Astral Cockroach

#266 - Blackwater Lake (Chapter 8)

The wreckage of the ship-borne energy-gathering neutron cannon was huge, but unfortunately, it was already scrap, and scrap that couldn't be moved.

Lady Vitex sadly said, "It seems we can only ask the warriors of the Golden Mantis Kingdom to come over themselves and see if they can dismantle and take the pieces away."

Banbu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "The warriors of the Golden Mantis Kingdom collect this kind of material?"

Lady Vitex said, "Similar things have fallen down before. Some tribal warriors collected them, and during the Longevity Feast, the warriors of the Golden Mantis Kingdom bought them at a good price."

Banbu asked suspiciously, "Can the warriors of the Golden Mantis Kingdom dismantle this kind of metal material?"

"I don't know. The warriors of the Golden Mantis Kingdom like to collect all kinds of rare metal materials." As Lady Vitex spoke, she opened her mouth, and a pillar of scarlet fire sprayed towards the fragments in front of her, continuously burning for two or three seconds before stopping.

The fragments remained completely undamaged.

Lady Vitex said, "This thing is extremely strong, different from the ordinary metals refined by the Golden Mantis warriors. It's completely unafraid of high-temperature burning. I don't know if they can dismantle it after buying it back."

Of course they can't dismantle it!

Even the metal manipulation ability released by the Dominator-realm divine power imprint within Banbu's heart was helpless. How could those scraps from the Golden Mantis Kingdom, who hadn't even reached the cosmic level of life, possibly dismantle it?

Lady Vitex added, "Mountain Lord Banbu, I heard that you are favored by the God of Nature, gifted with extraordinary talent, and awakened both metal and fire abilities at the same time?"

Banbu replied, "That's right."

Lady Vitex asked, "You awakened the ability to control metal?"

Banbu replied, "I awakened a little."

Lady Vitex asked, "Then do you collect rare metals?"

So that's how it is. Banbu was wondering why this fellow was so enthusiastic. It turned out she knew he was rich and that he had awakened metal abilities. She was here to sell scrap.

"I can collect a little to play with." Banbu thought for a moment and said, "My metal ability can't dismantle these fragments. I can't move the big pieces, but maybe I can get a little of the small pieces to take back and play with."

"Most of the fragments we picked up are small pieces." Lady Vitex enthusiastically invited, "Mountain Lord Banbu, let's go to Blackwater Lake."

… …

Blackwater Lake, as the name suggests, the water is black.

Caused by excessive fertility.

The lake water is very shallow, filled with lotus roots.

It's early summer now, and the lotus leaves emerge from the water, a large expanse of verdant green, a scenery full of ancient charm.

If it were midsummer, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the scene would be even more beautiful.

On the shore of the lake, newly cultivated peach orchards in recent years form patches upon patches, and the ones growing best have already begun to bear fruit.

The Fire Roach tribe warriors who migrated here live around the lake.

Looking around, there are quite a few of them.

"Lady Vitex, the aura of the Oil Hemp Fields is not bad! How many warriors have you relocated to settle down?"

"The Longevity Roach King requires us to relocate 200 warriors here in succession. My lineage is the least favored by the Longevity Roach King, and I was required to relocate 100 small warriors here. Currently, 43 have already been relocated."

"Blood Peach County was also required to relocate 50 warriors here… You should have heard of Blood Peach County Lord. Her reputation is extremely poor. She doesn't listen to the Longevity Roach King's orders, doesn't keep her promises. Only in the initial stage of reclamation and expansion did she send 13 small warriors, occupy some of the positions with the most concentrated aura, and then refused to send any more small warriors…"

"Currently, in total, only 56 small warriors have settled in Blackwater Lake, far from the 200 required by the Longevity Roach King. Their strength is also not good. The early ones reached the fourth instar advanced warrior stage, but most are first or second instar advanced warriors, and there are still many intermediate warriors… The beast warriors are fierce, vicious, cunning, and treacherous. Their safety is not guaranteed. I'm worried, so I personally stayed here to guard them."

Lady Vitex spoke with some heartache, and after speaking, she angrily cursed, "That bastard Blood Peach, she dares to disobey orders while the Longevity Roach King is still around. No insect can control her. If the Longevity Roach King… then wouldn't she rebel against the tribe?"

"… …" Banbu found these words particularly piercing.

You still think 13 small warriors are too few?

If anyone gave me 13 small warriors in the Brocade Screen Mountains, I would definitely be so happy that I couldn't sleep, right?

This is the difference between a large tribe and a small tribe!

The population size alone is not on the same level.

The aura abundance around Blackwater Lake is not bad. At least it's better than most places in the Brocade Screen Mountains. They actually still complain that the place is barren.

A blatant display of wealth, right? Why didn't a large fragment fall down and smash you all to death?

Banbu, feeling unhappy, asked, "Lady Vitex, where did you put the fragments you collected?"

"Over there." Lady Vitex was still depressed, explaining, "We are worried that the things that fell from the sky carry unknown evil power, so we store them all far away."

Lady Vitex deliberately led Banbu on a large circle around the Blackwater Lake, introducing the tribe's small warriors to Banbu one by one, before finally arriving at the foot of a hill 5 kilometers away.

A cave was specially opened to store them, and two advanced warriors were sent to guard it.

There are quite a few broken fragments, piled together, looking like a scrap recycling station.

"So many?" Banbu was surprised.

Lady Vitex said, "Our 20 warriors searched for more than 20 days. In addition, there is also a large piece that we can't move, so we can only leave it outside."

Banbu's mental power swept over, and he was immediately disappointed. They were all ship hull fragments, not of high value.

Locking onto one of them, he stepped forward and took it out.

The fragment was irregular, with an area of about 1 square meter and a thickness of about 20 centimeters. It was very heavy.

The two sides of the fragment were plated with a thin layer of black metal, and the fracture was bright silver.

This was a fragment of the spaceship's outer shell, and the metal material used was much better than the internal bulkhead interlayer.

Banbu silently circulated his divine power imprint and tried using his metal ability, but the metal elements that made up the fragment remained motionless.

Banbu then selected 4 small fragments, making it an even number, and asked, "Lady Vitex, how do you calculate the price?"

Seeing that Banbu only selected 5 pieces, Lady Vitex was slightly disappointed and tentatively asked, "1,000 primal stones?"

"Okay." Banbu readily agreed, adding, "Leave the things here for now. Help send a few warriors to help transport them to Lízhu Peak later, and pick up the primal stones along the way."

"No problem." Lady Vitex also readily agreed, and then asked, "Mountain Lord Banbu, would you like to choose a few more large ones?"

"No need. My metal ability can't do anything to them. I'm afraid buying them back would just be for display." Banbu then asked, "You said earlier that there was a large piece that you couldn't move? What does it look like?"

Lady Vitex said, "It's square, very big, especially heavy, completely unmovable."

Square!

That must be some kind of box for holding things.

Unmovable? That's right! Maybe it's filled with great treasures!

Banbu tried hard to remain calm and tentatively asked, "Lady Vitex, shall we go take a look?"

Lady Vitex said, "We can… but… forget it. You have metal abilities, let's go take a look."
