It wasn't until evening that Kuro-sang returned first, and Li Zhu followed closely.

Before entering the cave, Li Zhu shouted, "Banbu, have you found the red bamboo?" ”

"Nope." Banbu didn't wait for Li Zhu to be disappointed, and continued: "But I found colorful red bamboo, which is another precious bamboo species with little value. ”

"Colorful red bamboo!" Li Zhu was pleasantly surprised and said: "Colorful red bamboo is more elegant and beautiful than red bamboo!" ”

Elegant and beautiful? Unwilling to dwell on such meaningless aesthetic questions, Banbu asked Kuro-san, "Have you found a mandarin duck bamboo?" ”

"Forehead......" Hei Sang played for a day, and he was still a little unhappy, thinking about where to play late at night, he was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "I didn't find it, I'll continue to look for it late at night." ”

Find your sister!

Banbu scolded secretly and said, "Those bamboo rats obviously trust Kuro-san more, and in the future, Kuro-san will simply communicate with them." Late at night, I'll go with you again, communicate in detail, pay for Force food, ask them for help, look for them in Jasper Ridge, mainly red bamboo, it's not bad to be able to find mandarin duck bamboo. ”

"No problem! If we can find two precious bamboo species, colorful red bamboo and red bamboo, it will be ...... It's wonderful! Li Zhu moved his tentacles vigorously and said excitedly: "Banbu, you take me to see the colorful red bamboo first." ”

Li Zhu has a paranoid love for bamboo, and when he heard that he found colorful red bamboo, he immediately urged Banbu to lead the way to check.

"Li Zhu, don't worry, I have more important things to discuss."

Li Zhu asked, "Is there anything more important than the colorful red bamboo?" ”

"Of course there is, Kuro-san, and you have to participate." Banbu waved his tentacles, motioned for Hei Sang to approach, and said, "Hei Sang, you should save some of the Force food you cheated from Li Zhu. ”

Kurosang said: "There are still a lot left. ”

Madara said: "Kuro-san, you have to pay attention, those bamboo rats are not as cute as they seem on the surface, on the contrary, they are very shrewd and cunning. Without the Force food, I'm afraid they won't work for us, you can't give it away easily, and in the future, give a pecan or 3 arborvitae seeds every day, that's a reward, understand? ”

Kuro-san twitched his tentacles and said, "I understand." ”

Banbu said, "You teach them all kinds of bamboo first, and they can't just play with them. ”

Kuro-san said, "I taught. ”

Ignoring whether or not he was taught, Banbu continued, "I'll leave my Force food for now, and when they help find the red bamboo, I'll send it out as a reward. ”

Li Zhu asked, "And then?" ”

Ban said: "In the vast sea of bamboo, I don't know how many precious bamboo species exist, I will promise more and greater benefits, so that they can continue to help find them." ”

"Let's come back next year in late autumn. I believe that after nearly a year of continuous searching, they will definitely have a harvest and can find more cherished bamboo species for us. ”

Li Zhu heard a pair of compound eyes glowing, and agreed: "Good idea! ”

"The key is that they can't be lazy during this period, so they have to communicate a lot and promise all kinds of benefits. Kuro-san, when you play with them, you can explain more about the life species, so that they can understand the strength and wealth of our red cockroach tribe. Especially the God-given seeds, and to euphemistically tell them, I own three God-given seeds. ”

"Zebrabu, you're bad!" Kuro-san was smart enough to understand what Madara meant, first complained, then reluctantly touched his tentacles, and said, "I know what to do." ”

The bamboo rat warriors are greedy, let them taste the sweetness, see the greater benefits, and have hope, they will not be lazy in the next year.

Li Zhu asked, "Banbu, are you really going to pay them a large amount of Force Food in return next year?" ”

Ban preached: "The bamboo sea is so big, it may not be possible to find out all the cherished bamboo seeds in ten years, and my Xuncao God-given seeds will have a lot of income next year, so there is no need to lose trust." ”

Li Zhu clicked his tentacles and said with a smile: "Give a little benefit appropriately, and let them desperately find bamboo seeds for us." ”

"Bad!" Kuro-san scolded angrily.

