Dawn Spider

Chapter 33 Relics of Civilization!

"Goodbye, Lord Yun Mushroom."

"Goodbye, Lord Yadou Mountain!"

"Goodbye, Master Jinyang!"

"Goodbye Chui Si..."

After bidding farewell late at night, the Lord of Red Cone Mountain returned to Rosewood Peak carrying gold and silver.

Lord Famu is not here, as he has gone to the southern continent to trade on his turn.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain led Gold and Silver to visit his territory, pay homage to the seeds bestowed by the God of Famu, and introduce them to the 14 Flame Spider warriors of all sizes on the mountain. He was busy until midnight.

Rest in the middle of the night,

The next morning, we set out on our journey, continuing eastward along the mountain range. Our next stop was the Purple Su Peak of the Spider Lord...

Flame spiders have eight legs and eight eyes, and they have a special liking for the number eight.

From west to east, there are eight mountain peaks connected by Purple Clerodendrum, Red Sandalwood, Perilla, Redbud, Purple Winged Vine, Jacaranda, Purple Pearl, and Purple Cicada. They are all descendants of the Kashiwa Spider King. There are more than a hundred warriors, big and small, and they are all "close relatives" with blood ties to gold and silver.

The master of Hongzhui Mountain led them to visit each of them one by one.

Rich and poor, seeing Gold and Silver carrying large and small bags of gifts they had collected on the road, the other spiders felt embarrassed to not give them something, so they had to give them something, whether more or less.

Finally, we rested at Zichan Peak for half the night and set off early the next morning.

Continuing eastward, they encountered spiders with distant blood ties. The Lord of Red Cone Mountain evaded the question, saying he didn't know them, wasn't familiar with them, and refused to visit them. He took the gold and silver and headed straight for Haimeng Peak.

...

...

"Gold! Silver! Look over there!"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain stood on the ridge, raising his paw and pointing into the distance.

In the distance stands a towering green mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

In the clouds and mist, you can vaguely see a towering tree about three or four hundred meters high.

"Is that mountain the Haimeng Peak?"

"Yes."

"That tree is..."

"A king-level God-given seed!"

Gold and silver shock.

The Red Cone Mountain Lord said, "That tree is the ancestral tree from which our Flame Spider tribe rose to prominence. It's a king-level wild sea lemon tree, a divinely gifted seed. Initially, our tribe survived, evolved, and grew under the protection of its energy field. Over two thousand years, it has grown to its current size."

"Oh!"

Gold and Silver stood in awe.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain raised his paw and pointed down the mountain, "Look over there!"

On the south side of the mountain, in the vast jungle, there is a crimson square with solidified earth-type power. This is the third large-scale civilization project that Jin has seen in the Zerg world, in addition to reservoirs and canals.

"What is the square at the foot of the mountain used for?"

"Jin, you're smart, guess what."

"The kingdom regularly gathers goods and ships them to the southern continent for trade. Is this square a distribution center for goods? Perhaps it also serves as a gathering place for the island's Flame Spider warriors and alien warriors, allowing them to exchange what they have."

"……Correct."

The Red Cone Mountain Lord suddenly felt bored and reminded him, "Sea Lemon Peak is the origin of the Flame Spider Tribe, the concentrated cultivation site of wild God-given seeds, and the territory of the five Spider Kings. The other spiders living here are mostly the Spider King's most beloved and closest direct descendants. Be careful when walking, don't wander around, and don't talk nonsense."

"Be obedient and behave yourself. After we finish this, I'll take you to a fun place."

"know."

"clear."

Gold and Silver agreed.

Yin Xiji asked, "What fun places are there?"

Golden Fox asked, "Are there any other fun places in the Flame Spider Kingdom?"

The Red Cone Mountain Master said mysteriously, "It's a secret for now! It's really fun, and I guarantee it'll open your eyes!"

"What's so fun?"

"Eye-opener?"

"Do the Zerg also have entertainment venues? Aren't they just a bunch of female spiders entertaining customers?"

Jin and Yin followed up with questions.

An entertainment venue? A female spider? Serving customers? The Red Cone Mountain Master was puzzled for a moment, but without further ado, he set off.

...

A cave was dug under a vertical cliff at a height of forty to fifty meters. There were two elm trees on the left and right of the cave entrance, about two hundred meters apart, with their roots almost at the same level as the cliff.

An old flame spider exuding the aura of old age and decline.

The stone walls of the cave were carved into layers of shelves, on which square black metal boxes with a side length of about one meter were neatly arranged.

"Red Sandalwood Peak, I am Hong Zui, a direct descendant of Lord Famu, and I am honored to meet Lord Mangyu!"

After entering the territory of Haimeng Peak, the Lord of Hongzui Mountain's steps became steady and his tone of voice became respectful and humble.

"Oh. Kashiki's junior..."

Lord Mangyu's gaze fell directly on the gold and silver above the head of the Lord of Hongzui Mountain, and then he stared at the gold.

"Meet Lord Mangyu!"

Gold and Silver raised their front legs to greet.

"Is this the little lightning mutant warrior that was so talked about last year?"

Lord Mangyu asked curiously, as if he had seen a rare treasure. The Lord of Red Cone Mountain replied, "Yes. It's called gold. The first life seed is a seed given by the Golden Leaf Vine God."

"Yeah. Yeah. I heard about it."

