Astral Ants

Chapter 155

The ruling throne flew to Baifan Mountain detour, searching for the place of force along the way.

After the transaction is completed, go back to Xianglan Mountain around the road, unload and replenish.

The ghost fan god bestowed seed matures this fall.

Long Bai took 1000 rough stones, and then made a detour to Ghost Fan Mountain to trade.

Going around and around, a month passed.

Most of the time, he wandered around in the middle of the "Southwestern Region of Yunji Continent" divided by Longbai, and found nothing.

Long Bai and Mo Lan came to Scarlet Mountain again.

Before the ruling throne landed firmly, Green Maple and Red Maple galloped, flapped their wings, took off, and landed.

--Cymbidium!
——Longcypress Ant King!
——You are finally here!
- We are going to evolve.

Qingfeng: "I'll come first!"

Red Maple: "I go first!"

Qingfeng: "Last time it was you who took the lead, this time it's my turn!"

Red Maple: "Last time it was you, this time it's my turn."

"Don't be noisy!"

Seeing that the two guys were arguing and about to fight, Long Bai slapped his tentacles, one of them gave it, and said:
"Green Maple, last time it was you first. This time it's Red Maple's turn."

Long Bai scolded: "Go down. Go down. Both of you go down. First remove the ant nest."

Mo Lan waved her tentacles to drive away, and then jumped off the throne.

"Longcypress Ant King. Mo Lan."

Sang also came over.

After a brief greeting, he first moved the large bag of goods collected from Ghost Fan Mountain into the cave, and unloaded the stump ant nest.

Red Maple went up first, and after eating a little Force Ant Honey, fell into a deep sleep and evolved.

Waking up in only 2 days.

Even with the green maple, it only took 2 days to complete it easily.

The 6th-year-old beetle fighters, Red Maple chooses Cypress as their life seed, and Qing Maple chooses Kui Li as their life seed to strengthen their strength and muscle strength respectively. They can cooperate to eat, produce and sell themselves.

"Longcypress Ant King, Mo Lan, are you leaving again?" Sang felt a little bit reluctant, waving his tentacles, pointing to the green maple and the red maple.

"Let them stay with me."

Mo Lan: "That's impossible!"

Long Bai: "They are not small anymore, it's time to learn to manage their own territory."

Green Maple and Red Maple looked at each other, entangled, wanting to stay here to play, but worried about their own lives and planting plants.

Long Bai's tentacles slapped, "Don't dawdle, pack your things and start on the road!"

...

...

...

midsummer.

Cuibai and Xiangbai returned to Xianglan Mountain to manage the territory.

Mo Lan stayed at Kiwi Mountain, taking care of the two little ones, Green Maple and Red Maple, and began to teach them various little skills of managing the territory and managing plants that they did not remember from inheritance.

The dragon cypress stayed in Xianglan Mountain, and the juniper, juniper, and giant cypress molted and evolved once with the help of the auxiliary function of the ruling throne.

The resources required for the growth of intellectualized ants and giant ants are about 50% to 60% of that of the queen ant, and the evolution interval between each stage of the intermediate stage is best kept at more than half a year.Cedars and Cypresses take a while to evolve.

Time to enter midsummer.

Juniper and giant cypress take turns, regularly lead soldier ants out of the nest to patrol, and arrange for soldier ants who guard the life-growing plants to take over.

Cuibai leads the blue soldiers to transport water for irrigation with the ability of the water system every evening.

When it is cool in the morning and evening, juniper and cedar lead the worker ants out to dig water ditches, or clean up the forest and wasteland.

It just rained a couple of days ago.

The dry season is not obvious this year, and there is nothing to do up and down the mountain. The junipers and the other five are quite leisurely, resting in the ant nest most of the time.

Long Bai, the ant king, has nothing to do. In addition to being bored, he made a wooden hang tag of 'Force Honey' that could not be used up in two or three years.

there is nothing to do...

