Astral Cockroach

Regardless, Banbu felt that Feng Ling was pushing her luck by practically taking up permanent residence on Bluebell Peak. In the past, she would at least return to her territory in the spring to check on things, but now she didn't even bother.

Feng Ling's territory had consistently been looked after by Big Head and Dragon Bamboo. This spring, a new warrior was unexpectedly born, having grown up with no insect management, making it a wild warrior.

Upon hearing the news, Feng Ling returned, intending to take the little warrior away, but the entire membership of Lizhu Peak joined forces to stop her: 'Bluebell Peak is full of that broken stuff, this little warrior will definitely be corrupted if he goes there.'

Banbu unceremoniously claimed the little warrior for himself.

Normally, there wasn't much work to do, which was quite boring. Playing with a little warrior made things less dull.

Entering summer.

Snow Peak Gold Orchid was entering its maturity period and could be harvested in a couple of days.

The morning sunlight was exceptionally bright and beautiful.

The little warrior woke up from slumber in Banbu's cave, having just completed its molting evolution and advanced to a Level 4 Primary Warrior. It had now recovered.

"Let's go, I'll take you out to play," Banbu greeted, waving its antennae. It was almost time for the little fellow to choose a plant it liked, so Banbu planned to take it to play in front of the God-given Dragon Bamboo Seed to cultivate its affection for bamboo.

The little warrior was very well-behaved, directly flapping its wings and landing on Banbu's head.

Daily inspection of the mountain peak territory.

Ordinary fate-seeded plants were given a cursory glance, while the God-given seeds were chatted with their tree spirits.

The territory of the Oil Tea.

Oil Tea lazily lay on a pile of silk sacks.

Currently, the Oil Tea could condense about 6,000 tea fruits each year, bringing Banbu nearly 100,000 origin stones annually. The yield was still growing, and the income was increasing year by year.

Oil Tea had also saved up more than 110,000 origin stones, soon reaching 120,000.

"Oil Tea, good morning!"

"Oil Tea, good morning!" Banbu greeted in turn.

Oil Tea gently wagged its tail, raised its eyelids for a glance, considering it a greeting, and continued to squint its eyes, enjoying the morning sun.

"Banbu."

"Banbu," the Oil Tea tree spirit responded indifferently.

Perhaps because of its increased strength, the little warrior was not as afraid of Oil Tea as before. It curiously stared at it, mustered its courage, flapped its wings, and landed on a silk sack.

Waving its antennae, it gently touched Oil Tea.

Oil Tea was too lazy to pay attention.

The little warrior grew bolder, straining its neck to observe the God-given Oil Tea seed.

Lowering its head, with a "shirr" sound, it opened a silk sack.

A large pocket full of origin stones.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

The little warrior exclaimed repeatedly, mustered all its strength, picked up a piece, facing the morning sun, smacked its lips, looking somewhat infatuated.

"Origin stone!"

The little warrior then faced Banbu, shouting with exerted mind power.

Banbu was horrified: What was this reaction? Normal warriors like a certain kind of plant, you don't actually like origin stones, do you?

It quickly calmed down, thinking carefully. It was unlikely, at most it was like Oil Tea, greedy for money.

A greedy red ant little warrior? That was not impossible.

The little fellow seemed to be truly greedy for money, wanting to drag the origin stone off the silk sack.

"Banbu!" Oil Tea's tree spirit was already giving face by tolerating the little warrior touching its origin stones. Seeing that this little fellow still wanted to move its origin stones away, it immediately exploded, roaring:

"Banbu, quickly get it away!"

"Oil Tea, you get it away!"

Feeling the Oil Tea tree spirit's rage, Oil Tea also bristled.

The silk sack was a bit slippery, and the little warrior lost its balance, rolling to the ground with the origin stone, scrambling to its feet, struggling to hold up the origin stone, but was pressed down by a cat's paw descending from the sky.

Oil Tea lightly flicked its claws, pushing the little warrior away, picking up the origin stone, putting it back into the silk sack, and closing the bag.

The little warrior was badly frightened, turning around and quickly running towards Banbu, climbing up Banbu's middle leg onto Banbu's carapace, then scrambling up to its forehead.

"Banbu!"

"Origin stone!"

The little warrior was excited and somewhat afraid, shouting twice, running out of strength, and silently趴 lying on Banbu's head.

Sure enough, it was a little miser.

Banbu found it somewhat funny, explaining: "That's Oil Tea's origin stone, you can't take it."

"Take it away! Take it away!"

"Annoying fellow! Banbu, I hate it! Don't bring it to my territory again!"

