Astral Ants

Chapter 160 From the gaze of the white willow

Bailiu found a good position on the mountain, the best angle, and could clearly see every move of the worker ants on the hillside.

I just want to see how lazy you are, and tell Long Bai later, Long Bai will clean up you.

The worker ants are not all idle. They still work for a while when they go out early every morning.

Then there are walks and sunbathing.

day to day.

After seven, eighty or ninety days,

The weeds around the entrance of the temporary ant nest were cleaned up.

A specialized chemical ant named Heiti suddenly changed his normal routine, leading the ant colony out of the nest, and lined up to explore the top of the hillside.

10 large soldier ants, 5 in a team, divided into two small teams, walked in front, crossed and marched.

6 specialized blue ants walk in the middle.

Thirty large worker ants follow behind.

Hei Ti walked last.

They set off early in the morning and traveled through the mountains and forests.

In the afternoon, I turned up the ridge and walked along the ridge.

In the evening, return to the same road and look for food along the way.

Bai Liu was puzzled when he watched it, but when he looked at it the next day, he suddenly realized.

In the early morning of the next day, Hei Ti led the ant colony out of the nest, and the leader walked ahead, familiar with the road, through the forest, up the ridge, found a rock on the mountain, and lay down on the rock to bask in the sun.

Get together in twos and threes, facing the woodland and the lake, pointing their tentacles, as if admiring the scenery down the mountain.

They went down the mountain at dusk, looking for food along the way.

For a whole day, the ant colony did nothing at all.

Bai Liu was extremely angry and annoyed, and continued to observe secretly.

After many days, these guys really stopped working at all, and went to the mountains every day to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery.

The god of nature couldn't stand it anymore.

It rained heavily.

Heavy rain turns to light rain.

The ant colony is trapped in the ant nest and cannot go out.

Bai Liu was secretly happy, these lazy guys were finally punished.

Long Bai obviously left a lot of blue ants, but they only hunted just enough food every day.

There is no food in stock, and now I can only starve.

The light rain turned to cloudy and rainy, and it continued.

It rained for three days straight.

The ant colony also starved for three days.

While Bai Liu was happy, she began to worry again: Will she starve to death?

After hesitating for a long time, he took off, soared, grabbed a rabbit and threw it at the entrance of the ant nest.

After thinking about it, I couldn't get angry.

These lazy ants should be hungry.

Bai Liu picked up the rabbits, tore them in half, leaving only half, let them starve, as long as they don't starve to death.

But, I thought about it again.

Is half a rabbit enough to eat?One is not enough, right?
Bai Liu controlled the circle and threw the half-drawn rabbit back.

Stopped on the rocks on the top of the mountain in the rain, and continued to observe.

Two soldier ants came out of the nest and dragged the dead rabbit into the cave.

After a while, the worker ants threw out the bones that had been gnawed clean.

It was a gloomy day with constant rain.

the next day,
Bai Liu caught a pheasant and threw it at the entrance of the ant nest.

On the third day,
Bai Liu caught a big herring from the lake, ate half of it himself, and threw the remaining half to the ants.

On the fourth day, it was sunny after the rain.

As always, Hei Ti led the ant colony out of the nest, but they obviously haven't eaten enough these days, they hunted all the way and didn't go up the mountain until noon.

They obviously didn't learn any lessons from the hunger in the past few days, and they still didn't know how to hunt more and store food.

They are the same as before, lying on the rocks to watch the scenery and enjoy the sunshine.

——Next time, I will definitely watch you starve to death!
Bai Liu was lying on a rock in the distance, holding a metal can, dipping her forefoot in ant honey and licking it, while staring at the ant colony coldly.

Heiti keenly noticed the unfriendly gaze in the distance, thought and thought, slowly got up, greeted 5 soldier ants to escort him, and walked slowly towards Bailiu.

Hei Ti walked to the foot of the rock, raised his head, and looked at Bai Liu.

He tried to climb up the rock again, leaned forward, pulled the metal can, and looked inside.

Bai Liu was puzzled.

