Astral Cockroach

With the Blood Thorns, the fruit of the God-given Seed of the Blood Thorn, ripening, there was absolutely no need to worry about being attacked by beast warriors.

The warriors of the four major mountain ranges, the Iron Saber Mountain Range and the Water Banyan Mountain Range being the closest, and the Sheep Hoof Mountain Range and the Red Tangerine Mountain Range being slightly farther away, received notifications and, calculating the time precisely, would arrive at Limpid Bamboo Peak in succession every day to help eat the pulp of the Blood Thorn fruit.

Every night, at least 20 warriors stayed behind, plus the Iron Saber Mountain Lord was present to oversee, unless it was a beast swarm that had formed a considerable scale, it was impossible to threaten the safety of Limpid Bamboo Peak.

The Great Yellow Banyan also came once, bringing 200 banyan fruits and taking away 1,000 Blood Thorn seeds. Banbu would have to supply it with another 1,000 seeds next year.

After the Blood Thorn fruit, the Purple Gold Bamboo Rice would ripen right after.

Teams of big-headed worker ants carried the sun-dried Blood Thorn seeds, packed them into spider silk bags, and stored them in the mountain cave.

Again, teams of big-headed worker ants carried fresh Purple Gold Bamboo Rice, spread them outside the mountain cave to dry in the sun, and stored them in bags after drying.

The harvest season of autumn was full of joy and delight.

Especially with the addition of Du Zhu and Hong Mi, two little fellows jumping up and down the mountain, adding a touch of vitality.

Banbu needed to reserve 18,000 bamboo rice grains for sale to the merchant team, leaving 11,520 grains.

He would give 5,000 grains to Big Bear to help it grow and advance to Mountain Lord.

He would give 3,000 grains to the Rat King. The Rat King was getting old and needed to grow and advance to Mountain Lord as soon as possible.

Banbu kept the remaining grains for himself, and he would eat adequately every day to ensure his growth rate. It would be best if he could advance to a Level 6 Advanced Warrior before next spring, and gestate the God-given Seed in his life pouch, and then sow it.

In addition, the Skyfire Cockroach Tribe was clamoring to reclaim and expand territory next year. Banbu was 100% certain that a large number of beast warriors would roam into the Iron Saber Mountain Range and the Brocade Screen Mountain Range, and the surrounding other mountain ranges would be affected to varying degrees.

At that time, the Iron Saber Mountain Lord would be too busy to take care of himself and would not be able to spare energy to look after Banbu.

Big Bear should be able to advance to Mountain Lord, but Big Bear alone was definitely not enough, and Banbu also had to improve his own strength as soon as possible.

… …

The quantity of Purple Gold Bamboo Rice seemed large, but the actual amount was not much. Banbu only left himself less than 4,000 grains, which was not enough to eat, and the effect of promoting growth was also a bit unsatisfactory.

From late spring to early winter, the grass seeds condensed from the God-given Seed of the Cattail matured. The yield in the first year was very low, and the quality was still inferior.

Banbu set off with a small amount of cattail seeds and 3,000 Blood Thorn seeds, heading straight to Crimson Firm County to visit the Crimson Firm County Lord.

The 3,000 Blood Thorn seeds were ordered by the Crimson Firm County Lord last year. The deposit had been paid, and the remaining payment was 1,000 Origin Stones. Banbu bought 100 Crimson Firm fruits at a unit price of 40 Origin Stones, and got 2,000 Origin Stones.

He paid a polite visit to the Fire Lotus Bee Queen, informing her of the situation of the cattails, and without staying long, turned around and went straight to the Blue Ridge Mountain Range to visit the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord.

The Iron Tallow fruit was of good quality, had a good strengthening effect, and the price was super affordable. The only drawback was that it was really difficult to communicate with the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord.

"Iron Tallow Mountain Lord, I am Banbu from Limpid Bamboo Peak, may I visit you?"

"You may."

This time, the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord was not working in the mountains and forests, but was standing in front of a flat square, watching the ant colony sun-drying the Iron Tallow fruits.

This time, the little ant king named "Strong" did not flee in panic, but timidly hid at the entrance of the ant nest, observing.

"Iron Tallow Mountain Lord!" Banbu landed and said straightforwardly: "I need to buy some Iron Tallow fruits."

The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord was even more straightforward, asking: "How many?"

Banbu said: "I brought 2,000 Origin Stones."

The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord shouted: "Strong, command the ant colony to count 400 Iron Tallow fruits and give them to him."

