Chapter 105 Zishan's Plan to Switch Places with Zi Ai

Seeing that everyone was practically exhausted, the Dragon Horn Lord signaled to stop, saying unhappily, "Gather together!"

Upon hearing the order given by the Dragonhorn Lord, a large group of Zerg warriors crawled half-dead toward the direction of the Dragonhorn Lord.

Seeing the insects' attitude, the Dragon Horn Lord became even angrier and couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up!"

All the insects were exhausted and lay on the ground, listening to the Dragon Horn Lord's lecture: "You're exhausted after only 6 laps. Some insects didn't even run 6 laps. You are all really useless!"

I've trained so many high-ranking warriors, and you're the worst batch ever!

I can tell from your physical condition that you definitely lack training. Don't think that just because you have the potential for strength-based talent, you can ignore strength training. You should know that not all strength is the same.

There is a world of difference between a trained Zerg warrior with awakened power-type talents and an untrained Zerg warrior with awakened power-type talents.

The Dragonhorn Lord spoke eloquently on top, while the Zerg warriors below secretly rolled their eyes and silently mobilized their Primal Power to recover their stamina.

They evolve by consuming Force food. Most of the Force energy in the Force food can be absorbed and utilized by the body. However, without proper training, this absorbed Force energy will accumulate in the body, forming a burdensome Force fat.

The Dragonhorn Lord makes them run, and in their daily walking, flying, and fighting, they can absorb and digest the excess primal energy and turn it into their own body's power.

The reason is simple: it's like the difference between lying still after eating and engaging in high-intensity exercise after eating.

The growth of a bug that lies still all day and a bug that exercises and trains every day, even if they eat the exact same Force food, will be different.

Moreover, unlike ordinary insects and animals that only need to eat one or two kinds of food, the insectoid warriors who have been promoted to Force life need to eat different Force foods to be effectively strengthened. Otherwise, if they only eat ordinary food, they will only have the most basic normal growth effect.

After the Dragonhorn Lord finished speaking, everyone's strength had recovered to some extent. If there were Force food available now, a full recovery of their strength would not be a problem.

However, they didn't bring any Force food or even ordinary food with them, so they couldn't possibly fully recover their strength.

"Everyone has regained some strength, right? Let's keep running until it gets dark."

The Zerg warriors lying on the ground thought the matter was over and they could rest, but they were stunned when they heard what the Dragonhorn Lord said, and then they reluctantly started running again.

However, to their dismay, this was just the beginning. In the days that followed, they had to engage in running training, flying training, agility dodging training, chopping wood stakes, and combat activities every day, only resting when they were completely exhausted.

However, this is not without its benefits for them. The most obvious benefit is that many Zerg warriors have realized the areas where they lack enhancement.

For example, although the Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors have high defense, their bodies are too heavy and cumbersome. They need to reduce their body weight without weakening their defense, making their bodies lighter and reducing the burden on their bodies.

Furthermore, flight speed and agility must be increased to avoid becoming easy targets in battle. In addition, endurance also needs to be greatly increased, otherwise, they will be at a significant disadvantage in combat.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. After such a long period of training, the newly arrived Zerg warriors had gotten used to life here.

Furthermore, through training, their physical condition was strengthened and improved to a certain extent. This improvement was not obtained solely through training, but rather through training, which allowed them to squeeze out the original energy stored in their bodies after consuming energy-based foods.

Even they themselves did not expect that their bodies could unleash such great potential.

However, if you want to further strengthen your body, you'll need to consume Force foods to assist you; otherwise, your body simply won't be able to handle this high-intensity training.

They generally have two options: either have the tribe send different types of Force food at intervals according to their own needs.

Alternatively, the tribe could send the Spider King's Scroll directly over, while they themselves purchase different Force foods here to enhance their abilities.

As the strongest and most intensive coastal defense training camp in the Thousand Star Islands, Lotus Island naturally has places where you can buy Force-based food.

The Flame Spider Merchants collaborated with the major tribes on the Thousand Star Islands to build a treasure trove of Force food, which is open year-round. As long as you have enough Originium, you can buy most Force food.

The training camp does not provide Force food, but the animals will bring their own Force food and Spider King Scrolls to ensure they can undergo proper evolution.

