Astral Ants

Chapter 4 Messenger, Guardian

Long Bai controls the ruling throne, flies out of the room through the hole in the wall, and scales to a size of about 15 centimeters in diameter.

After repeated running many times, he moved out the spider silk bag and the winter grain storage inside, and put it on the cushion of the throne.

tidy up,

Long Bai was lying on the seat cushion happily, holding the jerky with his two forelimbs and nibbling on it. He was distracted and manipulated with his mind. The Throne of Dominion flew along the passage and came to the exit of the starship.

Leaving the starship directly, flying low-key and close to the ground, returning to the territory.

The three cypress trees were all safe and sound.

Long Bai didn't know how many days the molting evolution had been sleeping, and there was a gap in the long-standing timekeeping. However, judging by the temperature, it was almost winter.

Although the cypress tree is a force plant, it is also restricted by the natural climate and follows the seasonal rules. Now it has almost stagnated in growth.

Long cypress moved the spider silk bag into the storage room of the ant nest, and carefully stored the newly bred fourth life seed, the cypress seeds, waiting for the next spring to sow.

At the 5th age of evolution, you can choose a plant seed to breed as a life seed.

What to choose?After repeated evaluation, Long Cypress chose the 'Giant Cypress' seed.

In the end, Long Bai manipulated the ruling throne to shrink, placed it in the bedroom of the ant nest, lay quietly on it, and silently absorbed the force to grow.

……

After many attempts, Long Bai became familiar with some of the functions of the ruling throne.

The Domination Throne can fly, but the speed is not good enough, which seems to be related to the strength of its own mental strength.

The Throne of Dominion has the function of storing force, and manipulating flight will consume force.

The stored force is infinite.

Compared with its stored force, the consumption of flying and traveling is simply insignificant, and it is almost difficult to find the consumption without careful identification.

Moreover, after the Force is consumed, the Throne of Dominion will absorb the Force of Nature on its own and replenish its reserves in time.

Moreover, when Long Bai is lying on the cushion, the ruling throne will automatically release the original force to cover the whole body to assist in cultivation.

Long Bai also tried to activate the 'messenger' function many times, but each time it was closed because of 'bad physical condition'.

It must be due to the excessive consumption of promotion to the 5th age.

Long Bai simply calmed down, and spent most of the day lying on the ruling throne, eating, absorbing the force, and occasionally going out, using a 'bucket' made of hollow branches to fetch water from a nearby stream pool, and watering the three cypress trees. exercise.

Three days later,
Tried to activate the 'Messenger' function again, but it still didn't work, but the physical condition changed from 'bad' to 'poor'.

After another 5 days, the Nth attempt.

The familiar blue light swept across the body, and the feedback information: [Messenger·Guardian·Force replica is being generated]

The next moment, an invisible suction came from the cushion under his body, which lasted for four or five seconds and then ended.

[Messenger·Guardian·Power is generated and enters the first stage of primordial energy]

Long Bai only felt that he was being sucked out, his limbs were weak, he stood up after a while, crawled and fell to the ground, climbed into the storage room, and took some jerky to eat.

After eating, I rested for a long time before recovering.

Long Bai's heart was full of surprise and doubt, he climbed up to the throne of domination again, and communicated with his mind.

No new instructions came out.

After repeated inspections, no abnormalities were found, so there should be no harm.

Long Bai looked forward to it.

Until the next day,
[Messenger·Guardian·Power enters the second stage of primordial energy, do you want to continue? 】

Two options: [Yes], [No]

Long Bai ran into the storage room, picked out two pieces of jerky and prepared them before choosing [Yes]

blue light sweeps,

Then, again, a large amount of physical energy was drained away.

Having had the previous experience, Long Bai calmly took a piece of shredded pork to eat, rested after eating, and spent half a day recovering to his prime.

Quietly lay on the ruling throne and waited for the result.

Another day passed,
[Messenger·Guardian·Power has entered the third stage of primordial gestation, do you want to continue? 】

There are still two options: [Yes] and [No]

Cypress choice 【Yes】

Eat, recover, wait.

On the fourth day,
[Messenger·Guardian·Power generated]

There seems to be movement behind the ruling throne.

Long Bai flapped his wings and landed, and went around to check.

On the originally tightly seamed spherical surface, a small hexagonal hole appeared near the center, inside which lay a white 'ball' with a diameter of less than one millimeter, with the breath of life and the breath of the original force.

"How do they look like ant eggs?"

Long Bai looked at it for a long time, his thoughts turned, and the invisible force of the original force pushed the 'ball' out.

Long Bai lightly stretched out his forefoot to catch it, and checked it repeatedly.

That's right!Living thing!
This is clearly an ant egg!
——The so-called 'generated messenger' of the ruling throne is to absorb energy from me and produce an 'ant egg'.

——That is to imitate the racial abilities of the ants and bees.

——The last struggle of the creator civilization...Could it be that this creator civilization imitates the queen of ants and queen bees, and reproduces a large number of so-called "messengers", which are used for combat and production to deal with the attack from human civilization.

——Mastering the throne of domination, one of my male ants also has the ability to 'lay eggs' in a disguised form...

Long Bai carefully placed the ant eggs on the ground, turned his mind three times, and solved many previous questions.

Only the most critical point is still unclear: How did I gain control over the throne?Because I evolved once on it?

There is no way to be sure.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for a while.

Long Bai gently held the ant egg in his jaws, moved it to the corner of the 'bedroom' and placed it on the wall, stared at it happily for a while, thought for a while, was worried, picked it up again, moved it to the ruling throne, and placed it on the soft cushion .

The Throne of Mind Communication received another message:

【Please select the messenger type】

【Guardian Strength】

【Producer・Agriculture】

"Guardians? Producers? What's the difference? Soldier ants? Worker ants?"

"The first ant egg is 'Guardian'..."

Cypress continued to try, this time selecting 'Producer'.

【Please select the quantity】

【quantity: 1】

【quantity: 2】

The so-called 'quantity' must be the number of ant eggs produced each time.

Production of ant eggs requires energy extraction.

1 ant egg is a bit difficult.

If you choose 2, I am afraid it will be too much.

Longbai Steady Choice【Quantity 1】

【Selection completed】

Blu-ray sweeps.

[Physical condition is not good, nutrition and physical fitness are deficient, please supplement in time, and match it with proper exercise]

【Messenger function off】

Long Bai: "..."

It took me three days to create an ant egg.

Due to 'poor condition' in the middle, we have to rest and recover.

It may take four or five days, or even longer, for the throne of domination to produce an ant egg.

This speed is far worse than that of the female ant queen.

In the case of sufficient food and force, the female ant queen of the giant head ant family can produce about 5 eggs a day.

"Creations from extraterrestrial civilizations, the soldier ants bred by the ruling throne should be stronger than the soldier ants bred by the female ant king?"

"Will it be weaker? After all, it is imitation, it is very likely."

"The creator civilization was destroyed by human civilization. And the starship of human civilization was torn apart by the god of nature."

"Natural gods are the most powerful beings."

"The Awakened Inheritance of the 1st Age says that 'the Zerg race was created by the God of Nature and is protected by the God of Nature'. From this, it can be inferred that the Zerg Race is stronger than human civilization and creator civilization..."

Long Bai felt that he had sorted out the logical relationship between the three, and was slightly disappointed for a while, but soon regained his spirits.

At any rate, I can train some helpers for fighting, hunting and managing the territory through the throne of dominance. Only with the help of worker ants can I be worthy of the title of "ant king".
