Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 701 - 590: Invitation from Red Crow Mountain (Additional Release)_2

White Ivy: "Lupine and Grass Dragon aren't little spiders anymore, they can handle things independently now."

Spider King Pickerelweed: "Then after you evolve into Evolution Spider King, what are your plans?"

White Ivy: "No plans for now, I'll just blend in with the other Spider King Caravans for a while."

Spider King Pickerelweed was slightly annoyed, "I'm seriously asking you a question."

White Ivy: "Spider King Pickerelweed, I'm seriously answering too. At the very least, I have to condense one or two Divine Marks before I'd dare travel alone."

"Mm—"

"That makes sense!"

Spider King Pickerelweed pondered for a moment, glanced sideways at Ghost King Woonyoung next to him, and asked: "White Ivy, you don't seem to know much about the Ghost King Grasshopper tribe?"

White Ivy: "Not at all."

Spider King Pickerelweed: "It's normal not to know. Ghost King Woonyoung comes from the United Kingdom of Red Crow Mountain..."

Red Crow Mountain?

White Ivy was puzzled for a moment, then tried asking: "That Red Crow Mountain deep in the northwest desert? I've heard of it! I heard there's a huge kingdom made up of many tribes hidden there? But the road over there is too difficult."

Spider King Pickerelweed: "Yes—"

Spider King Pickerelweed: "White Ivy, it seems you're not very clear. Red Crow Mountain is the largest mountain on the Ten-thousand Tribes Continent, and the United Kingdom of Red Crow Mountain is without a doubt the largest nation."

"???"

White Ivy questioned, doubting: The largest nation? Says who?

Spider King Pickerelweed: "The United Kingdom of Red Crow Mountain is led by the Ghost King Grasshoppers, joined by the Red Cockroach, Narrow Butterfly, and Crimson Dragonfly clans, as well as co-existing with the Bee Clan and Ant Clan. Their insect population exceeds a hundred thousand, their plantings flourish, and resources are abundant. They're fully self-sufficient internally. The kingdom practices a totally closed management style. Its remote location and the desert barrier mean that very few insects even know of Red Crow Mountain, and even fewer truly know about it."

Spider King Pickerelweed: "Historically, in our Flame Spider Kingdom's five great divisions, only one caravan from each can enter Red Crow Mountain for trade. Because the journey is so distant and tough, they generally don't deal in ordinary Origin Force Food, but mainly in Divine-Given Origin Force Food and Divine-Grade Fruit."

Spider King Pickerelweed: "The main thing is the mutual exchange of Divine-Grade Fruit."

— There's such a great place?

White Ivy's eyes lit up at the mention of Divine-Grade Fruit, but doubt still lingered in her heart: How could there be a place like this?

White Ivy looked at Ghost King Woonyoung, the red and green gleam in her eight eyes flickered for an instant, making her feel a little at ease.

Ghost King Woonyoung's soul was much cleaner than those old spiders like Pickerelweed, Aconite, and Spurge, with very little ill intent.

Given how far the conversation had gone, even the somewhat slow-to-catch-on White Ivy finally realized the purpose of their visit.

White Ivy said enthusiastically: "Ghost King Woonyoung, what a coincidence! My specialty is trading Divine-Grade Fruit, and right now, to compete for leadership, I'm also dealing a little in Divine-Given Origin Force Food."

White Ivy: "My rules are simple and clear—Divine Grade for Divine Grade. No direct sales. Fixed 20% profit, not more or less, and the difference is made up with shares of Divine-Given Origin Force Food."

White Ivy: "Our caravan keeps everything strictly confidential. Whatever Divine-Grade you need, just state your general demand. If I have it, I'll tell you its detailed effects and the next batch's production time. Likewise, for any Divine-Grade Fruit you trade to me, just state its specific function and when you'll have stock ready to exchange with me."

Similar sales talk, White Ivy had recited quite a few times already; her tone was neither rushed nor slow, she finished it in one breath, and at the end, Origin Force of earth, wood, metal, fire, wind, and thunder gently flashed from her body.

No need for further explanation.

Having six Elemental Talents is the best proof of strength.

Ghost King Woonyoung asked: "White Ivy Spider King, that sight ability you used to look at me earlier—was that also granted by a Divine-Grade Fruit?"

White Ivy: "It's a combination ability. It's made up of three powers: the first, 'Crimson Eyes,' mutated from Diaphus Flame Spider's Talent Ability 'Green Eye True Sight'; second, 'Wise Wood Eye,' which I understood while Awakening my Wood Element Talent; and third, a Soul system scouting-type ability granted by a Divine-Grade Fruit."

White Ivy: "Combined, it's an ability that can see through all obstacles, illusions, and disguises, gaze directly into souls, and distinguish good from evil, truth from lies."

Spider King Pickerelweed praised: "What a power! Inconceivable!"

Ghost King Woonyoung was silent. After pondering for several seconds, he sighed and said: "Though our Red Crow Mountain huddles in the western desert, we'd already heard of 'Lord White Ivy' and the fame of 'Origin Force Honey.' I never believed it, couldn't understand how a Lord-Level Flame Spider could push roving merchant trade to such heights. Even now, seeing it in person, it's still hard to believe!"

Ghost King Woonyoung: "The facts are right here—Old Grasshopper, my eyes have truly been opened today!"

Spider King Pickerelweed seized the moment to say: "White Ivy, the scale of your trade matches your renown. Ghost King Woonyoung visited you mainly to verify the rumors circulating on the continent, and to invite you to Red Crow Mountain for trade."

Spider King Pickerelweed: "I can let you in on a secret: The Divine God-Given Seed count at Red Crow Mountain has entered double digits, with eight kinds of Divine-Grade being regularly circulated to outsiders, some of which you've eaten, kept strictly confidential, never publicized where they came from—you just didn't know."

"Double-digit Divine God-Given Seeds?"

White Ivy's eight eyes lit up explosively, shock written all over her face, but at the same time she was convinced—Spider King Pickerelweed would never lie to her.

White Ivy: "I've eaten their Divine-Grade? Can you be more specific?"

Spider King Pickerelweed countered: "White Ivy, you managed to trade for a Divine-Grade Fruit that granted a Fire Talent—do you know where it comes from?"

White Ivy understood, and asked again: "Could it be Red Crow Mountain?"

Spider King Pickerelweed: "Exactly!"

Ghost King Woonyoung: "The Divine God-Given Seed that grants Fire Talent is owned by the Red Cockroach Tribe and is generally never traded to outsiders. They have private dealings with Yuezuo Mountain, and it's said they've traded for quite a few good things these decades. It was originally from Crimson Moss Beetle King of Moon Peach Peak at Yuezuo Mountain that the Red Cockroach Tribe heard of the name 'Lord White Ivy.'"
