Astral Ants

Chapter 259 The Original Spider
The first five azure trees planted in Zhanlan Reservoir are all seven or eight meters tall, with broad leaves and dark green, and strong trunks.

The 5 azure trees planted on the bank of Heilian Lake can reach a height of about four meters, with a dozen broad leaves, and the diameter of the bottom leaf is only about 1 meter.

The fruit of the ordinary blue tree also grows under the leaves, and bears fruit in the first year, and there are only a few dozen of them.

Comparing the two, the gap is clear at a glance.

But actually,
The azure trees in Heilian Lake are in normal growth state.

The azure trees in the Zhanlan Reservoir have a growth effect only under the protection of the original energy field of the Zhanlan God-given Seed.

At present, the spiritual power of the Zhanlan God-given Seed is limited, and the space of the Zhanlan Reservoir is limited, so it cannot be promoted on a large scale.

On the contrary, Heilian Lake is more suitable. The actual measurement proves that the azure tree can take root and grow well here, and blossom and bear fruit. It can be cultivated on a large scale in Heilian Lake.

The fruit is all cut off, and the tree is planted first.

……

Long Bai took the black grapes and set off overnight to Nansuanzao Mountain, rested in the middle of the night, dug a hole the next morning, chopped up 6 bags of the god-given wreckage of Nansuanzao and buried them.

Departure at noon, heading east in a straight line.

The Throne of Dominion flew long-distance for six consecutive days, arrived at the first rough stone mine, and landed in a valley in the center.

Long Bai and Hei Ti commanded the worker ants to excavate in parallel from the bottom of the valley, digging a passage leading to the cave, and then turned downwards, digging nests deep underground.

40 specialized blue ants whose abdomens are full of ant honey lived in.

In order to reduce food consumption, this trip only brought 60 large worker ants, responsible for drilling holes, and 60 medium-sized worker ants and [-] soldier ants, responsible for carrying gravel.

Very simple work can be divided into two teams, going up and down the mountain at the same time.

Heiti left the kettle made by ice and fire to replenish water for the ant colony.

Longbai and Molan used metal tanks to hold water and traveled day and night. They continued to search southward where they stopped halfway last year.

As if being favored by the true god of nature, Mo Lan jumped up seven days later and discovered the second place of the original force.

Located in the hinterland of the southwest region, it is full of dark brown isolated mountains and chaotic rocks.

After simple exploration, named it 'Second Rough Stone Mine'.

Continue to break the line to the south, and two days later, the 'third rough stone mine' was discovered about 300 kilometers away from the east coastline.

According to the descriptions of the sacred tree of Citi and the seed bestowed by Yexiang, the mountainous area near the southeast coast is most likely to have the remains of rough mineral deposits.

After carefully inspecting the circle, it was confirmed that it had not been excavated.

There is a relatively high probability of finding rough stone deposits here.

Long Bai and Mo Lan left happily and continued to investigate southward.

After using it up, there will be no more discoveries in the next half month, and the fresh water carried will be exhausted, so I will go north and return to the first rough stone mine.

……

Unable to bear the scorching sun during the day, Heiti also adjusted his work and rest schedule. He hid in the underground nest room to rest during the day and went out to work at night.

No harvest yet.

The stock of food is still plentiful.

Long Bai and Mo Lan stayed for a day to rest, replenish fresh water, and set off again.

Time flies, time enters autumn.

The Reigning Throne flew to the southern coastline.

After searching the entire southeast coast, unfortunately, the fourth place of the original force was not found.

The ruling throne flew west along the coast, entered the tropical rainforest two days later, looked for rivers to replenish fresh water, hunted to replenish food, and rushed straight to the third rough stone mine.

Between the explored southwestern region and the southeastern coastal region, there is still a large area that has not been explored. If you have time, come and check it out.

According to Ye Xiang's God-given Seed, three of the tribes that own the glittering gold are located in this area, so dig it out when you have time.

Long Bai and Mo Lan avoided the scorching sun and set off at dusk. In the middle of the night, the drowsy Mo Lan jumped up suddenly, her front feet and wings moved together to guide the direction.

"Longbai! Over there! The place of force!"

"..."

How could you run into the land of the original force?

Long Bai was speechless.

Good.It was a windfall.

Throne of Reign flew northwest.

Dawn is approaching.

Hovering high in the sky and looking through the clouds, there is a dense plain forest below, which is located in the tropics and has abundant rainfall.But if you travel further east for half a day, you will gradually become plateau semi-desert and barren mountains.

Judging by the fluctuation of the original force, the scale of the original force here is not large.

Long Bai manipulated the throne of dominion to move forward, sensing at high altitude.

Make sure there are no god-given seeds.

Lower the altitude and fly around to explore. According to preliminary estimates, this place is 7 to 8 kilometers long on the long axis and 4 to 5 kilometers short on the short axis. The area is relatively large, but the force concentration is average.

