Astral Cockroach

Ban Bu was very conflicted.

This planet was ruled by insectoid races, all descendants of gods. Considering the bigger picture, there was a survival crisis due to the depletion of the gods' protective power. On a smaller scale, there was also the worry of insufficient insect population.

Wars always need a purpose. Without resource concerns, it's difficult for wars to break out on the Continent of Myriad Kingdoms.

Aside from the threat of beasts, there were hardly any other battles.

Even if there was a battle, the fire ability of the Red Ant Tribe was powerful enough; it sufficed.

What was the use of activating the metal ability of the heart's divine pattern?

Get a water pipe for every member of Li Zhu Peak and achieve running water in every home? What a load of crap!

Build a metal house for himself?

The most advanced thing would be to build a simple hydroelectric power station…

Definitely not. The members on the mountain were too dim-witted. They could become obsessed with simple running water. If electricity was implemented, wouldn't they all get electrocuted?

The key was that it wasn't even necessary.

It wasn't worth investing 6 million Origin Stones.

Moreover, investing 6 million Origin Stones wouldn't guarantee success.

If it failed, there would be no place to cry.

…

After thinking about it all night, Ban Bu couldn't resist the itch in his heart and decided to try it.

Origin Stones were hard currency; he was reluctant to use them.

After several practices, he confirmed that the Blood Bramble's God-given Seed's rate of absorbing and releasing Origin Power was fast enough.

Try it with Origin Power Crystals!

Ban Bu had always been reluctant to use this thing. Using it now was also painful. He secretly decided to only use one for testing.

Late at night, he secretly went down the mountain with Big Head.

Big Head also brought a few ordinary soldier ants and over a thousand small worker ants.

"Ban Bu."

The Blood Bramble Tree Spirit was a little surprised and greeted him happily.

Ban Bu said, "Blood Bramble, you absorb Origin Power and then feedback it to me.

This time, the burst of Origin Power will be a lot. Be quick, understand?"

"Understood."

The Blood Bramble Tree Spirit's temperament was similar to Big Bear's. No matter what, it would agree first and then ask questions: "Ban Bu, why will the burst of Origin Power be a lot this time?"

Ban Bu shook his antennae, pointed to an Origin Power Crystal held by a soldier ant, and patiently explained: "This is an Origin Power Crystal, condensing the equivalent of 100,000 Origin Stones of Origin Power.

Once damaged, it will immediately collapse into small particles, and the Origin Power inside will also quickly spread.

Blood Bramble, don't waste it. You must absorb the Origin Power in time and feedback it to me, understand?"

After a transformation and growth, the Blood Bramble Tree Spirit's intelligence improved, its memory got better, and it even learned a little math.

This time, it didn't ask much. Seeing Ban Bu's serious instructions, it also seriously said: "I understand!"

Ban Bu waved his antennae.

Big Head immediately released the order, and the soldier ant holding the Origin Power Crystal drilled into the center of the bushes.

The mandibles began to cut the edges of the crystal.

Ordinary worker ants were all surrounding, ready to go.

The Origin Power Crystal was an octahedron, very stable and sturdy, but also had a weakness, which was the edges.

If more than 8 edges showed slight damage, the internal tension of the entire crystal would be unbalanced and it would immediately collapse.

"Pa"

With a crisp sound, the Origin Power Crystal burst open, turning into small crystal particles.

The surrounding ordinary worker ants rushed forward in an orderly manner, each holding a particle and quickly running into the distance.

The scattered small crystal particles continuously emitted Origin Power outwards.

"Ban Bu!"

The Blood Bramble Tree Spirit exclaimed.

"Blood Bramble, don't worry, take it slow."

Ban Bu comforted.

Immediately, a vast amount of Origin Power rushed into his body.

Ban Bu quickly controlled it and poured it into his heart.

The rate at which the divine pattern absorbed Origin Power was also super strong, directly absorbing it completely.

…

Once the Origin Power Crystal collapsed, the speed at which Origin Power dissipated was too fast, and by dawn, it had all dissipated.

Fortunately, the Blood Bramble's God-given Seed's ability to absorb and release was also strong enough, only being caught off guard and leaking a little at the beginning.

Big Head had long taken the ant colony back to the mountain.

Ban Bu silently lay beside the Blood Bramble thicket, constantly monitoring the changes in his heart.

As expected, 5 divine patterns were lit up, and the 6th one was lit up a little bit, all corresponding to the "Metal Transformation" and "Metal Control" abilities.

"The injected Origin Power is too little.

I can't feel any signs of the divine patterns 'coming to life'."

"Should I try another Origin Power Crystal?"

Ban Bu thought, and immediately suppressed this dangerous idea.

He felt that this kind of thing would be "addictive". He was afraid that after using one, he would want to use another, and eventually waste all the Origin Power Crystals.

Origin Power Crystals were the last bottom line of Ban Bu's wealth accumulation!

"Forget it, I'll wait until I make a fortune someday before considering it."

"Ordinary Life Seeds are growing, and can steadily absorb 50 Origin Stones of Origin Power every day.

