Astral Cockroach

Due to the Red Roach and Flying Fire Roach tribes respectively clearing out the beast warriors lurking in the Da'an Mountains and Jinping Mountains last year, this autumn was much calmer. No more news of attacks came from the Iron Saber Mountains and Red Kumquat Mountains.

During the clearing process, the beast warriors were all driven to the other side of the Jin River, and as a result, the Black and White Flower Roach tribe suffered constant bad news this year.

It can be guessed that the populous Black and White Flower Roach tribe will surely gather their forces in winter to encircle and suppress the beast warriors who intrude into their border territory again.

Then, the beast warriors will flee to the Red Roach tribe's territory on this side of the Jin River, and next year, the Red Roach tribe will again encounter beast troubles.

It's like kicking a ball, with the Jin River as the boundary, kicking it back and forth, the ball getting smaller and smaller, eventually disappearing.

After completing the autumn harvest of their territories, King Red Roach and Princess Yuli immediately organized their tribe's combat power and arrived at Lizhu Peak.

This year, they will conduct a clearing operation in the Jinping Mountains.

Camellia was also called upon to help track down the beast warriors.

This is a clearing operation lasting four and a half months.

In the end, Banbu still couldn't stay idle, directing the Lizhu Peak members to open up open spaces, dig ponds, and build canals, preparing to expand the bamboo planting scale next year.

Upon seeing this, Mountain Lord Huangwen and the other stationed warriors, of course, couldn't stand idly by and all went down the mountain to help.

Four months of labor, expanding the pond to No. 20 in one go, and also excavating the 3rd river.

The nursery was prepared in advance.

Early spring in January.

Banbu immediately directed the members on the mountain to make nutrient clusters and sow bamboo seeds. Seedlings of various bamboo species can be transplanted down the mountain around early February. Datou and Cattail can direct more worker ants and worker bees to help, so Banbu doesn't have to personally participate in the seedling cultivation.

In front of the mountain cave, Banbu, along with White Bamboo, is making a kind of bamboo product.

King Red Roach and Princess Yuli arrived.

"Banbu, what are you doing?" Princess Yuli is straightforward, seeing something new and directly asking.

King Red Roach, looking at the bare land below the mountain that has been completely destroyed, said solemnly: "Banbu, Cattail's promotion to advanced warrior and the expansion of the bee colony are the times when a lot of honey is needed."

Princess Yuli moved her antennae and said: "Yes, you can't always let Big Bear go and raid wild bee hives to replenish honey for Cattail's bee colony, right?"

Last autumn, when the bee colony lacked food, Banbu had Big Bear take White Bamboo to rob the wild bees in the Jinping Mountains and Iron Saber Mountains, which ensured the bee colony survived the winter safely.

But this approach is obviously not a long-term solution.

The jungle in front of the mountain has been completely destroyed, and Cattail's bee colony has nowhere to collect honey.

"This is called a beehive, for mobile honey collection." White Bamboo is getting more and more mischievous. After meeting more times, he is no longer afraid of Princess Yuli and King Red Roach, pointing to the bamboo product in front of him and introducing: "Banbu said, let Cattail direct the bee colony to build nests in the beehive, and then you can carry the beehive to places with abundant honey sources to collect honey."

Princess Yuli and Princess Red Roach looked at each other upon hearing this, and then stared at the "beehive" for careful observation.

Ma bamboo bamboo tubes are used.

The thickest bamboo section at the bottom of the bamboo pole is selected, about 20 centimeters in diameter, and each section is about 0.6 meters long, with three bamboo tubes forming one.

One end of the bamboo tube is open, and the worker ants directed by Datou drill in to bite through the middle bamboo section.

Each beehive is composed of multiple bamboo tubes. The cylindrical shape is not easy to fix, so it is designed as a regular equilateral triangle, with 6 bamboo tubes in the bottom layer, 5 in the second layer, 4 in the third layer... and 1 in the sixth layer.

