Astral Ants

Chapter 33 Midsummer
In the expectant eyes of Longbai and Molan, the blue did not attract a new round of rapid growth, but the existing three leaves grew thicker, and the fourth broad leaf was delayed.

Many larvae and water turtles of unknown origin appeared in the small pond.

The most exaggerated thing is that at some time, a frog broke through the defense of 12 soldier ants, jumped into the pond to lay eggs, and hatched a large group of tadpoles.

For these creatures that invaded the territory, Zhanlan was very friendly, even a little happy.

The tadpoles will develop into frogs, Mo Lan is not happy.

The pond has just been fertilized, and Long Bai is reluctant to release water to catch them.

Larvae and leeches will turn into mosquitoes and dragonflies and fly away.

As for the tadpoles, wait until they turn into frogs before picking them up.

……

Up and down the mountain, there are too many things to be busy.

Every morning and evening, the hatching room has to be inspected to leave pheromones.

Mowing refills the digester.

Plant loose soil and fertilize the cypress trees on the mountain, and grow them longer while the early summer is not so hot.

A nursery for sowing ordinary seeds needs to be carefully cared for, and ordinary plants are much more fragile than force plants.

There is also a large pond at the foot of the mountain. Long Bai spent most of his time and energy on it, and it took another twenty days to finally dig it.

The sun has become vicious.

There has been no rainfall for 8 consecutive days, and the flow of rivers has decreased significantly.

Long Bai led the ant colony and worked overtime, and Mo Lan also came to help. Together, they dug the diversion channel in time and filled a large pond with water.

The growth of Zhanlan requires sufficient light and likes a climate with high temperature and high humidity.

Under the scorching sun, the growth rate is accelerated a lot.

The fourth broad leaf is unfolded, and the height of the whole plant is nearly two meters, and the trunk at the bottom of the pond reaches a thickness of about 5 centimeters.

The first broad leaf is about 0.6 meters in diameter and over half a meter in height.

The design water depth of the small pond is 0.5 meters, and it is also filled with water.

At this time, Long Bai felt a little relieved and continued to dig.
On the west side of the small pond, dig another large pond with a side length of about 6 meters and a depth of about 1.5 meters.

However, it is not as urgent as before.

adjust working hours,

In the early morning, the sky is bright and the ant colony is brought out of the nest to work. In the middle of the morning, the sun is blazing and they return to the nest.

In the afternoon, when the sun sets, go out of the nest to dig for a while, and call it a day when it gets dark.

In his spare time, Long Bai would either stay by the small pond, tell stories to Zhan Lan, and teach him some basic knowledge;

Many plants are ripening in this season, and Mo Lan's enthusiasm for finding the god-given seed has never diminished, and she wanders up and down the mountain every day.

……

dusk,

Long Bai took the worker ants out of the nest to work.

Mo Lan flew here with a bulging spider silk bag dangling.

Long Bai's thoughts moved slightly, and the ruling throne magnified a little.

Mo Lan landed directly on the cushion.

"Long Bai, eat the fruit."

"Forehead--"

Mo Lan opened the bag, took out a bunch of raspberries and handed it to Long Bai, and then took out another bunch and threw it to the ants below.

A worker ant came forward, touched its antennae, licked it, and turned away.

Long Bai doesn't like vegetarian food either.

However, the blue-ray scanning of the Throne of Dominion always said that the nutrition was out of balance, and there were also mixed and matched animals, which were still out of balance.

Try some fresh fruit.

"Longbai, don't giant head ants like to eat raspberries?"

"Eat."

"Why doesn't that worker ant eat?"

Long Bai waved his tentacles and gave the order to the worker ant just now to come back and eat the raspberries, and then ordered several nearby worker ants to help.

Seeing this, the nearby worker ants turned around and ran away one after another.

Most of these fruits are not ripe, and the unripe ones are so sour.

