Astral Cockroach

Searching for plant species, novelty and rarity alone are useless. Only those that, after being nurtured into a lifeblood species, come with some kind of strengthening effect can be included in the ranks of "precious" plant species.

Among all the plant species in the world, tall trees are the best choice for lifeblood species. The vision of Chiwu Mountain must be to look for tall trees and screen for precious tree species.

Tall trees are not difficult to find.

The next search plan is slightly modified: The distance between the Liting Tribe warriors is halved, that is, 1 kilometer apart, and the flight altitude is reduced by half, down to about 150 meters.

Fly at low altitude, carefully identify each tall tree. If you have never seen it before, and the inherited memory does not record it, collect the seeds, collect an appropriate amount of soil, and bring it back for cultivation.

This decision has the meaning of additional investment, and it also has a stop-loss effect.

What if you are lucky enough to find a top-level precious tree species? Chiwu Mountain's investment will be earned. Based on this, you can start planning to cultivate the Seventh Tree Sea.

If you are even luckier and find Dragon Bamboo, that would be perfect.

If you are unlucky, even if you find a few relatively good new tree species, it can reduce losses to a certain extent.

With more choices and possibilities, the probability of earning increases and losses decrease.

50 million raw stones are used up, and another 50 million raw stones will be invested next. Banbu feels distressed and bleeds when he sees it. What if nothing is accomplished? He couldn't bear it, so he made this suggestion.

… …

"Mountain Lord Banbu, our main purpose next is to find Dragon Bamboo." Chiwu Ghost King said: "Only the Western Region of Dragon Bamboo Continent is left. Let's start earlier next year and try to finish before spring. No matter what the result, the warriors involved in this matter can return to the territory in time, and the territory management cannot be abandoned."

Banbu agreed: "I understand, I will come earlier next year."

"Are you going back?" Guanli had been perking up her antennae to listen. Hearing this, she couldn't help but speak, feeling a little reluctant. She flapped her wings and landed on the head of the Begonia Butterfly King.

The Begonia Butterfly King also loves the smart and clever Guanli very much. Guanli is currently a level 9 elementary warrior. The lifeblood species she nurtured are all top-level tree species carefully selected from the Magnolia Tree Sea managed by Chiwu Mountain.

Magnolia, this kind of tall tree, likes hot and humid conditions, and is also resistant to severe cold and drought. Guanli made a big profit by running this trip.

The Begonia Butterfly King suggested: "Mountain Lord Banbu, you can let Guanli stay in Chiwu Mountain. Just take her lifeblood species back, sow them in autumn, and let other warriors help manage them first. Begonias grow relatively slowly, and it won't be too late to transplant them to Guanli's territory in two years."

"Banbu! Banbu!" Guanli called out expectantly.

"This… maybe it's okay." Banbu warned solemnly: "Guanli, you are not allowed to be naughty in Chiwu Mountain, understand?"

"Understood!" Guanli cheered, guaranteeing: "I am the best behaved."

Staying in Chiwu Mountain is definitely beneficial and harmless. Continuing to mooch the high-quality tree species of the Chiwu Mountain Tree Sea, every extra one mooched is a big profit.

Chiwu Ghost King said: "Mountain Lord Banbu, the first stage, the search for Dragon Bamboo, failed. In the second stage, I will privately take out 50 million raw stones to continue. The details of our cooperation may have major changes."

Banbu knew that Chiwu Mountain's increased investment would definitely add conditions to Lizhu Peak. However, Lizhu Peak is clean and white, and it seems that there is nothing that can be offered.

"Chiwu Ghost King, please instruct."

Chiwu Ghost King said: "As we expected, next, the Liting Tribe is unwilling to simply work for wages. Once Dragon Bamboo is found, they also want to take a share."

"The specific distribution method is that the Liting Tribe does not participate in the management of the bamboo sea. We will provide them with 2,000 hybrid seeds of hemp bamboo and dragon bamboo every year. But rest assured, the bamboo seeds can only be nurtured into lifeblood species by Liting Tribe warriors and will not be sold to the outside world. The Liting Tribe is an affiliated tribe of the Ghost Wasp Kingdom and will not cause any problems."

Banbu nodded his antennae and said, "2,000 is not too much, acceptable."

Chiwu Ghost King continued: "It costs too much for us in Chiwu Mountain to cultivate bamboo seeds, induce flowering, and carry out hybridization. Therefore, Mountain Lord Banbu, I have another request. In the future, your Lizhu Peak will also need to provide us with 3,000 bamboo seeds every year."

Sure enough, Chiwu Mountain thought of a way to induce bamboo to flower even when there is no dry season. The experimental location is not near Chiwu Mountain. I just didn't see it.

Chiwu Ghost King said: "Mountain Lord Banbu, Lizhu Peak has a natural dry season every year. With the assistance of the Red Ring Acid Bee, helping to cultivate 5,000 bamboo seeds, is this not a difficult task?"

Banbu said: "Not difficult."

Chiwu Ghost King emphasized: "It must be the best seeds after careful screening."

