Astral Ants

Chapter 186 Berberis
The most powerful race of the natural pantheon is the termites, they feed on the branches, leaves and trunks of plants, and the size of the kingdom is almost not limited by food.

Termites only need a small territory to thrive.

In the inheritance memory, there are more than 3000 species of termites recorded, which can be roughly divided into three categories according to their feeding methods:

The first category eats fermented rotten wood.

The second type uses plant branches, leaves and trunks to cultivate mycelium and eat mycelium.

The third category, adult worker ants and soldier ants eat dead wood, and nymphs eat mycelia.

Termites are also divided into soldier ants and worker ants. They are the race that is best at farming, and they are not weak in marching and fighting.

The larvae hatched from the eggs of termites are called 'nymphs', which grow in different ages and molt.

If the ants are small in size, they can serve as ant nest logistics or some fine farming work.

When the kingdom needs it, the older nymphs can be differentiated into fighting soldiers or working workers as needed.

The innate ability of the termite race is 'lifespan', which is born with the fruit of the divine force.

Generally, high-level Zerg and Orc warriors have a lifespan of about 100 years.And senior termite kings and queens can live up to 200 years.

The average mountain master-level Zerg and Orc warriors have a lifespan of about 200 years.The life span of the king and queen of the mountain master termites is as long as 300 to 400 years.

At the same time of longevity, it can also awaken the natural ability of earth or wood elements.

A nearly omnipotent race.

God of nature is fair again, leaving a fatal flaw for the race of termites.

The establishment of a termite kingdom requires the birth of a male king ant and a female queen ant at the same time, and they have to look at each other and walk together in love, and the food intake of the force must be basically consistent.

The eggs produced by the ant clan and bee clan at the life level of the original force are replicas of themselves, while the eggs produced by termites are the life crystallization of the ant king and queen ant.

……

There is actually a termite kingdom suspected of being a lord in the land of force here!
In the Wanguo Continent, ants and termites are natural enemies and feuds. I don't know if they can turn hostility into friendship in Yunji Continent.

"Long Bai, what do you think is the relationship between that beetle warrior and the termite kingdom? Are you cooperating?"

"should be."

"Then there should be other fighters."

"there must be."

"Talk to that beetle warrior at night?"

"Inquire about the termite kingdom."

"Perhaps a friendly ant king. If we can establish a trade relationship with this place, we will be rich."

"No! Termites are mostly greedy, tyrannical, and evil."

Long Bai and Mo Lan retreated along the way they came, returned to the ruling throne, and rested for a day.

Depart late at night.

After crossing mountains and ridges, he came to the peak where the beetle warrior lived during the day.

"Mo Lan, you lie in ambush at the entrance of the cave. I'll try to communicate. If the other party reacts violently, you can control it in time."

"it is good!"

Mo Lan activates her innate ability, the color of the carapace changes, blends with the surrounding environment, restrains her breath, and disappears.

Long Bai's mental power scanned repeatedly to confirm that it was well hidden, and then he went down the mountain.

Soon came to the slope of the mountainside, an oblate cave entrance with a width of about half a meter.

Taking a closer look, Long Bai recognized it as a 1st instar advanced barley bug warrior.

"Hi-"

Long Bai's spiritual power calls.

In the cave, the beetle warrior who was resting on his stomach woke up in a start. In the darkness, his two compound eyes suddenly lit up, shocking him inexplicably.

"You are--"

"My name is Dragon Cypress Ant King, I come from another place."

"other places?"

"It's other places like this, where the force is abundant."

"You are the Ant King..."

The Beetle Warrior's reaction was somewhat unexpected, pleasantly surprised, ecstatic, and very enthusiastic, and quickly ran out of the cave.

The other party reacted fiercely, but... Mo Lan who was hiding at the entrance of the cave didn't know how to deal with it, "Long Bai, do you want to control it?"

"……no need."

The beetle warrior turned around sharply, and saw Mo Lan's figure gradually emerging.

"Hello, my name is Mo Lan." Mo Lan greeted the other party generously.

"It's my partner. Orchid Mantis Warrior." Long Bai briefly explained and introduced.

