Astral Cockroach

Iron Blade Mountain Master descended upon Li Bamboo Peak with Cliff Cypress, and the first thing he saw was the corpse of the Cloud Leopard Warrior, which immediately shocked him. His vast mental power swept out, enveloping the corpse as he carefully examined it.

"Spot, was your territory attacked?!"

"Yes," Spot replied.

Iron Blade Mountain Master finished examining the corpse, and said with doubt: "It was grabbed into the high sky and fell to the ground to its death. Wind Chime doesn't have this kind of power."

Wind Chime didn't have this power, and neither did Flame Cluster Spot Grass nor Spot.

Spot said: "Flower Cypress Mountain Master has been lurking near Li Bamboo Peak. It was the one who killed this Cloud Leopard Warrior."

Cliff Cypress stepped forward, carefully examined the corpse, and said: "Iron Blade Mountain Master, judging from the size of the corpse, I'm afraid it was the leader of that group of Cloud Leopard Warriors."

Iron Blade Mountain Master continued to ask Spot: "How many Cloud Leopard Warriors attacked your territory last night?"

Spot replied: "Two."

Iron Blade Mountain Master asked: "What about the other one?"

Spot replied: "Flame Cluster Spot Grass and Wind Chime couldn't stop it, so it ran away."

"Ran away…" Iron Blade Mountain Master's tense emotions immediately relaxed upon hearing this.

In order to verify Spot's words, Flame Cluster Spot Grass flapped its wings and said: "Iron Blade Mountain Master, look, I'm injured. I collided head-on with that big guy twice. My wing membrane was torn through, and there's even a crack in my chest armor."

Iron Blade Mountain Master glanced at Flame Cluster Spot Grass's injuries, confirmed that there was no serious problem, and praised: "Flame Cluster Spot Grass, you are very brave. You have grown into a qualified Red Ant Tribe warrior. Ma Yu and I are both proud of you. But, you remember, don't fight head-on with this kind of big guy again next time, it's very dangerous, understand?"

Flame Cluster Spot Grass was happy and proud, and replied: "Understood."

Iron Blade Mountain Master then looked at Wind Chime.

Wind Chime said慌张: "I… I wasn't injured. That Cloud Leopard Warrior who escaped was small, I knocked it over…"

Iron Blade Mountain Master praised: "Wind Chime, very good, you are also an excellent warrior! I am very pleased with your bravery."

Wind Chime lowered its head, drooping its antennae, and dared not answer.

Iron Blade Mountain Master said: "Flame Cluster Spot Grass, Wind Chime, you both did very well. Go to Iron Blade Peak later and pick a batch of Origin Power Fruits in my territory. Especially Flame Cluster Spot Grass, eat more, the injuries on your body will heal during molting and growth."

Hearing Iron Blade Mountain Master praise Wind Chime, Flame Cluster Spot Grass, who was somewhat indignant, immediately became happy when he heard that there was a reward to be had.

Being happy, Flame Cluster Spot Grass forgot Spot's previous instructions and said: "Originally, that petite Cloud Leopard Warrior wouldn't have been able to escape either…"

Spot hurriedly interjected: "It's better that it ran away!"

"Ah?" Flame Cluster Spot Grass turned its head and looked at Spot in confusion.

"That's right, it's best that it ran away." Iron Blade Mountain Master expressed his approval.

Flame Cluster Spot Grass turned its head again to look at Iron Blade Mountain Master and asked: "Why?"

Wind Chime was also confused, but at this time, it finally woke up: Last night, it was indeed Spot who let that Cloud Leopard escape.

It was Spot's sudden interference that delayed the best interception opportunity, and that Cloud Leopard Warrior successfully escaped.

Why? Wind Chime also looked at Iron Blade Mountain Master in confusion.

Iron Blade Mountain Master stretched out his antennae, patted the corpse, and said: "This was killed by Flower Cypress Mountain Master. The Cloud Leopard Warrior who escaped can distinguish between the Red Ant Tribe and the Black and White Flower Ant Tribe, right?"

"Of course."

"Yes."

"That's right."

Flame Cluster Spot Grass, Cliff Cypress, and Wind Chime all nodded their antennae in agreement.

The difference in wisdom was immediately apparent. Flame Cluster Spot Grass and Wind Chime were still unaware, but Cliff Cypress seemed to have thought of something, straightening its antennae and releasing an emotion of schadenfreude.

Iron Blade Mountain Master said: "Obviously, the Cloud Leopard attack on Pútao Territory this time was to lure me away. Their main target is Li Bamboo Peak, the God-given Seed grass seeds that are about to mature in Spot's territory!"

