Astral Cockroach

Banbu stayed beside the God-given seed of emerald bamboo, observing for two days, and immediately discovered the problem.

Of the existing 73 bamboo stumps, the newly grown bamboo shoots were developing rapidly, while the vitality of the bamboo stalks that had already grown was being rapidly consumed, transferring to the bamboo shoots. Unsurprisingly, when the bamboo shoots grew into bamboo stalks, the original bamboo stalks would wither and die.

The development of bamboo shoots does not require much nourishment, mainly a large amount of Origin Power.

Moreover, the God-given seed of emerald bamboo also needed to accumulate a large amount of Origin Power to supply the 512 underground stems that had just been derived.

The natural Origin Power of Lizhu Peak was completely insufficient, and Origin Stones had to be used to supplement it.

Roughly estimated, a total of 8,000 Origin Stones were needed, at the cost of slowing down the development of the God-given seed of emerald bamboo. Saving a bit, at least 4,000 Origin Stones had to be invested. Less than this number would make normal growth impossible.

For safety's sake, Banbu took a moderate number: 6,000 Origin Stones.

That is, all the reserved Origin Stones would be invested.

...

Advancing to a high-level warrior, Banbu's size soared, and its body length jumped to about 1.2 meters. The number and distribution of hearts in the body changed significantly. Troublesome, it took nearly ten days to deduce the "Basic Cultivation Method · L1 Advanced Chapter".

He went to the swamp to absorb the mental power overflowing from the metal core.

Then he went to the cliff at the junction of Jinping Mountain Range and Shui Rong Mountain Range to find Mountain Lord Iron Blade.

"Banbu, you've grown into a high-level warrior?!"

"Why are you going out alone? Didn't Feng Ling notify you? The Black and White Flower Roach Tribe is developing wasteland, and now is a very critical period. The Jinping Mountain Range is especially dangerous."

"Beasts below the Mountain Lord level can't do anything to me. If I can't beat them, I can escape."

Banbu's soul strength was infinitely close to the Mountain Lord level, and its perception was sharp. It could detect danger in advance. Frontal combat might not work, but it was very confident in running away to save its life.

Banbu landed on the cliff, looked down, and its antennae pointed to the snake vine God-given seed below, and said, "In this period, this thing is a burden! It can easily attract beast warriors passing by here from the Jinjiang path."

"It won't be a problem if I guard it. A mountain range must have a Mountain Lord guarding it to be stable." Mountain Lord Iron Blade added, "The snake vine God-given seed is rooted in the water, and the vines grow clinging to the cliff, which is indeed troublesome. Six days ago, a team of Bridge Crocodile warriors passed by Jinjiang and noticed this."

Banbu was startled and asked, "A team of Bridge Crocodile warriors?"

Mountain Lord Iron Blade said: "To be precise, there are 8 Bridge Crocodile warriors, but there is no Mountain Lord level existence. They are good at water. In Jinjiang, I can't do anything to them. I can only give a warning, warning them to go upstream along Jinjiang and not to stay in the Jinping Mountain Range."

Most beast warriors are barbaric and unreasonable. Is a warning useful?

Banbu had a headache.

The Bridge Crocodile is an amphibious beast second only to the Xia Python. With 8 Bridge Crocodile warriors, Lizhu Peak's current strength is completely unable to contend with them.

These were what Mountain Lord Iron Blade happened to see. How many did he not see?

Banbu asked, "Mountain Lord Iron Blade, where is the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe developing wasteland?"

Mountain Lord Iron Blade said: "The opposite bank of Yangti Mountain Range is called Huangshi Mountain Range. According to legend, it used to produce yellow Origin Stones very, very early, but later the Origin Stone mine was exhausted, and the mountain range gradually declined. South of Huangshi Mountain Range is Luli Mountain Range, and further south is the out-of-control desolate mountain range called Yulan Mountain Range, and further southeast, there is another desolate mountain range called Shinan Mountain Range."

"The Black and White Flower Roach Tribe has mobilized three thousand high-level warriors, and the Colorful Flower Roach Tribe has dispatched one thousand high-level warriors, totaling four thousand high-level warriors. In addition, there are two Roach Kings, four County Lords, and more than twenty Mountain Lords participating, jointly encircling and suppressing the beast warriors in the two desolate mountain ranges of Yulan and Shinan."

"It started in the early winter of last year and is now nearing its end."

Banbu listened and had another headache, and said, "Developing desolate mountain ranges, a large number of beast warriors are running around, impacting our Red Roach Tribe's territory, causing losses. Doesn't the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe have to bear responsibility?"

