Astral Cockroach

In short, the purpose of Banbu constructing a biogas digester is to create an environment suitable for the growth of biogas bacteria (including various anaerobic bacteria), accelerate plant degradation, remove useless substances, and leave biogas slurry and biogas residue rich in various nutrients needed for plant growth.

The most important aspects of a biogas digester are moisture retention and airtightness.

Banbu decided to excavate into the rock layer inside the mountain on the north side of the cliff, first digging horizontal passages inward, and after a certain distance, turning vertically downwards to dig a deep well with a narrow opening.

With developed forelimbs and flexible, sharp toes, cutting stones was relatively easy, but transporting the rubble was troublesome. Banbu used bags made of python skin, filled them with stones, and then dragged them with his forelimbs, walking on four legs, pulling them backwards.

Because the well opening was small, crawling upside down at the exit was quite laborious. His four legs couldn't stably cling to the stone wall, so he could only transport a limited amount each time. He had to transport the stones out after digging for a while, going up and down, back and forth, constantly running.

He quickly came up with a solution, using the epidermis of a plant called "hemp" to make hemp ropes. He punched holes in the snake skin bags and attached two hemp ropes to the bags. Each time, he dragged the hemp ropes out of the well opening, and then pulled the ropes up, which saved a lot of effort.

…

The lifeblood plants were scarce and young, with little demand for nutrients. Banbu wasn't in a hurry to complete the biogas digester, so he only came to dig for a while in the afternoon each day, considering it exercise to stretch his muscles and bones, and also to wait for the Iron Blade Peak patrol warriors to return, collect food, chat for a few words, and politely see them off.

The weather was not pleasant at dusk.

The sky was full of red clouds, a sign of rain.

After seeing Yun Tao off, Banbu lay at the entrance of the cave to enjoy his meal.

After nearly ten days of intermittent work, the biogas digester was nearing completion. Banbu planned to work overtime tonight after eating his fill, to finish it in one go, and then try to see if it was feasible.

"Is the mountain lord of Lizhu Peak present?"

It was vague, as if there was a divine thought calling out.

It was definitely not the mental power fluctuation of the Red Ant Tribe warriors!

Banbu was startled, his antennae stood up, swaying slowly, sensing the smell in the air.

He cautiously moved towards the cliff slope, looking down the mountain.

"Is the mountain lord of Lizhu Peak present?"

The calling divine thought came again.

Banbu locked onto the general direction, and then discovered the target, a huge insect-like creature was crawling along the mountain range, slowly moving closer to Lizhu Peak.

A spider!

Rainbow-colored body, the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe.

It was a traveling merchant!

Ma Yu traveled the continent with the traveling merchants of the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe.

Ma Yu had described the special Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe to Banbu in detail: They can only nurture one lifeblood seed in their lifetime. In order to obtain the original force food needed for growth, they embark on the path of trade. They can weave beautiful spider silk bags that extend the shelf life of food, which has become their greatest reliance for traveling to various insect kingdoms and selling goods from one place to another, a skill that other races cannot learn. Their lifeblood seeds repeatedly undergo incubation in the lifeblood sac, possessing the ability to switch between plant and seed forms at will. They are huge in size, with broad carapaces, capable of hauling large amounts of goods…

Various innate advantages have created a special race that specializes in traveling merchants.

Ma Yu didn't like the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe very much, evaluating them as: seemingly friendly and honest on the surface, but actually hypocritical and greedy profiteers.

No merchant is not cunning, Banbu could understand.

The Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe travels between various insect kingdoms on the continent, their behavior is disciplined and law-abiding, only trading, not doing evil, advocating harmony to generate wealth.

It's good that it's not an enemy attack.

Banbu breathed a sigh of relief, and tried his best to mobilize his mental power, answering: "Present!"

From a long distance away, a wisp of mental power lightly and quickly swept over Banbu's body, the huge Flame Spider said:

"Oh, Lizhu Peak really has a new mountain lord."

"Young mountain lord, hello. My name is Chonglou."

The other party was at least a mountain lord level existence, with a strong soul and thick mental power, easily capable of transmitting information over long distances with divine thought.

Banbu didn't have that ability, so he simply didn't answer, lying on the hillside, observing the other party's movements.

When he got closer to the foot of the mountain, Banbu saw clearly that Chonglou was followed by a small Flame Spider.

