Chapter 11 The Little Warrior Who Loves to Fight

Although Zizhu said she wanted the three little ones to clear the weeds from her seed, she was just joking.

The three little ones can't do much work at all; pulling a few weeds is their limit. They spend most of their time playing here.

Fortunately, they have playmates here. The Tribe of the Two-Forked Rhinoceros Beetles occupies nearly two thousand square kilometers of land as their tribal territory. On this vast land, two to three little warriors are born every year.

In addition, they would also redeem their tribe's young warriors from the Flame Spider Merchants. After all, the entire Thousand Tree Continent was so vast that there were many places suitable for rhinoceros beetles to live, and it was impossible for young warriors to be born only in their territory.

Many rhinoceros beetle warriors are born in the wild. They either live alone in the wild or are adopted by other tribes. If their tribe is willing to pay a sum of gemstones to redeem them, the Flame Spider Merchant will bring them back to their tribe.

Not only rhinoceros beetle warriors, but all other Zerg warriors are the same. Zerg warriors are randomly generated. To form a tribe or kingdom, they must gather their own Zerg warriors together. Only in this way can they grow stronger.

This is also an important type of trading for the Flame Spider Merchant.

The reason why the Flame Spider Merchants were assigned this task was that the Flame Spider Warriors were different from other warriors. They only nurtured one Life Seed and mainly obtained growth and evolution resources by trading Force food.

The Flame Spider Merchants' own life seed can freely switch between plant and seed forms.

Once they advance to the Mountain Lord level, they will awaken this ability, which will be named "Returning Heaven's Illumination".

The Resurrection ability allows Zerg warriors to revert their life seed back to its seed form, similar to the Flame Spider's life seed, and replant it.

In this way, even if a Zerg warrior has twenty or thirty Life Seeds, he can use this ability to transform the Life Seeds back into seed form and carry them around.

This greatly facilitated the Zerg warriors who were originally only able to station themselves in their territories to protect their lifeblood, and it is also the reason why the Flame Spider Merchants were able to continue this business without any Zerg competing with them for the market.

The two-forked rhinoceros beetles living in Ziling today include six warriors under the age of three, plus three smaller ones, all of whom are novice warriors.

Their Tribe of the Two-Forked Rhinoceros Tortoises is not particularly wealthy; mid-level warriors basically have to learn farming from their elders.

Advanced warriors need to become independent, so the tribe allocates a territory for them to learn how to manage it. Zizhu and Zitong are similar cases.

Besides the Diplodocus rhinoceros beetle family itself, their territory also contains a small number of other families of rhinoceros beetle tribes, such as the Hercules beetle tribe, the Hercules beetle tribe, the Hercules beetle tribe, and more than twenty other closely related tribes.

They also live here, relying on the two-pronged rhinoceros beetle tribe for growth, and occasionally little warriors are born.

……

"Fight! Fight!" As dusk fell, the sun and moon appeared in the same sky. On a grassy field, a dozen or so small warriors of all sizes gathered together. The smallest was only the size of an apple, while the largest was the size of a winter melon. They watched the two small warriors fighting each other with their halberds and shouted excitedly.

Unlike the Zerg warriors of other tribes, who are required to unite by their tribal elders, the Rhinoceros Beetle tribe is born to fight.

With one large horn, combined with the ability to support a force dozens of times their own body weight, they are natural berserkers.

In ordinary rhinoceros beetles, the winner is determined by battle, and whoever wins gets the mating rights.

This trend intensifies after they evolve into Force Warriors, with the young warriors fighting almost daily. As long as no insect deaths occur, the tribal elders do not intervene.

"Flip it over!" Inside the arena, a small warrior of the Hercules beetle and a small warrior of the Rhinoceros beetle were locked in a horn-butting battle, each trying to flip the other over.

As a member of the same genus in the family Scarabaeidae, and a close relative of the Rhinoceros Beetle, the Hercules beetle of the South Seas is no less powerful than the Rhinoceros Beetle, and may even be stronger.

After the two giant horns collided several times, the little warrior from the South Seas Hercules exerted its strength and directly sent the little warrior from the opposite side, the Double-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle, flying.

"Oh, oh, they won!" Some of the soldiers cheered as their chosen soldier won, while others sighed in despair.

"The purple camphor tree is useless, I'll take over." A young soldier rushed out to take over the battle.

"No way!" the other young soldiers shouted. "You're a seven-year-old warrior, while Yangzi is only a six-year-old warrior. That's not fair!"

"Then let's get a seven-year-old instead."

"On the bamboo, the bamboo is a seven-year-old warrior."

"I'll go, I'll go!" A mammoth stepped forward, and the two wrestled.

Just as the many little warriors were watching them fight and making a ruckus, a huge Zerg warrior flew over from a distance.

Its enormous form descended upon the young soldiers, completely blocking out the last rays of the twilight.

"You bunch of bastards, don't you know to go home when it gets dark? Foxes and wolves roam at night, watch out or they'll eat you up."

The young soldiers declared proudly, "I'm not afraid, I can overpower them!"

"Stop talking nonsense and go home. I heard that the Flame Spider Merchant Guild teaches tribal warriors knowledge. We should all be taken here for a proper lesson."

"Hmph." The young soldiers flew back to the location of their elders' life-sustaining seed, unwilling to accept defeat.

"A bunch of good-for-nothing little warriors who only know how to fight all day long." The senior rhinoceros beetle warrior muttered, "Perhaps the kingdom lords are right, we really need to invite a Flame Spider Merchant to teach them a lesson, otherwise they'll be making a ruckus all day long and we won't have any peace and quiet."

"Huh? What's class?" Zihuai and the others climbed onto Zitong's head and asked curiously.

"The purpose of teaching is to impart knowledge beyond memorization."

Looking at the few little soldiers that had climbed up to her head, Zitong said irritably, "It's such a short distance, can't you fly back by yourselves?"

"Zitong, you fly the fastest."

"Hurry up, we're all hungry, let's go back and eat peanuts."

"Eat my foot! Why didn't you say you were hungry when you were watching them fight? Now you're saying you're hungry."

"It seems like the yew is about to evolve," Zi Ai changed the subject.

"What?" Zi Tong's spiritual sense swept over Zi Shan and saw that Zi Shan looked somewhat tired and drowsy, and really looked like it was about to evolve.

"It's finally going to evolve!" Zitong cried tears of joy.

Ordinary little warriors can evolve once every one to three months in the initial stage, but it has been almost half a year since Zishan evolved. Zihua and Ziai have both advanced to the fifth age, but it is still stuck in the first age.

This is because it draws a large amount of primal force and is aided by purple locust and purple artemisia.

The junior warriors only have a lifespan of about ten years, and all the insects are afraid that the yew will not survive the junior stage.

"Go home, go home." Zitong didn't dare to delay and quickly spread her wings and flew home.
