Astral Ants

Molan Continent.

The reigning throne came to the cave again with rice on it.

A few years ago, Long Bai and Ghost Fan had visited the territory twice in winter, and opened a 5 cm diameter hole in the center of the metal gate.

"can!"

Baifan approached the sensor and gave an answer.

Long Bai placed the ruling throne in front of the door.

Standing on the throne, Baifan just reached the hole, the left antennae passed through and touched the stone wall, the original energy gathered the tip of the antennae, and continuously activated the 'soil improvement' ability.

It looks very laborious.

after a long time,

Baifan pulled back the tentacles, and pulled out a long string of crimson gravel, manipulated by the soil system ability, condensed to form a stone ball with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters, and flew down towards Longbai.

Long Bai raised his claws to catch it, took a brief look, and said, "Baifan, the waste soil and stones dug out are condensed into cubes, which are convenient for stacking."

Long Bai flicked his tentacles, and pointed to the empty cave behind him.

"Understand!"

Rice continued to work.

It took a lot of effort to destroy a piece of stone wall.

The soil ability manipulated to take out the gravel, condense it into square bricks, and threw it to Long Bai.

Long cypresses are placed against the rock wall of the cave.

Exercising the 'soil improvement' ability to the limit twice in a row, Baifan's original force was exhausted, and he recovered while lying on the throne.

Long Bai leaned forward, launched the soul-fixing ability to sense, and observed the activities of the ant colony outside.

"Longbai Ant King, do you and Mo Lan have to move to the Mo Lan Continent?"

"It can also be the Longbai Continent next door."

"Do you have to move?"

Baifan asked again.

Long Bai: "Not necessarily. If you really can't find a stable soil to take root in, or if you are strongly rejected by their local Zerg, then you have to give up. I have the advantage of blue soldiers and I am not afraid of naval battles, but I can't compete with the entire continent. Zerg confrontation. Migration is for development. Peace is for development."

Bai Fan agreed, and said, "It makes sense! If there is no peace, it is better to leave early. Perhaps, the world outside the sky is more vast and the force is more abundant."

Long Bai asked back: "Baifan, what about you? Are you and Wufan going to move together?"

Baifan: "It depends on the situation. Wufan and I don't have the God-given Seed of Life Seed, so it would be nice to be able to evolve to King Level."

This is true.

Evolution after the king level costs at least 4000 to [-] million rough stones in each age, and a seed bestowed by the gods of rice cannot support rice and black rice.

Long Bai: "Theoretically speaking, with the territory of Baifan Mountain, one or two god-given seeds will inevitably be born in the long hundreds of years. However, there is a greater probability that they may die young or be left behind."

Baifan: "Wufan and I spend time searching the forest four times every year in spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Long Bai: "Ah..."

Long Bai: "Then one day we will find it."

Baifan: "Thank you for your good words! I hope I can find it soon."

Baifan: "Longbai Ant King, I remember you once said that in the Ten Thousand Races Continent, most of the land is primeval forests that are not occupied by insects."

Long Bai: "Yes."

Baifan: "Isn't Molan particularly good at searching for the god-given seed? If you successfully sneak into the Molan continent, you can take it with you and sneak into the insect-free area of ​​the mainland to search for it."

Long Bai: "I have this idea. However, we need to clarify the situation first. I have a bad premonition..."

Baifan: "What premonition?"

Long Bai: "The opposite continent is most likely ruled by the ants and bees. If this is the case, then there will be no mountain and a forest without an owner."

Baifan: "...it shouldn't be such a coincidence."

……

It's not a matter of coincidence.

From the current point of view, there are only two modes of survival in the Star Continent, one is ruled by the ants and bees, or the coexistence of thousands of races, the two must be one.

Why did the Kingdom of Flame Spiders choose leafcutter ants to cooperate in guarding the gate?Mostly, the Molan Continent is dominated by the ant and bee tribes.

……

Assisted by the throne of domination, Baifan quickly recovered his original strength, and once again put his tentacles through the hole, activated the soil improvement ability, and destroyed the stone wall fortification.

After a while, he once again controlled a group of broken stone chips to be taken out from the hole.

Repeatedly many times, a large enough space was dug out of the stone wall behind the metal gate, and the white rice was slightly changed. Each time, the original force was exhausted before stopping. When the accumulated gravel particles were enough, they were taken out. Press it into large bricks half a meter long, [-] to [-] centimeters wide, and more than ten centimeters thick.

