Astral Cockroach

Leaving Chijian County and returning to Lizhu Peak.

The round trip took a total of 12 days.

On the way back, while passing through the Iron Blade Mountains, Banbu handed over the 6,000 Origin Stones and 145 Red Firm Tree God-Given Seed fruits he had acquired on this trip to the Iron Blade Mountain Master.

Red Firm fruits can help the Iron Blade Mountain Master grow quickly.

As for the Origin Stones, they would be used to purchase various Origin Power foods that enhance basic physique and increase the probability of successful molting evolution from the merchant caravan next year. For Mountain Master level cockroach warriors who are injured, the Chonglou merchant caravan has a dedicated matching package, also in three sets, priced at 3,000, 5,000, and a "deluxe package" with a high price of 10,000 Origin Stones.

Banbu knew that the Iron Blade Mountain Master would choose for itself. He gave it the Origin Stones so it could buy whatever it thought was suitable.

…

Two or three days later, the Purple Gold God-Given Seed's demand for Origin Power suddenly surged, a sign that the grass seeds were beginning to mature.

Its quality had improved, but its demand for Origin Stones was still very small. The process lasted for 10 days, and the total investment was less than 300 Origin Stones, an almost negligible operating cost.

This time, the maturity period lasted for 3 days, with each ramet condensing 3 seeds, one maturing each night.

After maturity, Datou immediately directed the ant colony to pick them.

After 3 days, it was successfully completed.

There were still no attacks from beast warriors.

Lord Chuirong deliberately stayed for two more days to confirm that the situation was stable before leaving with peace of mind.

Yabai could not stay at Lizhu Peak all the time. After confirming that there would be no danger, he also set off to leave.

…

The seven bamboo rat warriors had begun to show results in their cultivation. Banbu sent them out, mainly to find the hiding dens of the Gouju Mountain Python warriors. By the way, they could also look for beast warriors hiding in the Jinping Mountains. In addition, they could also take advantage of the good season of late autumn when various plant fruits ripen to look for God-Given Seeds.

Daxiong's injuries had basically healed, and he went down the mountain to cut wood.

Banbu, according to the plan, continued to dig soil and open up ponds.

Fengling couldn't work. On the mountain, she kept an eye on Hongdao, not letting it run around. This guy was lively and cheerful. As soon as Lizhu Peak was lifted from martial law, he clamored to go down the mountain to open up paddy fields, transplant his life seed, expand the planting scale of ordinary rice seeds, and find barnyard grass seeds in the swamp to cultivate new rice seeds…

Hongdao liked rice plants and was even obsessed with water and mud. Give it a paddy field, and it could happily play all day long.

This was engraved in the race's genes, and Banbu couldn't help it, so he threw the trouble to Fengling.

Fengling was quite tormented.

…

The sixth day after the bamboo rats set off.

Banbu was busy at the foot of the mountain.

He had just cleared the grass and trees for the fourth pond in the plan and had only dug 10 centimeters deep.

These seven guys excitedly ran back.

"Banbu!"

"Banbu!"

…

The seven bamboo rat warriors greeted Banbu one after another.

The strangest thing was that each bamboo rat was carrying a stalk of blooming flame cluster thatch, looking like triumphant warriors returning home.

"Humph!" Rat King felt that his majesty had been provoked, snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes, and scanned the six little bamboo rat warriors one by one, full of threatening meaning.

The six little bamboo rat warriors, who were still rejoicing just a moment ago, dropped their thatch stalks, lowered their forelimbs to the ground, lowered their heads, and became quiet.

Seeing this, Banbu sighed silently in his heart and asked, "What are you guys doing? Flame cluster thatch grows in swamps, and Gouju Mountain Pythons hide in the mountains… Did you find Gouju Mountain Python warriors in the swamp? Or did you discover other beast warriors?"

"Neither… But we found something better!"

While communicating with mental power, Rat King stretched out his paw and dug out a small python skin package from his cheek pouch.

This was specially made for it by Banbu, using the python skin of the Mountain Master level ink python warrior. After tanning with plant ash, it was carefully polished, retaining only the layer with the highest toughness and density, as thin as paper.

The purpose was to prevent erosion from oral saliva. Once a God-Given Seed was found, it would be wrapped in python skin and hidden in the cheek pouch, without affecting running.

