Astral Cockroach

Along the way, Banbu had only 1200 blood thorn seeds left. This amount was completely insufficient for the Red Rock Territory, which had a population of 500 insects.

The Red Rock Territory Lord also had an unreasonable side, buying all the remaining blood thorn seeds in one go, and also paying a deposit to forcibly order 3000 seeds from next year's production.

Totaling 10,800 original stones.

Banbu took 5,000 original stones.

With the other 5,800 original stones, at an ultra-low price of 40 original stones each, he purchased 145 Red Rock fruits from the Red Rock Territory Lord in one go, freshly picked and bought, all still wet.

During the transaction, Banbu discovered that the Red Rock Territory Lord seemed to be truly stingy. Such a large transaction, asking it to round up to an even number and give 150 Red Rock fruits, was refused. Not one less, and not willing to give one more.

This season, the Red Rock Territory was extremely busy.

Having completed the transaction, he should have left.

But the Great Yellow Banyan hesitated, stuttered, and was hesitant, wanting to say something but stopping.

The Red Rock Territory Lord noticed its abnormality and asked, "Great Yellow Banyan, do you have something to say?"

"It's just that, um..." The Great Yellow Banyan stammered, "When I came, the Weeping Banyan Territory Lord asked me to ask if there are any new Red Ring Acid Bee Queens born... The development of the Sheep Hoof Mountains... needs capable helpers."

Upon hearing this, Banbu's antennae immediately stood up, waiting for the rest.

"It just so happens that there is." The Red Rock Territory Lord retorted, "Did the Weeping Banyan Territory Lord hear the news of a new queen bee being born and deliberately ask you to come and find me, right?"

The lie was exposed.

The Great Yellow Banyan was embarrassed and stammered, "Yes, yes, that's right, I'm sorry..."

"Alas..." The Red Rock Territory Lord was speechless at the Great Yellow Banyan's personality, sighed weakly, waved its wing veins, and said:

"I can't make the decision on this matter. Great Leaf Red Rock, you take it and Banbu to see the Fire Lotus Bee Queen. The newborn little queen bee must have a place to go. It doesn't recognize any of the warriors in our Red Rock Territory, so let's try the warriors from other mountain ranges."

Great Leaf Red Rock was the original name of the Great Leaf Territory Lord. After being promoted to Territory Lord, the title was simplified to "Great Leaf Territory Lord", which is a respectful title of status. In the Red Roach Tribe, only the Red Rock Territory Lord can directly call it by its original name.

The Great Leaf Territory Lord also waved its wing veins and said, "Cliff Cypress, you wait here. Banbu, Great Yellow Banyan, you two little guys come with me."

After speaking, it flapped its wings and ascended into the air.

When Banbu heard this, realizing that he also had a chance, he was overjoyed and followed, flapping his wings into the air.

...

"Bee" is a race extremely similar to "Ant". Bees possess membranous wings and outstanding flying abilities, making them a powerful race in the sky.

However, like ants, bees are inherently ferocious, competitive, and extremely exclusive. The Myriad Races Continent has about twenty bee kingdoms, but each kingdom only allows bees of the same tribe to survive, making them the only race that does not recognize variant tribesmen.

On the Myriad Races Continent, there are over 500 bee races protected by the gods. Most bees do not have kingdoms, and the Red Ring Acid Bee is one of them.

The Red Ring Acid Bee is a very small, stingless, and weak race with almost no close-quarters combat ability. After being promoted to Mountain Lord, they can awaken fire abilities, and every worker bee born from the queen bee can release weak fire abilities.

The overwhelming swarm of bees adds up to a considerable combat power.

The role of the Red Ring Acid Bee is not combat; its main purpose is to help with labor and manage the territory. They do not have their own kingdom and survive by "parasitically vassalizing" other kingdoms.

In the Red Rock Territory, the Red Rock Tree Sea relies on bee pollination when the flowers bloom every spring, and on bee harvesting when the fruits ripen in autumn.

"King" is a title for bee and ant elemental creatures.

The Fire Lotus Bee Queen's strength is not that of a King, but of a Territory Lord. She possesses a God-given Seed, originally a Wood Lotus Tree, but because the fruit enhances fire abilities, it was renamed "Fire Lotus". She is renowned, and when mentioning the Red Rock Territory, one first thinks of the Red Rock Tree God-given Seed, the Red Rock Territory Lord, and then the Fire Lotus Bee Queen.

