Astral Ants

Chapter 24 Molan Mountain, Longbai River

"Long Bai, are you tired?"

"a bit tired……"

"Then drink a cup of hot water!"

"it is good……"

Every evening when she stops to rest, Mo Lan will take out its water bottle, use the original force to make a pot of fresh water, heat it, and fill a bamboo tube with Long Cypress.

"Mo Lan, rest overnight, we should go back tomorrow morning."

Long Bai took a sip of hot water, and buried himself in combing the tentacles.

"Going back again?"

Mo Lan has already picked up an ice and fire kettle, and after a long time of finding nothing, she is still enthusiastic.

"Long Bai, haven't you prepared enough food for the ant colony? Let's look for it again."

Long Bai sighed: "I have searched so far along the upper and lower reaches of the big river, but there is no trace at all. When I think about it carefully, there are only two possibilities: the first one, the ice-fire kettle is just a single scattered piece, and you picked it up by accident. ;The second possibility..."

"Did it come from a certain tributary when it was raining and flooding? If so, it should be a certain river coming from the east bank, deep in the Yunji Continent."

"That's right! Long Bai, you are so smart!"

Seeing that Long Bai was about to shrink back, Mo Lan hurriedly praised him vigorously, and said, "Then let's look for it along the tributaries on the east bank."

Long Bai: "During the journey, I have noticed that there are a total of 37 tributaries in the section of the river we have searched. Assuming that each tributary delays an average of four or five days, you do the math."

"Forehead--"

Mo Lan tried to calculate, her head was big.

Long Bai: "Go back first, and come back after a rest."

……

The coldest period of winter is over.

As the temperature rose, Mo Lan and Han Lan Mingzhong in Mo Lan's territory were the first to sense it and drew their foil swords.

Molan has been evolving into a warrior for nearly a year, and its common life species have grown well, and the flowering period has moved forward.

"Mo Lan, this is the last expedition of this year. In the beginning of spring, we have a lot of things to do in our territory."

"I know. I know. Let's go."

Mo Lan urged Long Bai to go out for the fourth time.

After confirming the direction, the command flew in a straight line, and it took a day and a night to reach the big river.

Going up the river, it took a day to find a tributary, and then go up the tributary until you find the mountain at the source.

Turn around, search north across the mountains and forests, find a river, and go down to the big river.

Then go upstream along the big river, and search upstream from the next tributary.

"Long cypress! Long cypress!"

Suddenly, Mo Lan, who was lying on the edge of the throne, looking around and searching, jumped up, and flapped her wings vigorously against Long Bai, who was a little absent-minded.

Long Bai stood up, followed by scanning both sides of the river below, and questioned: "Did you find something? Where is it?"

"Original force fluctuations!"

"there!"

"I'll go first!"

Mo Lan jumped up, flapped her wings into the sky, and disappeared into the mountains at a high speed.

force?

I don't feel it...

"!!!"

Long Bai put in more effort, manipulated the ruling throne to go up into the sky, and accelerated forward.

After flying for a long time, finally, he vaguely felt the fluctuation of the original force that Mo Lan said.

There is indeed a very thin force spreading from afar.

A white dot appeared in the field of vision, and Mo Lan flew back, circling the ruling throne.

"Long Bai!"

"Found it!"

"It's a huge place with abundant force!"

"there!"

"I'll go first! Come here quickly."

After Mo Lan finished speaking, she turned around and left again.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne, adjusted his direction slightly, and chased after the direction where Mo Lan disappeared.

Through the mountains is the vast plain forest.

The force fluctuations are gradually becoming clear.

From mid-morning to dusk, under the setting sun, there is a low mountain range that can be seen from a high altitude at a glance.

The concentration of force is not as high as that of the Mountain Territory, but it is not low, and it is comparable to the Ten Thousand Races Continent and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent.

Mo Lan saw it from a distance, came galloping, and greeted excitedly.

"Long Bai! You are finally here!"

"I've checked it out. Centered on that small mountain range, there's a large area around it, and the abundance of force is pretty good."

"I didn't find any other Zerg, and I didn't see any wild God-given Seeds. We can spend a few days searching here carefully."

Long Bai simply responded: "Okay!"

After being busy for most of the winter, the creation of the extraterrestrial civilization was not found, but it is also very good to be able to find such a place of force as one wishes.

It was late, and I rested under a big pagoda tree at the foot of the mountain.

"Long Bai. Drink hot water."

Mo Lan took out her ice and fire kettle, poured a bamboo tube for Long Bai, and poured another tube for herself, and drank it happily.

"Long Bai, I think we should name the territory we discovered."

"Think about it. If we go out to search every winter, we can definitely find more similar places with force. With names, it is easy to distinguish, right?"

"right……"

Long Bai suggested: "The mountain range where we settled is planted with the God-bestowed Seed of Orchid. According to the common practice in the mainland, it can be named 'Xianglan Mountain'. Here, Mo Lan, you were the first to discover it, so it is called 'Xianglan Mountain'. Molan Mountain' right."

"Great!"

Mo Lan cheered, and suggested: "That big river also has a name, how about we call it 'Longbai River'?"

Long Bai: "..."

Not so good~
Long Bai: "Why not call it 'Zhanlan River', or 'Zhanjiang', or 'Blue River'."

Mo Lan thought about it for a while, and said, "Blue River! That's a nice name!"

"Then call it 'Blue River.'"

It's just a name, nothing to worry about, Long Bai agreed without thinking too much.

Mo Lan asked: "Long Bai, are you hungry?"

Long Bai: "A little bit."

Mo Lan: "I'm going to catch two frogs."

Eating frogs again?Long Bai hesitated for a while, then asked, "Mo Lan, you seem to have a big prejudice against frogs?"

When Mo Lan heard this, she became angry.

"When I was just born and my strength was weak, I could only hunt locusts in the grass by the river at the foot of the mountain. There was a group of nasty frogs who always robbed me of food. The locusts were all eaten by them. I was often hungry and worried about myself. be eaten."

"Later, when I grew up and became more powerful, I specialized in catching frogs, observed them carefully, and learned hunting skills."

"Forehead……"

"sharp……"

Long Bai was speechless.

You can really hold a grudge.

……

The next day, Long Bai and Mo Lan acted separately and started a blanket search of the jungle.

It took half a day for Long Bai to figure out the general situation.

The force rises upward from the ground, with a small mountain range as the axis, a large area about seven or eight kilometers long and four or five kilometers wide.

The terrain is flat and the temperature is suitable. There is a big river with a width of five or six meters flowing through it. Mo Lan named it "Longbai River".

With abundant water resources, it is a treasure land suitable for reclamation and development of fruit forests.

Five days of searching, without any results.

Not surprisingly, the plants bloom and bear fruit. If there is no care, the fruits may be eaten by birds and beasts just before they are ripe. Only a very few can survive to the ground, and then there are various animals that eat fruits and seeds waiting on the ground. with.

The same is true for insect warriors. Insect warriors of the first age are weak, if they are unlucky or not smart enough, they will become food for birds and beasts, and it is almost impossible to survive independently.

Molan is a one-in-a-million special case. It is very smart and very lucky. It was lucky to survive in Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were not disappointed when there was no real harvest, they set off and returned, discussing with great interest how to develop this new territory in the future.
