Dawn Spider

Chapter 57 Force Food Processing Equipment
You Chong saw it with his own eyes. Gold and Silver were taken to Shark Harbor by the bastard Red Cone. They tried to board the ship, and then the two little guys followed the Lord of the Western Snake and went to Ivory Island.

The Western Snake Lord is very famous in the Flame Spider Kingdom. He is a 9-year-old peak lord with three life seeds given by God. His strength is second only to the Spider King.

There shouldn't be any danger for gold and silver to follow it...

However, it has been 38 days and he still hasn't come back.

The Lord of Sikui Mountain was guarding the mound where the Gemu tree had taken root, feeling extremely anxious and uneasy.

...

...

"Sikui!"

A familiar spiritual call came from the north of the mountain.

Lord Famu!

The Lord of Sikui Mountain swept his spiritual power, transformed it into a red light, and flew up the mountain.

On the mountain path, Lord Famu was carrying a rusty, oversized... box? on his back, and was trudging up the mountain.

The two little guys, Jin and Yin, were running in front, jumping and skipping.

"gold!"

"silver!"

The Sikui Mountain Master was furious, "You still remember to come back!"

"..."

Jin and Yin stopped, not daring to answer, and slowly walked back, coming behind Lord Famu.

Lord Sikui asked calmly, "Lord Famu, has the incident on Ivory Island been resolved?"

Lord Famu replied, "It's resolved."

The Lord of Sikui Mountain asked, "The red cone should be back, right? Why didn't it come over?"

Lord Famu replied, "I'm afraid you'll burn it with a puff of fire."

"It still knows fear."

Lord Sikui was furious and asked curiously, "Lord Famu, what are you carrying? A creation of an alien civilization? Another treasure chest that requires a password?"

"It's not a treasure chest."

Lord Famu replied, "I don't know what it is. Jin insisted on having it, so I helped carry it here."

"Forehead……"

You can’t spoil the little soldier like this! That’s how Red Cone got spoiled.

The Lord of Sikui Mountain quickly stepped forward, observed carefully, and found that he could not help, so his eyes fell on Jin and Yin behind him.

These two little guys were also carrying things on their backs.

Looking at their unconcealable joyful expressions, did they gain a lot from the fun?
Lord Sikui asked, "Lord Famu, did you gain much this time?"

"It's big!"

Lord Famu answered affirmatively, saying, "I have obtained seven treasure chests filled with Force-food from alien civilizations. Two of them contain divinely bestowed Force-food of a quality far exceeding the King level. Once opened, I will have the capital to break through and evolve into a Spider King."

"!!!"

The Sikui Mountain Lord stretched out his eight spider legs and quickly made way. A thought flashed through his mind, and he asked with some envy, "The other lords also had good harvests, right?"

Lord Famu said, "This time, we've unearthed at least 1141 treasure chests filled with Force Food, including 1000 ordinary treasure chests and another 141 divinely bestowed Force Food chests. They've been divided up by the lord-level warriors of the Flame Spider Kingdom and the Ivory Island Kingdom. If they're successfully opened, a large number of Spider Kings and Insect Kings will surely be born."

Mountain Master Sikui was once again filled with envy and asked, "What about the Mountain Master-level warriors? How did that fellow Hongzhui harvest?"

Lord Famu replied, "The harvest from the red cone was quite good. 1.5 wooden beads, worth at least 15 raw stones. There was also an artifact used by an alien civilization to store seeds, which is also valuable, worth at least 1 raw stones. It's almost enough for it to evolve into a 4th-stage Mountain Lord."

"Oh--"

The Lord of Silk Kui Mountain asked tentatively, "Then, what about the Spider Kings?"

Lord Famu said, "We asked the Kashiwa Spider King, and he only said he took five treasure chests filled with God-given Force food. There must be more than that. It is a very important relic of the alien civilization, but when we entered, many rooms were empty, and we didn't find a single alien corpse..."

"The ten insect kings made the first selection. They took away all the really good stuff. They refused to tell us what it was, so we don't know."

As they were telling the story, they arrived at the northern hillside, the entrance of the cave where Jin lived.

Lord Sikui and Lord Famu worked together and struggled to get the things into the living room of the cave.

The Sikui Mountain Master asked again, "This thing is extremely heavy. You carried it back from such a long distance. Do you have any idea what you are going to use it for?"

Lord Famu then asked, "Jin, what do you want this for? Did you see something?"

Yin stepped forward, raised his claws and scraped the place where the blisters had formed. With two hissing sounds, a layer of paint peeled off. He tried to inject the Force again, but it didn't work at all.

Yin said seriously, "This thing is broken. Based on my experience, good things will react when injected into the Force."

How old are you? What experience do you have?

Jin kicked it open and said, "I don't know what it's used for, but it's not hard to guess that it must be something good."

"do not know?"

"infer?"

“Is it necessarily a good thing?”

There was a glint in the eyes of Lord Sikui and Lord Famu, waiting for what was to come.

