Astral Ants

Chapter 13 The Lacquer Spider King
Ants and bees are fierce.

The flame spider family entered the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent for trade. To ensure safety, there must be a spider king to lead the caravan, and the minimum members of the caravan must be mountain masters.

Luochen followed the Zeqi Spider King into the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent once every two years.

Long Bai followed Luo Li and also got to know Ze Qi Spider King.

Long Bai gave Mo Lan his spider silk bag, intending to "borrow one" from Zeqi Spider King.

……

It's not yet dawn,

Long Bai got up early, made arrangements for the territory, flew over the mountains, came to the cave where Mo Lan lived, and greeted Mo Lan to set off.

It was only at night that he finally entered the Ten Thousand Nations Continent.

Long Bai stood on the hillside and watched, and there were already a large number of flame spider caravans gathered on the flat ground below the mountain.

"Long Bai, how are you doing?"

"Long cypress, will they hurt us?"

Looking at groups of huge russet giant spiders at the foot of the mountain, Mo Lan suddenly became a little scared.

Long Bai comforted: "The Flame Spider Caravan will not take the initiative to harm other Zerg. Don't be afraid, Mo Lan."

Long Bai: "The Zeqi Spider King has a long walking route, so it probably hasn't arrived yet."

Long Bai shook his tentacles and greeted, "Mo Lan, are you tired after flying all day? Let's rest for one night and see it tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

Mo Lan followed Long Bai back to the channel and hid in the starship to rest overnight.

the next morning,

Long Bai stood on the top of the mountain early and looked at it from a high position.

Mo Lan got a little more courageous, and hid under a bush of thorns on the top of the mountain, watching the movement down the mountain.

Several caravans arrived one after another, looking for a place to settle down, but they did not see the Zebra Spider King.

Caravans are used to traveling at night.

At noon, Long Bai and Mo Lan withdrew into the starship until the next morning, when they turned up the hill and continued to look around.

Until noon, there was still no Zeqi Spider King.

Waited for four days in a row.

Finally, on the fifth day, in the middle of the morning, a familiar figure came into view.

Zeqi Spider King leads the team, followed by 8 Flame Spider Mountain Lords, and 3 Flame Spider Lords are behind the team.

"coming!"

Long Bai reminded, the tentacles waved, raised the forefoot, and guided the direction.

"Oh--"

Mo Lan straightened up and looked out, and asked, "Long Bai, did you go there alone?"

If you are afraid to go, just tell me~
Long Bai: "No rush..."

After leading the team into the assembled flat ground, Zeqi Spider King opened his mouth and spit out a super-sized seed, which took root on the ground, germinated, and grew rapidly against the sun, growing into a ten-meter-high 'Zeqi Grass' at a speed visible to the naked eye .

Flame spiders are different from other Zerg races. They only breed one Life Seed in their lifetime. After repeated breeding of Life Sac, they have the ability to switch between the two forms of plants and seeds at will.

The life-seeds of the flame spiders will not blossom and bear seeds. For them, the life-seeds are just a tool to absorb the original force to replenish themselves, and it is a symbol of identity.

The symbol of the king of lacquer spiders is the super huge 'Zezi lacquer grass'.

The other flame spiders in the caravan spit out life seeds one after another, centered on the Zelacquer Spider King, sowed seeds around, and grew rapidly to form a circle.

Inside the circle is the trading circle of the caravan led by Zeqi Spider King.

One after another, flame spiders from other caravans came forward to communicate.

At the same time, a lord-level flame spider and five mountain-master-level flame spiders of the lacquer caravan also started to move, and went separately to the trading circle of other flame spider caravans.

Long Bai was not in a hurry to go down the mountain.

The caravan had just arrived, and there was an endless stream of powerful Flame Spiders looking for the Shangze Paint Spider King, talking with it, and trading.

In the middle of the afternoon, Zeqi Spider King finally finished his work.

"Mo Lan, let's go down the mountain together and meet the Zeqi Spider King?"

"Long Bai, you go. I'll wait for you."

"Ok."

The mountain-like figure of the Spider King is indeed a bit daunting for insects.

With little reluctance, Long Bai fanned his membrane wings into the sky and flew down the mountain.

……

"Zeqi Spider King, do you remember me?"

Long Bai flapped his wings, and carefully landed on a leaf of the lacquer grass so that the other party could see him.

"Oh! Of course! Long Bai. That smart little guy."

Zeqi Spider King was very impressed with Long Bai, a small ant king with super memory and calculation ability, and a rare male ant king.

When following the caravan, every time there was a transaction, this little guy could report the accurate results in one go.

Zeqi Spider King also strongly recommended Longbai to all the giant ant kings, but unfortunately, for some inexplicable reason, in the ant tribe, male ant kings are naturally rejected.