Strong commanded the ant colony to act.

Banbu took out the Origin Stones and handed them to the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord for counting, then took out 10 cattail seeds, handed them to the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord, and said: "This is the first batch produced this year. The Cattail Bee Queen who gestated this God-given Seed is only a beginner warrior, and the quality is low, but it will improve next year, you can try it."

"It's okay." The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord gave a brief evaluation, and asked: "How much are you selling it for?"

Banbu said: "After the quality is improved, it will be the standard inferior quality, 10 cattail seeds, priced at 1 Origin Stone."

Cattails grow in clusters, each cluster drawing 8 ears, and each ear can condense 64 cattail seeds. The grains are round and small, even smaller than the grass seeds condensed by Banbu's ordinary Xun Grass life seed, about 1 mm in diameter.

The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord's mind turned very quickly. After a little deliberation, he roughly had a count in his mind, and said: "Okay."

Banbu asked: "How many do you want?"

The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord said: "The little bee queen grows very slowly, I will buy as much as you are willing to sell."

"… …" Banbu couldn't help but glance at the huge Iron Tallow Tree God-given Seed that was more than 40 meters tall in the distance: It is said that the number of fruits is particularly large, and it produces tens of thousands of Iron Tallow fruits a year?

He could feel that the Iron Tallow Tree Spirit was frantically conveying angry and urging thoughts to the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord. Like ordinary tree spirits, it extremely repelled all strange creatures.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Iron Tallow Mountain Lord, I still have a small matter that I need your help with." Banbu waved his antennae and said, "It seems that I have scared the Iron Tallow Tree Spirit? Let's go over there to talk."

"Okay." The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord directly flapped his wings and ascended into the air, landing in the pear orchard in the distance.

Banbu followed and landed.

The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord asked: "What's the matter?"

Banbu said: "I plan to plant some pear trees near my territory, and I want to ask you for a batch of high-quality pear tree seeds."

After Banbu finished speaking, he added: "The kind of pear tree that blooms a lot and bears a lot of fruit. If it is really precious, I can spend Origin Stones to buy it."

"Pear tree? Has your territory given birth to a little warrior who likes pear trees?" The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord's emotions fluctuated for the first time, and it was a violent fluctuation.

"Cough cough, that's not the case … …" Banbu was a little embarrassed, and with a flash of inspiration, he said: "I think pear blossoms are particularly beautiful, and pears are also a particularly delicious fresh fruit. I want to plant some to enrich the mountain range's tree species, so that the mountain range warriors can have more choices when choosing life seed plants in the future."

"That's right, pear trees are the most excellent tree species!" The Iron Tallow Mountain Lord became excited and asked: "Banbu, are you planning to cultivate pear trees?"

"That … … I have such a plan." Banbu said: "Plant a moderate amount, and if a little warrior who likes pear trees is born in the mountain range in the future, I will cultivate them on a large scale."

"You have many God-given Seeds, your mountain range will be very prosperous, and there will definitely be more than one little warrior who likes pear trees in the future!"

Speaking of pear trees, the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord suddenly changed his personality, became a chatterbox, revealed the face of a profiteer, enthusiastically promoted, and bewitched, saying:

"Banbu, you can plant them on a large scale in the mountain range first, and if a corresponding little warrior is born in the future, you can directly take over."

"Banbu, do you know, pear trees are so spectacular when they bloom, the trees are full of them, as white as snow. Planting a pear orchard, the fragrance spreads across several mountain peaks, and when the wind blows, the petals fall like snowflakes … …"

"Pear trees are plants that require low soil fertility, are drought-resistant, and are very easy to manage. Fertilize them once or twice each in spring, summer, and autumn. No irrigation is required during the dry season, they can survive."

"I have currently collected and planted a total of 39 pear tree varieties, including 8 rare pear varieties including Honey Pear and Eight-Sided Pear. I have all the seeds, and there are also many ready-made two-year-old saplings. Come, I'll take you to see them."

"Um … … Okay." Banbu was a little confused by what he said, so he could only answer like this.

Speaking of pear trees, the Iron Tallow Mountain Lord became more and more energetic. He visited the garden full of pear trees, and at the same time explained to Banbu the habits and characteristics of various types of pear trees, and explained his experience in obtaining high-quality pear species through hybridization and grafting techniques.

Before leaving, he packed a copy of each of the 39 kinds of pear tree seeds and gave them to Banbu.

It was a full big spider silk bag!
