Astral Ants

Chapter 211 Anchovy Lake
The ancestors of the katydid tribe did not know how long the period of force silence would last, but they knew that the God of Nature divided the force star world into eight continents, deduced that the northern hemisphere was divided into four force continents, and the force alternately recovered and fell silent.

The ancestors of the shield katydid tribe started preparations as soon as the Yunji Continent showed signs of exhaustion of force, and reached an agreement with many tribes on the mainland.

The Hall of Knowledge collects the wisdom achievements of various tribes for a fee, and charges for rough stones.When one day, when the original force is revived, the warriors of the katydid tribe will spread this knowledge to the warriors of the awakened corresponding tribe.

Huang Xie is very generous, he looks at everything casually, asks questions if he doesn't understand, and answers everything he knows.

Long Bai and Mo Lan lived in the Palace of Knowledge.

However, most of them are about agricultural cultivation, recording the cultivation and management techniques of different populations, different geographical climates, and different plants.

it works.

However, the available information is limited.

Long Bai and Mo Lan found the knowledge they needed and were interested in, and after learning about it in detail, they said goodbye and left.

……

"Long Bai, are you in a hurry to return to Xianglan Mountain?"

"No hurry."

"where to?"

"Ning Lake!"

"it is good!"

Mo Lan flapped her wings and cheered, "Get rich!"

The map of Yunji Continent left by the ancestors of the shield-weed tribe shows that, in the past, Ninghu Lake was also a prosperous place, managed jointly by several tribes headed by the fine-grained may. .

The mural information shows that they once cultivated a top-level cypress tree with a height of 40 meters and a cone diameter of nearly 2 centimeters, named "Shuoguo cypress".This kind of big tree has a great hope of being out of the care of the Zerg warriors and surviving thousands of years to this day.

Based on this alone, it is worth a trip to Longbai.Not to mention the possibility of other benefits as well.

Moreover, Ninghu Lake is not far from Bailian Lake.

"Long Bai, do you think that the yellow worm is too... too talkative? It actually provided us with so much important information without reservation."

"So what if we don't provide it to us? It's trapped in the place of the Force and can't do anything."

"Then you can also negotiate terms with us."

"Why should a vegetarian worm negotiate terms with a meat-eating worm? Huang Zhuo is a smart worm."

"Oh--"

Mo Lan raised her head and thought for a while, then shook her head, and said, "It's still wrong. From the beginning to the end, I always felt that the yellow skewer was weird."

There is indeed a lot of weirdness in that yellow skewer.

Long Bai buried his head in thought for a long time, raised his head, and said calmly: "It will be a long time in the future. In the future, with more contact, we will find out slowly. There must be other secrets hidden in Huaqi Mountain. Huang Jie is not willing to tell them now, but in the future, he will definitely have to. Say it or take it out."

Mo Lan: "I have a vague feeling that there is something very powerful and terrifying hidden under Mount Citi..."

"Scary?" Long Bai looked serious.

"I can't tell..."

Mo Lan raised her head, thinking, hesitating, and said, "It's weird...it's vague...the soul is frightening...it's not a Zerg warrior...it's a very strange thing, I can't say what it is..."

Long Bai became more serious.

Mo Lan is not just simply being favored by the God of Nature, she has an extraordinary perception of the force, and this kind of intuition is always accurate.

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, if you say that, I already have something in mind, there's no need to speculate, I'll ask Huang Jie directly..."

……

Temple of knowledge.

Spruce holds the metal can with its two claws, and its two tentacles alternate, dipping it in ant honey and licking it.

Huang Xun looked at the map of the dome cloud trace continent, motionless.

"Huang Jie, what do you think of Longbai Ant King and Mo Lan?"

"Mo Lan is pure and kind. Long Bai has a slightly complicated mind, but he has no malicious intentions. I was convinced that the two of them are traveling businessmen who can be with each other for a long time, so I brought them into Mount Citi."

"What about attacking the termite kingdom and snatching the god-given seed? Do you think it's feasible?"

"There are risks. But no insect can refuse the benefits after the event is completed."

"Yes. I can't refuse. With the god-given seed that greatly prolongs the lifespan, you and I both have the hope of evolving to the lord level."

"No!"

Huang Chuan looked back at the dome, turned slowly to look at Yunshan, and said, "I'm thinking, can we evolve to the king level? Take this opportunity to lead the recovery of Citi Mountain ZTE and hoard a batch of resources."

"Activate a few god-given seeds?"