Banbu and Li Zhu were unimpressed, and continued to discuss how to deeply squeeze the labor of the Bamboo Rat Warriors.

After agreeing on this, Madara asked Kuro-san, "Kuro-san, where is your rough stone?" ”

Kurussan walked into the depths of the mine, dug out the snakeskin bag containing the rough stone, took it out piece by piece, and placed it on the ground, looking back and forth with some obsession.

Banbu and Li Zhu could both see it, and they were envious.

Banbu asked, "Kuro-san, what are you going to do with these rough stones?" ”

Kurosang said: "Trade, I can exchange it for many, many Force foods. ”

Banbu asked, "Who are you trading with?" ”

Hei Sang said: "The caravan of the Colorful Flame Spider Clan! Banbu, the Lord of Iron Knife Mountain said that the news of the God-given seed in your territory has long spread, and there will definitely be more than one caravan coming in the spring of the following year. ”

Banbu said: "The characteristics of the emerald rough stone are too obvious, you take it out and trade, once it is discovered by the Iron Knife Mountain Lord or the Ya Cypress, it will be immediately revealed." ”

After Banbu finished speaking, he added: "In disguise, Jasper Ridge and the Bamboo Rat Warrior will be exposed." ”

"That's right!" Kuro-san was anxious when he heard this.

Li Zhu gloated and said, "Hei Sang, if you don't want the bamboo rat warriors in Bishi Ridge to be discovered by the elders of the Red Cockroach Clan, it's best to sneak up the rough stone in the middle of the night. Bamboo rats are beast warriors, and once discovered......"

"You don't have to." Kuro-sang was depressed, put away the rough stone, and buried it again.

……

Banbu took Li Zhu to the waterfall to check out the colorful red bamboo.

After reading it, hunt a few bamboo rats to eat, rest for a while, and Li Zhu continued to look for red bamboo.

Banbu returns to the mine, joins up with Kuro-san, and finds Ma Zhu and the other six-headed bamboo rat warriors again.

First, the Force food was rewarded, and then after some advice, Kuro-san led the bamboo rat warrior to look for it on the outside of the current mountain range.

Banbu went to another mountain range and split up with Li Zhu to find it.

This time it took two more days, and the cold snap from the north passed through, and the drizzle stopped.

Banbu and Li Zhu met, but there was no gain, they returned to the mine together, and waited until the evening Hei Sang returned, some interrogation, it took six bamboo rat warriors to find the mountain range in the past two days, and luckily found the mandarin duck bamboo.

So far, seven days have passed, and all the inside and outside of Jasper Ridge have been searched, but they have not found the most desired red bamboo.

"Li Zhu, you say, could it be that the warrior in the Yotei Mountains is mistaken? Mistaking colorful red bamboo for red bamboo? ”

Li Zhu said: "It's not one, it's two warriors, two warriors go together, and they find it together, it's absolutely impossible to make a mistake, so I'm sure that there is a red bamboo in Bishiling." The problem is that too much time has passed, one of the fighters died of old age two years ago, and the other cannot remember the location. ”

"It's been too long...... Banbu hesitated, "It can't be some kind of natural disaster, extinction, right?" ”

Li Zhu rubbed his tentacles with his forelimbs, and said with a headache: "It's very likely!" I have experienced about three times of drought like last year's death, and I have seen many more severe natural disasters that were punished by the true God of nature. ”

Hei Sang asked, "Li Zhu, should we go back?" ”

Li Zhu said: "We have been out for 14 days, calculate the time, and we can still look for three days." ”

You can also play for three days! Hei Sang nodded his tentacles obediently, did not speak, and secretly rejoiced.

Banbu asked, "Is Hongzhu still looking for it?" ”

Li Zhu shook his tentacles and said, "Banbu, let's go to the next mountain range and continue to look for Zizhu." At present, those bamboo rat warriors have no malicious intentions, and Kuro-sang can stay, take them, expand the search area, and continue to search for red bamboo. ”

"Yay!" Kuro-san cheered.
