Astral Ants

Chapter 276 Red Cypress
A warm evening.

By the Black Lotus Lake.

10 specialized blue soldiers took turns to use their boiling water ability on the stone pot to boil the beef bones.

Heiti instructed the worker ants to slice the fat beef, hang it on a wooden stick with a hook, put it in the pot and boil it until cooked.

Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Bai Liu sat around the pot, each with two wooden plates made from the remains of the king-level mulberry tree god-given seeds.

The wooden dish is round, with a diameter of about 20 cm, and is carved with exquisite patterns of insects and bluegrass.

Ice cubes made by mixing fresh water, ant honey, and fresh fruit are placed in a wooden plate.

A wooden plate contains mellow ant honey made from a mixture of meat and dried fruits, and slices of scalded meat are dipped in ant honey to eat.

This is a new way of eating that Cypress has recently improved and is suitable for summer.

Eat a piece of meat that is piping hot.

Lick an ice cube.

One hot and one cold, one fragrant and one sweet, indescribably refreshing.

Bai Liu was indescribably happy.

After repeated questioning and confirmation, Hei Ti will stay in Heilian Lake from now on, at least not until the land reclamation and construction of Heilian Lake are completed.

"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, where are you going next? Or go to the southeast coast to find rough stones?" Bai Liu asked.

"That's right! Long Bai, what are we going to do next?" Mo Lan came to her senses and asked.

Mo Lan immediately said with emotion: "It seems that there are many things, but they are not in a hurry, and it seems that there is nothing to do."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Let's look for the area between the southwest region and the southeast coast first."

Mo Lan: "What are you looking for? Shining Gold?"

Long Bai: "Investigate from south to north, looking for the place of the original force, along the way, dig up the ruins of the three tribes that once owned the shining gold, as the seed bestowed by Yexiang God said."

Mo Lan: "... I feel... I can't dig out any good things... You can do whatever you want..."

……

Mo Lan said that if you can't dig it, you must not dig it.

Sure enough, I didn't dig it.

……

Time flies.

A plain forest that can't be seen at a glance.

The torrential rain lasted all day and night.

The large reservoir was obviously dug by the Zerg, and the water overflowed the embankment, forming a turbid flood in the river below, roaring away.

In the morning sun,

A curved rainbow hangs above Gray Fox Mountain.

The reigning throne rests on the top of the mountain.

Long Bai and Mo Lan lay on the throne, looking at the rainbow in the sky.

It is easy to find the entrance of the ruins here, but unfortunately, there are still only the remains of the god-given species in the treasure house.

The slough of the god-given seed is very useful, it can order the plant to grow vigorously, strengthen it permanently, and increase production by 10% to 30%.

But there is no way to sell this thing. If you find more, it will not be precious at all.

"Long Bai, do you want to continue searching north?"

"of course."

"If you go further north, you will enter the Zhengdong region of Yunji Continent that you have divided, right?"

"almost."

"Of the 10 tribes that possess the shimmering gold mentioned in Yexiang's God-given Seed, 5 of them are located in the Zhengdong area."

"Dig it out and have a look."

The late summer sun is still hot.

The water vapor rises, and the rainbow quickly disappears.

"The beautiful scenery is fleeting, just like this worm." Mo Lan sighed deeply, and looked away.

Long Bai didn't talk to him, his thoughts turned, and the ruling throne lifted off vertically, zigzagging towards the east.

Mo Lan stood up, stood on the edge of the stump ant nest, stared at the forest below, looked at it for a while, bored, jumped on the top of the throne back, turned and looked behind, bored and distracted.

In the morning when the golden sun hangs obliquely in mid-air,
Mo Lan suddenly became excited, excited, raised her claws to point to the north, and said calmly:

"Long Cypress. Force fluctuations."

"It can be regarded as a little discovery."

Long Bai muttered, manipulating the ruling throne to turn, and soon felt the fluctuation of the original force.

At noon, close to the place of force.

