Astral Ants

Chapter 357
Long Bai and Mo Lan were not foolish enough to guard the Tilia Kingdom.

Go back to the barren plain at night, or participate in training, or hunt in the mountains, and at dawn, go to the mountain near the Tilia worm country, find a shady place to hide, sleep and rest.

Time passes day by day.

A night of cool wind and cold rain suddenly ended the hot early autumn.

The long rainy days are getting colder every day, the maple trees are covered with yellow leaves, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it is bleak in late autumn.

Suddenly, there was a hunting wind that lasted for several days, and late autumn when the fallen leaves were falling.

Time is passing, but there is still no movement in Tilia worm country.

Long Bai's tense heart relaxes day by day.

From the north, the continuous cold wind, rain after rain.

Snow on the top of the mountain.

The temperature is getting colder and it's winter time.

No northern bug will choose to sleep and evolve in the cold winter.

Long Bai was completely relieved, but he didn't dare to be careless, as always, he waited patiently until the snow fell...

There will never be insects evolving in the cold winter covered with ice and snow. This is a natural law, and it is the nature of the Zerg race. The lord-level life level is not enough to completely change the nature.

The giant head ant is afraid of the cold, the training of the ant army is suspended, and the ant colony retreats into the depths of the ant nest for the winter.

All the Zerg warriors who were nervously waiting for the battle also breathed a sigh of relief.

We still have a year to prepare.

There is a 40-day break in winter.

Shanshi misses its persimmons every day, and Longbai sends it back to Yinbai Mountain.

Send the green maple and red maple back to Kiwi Mountain, and send Baifan and Wufan back to Baifan Mountain. Their territories have been completely emptied in the past few months, so take this time to go back and take care of them.

Bai Liu's territory is also free, but it is not good at managing the territory. Long Bai and Mo Lan went to help clean it up, and also went to other places of origin to check on the way to make sure it was correct.

……

The king and queen of berberberry ants are used to sleeping and evolving in autumn, but it is not ruled out that they may suddenly change to evolve in spring or summer.

After a brief repair and supply, Long Bai hastily brought back the scattered insects back to the barren plain, and gathered them to stand by.

As the weather warmed up slightly, Long Bai and Mo Lan went to the hills near the Tilia chrysanthemum country to guard during the day.

The time wheel is spinning, the ice and snow are melting, and it is the new year of the new year.

The ant colony came out of the nest and continued to practice the battle formation.

The elite team headed by Guishan also resumed daily training.

After a long period of running-in, everyone has been able to communicate with each other, adjust their paces uniformly, and change formations at will.

……

early summer.

White rice, black rice, green maple, red maple, juniper, giant cypress, and emerald cypress, pinching the gaps, complete a sleeping evolution in sequence.

The age evolution of all backbone combat forces has met expectations.

Molan and Ghost Fan have the highest evolutionary level, and they are the 4th-year-old mountain masters.

Rice is next, and the third-year-old mountain master.

The other fighters and commander ants who participated in the battle are all 2-year-old mountain masters.

The expeditionary army is fully prepared and ready to fight at any time.

……

late summer.

The number of mountain master-level specialized soldier ants and large-scale soldier ants reached 1350, and the complete fourth army was formed.

Soldier ants are carnivorous.

Food has always been a big issue.

Long Bai took Mo Lan with him and kept watch during the day, wandered and hunted in the mountains and forests at dusk, and returned to the barren plain late at night to practice the ant army.

Every now and then, I have to spend a whole day on a long trip to hunt.

……

The red sun hangs high.

The autumn wind chills.

20 kilometers to the west of Tilia chrysalis country, on an inconspicuous mountain, under a big pine tree, on the ruling throne, lying on her back with her six legs facing the sky, Mo Lan, who was half asleep and half awake, was startled suddenly, her wings flapped, her body rolled sideways and fell to the ground .

"Long Bai!"

"Long Bai!"

"Long Bai!"

Mo Lan jumped up, jumped on the throne, flapped her wings, and shouted: "Don't sleep! Wake up! Let's fight!"