The Fire Lotus Bee Queen accounts for half of the Red Rock Territory's prosperity and wealth today, so her position in the Red Rock Territory is second only to the Red Rock Territory Lord.

Banbu understood the meaning of the Great Yellow Banyan, or rather, the intention of the Weeping Banyan Territory Lord: The Fire Lotus Bee Queen protects a large number of ordinary tribesmen, and a new queen bee was born this year. The same area cannot allow two queen bees to exist at the same time. The reason is simple: the aura of the bee swarms they command is similar but different. Genetic instinct dictates that once they encounter each other, a battle will break out.

At least, the Red Rock Tree Sea cannot accommodate two queen bees.

This newborn little Red Ring Bee Queen must be assigned to live in the territory of another roach warrior.

It seems that the Fire Lotus Bee Queen has very high standards and looks down on the roach warriors within the Red Rock Territory.

The original intention of the Weeping Banyan Territory Lord was to have the Great Yellow Banyan come and try its luck to see if it could bring this little queen bee to the Sheep Hoof Mountains.

Banbu was also invited to the interview as a side trip.

...

A gently sloping hill was planted with blood thorn bushes, appearing a bright red from afar.

At the foot of the mountain, a towering tree nearly a hundred meters tall had scattered lotus-like fruits hanging on its branches.

The Wood Lotus is a tall tree no less than the Red Rock Tree, and it grows relatively faster. The only drawback is that it bears a particularly small number of fruits.

This Wood Lotus tree in front of him, besides being extraordinarily tall, had leaves and branches similar to ordinary Wood Lotus. The only difference was the color of the fruit. Its fruit was a translucent orange-red, more like a glowing tungsten light bulb.

"Do not approach the Wood Lotus God-given Seed." The Great Leaf Territory Lord reminded, deliberately detouring to the flat square on the opposite side of the mountain to land.

On the flat square, a large number of worker bees were busy peeling the green skin off the ordinary Red Rock fruits with their mandibles.

Ordinary worker bees are only 10 to 15 centimeters long, while another type, similar to ant soldier ants, is a whopping 0.5 meters long.

The small worker bees peeled the skin and sent the fruit to the large worker bees.

The large worker bees seemed to possess great intelligence, selecting them one by one. Most of them were piled into a mountain, and only very few Red Rock fruits were selected and spread out on the square to dry.

They were selecting seeds, picking out high-quality seeds with large grains. Next spring, these seeds would be densely sown. During the seedling growth process, weak seedlings would be continuously eliminated, leaving only the strongest seedlings to grow.

A very clumsy original stone method, selecting generation after generation, it would take a long time to cultivate high-quality tree species.

Banbu pointed to the discarded Red Rock tree seeds piled up like a mountain and asked, "Great Leaf Territory Lord, what happens to those seeds?"

The Great Leaf Territory Lord said, "Of course, they are burned and destroyed to prevent them from leaking out."

Banbu asked, "Have you considered expanding the area of the Red Rock Tree Sea?"

The Great Leaf Territory Lord said, "It will not be considered until the Red Rock Territory Lord is promoted to Roach King."

Banbu didn't ask any more questions, having already obtained the answer he wanted: Not expanding the Red Rock Tree Sea is due to the limited number of bee swarms controlled by the Fire Lotus Bee Queen, only capable of managing such a large area. As expected, after the Red Rock Territory Lord is promoted to Roach King, he will first consider helping the Fire Lotus Bee Queen to be promoted to "King-level."

The Great Yellow Banyan nervously asked, "Great Leaf Territory Lord, does the Fire Lotus Bee Queen live inside the mountain? I heard that her temper is particularly irritable..."

"Who did you hear that from?!" An almost roaring voice suddenly came from inside the mountain.

Mental power locked onto the Great Yellow Banyan, and a terrifying aura permeated out.

Before the Great Yellow Banyan could finish a sentence, its six legs went weak in fright, and it collapsed to the ground.

That mental power then attempted to lock onto Banbu.

Banbu's figure swayed, hiding behind the Great Leaf Territory Lord.

The Great Leaf Territory Lord also seemed a little scared and shouted, "Fire Lotus Bee Queen, please calm your anger. These are excellent juniors from the tribe specially selected by the Red Rock Territory Lord, brought here by me for you to examine."

"Excellent?" The Fire Lotus Bee Queen had no intention of coming out of the cave at all, angrily shouting, "Is the little guy lying on the ground excellent? Also, are you sure that ugly fellow hiding behind you is of your tribe?"
