Astral Cockroach

"Banbu! Big Head!"

Hei Sang had just been promoted to a senior warrior and was already cheering from afar, using its divine sense.

"Banbu! Cuizhu has grown again, and it's growing really well!"

The relatively mature and steady Lizhu also greeted him enthusiastically from a great distance, with unconcealable joy in its mental power.

The two of them were each carrying a snakeskin bag.

Landing, Hei Sang immediately opened its bag and said, "Banbu, Yabai said that the Qingti fruit is especially effective. It now has absolute confidence in successfully completing its seventh instar molt and growth."

"These are fresh fruits newly produced in Yabai's territory this year, and it specifically asked me to bring them over to thank you!"

The bag was filled with fresh fruits such as honey peaches, star fruit, rose apples, and apricots. These fresh fruits were difficult to preserve and had to be eaten immediately after ripening. The fruits on the same tree did not ripen at the same time; they were picked one at a time as they ripened, so the variety was mixed.

Lizhu also opened its bag and said, "Mountain Lord Tiedao estimates that the raw stones you earned last year are probably all used up, and you may not have enough raw force food to eat. It specifically asked me to bring a batch of fresh fruit."

"Hei Sang, Lizhu, please thank Mountain Lord Tiedao and Yabai for me." Banbu took the snakeskin bags and was about to ask a question when Feng Ling flew up the mountain carrying Hongdao.

"Hei Sang! Lizhu!"

Feng Ling greeted them.

Hongdao had sharp eyes. It flapped its wings and flew down in front of Banbu, glanced at the snakeskin bags, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, so many raw force fruits!"

Then it looked at Banbu hopefully and asked, "Banbu, can I eat one?"

"Eat one." Banbu introduced, "This is Hongdao, a mixed bloodline of the Chi Lian tribe and the Hei Bai Hua Lian tribe. It's very intelligent, has learned the three-line hybrid rice technology of the ant tribe, and has also brought back three kinds of rice seeds for cultivating red rice."

"Hello, Hei Sang! Hello, Lizhu!" Hongdao greeted them, then directly burrowed into the bag, picking and choosing, intending to select the largest raw force fruit.

Sure enough, after Lizhu and Hei Sang heard Banbu's introduction, they directly ignored Hongdao's ugly carapace color and marveled at its intelligence, exclaiming in unison:

"It learned how to obtain high-quality rice seeds through hybridization?"

"It's said to be very complicated. Many warriors in our Chi Lian tribe have tried it, but two-line hybrid rice is difficult to produce, and three-line is even more baffling. It's so young, how did it learn it?"

Hybrid rice is quite complicated without understanding the principles, especially three-line hybridization.

However, this primitive technology had long been played out by human ancestors, so Banbu didn't think there was anything amazing about it.

"Actually, it's not that difficult." Banbu commented lightly, then poked the snakeskin bag with its forelegs and said sternly, "Hongdao, don't just think about yourself. Go, go down the mountain and call Daxiong and Rat King and the others up here to eat together."

"Oh…" Hongdao put down the honey peach it had already eaten most of, picked up an apricot with its forelegs, and flew shakily down the mountain as if it were drunk.

Banbu said with dissatisfaction, "Feng Ling, this little guy is already dishonest, and you're still indulging it. Sooner or later, it'll be like Hei Sang, lazy and idle, just knowing how to play all day long."

Feng Ling wiggled its antennae innocently, feeling that Banbu was joking, but it couldn't laugh, and didn't know how to answer, so it simply kept quiet.

"Hmph!" Hei Sang snorted unhappily.

Banbu asked cheerfully again, "Hei Sang, Lizhu, why are you so happy? Is there something good?"

"Yes." Lizhu replied.

The still-huffy Hei Sang snatched the chance to shout, "Banbu, another new warrior has been born in Tiedao Peak! I'm also an elder now!"

Lizhu nudged Hei Sang and continued, "It's very strange, it was still born in Yabai's territory."

