Astral Cockroach

Fully ripe blood peaches taste no worse than python-patterned melons. The flesh is soft, and the juice is as red as fresh blood, fragrant and sweet.

The key is that ordinary life seeds condense less Origin Power. The Origin Power enhancement effect is not as strong as python-patterned melons, so you can eat large mouthfuls without worry.

Five matured. The three young warriors each ate one, and Cliff Cypress and Spotted Bamboo also got one each.

After eating, there were still dozens of unripe fruits on the blood peach tree.

Iron Flower stubbornly refused to leave.

After a lot of fuss and a good beating, it finally agreed to leave with Cliff Cypress.

Du Bamboo and Red Rice still lingered in Wind Chime's territory.

Spotted Bamboo simply ignored them. The derivation of the cultivation method was nearing completion, and it would be best to have a few days of peace and quiet.

Five days later, the "Basic Cultivation Method · L1 Advanced Chapter" was completed. The next work was very simple, just make some regular additions to perfect it to the "Basic Cultivation Method · L6 Advanced Chapter".

With the assistance of the cultivation method, Spotted Bamboo could consider slightly accelerating his growth rate.

After the blood peaches were finished, Du Bamboo and Red Rice refused to stay in Wind Chime's territory. They returned to the mountain and pestered Spotted Bamboo to play every day, which made Wind Chime quite annoyed.

……

White Bamboo returned late with Big Bear.

Misfortune and fortune are intertwined, escaping death. Big Bear himself was ignorant and didn't feel much, but Spotted Bamboo was filled with emotion.

In just half a month since being promoted to Mountain Lord, Big Bear's size had soared to about 2.5 meters.

Before Origin Power creatures become cosmic creatures, it is difficult to break the shackles of their racial genes. Naturally weak races are weak, and naturally strong races are definitely strong, difficult to surpass.

Big Bear's gene mutation this time can be called a miracle, allowing it to break the shackles. According to the current growth trend, its size may reach 3 meters, which is close to the size of jungle overlord-level beast races.

The new fluff is thick and dense, with the hardness of metal and the toughness of spider silk, covering the body surface and forming a perfect defense.

The power of its Iron Sand Palm has also greatly increased. In the jungle, no tree can withstand a single palm strike.

Spotted Bamboo estimated that after Big Bear is fully formed, it would be able to fight head-on with Mountain Lord-level Hookjaw Mountain Pythons and Rosy Boa warriors, and might even be stronger.

……

On both sides of Li Bamboo Peak, Spotted Bamboo and Wind Chime led the way, with the three little ones, Red Rice, Du Bamboo, and Red Rice, also participating, working together to remove weeds.

After a whole day of scorching sun.

In the evening, the wind that blew was still hot and dry.

Very irritable.

I don't know how the seeds spread, but fleabane, cogongrass, nutgrass, stinkweed, and other miscellaneous weeds grew wildly all over the mountain.

The fruit tree seedlings planted in the spring were all submerged by weeds.

Big Head often sent worker ants to harvest weeds, but cutting the grass without removing the roots is a temporary solution. After cutting one crop, it immediately grows back in a few days.

Unintentionally, many fruit tree saplings were robbed of sunlight and nutrients by weeds, developing slowly and deformed, or even dying.

Currently, the ant colony commanded by Big Head is too busy to handle it. There is no way, Spotted Bamboo can only go to the ground himself and temporarily remove the weeds around the fruit tree seedlings, one by one, roots and all.

As for the weeds covering the mountain, we can only wait for the seven Bamboo Rat warriors to return. They are best at digging up grass roots.

"Wow! A wild rabbit!" Du Bamboo exclaimed.

"Quick! Chase it!" Red Rice shouted excitedly.

When Spotted Bamboo turned his head to look, the two little ones had already run far away.

Going out to work when the sun is about to set, these two little ones couldn't bear it and wanted to sneak away to play.

Spotted Bamboo shouted, "Red Rice!"

"I'll go catch them back." Red Rice immediately put down his work, spread his wings and took off, chasing after Du Bamboo and Red Rice.

Wind Chime saw this and advised, "Spotted Bamboo, they are still young and can't help much, let them play."

Spotted Bamboo said, "There are adult Hookjaw Mountain Pythons on the mountain, which is quite dangerous, so we can't let them run far."

Wind Chime thought about it and agreed, no longer trying to persuade him, and sighed as she looked at the weeds all over the mountain.

The correct way to plant fruit trees is to open up a nursery and concentrate on cultivating the seedlings to about 1 meter high, and then open up the land and transplant them.

Spotted Bamboo wanted to save trouble, so he cleared the wasteland in one go and directly scattered the seeds.

Originally, he thought that ordinary fruit trees could be planted casually without breeding, and there was no need to spend too much effort.

