Astral Cockroach

Big Head is currently only a Level 8 Beginner Warrior, with a body length of only about 30.

Banbu had it lie on its carapace, flying at low altitude, carrying it up the mountain, and landing in front of the cave on the south side of the mountain.

Looking at the large patch of God-given Xun grass seeds, Big Head's worried emotions were slightly relieved. It curiously looked around, exclaiming: "Banbu, it's all the aura of God-given seeds, so many God-given seeds, you're amazing!"

Big Head mistook the ramets for individual plants. Getting closer, it quickly realized and asked: "Banbu, why do they all have the same aura?"

"Because it was originally a single God-given seed. The one in the middle is the mother plant, and the others are ramets," Banbu patiently explained: "Survival competition in the plant world is more intense. Many herbaceous plants use this method of ramets to enhance their competitive ability."

Big Head listened, seemingly understanding.

"Big Head, come to the cave," Banbu reminded.

Big Head followed into the cave.

Banbu went into the secret room, took out some Chinese arborvitae seeds and handed them to Big Head, asking: "Are you hungry?"

Big Head shook its antennae and said: "Big Bear and I ate before we came."

Banbu said: "Then you eat some Origin Force food."

"Banbu, you're so kind."

Big Head was delighted. It struggled to open the Chinese arborvitae seeds with its mandibles, took out the kernels inside. Even digesting one kernel's Origin Force seemed strenuous. It lay on the ground, drooping its antennae, silently absorbing.

The Harvest Ant race was just too weak, far inferior to the Red Cockroach tribe.

Banbu remembered that when it was a Level 8 Beginner Warrior, it could eat 5 comparable Chinese arborvitae seeds in one go, without pausing for breath.

Other Beginner Warriors of the Red Cockroach tribe might be a little weaker than Banbu, but eating two or three such cypress seeds was still no problem.

Innate weakness meant constant weakness at the same level in the Origin Force creature stage, unless it advanced to a cosmic life form, only then could it slowly break the shackles of racial genes.

"Big Head, when the Red Cockroach tribe warriors arrive later, they will definitely have questions to ask. You must answer according to what I taught you, understand?"

Big Head asked: "Banbu, did Big Bear and I cause you trouble?"

Banbu said: "If you answer according to what I taught you, there won't be any trouble."

"I understand," Big Head nodded its antennae in agreement.

...

As Banbu had guessed, at dawn, Iron Saber Mountain Master gathered all the warriors of the Iron Saber Mountain Range, including Black Mulberry, who had just been promoted to Level 3 Intermediate Warrior, and rushed to Li Bamboo Peak with great momentum.

Li Bamboo's relationship with Banbu was the closest, so it landed first, shouting from afar: "Banbu, are you alright?"

Banbu poked its head out of the cave and replied: "I'm fine."

Iron Saber Mountain Master landed, somewhat dissatisfied, pushed Li Bamboo aside, and asked: "That Black Bear Warrior didn't attack your territory?"

Banbu said suspiciously: "After Wind Chime left, I mustered my courage and searched down the mountain, but didn't find any trace of the Black Bear..."

Iron Saber Mountain Master's mental power was strong, and it discovered Big Head, who was trembling in the cave. Its antennae waved, its pulse wings vibrated, tense and alert, and it shouted: "Ant!"

Big Head, who had originally wanted to crawl out of the cave to check the situation, was even more不堪. Its six legs weakened, and it collapsed to the ground.

This shout startled all the warriors of the Iron Saber Mountain who had just landed, causing them to flap their wings and ascend into the sky, fully alert.

Then, everyone saw clearly that the one lying at the entrance of the cave was just a small ant with a body length of about 30.

Iron Saber Mountain Master's body length was as much as about 1500, and the other high-level warriors were all between 400 and 800.

The huge difference in body size represented the disparity in combat strength.

Such a small little thing posed no threat at all.

The tense atmosphere relaxed at once.

Iron Saber Mountain Master was embarrassed, and asked in a blaming tone: "Banbu, how could there be an ant tribe insect king in your territory?"

Banbu said: "Last night, Wind Chime said there was a Black Bear Warrior down the mountain and went to the Iron Saber Mountain Range to ask you to come and help. I waited and waited, but you didn't arrive, so I mustered my courage and went down the mountain to search."

"I didn't find the Black Bear Warrior, but then I found this little guy. Its ant colony had all been frozen to death, and it was about to starve to death, so I brought it back to the mountain."

Banbu then asked hopefully: "Iron Saber Mountain Master, I heard the Phantom Color Flame Spider tribe caravan say that there is a business of insect mouth exchange, how many Origin Stones can it be exchanged for?"

Iron Saber Mountain Master's mental power rudely swept over Big Head's body and asked: "Little guy, your ant colony has all been frozen to death?"

