little warriors were trivial matters. No spider cared. They quietly recovered their energy, so they could enter other tribes in the best condition.
Siye and Baizhi seemed to be stimulated, squatting in the corner of the cave, weaving spider silk bags. However, the little spiders had poor skills and slow speed. They could only weave one spider silk bag each day. In two days and one night, after deducting sleep time, they had only woven three to five spider silk bags each.
After resting for two days and one night, Mountain Lord Ziyun and the others were full of energy, stood up, and greeted the playing little warriors: "Little spiders, it's time to continue."