"Zeqi Spider King, is Luoqin Mountain Lord alright?"

Long Bai asked.

After waiting for so many days, I also wanted to inquire about the current situation of Luochen.

Zeqi Spider King: "Luoqin is fine."

Zeqi Spider King took the initiative to say: "Little guy, I am so happy to see you again. I said goodbye to you last year, and Luozhi was sad for a long time. It was worried about your safety and future."

Long Bai: "I'm fine..."

Zeqi Spider King asked: "Have you found a territory where you can live and live?"

Long Bai: "I found it."

Zeqi Spider King slowly raised his forelimbs, pointed to the distant hills, and asked, "Long Bai, is that orchid praying mantis warrior a friend you met in Yunji Continent?"

Long Bai: "Yes. It's called Molan, and it likes orchids. We met last winter. The Force is abundant near its territory. I moved there. We live next to each other, live together, and help each other."

Zeqi Spider King: "Then what about your life plant?"

Long Cypress: "Currently the four cypress trees are in good health and are growing vigorously. They are expected to bloom and bear seeds in the next year."

Zeqi Spider King: "That's great. Luo Li will be very happy to hear about you."

Zeqi Spider King said worriedly: "Long Bai, you are already two years old, right? We parted last year, and you are four years old..."

After a lapse of one year, Long Bai was only promoted to one age.

This growth rate is too slow.

The lifespan of a junior ant king is only a short dozen or so years. After the young adult period, it will become difficult to promote and break through.If it goes on like this, it will die young.

Long Bai didn't want the news to reach Luoli, causing Luoli to worry about herself, so he said confidently:

"I'm not far from the 6th age, and I can grow to the 7th age this year!"

"Oh? As long as you have confidence."

Zeqi Spider King is not optimistic about Longbai from the bottom of his heart.

The higher the age, the more difficult it is to evolve, and the lack of force in Yunji Continent makes it even more difficult.

Long Bai didn't want to get entangled in this issue, so he took the initiative to change the subject, saying: "Zeqi Spider King, I came to you for a small matter... Mo Lan and I need a spider silk bag to store various items. I told You credit one, and in the future my cypress tree will blossom and bear seeds, and I will repay it with food from the original force."

"Oh--"

"Haha."

Zeqi Spider King said: "Spider silk bags are not worth a few rough stones, I'll give you one."

After finishing speaking, the spider silk that bound the luggage on the back was automatically untied, and with a tearing sound, a spider silk bag was automatically opened, and there were empty spider silk bags of different sizes and specifications inside, wrapped into rolls.

One of the rolls floated up automatically and fell under the lacquer grass.

Zeqi Spider King: "Long Bai, this is the smallest bag I carry."

The smallest bag width is also 30 cm, and the depth should be 60 cm.

"Thank you Zelacquer Spider King!"

Long Bai expressed his thanks happily, the vibrating membrane wings landed on the ground, and he lifted up the rolled bag that was several times his size, and said:
"Just right!"

"It's just right. It's just right for that praying mantis warrior."

Zeqi Spider King could see clearly that Long Bai came here to help Mo Lan get a spider silk bag.

"Thank you Zelacquer Spider King."

Long Bai thanked again, worried that Mo Lan on the hillside was waiting impatiently, and said goodbye: "Zeqi Spider King, please send my greetings to Luo Li. Mo Lan and I have been here for 5 days, and we have to return to the territory quickly .”

"OK……"

"and many more!"

Zeqi Spider King stopped Long Bai and asked, "Long Bai, there is no sign of recovery of the original force in Yunji Continent?"

Long Bai: "No."

Stab it!

On the back of Zeqi Spider King, a spider silk bag containing rough stones opened automatically. The spider silk was as dexterous as a foot, and it grabbed 5 rough stones.

"This year it's our caravan's turn to check. Then I won't send little soldiers over there."

"Long Bai, this is the reward."

After Zeqi Spider King finished speaking, the spider silk bag held high by Long Bai unfolded automatically, opened with a thud, and 5 rough stones wrapped around the spider silk fell into the bag.

Zeqi Spider King: "Long Bai, can you move it?"

Long Bai was overjoyed and said sonorously: "It can be moved!"

stab it~ stab it~
On Zeqi Spider King's back, 23 spider silk bags filled with original food were opened one after another. Many spider silks swayed like tentacles. He took one of each kind of original food and put it into Long Bai's spider silk bag, saying:

"Then add another piece of force food, can you move it? The Flame Spider Traveler does not do unprofitable transactions. This is what I gave you on credit for Luochen, and you will repay it with the cypress seeds produced in your own territory in the future." .”

"Evolve early."

Zeqi Spider King warned.

　It is recommended on the Internet, and a chapter will be updated soon.