This is freaking…

So efficient?!

Banbu couldn't help but get excited: He found a God-Given Seed as soon as he went out?!

With a thought, his eyes shifted.

Looking at the flame cluster thatch stalks dropped on the ground, his mood suddenly became not so good, and he asked, "It's not a God-Given Seed condensed by flame cluster thatch, is it?"

"No." Rat King replied affirmatively, carefully unfolding the python skin package layer by layer. His paws were not very nimble, and the speed was very slow.

Banbu looked anxiously and asked, "What kind of plant seed is it? A tree?"

"No." Rat King stopped his movements and said, "I don't recognize this plant."

Banbu stretched out his paw, grabbed the python skin package, split it with his toes, and quickly opened it.

It was half a section of dark red withered flower spike, without seeds.

"This is a sample brought back to identify the plant… I was too excited and took the wrong one." Rat King quickly took out the python skin package stuffed in the other cheek pouch and simply handed it to Banbu to unpack.

Unfolded, inside was the other half of the withered flower spike. On the flower spike, a lonely brown-red oval seed hung, emitting a faint Origin Power fluctuation.

Undoubtedly a God-Given Seed!

Banbu pieced together the two sections of flower spikes and carefully searched his memory. He quickly remembered that it should be cattail flower spikes.

Cattail, a perennial herb, is highly vigorous and likes water. Wetlands, swamps, riverbanks, lakesides, and even shallow water areas can grow it. It has a wide distribution range, and almost the entire Myriad Race Continent has its existence.

The plant is much taller than Xun grass, but the grass seeds are not bigger than Xun grass, and the quantity is not much.

If it's not good, it may be a God-Given Seed that is worse than a Purple Gold God-Given Seed.

Of course, it is definitely a little better than flame cluster thatch.

"Banbu, how is it?" Rat King looked at Banbu, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Not bad." Banbu praised lightly and asked, "Who found it?"

"Me!"

"Me! Me! Me…"

Led by Rat King, the seven bamboo rat warriors scrambled to answer.

Banbu asked, "Did you find it together? Didn't I ask you to spread out a little and conduct a search?"

Rat King turned his head and glared fiercely at Mazhu.

Mazhu turned his head and glared fiercely at Shuizhu, with his forelegs on the ground, honestly crawling down.

Shuizhu turned his head and glared fiercely at Hongzhu, with his forelegs on the ground, honestly crawling down.

…

By analogy, it was Bai Zhu's turn in the end.

Bai Zhu glanced at the fierce-looking Rat King, opened his mouth, and timidly said, "I didn't find it."

After speaking, he put his forelegs on the ground and crawled down again.

Rat King said triumphantly and confidently, "Banbu, I found the God-Given Seed. According to the agreement, when it is bred into a life seed, I will take one-tenth of the annual production."

Coincidentally, Daxiong, who heard the movement, approached and walked over.

Banbu waved his antennae, pointed at Rat King, and said, "Daxiong, clean it up!"

"Okay!" Daxiong raised his bear paw and quickly approached Rat King.

"Banbu, what are you doing! It will slap me to death… Daxiong!" Rat King covered his head with both paws, screaming in panic.

Banbu shouted and asked, "Who exactly found the God-Given Seed? Don't think about lying to me!"

"Okay, I admit it! It wasn't me!" Rat King immediately revealed his true colors after being threatened by Banbu.

Banbu asked, "Then who found it?"

Rat King said, "It wasn't me, I don't want the reward anymore."

This cunning fellow.

Banbu looked at Mazhu and asked, "Mazhu, tell me, who found the God-Given Seed?"

Mazhu raised his front paws, stood up, shook his head, and said, "It wasn't me."

Banbu looked at Shuizhu. Before he could ask, Shuizhu shook his head and said, "It wasn't me."

…

In a series down, it was Bai Zhu's turn again in the end.

Bai Zhu said in a panic, "It wasn't me."

Banbu asked, "Bai Zhu, tell me, who exactly found it? Don't be afraid. If they dare to bully you in the future, I'll let Daxiong help you get revenge."

Bai Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "I found it."

Before Banbu could order, Daxiong approached Bai Zhu with his bear paw raised.

Seeing this, Bai Zhu changed his words in a panic and shouted, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!"

"…" Banbu's head ached as he watched.