I can slowly accumulate power, and it will be full in about 300 years…"

"Is it possible to entrust a merchant team to help inquire about the news of Origin Power Crystal storage boxes…"

Ban Bu thought, and shook his antennae in denial.

"Ban Bu, I'm so tired."

The Blood Bramble Tree Spirit's thoughts were full of exhaustion.

Ban Bu shook his head, dispelled the various thoughts in his mind, and comforted: "Blood Bramble, the sun is about to come out.

It will be better to bask in the sun. Today, I will ask Big Head to get you more swamp water and swamp residue."

"Okay."

The Blood Bramble Tree Spirit weakly responded.

"You rest quickly, I'm going back to the mountain to rest too."

Ban Bu instructed, flapped his wings and ascended, returning to Li Zhu Peak.

…

Blood Peach was one of the most delicious fruits Ban Bu had ever eaten.

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

Last winter, Ban Bu personally went to Blood Peach County again, and specially asked the Blood Peach County Lord for two Blood Peach seeds, one given to Fire Bramble to nurture into a Life Seed, and one kept to be given to Dragon Bamboo to nurture when it grows up.

Windbell's Blood Peach Tree Life Seed scale was already not small.

Red Rice, Belly Bamboo, and Red Rice's Blood Peach Life Seeds were growing year by year, and the number of fruits they bear will become more and more.

In the future, the fresh Blood Peach fruit production of Li Zhu Peak will increase year by year.

Ban Bu set a rule that in mid-May every year, a small peach tasting gathering will be held regularly.

In June, during the Snow Peak Golden Orchid Melon ripening season, another small melon tasting gathering will be held.

Regularly gathering together to eat and drink will enhance the relationship between the members on the mountain and enrich the entertainment life of the mountain.

It's a rare tranquility and ease. If you don't enjoy it well, you'll be sorry for the fallen gods.

…

At noon when the scorching sun was high.

Ban Bu gathered the members of Li Zhu Peak together.

Basking in the most venomous sun, eating the coldest watermelon.

Unfortunately, only Ban Bu and Windbell, who were the strongest in the Red Ant Tribe, could experience the pleasure of it.

Other members, including Big Bear, didn't like the scorching sun and hugged the melon, hiding in the shade of the trees.

A fiery red figure sped over from the north.

"Li Zhu?"

Windbell was strange.

Now was the season when the dry season was about to enter, shouldn't Iron Blade Peak be very busy?

How could Li Zhu Peak have time to run over?

"Ban Bu! Windbell!"

Li Zhu landed, looked around, looked at the melon rinds all over the ground, and the members of Li Zhu Peak gathered together, also strange, and said: "The dry season is coming soon, aren't you busy?"

"Not in a hurry, Li Zhu Peak has enough labor force, we'll start being busy in a few days."

Ban Bu greeted and shouted: "Red Rice, Belly Bamboo, you guys go up the mountain quickly and bring two Golden Orchid Melons down for Li Zhu."

Windbell also greeted and said: "Li Zhu, this is a new watermelon sent by the merchant team, named Snow Peak Golden Orchid, the taste is super good, try it together."

Ban Bu also asked: "Li Zhu, you look very happy, is there any good news?"

Li Zhu couldn't suppress his excitement, his antennae danced wildly, and said: "Ban Bu, you are too amazing.

Black Mulberry has cultivated a brand new variety of mulberry tree according to the method you said.

This year it bears fruit, and unexpectedly a God-given Seed was born."

God-given Seed!

Ban Bu was still calm.

Windbell almost jumped up when he heard the words, looked at Ban Bu, and said: "Ban Bu, you are right!

Cultivating new high-quality plants, the Natural True God will naturally bestow a God-given Seed as a reward!"

"This matter is not very accurate, there's no certainty, don't publicize it everywhere."

Ban Bu first exhorted, and asked: "Li Zhu, what is the name of the new mulberry tree?"

"Black Jade Mulberry."

Li Zhu said: "Iron Blade Mountain Lord has just made a decision today to shovel some Iron Blade trees and plant mulberry trees on a large scale at the foot of the mountain, just according to your method for breeding, Ban Bu, will it be possible to obtain more mulberry tree God-given Seeds in the future?"

"This… to be honest, the probability is still too low.

In addition, Iron Blade trees are not easy to cultivate, it's best not to shovel them away, just open up new mulberry fields.

If you are too busy, I can let Big Bear and Bamboo Rat warriors go over to help."

In fact, many insect races on this planet have mastered the breeding method that Ban Bu told Black Mulberry.

It's very simple, grafting technology.

Grafting the scion of one mulberry tree to another variety of mulberry tree.

It will not directly give birth to a new variety of mulberry tree.

However, because the nutrient composition provided by the root system branches of different species is different, there is a certain probability to stimulate and induce gene mutations, giving birth to new varieties.

The mutation probability is very low, and the probability of obtaining high-quality varieties is even lower.

In fact, Ban Bu just mentioned it casually. Black Mulberry is a relatively lazy guy, and he doesn't plant many mulberry trees. His success is 99% luck.
