Astral Cockroach

Flying in a straight line, the journey was approximately 50 kilometers, and along the way, I saw hundreds of craters of various sizes.

There were large craters, and inside some, there were still remnants too large to move.

Numerous plants were overturned by the shock waves, with wreckage everywhere.

One could imagine that the entire Orchid Mountain Range was riddled with holes.

The concentrated fall of debris was simple: they were all extras brought down by the large wreckage.

… …

By mid-morning, I arrived at my destination.

The overall scale of the Orchid Mountain Range was not very large, with an estimated height of only 300 to 500 meters.

A section of the warship wreckage, torn apart by spatial turbulence, was forcibly embedded in the mountain range. Cutting off the head and tail, it was impossible to tell which part it belonged to from a distance.

The base of the mountain was covered with rubble, and tens of thousands of Mantis Tribe warriors were busy clearing it.

Piles of rubble accumulated mountain after mountain, truly obliterating an entire mountain peak.

There were also piles of metal debris, and piles of miscellaneous items. From a distance, one could see warriors going in and out of the warship wreckage, busily carrying things out and stacking them in different categories.

Landing at the foot of the mountain, I walked and observed along the way.

The Mantis warriors sorted things very carefully.

Space suits were not only divided into military uniforms and casual wear, but also into men's and women's clothing. Even underwear was meticulously separated.

Tables, chairs, hibernation pods, disabled and paralyzed intelligent robots…

The vast majority were daily necessities, all of which were dismantled and carried down.

There were also a large number of human remains. It was unknown what they had experienced, but the substances that made up their bodies had severely deteriorated, leaving only decayed bone fragments, all piled up haphazardly.

Banbu felt another wave of disappointment: this large piece of wreckage that had survived by chance belonged to the warship's leisure and living area, with nothing of value.

The living area was still far from the storage warehouse area, and it was estimated that the Mantis Kingdom would not make a fortune.

"They can even dismantle the seats fixed on the spaceship? There are experts here!" Banbu muttered to himself.

The seats were fixed with screws. Dismantling and transporting them required understanding how to unscrew the screws, which was a difficult task requiring intelligence for the insect warriors of this planet.

"Mountain Lord Banbu, King Qinggou Mantis has ordered that foreign warriors are not allowed to approach the large wreckage on the mountain range." County Princess Yuanbai said with some embarrassment, and then added:

"Let me take you around the foot of the mountain."

Banbu nodded his antennae and said, "County Princess Yuanbai, you don't need to be embarrassed. I understand."

"Mountain Lord Banbu, look at this!" County Princess Yuanbai was skilled in insect affairs. After a brief moment of embarrassment, she became enthusiastic again, beckoning and pointing her antennae to a pile of neutron gun wreckage not far away, saying with lingering fear, "These things contain evil power, but fortunately, most of them are damaged."

This pile of gun wreckage was heavily guarded, surrounded by 30 warriors, closely guarding it.

"Oh." Banbu responded and walked forward to check.

They were all standard neutron guns for warships. Most of the guns were torn apart by spatial forces, with only a small number remaining intact.

The magazines were piled on the other side. According to the transportation warship regulations, warriors were equipped with guns during their shifts, but the guns and bullets had to be kept separate.

"This is Lizhu Peak, a direct descendant of King Changsheng Roach of the Fire Roach Kingdom, Mountain Lord Banbu." County Princess Yuanbai introduced to the warriors guarding the guns, saying, "Mountain Lord Banbu is favored by the God of Nature and is born different. He has awakened both metal and fire abilities, and has mastered metal manipulation in advance! Mountain Lord Banbu is one of the descendants highly valued by King Changsheng Roach."

Hearing this, the Mantis warriors guarding immediately showed three points of awe when they looked at Banbu: strong strength, strong backing, not to be provoked.

County Princess Yuanbai continued, "Mountain Lord Banbu has agreed to stay and help. Please bring that thing out and let Mountain Lord Banbu take a look."

"Okay!"

