Astral Ants

Chapter 216 The pressure is so great
The cold wind from the north blew all day and all night.

After the cold rain stopped, there was a brilliant spring, and the temperature warmed up.

The black orchids are withering, insects are singing in the silent mountain forest all winter, and birds and beasts are becoming more and more active.

In the Zhanlan Reservoir, the hibernating frogs wake up, and the leaf buds of the Zhanlan Tree begin to grow.

Long Bai hesitated again and again, and repeatedly screened from 90 azure tree seeds, selected 1 to be the life seed of the next age, soaked the remaining 89 seeds, sowed them, and continued to observe.

This spring, there were relatively few things happening in Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai is relatively free, but he can't leave.

Every day, I patrol up and down the mountain to observe the growth of the life-growing plants.

The situation did not deviate from what was recorded in the Hall of Knowledge on Mount Citi. We used the slough of the cypresses bestowed by the gods to fertilize. The biggest change was the life of the 7 cypresses, which entered a vigorous growth period when the weather warmed up slightly.

Followed by close relatives of cypress, big fruit hemlock, golden pine, king fir, a total of 6 life species.

The growth momentum of other life-growing plants was significantly higher than in previous years.

The four god-given species of Zhanlan, Southern Gorgon, Northern Gorgon, and Guoxianglan all gave good feedback.

The measured results are basically consistent with those described in the Citi Hill Temple of Knowledge.

There are a lot of things, don't be stingy, increase the amount.

……

In his free time, Long Bai also made a comprehensive statistics on the number of ant colonies in the kingdom.

The worker ants and soldier ants cultivated during the primary ant queen period have all died.

The small and miniature ants bred during the mid-level ant king period also began to enter the aging period. In the next 10 years, these small mid-level ants will disappear in batches, followed by medium-sized, large, specialized...

Longbai has evolved into a high-level ant king for more than five years, and the ruling throne has basically never stopped producing ant eggs, and has always focused on cultivating soldier ants to enhance the kingdom's combat power.

Currently,

The number of specialized soldier ants and large soldier ants has exceeded 2000, and there will be no more breeding in a short period of time.

There are also hundreds of medium, small and micro soldier ants.

There are 300 specialized blue soldiers and large blue soldiers. They are responsible for fishing and irrigation. The number is slightly insufficient and needs to be replenished.

The number of specialized chemical ants is about to reach 300, and the number of large worker ants is 200.

They are responsible for territory management and land reclamation. The current number is far from enough and needs to be cultivated in large quantities.

There are more than a hundred medium, small, and miniature worker ants. They are mainly responsible for the logistics of the ant nest and some delicate work in the territory. They also need to add a batch, at least 300 are enough.

At present, the number of specialized blue ants and large blue ants has reached 400.

There are also about [-] medium, small and micro blue ants.

The number of blue ants increased synchronously with the increase in the size of the ant colony.

……

Long Bai also kept an eye on the Zhanlan Reservoir, so he went to Heilian Lake to check the growth status of the three Black Lily Seeds in Bailiu, and compared them with the two Black Lily Seeds planted in the Zhanlan Reservoir.

The gap is obvious. The black lotus species rooted in the Zhanlan Reservoir grow more rapidly, the leaves are thicker and more luxuriant, and there are more flowers.

It is certain that the original force field of the Zhanlan God-given Seed can also affect the life-growing plants, which can greatly increase income.

Long Bai regretted it too late, and found out too late that many of his and Mo Lan's life plants could be sown around the Zhanlan Reservoir.

Continuous observation, and a new discovery: the seed of the blue god can predict the weather

In the reconstructed Xianglan Mountain, every time it rains, the thousands of ravines on the south side of the mountain will eventually converge in the Zhanlan Reservoir and be discharged from the valley below.

If the rain is a little heavy, the Zhanlan Reservoir will have the problem of flooding.

Zhanlan can predict the imminent rainfall, command worker ants to dig out the drains in advance, and lower the water level of the reservoir appropriately, so as to avoid flooding the animals and plants on both sides of the bank to the greatest extent.

This guy Zhanlan not only has a lot of skills, but also a lot of ideas.

