Astral Cockroach

Banbu returned to Lizhu Peak with Baba.

Baizhu, the Rat King, Huitao, and Dongzhu were all left behind.

Their next task was to dig out all the root remnants left by the Iron Gall Kuri underground, bag them, and transport them to the canyon for storage.

All the Origin Power food found in the supermarket was left behind as rations for the four of them to grow.

It was agreed that after 5 years, Banbu would build a large ship to transport the remnants back to Longzhu Continent, and finally use a motor vehicle to transport them to Chiwu Mountain in one trip.

After all, Iron Gall Kuri was a divine item, strengthening the ability of metal elements, which was of great use to the ghost mantis tribe warriors who awakened metal abilities. Cooperation between the two parties would inevitably limit the fruit production for trade with Chiwu Mountain. Therefore, the Chiwu Ghost King and Leizhu Ghost King had been urging this matter.

Banbu also hoped that the Iron Gall Kuri's divinely bestowed seed could recover to its peak state as soon as possible, which would increase a large income for Lizhu County, and its fruit would be beneficial to the growth of Banbu, Datou, Daxiong, and the eight bamboo rat warriors.

… …

The time was already Banbu's 102nd year, and a new batch of Giant Dragon Bamboo fruit matured.

The Explosive Ant King, Xiejing, consumed one and fell into a slumber to advance to Mountain Master, which was a very significant breakthrough. Next, the scale of the ant colony it controlled would continue to skyrocket until it exceeded ten million in number. Among them, the number of specialized combat soldier ants, soldier ants, explosive soldier ants, flying soldier ants, flying explosive ants, reconnaissance soldier ants, and other combat ant species would exceed 200,000.

Constant splitting of nests would form a defense line that would block the north and south, making it impossible for the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan to sneak into the vicinity of Lizhu Peak from the Jinping or Da'an Mountain Range in the east.

In the north, the development of Hongju and Tiedao Mountain Range was also in full swing, with the number of warriors exceeding 300 in each, and still continuing to grow. It would also be difficult for the Northern Wilderness Beast Clan to approach Lizhu Peak silently from the north.

In the west was Chuirong County, whose number of warriors was breaking through 1,000, and its territorial control was no less than that of Chijian County.

Not to say that it was impregnable and flawless, but at least, without familiarity with the terrain and understanding of the distribution of warriors, it would be difficult for beast warriors to approach Lizhu Peak.

With the security issue resolved, Lotus Mist Ghost King and Hibiscus Butterfly King bid farewell and left.

Banbu would stay at Lizhu Peak to concentrate on advancing to Roach King.

… …

The number of stars in the night sky always remained above one hundred, the most prosperous and flourishing period.

In the past, every spring, the birth of a small warrior in the mountain range was a joyous event, and they would run to inform Banbu as soon as possible.

Now, every spring, there were bound to be 3 to 5 small warriors born, year after year, and gradually, everyone became accustomed to it and it was not so rare anymore.

Hongdao would count the number of small warriors born each year and report a total number to Banbu at the end of spring. In midsummer, when the newborn small warriors advanced to L4 elementary warriors and chose their favorite plant species, Hongdao would focus on reporting if there were small warriors who liked bamboo, and everyone would be happy for a while.

Undeniably, among all kinds of plants, Banbu still preferred bamboo. To this day, it was still unclear whether he, like the other warriors on this planet, had chosen a favorite plant.

The bamboo sea was constantly expanding.

Following the three peaks of Fire Bamboo, Sacred Sound, and Sword Bamboo, the fourth peak was chosen on the southwest side of Lizhu Peak, about 24 kilometers away, located on a mountain in the mountain range.

The first small warrior to settle on the peak was named "Yun Bamboo", and the peak was also named "Yun Bamboo Peak", which was medium in size and could accommodate 8 warriors. Currently, there were 4, and the other 3 were named Huang Bamboo, Red Edge, and Drought Bamboo, respectively.

With more small warriors who liked bamboo, more things could be done.

Lizhu Peak and Fire Bamboo Mountain focused on cultivating Giant Dragon Bamboo and related bamboo species.

Sacred Sound Mountain and Sword Bamboo Mountain focused on cultivating Sacred Bamboo and related bamboo species.

Yun Bamboo Peak would pick up the cultivation of the three aberrant species of Golden Thread Bamboo, Colorful Bitter Bamboo, and Ghost Thread Bamboo, as well as the corresponding bamboo species. The seed trade, which had been suspended for several decades, could be picked up again, which was a good source of income.

These new generation of small warriors were brought up by Qingzhu, taught by Guanli, taught by Duzhu, taught by Longzhu, and taught by Hongdao, and even Hongmi taught them, but they all had the meaning of being idle and doing things on a whim, and they didn't look qualified no matter how you looked at them.

Banbu felt that it would be better for him to teach them himself.

… …

Jiangqingshan, the cultivation of Butter Grape was being carried out under the guidance of Baba.

Milk Grapes were cross-pollinated with Crystal Grapes.