Long Bai asked again: "What's your name?"

The beetle warrior calmed down, turned around slowly, stepped back vigilantly, and stood in a triangle with Long Bai and Mo Lan.

"My name is Wuye."

Wuye raised her paw and pointed to the Wuye Dijin Mingzhong that covered the entire hillside in the distance.

There are many questions on both sides.

Wuye was the first to ask: "Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, where are you from? How did you get here? What are you doing here?"

Long Bai: "We came from Xianglan Mountain, which is far away from here. We found this place by accident. As for how we got here...it doesn't seem to matter."

Long Bai raised his front foot, pointed to a [-]-[-] meter tall walnut tree Mingzhong in the left front of the cave, and asked:
"Wuye, your arbor life is so tall, so you shouldn't be too young, right? Why are you only a senior fighter at age 1? Are there no other fighters of the same clan here?"

"I am 28 years old, and I have many fighters of the same race, but..."

Wuye suddenly seemed worried, thinking, and asked cleverly: "Did you find this place by accident?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Mo Lan was puzzled and said, "28 years old? Since you have many people of the same race, why are you only 1 year old?"

Wuye: "Because we all made a deal with the Berber Ant King."

Mo Lan asked one after another: "White barberry? The name of the seed bestowed by the gods? What kind of plant? Some kind of barberry tree?"

Wuye: "Yes. Inheritance of the Berberis tree that is not recorded in the memory. The Berberis ant king owns a tree bestowed by the gods. The flower and fruit cycle is 16 years, and each time it only produces 9 snow-white fruits. Enhanced The effect is to add 50 years to lifespan..."

Mo Lan: "Shenpin!"

Long Bai: "Longevity class!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan looked at each other in shock.

Some of the plants that did not increase the lifespan in the inheritance memory were cultivated and mutated by the Zerg.

Berberis?It must be some kind of mutant barberry tree.

Red foxes really need to extend their lifespan!Mo Lan asked anxiously: "The flower and fruit cycle is 16 years? Then when will it mature next time? Can Long Cypress and I also trade with the Berberis ant king?"

"Don't! Don't!"

Wuye hastily stopped her and said, "You must not be discovered by the white-berry ant king. You are only at an advanced level, right? Once discovered by its ant colony, you will die."

"Why?" Mo Lan: "I have a friend who really needs to prolong his life! Long Cypress and I have 5 gods..."

"Mo Lan!" Long Bai interrupted with a stern voice, "It's not that simple. Let Wu Ye finish first."

Wuye looked at Mo Lan, then at Long Bai, turned around and said to Long Bai:
"The fruit produced by the god-given seed of Baibo can only be eaten at most 3 pieces. The first one increases the life span by 50 years, the second one increases the life span by 30 years, and the third one increases the lifespan by 10 years. It will be useless to eat more."

"The White Berber Ant King has had enough, it doesn't need it, so it will be traded to us forcibly."

"Berberis ant king provides resources for us to evolve advanced fighters, and provides 3 Berberis berries, so that we can have a lifespan close to that of mountain master fighters. The condition of the transaction is that after we evolve advanced fighters, all life plants in the territory All the output has to be handed over to the white-berry ant king."

Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

Long Bai: "All the output of the Life Seed has been taken away by the White Berber Ant King, so your evolution has stagnated at the first age."

Wuye: "Yes."

Mo Lan: "This is not a deal, this is robbery!"

Wuye: "That's right."

This is more than just robbery, they were imprisoned and raised.

Mo Lan was filled with righteous indignation, but after thinking about it, she was discouraged again, and sighed: "The White Berber Ant King is a lord."

Wuye: "Lord-level ant king and queen."

Long Cypress: "The White Berber Ant King seized your force food and evolved to the lord level."

Wuye: "Yes."

Long Bai: "How many fighters are there? What race are they?"

Wuye: "All of them are barley bug fighters. There are 47 of them in total. The white beer ant king deliberately trained us. Because we are weak and easy to control."

Long Bai asked: "Are they all high-level?"

Wuye: "The force food produced by the advanced fighter's territory cannot satisfy the growth and evolution of the lord level, so it also allows some fighters to continue to evolve and grow."
