Dawn Spider

Chapter 6 Mist Beads
The jungle turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the flames illuminated the mountain peaks.

The heat is rolling.

Lei Linan took root near the foot of the mountain, beneath the shade of a tree, on a large, sloping expanse of earth. There were no other trees around, only small shrubs and grass. The extraordinary lightning power he had previously unleashed had instantly burned these shrubs and grass to charcoal ash.

Hundreds of old spiders obviously knew something. They scattered and ran around, searching for something in the grass and charcoal ashes.

"Fourth brother?"

Thirteen rubbed his claws together and made a puzzled sound.

Jin guessed, "It should be that the Wuling will drop something valuable after being killed. Let's go and look for it."

"Something of value?"

Thirteen followed beside Jin, and the two brothers walked side by side, looking left and right and searching.

Within two minutes, three spiders who were also searching together not far away cheered.

Jin and Shisan hurried over to check.

I saw an old spider holding a pale blue crystal bead in its chelicerae, its front legs waving as it drew silk to wrap it around...

As Jin and Shisan approached, the three spiders immediately became alert, raising their chelicerae and forelegs in a fighting posture. But when they saw that the two spiders were sub-adults, their eyes were clear and they knew they were not here to steal anything, so they relaxed.

"Old elders, what are you doing...what is this?"

Thirteen asked curiously.

"The mist beads dropped after the mist spirit is killed."

A spider answered.

"Oh...what's the use?"

Thirteen, ask for advice humbly.

A spider replied, "It can help Force warriors gain abilities. We don't need it, but we can exchange it for food with Lord Sikui or Lord Famu."

Another spider explained in detail, "Ordinary insects or beasts parasitized by mist spirits become 'evil spirits.' Evil spirits are dangerous, but because they are 'half-Force life forms,' their meat is exceptionally delicious. They can strengthen the physiques of ordinary flame spiders, prolong their lifespans, and even increase the probability of Force awakening."

While they were talking, the Flame Spider, having found the 'Mist Bead', wrapped it up with spider silk. Finally, it pulled out a thick strand of spider silk, wrapped it around its back, and added:

"After the fog tide, a large number of 'evil spirits' will inevitably be born in the rainforest and ocean. The Flame Spider Warriors will go out to search and kill them. They will also bring back a large amount of high-quality food to the territory. When the time comes, we can exchange them for 'fog beads'."

Thirteen: "Oh!"

Jin: “Oh!”

Jin understood.

The fog tide is probably a test from the God of Nature to the Zerg warriors, and at the same time as the test, there are generous rewards.

But then I thought about it...

"That's wrong!"

Jin chased after the three old Flame Spiders as they set out to continue their search, asking, "We Flame Spiders are Fire-type, while the Mist Spirits and Mist Spiders are clearly Water-type. Their Force attributes don't match, right?"

A flame spider replied, "As far as I know, they can be exchanged. There are similar fire-related 'Fire Spirits' and 'Flame Orbs' elsewhere."

A flame spider turned and stared at Jin, rubbing its claws together and saying, "You little spider, you must have eaten the fruit of the God-Gifted Seed of Lei Linan, right? You're lucky to be alive. Have you mutated? Are you a lightning-type now? Similarly, you must have a 'Thunder Spirit' and a 'Thunder Pearl'."

A flame spider said, "The Flame Spider Kingdom has a special team that sets out regularly every year, crossing the ocean to the southern continent to exchange Force food and other treasures with other Zerg warriors. We've seen them before in Lord Famu's territory. Every year, they bring back a lot of goods."

"Understood!"

"Let's look for it too."

Jin waved his claws and called out to Thirteen, "Quick! Quick! Quick! Move! Find it quickly!"

...

...

Lei Linan's attack range exceeded a radius of 500 meters. However, the number of fog spirits that attacked the mountain in a roundabout way was not large.

What’s annoying is that more and more brave spiders keep coming down and joining the search team.

until late at night,

The fire in the distance quickly shrank and died down.

Is the fog over?
The two brothers Jin and Shisan got nothing.

"Fourth brother, if there are any 'evil spirits' hunted next, Lord Sikui will definitely give us a share, right?"

"Absolutely."

"Then what are we even bothering to look for?"

"Find it, hide it, and use it when we awaken and become Force warriors in the future."

"Oh!"

Thirteen cheered up and said, "Then let's find it quickly!"

"Forget it. I won't look for it anymore."

Jin was very depressed. He stopped and looked around. He said, "There are too many spiders. There is no chance."

Thirteen suggested, "Fourth Brother, the fire has stopped. Let's go to where the flames burned. There must be something there!"

"No rush. No risks."

