Astral Cockroach

Youcha was skilled at searching and quickly located Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu then gave another earnest and patient persuasion, finally calming the Tata Tree Spirit.

They packed their belongings and prepared to set off.

The Red Fiend Roach King organized 10 warriors to first meet with Ban Bu at Lizhu Peak, and then set off along the Jinjiang River.

The two Princesses and eight Mountain Lords each carried a silk bag, which contained another silk bag and a python skin pouch. Basically, all the bags in the territory that could hold things were brought along.

Carrying the bags affected their flying speed, and it took them more than half a month to reach the Orchid Mountains.

It was now deep winter, and all the insect tribes were idle, making the bazaar at the foot of the Orchid Mountains exceptionally lively.

For the first two years, it was solely the Saber Mantis Tribe selling all sorts of strange items from beyond the heavens.

After two years of development, clever insect warriors saw the business opportunity and transported specialty Origin Power foods and high-quality seeds produced in their own territories to sell at relatively high prices. Different regions, different mountain and water climates, evolved different kinds of plants. The Origin Power foods produced by different insect races also had the characteristics of their race's basic talents, which were considered rare and fun, and sold quite well.

With all sorts of strange goods appearing in the bazaar, more insect warriors would definitely be attracted, and it could be predicted that the Orchid Mountains bazaar would be even more prosperous and lively next year.

The area outside the Misty Mountains was equally bustling.

Along the iridescent mist, rows of raised earth and stone nests were densely packed, all occupied by insect warriors participating in the treasure hunt.

The Red Roach Tribe was a small tribe, squeezed onto a "front line" only about 1.5 kilometers wide.

To the south was the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe, and further south was the Flower Roach Tribe.

To the north was the Jade Roach Tribe, a branch of the Fire Roach Kingdom, and further north was the Flying Fire Roach Tribe, and further north was the Giant Roach Tribe…

This was intentionally arranged by the Saber Mantis Tribe, after all, they were all Roach Tribes, and close neighbors, familiar with each other, so being next to each other would prevent conflicts from breaking out.

…

Like other insect races, the Red Roach Tribe warriors were building plank roads.

Princess Youli knew how to enjoy life, spreading a beast skin and lying comfortably on it, enjoying the winter sun.

Getting closer, Ban Bu couldn't help but be speechless.

Princess Youli didn't know where she got a red chest wrap used by female soldiers, and she had self-taught how to use it, stretched it on her antennae, and then used it as an eye mask. The size was just right, covering both compound eyes.

Sensing the arrival of the Red Fiend Roach King and his party, Princess Youli took off her "eye mask", stood up, and greeted: "Red Fiend Roach King, Princess Ginkgo, Princess Du Ying, Ban Bu, you're here."

"Yes." The Red Fiend Roach King responded, gently touching Princess Youli's eye mask with his antennae and asked, "What is this?"

"A toy made by evil creatures from beyond the heavens, who knows what it's called." Princess Youli demonstrated, pulling down the eye mask to cover her eyes, and then pulling it up, explaining: "It's very good for blocking sunlight. Many insect warriors use it like this now. I spent 50 Origin Stones to buy it."

The compound eyes of insect warriors cannot close. By nature, they mostly avoid light. When enjoying the sun, they often tear off a few large leaves or use animal skins to cover their compound eyes. This large "eye mask" is made of high-end material, exquisitely crafted, and has gorgeous patterns. It looks really high-end, atmospheric, and classy.

"Not bad!" The Red Fiend Roach King turned his head and instructed the Yellow Stripe Mountain Lord next to him: "Yellow Stripe, go to the market later and buy a few more back."

The Yellow Stripe Mountain Lord replied: "Understood."

"They're already sold out. I'm smart, I hoarded a few, I'll give them to you." Princess Youli pointed her antennae to the north and said seriously: "Red Fiend Roach King, half a month ago, the Fire Peach Roach King of Changsheng County came once, saying he had something to discuss with you."

The Red Fiend Roach King asked suspiciously: "What is it?"

Princess Youli said: "He thinks I'm old and weak, and doesn't look at me straight, so he wouldn't say."

"Humph!" The Red Fiend Roach King snorted coldly and said: "I'll go ask."

…

The Red Fiend Roach King left.

Princess Youli burrowed into her nest, took out three brightly colored red eye masks, and said: "Princess Ginkgo, Princess Du Ying, Ban Bu, here, you each have one, don't be polite."

Princess Ginkgo and Princess Du Ying took the things, thanked her, and couldn't wait to put them on their antennae.

Ban Bu shook his antennae and said: "Forget about it for me."

