Astral Cockroach

As Li Bamboo Peak developed and grew, the number of worries increased, but so did the good news, especially every April, and especially this year, with constant good news from every mountain.

Starting in mid-April, the young warriors born this year on each mountain peak began to advance to L4 level elementary warriors, choosing their favorite plants.

Among them, a warrior from Bitao Peak liked bamboo and named it "Sword Leaf Rigid Bamboo," or more simply, "Sword Bamboo."

In addition, the number of warriors in the Iron Saber Mountains exceeded 100, and Iron Saber County Princess was no longer so strict with the young warriors. Moreover, Banbu had long planned ahead, often gifting high-quality bamboo seeds, so almost every warrior's territory in the Iron Saber Mountains had several clumps of bamboo-type lifeblood plants. This year, it finally paid off, and a young warrior who loved bamboo appeared. Banbu, upon hearing the news, went to chat with her, and Iron Saber County Princess agreed to send her to settle on Li Bamboo Peak.

This young warrior named it "Malachite Bamboo," or simply "Green Bamboo."

In the bamboo sea of Li Bamboo Peak, there are already quite a few young warriors who like bamboo.

Apart from the main peak, Li Bamboo Peak, a Kong Bamboo lives in the Giant Dragon Bamboo Forest, and the five warriors of Fire Bamboo Mountain have long been at full capacity. In recent years, two young warriors who liked bamboo were born and sent to Holy Sound Mountain, which is also at full capacity with five warriors.

With two more young warriors this year, we can consider opening a third bamboo sea mountain peak. An increase in the number of mountain peaks means an expansion of the bamboo sea's scale.

This time, Banbu chose to expand to the southeast, which is a bit far, 19 kilometers due east of Fire Bamboo Mountain, and even further from Li Bamboo Peak, about 30 kilometers to the southeast.

It's an isolated mountain peak, named "Sword Bamboo Mountain." The mountain is large in scale, moderate in height, about 700 meters, and also has two small ridges. The natural Primal Force is not ideal, slightly inferior to Fire Bamboo Mountain, but the advantage is that the mountain has a large capacity, planned to house 10 warriors, and there is still a large area of open space on the mountain for use as a nursery and breeding base.

This winter, warriors can be gathered to jointly develop the mountain peak, and next spring, Sword Bamboo and Green Bamboo can go to choose a mountain cave to live in and sow lifeblood plants.

In the future, when there are more warriors, a swarm of bees can be separated from Cattail to settle on Sword Bamboo Peak, transferring the breeding work related to Golden Thread Bamboo, Small Fire Bamboo, and Ghost Thread Bamboo. Li Bamboo Peak will completely abandon the management and breeding of these three bamboo species.

...

This year, Turtle Shell Peak unexpectedly produced a God-given Seed, naturally born with a very low probability.

The entire mountain peak only has Turtle Shell Tendon Vine and Turtle Shell Dragon Vine planting Turtle Shell Vine, a special plant from the Western Regions of the Dragon Bamboo Continent. These two guys are not very diligent and not very smart, and without Banbu's support, they have only planted a very small area.

Banbu carefully checked and confirmed that it was the blessing of the Natural True God, an explosion of luck, an unexpected birth.

The seeds will mature in the autumn and can be handed over to Turtle Shell Tendon Vine for nurturing. With its own income, it will not be necessary for Li Bamboo Peak to spend too much resources to help it advance to County Princess level.

...

There is also better news from Qinggang Mountain Range. The various oak tree seeds that Banbu brought back from the Red Firmament Continent last time, they have been sown, and this year is their first flowering, and a God-given Seed has also appeared, and it is preliminarily determined to enhance the ability of fire elements.

Qinggang seems to have a special perception like a cat, feeling that a derivative species of red oak is extraordinary. During the flowering season, he led the mountain warriors to guard the forest overnight, confirming that it triggered the "stars" in the sky, belonging to a God-given reward.

Banbu speculated that it should be because the natural environment of the Southern Hemisphere is superior, and the tree species still maintain a benign evolutionary process of survival of the fittest in the wild environment.

This seed is difficult to handle.

Qinggang, the mountain master of Qinggang Peak, already has a God-given Seed himself, so there is not much need to nurture a second one.

After discussing for several days, this God-given Seed was "borrowed" by Bitao Peak and handed over to Bitao for nurturing into a lifeblood plant. In the future, if the tree sea of Bitao Peak obtains a peach tree-type God-given Seed, one must be returned to Qinggang Peak.

In this way, of the several mountain peaks planning to open up a tree sea, only Brown Chestnut is missing a high-quality God-given Seed.

In addition, there is also the Chinese Torreya of Xiangfei Peak and the Camellia of Yunwu Peak, each needing one. If possible, a God-given Seed should also be obtained for the small ant king, Wedge Thorn.