"Yes. However, to attack a lord-level termite kingdom, the ordinary god-given seed is probably not enough, Yunshan, you not only need to evolve to the mountain lord level, but also need to surpass the combat power of ordinary Zerg fighters. I am hesitating..."

Yunshan licked the ant honey froze, froze for a moment, quickly licked it clean, screwed on the lid of the jar, stood up, and asked solemnly:

"Huang Jie, who are you going to wake up...?"

"The dragon cypress ant king is planning to take advantage of the sleepy evolution of the termite king and queen ant, launch a surprise attack, attack east and west, and Molan stealthily assassinate. In this case, it must be more suitable for the Quandong sacred tree... But for you... Lin Nan The Divine Tree is more suitable..."

Huang Ji shook the tentacles lightly, "This matter cannot be rushed, and you cannot act rashly. Observe for another two years, and make a decision after seeing the situation clearly."

Yun Shan understood a little bit, and said: "If Cypress Ant King and Mo Lan follow the map and explore the settlements of the large ethnic groups of the previous Force generation, there is a certain hope that they will find the treasure house and the original stone."

"There is little hope... To obtain the rough stone, I hope that the flame spider merchants they say are more reliable."

"I've given hints many times, the Dragon Cypress Ant King should be able to understand..."

Huang Xie paused, and said: "Yunshan, you should evolve to the 4th age as soon as possible, and pick a god-given seed to gestate and sow. Don't let two unorthodox small traveling merchants look down on us Citi Hill."

……

The reigning throne floated slowly at high altitude, while Long Bai and Mo Lan lay on the edge of the stump ant nest, watching with their heads buried.

On a plain surrounded by mountains, there is a tadpole-shaped lake with a big head and a thin tail.

There is also a big river flowing nearby.

It is more in line with the description of Anon Lake on the map.

After 5000 years or even longer, the geology and landforms must have changed, but there will be no earth-shaking changes.

"Long Bai, is this here?"

"probably."

"It's full of cypresses over there! Quick! Look!"

"Um--"

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to sink quickly, drifted forward, fell towards a mountain peak, slowed down, and hovered over the mountain forest.

Upon closer inspection, I was immediately disappointed.

All juniper and arborvitae.

Mo Lan left the throne, flew at low altitude, flew around the ring mountain range at a very high speed, and returned to the throne.

"No--"

High-level fighters also cannot stay in a force vacuum environment for a long time.

Rest for a while, set off again, and fly around the mountains again.

"still none--"

Long Bai also manipulated the ruling throne to fly slowly along the mountainside, observing along the way.

Then fly around the forest under the mountain.

I am sure that I did not go to the wrong place. As recorded in the map of the katydid tribe, there are many types of cypress and catalpa trees on the mountain and below the mountain, and there are scattered cherry, peach, and apple trees.

But they are all wild native species with small and few fruits.

Over the long years, without the management of Zerg warriors, those high-quality cultivated tree species have been eliminated naturally.

It's almost dusk.

The reigning throne rests by the lake.

Long Bai caught fish from the lake, and Mo Lan caught a rare big turtle by the lake.

The worker ants cut it and threw it into a super-sized metal pot for boiling.

The evening breeze is gentle, the white mist is lingering, and the smell of meat is wafting with the wind.

There are water spinach and honeysuckle growing by the lake, all of which are ordinary wild species, mixed with plants such as charophyta, foxtail algae, bitter grass, calamus, duckweed and so on.

I've searched around, but I can't find any traces of it being the settlement of a large tribe.

"Time is really ruthless. It will lead us to aging and death, wipe away the evidence of our past existence, and leave nothing behind in the end." Mo Lan has been brewing for a long time, expressing deep emotion that she thinks is full of profound natural philosophy.

"Oh--"

Long Bai casually agreed, focusing on the boiled turtle meat in the metal pot.

"Long Bai, aren't you sentimental at all?" Mo Lan raised her claws to pick up a piece, tasted it, found it wasn't ripe, and threw it to the waiting worker ants who were looking forward to it.

"I'm so sad that I don't want to talk..."

Long Bai was still perfunctory.

Mo Lan was displeased and asked, "What should we do next?"

Long Bai: "Look carefully."

Mo Lan: "What are you looking for?"

Long cypress: "The fruitful dragon cypress... I guess it's gone."

Long Bai: "The sun lotus...has not been preserved either."

Long Cypress: "There are no top-level plants. Then let's find out if there are any relics like Mount Citi. Maybe we can find things like the treasure house of rough stones and the creations of extraterrestrial civilizations."

"Oh--"

Mo Lan looked around at the undulating mountains, counted them, and said with a headache, "17 peaks are enough for us to find one in winter."
