#82 - Insects looking for their way home
Purple Cloud Mountain Master pointed a claw at the stall: "Lord Dingfeng, take a look, is there anything else you need?"
"Let me see," this batch of Origin Force food that Lord Dingfeng is purchasing is for the insects within the tribe who have the potential to advance to the Mountain Master level. After purchasing for the tribe, he also needs to purchase the Origin Force food he needs himself.
He suddenly looked at two huge jackfruits and asked: "Why are these jackfruits transported here whole? Aren't they sold by the seed?"
"Jackfruit, huh?" Purple Cloud Mountain Master raised a claw and picked up one of the two jackfruits: "This jackfruit is produced in the territory of our kingdom's high-level warriors. It's sold whole by the pound, thirty Origin Stones per pound. Do you want to buy it?"
Huoma Mountain Master of the Silkworm Moth tribe said in surprise: "Not sold by the seed?"
Purple Cloud Mountain Master: "Selling by the seed is also possible, but once one is peeled, all of it must be sold."
Huoma Mountain Master shook his antennae: "Thirty Origin Stones per pound is too expensive."
Greenland Mountain Master took the jackfruit from Purple Cloud Mountain Master's claw, placed it back on the stall, and explained: "We plan to sell this to the Woodscale Armor tribe. Woodscale Armors love to gnaw on trees. When we sell them a jackfruit,
they can eat it from the inside out. It's very popular."
"I see!" The Silkworm Moth tribe expressed understanding. Each tribe has different customs. Sometimes other merchant groups will also buy some extra life-essence tree leaves from other tribes for them to eat. The price is cheap, and they also like to eat them.
The lords and mountain masters of the Silkworm Moth tribe didn't dwell on the jackfruit and continued to select other Origin Force foods.
The types of Origin Force foods that Purple Cloud Mountain Master and the others brought were extremely numerous, with hundreds of different kinds. Among them were those produced by the warriors of the tribe, those traded with other traveling merchants, and those from various divinely-bestowed seeds that had fruited within the tribe. The big fluttering moths were dazzled.
What surprised the little spiders was that these Silkworm Moths didn't take out Origin Force food or Origin Stones to exchange for the Origin Force food. They simply took the Origin Force food and had Torch Mountain Master calculate the bill, then took out rolls of silk to give to Torch Mountain Master.
Siyue kicked the spider next to her with her hind leg, unable to restrain her worry: "Peony, why isn't there any Origin Force food being traded? What's the use of collecting those silk rolls? Oh no, Purple Cloud Mountain Master and the others aren't being scammed, are they?"
Peony:
"....."
Peony: "What they have in their claws are called silk rolls, which are similar to our spider silk rolls. In Mulberry Ridge, silk rolls can replace Origin Force food as a bargaining chip. When we leave, we can exchange the silk rolls for Origin Force food to take with us."
Although Peony said so, Siyue and Bai Zhi were still worried: "I heard that silkworms can spin silk. There's an endless supply of these silk rolls. Won't they refuse to exchange them for us?"
"No, they won't," Peony comforted them. "These are woven from silk spun by Mountain Master-level Silkworm warriors. They have universally recognized numbers on them.
Silk rolls are divided into two types: Divinely-Bestowed silk rolls and ordinary silk rolls. As long as you have the silk rolls, you can exchange them for anything from the Silkworm Moth tribe. They serve the same purpose as our Flame Spider Kingdom's spider silk rolls."
"Oh," although Peony said so, the other little spiders were still somewhat uneasy.
"Zhi la — — — —" A cicada's cry came from the horizon. A large cicada flew quickly towards the trading plaza from the sky, then landed on the big tree above the Flame Spider traveling merchant.
"Danggui," Lord Dingfeng waved his antennae, signaling him to come down from the tree.
"Zhi la — . —" The big cicada flew down from the tree.
Lord Dingfeng asked the big cicada if he had completed the task: "Have you notified the other insects about the arrival of the Flame Spider traveling merchants?"
Danggui emitted a cicada's cry: "Zhi la — — - Notified."