Feng Ling was surprised and asked, "Again in Yabai's territory?!"

Hei Sang said triumphantly, "That's right, Yabai's territory!"

Banbu fell into thought.

Hei Sang was born in Yabai's territory. Only three years have passed, and a second young warrior has been born.

Although the probability of ordinary cockroaches awakening their raw force is extremely low, and luck plays a big part, the consecutive birth of two warriors in the same territory in a short period of time is a bit abnormal.

Hei Sang asked, "Banbu, as an elder with three God-given Seeds, shouldn't you give it a little gift in advance?"

"Of course." Banbu shouted, "Datou, go get three snake blood apricot kernels. This is a gift for the younger generation. Also, bring some five-leaf red cedar pine nuts to treat the guests."

Lizhu joked, "Banbu, every time I come here, I get to eat God-given Seed fruits. If I visit Lizhu Peak often, I'll definitely become a mountain lord."

Banbu said, "Then you and Hei Sang must come often in the future."

Banbu asked again, "Is it still a critical period? Has Tiedao Mountain lifted martial law?"

Affected by the beast warriors fleeing from Yulan and Shinan Mountains, Tiedao Mountain had also entered a state of martial law. The so-called martial law meant that the mountain warriors could not easily leave their territory and had to remain vigilant at all times. Once any abnormality was discovered, they would immediately use long-range wireless communication to transmit messages to warn and request assistance.

"No." Lizhu said, "It's mainly that there are too many good news this time, so we had to make a trip. We can't stay too long, we have to go back after eating your pine nuts."

"Too much good news?" Banbu asked, "What other good news is there?"

Hei Sang asked, "Banbu, do you know the Bigfruit Fig of Chuirong Mountain?"

"What Bigfruit Fig? A Chi Lian warrior?" Banbu said, "I don't know it."

Hei Sang wiggled its antennae and said, "It used to be called Yangtao, but it just changed its name."

"That newly born little warrior?" Banbu said, "I know it. Last year, it demonstrated how to mix amber fruit juice to preserve fresh fruit. Why did it suddenly change its name? Could it be…"

Hei Sang was about to answer when Lizhu slapped it on the head with its antennae, snatched the conversation, and said, "Because it obtained a Bigfruit Fig God-given Seed!"

"Lizhu!" Hei Sang roared in dissatisfaction, turned sideways, and bumped into Lizhu,抢着说道:

"Last winter, the warriors of Chuirong Mountain were besieging a beast warrior, and Yangtao followed along to watch the fun. It is said that the battle was very fierce. It hid under a wild Bigfruit Fig tree to watch, and its mental power spread out. It noticed a weak raw force fluctuation on the ground, which was emitted by a rotten fig. After careful inspection, it turned out to be a God-given Seed!"

After Hei Sang finished speaking, it sighed, "This is the blessing of the God of Nature! We look for it every year, but we can't find it no matter what. That little guy, on the other hand, followed along to watch the fun and just picked it up casually."

Lizhu continued, "The Bigfruit Fig God-given Seed was sown in the spring, and it is currently growing very smoothly. Through the plant's aura, it has been determined that it should strengthen the physique. The specific effect and quality can only be determined after it grows up and the fruit is tasted."

"A arbour God-given Seed!" Banbu was a little envious and a little surprised.

Having a physique-strengthening God-given Seed near the mountain range, no matter what kind of strengthening it is, I will definitely be able to use it. In the future, I can trade nearby, and with the kinship, the price will definitely be favorable, which is a good thing with no harm.

Lizhu continued, "Mountain Lord Chuirong has already begun to prepare for promotion to County Lord. County Lord Chijian has sent 30 senior warriors and three mountain lords to guard it. They have also pre-ordered 10 redemption quotas for their fellow warriors from the caravan, preparing to accelerate their expansion. Within fifty years, Yangti Mountain will definitely be upgraded to a county. With successors, it will prosper for at least 500 years!"
