Astral Ants

Chapter 342 Nine Stars, Nine Suns

It took up to 9 days and the total amount exceeded 400 million rough transactions.

The team returned to Pandan Mountain.

Count the wealth in the treasury.

Longbai and Molan have evolved into the main level of the mountain for many years, and the annual income of the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom is basically stable.

The two god-given seeds of Southern Gorgon and Northern Gorgon, together, have an annual income of 44000 rough stones.

The seed of the blue god bestowed fruit this time is 3000, and next time it will no longer thin the flowers and fruit, the output should exceed 6000, but there will be no further growth in the short term.

The income of the blue god-given seed is 45000 rough stones/year.

The income of the God-given Seed of Guoxianglan is 14000 rough stones/year.

The income of Cuihua Hanlan God-given Seed is 11000 rough stones/year.

Long Bai intends to cultivate the two wild god-given seeds of Crimson Light and Southern Suanzao to the king level, and has been controlling the number of their fruit bearings.

The wild Scarlet God-given seed bears 3000 fruits every year, bringing about 60000 rough stone net income, which is shared equally with Sang, each accounting for 30000 rough stones.

After using the god-given wreckage of the same family, the wild southern jujube seed has grown rapidly, and the tree height is more than 50 meters, not far from the lord level. Longbai only keeps 4000 fruits for it, with an average annual income of 10000 rough stones.

In addition,

The god-given seeds of red cypress and chestnut bean, as well as the black and yellow god-given seeds of the big vine type, need a certain number of years of growth and development to generate considerable income.

Xue Lan's god-given seed is still gestating in Mo Lan's life sac, very early.

Before attacking the Termite Kingdom, all the god-given seeds that Long Bai and Mo Lan had mastered brought a total income of about 16 rough stones every year.

The output of ordinary life seeds also cannot be ignored.

At present, the combined common life plants of Longbai and Molan have an annual income of 12.

This year's cooperation with Baiwei and Caolong in the original honey trade, the income has skyrocketed, reaching 24 rough stones.

Longbai almost no longer relies on the traveling merchants in Yunji Continent to earn rough stones, but still earns [-] to [-] yuan.

Taken together, the total revenue last year exceeded 54 rough stones.

Expenditures are even more terrifying,
Molan uses a lot of food bestowed by the gods, and the annual cost is as high as 15.

To support the evolution of green maple, red maple, and white willow, the annual cost exceeds 15.

The annual cost of all the kings under his command is about 10 rough stones, and after juniper, giant cypress, and cypress evolve into the main level of the mountain, the cost will double.

Every year, 10 to 15 rough stones need to be lent to Wufan, Baifan, Mulberry, Ghost Fan, and Mountain Persimmon to help them evolve rapidly.

There is also a huge fixed cost, that is, 5000 ants march from the barren plain to attack the termite kingdom, march through the force vacuum, and prepare 150 million cheap force ant honey along the way.

With the help of Bai Wei and Cao Long, this part of the force food was organized by other flame spider merchants to carry it along with them.

It is difficult to transport such a large quantity at one time, and it has to be prepared four or five years in advance.

Long Bai carefully calculated the income and expenditure for the next five years.

If you sell another divine grade night fragrance fruit, you will earn 50 rough stones.

You need to borrow from the Flame Spider Caravan, but the amount is not particularly large, 50 to 60 is enough.

……

In any case, a good year.

An unprecedented grand celebration dinner was held at Pandan Mountain.

Early the next morning, Long Bai headed south first, sending Mo Lan to South Suanzao Mountain and Sugar Palm back to Feiguang Mountain.

Send cedars to Hanlan Mountain to reclaim wasteland.

Further north, inform Yexiang that the seed bestowed by the gods is ready to bear fruit; send the 'Shenpin Guangyizi' to the treasure house of Citi Mountain for refrigerated storage. Mo Lan has already used the Shenpin Youlianzi in the 2nd age mountain master stage, and wait for it It can be used after the 3rd age of evolution.

