Astral Cockroach

Previously, Banbu mistakenly believed that Tata's flowering and fruiting cycle exceeded 800 years. Not wanting to kill it, and seeing that Bai Zhu liked it, he simply left it alone.

But now, that won't do. The flowering and fruiting cycle has been shortened to 3 years! Combined with the strengthening effect of Tata tree fruits, it's a God-given seed with extremely high growth potential and cultivation value!

No discussion needed, it must be moved to a location with more abundant Origin Power and better sunlight.

Tata stubbornly refused to move: I want to live next to Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu even more strongly disagreed: This is my God-given seed! Didn't you say you didn't want it?

In the end, Baba offered a more reasonable suggestion: The high altitude on the mountain means the temperature is slightly lower, which is not suitable for Tata's survival. Move it slightly upwards, past the Blood Thorn Thicket, within the protection range of the Blood Thorn Thicket.

They immediately started construction.

First, the soil of Lizhu Peak is fertile enough, but its moisture retention is a bit too strong, which is not suitable for Tata. A large growth area was demarcated, and a giant pit was dug out. Sandy soil with poor water storage capacity was excavated from the foot of the mountain to backfill the pit. In addition, a large number of small pieces of Boundary Tree wreckage were mixed in to provide the advanced nutrients needed for its growth.

Under Baba's guidance, the members on the mountain were mobilized, and it was all completed in five busy days.

Finally, a circular drainage ditch was built to prevent water accumulation during heavy rains.

For occasional irrigation, do not use swamp water. Only use swamp residue mixed with Boundary Tree wreckage ground into powder in a certain proportion, burying it near the roots.

Moving to the new home.

When asked about Tata's condition, the answer was two words: Comfortable.

The direct result was that after three days of continuous observation, the growth of the Tata tree had obviously improved again.

In fact, the Tata tree species itself has super adaptability. It can survive the long, nearly 200-day-long extremely cold nights, and it can survive the nearly 200-day-long hot days. It is a very rare tenacious life form in the universe.

With its basic physique in place, and with Baba's guidance, its growth status gradually entered "Good", and there was a tendency to improve to "Excellent", making it the life form with the best condition on Lizhu Peak, unique and unparalleled.

… …

Banbu took Baba and told her the names of various Origin Power foods, and together they numbered them according to human habits.

It took another half month to take Baba into the jungle to learn about the various plants and animals on this planet, mainly to collect gene information and enter it into the database.

Next was a long calculation process, which was very power-consuming, and the power supply system couldn't keep up with the demand at all.

Banbu led the Lizhu Peak members to continue making iron, and built the third wind power station before the dry season.

Before, it felt like there was a lot of wind, but when it was really needed, it was discovered that the time with wind was really too little.

If there is less wind, then we can only build more, and generate more electricity when there is wind.

… …

Snow Peak Jinlan matured.

It was time for the annual melon-eating season.

Banbu invited the Flame Cluster Spotted Reed, Putao, Iron Saber Mountain Master, and all the members of Iron Saber Mountain.

They gathered in the trading square at the foot of the mountain to eat melons together.

At the same time, there was another significant event: a small warrior born in the Fire Thorn Territory advanced to an L4 elementary warrior, and it was time to choose a favorite plant.

This little warrior will be separated from Lizhu Peak and go to other peaks to survive.

It will take the first step in Lizhu Peak's outward expansion!

If it likes bamboo, it will expand southward along the bamboo forest.

If it likes other plants, it will expand northwest along the mountain range.

The caravan purchased 6 Python-patterned Honey Melons in the spring, and Banbu specially kept one, refrigerating it on the peak until now.

The thick amber juice shell was peeled open, and it was preserved quite well.

Among those present, the Iron Saber Mountain Master was the most senior, so it cut it open.

The sweet and fragrant melon aroma permeated, and abundant Origin Power overflowed.

The little warrior, lazily shrinking at the foot of the Fire Thorn, immediately perked up its antennae, flapped its wing membranes, and ran quickly towards the honey melon.

"Haha!"

The Iron Saber Mountain Master laughed heartily, cut off a very small piece, and carefully handed it to the little fellow.