Yin leaned closer and asked, "Fourth brother, how did you deduce that?"

Jin chose his words carefully and said slowly, "According to my observations, the underground ruins, on the first floor, are where the alien civilization processes Force food. The Force food produced by plants is sent there, and then processed through large equipment into boxes of metal boxes..." Lord Famu said, "That's right. All the Insect Kings think so."

Jin said, "But the second underground floor is a warehouse for storing plant seeds. I don't understand the purpose of this alien civilization storing seeds... but it's clear that its building defenses are higher than those of the first underground floor."

"The second and first underground floors are two separate treasure houses, each with its own distinct function."

"This thing was found on the second underground floor, but it clearly doesn't belong there. Looking closely, it's very similar to the rotten but still recognizable Force food processing equipment on the first underground floor."

"Also, alien civilizations should have two types of processing equipment: one for processing ordinary Force food, and one for processing God-given Force food."

"There's a lot of regular Force food, so there's a lot of equipment, and it's huge."

"Divine Force food is scarce, so the corresponding equipment should be less, or smaller. Similarly, it should also be much more expensive."

"Combining this information, I speculate that this is probably a device specifically used to process God-given Force food. In an emergency, it was moved from the first underground floor to the second underground floor with a higher level of defense."

After Jin finished his analysis, he added, "The second underground floor is better protected, and the equipment is also of high quality. Therefore, it's just the outer coating that's corroded and peeling, so it doesn't appear to be broken."

"..."

Yin was stunned when he heard this.

Lord Famu and Lord Sikui looked at each other and glared.

Is this a primary little flame spider that has been awakened for a year and a half?

Those old insect spirits who have lived for hundreds of years have never thought so much or so deeply.

Lord Famu asked, "Jin, this thing doesn't channel the Force... What else have you seen or thought of? How do you use this device?"

"Not sure yet."

Jin said, "Check it over carefully, try everywhere, try to inject the Force."

"Try it!"

"Jin, Yin, please stand a little further away."

Lord Famu and Lord Sikui circled around the equipment, gathering the Force at their toes, trying again and again.

When Lord Famu reached the top panel, where the paint had severely peeled off, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's working!"

At the same time, there was a slight sound of a metal mechanism, and on the left side of the device, a square metal cover about 15 cm long popped open from the metal plate that was originally so tightly fitted that even mental power could not find a gap.

Hidden within the metal cover was a complex network of energy patterns, arranged in a hexagonal pattern. At the vertex of each side, there was a groove...

"This is……"

Sikui Mountain Master came forward and examined it carefully, hesitantly saying, "This shape is very similar to the original stone! Could it be that the original stone is needed? To consume the Force to power the equipment and process the God-given Force food?"

Lord Famu said, "Anything that needs to function must consume energy. Force-related equipment must be driven by the energy of the stone."

Without saying a word, Lord Sikui left the cave at high speed, and returned with a bag of raw stones and a bag of God-given Force food.

The Lord of Sikui Mountain opened the bag, and the spider silk wrapped around the raw stone just fit into the groove of the equipment.

Jin manipulated a spider silk rope and closed the lid.

Lord Famu continued to grope around the large area of ​​paint peeling on the top of the device, and soon found another point where he could inject the Force.

A green screen appeared, with a row of dark black characters:

[Gene agent container is empty, please fill it]

Lord Famu manipulated the spider silk and poked at the characters randomly.

no response.

Jin prompted, "This has a lot of characters. It looks like there's something wrong with the device, or there's a step missing. Try somewhere else."

Lord Famu continued to explore the large area of ​​paint peeling on the top of the device, and soon found a hidden point that could be used to inject the Force.

A clicking sound.

On the side of the device, a square metal cover with a side length of about 40 cm pops open.

Pull open and check.

At the back are four rows of five circular deep holes, for a total of 20 deep holes.

"There's something missing here..."

Jin was worried that Lord Famu might damage the equipment through careless manipulation, so he analyzed it in a serious manner and said, "We need to insert some kind of cylindrical object into this place..."

Lord Famu thought for a moment and said calmly, "I know what's missing!"

Jin asked in surprise, "What?"

"A container for sealing Force food!"

Lord Famu explained, "When you open the metal box containing the Force Food, you'll find 10 metal tubes inside that match the size and depth of the cavity. The Force Food is sealed inside these metal tubes."

"Since this equipment is used to process Force food, it obviously needs that kind of metal tube as a container to receive the processed Force food."

"Understood!"

Jin suddenly realized something and continued his analysis, "The first step is to place the raw stones to provide energy for the equipment. The second step is to place the metal tubes to receive the processed Force food. The third step should be to put the Force food to be processed into the equipment and start it up."

"It must be so!"

Lord Famu said excitedly, "We don't have that kind of metal tube right now, so we can't continue experimenting for now. But wait a few years, and once we've cracked open the thousand or so metal boxes we've found in the ruins... then this device will be able to function properly."

"That's going to take a long time..."

Jin showed a disappointed look and said helplessly: "This is the only way."
