Astral Ants

Chapter 163 King, smoke it!
In the ant kingdom, there are insurmountable class divisions.

Strictly speaking, there are only two classes: queen ants and common ants
Intellectualized ants and giant ants are the innate abilities endowed by the nature gods to the ant race after the evolution of force life.

Therefore, in the ant country at the life level of the force, there are three distinct classes of ant kings, commander ants (Zuo Wang), and ordinary ants.

The ant king has unlimited evolution potential and is the absolute ruler of the kingdom.

Commander ants only have limited evolutionary potential and can only command corresponding types of common ants.

Ordinary ants cannot evolve, obey orders, obey commands, and spend a short life in a hurry.

Classes cannot be crossed, this is the law set by the natural gods.

Long Bai suspected that he was in a trance and misheard.

"evolution?"

"evolution."

"Hei Ti?"

"Heiti."

"Did you feed it food from the Force?"

"Ordinary force food won't work, but black lotus seeds."

"Black lotus seeds?!"

Long Bai controlled the throne to accelerate and landed directly on the ant nest on the hillside.

Hei Ti is commanding the worker ants in a dignified manner, cleaning up the weeds on the hillside.

But looking at the progress of the work, he knew that during his absence, this guy didn't work hard for even a day.

Heiti himself was also busy, pretending to be something like that, raised his head as if he had just noticed that the ruling throne had landed, and then trotted forward in a panic.

"Your Majesty—"

"I'm working!"

"I didn't notice you coming."

Hei Ti waved its tentacles, clearly expressing a series of information.

Its size plummeted from its original 90 centimeters to about 80 centimeters.

The body size has not increased but decreased, but the texture of the carapace has been significantly improved.

Careful observation shows that the antennae have changed the most, from the original 6 knots to 7 knots, making them more flexible.

There was also a slight change in the force fluctuations on his body. The breath fluctuations of the advanced specialized chemical ants were mixed with a trace of force fluctuations mixed with intelligent ants and giant ants.

"Heiti, have you evolved?" Long Bai asked.

"Moulting and evolution." Hei Ti replied nervously.

"Heiti? Your Majesty, did you name it?" Cuibai next to Longbai waved its tentacles and asked Heiti:
"Are you that guy who always leads the team to be lazy?"

Hei Ti: "...not me."

Long Bai: "Don't argue, it's you!"

Heiti: "..."

Cui Bai: "Your Majesty, smoke it!"

Long Bai waved his tentacles, signaling Cui Bai to be quiet, staring at Hei Ti, thinking about it, and asked: "Hei Ti, are you using black lotus seeds to evolve?"

Hei Ti: "Yes."

Long Bai: "What about ordinary Force food?"

Hei Ti: "Before evolution, it cannot be eaten. After evolution... it can be eaten, but most of it escapes, and only a small part can be absorbed."

"Oh--"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles lightly, and roughly understood.

Heiti is currently undergoing moulting evolution, from a specialized chemical ant to a commanding ant that has both the functions of an intelligent ant and a giant ant.

Many doubts arose in Long Bai's mind.

What kind of enhancement effect does the black lotus seed have?
Is the black lotus seed only effective for this special guy, Hei Ti?Or is it effective for all specialized chemical ants?

It should only be effective for special existences like Hei Ti.

Heiti is special. It is smarter than other specialized chemical ants, and it can command worker ants, soldier ants, blue ants, and blue soldiers like an ant king. This is also its most distinctive feature.

So, the special existence of Hei Ti, is it an example of the birth of a mutation with a small probability?Or can it be cultivated in a specific way?
Regarding this question, Longbai has already begun to try. There are 7 specialized chemical ant larvae in the ant nest of Xianglan Mountain. Longbai used pheromones to stimulate the differentiation of intelligent chemical ants and giant soldier ants.

In the process of continuous cultivation and careful observation, the answer will be available in the next spring.

The command ability of intelligent ants and giant ants has inherent limitations. If this limitation can be broken, then it will play a huge role in opening up wasteland at other origin points in the future.

For example, in the next land reclamation of South Suanzao Mountain, it is necessary to open a large branch nest and send an ant colony to garrison all year round. It is necessary to send an intelligent chemical ant to lead the worker ants to take charge of the territory management, and to send a giant soldier ant to lead the soldier ants to be responsible for the management of the territory. Security and hunting.

Two commander ants need to be sent over, so that the ant king, Long Bai, can not worry about it at all.

But if it is replaced by a 'multifunctional command ant' like Hei Ti, then only one is enough.

Recently, Long Bai has been worrying about not having enough command ants and not being able to afford so many resources to cultivate them.

"Bai Liu, you don't produce much of the Black Lotus Life Seed, do you?"

"Yes."

"You mentioned the rest to Hei?"

"Give it all."

"……Understood."

Long Bai put down the board and gave an order.

"Cuibai, you lead the ant colony, rest here overnight in a temporary ant nest, and start fishing tomorrow morning."

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

Cuibai agreed, and directed the ant colony to march to the ground.