Send Hongpo back to Heiguo Mountain, and pick Heiti to Hulan Mountain to reclaim wasteland.

Immediately after that, the rough stone delivery work for the new year began.

Transport rough stones from the second rough stone mine to Mount Citigroup.

Then go to the barren plains, place ant eggs, and at the same time pick up a group of working worker ants, and send them to Hulan Mountain along the way.

Then go to the second rough stone quarry to carry the rough stone...

Back and forth, no waste of time.

The cycle went on and on, and soon all the ant colonies that were originally responsible for digging ant nests and reservoirs in the barren plain were transferred to Hulan Mountain.

The land reclamation work in Hulan Mountain officially started.

……

Time flies, early summer.

The throne of dominance sailed quickly into the Scarlet Mountain.

Another year of ripe fruit harvest time, mulberry and sugar palm are already waiting under the seed tree bestowed by the Scarlet Light God.

"Long Bai."

"Cymbidium."

"Sang. Sugar palm."

Meet and greet.

Mo Lan jumped to the ground.

There were also a few little spiders wandering around under the tree. When they saw Mo Lan, they immediately came up to them, checked carefully, and dispersed.

"Sang, how are you preparing? Is there any sign of breakthrough evolution?"

"Have!"

"That's good! You go back to the cave to rest and prepare. After harvesting the scarlet fruit bestowed by the gods, you will sleep and evolve."

"Ok!"

Sang Chi asked, "Where are Longbai, Qingfeng, and Hongfeng?"

Mo Lan quickly answered, "Green maple and red maple successfully evolved into 8th-age senior fighters last winter."

Long Bai said: "Their newly bred life seeds are planted in spring, and they must be kept in the territory to guard."

Green maple and red maple can be regarded as the younger generation cultivated by mulberry.

Now that Sang is going to evolve into the main level of the mountain, the most important thing about insect life, the green maple and the red maple should come over, in case something goes wrong...

Long Bai looked up at the crimson fruit on the tree, estimated that it would be a few days before it ripened, and said:
"Then I'll make another trip and let Cedar go to Kiwi Mountain to guard the territory of some green maple and red maple, and I'll take them over."

After finishing speaking, he put down the board and gave instructions, and the accompanying worker ants and blue ants landed along the board.

The little flame spider who had just left led thousands of flame spiders over and circled around Mo Lan.

These guys remembered Mo Lan.

I also know Long Bai, you are not welcome at all, there is a brave little flame spider crawling along the wooden board to the throne, rummaging through the spider silk bag...

And the flame spider circled around the blue ant, found that the abdomen was empty, and left disappointed...

"Go away. Go away."

Sugar palm chelicerae vibrate at high frequency to emit sound waves to drive away spiders.

"I'm going to find something to eat and come back."

Mo Lan buried her head in the jungle.

The reigning throne takes off empty...

It took four days to go back and forth to pick up the green maple and the red maple.

The reigning throne is placed in the cave where Sang lives.

After eating and drinking, Sang lay on the throne, adjusted his state, and used the force of ant honey to make the final sprint.

The crimson fruit bestowed by the gods is harvested maturely, and Long Bai directs the worker ants to quickly complete the refining.

The total output is 3000 God-bestowed Crimson Fruits, which are divided into two parts: 1000 pieces are kept for consumption after Sang evolves into the main level of the mountain; 2000 pieces are sold to the Baiwei caravan in the coming year.

In the next few years, the output of the Scarlet Light God-bestowed Seeds will be handled in this way, until the God-bestowed Scarlet Light Fruit can strengthen the ability of the mulberry and fire elements to the limit.

……

Sang's residence cave bursts out bursts of force fluctuations, and begins to sleep and evolve.

Green maple, red maple, and sugar palm stand guard outside the cave.

Sang didn't have the seed bestowed by the gods, so the evolution was much simpler.

I have eaten more than [-] kinds of god-given force food that increase the success rate of evolution, including god-given sky green persimmon seeds, white rice fruit, snake blood apricot, purple fruit kiwi, etc.

