Astral Cockroach

Carefully walking into the depths of the kaleidoscopic maze, the concentration of colorful mist rapidly increased, and the visibility was reduced to within 2 meters.

Mental power was completely suppressed, and once it left the body, it would be immediately dissolved.

The propagation of sound waves within the colorful mist would also be greatly weakened.

However, underfoot was solid gray-brown rock.

Stones could better transmit vibrations.

All directions and the sky were filled with swirling colorful halos, which were somewhat dizzying, and I walked about seven or eight hundred meters in a daze.

Squeak, squeak!

Bai Zhu gnashed its teeth, transmitting information, while pulling the spider silk tied together.

This meant there was an important discovery.

Banbu immediately approached along the spider silk.

A sizable crater with a cyan-green metal cabinet lying diagonally inside.

Bai Zhu was lying on the cabinet, curiously examining it.

The cabinet was too large to see the edge at a glance.

Banbu waved its antennae, signaling Bai Zhu to move away, shifted its body, and spread its wing-veins to measure.

It felt like a blind person touching an elephant.

Roughly judging, the height was about 3 meters, the length was about 9 meters, and the thickness was about 1 meter. It was a very long cabinet, with a relatively complete alloy partition.

It was divided into small compartments 30 centimeters high and 40 centimeters long, with 8 rows from top to bottom, 10 compartments per row, totaling 80 compartments. Each with a single door, and no electronic equipment was used, but purely mechanical combination locks.

Checking the cabinet door number: C - PX - B231-2101

C represents the preciousness rating.

PX represents "Primal Force Plant Extract Gene Liquid", abbreviated as "Plant Gene Liquid".

B231 represents the corresponding plant type, which is the basic physique strengthening type, more specifically, a branch type among agility (speed) strengthening types.

2101 represents the detailed number of this batch of goods.

… …

The plant gene liquid comes from the Primal Force Plants (God-bestowed Seeds) seized during the survival planet landing war.

Intelligent races often nurture Primal Force Plants, especially races with advanced technology. They know how to use technological means to help Primal Force Plants grow and evolve time and time again, transcending the Primal Force life level and reaching the cosmic life level.

In war, whenever a survival planet is successfully occupied, a few cosmic-level Primal Force Plants that have given birth to tree spirits can usually be captured. Having given birth to intelligence, most tree spirits are unwilling to surrender, so they are cut down and killed by humans, using the tree body as material to extract the corresponding gene liquid.

Plant gene liquid is very beneficial to similar Primal Force Plants. It can improve genes, increase the probability of successful evolution, and also has the benefit of increasing growth rate.

Banbu groped around, checking the numbers on the cabinet doors one by one, all of which were C - PX - B231-210 X

It should have been extracted from a super-large star-field level Primal Force Plant, with the same model and a preciousness rating of C.

… …

"Is this thing useful to me?"

"I don't have a God-bestowed Seed that enhances speed right now."

"That wild cliff cypress God-bestowed Seed! Give it to it?"

Banbu thought, feeling a burst of joy, and placed its antennae on the combination lock, constantly scanning.

The high temperature generated by friction with the air during the fall burned the lubricating oil that filled the gaps in the mechanical lock and isolated mental power. However, the omnipresent kaleidoscopic mist filled it again.

With divine sense isolated, it was impossible to detect the internal situation of the mechanical lock, so naturally there was no way to crack the password.

This guy is so big, I'm afraid it weighs dozens of tons, and there's no way to move it out.

Banbu lowered its head and thought, and immediately had an idea.

Untying the spider silk tied to its leg, waving its antennae, signaling Bai Zhu to stay away, its whole body burning with flames, burning the surrounding kaleidoscopic mist, and then, aiming at a combination lock, it spat out another mouthful of flames.

The wing-vein flames continued to be released, and the antennae also ignited a ball of flames, quickly placed on the combination lock for inspection.

Success!

High-temperature flames can indeed more effectively restrain this colorful mist.

Banbu's two forelimbs quickly dialed the combination lock, while using mental power to detect the internal mechanical structure of the lock.

A series of extreme speed operations.

With a "clang" sound, the cabinet door opened.

The cabinet was filled with a thick layer of shock-absorbing and constant-temperature material, in the middle was a small cubic metal box, only 20 centimeters on a side.

The toe hooked the handle, dragged it out, groped to find Bai Zhu guarding the edge of the cabinet, tied the spider silk, waved its antennae, signaling that it could leave.

… …

Due to the multiple uses of flame abilities, after walking out of the kaleidoscopic maze, the carapace primal force patterns immediately lit up, quickly absorbing natural primal force to replenish consumption.

