Windbell moving to Lízhu Peak?

Bān Bù had to seriously consider this.

The biggest advantage was that Lízhu Peak would immediately have a high-level warrior, greatly ensuring safety, at least to the extent that ordinary beasts wouldn't dare approach easily.

Secondly, with two warriors residing in the mountain range, they could support each other. For example, Bān Bù could entrust Windbell with taking care of his life seed, and then confidently leave for extended periods, without worrying about his aura dissipating and attracting snakes, rats, birds, or other animals that could harm his territory.

The biggest disadvantage was that it would be a hindrance, with an extra pair of eyes watching, making many things inconvenient. For example, the cultivation method he was about to create, and the various scientific research he planned for the future.

Overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Bān Bù tentatively said, "Mountain Lord Iron Blade, many of Windbell's life seeds are just taking shape, making relocation very inconvenient and causing considerable damage."

Mountain Lord Iron Blade said, "Bān Bù, you've seen it, Windbell's management of its life seeds is terrible. I believe that moving to the fertile Lízhu Peak would actually be beneficial to its development."

Bān Bù nodded and said, "If Windbell has no objections, I can naturally accept it."

"It's good that you agree. I will have a detailed discussion with Windbell about it," Mountain Lord Iron Blade said. "If Windbell agrees, I will gift it a Red Firm Tree seed and also compensate it with a batch of Iron Blade Tree fruits to help it grow quickly."

"Bān Bù, with Windbell moving over, you can more easily establish yourselves in the Jǐnpíng Mountain Range. I won't send Cliff Cypress and the others over to help anymore. The two initial-level warriors agreed upon earlier… may have to be canceled."

Mountain Lord Iron Blade sending the two initial-level warriors born in the Iron Blade Mountain Range to Lízhu Peak was a crucial agreement.

The probability of ordinary cockroaches transforming into cockroach warriors was too low; cockroach warriors were the most precious resource related to the prosperity of the tribe.

Mountain Lord Iron Blade had a good plan, saving himself many troubles from the agreement. Using Windbell, who was unpopular in the Iron Blade Mountain Range, to exchange for two young warriors in the future was simply killing several birds with one stone.

Poor Windbell, having been sold from the Myriad Nations Continent to the Iron Blade Mountain Range by the Rainbow Flame Spider Tribe's unscrupulous merchants, was now going to be sold again by Mountain Lord Iron Blade.

Despicable insect traders!

Bān Bù bargained, "Mountain Lord Iron Blade, you should send another initial-level warrior. With three warriors guarding it, Lízhu Peak would be completely safe."

Mountain Lord Iron Blade said, "Bān Bù, don't underestimate yourself. You are naturally good at fighting. After becoming a high-level warrior, one of you is worth two. It's very safe."

Bān Bù said, "Three warriors are safer. More importantly, three warriors can protect more ordinary clansmen, increasing the chances of new warriors being born. After all, Lízhu Peak also needs to develop, and the Jǐnpíng Mountain Range needs more warriors to guard it."

Mountain Lord Iron Blade was silent for two seconds, then said, "Next time, when the Rainbow Flame Spider Tribe's caravan passes by, I will communicate with them and spend some resources to redeem a Red Runner Tribe warrior and send it to Lízhu Peak. Bān Bù, what do you think?"

Bān Bù also thought for a moment and said, "That's acceptable too."

… …

That evening, Mountain Lord Iron Blade brought Windbell to Bān Bù again.

Windbell agreed to move to Lízhu Peak, and Bān Bù took it to choose a location.

Lízhu Peak was majestic and tall, with most of its land having gentle slopes, providing plenty of land suitable for settling down. According to altitude, it could be roughly divided into the upper layer, upper-middle layer, middle layer, lower-middle layer, and the lower layer, which was level with the mountain range.

Except for the upper layer, which was cold in autumn and accumulated snow in winter, making it unsuitable for planting regular plants, the other areas were all good choices.

Especially the upper-middle layer that Bān Bù had currently chosen, with ample sunlight and abundant Primal Power, was an excellent treasure land, with plenty of unused open space.

However, Windbell insisted on choosing the steep northeastern side of the lower-middle layer. This fellow hadn't given up and still planned to plant Windbells under the cliff.

After Mountain Lord Iron Blade gave a series of warnings, he seemed somewhat helpless.

Cliff Cypress was obsessed with various pines and cypresses; Lízhu was obsessed with bamboo; Flame Cluster Spotted Reed had even planned to nurture Flame Cluster Spotted Reed as its life seed, but luckily, it was smart and, after being sternly warned and lectured by Hemp Nettle and Mountain Lord Iron Blade, it corrected its ways and embarked on the right path in time.

Mountain Lord Iron Blade himself also had a slight obsession with Iron Blade Trees.

