Natural God's Gift

Si Ye naturally had no idea that its casual mental thought could cause a reaction in the sea beasts. It securely hid in its nest and had a good sleep.

The next day, Bai Zhi arrived at the entrance of Si Ye's nest early in the morning, tapping the ground with its spider legs to urge Si Ye to get up.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Si Ye was startled awake, thinking something had happened. It hurriedly crawled out of the nest, turning its body to look around, checking if there was any danger. Only after discovering that everything around was safe did it breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bai Zhi, why did you call me up so early?" The sun had only shown half of its face on the mountain, and the sky wasn't fully bright yet. Bai Zhi had already come to the entrance of Si Ye's nest with its shell on its back to call it.

Bai Zhi looked at Si Ye with disdain: "Mountain Lord Huzhang always says I'm lazy, but I think Si Ye is the real lazybones. The sun is already up the mountain and you're still not awake."

Si Ye: "…"

Hey, although I haven't been here long, weren't you the one who was always dragged up by Mountain Lord Huzhang every day? I've been here for six days and you've been dragged up for five of them. And there was one day when you were allowed to sleep in because it was a holiday, right?

Si Ye used its small palps to rub its face and eyes, as if washing its face: "Bai Zhi, get to the point."

Hearing Si Ye say this, Bai Zhi didn't dwell on the fact that it woke up earlier than Si Ye. It said with some excitement: "Si Ye, I thought about it last night. Since Mountain Lord Huzhang won't help us open the conch shell, we can go find good friends from the Duolai Flame Spider Tribe or the Zicai Flame Spider Tribe to help."

Looking at Bai Zhi's somewhat red eyes, Si Ye was even more speechless: "You didn't stay up all night thinking about this, did you?"

"Yes," Bai Zhi said hopefully, "If the conch shell could amplify our voices tenfold, that would be great. The little warriors' mental strength is too weak, and it can't extend too far. Transmitting information with spider legs can only be sensed when you're right in front of someone. If it could be amplified tenfold, then talking would be much easier."

Si Ye looked at Bai Zhi with some surprise: "Did you think of this?"

It didn't expect that Bai Zhi, who usually didn't think much before acting, would actually have this kind of insight. It seemed that Bai Zhi was quite capable of using its brain.

"Yes," Bai Zhi then said fiercely, "If the conch shell could really amplify the sound tenfold, then I would take the conch shell and argue with Shi Wei, Huichun, Zexie, Ku Mai, Ni Hu… I'll see if they still look down on me because I'm a little warrior."

"Uh…" Si Ye was directly choked. It didn't expect that its purpose for using the conch shell to amplify the sound tenfold was just to argue. It retracted its previous positive evaluation of Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi hadn't changed, it was still that idiot.

Moreover, do you have too many enemies?

"Have you had breakfast?"

Bai Zhi honestly replied: "No."

"Then why are you up so early?" This silly spider, hopeless.

Bai Zhi rubbed its two chelicerae together: "Wasn't I thinking of making a conch shell that can be blown as soon as possible?"

"Let's find something to eat first." After sleeping, Si Ye was very hungry.

"I'll take you to Xuan Yu's strawberry garden to pick strawberries to eat."

"Is that okay?" Strawberry garden, it sounded like an orchard specially cultivated by other insects.

Bai Zhi tempted: "Xuan Yu planted ten square kilometers of strawberries. Anyway, we can't eat them all. Most of them are fed to the little flame spiders. Aren't we little flame spiders?

Si Ye, have you ever eaten strawberries? Strawberries are super delicious, sweet and sour, and they burst with juice when you bite into them. After eating strawberries, the whole spider smells good."

Seeing that Si Ye was still a little hesitant, Bai Zhi patted its abdomen with its spider legs and said: "Don't worry, I'm very familiar with Xuan Yu. I've been wandering around its strawberry garden since I was in the first instar. Its strawberry garden is like my own home."

"Is it far from here?" Si Ye felt its mouth watering as it listened to Bai Zhi's description.

"Not far,"

Si Ye glanced at the shell on Bai Zhi's back: "Then let's go and come back quickly?"

"Okay," Bai Zhi put the shell at the entrance of Si Ye's nest, then extended a spider leg to signal Si Ye: "Si Ye, come up, I'll carry you?"

Si Ye: "…"

A level one early stage warrior, a level two early stage warrior, how much difference can there be in size between the two? Can you still walk after climbing up?

Si Ye ignored Bai Zhi, waving its palps to urge: "Let's go, let's go, which direction?"

"Follow me," Seeing that Si Ye was unwilling to come up, Bai Zhi's wish to be an elder failed. It had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw its spider leg and set off in a direction.

The territory of the original flame spider tribe is very large. The place where they usually learn knowledge is only a small part of it. In other parts of the territory, there are cultivated woodlands, which are planted with all kinds of fruit trees, bananas, loquats, mangoes, durians, all kinds of them. However, because of the winter, most of the fruits on the fruit trees have been picked. These picked fruits will basically be used to feed the little flame spiders, and the seeds with good quality will be kept by them and sown as seeds next year.

The two spiders quickly crawled in the woodland full of dead leaves. Si Ye felt a serious suspicion about Bai Zhi's intelligence. It actually led Si Ye astray. Heavens, how could a flame spider warrior get lost?

