Astral Cockroach

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed was not polite at all, expressing satisfaction that the younger generation born in its territory knew to respect their elders after getting rich, and was very happy.

Peach was much more polite. The three Fire Oil Tung trees from the territory of Princess Red Jian were of great help to its growth and evolution, and it was overjoyed, and in turn, gifted Spotted Reed many cypress seeds produced in its own territory.

… …

When Banbu was human, he also had many clansmen and friends. Most clansmen were in competition, and friends were friends in terms of interests, friends who could only be trusted under specific conditions.

As a genius of the Hoss family, he was promoted to the planetary level at the age of one hundred. According to human tradition, Banbu should have married and had offspring before joining the army to ensure the inheritance of excellent genes. But Banbu did not marry. The reason is very simple, because he could not be sure whether the women who approached him were for his power, money, fame, or other things.

Human feelings are often artificial, and worldly customs are often hypocritical. How can one trust them?

The human Banbu dared not trust easily.

Reborn as a cockroach, surviving in this world, everything was brand new. The small tribe with few members was not as complicated as human society, and there were not so many troubles.

The Red Cockroach tribe was united. Every warrior in the Iron Saber Mountain Range could be trusted. They might be jealous that Banbu had two God-given seeds, but they would never harm their clansmen.

The concept of race was strong, and the members of the same tribe were very united. When warriors of the same mountain range encountered danger, other warriors would help without compensation. If a mountain range of the same tribe encountered a crisis, warriors from other mountain ranges would rush to help.

The most valuable thing was that there could be true friends in this world, the kind who could trust each other, such as Big Head and Big Bear.

They had no inherited memories, so Banbu ran over every day tirelessly and taught them patiently.

Banbu himself also liked this way of learning while walking, looking for God-given seeds while teaching knowledge.

Walking through the mountains, walking through the hills, walking through the swamps, while Big Bear and Big Head were learning knowledge, Banbu himself also saw the plants and animals in various inherited memories with his own eyes, and observed them carefully.

He went out early and returned late every day, enjoying it.

Banbu could feel that gradually, Big Bear and Big Head's last trace of vigilance towards him disappeared, and they even developed a trace of dependence.

… …

A cold current from the north swept through, bringing a cold rain that lasted for two days and two nights.

The cold winter officially arrived.

Big Head was unwilling to leave the nest, because the worker ants could not withstand the severe cold. One by one, they were listless and had to hide in the warm underground ant nest to survive the winter safely.

Banbu also often felt drowsy and tired, which became more and more frequent and intense, a sign that he was about to break through and evolve. Because a God-given seed was conceived in his life sac, the process became long.

Banbu no longer went out, but stayed on the mountain honestly, eating enough original energy food every day and practicing his cultivation techniques diligently.

In late autumn, the traces of birds and beasts could still be faintly seen, but once winter came, they were basically extinct. Standing on the mountain, one could occasionally hear the chirping of birds that were not afraid of the severe cold.

The ordinary cockroaches of Lizhu Peak no longer moved, hiding in the haystack to hibernate.

The Xun Grass God-given Seed completely lost its response. If there was no soul connection between the two, Banbu would have mistakenly thought it was frozen to death.

After all, its essence was Xun Grass, a herbaceous plant that would wither and die in the cold winter. Even if it evolved into a God-given Seed, it was still difficult to escape the natural laws of life.

The situation of Banbu's other ordinary life seeds was not much better. They basically stopped growing, shivering in the cold wind.

The only one that seemed lively was the Lizhu Life Seed. It no longer grew, but it did not stop absorbing original energy. It did not need it for itself, but fed it all back to Banbu, helping Banbu grow.

The Three Friends of Winter: Pine, Bamboo, and Plum.

Banbu suddenly realized that bamboo also had the talent and specialty of being cold-resistant.

… …

After being drowsy for half a month, he finally fell asleep.

Considering that he was pregnant with a God-given seed, the time for this sleep evolution would be extended for a long time, so Banbu invited Flame Cluster Spotted Reed and Peach to help.

According to the old rules, they would come over every night to help patrol the territory.