In recent years, the number of mountain warriors has increased, and there is leisure time every winter. Some warriors will enter the wild jungle to find God-given Seeds. A small warrior from the Myriad Nations Continent found one. However, according to tribal tradition, God-given Seeds are blessed by the Natural True God, and whoever finds it owns it. Banbu, as the mountain master, has no say and the small warrior nurtures it himself.

...

A year destined to be full of harvest.

The sun in May is the strongest, and it is most comfortable to bask in. It is the season when farm work is relatively light, and Snow Peak Golden Orchid and various peach fruits mature one after another, sent to the top of the mountain to be iced and then brought down for consumption, making for a comfortable hot summer.

However, there is another rather troublesome problem.

In recent years, after the Fire Oil Tea God-given Seed has been strengthened with plant gene fluid and various remains, the scale of the tree has increased, and the number of fruits and the quality of the fruit have improved, and the fruit period has been extended by one month, maturing only in May.

For 1 tea fruit, Banbu pays the Fire Oil Tea Tree Spirit 1 Primal Stone. Over the decades, nearly 500,000 Primal Stones have been accumulated unknowingly.

Ordinary Primal Stones, in standard medium-sized silk bags, 10,000 stones are 1 bag, which takes up a lot of space, presses down on the soil, which is not conducive to root growth, and also affects loosening the soil and irrigation, and Datou has complained about it more than once.

Banbu decided to solve the problem and came to the door with a box of Primal Force Crystals.

"Fire Oil Tea!"

"Banbu, where are my Primal Stones this year?"

Banbu raised the metal box and asked, "Primal Force Crystals, do you recognize them?"

"Of course I recognize them," Fire Oil Tea replied, a little dissatisfied, and said, "I'm not stupid."

"It's good that you recognize them," Banbu opened the metal box, carefully picked up a Primal Force Crystal, and said, "Fire Oil Tea, look, is it pretty?"

Fire Oil Tea said, "Pretty!"

Banbu asked, "Do you want it?"

"You can't give it to me for no reason," Fire Oil Tea said.

"..." Banbu said, "Fire Oil Tea, how about I exchange Primal Force Crystals for your Primal Stones?"

"Not good," Fire Oil Tea asked, "Where's Oil Tea? Why hasn't it come back yet?"

"It's at Yunwu Peak, it will come back to see you when it has time."

The Fire Oil Tea Tree Spirit is gradually becoming smarter and harder to fool. Banbu sighed inwardly and asked, "Fire Oil Tea, why don't you want to exchange?"

"Your Li Bamboo Peak is not safe," Fire Oil Tea analyzed seriously, "Primal Force Crystals are too small, they will be snatched away all at once. Ordinary Primal Stones are safer, there are many of them and they are heavy. When they are placed together, no one can take them away."

Who said Li Bamboo Peak is not safe? How is Li Bamboo Peak not safe?

Banbu couldn't understand the inexplicable sense of crisis of the ignorant Tree Spirit. His thoughts turned and he had an idea: Metal ability activated, earth and stone formed a thick steel cable.

Banbu picked up the Primal Stones in the metal box one by one and asked, "Fire Oil Tea, look, 5, right?"

Fire Oil Tea replied, "Right, 500,000 Primal Stones," looking a little tempted.

Banbu emptied the other Primal Force Crystals in the box, put these 5 back in, used his metal ability to seal the box, and tied it to the trunk of the Fire Oil Tea tree with a steel cable.

"Fire Oil Tea, look, isn't this okay? No one can take it away except me."

"Banbu, you want to snatch my Primal Stones!"

Fire Oil Tea is getting richer and richer, and is particularly sensitive to the word "snatch," and immediately became furious.

"I..." Banbu was about to explain when a wave of Primal Force came from afar.

Red Ant Tribe warrior, a very familiar Primal Force nature.

Oil Pear County Princess was rushing over, circling in the low sky, landed next to the Fire Oil Tea God-given Seed, looked at the ants busy harvesting on the tree, and sighed, "This Oil Tea God-given Seed is growing more and more vigorously, the yield must be over ten thousand by now, right?"

"Huh!" Oil Pear County Princess looked at the tree.

It's fine to have bags of Primal Stones, but there's also a Primal Force Crystal storage box tied to the tree, and there are 18 Primal Force Crystals on the ground.

"Banbu, what are you doing? Showing off your wealth to the Tree Spirit?"

"Banbu! Why is this old guy here again! Drive him away quickly!" Fire Oil Tea Tree Spirit shouted irritably.

"No... sigh..." Banbu waved his antennae and said, "Oil Pear County Princess, please wait a moment, let me solve the Tree Spirit's problem first."
