Chapter 16: The Miracle of Life

The familiar drizzle.

In the evening, the temperature is slightly chilly.

Madara did not experience a season once last year, early autumn!

This time, the molt and growth slept for about a month, directly transitioning from the dry season of mid-summer and late summer to the rainy early autumn.

At the entrance of the cave in the chamber, a green grass plant with a height of at least 300 is gently swaying in the wind and rain, especially the lilac flower spike at the top, which emits a faint purple light in the dimness, which is extra gorgeous and eye-catching.

Xun grass life seed!

Not only has it survived the dry season, it has grown to incredible heights, and it has already tasseled and flowered.

When Banbu looked at it again, he was not surprised, but more amazed.

The fields seemed to have been destroyed by drought and locust plagues, but after a month, they not only came back to life and grew vigorously, but many of them also pulled out flower spikes.

Xun grass is a super tenacious grass species!

The miracle of life!

Banbu was amazed.

was stunned, and a soft force surged into Banbu's body like catharsis, and it was uncomfortable for a while.

Xun Cao's life seed had accumulated too much Force and needed to be released, so it was rudely passed to Banbu.

The carapace blooms with a light purple glow, and only a small part of these forces are absorbed by the cells, and most of them dissipate and return to nature.

"Now, the rate at which I absorb the Force on my own is just enough to sustain my own growth, and as expected, to be promoted to L4, I need the help of life seeds."

"In late autumn, I can still harvest a batch of Xuncao seeds, and the mountains are ......."

There are also the relics of the red cockroach warrior on the mountain, more than a dozen young trees, and a raspberry that has begun to bear fruit.

It's been a bumper year, and it's a little exciting to think about.

In the future, when the strength is strong, you can also return to the mountains and justifiably take those life seeds for yourself. The life seeds bred by other warriors cannot assist in absorbing the Force, but they can harvest a batch of Force fruits every year, which is a lot of income.

Rainy weather is good for going out, because at this time, all kinds of insects are hiding, and threatening predators are lurking and relatively safe.

Banbu thought about it for a few seconds, then dismissed the idea of going over to see what was going on.

The journey is long, and going back and forth is a waste of time and energy for no reason.

It is estimated that it will take a month for the raspberry fruit to start ripening, and it is not too late to go up the mountain to harvest it.

The lead clouds were thick, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and experience judged that it would take a day or two before it stopped, so I simply returned to the chamber and continued to eat dried meat and recuperate.

Now you can give birth to the third life seed, Bai Yusang and Yingri Fruit, Banbu decided to give priority to Yingri Fruit after careful consideration.

……

After the rain, the big-headed harvesting ants are busy carrying out the damp seeds and putting them to dry in the sun.

It was customary for Zebra to check their stock, and found no God-given seed, nor was he disappointed, and could not count on good fortune to accompany him all the time.

The number of locusts in the field has become scarce, and predation has become a critical problem.

I went to the grass on both sides of the stream to search, and before I knew it, I came to the mulberry forest again, and the off-white oval silkworm cocoons hanging on the mulberry trees attracted the attention of Banbu.

Cut open the cocoon, inside are tender and fat silkworm pupa, they are sleeping, waiting to break the cocoon into a moth.

When picking mulberries in summer, I found that there were gray-white silkworm activities on the trees, and later the drought, the mulberry leaves withered and yellowed, and they were also wrinkled and dying, but I didn't expect to survive.

It's good to survive!

Delicious food picked up for nothing.

The spotted cloth began to get busy, cutting the cocoons, killing the silkworm pupae inside, carrying them back, drying them, drying them, and storing them.

Many insects lay eggs in late autumn and then rapidly age and die, surviving the winter in a dormant state and hatching in the following spring, thus reproducing from generation to generation.

This means that there is nowhere to hunt insects in winter.

Banbu didn't want to go hungry in the winter, so he had to stock up on winter rations in advance.

The Force grows and needs a lot of food, the cocoons can't keep up with the demand, and the swordhorn locusts are not in high numbers, and the Bandar expands the hunting range to add two new regular hunting targets.

