Astral Cockroach

Banbu traveled through the night, arriving close to dawn.

Just as he approached Iron Saber Peak, Hei Sang came to greet him, exclaiming with delight, "Banbu, what brings you here? I'm about to become a Rank 2 Intermediate Warrior, what about you?"

The implication of showing off was unmistakable.

Banbu was very disdainful.

This guy really has no shame, still hanging around Iron Saber Mountain Lord's territory. He can eat as many Origin Power fruits as he wants, so it would be strange if his growth and evolution were slow.

"Hei Sang, where is Iron Saber Mountain Lord? Quickly take me to see it, something major has happened!"

Banbu pretended to be alarmed.

Upon hearing this, Hei Sang asked worriedly, "Banbu, what happened? Could it be that your territory was…"

"Running over in the middle of the night, I knew something was up," Iron Saber Mountain Lord's telepathic voice transmitted from afar.

Cliff Cypress and the other 4 Advanced Warriors residing at Iron Saber Peak also gradually arrived from various directions.

Iron Saber Mountain Lord landed and immediately asked, "Banbu, what happened? Was your territory attacked?"

Banbu replied, "It's not my territory, it's across the Jin River, the Cliff Cypress Mountains, 5 Cloud Leopard Warriors, they attacked the territory of an Advanced Warrior…"

Banbu spoke rapidly, narrating the attack incident in detail.

Iron Saber Mountain Lord breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it was the Cliff Cypress Mountains that had been attacked.

The other four warriors of Iron Saber Peak had similar attitudes, minding their own business.

After Banbu finished speaking, Iron Saber Mountain Lord casually asked, "Banbu, are you sure that those 5 Cloud Leopards are hiding within the jurisdiction of the Jin Ping Mountains?"

Banbu said, "Probably, these beasts are very cunning, they used the flowing river water to cover their scent when they fled, causing Flower Cypress Mountain Lord and the others to lose their trail."

Iron Saber Mountain Lord asked, "Then have they locked down a general direction?"

Banbu shook his antennae and said, "I'm not sure, probably not."

Iron Saber Mountain Lord said, "The Jin Ping Mountains are so big, they definitely won't be found. It would be a waste of effort and time for us to go. Banbu, you don't need to be afraid, those beasts attack territories mainly to plunder mature Origin Power food. Your Li Bamboo Peak… has nothing to plunder."

"Cliff Cypress, Li Bamboo, you two escort Banbu back and carefully search around Li Bamboo Peak."

"Yes."

"Understood."

Cliff Cypress and Li Bamboo responded, leading Banbu back to Li Bamboo Peak.

Iron Saber Mountain Lord was unwilling to mobilize a large force, but he still sent two Advanced Warriors to search. It could be seen that its attitude towards Banbu wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either, at least it wasn't a complete abandonment.

The territory governed by the Jin Ping Mountains was too large, and the terrain was complex. Just the area near Li Bamboo Peak would require all the Advanced Warriors of the Iron Saber Mountains to be dispatched. If a thorough investigation and extermination were to be conducted throughout the territory governed by the Jin Ping Mountains, even a thousand Advanced Warriors might not be enough; Scarlet Firmament County Lord would have to mobilize all the Scarlet Ant Tribe warriors to make it possible.

From Iron Saber Mountain Lord's attitude, it could basically be determined that Scarlet Firmament County Lord would not take it seriously, at most it would just be a show of force due to pressure from the Black and White Flower Ant Tribe.

Cliff Cypress and Li Bamboo were quite nice to Banbu, they were worried about Banbu's safety and seriously patrolled for a day.

In the evening, Li Bamboo dragged the corpse of a Hooked Pattern Mountain Python and landed on the peak.

Cliff Cypress followed, and said with a teasing tone, "Banbu, you don't have to go hunting tonight, look, this big guy is enough for you to eat for several days, right?"

Banbu said worriedly, "The Hooked Pattern Mountain Pythons in the Jin Ping Mountains are simply rampant, you can't kill them all no matter how much you kill."

Li Bamboo comforted, "Banbu, you don't need to worry, we will come over every day in the future and spend more time patrolling."

Cliff Cypress said, "Banbu, you also have to work hard and grow up as soon as possible, so that you have the power to protect yourself in case of danger."

Li Bamboo changed the subject, saying, "Banbu, your God-given Seed is growing really well, it has reached a considerable size in just one year. I really envy you, you will be able to harvest a batch of grass seeds this year."

