Astral Cockroach

#87 - Bamboo Rat Warrior (II)

Different biological races possess different characteristics. Regardless of whether a race is strong or weak, it will definitely have its own survival strengths.

For example, cockroaches are naturally endowed with the talent of "strong cell activity," which manifests as tenacious vitality. After Red Ant Tribe warriors become mountain lords, they also awaken the ability of flames. This is a key talent that enables them to become a ruling tribe.

Ants, on the other hand, can command a large number of worker ants and soldier ants, taking full advantage of their numerical superiority, making them a race of frenzied fighters.

Black bears are large and strong, possessing what can be described as innate divine power.

However, a single race and a single ability are not entirely ideal.

Banbu, being a human soul reborn, doesn't have as many taboos as native races. He intends to make the territory prosperous and powerful in a short period of time. The most ideal way is to win over warriors from various races, learn from each other's strengths, and form a relatively complete system to do all sorts of things for himself.

Is the role of bamboo rat warriors limited to finding bamboo species? Definitely not.

Bamboo rats have sharp claws and teeth and are good at digging. Li Zhu was right when he initially thought they could mine.

Banbu kept them for the purpose of gathering them under his command to explore mineral veins and mine ore.

… …

Through Hei Sang's introduction, Banbu judged that this group of bamboo rat warriors were naturally timid and acted cautiously.

Li Zhu, as a high-level warrior, was too large to appear. After resting for half the night, he left the mine in the second half of the night to find bamboo species on his own.

Banbu's size was similar to Hei Sang's, or even more slender. In terms of size, he shouldn't frighten the bamboo rat warriors. Banbu followed Hei Sang, carrying primal force food, and came to a collapsed, abandoned mine entrance in the mountains at night.

The collapsed entrance passage was overgrown with dense sedge grass, on a sloping hillside, surrounded by a large number of sturdy bamboo plants.

Banbu unleashed his mental power, scanning and checking, and discovered a hidden small hole in the grass: a group of guys who were very good at hiding.

After a short while, seeing that Hei Sang didn't move, Banbu asked, "Hei Sang, aren't you going to call them out?"

Hei Sang said, "I don't know if they're home. Banbu, let's wait. They're very timid."

"Then let's wait." Banbu was also worried that his appearance would scare these bamboo rat warriors away.

After waiting a while longer, they still didn't come out.

Banbu asked, "Hei Sang, how did you get to know them?"

Hei Sang replied, "I was bored and went out for a stroll. When I passed by here, they took the initiative to approach me."

Banbu asked, "Do they have names?"

"No. Without inherited memories, they don't know anything, they don't understand anything." Hei Sang said, "They don't even know that they belong to the bamboo rat tribe."

Hei Sang tilted his head and continued, "I originally planned to teach them to recognize various bamboos today, and then name them after the bamboos."

Hei Sang giggled and said, "The largest bamboo rat warrior is called Ma Zhu, and the smallest, always bullied, bamboo rat warrior is called Li Zhu. Haha, Banbu, what do you think?"

Banbu was speechless.

No wonder Hei Sang was always lectured by Li Zhu and Ya Bai. This guy's skin was always itchy, looking for a beating.

Seeing that Banbu ignored him, Hei Sang became even more energetic.

"Ma Zhu, Shui Zhu, Hong Zhu, Zi Zhu, Jin Zhu, and Li Zhu, who gets beaten every day, squeak, Banbu, I've decided, that's what I'll name them, hahaha… …"

Banbu said, "I guarantee that Li Zhu will kill them all when he finds out."

"Uh… …"

The laughter stopped abruptly. Hei Sang thought for a while and said, "We can secretly call them by these names."

Banbu said, "If Li Zhu doesn't know, then you can't make him angry, and it won't have any meaning."

"Uh… … That's right!" Hei Sang was conflicted.

Banbu was too lazy to pay attention to this boring guy. He unleashed his mental power and probed deep into the cave along the hole in the grass.

A bamboo rat with silver-gray fur was lying in the passage, peeking out.

Extremely sensitive to mental power, it immediately noticed that it was locked by divine sense. In a puff of smoke, it burrowed into the depths of the passage and disappeared.

"As expected, cautious, and very敏锐."

