Astral Cockroach

Any large tribe that is qualified to be promoted to a bug king must nurture at least one divinely bestowed seed of great value.

These bug kings cannot die easily.

There is an example right now. The Wax Jambu Ghost King and the Hibiscus Butterfly King of Chiwu Mountain, who are about to enter their twilight years, are taking advantage of the time before they enter their twilight years to travel the continent, visit prosperous counties, and see different customs.

In the future, when they enter their twilight years, they will stay in Chiwu Mountain and enter a state of semi-hibernation, reducing their life activities and minimizing their metabolism. In this way, they will extend their survival time as much as possible.

Living an extra year means that the divinely bestowed seed associated with it can bring more wealth to the tribe.

Many such bugs are hidden in Chiwu Mountain.

… …

“The time of our existence in Chiwu Mountain is too long to be investigated. The experience of our predecessors has passed down a tradition… The main responsibility of each generation or several generations of Chiwu Mountain masters is to choose a plant and lead a group of subordinates to cultivate and open up a new sea of trees.”

“I chose bamboo. In the future, Leizhu will take over the position of Chiwu Mountain Master and inherit the title of Chiwu Ghost King. It will continue to guide its subordinates to develop and expand the bamboo forest and manage it to maturity.”

“The previous Chiwu Ghost King of our Chiwu Mountain did not choose bamboo, nor any of the existing six major tree seas, but the very common apricot tree. Because it was impossible to find a native species of extremely high quality and cultivate high-quality derivative species, it was considered a failure and had to be abandoned.”

Chiwu Ghost King recounted.

Banbu listened, gently moving his antennae. Chiwu Mountain is surrounded by bamboo forests. There are apricot orchards, but they are not large in scale. The last time they couldn't find Longzhu bamboo, they shoveled off a lot of bamboo species. It seemed that they were planning to replace them with apricot trees. It can be imagined that Chiwu Mountain had not completely given up. At that time, they were still swaying back and forth between bamboo and apricot trees.

Chiwu Ghost King continued: “Although the previous Chiwu Ghost King did not cultivate an excellent apricot tree species that could serve as a symbolic plant, by chance, he obtained a ‘divine’ apricot tree divinely bestowed seed, named ‘Double Star’.”

“The unique strengthening effect, specifically, Lord Banbu, you have already seen it.”

Seen it? Banbu was confused and looked forward to the following.

Chiwu Ghost King said: “Double Star is not a divine gift from outside the sky, but a natural birth, unique and unparalleled. The tree is short, blooms once every twenty-two years, condenses twenty-two apricot fruits, eleven mixed yellow, eleven silver-white, in pairs, two combined into one. It must be a mountain master-level or higher warrior who has awakened elemental abilities to use it. After use, there is a certain probability of awakening a second elemental ability on the original basis.”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “For example, I originally awakened the metal ability, and later obtained the earth and stone ability. Lord Banbu, you should have seen other warriors who also possess metal and earth and stone abilities in Chiwu Mountain, right?”

“I’ve seen it.” Banbu nodded his antennae and asked, “I’ve also seen warriors from the Narrow Butterfly Tribe who possess both lightning and water elemental abilities. I originally thought they were as gifted as me and born that way, but I didn’t expect…”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “Those are all the effects of Double Star Apricot.”

Banbu asked: “Is it specific? Your Ghost Mantis Tribe will originally awaken both earth and stone and metal abilities, while our Red Ant Tribe only awakens fire abilities.”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “We have tried it with other tribes, divided into two categories. Similar to our Ghost Mantis Tribe, tribes that awaken two elemental abilities are fixed and will not change, and the success rate is very high. In addition, there are tribes similar to the Narrow Butterfly and Red Ant Tribes, which only awaken one elemental ability. The second elemental ability is randomly generated, but the success rate is slightly lower.”

Banbu looked at Lord Leizhu.

Lord Leizhu said awkwardly: “You can only eat it once. I was unlucky and didn’t succeed.”

Banbu asked: “What’s the probability?”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “The yield is very low. It has always been eaten by our Chiwu Mountain’s Ghost Mantis and Narrow Butterfly warriors. On average, the success rate of Ghost Mantis warriors is eighty to ninety percent, and the success rate of Narrow Butterfly warriors is fifty to sixty percent.”

The matter of probability is difficult to say for sure.

Chiwu Ghost King will definitely exaggerate slightly.

Eighty to ninety percent, that’s mostly eight, which is an 80% success rate.

Fifty to sixty percent, that’s mostly five, which is a 50% success rate.

