Astral Ants

Chapter 325 Settling Troops on the Barren Plain
late autumn.

Pandan Mountain.

The blue god-bestowed seed is ripe, super-grade god-bestowed seed, lord-level quality, and a single fruit can be sold for 25 rough stones per piece.

However, the production of this batch is not much, and only 1800 azure blue fruits are kept.

The tree height of the Zhanlan God-given Seed exceeds 80 meters, and its growth momentum remains unabated. It is appropriate to carefully keep 3000 fruits in the coming year.

After the growth momentum of the blue god-given seed has passed, consider bearing fruit in large quantities.

……

Ghost Fan Mountain.

The seed bestowed by the ghost fan god is ripe, and only an integer of 3000 is reserved. Longbai bought all of them, ate 1000 for himself, Molan 500, and distributed the remaining 1500 to other insects in the Yunji Continent.

……

rice mountain.

The output of the god-given seed of rice has reached 1500 per year, and all the insects in Yunji Continent have been eaten. They are made into rice royal honey with a price of 3000 rough stones/cans, and will be sold to caravans in the coming year.

……

Kiwi Mountain.

The green and red macaque species of green maple and red maple have earned 18000 rough stones this year, and the total income of the territory has reached 23000 rough stones, which is quite impressive.

……

After a year of growth, 30000 rough stones were invested in the seed bestowed by the gods of red cypress, and the height of the tree reached 14 meters. It initially grew into a big tree, far exceeding expectations.

Long Bai brought Yin Bai from the Sugar Palm Rainforest to South Suanzao Mountain, where it would live and take care of it.

……

Longbai returned to Xianglan Mountain.

The 800 specialized blue soldiers planned for the Shandong Reservoir are all in place, and the combat effectiveness of the Ant Kingdom on Xianglan Mountain is saturated.

Longbai began to cultivate worker ants and blue ants of the mountain main level, as well as a small number of large and medium-sized soldier ants.

Time for winter.

Winter to spring.

Heiye is still reclaiming wasteland in the sugar palm rainforest alone.

Cuibai replaces Yinbai and lives in South Suanzao Mountain to take care of the god-given seed of red cypress.

Yinbai returned to Xianglan Mountain, and together with Juniper and Giant Cypress, trained specialized blue soldiers, drilled various battle formations, and practiced battle command at the same time.During the attack on the termite kingdom, Yinbai was responsible for guarding the main nest of Mount Xianglan.

The reclamation work of Molan Mountain entered the final stage, and Xiangbai returned to Xianglan Mountain to take charge of the territory management.

It took Long Cypress two days to transport the fruit seedlings cultivated by Xianglan Mountain and Heilian Lake Nursery to Molan Mountain. Juncypress led the ant colony to plant them, and left behind to take care of the follow-up management.

Spring blossoms.

After Long Bai completed the deal with the Flame Spider Traveler, the Throne of Dominion set off to the north with a large number of worker ants and blue ants carrying Heiti.

Barren plain.

The severe winter here has not yet subsided, and the cold wind blows, and the gravel is blown by the wind.

cold.drought.barren.

Hei Ti lay on the edge of the ruling throne, looking down and observing.

"My lord, there isn't even a single hill here."

Long Bai: "I haven't found a source of water either. You first use ice and fire to make a kettle to replenish water for the ant colony. Dig around, and you should be able to dig out groundwater."

Hei Ti: "...Okay."

Hei Ti: "Your Majesty, how do you dig an ant's nest?"

Long Bai: "Go over there and have a look!"

The throne of dominion descended obliquely, and landed under a mound that stretched for two to three kilometers and rose to a height of more than ten meters.

Long Bai put down the board.

Hei Ti led the ant colony to the ground.

Long Bai fluttered his wings and soared into the air, galloping at low altitude, circling and observing.

"Hei Ti, this is the place."

Long Bai's tentacles pointed, and said: "Dig below the mound, open an ant tunnel with a diameter of about 1.2 meters, and spiral downward. First dig, check the underground soil quality, and then determine the depth of the ant nest."

Long Bai: "To build a nest here, you need to consider three issues. The first is the insulation and ventilation of the nest room in winter; the second is the humidity of the ant nest in the dry season; the third is the storage of [-] soldier ants in the future, and the capacity of the ant nest. And internal traffic is very troublesome."

Long Bai: "[-] soldier ants must have supporting workers and blue ants, and the actual number may reach [-]."

Long Bai: "A single ant nest is definitely not enough. If it is dug too big, it is easy to collapse. It needs to be divided into multiple sub-nests and built separately. A channel for transmitting information and instructions between the sub-nests is enough."

Heiti: "Understood, Your Majesty."

