Astral Ants

Chapter 173 The Treasure House of Hanlan Mountain ([-])
After all, the two little guys, Qingfeng and Hongfeng, are only 8th-year-old junior fighters, and Longbai and Molan are not very relieved that they can survive independently.

Long Bai dropped by the Kiwi Mountain to confirm that the two little ones were safe and sound, planted the life-planting plants in time, and passed the fragile stage smoothly.

Long Bai stayed for a day, patrolled around the territory, slaughtered all the large beasts that might threaten the little warrior or the life plant, left them a jar of original force ant honey, and hurried back to Xianglan Mountain.

Carry a batch of worker ants and blue ants, and rush to Hanlan Mountain in a straight line.

It took seven days before and after.

The temporary ant nest has been opened up, the blue ants stay inside the ant nest, and 5 soldier ants guard the entrance of the ant nest.

Dusk at sunset.

Before Hei Ti finished work, he was directing the worker ants to dig the river channel at the foot of the mountain, and 15 soldier ants were also mobilized to help carry the stones.

Beside Heiti, there are also 3 large blue ants, and 10 worker ants, big and small, lie down to rest next to the blue ants.

Long Bai understood at a glance that 45 specialized chemical ants and 45 large worker ants were divided into 10 groups of 9, and they took turns eating and resting uninterruptedly.

The 15 soldier ants were divided into 3 groups, and came forward to help in turn.

This command is more efficient, but it takes a lot of effort.

Heiti, a surreal ant, once he heard that it was beneficial, he worked harder than anyone else, and he would not even bother to move if he was not rewarded.

"Your Majesty—"

The ruling throne docked, and Hei Ti enthusiastically ran forward to greet him.

"I brought another 20 large soldier ants over this trip, and you arrange to strengthen the defense of the ant nest."

"Understood! Your Majesty."

"It's almost time, go back to the nest early to rest."

"It's dark and work is over!"

Long Bai didn't say much, and put down the board.

Heiti helped to straighten it up, waved its tentacles, and called the worker ants and soldier ants on the throne to come down and work together.

Long Bai also brought the blue ants over this time, stayed for a rest overnight, and spent a day going into the forest alone to hunt large animals, storing enough food for the working ant colony.

Heiti stayed behind and directed the excavation.

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain and packed his bags.

It was still late spring.

This autumn, the fruit of the god-given rice rice is ripe.So, first take 1000 rough stones and 10 cans of original food, set off lightly, and head straight to Baifan Mountain.

After finishing the deal with Baifan and Wufan, he rushed west to Ghost Fan Mountain to complete the deal with Ghost Fan and Raspberry.

To the north, pass by Nansuanzao Mountain, inspect a circle, and take care of the seeds bestowed by the gods of Nansuanzao and the planted vines.

Going north again, passing by Heilian Lake, replenishing food reserves for the ant colony there.

Make a detour, return to Xianglan Mountain, rest for two days, then set off with 3000 rough stones and 4 cans of original force ant honey, sail with overload, and wander to Feiguang Mountain to complete the harvest of the god-given scarlet fruit.

Things will be transported back to Xianglan Mountain, and the business transactions will be completed in late spring and early summer this year.

The temperature is hot day by day.

The god-given seed bred by Cuihua Hanlan entered the peak season of growth and development, and Mo Lan stood by her side closely to prevent any accidents.

The three god-given seeds of Guoxianglan, Zhanlan and Beiqin have blossomed and fruited successively.

The Zhanlan Reservoir at the foot of the mountain was sown in early spring this year, and the black lotus seed bred by Molan grew rapidly, and 3 buds emerged before summer.

The high-level black lotus seeds can be harvested this year, and the evolution of the black lotus can be accelerated a lot.

……

Long Bai rested on the mountain for five days, then set off again with 30 specialized blue soldiers and some worker ants.

Not in a hurry.

First, I went to Kiwi Mountain, visited the two little ones, Green Maple and Red Maple, took them to work, and taught them various tips for managing the territory. They stayed for four or five days.

The sky was cloudy and the sun was blazing.

It was almost the midsummer dry season, so we set off, crossed the vast mountains, and headed for Hanlan Mountain.

half afternoon.