Oil Tea entered berserk mode, frantically transmitting angry thoughts to Banbu.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave now, I won't bring it over again." Banbu replied dejectedly, turning around and slowly leaving.

The newest novel is first published at Six 9 Books!

The little warrior turned around, looking up at the God-given Oil Tea seed, and then looking down at the mountain of origin stones, shaking its antennae vigorously.

When Banbu walked down the mountain and entered the bamboo forest, the little fellow regained its strength and suddenly shouted with mind power: "Oil Tea!"

"Oil Tea?!" Banbu was startled by the sudden mind power and jumped up.

The little warrior flapped its wings, flew into the bamboo forest, peeled open a bamboo leaf, caught the bamboo leaf caterpillar inside, ate it,趴 lying on the bamboo leaf,酝酿 brewed for a while, and laboriously shouted: "I like Oil Tea tree!"

"… …"

It's not bamboo.

Banbu felt like dying.

Early in the morning, it had eaten too much to bring it to Oil Tea's territory.

… …

Before Lizhu Peak's annual melon tasting party, the little warrior chose a plant it liked in advance.

The Oil Tea plant was not very good. According to humans' classification of plants, it was a group, the Oil Tea group, under the Camellia subgenus of the Camellia genus.

There were very few Oil Tea varieties. Currently, Banbu knew only 5 native species and 2 derived species, with narrow selectivity. It was also only a small to medium-sized tree with little potential for development. It was also difficult to cultivate, with strict requirements for sunlight, temperature, and humidity, making it difficult to plant on a large scale, and not suitable for developing a large tree sea.

Overall, the Oil Tea tree was a tree species with worrying development prospects and low cultivation value.

Banbu named the little warrior 'Camellia'.

Camellia was a rare red ant warrior who was particularly greedy for money and also relatively intelligent. Banbu liked it quite a bit and spent more thought on considering its future development.

Currently, Lizhu Peak was expanding to the northwest and had successfully developed four peaks: Crown Pear Peak, Fragrant Torreya Peak, Green Oak Peak, and Jasper Peach Peak.

Green Oak Peak was the most powerful, possessing a promising tree-like God-given seed. Regardless of whether it liked Green Oak's personality or not, logically and emotionally, Banbu had to do its best to support its growth. Other warriors were hard to say, but Green Oak would definitely be promoted to County Lord.

Born in the wild, it knew to seek the protection of the fierce cat warrior Suocao and cooperate for development when it was weak. Green Oak looked greedy, playful, and somewhat reckless when it was young, but as it grew, it slowly showed its excellence. Like Banbu, it was very flexible in dealing with matters, somewhat slick but also with a fierce determination.

A very good personality, and in the future, Green Oak Peak would also become another mainstay besides Lizhu Peak.

Where should Camellia be arranged to go?

Banbu thought for two days, and then took Camellia around the mountain range for a circle, carefully considering it, and decided to arrange it on Cloud Mist Peak at the junction of the Jinping Mountain Range and the Jinping Plateau.

Cloud Mist Peak was a majestic mountain famous in the Eastern Region. Rapid rivers and streams cut through the mountain valleys, flowing into the Jin River. In many places, water vapor was abundant and sunlight was sufficient, naturally growing many Oil Tea trees. There was even a wild Oil Tea tree born there, but it was destroyed by beast warriors.

The only drawback was that the mountain was slightly steep and the concentration of origin power was average, so it was not a very ideal place to settle.

Banbu's considerations were two:

First, Bluebell Peak had developed very well in recent years, with the number of warriors reaching 9, plus Feng Ling, who stayed there all year round, could be considered 10. In the future, it would be promoted to a county, and the two mountain ranges would merge, so it was important to get in touch early, interact more, and become familiar with the relationship.

Second, next, warriors born in the Jinping Mountain Range would begin to develop from Cloud Mist Peak in the opposite direction towards Lizhu Peak. The purpose of doing this was very simple, Banbu planned to give the warriors of Green Oak, Jasper Peach, and other peaks some time to develop.

The bamboo sea of Lizhu Peak would only retain warriors who liked bamboo.

Similarly, warriors who liked oak trees would be sent to Green Oak Peak; warriors who liked peach trees would be sent to Jasper Peach Peak; warriors who liked pear trees would be sent to Crown Pear Peak… Warriors outside of these tree species would be sent to other peaks to continue developing the peaks.

If a certain peak developed and found or cultivated a particularly high-quality tree species, it would need to consider opening up a slightly larger tree sea, and long-term considerations would require reserving a large area of land.

Currently, Banbu was most optimistic about Green Oak, followed by Crown Pear.