Long Bai woke up with a start, and was puzzled for half a second. The whole ant suddenly regained its clear consciousness and focused on sensing.

Mo Lan restrained her wings, waited for two seconds, and said firmly: "It's the force fluctuation of sleeping evolution! I'm familiar with it! It can't be wrong!"

Mo Lan's induction has never been wrong!
Without much hesitation, Long Bai controlled the Throne to take off, flying slowly at low altitude, close to the mountains and forests.

Hold up the hydrological shield, cover the ruling throne, and cover up the flying force fluctuations.

There can be no last-minute mistakes.

Carefully approaching the edge of the field of force, the throne docked, sneaked in on foot, and came to the preset mountain where the army was assembled.

At close range, Long Bai also clearly sensed the regular force fluctuations in the center of the place of force.

And there are two strands, rising and falling together, alternating ups and downs, gently absorbing the natural force.

That's right!

Can't go wrong!
It means that the king of whiteberry ants and the queen of redberry ants are sleeping and evolving at the same time.

The ability to stabilize the soul unfolded, scanning the surroundings.

Make sure there are no bugs.

"Mo Lan, follow the plan! You stay and wait."

"it is good!"

"Don't act rashly. If you find other Zerg fighters or patrolling termite teams, avoid them carefully. Don't show your face."

"I know!"

"Okay. You just wait here."

After repeated instructions, Long Bai returned to the ruling throne, took off in a low-key manner, away from the place of force, and flew back to the barren plain.

……

It's half afternoon.

One after another, everyone woke up and was chatting and eating in front of a big iron pot. When they saw Long Baitian returning, they all jumped up.

The ruling throne approached, and seeing that Mo Lan was not on the throne, he immediately knew that it was time to start the war.

Long Bai mobilized his mental strength, "It's started!

Long Cypress: "Junipers, giant cypresses, and green cypresses, arrange for the ant army to eat and wait in line when they are full."

"Yes!"

The juniper, giant cypress, and cypress clanged their promises, and returned to the nest to organize a team.

Long Bai relaxed his mental strength, and said to the crowd: "There is no hurry, everyone is full and let's go."

--I am full!

- Don't eat it!

——Let's go!
——My thunderbolt is ready to go!I want 1 calls!

— Red Maple, be quiet!

The Zerg warrior at the mountain master level has used pandan seeds, a fruit bestowed by the gods, and one meal can last ten days and a half months.

Long Bai was not too polite, he loaded the ghost fan, mountain persimmon, spruce and rice, and set off at a gallop.

The Tilia worm country meets Molan.

Yunshan has also eaten the soul-fixing fruit, which has the ability to fix the soul. Together with Mo Lan, they alternately use their abilities to sense the situation within 4 kilometers around them, and are always on guard.

Long Bai then returned to the barren plain.

The second trip transported mulberry, green maple, red maple, and black rice to Tilia chrysalis country, where they joined the team and waited lurkingly.

Long Bai returned along the planned marching route. Along the way, every time he passed a supply point, he landed and released pheromones, leaving guide marks.

Return to the barren plain.

The ruling throne is equipped with juniper, giant cypress, green cypress, and white willow.

Long Cypress was occupying the top of the backrest of the throne, waving its tentacles and giving instructions.

The fourth soldier ant army went first, jogging and marching along the guidance of pheromones.

The first, second, and third blue army regiments set off in sequence.

The army gradually pulled away, over mountains and ridges, winding for 6000 meters.

Long Bai drove the throne of dominance to speed up, flying at the forefront of the team, and gave the command: speed up!
The team speeds up.

Every 3 kilometers is a supply point. The soldier ants passing by swallow a rough stone, dip it in their tentacles, and eat a mouthful of ant honey.

Replenish the force and continue running.

Under Long Bai's control, the ant army was advancing in an orderly manner.

The ground journey was more than 400 kilometers and arrived at the destination late at night.

The ant army occupied the entire mountain, repairing the array and restoring its original strength.