"No, this is the rule." Mountain Lord Iron Blade said: "Yangti Mountain Range has been the most affected. County Lord Chijian learned the news and immediately sent three Mountain Lords and 200 high-level warriors to help guard it."

"This time, the Flower Roach Kingdom has dispatched an unprecedentedly powerful lineup to develop wasteland, and it was thought that it would proceed very smoothly, with at most the neighboring Yangti Mountain Range being affected... No one thought that Shui Rong Mountain Range and Jinping Mountain Range would be affected."

"Wasteland development is related to the prosperity of a race, and we have no right to interfere. Similarly, if our Red Roach Tribe needs to develop wasteland in the future, it will inevitably cause losses to the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe, and they have no right to interfere either. Racial development has its ups and downs, which is a rule formed over countless years."

It turned out that the appearance of a large number of high-level warriors in the bamboo sea of Yangti Mountain Range was not to find bamboo species, but to search for beast warriors that had fled over.

Banbu thought for a while and asked, "How to deal with the matter of Shannian?"

Mountain Lord Iron Blade sighed: "The Black and White Flower Roach Tribe will not bear any responsibility. County Lord Chijian privately took out 1,000 Origin Stones to compensate for the losses of Iron Blade Mountain Range."

A high-level warrior died, and the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe did not bear any responsibility. County Lord Chijian only symbolically compensated 1,000 Origin Stones out of ethnic affection.

No need to ask more, don't expect the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe or County Lord Chijian to help deal with the beast warriors running around in Jinping Mountain Range.

Mountain Lord Iron Blade saw Banbu's thoughts and said, "Spring will pass quickly. In summer and autumn, most warriors are very busy, and County Lord Chijian cannot send more warriors to help."

Banbu said: "It doesn't matter. Lizhu Peak has me, Big Bear, and Feng Ling. Ordinary beast warriors can still deal with us."

...

The newest novels are first published at Liu-9-Shu-Ba!

The survival and development of an insect race often depends on the rise of one or several powerful Roach Kings, and the race prospers. At this time, the number of tribal warriors increases, and they will develop wasteland and occupy more mountain ranges to survive.

It will also be because of the aging and death of a Roach King, the race will decline, the number of tribal warriors will decrease, and they will have to abandon some mountain ranges with relatively scarce Origin Power and concentrate their strength together.

Mountain ranges that have lost the suppression of insect warriors will breed a large number of beast warriors and become dangerous wasteland.

The Fire Roach Kingdom, at its peak, achieved control over all its territory.

It has just experienced a decline and decay. At its lowest point, it can only control about half of the kingdom's territory.

Now, the Fire Roach Kingdom is in a period of development from decline to prosperity. Yangti Mountain Range and Shui Rong Mountain Range were developed more than 100 years ago, while Iron Blade Mountain Range and Jinping Mountain Range were developed successively about 70 years ago.

In the future, County Lord Chijian will be promoted to Roach King, and Iron Blade Mountain Range and Jinping Mountain Range will develop and prosper. It will definitely develop desolate mountain ranges in the northwest or southeast direction.

Unfortunately.

The Red Roach Tribe is rising.

The neighboring Black and White Flower Roach Tribe is also rising.

Moreover, the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe has an Origin Stone mine and has taken the lead.

The expansion of the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe will more or less affect the development of the Red Roach Tribe.

The beast warriors driven out of their homes, with hatred in their hearts, will not carefully distinguish between Red Roach and Flower Roach. Anyway, they are all Roach tribes, and they are very likely to launch retaliatory attacks on the territory for no reason.

The Hanging Banyan Mountain Range, Shui Rong Mountain Range, and Jinping Mountain Range bordering Jinjiang are the most dangerous, and even the Iron Blade Mountain Range in the rear may be affected.

After Banbu returned to Lizhu Peak, he immediately summoned Feng Ling, Big Head, Big Bear, and the seven bamboo rat warriors led by Rat King, and announced that Lizhu Peak had entered a state of alert.

Continue to open up the river, everyone try to get closer and cuddle each other to prevent being attacked by some beast warriors who are good at hiding.

The remaining 1 kilometer of river was dug through, and other projects to open up the bamboo sea were suspended. Everyone shrank back to Lizhu Peak. Except for going down the mountain to hunt for food at regular intervals every day, they no longer easily left the mountain.

The ordinary blood thorns at the foot of the mountain have initially taken shape and have a certain defensive ability. It is safer to stay on the mountain.