Baba was not only responsible for guiding the cultivation, but also needed to scan and test the genes of each seed during the grape harvest season, which could only roughly screen it once, limiting the workload. The screened seeds were not necessarily qualified, and large-scale cultivation was needed to further screen from the second generation seeds.

Cultivating Butter Grapes was a complicated process and the workload was huge.

Every spring and summer, a batch of warriors needed to be organized from other mountain peaks to go and help.

… …

During the annual dry season, Banbu personally led 50 warriors to work busily in the Jiangqingshan vineyard, picking and irrigating.

Hongdao rushed over.

"Banbu!"

From afar, Hongdao shouted excitedly, rushing over and landing in front of Banbu, then lowering her divine sense and saying, "Banbu, good news, aberrant species!"

"Aberrant species? Which mountain peak?"

"Yun Bamboo Peak."

"They've only started a few years? So fast!"

"They didn't cultivate it."

Hongdao said, "Wasn't there a patch of glutinous bamboo forest that aged and naturally flowered and seeded the year before last?"

"Glutinous bamboo aberrant species?"

"Yes."

"Not bad, Lizhu County's luck has been really good in recent years."

Banbu sighed repeatedly.

Ordinary bamboo has a long lifespan and only flowers and seeds once in its life. The year before last, a patch of glutinous bamboo forest flowered, and it happened to coincide with the opening up of the bamboo sea at Yun Bamboo Peak, so the produced seeds were simply screened and sent over.

Since glutinous bamboo was neither rare nor precious, a place was chosen and it was sown very casually.

This was an unintentional act that yielded unexpected results.

"Hongdao, you stay in Jiangqingshan to help for a few days, I'll go to Yun Bamboo Peak to take a look."

The latest and most complete novels are available at Liu 9 Shu Ba first!

… …

The four small warriors of Yun Bamboo Peak were all guarding the bamboo forest.

Datou had received the news and had already brought a swarm of ants and a swarm of bees to help.

The Rat King and Baizhu were not there, and Mazhu was becoming more and more active, and ran over to join in the fun because he was bored.

The glutinous bamboo aberrant species was still a single seedling, and had only grown into two crooked and thin bamboo poles.

The bee swarm was carefully pollinating the bamboo flowers.

"Banbu!"

"Banbu, you're here!"

They greeted each other upon meeting.

Yun Bamboo said excitedly, "Banbu, look, Hongdao and Datou have both confirmed that this is a glutinous bamboo aberrant species."

"Yes, it's an aberrant species, no mistake."

The members of Lizhu Peak had at least a hundred years of experience in planting bamboo, so they were very familiar with it.

Mazhu suggested, "Banbu, look, these four little guys have no planting experience, let me teach them."

Yun Bamboo was older, but only an L3 advanced warrior.

The two little guys, Huang Bamboo and Red Edge, had just reached L1 advanced warrior.

Drought Bamboo was an L7 intermediate warrior, still a little pudding.

They did lack practical experience.

A glutinous bamboo aberrant species was perfect for practice, and they could start from scratch and teach them the whole set of breeding knowledge.

"Mazhu, go to Sword Bamboo Peak and notify Sword Bamboo and Green Bamboo to come over. By the way, go back to Lizhu Peak and call Kongzhu and Qingzhu over. I'll teach them myself."

… …

What Banbu wanted to teach was, first of all, how to select bamboo species that were similar to glutinous bamboo by comparing the bamboo poles, bamboo sheaths, and underground stems from the various bamboo species.

Only bamboo species with similar morphological characteristics could be successfully hybridized.

Initially, five bamboo species were locked in: Kongzhu, Rectangular Leaf Kongzhu, Golden Leaf Kongzhu, Green Stone Bamboo, and Yellow Pattern Bamboo.

The bamboo sheaths of the five locked bamboo species were dug and collected in the autumn of that year, moved to the mountain, and prepared to induce flowering in the coming year using the dry season.

At that time, the pollen of the glutinous bamboo aberrant species would be used to pollinate them one by one for testing, and finally it could be determined which bamboo species could be hybridized with glutinous bamboo.

There was also how to cultivate reversion species; how to experimentally test the needs of each bamboo species for external conditions such as soil, light, and water; the selection of seeds obtained from aberrant species, reversion species, and hybrids… The most critical thing was how to cultivate the best species, trigger the divine gift of the stars, and obtain the divinely bestowed seed.

If there was Baba, Baba could be allowed to directly scan and test the genes, screen at the gene level, and directly lock the target in a very small range, thereby reducing the workload.

This time, Banbu did not intend to use Baba's technological capabilities, but rather natural breeding.

There were many kinds of work, so he called Sword Bamboo, Green Bamboo, Kongzhu, and Qingzhu over.

They would learn knowledge and help with work at the same time.

Digging the Star Passage Dojo, Banbu faintly felt that his time on this planet was not long, and Baba might also leave with him. Banbu hoped that the warriors of Lizhu County would have the ability to be self-reliant after leaving him and Baba.

All the farming knowledge, whether critical or not, was taught to Iron Gall Kuri and Nine Leaf Red Lotus, and they were asked to help record it, lest the inheritance be cut off one day.
