Astral Cockroach

There are two situations when flying: usually carrying silk pouches and goods, which doesn't allow for high speed; the other is flying empty-handed at the fastest possible speed.

Flying continuously for five or six days, crossing two kingdoms, is considered a very long journey.

Passing through the Roach Tribe was fine. Several times, their mental power scanned me, but after confirming I was an insect race, they immediately withdrew their divine sense without further action.

Entering the Brown Bee Kingdom…

Along the way, I saw many meteorite craters and landed to check, but everything had been picked clean.

Too much time had passed, and the chances of finding anything were slim.

斑布 had only been flying for half a day when he was suddenly locked onto by a mental power, followed by a "buzzing" roar.

Tens of thousands of brown hornets, each over 1 meter long, took off from the forest, intercepting 斑布's path.

斑布 didn't want to cause trouble in a foreign land, so he simply stopped and waited.

A queen bee, nearly 4 meters long, ascended into the sky, guarded by 5 combat worker bees.

A princess-level queen bee.

Looking from high above, one could see a particularly tall tree with strong origin power fluctuations, definitely a God-given Seed.

A princess-level queen bee with a God-given Seed was not to be trifled with.

"Gold Mantis Kingdom? Dark Night Gold Mantis Tribe?" the queen bee asked.

"Uh… no…" 斑布 explained, "I am from the Flying Fire Roach Tribe, a direct descendant of the Longevity Roach King, I…"

Before he could finish.

"A member of the Longevity Roach King's tribe! You dare run to the Brown Bee Kingdom?!"

Upon hearing "Longevity Roach King," the queen bee not only didn't show courtesy but instead became furious. With a wave of her antennae, the bee swarm attacked 斑布 directly.

"I… I am under the Longevity Roach King's orders to go to the Blade Mantis Kingdom!" 斑布 first gave himself a grand title, his whole body erupting in flames, repelling the swarming bees. He flapped his wings, accelerating his escape.

The princess-level queen bee of the Brown Hornet Tribe wasn't determined to kill 斑布; the intimidation was stronger. She commanded the bee swarm to chase for about 10 kilometers before giving up and returning to the mountain.

…

Having escaped the chase.

斑布 pondered as he flew: The Longevity Peach is renowned throughout the Ten Thousand Races Continent, hailed as a "divine product," priced at 2 million origin stones, extending lifespan by a century. For any warrior with a God-given Seed, buying one is definitely a worthwhile investment.

There are too many insect warriors who want to buy it and have the financial means.

However, only 33 peaches are produced every 9 years, making supply fall far short of demand.

Most warriors want to buy but can't afford it.

Not buying once, twice, or three times is fine, but after many times, resentment inevitably arises, leading to hatred.

The "Longevity Roach King" signboard is certainly useful in the Fire Roach Kingdom, and neighboring kingdoms will probably show some respect, but far away, it might not only be useless but also bring unwarranted disaster…

"Stupid Vitex Princess!"

"You're坑爹!"

斑布 was secretly annoyed.

…

After flying for another half a day, he was locked onto by a powerful mental power again.

Immediately afterward, a dense buzzing sound rang out.

Dozens of combat worker bees led tens of thousands of brown hornets, ascending from all directions, forming an encirclement.

A powerful mental force surged, coming from deep within the jungle: "Gold Mantis Kingdom? Dark Night Gold Mantis Tribe?"

Was this a princess-level or a king-level queen bee?

"Uh…" 斑布 replied affirmatively, "Gold Mantis Kingdom, Dark Night Gold Mantis Tribe, Golden Orchid Mountains, Master of Golden Orchid Mountain. I heard that the Blade Mantis Kingdom suffered a great disaster, so I am traveling day and night to provide support."

A moment of silence.

The queen bee seemed to be pondering where the "Golden Orchid Mountains" were… then, she felt it was a small place she hadn't heard of.

"Understood! Go ahead."

"Don't linger in my Brown Bee Kingdom!"

His current size indeed resembled the Gold Mantis Tribe.

斑布's tense heart relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank you!"

With that, he sped away.

…

Brown hornets are much fiercer than acid bees, a typical combat-oriented and belligerent race.

Over the next journey, he was intercepted 4 times in a row, each time impersonating the Gold Mantis Tribe, successfully bluffing his way through.

Clearly, the name "Dark Night Gold Mantis Tribe" was more useful and not so easily exposed!

