Astral Cockroach

With the Iron Saber Mountain Lord helping to guard the area, the purpurite bamboo rice matured and was harvested smoothly, without any further incidents of beast-type warrior attacks.

1092 tillers divided, 3276 grains of bamboo rice.

As agreed, 3000 grains were set aside to be dried and stored for the Chonglou Caravan.

Of the remaining 276 grains of bamboo rice, Banbu ate most of them himself, giving 100 grains to Daxie to strengthen his metal abilities, allowing him to unleash even greater combat power with his "Iron Sand Palm."

Banbu also planned to choose a proper genetic martial art when he had time, deduce and modify it, and pass it on to Daxie, providing him with a portion of purpurite bamboo rice every year. In the future, when Daxie advanced to the Mountain Lord level, he would definitely be able to master metal abilities.

Of course, having received the benefits, he would have to work harder.

In the planned large jungle area, all kinds of trees were killed and dragged away by Daxie using his Iron Sand Palm, and the shrubs were also cleared.

The weeds could be handed over to Datou's ant colony to clear.

The biggest engineering task was excavating the pond.

Banbu was responsible for digging.

Daxie then used snakeskin bags to transport the soil, bag by bag, to the designated location.

The heavy physical labor kept everyone busy and tired every day, but everyone was very happy.

Bathing in the autumn sunshine, with hearts full of longing for a better future.

… …

The Iron Saber Mountain Lord prematurely terminated his assistance to Banbu with Origin Power food.

In fact, the Iron Saber Mountain Lord himself hardly consumed Origin Power food anymore, distributing all the produce of his territory to the injured Cliff Cypress, Yuntao, and Wind Chime.

Starting with advanced warriors, growth gradually became difficult.

Wind Chime in the fourth instar took the lead in falling into slumber.

This time, it was Banbu's turn to guard the advancement of his fellow warriors. Not daring to slack off, he suspended some of his tasks and guarded the entrance of the cave all day long.

Banbu also harbored his own little thoughts, which was to try to investigate the principle of how the life sac nurtured the God-given seed.

Currently, Banbu himself had more than ten experiences of nurturing life seeds, and he was very sure that the process of a warrior molting and growing was the most crucial link in turning ordinary plant seeds into life seeds.

Unfortunately, every time he advanced, he fell into slumber, unable to figure out what changes occurred during the process.

Banbu didn't dare to experiment with his own life, so he could only observe the changes when other warriors fell into slumber and advanced.

Well, Wind Chime was injured, so it was only natural to care about its safety.

Banbu, guarding outside the cave, would occasionally unfold his mental power to conduct a full-body examination of it.

Banbu was very experienced in this kind of thing. When he was human, he had to enter a hibernation pod to sleep every time his cultivation improved, with various instruments monitoring his condition, and family elders guarding him. He was very sure that as long as he didn't probe the brain or disturb the sleeping soul, it wouldn't cause any impact.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

… …

Unknowingly, it entered the late autumn season.

Banbu checked every day, but still couldn't figure out how the life sac turned ordinary seeds into life seeds, or rather, he didn't observe any special changes.

A full ten days passed, and Wind Chime showed no signs of waking up, and its aura began to weaken.

Banbu began to get nervous.

According to the rules, if it continued, every day of delay in completing the evolution would increase the probability of failure by 10%. If it couldn't wake up after more than half a month, there was a 50% probability that Wind Chime would die in its sleep.

Under normal circumstances, this small stage of advancement from the fourth instar to the fifth instar would not have any risk of failure.

Wind Chime was injured in battle in order to protect the Emerald Bamboo God-given seed, which in turn led to the difficulty of this evolution.

Banbu already felt a little guilty. What if it failed and died… …

Patiently, wait two more days.

Still no sign of successful evolution.

"This unlucky child!" sighed Banbu inwardly, hurriedly summoned Daxie, who was working down the mountain, to guard outside the cave, while he himself set off for Iron Saber Peak.

His divine sense swept across the mountain peak, but he couldn't find the Origin Power fluctuations of the Iron Saber Mountain Lord.

"Banbu!" It was Heisang again, the guy who idled around all day, who was the first to discover Banbu's arrival, and shouted with surprise from afar:

"Banbu, didn't you say you were busy in the fall? How come you have time to run to Lizhu Peak to play?"

Play?!

Banbu felt it was necessary to solemnly suggest to the Iron Saber Mountain Lord: this little guy had already been spoiled, and if it continued like this, it would be ruined.

"Where is the Iron Saber Mountain Lord? I have important matters to ask the Iron Saber Mountain Lord about."

"Banbu?" Cliff Cypress's divine sense came from the mountainside: "Banbu, are you looking for the Iron Saber Mountain Lord?"

Banbu ignored Heisang, sped down to Cliff Cypress's territory, and said directly: "Wind Chime has been asleep for 12 days, and there are no signs of molting. I'm very worried."

"Asleep for 12 days!" Cliff Cypress also became worried.

Banbu asked: "Cliff Cypress, do you know any way to help Wind Chime?"

"There is no way… …" Cliff Cypress said: "Similar situations, our Red Ant Tribe ancestors have encountered quite a few. Being seriously injured will definitely prolong the sleep time, but Wind Chime is only a fourth instar advanced warrior, and the impact is not fatal… … However… … more than 12 days… … is a bit dangerous!"

What kind of ancestor experience is this TMD?

Banbu asked: "Is there no way to help Wind Chime?"

"No." Cliff Cypress shook his antennae and said: "I hope the God of Nature can help it overcome the difficulties."

Banbu thought, that's right, in this world dominated by insects, there is no technological civilization, no medical awareness, they are resigned to fate and believe in the "God of Nature", and have never considered this aspect.

Heisang suddenly opened his mouth and said worriedly: "Cliff Cypress, your injuries are more serious than Wind Chime's… …"

Cliff Cypress said: "It doesn't matter, the Iron Saber Mountain Lord is going to visit County Lord Red Rock this time, mainly to report the battle with the Dusk Serpent warrior last time. According to the rules, County Lord Red Rock will give a certain reward."

"It should be an Origin Stone reward. With this batch of Origin Stones, Yuntao and I will purchase Origin Power food from the caravan that will help increase the probability of successful molting and growth, minimizing the risk of failure."

So it can be prevented!

Banbu realized that he had paid too little attention to Wind Chime, only hoping that it would recover soon so that it could help him with work, and had not considered the other party's injuries at all beforehand.

Wind Chime took 100 Origin Stones from Banbu, but didn't do much work, and also felt ashamed, so he was always anxious to recover as soon as possible.

"Is there no way… …" Banbu said to Cliff Cypress: "Cliff Cypress, County Lord Red Rock's reward won't be too much. I have a surplus on hand, and I will help you and Yuntao purchase a batch of corresponding Origin Power food when the time comes."

"Wind Chime is still asleep, I'll take my leave first!"

Banbu's mood became increasingly low.

Heisang said: "Cliff Cypress, I'll go with Banbu to see Wind Chime."

Cliff Cypress waved his antennae and said: "Go ahead. If you confirm that Wind Chime has failed, you should forcibly wake it up and say your final farewells."

"In the past, we rejected it because of our foreign identity. That was our mistake, Heisang. If Wind Chime fails, please apologize on my behalf!"

"Understood." Heisang drooped his antennae, his sorrowful mood even greater than Banbu's, almost crying.

"Let's go." Banbu braced himself, tapped Heisang's head lightly with his antennae, and said: "It's only been 12 days now, and it's not 100% certain that Wind Chime will fail. What's with this mood? It's as if it's already dead."
