Astral Cockroach

Little warriors all loved to perch on the heads of their elders.

The brown little warrior was no exception. Once familiar, it spent most of its time on Banbu's head, refusing to come down.

Unlike Firethorn when he was a child, who was lazy and a rascal, this little warrior was much more normal and also liked to play.

Baizhu often went to the rice fields at the foot of the mountain to catch locusts for it. This was the happiest time, as the little warrior instinctively liked to choose these weak insects to practice its hunting skills.

The reddish-brown little warrior was not at all shy and was not very afraid of the beast warriors on the mountain, including the burly bear. It liked Baizhu the most, and liked to climb on Baizhu's head and tease the tuft of silver-white mutated fluff on top of its head.

The sunlight in February was not yet harsh.

At noon, Banbu lazily lay at the entrance of the cave.

Baizhu held Baba, and the foolish fellow and the clever fellow chatted idly. The general content was Baba coaxing Baizhu to dig the reservoir more often and build the hydropower station as soon as possible.

Baizhu always insisted that as the deputy captain of the combat team, his main responsibility was combat and that he did not need to participate in physical labor. Working was fine, but Banbu would have to pay him double the salary.

Not far away, the little warrior was running back and forth, desperately hunting a rice locust nymph that had its hind legs pinched off, having a great time.

"Excuse me, is this Mountain Lord Banbu's Lizhu Peak?"

From afar, a vigorous mental power came from the southwest side of the mountain range.

This was a powerful mental power that ordinary insect kings did not possess, a strength that could only be achieved through soul enhancement.

The Ghost King and Butterfly King of Chiwu Mountain are here so early?

"Baizhu, send Baba into the cave, and keep an eye on the little warrior," Banbu instructed, stirring his mental power, and replied, "Yes!"

Flapping his wings, he took off and went down the mountain to greet them.

Banbu had met the Ghost King and Butterfly King of Chiwu Mountain before. Those who came to Lizhu Peak were the Lianwu Ghost King and the Furong Butterfly King.

"Lianwu Ghost King" was the heir to a hereditary title, inherited from generation to generation. He was specifically responsible for the management of the Lianwu Tree Sea in Chiwu Mountain, commanding all the ghost locust warriors in Chiwu Mountain who liked the Lianwu plant and lived in the Lianwu Tree Sea, participating in the operation of the Tree Sea.

The current Lianwu Ghost King was very old, approaching old age, and had a qualified successor, so he basically didn't have to worry about the affairs of the territory. Similarly, the Furong Butterfly King was also approaching old age.

"Mountain Lord Banbu!"

"Lianwu Ghost King, Furong Butterfly King, thank you both for your hard work."

The two sides met, greeted each other, and exchanged simple pleasantries.

"Please follow me up the mountain," Banbu led the way.

"Okay!" The Lianwu Ghost King carried the Furong Butterfly King on their way.

"Lianwu Ghost King, Furong Butterfly King, did you come along the Jinjiang River?"

Being old and not having much time left, they both seemed more amiable.

The Lianwu Ghost King replied, "No, we set off from Chiwu Mountain in early winter last year, traversed the continent, traveled to various countries along the way, visited many insect kings famous on the continent, and visited their territories."

"Insect kings wandering the continent generally do not provoke the tribes along the way, so there are no such dangers."

"We came here this time because we were passing by Lizhu Peak and wanted to take a look. We are about to enter old age, and we will not be able to move around freely after we are old, so we plan to take advantage of the fact that we can still move and walk around and see."

"Oh!" Banbu suddenly understood and asked, "Do you plan to travel the continent?"

"Almost," the Lianwu Ghost King said. "We arrived early because we plan to go to Changsheng County in your Fire Lotus Kingdom, then go to Xuesong County and Yousong County in the Shuo Locust Kingdom, and the Ice and Snow Mountain City in the Wolf Scorpion Kingdom... Finally, we will go to the Orchid Mountains and Yunshan County of the Dao Mantis Tribe to take a look."

"Going north, entering Changsheng County, passing through the Shuo Locust Kingdom, entering the Wolf Scorpion Kingdom, and then going east, entering the Bubu Kingdom, and going east until we reach the edge of the Illusory Color Maze, and then going south along the Illusory Color Maze is the Tiger Beetle Kingdom, the Dao Mantis Kingdom, and finally following the Jinjiang River, we will return to Lizhu Peak... Mountain Lord Banbu, the direction and route will not be wrong, right?"

"No mistake!" Banbu said, "The journey ahead is long and arduous. You two should rest and adjust for two days at Lizhu Peak first."

...

Banbu summoned the members of Lizhu Peak, brought them up the mountain in batches, introduced them to the Lianwu Ghost King and the Furong Butterfly King, took them on a tour of Lizhu Peak, treated them warmly, rested for two days, and Banbu personally sent them off to the north, all the way to Chijian County.

