Astral Cockroach

“Flame Cluster Silvergrass, you should be happy for Silverstripe.” Ma Yu said meaningfully:

“Silverstripe, you should also be happy. This is a once-in-ten-thousand-year opportunity. You can occupy the most fertile Reeds Bamboo Peak in the Brocade Screen Mountain Range. A warrior's growth depends not only on their lifeblood, but also the choice of territory, which is a key factor in determining future achievements.”

“The borderlands are barren, and there are not many good peaks. Reeds Bamboo Peak is one of the few treasures! When I was young, I followed traveling merchants across the continent and saw all kinds of races and tribes, all kinds of prosperity. I can guarantee to you that Reeds Bamboo Peak is definitely not inferior to those fertile lands.”

Hearing this, Silverstripe felt much better.

Flame Cluster Silvergrass was still worried and said, “But it's too dangerous there.”

“Danger and opportunity coexist.” A thick mental force came from afar, and Pu Tao flew in and landed, looking at Silverstripe's bulging snakeskin bag and teasing, “Little fellow, you've gained a lot.”

“Mmm, mmm.”

Silverstripe had a good impression of Pu Tao and happily nodded its antennae.

Ma Yu said seriously, “Flame Cluster Silvergrass, Pu Tao, your knowledge is still too little, and you lack keen insight. You haven't noticed the special features of Silverstripe's physique.”

“Look at its forelimbs, strong and powerful. Look at its toe tips, slender and sharp, divided into three sections instead of two, which will be more flexible. This seemingly small difference can lead to two completely different outcomes. Silverstripe will be more agile and nimble in battle, a natural-born excellent warrior.”

Silverstripe was not surprised by this.

This body structure was the result of its own soul's will deliberately guiding evolution, changing in a direction more conducive to fighting and flying.

Flame Cluster Silvergrass stubbornly said, “But it's still too dangerous, and, Ma Yu, you…”

Ma Yu interrupted, “Silverstripe has survived alone in the jungle for a year? This has already proven its ability! With my guidance, it won't be a big problem for it to gain a foothold in the Brocade Screen Mountain Range in the future. There are risks, but not as serious as you think.”

Pu Tao said, “Then let's prepare quickly and set off for an inspection. Depending on the specific situation, we can make a decision. If the situation is grim, then ask Mountain Master Iron Blade to organize a large-scale cleansing to at least wipe out the ferocious beasts around Reeds Bamboo Peak.”

Ma Yu said, “That's right, Mountain Master Iron Blade and I both mean the same thing. Let's go take a look at the situation and then make a decision.”

…

Ma Yu is a perennial herb.

It has flowers and seeds, but its main purpose is not for consumption. Ma Yu also grows spherical tubers underground, containing neurotoxins.

Few insect warriors choose Ma Yu as their lifeblood.

Red Ant Tribe warrior Ma Yu, when he was young, had a large number of lifebloods destroyed by forest wolf warriors who broke into his territory. Knowing that there was no hope for his future in this life, he simply bred a Ma Yu seed as his lifeblood.

Flame Cluster Silvergrass dug out three fist-sized gray-brown tubers from under Ma Yu's lifeblood. The three high-level warriors each took one, crushed them with stones, and then began to apply them.

They mainly applied it to the six legs and vein wing positions, especially the parts with barbs, repeatedly applying it several times.

Silverstripe understood at a glance that this practice was similar to "weapon poisoning".

An unsavory method. In battle, just piercing the opponent's skin a little, the toxin would invade the body, immediately causing a large area of nerve paralysis and muscle paralysis, lightly hindering the battle, and severely losing combat power.

Flame Cluster Silvergrass beckoned, “Silverstripe, come, apply it too. With the help of anesthetic toxin, you can easily kill giant beasts dozens of times your size.”

Silverstripe had long been curious about the toxic effects of the Ma Yu lifeblood. Hearing this, it stepped forward, dipped a tiny bit of juice with its toe tip, and stuck out its tongue to try it.

Seeing this, Flame Cluster Silvergrass cried out, “Silverstripe! Stop! That's not for eating!”

However, it was too late.

Silverstripe's half-opened mouth could no longer close, and it laboriously nodded its head up and down, trying to stay awake.