It shouldn’t be too low, otherwise Chiwu Mountain wouldn’t keep things so tightly under wraps, and they weren’t even willing to tell us in the beginning.

Chiwu Ghost King said: “One Double Star Apricot in exchange for one Longzhu Bamboo fruit. This is a fair exchange. The apricot fruit will happen to have a maturity period next summer. If you agree, Lord Banbu, we can take out all of this year’s yield for exchange.”

Banbu hesitated and said: “This… I have to carefully consider this.”

Awakening two elemental abilities has various benefits, no doubt.

Exchanging them back and giving them to the Lizhu Peak members to try, succeeding with one is a win.

However, failing with one is a blood loss of 10 million!

Last time, exchanging Leizhu’s divinely bestowed seed for Chongmu’s divinely bestowed seed, they had already suffered a big loss once.

Banbu was a little cowardly.

Chiwu Ghost King asked: “Lord Banbu, is there anything else you need to know?”

Banbu asked: “Can county master-level warriors eat it? Or is it specific to mountain master-level warriors?”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “Only mountain master and county master-level warriors can. Advanced warriors definitely can’t, and bug king-level warriors can’t either.”

Banbu asked again: “Can beast warriors eat it?”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “This has not been tried.”

“Understood.” Banbu said: “There are no other problems. I hope to exchange more Ghost Mist Lotus.”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “There will be many days to come. Lizhu Peak’s Giant Dragon Bamboo divinely bestowed seed will produce bamboo fruit more than once, and Chiwu Mountain’s divinely bestowed seed is not the last time either. We can exchange them slowly. Double Star Apricot is different. The flowering and fruiting cycle is as long as 22 years. If you miss this time, there may not be so many opportunities in the future.”

Banbu had heard from the caravan that the Chiwu Ghost King in front of him had lived for more than 500 years and was almost at retirement age. It can be inferred that the previous Chiwu Ghost King’s lifespan was not much longer.

The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

When a bug dies, its life seed also dies. Double Star Apricot, like Longevity Peach, has entered the final countdown stage of production.

Banbu said: “I understand. I will consider it and give you an accurate answer before I leave Chiwu Mountain this time.”

“Okay.” Chiwu Ghost King agreed, and then said: “If Lizhu Peak is willing, we can also appropriately spend raw stones to purchase Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit.”

Banbu said directly: “10 million.”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “Then let’s still exchange.”

It can be seen that Chiwu Mountain, which owns nine large-scale ore veins, is extremely unwilling to let raw stones circulate to the outside world. Not only do they not mine the ore veins, but every year, the surplus raw stones produced in the territory are used to backfill the mines dug by their predecessors.

Seemingly rich and generous, they are actually very stingy with raw stones and are unwilling to use them easily.

Banbu determined that they would not give too high a price, so he simply did not ask any more questions.

Chiwu Ghost King said: “Lord Banbu, excuse me for speaking frankly, it is somewhat unrealistic for you to bring bamboo rat warriors into the Dragon Bamboo Continent to find raw stone ore veins. I do have a proposal that can earn raw stones.”

Banbu said: “Please tell me, Chiwu Ghost King.”

Chiwu Ghost King said: “Help build a trestle road to connect the Illusory Colored Maze. You and that bamboo rat warrior named Rat King the Great both come to help. Chiwu Mountain will do its best to cooperate, no matter how long it takes, we will pay you a reward of 10 million raw stones.”

“This…” Banbu said: “It seems I can’t refuse this.”

The trestle road connecting the Illusory Colored Maze, Chiwu Mountain is planning to treat the Dragon Bamboo Continent as its own back garden!

With another group of warriors who can move freely in the Dragon Bamboo Continent, Chiwu Mountain can enter and exit as they please and slowly look for the plants they want.

Chiwu Mountain has a large number of warriors. With Moso Bamboo mutants and Dragon Bamboo mutants, based on Moso Bamboo and Dragon Bamboo, building a bamboo sea is only a matter of time, and it can be completed quickly.

They are planning to choose the eighth tree species and establish the eighth sea of trees.

The Myriad Race Continent has long been searched countless times, and precious tree species have almost been dug up. The Dragon Bamboo Continent is completely different. It is possible to find precious native species, and it may even be possible to directly find high-quality derivative tree species that warriors have cultivated, especially the Western Regions of the Dragon Bamboo Continent, which also have many new tree species that the Myriad Race Continent does not have.

What Chiwu Mountain needs are southern tropical plants.

What Lizhu Peak needs are subtropical and temperate plants.

There is no conflict of interest between this and Lizhu Peak. A fool doesn’t make money, and Banbu readily agreed.
