Astral Gods

Chapter 29 New Friends with Unified Views

The yews, of course, were unaware of the discussions between the Green Bamboo King and the leaders of the Hundred Tribes. After escaping from the side of the Lord of Zehui Mountain, they played near the classroom, waiting for their elders to come and take them back.

To their surprise, the people who came to pick them up at Daqing Peak this time were not their direct elders, but the highest-ranking lord-level and mountain lord-level warriors from each peak and lineage.

However, having been touched by the aura of intelligence, they quickly came to their senses and realized that the Flame Spider Merchants had come to trade various Force-based foods.

Each of their peaks and veins would hand over a portion of their produce to Daqing Peak during the harvest of their life-sustaining seeds, in exchange for a considerable number of Spider King Scrolls to purchase Force Food at the Trading Plaza.

Now the main peak wants to trade for the various divinely bestowed primal force foods they need for evolution, and they need to use the Spider King's Scroll to exchange for the primal force foods they need in return.

Of course, there's nothing that can be done if their Spider King Scrolls are used up during the trade fair.

Lord Zili picked up several of his warriors and led them to the trading square.

At this moment, the tribal warriors were still haggling with the Flame Spider merchants. The prices of many Force foods were not fixed, or rather, the prices of God-given Force foods were not fixed.

The price of ordinary Force food is basically fixed. For example, if a fruit produced by an ordinary life seed contains only 0.1 units of Force and Force energy, then its value is 0.2 units of Force. When sold, it may be able to fetch a premium of 10% to 20%, depending on the buyer's demand. The total price will not be much higher.

However, the primal energy in God-given foods is of high quality and expensive, with even a slight price increase resulting in a difference of several primal stones.

For example, the Lord-level Divine Blessed Plum produced by the Purple Plum Lord's Purple Plum Divine Blessed Seed has the effect of enhancing the antennae's perception, and the Flame Spider Merchant buys it for 120 Origin Stones each.

The Flame Spider Merchant's Claws also carry several kinds of God-given Force Foods that are similar in size, quality, and function to God-given Plums. However, when they are sold to the Twin-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoise Tribe, they fetch between 135 and 150 Originium per piece.

The Purple Plum God-given Seeds only produce one batch every three years, with 8000 seeds per batch, which only sells for 96 raw stones. However, if you purchase similar-sized and high-quality goods from the Flame Spider Wanderer's Claws, you can only purchase about 7000 seeds. They can make a profit of 12 raw stones from a single transaction.

Of course, the tribes would not allow themselves to be exploited. They would only offer a little of the divinely bestowed food they needed, which they did not have in their own tribes, in exchange for it.

Otherwise, if they really used all the divinely bestowed food from their tribe to trade with them, the Flame Spider Merchant could earn more than a million Origin Stones in a single trip to a tribe.

They're not stupid; if they really have a large quantity of goods, they'll form their own teams and trade with other tribes.

In fact, that's exactly what they did. The various tribes on the island often traded with each other, each making a profit from the other's price, and they basically evened things out.

However, none of this matters to the little warriors. Their life forms do not produce energy food, and their evolutionary resources are all provided by their elders. Before becoming advanced warriors, they only need to play happily.

Lord Ziyi and the others were allowed to play in a corner of the trading square. After the trading was completed, Lord Ziyi would take the little warriors back.

Lord Zili himself joined the bargaining in the trade of the divinely bestowed food.

At this moment, the Lord of Zehui Mountain did not participate in the transaction. Instead, he brought over the young warriors from their caravan and introduced them to Zishan and the others: "Zishan, Zihuai, Ziai, Zizhang, Ziyu, these are my juniors, Luoshi and Gelsemium. They are about the same age as you. You can get to know them and play together."

The Zerg world also has its own social dynamics, especially among the Flame Spider merchant caravans, which often compete with each other. When some tribes grow strong enough that one caravan can't handle their goods, or when they want some competition among the caravans, they will bring in a second or third caravan.

It allows the younger members of the caravan to play together with the young warriors of these tribes from a young age. These young warriors will grow up one day and gradually become the pillars of the tribe in the future. Having some friendship now will make it easier to discuss business in the future.

Two small, yellowish-brown flame spiders, each about 40 centimeters long, stood beside the Lord of Zehui Mountain and greeted everyone: "Hello, little rhinoceros beetle warriors, I am Luoshi."

"I am a hooked kiss."

Perhaps because they had traveled to many places, the two little warriors were very talkative, and they were not intimidated at all even when facing many rhinoceros beetle warriors.

"Purple camphor tree".

"Purple Jade".

"Purple Locust Tree".

"Purple Artemisia".

"Yew." Several rhinoceros beetle warriors announced their names one by one.

The spider silkworms, *Trachelospermum jasminoides* and *Gelsemium elegans*, drew silk from their abdomens and began weaving silk bags. They quickly finished several small silk bags and handed them to the young soldiers: "A small gift for our first meeting. Please take care of us in the future."

"Thank you." The rhinoceros beetle warriors were careless and didn't know what politeness meant, so they simply stretched out their claws to accept the money.

However, the teachings of the Lord of Zehui Mountain over the past six months have been somewhat effective; at least they politely said thank you.

Several young soldiers looked at the bulging silk sacs on the little flame spider's back and pointed curiously, asking, "What are those things on your backs?"

The Flame Spider Warrior raised its chelicerae: "This is the Force food we earned at the Trading Square."

"You guys are amazing!" With the small gift as a bridge, the two sides quickly started chatting happily.

First, the Flame Spider Warrior told the Rhinoceros Beetle Warriors about the various insectoid warriors they had encountered and the exciting stories they had heard while traveling the continent with the caravan. This earned the Rhinoceros Beetle Warriors many heartfelt exclamations and envy.

Next, the rhinoceros beetle warriors began to recount their carefree daily lives filled with fighting, and then they talked about the miserable lives they led after the Lord of Zehui Mountain came.

Finally, the two groups of young warriors huddled together, whispering ill of the Lord of Zehui Mountain, and before the transaction in the square ended, they successfully confirmed and agreed on a unified view: "The Lord of Zehui Mountain is a big bad guy."

This left the Zehui Mountain Lord, who had been completely ignored, speechless. He secretly resolved that after returning to his tribe, he would find more ways for extraterrestrial civilizations to teach their students, so that when spring came next year, they could feel the authority and love of a strict teacher.

"What are you babbling about? Time to go home." Lord Purple Plum flew over after completing the transaction, ready to take the little warriors back to his territory.

The little warriors flew onto Lord Purple Plum's chest armor and bid farewell to the Flame Spider warriors: "Goodbye, Spiderwort; goodbye, Gelsemium."

In just half a day, the young soldiers established a deep friendship with two newly acquainted Flame Spider soldiers who shared the same views and opinions.
