Cockroaches rely on the growth and strength of their life seeds, and the choice of life seeds is crucial.

After hesitating for a moment, Banbu transmitted the message with his mental telepathy, "Xun Grass."

"Xun Grass?" Yancubanmao pondered for a moment, then became nervous again, exclaiming, "Xun Grass!"

"Why Xun Grass? Xun Grass is no good! Xun Grass will wither in winter! Silly child, why did you choose Xun Grass as your life seed?"

"Don't tell me you've nurtured three Xun Grass life seeds!"

Yancubanmao completely regarded Banbu as a naive and ignorant child, unaware that it was itself acting like a child, constantly startled and unable to keep its composure.

Communication was too exhausting!

Banbu remained silent for a while, then used its claws to draw two vertical lines on the ground.

Yancubanmao asked, "Two Xun Grass life seeds?"

"Yes," Banbu nodded its antennae.

The first choice of Xun Grass as a life seed was a last resort because there were no other suitable seeds available at the time. The second life seed was not just any Xun Grass seed, but an extremely rare gift from the gods.

But these matters were too complex to describe clearly.

Yancubanmao asked, "What plant did you choose for the third life seed?"

Banbu rested for a long time before answering with its mental telepathy, "Sunburst Fruit."

Yancubanmao relaxed a bit and said, "Sunburst Fruit is not bad. It seems you know how to choose life seeds, right?"

"Yes," Banbu nodded its antennae.

Yancubanmao suddenly realized and asked, "Because of the season? You became a warrior in spring and couldn't find suitable seeds, so you chose Xun Grass as your life seed?"

Banbu nodded its antennae, "Yes."

Yancubanmao puzzled, "Xun Grass seeds ripen in midsummer, so where did you get them?"

Banbu waved its antennae, transmitting two consecutive messages, "Ants. Steal."

"Oh, those big-headed ants? Don't mess with them." Yancubanmao understood the general situation and comforted, "Banbu, don't be discouraged. It's okay, each molting can nurture a life seed, wasting two times isn't a big loss. But, from now on, you must be careful to choose the best plant seeds to nurture life seeds, understand?"

Banbu nodded its antennae, "Understood."

Yancubanmao shook its antennae and said, "Come, I'll show you something good."

Banbu was puzzled but followed Yancubanmao to the shady side of the mountain peak.

A cave was carved into the steep cliff, which seemed to be Yancubanmao's dwelling cave judging by its size.

In front of the cave was a flat ground, cleared of various plants.

Cut-off branches were piled up to form a simple fence, inside of which grew a sapling only about 30 units tall.

"Banbu, can you recognize what plant this is?"

Yancubanmao was proud, intending to show off in front of the younger generation.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

How could Banbu recognize a sapling?

Banbu uncooperatively shook its antennae directly, "Don't know."

"Take a closer look, think carefully, there must be descriptions in the inherited memories."

"Don't know."

Without thinking, Banbu really couldn't recognize the type of plant in front of it.

Yancubanmao noticed Banbu's lack of interest in its most proud life seed plant, feeling somewhat disappointed, and explained actively, "This was a gift from the Ironknife Mountain Lord last year. It's the Crimson Firmament Tree!"

Ironknife Mountain Lord? Ironknife Tree?

Crimson Firmament Tree!

Banbu became interested and began to carefully examine the sapling in front of it.

In the inherited memories, there were many records about plants, which were vast and chaotic. Banbu had spent some time summarizing and organizing them.

According to the distribution and quantity, various plants could be classified into four levels: common, uncommon, rare, and precious.

Plants like Side Cypress, Raspberry, Thorn Pear, Walnut, Eucalyptus, Elm, etc., belonged to common plants.

White Jade Mulberry and Sunburst Fruit could be considered uncommon plants.

There were many plants that could be classified as rare.

Ironknife Tree and Crimson Firmament Tree belonged to precious plants, perhaps also considered "endangered species."

