Astral Ants

Chapter 258

It took Long Bai and Mo Lan more than ten days to find the entrance to the treasure house of the Xuanling Brown Stained Mantis tribe.

It turned out to be nothing.

There is no shimmering gold, no god-given wreckage left, only many murals can be seen in the entrance hall, vividly recording the various fighting skills of the Mantis warriors.

This is a warlike tribe.

No gain.

The next stop is Zikui Mountain, the territory of the migratory locust tribe.

The plain between the Jianlan Plain and the Hanlan Plain is also very easy to find. There is a mountain with a slope of less than [-] degrees. At the foot of the mountain is a lake with many mulberry trees growing there.

Long Bai and Mo Lan had visited this place before, collecting mulberries and refining them to make ant honey.

Migratory locusts like to eat mulberry leaves, and the cultivated plants are mainly mulberry trees. There are many high-quality mulberry cultivars left here.

The mulberry trees that seed the banks of the Zhanlan Reservoir come from here.

"I didn't expect it! There is a treasure house of a big tribe hidden in this place."

"The former Zikui Mountain and the sea of ​​trees are now dilapidated and ruined like this. It's really a sea of ​​change."

The ruling throne was docked by the lake, and Mo Lan looked at the mountain in front of her and gave a speech.

After sighing, Mo Lan started to feel troubled again, "Long Bai, this mountain doesn't seem to have any steep cliffs, where is the right place to dig?"

Long Bai had already surveyed the terrain when the ruling throne descended, and he was thinking about this issue right now.

"First, open a hole horizontally from the mountainside on the side facing the lake to confirm whether there is a treasure house."

"Okay!" Mo Lan urged to start work by flapping her wings.

The Throne of Reign takes off, choose your location.

Long Bai digs the soil and makes a hole in front.

Mo Lan used an animal skin bag to transport soil in the rear.

The same thing is done a lot, the cooperation is skillful, and the efficiency is high.

Five days later, a tunnel with a depth of 80 meters was dug inward, and finally encountered a stone wall hardened by the ability of the soil system.

Zikui Mountain is huge, and the treasure house is hidden deep in the mountain.

The next step is to find the entrance to the treasure house.

By convention, it must be on the side facing the reservoir.

But without a steep cliff, it was difficult to determine where to dig. Long Bai couldn't think of a better way, so he could only find those relatively steep slopes. Mo Lan pointed out the location, and Long Bai moved his claws to dig straight down.

Practice has proved that Mo Lan is not sure about this kind of exploration that does not involve the fluctuation of the original force, and has missed eleven points in a row.

The sun in the sky is growing hotter.

Long Bai seized the time to rush to Scarlet Light Mountain to complete the harvesting of the seeds bestowed by the Scarlet Light God.

Going northwest again, head to Baifan Mountain to observe the growth status of the seed bestowed by Baifan, and at the same time complete the business transaction in early summer.

Explain to Sang and Baifan that there are many things this year, and the autumn trading will be suspended for one year.

There is no need to go to Ghost Fan Mountain and Black Lotus Lake.

Starting from Baifan Mountain, go straight to Zikui Mountain and continue digging.

Lightning roared to light up the night sky.

The morning after the rainstorm.

The throne of dominion stops on a steep slope near the top of the mountain.

Long Bai was in charge of digging.

Mo Lan was in charge of lifting the soil.

Keep silent and cooperate tacitly.

Another day under the scorching sun.

In the middle of the night, near the end of work, Long Bai swept his mental power to the side, took a deep breath, and muttered:

"Damn locusts, what do they think, open the entrance passage on the top of the mountain!"

"Found it?" Mo Lan whispered.

"I found it." Long Bai replied calmly, and climbed out of the pit.

--Finally found.

Both Long Bai and Mo Lan relaxed their minds and returned to the throne to rest and recover their original strength.

In the middle of the night, excavation was carried out again, and the hole was cleared out until the early morning.

Passing through the winding entrance passage and entering the wide hall, a large number of dead branches and leaves are placed, and the air pours in, quickly carbonizing and smashing.

The slough of a god-given seed of a certain mulberry tree.

On the left and right sides of the hall, there are two passages that spiral downward.

Enter the passage on the left to check first, and at a certain distance there is a cave for storing raw stones, piled with relics of the god-given species that were cut into pieces.

All the way to the end, nothing else was found.

Then enter the passage on the right, with the same layout, every other distance is a cave where the sloughs of the god-given species are piled up.

Walking fast all the way, scanning the mental power, and found nothing else.