Long Bai was in charge of the stacking, and every time he had a rest to recover, he would step forward and lie down on the crack of the door, and activate his soul-fixing ability to observe the movement on the opposite side.

The activity of the ant colony is very regular. They go out of the nest to work in the morning, and return to the nest to rest at night.

In order to avoid the vibration of the falling gravel from attracting the attention of the ant colony, Bai Fan adjusted his work and rest, staggering it, working at night and resting during the day.

The metal gate is too strong, and it took four or five months for the ghost fan to open a five-centimeter hole.

The farther away from the hole, the more difficult it is to operate the rice.

with difficulty,
Half a month later, a layer of 10 centimeters thick was scraped off the stone wall blocking the door, and the heavy metal gate could also be pushed forward 10 centimeters, opening a gap four to five centimeters wide.

The tentacles of Baifan can display their abilities through the crack of the door, and the difficulty of operation has been reduced suddenly.

Another half month later, the door was pushed forward by 30 centimeters, and the activity of rice tentacles was no longer restricted, and the work efficiency was maximized.

Another month later, the gate opened a wide crack of 1.2 meters wide, and Long Bai, who was slightly fat, was able to squeeze through by turning his body sideways.

Cypress can squeeze through, and other insects can basically pass through.

The high-strength stone wall in front of the door has also been dug through, and the back is black natural rock, which has been strengthened, but the strength is not high.

Baifan quickly dug out a cave about 4 meters in diameter.

Long Bai lay down in the cave, sensed it with the ability of calming the soul, observed it for a day, and confirmed again that the current location is at the foot of a big mountain, and it is located inside the mountain.

The mountain is located at the northern end of the island, and further north is the divine power barrier. There are almost no ant colonies going up the mountain.

"Baifan, here is a 60-degree steep slope, digging down. It is semi-circular arched, with a width of about 4.4 meters at the bottom and a height of about 2.2 meters. Dig in the northwest direction. Be careful not to make loud noises. Very sensitive."

After making a simple estimate, Long Bai initially decided on a simple excavation plan.

"it is good!"

Bai Fan agreed, passed his head through the crack of the door, and swayed his tentacles up and down, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Longbai Ant King, where is the northwest direction? I've been in the dark cave for a long time, and I'm confused."

"there!"

Long Bai raised his claws to carve on the ground, marking an arrow.

Baifan: "Okay!"

Long Bai squeezed out of the cave.

Baifan went in and started working.

First use the ability of 'soil improvement' to break the rocks, plan and gather them carefully with claws, activate the ability of soil system, and condense them into square bricks of standard size.

Long Bai ran back and forth, moving bricks and stacking them in the wide cave.

While digging, Baifan used earth and rocks to reinforce the rock wall.

The ability is used frequently, and the original force is quite large. If you dig two meters forward, you have to stop and rest on the throne to recover.

Six days later, Long Bai estimated that the passage had penetrated more than 50 meters into the ground, so he ordered Baifan to change to a small slope of 30 degrees, and excavate towards the northwest direction obliquely.

Another 20 days later,
Long Bai estimated that the passage had penetrated 150 meters below sea level, and ordered Baifan to dig forward horizontally.

Continuing forward, the water seepage on the stone wall of the channel has become serious, and it is about to be dug through.

Both Longbai and Baifan were extra careful.

Two days later...

"Longbai Ant King, I can feel it, about 20 meters ahead is the deep sea."

Rice reminder.

"it is good!"

Long Bai sensed his soul-fixing ability, thought about it left and right, and said, "Baifan, go back to the cave first."

At 150 meters on the bottom of the sea, the water pressure is terrifying. Once it is suddenly opened or collapsed unexpectedly, the surging seawater may hurt Baifan.

Longbai has a better way.

With the ability to control water, manipulate a stream of water to rotate rapidly to drill holes, and drill a hole with a diameter of four to five centimeters forward. Combined with the ability to freeze, it controls the penetration of seawater into the channel at a gentle rate.

Gradually let go, and the entire excavation channel is filled with seawater.

Long Bai dived alone, using his splitting ability, cutting the rock, cutting the last 20 meters.

Finally, I used the Throne of Dominion to carry the white rice to the last passage to clean up the gravel and strengthen the stone wall.

A solid undersea tunnel sneaking into the Molan continent was built.

Having been busy for more than three months, Long Bai and Baifan were both physically and mentally exhausted. They first returned to Yunji Continent, went fishing at sea, ate and drank enough, slept and rested for a day, adjusted to the best condition, and set off late at night. (end of this chapter)
