Astral Cockroach

After repeated training, Banbu can now barely be considered familiar with using the supernatural power of his heart's location. The most obvious change is the reduction in Origin Power consumption, thereby lowering costs.

Opening an Origin Power crystal storage box originally only used the equivalent of 50,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power. To make it look more convincing, he deliberately wasted Origin Power, using an extra equivalent of 50,000 Origin Stones.

The result of this waste was that it took a full day and night to recover the spent Origin Power.

After a brief discussion, the lady of the Shuo Lian tribe named "Peng Song" led the way.

Banbu brought Bai Zhu and Lady Yin Xing.

They were also accompanied by 10 high-level warriors from the Shuo Lian tribe.

The group set off along the trestle road.

After crossing the mountain range and walking about 1 kilometer, they arrived at the location of the wreckage. The trestle road led directly to the entrance.

The Shuo Lian tribe had also used spider silk to encircle the crater so that even if they accidentally got separated, they would not stray out of the crater's range no matter how lost they became. By following the edge, they could easily find the location of the trestle road again.

Following the gap in the wreckage and entering the corridor, Banbu looked around, roughly confirming that the wreckage was not large, with only one cabin remaining intact. The other cabins had all been torn apart.

Banbu also knew that the warriors responsible for escorting the Luan-K704 transport ship stood guard outside the door and had no authority to enter the cabin. They should have all been swept away by the strong airflow the moment the ship crashed.

Since the hatch was intact and showed no signs of damage, the things inside must be undamaged.

Banbu waved his antennae to signal the warriors accompanying him to step back a little.

The carapace flames rose, scorching the nearby iridescent haze. He placed his antennae on the door and quickly sensed the structure of the lock, unleashing his metal ability.

About ten minutes later, the pulley rolled, and a crack appeared in the hatch.

The iridescent haze seeped inward through the crack.

Two Shuo Lian tribe warriors immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled the door open.

Banbu grabbed Bai Zhu and dashed into the cabin first.

Lady Yin Xing followed closely behind.

Banbu turned back and used his metal ability to forcibly close the hatch.

It could not be perfectly closed, leaving a gap.

Bai Zhu quickly took off her backpack and opened it.

Metal sand flew up and stuck to the door, melting and sealing the gap.

Lady Yin Xing released her flame ability, scorching the iridescent haze that poured into the cabin. She looked at the room full of vertical cabinets, densely packed with doors, and asked somewhat blankly, "Banbu Mountain Master, what do we do? Where do we burn?"

Banbu tapped the mechanical lock on the cabinet door with his antennae and said, "Aim here and burn. Don't rush, take your time."

"Ding!" A very faint sound suddenly rang out in the cabin.

Banbu, Lady Yin Xing, and Bai Zhu were all startled.

Lady Yin Xing reacted the most intensely, scanning with her divine sense, locking onto the target, and opening her mouth to spew a column of emerald green fire.

"Enemy attack alert! Enemy attack alert…" A human voice, still a childish girl's voice, sounded.

Looking closely, it was a disc-shaped intelligent robot about 20cm in diameter.

It still had a little energy left, and it could barely fly.

Faced with Lady Yin Xing's flame attack, a layer of energy shield rose on its surface, blocking the attack. Then, it ran out of energy and fell to the ground.

"Insectoid!"

"Beastkin!"

The saucer-shaped robot let out two childish exclamations in succession.

"Lady Yin Xing, stop!" Banbu shouted quickly.

The ghostly blue flame that Lady Yin Xing had been about to spit out retracted. She realized that the target did not seem dangerous and looked at Banbu in confusion.

Banbu said, "I've seen this kind of thing in the Dao Mantis tribe before. It's not dangerous, just an interesting little gadget."

Lady Yin Xing asked, "Can it be sold for Origin Stones?"

"No," Banbu said. "You can take it back for the little warriors to play with."

Lady Yin Xing waved her antennae, losing interest.

Banbu locked onto the disc-shaped robot with his mental power, transmitting his thoughts, saying, "Little one, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"Insectoid! Bad bug!" The childish voice of a human little girl, with a fierce look, wobbled, trying to struggle, but quickly ran out of energy and could not move at all.

Banbu said, "Are you the daughter of Major General Fei Lin? Your name is Baba."

