Astral Ants

Chapter 260 Give me a stutter

——Is there any way to make these ordinary flame spiders understand what I mean and follow me?
Long Bai tried to imitate the flame spider, hitting the ground with his forefoot, but then gave up.

Ants have two unique ways of transmitting information, releasing pheromones and sending invisible waves from antennae.

Flame spiders can send high-frequency shock waves through their forefoot and chelicerae to transmit information to each other.

These are the innate abilities endowed by the nature gods to different Zergs, and it is almost impossible for other Zergs to imitate and decipher them.

——Do you want to use the spider silk bag and forcefully grab two bags and take them back?

——It doesn’t work either.

——It's useless to catch them back, they have legs and can run.

——stay here for a few more days, and use food to lure a group of little spiders to follow you?
——The flame spider is intelligent, so I'm afraid it's not easy to deceive.

Long Bai racked his brains to think.

The mental power was always locked on the mother spider just now, and it ran back to the hiding cave, knocked on its front feet, and the little spiders crawled back to the ground from the carapace, and burrowed into the hiding cave.

The mother spider hurriedly set off again, got into the dense forest, and quickly escaped from the range of mental power.

"What is it doing?"

Long Bai was surprised, and was about to follow up to observe, when the shadow above his head galloped and circled, and landed.

Molan returns.

"Long Bai, did you find anything?"

"Have."

"have?!"

"I found the flame spider."

"Flame Spider?!"

"Ordinary flame spider."

"???"

"Original flame spider. The ancestor of the flame spider traveling merchant tribe."

Mo Lan raised her head slightly, searched the inheritance memory, and soon found relevant information, overjoyed.

"Innately intelligent race! Where is it? Let me see!"

Long Bai raised his paw and pointed, "There is a nest over there. There should be quite a few in the jungle."

Long Bai: "They are very smart. Ordinary flame spiders will also awaken some inherited memories when they grow up. They recognize us and know that we are Zerg warriors, and they will not be afraid."

Long Bai suggested: "Mo Lan, let's stay here for a few days, there should be some curious flame spiders coming to check and beg for food. Let's try later and see if we can take a batch away."

Mo Lan said enthusiastically: "Bring it back to Xianglan Mountain for cultivation?"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Ordinary flame spiders are afraid of the cold, and will freeze to death in winter. You can send them to Crimson Mountain to be with Sang."

"...Yes."

Mo Lan unfolded her mental power and scanned in the direction pointed by Long Bai. She didn't find it, so she walked quickly, and soon found the hidden flame spider lair. It really was a large nest of small flame spiders.

Just about to step forward to take a closer look, Long Bai raised his paw and stopped him, "The mother spider is not here, don't scare the little flame spider, it will be troublesome if it runs away."

"All right--"

Mo Lan asked, "Stay here for two days? Then what are we going to do now? I've searched the northern jungle, but I found nothing."

Long Bai jumped onto the throne, "I've been tired for so long, it's good to relax for a few days."

Mo Lan: "...OK."

Mo Lan jumped onto the throne and muttered, "Heiti is still digging stones in the barren mountain."

Long Bai: "It will be lazy on its own."

Mo Lan: "When will the exploration of the first rough stone mine be completed?"

Long Bai: "It should be soon, right?"

Longbai's mental power spread downwards, checking the status of several larvae in the stump ant nest, releasing information to stimulate the differentiation and development of ant eggs.

While he was busy, he was keenly aware that there was a whirling sound in the forest, and he judged by the breath that it was a large number of flame spiders crawling.

Mo Lan at the side also noticed the movement and stood up.

In the forest, dozens of adult and sub-adult flame spiders, large and small, were running towards them, and the back of the female spider was densely covered with small flame spiders.

Seeing the ruling throne, they stopped in unison, and countless eyes stared straight at the dragon cypress and Molan on the top of the stump ant nest.

Long Bai suddenly realized.

The female spider that left earlier tasted the sweetness and informed the other spiders to go...

It called all relatives and friends over...

