Astral Ants

Chapter 363

The banquet starts at noon, and everyone gathers to chat after they are full, and lasts until dusk.

The barley bug fighters bid farewell one after another and dispersed.

Long Bai led the insects to the front of the termite palace again.

A large ant nest built on the plain with the ability of earth and stone looks quite magnificent.

The lower part is connected as a whole, and the upper part is decorated with high and low spiers.

The two spiers are particularly high, about 50 meters, representing the king and queen of the termite kingdom.

Surrounded by ten spiers of different heights, representing the ten kings.

"We have to admire the construction ability of termites. This ant nest can be used directly with a little modification."

Long Bai stood in front of the entrance gate of the ant nest, looked up, pointed at the termite pattern carved on the arched door beam with his claws, and said:

"It's gaudy! Master Baifan, do me a favor, the ability has softened, wipe it off."

"Row!"

Baifan stepped forward to use the soil ability, and the soil and rocks that portrayed the picture were soft, and then used the soil control ability to smooth the pattern, and then strengthened it with the hardening ability of the soil and rock.

Long Bai climbed up the wall. He could have gathered his toes and waved his claws to carve. Soon, a lively giant ant was depicted. Changed its position, and carved a pattern of a flower mantis warrior.

The insects were speechless.

Long Bai slowly crawled to the ground, and officially announced: "From today, this is the first sub-nest of the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom in the Tilia Kingdom!"

Long Bai raised his claws and pointed upwards, and said: "This steeple is eye-catching. Lord Baifan, stay and help for a while, and remove all of them! Including the steeples of the nests in other places, remove them all and replace them with unpretentious flats. The top is good. The project volume is quite large, and I will pay you on a monthly basis. I will give you a salary increase, 1500 rough stones/month."

Baifan: "Okay! Longbai Ant King, the territory still needs to be managed by insects, and the red fox must be very worried about us. You send Wufan back to Baifan Mountain first."

Long Bai: "It's easy to say! Tomorrow morning, I will send the persimmon back to Yinbai Mountain."

Long Bai lowered his mental power again, and said: "Currently the situation in the Tilia worm country is not stable, if you can stay, try to stay as long as possible, and send everyone back to the territory in late autumn."

--it is good!

The insects agreed.

Shanshi raised its claws and reminded: "Longbai Ant King, it will snow in winter in the north..."

Long Bai: "...of course!"

The mountain persimmon shook its tentacles, pointed to the tip, and said: "There is abundant rain here in the Tilia worm country, and there should be heavy snow in winter. The design of such a spire should prevent heavy snow from accumulating on the top and crushing the ant nest. Changing it to a flat roof, at the same time, it seems, also has the effect of ventilating the ant nest in winter."

Right!

The soil and rocks are already heavy, and if they are covered with snow, they will easily collapse!

The insects suddenly realized.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai looked at Baifan.

Rice: "It can be changed to a soft dome, or a four-sided, six-sided, or eight-sided inclined roof."

"Okay! I'll watch and change it in a few days." Long Bai waved his tentacles and greeted:
"Let's go to the treasure house and divide the wealth inside!"

……

The treasure house of the termite kingdom is located on the dry upper layer of the ant nest. There are 4 buildings in total, and a large number of boxes made of earth and stone are placed neatly inside.

Uniform standard, about 60 cm in length, about 50 cm in width, and about 40 cm in height.

I checked all of them, and most of them are empty, only a few of them still contain original food.

Judging by the color, you can tell that it was collected last year and was not finished.

The most important ones are God-given Redberry Seeds and God-given Tilia Seeds.

The god-given purple linden seeds that strengthen endurance are useful to everyone, count the number, and give points on the spot.

The god-given red barberry seed ghost fan can be used to count the quantity and calculate the value. The ghost fan can be eaten first, and the price difference can be made up later.

There are also a lot of common origin food, count the quantity, calculate the value, and distribute it according to the original stone.

Simple inventory is complete.

Juniper, giant cypress, and emerald cypress arranged for the ant army to enter the nest to rest.

Long Bai and Mo Lan arranged nests for the other insects to sleep peacefully.

……

The next day,

Before dawn, Shanshi waited at the royal cave where Longbai and Molan were resting.

Long Bai was speechless, so he set off early and went straight to Yinbai Mountain.