In the restaurant at the entrance of Shannan Ant Nest, Long Bai spent a whole day outlining the map of the 'Southwestern Region of Yunji Continent' on the stone wall, calculating the distance, and finally circled a few blank areas that had not been explored.

Roughly estimated, only about one-fifth of the last area is left.

Long Bai thought about it, and decided to go on the road alone.

……

The thin clouds sweep away the traces, and the scorching sun burns into the sky.

The black carapace absorbs heat exceptionally.

Longbai folded a large number of taro leaves and spread them on the stump ant nest, and also covered himself with two layers.

The ruling throne flew close to the ground, rising and falling with the terrain of the mountains.

Compared with the hot weather, Longbai can't bear the loneliness of being alone and being nothing for a long time.

noon time,

The throne is docked in a secluded canyon.

Long Bai flapped his wings and took off, looked around, grabbed a python and threw it on the ant nest, shook its tentacles, and gave instructions to the worker ants to eat and rest.

He himself came to the cliff, raised his forefoot, and sketched, marked, and calculated silently on the smooth stone wall.

Eat and rest.

At dusk at sunset, the throne of dominance lifted off, and set out on the road after confirming the direction.

At midnight when the moon was in the sky, the ruling throne stopped to rest again.

In the morning when the sky was bright and bright, we set off on the road.

The golden sunlight gradually became vicious, and Long Bai was staring down, preparing to pick some large leaves to cover the ant nest on the stump, his heart suddenly moved, his antennae were vertical, and he was concentrating on sensing.

Force fluctuations!

southeast direction.

——Finally found out!
Long Bai thought for a while, controlled the throne to descend, and found a shady tree to stop.

prey.

Eat and drink well.

Have a good night's sleep.

It didn't take off until sunset, and then flew away in the direction of the original force fluctuation.

In the middle of the night, close to the place of force.

Long Bai searched around, parked the ruling throne on a natural lake, flapped his wings and flew into the sky to investigate.

A constant exploration process.

First, high-altitude reconnaissance to confirm that there are no wild god-sent seeds.

Below is the rolling hills, there is a towering mountain, there are streams.

Lowered the altitude and searched at a gallop, but unfortunately, no force plants were found.

There is a high probability that there is nothing.

Long Bai flew over at low altitude and searched carefully.

Until the noon of the next day, it was basically found out that it was a place of force with a diameter of 5 to 6 kilometers centered on the majestic mountain.

It can be confirmed that there is no force life.

Add another no man's land.

I have found many similar blank spaces, and I am used to it, and Long Bai is not disappointed.

Return to the natural lake, drive the ruling throne to the foot of the towering mountain, and stop in the shade by the stream.

The planks were set up, and instructions were given: blue ants went down to fetch water, humidified and cooled the stump nest; worker ants and soldier ants could go to the ground and walk around the throne.

Long Bai himself wandered leisurely in the mountains and forests, inspecting the mountains, soil, animals and plants.

There are quite a lot of wild fruits here, and a large piece of rather rare 'waterfall strawberry' was found on the mountain, which is very suitable for refining and making ant honey with a 'fresh fruit fragrance' taste.

In autumn, you can come and pick a batch, and find a place to plant in Xianglan Mountain in the coming year. You can consider spending time to optimize seed selection, or use hybridization to obtain high-quality plants with larger and sweeter fruits.

Strawberry is a very fragrant plant variety, it is worth spending time and energy to try.

The "Original Force Honey" cooperating with Bai Wei, if it goes well, can earn more rough stones than a god-given seed every year.

Longbai has the idea to continuously optimize various flavors and aromas, so as to refine and stabilize this business, which requires more types of high-quality fruits.

Continue to search, and soon I was surprised to find a kind of 'Black Grape'.

Grapes are big vines, very popular and delicious fresh fruits. There are many tribes that specialize in cultivating grapes in the Wanzu Continent. Long Bai is very sure that there is no such planting there.

There shouldn't be any in the next-door Wan Guo Continent.

Black grapes are used as life seeds, and the enhancement effect of producing force food is to enhance the ability of water elements, which can be regarded as a medium-sized variety.

