Chapter 35 Bamboo Species
Large-sized beasts often have fixed predation territory when they become adults, and they will only move in the event of food shortages, or natural disasters such as droughts, mountain torrents, etc.
Kill all the threatening beasts around Li Zhu Peak. Under normal circumstances, the probability of Ban Bu encountering danger after moving in is greatly reduced.
If you can’t hunt down beasts, you can simply ignore them and stay in the territory of Mata every day, eat and drink with peace of mind, and strengthen your body through bodybuilding movements.
Mata will go back to the nest to rest every night, and transmit hunting skills and knowledge of farming to Banbu.
Before we knew it, it was early winter and the beast hunting operation that lasted for nearly a month was over.
Ma Yu led Banbu to Lizhu Peak to familiar with the environment.
The Lord of Iron Dao Mountain decided to follow the command center and everyone worked together to cut down, cut off, smash, and bury all the dead bamboo forests on the mountain.
Rainwater and fungi will slowly decompose these dead trees and turn them into nutrients to increase soil quality.
Primitive civilization, primitive social structure, and farming are the core industries, which leads to "simple folk customs" and helping juniors build territory free of charge becomes an unwritten rule.
All the soldiers came to help and acted as free labor.
The stingy and mean wind chimes are busy in the mountains. Heisan, who has just been promoted to the 8th grade junior warrior, also came to join in the fun.
In agricultural production, hard work is a necessary quality.
This is already the last job. Banbu, who is the future owner of Li Zhushan, naturally cannot be idle. He was arranged to work with Heisang to remove the weeds around the cave.
Complete weeding, then go to the top of the mountain and sort out the ditches.
There is a dark reservoir inside the top of the mountain, and a ditche is designed to divert water. In the season of rain, the water flow is guided to store the reservoir through the ditches. During the dry season, the water storage in the reservoir will penetrate into the mountain to ensure the soil moisture at the mountainside. If the drought is severe, the reservoir sluice gate can be opened and the water flow can be guided through the ditches for irrigation.
This is another benefit of Banbu taking over Li Zhufeng. All kinds of basic agricultural projects are ready-made and have been tried and tested, and there are no mistakes.
...
After working all day, he finally completed all the tasks assigned by the Lord of Iron Dao Mountain. Hei Sang couldn't wait to urge:
"Ban Bu, Li Zhu!"
Hei Sang's ability to communicate mental power is limited. This day, he repeatedly expressed a certain meaning to Banbu.
It is roughly: Lizhu is a very good plant. Let’s go to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to find Lizhu seeds. I plan to nurture a Lizhu life seed.
After all, the Black Sang was born less than a year ago. Although it was a Force creature, its intelligence was still not high, which was about two or three years old. It was indeed quite smart and a little scheming. It was not ruled out that it existed to find the excuse of seeds and was lazy to go wandering and playing in the mountains.
Banbu thought for a while and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he took the lead in flapping his wings and flew down the mountain.
"etc."
Hei San's flying ability is much worse than that of Banbu, and he has to stop and rest every time he flies for a distance.
...
"Li Zhu" has been glorious for a long time in the Red Biao tribe, and can be said to be a specialty of Li Zhufeng.
The Jinzhu Mountain Master has cultivated a new variety that can blossom and bear fruit every 3 years and will not wither and die after flowering and bear fruit, and is named "Li Zhu".
The news spread that, including Princess Chijian and Lord of Iron Knife, many mountain masters and princesses spent a lot of money to exchange Lizhu seeds. Even many mountain masters of the Black and White Flower Broadbird tribe came to request transactions, and the popularity lasted for more than 20 years before it subsided. The Lord of Jinzhu made a big profit with the new variety of Lizhu, which was named after this.
The most planted plant in Li Zhu Peak is Li Zhu. This year, there was a drought and a large area of death. At this time, the one responsible for cutting and cleaning up the dead Li Zhu was Li Zhu, a senior iron blade soldier.
Li Zhu found Heisan and Banbu wandering around the bamboo forest and shouted from afar: "Heisan, Banbu, what are you two little guys doing?"
Hei Sang jumped and approached Li Zhu, shouting: "Seed. Find seeds."
At this time, the Master of Iron Dao Mountain and Ma Yu were also here at Li Zhu, and they seemed to be discussing something.