The evolution interval is also sufficient.

Guessing that there would be no major problems, Long Bai followed Mo Lan boredly into the tropical rainforest to hunt and kill large animals, and fed the little flame spiders under the seed tree bestowed by the Scarlet Light God.

After seven days,
Sang's living cave sent violent force fluctuations.

Long Bai and Mo Lan activated the soul-fixing ability induction at the same time.

"The state of the soul is stable!"

"Basically, it's a success."

"Are you about to wake up?"

"Let's go and have a look."

Mo Lan stood up cautiously and stretched out her hind legs.

The little flame spider lying on it understood, and ran down the ground along its hind legs.

The little flame spiders surrounding Longbai also backed away one after another, giving way.

After Long Bai and Mo Lan walked away, they swarmed towards the unfinished wild boar carcasses.

……

The evolutionary breakthrough formed a force vacuum, and the sugar palm, green maple, and red maple all retreated to the ridge.

Seeing the calm and composed steps of Long Bai and Mo Lan, he immediately understood that Sang's evolution had already been completed.

Peace of mind to wait.

In the middle of the night, the violent force fluctuations gradually subsided.

Activate the induction of the soul-fixing ability.

Mo Lan raised her forefoot and cheered: "Sang wakes up!"

"Wow!"

"Oh!"

Green maple and red maple followed suit, flapped their wings and took off, rushing down the mountain.

Long Bai hurriedly caught up with them and pushed them down, "Sang should be moulting and evolving right now, don't disturb it!"

--Yes!

Qingfeng and Hongfeng quickly calmed down, followed behind Longbai, and ran to the cave.

Evolving to the main level of the mountain, shedding the old shell, and the process of rapidly expanding the body is also dangerous. Once something goes wrong, it may be a broken leg, broken tentacles, or cracked carapace, or it may be fatal.

Mo Lan and Sugar Palm arrived later.

Everyone fell silent and waited with bated breath.

waited for a while,
Mo Lan was the first to be unable to hold back, and activated the soul-fixing ability induction again.

Sang's soul at the mountain master level has become stable and solid, beating regularly like a burning flame.

Mo Lan carefully unfolded her mental power, swept across, glanced back and forth, and happily announced: "Everything is going well, the evolution is successful!"

Green maple, red maple, and sugar palm who were waiting nervously breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Long Bai's mental power swept through, and Sang's newborn carapace had hardened, and his body length was fixed at about 3.4 meters. Among the Nine Star Cockroach fighters, this size is considered strong.

Peel off the thorns blocking the entrance of the cave.

Qingfeng and Hongfeng rushed into the cave.

--mulberry!

--congratulations!

——Master Sangshan?

- so awkward.

——Mountain Lord Sang?

——San, are you considering changing your name?
——Crimson light?Crimson Light Mountain Lord?

……

Sugar palm followed and squeezed into the cave, and helped deliver the three-gourd ant honey prepared in the corner to the throne, dumped it and fed it to Sang to replenish her energy.

Long Bai and Mo Lan lay at the entrance of the cave. After careful inspection and confirmation, they went into the jungle to hunt.

All the insects were busy around Sang.

Spend most of the night, eat and drink enough, rest and recover.

Come to the woods on the east side of the mountains together to test your abilities.

Sang was brewing, and opened his mouth, and a ball of flame spewed out, igniting a yellow bark tree not far away.

The imitation elytra-shaped wings spread out, and the black stripes could have flickered, sucking the flames from the yellow bark tree, and the fire was extinguished instantly.

Sang has mastered the two abilities as early as the advanced warrior stage due to eating the scarlet fruit bestowed by the gods.

Fire breathing and fire control are the basic abilities that all Zerg warriors with awakened fire talent can comprehend.

The two-winged black spot absorbing flames is the innate ability of the Nine Star Cockroach Warrior.

—Is there any more?

——Shouldn’t the Master of Evolution Mountain be able to comprehend a new ability of his own?