According to the development prospects after nurturing life seeds, various plants could be divided into four levels: low, medium, high, and precious.

The distribution quantity did not directly correspond to the development prospects.

Grass plants like Xun Grass, Yancubanmao, etc., belonged to the low development prospects.

Raspberry, Thorn Pear, White Jade Mulberry, Sunburst Fruit could be considered medium development prospects.

Side Cypress was the most common and could also be considered high development prospects.

Ironknife Tree and Crimson Firmament Tree's development prospects could be ranked as precious.

Ironknife wood was harder than steel, and the fruit condensed from Ironknife Tree life seeds needed to be roasted before eating, with the effect of "strengthening the shell hardness." This was its precious quality.

Crimson Firmament Tree, similar to Ironknife wood but even harder, its branches were harder than Ironknife wood. The fruit condensed from Crimson Firmament Tree life seeds had two effects, namely "strengthening the shell hardness" and "increasing endurance."

Based on human knowledge and experience from the previous life, Banbu judged that the essence of "increasing endurance" was to increase the upper limit of nutrient and energy substance storage in body cells. This enhancement had great utility, as it could improve sustained combat capability and reduce the risk of failing to evolve during molting due to insufficient nutrient reserves.

Plants like Crimson Firmament Tree, which were rare in nature and had precious development prospects, could be classified as "rare plants."

Banbu shook its antennae, transmitting a message to Yancubanmao: "Is there more?"

Yancubanmao was very satisfied with Banbu's reaction, saying, "The Ironknife Mountain Lord only gave me one seed."

Rare plant species were difficult to find, but once found, it meant that seeds could be collected for a long time, and they would no longer be scarce.

As long as that Ironknife Mountain Lord wasn't foolish, he would stockpile Crimson Firmament Tree seeds in large quantities.

Banbu transmitted a shameless message: "I want one too."

Yancubanmao patiently explained, "The Crimson Firmament Tree seeds were obtained by the Ironknife Mountain Lord through an exchange with the Crimson Firmament County Princess. It takes 10 Ironknife Tree seeds to exchange for one Crimson Firmament Tree seed, and he only exchanged for a total of 10 seeds, which is very rare."

The strength distribution of the cockroach tribe: junior warrior, intermediate warrior, senior warrior, mountain lord, county princess, cockroach king.

Mountain lord, county princess, cockroach king not only represented the height of genetic evolution but also served as

a symbol of power and status.

Banbu began to be interested in the existence of "Ironknife Mountain Lord" and "Crimson Firmament County Princess."

These fellow cockroach tribesmen seemed easy to talk to.

Yancubanmao clearly regarded Banbu as an inexperienced child.

The benefits of using Crimson Firmament Tree as a life seed were too great and too important. Banbu decided to act cute and silly once, jumping around and vigorously waving its antennae, releasing pheromones, and clamoring, "I want one too, I want one too..."

Yancubanmao was in a dilemma. It originally wanted to show off in front of the younger generation to establish its authority as an elder, but unexpectedly... how did it turn into a quarrel?

"Then I'll ask the Ironknife Mountain Lord and see?" Yancubanmao raised its antennae, silent.

Banbu vaguely felt energy emitting from its antennae.

A familiar energy fluctuation.

Electromagnetic waves!

Cockroaches could also evolve remote wireless communication abilities!

Banbu was amazed.

After sending the message, Yancubanmao suddenly collapsed, lying motionless on the ground, resting for a long time before getting up again, inexplicably excited, proudly saying, "A new tribe warrior has been born in my territory. Those old guys must be envious. Haha, Mayu and the Mountain Lord must be very happy."

"I want one too, I want one too..."

Banbu continued to clamor, just wanting to hear the result of their communication.

Yancubanmao thought for a moment and asked, "Banbu, are you hungry? Be quiet for a while, I'll go get some food first, and then I'll take you to the Ironknife Mountain Lord's territory."