Holes are opened between the bamboo tubes for connection, the inner layer is bonded and stabilized with amber juice, and the outer layer is wrapped with woven hemp rope. Finally, two lifting ropes are left, and just bamboo is used to make a "handle" for easy carrying and flying.

This "beehive" was designed by Banbu with his own wisdom. Two finished products have been made, and Cattail has personally inspected it and it can be used.

Banbu is very satisfied, triumphant, and begins to introduce in detail: "King Red Roach, Princess Yuli, you should know that the honeycomb (nest) of sour bees is long and narrow, just suitable for building nests in bamboo tubes..."

"I understand." Princess Yuli doesn't have the patience to listen. The structure of the honeycomb is very simple. After scanning it with mental power, a little bit of thinking immediately understands the principle. The only thing worth marveling at is Banbu's creativity.

I even came up with such a bad idea to solve the problem of insufficient honey sources. Cattail still has to risk leaving the hive and walking around to direct the bee colony to collect honey.

"Poor little queen bee." Princess Yuli muttered, and said: "Banbu, after a clearing operation, King Red Roach can search several times. There are no more beast warriors in the Jinping Mountains that can threaten the safety of Lizhu Peak. The danger has been initially eliminated, and I plan to withdraw the 10 advanced warriors stationed there."

"Withdraw... so soon..." Banbu knew it, and felt a thousand reluctance in his heart.

Having 10 more advanced warriors stationed not only guarantees the safety of Lizhu Peak, but also helps to protect about 10 million ordinary small cockroaches, with a good chance of giving birth to small warriors, which is equivalent to borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Banbu tentatively said: "Princess Yuli, um, I need 10 warriors to help carry the beehives."

"Carry beehives?" Princess Yuli can see Banbu's reluctance, but isn't this reason too far-fetched? She said angrily: "This is a trivial matter. Doesn't Prince Red Roach still have 10 advanced warriors? One mountain lord and 5 advanced warriors are enough, right? And you don't need to run too far. There are very rich honey sources in the jungle of the Iron Saber Mountains north of the mountain."

"Princess Yuli is right, but..." Banbu said: "Princess Yuli, I also plan to let the bee colony go to the Yanti Mountains to collect nectar from the two God-given species of weeping banyan and large yellow fruit banyan, and brew queen bee honey to cultivate a few more combat worker bees."

The territories of King Red Roach and Princess Yuli both have sour bee queens helping to manage them. They are clear about the role of combat worker bees in the bee colony. Hearing this, their antennae immediately stood up: That's right! Many fellow warriors who have God-given species don't have bee colonies, and mobile beehives can also be used to pick up leaks!

"Fire Lotus Queen Bee has always wanted to cultivate a few more combat worker bees to help deal with various matters. Banbu, please work hard and make 10 beehives for me." King Red Roach spoke first.

"King Red Roach, 10 is too many, right? Where are there so many God-given species for bee colonies to collect honey?" Princess Yuli retorted and said: "Banbu, just make 5 for me, and be quick, don't miss this year's flowering period."

"5 is enough, make 5 first and you can make do with them, and make some more later." Banbu said happily: "Princess Yuli, I'm doing you such a big favor, shouldn't you also help me? There are too few warriors on Lizhu Peak. During the spring, summer, and autumn seasons, when collecting honey, the beehives are moved back and forth, and Cattail follows, there is a certain risk, and some warriors are indeed needed to follow and protect her."

"One year!" Princess Yuli said: "Banbu, I can only help you for one year at most!"

King Red Roach also said: "Banbu, after this year's clearing, there are no more beast warriors in the Jinping Mountains that can threaten your safety. After clearing it again next year, the danger will be almost completely eliminated, and Mountain Lord Huangwen and the others should also evacuate."

"Okay, one year is enough..." Banbu said: "Red fruit camellia has already been sown. King Red Roach, Princess Yuli, do you want to visit?"

"Of course!" Princess Yuli said: "We came here mainly to see your arborescent God-given species. I have already sensed its aura, strengthening the flame ability, it seems to be as grumpy as the brown fruit camellia tree spirit."