The distance is not very far, and we will arrive at the place at noon.

Looking at the well-ordered orchard and the familiar persimmon trees, Yamashi finally felt relieved.

After confirming that everything in the territory is safe, Long Cypress did not stay long, picked up the cedars, carried the ant colony, and returned to the Tilia worm country in the middle of the night.

Time to leave this day.

Cuibai commanded the ant colony, and with the help of Mo Lan, Ghost Fan, and Spruce insects, they dug out the trunk and underground root system of the god-given seed of Berberis, put it in the ant nest for now, and scraped it into powder for later use.

There are many jobs of all kinds.

the next morning,
Headed by Baifan, all the insects help to transform the spire of the palace.

The dragon cypresses and cedars commanded the ant colony to continue digging at the place where the original berberis seed bestowed by the gods took root, and dug a large pit with a diameter of 30 meters and a depth of 6 meters.

Fill the bottom of the pit with the carcasses of the king of whiteberry ants, queen of redberry ants, a group of termite queens, and a large number of termite worker ants.

The weather in early autumn was still a bit hot, and the corpses smelled a little, so quickly backfill a half-meter-thick layer of soil to cover it.

In the mid-afternoon, when it was busy, all the warriors of the Damai Chong tribe, mainly including Shanjing, Zhongpu, and Ronghua, came to visit.

After a brief greeting, the owner of Ronghua Mountain took the lead and said: "Longbai Ant King, the party the day before yesterday, regarding the land issue, you gave three proposals... After repeated evaluation and discussion, we decided to choose the third one."

The main road of Shanjing Mountain: "That is to say, take the caves where the soldiers live as the center, and use a radius of 1000 meters as a private territory; take the canal surrounding the central area of ​​Zilin Chong Kingdom as the center, measure 3000 meters outward, surround a large circle, and then Dig a ring-shaped canal with a width of 2 meters and a depth of 1 meter. The land between the inner and outer canals is the common territory of our barley bug warriors."

Long Bai: "Okay! Then let's start as soon as possible, first divide the land boundaries, and dig out the canals. While the owner of Baifan Mountain is still in the Tilia Kingdom, please use the soil system to strengthen it."

The owner of Ronghua Mountain: "This is the best."

Long Bai shook his tentacles, brought a group of blue soldiers, and greeted Molan, Guishan, Yunshan, Baifan and other insects, and followed all the soldiers of the Damai insect tribe to conduct field inspections.

There are spider silk ropes on the ruling throne, including the standard 10-meter rope measured by the flame spider tribe.

Measurements show that 100 blue soldiers, connected end to end, have a length of 220 meters. Excluding the undulating terrain, the distance in a straight line is almost 200 meters.

Use Blue Soldier as a measurement tool.

Taking the riverside as the starting point and measuring 3000 meters outward, Baifan used the ability of the soil system to erect stone pillars and mark them.

From busy morning to evening, circle around and hit 72 points.

The barley bug fighters can dig first, dig ditches, and connect the marked points to form a circle as a whole.

The amount of work is quite large, and Longbai will also arrange worker ants to help.

……

There are also some worker ants, blue ants, ant eggs, and larvae on the barren plain.

Early the next morning, Long Bai set off, made several round trips, and moved all of them here.

Cedar directed the work.

Long Bai led the blue soldiers, Ghost Fan, Yunshan, and Baifan, and continued to measure and divide the territory of private insects with the barley insect soldiers.

The barley worm warriors all live on the mountain, and the slopes and ridges cannot be measured accurately, so they can only be measured visually by Long Bai driving the ruling throne, floating in the air.

In the same way, Baifan erected a stone pillar to mark it with the ability of the earth system.

Go back and trim the land, dig a trench, and plant juniper trees around it as a boundary to divide the territory.

The complex terrain made the work extremely complicated, and it took nearly a month of busy work to complete all the marks.

It's time for the chilly late autumn again.

Long Bai and Mo Lan are worried about Xianglan Mountain.

Green maple, red maple, white rice, black rice, and white willow have been keeping their territories free of insects, so they are worried, and they all start talking about it.

After discussing, Long cypress first sent juniper, giant cypress, green maple, and black rice back to the territory.

The other worms stay and continue to help.
