Astral Cockroach

The origin power plants at the cosmic level are often exceptionally tall, so the transport cabins are designed to be particularly spacious, with dedicated passages for human warriors to move through.

Banbu entered the passage and walked along it.

Fragments of the ship's hull were slanted into the ground.

The passage also sloped downwards, using gravity sensing, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.

On the left side, cabins 3 and 4 were damaged, and the contents were certainly scattered, so there was no need to search them.

The main task was to check cabins 1 and 2 on the right side of the passage.

Soon, he found the hatch to the biological laboratory corresponding to cabin 1. The hatch was destroyed by powerful force, and ant trails made of silk threads covered the ground. Everything that could be moved had been emptied.

Next was the guard room protecting cabin 1. The hatch was wide open, empty, and nothing was left.

It seemed that this wreckage had long been looted by the ants, and completely emptied.

Continuing downwards for about 200 meters, corresponding to cabin 1, which contained the world-lord level origin power plant.

The hatch was tightly closed!

This type of hatch was a triple-door design, fully automatic opening and closing, with the strictest anti-theft system, requiring officer credentials, palm神通 vein patterns, and body cell gene verification in sequence.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to open. If non-relevant personnel approached, it would immediately trigger the alarm and defense systems.

But now was not a normal situation. This was just wreckage, the energy supply system was interrupted, and the backup energy was exhausted. If the metal ability was strong enough, just by using metal induction, twisting off a few important mechanical components, the door could be forcibly pried open.

Banbu repeatedly tested and could sense the internal structure of the hatch with his metal ability, and also found several key nodes for opening the door, but currently he didn't have the strength to destroy them.

Further down, the biological laboratory, guard room, and even the door of cabin 2 corresponding to cabin 2 were all violently destroyed, and the contents inside were also looted clean.

It wasn't just the looting by the ants, but more so by the human warriors on the spaceship.

Firstly, only human warriors with strength exceeding the star-destroying level possessed the strength to violently destroy the hatches.

Secondly, Banbu carefully checked and confirmed that even a bit of residue of the origin power plant transported in cabin 2 was not left. It was impossible for the ants to move it so cleanly. Inside the cabin, there were also small storage cabinets for separately loading branches and leaves cut from the origin power plant. The cabinet doors were all violently opened, and the contents inside were taken away, leaving nothing behind.

Banbu guessed that the spaceship had been stranded in the dimension space for too long. Without waiting for rescue, the surviving warriors ran out of supplies, and in order to survive, they began to violently demolish, taking away all usable materials to sustain their lives.

The surviving warriors should be hiding in cabin 1, which was the only one that remained sealed!

If there were valuable things, they must also be placed in cabin 1.

Banbu thought about it, and estimated that there wouldn't be any valuable things left, at least the origin power food and origin power crystals would be consumed. It wouldn't be surprising if the origin power plant was gnawed clean.

He changed his mind and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart: "That's a world-lord level origin power plant, who would dare to mess with it? If those surviving warriors dared to use it to sustain their lives, even if they lived to be rescued, the outcome would definitely be being sent to a military court, starting with the death penalty. Not only would they die, but they would also bear the stigma of 'damaging the interests of the human race' and die in humiliation."

"Maybe it's still there… I'll come back and try…"

… …

Relying on gravity sensing, he returned to the passage, went upwards along the passage, returned to the top of the spaceship wreckage, then climbed down the slope, and returned to the ground.

He found the mark at the edge of the crater, identified the direction, left directly, and walked out of the psychedelic mirage.

After eating and drinking enough, he rested for the night and continued on his way.

Banbu was very familiar with the structure of the spaceship and knew that the cabins for loading small items such as origin power crystals, origin power food, and precious raw materials were adjacent to the large cabins for loading origin power plants.

Theoretically speaking, the probability of finding something of practical value near the large wreckage would be very high. The vicinity had been swept by the ants, but it certainly wouldn't be as clean as the inside of the wreckage.

Banbu took Baizhu and began searching around this area.

The round trip was far away, and he carried dried meat food in his backpack, going out to rest and resupply only once every 5 days of continuous searching.

He encountered quite a few things, but his luck was very bad, all of them were raw materials.

He was busy for a month, but gained nothing.

With his head buried, he walked out of the psychedelic mirage in frustration, wondering if he should give up and change to another pit to change his luck.

"Banbu!"

A familiar, surprised call.

Banbu looked up and saw that the temporary nest made of earth and stones was crowded with red ant warriors. The one calling his name was Heisang, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

Next to Heisang was Dahuhuangguorong. After this guy was promoted to mountain lord, his territory's annual income slowly began to exceed that of Chijian ant king and himself. He was about to become the richest ant in the red ant tribe. Why did he follow along?