Under the gaze of a dozen eyes, large and small, Sang slowly lowered his head...

I buried my head in thought, thought for a while, and brewing, 9 crimson fireballs the size of lychees floated out from the black spots on the wings, controlled, flying and floating above the head, forming a circle, and slowly rotating.

Don't wait for everyone to ask.

Sang turned around, fixed his eyes on a falling rock beside the ditch, locked his mental power, and shot out a crimson fireball like a lychee, and the original energy exploded and spread.

With the creaking sound, a puff of white smoke rose from the boulder, and it instantly fell apart.

This ability...

A little fierce!
Sang turned around and aimed again at the yellow bark tree that had been burned to the ground with only the trunk and a few branches. With a slight flick of the tentacles, another red fireball was shot out.

Boom.

White smoke rose from the wet trunk, and the trunk was ignited, burning and turning into coke in just a few breaths.

——What ability is this?
——It’s not the talent of Nine Star Cockroach, right?

- So strong!
--sharp!
——Except for the ghost fan, no worm can block such a blow!
……

Green Maple and Red Maple chattered loudly.

With a thought, Sang thought, the remaining 7 fireballs suspended above the head retracted the black spots on their wings, and said unsatisfactorily:
"Strictly speaking, I evolved to the mountain master level, and I only comprehended this ability."

Mo Lan reassured: "Strictly speaking, everyone seems to be similar."

Guanglang echoed, "Yes, Sang, objectively speaking, your ability is stronger than Mo Lan's."

"Ok?"

Mo Lan swung her tentacles and knocked on the palm of the palm.

Long Bai saw a clue, and asked, "Sang, is there a limit to this ability?"

limit?Sang pondered for a while, and after feeling for a while, replied: "Yes! This kind of fireball, which can be highly condensed originally, takes time to absorb the original force and re-condense after being used and consumed."

Sang: "I am Nine Star Cockroach, I only have 9 black spots on my body, and I can only prepare up to 9 such fireballs."

Super powerful fire attack ability, but there is a strict quantity limit.

Sang said depressedly: "It seems that you can only increase the power, not the quantity."

Green maple and red maple have a pair of eyes...

Qingfeng: "That's even more powerful!"

Red Maple: "Regular fire-breathing ability against common termites."

Qingfeng: "Save the fireball for the termite king!"

Red Maple: "Or keep it as a killer move and use it in a critical situation."

Qing Maple: "We should give the new ability a name."

Red Maple: "Sang is a fighter of the Nine Star Cockroach, so he is called 'Nine Stars'."

Upon hearing the name, Mo Lan regained her spirits, "Nine Stars is not an appropriate name! I have a better one..."

Mo Lan raised her forefoot, pointed at the red sun in the sky, and said, "Jiuyang, how are you?"

Qingfeng: "Good name!"

Red Maple: "Mo Lan, you are too powerful."

Qingfeng: "Then it's settled!"

Red Maple: "Everyone listens to Mo Lan, it's called 'Jiuyang'."

Mo Lan: "Sang, what do you think?"

mulberry:"……"

Sang: "...it's pretty good."

Sang successfully evolved to the master level of the mountain, and the actual test test shows that the ability to awaken is also quite powerful.

It's something to celebrate.

Mo Lan went into the jungle to hunt.

Long Bai went to the river to catch fish, added the snake bones and pork bones from the previous few days, added various spices, and simmered it into a pot of thick and fragrant soup.

Everyone gathered under the tree bestowed by the Crimson Light God, eating, drinking and celebrating for two days.

something happened,

Long Bai sends Qingfeng and Hongfeng back to Kiwi Mountain.

Send Molan to South Suanzao Mountain to take care of the two god-given seeds of Lidou and red juniper.

There are so many things this year,
After the land reclamation work in Hanlan Mountain is completed, according to the plan, the ant colony will be transferred eastward to the Red Cypress Mountain, and the Red Cypress Mountain will continue to be reclaimed, where cypresses will be planted on a large scale.
