Astral Cockroach

The large bamboo forest directly south of Bamboo Peak had been completely replaced with Dragon Bamboo, along with a small number of Giant Dragon No. 0 seed strains. These were all towering and tall bamboo species, gathered together, stretching out as far as the eye could see, verdant and boundless. Standing at the mountain range trading square and looking out from a slight distance, it was impossible to visually distinguish the existence of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed.

Banbu crawled on the ground with Princess Qiufeng, following the trestle road, twisting and turning, until they arrived in front of the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed.

“This is…” Princess Qiufeng looked around, utterly shocked.

Dragon Bamboo was already very tall.

She had heard the news that Giant Dragon Bamboo was obtained by hybridizing Ma Bamboo and Dragon Bamboo. Along the way, viewing the Giant Dragon No. 0 seed strain up close, she already felt it was unbelievable.

However, compared to the bamboo forest in front of her, the Giant Dragon No. 0 seed strain was still much shorter.

Without a doubt, this was a God-Given Seed!

Up close, without needing to scan with mental power, the primal force aura released by the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed was already very clear.

It was definitely not an ordinary God-Given Seed!

“Banbu, could this be a ‘divine-grade’ God-Given Seed that you have nurtured into a seed strain?”

“That’s right, it’s called Giant Dragon Bamboo. I am currently at the County Princess level, and the bamboo fruit produced by this Giant Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed has a quality infinitely close to the Longevity Peach. Several insect kings from Red Crow Mountain have personally seen it and confirmed that it strengthens overall power and can greatly increase the success rate of advancing to Roach King.”

“Red Crow Mountain…” Princess Qiufeng murmured. News of interactions between Bamboo Peak and Red Crow Mountain had been circulating for a long time. She had originally wondered why the number one clan in the Southwest Territory was so close to Bamboo Peak.

So that was the reason!

The Black and White Flower Roach tribe warriors were all relatively flexible in their thinking. Princess Qiufeng quickly guessed that Banbu was able to advance to the County Princess level so quickly and smoothly because he had used the Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit to exchange for something equally “divine-grade” from Red Crow Mountain in advance.

Princess Qiufeng noticed that the Giant Dragon Tree Spirit had no rejection towards her. She couldn't help but spread out her mental power to scan the bamboo poles. Immediately after, she was pleasantly surprised and exclaimed somewhat失态: “Banbu, the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-Given Seed has fruited!”

Giant Dragon Bamboo had fruited.

Banbu had specifically invited her over, saying that he had important matters to discuss.

Bamboo Peak was currently in short supply of origin stones.

With a little thought, Princess Qiufeng understood that she had a share of the Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit!

Princess Qiufeng, and even the entire Black and White Flower Roach tribe, could not come up with something of equal value to exchange. That must mean buying with origin stones.

Princess Qiufeng took the initiative to suggest: “Banbu, I can buy a share of the Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit for five million origin stones.”

As expected, the insects were foolish and rich. Banbu was secretly pleased and said: “Princess Qiufeng, don’t be anxious. I invited you over, so you definitely have a share of the Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit. I have other things to tell you.”

Receiving a definite answer, Princess Qiufeng was even more delighted and solemnly said: “Banbu, please speak!”

Banbu said: “Princess Qiufeng, aren’t you very curious about where the Dragon Bamboo, which is recorded in the inherited memories as being extinct, came from?”

“Of course, I’m curious. Inherited memories cannot be wrong.” Princess Qiufeng said: “The Red Crow Ghost King commissioned merchant groups to search for Giant Dragon Bamboo throughout the continent for hundreds of years, but I didn’t expect you to find it.”

If Red Crow Mountain had found the Dragon Bamboo, Bamboo Peak would definitely not have had a share.

On the contrary, it must have been Bamboo Peak that found it and then sold it to Red Crow Mountain.

Banbu said: “In fact, I didn’t find the Dragon Bamboo alone. I have the ability to freely travel through the Iridescent Mist, you know that, right?”