The Master of Iron Dao Mountain asked, "Are you planning to choose Li Zhu as your life seed?"
Hei San twitched his tentacles and said, "Yes."
The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain looked at Banbu.
Banbu followed the twitching of the tentacles and said, "Yes."
Bamboo has many disadvantages. The bamboo pole is hollow and fragile, and cannot withstand storms and is easily broken. It also has fatal disadvantages. The flowering and fruiting cycle is too long. Li Zhu blooms and bears fruit every 3 years, which is barely acceptable.
Bamboo also has advantages. If a seed is sown and developed well, a large bamboo pole can grow and even form a small bamboo forest. In terms of coverage area, it has advantages that other plants cannot match.
Lizhu seeds also come with special effects of strengthening the toughness of the carapace and muscles. Overall, they are only slightly inferior to the Iron Knife Tree, with the difference in the number of seeds and interval cycles.
"A wise choice, two smart little guys." Li Zhu praised and then said regretfully:
"This bamboo forest has withered due to drought, and there are not many seeds left. Go there and look for it."
"The Lizhu fruits ripen in late summer and early autumn. You should pay more attention to the ground. The rotten fruits must contain seeds in their sleep. They wait for spring to arrive and then take root and sprout."
"I understand." Hei Sang turned around and greeted, "Banbu, is that okay over there?"
"casual."
Banbu took the lead in taking off.
Li Zhu suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Banbu, wait, there is something I think it should be up to you to decide."
Banbu shaking tentacles in confusion.
The main tentacles of the Iron Knife Mountain raised his head and said, "That's right, Li Zhufeng is about to become Banbu's territory. It should be consulted for this matter."
All the matters about Li Zhufeng were always being discussed and handled by the Lord of Tiedao and Ma Yu, and they were thinking of Banbu, the future lord.
Banbu asked with his spiritual power: "What's the matter?"
Ma Yu said: "I have traveled to the mainland and have never seen any powerful tribe planting bamboo on a large scale to cultivate bamboo species. As a life species, bamboo has limited development prospects. I suggest cutting off all the bamboos in Li Zhufeng. Iron-knife wood is an excellent choice. You can plant iron-knife wood on a large scale. Once you cultivate excellent varieties, you can harvest huge wealth just through the tree species."
Mata seems very stubborn and determined when planning the future of Banbu.
The Lord of Iron Knife shaking his tentacles helplessly.
Li Zhu explained: "Mata advocates cutting off all the bamboos in Li Zhufeng and sow other tree species. The Iron Dao Mountain Master believes that some useful varieties should be retained, at least several varieties such as Li Zhu, Ma Zhu, Jin Zhu, etc. should be retained."
"That... I think every type of bamboo is a good choice for life and should not be cut off... Now everyone has their own opinions and has not yet concluded. Banbu, you should have your own opinions on this matter."
The situation is very obvious. Ma Yu hopes that Banbu will develop step by step, follow the example of the Iron Dao Mountain Master, and plant the Iron Dao Tree. The Iron Dao Mountain Master and Li Zhu hope that Banbu can inherit the will of the Jinzhu Mountain Master and continue to develop and cultivate bamboo.
The shortcomings of bamboo are too fatal, but the Lord of Iron Knife Mountain should not offend him. Banbuluo thought about it and used his spiritual power with some effort: "Leave a little of each, cut off the extra ones."
"Okay, a wise choice." Li Zhu sighed: "The Lord of Jinzhu Mountain has been looking for collecting various bamboo species all his life. The bamboo on the mountain is the crystallization of its lifelong efforts and should not be ruined so easily."
The Master of Iron Sword Mountain said with satisfaction: "Then let's follow Banbu's wishes, keep some of each kind of bamboo, and cut off the excess."
Li Zhu said: "I will transplant some rare bamboo species, I will manage and cultivate them myself to prevent disasters and lose my inheritance."
Ma Yu said: "Master of Iron Knife Mountain, I hope you can provide a batch of Iron Knife Wood seeds for Banbu in the beginning of next spring."
"No problem." The Lord of Iron Knife Mountain answered with ease, waved his tentacles, and said, "Heisan, Banbu, you go and play, be careful, don't run around, don't leave the mountain."
"Uh-huh."
"clear."