"The legs are a little short, the body is a little fat, and the appearance is a little ugly. Well, well, the color of the shell is quite beautiful."

Lord Mangyu commented, glanced at Yin, and asked, "Two little warriors?"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain replied, "It is called 'Silver', and the first tree it planted is called 'Silver Leaf Tree'."

"Both of these little guys were born in Sikui Mountain. They are both descendants of the Sikui Mountain Master. I have been helping out at Sikui Mountain and brought them here to register them."

"Understood. Please wait a moment."

Lord Mangyu went straight to the shelf on the side of the cave, took a quick look, raised his claws to take down a metal box, opened it, and inside were square stone slabs made and reinforced with earth-based abilities.

He searched among a pile of stone slabs and soon found one. He concentrated his energy on the tips of his toes and began to carve it.

Jin and Yin were curious and used their mental power to scan.

"Family tree?"

"These spiders are really interesting..."

Jin pondered.

——A very vivid ‘text’.

——It cannot be called "writing", it can only be regarded as pictographic characters of primitive civilization.

Above the stone slab, in the middle is a mountain peak and a Sikui tree leaf, which should represent 'Sikui Mountain'.

Further down, there was a leaf of a Famu tree painted with colorful dyes, with an unknown prefix next to it, probably referring to the 'Lord of Famu'.

Further down, there is a leaf of the Sikui tree, also rendered with colored dyes, with a prefix of complex strokes, which probably refers to the 'Lord of Sikui Mountain'.

Lord Mangyu continued to carve slowly and steadily with the tip of his front toes. Soon, a leaf of the tin-leaf vine was carved out, and a character prefix was also added.

Next comes the leaves of the silver tree, with the character prefix.

Gold and silver are side by side, representing warriors of the same generation, all of whom are direct descendants of Lord Sikui Mountain.

Engraved well,

He also took dye and colored the tin-leaved vine.

"All right."

Lord Mangyu briefly explained, "Warriors with God-given seeds have their names colored. Warriors without God-given seeds have no color. Little one, if you obtain God-given seeds in the future, remember to come to me to register and add the color."

silver:"……"

Yin said firmly, "I will definitely have it!"

Lord Mangyu asked, "Would you like to participate in the kingdom's 'Fire of the Flame Spider'?"

The Red Cone Mountain Master replied, "Si Kui Mountain is too far from Hai Meng Peak, so it's not easy to join."

Lord Mangyu then asked, "Would you like to join the garrison on Hongying Island?"

The Red Cone Mountain Master replied, "It's too small. I'll consider it after I reach the Mountain Master level."

Lord Mangyu then asked, "Can Sikui afford to raise two little warriors at the same time? Do they need a lot of growth resources?"

The Red Cone Mountain Master said, "Si Kui said it can afford to raise two."

"it is good."

Lord Mangyu said nothing more, put away the stone slab, put away the metal box, and with a thought, two oversized spider silk bags flew out from the back of the cave.

The kingdom gave two large bags full of 2000 raw stones as a subsidy to the newborn warriors.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain packed up, thanked him repeatedly, and left with the gold and silver.

Go down the mountain, across the square, through the woodland where many species of life have taken root, and into the wild, original rainforest.

"Lord Red Cone, where are we going?"

"interesting place?"

"I will take you to Huangdan Mountain, the territory of the Lord of Garcinia Mountain."

"doing what?"

"Play... treasure hunting!"

"Treasure digging? What treasure are you digging for?"

"The remains of alien civilizations, the treasures of alien civilizations buried underground!"

"Alien civilization?"

Jin, who had been nonchalant and had no expectations of the spider's 'funny places', was suddenly perked up when he heard this and asked, "What alien civilization?"

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain said, "This planet we live on must have once had a very powerful civilization, but it was destroyed. It was truly destroyed. This civilization was buried deep in the earth and the ocean."

"The Lord of Garcinia Mountain is a Rhinoceros-Rhinoceros Beetle warrior with awakened earth talent. He lives alone in the jungle south of the Sea Lemon Mountains. He must have heard from a Flame Spider warrior who had traded with the southern continent that there were ruins of an alien civilization buried underground, and that some insects had made a fortune by digging for them. So he started digging in his own territory, and he actually found something."

"There's water seeping underground, and if you dig a certain distance down, it will be flooded, making excavation very difficult."

"So, it sought cooperation with the Water Armor Tribe warriors who excelled in water-based abilities."

"Because the ruins have existed for so long, perhaps tens of thousands of years, perhaps millions of years, or even longer, most of the items inside have long since been soaked and decayed."

"Of course, a very small number of 'treasures' have been preserved. Most of these 'treasures' are damaged but not completely destroyed, and a very small number of 'real treasures' have been preserved intact."

"The owner of Garcinia Mountain dug up one!"

"It's said to be a combat weapon, usable by all warriors. It can be manipulated with mental power, just like controlling spider silk. It moves at will and is indestructible. Our Kashiwa Spider King bought it for the whopping price of one million raw gems."

"However, they've been digging for over a decade, and they've only found this one valuable item. They've wasted their time managing their territory, so overall, they're losing money."

"Later, a clever spider came up with an idea. Why not open it up to other curious warriors or those who dream of getting rich quickly? They could charge 100 rough stones per day, and anyone they dug up could take home."

The Red Cone Mountain Master was full of confidence and said, "Gold, Silver, I'll take you there to try your luck!"
