It could be said that the war between the cockroaches and the cat groups had started before the Independent Regiment had even been established. This was a global underground dispute, just like the feud between cultivators and the demon race and the devil race, which had lasted for a thousand years.
Everyone in the spirit beast circle knew that cockroaches and cat groups couldn't coexist.
For many years, cockroaches had been loathed for all kinds of bad practices. For example, they liked to live in greasy and smelly sewers and didn't care about their own hygiene at all. They used their greasy and germ-covered bodies to contaminate food and spread deadly germs to every corner of the city. ,
How terrifying were the cockroaches in the cultivation world? They had more tenacious vitality than normal cockroaches, and because of their strong reproductive ability, cultivators were defeated when they ran into cockroaches. Many cultivators would even choose to directly move out after discovering a cockroach nest at home. Once a cockroach nest was discovered, it wouldn't take more than a few days for the cockroaches to crawl into every corner of the house. As soon as you opened the door, you would see these pitch-black things spreading their steel wings and flying all over the place.
Thus, exterminating cockroaches and maintaining the environment in the cultivation world became something that all cultivators had to work together to face. Cockroaches reproduced so quickly that they couldn't be eradicated, so at the very least, they had to suppress their numbers by eliminating them every year.
There was now a cultivator's Pest Exterminator Guild in the market responsible for dealing with insect pests in each household. The guild would issue missions in the announcement hall based on the situation of the insect pests in each area. Cultivators who accepted the mission would receive a watch-shaped soul collector to record the number of cockroaches eliminated, and the mission would be considered complete once the target was reached.
Once the mission was completed, the cultivator would receive a certificate issued by Huaxiu Alliance as well as a reward of immortal fate merit points, which could be directly exchanged for all the cultivation resources they wanted in the guild.
This sounded easy, but it wasn't. After several years of working with the Pest Exterminator Guild, Huaxiu Alliance realized that it was difficult to completely suppress the insect pests with the strength of cultivators alone, and that there would be additional losses.
The main reason was that such a large area of pests would make many cultivators who went on missions choose to directly use their ultimate skills to kill the pests, and some even used sacred artifacts to kill the cockroaches … In the end, a lot of cockroaches were killed, but with the extinction of the cockroaches, the buildings would also be greatly damaged at the same time …
Therefore, this kind of behavior was not worth it …
After some consideration, Huaxiu Alliance decided to use some local spirit beasts to help clear out the pests, and the effect of this initiative was surprisingly good!
A large part of the reason why the independent regiment was able to develop now was because of Huaxiu Alliance's support. Not only did Lee Zheng Tan lead the cats to protect the environment, it had also found a way for its cat regiment to survive and develop.
Of course, apart from Huaxiu Alliance's support, another very important reason for its current scale was that Lee Zheng Tan had personally captured Qiang Gang's boss, Cockroach Wenqiang.
Just as Tyrant had said, this was a giant cockroach the size of two adult palms when caught.
However, in reality, this was not the complete form of Cockroach Wenqiang.
In order to catch it, Lee Zheng Tan had put in a lot of effort. When it had caught Cockroach Wenqiang, this guy had shrunk into a corner and hadn't moved at all. Lee Zheng Tan had calculated when Cockroach Wenqiang was going to evolve and shed its skin, and had ordered the nearby cats to swarm over and take down the weakened Cockroach Wenqiang in one fell swoop.
And then, there was no "and then" … Cockroach Wenqiang was now imprisoned in a glass fish tank and couldn't get out at all. After being caught, Lee Zheng Tan had straightaway executed the water torture on Cockroach Wenqiang.
Of course, it was impossible to directly drown Cockroach Wenqiang in water. This guy was the king of cockroaches, and it went without saying how tenacious it was. Even if it was soaked in wine, it would still be alive and well. Thus, Lee Zheng Tan had hit the nail on the head, and mixed birth control pills into contraceptive water, and soaked Cockroach Wenqiang in it for seven days and seven nights … directly sterilizing it.
After learning that it was infertile, Cockroach Wenqiang was filled with righteous indignation. "You're going too far!"
"Go too far, hairy ball … the country only allowed for a second child, and you've already given birth to hundreds of millions of children. Aren't you ashamed?" Back then, Lee Zheng Tan's retort had directly dumbfounded Cockroach Wenqiang.
Cockroach Wenqiang had tenacious vitality. Considering that it couldn't be directly eliminated, Lee Zheng Tan had decided to simply raise it and use it to control the emperor. As long as Cockroach Wenqiang was in its hands, the nearby cockroaches would calm down a little. Most importantly, Lee Zheng Tan could even use Cockroach Wenqiang as bait to draw out an endless stream of nearby cockroaches, and the cat regiment would just have to wait for them.
After seeing the news about Magic Treasure Development University, Lee Zheng Tan's mood inexplicably fluctuated. After feeling melancholy for a while on a branch, it then went over to the goldfish tank and stared at Cockroach Wenqiang with its bright eyes.
Cockroach Wenqiang didn't care at all. It knew that Lee Zheng Tan couldn't kill it, and it was very happy in its heart. "You've found a way to kill me? You can't kill me. At best, your realm is only at the peak late Foundation Establishment stage. I was hit by a Soul Formation cultivator's palm before, and the other side thought that I had already been smashed into powder. God knows that I'm still alive … "
"I know." Lee Zheng Tan interrupted Cockroach Wenqiang's torrent of words. The latter only wanted to remind it not to waste its energy, and Lee Zheng Tan was naturally well aware of this.
"I'm here to negotiate with you. If you can agree to my request, I can even let you go, "Lee Zheng Tan said to Cockroach Wenqiang while playing the piano.
"You want to let me go?" Cockroach Wenqiang didn't dare believe it. Its mouthparts opened and closed, and the two antennae on its head trembled slightly at these words.
"Provided that you can do what I want," Lee Zheng Tan said.
"Tell me." Cockroach Wenqiang's antennae swayed swiftly like two windshield wipers; it had this special habit when it was thinking about a problem.
"You may have already heard about a serial murder case. I know that you have subordinates in all the places where humans live, so can you find witnesses? "Lee Zheng Tan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Humans view us as bedbugs and want to exterminate us. Why should we testify against them? "Cockroach Wenqiang laughed.
"Every living creature has the right to live, and you are no exception. But your mistake was overbreeding. This will cause trouble for other living creatures, which is why you have to be exterminated. If you can find suitable witnesses, perhaps this will be a good opportunity to improve, "Lee Zheng Tan analyzed very seriously.
Cockroach Wenqiang thought for a while.
Finally, it agreed to the request. "I can help you look, but you have to satisfy one of my requests."
"What is it?"
"The food you've been feeding me these last two days is too lousy. I want to improve my diet."
"Then what do you want to eat?"
"There's a villa in the eastern suburbs whose owner is a crispy noodle snack lover. I want to eat his crispy noodle snacks. I don't need the whole package, just the leftovers will do. Find someone to look for plastic wrappers at a nearby garbage station, even if there's just a little crumb … "As Cockroach Wenqiang spoke, it started to drool.
When it had still been a small cockroach, it had relied on these bits and pieces every day to grow to its current size. The offspring it gave birth to were also several times larger than normal cockroaches.
So, why had southern cockroaches been getting bigger and bigger in recent years?
All of this started when he had fallen in love with crispy noodle snacks as a child …