You must know that the most important thing for flame spiders is their sense of direction. If they don't even have a sense of direction, how can they travel and trade? How could such a stupid spider evolve into a Force Warrior?

Bai Zhi's reason was that there were too many fruit trees planted here, and the sizes of the fruit trees were similar, so it was normal to get lost. In the end, Si Ye distinguished the path and led it out of that area. Because of this, Bai Zhi begged Si Ye not to tell anyone that it got lost, otherwise it would not be able to raise its head in front of Zexie. Only when Si Ye promised not to tell did Bai Zhi feel relieved.

"Bai Zhi, how much longer until we get there?" Si Ye had been following Bai Zhi for half an hour, but still hadn't found the strawberry garden. It suspected that Bai Zhi was lost again?

"Almost there, it's just ahead." Bai Zhi led Si Ye and crawled hard for another four or five minutes, arriving at a semi-open orchard.

"We're here," Bai Zhi led Si Ye to climb onto an earthen slope, overlooking the entire orchard. The entire orchard was planted with various kinds of strawberries, countless red, white, dark red, pink, ripe, unripe strawberries, like beautiful colored gems, looming under the tender green stems and leaves, thriving.

Bai Zhi climbed down the earthen slope and headed towards the strawberry garden: "This strawberry garden is the territory managed by the advanced original flame spider warrior Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu has a Xuan Yu strawberry God-given seed. Over the years, it has been vigorously planting strawberries, hoping to obtain another strawberry God-given seed."

Si Ye followed behind Bai Zhi, carefully looking at the garden. In addition to the various colors of strawberries, there were very few weeds in the strawberry garden. It could be seen that the flame spider warrior who managed the strawberry garden was very careful.

As soon as Bai Zhi came in, it set its sights on a big red strawberry that was still hanging on the stem. It picked it up and gnawed on it: "What do you want to eat? Pick it yourself."

"Don't we need to say hello to Warrior Xuan Yu?"

"It's okay, didn't I say that I'm very familiar with Xuan Yu? According to seniority, I'm still its junior. Just eat as much as you want."

Bai Zhi also thoughtfully guided Si Ye on which strawberries were delicious: "Let me tell you, I like milk strawberries the most, they have a milky flavor and are very sweet."

Si Ye felt strange, but didn't think much about it. It also hugged a big strawberry and began to gnaw on it. The juicy strawberries were really suitable for the taste of flame spider warriors. They tasted very sweet. It heard other insects say that honey was very sweet. It hadn't eaten it, but it felt that it was probably like strawberries, right?

The two little flame spider warriors buried their heads and ate hard, unaware that a huge flame spider warrior had quietly come behind them.

Si Ye was burying its head in the strawberries, eating attentively, when it suddenly found that its hind legs seemed to be hung up by spider silk. It blankly let go of the half-eaten strawberry, and the whole spider was hung upside down in mid-air.

A big spider came close to it and looked at it. Bai Zhi was also hanging on the other spider leg of the big spider.

Seeing the big spider, Si Ye wiped its mouth with its small palps and greeted politely: "Are you Warrior Xuan Yu? Hello, I'm Si Ye, please take care of me."

The big spider looked at Si Ye: "You are the little warrior who returned to the kingdom some time ago? Only level one early stage?"

Si Ye explained: "Yes, because I only advanced to a Force Warrior this autumn, so the degree of evolution is a bit low."

The big spider looked at Bai Zhi on the other side, hanging in mid-air and still holding half a strawberry, eating wildly: "Bai Zhi, you're here to steal my strawberries again? Looks like I'm going to hang you up and beat you."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi quickly finished eating the strawberry in its claws and said plausibly: "Xuan Yu, I brought Si Ye here to get acquainted with the place. We little warriors were passing by here and were hungry. Isn't it too much to eat one of your strawberries?"

The big spider gave a cold look: "Not too much, but my claws are so itchy, and I really want to beat a spider. What should I do?"

"Then you beat Si Ye. If you beat Si Ye, you can't beat me."

Xuan Yu: "…"

Si Ye: "…"

Si Ye was so embarrassed that its claws could dig out a nest. Bai Zhi, this unreliable guy, didn't you say that Xuan Yu was its elder and this was their own orchard? Why does it seem like we came here to steal strawberries from other insects? It's really embarrassing.

The big spider underestimated the thickness of Bai Zhi's carapace. It put down the two little spiders: "I won't beat you today for Si Ye's sake, but if you dare to eat one strawberry and throw one away again, I'll really hang you up and beat you."

"Okay, okay, I used to eat one and throw one away, but that's because the strawberries weren't ripe. Now that I'm grown up, I can choose strawberries, I only eat the sweetest ones." Bai Zhi shamelessly picked another strawberry and ate it.

The claws of the Xuan Yu big spider began to stir again. It was quite good at picking, and it really wanted to hang it up and beat it.

Too lazy to pay attention to this thick-shelled spider, Xuan Yu saw Si Ye standing there a little restrained, and personally picked a big strawberry and handed it to it: "Eat the strawberries here as you please, just don't waste them like Bai Zhi."

"Okay, thank you Xuan Yu." Seeing Xuan Yu taking the initiative to hand it a strawberry, Si Ye felt a little relieved, otherwise it would have been too embarrassed to drill into the ground. It didn't have as thick a carapace as Bai Zhi.