"The three Cloud Leopards who attacked Pútao Territory escaped, that's a hidden danger."

"If the two Cloud Leopard Warriors who attacked Spot's territory were killed, think about it, what would the three escaped Cloud Leopard Warriors do?"

"They will avenge their lost leader and companions! They are hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act, and we can't protect Spot at all times. In that case, we will be very passive, and Spot will be very dangerous. In serious cases, they may even launch a retaliatory attack on Iron Blade Mountain."

"It's good that the leader died, but one escaped. The one who escaped recognizes Flower Cypress Mountain Master, and the remaining 4 Cloud Leopard Warriors will most likely launch a retaliatory attack on Cliff Cypress Mountain, rather than Li Bamboo Peak, let alone our Iron Blade Mountain."

Simple reasoning, explained in detail.

Flame Cluster Spot Grass and Wind Chime suddenly understood after hearing this.

Wind Chime turned to look at Spot, and the whole bug felt a little uneasy: Spot must have considered the consequences at the first moment, so he let himself let go of that Cloud Leopard Warrior.

A mid-level warrior who has been born for less than two years, how could he be so smart? It's unreasonable! So smart that it makes the bug feel scared.

Cliff Cypress asked in confusion: "How did Flower Cypress Mountain Master know that those Cloud Leopards would attack Li Bamboo Peak?"

Spot explained: "It has been to Li Bamboo Peak and saw my God-given Seed. At that time, it should have estimated the approximate time when the grass seeds would mature. Guessing that the Cloud Leopards would not be able to resist the temptation of the God-given Seed, it lurked nearby in advance to lie in wait."

"Cunning Flower Cypress Mountain Master!" Iron Blade Mountain Master said with hatred, and then laughed heartily: "Haha, it is cunning, but this time it was too cunning and caused a big trouble for its Cliff Cypress Mountain."

Cliff Cypress said: "The remaining 4 Cloud Leopards have not been born for a long time, not only is their combat power weak, but their wisdom must also be inferior to the one who died. It is very likely that Flower Cypress Mountain Master will instead ambush and kill them."

"That's the business of the Black and White Flower Ant Tribe, it has nothing to do with us." Iron Blade Mountain Master said with some schadenfreude, waved his antennae, pointed to the corpse, and said: "Cliff Cypress, go to Red Cliff County and take the corpse there, hand it over to County Master Red Cliff, and report the details of last night."

"I will continue to stay at Li Bamboo Peak for a few more days and return to Iron Blade Peak after the storm has passed. Flame Cluster Spot Grass, Wind Chime, you two go back."

"Okay." Flame Cluster Spot Grass cheered and took the lead in flapping its wings and leaving.

Cliff Cypress and Wind Chime followed suit and spread their wings to leave.

…

Li Bamboo Peak returned to calm.

Iron Blade Mountain was no longer attacked.

Five days later, Iron Blade Mountain Master left.

Losing their leader, the remaining 4 Cloud Leopard Warriors were indeed as Cliff Cypress said, lacking in wisdom, and rushed to Cliff Cypress Mountain to take revenge, resulting in them being ambushed by the helpers invited by Flower Cypress Mountain Master.

The number of helpers invited by Flower Cypress Mountain Master was also insufficient, and only two were killed, and the other two escaped by chance.

Things became even more troublesome. A blood feud had already been formed. The helpers that Flower Cypress Mountain Master invited from other mountains could not stay forever. The two surviving Cloud Leopard Warriors could attack the solitary Black and White Flower Ant Tribe warriors in Cliff Cypress Mountain at any time.

As long as the two Cloud Leopard Warriors were not eliminated, Cliff Cypress Mountain would not be peaceful for a day.

…

Spot lived a very comfortable life, eating all the grass seeds condensed by the God-given Seed. The grass seeds of ordinary Xun grass followed suit and matured, and then spent a few more days of nourishing days.

Although the Origin Power Fruits produced in Iron Blade Mountain Master's territory were many, they were still not enough. Hei Sang, who had been relying on its territory for food and drink, was a burden that could not be ignored. As a result, Flame Cluster Spot Grass was not at all subtle when receiving the reward, tore a snakeskin bag, ate and drank for two days, and ran away with a full bag before leaving.

The consequence of this was that Iron Blade Mountain Master suddenly became tight-fisted, and the assistance provided to Spot was greatly reduced.

Spot honestly stayed at Li Bamboo Peak for a period of time, and couldn't help but go to the swamp for the fourth time to absorb the mental power overflowing from the metal core.
