Astral Cockroach

A mountain range advancing to a county is a once-in-a-lifetime event and a joyous occasion symbolizing the prosperity of the race.

The Red Ant Tribe, the mountain lords of each mountain range, and the county lords of each county will certainly go to congratulate.

It's a rare and lively grand gathering.

Unfortunately, the Bamboo Peak has too few warriors and too many divinely bestowed seeds, so they can't afford to be careless. Banbu couldn't bring many warriors to join in the fun.

Iron Saber Mountain Range now has 4 warriors at the mountain lord level. Iron Saber Mountain Lord brought two younger generations, Heisang and Tiehua.

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed has been traveling around the Fire Ant Kingdom, helping Banbu sell and purchase primal force food. If the plan goes smoothly, it will need its help with more communication matters starting next year. It's necessary to cultivate relationships with others.

Incidentally, Banbu also called Flame Cluster Spotted Reed to join.

They headed southeast, entered the Banyan Mountain Range, flew along the mountain range, and arrived directly at Hanging Banyan Peak.

…

Gifts were presented on the mountain.

County Lord Hanging Banyan was lying at the entrance of the cave, waiting to receive gifts.

An ant king named Moving commanded the ant colony to help transport the gifts.

The congratulatory gifts were all within everyone's means.

Iron Saber Mountain Lord brought a bag each of Iron Saber Fruit and Mountain Walnut, produced in his territory.

The gift was worth less than 100 primal stones.

County Lord Hanging Banyan happily accepted it with a smile.

Every mountain lord or county lord who came to participate in the celebration would bring one or two clever juniors to broaden their horizons. The mountain peak was too small to accommodate too many warriors, so they were invited to rest in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and the celebration would also be held there.

Banbu was relatively simple, only carrying a spider silk bag, which looked like it only had a little bit of stuff at the bottom.

Opening it, it was a metal box that originally contained ultra-high-quality primal force food. The box was filled with hay, and hidden inside was a primal force crystal.

County Lord Hanging Banyan was overjoyed when she saw it and teased, "Banbu, everyone says you're stingy, but I think you're very generous."

"Who says I'm stingy?" Banbu retorted, "I've been trying my best to take care of the warriors of other mountain ranges these years."

"The merchants say you're stingy, but the clansmen don't say that." County Lord Hanging Banyan had sharp eyes and glanced at the spider silk bag, saying, "You have something else in your bag? What are you waiting for? Take it out quickly."

"This is not a congratulatory gift, this is a sample for King Red Armor Ant to see." Banbu asked, "Is King Red Armor Ant at the top of the mountain?"

"What sample?" County Lord Hanging Banyan said, "King Red Armor Ant also asked about you when he came. He's waiting for you to come over to discuss something."

Banbu directly flapped his wings and ascended into the air, saying, "Then I'll go find him."

…

The entire Red Ant Tribe had only 20 county lord-level warriors at most. Eight of them came to participate in the ceremony and were crowded at the top of Hanging Banyan Peak.

Banbu circled around and couldn't find a place to land. In the end, he had to land on a slope.

King Red Armor Ant chuckled and said, "Hanging Banyan Peak has enough primal force richness, but it's a bit small. Banbu, your Bamboo Peak is still spacious!"

Banbu complained, "What are you all doing crowded on the mountain?"

King Red Armor Ant said, "Most of those at the foot of the mountain are juniors. It's rare to get together to talk and exchange ideas, celebrate and be happy. If we go down, they won't dare to speak, which would be a disappointment."

You guys have some self-awareness.

Banbu slandered inwardly and asked, "King Red Armor Ant, is County Lord Youli still guarding outside the Misty Mountains?"

"I was just planning to discuss this matter with you." King Red Armor Ant said solemnly, "Banbu, there are clever foreign warriors who are mining magnetite and imitating to create compasses."

Banbu asked, "So what? The magnetic field inside the Illusionary Color Maze is interfered with. They haven't learned to calculate the direction, have they?"

