Astral Cockroach

During their conversation, Putao revealed that Divine Seeds didn't actually require divine favor. Every autumn, many tribal warriors would spend a lot of time and energy conducting a carpet search of their territory, and some were lucky enough to find one.

Also a high-level warrior, Flame Cluster Spot Mao was no more than 5 years old and not yet mentally mature. Upon hearing the news, he couldn't sit still. He left Banbu in Putao's care and rushed back to his territory, intending to try his luck.

Putao was once a "hot-blooded youth" who would wander the mountains and fields every autumn in search of Divine Seeds. Unfortunately, his efforts were fruitless for many years, so he gave up. Now, seeing that this little guy Banbu had been lucky enough to pick up a Divine Seed, his cooled enthusiasm rekindled. He left early every morning and didn't return to the nest until dusk to bring food back to Banbu and rest.

Banbu was also the type to take things as they come. He was content as long as he had food and lodging. He spent most of his time exercising, apart from resting.

The comfortable and peaceful time always passed so quickly. Before he knew it, signs of evolution appeared.

Banbu informed Putao and then burrowed into its nest chamber and fell into a deep sleep.

… …

L5 Elementary Warrior, body length 30, White Jade Mulberry Life Seed completed incubation. Banbu carefully selected a Chinese Arborvitae seed as his 5th Life Seed.

Putao and Flame Cluster Spot Mao tirelessly searched the jungle for Divine Seeds. It was said that the news spread, and the warriors of the entire Crimson Ant tribe in the mountain range were mobilized, setting off a treasure hunt craze.

One day at dawn, Flame Cluster Spot Mao suddenly arrived.

"Banbu, Lord Iron Saber wants me to take you to see him. We should set off."

"Okay."

Banbu moved his antennae.

The previous so-called visit to Lord Iron Saber was just Flame Cluster Spot Mao tricking Banbu. This visit was probably the real thing.

They set off immediately.

After flying over only a dozen or so mountain peaks, Flame Cluster Spot Mao landed again.

"Banbu, this is Mayu's territory."

"I was born in Mayu's territory. Mayu is my elder, and you were born in my territory, so I am your elder. Therefore, Mayu is your elder's elder. You should respect him, understand?"

The logic was flawless.

"Understood."

Banbu was a little speechless as he looked around the environment, and he was also a little curious.

The flat ground in front of the nest chamber entrance was covered with various weeds. The sight immediately gave a sense of desolation and neglect. There were only 5 lonely Life Seed plants on the mountain, and they weren't growing very healthily.

Sensing movement, a tribal warrior with a body length of about 400 crawled out of the nest chamber. The color of its carapace was dull, and its movements were slightly slow. Every move exuded an aura of aging and decline.

"Flame Cluster Spot Mao, you've finally deigned to come and see me."

"Is this the little guy with the Divine Seed who was newly born in your territory? A strong little guy, a black carapace is more conducive to concealment, and he also has a pair of forelimbs that are good at fighting. He is truly a darling favored by the True God. You will become the tribe's most outstanding warrior!"

Mayu's mental power also revealed a hint of twilight weakness.

Cockroaches have keen senses, and Banbu also felt a faint, cold aura of death lingering around him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Flame Cluster Spot Mao replied, "I've been too busy lately."

Mayu asked, "Busy looking for Divine Seeds? When I was young, I was as enthusiastic and passionate as you, but the fact proves that the God of Nature only favors a very small number of lucky people."

Flame Cluster Spot Mao said confidently, "Then I will definitely become one of those very few lucky people."

"Heh heh." Mayu ended the conversation with a laugh and looked at Banbu, continuing to laugh, "Haha, little guy, you just visited Putao, right? Looks like you had a good harvest."

Banbu was carrying a snakeskin bag filled with many Chinese Arborvitae seeds.

Flame Cluster Spot Mao said, "Putao is the most generous warrior in our Iron Saber Mountain Range."

Mayu said, "That's because its Life Seeds are growing well, and it has an endless supply of Origin Power food every year."

Mayu stretched out his forelimbs and pointed to his Life Seed plants, saying, "Little guy, that's my Chinese Arborvitae Life Seed. The fruits have long since matured. Go and pick them yourself. It's best to fill your little bag."

