Astral Cockroach

Banbu and Flame Cluster Banmao had been worried that King Red-backed Cockroach would ask for the Longevity Peach.

They were also puzzled as to why, with King Red-backed Cockroach's thick skin, it hadn't even uttered a peep.

Turns out, it hadn't changed its nature; it had obtained the purchasing rights for a Longevity Peach on its own.

But something still wasn't right!

Banbu stared at the silk bag carried by Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes, then glanced at King Red-backed Cockroach: Where did the primal stones come from? Did it abuse its power during the last Rainbow Mirage treasure hunt, embezzling the other warriors' gains? Or did it shamelessly borrow from other warriors without interest again?

Looking at Princess Yuli, her reaction was indifferent, indicating she probably already knew.

Looking at Princess Chui Rong, she was surprised and looked at King Red-backed Cockroach questioningly, awaiting an explanation.

Great Yellow Banyan was foolishly happy, cheering, "That's great, Queen Fire Lotus Bee can also advance to become a King!"

King Red-backed Cockroach was very dissatisfied and angry with Banbu and Princess Chui Rong's attitude, explaining, "The primal stones are from my territory's income in recent years, slowly accumulated."

Banbu and Princess Chui Rong were even less convinced: You just paid off your debts a few years ago, right?

King Red-backed Cockroach said, "After the last treasure hunt, many warriors in our tribe became wealthy. Red-backed County's pressure is much less, and I can reduce about 50,000 primal stone aids each year."

County Lord Great Leaf helped add, "Queen Fire Lotus Bee comes from Longevity County. The Longevity Fruit she purchased only requires 1 million primal stones."

"1 million?" Banbu was stunned, asking, "Why do I have to pay 2 million?

King Red-backed Cockroach said, "Queen Fire Lotus Bee is considered a direct descendant of Queen Brown Peach Bee. Queen Brown Peach Bee's position in Red-backed County is no less than King Fire Peach Cockroach and King Oil Peach Cockroach. I privately spent an extra 200,000 primal stones to confirm a purchase slot with King Fire Peach Cockroach, and then asked Queen Brown Peach Bee for help to finalize the price, it's that simple."

After King Red-backed Cockroach finished speaking, he urged, "Don't spread this matter around, especially you, County Lord Yuli, don't blab about everything. And you, Banbu, how many primal force crystals did you bring? When you go to Longevity County, remember to be discreet when purchasing things."

County Lord Yuli also asked, "Banbu, how many primal force crystals did you bring?"

"21." Banbu said dejectedly, asking, "Are there other ways to purchase the Longevity Peach? Can I purchase it for 1 million primal stones?"

Flame Cluster Banmao finally found an opportunity to use his talents, adding, "I heard that King Fire Peach Cockroach is responsible for selling the Longevity Peach? King Fire Peach Cockroach is quite approachable! We can privately give it 500,000 primal stones and ask it to be lenient… and make 500,000 in a blink!"

"It's not as simple as you think!" King Red-backed Cockroach said, "There are only 33 Longevity Peaches in total. Internally, there are only 10 fixed slots, and the competition is extremely fierce. Queen Fire Lotus Bee was able to secure one entirely because of Queen Brown Peach Bee, I can't do anything else."

County Lord Yuli said, "Banbu, you brought too many primal stones. How much stuff are you planning to buy? Just you and Flame Cluster Banmao? Can you carry it all back?"

Banbu asked, "Didn't you say there are wealthy warriors from all races and a large number of merchant groups participating in the birthday banquet? Aren't there other particularly valuable items?"

County Lord Yuli said, "Looking at the entire Myriad Race Continent, apart from the Longevity Peach, there are very few primal force fruits produced by other God-given species that can sell for more than 3,000 primal stones per fruit. What other good things do you want to buy?"

County Lord Great Leaf added, "Those that sell for more than 3,000 primal stones per fruit are often precious and rare, and in short supply. It's impossible for you to purchase them in large quantities."

"Great Leaf, go get 3,000 scattered primal stones for Banbu." King Red-backed Cockroach fanned his pulse wings, saying, "Don't waste time, let's set off early."

… …

The group set out.

King Red-backed Cockroach led Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes, with Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes carrying the silk bag.

County Lord Yuli led Great Fruit Oil Tea, and Princess Chui Rong led Great Yellow Banyan, with the two juniors carrying the items.

Banbu, on the other hand, felt he was suffering for his own choices, bringing a direct elder with him, and having to carry the items himself.

How embarrassing!

He couldn't help but think: Should I also bring a junior out to see the world next time?

But upon further reflection, that wouldn't work either. Li Bamboo Peak was full of crooked gourds and cracked dates, none of them presentable!

County Lord Yuli, being lively, couldn't resist after flying for a while and asked King Red-backed Cockroach, "King Red-backed Cockroach, does Banbu still have a chance to meet King Longevity Cockroach?"