Crickets, similar to the swordhorn locust, have a pair of well-developed hind legs with extremely bouncing power are gourmet, the most common small insects in the jungle. There are many of them, but they are small in size, often alone or two or three of them go to eat, very vigilant, and must use ambush tactics to succeed, which is more difficult.

The other species is called the swamp frog, which is brown and has a tan pattern like a tree trunk, and is an amphibian that likes to hunt among the trees on both sides of the stream at night. The juvenile swamp frog that has just hatched in summer and is only about 30 years long is aimed at the spot, which is low vigilance and easy to hunt, but the disadvantage is that the number is small.

Banbu also found a large number of adult worms called "bare-shouldered star beetles" laying eggs. They lay eggs under the epidermis of the trunk of the tree, and only one per location is laid, and a female longhorn beetle can probably lay more than 100 eggs in succession.

The longhorn beetle is the scourge of the jungle, their eggs hatch in late autumn, and the larvae burrow into the trunks of trees, gnaw on wood, and grow to a certain size in the cold winter.

Fat juicy longhorn beetle nymph is nutritious and delicious.

Banbu observes the egg-laying patterns of adult longhorn beetles and plans to harvest them next spring.

……

There is not much time for hunting every day, and most of the time I lie idly at the entrance of the cave in the chamber, guarding the Xuncao life seeds, digesting food, absorbing the cosmic force, and feeling my own growth.

Banbu is still not used to passive growth and evolution that is not controlled by his own will, and after searching all over his body, the cockroach body does not have meridians.

After pondering and meditating for a long time, Banbu finally realized one day: he had been entangled in the absence of meridians, but he ignored the essential meaning of the existence of meridians.

Human meridians are used to store and guide the cosmic Force, to follow their own will, to transform the body, to use the Force efficiently, and to promote the evolution of genes in the ideal direction.

The blood of cockroaches can perfectly contain and release the cosmic force, in fact, the essence is to have the same storage and guidance ability as the meridians, the difference is that the blood of cockroaches automatically flows throughout the body uncontrollably, and the force carried is uncontrolled and naturally released.

As soon as Banbu's mind turned, a door opened in front of him: Controlling the flow of blood is not the same as meridian cultivation?

Humans certainly can't control their blood flow, but cockroaches don't.

Humans have only one heart, cockroaches have three large hearts on their chests and abdomen, and there are many small hearts distributed in the blood vessels of the body, especially in the key locations of nodules.

Large and small hearts work together to pump blood flow.

There is another wonderful use for the abundance of hearts, and that is interception. For example, if a leg is broken, the heart near the leg will immediately stop beating and close the floodgates, so the cockroach will only spill very little blood after being injured.

Banbu also discovered a wonderful thing, that is, every time the body evolves, the body grows, the size of the heart hardly changes, and in order to maintain blood flow, the blood vessels of the body will give birth to more hearts.

This is the discovery of Banbu's own changes, soul mutations induce body mutations, and it is not known for sure if this is the case with the body changes of other cockroaches.

Banbu's idea is very simple, there are countless large and small blood vessels in the body, which seem to be intricate, but in fact there is a great regularity, if you can control the beating and stopping of all the hearts, you can guide the blood to flow in the body, which is equivalent to guiding the force to circulate in the body.

It is very difficult to implement, whether the heart beats or not is regulated according to the condition of the body, hormonal stimulation, and is not manipulated by will.

Banbu has a lifetime of cultivation experience, mastering a lot of high-end scientific and technological knowledge and advanced cultivation secret arts, and after trying to clear the trick, he immediately came up with a solution, or found a way to practice.

Every big or small movement will affect the muscles, muscle movement, consume physical energy and nutrients, and stimulate some hearts to accelerate the movement of blood full of energy, nutrients and oxygen in time to transport the waste residue excreted by the cells.

If the movement is too intense, the heart associated with other unmoving parts will slow down or stop beating altogether, so that the moving parts can be replenished in a timely manner.

Once you've found the right direction, the next step is a huge exploration project: racking your brains to make all kinds of movements, while feeling the changes in your own heart rhythm.