The two passages converge at the bottom of a circular cave with a diameter of about 30 meters.

In the center of the cave is a statue of a migratory locust tribe warrior carved from brown-red rock. The surrounding stone walls are engraved with various patterns and characters, mainly recording information about managing the territory and cultivating plants, and also depicting and recording some major events that have happened.

"Long Bai!"

Mo Lan raised her paw and pointed to the cave dome.

Long Bai then raised his head.

On the top are three big trees, one tall and two short. There is no doubt that they were the king-level god-given seeds supported by the tribe, and the relics in the cave were left by them.

The two dwarf trees are the god-given seeds of unknown species of mulberry trees.

The tallest tree is in the middle, and its height is more than twice the height of the mulberry tree. At first glance, it looks like a jujube tree, but if you look closely, it is clearly a jujube tree!

Mo Lan: "South Suanzao?"

Long Bai: "That's right!"

Mo Lan's frustration was swept away, "Using the slough of the king-level jujube god-bestowed seed as fertilizer to irrigate the wild wild jujube god-bestowed seed in Nansuan jujube mountain, the effect will definitely be very good!"

Long Bai: "Theoretically so."

Mo Lan: "Try!"

Long Bai: "Try."

Wild god-sent seeds grow too slowly.

Originally, Longbai had already decided to give up the god-given seed of Southern Jujube, but since he found its slough from the same family, he could cultivate it along the way.

From South Suanzao Mountain to Zikui Mountain, the round trip takes about four or five days, and it only takes some time to transport, without wasting other resources.

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, we have been delayed in Zikui Mountain for a long time. Let's go, pack a few bags and go back."

"Where's Shuojin?" Mo Lan was suddenly a little unwilling.

Needless to say, Shuo Jin had probably already been taken away by a locust king who had left.

Long Bai also felt unwilling, turned around, and swept his mental power towards the sculpture of the locust warrior in the cave, but couldn't find a gap.

Stepping forward, he waved his claws to try to cut, the king-level soil ability was solidified, and the tip of his toe slid across without leaving any traces.

Long Bai flapped his wings and took off, hung upside down on the dome, searched carefully, but did not find any hidden mechanism.

Mo Lan crawled along the rock wall of the cave, inspected it carefully, but found nothing.

"Mo Lan, forget it." Long Bai fell to the ground.

"The good things are being taken away."

Mo Lan was discouraged, and she didn't have much hope for the other 8 tribes that used to have Shuojin given by Yexiang's god-given seed.

It is said that the information is worth [-] million, but in fact, I am afraid that a single rough stone is not worth it.

The seed bestowed by Ye Xiang is also clear, so it is given away for free.

……

Long Bai and Mo Lan returned to the throne, took the spider silk bag, filled it with 6 bags of god-given wreckage, and set off to return to Xianglan Mountain.

Take a break and start again.

……

Dusk is heavy.

Bai Liu galloped along the shore of Heilian Lake, sank suddenly, grabbed a herring, climbed straight up, the black shadow passed by, stopped suddenly, and landed vertically at the entrance of the ant nest in the mountain range.

The worker ants swarmed up, cut up the herring carcass, moved it back to the ant nest, and fed it to the blue ants for refining.

It is rare that this year, the Dragon Cypress Ant King has not come to pick up Heiti.

In the woodland below the mountain, Hei Ti is directing the colony of ants, working overtime to reclaim the wasteland, logging, digging stumps, clearing and weeding, turning the soil, clearing gravel, raising ridges, and building orchard seedlings.

Working together, Bai Liu was in charge of hunting for the ant colony. He flapped his wings and was about to return to the lake when he suddenly stopped, turned over on his back and sideways in the air, faced north, and looked intently.

The familiar force of force fluctuates from far to near.

Soon, blue spots appeared in the field of vision.

The reigning throne is heading this way.

Bai Liu's figure flickered to meet her.

"Longcypress Ant King... Mo Lan..."

"Where's Heiti? Have you rested?" Long Bai asked.

"... rest well."

Bai Liu replied, adjusted her posture, accompanied the flight to the side of the ruling throne, and asked:
"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, are you going to take Heiti to the southeast desert?"

Mo Lan: "Yes. If we dig out the rough stone, we will give Heiti a share."

Long Bai: "It's half a year's work at most. Hei Ti will definitely be sent back before winter. After that, he will have nothing to do. He will stay in Hei Lian Lake to plant trees."

"Oh--"

Bai Liu was a little happier when he heard the words, and announced the good news: "Longbai Ant King, the Zhanlan Tree is bearing fruit!"