A mountain lord-level Mantis warrior lying on the ground stood up, pawed the soil with his forelimbs, and dug out a well-preserved neutron gun from the ground, carefully carrying it and placing it in front of Banbu.

Banbu looked down: not only was the gun well-preserved, but the magazine was also loaded.

Mental power carefully scanned: the fingerprint lock was broken, but the spring was in the closed state, which did not affect its use, the safety was also in the open state, and there was miraculously some energy remaining in the magazine.

Damn it! This gun can be used!

Banbu put down his dagger and carefully picked up the neutron gun with his two forelimbs.

The surrounding warriors all retreated in panic upon seeing this.

"Be careful!" County Princess Yuanbai exclaimed, shouting, "Mountain Lord Banbu, danger!"

Judging by their reaction, they must have suffered a great loss!

"Oh, it seems to be very dangerous." Banbu raised the gun, thought for a while, pulled the safety off, pressed the button, and the magazine came off.

Banbu picked up the magazine and asked, "Are there any similar things?"

County Princess Yuanbai, seeing Banbu put down the gun, breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the pile of garbage, saying, "Yes, there are many."

Banbu scanned again with his mental power, although there were many magazines, they were all waste products without energy fluctuations.

Banbu pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they all here?"

County Princess Yuanbai said, "Everything we have found so far is here, under centralized management. Mountain Lord Banbu, this thing is too dangerous. It injured a mountain lord-level warrior of our tribe."

The latest novels are available on Six 9 Books Bar first!

Banbu thought for a while, put the magazine back on, pulled off the safety, and fired a shot into the air.

A bright white beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Banbu pulled down the safety, ejected the magazine, and pulled the trigger again towards the sky, but there was no response.

"You see, this is not dangerous."

"These two things are safe as long as they are not together."

Banbu pointed to the muzzle and said, "The danger comes from here, straight ahead."

After saying that, he put down the gun.

The mountain lord-level Mantis warrior immediately stepped forward, carefully picked it up, put it back into the pit, and buried it with soil, while he lay on it to guard it.

"Mountain Lord Banbu, it is worthy of mastering the ability to manipulate metal. He immediately understood the principle of evil power!" County Princess Yuanbai praised, saying, "We are asking you to help us find similar dangerous things… We will gather them together and try to destroy them completely."

Banbu shook his antennae and said, "These metals are too strong, it is impossible to destroy them. Separate them and throw them into the Jinjiang River to sink."

"We will take your advice." County Princess Yuanbai shook her antennae and beckoned, "Mountain Lord Banbu, come on, over there, take a look, there are good things."

… …

The good things that County Princess Yuanbai mentioned were personal lockers that had been dismantled and transported down.

2.6 meters high, 1.2 meters wide, and 0.6 meters thick, with a push-pull drawer mode, divided into five compartments, used to store personal items, mainly clothing.

The space on the spaceship was limited, and the warriors of each team lived in the same cabin and shared a locker.

They were made of cheap hydrogen gold, very thin, and relatively light.

More than 300 such cabinets were densely arranged on the open flat ground.

Banbu stepped forward to check: the fingerprint lock was damaged, the originally simple lock buckle had been forcibly destroyed by metal ability, the lock was completely scrapped, and the cabinet door could be opened with a light pull.

"How is it?" County Princess Yuanbai asked.

Banbu commented, "Get one back and put it in the cave to store valuable items. It's very convenient and moisture-proof."

County Princess Yuanbai said, "Mountain Lord Banbu, please help check the fragments. After it's done, in addition to a generous reward, we will also give you one of these things, how about it?"

Banbu looked around, piles of metal fragments stacked mountain after mountain, the workload was not small!

But then he thought: what dangerous and evil things could there be? Weapons like guns? I know them! A scan with mental power and I can check them out immediately, it's a very simple job. Pretend to work for a few days for a salary, make a good connection, that's not bad either.

"No problem." Banbu agreed readily, and then said, "However, I plan to go to the Misty Mountains to take a look first."

"No problem." County Princess Yuanbai also agreed readily, saying, "It's not far away, Mountain Lord Banbu, I'll take you there."
