Astral Cockroach

The Longevity Roach King was quite interesting.

While alive, it selected outstanding juniors and distributed 1000 tokens. After death, the remains of the Longevity Peach Divine Seed were divided into 1000 portions and distributed.

No one expected that this approach also had a backup plan.

Both the Fire Peach Roach King and the Oil Peach Roach King were quite good, but each had certain flaws. They each had their own prestige in the tribe, with a direct line of descendants forming an entire branch. The key was that the Longevity Roach King especially liked both of them and couldn't decide who to choose to inherit the position of Longevity County Lord, so it simply let the later juniors choose.

1000 tokens, voting election?

This approach should be the first of its kind among insect tribes.

… …

Oil Pear County Lord went to Hanging Banyan County to notify Big Yellow Fruit Banyan to go to Longevity County to receive the award and vote.

Banbu had no interest in the future Longevity County Lord.

Without the Longevity Peach Divine Seed, Longevity County would not collapse immediately, but its influence in the Myriad Race Continent, or even the Fire Roach Kingdom, would definitely gradually decrease.

On the contrary, Li Bamboo Peak, which possessed Giant Dragon Bamboo, Nine-Leaf Red Lotus, Tata Tree, and Sacred Bamboo, would only become stronger and stronger, completely surpassing Longevity County was only a matter of time.

Banbu didn't need to run over to join in the fun.

Originally, Li Bamboo Peak still had many important things to do.

Dragon Bamboo, Fire Bamboo, Dan Bamboo, and Torreya need to go to Chiwu Mountain. Next year, they will enter Dragon Bamboo Continent with Rat King and the others to quickly excavate and transport the remains of the Divine Seed discovered in Daqing Mountain.

The journey was long and there were certain dangers. Banbu was not at ease with them, so he had to personally lead the team to send them over.

Going to Chiwu Mountain also had a purpose, which was to share the good news of finding a complete relic with Chiwu Mountain, and by the way, ask for a large batch of metal to make a complete set of large and small wheeled vehicles. Part of it was left on the trestle, and the other part was dragged along the Phantom Mist to send to the Northern Wilderness base.

The relics of Daqing Mountain were buried under the sand dunes. The shallow ones were fine, but the deep ones were buried under a hundred meters, and excavation was a big problem.

Rat King took Jin Bamboo to be responsible for digging.

White Bamboo took Little White Bamboo, using wheeled vehicles to bag and transport the excess sand that was dug out.

Big Bear and Oil Tea were still responsible for collecting and transporting food.

Dragon Bamboo and the four of them carried the excavated relics back to the mountain base, and temporarily stored them there.

After arranging everything properly, Banbu hurried back to Li Bamboo Peak.

Li Bamboo Peak currently had two extremely important major events:

At the end of last winter, Belly Bamboo fell asleep on time and began to be promoted to County Lord, waking up in February. Sacred Bamboo then broke through, the original bamboo pole withered and died, and new bamboo shoots emerged during the warm spring season. At this time, it was consuming a lot of raw stones and nutrients, working hard to grow.

In April, entering summer, at the bottom of the lake, flower buds sprouted at some of the lotus root nodules of the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus. At this stage, it began to demand a large amount of Origin Power and nutrients. Mazhu took 3 other small bamboo rat warriors, carrying boat after boat of Origin Stones, crushing and throwing them into the lake to replenish its Origin Power. Cattail directed the bee colony to pour barrels of swamp residue into the lake.

This was the first time that the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus had bloomed and borne fruit since settling in Li Bamboo Peak. Banbu hurried back mainly to keep an eye on it, worried about any accidents that other members of the mountain could not solve.

In mid-April, the lotus bud emerged from the water.

In early May, the lotus bloomed, bright red and stunning. The flower had 3 layers, the bottom layer had 9 petals, the middle layer had 6 petals, and the top layer had 3 petals, surrounding a lotus seedpod.

Looking a little abnormal, compared to the huge lotus leaves, the lotus flower appeared too delicate and small, similar to normal lotus flowers, concentrated in one area, hidden under the lotus leaves, looking very uncoordinated. If it weren't for the Origin Power veins of the petals frantically absorbing natural Origin Power and pouring it into the lotus seedpod, Banbu would definitely have mistakenly thought that something was wrong.

In June, after the dry season, the petals withered.

Banbu asked Baba to check, and also asked the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus, and they were both very sure that there was no problem. Next, the lotus seedpod had a 4-month growth period, during which only a small amount of Origin Stones was needed to supplement the natural Origin Power. At the end of September, it entered the maturity period, lasting for 10 days, requiring a large amount of Origin Stones to supplement Origin Power, and then the lotus seedpod withered along with the lotus leaves. At that time, 11 lotus seeds would have grown.

Ordinary-sized lotus flowers, ordinary-sized lotus seedpods, hidden under the huge lotus leaves, if you don't look carefully, it's even difficult to find their existence.

No matter how Banbu looked at it, he felt that something was wrong.

