Astral Cockroach

Next spring, when Wind Chime moves to the Li Bamboo Peak, the senior warriors of Iron Saber Peak will no longer come to help patrol the territory.

How unreliable is Wind Chime? Banbu has seen it with his own eyes; in a real fight, it's completely useless.

Big Bear is strong, honest, fearless, and has explosive combat power, making him a qualified fighter.

Big Head can command ant swarms and do all kinds of delicate and tedious farm work, making him an excellent laborer.

Banbu brought them together so that the development and security of the territory could be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Most precious of all, they both have low aggressiveness in their nature, value loyalty, and can be trusted with confidence.

…

Big Head has a strong desire for knowledge and asked, "Banbu, can you teach us more knowledge?"

"Of course I can," Banbu said. "First of all, you should recognize more plants and animals."

Big Bear cheered, "I like recognizing all kinds of plants and animals!"

Big Head said, "Banbu, I want to learn multiplication and division. Big Bear told me about it, but he couldn't explain it clearly, and I can't understand it either."

"Multiplication and division are too difficult, let's teach them later," Banbu said. "You should first understand various plants and animals, which will help you survive in the jungle."

"Banbu is right!" Big Bear suggested, "We can walk around, looking for God-given seeds while learning knowledge."

Banbu said, "Good idea. Different landforms and different climates are suitable for different plants and animals to survive. Only by walking around can we see everything."

…

Ants are a relatively special insect race. In the Myriad World Continent, the queen ant at the origin force creature level is called "King" from birth. She is not strong in combat and relies entirely on commanding the ant swarm.

Most ants are fierce, aggressive, and highly invasive. Big Head is an exception among ants, or rather, the harvester ant race, which collects seeds for a living, is an exception.

Big Head climbed onto Big Bear's head, and Big Bear carried him on the road. Seeing their skilled cooperation, it was clear that this was not their first time traveling and playing together.

Around them, nearly a hundred Big Head soldier ants and worker ants followed, in neat rows, front, back, left, and right, acting as protection, with soldier ants arranged in the distance as scouts.

Not liking to fight is one thing, but Big Head's combat talent as an ant king is still there.

"Banbu, what is that grass?"

Big Bear stretched out his bear paw, pointing to a small grass with purple leaves on the cliff slope not far away.

Banbu replied, "Soap grass. Strictly speaking, it's not a grass, but a perennial small shrub that likes shade and moisture, but is also drought-tolerant. It likes to grow in the cracks of stones on small hillsides, specifically red gravel, acidic soil."

Big Head pointed to a crawling insect on the ground and asked, "Banbu, what about that one? What kind of insect is that? We rarely see insects in autumn."

Banbu said, "Acheta. It's about to freeze to death and won't survive this autumn."

"Oh, how pitiful," Big Head said sympathetically.

Big Head pointed to a tall tree in the distance and asked, "Banbu, is that also a banyan tree?"

Banbu replied, "Yes, a water banyan. The banyan tree you built your ant nest on is called a large-leaved banyan. They are both banyan trees. Banyan trees have developed root systems and can only grow well in places with sufficient water sources. During the humid rainy season, their trunks will also grow dense aerial roots to absorb water and nutrients from the air."

…

In the Jin Ping Mountains alone, there are tens of thousands of common plants and animals. There are also many insects that overwinter in the form of insect eggs, various snakes and rats that hibernate, most migratory birds fly south, and the plants that grow in different terrains are different. There are too many kinds of creatures to teach all at once.

Banbu also gradually awakened these knowledge during one molt and evolution after another, and there is still a lot of knowledge that has not been awakened. The complex system and redundant knowledge cannot be achieved in one step.

Even though he knew that Big Bear had given most of the cliff cypress seeds he had given him to Big Head, Banbu still reluctantly parted with another 100 cliff cypress seeds the next day and gave them to Big Head.

This made Big Bear and Big Head happy all day long, constantly praising Banbu's generosity and envying Banbu's wealth.

