Astral Cockroach

The Red Rock Tree Sea is square. Banbu roughly estimated that the side length is about 20 kilometers, covering an area of about 400 square kilometers.

Such a vast tree sea requires pollination during the flowering season and a large labor force to harvest the fruits during the ripening season. These heavy and tedious tasks are all completed by the bee colony commanded by the Fire Lotus Queen.

The ant colony commanded by Big Head can also do these types of work, but it can never control a large area, not now, not in the future. The Big Head Harvester Ant race is just not capable.

Currently, Big Head, a L9 intermediate warrior, commands an ant colony of only about 5,000. Banbu estimates that as Big Head continues to grow, even if it is promoted to the level of Mountain Lord or County Lord, the size of the ant colony it controls will at most reach 100,000.

An ant colony composed of 100,000 worker ants and soldier ants is completely insignificant when placed in a forest with an area of 400 square kilometers.

Bees are different. The size of a bee colony is often larger than that of an ant colony, and the Red Ring Acid Bees, protected by the gods, are even larger. A County Lord-level queen bee can control millions of bees. Moreover, the division of labor in a bee colony is also very detailed. Ultra-small worker bees with a body length of 3 to 5 centimeters are specifically responsible for pollination. Small worker bees with a body length of 10 to 15 centimeters are specifically responsible for harvesting fruits. Large worker bees with a body length of more than 0.5 meters have high intelligence and can be responsible for selecting seeds.

Banbu plans to develop a bamboo sea, cultivate bamboo species, and develop the Jinping Mountains as rich as the Red Rock County, or even richer. For the long-term consideration, it is best to obtain the assistance of a queen bee.

"I plan to use this God-given Seed as a gift to invite that little queen bee to our Jinping Mountains."

Banbu finally stated his plan.

A long silence.

Seeing that Feng Ling did not speak, she had to come forward herself and dissuade him: "Banbu, the God-given Seed is too precious. Most warriors rarely encounter one in their lifetime. This price... is not worth it!"

Hongdao followed up and said: "That's right! There are hundreds of bee species in the forest, 31 species of acid bees alone. Honeybees are also fine. We can find them ourselves, maybe we can find a naturally born queen bee."

"Acid bees are the most suitable." Banbu shook his antennae and said: "But this type of bee is small and has weak combat power. The 31 species of acid bees are basically on the verge of extinction. The possibility of finding a queen bee in the forest is almost zero."

Mouse King said: "Banbu, we can help you find it! That is a God-given Seed, it's too much of a loss."

"A loss?" Banbu said: "Inviting her to Lizhu Peak means she is a member of our Lizhu Peak. Isn't the God-given Seed still staying at Lizhu Peak? Think about it, even if this Cattail God-given Seed is cultivated into a Life Seed by me or Hongdao, in the future, when we invite a queen bee to develop in our territory, as the bamboo sea is built, won't we still need to take out a large amount of Origin Power food to support the queen bee's growth?"

Banbu suddenly realized what Mouse King was worried about and said: "Mouse King, don't worry, the one-tenth of the income that belongs to you bamboo rat warriors will not be reduced."

If his income would not be reduced, then there was no problem.

Mouse King changed his tone and said: "Banbu, your consideration also has some merit."

Mouse King waved his paw, and with a look, the six little bamboo rat warriors behind him understood and echoed in agreement:

"Makes sense!"

"Banbu is right!"

"I approve of Banbu's decision!"

...

Banbu ignored the bamboo rat warriors and continued: "The Red Ring Acid Bee race also awakens the fire ability. When the queen bee advances to the Mountain Lord level, the bee colony she commands has considerable combat power, and it is aerial combat power, which can strengthen our Lizhu Peak's strength."

Hongdao said unwillingly: "In terms of combat power, hornets and wasps are stronger."

Banbu said: "Hornets and wasps are not suitable for managing a territory."

Feng Ling suddenly realized and asked: "Banbu, are you planning to develop the Jinping Mountains into something like Red Rock County?"

Banbu asked: "Why not?"

"It's possible, but..." Feng Ling stammered, and after a long while, sighed: "Banbu, I believe you can do it, but I don't know if I can live to see that day..."

Big Head also weakly said: "I heard that Red Rock County has been developing for more than 300 years to achieve today's prosperity... Only County Lords can live that long."

"Big Head, Feng Ling, you can both grow into County Lords." Banbu flapped his wings and said:

"This matter is settled. I will go to the Iron Saber Mountains and ask Ya Bai to come and help guard. I may have to travel far afterwards, and it will take ten days or so to return. Mouse King, you will temporarily stay at Lizhu Peak to be vigilant. Big Bear, you will also stay on the mountain and don't go down to work for the time being."

"Understood." Big Bear replied. He didn't quite understand Banbu's decision, and he never objected.

"Okay." Mouse King also agreed.

...

Just as Banbu expected, at Lizhu Peak, the warriors, including Mountain Lord Iron Saber, dissuaded him for a long time before finally convincing him.

In the end, Banbu flew alone to Red Rock County.

Ya Bai and Li Zhu went to Lizhu Peak to help guard the territory's safety.

...

Three days later, he arrived at Red Rock County.

Along the way, Banbu discovered that, just as the Fire Lotus Queen had requested, all the Red Cockroach warriors in the entire Red Rock County had been mobilized, wandering all over the mountains and plains, searching for the God-given Seed.

The latest and most complete novels are on 6_9_shu_ba.

It was already late autumn and early winter, and most people were idle. It was good to walk around when they were free.

The Red Rock Tree fruits had been harvested, and the bee colonies had all retreated to their hives for the winter.

Unlike the lively and busy scene he had seen last time, the tree sea was now calm and silent.

As soon as he approached the tree sea, a mental power scan swept over, and then he saw County Lord Big Leaf flapping his wings from the depths of the tree sea and rushing over.

"Banbu! What happened?"

In County Lord Big Leaf's impression, the warriors from the Borderland Mountains basically came every time because their territory had been attacked by beast warriors, either to request combat support or to demand compensation.

"County Lord Big Leaf, you are worried, nothing happened." Banbu said: "I have something I want to discuss with the Fire Lotus Queen."

County Lord Big Leaf asked: "What is it?"

Banbu opened the small silk pouch he was carrying, took out a bamboo tube made of withered bamboo poles, pried open the dry fluff used to block it, and then pulled out a roll of python skin from the bamboo tube. The python skin was peeled open layer by layer, revealing a brownish-red seed with a faint Origin Power fluctuation.

"God-given Seed!"

County Lord Big Leaf was so excited that his wing veins unconsciously unfolded and shook, almost releasing his fire ability.

"Another God-given Seed!"

County Lord Big Leaf shouted in disbelief.

Banbu introduced: "This is a Cattail God-given Seed."

County Lord Big Leaf asked: "Banbu, are you looking for the Fire Lotus Queen?"

Banbu said: "Yes."

County Lord Big Leaf instantly understood Banbu's intentions, his emotions fluctuating for a long while before calming down, and then lowered his mental power and said: "Banbu, I think you are making a big loss by doing this, don't rush, come with me to meet County Lord Red Rock."