"It's not that powerful." King Red Armor Ant said, "Compasses are being manufactured in large quantities. Clever warriors have come up with a clumsy method, using wooden stakes and spider silk to build boardwalks, heading straight east, crossing the mountains, and starting to try to probe into the depths of the Illusionary Color Maze."

"Compasses are being mass-produced and sold publicly. The spider silk increases every year, and various kingdoms are recruiting a large number of warriors to enter the mountains to search for treasures. Our Red Ant Tribe can't lag behind. We also follow this method, build boardwalks, and increase the investment of warriors."

"Banbu, now your advantage of freely entering and exiting the depths of the Illusionary Color Maze is not so obvious. I'm afraid that in another year or two, the treasures that fell into the Misty Mountains will be picked up by various tribes. If possible, hurry up."

Banbu discovered that the ant tribe used larvae to spin silk and lay boardwalks to penetrate deep into the Illusionary Color Maze. He guessed that this would happen sooner or later, so he wasn't surprised and said, "Last year, I commissioned Iron Saber Mountain Lord to purchase enough spider silk from the merchants. Is there enough spider silk for our Red Ant Tribe?"

King Red Armor Ant said, "I also purchased a large amount of spider silk from the merchants last year. I have enough stockpiled."

Banbu said, "The biggest treasure in the Misty Mountains has already been found by me, and I'm just waiting to move it… Forget it, let's not wait until spring. Let's just take action directly after the celebration."

Banbu added, "The things are precious and large in quantity. King Red Armor Ant, I'm afraid you need to go and guard it personally to be safe."

King Red Armor Ant asked, "Has your injury healed?"

Banbu said, "It's been healed for a while."

"That's good, then don't delay it." King Red Armor Ant said, "After the celebration, we will immediately organize warriors and start the action, first move back the wreckage of that divinely bestowed seed. On the way, I will personally lead 5 county lord warriors to escort it."

Banbu said, "That would be the best."

King Red Armor Ant said, "The things that are moved out will be divided equally, half for Bamboo Peak and half for the participating warriors."

"Half and half?!" Banbu said dissatisfied, "You guys are too black, aren't you? It's just helping to move it. Can't I pay wages?"

"Pay wages?" King Red Armor Ant sneered, "How to pay? 2 primal stones a day for each high-level warrior?"

Banbu said, "I can give more."

A warrior named County Lord Doying couldn't help but say, "Mountain Lord Banbu, this matter requires the participation of more than 1,000 warriors, and it will last for several months. Everyone will abandon the management of their territories and run back and forth. You can't take all the benefits alone, can you?"

Banbu said, "I found the things, and I opened the hatch at the risk of my primal force patterns shattering and my life. The subsequent transportation also requires me to exert the greatest effort… Equal division is unfair."

King Red Armor Ant asked, "Banbu, how do you think it should be divided?"

Banbu said, "Three-seven, I want 70%, and the participating warriors get 30%."

…

After a round of bargaining, it was finally decided that Banbu would take 60%, and the participating warriors would take 40%. The rewards for King Red Armor Ant and the county lords participating in this matter would be calculated separately.

After the discussion, everyone was not very satisfied, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

King Red Armor Ant waved his antennae and dismissed him, saying, "There's no place for you on the mountain, go down the mountain and play by yourself. Your Bamboo Peak is full of divinely bestowed seeds, and you have so many primal stones that you can't spend them all. You must be very popular."

"King Red Armor Ant, don't be angry." Banbu's mood changed, and he became happy again, raised the spider silk bag, and said, "I have something else to discuss with you."

King Red Armor Ant asked, "What is it? Speak directly."

Banbu opened the spider silk bag, took out a delicate metal bottle, shook it, and said simply, "This year's freshly produced Dark Bamboo Rice, which strengthens the ability to sense primal force."

"Sensing ability? Primal force sensing?" King Red Armor Ant thought for a moment, then paused for two seconds, then suddenly realized the value of Dark Bamboo Rice, waved his antennae, and said, "Bring it here, let me try it."

Banbu very flamboyantly used his metal manipulation ability, and the metal bottle floated gently to King Red Armor Ant.