Big Head was almost scared to death by Iron Saber Mountain Master's aura, and tremblingly replied: "That's right, the winter was too cold, the ant nest was not warm, they were all frozen to death."

Iron Saber Mountain Master then asked: "Then what about your life seed?"

Big Head replied: "No life seed."

"No life seed?" Iron Saber Mountain Master then asked: "Then you don't have inheritance memory either?"

Big Head replied: "No."

Iron Saber Mountain Master asked: "Which ant race do you belong to?"

Seeing that Big Head was frightened, its mental state was chaotic, and fearing that its thinking would become confused and it would say something wrong, Banbu quickly interrupted and replied: "Big Head Harvest Ant, the kind that collects plant seeds, its nature is very gentle."

Iron Saber Mountain Master shook its antennae and said disdainfully: "So it's a race not protected by the gods!"

Banbu said: "Iron Saber Mountain Master, it's quite pitiful."

Iron Saber Mountain Master waved its antennae and said: "Then you give it some food, let it fill its stomach, and then send it away, it can't stay in the territory, you can't afford to raise it."

Iron Saber Mountain Master turned around and angrily questioned Wind Chime: "Are you sure you encountered a Black Bear Warrior? Or was it this tiny ant king?"

Wind Chime felt wronged for a moment, and then firmly and certainly said: "Iron Saber Mountain Master, I really saw it, a Black Bear Warrior with a very, very large body, there's absolutely no mistake."

Iron Saber Mountain Master asked: "Where did you see it?"

Wind Chime used its antennae and forelimbs at the same time, pointing in one direction, and said: "Over there, I saw it being sneaky, like it was trying to get close to Li Bamboo Peak."

Banbu immediately spoke, denying: "Wind Chime, are you sure it's over there? I checked carefully, there wasn't anything!"

Wind Chime said: "Then it must have run away."

Iron Saber Mountain Master flapped its wings and said: "Let's go, go down the mountain and take a look!"

After saying that, it took the lead in ascending into the air and flew down the mountain quickly.

The other warriors followed and flew down the mountain.

"Big Head, go back to the cave and stay there, don't move around, and don't talk nonsense."

Banbu instructed, and finally took off, flew down the mountain, landed beside Iron Saber Mountain Master, and asked:

"Iron Saber Mountain Master, how is it?"

Iron Saber Mountain Master said: "Wind Chime didn't see wrong, there is indeed a remnant of the aura of a bear-like beast, it's already very faint, you may not be able to sense it."

Chinese Arborvitae was a Level 7 Senior Warrior, second only to Iron Saber Mountain Master, and agreed: "The wind blew in the morning, scattering the smell, it's very faint."

Iron Saber Mountain Master examined the footprints on the ground and said: "There's no doubt it's a Black Bear Warrior, and its strength is not weak. A senior warrior below Level 7 might not be a match for it in a one-on-one fight. It dared to get close to Li Bamboo Peak, it must have bad intentions, we can't let it go. Everyone spread out and look around."

All the warriors received the order and scattered to search.

Iron Saber Mountain Master followed the faint scent and footprints on the ground, and tracked directly in the direction of Big Bear's escape. Until mid-morning, it came to a river ditch, stared at the bottom of the river, and said in frustration: "Damn it! Cunning Black Bear! It waded through the water, cutting off the scent."

Banbu had been nervously following beside Iron Saber Mountain Master, but upon hearing this, it secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, asking: "Iron Saber Mountain Master, what should we do?"

"Chase!"

It was a very small river ditch, the river water was crystal clear, and you could see the traces of silt left by Big Bear running. Iron Saber Mountain Master observed for a while, shook its antennae, released information, and gathered all the scattered warriors together.

Following the river, they continued to track.

Are they really going to do it? Still not willing to give up? Banbu couldn't help but become nervous again.

After walking a long distance, they came to a large pool.

The pool water was turbid, with traces of stirring. The green grass on the shore was still stained with silt, and there were traces of being trampled. There was no smell around the enclosure.

"Cunning Black Bear!"

"Damn beast!"

Iron Saber Mountain Master angrily cursed.

Chinese Arborvitae accelerated and ran, following the mud and footprints to continue tracking, drilled into the jungle, and soon turned back, saying disappointedly: "It must have covered itself with mud, concealing the smell, entered the mountain forest over there, and slowly there was no trace to be found, completely cutting off the clues."

Li Bamboo asked: "This Black Bear Warrior is even more cunning than the Clouded Leopard Warrior. If it really has ulterior motives towards Li Bamboo Peak, Banbu is afraid..."

Iron Saber Mountain Master thought for a while and said: "It's fleeing in the northwest direction, it should have a relatively fixed territory. Let's stop here today, don't disturb it."

A murderous aura suddenly rose in Iron Saber Mountain Master's mental power.

"I'll go invite warriors from nearby mountains to come and help, conduct a large-scale search, find it, and kill it!"