The Cypress Ice Plate simulates the topography of Tilia wormland, and gathers the main forces of juniper, giant cypress, emerald cypress, ghost fan, spruce, rice, etc. to discuss together.

"Bai Liu, fly higher and do some high-altitude scouting. First, check to see if there is any error in our map."

"OK--"

Bai Liu went straight into the sky, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

Return soon.

"Longbai Ant King, there are no major problems with the map, but there are many small problems in details..."

Long Bai's tentacles pointed, gestured for the marching route, and said, "Bai Liu, please give me some pointers on which problems may affect our marching and fighting."

Bai Liu thought and thought, then stared at the ice plate map for a while, raised his paw and said, "The western slope of this mountain range is steep, so it's not suitable for marching."

"it is good!"

"It's a problem, but it doesn't affect it."

Cypress controls the deformation of the mountain slope on the ice plate, and slightly modifies the route by depicting the tentacles.

Bai Liu raised his claws to point to the center of the ice plate, and said: "I found that every force plant is surrounded by a stone wall with a height of 5 meters, which is not marked on your map of Dragon Cypress Ant King... "

Long Bai asked, "Wall?"

Bai Liu: "Yes. There is a large circle around each life-planting tree. It is relatively wide, and there are termite soldiers guarding the walls."

Long Bai: "Oh!"

Long Bai: "What is the approximate diameter?"

Bai Liu: "..."

Bai Liu: "It's not the same size. It depends on the size of the life plant."

Long Cypress: "That means the plants are planted close to each other? Or relatively close?"

Bai Liu: "Yes."

Long Cypress: "The high wall is not conducive to ventilation, and it is not conducive to the growth of life-growing plants. The king of whiteberry ant and the queen of redberry ant are indeed on guard. This should be temporarily added before they sleep and evolve. After mastering the ability of the soil system, they will sleep and evolve again." Just dismantle it..."

Long Bai analyzed, on the ice tray, he added walls to all the life plants, "White Liu, is there any more?"

Bai Liu: "The terrain problem is gone, but..."

Long Bai: "What about the distribution of troops?"

Bai Liu: "10 Zuo Wangs, I saw 6 of them, but they were too far away to tell whether they were lords or mountain lords."

Long Bai: "Where are the soldier ants and worker ants? How many soldier ants are hidden inside and outside the walls of each life-growing plant?"

Bai Liu: "I can't see the situation inside the wall because of the cover of the branches."

Bailiu: "Outside the wall...surrounding the palace, there are about 1000 soldier ants guarding it. There are two large gardens planted with life-growing plants, and soldier ants can be seen patrolling. According to my estimation, there are about 1000 soldier ants guarding each. Then there are a few more Worker ants, 5 in a team cross-patrol, there are a lot of them.”

Bai Liu: "As for the points where the nests reside, I haven't seen any termite activity, probably because they sleep at night."

This is very detailed!

Long Bai praised: "Bai Liu, you've done a good job. The current situation is almost in line with what we predicted. However, you can't take it lightly. Go out again, take a closer look, and focus on the nests everywhere."

Long Bai: "I suspect that the soldier ants scattered in different nests have been transferred back to the palace to guard the evolution of the king and queen."

Bai Liu: "Very likely! I think there must be many soldier ants hiding inside the palace."

Mo Lan raised her paw and said, "I'll sneak up and go to the nests No. 1 and No. 2 to see?"

"No! Be careful to startle them."

Long Bai shook his tentacles to deny it, tapped the ice plate map with his forefoot, and said: "Bai Liu, scout at high altitude, turn around twice more, and take a closer look. Think about what other issues may affect our marching and fighting."

"it is good!"

Bai Liu went straight into the sky.

Long Cypress greeted Ghost Fan, Spruce, Molan, Juniper, Giant Cypress, and Green Cypress, and explained the marching route and battle plan to them again.

Almost finished speaking once.

Bai Liu returned again.

There is no major problem with topographical maps.

The distribution of soldier ants did not change.

Still did not see any soldier ants in the branch nests.

Long Bai: Explore again!