The current Bān Bù was only an initial-level warrior, and the development of his territory had just begun, but his preference for plants had already clearly tilted towards bamboo, and he had already begun collecting rare bamboo species.

All indications showed that insect warriors were generally prone to being obsessed with a certain type of plant, and it was difficult to correct this.

It could be seen that Windbell was still somewhat gleeful.

Moving to Lízhu Peak was equivalent to breaking away from the Iron Blade Mountain Range. Mountain Lord Iron Blade had no right to manage the affairs of the Jǐnpíng Mountain Range.

Bān Bù was nominally the Mountain Lord of Lízhu Peak, but he was still far from being promoted to a formal Mountain Lord. In terms of seniority, he was a generation lower than Windbell, and in terms of strength, he was far inferior to Windbell, so he wasn't qualified to manage it.

It could plant its beloved Windbells to its heart's content, unrestrained, which was quite good.

The relocation time was set for the turn of winter and spring this year, when the two seasons alternated. Transplanting at that time would minimize damage to the life seed.

… …

After the awns of the Fragrant Grass life seed formed seeds, the seeds quickly developed and matured.

Three awns, each with 32 grains, for a total of 96 round and full Primal Power grass seeds, which Bān Bù quickly ate, thus greatly accelerating his growth speed.

After the grass seeds matured and were harvested, the grass leaves quickly withered. Bān Bù simply cut them off, and after a few days of irrigation, three new shoots emerged from the ground and quickly grew into new grass plants.

Although both were Fragrant Grass, the God-Given Seed still showed no signs of heading.

… …

After the large-scale hunting in midsummer, the dry season followed, and water had to be drawn from the reservoir on the mountaintop every day to irrigate various plants.

At the most critical and hottest time, Bān Bù showed signs of advancing and breaking through.

The four high-level warriors of Iron Blade Peak were too busy, and there was no other way. Bān Bù decided to invite Flame Cluster Spotted Reed, Windbell, and Rose Myrtle to help in turn.

… …

Dusk.

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed's territory.

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed was very busy. In addition to carefully nurturing its life seed, it had also sown a large batch of ordinary Iron Blade Trees last year. The seedlings of these ordinary plants were much more fragile than the life seed and couldn't withstand drought.

There wasn't much water left in the mountaintop reservoir. Opening the sluice gate and diverting water through ditches would waste a lot along the way, so it was busy drawing water with bamboo tubes to irrigate them.

"Bān Bù, why are you here? You planted so many bamboos on Lízhu Peak, shouldn't you be too busy to catch your breath?"

After Flame Cluster Spotted Reed finished speaking, it understood and said, "You're too busy and need help, right?"

Bān Bù said, "I am indeed too busy, and there's an even more troublesome matter. I'm about to shed my shell and grow into a mid-level warrior, so I need to sleep for a while."

He could endure the growth of his age, but the qualitative evolution from an initial-level warrior to a mid-level warrior had the risk of evolution failure, so Bān Bù didn't dare to take the risk.

"Bān Bù! Are you going to become a mid-level warrior?" Flame Cluster Spotted Reed was pleasantly surprised and cheered, "Black Mulberry only became a mid-level warrior half a month ago, and you'll be able to catch up with him soon! I knew it, Bān Bù is a better warrior than Black Mulberry."

Meaningless comparison.

Bān Bù shook his antennae and said seriously, "I plan to ask Windbell and Rose Myrtle for help. They shouldn't refuse. You guys come to Lízhu Peak in turn, arriving at night, and just help me water the life seed and leave some aura to prevent birds and beasts from approaching. It won't take up too much time."

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed readily agreed, "No problem, we can guard you all night, and Cliff Cypress and the others from Iron Blade Peak will be responsible for the daytime."

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed then asked suspiciously, "But, will the stingy Windbell help?"

Bān Bù said, "Windbell definitely will. Mountain Lord Iron Blade has decided that it will move to Lízhu Peak this winter to accompany me."

"Is that true?" Flame Cluster Spotted Reed shook its antennae, displeased, "Windbell is an annoying fellow, Bān Bù, you are the Mountain Lord of Lízhu Peak, you should refuse it."

Bān Bù said, "The territory Windbell chose is too bad, and its life seed isn't growing well. Mountain Lord Iron Blade hopes it will change after moving to Lízhu Peak."

Flame Cluster Spotted Reed disdainfully said, "That's because it's stupid, a stingy idiot."

Bān Bù shook his antennae and didn't respond.

The conflict between Flame Cluster Spotted Reed and Windbell seemed to have deepened further due to certain events, and their territories weren't far apart, which was probably one of the reasons why Mountain Lord Iron Blade was determined to move Windbell to Lízhu Peak.
