Astral Cockroach

Remaining calm in the face of danger, observing coolly, thinking and analyzing.

This was a habit that Banbu, as a human, had developed from a young age, thanks to his family's education.

With just a fleeting glance, spending less than a minute in total, Banbu thoroughly analyzed the ink python that had ambushed him and made comprehensive considerations.

Finally, only one difficult problem remained: how to solve this big trouble?

Banbu deliberated constantly during his flight.

… …

"Banbu, why did you come here?"

Iron Blade Mountain Master was initially surprised by Banbu's sudden arrival, but noticing that Banbu was flying very fast, he felt uneasy and asked, "Did something happen to Li Bamboo Peak?!"

Banbu landed and said, "Iron Blade Mountain Master, calculating the time, the pods of the snake vine god-given seed are about to mature, I came over to take a look and see if you need help guarding them."

"Oh, is that what it is? That's good then." Iron Blade Mountain Master was relieved and explained, "The snake vine will mature in about ten days, and it's rooted in the water, so it's not very convenient to use the original stone to replenish its original power. Red Banyan Mountain Master of Water Banyan Mountain Range has promised to come and help, so there won't be any problems with safety."

"Two Mountain Masters guarding it? That's safe then." Banbu stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down to check the growth of the snake vine god-given seed, and casually said, "Iron Blade Mountain Master, I sensed fluctuations of original power on the way here, approached stealthily, and discovered it was an ink python warrior."

"Ink python warrior? One?" Iron Blade Mountain Master carefully looked at Banbu, thought for a moment, and said, "One ink python warrior is not a threat, Banbu, didn't you try to kill it?"

"Not a match." Banbu replied simply, seriously saying, "It travels in a straight line, extremely fast, silently, good at ambushes. Its body length is comparable to the rosy python, its scales are rhombus-shaped, overlapping one another, with tight defense, and it hides its original power fluctuations very well."

"Body size comparable to the rosy python!" Iron Blade Mountain Master gestured for a moment, suddenly became nervous, and said in a low voice, "Mountain Master level ink python?!"

"Not yet, still a little short." Banbu said, "It should have wandered over from Yulan or Stone Oak Mountain Range, similar to that Mountain Master level rosy python warrior, growing to near Mountain Master level by consuming a large amount of a certain god-given seed fruit year after year, initially developing a special ability to conceal original power fluctuations."

"Equivalent to a nine-year-old advanced warrior?" Iron Blade Mountain Master's mood relaxed slightly, carefully pondering Banbu's description, then roared angrily, "It's the one who killed Mountain Noltea! It's it! It must be it!"

"The scent emitted by the South Snake Tendon Vine has a natural attraction to pythons, and ink python warriors are no exception. It wants to snatch the snake vine god-given seed!"

"Driven out of its living territory by the black and white cockroach tribe, it hates cockroaches, this is malicious revenge!"

Iron Blade Mountain Master asked excitedly, "Banbu, where is it hiding?"

Banbu said, "I saw it by chance on the way here. I discovered it, and it also discovered me. I can't beat it, and it can't hurt me. We couldn't do anything to each other, and finally, we just passed each other by."

"Oh!" Iron Blade Mountain Master said, "Banbu, you must not slack off in the defense of Li Bamboo Peak."

"Li Bamboo Peak has Big Bear, Wind Chime, and me. A single ink python warrior is still manageable." Banbu also reminded, "Iron Blade Mountain Master, ink pythons are good in water, be careful not to be ambushed."

Banbu told Iron Blade Mountain Master about the ink python warrior in a roundabout way, just worried that he would be ambushed.

The ink python warrior is hiding in the lake within the resonant force field, single-mindedly hiding, even a County Master level red cockroach warrior can't do anything to it. Banbu painstakingly concealed the specific location, because he didn't want Iron Blade Mountain Master to pay too much attention to the situation there.

Without rushing back to the mountain, he stayed to chat with Iron Blade Mountain Master for half a day before leaving.

Returning to the swamp, flapping his wings and flying, entering the resonant force field, hovering in the high altitude beside the lake, and stirring his mental power to shout:

"Come out!"

"I am Banbu, the Mountain Master of Li Bamboo Peak in Jin Ping Mountain Range. I think we should communicate."

After shouting, he waited silently.

There was no response for a long time.

Banbu stirred his mental power again, repeating the shout.

Waiting again, there was still no response.

Banbu unfolded his mental power and landed on the ground.

He was cautiously on guard, but there was no movement for a long time. He restrained his mental power, activated his secret technique, and began to absorb the ownerless mental power emitted by the resonant force field.

His antennae drooped to the ground, his mind highly concentrated, sensing slight movements.