"Banbu!" Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes exclaimed, looking at the box Banbu was carrying, and exclaimed in surprise: "Did you pick up a treasure?!"

Mountain Lord Red Bean was first surprised, then became cautious, lowered her divine sense, and happily said: "Mountain Lord Banbu, you can really open the box!"

"Yes!" Banbu said somewhat tiredly: "It's very difficult!"

Saying that, it began to fiddle with the box, pressing all four buttons, with a "click" sound, the box cover popped open.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

Opening the lid, there was only a lonely sphere inside, 5 centimeters in diameter, pitch-black, matte, with a metallic texture.

Turning it over to check, there was also a row of detailed character numbers on it.

Taking it out and weighing it, the weight was unusually heavy, at least 3 kilograms.

Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes and Mountain Lord Red Bean were constantly using their mental power to scan.

Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes asked strangely: "It's not edible, is it?"

Mountain Lord Red Bean also said disappointedly: "Primal force food is not like this, there is no primal force fluctuation, it doesn't seem like it can be eaten."

Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes asked tentatively: "Banbu, wouldn't this just be a metal sphere?"

"My metal ability is isolated." Banbu muttered: "It should be, right."

Mountain Lord Red Bean asked: "Is there any value?"

"It's too hard, I can't see any value in it at the moment…" Banbu said: "I'll take a closer look."

"Okay." Mountain Lord Red Bean's eyes turned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she happily said: "Banbu, the metal box is exquisite and ingenious, it's valuable!"

"That's right, the box is good. Before leaving, King Red Armor Mantis instructed us to bring two back for it." Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes turned her head and asked: "Mountain Lord Red Bean, roughly how many primal stones can the box sell for?"

"The price is not fixed." Mountain Lord Red Bean said: "Princess Round Cypress sets a bottom price for the warriors below. For example, this box, the bottom price is 1,000 primal stones. If other warriors take it to sell, they generally ask for as much as 1,500 primal stones. The final primal stones sold, deducting the bottom price of 1,000 primal stones, the remainder is the reward for the warrior responsible for selling."

Mountain Lord Red Bean finished speaking and added: "The boxes containing primal force food have special primal stones inside that can be used to preserve fresh fruit for a long time, so they sell for a lot. The bottom price is 10,000 primal stones."

"This kind of box is a bit small, and there are no special primal stones inside, so the price must be low. Setting the bottom price at 1,000 is about right."

Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes understood, turned her head, looked at Banbu, and asked: "Banbu, how many of these boxes are there inside?"

Banbu truthfully said: "80. Each one has a separate cabinet door, and you have to open them one by one, which is very troublesome."

Banbu added: "I'm responsible for opening the boxes, I'm putting in the most effort, and Bai Zhu is also helping, so I want to split 50 boxes, plus all the metal spheres."

"Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes, you can split 10 boxes; Mountain Lord Red Bean, you can split 20 boxes. Is this distribution okay?"

"I have no problem." Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes was guarding outside and hardly helped with anything. Being able to get 10 boxes, 10,000 primal stones, was already very satisfying.

Mountain Lord Red Bean hesitated for a moment, calculated in her mind, 20,000 primal stones was a good income, and agreed: "No problem."

Mountain Lord Red Bean added: "Mountain Lord Banbu, there are a few clever warriors in my Red Bean Mountain Range who have accepted Princess Round Cypress's call and are selling goods in the market. You can't use all these boxes yourself, can you? You can give them to me, and I'll have them help sell them."

Selling a box for 100 more primal stones is also a considerable income, which is much better than farming for advanced warriors.

Mountain Lord Red Bean is actually not bad, she has made a fortune herself and also wants to help other warriors in the mountain range make a small fortune.

Banbu nodded its antennae and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you first."

Mountain Lord Red Bean looked around, lowered her divine sense, and said: "Mountain Lord Banbu, come, I'll help you build a resting nest chamber, you can slowly busy yourselves, I should go back to report the situation to Princess Round Cypress. I'll come over once in the evening under the guise of transporting food, and we'll talk then."

After speaking, she began to use her ability to manipulate earth and stone, the soil under her feet loosened, bulged, forming an arched nest chamber 5 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 3 meters high at the highest point.

Bai Zhu and Mountain Lord Yellow Stripes began to pack their things.

Banbu said: "Mountain Lord Red Bean, you can pay attention and inquire if there are any cabinets that are confirmed to exist but cannot be opened or moved. I have both metal and flame abilities at the same time. The Gold Mantis Tribe can't do it, but I can try."

"I understand!" Mountain Lord Red Bean readily agreed, flapped her wings, and left in a hurry.

PS: 4 chapters in the evening, 5 chapters burst out today.
