Astral Cockroach

The lotus root remains in the second basement warehouse of Black Rock Island are well preserved and will not be moved for the time being. The cave entrance will be resealed.

King Rat and Jinzhu will stay behind to cut up the other "divine-grade" remains of the red pine, a God-given seed. They will excavate a warehouse on the mountaintop to store them.

Banbu, on the other hand, will set off immediately.

Two silk sacks are tied to its carapace with steel wire. One sack is specifically for lotus seeds, and the other contains lotus roots cut into pieces.

Day and night, it flies south, speeding southward, entering the plank road opened up in the early days of Chiwu Mountain, running along the plank road, heading east, and returning directly to Chiwu Mountain.

It is the height of summer, the peak season for the ripening of tropical fruits in the south, and the busiest season for Chiwu Mountain.

A good season.

Banbu ran at full speed, originally intending to pass through the Chiwu Mountain trading square silently, through the bamboo forest, through the longan tree sea, and leave Chiwu Mountain...

Passing through the trading square, unfortunately, it was discovered by Princess Hongfeng.

Even more unfortunately, Princess Leizhu was also in the square, discussing something with Princess Hongfeng.

"Princess Banbu!" Princess Hongfeng waved her antennae in greeting, inexplicably, she ran after him and called out eagerly, "Princess Banbu, please wait a moment, I have important matters to discuss with you."

"What is it? We'll talk later." Banbu accelerated its pace.

Princess Leizhu sensed something was wrong, and with a change of mind, she also ran to catch up, shouting, "Princess Banbu, are you in trouble in such a hurry? If there's any trouble, you can ask our Chiwu Mountain for help."

Damn it!

Banbu's heart sank, and it simply stopped.

Princess Hongfeng might be easy to fool, but Princess Leizhu was not so easily deceived.

"It's nothing, what trouble could there be." Banbu said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still things to be dealt with at Lizhu Peak, so I'm rushing back to take care of them, and then I'll come over."

"Princess Hongfeng, Princess Leizhu, if there's anything, let's discuss it carefully when I come over, goodbye for now!"

"Princess Banbu, wait!" Princess Hongfeng called out anxiously.

Princess Leizhu said dissatisfied, "Princess Banbu, are you hiding something from us at Chiwu Mountain? The number one mountain in the Southwest Region, would we steal your things?"

"..." Banbu cursed inwardly, stopped for the second time, turned its head, and asked, "Princess Hongfeng, what's the matter?"

Princess Hongfeng said, "Princess Banbu, it's just that, Walnut is traveling alone in the Dragon Bamboo Continent, and the Autumn Maple Cockroach King and I are not very relieved. Princess Banbu, calculating the time, the second batch of Dragon Bamboo fruit ripening season is not far away, the Autumn Maple Cockroach King asked me to ask you, can you sell two more portions, the price is negotiable."

"No..." Banbu's mind raced, and it temporarily changed its words, saying, "At most, I can sell one portion, the price remains the same."

"One portion? That's fine!" Princess Hongfeng agreed without hesitation, "No problem!"

Banbu asked, "Anything else?"

Princess Hongfeng said, "The Autumn Maple Cockroach King asked me to thank you on its behalf."

Banbu was speechless, saying, "It thanked me two years ago."

Princess Hongfeng said, "It's to thank you for your help to Princess Huabai. Huabai successfully advanced to Princess at the end of last winter. Yabai Mountain Range is located in a key position, and with a Princess stationed there, our Autumn Maple County is much more at ease."

Banbu deliberately left a portion of Tata fruit for Mountain Master Huabai, knowing that it couldn't afford it, so it was given for free. After all, they had been friends for decades, and it had received help from the other party in the past. Since it was within its ability, it would naturally help if it could.

"Mountain Master Huabai successfully advanced?" Banbu was slightly pleased, smiling and saying, "This is what should be done, what is there to thank. Is there anything else?"

"No." Princess Hongfeng shook her antennae, her eyes glancing at the silk sack on Banbu's carapace, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Banbu's performance was too obvious, it must have found something amazing and was rushing to send it back to Lizhu Peak.

Princess Leizhu said dissatisfied, "Princess Banbu, there's no need to guard against our Chiwu Mountain, right? The number one mountain in the Southwest Region, would we steal your things?"

"Haha, Princess Leizhu, you're thinking too much." Banbu laughed, and then said seriously, "I really have urgent matters."

Princess Leizhu also stared at the silk sack on its back, curiously asking, "What good things?"

"Hey, just some remains of God-given seeds." Banbu said casually, "Similar to your last harvest."

"Oh!" Princess Leizhu suddenly understood, her interest immediately halved, and she said leisurely, "Princess Banbu, I was just discussing with Princess Qiufeng, and I was planning to ask you to help, but it seems that there may be no chance to ask for your help."

