Astral Cockroach

Everyone's enthusiasm for the little warrior was indeed less than before.

Learning that a little warrior was about to be born in Banbu's territory, they all came to take a look and then left, each busy with their own affairs.

Banbu guarded the bamboo forest alone.

Five days later, the little fellow successfully awakened. Following its inherited memories, it crawled out of the bamboo forest, guided by vague memories and the scent of its own kind, seeking protection from elders. Upon seeing Banbu, it was immediately startled, desperately flapping its wing veins, and fled back to its hidden nest.

"…" Banbu was stunned. His mental energy was gentle as he called out: "Little fellow, don't be afraid, I am your direct elder."

No response.

"Little fellow, my name is Banbu, Lord of Lizhu Peak, this is my territory."

Still no response.

Banbu scanned with his mental power, carefully examining, and found the newly born little warrior lying in the nest, its six limbs stiff.

Dead?

The aura was still there.

"Just born and already learned… playing dead…"

Banbu was extremely speechless.

After thinking for a while, he flapped his wings and left, entering the mountain range. He hurriedly hunted a wild rabbit and brought it back to the peak.

Using fresh meat to attract it, the little warrior still refused to come out. The little thing was only a few centimeters long, and Banbu's current size made it difficult to forcibly drag it out, fearing he might hurt it.

Moreover, forcibly grabbing it wasn't a solution, but would only make the little warrior more fearful.

Helpless, he commanded the big-headed ants to place a piece of raw meat at the entrance of its nest.

The vigilant little fellow waited for a good half-day before cautiously poking its head out and quickly dragging the food into the nest.

Then, no matter what, it still refused to come out.

Banbu had no choice, estimating that there were no other dangers on the mountain, he could only put it aside for the time being.

For several days in a row, the situation did not improve, and the little fellow was becoming more and more alert. When Banbu was not on the mountain, it would crawl out of the bamboo forest and play everywhere. As soon as Banbu returned, it would immediately hide.

The first raspberry seed of life was still sent by the big-headed worker ants.

Recently, there was nothing else to do, so Banbu simply lay in front of the cave, not going out, and no longer instructing the ant colony to send meat to the little fellow.

Dusk.

He deliberately hunted a Gouju mountain python, chopped it up, and fed it to the ordinary cockroaches in the territory.

The little warrior, who had been eating leaves for a few days, smelled the aroma of meat, and saw Banbu guarding the entrance of the cave. After hesitating for a long time, its mind raced, and it pretended to be one of the ordinary little cockroaches, joining the army of scavengers.

Banbu lay beside it, watching it imitate an ordinary cockroach in a decent manner, eating its fill, and then swaggering back to its little nest among the ordinary little cockroaches, without exposing it.

After repeating this several times, the little warrior became familiar with the color and aura of Banbu's carapace, and was no longer as vigilant as before, each time swaggering over to grab food, and swaggering back to its little nest after eating.

Another half month later, the little warrior entered a deep sleep.

Early morning.

Banbu woke up and found the little warrior hanging upside down at the entrance of the cave, waving its antennae at him in a friendly manner.

The L2 elementary little warrior, with increased awakened inherited memories and growing wisdom, finally recognized Banbu as its direct elder, even though its carapace color was a bit strange.

"Little fellow, come here."

Banbu waved his antennae to signal.

The little warrior flapped its wing veins, landed in front of Banbu, opened its mouth, and spat out the first raspberry seed of life it had just finished nurturing, placing it in front of Banbu.

It was now the height of spring, a great season for planting, and it was urging Banbu to help with the planting.

The seeds were too small.

"Little fellow, you should put the seeds away first, and come with me."

The little warrior put the seeds back into its life sac.

Having just completed its molt and growth, it seemed a little weak.

With a thought, Banbu opened the metal cabinet, and a box of compressed biscuits floated out, picking up a piece with his toe and placing it on the food plate.

He also took out a can of energy drink, opened it, and dripped a little.

After thinking about it.

He also opened a B-series nutrient solution and dripped a drop.

Then he took out a silver fir pine nut to strengthen the physique, peeled it open, and poked off a small piece with his toe, placing it on the food plate.

"Little fellow, are you hungry? Fill your stomach first."

So many strange foods!

Primal Force food from inherited memory!

The little warrior shook its antennae vigorously, releasing happy pheromones, flapped its wing veins, landed on the food plate, first ate the small pine nut, tasted the nutrient solution, the taste was not very good, turned its head, tasted the energy drink, it was delicious, drank it all in one go, and tasted the compressed biscuit, it was delicious.

After eating a few bites of biscuits, it was a little thirsty, and it shook its antennae at Banbu, indicating that it wanted more energy drink.

Banbu lightly tapped his antennae, pointed to the nutrient solution, and said: "This is good for your growth, drink it all."