Ahead is a vast forest.

Throne of Reign slows down.

Long Bai: "The place of force here is not big, so go straight there?"

Mo Lan: "Just go there."

The Throne of Dominion accelerated, climbed a little higher into the sky, and broke into the place of the original force.

"Longbai—"

"The fluctuation of the god-given seed?"

Mo Lan, who was a little careless and didn't hold much hope, suddenly cheered up, lightly jumped to the top of the tree stump ant nest, lay on the edge, and looked down.

Long Bai also had a vague feeling, directly controlling the descent of the throne of domination.Follow the direction from which the force wave came.

Soon, a towering tree appeared in the field of vision.

There are also force fluctuations of ordinary force plants around.

It's strange that there are as many as 16 trees, but the breath is so weak that it's almost hard to detect.

——Could it be two Zerg warriors with a low degree of evolution?
——not quite like~
The flying height of the ruling throne dropped again, heading straight for the seed bestowed by God.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that it was still a cypress tree!
Slender flat leaves, bark light reddish brown.

Red cypress tree!
A species of cypress that belongs to the cypress family.

Large trees and ordinary red juniper can grow to a height of 60 meters. Like the cypress, the strengthening effect is the strength system, a natural top-level plant, and it is a plant that neither the Ten Thousand Races Continent nor the Ten Thousand Nations Continent has.

A god-given seed of red cypress with a height of more than [-] meters!

"That's not right~" Mo Lan was puzzled.

"It's very wrong~" Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to approach, suspended on the top of the tree, and observed closely.

There are fluctuations in mental power, with a strong sense of sadness.

It is not a wild god-sent seed.

In extremely poor condition, on the verge of death.

As if infected by the emotion bestowed by the god of red cypress, Mo Lan suddenly felt sad.

Mo Lan: "...I see."

Mo Lan: "This is a god-given seed...its warrior...is dead...and it is about to die."

Long Bai: "It seems to be..."

Long Bai looked around, controlling the ruling throne to fly around, approaching a Mucuna seed not far away.

There are three main vines, the thickest main vine has a diameter of 30 cm, coils upward along the hillside, and is about 50 meters long.

Did not suffer any injuries.

The branches and leaves are withered and yellow, the vitality is weak, and it is about to die.

Fifty meters away, there is another cypress tree, the whole plant is withered and yellow, and it has lost its vitality.

This is the way of death that life plants will appear.

Their fighters are dead.

Fate is fettered, life is planted and death follows.

The reigning throne climbs upwards, looking around and searching from a high place.

"Longbai—"

Mo Lan raised her paw and pointed lightly.

On the mountainside in the distance, under the cliff, among the weeds, there is a faintly visible hole.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to approach it every now and then, stopping at the entrance of the cave, scanning with mental power.

deep in the cave,

The carcass of a chubby beetle with a body length of over one meter and a metallic iridescent carapace.

The right antenna droops, and the left antennae nodules fall off.

Long Bai waved his tentacles and sniffed, but he didn't catch any smell, and sighed softly: "It's been two or three years since I died."

This time is also in line with the state of the external plant.

Those with weak vitality are already withered, and those with strong vitality are on the verge of death.

Mo Lan was silent.

Long Bai's mental strength unfolded, he glanced and checked, and said: "Rainbow walking insects, senior fighters of the second or third age, will die of old age naturally."

"Long Bai, the seed bestowed by the red cypress is still alive..."

"Alive."

"Is there a way to save it?"

"……No."

"Use your brain and find a way." Mo Lan grieved.

"..." Long Bai used his brain to think.

All force life has a soul.

There is a soul bond between the life species and the Zerg warriors.

When a soldier dies, the already weak soul of an ordinary life species will be severely injured, and it will soon collapse and the plant will die.

The soul of the god-given seed is strong, but the fetters with the Zerg warriors are also deeper. If the fighter dies, the god-given seed must die.

This is hopeless, just a few more years of struggle.

unless……

A fruit...