Banbu asked, "What help?"

"Since we're forming an alliance, there's no need to hide it." Princess Leizhu said proudly, "Our Chiwu Mountain has found another 'divine-grade' God-given seed remains that are relatively well-preserved. The journey is too far, and we are considering transporting the things back as soon as possible, and we were planning to ask you for help."

Princess Leizhu lamented, "The Dragon Bamboo Continent is too big, and there are countless good things left behind, but what we lack are warriors who can freely travel within it!"

Banbu asked, "Princess Leizhu, how are you transporting them?"

Princess Leizhu asked back, "How else can we transport them? We chop them up, pack them in sacks, load them on our backs, and transport them out."

Banbu didn't waste any more words, activating its metal ability, metallizing the soil and rocks on the ground, reorganizing the metal, forming a small and exquisite 4-wheeled truck model, with two chains, hooking its toes to drag it.

"Manufacturing this kind of warehouse wheel truck for transportation along the plank road is very labor-saving."

Banbu also instructed, "Pay attention to safety when going downhill, change to pulling it from behind when going downhill."

Princess Leizhu stared at the wheel truck model for a while, and then personally used her claws to drag it on the flat ground of the square, thinking and deducing, understanding, and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Ingenious design! The wheels are round, saving power, and the warehouse can hold more things, so you can transport many more remains back in one trip."

Princess Hongfeng looked confused, stretched out her claws to fiddle with it, and asked, "Isn't it the same? Isn't it all very laborious?"

"You guys slowly study it, goodbye!" Banbu turned its head and ran wildly, running a distance, and then turned its head again and said, "Princess Leizhu, it's best for your Chiwu Mountain to send warriors to repair the plank road, the smoother the better, the wheel truck will be more labor-saving to travel on."

"Understood!"

"Goodbye!"

Watching Banbu quickly disappear into the distant undulating mountains, Princess Leizhu suddenly understood another problem: Lizhu Peak also found the remains of God-given seeds, and they must also transport them along the plank road, it was planning ahead!

"What urgent matters does Lizhu Peak have? Why is it suddenly so anxious? It can't be in a hurry to transport the remains, right?" Princess Hongfeng was puzzled, and sighed, "Princess Banbu's external structure is different from ordinary cockroach warriors, this running speed is not ordinary fast."

"It must have eaten a lot of origin power food that enhances speed, right? Running so fast... Could it not be the remains of God-given seeds?" Princess Leizhu also couldn't figure it out, and was a little regretful. If she had known, she would have boldly used her mental power to spy on it just now.

...

Banbu ran out of the Chiwu Mountain longan forest and immediately flapped its wings and soared into the air, speeding wildly. Along the way, unless its physical strength was insufficient, it would stop to hunt for food, and it would not take any extra rest.

It only took less than a month to successfully return to Lizhu Peak.

At this time, the dry season had just passed, and Lizhu Peak had just passed the busiest season, and could be idle for a month and a half. Next, only the autumn harvest season would be busy for a while.

Landing in the cave, unloading things.

This year is Banbu's 48th year, the year when the Sacred Bamboo fruit ripens. Duzhu was guarding next to the bamboo forest, feeling that Banbu had suddenly returned to the mountain in a hurry, and was very curious. It followed and flew up the mountain.

"Banbu, why are you back? What good things are in the bag?"

Duzhu stepped forward, curious, and couldn't help but feel its claws itching, tentatively trying to open it and take a look.

"Don't touch it!" Banbu shouted, "Very important things, need Baba's help to take a look, hurry up and bring it over."

"Uh..." Duzhu's antennae swayed, and it reluctantly retracted its claws, turned around and ran down the mountain, first going to the wind power station to check, Baba was not there, and then ran to the hydropower station to check.

Carrying nearly 100 kilograms of things, Banbu was really risking its life to rush back to Lizhu Peak in a short month.

Exhausted physically and mentally, only half its life was left.

The metal ability was activated, the cave drawer opened, a box of compressed biscuits and a can of energy drinks floated out, drinking and eating wildly, first replenishing the depleted physical strength.

The only leisurely Huoji on the entire Lizhu Peak noticed the movement, climbed up the mountain unhurriedly, and before it got close, it heard Banbu low roaring, "Huoji, go to the jungle and hunt some fresh food for me."

"Ah..." Huoji was inexplicable, saying, "Okay."

Turning around, it climbed down the mountain, followed by Banbu's angry roar and reprimand from behind, "Be quick!"

"Oh." Huoji stretched out its front claws, tidied its antennae, flapped its wings and soared into the air, speeding and diving, landing in the distance, disappearing into the vast jungle.

Hongdao, who was operating rice fields in the Tiedao Mountain Range north of Lizhu Peak, followed and went up the mountain.

"Banbu, are you okay? Why did you rush back early? What is in this bag?"
