Astral Cockroach

The God-given seed that the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine was gestating in its life sac was not yet complete, and suddenly there was another one.

This was not normal!

Red Rice had mentioned to Banbu more than once that the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine were both lazybones, typical "second-generation insects" who couldn't even manage their own territory well, and all they looked forward to all year round was subsidies from Li Bamboo Peak. The last time they gave birth to a God-given seed, they only regarded it as an accident and didn't arouse the slightest enthusiasm. In the past two years, they had only opened up two plots of land with a side length of 300 meters, and they completely neglected management on weekdays.

Fortunately, the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine was a plant with strong survival ability. Once sown and survived the weakest seedling stage, no native plant could suppress them. Even without management, they still grew vigorously and thrived.

"Banbu!"

"Banbu!"

The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine stood guard beside a dense cluster of vines, greeting Banbu and Princess Youli upon their arrival. They didn't really recognize Princess Youli.

Originally, it was a tallow tree, but it was mercilessly stripped of its bark, and the tree died. Then, the Tortoise Shell Vine, which had been sown, took the opportunity to climb. The vines climbed upwards, absorbing more sunlight, allowing them to grow better.

At the top of the vine, a pinkish-white flower emitted faint Origin Power fluctuations.

"Oh, so it's this thing. Banbu, I remember the last time I came, you planted two in front of your cave, and then you dug them up?"

"Yes." Banbu scanned the ground beneath with his mental power. The hemispherical tuber was about 0.4 meters in diameter.

Tortoise Shell Vines were divided into two types, large and small. The one that continuously gave birth to God-given seeds was the one with the particularly large tuber, which was simply named "Large Tortoise Shell Vine". Perhaps due to environmental reasons, the Tortoise Shell Vines sown in this plot of land grew exceptionally well.

Banbu began to check the soil quality again, while introducing: "This is Princess Youli of Youli County."

"Greetings, Princess Youli!" The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine immediately greeted her.

Princess Youli praised: "You two are clever little fellows, really amazing. I heard that this is the second God-given seed you've cultivated."

The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine were somewhat self-aware and remained silent.

"These are two lazy fellows. The older one is called Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine, my direct junior. Big Head raised him, and he was very diligent when he was young. The younger one is called Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine, born on the nearby Brown Chestnut Peak. Brown Chestnut was born in Firethorn's territory, and the laziness was passed down all the way from Firethorn."

"..." With clear bloodlines and logical reasoning, Princess Youli was speechless and instead asked, "Banbu, I don't have this kind of vine plant in my inherited memories."

Banbu said: "It was brought back from another continent and named Tortoise Shell Vine."

Princess Youli said: "The tuber is very beautiful, a very interesting plant."

"Yes, very interesting." While chatting, Banbu carefully checked the soil quality. It was the most common sandy loam near the mountain area, and he didn't find anything special.

Then, he began to carefully sense the Origin Power aura emitted by the pinkish-white flower. With more experience, he could easily distinguish that it should be a very common fire element ability.

The previous one, which the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine was currently gestating, was an earth and stone element ability.

Elemental enhancements were not very valuable.

Vine plants had limited development potential.

Banbu gently swayed his antennae, symbolically admonishing: "You two be more careful and guard it well."

The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine, as a direct junior, had no awe of Banbu. He casually waved his antennae and said: "With me here, it's very stable, Banbu, don't worry."

The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine suddenly remembered something, and his antennae twitched. He asked: "Banbu, I asked Garland Chrysanthemum to notify you? Where is that insect?"

Banbu said: "Li Bamboo Peak is repairing roads, and there aren't enough warriors. I asked him to stay and help."

"Oh." The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine responded and instructed: "Give him more high-quality Origin Power food."

The Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine said dejectedly: "Banbu, I just advanced to a rank five advanced warrior last winter. I won't be able to advance within two or three years, I'm afraid I'll miss this God-given seed."

The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine said: "Garland Chrysanthemum has been stuck at rank eight advanced warrior for five years, it's just right for him."

They had already decided on the ownership of the God-given seed in front of them.

Banbu didn't say much, nodded his antennae, and said: "Then I'll have Garland Chrysanthemum come back later to rest well and prepare to molt and evolve once this winter or next spring."

After speaking, he greeted Princess Youli and strolled through the Tortoise Shell Peak's vine garden to inspect it.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the situation was even worse than what Red Rice had said.

All the gardens were completely unmanaged, with no signs of fertilization or soil loosening, and even weeds were growing in abundance.

Checking uphill, the situation was even worse.

Tortoise Shell Peak was very far from Li Bamboo Peak, and Banbu usually didn't have time to manage it. The three fellows living on the mountain were living a carefree life. The bamboo groves that were supposed to be planted were sparse and half-dead, completely neglected. On the other hand, a large Garland Chrysanthemum grassland was managed quite well, lush and dense. It was only early summer, and the Garland Chrysanthemum seedlings were almost a meter tall. It should have been managed privately by the young warrior Garland Chrysanthemum.