Jin called out, "Let's go up the mountain first and take a look at the situation." The two brothers ran quickly, returned to the mountainside, climbed to the top of the tree given by the God of Silk Kui, and lay on the high place to look around.

The fire spread outward for two or three kilometers from the mountain peak.

The fire on the east, west and south sides of the mountain, which was under the charge of the lord-level Flame Spider Warriors, has been completely extinguished. Only a few scattered trees are still burning. A ball of red fire cloud is floating rapidly, extinguishing all flames wherever it passes.

At this time, the lord-level flame spider warrior was busy putting out the fire.

He ran to the back of the mountain, that is, the north side, to check, and saw that the master of Sikui Mountain was also busy putting out the fire.

"Fourth brother, are you safe?"

"I'm not sure... wait... let's see..."

Jin led Thirteen and stood on the mountain path. He observed patiently for a while, then waved his claws and called them down the mountain.

The fire almost reached the foot of the mountain. With precise control, it did not burn the vital plants planted at the foot of the mountain. However, the botanical garden that the owner of Sikui Mountain had painstakingly cultivated in the north of the mountain was completely burned down.

There were tree stumps everywhere that had not been completely burned out and still had embers on them, sticking out from the ground, highlighting the brutality of the battle that had just taken place.

The ground was covered with burnt branches that had fallen to the ground, emitting blue smoke.

The two brothers walked cautiously and aimlessly on the ruins.

After Jin mutated and completed a stage of growth, his eyesight became much sharper.

After a long, long time,

The eight golden spider eyes gleamed. Under a charred tree stump, amidst the burnt-out ashes, a tiny bit of blue light flickered...

"Thirteen! Over there!"

Jin ran forward, pulled away the ashes, and found a grayish-white crystal bead about two centimeters in diameter.

According to the knowledgeable old spider, the 'fog beads' dropped by the fog spirit are of uniform size and come in many colors, corresponding to different abilities that can be aided in comprehension and strengthening.

Found one!
"Fourth brother is awesome!"

"Fourth brother, let me see!"

The two brothers were extremely surprised.

Jin held it in his claws, looked at it briefly, weighed it, and handed it to Thirteen.

Thirteen held it in front of his eyes and observed it for a while, then began to spin silk, wrap it around, and tie it on his back.

Keep looking!
The fog tide came from the north with the wind. There seemed to be many fog spirits that died on the north side of the mountain. The two brothers ran around like headless flies. Soon, Jin found another one.

After searching for a while, I found the third one.

After searching for a while, I found the fourth one.

This thing is not big in size but it is quite heavy. Jin and Shisan each carry two of them, which obviously slows down their movement.

Even more troubling was the fact that the normally clueless ordinary flame spiders suddenly seemed to have become intelligent, realizing that more fog spirits had died in the northern part of the mountain. Thousands of these ordinary flame spiders, in groups of two or three, rushed to the northern ruins, searching everywhere.

Jin and Shisan were busy for a while, but they didn't find the Mist Spider. Instead, they ran into several groups of Flame Spiders who were also looking for treasure.

Jin suggested: "Thirteen, it's getting late. Let's go back to the mountain and hide our things first, and then see what happens."

"it is good!"

Thirteen agreed and asked, "Fourth brother, where are you hiding?"

Jin said, "Of course it's the cave where we live."

Thirteen said, "As far as I know, all Flame Spider warriors develop spiritual power. This spiritual power has the ability to see through things and scan things. If they're hiding in their nest, the Silk Mountain Lord should be able to find them with just a scan of his spiritual power, right?"

"So what if they find out? Can they still steal ours?"

Jin said, "Don't underestimate the Lord of Sikui Mountain. The harvest from this fog tide will be extremely rich. He won't mind if we secretly collect a few."

"..."

Thirteen remained silent and did not dare to agree.

"Gone. Gone."

Jin led the way, returned to the mountain, and went straight to the living cave. He hid the things in the living nest, climbed onto the body of the red-maned monitor lizard, sucked hard to fill his stomach, and then went out of the nest to look again.

It's early morning.

Below, under the tree given by the Sikui God, the Lord of Sikui Mountain caught another big shark and was busy cutting it up.

The incident happened suddenly last night and the prepared food was not distributed in time, and was later snatched away by the spiders.

At this time, the flame spiders who had not eaten at night were queuing up to get food.

The Lord-level Flame Spider warriors who had come to help were nowhere to be found. A wave of fog covered the entire island, presumably having finished their work and returned to their own territories.

After a thorough inspection, we confirmed that the situation on and below the mountain was stable.

Thirteen hesitated a bit and said, "Fourth Brother, it's dawn..."

Jin called out, "The natural enemies that threaten us should have been killed by the fire. Hurry up, before Lord Sikui takes action, let's go down the mountain and look for them again!"
