Astral Cockroach

Yuli County was an ancient county established earlier than Chijian County, and its insect population was even larger than that of Chijian County.

After Yuli County Lord discovered the inadequate defense of Lizhu Peak, she immediately transferred 10 senior warriors from the county to assist in the defense. A total of 40 elite warriors were selected to take turns guarding the peak on a quarterly basis.

Of course, Banbu was happy to accept this, arranging for these warriors to reside in the northwest direction of Lizhu Peak... guarding the melon fields, and also helping to remove the wildly growing weeds on the mountain.

…

Lizhu Peak was attacked, and a large number of the rain bamboo's God-given seeds' stalks were destroyed, but then miraculously grew back.

The news spread.

Lord Daye came to inspect the state of the rain bamboo God-given seeds, and pre-ordered a batch of rain bamboo seeds.

Lord Qinggang, Lord Chuirong, Mountain Lord Hongrong, and Mountain Lord Hongju also took the time to visit, touring around and carefully examining Banbu's various bamboo life seeds, and then asked for some rain bamboo seeds, intending to take them back to their mountain warriors for life seed cultivation.

For insect races living in the borderlands, attacks on their territory by beast warriors are an unavoidable threat.

The news reached the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe, and Mountain Lord Huabai ran over, representing Lord Qiufeng, to order 500 seeds each of emerald bamboo and rain bamboo annually at a fixed price of 1 raw stone per seed.

After several days of excitement, Lizhu Peak returned to peace.

…

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Late at night, the sound of bamboo rat warriors grinding their teeth as a warning suddenly echoed from the foot of the mountain.

Shu Dawang, who lived nearby, immediately ran to Banbu's cave to report.

"Banbu, that civet cat warrior has appeared again, on the northwest side... Zizhu discovered it. It's being chased by a clouded leopard warrior and looks like it's about to die..."

"Where?!" Banbu was startled, stood up, and said, "Let's go down the mountain and take a look."

Down the mountain.

The civet cat warrior lay in a thicket of thorns, breathing weakly.

Banbu scanned it with his mental power, confirming that it was not injured, but was simply exhausted.

Shu Dawang disliked the civet cat warrior's aura and stood at a distance to observe.

Zizhu hid deep in the tunnel of its hiding place, refusing to show its head.

Just then, Baizhu ran over, asking as it ran, "Banbu, what's going on? Are we being attacked by beast warriors again at Lizhu Peak?"

Banbu pointed its antennae towards the blood thorn thicket and said, "Go, drag it out."

Baizhu approached, peered into the blood thorn thicket, and turned its head to run away.

Banbu pinned it down with a claw and said calmly, "If you dare to run, I'll dock your salary for a year."

"Banbu..." Baizhu wailed and begged for mercy, turned its head to look, and found that the civet cat warrior was dying, and its courage suddenly grew, reaching out a paw to touch its tail.

The civet cat warrior slowly raised its head, glanced at it, and bared its teeth.

"Ah!" Baizhu was so frightened that it jumped up, ran out of the blood thorn thicket in a puff of smoke, ran a distance, felt something was wrong, and ran back, saying seriously:

"Banbu, I'm not afraid of it, but I feel like it's very hungry right now. I suggest we get it something to eat first. Once it's full, it will have the strength to come out on its own."

Banbu said, "Then go up the mountain and bring down a piece of jerky."

"Okay!" Baizhu was relieved and ran up the mountain.

Shu Dawang observed from a distance for a while, and seeing that the civet cat warrior was indeed not a threat, and thinking that it was the boss among the bamboo rat warriors, and could not be inferior to Baizhu, it also mustered its courage and stepped forward.

"Banbu, Zizhu said that it also sensed another wave of primordial energy at the time, like the aura of a clouded leopard warrior."

Banbu said, "It's probably because those beast warriors discovered that it was passing information to our Lizhu Peak, leading to the failure of the sneak attack, so they are chasing it."

Shu Dawang said, "That should be the case. Clouded leopards are also very fast and good at hunting in the jungle."

Shu Dawang asked the question it was most concerned about: "Banbu, are you planning to keep it?"

Banbu said, "If it's willing, then we'll keep it."

Shu Dawang shrank its neck and said nothing.