Now, it has become even more troublesome.

Of course, Spotted Bamboo couldn't admit his mistake, and vented his anger on the two little ones, forcing them to work every day. Seeing their depressed looks, he felt a little happier.

Spotted Bamboo stipulated that weeding farm work would start from sunset and continue until dawn, and the schedule would be changed to rest during the day.

There are always endless chores in midsummer.

For Du Bamboo and Red Rice, this was the most miserable summer in their insect lives.

The weeding work has not yet been completed, and the dry season has arrived. Most bamboo forests can draw water from the underground reservoir on the peak through underground channels. However, to prevent drought, after the water level in the reservoir drops to a certain level, it is necessary to use bamboo tubes made of Manchurian bamboo to draw water for irrigation.

The reason is very simple. Irrigation through ditches will lead to a lot of seepage waste.

Drawing water for irrigation is very heavy. In order to save water, every bamboo pole must be watered in place, which also lasts from dusk to dawn.

Spotted Bamboo sent Du Bamboo and Red Rice to work with the ant colony commanded by Big Head.

After nearly a month of training, the two little ones became much stronger, but they were no longer as naughty as before, nor did they pester Spotted Bamboo anymore, seizing the opportunity to hide in Wind Chime's territory.

Red Rice also grew into an intermediate warrior and officially announced that she would settle down at the foot of the mountain, living next to Wind Chime. No matter how Du Bamboo tried to persuade her, it was useless.

This was exactly what Spotted Bamboo intended.

Red Rice and Red Rice are next to each other, which is convenient for them to manage the rice fields at the foot of the mountain in the future, and also convenient for them to travel together to work in the rice fields north of the mountain.

Du Bamboo likes bamboo, so Spotted Bamboo arranged for him to live next to his territory, living with him.

Spotted Bamboo is planning for the future development of Li Bamboo Peak and even the entire Jinping Mountain Range.

Li Bamboo Peak currently has 5 cockroach warriors, as well as the small bee queen Cattail, who is pregnant with life seeds, all of whom will occupy land. Also, because 3 God-given seeds and a wild Cliff Cypress God-given seed have been planted, considering the possibility of obtaining God-given seeds in the future, plus the need for a large area of land for bamboo species cultivation and experimentation, Spotted Bamboo decided that he would accommodate at most 2 more cockroach warriors.

These two places are quite precious, and it is best if they are born on Li Bamboo Peak.

The arrangement of locations should also be a bit particular. Concentrated living makes it easier to watch out for each other in case of attacks by beast warriors.

Spotted Bamboo's plan is to arrange for the other two warriors to live on both sides of Cattail's territory, one on the left and one on the right, to protect Cattail's safety.

……

This dry season, because there are already Green Bamboo and Rain Bamboo two bamboo species that need to be cultivated in large quantities, the pollination work is heavy, Spotted Bamboo only carried out one new bamboo species hybridization experiment – pollinating White Bamboo with Colorful Red Bamboo-1.

Unfortunately, the pollination failed.

Green Bamboo is pollinated using Cloud Silk Gold Bamboo-1 to Spotted Bamboo. Planting observation proves that the quality is better. The name remains unchanged, but from now on, Gold Thread Bamboo will no longer be used to pollinate Spotted Bamboo to cultivate "inferior" Green Bamboo.

The Rain Bamboo bamboo seeds harvested last year have all bloomed this year, but they are a bit "peculiar". There are a lot of panicles, each panicle blooms 4 to 6 flowers, and what is condensed is actually bamboo rice.

The Jade Bamboo God-given seed is also the same. Each pole draws 2 flower panicles, and each panicle uniformly blooms 4 flowers, also condensing bamboo rice instead of the expected bamboo fruit.

Each bamboo pole condenses 8 grains of bamboo rice?

During this period, Iron Saber Mountain Lord of Cliff Cypress Mountain Range, Li Bamboo, Black Mulberry, Flame Tufted Bluestem, Rose Myrtle, and other warriors came to see it once.

Flower Cypress Mountain Lord also came excitedly, came with excitement, and left disappointed.

Under normal circumstances, the flowering and fruiting of God-given seeds have certain rules. Low quality, high yield, high quality, low yield. The reason is easy to understand. The fundamental reason is that their rate of absorbing Origin Power is limited.

Those God-given seeds with high fruit quality and a lot of fruit are special cases. This special case has a premise, that is, they must be high-quality trees, and they also have a common feature, that is, their underground root systems are unusually developed.

Rain Bamboo also derives 584 bamboo poles, which means that only 4672 grains of bamboo rice can be harvested in total.

The yield is low.

Spotted Bamboo himself was a little disappointed. In all likelihood, his get-rich dream was shattered.