Whether it was beast or insect warriors, they supplied Divine Seeds to help them grow and survive better, and the Divine Seeds condensed Origin Power food, which was considered a reward. This was a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

The Nine-Leaf Red Lotus had the ability to self-adjust genes.

Banbu always had a bad feeling: this thing was blooming and bearing fruit, it seemed like it was cutting corners and perfunctorily doing things. Baba had a good relationship with the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus, and was likely an accomplice.

Riding a small boat, wandering around the lake, using mental power to scan and check the lotus roots in the mud, one could roughly judge that the Nine-Leaf Red Lotus only used less than 10% of its reserve nutrients to bloom and bear fruit.

6561 branches, divided into 9 groups, taking turns blooming and bearing fruit, it sounded like there was output every year, but in reality, its nutrient reserves would never be lower than 90%, always keeping itself in a state close to full bloom to cope with irresistible sudden disasters.

A life-loving and death-fearing Nine-Leaf Red Lotus tree spirit.

The name Nine-Leaf Red Lotus was not appropriate, Banbu really wanted to rename it, to Nine-Life Red Lotus.

… …

Successfully passing through the dry season in the hot summer of June, Li Bamboo Peak was not particularly busy.

Banbu rested peacefully by the lake, guarding the soon-to-be-ripe Nine-Leaf Red Lotus. This year, Bi Peach Peak gave birth to a small warrior who liked bamboo, named "Green Bamboo", and by the way, brought this small family over to personally teach them, and next year they could be arranged to settle in Holy Sound Mountain.

Baba followed by the side, collecting data regularly every day.

Cattail was also there, directing a hundred thousand bee colony, strictly defending, intercepting birds that tried to approach the lake in the air.

Red Rice flew over and landed on the lake bank.

"Banbu, I suddenly felt just now that the Blood Thorn Divine Seed seems to be a little wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"That particularly long branch of it has grown a lot again without realizing it. It probably started growing slowly from April this year, and in less than two and a half months, I just measured it, and it's about 2 meters long. At this rate, in a few years, it will really…"

"Hiss…" Banbu's teeth ached, and he asked Baba: "Baba, why is the Blood Thorn suddenly growing so fast? Is this growth temporary? Or will it continue?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"This is its special ability, controlled by the soul's will, not within my calculation range." Baba said gloatingly: "Isn't it good that your nest will be covered with Blood Thorns in the future?"

Banbu waved his antennae and said, "Green Bamboo, you follow Red Rice, don't run around."

"Red Rice, you stay here and take care of Green Bamboo."

After speaking, without saying anything, he picked up Baba and flew towards Li Bamboo Peak.

The little warrior Green Bamboo looked at Banbu disappearing, looked at Red Rice, and looked at the distant Cattail, tilted his head and thought for a while, spread his wing membranes, rose into the air, and landed on a lotus leaf.

… …

"Baba, scan and check it."

Baba paused for two seconds and said briefly: "Everything is normal."

"Normal? It's obviously abnormal, okay!"

Banbu realized that since building the second hydroelectric power station, and not being particularly short of electricity, Baba had started not working seriously, neglecting her duties in various ways.

Baba said: "It's nothing, the Blood Thorn tree spirit's will can control the telomere genes to a certain extent, which is to control the division of cells. The direct manifestation is to control the growth of the plant with its own will. It has absorbed nutrients mainly made from 'divine' relics, breaking the genetic restrictions to a certain extent, so it has started to grow."

Baba couldn't help but gloat again, saying: "The solution is simple, just don't give it any relics."

Banbu said: "Give me a practical solution."

Baba said: "The Blood Thorn is strange, there's no other way."

"Forget it, I knew I couldn't count on you." Banbu turned to greet the Blood Thorn tree spirit and asked, "Blood Thorn, what is this branch doing?"

The Blood Thorn tree spirit said: "Going up the mountain to find you."

Banbu said: "But I'm not on the mountain."

The Blood Thorn tree spirit asked: "Don't you live on the mountain?"

"That was before, now, I've moved." Banbu waved his antennae, pointing in the direction of the lake, and said, "I've moved to live by the lake over there."

"Over there? The lake?" The Blood Thorn tree spirit was a little dazed. With the soul connection between the two, it could sense the other's existence within a certain distance. In recent months, it did feel that Banbu had been staying in that direction.

The Blood Thorn tree spirit asked: "Banbu, why did you move over there?"

"There are mountains and water over there, the scenery is good!" Banbu enthusiastically suggested, "Blood Thorn, why don't you come over too? I'll take you to see the scenery together."

"Mountains and water… Don't I live on the mountain?" The Blood Thorn tree spirit thought for a while and said, "Okay! Is it far?"

Banbu said: "It's not very far, I'll pull a steel wire to guide you, your branch will climb along the direction of the steel wire, so you don't get lost, okay?"

The Blood Thorn tree spirit said happily: "Okay!"

Banbu used his metal ability to directly transform the soil and rocks into metal, condensing steel wire, and laying it temporarily along the foot of the north side of Li Bamboo Peak for 1 kilometer. Climb slowly. After climbing this 1 kilometer, there are still more than ten kilometers behind.