The little warrior shook its antennae: Not good to drink.

Banbu patiently said: "Your current state is very poor, and the next molt and growth will be dangerous."

The little warrior still shook its antennae: Don't drink.

It simply flapped its wing veins and flew towards the energy drink.

Banbu's mind moved, the drink can flew up from the ground, he caught it with his claws, looked up, and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's gone."

Banbu said, using his metal ability to compress the metal can into a ball, throwing it out of the living cave, and tapped the food plate with his antennae: "Hurry up and drink it."

The little warrior shook its antennae in protest, nibbled a few bites of compressed biscuits, was a little thirsty, and had no choice but to drink the nutrient solution.

After all, it was also a Primal Force creature. After eating something, it recovered from the weakness of molting and evolution after resting for half an hour.

Banbu let it stay on top of his head, carrying it down the mountain.

…

Wind Chime had entered its aging period, and spent most of its time lying motionless at the entrance of the cave every day.

The God-bestowed seed named "Nightingale" grew up, spring was warm, and the flowers bloomed. The deep purple petals were shaped like butterflies, and there were two black eye-shaped spots, which were very beautiful.

The various remnants of Lizhu Peak had been used, they had some effect, but the compatibility was not very high. For this reason, Banbu made a special trip to the Golden Mantis Kingdom, paid some price, and bought a box of compatible "Primal Force Plant Gene Liquid" from the Qinggou Mantis King.

A series of operations greatly enhanced the gene of this Nightingale God-bestowed seed.

Baba had checked it, it would take about 50 years to successfully complete the first molting evolution, the second time would be a bit difficult, and whether it could complete the third molting growth in the future would depend on its good fortune.

"Wind Chime, good morning!"

"Good morning!"

Wind Chime looked at the top of Banbu's head and asked: "Is this the little warrior that was just born in your territory this year?"

Banbu said: "Yes."

Wind Chime asked: "Are you going to keep it on Lizhu Peak?"

"Red Rice and Dragon Bamboo are too busy." Banbu said: "I plan to let this little fellow live next to you, so that it can take care of you in the future."

The little warrior stared at Wind Chime, confirming that it was an elder of the same race, shook its antennae, released pheromones to greet it, and then its eyes were attracted by the Nightingale God-bestowed seed, flapping its wing veins and flying over.

"Oh, the little fellow seems to like Wind Chime flowers very much." Wind Chime cheered up.

Banbu felt something was wrong and shouted in reprimand: "Little fellow, come back!"

The little warrior landed on a Wind Chime flower, buried its head and looked at it, glanced at Banbu, shook its antennae to signal, and then ignored Banbu at all.

"Another disobedient little fellow." Wind Chime said happily: "Banbu, then let it live next to my territory. I don't have much life left, so after I die, it will replace me and settle in my territory."

Wind Chime joked again: "Look, the cave is ready-made, no need to bother digging."

Banbu was about to say something, but saw the little fellow opening its mouth and biting off the stem of a Wind Chime flower, carrying it with its two front claws, desperately flapping its wing veins, and flying towards him.

"This… it's just a flower, is it okay?"

"No, it's okay… anyway, the Wind Chime seeds produced now are not of much value." Wind Chime said stutteringly.

The little warrior landed on top of Banbu's head, happily holding the flower, smelling the fragrance, and looking intoxicated with love.

Banbu felt something was wrong and said: "Wind Chime, the little fellow's seed of life has been nurtured, I'll have Big Head bring a few worker ants over tonight to choose a place to plant it. I'll take it down the mountain for a walk first. Goodbye!"

Banbu brought the little warrior to the bamboo forest formed by the Giant Dragon Bamboo God-bestowed seed and solemnly introduced: "Little fellow, look, this is my seed of life, Giant Dragon Bamboo, a divine God-bestowed seed."

Very bad.

The little fellow had no interest at all.

Giant Dragon Bamboo directly saw through the truth and asked: "Banbu, did you take this little fellow to Wind Chime's territory? Wind Chime flowers are beautiful, and newly born little warriors are ignorant and easily misled."

A talking bamboo? The little warrior was startled, looked around, waved its antennae, released pheromones to warn of danger, and urged Banbu to leave quickly at the same time.

"Yes, yes. Early in the morning, unlucky!" In Banbu's heart, ten thousand grass mud horses galloped wildly.

Giant Dragon Tree Spirit said: "Instinctively choosing the plants they like in ignorance, now is the moment to decide their fate in their growth process. Banbu, you can try to take it to see other beautiful flowers, give it more inspiration, now it is spring, there should be many, right?"

"Makes sense. There are indeed many. Giant Spirit Tree Spirit, you rest, goodbye!"

Banbu took the little warrior to the lakeside again.
