Astral Cockroach

#205 - Traps and Bait

Rain Bamboo rice possesses two rare enhancement effects.

The primary effect is strength, rare, but not unique.

It also has the effect of enhancing the soul, which seems to be the first time I've heard of it. Anyway, Banbu, Mountain Lord Huabai, and Mountain Lord Tiedao have never heard of any other original force plants that can enhance the soul.

What is the use of strengthening the soul? Stronger mental power, increased detection range and sensitivity. It has practical uses in both combat and life.

Unfortunately, it's just a side effect. The soul enhancement effect of a single Rain Bamboo rice grain is very weak, so the price should not be too high.

The Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe is born with a strong soul. Its value is greatly reduced when it falls on them, and it may even be useless.

Mountain Lord Huabai was a little depressed and asked, "Banbu, what price are you planning to sell it for?"

Banbu asked back, "Mountain Lord Huabai, the main effect is to enhance strength, and the soul enhancement effect is very weak. This is an expensive luxury item. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Mountain Lord Huabai said, "I've already paid the deposit, so I have to buy some back, right? However, just a little is enough, no need for more."

Banbu was in a great mood and said readily, "The value of the strength enhancement effect alone should be 6 original stones, plus the weak soul enhancement effect, the price will be increased by 4 original stones. I plan to sell it to the caravan at a unit price of 10 original stones. Mountain Lord Huabai, what do you think?"

"Luxury item… It's reasonable." Mountain Lord Huabai tapped his antennae and emphasized, "The soul enhancement effect is not very useful to our Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe, so the price should be cheaper. I don't need too many, I'll just send some to County Princess Qiufeng to try it out."

Banbu said, "Then the unit price will be 8 original stones, how many do you want?"

"500," Mountain Lord Huabai asked, "Banbu, we are so familiar, can the deposit be refunded? Refund me 1,000 original stones as a deposit."

"Okay!" Banbu readily agreed.

The Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe is a special race. If it were another race, Rain Bamboo fruit would definitely be a hot commodity and there would be no worries about selling it.

The raccoon warrior sensed that the God-given seed on the mountain was ripe and ran back again.

Big Bear chased after him and drove him away.

There were no other accidents.

In a total of five days, the bamboo fruit and bamboo rice matured one after another, and the harvest was relatively smooth.

Mountain Lord Huabai got the things and left in a hurry.

With Big Bear, a Mountain Lord-level combat force, at Lizhu Peak, Mountain Lord Tiedao also temporarily returned.

Datou has been responsible for counting the day and night time.

The Emerald Bamboo fruit has matured and been harvested, and the Zijing Bamboo rice bloodthorn God-given seed is also about to mature. The statistical data is initially formed.

On the planet under our feet, one seasonal cycle takes 365 days and nights, which is one year.

It's a very coincidental coincidence.

Banbu happened to have a set of calendars in his human inheritance memory that could be directly used.

One year is divided into 12 months.

Define January to March as spring; April to June as summer; July to September as autumn; October to December as winter.

Define the time when the Emerald Bamboo God-given seed draws out flower spikes as May 15th, and the time when the bamboo fruit matures as July 19th to 21st.

Based on this, use Arabic numerals as symbols and bamboo tubes as carriers to create a calendar.

Every day that passes, an "×" is used to cross out the corresponding number of the day. In this way, you can clearly know exactly which day you are in the year, and see at a glance how many days are left until winter and how many days are left until the beginning of spring…

Precisely defining the changes in seasons and climate to the day is most convenient for preparing for the upcoming farm work in advance.

For example, the thorn fruit of the bloodthorn God-given seed at the foot of the mountain will begin to mature around August 10th, and the time will continue until around August 20th.

The maturity time of the grass seeds of the Zijing God-given seed is in mid-September.

The Cattail God-given seed will not mature until October, at the end of the month.

The vitality of original force creatures is strong, and the change in temperature has little effect on the growth pattern of original force plants. The flowering and fruiting time of those ordinary life seed plants are relatively stable.

Compiling a calendar is also of great help for better management of ordinary life seeds.

Banbu was also very shameless and named this year "Banbu Year 1" after his own name, and in the future, each year would be "Banbu Year 2", "Banbu Year 3", and so on.

Due to the threat of the raccoon warrior, Banbu now does not dare to let Hongdao go down the mountain to manage the rice fields alone. Du Zhu and Hongmi, the two little ones, are also restricted and cannot leave Lizhu Peak to play.

Banbu racked his brains, wondering what method he could use to kill that super-fast raccoon warrior.

Felines are small and light, with agile movements.

The seven bamboo rat warriors are also very small and not slow, and there is still hope of encircling and suppressing them together, but these seven guys are useless and scared to death.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is a bit unreasonable to force rats to catch raccoons.

If you can't catch up, then use traps?!

Banbu asked the bamboo rat warriors to dig pits at the foot of the mountain.

Jar-shaped deep pits, filled with water at the bottom.

The entrance of the cave is covered with dead branches and large leaves, and then covered with a layer of floating soil.

Finally, sprinkle two arborvitae seeds as bait.

A total of 8 traps were dug in all directions.

After setting up, early the next morning, Banbu took the seven bamboo rat warriors down the mountain to check.

South trap.

The arborvitae seeds are gone, and the trap is still intact.

"What's going on?" Banbu asked.

"I don't know!" Rat King wondered.

Banbu picked up a stone, approached the trap, and gently put it down.

Immediately, the dead branches covered with floating soil could not bear the weight and were crushed by the stone.

There is no problem with the trap.

Banbu asked, "Did that raccoon come last night?"

Rat King said, "He runs around our Lizhu Peak every night."

Banbu asked, "Then how did he take the arborvitae seeds away?"

"This…" Rat King turned his head and shouted, "Baizhu, aren't you responsible for guarding this position? How did that raccoon warrior take the arborvitae seeds away?"

"I…" Baizhu lowered his head and said, "I was scared, so I hid, I didn't dare to look, I don't know either."

Banbu waved his antennae and said, "Let's go, check the next trap."

The result was the same, the bait was gone, and the trap was intact.

Before Banbu could question him, Rat King took the initiative to analyze and said, "Banbu, that raccoon warrior is vigilant. He must have sensed that there was a hollow space below with his mental power, and realized that stepping on it would cause him to fall into the trap…"

"Are beast warriors so smart?" Banbu didn't believe it, moved his antennae, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next trap to see."

All the traps were checked, and they were all the same. The bait was gone, and the traps were intact.

Cunning raccoon!

Two days of hard work were wasted, and 16 arborvitae seeds were also lost.

Banbu was even more unwilling. He traveled to the Qinggang Mountains and obtained two leaves from the poison pomegranate tree.

The poison pomegranate is a highly poisonous plant specially introduced by the Qinggang Mountains for combat. As a life seed, everything from top to bottom, except for the pulp and seeds, contains deadly toxins.

Soak the leaves in water, soak out the poisonous juice, then put the pomegranate seeds in, spread them out, and dry them at room temperature. The deadly poison is wrapped on the pomegranate seeds.

There is a very small smell, but the pomegranate leaves and seeds are originally one, and when mixed together, it is difficult for normal creatures to distinguish them. Hundreds of years ago, the Qinggang Mountains were as desolate as the Jinping Mountains are now. Back then, County Princess Qinggang used this method to poison many beast warriors.

Banbu was even more cunning and placed the poisonous seeds on top of the traps.

That raccoon warrior has tasted the sweetness once, and when he sees the poisonous food on the trap, he will probably think that Banbu is being stupid and relax his vigilance.