“I saw it with my own eyes in Orchid Mountain Range.” Princess Qiufeng paused and solemnly said: “I heard that west of the Western Region, there is another Iridescent Mist that even merchant groups cannot cross. Could it be that you are… Did you find the Dragon Bamboo on the continent opposite the Iridescent Mist?”

“That’s about the idea.” Banbu moved his antennae and said: “We named the continent on the other side ‘Dragon Bamboo Continent’. In fact, the Dragon Bamboo wasn’t found on Dragon Bamboo Continent. I crossed Dragon Bamboo Continent again, traveled through another Iridescent Mist, and was fortunate enough to discover it on another more distant continent.”

“…” Princess Qiufeng was again shocked beyond words. How far did you guys run? How many continents are there in this world?

Princess Qiufeng then became curious again and asked: “Banbu, what is west of the Western Region? Insect tribes? Or beast tribes? Are they hostile and reject us? Or can we communicate friendly?”

“Neither, there’s nothing.” Banbu solemnly said: “There is no natural primal force there, not a trace of primal force. It is impossible to give birth to warriors, and our insect tribe warriors will have difficulty moving even a single step.”

“No natural primal force?” Princess Qiufeng’s interest plummeted, and she felt a chill and asked with difficulty: “No primal force… That’s impossible, right?”

Banbu said: “That’s just the way it is. The greatest function of the Iridescent Mist is to isolate primal force.”

Princess Qiufeng fell into contemplation. After a long while, she nodded her antennae and said: “I understand. This news must not be spread around indiscriminately.”

Princess Qiufeng didn’t understand what Banbu meant by telling her all this.

Banbu continued: “Besides the lack of primal force, Dragon Bamboo Continent is extremely similar to our Myriad Race Continent in all other aspects, including various plants and animals… Especially the Western Region, the geographical environment is very special, containing many species that are not recorded in our inherited memories at all.”

“Turtle Shell Vine!” Princess Qiufeng immediately said, not doubting Banbu’s words at all.

The Turtle Shell Vine seemed to be able to survive well in any environment. Two trees were planted in front of Banbu’s cave.

A few years ago, Mountain Master Huabai thought it was rare and asked for a few seeds. He gave the strange plant, which was not recorded in the inherited memories, to Princess Qiufeng as a tribute.

“Yes, the Turtle Shell Vine was collected from Dragon Bamboo Continent. What I gave to Mountain Master Huabai were native seeds, as well as high-quality derivative species, planted in other places.” Banbu pondered for two seconds and solemnly said: “Insect tribe warriors once lived on Dragon Bamboo Continent, but later, the primal force was exhausted… Those races then declined.”

“This…” Princess Qiufeng shook her antennae, feeling the natural primal force, suddenly feeling somewhat terrified, unable to imagine the exhaustion of primal force, and unable to accept it.

Banbu said: “Our Myriad Race Continent’s primal force is still very abundant. We don’t need to consider things that are far away.”

“I seem to have heard a little that when we advance to the Roach King, we seem to awaken new inherited memories, which seem to be related to this… The Natural True God will guide us to find hope.”

Princess Qiufeng’s tone was slow and heavy. After she finished speaking, she fell silent completely, and after a long while, she continued: “Banbu, what’s on your mind, just say it.”

Banbu said: “Red Crow Mountain once spent massive resources and dispatched a large number of warriors to enter Dragon Bamboo Continent to search for Dragon Bamboo. Princess Qiufeng, you can imagine how difficult that was.”

Princess Qiufeng said: “I can imagine that the Ghost-Faced Locust warriors are not good at flying. They must have established supply stations on the ground, advancing forward little by little.”

“That’s indeed the case.” Banbu nodded his antennae and said: “In the end, the Dragon Bamboo was found by me from another continent.”

Princess Qiufeng was curious and asked: “Banbu, without natural primal force, how did you run so far?”
