Astral Ants

Chapter 436 An Unsatisfactory Test

It's been a busy spring this year.

Longbai transported fruit seedlings from Xianglan Mountain to South Suanzao Mountain and Hanlan Mountain during the day, and returned to Molan Mountain to rest at night to take care of the god-given seeds of Quercus plesiculus.

Hei Ti is in charge of directing the worker ants to plant.

By the time I finished my work, it was already early summer.

……

Molan Mountain.

Two large termites emerged on the same day.

Led by Long Bai, they came to the seed tree bestowed by the god of Lei Gang oak.

"Long Bai!"

With the awareness bestowed by Lei Gangli, he called out intimately and asked, "Long Bai, are you done with your work?"

Long Bai: "No. There are many things this year."

"Where's Hei Ti? It's been a long time since I saw it."

"Hei Ti is also very busy. He is taking care of the spade seedlings in South Suanzao Mountain."

"Oh--"

"I may not be able to come here for a long time. I will send Xiangbai to take care of you."

"OK--"

Lei Gang's attention was attracted by two large green ants, and he asked, "Long Bai, can they also release the ability of 'prosperity'?"

"Yes! I just brought them here to test."

As Long Bai spoke, he shook his tentacles to give instructions.

A large green ant stepped forward and locked onto the trunk of Quercus regia, which could gather its tentacles and activate the ability of 'prosperity'.

Unsurprisingly, the 'prosperity' ability displayed by the large green ants is one level stronger than that of the large green soldiers.

However, it is still not ideal, only one-fiftieth of the strength of Long Bai's display.

After casting it once, the original force was exhausted, and symptoms of weakness appeared.

- Not quite.

Long Bai waved his tentacles and gave an order.

The second large green ant stepped forward and cast its 'prosperity' ability on Quercus regia.

Pretty much the same situation.

"Long Bai...is that all?"

Lei Gang was a little confused.

It has grown into a small tree in its early six meters, and it has begun to take shape.

I felt the ability of the two large green ants, but I didn't seem to feel anything.

This weak ability is insignificant to the current God-bestowed Seed of Lei Gang Oak.

"Lei Gang, this is a large green ant, and its ability is really weak. It's okay. In two or three months, the specialized green ant will be born. According to my guess, the specialized green ant can display the ability of 'prosperity' about as long as I am. One-twentieth of the power, only 20 specialized green ants take turns to use it, just like me. If there are 100, what about 1000? Lei Gang, think about it. The ant tribe wins by numbers."

"I know. But..."

Lei Gang: "They consume a lot of energy to use this ability, and they need to supplement food."

Long Bai: "Need to supplement meat."

Lei Gang: "I remember you said that food limits the size of the ant tribe's kingdom."

Lei Gang should be under the name of Long Bai, second only to Zhanlan's second smartest god-given seed.

The other god-given species only know how to urge and tell Long Bai to cultivate more wood-type ants.

Lei Gang, who had just awakened his soul consciousness for a month, already understood that without enough food, he couldn't feed more ants.

Long Bai was very happy, and said: "That's right. Due to food restrictions, I can't cultivate too many specialized green ants."

Long Bai: "However, it's not a big problem. In the future, I will train a large number of young soldiers, expand to the south along the divine power barrier, and expand the hunting range of the kingdom."

Lei Gang: "Why the green soldiers? Can't the blue ants do it?"

Long Bai: "In a few years, the flame spider caravan will also send a divine fruit called 'melaleuca fruit', which endows a wood-type ability called 'forest symbiosis'. Similar to plants, it can be passed through The light gets energy and synthesizes the nutrients needed by the body."

Long Bai: "Looking at the rules, there is a high probability that this ability can be passed on to the green soldiers and green ants. If it is pure hunting in the jungle, the green soldiers can save more food than the blue soldiers."

Long Bai: "In the same way, it is better to use small and medium-sized green ants and green soldiers for simple and effortless tasks such as killing pests in orchards and pruning fruit branches."

Lei Gang: "Understood."

Lei Gang made an analogy and said, "Long Bai, if you gain one or two more wood-type attack abilities and pass them on to Qingbing, then Qingbing can replace Lanbing and become the main fighting ants in the Ant Kingdom."

Long Bai: "That's right!"

Long Bai: "The idea is beautiful, but the specifics will not be known until I get the Melaleuca fruit and eat it."

Lei Gang: "Looking at the rules, it will definitely succeed!"

Lei Gang asked chatting again: "Long Bai, is it summer now? Is the dry season you mentioned coming?"

Long Bai: "It's early summer, it's not too hot..."

Lei Gang liked to communicate very much, and kept chatting until late at night, when he was exhausted, he gave up and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Longbai stayed in Molan Mountain, rested for five days before returning to Xianglan Mountain, took Xiangbai over, and took care of Lei Gang's god-given seed.

Long Bai himself rushed to Cedar Mountain and began to transfer rough stones to Citi Mountain.