However, for the past half month, they have been tormented by the Dragon Horn Lord's devilish training to the point of exhaustion, and they simply do not have the energy to exchange for Force food.

After half a month of training, the Dragon Horn Lord finally gave them a day off, allowing them time to exchange for Force Food.

The Zerg warriors were naturally thrilled to receive this news. Those who brought Force food could eat it themselves, so as not to let the Flame Spider merchants and the large tribes on the Thousand Star Islands make a fortune from it.

Those who didn't bring Force food, such as the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe, couldn't easily carry Force food across the sea because they were too far from the Thousand Star Islands. They could only bring the Spider King's Scroll to buy it from the Flame Spider Merchant.

On this day of holiday, the Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors gathered together, preparing to go to the Treasure Vault Mountain on Lotus Island, where they stored Force Food, to exchange for Force Food.

Each of the rhinoceros beetle warriors had a metal cylinder tied to its midleg, containing the Spider King's scroll they had brought with them.

Some of these Spider King Scrolls are primal food produced by their lifeblood; the excess is exchanged with tribes for.

Some of them were Zerg warriors who had just advanced to the advanced stage and had not yet produced life seeds. Because they were coming to the Thousand Star Islands for training, the tribe gave them Spider King Scrolls worth 3000 Primogems to ensure they had food.

Some are insects with elders in the tribe, and the elders will provide some support to prevent the younger generation from going hungry.

Everyone gathered together, and Ziyu warmly greeted Ziai and Zishan: "Ziai, Zishan, let's go exchange for Force Food!"

Just as Zi Ai was about to agree, Zi Shan pressed down on her front legs and said to them, "You guys go first, Zi Ai and I have something to talk about."

"Alright then." Hearing that the two brothers had something to say, the many Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors had no choice but to leave first to exchange for Force Food.

Zi Ai was puzzled by this. The brothers had been inseparable for so many years, and she didn't know what Zi Shan suddenly wanted to say.

"Yew?"

Zishan organized her thoughts for a moment, then said, "Zi'ai, our tribe is facing a rather dire situation in the Thousand Star Islands. Many Zerg warriors in the Thousand Star Islands are hostile to us."

Zi Ai tapped her antennae and said with equal seriousness, "I can sense that too."

Not to mention anything else, in the past two weeks alone, countless Zerg warriors have wanted to challenge Zishan. Many Zerg warriors have applied to challenge Zishan to the Dragonhorn Lord during practice battles.

This is partly because the Zishan are Zerg warriors who awakened dual-elemental talents at an advanced stage, and partly because they are Zerg warriors from Banana Island.

Zishan continued, "As you know, I told the Green Bamboo Armor King and Lord Zili that I would stay here for a month."

But here at the coastal defense training camp, the situation for our tribe is so dire that even staying here means facing a constant stream of challenges. If I leave, the situation will become even more dire.

So I was thinking, let's switch roles. You go back and help Zihuai take care of the life-stealing creatures in the territory, while I stay here to stabilize the situation.

"How can this be?" Upon hearing Zishan's words, Zi Ai subconsciously retorted, "You just advanced to the advanced stage this year, and you still have so many life seeds to take care of. Coming here to play for a month is already a very willful act. If you stay here, Lord Zi Li will definitely be angry."

Besides, your life sac can nurture ordinary seeds into divinely bestowed ones; you are the hope of the tribe. If anything were to happen to you here, Lord Purple Plum would surely go mad.

Zishan said in a deep voice, "I also have my own considerations about this matter. It is precisely because I have just advanced to the advanced stage that I have been able to perceive many shortcomings that I myself could not see when I was training here."

The training and growth effects are maximized here. As for the life seeds, many life seeds have already been planted and are currently in the tree-growing stage. They don't need to flower or bear fruit yet, and it's the same with you all here.

As the master of Zehui Mountain once said, flowers in a greenhouse can never grow into towering trees; a broader stage is more suitable for me to showcase my talents.

Hearing what Zishan said, Zi Ai was speechless. It did not agree with Zishan's fallacies. In its opinion, Zishan's safety was far more important than this momentary argument.

But it really didn't know how to persuade Zishan, so it could only say, "You can talk to King Qingzhu himself when he comes."