Of course, they couldn't imagine that, in fact, Banbu's life seed has not grown up yet, and even many life seeds have not been sown yet. He has no income at all and is a penniless pauper.

A few days later, Big Head, who had eaten a lot of origin force food, fell into a deep sleep.

Coincidentally, the Iron Saber Mountain Master, who went to Red Fort County to claim credit, returned and asked Li Zhu to send Banbu the rewards he had received on this trip.

A white dried fruit covered with dark red curved stripes—the fruit condensed from the God-given seed of the Red Fort Tree.

There were also 10 spherical dried fruits, larger than pecans, fiery red, with 3 hard-shelled seeds inside after peeling. This is the fruit condensed from the life seed of the torchwood tree, the symbolic tree species of the Torch Roach Kingdom.

In contrast to the gifts from the Flower Cypress Mountain Master, the rewards from the Red Fort County Master were small in quantity but of extremely high quality.

Most valuable of all, the rewarded origin force fruits all have the effect of strengthening flame abilities. Strengthening flame abilities in advance, in addition to accelerating growth, can also increase the probability of successfully becoming a Mountain Master in the future.

Banbu is now a mid-level warrior, and it is still early before he awakens his flame abilities. He is not even sure whether he still has this talent gene.

The latest and most complete novel is on Six 9 Book Bar!

The torchwood and Red Fort Tree seeds can just be used to verify. It's very simple. If he can absorb their origin force energy, it means he has it. If he can't absorb it, it means he doesn't have the talent gene related to flame abilities, and he will not be able to awaken flame abilities like a normal Torch Roach tribe warrior in the future.

The Red Fort Tree seed is condensed from a God-given seed, which is too precious to be wasted easily, and cannot be used for experimentation.

If it really doesn't work, selling it to a peddler can still fetch a good price and earn a sum of origin stones.

Banbu plans to try the torchwood fruit.

The torchwood fruit is slightly poisonous. Eating it directly will cause diarrhea, and whatever you eat into your stomach will be pulled out immediately.

The correct way to eat it is to mix it with a common red acidic stone from the hills in a 1:1 ratio, mash it, add a little water to neutralize the poison, and then it can be eaten.

It's very difficult to eat!

But this is condensed from the life seed of a County Master-level Torch Roach warrior. The fruit tree has grown for more than 200 years, and the seeds contain a vast origin force.

In terms of the amount of origin force alone, one torchwood seed is comparable to 10 cliff cypress seeds.

This origin force is of extremely high quality, almost catching up with the God-given seed of the Xun grass. It feels warm and comfortable when it enters the abdomen, but when it is absorbed into the blood, it suddenly becomes scorching hot, and the whole body is burning with pain as the blood flows.

Banbu used his cultivation technique to try to integrate this origin force into every cell of his body, and it took him half a day to completely absorb it.

The Overlord-level metal core caused Banbu's soul to mutate, and the soul triggered a gene mutation, deriving metal abilities. Fortunately, the genes related to the talent abilities of the Torch Roach tribe were not destroyed!

"Does that mean that when I advance to Mountain Master in the future, I can awaken both metal and flame element abilities?"

"Good, good. In this way, I can save the time of creating corresponding gene martial arts myself."

Getting the ideal result, Banbu felt a burst of comfort in his heart.

10 torchwood fruits, that's 30 torchwood seeds. The key is that they are large, and 1 seed a day is enough for growth.

In addition to the cliff cypress seeds given by the Flower Cypress Mountain Master and the sporadic assistance from the Iron Saber Mountain Master, all in all, this winter can be very rich!

Banbu thought for a while, he doesn't need to rush his own growth, and decided to send 3 torchwood fruits each to Flame Cluster Spotted Reed and Rose Myrtle. They were both injured and urgently needed a molt evolution to recover from their injuries. High-quality origin force fruits that fit their talent abilities would help them grow quickly.

Especially Flame Cluster Spotted Reed, it is Banbu's direct elder, and was injured in battle to protect Banbu's territory. He can't just not show any gratitude.
