Astral Gods

Chapter 66 reveals

After all the transactions were completed, Lord Zili rubbed his forelegs slightly embarrassedly: "Chief of the Hundred Tribes, I have several juniors who have just advanced to the advanced stage. Could I ask you for a top-tier tree seed to nurture as their life seed?"

The leader of the hundred tribes knew that once this kind of thing started, it would never end. He said somewhat reluctantly, "Lord Purple Plum, these tree species are very precious in our tribe. Ordinary insect warriors can't even see them."

Even if I wanted to get a few more tree seeds from the kingdom's treasury, it would take a long time to process the application; each one is incredibly precious.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know." Lord Zili also knew that if he kept asking, the other party would definitely be unhappy.

But they had already promised their tribes that they would build a hydroelectric power station and make a fortune, so what did one or two seeds matter?

It thought this and said this, pretending to complain: "Chief of the Hundred Tribes, we spent four or five million primal stones to build a hydroelectric power station, which is almost half a year's worth of the tribe's income."

"If we don't cultivate more high-yield tree species as our lifeblood, we'll have a hard time recouping our investment!"

Upon hearing Lord Zi Li's words, the leaders of the hundred tribes immediately relented.

In any case, the Rhinoceros Beetle tribe is a major client, and this major client is going to do a big deal with me. There's no need to make things unpleasant with them at this time over a few seeds.

Besides, as the other party said, building a hydroelectric power station would cost four to five million primal stones, which is equivalent to an entire tribe working for you for more than half a year, and the various primal food produced would also be for you. Thinking about it this way, there was nothing to be unhappy about.

The leader of the hundred tribes muttered, "The kingdom does not allow us to distribute the seeds in large quantities. This is the last time I will provide you with top-grade tree seeds in three years. Even if I do provide them in the future, I will only be able to provide one or two seeds per year."

"Purple Plum Lord, Green Fruit Lord, gather all the younger members of your tribes. I'll give them a tree seed for every insect I give them, shouldn't that be enough?"

The Flame Spider Kingdom controls the resources of top-tier tree species, which are usually bred into life-sustaining species by the original Flame Spiders within the kingdom or by the Zerg warriors of affiliated tribes. The Force food produced is then sold by the Flame Spider merchants, thus obtaining a very high premium.

If these insectoid warriors were to be casually given to other races to be bred into life-sustaining organisms, these tribes would primarily use them for their own internal consumption and would not easily trade them away.

This not only reduced the types of Force food they traded, but also indirectly reduced their own profits.

Lord Zili and the others didn't care what the leaders of the Hundred Tribes were thinking. Despite the Flame Spider Merchants' current tough stance, they believed that these guys would eventually need their help.

They immediately and happily beckoned the recently evolved rhinoceros beetle warriors over, allowing them to select seeds to be incorporated into their life sacs and nurtured into life seeds.

Because it's currently the Force food harvesting season, and they know the Hundred Caravans will be coming, there are quite a few little warriors with empty life sacs who want a top-tier tree species as their life seed.

At the call of the lords, a total of eleven young warriors arrived.

Seeing this, the leader of the hundred tribes was even more frustrated. These guys had really planned things too well. But since the words had already been spoken, it was too late to go back on them.

It took out a bag containing seeds from the bottom of the thick layer of spider silk on its carapace.

Looking at the Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors gathered here, it manipulated its spider silk to pick up a seed from its bag, examined it, and said: "A mutated variety of cedar, the Ice Pine Seed, its function is to enhance ice-type coldness."

Lord Greenfruit, to whom should this seed be given?

The Green Fruit Lord was a little confused. It had thought that the leaders of the Hundred Tribes had given it top-tier tree species that were suitable for strengthening them, such as those of the Soul or Strength types. However, it did not expect that the other party had just taken it from the bag by hand.

However, it quickly realized what was happening, waving its antennae and beckoning a small sea god herringbone warrior to come forward: "Little one, you will nurture this seed into a life-giving seed."

Most Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors possess a Strength-type talent along with an Elemental-type talent. After advancing to the Mountain Lord level, the Sea God Giant Beetle awakens both its Strength and Water-type talents, making it the best candidate to nurture this Ice Pine Nut.

The little sea monster warrior stepped forward, took the ice pine seed, and placed it into his life sac to nurture it.

The leader of the hundred tribes didn't say much, but instead took out another seed from his spider silk pouch and examined it: "A mutated willow tree, a silver willow seed. Its effect is to enhance metal manipulation. Who should I give it to?"

Lord Purple Plum twitched its antennae and patted a rhinoceros beetle warrior that had just been promoted to a high-level warrior, instructing it to step forward and take the silver willow tree seed into its life sac for nurturing.

The leader of the hundred tribes rummaged through his spider silk pouch and pulled out a seed: "Chestnut seed, its effect is to enhance strength-type abilities, anyone want it?"

Upon hearing about this enhancement effect, both Lord Purple Plum and Lord Green Fruit were moved and exchanged a glance.

They had eaten this kind of Force food before. Like the Red Cypress, it was a Force food that enhanced strength, but the enhancement direction was different. The two could be combined.

It would be wonderful to obtain a seed and have it nurtured by a yew tree.

However, since the yew is currently nurturing the divinely bestowed seeds of red cherry blossoms and there is no immediate need for them, the other warriors in the tribe will have to nurture them for the time being.

They took turns directing the little soldiers to go up and collect the seeds to put into their life bags.

The leaders of the Hundred Tribes all brought out high-quality tree species. The only problem was that the seeds were randomly selected from the spider silk bag and could not be taken according to the wishes of Lord Purple Plum and the others.

They waited for a long time, but the leader of the Hundred Tribes did not produce a Green Soul Kiwi Seed. Only when only Purple Locust remained did Lord Purple Plum speak again: "Leader of the Hundred Tribes, could you please give this little warrior a Green Soul Kiwi Seed to nurture into a life-sustaining seed?"

The leader of the hundred tribes looked at Lord Zili with some curiosity, then at the little rhinoceros beetle warrior, wondering why it would emphasize this little warrior.

"Lord Zili, I heard from Ze Hui that one of your tribe's young warriors conceived three divinely bestowed seeds, one of which was a divinely bestowed seed from a male mulberry tree. Could it be that seed?"

"That's a yew tree, and this little soldier is its older brother, the yew tree. There are three brothers in total, born from the same litter. There's also a brother named the wormwood tree. These three brothers are a bit special, and we're going to do our best to raise them."

"Special?" Lord Zi Li's words piqued the curiosity of the hundred tribe leaders. "Three little warriors awakening in one brood is indeed a very rare occurrence. I wonder what makes them so special?"

"The Force of the three little warriors can be linked and shared, and after the Divine Seed of the Yew awakens its soul consciousness, it can also communicate with the other two."

As the three brothers grew older, some things could be revealed little by little. After all, the fact that the yew tree could nurture the divinely ordained seed could not be kept secret.

Rather than being exposed for nothing in the future, it's better to try to get more benefits from the Flame Spider Merchants; they have so many good things to offer.