Zishan understood that Zi Ai's situation wasn't too difficult; the biggest hurdle was dealing with the Green Bamboo Armor King and Lord Zi Li. Therefore, it subtly twitched its antennae: "I'll talk to the Green Bamboo Armor King when he arrives."

"Also, Lord Dragonhorn gave us the day off today. He said that the captains and squad leaders will be elected tomorrow. I want to try for the captain position so that I will have more room to maneuver here."

Upon hearing this, Zi Ai said with a hint of helplessness, "Should we talk to King Qingzhu about this first?"

Zishan: "Isn't King Qingzhujia not here right now?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Ai was speechless.

Zi Ai hesitated, then said, "The Spider King's Scroll—"

Because Zishan originally only planned to come here for a month, she did not bring the Spider King's Scroll, but only some Force Food.

Zi Ai did have the Spider King's Scroll. Before coming here, Lord Zi Li secretly gave it a Spider King's Scroll worth 10,000 primal stones.

Zishan said, "I'll stay here. Leave the Spider King's Scroll to me; it'll be convenient for me to exchange it for Force Food later."

Zi Ai swayed her antennae: "How about we ask the Green Bamboo Armor King if he'll let you stay here?"

It wasn't that it was reluctant to part with a few Spider King Scrolls, but rather that it was afraid the yew would misbehave.

Then it changed the subject, saying, "Okay, let's go get some Force food to eat first, and we'll discuss other arrangements and plans after King Qingzhujia comes to confirm."

Zishan knew her words would be hard to persuade her brother, so she didn't press the issue: "Alright then, I've been wanting to see what this treasure trove of Force-based food looks like."

The Force food reserves built by the Flame Spider Merchants and many large tribes of the Thousand Star Islands are also located on the island in the middle of the lake.

To the surprise of Zishan and the others, the warehouse was located in the same building on the east side of the island where the White-Headed Armor King first entertained the Green Bamboo Armor King and the others.

The two Yew brothers arrived a little late. When they got there, they saw Zerg warriors on rotation moving back and forth between the tall buildings.

They arrived at the entrance of the massive building just as two rhinoceros beetle warriors came out excitedly after purchasing Force food.

The two brothers seized the opportunity to intercept them: "Purple Camphor, Winter Flower, have you bought the Force food?"

Zizhang said, "I bought some. The quality of the Force food here is really good, but the price is also really expensive."

Is it expensive?

"It's quite expensive, because the lowest quality food here is all Force food produced in the territory of the Mountain Lord-level Zerg warriors. That's why the tribe gave me the Spider King's Scroll worth 3000 Primogems."

Including the seed production from my own territory and the Spider King Scrolls I received from nurturing mulberries last year, the total amount is only 12000 raw stones.

I can only afford to buy 1000 Primal Stones worth of Primal Food. I'll be staying here for another six months, so I need to plan my purchases carefully.

As she spoke, Purple Camphor took out the spider silk bag tied to its forelegs and opened it for Purple Fir to see: "I bought Force food to enhance speed and agility, and I also bought some God-given Force food to enhance endurance, so that I won't be so tired during training in the future."

Zishan scanned it with her mental power and slightly twitched her antennae: "Pretty good."

At this moment, Zi Ai asked curiously, "Isn't this a treasure trove of Force food that is stored and distributed to the coastal defense warriors? How did it become a treasure trove of Force food jointly established by the Flame Spider Merchants and the major tribes of the Thousand Star Islands?"

'

There was one thing it didn't say: Could it be that the major tribes on the Thousand Star Islands, in alliance with the Flame Spider merchants, are collecting the Force food handed over by other tribes on the Thousand Star Islands and then selling it to them?

Purple Camphor explained, "They said there are two treasure troves for storing Force food. One is a treasure trove specifically for storing Force food for coastal defense soldiers, and the other is a treasure trove jointly built by Flame Spider Merchants and many tribes of the Thousand Star Islands."

The tribes on the Thousand Star Islands bring their surplus Primal Energy food and divinely bestowed Primal Energy food here to sell, at their own risk.

Zishan immediately understood: "It's like setting up a trading square here, with some tribes having fixed stalls?"

"More or less, but not exactly the same."

Zishan was a little curious. What was it like inside? Could their rhinoceros beetle tribe really get involved?