"That's for sure." Banbu asked: "Chiwu Ghost King, what about the time limit?"

"Forever." Chiwu Ghost King said: "As long as Chiwu Mountain is here, and Lizhu Peak is here, this agreement must continue to be fulfilled."

The scale of the bee colony commanded by Xiangfei is limited, and the number of ordinary seeds that can be cultivated each year is limited.

This is equivalent to Lizhu Peak losing 5,000 seeds of trade income every year, which is only 2,500 raw stone income according to the current pricing.

The small amount of income lost is nothing, the problem is the "forever" time limit…

"Okay." Banbu nodded his antennae in agreement after careful consideration, and then gently shook his antennae, saying: "I hope that after me, Lizhu Peak can exist forever."

Chiwu Ghost King said: "If you find Dragon Bamboo, the bamboo sea you plan to build will have a soul. With Dragon Bamboo, the bamboo sea can always prosper, and with the bamboo sea prospering, your Lizhu Peak can also prosper forever."

The Begonia Butterfly King also said: "Precious plant species are the foundation of a tribe's survival. God-given species are destined not to be too many, and can only make a small number of warriors rich. A wide variety of high-quality plant species can make every warrior in the tribe live relatively well."

"A tribe cannot just have a worm king. Most warriors must be able to grow to the mountain lord level on their own. This way, the tribe will not have the crisis of extinction."

Chiwu Ghost King said: "We in Chiwu Mountain have been planning to build the Seventh Tree Sea. I have chosen bamboo species. If we find Dragon Bamboo, we can build it on a large scale. If we can't find it…"

The newest and most complete novels are all available on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

The Begonia Butterfly King took over the conversation and said: "Then, Chiwu Ghost King's efforts in this life will be in vain, and Chiwu Mountain will look for other types of high-quality plant species again."

If Dragon Bamboo is found, everything will be easy to say.

If Dragon Bamboo cannot be found… the topic becomes heavy.

Chiwu Mountain's ultra-high standard is that the bamboo sea must have Dragon Bamboo, the top-level bamboo species recorded in the inherited memory, otherwise it is not worth spending insect power and financial resources to develop.

After chatting for a while, Banbu went down the mountain, rested for two days, and prepared to return to Lizhu Peak first.

… …

King Rat stayed behind to transport primal force food to the other side of the Rainbow Maze intermittently.

Camellia and Princess Maple Yang both stayed behind to continue wandering in the Western Region of the Dragon Bamboo Continent, looking for high-quality tree species. There is no need to hand over the tree species found to Chiwu Mountain. Lizhu Peak and Princess Maple Yang share the benefits equally. This was proposed by Banbu. In return, no matter the result, Banbu will additionally pay Princess Maple Yang 200,000 raw stones as remuneration.

Last year, the Camellia and Princess Maple Yang combination successfully found dozens of traces of insect race warriors living in the past, confirming that the Dragon Bamboo Continent was once a rich land full of natural primal force. Later, the primal force must have been exhausted.

This is also a heavy topic. From this, it can be inferred that one day, the Myriad Kingdoms Continent and the Myriad Races Continent will also exhaust their primal force, and all races will wither and die. Knowing the answer, everyone tacitly chooses to keep it in their hearts and avoid talking about it.

Banbu and Princess Iron Tallow traveled together and returned to Lizhu Peak.

Princess Iron Tallow is a little worried about the little ant king named "Strong" in her territory. She is going back to take a look and will come back next year.

Banbu carried a small spider silk bag, which contained three bamboo tubes. One bamboo tube contained Guanli's lifeblood species, and the other two contained 200 seeds of a vine plant whose tubers were hemispherical and cracked like tortoise shells.

Banbu named this plant "Tortoise Shell Vine."

Regarding the Tortoise Shell Vine, Banbu also has an important piece of information that he did not tell the Chiwu Ghost King. It was seen by Camellia with her own eyes and she wisely chose to keep it secret. Even Princess Maple Yang does not know.

The tubers of this vine plant are only a few centimeters in diameter when small, and twenty or thirty centimeters when large. There are even larger ones. Camellia discovered a hemispherical tuber with a diameter of more than 5 meters, corresponding to a vine length of more than 100 meters, clinging to tall trees in the nearby area for survival.

The 200 seeds collected by Camellia, 100 of them came from ordinary small tubers, and the other 100 came from large tubers.

They are searching northward, the climate is not so hot, bring them back and try them, maybe they can be planted alive in Lizhu Peak.

Banbu suspects that the small-tubered Tortoise Shell Vine is the native species, and the large-tubered Tortoise Shell Vine should be a precious derivative species cultivated by a certain insect tribe that once lived on the Dragon Bamboo Continent. It can be seen that the vitality of this plant species is strong enough to survive in the cruel natural world.

Native species are born in the natural world itself, and it is natural that they can survive in the natural world.

Derivative species are cultivated by insect races, and can be said to be "pampered." They are precious and high-quality, but their natural survival ability is very weak. Once they leave the help of insect race warriors, without insect race warriors to weed, fertilize, and water them, they will soon be submerged and eliminated by other plants in nature.