There were also familiar insects, Iron Tallow Mountain Lord and Brown Fruit Oil Tea had also run over.

"Heisang, Dahuhuangguorong, Iron Tallow Mountain Lord, Brown Fruit Oil Tea… Why are you here?" Banbu greeted.

Dahuhuangguorong replied: "Chijian ant king asked us to follow along and broaden our horizons."

"Baizhu!" Baizhu shouted and jumped off Banbu's carapace.

"Baizhu!" Heisang exclaimed again, staring at Baizhu with some surprise.

The other newly arrived red ant warriors were also like this, all staring with wide eyes.

Shudawang squeezed in, and his gaze was immediately attracted.

Baizhu wore a pink baseball cap with the brim facing backwards. After being promoted to mountain lord, his body length reached 1.4 meters. He wore a light blue casual T-shirt and walked independently, which just covered his hips. He wore a leather belt around his waist, hung with two daggers, and carried a backpack on his back, with a sheathed war blade inserted in the bag.

With his hind legs on the ground, he stood in place, with his front paws on his hips, looking like a human.

When he walked, he wiggled, and the red underwear inside was faintly visible, full of flirtatiousness.

Baizhu took two steps and found that everyone was staring at him, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. With a clang, he drew his war blade, held it with his front paws, and waved it, showing off a few moves of the sword technique that Banbu had recently taught him.

With another clang, the war blade returned to its sheath.

The newest novels are on six-nine-shu-ba first!

"Wow wow wow…" A burst of exclamation and cheers.

Baizhu became even more proud.

He shook his head handsomely.

His head was a little small, and the baseball cap, which was already unstable, spun and flew out…

"Baizhu, put away the knife and daggers, don't wear them on your body, go play with Heisang and the others, but don't run around."

Banbu ordered and asked Shudawang: "Chijian ant king is here?"

"We arrived yesterday." Shudawang said: "Chijian ant king and Princess Youli are here, they went to visit the Yunsong mantis king."

"Oh." Banbu's spiritual power swept over the newly arrived batch of red ant warriors, and he was immediately disappointed: They were all young and strong warriors, either possessing the seed bestowed by God, or being clever juniors favored by their elders.

This formation wasn't for treasure hunting, they were following Chijian ant king on a sightseeing tour.

Banbu took Shudawang and walked further away.

"Banbu, was that sword technique and martial skill that Baizhu just showed off?"

"That's right, a simple fighting martial skill, basic sword technique."

Shudawang didn't speak, waiting for the following.

Banbu said: "There are also broken war blades in the temporary nest over there. You can pick one yourself, and I will use my metal ability to make a scabbard for you. There are also daggers, pick two yourself. The 'Qingying Secret Art' was originally an assassination martial skill, and the essence lies in dagger assassination. I will pass it on to you later."

"Okay." Shudawang was satisfied.

Banbu continued: "It's better to act sooner rather than later. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you various high-end knowledge and familiarize you with the environment of the psychedelic mirage. You should learn to use a compass to identify directions as soon as possible."

Shudawang asked: "Has Baizhu learned it?"

"He has." Banbu said depressedly: "This guy's brain isn't working well. Judging from his appearance, he probably hasn't learned it, and he refuses to admit it."

"He's just a fool, it wouldn't be normal if he could learn it." Shudawang was happy when he heard this, and said: "Banbu, I think he's very unruly, do you want to teach him a lesson?"

Banbu instructed: "This is the Orchid Mountain Range of the Knife Mantis Kingdom, not Lizhu Peak. Everyone should be united, don't have conflicts."

"Alright." Shudawang was indeed much smarter than Baizhu, and mature and prudent. He changed the topic and asked: "What are all those things that Baizhu put on his body? What are they for?"

Banbu said: "The thing on his head is a hat, and the clothes on his body are for good looks, nothing else. There are many piled up over there, if you like them, go pick them yourself."

"Fancy!" Shudawang disdained and said: "In case of danger, those things will hinder his movements and he'll lose his life."

"Well, up to you." Banbu was very satisfied and said: "I got a batch of origin power food that strengthens the brain, which is helpful for learning knowledge and calculating directions in the psychedelic mirage. You will eat one tonight."

"Okay." Shudawang answered simply.

It was convenient to communicate with Shudawang, he understood everything with just a hint, and most of the time he didn't need to be reminded, Shudawang could understand it himself, without so much nonsense.

PS: There may be no outbreak tomorrow, five more on Tuesday or Wednesday.
