White Ivy lay back down again, muttering, "Let think so more…"
Red Peach reminded her, "White Ivy Spider King, first calm down and figure out how many abilities you've comprehended after ascending to Spider King."
"Right—"
White Ivy finally quieted down. After a very long while, she stood up and sighed, "My luck's a bit off. I only comprehended eight abilities in total, and two of them are related to my eyes…"
As she spoke, White Ivy couldn't help but brighten up, saying, "But there's one that's a pure visual ability! Look at this!"
With that, the eight eyeballs shifted color into a deep, profound black. Amidst the darkness, specks of silvery-white rotated, captivating even the hearts of insects.
White Ivy cried out in amazent, "This ability is so magical! The world in my eyes has turned completely black and white. Weird! So weird! This ability is really strange! I can separate targets in my vision into layers, control them with my will, peel away one by one, and see the structures inside…"
"…"
All the insects were left breathless.
You really focused all your abilities on your eyes…
lde couldn't take it anymore, his feelings strong, and he pressed again, "White Ivy, what about abilities unrelated to your eyes? Show one to everyone! Also, don't you think you really need a couple of powerful combat abilities? As a Roving rchant traversing the continent, you must have at least so way to escape…"
White Ivy: "lde, stop! lde, be quiet! Let think so more."
White Ivy fell silent again. After pondering for a while, she suddenly jumped up again.
"Ha! I have an ability just for running away!"
With that, her two front legs dropped down. Dual-system Primordial Energy of wind and thunder flooded into her eight legs. She hadn't even moved, yet the air around her began howling and swirling.
With a deep muffled boom, a flash of earth-yellow light and shadow, she teleported instantly onto the mountain path.
Another loud boom— a trail of earth-yellow afterimages— White Ivy returned to the flat plateau halfway up the mountain.
"!!!"
The other spiders' legs went stiff.
This escape ability is seriously good!
This is the true practical ability for the Fla Spider Roving rchant!
"Though the fanfare is a bit much…"
White Ivy muttered, then lightly said, "No big deal, I'll just eat a Zhifeng Fruit. Silvergrass, go and inform Wormwood Spider King for ."
"On it!"
Silvergrass agreed with a ring in her voice.
lde pursued the question, "White Ivy, what about combat abilities? Do you have any? How many?"
White Ivy: "Let think…"
White Ivy's mind was a little sluggish; it took a fair bit of effort for her to finally sort out all the abilities she comprehended at Evolution King Level.
She awakened six-elental talents— only 8 abilities in total. The number was indeed a bit low, but the quality was superb, all of them multi-elental combination abilities, each either able to condense a Divine Mark directly or easily combine to condense one.
lde felt much more at ease after reviewing them.
If she'd awakened a lot of abilities but all of them were basic and simple, requiring her to think and combine them herself, for White Ivy it would no doubt have been a fatal disaster.
lde had advanced to Spider King a bit earlier and understood condensing Divine Marks at the Spider King stage deeply. Patiently, he explained this to White Ivy and gave suggestions for planning…
Red Peach, Lupine, Grass Dragon, Silvergrass, and Column Spotted all gathered around in a circle, listening attentively.
"Spider King Spurge!"
Red Peach suddenly leapt up, turned around, and greeted enthusiastically.
Spider King Spurge had arrived on the winding mountain path at so unknown ti and was slowly climbing up the mountain.
"Spider King Spurge, White Ivy has successfully ascended to Spider King."
"Spider King Spurge…"
All the spiders greeted him.
Spider King Spurge stopped, thought for a mont, and said, "Red Peach, Lupine, Grass Dragon, have you finished collecting all the goods to trade for Origin Force Honey for next year? The Tribe's winter gathering is almost over— hurry up and go take care of the caravan business."
Spider King Spurge: "White Ivy, you co with — soone's looking for you."
White Ivy: "Soone's looking for ? Who?"
Spider King Spurge: "You don't know? Then I certainly don't, either."
White Ivy: "And the insect? Where is it?"
Spider King Spurge: "Deep in the Abyss. Spider King Pickerelweed asked to co tell you to go over."
—Spider King Pickerelweed?
—The Abyss? That's the forbidden ground where the Fla Spider Kingdom hoards its Source Stone fortunes.
—What insect is qualified to be a guest in the Fla Spider Kingdom's Abyss?
lde hurried down the mountain, saying, "I'd better get back and handle the caravan business."
White Ivy found it odd, thought for a mont, then turned and instructed, "Everyone move fast— organize the caravan wealth and split out two-thirds. Now that I'm also a Spider King, Column Spotted, co with to open a Spider King account while we're at it."
White Ivy: "Leave a third behind. Red Peach, Lupine, Grass Dragon, Silvergrass, you four keep it and use it for trading across the Ten Thousand Nations Continent."
The spiders all agreed and got moving, untying carapace spider silk ropes, removing the large bags filled with Spider King Silk Scrolls.
They gathered them all together and counted them up.
These days, the White Ivy Trade Caravan's business was booming, profits were high, but expenses too had soared. Nearly all caravan mbers evolved by eating Divine-Given Origin Force Food, and they'd begun using Divine-Grade Fruit to bestow elental talents as well.
After all these years, the caravan hadn't truly accumulated much wealth. After a thorough counting and calculation, only 75 million remained.
Quickly, the distribution was sorted out.
Red Peach, Lupine, Grass Dragon, and Silvergrass returned to the Fla Spider Tribe settlent to organize the Origin Force Food purchase work.
White Ivy and Column Spotted followed Spider King Spurge, heading toward the tribe's Ancestral Land— the abyss.