… …

Waking up from sleep, a long-lost weakness and exhaustion.

Banbu moved with difficulty, taking out the dried meat stored in the nest.

"Banbu, you're finally awake?"

Was that Wind Chime's divine sense? Strange!

Banbu dragged the dried meat out of the secret room, and sure enough, it was Wind Chime.

"Wind Chime, why is it you?"

Wind Chime helped slice the dried meat and placed it in front of Banbu, saying with some dissatisfaction: "Banbu, I will be moving to Lizhu Peak soon. You should ask me for help with this kind of thing."

Wind Chime was eccentric, taciturn, and Banbu could never communicate with it. When chatting, they would fall into an awkward situation where they had nothing to say after three or five sentences, and their relationship would naturally not become close.

Last time, the Fire Oil Tung fruit was given to Flame Cluster Spotted Reed and Peach, but not to Wind Chime, which was sandwiched between them.

Banbu was too embarrassed to ask Wind Chime for help, and was too embarrassed to argue at this time, pretending to be extremely weak and burying his head in eating.

Seeing this, Wind Chime quickly introduced the situation, saying: "Flame Cluster Spotted Reed has also fallen asleep to grow, so I am here to replace it."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

"Banbu, do you know? You slept for a full 24 days this time. In the last ten days or so, your aura became weaker and weaker. After hearing about it, the Iron Saber Mountain Master was very worried and came to check on your condition in person."

"If you can't wake up in a few more days, it will be a failure to break through, and the consequences... everyone is very worried about you."

"Banbu, dried meat has no moisture, just eat a little. You should rest first, I'll go catch some fresh prey."

Banbu replied: "Thank you, Wind Chime."

"Banbu, you're too polite."

Wind Chime hurriedly drilled out of the cave and left with a flap of its wings.

In winter, most small and medium-sized animals hide away for the winter, making it difficult to hunt food, so it will definitely not be back for a while.

Banbu did not follow Wind Chime's instructions, and continued to eat several pieces of dried meat, and then went out to find some rotten leaves to eat to restore his physical strength.

He spat out the God-given seed and carefully stored it.

Without hesitation, he chose to use the Golden Thread Bamboo seed to breed the L3 intermediate warrior's life seed.

The L3 intermediate warrior's body length finally exceeded 100, and there were also very small changes in the body structure. The comprehensive abilities related to combat power, such as shell hardness, strength, and speed, were slightly improved.

"According to the current growth rate, calculating the time, I can still breed a life seed before spring. However, in spring, the original energy food is scarce, and the intake of original energy is insufficient, so it may take at least three months to evolve again."

"I hope the Rainbow Flame Spider Tribe's caravan can arrive sooner, so I can get a batch of materials needed for growth from them with empty hands."

Banbu silently calculated in his heart.

He walked out of the cave and checked his life seeds.

No need to take care of them in winter, everything remains the same.

Then he looked at the ordinary cockroaches in the haystack.

One-third of them had already frozen to death. Only a pitiful 30 or so male cockroaches remained. However, having successfully survived the first cold wave, the mortality rate would be greatly reduced in the following time.

The tree spirit of the Xun Grass God-given Seed seemed to have fallen into hibernation. Banbu released several thoughts to it in succession, but there was no response.

Only the Lizhu Life Seed was relatively lively. It had accumulated a lot of original energy during the 24 days that Banbu was asleep, and it fed it back as if venting as soon as he approached.

Banbu was reluctant to waste it and hurriedly used his cultivation technique, using a lot of effort to complete the absorption, and fell into weakness again.

Just then, Wind Chime returned with a fawn in hand, looking a little flustered, and shouted from afar: "Banbu, it's bad, I just found a black bear warrior lurking under Lizhu Peak."

"You eat quickly and restore your combat power, I'll go notify the Iron Saber Mountain Master."

ps1: The Three Friends of Winter are Pine, Bamboo, and Plum. I remembered it wrong, sorry.

ps2: Thank you for your rewards. At the end of the month, I will list a list of thanks separately, so I won’t say it at the end of the chapter, so as not to affect everyone's reading experience.