Getting even closer, Banbu also discovered that several smaller Flame Spiders were carried on the abdomens and backs of the two spiders, one large and one small.

The Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe has its own kingdom, but the territory is very small, only able to accommodate the elderly members of the tribe to retire, so they travel out to trade with their families.

Chonglou stopped at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Young mountain lord, may we come up the mountain?"

Banbu somewhat laboriously transmitted his divine thought down the mountain, answering: "Yes."

Traveling merchants are still very welcome, they always bring all kinds of exotic toys from other regions.

Chonglou, carrying the small spiders, climbed up the steep mountain slope with some difficulty, and immediately praised, "Black carapace, handsome little warrior, blessed by the True God of Nature, you will become the most outstanding warrior of the Cockroach Kingdom!"

"Thank you for the praise."

Banbu politely replied, feeling very uncomfortable. The sizes of the two parties were seriously disproportionate, and Banbu had to look up. The size of the Flame Spider is naturally much larger than that of the cockroach. Chonglou was several times larger than Iron Blade Mountain Lord, his abdomen and back were thick and strong, covered with colorful fluff, which was very beautiful.

Looking up, he could only see Chonglou's two colorful poisonous limbs. Banbu flapped his wings and took off, circling in the low sky, curiously looking around.

Not only were Chonglou's back covered with Flame Spiders of all sizes, but also a large number of colorful spider silk bags were tied on, the whole thing was like a heavy freight truck. These silk bags contained their trading capital.

Once they arrived, the other spiders, the smallest of which were ordinary plants, all honestly lay on Chonglou's back, while the slightly larger warrior spiders climbed to the ground, standing in a neat row.

Chonglou began to introduce them one by one, pointing to a Flame Spider with a leg span of nearly 1000 and saying, "This is Luoshi, a high-level warrior!"

Pointing to the other 5 Flame Spiders of different sizes, he continued to introduce, "This is Diyu, this is Fineleaf Fescue… this is Xiaoxuemiai, it is still a junior warrior."

Chonglou was a mountain lord level existence, Luoshi was a high-level warrior, the 4 small Flame Spiders were intermediate warriors, and the smallest one was a junior warrior. Even the smallest one had a leg span of nearly 100, much larger than Banbu.

Looking closely at the other ordinary Iridescent Flame Spiders, some of them had a leg span of about 30, and they were carrying even smaller juvenile spiders on their backs, the smallest of which had a leg span of only about 10, pitifully small.

It was indeed a large family, from large to small, clearly stratified.

Banbu said, "My name is Banbu. The previous mountain lord of Lizhu Peak unfortunately fell, and I have now taken over the management."

Chonglou's emotions were somewhat sad, and he said, "When I came, Mountain Lord Huabai had already informed me of this unfortunate news. I am a good friend of Mountain Lord Jinzhu of many years, and I am truly saddened by his unfortunate death."

Indeed, hypocritical.

Banbu lightly said, "I am also very sad."

Chonglou changed the subject and said, "Traveling north, we have seen a large number of plants that have withered and died due to drought, and we heard that there was a drought last year. The disaster situation at Lizhu Peak seems to be even more serious, with large areas of bamboo forest withered."

Banbu replied, "As you can see, most of the bamboo forest at Lizhu Peak has withered."

Chonglou asked, "Mountain Lord Banbu, do you plan to continue Mountain Lord Jinzhu's path and continue to cultivate bamboo species?"

Banbu said, "I currently have this plan, and I will make specific plans after becoming a high-level warrior."

"The terrain of the Jinping Mountains is complicated. We encountered no less than 10 fierce beasts on the way here. Bamboo is a wise choice." Chonglou turned slightly, looked at Banbu's lifeblood plants, and commented, "A Xun grass, this surprises me. Yingri fruit, Baiyu mulberry, and cypress tree are all mediocre choices. Lizhu is your best choice. The Iron Blade tree is a very good tree species."

Banbu remained unmoved.

Chonglou continued, "I also sensed the aura of a God-given Seed, it is on the south side of the mountain. Mountain Lord Banbu, you are an eight-year-old junior warrior, right?"

Banbu replied, "That's right."

Chonglou asked, "Mountain Lord Banbu, can you let me see your God-given Seed?"

Without thinking much, Banbu said, "Of course."