Long Bai pulled the spider silk bag and took out two more skewers, picking and choosing, throwing away the bad ones.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this, Mo Lan smirked.

finished laughing,

Mo Lan said seriously: "Long Bai, I have searched all of Xianglan Mountain, but I haven't found any new god-given seeds. I was thinking, over there at Molan Mountain... let's go and look for it?"

Long Bai: "It will be the dry season soon."

Given that Mo Lan had already found a seed bestowed by the fruit fragrance orchid and a kettle made of ice and fire, Long Bai raised six legs and agreed with him to hunt for treasure everywhere.

"Molan, you can arrange it like this. I will use the throne to send you there, and you stay in Molan Mountain to find it slowly. I will return to Xianglan Mountain to manage the territory for you, and I will come to pick you up in 15 days."

Mo Lan tilted her head and thought for a long time before agreeing, "Alright!"

Mo Lan then began to explain: "Ordinary orchids should be watered less, and a little watering is enough when it is particularly dry. Orchid life, you should pay attention to check the underground soil with mental strength. If it is particularly dry, water it around them once, and let them The water seeped through..."

……

In the early morning of the next day, I packed my luggage and set off.

Longbai has a strong sense of direction. He has been there once, and he knows the direction of Molan Mountain, so he can control the throne to fly in a straight line.

Traveling day and night, it only takes one day to get to the place.

This trip also brought 10 worker ants, and spent another day helping Molan dig a living cave in the mountains.

Arrange properly, and then return to Xianglan Mountain in a straight line.

Unexpectedly, the sky in midsummer this year is not as clean as last year, and there are always overcast clouds covering the sun.

Overcast clouds gather, thunder and lightning strike, and torrential rain pours down.

The second large pond, which was dug to a depth of less than half a meter, was flooded.

Long Bai was too lazy to dig a drainage ditch, so he directed the worker ants to dig a third large pond directly to the south of the small pond.

As a result, after only two days of digging, just after some outlines were dug out, another torrential rain lasted for a whole night.

The turbid mountain torrents rushed down with dead branches and leaves, submerged large and small ponds, and lasted for a morning before gradually subsiding.

There is no drought and no dry season this year.

Territorial life plants do not need too much care, a relatively leisurely hot summer.

Soon, the 15 days agreed with Mo Lan came to an end, and Long Bai simply packed up and set off.

The ruling throne flew continuously for a day and a night, and arrived at Mount Molan.

"Cymbidium?"

Approaching the cave, I found that the entrance of the cave was blocked with thorny branches.

Just as he was about to release his mental power to scan and inspect, his thoughts turned, and he quickly withdrew his mental power.

Mo Lan is not in the habit of going out to block holes.

Sensing the fluctuation of the surrounding force again, it is clearly that it is sleeping and evolving in the cave!

Something big happened!
If disturbed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Long Bai hurriedly manipulated the ruling throne to retreat.

Looking closely at the branches used for sealing, the leaves are a little wilted due to the hot weather, but there is no sign of withering, and the incision is still relatively fresh.

Sleep for no more than a day.

Mo Lan should also be counting the time, most likely fell into a deep sleep last night.

It has eaten a lot of food that strengthens the comprehensive physical fitness, and it has only evolved from the 2nd age to the 3rd age, so there is no big problem.

Long Bai stayed at the entrance of the cave with peace of mind.

The principle of the Throne of Dominion assisting in the rapid completion of sleeping evolution is to provide sufficient force.

Without the assistance of the ruling throne, one can only slowly absorb the needs of evolution and transformation from nature.

Four days later,
midnight,

There was a sudden violent force fluctuation in the cave, which was a sign of entering the final stage, and it subsided after a while.

Another day passed, and the force fluctuations in the cave returned to calm.

"Long Bai?!"

"Mo Lan, are you awake? Are you hungry? You sort out the inheritance memory first, and I'll get some food back."

Long Bai pushed aside the dead branches that blocked him, took a look, controlled the ruling throne to enter the cave, let him rest on the throne, and went out on foot to hunt for food.