After the Chinese Arborvitae seeds mature, they don't fall off immediately, but hang on the tree, naturally drying in the wind and sun before falling off naturally.

Crimson Ant tribe warriors only need to patrol under the tree regularly every day and collect the dried, fallen seeds.

Of course, you can also pick and dry them yourself.

"Thank you!"

Banbu was delighted.

The elder's elder is different. He completely treats me like family, actually letting me pick them myself. He's even more generous than Putao.

The "little bag" that Banbu was dragging wasn't small. It was made from a giant python with a body length of about 600, cut off from the tail, drilled into, and the bones and flesh were hollowed out. The snakeskin was dried and made into a literal "snakeskin bag."

When leaving, the generous Putao once again gifted 20 Chinese Arborvitae seeds as a farewell gift. Adding the 17 seeds that he hadn't finished eating before, there were a total of 37 Chinese Arborvitae seeds, which barely covered the bottom of the bag.

Banbu's plan was to follow Flame Cluster Spot Mao to visit all the elders in the Iron Saber Mountain Range. He didn't ask for much, just enough to fill the snakeskin bag with various gifts.

Was the goal about to be achieved just by coming to Mayu's place?

Banbu wouldn't be polite. He immediately dragged the bag towards the Chinese Arborvitae tree.

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

"Banbu, stop!" Flame Cluster Spot Mao suddenly spoke to stop him, saying, "It's getting late. We can't keep Lord Iron Saber waiting. We should set off."

Banbu turned his head and sent a questioning message: Aren't you just taking me around to freeload?

Flame Cluster Spot Mao spread his wing membranes and urged, "Listen, come up, let's go."

Mayu said, "Don't rush. You can rest here with me for a day. It's not too late to leave tomorrow morning. I don't think Lord Iron Saber will blame you for this."

Flame Cluster Spot Mao said, "We'll visit Lord Iron Saber first. When we return, we'll rest here with you for two days."

Mayu said dissatisfiedly, "Flame Cluster Spot Mao, you little guy is getting more and more slippery. You don't like staying here with this old guy who is about to die. You hate me."

Flame Cluster Spot Mao hurriedly said, "No, how could I? After visiting Lord Iron Saber, we will definitely come to your place. I'll come and chat with you."

Flame Cluster Spot Mao flapped his wing membranes, urging anxiously, "Banbu, come up quickly, hurry up."

Banbu reluctantly carried the snakeskin bag and flew onto Flame Cluster Spot Mao's back, not forgetting to greet Mayu with mental power before leaving: "Goodbye!"

Mayu was immediately overjoyed, laughing loudly, "Haha, smart little guy, he's actually learned to use divine sense to communicate. Flame Cluster Spot Mao, I'm proud of you."

Flame Cluster Spot Mao was in low spirits, saying, "We are also proud of you."

After speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away.

The verdant mountain peaks flew past.

Along the way, Flame Cluster Spot Mao was unusually silent. After a long silence, he suddenly opened his mouth, with a strong sense of sorrow.

"Banbu, did you feel it? Mayu is old."

"Yeah."

Banbu replied casually, pondering why Mayu only had a few Life Seed plants.

Flame Cluster Spot Mao said, "A very unfortunate thing happened to Mayu when he was young. A Forest Wolf warrior broke into his territory, trying to plunder his Origin Power food. A battle broke out between the two sides. Although Lord Iron Saber arrived in time and killed the Forest Wolf warrior… But unfortunately, in the battle, almost all of Mayu's Life Seed plants were destroyed."

"Losing the Life Seeds, his strength will forever stagnate at the 3rd level high-level warrior… Unable to continue growing, increasingly aging…"

Flame Cluster Spot Mao choked as he spoke.

"When I was little, I loved visiting Mayu's territory because every time he would give me all the Origin Power food he had harvested to eat. Later, Lord Iron Saber told me that Mayu's lifespan wasn't long, and he was relying on the Origin Power food produced by the remaining 5 Life Seeds to continue his life. If I ate his food, it would accelerate his aging… Death…"

No wonder Flame Cluster Spot Mao was anxious to leave.

Upon hearing the reason, Banbu also felt a strange sadness in his heart.
