Astral Cockroach

With his mental strength fully unleashed, Banbu followed the direction indicated by the wind chime's antennae and indeed discovered two surges of Origin Power rapidly approaching, already quite close. The leopard cat's fur was entirely black, and under the cover of night, his compound eyes could only make out four flickering orange orbs.

Its movements were swift and agile, producing only subtle, barely perceptible sounds as it ran.

Its concealment and stealth were nearly perfect, yet somehow, the wind chime had detected it.

The wind chime cried out in fear, "The mountain is coming! What should we do?"

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk snapped angrily, "Quick, stop them!"

Although Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk was only a Rank 1 Advanced Warrior, his courage far surpassed that of the wind chime. After shouting, he was the first to flap his wings and rush down the mountain.

"Banbu?" The wind chime turned back and saw that Banbu had already begun to move, stealthily sneaking down the mountain.

"Be… be careful!"

The wind chime stood in place, blankly staring for two seconds, before finally steeling his heart, flapping his wings, and flying down the mountain.

Bang!

A muffled thud of impact sounded, followed by the rustling and tumbling of something rolling down the slope.

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk had intended to swoop down from the air, but a leopard cat leaped up and collided with him, causing him to lose his balance and tumble down the mountain.

The wind chime had also planned to dive in for an attack, but upon seeing Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk suffer, he turned in mid-air, landed on the mountainside slope, and charged downwards, hugging the ground.

"Gurgle!"

The two leopard cats halted, emitting threatening growls from their throats as a warning.

The wind chime, who had resolved to fight bravely, suddenly became fearful. With a spread of his pulse wings, he soared into the air, circled twice, and turned his head to fly back towards the mountain peak.

"Wind Chime!"

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk roared in anger, charging towards the two leopard cats once more.

Startled by Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk's roar, the wind chime, who had intended to flee, once again overcame his fear, adjusted his direction in mid-air, straightened his hind legs, locked onto a leopard cat, and swooped down.

Bang!

Bang!

Two muffled thuds rang out in succession.

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk was sent flying by the leaping leopard cat.

The wind chime was larger and had sufficient kinetic energy from his dive, which knocked the leopard cat to the ground, while he himself wobbled and crashed down.

"Aow! Aow! Aow…"

The leopard cat that had knocked Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk away was sturdily built, with a body length of about 400. Its strength was clearly greater. Suddenly, it became alert and howled in terror.

The leopard cat knocked away by the wind chime was much smaller, only about 300. Under the force of the massive impact, it lost its balance and tumbled down the slope.

A huge black and white figure suddenly burst out of the forest, pouncing over, arriving in an instant. Its strong hind leg claws seized the leopard cat, flashed past, and carried it into the high sky.

The wind chime exclaimed in alarm, "It's Mountain Master Huabai of the Cliff Cypress Mountains!"

"Kill! Quick, there's one more. It wants to run. Wind Chime, quick, stop it!"

"Why would Mountain Master Huabai suddenly appear?"

Banbu, who had been lurking in the shadows, preparing to launch a surprise attack, resubmerged himself, looked up, and watched Mountain Master Huabai grab the sturdy leopard cat, fly it high into the sky, and then drop it.

Seeing the situation was bad, the other leopard cat turned and attempted to flee, but the wind chime and Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk were doing their best to intercept it.

Banbu's mind raced, and he was greatly alarmed. Suppressing his mental strength, he said, "Wind Chime, let it go."

The wind chime turned back in confusion.

Banbu shook his antennae vigorously, very anxiously.

The wind chime was even more puzzled.

"Wind Chime!"

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk was very anxious, conveying anxious and angry thoughts. He was only a Rank 1 Advanced Warrior and couldn't stop the fleeing leopard cat.

"Ah!"

The wind chime turned back, but it was too late. In the two or three seconds of confusion and daze, the leopard cat broke through Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk's encirclement, sped into the dense forest, and disappeared.

"Chase! Follow the scent and chase!"

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk growled.

"Oh."

The wind chime was still wondering. Just now, Banbu seemed to be telling him to let that leopard cat warrior go. When he turned his head to look again, Banbu was swaggering towards the mountain peak.

In the distance, Mountain Master Huabai dropped the sturdy leopard cat from the sky, smashing it onto the mountain range, and was now rapidly descending to check the corpse.

It should be dead, right?

One died, leaving only one. The one that escaped was clearly weaker.

Chase? Or not chase?

Why not chase?

The wind chime was stunned for another two seconds before choosing to follow Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk to hunt down the escaped leopard cat.