Banbu silently thought in his heart and said to Hei Sang, "Hei Sang, you should still try calling out. Let them come out."

Hei Sang said, "They dug many caves on the mountain, many passages, many exits. If they aren't nearby, they won't receive my divine sense. It's useless."

After Hei Sang finished speaking, he confidently said, "If they find out that I've arrived, they will come out to find me on their own. They trust me."

Banbu waved his antennae and pointed to the cave entrance, saying, "They're inside, peeking out, afraid to come out."

"Ah?!" Hei Sang didn't waste any words, mobilized his mental power, and shouted into the cave, "Bamboo rat warriors, are you there? I'm here again! Come out and play… … Come out and trade."

"This is my tribe member, his name is Banbu, don't be afraid, he won't hurt you… …"

Banbu constrained his mental power into thin threads, carefully probing.

The silver-gray bamboo rat sneakily crawled out, and敏锐ly noticed Banbu's mental power again. It was timid, hesitant, and dared not move forward.

Banbu retracted his mental power probe, shook his divine sense, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I brought primal force food. Let's trade."

After Banbu finished speaking, he opened the snakeskin bag, took out a Ya Bai seed, moved as slowly as possible, placed it at the entrance of the cave, then retreated and stood in the distance waiting.

After a while, a claw with a silvery metallic luster flashed from the cave entrance, and the Ya Bai seed disappeared.

In just a few seconds, the silver-gray bamboo rat warrior crawled out. In the dark night, eyes emitting a silvery glow stared at Banbu, curiously sizing him up.

Hei Sang said, "Banbu, this is the largest bamboo rat warrior."

The bamboo rat warrior looked at Hei Sang and asked, "Hei Sang, is this your tribe member? You don't have the same color, and you don't look the same."

Hei Sang stammered, "Uh… … It's not quite the same. Banbu is from our Red Ant Tribe… … He's the darkest one in our Red Ant Tribe. It's a bit strange, but he is indeed my tribe member. The scent won't be wrong."

The bamboo rat warrior didn't dwell too much on Banbu's appearance. Its gaze was involuntarily drawn to the snakeskin bag.

Hei Sang was generous, directly taking out two cypress seeds and placing them on the ground, saying, "These are for you."

"Hei Sang, thank you." The bamboo rat warrior thanked him, then gnashed its teeth towards the cave, making a sharp "geji geji" sound.

Soon, five bamboo rat warriors emerged from different locations and different hidden cave entrances. Their bodies were plump, their movements were fairly agile, and they all ran to Hei Sang in a puff of smoke.

Hei Sang immediately counted out 10 cypress seeds and placed them on the ground.

Amidst the chattering and arguing, they divided the primal force food. From largest to smallest, they stood in a row and began to peel and eat without any scruples.

Timid, cautious, and also very gluttonous.

Banbu sensed that they trusted Hei Sang very much, but were a little wary of him. He then took out 6 Ya Bai seeds, distributed one to each of them to build rapport, and then asked, "Do you have names?"

"No." The largest bamboo rat warrior replied.

Hei Sang squeezed Banbu hard, rushing to shout, "I've thought of how to name you!"

"You're called Ma Zhu. Ma Zhu is the largest bamboo."

"You're called Shui Zhu. Shui Zhu likes to grow by riversides and is the second largest bamboo."

"You're called Hong Zhu; You're called Zi Zhu; You're called Jin Zhu. They are all precious and rare bamboo species."

"You're called… …" Hei Sang looked at the bamboo rat warrior at the end of the line, the smallest one with white fur, and became entangled.

Banbu said, "Just call him Bai Zhu, full name Fei Bai Zhu, the smallest bamboo species."

This smallest one had a slightly different fur color from the other five. Considering all aspects, this name was very fitting.

"Alright." Hei Sang reluctantly agreed with some unwillingness, then asked, "What do you think?"

After eating the primal force food, the six bamboo rat warriors all looked at Hei Sang blankly. The largest bamboo rat warrior asked, "Hei Sang, what does Ma Zhu look like?"

Hei Sang happily said, "Haha, don't worry, I will take you to recognize various bamboos, and I can also teach you to recognize various plants and animals. The names are set, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll be called Ma Zhu." The largest bamboo rat warrior reluctantly accepted.

The other bamboo rat warriors agreed one after another.
