Astral Ants

Chapter 21 Handed down Creation: Ice and Fire Make Kettle

Mo Lan is not at home, she lives in a cave, and her spider silk bag is not there either, so she must have gone looking for the god-given seed in the forest.

3 specialized soldier ants and 2 large soldier ants and 10 small soldier ants guarded the garden where Guoxianglan took root.

As soon as Long Bai approached, he immediately felt violent anger, menacing and warning mental fluctuations.

This guy gave birth to an independent consciousness, and the territorial consciousness of plants is stronger than that of any animal.It is also very smart, knowing that soldier ants are not independent individuals, and is indifferent to the existence of soldier ants. It recognizes Long cypress as the ant king, and constantly releases warning and threatening mental power to Long cypress.

The Throne of Dominion floated at low altitude, and Long Bai retreated a little distance under control to observe carefully.

The capsule has grown to the size of a longan. Under the warm sun in early winter, it sways slightly against the breeze, and the whole body is green and shiny, full of vitality.

The fruit is initially grown, but there is still a long time before the ripening period.

This is the case with life-planting plants. As the Zerg warriors grow, they are also evolving simultaneously. The quality and quantity of the force food produced will increase, but the flowering and fruiting cycle will be extended accordingly.

The range of changes in the God-given Seed is particularly obvious.

After careful observation, Long Bai came to a rough judgment: the ripening period of the orchid seeds probably extended to the severe winter season.

Mental strength scanned the ground and looked at the nearest branch. After a year of growth, the oval-shaped underground corm has a length and diameter of more than 10 centimeters.

"It's growing well!"

"According to the law, the flowering period in the coming year should move forward, turning into spring flowering. If the management is not good, the fruit period will be postponed. If the management is good, the fruit ripening period will still be in the middle of winter..."

Long Bai was thinking, and noticed that there were traces of fresh watering under the plants.

The reigning throne rises, overlooking from a height.

There is little rain in winter, and the stream in the distance has stopped flowing.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne and came to the biogas pool under the cliff. The bamboo tubes that fell on the slate cover were still stained with fresh water.

Early morning bugs are not at home.

Before leaving, I watered the garden and sent the food to the ant nest.

That guy Mo Lan got up to work before dawn again.

"If you're searching for a god-given seed, it must have traveled a long way south or north past the divine power barrier."

"Oh! It seems that today is not a rest..."

Long Bai originally planned to chat with Mo Lan for a while, go for a walk in the mountains and forests, and relax.

Since it is not there, it can only go back to work in its own territory.

However, don't rush to dig biogas pools and pools, first direct the ant colony to open up the ant nest.

At present, there are 46 specialized chemical ants, 24 large and small larvae in the hatching room, and 4 ant eggs waiting to hatch.

Intermittently, the ant nest has been expanded several times, and has changed from parallel forward to vertical downward, dug to a depth of three meters, three-dimensional tree shape, channel diameter expanded to 8 cm, and nest chamber width expanded to about 30 cm.

It is cold in winter, and then dig two meters deep to keep warm and ensure the hatching of ant eggs and the growth of larvae.

Looking back, the Throne of Domination can produce 3 ant eggs each time, and the number of ant colonies is increasing rapidly, and a wider ant nest is needed to accommodate it, so the expansion work should be done in advance.

……

Day and night and day after day.

Gray sky, icy drizzle.

Affected by the temperature, the worker ants are exhausted one by one.

They called it a day and went back to the nest early.

Long Bai was resting, and the familiar mental fluctuations covered him.

Mo Lan, who hadn't seen her for two days, was standing at the entrance of the cave with a bulging spider silk bag, quietly scanning the situation inside the ant nest.

On the ruling throne, Long Bai moved his body.

"Long Bai?"

"Long Bai! Don't sleep! Get up!"

Mo Lan's thoughts called.

Emotional, uncontrollable excitement.

Long Bai flapped his wings slightly, landed lightly, and trotted to the entrance of the cave.