Major General Fei Lin was the commander of the 4th Logistics Transport Corps of the 7th Army of the Thunder Expeditionary Force, the highest commander of the logistics escort corps of the Luan-K704 transport ship. She was a rare female powerhouse among humans, not only strong but also with a deep family background. She was also a famous beauty and Banbu's superior's superior's superior. It would be strange not to know her.

This robot named "Baba" was also very famous. She was Major General Fei Lin's "electronic pet," or rather, "daughter." Human martial artists, after evolving to the level of cosmic life, completely lost the possibility of procreation, so it was very popular to adopt "electronic life" as a spiritual sustenance.

"You… how do you know?"

"Never mind that. I'll take you away first, and find a way to recharge you later."

After Banbu finished speaking, he waved his antennae and instructed, "Bai Zhu, put it in your backpack and take it out."

"Oh…" Bai Zhu hesitated and asked, "Banbu, are you sure it's not dangerous? I feel like it looks very powerful."

Banbu scolded, "It's not dangerous, stop talking nonsense."

"Oh…" Bai Zhu stepped forward and gently touched Baba with her front claws, discovering that it was indeed not dangerous. She picked it up and stuffed it into her backpack.

Banbu continued to instruct, "My Origin Power consumption is too high. Take out the Origin Power crystal and use one first."

Bai Zhu hurriedly took out an Origin Power crystal from her backpack and shattered it.

Origin Power diffused in the room.

The supernatural power veins and carapace Origin Power veins in Banbu's body shone simultaneously, rapidly absorbing and recovering his consumption.

There was no other way. Opening the hatch was much more difficult than opening the Origin Power crystal storage box, consuming at least the equivalent of 600,000 Origin Stones worth of Origin Power. Banbu didn't want to appear to be continuously absorbing Origin Power for six consecutive days after going out.

If it were three or four days, the other insect warriors could probably accept it and reluctantly use 2 Origin Power crystals.

…

While absorbing Origin Power to recover, he began to open the cabinet doors.

Lady Yin Xing walked in front, spewing flames, burning them one by one, burning away the lubricant that filled the cabinet's locks and isolated mental power probes.

Banbu followed behind, opening the cabinet doors one by one.

Bai Zhu was not idle either. Following behind, after a cabinet door was opened, she immediately moved out the boxes containing Origin Power food inside and neatly stacked them beside the hatch.

There were a total of 50 cabinet doors, which were quickly completed.

With everything prepared, they opened the hatch again.

The Shuo Lian tribe warriors guarding outside immediately used a piece of debris to jam the door.

The Shuo Lian warriors were on the large side, making it difficult to enter and exit the hatch, so Bai Zhu and Banbu passed the boxes out from the inside one by one.

The boxes were put into snakeskin bags, and the 10 Shuo Lian warriors made 9 trips back and forth, emptying everything out.

There were a total of 450 boxes, not one less.

According to the agreement, Banbu took 90, the Fire Peach Roach King took 45, and the rest belonged to the Shuo Lian tribe.

After the distribution was completed, the Fire Peach Roach King left, not in a very good mood, still sulking about opening 2 Origin Power crystal storage boxes.

In contrast, the Snow Cedar Roach King, who had also been tricked and knew he had been tricked for a long time, was much more open-minded. Looking at the three hundred boxes of Origin Power food, he was in a great mood and immediately ordered two boxes to be opened and the contents distributed to reward the Shuo Lian warriors who had participated in the transportation.

The Crimson Firmament Roach King led the accompanying Crimson Roach tribe warriors away, carrying the goods.

Banbu and Bai Zhu were invited to stay.

The Snow Cedar Roach King was straightforward and asked directly, "Banbu Mountain Master, your Bamboo Rat warriors have eaten Origin Power food that enhances perception, right? Don't lie to me, I can sense it. You should have used it too, which means that among your Divine Seeds, there is a condensed fruit that enhances perception, and it's Origin Power perception!"

"Snow Cedar Roach King has sharp eyes, indeed," Banbu stated. "This kind of Origin Power food is only used within the Crimson Roach tribe and is not sold externally."

"I guessed as much. In fact, the Origin Power food that enhances perception produced in my territory is also not sold externally," the Snow Cedar Roach King paused and asked, "Then are you interested in exchanging? Sensing Origin Power veins, this kind of perception enhancement can play a crucial role in battle, you understand, right?"

Banbu asked, "How do we exchange?"

The Snow Cedar Roach King said, "One to one, exchanged according to the amount to enhance one warrior. No one will lose out."