The little warrior hugged the honey melon and gnawed wildly.

The Iron Saber Mountain Master quickly cut and began to divide the melon, while asking: "Who just said this little fellow was stupid? If it knows to grab food, then it's quite smart!"

"Red Rice said it," Du Zhu muttered.

Red Rice said indifferently: "Look for yourselves."

When everyone refocused their attention on the little warrior, they were all dumbfounded: This little fellow eats too fast, right? For its petite body, that piece of melon wasn't small, and in the blink of an eye, even the skin was gone?

The little warrior wobbled unsteadily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Rat King turned his head and instructed: "Jin Zhu, get a leaf over here."

Banbu also shouted: "Big Head, quickly get some jerky down from the mountain."

"Okay." Big Head waved its antennae and directed the worker ants to act.

Jin Zhu flashed into the nearby forest, rummaged around, and brought back a rotten leaf, placing it in front of the little warrior.

The dazed little warrior seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, hugging the leaf and gnawing wildly.

After eating the whole leaf, its mental state still didn't improve. It drooped its antennae, silently crawled towards the Fire Thorn, lay in the shadows, and fell asleep.

Banbu scanned with his mental power and said: "It's okay, it just ate too much and fell asleep. It'll be fine after a nap. Let's continue eating."

Red Rice chuckled: "I told you, right?"

Banbu scolded: "Red Rice, go up the mountain and bring down the Snow Peak Jinlan!"

The Iron Saber Mountain Master was embarrassed, and waved its antennae, saying: "Let's continue eating."

The overall strength of Lizhu Peak's members is not what it used to be. There are 6 warriors at the Mountain Master level present. Dividing a Python-patterned Honey Melon is just a small snack, easily wiped out.

The Snow Peak Jinlan was brought down, and each was given one to eat heartily.

The Iron Saber Mountain Master waved its antennae, pointed to the sleeping little warrior, and asked: "Banbu, what plant do you hope it likes?"

Banbu said: "Of course it's bamboo. The expansion of the bamboo forest must have a sufficient number of warriors to help manage it."

The Iron Saber Mountain Master agreed: "The prosperity of Lizhu Peak today is mostly due to the bamboo plant."

Banbu suddenly remembered and asked the Flame Cluster Spotted Reed: "Flame Cluster Spotted Reed, how is the progress of the Youzhu Bamboo Rice project? Was there a harvest last year?"

The Flame Cluster Spotted Reed said dejectedly: "The Drooping Fig County has developed rapidly in recent years, and has the largest number of young warriors. Last year, we prioritized the trial in Drooping Fig County. The Drooping Fig County Master strongly supported this matter, but most warriors were unwilling to accept our agreement. They think you continuously extracting 10% of their income for 20 years… is a bit too ruthless."

The Iron Saber Mountain Master said: "Banbu, your approach to the Youzhu Bamboo Rice project is probably a thankless task!"

"There will always be warriors who agree, right? They should understand that I am subsidizing Origin Stones to help everyone." Banbu said: "The Red Ant Tribe has more than 5,000 warriors, and a large number of small warriors are born every year. The yield of Youzhu Bamboo Rice is so low that we only worry about not having enough, not about not being able to send it out."

The Flame Cluster Spotted Reed said: "This year, I have already discussed with the Bitter Citrus Mountain Master and the Flower Hill County Master to implement it in the Red Tangerine and Blue Oak mountain ranges at the same time. Preliminary statistics show that a total of 47 warriors have agreed."

Banbu said: "In our Red Ant Tribe, County Master Yuli is an elder with more seniority than Red Armor Ant King. Her branch has a larger population. County Master Yuli has approached me, hoping to get more Youzhu Bamboo Rice."

The Flame Cluster Spotted Reed immediately said: "Then I will ask when I go to Yuli County to trade this winter."

"Okay, there's no need to rush this matter at all. As long as one warrior uses Origin Power induction to find a God-given seed, Youzhu Bamboo Rice will become exceptionally popular." Banbu shook its antennae and greeted: "There is still a durian from the Southern Continent stored on the mountain. We must finish eating it today. Let's take a short rest and continue."
