Astral Cockroach

The red ant tribe had a total population of just over 5,000. Those qualified to discuss the tribe's development with the Red Armor Ant King were actually the 12 County Lord-level warriors.

Banbu possessed many God-given seeds and was probably the most promising junior. Moreover, he demonstrated outstanding wisdom, which was why the Red Armor Ant King sought his counsel.

The small tribe occupied only a few territories and had limited strength, so the matter was settled quickly.

Changing the subject, they began discussing how to solve the threat of the beast warriors.

If You Cha's reconnaissance was accurate, the only threat in the Jinping Mountains was that black wolf warrior unit. The wolf pack had only one Mountain Lord-level wolf king, which wasn't a major threat.

You Cha continued to lock on and track the black wolf warriors wandering within the Jinping Mountains. As long as they understood their activity patterns, they could assemble enough combat power to encircle and annihilate them at any time.

Next were the Mo Anaconda warriors. You Cha had already locked onto their location and informed Banbu. Banbu led the Red Armor Ant King and the tribe's elite to repeat the old trick and encircle them in one fell swoop.

The five Mo Anaconda warriors guarded a "shrub" that was not a shrub at all, but a wild black grape vine that had been growing for some years. It couldn't be moved or transplanted, so they simply left it as bait to "fish" with.

The real trouble lay with those beast warriors hiding in the Da'an Mountains and Jinping Mountains.

The Changsheng Ant King was unwilling to launch a large-scale campaign.

That meant the Red Ant tribe had to put in more effort. This winter, the Red Armor Ant King would organize a group of elite warriors to first clear out the Da'an Mountains.

…

A month later, You Cha returned to Lizhu Peak, bringing news: the black wolf warriors had secretly observed Lizhu Peak and then ran away, crossing the Jinjiang River and entering the Cliff Cypress Mountains.

Banbu promptly informed the Cliff Cypress Mountain Lord of the intelligence. Whether they had the ability to wipe out this black wolf warrior unit was a matter for their Black and White Flower Ant tribe.

At this time, both the Red Ant tribe and the Flying Fire Ant tribe had elite warriors clearing out beast warriors in the Da'an Mountains and Jinping Mountains.

Banbu didn't dare to be negligent either. After You Cha rested for a few days, he immediately sent it out to monitor the border and watch for any powerful beast hordes straying into the Jinping Mountains.

The Jinping Mountains were large and had complex terrain. No matter how capable You Cha was, it was only one individual and probably couldn't cover everything.

This time, it was away from the mountain for a full two months, only returning when the spring weather warmed up, once again as thin as a rail.

Was it really that dedicated?

Even Banbu, this cold-blooded "capitalist," couldn't help but feel a little guilty, arranging for You Cha to rest and recuperate on the mountain.

Looking at the seven bamboo rat warriors, they also possessed reconnaissance skills, but were timid and afraid of death, unwilling to take risks. These seven guys were comfortably eating and drinking well on the mountain, with no farm work to do, lazing around for an entire winter.

…

The spring sun shone, and a warm breeze blew, causing old branches to sprout green shoots.

Late at night, two black and white figures came from the south.

Banbu was the first to notice.

One was the Flower Cypress Mountain Lord, and the other was a County Lord-level warrior from the Black and White Flower Ant tribe.

Knowing the location, the Flower Cypress Mountain Lord landed directly beside the wild Cliff Cypress God-given seed.

Banbu minimized its movements as much as possible, crawling along the ground to rush over.

The three Mountain Lords, Huang Wen and the others, who lived on the mountain, roughly guessed something and remained silent, pretending not to know.

"Flower Cypress Mountain Lord! This one is…"

The Flower Cypress Mountain Lord was in a bad mood and didn't answer.

"County Lord Hongfeng." County Lord Hongfeng took it in stride and introduced herself.

Banbu said, "Thank you for your trouble!"

County Lord Hongfeng didn't say much, gently tapped her antennae, crawled down tightly against the wild Cliff Cypress God-given seed, placed her antennae on the tree trunk, and a shimmering blue-green glow rose from her body.

The Flower Cypress Mountain Lord lowered his mental power and reminded, "Banbu, you need to prepare some primal stones, and also prepare some fresh meat."

"Oh." Banbu shook its antennae, transmitting the message, troubled Mountain Lord Huang Wen to help hunt, and quickly ran back to the mountain cave where it lived, picked up a bag of primal stones, and hurried back.