Hei Ti directs the ant colony to dig.

Long Bai stayed, observed for a day, left after confirming that it was correct, and returned straight to Xianglan Mountain.

From the main nest of Xianglan Mountain, transport mountain master-level specialized chemical ants, large worker ants, specialized blue ants, large blue ants, and large and medium-sized soldier ants, medium, small, and miniature worker ants cultivated in the advanced warrior stage to the barren plain.

The number does not need to be too much, two trips are enough.

Long Bai stayed behind, and together with Heiti, commanded the worker ants to open up ant nests, and at the same time used the ruling throne to produce ant eggs and cultivate more worker ants and blue ants.

A batch of ant eggs were produced in five days. During this period, Long Bai had time to go eastward into the mountain forest area with abundant rainfall and life, and hunted large animals to bring them back.

Blue soldiers and blue ants are vegetarians. However, it is best to eat more meat during the larval development stage, so that they grow faster and the adults are stronger.

……

It's summer time.

The first sub-nest has been built, and it is more than 500 meters deep underground, which can accommodate about [-] mountain master-level specialized ants.

According to the preliminary plan, 12 similar ant nests need to be built, and there is no rush for the time being.

Hei Ti directed the ant colony to dig and build a reservoir on the plain near the ant nest. The planned length is 100 meters, the width is 30 meters, and the depth is 4 to 5 meters.

Long Bai himself returned to Molan Mountain, and transferred the ant colony from Molan Mountain to Hanlan Mountain. Juniper was in charge, and began to reclaim wasteland in Hanlan Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Long Bai went to Heilian Lake and Bailian Lake successively, and cultivated 200 specialized blue ants in separate nests in each place of force, which were used for harvesting ripe fruit in the orchard, refining and storing ant honey.

……

Time flies.

time to fall,

Hei Ti led the worker ants to dig the reservoir.

This reservoir will be used for training specialized blue soldiers, exercising their water system abilities, and practicing battle formations in the future.

Specialized blue soldiers have not yet started to cultivate, so there is no rush to store water.

Turn around and dig the second colony ant nest.

Time for winter.

Together, Longbai and Molan hurriedly completed the business tour in Citi Mountain, Yinbai Mountain and Heiguo Mountain in the north.

According to the agreement, Baifan will evolve into a mountain master this winter.

The ruling throne transported 50 bags of god-given wreckage along the way, and hurried to Baifan Mountain.

……

The seed bestowed by rice rice is not a life-giving seed after all. When the height of the tree reaches about 60 meters, the growth rate suddenly slows down. It needs to absorb the force bit by bit to carry out the accumulation and transformation of life levels. A long process of a hundred years.

"Red Fox!"

"White rice. Black rice."

Long Bai and Mo Lan jumped to the ground.

Meet and greet.

The ruling throne shrunk sharply, and the full-loaded spider silk bags fell down with a clatter.

Mo Lan said: "We brought a large number of god-given wrecks along the way. You need to use more, Red Fox."

"Ok."

"Thank you."

Red fox, white rice, and black rice thank you.

Long Bai didn't exchange many pleasantries, and asked directly: "Baifan, how are your preparations?"

Baifan: "There are signs of a breakthrough, and you can sleep and evolve at any time."

Long Bai waved his forefoot in greeting, and the ruling throne was suspended from the ground, "That's good! Let's go to your living cave."

Baifan: "Good!"

The group came to the cave where Baifan lived.

The throne of domination is placed inside.

Eat and drink enough rice, jump on the throne, adjust the state, eat the original force ant honey, and brew evolution.

Longbai, Molan, and Wufan use bundles of thorny thorns to pile up and block the entrance of the cave.

Bring in the wreckage bestowed by the gods, scrape it into sawdust, and use it to plant plants for Baifan's life.

There is no god-given seed for rice, no worries, and it is easier to break through evolution.

Three days later,
Baifan fell into a deep sleep.

nine days later,
Suddenly violent force fluctuations broke out in the cave, and the ruling throne crazily extracted natural force, forming a force vacuum covering a radius of 500 meters.

It lasted for half a day, and calm was restored.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were already very experienced in breaking through the main level of the Evolution Mountain, so they waited patiently for a while, feeling the fluctuation of the original force in the cave, and peeled away the thorns that blocked the entrance of the cave.

Baifan has shed the old shell, his body is expanding, and the carapace is rapidly hardening.

It's almost over.

Long Bai's mental power unfolded, he swept it away, turned around, and said calmly: "Everything is going well, the evolution is successful."

"Wow~ oh!"

Over the past few days, with anxiety and anticipation, the haggard Wu Fan jumped up, jumping and cheering.