Because it was tasted by the tongue, the toxin quickly invaded the brain, and consciousness became somewhat blurred.

The spiracle breathing became rapid, and all the closed spare blood vessels and heart in the body were activated. A large amount of fresh blood was produced, and the blood flowed rapidly, urgently transporting the nutrients and energy scattered and stored throughout the body to the brain.

“Silverstripe?”

Flame Cluster Silvergrass called softly.

Ma Yu calmly said, “The toxin is not fatal. It may fall asleep, take a nap, and the numbness will disappear naturally.”

Pu Tao said, “Ma Yu, you misjudged this time. This little fellow was not knocked down by the anesthetic.”

Silverstripe stood on the ground, shaking its head for a while, staggering, and slowly stabilized its body, using mental force to convey information to Flame Cluster Silvergrass: “I'm hungry.”

Ma Yu asked in confusion, “How is that possible?”

Pu Tao explained, “I see it often active, doing regular exercises. Its physique must be stronger than ordinary level 5 primary warriors, and its anti-drug ability is certainly stronger.”

“Is that so?” Ma Yu was dubious, flapped its wings, and beckoned, “Time is of the essence, let's go.”

Flame Cluster Silvergrass followed and spread its wings, beckoning, “Silverstripe, come up first, there's something to eat when we get there.”

Silverstripe pushed the snakeskin bag into Ma Yu's nest chamber, flapped its wings and flew, landing on Flame Cluster Silvergrass's carapace.

Ma Yu led the way, and the group flapped their wings and flew quickly, crossing the vast jungle, and arrived at the Brocade Screen Mountain Range after half a day, turning to fly along the mountains.

Standing on Flame Cluster Silvergrass's back, looking down from the high altitude, Silverstripe finally saw the situation on the south side of the Brocade Screen Mountain Range: rolling hills, dense forests, open flat beaches and swamps, and calmly flowing rivers.

Flame Cluster Silvergrass took the initiative to explain, “Silverstripe, do you see that? South of the mountains, all the way to the Brocade River, a large area of territory belongs to the Brocade Screen Mountain Range. Hills, mountains, canyons, forests, swamps, rivers, the terrain is complex and difficult to control. More than thirty kinds of ferocious beasts live in it, and the number is unknown. Riots often occur, and it is a well-known dangerous place.”

“The Brocade River is also the border between the Fire Ant Kingdom and the Flower Ant Kingdom. Jiangnan is the territory of the Black and White Flower Ant Tribe. Also being borderlands, the Black and White Flower Ant Tribe's control over the border territory is not stronger than our Red Ant Tribe, so the beasts in the Brocade River Mountains can never be killed. Kill a batch today, and tomorrow there may be a batch coming across the river from the Black and White Flower Ant's territory.”

Silverstripe now understood what they meant by the danger of the Brocade River Mountains.

Pu Tao slowed down and walked side by side with Flame Cluster Silvergrass, saying, “Silverstripe, don't worry too much. With high-level warriors helping to patrol, ordinary beasts are not a big threat. As for beast warriors, the probability of them appearing is very small, and they are not stupid, they will not easily launch an attack on your territory.”

Silverstripe laboriously used mental force to ask, “What happened to the previous Mountain Master?”

“Oh, you mean Mountain Master Golden Bamboo?” Flame Cluster Silvergrass抢着抢着 replied, “They were encircling a group of beast warriors when an accident happened and they all fell.”

“The thing happened in…” Flame Cluster Silvergrass suddenly stalled and asked, “Pu Tao, was it last summer?”

Pu Tao replied, “Yes, last summer, the hot dry season.”

Ma Yu, who was flying in the front, said, “Then let's take Silverstripe to that place to take a look first.”

Silverstripe was again confused, and tried its best to use mental force to ask, “What place? What happened?”

Ma Yu said, “An evil place, something suddenly fell from the sky, the jungle was destroyed, the earth trembled, and the river flowed backwards… Afterwards, I followed Mountain Master Iron Blade to check. That area has been shrouded in an evil aura. The mountains, rocks, grass, trees, land, and even the backflowing river, were all dyed black!”

Hearing this, Silverstripe's heart skipped a beat, and all the hearts in its body beat violently.

The time was last summer, wasn't that when it was reborn?

Judging from the description, it must be the core of a Dominator-level life!