"Good!" Lord Dingfeng took out a peach pit from the Origin Force food bag and handed it to Danggui. The black cicada has a dual Water and Wood talent potential, and this wood-type peach pit is perfect for him to eat.
"Thank you, Lord Dingfeng." The big cicada happily accepted the peach pit and then placed it in a silk bag on its abdomen.
Just then, Lord Dingfeng turned his body towards Purple Cloud Mountain Master and said: "Chief Purple Cloud, this little guy is named Danggui. He was born in Mulberry Ridge last autumn as an Origin Force warrior.
Since his birth last year, he has been living in Mulberry Ridge. I sometimes ask him to run errands and exchange a little Origin Force food for him.
But we are the Silkworm Moth tribe, and Danggui is a black cicada. It's not a good thing for him to stay here without any support, so I'm asking if you can take him back to his tribe?"
Purple Cloud Mountain Master looked at the big cicada who was looking at him expectantly, and then looked at Lord Dingfeng, feeling a little headache.
He had noticed this little cicada when he was chatting with Siyue and the others just now, and he had guessed that Lord Dingfeng might ask their merchant group to take him away, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
After considering it, he still said: "Lord Dingfeng, in principle, sending the little warriors born in the wild and in other tribes back to their tribes is the task of our Flame Spider traveling merchants.
But currently, there is a not-small problem that cannot be solved. Our Flame Spider traveling merchants have been traveling for hundreds of years, and have never heard of cicadas having a tribe. Even if I wanted to send him, I wouldn't know where to send him?"
"Ah?" Hearing Purple Cloud Mountain Master say this, Lord Dingfeng was also a little dumbfounded. He thought that there were so many races in the Origin Force Star Realm, there would always be one or two small cicada tribes, right? But Purple Cloud Mountain Master said he had never even heard of them.
He couldn't help but say: "Chief Purple Cloud, haven't you even heard of a single cicada Origin Force warrior?"
Purple Cloud Mountain Master: "I've heard of a few, but they used to be alone, and I don't know if they have formed a tribe."
"I see! Then what should we do?" Lord Dingfeng was also very embarrassed. A cicada Origin Force warrior staying in their Mulberry Ridge doesn't have any resources to evolve, and they can't bear to watch him die of old age.
But their own tribe doesn't have enough resources, and they can't possibly give resources to a foreign insect to evolve, right?
Also, how should the territory be divided? Whose would it be if a divinely-bestowed seed appeared in the territory?
"Like this," Purple Cloud Mountain Master thought for a while, and still decided to take on this matter: "Let him follow our merchant group first. We'll inquire about it while traveling. If we can find his elders, we'll send him to his fellow clan elders."
"That's fine too."
Lord Dingfeng's claws gently stroked Danggui's little head: "Little Danggui, you'll follow the Purple Cloud Merchant Group for a while. Remember, you have to find your elders to grow up."
"Got it, Lord Dingfeng." Although Danggui was a little reluctant to leave his days in Mulberry Ridge and his little friends here, he also knew that he ultimately didn't belong here.
Lord Dingfeng: "Chief Purple Cloud, from now on, Danggui will be in your care."
Although Danggui is not their clan, they watched him being born, and they also have some feelings for him. If their tribe was wealthy enough and had sufficient resources, perhaps they would have kept Danggui in the tribe.
The reason why Lord Dingfeng let Danggui go with the Purple Cloud Merchant Group so early was also because of his consideration. He has been trading with the Purple Cloud Merchant Group for many years, and he knows a little about the Purple Cloud Merchant Group. Although the Flame Spiders are greedy, they are not without a bottom line. The reputation of this merchant group can still be guaranteed.
He saw that there were many little Flame Spiders in the merchant group, and he planned to let Danggui stay in the merchant group first and interact with them more. After they became familiar, Danggui would have friends in the merchant group, so he wouldn't be afraid, sad, or worried when he left.
To take a step back, if the little spiders in the merchant group were too domineering and bullied little Danggui, then they could also cut their losses in time and not let the merchant group take little Danggui away.