Banbu became even more worried and said, "Li Bamboo, what if the beasts nearby are attracted when the grass seeds mature? Especially those 5 Cloud Leopard Warriors, they are too terrifying."

Without a doubt, the grass seeds of the God-given Seed would definitely be more tempting than ordinary Fate Seed fruits.

Li Bamboo and Cliff Cypress exchanged glances.

Banbu continued, "According to my observation, the grass seeds will probably mature in 20 days. What do you think, would it be safer if I asked Iron Saber Mountain Lord to come and help guard it for a few days when the grass seeds mature?"

Li Bamboo and Cliff Cypress exchanged glances again.

Li Bamboo said, "Cliff Cypress, we should go back. Banbu, your worries are right, and your idea is very good. We will go back and ask Iron Saber Mountain Lord, I think it will agree. Anyway, it's autumn, everyone is relatively idle."

…

Autumn is very idle. The plants have passed their peak growing season and don't need much fertilizing or weeding, and there are no extreme weather phenomena like droughts or rainstorms to deal with.

As for the Fate Seed fruits maturing, there is no need to pick them. Wait for them to ripen and fall off by themselves, and then go to the tree every day at a set time to pick them up.

Including Iron Saber Mountain Lord, the warriors of Iron Saber Peak spend most of their time wandering in the jungle every day, looking for God-given Seeds.

Banbu was also very idle. After eating and drinking his fill, he lay in front of the cave, concentrating and calming his mind, digesting the mental power he had just absorbed last night, and feeling the changes in his soul.

At dusk, a black and white phantom sped from afar and landed in front of Banbu.

It was Flower Cypress Mountain Lord.

Patches of white patterns were scattered on its black carapace, making it particularly eye-catching when flying.

"Were you waiting for me?"

"I enjoy the sunset glow here every evening."

Flower Cypress Mountain Lord did not continue to dwell on this question, and turned its attention to the God-given Seed, saying, "I can't tell what kind of grass seed it is?"

Banbu said, "Xun grass, the change is quite big, it's easy to mistake it for an orchid."

"Xun grass?!" Flower Cypress Mountain Lord stepped forward, gently touched a tiller with its antennae, and after carefully sensing it, said regretfully, "It seems to be a metal talent, which is not compatible with the talent abilities of your Scarlet Ant Tribe."

The God-given Seed randomly gives birth to a special ability, which is called "talent" on this planet.

The Scarlet Ant Tribe is a branch of the Flying Fire Ant Tribe, and will awaken the fire talent ability after being promoted to Mountain Lord.

Banbu was born in the Scarlet Ant Tribe, but was affected by metal core radiation, and has undergone obvious genetic mutations. In the future, it should awaken the metal ability, which is a good match with the talent of the God-given Seed, so there is no need to worry about it.

Flower Cypress Mountain Lord continued, "There are no races around the Fire Ant Kingdom that have awakened metal abilities. Your God-given Seed is not easy to sell, you can only trade with traveling merchants."

Banbu said, "The traveling merchants of the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe are still fair."

"Fair? Perhaps." Flower Cypress Mountain Lord said, "Their tribe makes a living from this, and their fairness is based on the foundation of being able to support themselves."

A society that relies on agriculture as its main body cannot accept merchants earning profits. This is a common way of thinking. The emphasis on agriculture and the neglect of commerce leads to commercial backwardness. At its root, it is still caused by poverty. If you are poor and don't have wealth, then there is no need to sell or buy, and if there is no need, there is no need for commerce.

Banbu was not repulsed by traveling merchants, and still had a good impression of Chonglou's caravan. He didn't want to dwell on this question and asked, "Flower Cypress Mountain Lord, did you come here just to admire my God-given Seed?"

"Of course not, although I don't have a God-given Seed, I have seen quite a few." Flower Cypress Mountain Lord said, "Iron Saber Mountain Lord's attitude is very clear. Little guy, what are your plans?"

Banbu said, "I don't have any plans."

Flower Cypress Mountain Lord said, "It is obvious that Iron Saber Mountain Lord does not value you at all. Scarlet Firmament County Lord has almost given up ruling the Jin Ping Mountains. Your situation is very bad, do you know that?"

Banbu said, "It has always been bad, it's good to get used to it."

Flower Cypress Mountain Lord said, "I have a very good idea, would you like to hear it?"