First time seeing this, very novel!

Inevitably curious.

Banbu wanted to witness firsthand how the Black and White Flower Ant tribe promoted the rapid growth of implanted seeds.

Standing not far away, silently watching.

Without needing to use mental power, the soul could clearly sense the changes in County Lord Hongfeng's body.

It seemed to be establishing some kind of connection with the Cliff Cypress God-given seed, cautiously and not very smoothly.

The communication state continued until the dawn's light appeared. Suddenly, County Lord Hongfeng's body changed, and the entire carapace was covered with a layer of blue-green primal force, the primal force stagnating.

Watching, Banbu had a strange feeling: County Lord Hongfeng seemed to be petrifying, becoming a part of the Cliff Cypress God-given seed, and was transmitting nutrients to the Cliff Cypress God-given seed through her antennae.

That should be the special energy that promotes the rapid growth of plants.

The consequence was that County Lord Hongfeng's aura weakened sharply, and cracks appeared in the primal force patterns on her carapace.

This process lasted very short.

The primal force patterns on the surface of the carapace only cracked slightly, and did not collapse.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.吧!

County Lord Hongfeng retracted her antennae, crawled away from the Cliff Cypress God-given seed, exhausted, and collapsed on the ground.

Mountain Lord Huang Wen had been standing on the mountain secretly watching. Seeing this, he immediately carried the corpse of a Hooked-pattern Mountain Python that he had hunted last night, stepped forward, silently placed it in front of County Lord Hongfeng, and flapped his wings to leave.

The Flower Cypress Mountain Lord walked forward, cut the food, and fed it to County Lord Hongfeng.

Banbu silently watched, and seeing that County Lord Hongfeng had recovered some of her energy and her aura had improved, he stepped forward, lowered his mental power, and asked, "County Lord Hongfeng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'll be fine after a month of recuperation." County Lord Hongfeng said, "County Lord Qiufeng has selected nine County Lords, including me, from the tribe, and everyone will come to Lizhu Peak in turn to promote growth for you."

The Flower Cypress Mountain Lord said, "Next month is County Lord Linye."

Promoting growth for 200 years shortens one's lifespan by 100 years. If it fell on a single County Lord, it would indeed be fatal. But if it was shared by nine County Lords, only two of them would have to sacrifice 15 years of lifespan, and the other seven would only have to sacrifice 10 years. County Lord-level ant warriors have a lifespan of 500 years, so losing 10 years of lifespan is actually not a big deal.

"Thank you all!"

Banbu was completely relieved, turned his head, and began to check the Cliff Cypress God-given seed.

A strange force fused with the branches and leaves, and the growth rate seemed to have accelerated, but not the kind of rapid growth that was visible to the naked eye.

Slow and even, this strange force would continue to play a role in the next month.

Observation showed that it did not cause obvious damage to the plant.

The Flower Cypress Mountain Lord liked cypress trees and kindly reminded, "Banbu, you shouldn't be lacking the cypress seeds condensed by this wild Cliff Cypress God-given seed, right?"

Banbu said, "I don't lack them."

The Flower Cypress Mountain Lord said, "Then when it puts out flower spikes, cut them off in time. For the next few years of promoting growth, let it rest from flowering and fruiting. This will be more beneficial to its healthy growth."

Banbu understood the meaning of the Flower Cypress Mountain Lord as soon as he heard it, and nodded his antennae and said, "Understood, I will do as you say."

County Lord Hongfeng also said, "The potential of this wild Cliff Cypress God-given seed is not bad, it is worth cultivating. Take more care of it, and don't be stingy with primal stones."

"I understand." Banbu said gratefully, "Thank you!"

County Lord Hongfeng continued to eat to recover. She ate almost a third of a Hooked-pattern Mountain Python before stopping. Her physical strength recovered, but the special injury could not be restored in a short time. She hurriedly said goodbye, eager to return to her territory to recuperate.

Watching them disappear into the sky.

The oppressive atmosphere of Lizhu Peak suddenly became lively.

Banbu beckoned to Datou, quickly directing the worker ants to water and fertilize the Cliff Cypress God-given seed, replenishing primal force.

Mountain Lords Huang Wen, Bairong, and Hepi went down the mountain to watch the excitement, and from time to time, high-level warriors stationed at the foot of the mountain ran up to take a look and feel the magical power of promotion.

The other members of Lizhu Peak had long felt the movement and came to watch one after another.