Now, the Throne of Domination can transport 6 rough stones with a full load, but due to capacity constraints, it can only transport 6 at most.

Two trips a day, 12.

A total of 450 million rough stones took a full 38 days.

Midsummer dry season.

Cedar returned to Xianglan Mountain.

Longbai went back and forth between Molan Mountain and Hanlan Mountain, and the two places were busy.

...

late summer season.

The third batch of spades was harvested.

The first batch of spade trees to be transplanted has entered the fruitful period, and the harvest this year has been quite good, with more than 30 seeds.

...

Early autumn.

After more than half a year of development, the specialized green ant larvae finally cocooned one after another and emerged as feathers.

The actual test shows that it is not far from the prediction. The "prosperity" ability is only one-twentieth of the strength of Longbai. After using it twice in a row, the original force will be exhausted. It needs to eat meat to supplement nutrition and rest for a day to restore its full state.

Long cypress really can't afford to raise too many, so we form a team of 5, first arrange a team for each god-given seed, which means.

...

Mid-Autumn Festival.

Variation Molan seeds are harvested when mature.

The seeds were dried in the sun, and they were still divided into three parts, which were sown in Xianglan Mountain, Molan Mountain and Heilian Lake.

finished,

Long Bai went to Ghost Fan Mountain, picked up the ghost fan, and set off to the north together.

Passing Citi Hill, stop by Huang Ke.

……

As soon as the ruling throne entered the Tilia Kingdom, Mo Lan greeted him.

"Long cypress! Ghost fan! Yellow skewer!"

Mo Lan circled around the throne, flying synchronously to the left, hesitating to speak.

"Cymbidium."

Ghost Fan responded, and asked urgently: "Is the fruit of the seed bestowed by Jin He ripe?"

Mo Lan: "No. The golden myrobalan tree was not in its peak state when it first recovered, and it was delayed a bit. The ripening time of the golden myrobalan was delayed by one month, and it is late autumn."

Huang Chuan tilted his head and glared at Long Bai: the work on the mountain is not finished yet!You send it back to me.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Huang Xie is getting old, let's stay in the Tilia Kingdom for a month's rest. The ghost fan will replace Yunshan. Yunshan will go back to Citi Hill to work."

This arrangement is not impossible~
The yellow skewer tapped the tentacles in agreement.

The throne of domination accelerated and went straight to the seed bestowed by Jin He.

meet and greet,

Longbai's tentacles swung, swishing two 'prosperity' abilities.

Jin He: "Little ant, don't show off your weak wood ability, just scratch it."

Long Bai: "Courtesy is less important than affection. The seed bestowed by Jin He represents my respect and concern for you."

Jin He: "You hypocritical ant, are you concerned about the golden myrobalan? I hope it will mature sooner."

Long Bai: "That's yellow skewer. I mean it sincerely."

Huang Jie immediately said: "The seed bestowed by Jin He, I will stay here to chat with you. Huaqi Mountain still has some finishing work, so I will go back with Spruce..."

Jin He: "You katydid is very boring. I have nothing to talk to you about. It's about the same with this ant."

Jinhe old tree is very good at pulling.

Longbai stayed behind, chatted with it for a while, walked, visited Linnan, Huaqi, Yexiang, Zilin in turn, and finally came to the tree bestowed by the gods of Baibo.

"Longbai—"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Baibo greeted him proactively.

"White barberry."

Long Bai greeted, approached the trunk, activated the prosperity ability, connected the tentacles, and fired four consecutive shots.

Looking up.

The 6 white barberry fruits on the tree have gone through four rounds of fruit expansion and have completed their shape.

The fruit is elliptical, with sharp ends, green skin with white streaks, and a length of about 7 cm.

After about 3 years, the first batch of white barberry fruits can be maturely harvested.

"Longbai—"

Baibo called, and said: "I heard that they found my mutant family?"

Long Bai: "???"

White barberry: "Giant cypress, juniper, black leaf, black birch, and molan."

Long Bai: "Your family? Barberry tree?"

Baibo: "Yes."

Long Bai: "!!!"

Long Bai looked around, "Where is it?"

Baibo: "I don't know—"

Baibo: "I heard them discuss again, don't tell the other insects, and discuss it after you come over."

Long Bai suddenly realized that when they met just now, Mo Lan rushed over excitedly and wanted to say something, but after seeing Huang Chuan, she didn't say anything.

This must be the case.

Jubai, Molan and the ghost fan who had just arrived were all caught by Lin Nan Shenshu and trained.

The junipers, black leaves, and black birches are busy harvesting in autumn.

"very good."

Long Bai asked: "Baibo, where are the junipers probably busy?"

Baibo: "East? I listen to them chatting, and they seem to be picking pine cones in the past few days."

Baibo doesn't like to talk...

What about eavesdropping quietly?
"Okay. I'll be back as soon as I go."

Long Bai flapped his wings and took off, galloping away.