"Mo Lan, where did you go?"

Before waiting for an answer, Long Bai's thoughts flicked, his tentacles flicked, and he said, "You won't find the seed bestowed by God again, will you?"

"no!"

Mo Lan first denied Long Bai's unrealistic guess, raised her left front foot and pointed lightly, and said, "I'm going to the south..."

"So you found a new orchid?"

Long Bai felt strange, Taizhuo went to pull the spider silk bag.

"Neither!"

Mo Lan rushed to open the bag and said:

"But I found something good!"

"Creation of extraterrestrial civilization!"

"Long Bai, you have a lot of knowledge, please help me take a look."

Long Bai: "???"

Mo Lan took out a cylindrical metal object with a diameter of six to seven centimeters and a width of just over twenty centimeters from the bag.

"Long Bai, what is this? Do you know him?"

"Ice and fire make a kettle!"

Long Bai recognized it at a glance.

Due to the long time and improper preservation, the surface coating peeled off, exposing the underlying metal.

There is still coating residue on the mouth of the pot, which should have been clean and beautiful white, with blue water wave patterns and light blue cloud patterns.

Seeing that Long Bai knew each other, Mo Lan was even happier, and asked after Xiji: "Is there any use? How should I use it?"

"There are two uses, one is to make water from the original energy; the other is to make pure hot water or ice."

"It's also very simple to use... Mo Lan, you can straighten it up and see if it's still usable."

Mo Lan did as she said.

The pot is more than 20 cm high.

Long Bai was just over ten centimeters old and tried to climb up, but the metal was smooth and he couldn't climb up.

"Molan, wait a moment."

Long Bai turned around and ran back to the nest room, and ran out with the ruling throne.

Standing on the throne, the control is flush with the lid of the 'Ice and Fire Kettle', and both claws protrude out at the same time, pressing down on the inside of the buckle.

click!
There was a crisp metal sound, and the lid of the pot flicked up.

"The original energy metal produced by human civilization will never decay! The original energy metal creation of human civilization can be passed on from generation to generation. There is such a 'ice and fire kettle' in Luoli. According to it, when it is passed on to it, it is already the first time. Eight generations of insects."

Long Bai admired, flapped his wings and took off, grabbed the buckle and opened the lid of the pot, and looked into the pot.

Empty but clean.

Long Bai put the lid back on the pot again.

"Mo Lan, push the lid down."

"Oh--"

Mo Lan raised her front foot, and gently tried to press down.

click!
There was another crisp sound of a metal mechanism.

"All right!"

"Press these two buttons at the same time to open the lid."

"Press down gently to close the lid."

As Long Bai explained, he grasped the buckle, flapped his wings and pulled it, making sure it was locked.

Long Bai pointed to the body of the pot and said, "Mo Lan, put your claws on it and try to inject the original force."

"Ok!"

Mo Lan did as she said.

At the mouth of the pot, a little blue light appeared twice, spreading along the mouth of the pot, quickly forming a blue halo, and then going out.

"Mo Lan, stop! It's done!"

Long Bai reminded, standing on the throne, raised his claws, with a click, the lid of the pot jumped up, and the mechanism became loose.

Flap your wings, grab the buckle to open the lid, and look into the jug.

A jug full of water!
Long Bai said happily: "The function of creating water is not broken! It can be used!"

"Wow!"

Mo Lan jumped up and down happily.

"Try the hot water function again!"

Long Bai put the cover back.

"Mo Lan, press the lid down."

"it is good!"

Mo Lan complied.

Long Bai stood on the throne, clicked the button with a red pattern on the side of the lid, and explained: "This button is for hot water. After pressing it, inject the original force, it can heat the water. After completion, it will automatically return to the water. Play. Molan, try it."

Mo Lan raised her thousand feet to rest on the body of the pot, injecting force, and soon, with a beep, the button with a red pattern bounced back.

Long Bai opened the lid again, and the heat rose.