The force fluctuations emitted by the force plants were not sensed.

The throne of dominion is docked by a river.

Long Bai and Mo Lan fluttered their wings and flew into the air, moving separately, one south and one north, sticking to the forest to search.

Most of them are common plants in tropical areas such as palm, thorn sunflower, foreign fir, arrowroot, and Davidia involucrata, and there are also a small amount of wild fruit trees such as coconut, mango, carambola, and papaya.

The plants here are basically found in Feiguang Mountain and the nearby forests, so there is nothing rare.

Long Bai turned around quickly, reconfirmed that there were no Life Plants, Zerg Warriors, and wild God-Bestowed Seeds, and turned back to the throne.

--what!

Approaching, Long Bai's mental power was swept away, and he was surprised.

Under the bushes not far away, a flame spider with a length of more than ten centimeters, a muddy yellow body, and a bunch of orange-red fluff on its carapace, stared straight at the ruling throne with eight eyes, as if shocked , and seemed to be watching curiously.

There is no force fluctuation, either a flame spider warrior, or an ordinary flame spider.

"come over--"

Long Bai shook his tentacles and made a move.

The flame spider remained motionless.

Long Bai thought for a while, jumped up and landed on the throne, took out a vine wooden dish, directed a blue ant out of the stump ant nest, buried his head and spit out a plate of carnivorous and refined ant honey.

Jumped off the throne, put it on the ground, tapped the tentacles, and took a few steps back.

The flame spider hiding in the bushes turned around and ran away.

Long Bai: "..."

This kind of flame spider also has a name called 'Yuanzhu', which means 'original flame spider', the ancestor of the flame spider wandering merchants.

According to legend, the "Garden Purple Flame Spider" was first mutated from the original spider tribe, and then differentiated into the Symphony Flame Spider, Purple Flame Spider, Watase Flame Spider, White-leg Flame Spider, etc. branch clan.

According to legend, when the God of Nature created the Zerg race and bestowed abilities, he bestowed the most precious "wisdom" on the flame spider tribe.

For other Zerg races, only when they awakened to become warriors can they be born with self-awareness and gradually gain wisdom.

Ordinary flame spiders are born with self-awareness and are extremely intelligent.

Long Bai had seen it in Luoli's caravan back then, and each of these little things belonged to ghost spirits.

——Is this flame spider not smart?
——Still timid?
——Nowadays, the original species of flame spiders are very rare. It seems that they have disappeared in the Ten Thousand Races Continent and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent, right?

——Do you want to take a batch back and give it to Caolong next spring?

Inheritance memory is only vaguely recorded, the flame spider tribe differentiated the round purple flame spider, and then differentiated into many traveling merchant tribes such as the magic color, purple color, Watase, white leg and so on.

On the Ten Thousand Clans Continent, the Yuanziyan Spider has always regarded itself as the suzerain, claiming that the other four Flame Spider Traveling Merchant tribes all branched off from its own branch.The Purple Flame Spider considers its blood to be pure and noble.

The other four Flame Spider tribes certainly do not admit it, and all claim that their ancestors were differentiated from the original spider tribe, and they also have noble primitive blood.

Now there is no need to argue, I will find the original ancestors with clear records of inheritance memory for you, and bring them back for a good life offering.

It's interesting to think about.

——Or, send him to Scarlet Light Mountain, and be with Sang as company.

Long Bai pondered, raised his head, scanned with mental power, searched, and quickly locked on the target.

The flame spider that had just left ran back to a small cave dug under a soil slope, and hit the ground with its forefoot. Dozens of small flame spiders with a foot length of only one centimeter came out of the cave and swarmed up the carapace. .

It turned out to be a female spider that was feeding a large group of little flame spiders.

The big flame spider, carrying the little flame spider, galloped towards the ruling throne, and went straight to the vine vine wooden plate.

The big flame spider took a sip of the ant honey, and tapped the ground rhythmically with its forefoot, and the small flame spiders on the carapace landed one after another, submerging the wooden dish instantly.

When scattered, the wooden dish has been licked clean.

Eyes, big and small, looked at Long Bai in unison.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai returned to the throne, took two vine vine plates, directed the blue ants, filled them with ant honey, and placed them on the ground.

The little flame spider rushed forward.

Two full plates were eaten quickly.

When they were full, they turned around and climbed back to the carapace of the mother spider.

Long Bai noticed that the female spider hadn't eaten yet, so he retrieved a wooden plate, filled another plate, and placed it on the ground.

The mother spider was obviously also very hungry. She ran forward, buried her head in her mouth and licked it, and quickly finished eating.

Long Bai was thinking about how to communicate with them and take them away.

The mother spider turned around and went into the jungle again.

He left after eating without even saying hello.

A wild spider who doesn't know etiquette.