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, Hei Ti took the ant colony to enjoy the shade in the shade.

The ruling throne descended slowly, hovering above the muddy swamp.

The river diversion project has been completed.

Around the swamp mire, the planned 8 drainage ditches have been initially dug.

The weeds have been cleared away, and the silt has dried up and cracked under the scorching sun.

"Your Majesty!"

Hei Ti ran over with the ant colony.

"Hei Ti, well done!"

Long Bai praised and put down the board.

Heiti quickly ran forward to respond, adjusted his position, waved his tentacles, and greeted the blue soldiers, worker ants, and blue ants on the throne to come down to the ground, and asked at the same time:
"My lord, can we dig?"

"can!"

Long Bai added: "Excavate at sunset every day, and shovel off a layer of surface clay. The next day, after the scorching sun burns and dries up a layer, lead the worker ants to shovel it away at dusk."

"One day at a time, layer by layer. I also brought 30 specialized blue soldiers over to work on weekdays, and arranged them to guard the side. In case any worker ants get stuck in the mud, rescue them in time. When it rains, direct the blue ants to drain water with the ability of the water system."

"……Understood."

Heiti didn't understand very well, but he didn't ask any more questions. He called the new blue soldiers and worker ants to rest in the woods, and guided the new blue soldiers and worker ants to familiarize themselves with the way to the ant nest on the mountain.

Long Bai manipulated the throne of control to stop in the woods, randomly selected, and brought 10 specialized chemical ants to the center of the quagmire, found the position facing the treasure house, tapped the tentacles, and issued a long series of complicated instructions.

Ten specialized chemical ants closed their molars and formed a flat shovel shape. They buried their heads and shoveled into the mud layer, dug up a large piece of clay, and turned around to carry it away.

Long Bai led the way, transported to the designated place, and continued to issue instructions.

The specialized chemical ant opened its jaws, and a large soldier ant stepped forward, using its curved and slender sickle-like molars to help scrape off the clay stuck to the specialized chemical ant's molars.

——The efficiency is not bad!
——Heiti instructs the worker ants to dig, and I am here to instruct the soldier ants to scrape.

Long Bai silently evaluated, calculated, shook the tentacles, and beckoned the 4 specialized chemical ants to follow, came to the center of the quagmire, and continued the test.

After finishing his work, Hei Ti went down the mountain and followed to watch.

The worker ants ran back and forth more than ten times, digging a deep pit with a diameter of more than 3 meters and a depth of nearly 1 meter.

Further down, there is soft mud that can trap ants.

At this moment, Hei Ti understood Long Bai's arrangement, and asked puzzledly, "My lord, is there such mud all over the place?"

Long Bai: "At least four or five meters below the ground is filled with thin mud."

Hei Ti, "My lord, why is this happening? Is it because of the treasure house?"

Long Bai raised his head, thought about his words, and said: "The original energy metal used in the starship treasury is super strong and relatively heavy. It fell from the sky and hit this place, creating a huge deep hole."

"Look at the nearby landforms, they are all hills, and if you observe carefully, you will find that they are all clay with high viscosity. Every year during the rainy season, especially during heavy rains, the clay on the mountains turns into mud, which flows down the river and is poured into the treasure house. The potholes have formed the quagmire here over the years."

"There are highlands all around, and the location where the treasure house fell is low. In the rainy season, not only the river on the ground pours water here, but also the underground water continuously seeps into the pit in places that cannot be seen underground."

Long Bai: "Under the joint action of many factors, it has created such a mud pit that is quite difficult to deal with."

While Long Bai was talking, he watched Heiti's reaction.

Probably because of eating black lotus seeds, Hei Ti's mind is very flexible. Judging from its appearance, he understood about seven or eight points.

"...Understood." Hei Ti replied thoughtfully.

Sure enough, he is a guy with a strong ability to learn and understand!Long Bai waved his tentacles and said:

"It's almost time to start working. Hei Ti, you are in charge of directing the digging. The worker ants will get stuck in the mud. Be careful to leave a way out and dig backwards from east to west."

"I understand!" Hei Ti agreed with a clang as if he had suddenly figured it out, and waved his tentacles vigorously to issue instructions to the ant colony in the forest.

The ant colony is dispatched and starts working.