After another long time, he caught a faint vibration.

Without hesitation, he flapped his wings and took off, while also unfolding his mental power to scan, capturing the ink python's trail. This time, it attempted to approach stealthily from the side to launch an ambush, but upon discovering it was exposed, it decisively turned its head and silently disappeared into the lake.

"This ink python warrior has rich combat experience, especially skilled at ambushes!"

Banbu concluded in his heart, no longer continuing to probe, lest he anger the opponent, and turned to leave.

Returning to Li Bamboo Peak, he landed directly in Wind Chime's territory.

Wind Chime was indeed a little too doting on Red Rice, painstakingly opening up a paddy field on the hillside, and bringing many barnyard grasses from the swamp to plant in the paddy field.

Red Rice busied himself with these barnyard grasses all day long, enjoying himself.

He not only learned three-way hybridization but also knew how to select seeds and cultivate seedlings, attempting to cultivate new and improved rice varieties from the barnyard grasses.

Wind Chime, on the other hand, was listlessly lying under his lifeblood plant, gazing at Red Rice in the distance.

"Banbu, you went on a long trip as soon as you were promoted to a two-year-old advanced warrior, this time you've been gone for nearly two days."

"I went to visit Iron Blade Mountain Master, the fruit of the snake vine god-given seed is about to mature, so I took a look at its growth status."

Banbu explained, then said, "The journey wasn't smooth, I discovered an ink python warrior…"

Banbu used the same description method as when he informed Iron Blade Mountain Master, concealing the matter of the resonant force field in the swamp, and truthfully told Wind Chime the other news.

Hearing that an ink python warrior with strength approaching the Mountain Master level had settled in Jin Ping Mountain Range, and was very likely the culprit who killed Mountain Noltea, Wind Chime became nervous.

Banbu took the opportunity to arrange for Wind Chime to go to Iron Blade Mountain Range to notify the other warriors of Iron Blade Mountain Range to be careful.

He summoned Big Head, Big Bear, and Bamboo Rat warriors, informed them of the situation, and reminded them to be extra careful recently.

He forcibly moved Red Rice, who lived at the foot of the mountain, to the mountain, dug a small cave in his own cave, and let him live inside, so that he could hide inside as soon as possible in case of danger.

… …

The news of the discovery of the ink python warrior spread quickly.

Jin Ping Mountain Range, Iron Blade Mountain Range, and Water Banyan Mountain Range all entered a higher level of alert.

The days of fear and anxiety were not pleasant.

The annual dry season arrived.

The emerald bamboo god-given seed bloomed.

Li Bamboo, Golden Thread Bamboo, and Emerald Bamboo lifeblood plants bloomed one after another.

Various bamboo breeding experiments on Li Bamboo Peak were carried out as usual.

Using drought and low temperatures on the mountain to stimulate Cloud Silk Golden Bamboo to bloom and hybridize with Golden Thread Bamboo, the pollen was cross-pollinated.

Golden Thread Bamboo successfully pollinated Cloud Silk Golden Bamboo.

However, Cloud Silk Golden Bamboo could not successfully pollinate Golden Thread Bamboo.

… …

Seven-Colored Bitter Bamboo is indeed a high-quality bamboo species that blooms and bears seeds once a year.

Banbu also successfully stimulated Seven-Colored Red Bamboo to bloom using the drought method.

The results of cross-pollinating the two bamboo species were similar to those of Golden Thread Bamboo and Cloud Silk Golden Bamboo.

The pollen of Seven-Colored Bitter Bamboo can be used to pollinate Seven-Colored Red Bamboo.

However, the pollen of Seven-Colored Red Bamboo cannot be used to pollinate Seven-Colored Bitter Bamboo.

… …

The ordinary emerald bamboo from last year condensed bamboo fruit. After the bamboo fruit was sown, the growth was very poor. The bamboo poles were of different heights and uneven quality. Some bloomed, while others did not. Even if they successfully bloomed, most of them could not complete pollination and could not condense bamboo fruit or bamboo rice.

Banbu knew that this phenomenon was called "trait segregation", which was exactly the result he wanted.

Golden Thread Bamboo and Spotted Bamboo are hybridized to obtain Emerald Bamboo.

Emerald Bamboo inherits the excellent genes of the parent and mother plants. It can bloom every year and condense bamboo fruit. However, the condensed bamboo fruit cannot continue to reproduce.

In this way, Banbu can monopolize Golden Thread Bamboo and obtain Emerald Bamboo varieties through hybridization every year for sale.

Other insects can only use the seeds they get as lifeblood plants, and cannot sow and reproduce them.

Therefore, he can always monopolize the production and sales of Emerald Bamboo varieties.