Longbai does not allow it to dig randomly around the reservoir, especially at the embankment. Once the digging collapses, the entire reservoir will be ruined.

When Zhanlan had nothing to do, she commanded the worker ants and soldier ants to search and carry gravel and clay everywhere, and lay layers of bedding under the embankment for reinforcement.

After the reinforcement was completed, they began to dig and widen the valley channel under the reservoir, sow various plants, and expand their ecological circle below the reservoir...

The land below was barren and the mountains were steep. Longbai had no plans to open up orchards, so he had nothing to say about it, so he just let it go.

Long Bai is still thinking about another question: will the probability of giving birth to life with the original force increase for the animals and plants within the coverage of the original force field of the azure blue god-given seed?

The coverage area is too small, and the probability itself is too low to be judged by comparison.

……

Green Maple and Red Maple often live in Shannan Restaurant, recuperating on the ruling throne most of the time.

Green maple fell into a deep sleep first, and successfully evolved into a 3-year-old intermediate beetle warrior, choosing green and red kiwi fruit as its life seed.

The red maple was pregnant with a seed bestowed by the gods, and it was obviously struggling. It was half a month late to sleep and evolve, and it also chose the green and red kiwi fruit as its life seed.

At the intermediate fighter stage, the two of them only chose the green and red kiwi fruit as their life seed.

The peach blossoms in the orchard are in full bloom, and the spring trading time is here.

Cuibai led 1000 soldiers to guard the house, just in case, and Mo Lan stayed behind on Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai organized an ant colony, packed his bags and set off.

Juniper and giant cypress led 1000 soldier ants, escorted 200 blue ants and 100 worker ants, and marched mightily towards the ant nest of Hongnan Mountain.

The reigning throne carries green maples, red maples, and cedars, flying at the front of the team at low altitude.

"Green maple. Red maple. You two should keep your eyes open. Don't tell the caravan about the news of the god-given seed of the green and red kiwifruit."

Seeing that the two guys were overjoyed, Long Bai reminded them.

"Why?" Red Maple was puzzled.

Long Bai: "The first reason is that I just told the caravan last year that Mo Lan got a seed bestowed by the Emerald Flower Hanlan. This year, I also said that you have also got the seed bestowed by the god. One a year, Pandan Is the mountain's god-given seed too easy to come by? I'm afraid some worms will want to think wildly."

Green maple and red maple look at each other: Cypress ant king is thinking deeply

Long Bai: "Secondly, the enhancement effect of the green and red kiwi fruit is quite good, and it will be helpful to the future evolution of the mountain master. Such good things should be given priority to the internal worms of the Yunji Continent. When we have eaten enough worms, we can then Consider selling to caravan."

"That's right!" Green Maple and Red Maple agreed with vigorously tapping their tentacles.The force food produced in his own territory is demanded by other Zerg warriors, and he cannot hide his pride.

——After careful calculation, the demand of our Yunji Continent is quite large.

--yes.In Xianglan Mountain alone, there are six commanding ants, including Longcypress, Molan, Cedar and Juniper.

——and San!

——Ghost fan and raspberry.

——Bai Liu and Hei Ti.

——Black rice and white rice.

—The yellow skewers and spruces just discovered last winter.

--Who else?

—— Mountain persimmon?does it count?Gone.

——We also need it ourselves.

--Yup.

——There are too many bugs in demand.

——So much pressure~
……

Qingfeng and Hongfeng chatted with each other and became excited.

The team set off early in the morning when the sky was dim and bright, marched for half a day, and arrived at the destination.

Juniper, giant cypress, and cedar direct the colony into the nest.

Long Bai grabbed the green maple and the red maple, gave a stern warning, and after giving instructions, he handed over a small spider silk bag to Qing maple.

Last year, two god-given seeds, Guopanlan and Beiqin, were harvested.

The Gorgon seeds produced by the North Gorgon are supplied to the interior of Yunji Continent. The God-given force food sold this year is only Guopanlan seeds, and only 100 of them were sold to the Qiye caravan.

Green maple and red maple set off with their goods.