…

Entering the Blade Mantis Kingdom.

斑布 was a little lost: Where were the Orchid Mountains?

Flying past a mountain range, he deliberately approached a taller peak.

He was immediately locked onto by a mental power.

Master level?

斑布 stopped.

A blade mantis warrior, over 5 meters long, flapped its wings and ascended, staring at 斑布, a little unsure, tentatively asking, "Gold Mantis Kingdom? Dark Night Gold Mantis Tribe?"

Hey! Can't even distinguish close relatives? That's great!

斑布 said, "I am the Master of Golden Orchid Mountain, from the Golden Orchid Mountains. I heard that the Blade Mantis Kingdom suffered a great disaster, so I am traveling day and night to provide support. Is there anything I can help with?"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Golden Orchid Mountains?" The blade mantis warrior was puzzled for a moment, then enthusiastically said, "That's great, we happen to have something that needs your help in our mountains."

"My name is Red Bean, Master of Red Bean Mountain."

"Master of Golden Orchid Mountain, please!"

Master Red Bean waved her antennae, signaling 斑布 to follow her.

…

斑布 just wanted to ask for directions.

He said a polite word, but he didn't expect the other party to really have something that needed help.

They landed about 5 kilometers away from the mountain peak.

On a flat ground, pieces of warships, large and small, were piled into a small hill.

Master Red Bean said, "I heard that things from outer space may carry evil power, so I have piled them all here."

"These things seem to be all metal… Master of Golden Orchid Mountain, please help me check them to see if there is any danger."

Master Red Bean was a little embarrassed, continuing, "Also, I would like to ask you to help me see if there is anything of value inside."

"Fragments have no value." 斑布 shook the dagger in his front claws, saying, "These sharp things have a little value. The most valuable thing should be those square things."

Square things must be boxes, containing treasures.

斑布 asked, "Have you found these two types of things?"

Master Red Bean shook her antennae blankly, saying, "Everything in our Red Bean Mountains is concentrated here…"

"Good! Understood." 斑布's mental power swept through the debris, roughly judging that they were all fragments, none of them complete. He scanned again carefully… his attention was drawn to a broken metal box.

Origin Stone Storage Box!

A corner was forcibly torn off by the power of the spatial turbulence.

The lid was forcibly opened, and it was empty, with nothing inside.

斑布 walked forward, rummaged through the mess, pulled out the box, held it, and examined it carefully. There were no signs of damage inside. When it landed, origin stones should have been perfectly preserved.

A bad feeling arose in his heart!

Thinking it over, among the goods transported by Luan-407, the most valuable to his current state was of course the dominator-level metal core.

Secondly, the God-given Seed plants that were plundered were definitely destroyed without a second thought.

Next were the origin power foods, but not many.

And then, the origin stone storage boxes.

Each box contained 64 origin stones, which, converted according to the amount of origin power contained, was equivalent to 6.4 million origin stones on this planet!

The number of origin stone storage boxes was also the largest, seemingly an integer of 15,000.

Damn it! If the news that the storage boxes contain origin stones spreads, wouldn't he have no chance to find anything?

斑布 worried, asking, "Master Red Bean, is there anything else inside?"

"Master of Golden Orchid Mountain, you are indeed amazing! That's right, there is something inside." Master Red Bean said excitedly, "I can confirm that the thing is not harmful and contains extremely vast origin power… It looked quite hard, but after cutting it a few times, it broke open, and the origin power spread everywhere."

"Bro… broke how many?" 斑布's teeth ached.

"I accidentally broke 2, and there are 21 left. I sent them to King Spruce Mantis. He promised to give me 10,000 origin stones as a reward every year." Master Red Bean twisted her body joyfully, asking, "Master of Golden Orchid Mountain, do you think I have a chance to advance to princess level?"

21? That's 2.1 million origin stones!

10,000 origin stones per year as a reward? The interest is more than that, right? King Spruce Mantis is really black-hearted!

"Should… be." 斑布 was speechless.

Master Red Bean was overjoyed, saying, "Master of Golden Orchid Mountain, please help me take a closer look. Are these things dangerous? Are they valuable? I heard that you Gold Mantis Kingdom likes to collect all kinds of rare metals."

"I've looked carefully, there's no danger… and there's no value." 斑布's mood was terrible.

In the spatial turbulence, most of the storage boxes will be torn apart, and the secret of the origin stones inside is destined to be unhidden!