After confirming that the leopard cat warrior was dead, Mountain Master Huabai immediately set off to chase the other one, but he had already missed the best time.

…

The crisis was averted.

Banbu was in a great mood. He returned to the mountain peak, leisurely picked up a God-Given Seed grass seed and swallowed it, lay on the ground, slowly digesting it, feeling that special Origin Power flowing through his body along with his blood, merging into his bodily cells.

A wonderful feeling.

He couldn't help but stand up again, using his cultivation technique to accelerate the body's absorption of Origin Power.

In one breath, he swallowed all the remaining two purplish-gold grass seeds, which was satisfying.

The latest and most complete novels are at 69shuba.top!

Then he began to pick other newly matured grass seeds.

A total of 39 God-Given Seed seeds matured overnight.

Growth is very regular. During the day, the grass absorbs sunlight and nutrients, continuing its biological energy. At night, it accumulates Origin Power energy, so the seeds only mature at night, and each plant matures 1 seed each night.

According to this rule, it takes exactly 3 days for all 117 grass seeds to mature.

Banbu carefully calculated that there were 23 Advanced Warriors in Iron Saber Peak. Giving each one 1 seed to try, he would still have 94 seeds left. He had to save 3 seeds to wait for the wandering merchant team of the Iridescent Flame Spider Tribe to arrive, let them taste and price them, and he could eat 91 seeds.

Banbu is currently a Level 2 Intermediate Warrior. Using his cultivation technique, he can only eat about 5 seeds a day at most, and he can't digest any more than that.

"I can have a few more days of nourishing days."

Banbu thought happily.

Around dawn, Mountain Master Huabai carried the corpse of the leopard cat he had previously killed, and landed at Lizhu Peak.

He threw the corpse in front of Banbu and shouted angrily, "Give it to your Iron Saber Mountain Master!"

"Okay." Banbu first said gratefully, "Thank you Mountain Master Huabai for resolving the situation last night, otherwise I would have been miserable."

Mountain Master Huabai was even angrier when he heard this. He was angry for a while, and sternly warned, "Little guy, there were a total of 5 leopard cat warriors. This dead one was their leader, and it died in your territory."

Banbu asked knowingly, "Mountain Master Huabai, did the other leopard cat warrior from last night run away?"

"Ran away!"

"Those two Advanced Warriors from your Red Ant Tribe are simply useless!"

Mountain Master Huabai roared as if venting his anger, unwilling to waste any more words, he directly flapped his wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

The combat performance of Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk and the wind chime was indeed unsightly. Not to mention the wind chime, Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk was simply a model of a "reckless fool", only knowing to charge and kill, and specializing in choosing powerful opponents. This kind of insect is a typical cannon fodder on a large battlefield.

…

After a while, Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk and the wind chime returned after chasing.

The wind chime was safe and sound.

In the collision with the leopard cat, the wing membrane of Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk's left main wing was torn by sharp claws, which was considered an injury, temporarily affecting flight. However, during the next molting and growth, the old pulse wings will fall off and be replaced with a new pair of pulse wings, which is not a big deal.

The wind chime asked, "Banbu, why didn't you chase?"

Banbu said, "I'm slow and can't catch up."

The wind chime lowered his mental strength and asked, "Banbu, last night, at the most critical moment, did you secretly let me… squeak, let me let that leopard cat warrior go?"

Before Banbu could answer, Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk was already angry and roared, "Wind Chime, you are not only a coward! You are also shirking responsibility. Last night, it was clearly your own timidity. You didn't have the courage to fight the leopard cat!"

The wind chime felt ashamed and was speechless. His performance last night was indeed unsightly, retreating at the last moment, but, vaguely, he seemed to really hear Banbu telling him to let that escaping leopard cat warrior leave.

Banbu said seriously, "Iron Saber Mountain Master should be arriving soon. Don't mention the wind chime's cowardice later, otherwise it will be even more difficult for him in the Red Ant Tribe in the future…"

Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk interrupted, "He is a coward! I want all the tribesmen to know that he is not worthy of being a Red Ant Tribe warrior."

Banbu said, "The wind chime is about to move to Lizhu Peak. He will be a warrior of the Jiping Mountains in the future. I don't want the Jiping Mountains to be looked down upon by the same tribe."

"But… okay…" Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk said, "Then I won't say anything."

Banbu also said to the wind chime, "Wind Chime, don't say too much either. It's just because you and Flame Cluster Spotted-stalk were not strong enough to stop the escaped leopard cat warrior."

"Okay." The wind chime gratefully nodded his antennae, happy and even more confused at the same time, completely unable to understand Banbu's intentions.