"Heiti, you leave it to Cuibai to help, direct the worker ants to divide the hunted, and direct the blue ants to refine and store."

"Okay. Your Majesty." Hei Ti agreed.

Long Bai: "If you are lazy again, Cui Bai will teach you a lesson."

Hei Ti: "I'm not lazy..."

……

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain overnight.

There are still 54 black lotus seeds left in the warehouse where the ant nest stores the original force food, and they are reserved for Molan. He is busy in Hanlan Mountain, so he kept them.

Shannan Restaurant.

Long Bai took out the thing, peeled a piece and ate it first, calmed down and sensed it carefully.

The original force goes to the brain, and the strengthening effect is in the brain, but it is completely impossible to distinguish the type of strengthening effect.

—— There used to be Zerg tribes living in Heilian Lake, and they cultivated and bred high-quality tree species such as black lotus, white willow, and maple poplar.Among them, the black lotus is the most precious, and it is most likely to exist at the same level as the 'Liufengshan Liudaomu'.

——The special strengthening effect of the black lotus seeds, coupled with the special mutation of the black tea, the combination of the two special conditions broke through the shackles of the laws of the natural gods?
——There are also Liudaozi and Guifanzi in the warehouse. These two kinds of force food work on the brain. One strengthens the soul and the other strengthens the spiritual power. Is it useful for Heiti's evolution?

After thinking for a long time, Long Bai first entered the incubation room, supplemented the pheromones that stimulated the development of the 7 specialized chemical ant larvae that were cultivated individually, and released a little bit of pheromone that stimulated the development of 'giant ants' and 'intelligent ants'.

Watch for changes.

At present, there is no obvious difference from the larvae of ordinary specialized chemical ants.

Watch it later, but don't expect too much.

Long Bai entered the warehouse, took out all the black lotus seeds, took 20 Liudaozi and ghost fans each, packed them into a bag, and put them on the throne of domination.

Then mobilize 20 specialized blue soldiers, 20 large blue soldiers, 50 specialized blue ants, and 30 large blue ants, and set off for Black Lotus Lake.

……

Cuibai works hard, commanding 60 specialized blue soldiers and 60 large blue soldiers to hunt fish schools on the lake.

This guy, Hei Ti, commanded two medium-sized worker ants to go up the tree, and was carefully pruning fruit branches for the arbor of the white willow.

Bai Liu stood aside, watching with fear and anxiety.

"Longcypress Ant King——"

Bai Liu came up to meet her, and explained nervously: "The fish haven't been replenished yet, so Hei Ti will help me trim the fruit branches by the way."

"...I know." Long Bai: "Bai Liu, you can just give Hei a few black lotus seeds as a reward."

"Okay! I'll give it to Hei Ti!"

Bai Liu happily agreed, followed by two difficult volley rolls, flapped her wings, lifted off vertically, flew to the distant lake, and circled above Cui Bai's head.

Cui Bai looked at the shore, saw the ruling throne, and immediately ordered the blue soldiers to line up and run to the shore.

Long Bai put down the plank and gave instructions, and the blue soldiers and blue ants he brought this time lined up and walked to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Hei Ti nervously stepped forward and greeted Long Bai.

"Working on Xianglan Mountain, you have never been so diligent!" Long Bai reprimanded angrily, shaking his tentacles to signal to come forward.

Scanning and checking mental power, he asked: "You have a cultivation period for molt evolution, right?"

Heiti was at a loss, "—I don't know."

Long Bai picked up the spider silk bag, opened it, picked up a Liudaozi, peeled the shell, and peeled out the nut inside, after thinking about it, cut it with the tip of his toe, separated a third of it, and handed it to Heiti, saying :

"Try some of this."

Heiti: "..."

Hei Ti did so.

Longbai's mental power covered Heiti's whole body, and he carefully sensed the fluctuation of the original force.

Soon, imperceptible wisps of original energy escaped from Heiti's forehead.

Long Bai: "How much original energy has been absorbed?"

Hei Ti: "Less than one-fifth."

Long Bai: "It can absorb food for strength, but the efficiency is extremely low."

Hei Ti: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Long Bai tapped the tentacles, peeled another ghost fan, still only took one-third of the nuts, and handed it to Hei Ti to try.

Still the same.

Finally, Long Bai peeled off a black lotus seed and handed it to Hei Ti to eat.

The effect of the black lotus seed is remarkable, only a very small amount of original energy is dissipated, and most of it is absorbed by Heiti's brain.

There is no need to try more, only black lotus seeds have a significant effect on the evolution of black ti!

"Your Majesty?"

Cuibai came ashore and greeted with doubts.

It's not very fond of Hei Ti.

The five commander ants in Xianglan Mountain don't like Hei Ti, who can trick other ants into slacking off.

"It's okay. Cuibai, you should pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Come here and rest for a while."

Long Bai handed the spider silk bag to Cui Bai, and said, "Give Hei all the black lotus seeds, one a day, eat slowly. Liudaozi and Ghost Fan, you and Bai Liu will be separated."