Banbu added, "You can let it go to the south of the mountain and live with Daxiong. It won't affect you."

Shu Dawang said, "Then we'll move and live in the north of the mountain!"

Banbu was speechless and said, "Okay then."

…

Baizhu was indeed clever, dragging a python skin bag filled with all kinds of beast meat.

They were all in strips, cut from the beast warriors who had attacked last time. They had been air-dried, but the weather had been bad for the past few days and they hadn't been completely processed yet.

Beast warrior meat doesn't taste very good, but in terms of nutrition, it far surpasses ordinary beast meat, and eating it before and after advancement is beneficial for growth.

Baizhu opened the bag and said, "This is saber-toothed tiger meat, this is forest wolf meat, this is bridge crocodile meat, this is rosy boa meat, this is clouded leopard meat. Banbu, which flavor do you think it likes?"

"Rosy boa, I guess." Banbu said, "Chop it up a little more and send it in."

Bamboo rat paws are nimble.

Baizhu cut off a small piece and threw it into the blood thorn thicket, passing through the obstruction of the branches and leaves, accurately landing beside the civet cat warrior.

The civet cat warrior struggled to stand up, swallowed the piece of meat, and then fell down again.

Baizhu shrank back, cut off another piece, and threw it beside it.

The latest and most complete novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

This time, the civet cat warrior rested for a long time before getting up to eat, and after eating, it did not fall down again. Two sapphire-like eyes emitted a faint light, staring intently at Baizhu.

"Banbu... why do I feel like it wants to eat me?" Baizhu was so frightened that it shivered all over. It turned its head and saw that Shu Dawang had disappeared.

"Banbu, I think it can eat on its own now." Baizhu dropped a sentence and ran away.

Banbu stretched out its forelimbs and pinned Baizhu down, saying, "It's urging you to cut the meat faster. Continue!"

"Okay." Baizhu trembled and threw a strip of rosy boa meat into the blood thorn thicket.

The civet cat warrior glanced at Baizhu, slowly stepped forward, and leisurely buried its head in eating.

Baizhu emphasized again, "Banbu, I feel like it wants to eat me!"

"Alright, you can go." Banbu saw that Baizhu was so scared that it was about to pee its pants, and couldn't bear to torture it any longer.

Baizhu received the order and disappeared in a flash.

This was the fastest speed it had ever unleashed in its life.

Then, a shadow flashed and ran back, asking in surprise, "Banbu, look, have my 《Phantom Traceless》 footwork reached the minor accomplishment realm you mentioned?"

"..." Banbu replied, "Yes."

Baizhu said, "Banbu, you said Shu Dawang is a cultivation genius?! It hasn't even reached the minor accomplishment realm!"

Banbu said, "Baizhu, you're very lucky, this is called a breakthrough."

"Breakthrough?" Baizhu's eyes darted around, looking at the civet cat warrior, understanding the meaning of the word, and flashed away, running towards Shu Dawang's territory.

…

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Banbu dropped the silk bag next to the thorn thicket.

The civet cat warrior stepped forward, dragged a piece of jerky out of the bag, and immediately burrowed into the depths of the blood thorn thicket, burying its head in eating.

Banbu asked, "Clouded leopard warriors are chasing you?"

"Clouded leopard warriors?" The civet cat warrior thought for a while before understanding what Banbu meant, and said, "Yes, the clouded leopard warriors want to kill me."

Banbu asked, "Where do they live? Do they have a fixed territory?"

"Yes." The civet cat warrior wagged its tail, pointing to the northwest direction of the mountain range, and said, "Over there, very, very far away, there are trees, the fruit is delicious."

Banbu looked, and had a rough idea in its mind: It should be the wild oil tea tree God-given seed in Cloud Mist Mountain!

Banbu asked, "The fruit matured not long ago, right?"

"Yes." The civet cat warrior said, "I was the first to discover the tree, but they won't give me the fruit."

Banbu said, "That's called the oil tea tree God-given seed, the fruit is called oil tea fruit, it strengthens earth and stone element abilities, but it's not very helpful for your growth."

"Then stay and live at Lizhu Peak." Banbu pointed to the south side of the mountain and said, "There's a black bear warrior there, its name is Daxiong, you can live with it, it can protect you."

The civet cat warrior didn't answer, burying its head in eating.