Seeing that Bai Liu didn't stop him, Heiti tried to dip the ant honey with his tentacles, held it with his front feet, and tasted it.

--tasty.

Heiti shook his tentacles in praise, turned his head and walked down the rock, and left leisurely.

Bai Liu was surrounded in place.

——It snatched my Force food?

——Isn’t it a specialized chemical ant?
——Can worker ants eat Force food?

——Then can I teach Long Bai a lesson?
——If it dares to snatch it again, I will catch it and throw it into the lake.

Bai Liu thought silently and rested overnight on the boulder on the top of the mountain.

The next day, early in the morning,

Hei Ti led the ant colony out of the nest, but instead of going up the hill, he formed an exploration formation and walked down the hillside.

The ant colony walked down the hillside, across the forest, and came to the lake.

They found a few trees of the white willow and began to weed and dig the soil.

After brewing for a whole night, Bai Liu, who secretly decided to teach Hei Ti a lesson, felt that he was suddenly thrown into the air.

Bai Liu is not a diligent fly either.

In other words, because the dragonfly's wings cannot be folded, it is inconvenient to move in the forest. The molars and six-leg structure are all born for fighting, and they are not good at taking care of them.

It was fishing last winter, and Long Bai directed the worker ants to help clean it up.

After a year, the life and plant life of the white willow on land was a complete mess.

——Will they accidentally pull out my life seed?
Bai Liu was worried about her own life seeds, and hovered and landed on the lakeside, guarding the blood orange life seeds that had just been planted this spring.

Hei Ti stared at Bai Liu for a while, then turned around and continued working with the worker ants.

At present, there are only 14 living species of white willow, of which 6 are living in water and 8 are living species on land.

Two white willow trees were planted and initially grew to a large scale.Others are half-sized trees, 2 maple poplar, 1 chestnut tree, 1 silver cypress tree, 1 black emperor peach tree, and 1 blood orange trees.

There are not many species of life, and the scale is not large.

In the middle of the afternoon, the weeds were cleaned up and the soil was turned over again.

Heiti led the ant colony back to the hillside, lifted the slabs of the biogas pool, fetched water from bamboo tubes, and sent them down the mountain to water.

Bai Liu looked at it for a while, then took off with fluttering wings, hovered over the lake, sank suddenly, and flew past the lake, a grass carp was caught and thrown under the white willow tree on the bank.

Bai Liu disappeared into the forest in a flash, and soon flew back with a two to three meter long python.

"Thank you for your help!"

"This is food for you!"

Bai Liu tries to communicate with Hei Ti.

However, Heiti stared blankly at Bailiu without responding. He froze for a while, waved his tentacles, directed the worker ants to divide the food, and led the ant colony to eat happily.

Bai Liu thought for a while, picked up the metal jar containing the ant honey, and called out, "Hei Ti! Hei Ti!"

Just a few meters away, after calling for a while with mental power, Hei Ti finally sensed it and looked up.

"Heiti, Ant Honey!"

Bai Liu's tentacles tapped the mouth of the can.

This time, Heiti understood it all at once, trotted forward, pulled the metal can, took a look, felt the tentacles sticking to it, and tasted it.

Turned away again.

——Specialized chemical ants cannot evolve.

——But Hei Ti is obviously different, it can eat Force food.

——But it's useless to eat Force food, because it can't evolve.

——Why can cypresses and cedars evolve, but worker ants cannot?
Bai Liu thought seriously.

Inheriting the memory only said that the 'Zuo Wang' bred by the queen ant and queen bee can evolve in the footsteps of the king, up to the same level as the king, while worker ants and worker bees cannot evolve.

But the inheritance memory does not explain why.

Bai Liu thought and thought, suddenly a flash of inspiration:
——Cedar and Cedar are smart!Heiti is stupid!
——Black lotus seeds strengthen the brain, with the effect of making insects smarter.

There are 3 black lotus trees in Bailiu, 2 of which are sold to Longbai, and 1 is kept for personal use. This year's output has not had time to eat.

Thinking of it, Bai Liu immediately took off and flew towards the cave where he lived.