Clans who professionally grow grapes, and those Zerg warriors who like grapes, will definitely be willing to spend rough stones to buy seeds.

If it was before, Longbai would consider selling the seeds to the flame spider merchant in exchange for rough stones.

Now it is not bad for that rough stone, it can be cultivated as a unique characteristic of Xianglan Mountain, and it is only sold in the form of 'honey'.

--good!The trip wasn't all fruitless.

Long Bai returned to the river ditch under the mountain.

Prepare to spend two days carefully inspecting this place to find valuable plantings.

When the black grapes are ripe, workers and blue ants can also be arranged to pick them and refine the ant honey.

Shake the tentacles to greet the worker ants and soldier ants walking nearby to return to the nest.

The plank was retracted, the throne of domination was off the ground, and just as they were about to set out to discover the place where Heiti grapes were found, a special chemical ant emerged from the bottom of the river ditch, shaking its tentacles desperately: "My lord, wait for me!"

"you again……"

Long Bai was speechless.

Long Bai recognized this guy.

A specialized chemical ant bred when it first evolved into a high-level ant king. It is very clever and can be lazy at work.From the moment he was born to the present, this guy hasn't done a serious job for a day, and he often seduces other worker ants, leading them to be lazy.

Therefore, Long Bai took it as a negative representative, singled it out, and gave it special care. He specially took it with him for the exhausting work of exploring such sun-dried ants in summer travels.

——Why is this guy running over there?

——How about pretending not to see it and throwing away this burden?
Long Bai hesitated for a moment, feeling a little unbearable, controlled the throne to descend, came to a stop, flapped his wings and took off, flashed past, grabbed the straggling specialized chemical ants and returned, threw them on the cushion of the throne, whipped his tentacles to teach him a lesson, and ordered to return quickly. nest.

But this specialized chemical ant kept releasing innocent pheromones, refused to return to the nest, swayed its antennae, pointed to the bottom of the river ditch, and sent vague messages: dig!dig!dig……

dig your head!

Let you dig a reservoir, you are lazy every day!
Long Bai waved his tentacles, and whipped two more whips on his forehead, controlling the ruling throne to leave the ground slowly.

The specialized chemical ants still refused to return to their nests, jumped off the throne in a panic, and ran down the river ditch.

Halfway through the run, he turned his head and shook the tentacles vigorously to say hello: Your Majesty!dig!
"what?"

Long Bai suddenly realized something was wrong.

Did this guy dig something down there?

Once again, the Throne of Dominion landed and docked, took off with wings, and landed directly in the ditch below.

Beside the stream, under the boulder, and the excavated puddle, a silvery white metal fragment was exposed at one corner.

——The wreckage of the starship!
——It recognizes the extraordinaryness of things, and it is digging this!

Long Bai stared at it carefully, scanned it mentally, walked around behind the huge boulder, pushed hard, and directly pushed the stone with a diameter of more than one meter away.

It's just a flat piece of debris.

With a thickness of less than three centimeters, the partition materials for some unimportant rooms in the starship are worthless.

but,

There's a piece scattered here, does that mean there's a lot lying around?

This place of force is not easy!
This specialized chemical ant also looks a little different. How did it recognize the wreckage of the starship?Certainly not, but realize that this thing has value!
"Come here!" Long Bai waved his tentacles to greet him.

Specialized chemical ants stepped forward.

Long Bai: "Your Majesty gave you an official name: Heiti."

Long Bai: "From today onwards, you have a name, your name is Heiti."

Long Bai set up a plank and waved his tentacles to greet him.

The accompanying 10 large soldier ants and 20 large worker ants came out of the nest one after another and came to the ground.

Long Bai's tentacles pointed to Hei Ti, and gave instructions: "Follow it! Listen to its command."

Long Bai: "Hei Ti, take them and go down the river to look for them."

"Okay—" Hei Ti reluctantly led the team to set off.

Long Bai went in the opposite direction, following the mountain stream and looking for it up the mountain.