"You don't like red?" Princess Youli waved her antennae, pointing to the area of the Black and White Flower Roach Tribe to the south, and said: "They bought a lot of black ones. You know that guy named Mountain Lord Hua Bai, right? He's very cunning, he hoarded a lot in advance, and now he's peddling them everywhere. You're next to him, and I heard you have a good relationship? You can go ask him for one."

"…" Ban Bu said: "Forget it, I don't need one."

"Don't say forget it, I'm reluctant to give it away." Princess Youli was a little dissatisfied, waving her antennae and said: "Ban Bu, we are building plank roads, don't be lazy, go and see if they are straight. Recently, several tribes have built the plank roads crooked because they don't know how to use a compass, and they have to start all over again, which is very time-consuming."

The Red Roach Tribe was building two plank roads simultaneously at intervals of 500 meters.

Ban Bu waved his antennae and instructed: "I'll go this way, Rat King, you go and take a look over there."

…

The plank road is actually just two rows of spider silk spaced about 5 meters apart.

At intervals of about 6 meters, a bamboo tube or a tree stump of appropriate size is inserted into the ground for support. In the iridescent mist, black and white are the most conspicuous, so they are painted black with charcoal mixed with amber fruit juice.

In this way, warriors can leave the spider silk and enter and exit the iridescent mist along the plank road.

Bamboo tubes and tree trunks, common things that were originally worthless, now need to be purchased from the Saber Mantis Tribe with Origin Stones, and the price is not low. The material demand is very large, and the cost of the plank road is quite high.

The plank road that Ban Bu was checking was only across the mountains and about 500 meters deep into the plains. If you want to go deeper, it's a long way to go.

At such a short distance, there is no possibility of building it crooked.

Ban Bu went to the location of the large wreckage to check again, and everything was still untouched.

Near the Myriad Nations Continent, the plank road couldn't be built so far.

The ant tribe of the Myriad Nations Continent has already swept it more than once, and everything that can be moved has been moved away. The probability of going back to search is not high, so the things are quite safe.

However, to avoid long nights and many dreams, it is best to move the things that will be moved away sooner or later.

After a round trip of eighty or ninety kilometers, the sun had already begun to set when he walked out of the iridescent mist.

The Red Fiend Roach King hadn't returned yet.

Rat King and Bai Zhu were happily fighting, and a group of warriors were watching the excitement.

Ban Bu glanced at them and found that the two guys were just fighting brute force, pushing each other. He didn't care much, and walked towards Princess Youli who was lying not far away.

Princess Youli lazily asked: "Ban Bu, is there anything wrong with the things?"

"Of course." Ban Bu asked: "Has the Red Fiend Roach King not returned yet?"

"No."

"What about Princess Ginkgo and Princess Du Ying?"

"They are both here for the first time. They are curious about everything they see and rushed to the market to wander around."

Ban Bu approached Princess Youli, lowered his divine sense, and asked: "Princess Youli, are those things I left behind last time still there?"

Princess Youli asked: "What things?"

Ban Bu said: "6 Origin Power Crystals…"

"They're gone! It's been so long, they've already been distributed." Princess Youli said contemptuously: "You guy, did you run away with good things last time? Is Dong XZ okay?"

"Hehe… There's no good stuff…"

"Hmph, you still want to take back the things you sent out?"

"No, I'm just asking."

Ban Bu last time, in order to confuse Princess Youli and get away, threw out things worth nearly 900,000 Origin Stones in one go. As a result, Tata Tree Spirit didn't know anything when asked, and didn't ask for any news. It was still a useless waste. Thinking about it later, his heart ached. He really wondered if he could get some back.

Rat King and Bai Zhu were finally tired of fighting, and after uttering harsh words to each other, they turned their heads and separated.

Ban Bu then stepped forward, caught the two of them, and gave them a lesson.

Just as it was lively, the Red Fiend Roach King galloped back, landed, shook his antennae, signaled Ban Bu and Princess Youli to follow, and came to a secluded place.

"To the north, the Giant Roach Tribe was the first to lay plank roads. Their plank roads penetrated deep into the iridescent mist. About 30 days ago, they discovered a large wreckage."

"Most of the things inside have been moved away, and there is still a metal door left, the kind that can't be opened. First, they approached the Gold Mantis Tribe, but the other party wanted to take half of the income. The Giant Roach Tribe successively found several races that mastered metal abilities, but the lowest they would take was half of the income if they could open it."

"Ban Bu, can't you open doors? This is a good opportunity to make a fortune, you can go and try."