For the distinguished guests from Chiwu Mountain, the Chijian Locust King could not neglect them and sent Mountain Lord Huangwen to lead the way and send them to Changsheng County.

They were leisurely walking on the ground. After this big circle, it would take at least three months, and if they stayed for a few days in each place, it would probably take nearly four months.

Calculating it, the time was just right.

...

When the caravan passed by, Banbu specially bought a few more python-patterned honeydew melons.

The little warrior was born relatively early, and there was enough primal force food to strengthen its physique. It could molt and grow once a month, and it successfully advanced to a level 4 elementary warrior in mid-April.

In early summer, all kinds of fresh fruits were just newly formed green fruits.

Banbu summoned the members of the mountain for a gathering.

Eating melons, of course, there was something more important, and that was what kind of plant the reddish-brown little warrior liked, which determined where it would go.

After cutting the honeydew melon, Banbu cut off a small piece, placed it on a plate, and told it, "Eat slowly."

The little warrior was very smart and knew that eating too much primal force food was harmful, and no matter how much you gave it, it would not eat too much.

There was also a compressed biscuit on the plate. It ran back and forth between the biscuit and the honeydew melon, nibbling on the biscuit and then running to nibble on the honeydew melon. It also had an unusual habit: after eating its fill, it would lie on the remaining honeydew melon to rest, planning to eat it again after resting.

Seeing that it was almost time, Banbu asked as usual, "Little guy, tell me, what kind of plant do you like?"

The little warrior turned its head, looked at the northwest side of Lizhu Peak, shook its antennae, and replied, "Pear tree! Pear blossoms, beautiful!"

Pear blossoms? Pear tree.

That's good!

Playing with rice locusts every day, Banbu was afraid that it would like rice.

It's fine as long as it's not rice.

Xiangpu said in surprise, "Banbu, the pear tree forest at the foot of Lizhu Peak needs to be managed, this little guy is just right!"

Pear trees have many flowers and a lot of honey, which is the main food source for Xiangpu's bee colony. The fruit forest at the foot of the mountain is usually managed by Xiangpu's combat worker bees, but they are clumsy and not good at farming, and often need the help of Datou and the bamboo rat warriors.

Hongdao said, "Banbu, you can arrange for it to live on the small mountain peak between Lizhu Peak and Xiangfei Peak!"

To the northwest of Lizhu Peak, about 5 kilometers away, there are two continuous small mountain peaks. The concentration of primal force is not bad. Passing the small mountain peak is the location of the mountain reservoir under construction.

Arranging this little warrior to live there, towards Lizhu Peak, it can manage the pear tree orchard, and towards Xiangfei Peak, it can manage the reservoir's water storage and drainage.

A perfect arrangement that kills two birds with one stone!

"Okay, it's settled then!" Banbu said, "Being so close to Lizhu Peak, it can also be considered a member of our Lizhu Peak."

There is a difference in treatment between Lizhu Peak members and non-Lizhu Peak members.

It was clear abuse of power, taking special care of his direct descendants.

No one had any objections.

Banbu then asked, "What would be a good name?"

Xiangpu suggested, "Xiangli!"

"..." Banbu said, "It's so strong, it will definitely be a wise and brave warrior in the future, not fragrant at all, not suitable!"

Hongmi suddenly became clever and抢着喊道, "Dongguan Pear is the largest pear variety, then it's called Dongguan, or Dongli, or Guanli."

Hongdao rarely didn't argue and nodded in agreement, saying, "I think Guanli is a good name."

Banbu also thought so, and finally decided, "Then it's called Guanli."

Banbu continued to arrange, "Hongmi, you set off tonight, go to Chijian County, notify the Chijian County Lord, and let it prepare two little warriors. According to the old rules, send them to Lizhu Peak the year after next. Nag a little more, it's best to have a little warrior who also likes pear trees."

After Banbu finished speaking, he added, "Those two small mountain peaks will be called Guanli Peak, and each will be inhabited by a little warrior who likes pear trees, both of whom will be considered members of our Lizhu Peak."

Hongdao then said, "Banbu, the Dongguan Pear tree species is the symbolic plant of the Horned Locust Tribe. It is said that the Horned Locust Kingdom has the closest relationship with our Fire Lotus Kingdom. Is it possible to get some pear seeds from Dongguan County?"

"It's okay to ask for two as life seeds, but large-scale planting is impossible. Our Lizhu Peak has all kinds of precious bamboos, so there's no need to offend other tribes' taboos." Banbu thought for a while and said, "Ready-made high-quality tree species cultivated by other tribes are definitely not okay, but we can entrust a caravan to search for the original species of Dongguan Pear."

The original species are tree species that grow in the wild, naturally evolve, and naturally grow.

Based on the original species, excellent offspring that are propagated through large-scale planting, screening and breeding, or gene mutation are called derived species.

This was a term Banbu learned in Chiwu Mountain, which was not in the inherited memory.