Ordinary flame spiders are only smart, not powerful. Surviving in the jungle not only faces various dangers, but hunting for food is also quite difficult, and they often go hungry.

Long Bai got up and put down the board.

He directed two blue ants whose stomachs were filled with ant honey to land on the board.

After picking two arrowroot leaves and laying them on the ground, two blue ants stepped forward and spit out the ant honey stored in their abdomen.

Long Bai waved his tentacles, and the two blue ants stepped back and stood under the throne.

In the woods, a flame spider raised its leg and hit the ground.

The flame spider, who was staring at it in a daze, moved suddenly, pounced on the arrowroot leaves, and submerged them like a tide.

After a short while, the swarming spider swarm dispersed, leaving two leaves riddled with holes.

"They're not full!"

"The female spiders with the little flame spiders over there haven't eaten yet!"

Mo Lan just found it interesting, came back to her senses, reminded her, jumped off the throne, grabbed two arrowroot leaves, spread them on the ground, waved her tentacles to signal to the blue ants, and raised her claws to point at the arrowroot leaves.

Two specialized blue ants understood, stepped forward, lowered their heads, and spit out ant honey.

Before Mo Lan and the blue ants left, a large group of flame spiders rushed forward.

Mo Lan hurriedly picked two more leaves and spread them on the ground, beckoning the blue ants to spit out the honey, and waving their tentacles and claws, signaling to the female spider carrying the little flame spider, who was watching from a distance, to come and eat.

They could understand the meaning expressed by Mo Lan's body movements, hesitated, stepped forward, and tapped the ground with their front feet, the little flame spiders on the carapace scrambled to slide down the spider legs to the ground, and pounced on Ant Honey.

The little flame spider also looks very smart.

They scrambled for food, and quickly dispersed after eating, crawling back to the carapace of the mother spider.

Mo Lan was so happy that she waved her tentacles to signal the blue ants to spit out some ant honey, and complained at the same time:

"Ordinary orchid mantises are too stupid. I give them food, but they don't know to come and eat."

Yes, that's too stupid~ Long Bai vigorously tapped his tentacles to agree, but he won't comment much on this question.

These flame spiders are very edible, so they picked two more leaves, shook their antennae, and signaled the blue ants to come forward and spit out ant honey.

After eating, these guys went into the forest without looking back, and scattered away.

The female spider who told her fellow spiders to beg for food also returned to the nest. She made a web with spider silk, her legs were stretched, and she lay motionless at the entrance of the cave.

Long Bai and Mo Lan observed for a while, but saw no other movements, and returned to the throne to rest bored.

late at night.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were awakened by the noisy sound at the same time, the familiar breath of the flame spider.

Walking to the edge of the stump ant nest, he buried his head and looked down.

Around the ruling throne, densely packed, surrounded by flame spiders.

They pass information to each other.

Relatives passed on relatives, friends passed on friends, relatives passed on friends, and friends passed on relatives. Notifying each other, all the flame spiders in the entire jungle crawled over.

There are so many spiders, and they are not afraid anymore. There is also a bold flame spider rubbing its claws and making a sound like urging: give it to stutterers!
Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

Was the ancestor of the flame spider tribe so shameless?

Long Bai took three large spider silk bags and jumped to the ground.

Waving tentacles to drive away.

The surrounding flame spiders retreated one after another.

Long Bai spread out the spider silk bag and shook the tentacles.

Five specialized blue ants walked down the board, lowered their heads, and spit out the ant honey stored in their abdomen on the spider silk bag.

Seeing this, the surrounding flame spiders rushed forward.

There are also those who can't squeeze in, those who are bold, climb up to the throne along the wooden plank, wander around, look at it curiously, and get into the ant nest to check the situation.

The most amazing thing is that without Long Bai's instructions, the accompanying soldier ants turned a blind eye to the flame spider that broke into the ant's nest, and just watched it curiously, without any warning or defensive action.

"Long Bai!"

Mo Lan, who was stunned, suddenly exclaimed, raised her claws and pointed at the involucrata tree in the distance, "Flame Spider Warrior!"