King Red-backed Cockroach said, "King Fire Peach Cockroach has a very good impression of Banbu. I mentioned it last time, and King Fire Peach Cockroach's tone softened slightly, saying to talk about it later, and instructing me to go two days in advance."

"No wonder you're in such a hurry, it's probably a done deal then!" County Lord Yuli was first delighted, then inquired, "How many ordinary Longevity Peach seeds do you think Banbu can obtain?"

King Red-backed Cockroach said, "It's hard to say."

"King Longevity Cockroach doesn't seem to like clever insects. Banbu is too smart, I don't have high hopes for him." County Lord Yuli dropped a sentence, slowed down her flight speed, and approached Banbu at the back of the group.

"Banbu, when you see King Longevity Cockroach, don't show how smart you are, understand?"

"… …" Banbu was speechless.

King Longevity Cockroach isn't a fool, he wouldn't only reward dull and foolish juniors, right?

County Lord Yuli flicked her antennae, pointing at the Great Yellow Banyan flying not far away, saying, "Learn from it, pretend to be stupid."

Great Yellow Banyan was unconvinced, shouting, "I'm not pretending!"

Yes, you're not pretending, you're really stupid!

Princess Chui Rong's aura faltered, her fluttering pulse wings became chaotic, and she plunged towards the ground.

"Princess Chui Rong! What's wrong?" Great Yellow Banyan exclaimed, fluttering his pulse wings and desperately chasing after her.

"Hehe…" Flame Cluster Banmao couldn't hold back and laughed first.

"Haha…" County Lord Yuli laughed loudly.

Hahaha…

Banbu and Great Fruit Oil Tea followed suit.

Vast plains and forests, boundless emerald green, endless and limitless.

In the distance, a patch of loess yellow was particularly conspicuous.

"Ahead is the Peach Forest Sea of Longevity County!" County Lord Yuli reminded Banbu and Flame Cluster Banmao, who were visiting for the first time, saying, "Flying is not allowed within the forest sea, and you cannot walk around at will. Our Red Cockroach tribe belongs to the Fire Cockroach Kingdom and has a special passage boardwalk."

"Merchant groups coming to Red-backed County for trade have a special merchant road, and foreign warriors coming have a special boardwalk leading directly to the trading plaza."

King Red-backed Cockroach led the way, landing on a hardened stone square.

Ahead was the Peach Forest Sea, a flat avenue about 10 meters wide, also hardened with earth and stone abilities, leading straight into the distance.

In front of the boardwalk, two Flying Fire Cockroach tribe County Lord-level warriors led 50 Mountain Lord-level warriors guarding.

Banbu, with his dual perception enhancement of primal force and primal force patterns, clearly captured that a large number of high-level warriors were neatly distributed along the edge of the nearby Peach Forest Sea.

It was currently the peach fruit ripening season, and the peach forest was buzzing and roaring with bee swarms harvesting. Their tight defense was mainly to guard against certain ill-intentioned warriors breaking into the peach forest to steal seeds.

After more than a thousand years of selective breeding, every ordinary peach tree planted in the Peach Forest Sea of Longevity County was a high-quality tree species carefully selected. Picking a peach fruit at random, and using the seed to nurture a life seed, the annual yield would be far higher than tree species collected in the wild.

Longevity County's wealth lies in its geographical advantage, the entire county is rich in primal force, and secondly, it possesses a large number of high-quality tree species, the key being that it has both the Longevity Peach and Fire Oil Paulownia, two top-notch tree species.

King Red-backed Cockroach seemed to know the two County Lord-level warriors guarding the boardwalk, chatted a few words, and called out, "Let's go!"

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the boardwalk with Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes.

Entering another tribe's tree sea base was a very serious matter, so to avoid suspicion, they tried to walk in the middle of the road.

County Lord Yuli led Great Fruit Oil Tea, following behind King Red-backed Cockroach.

Princess Chui Rong led Great Yellow Banyan, following behind County Lord Yuli.

Banbu led Flame Cluster Banmao, bringing up the rear.

Previously flying high in the sky, judging from the overview, the tree sea was composed of squares of peach forests, with a total area of over a hundred kilometers square.

The journey was still very far.

After walking a distance, King Red-backed Cockroach began to speed up, leading everyone to jog.

After half a day, they stopped at a fork in the road.

King Red-backed Cockroach beckoned, calling out, "Banbu, you come with me."

County Lord Yuli turned around and explained to Flame Cluster Banmao, who was visiting for the first time, "This boardwalk leads to the Longevity Mountains, to pay respects to King Longevity Cockroach and King Fire Peach Cockroach. However, we have to take this one, leading to the trading plaza."

Three thousand primal stones were packed in a separate python skin bag. Banbu took it out and handed it to Flame Cluster Banmao, urging, "You go and take a look first, mainly buy primal force food that can strengthen your physique, don't think it's too expensive, the more varieties the better, buy a moderate amount of each."