Checking the biogas digester on the mountain, the biogas digesters of the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine were filled with natural rainwater, and even moss had grown at the wellhead. It was estimated that they hadn't been touched for many years. The territory's Life Seed plants also hadn't been loosened or fertilized, and even weeds hadn't been removed in time.

Garland Chrysanthemum's territory was slightly better, with loosened soil and fertilization, and the biogas digester was also in use, but the work was done very casually, or rather, not carefully enough.

However, there were a lot of small cockroaches in their territory. It could be imagined that the three fellows usually entered the jungle to hunt and feed the small cockroaches for fun when they were idle and bored.

"Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine was very diligent when he was young!" Banbu lamented.

This kind of decadent and desolate phenomenon had been seen in Iron Saber Mountain Range when he was young. Back then, Flame Cluster Bristlegrass and Wind Chime's territories were like this. This was a manifestation of a state of mind of not having hope for the future, muddling along, and taking things as they come.

Banbu managed Li Bamboo Peak, and every task was done carefully, meticulously, and striving for perfection, presenting a completely different spirit and a thriving scene. Moreover, the Chinese Pistache, Crown Pear, Green Peach, Brown Chestnut, Fire Bamboo, Sacred Sound, Sword Bamboo, and even Camellia, which were separated from Li Bamboo Peak, all adhered to the spirit of diligence and hard work, and their territory development was booming.

Banbu felt uncomfortable and reflected carefully, realizing that the problem was with himself and Red Rice. Back then, when Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine was born, Red Rice suggested that all the Tortoise Shell Vines outside Tortoise Shell Peak be dug up. Banbu also didn't think much of this plant and was worried that more warriors who liked this kind of plant would be born, so he agreed.

This decision was a denial of the Tortoise Shell Vine, which was more hurtful to the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine than denying him himself.

"Princess Youli, please go back to Li Bamboo Peak to rest first. I'll stay and go back in a few days."

Princess Youli had been following along and didn't think there was anything wrong with this phenomenon, and she had seen it a lot. Due to their love of planting, most of the warriors who left the core tree sea to survive were disheartened, silently managing their territories casually, and then silently passing away. Only a few warriors would still maintain a sunny attitude, tirelessly cultivating, and looking forward to achieving something one day.

"Banbu, you have to get used to it. After all, there are more young warriors, and not everyone can be taken care of." Princess Youli said simply and flapped her wings to leave.

Banbu stayed on the mountain, using his metal ability to make a small shovel and hoe, controlling them to remove the weeds in the territories of the Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine, turning over the soil and loosening it, renovating the biogas digester, and harvesting weeds to put into the digester.

The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine noticed and came forward to help silently, and together they cleaned up the garden where the Large Tortoise Shell Vines were planted at the foot of the mountain.

Finally, Banbu used his metal ability to directly transform the soil and rocks into metal, condensing metal supports for the vines to climb and grow.

He was busy for nearly a month before finishing everything.

Banbu instructed: "I remember that in the Eastern Region of the Dragon Bamboo Continent, there are several varieties of Tortoise Shell Vine. Next time the Giant Dragon Bamboo Fruit matures, Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine, you take a share and go find it yourself."

"Facts have proven that the Tortoise Shell Vine is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine, you take Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine and Garland Chrysanthemum to open up some open space and sow a batch of Large Tortoise Shell Vine seeds."

"In a few years, Ramie Bamboo and the others should return to Li Bamboo Peak to advance to county lords. At that time, I will arrange for them to mine iron ore and smelt steel to mass-produce metal supports to help you open up a small Tortoise Shell Vine tree sea."

"There is also the issue of seed selection. In the future, when Wedge Thorn advances to mountain lord, I will arrange for him to set up a branch nest in the Tortoise Shell Vine tree sea. Use royal jelly and Rain Bamboo Rice to cultivate more intelligent worker ants to help you select seeds."

"Tree sea!"

"Really? Banbu!"

Banbu had been busy for nearly a month and hadn't said anything. The Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine and the Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine, who were originally a little uneasy, were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine, I am very disappointed in you." Banbu said: "I was born in Iron Saber Mountain Range and sent to Li Bamboo Peak to survive alone. I had nothing. When I was young, I had to face the threat of ferocious beasts, and when I grew up, I had to face the threat of beast warriors. I never gave up. I developed Li Bamboo Peak into what it is today through my own efforts bit by bit."

Paying attention to the emotional fluctuations of the two fellows, inspirational chicken soup seemed ineffective.

Banbu changed his thinking and said: "I discovered the extraordinary nature of bamboo, which led to my later achievements. The Tortoise Shell Vine must have its extraordinary nature. Tortoise Shell Tendon Vine, Tortoise Shell Dragon Vine, you two must be more attentive, and you will definitely have extraordinary achievements, understand?"

"Understood."

"Understood."

This time, the two fellows answered very actively.
