Astral Ants

Chapter 505: The Guidance of the Quandong Sacred Tree, the Path to the Strongest
The cold wind howled.

The temperature on Mount Citi has dropped sharply in the past few days, and the snow has not yet fallen, but the lake below the mountain is already frozen.

A palace of knowledge that is warm in winter and cool in summer,
The wisteria lies obediently on top of the yellow skewer.

Huang Skewer was slowly swinging its tentacles, pointing to the pictures on the stone wall and explaining to the wisterias. His movements suddenly froze. After thinking for a while, he walked slowly to the outside of the cave, and lay down at the entrance of the cave to look around.

Seeing that the vines above my head were shivering from the cold, I took two steps back.

Tengluo: "Longbai Ant King and Molan Mountain Master..."

The Dominion Throne dragged its long blue tail of raw energy and landed tiltedly on the ridge near the Quandong Sacred Tree.

Tengluo: "It seems like something happened..."

Huang Ke: "It seems..."

Tengluo: "Didn't the Lord of Mount Molan say that he would go to the dangerous sea areas of the Molan Continent to search for God-given seeds this winter?"

Huang Ya: "Maybe we are in danger. Wait until they come up the mountain to talk."

……

"Quandong Sacred Tree!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan greeted each other.

"Longcypress Ant King. Mo Lan."

Quandong Divine Tree responded and asked slowly: "Are you in trouble again?"

Mo Lan: "Yes... it might be a bit troublesome..."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Is it just possible?"

Quandong Shenshu: "Just a few days after winter, you escaped from Molan Continent again."

Mo Lan: "This is called temporary evacuation..."

Mo Lan: "Quandong Sacred Tree, during this exploration, Long Bai and I learned some important information..."

Mo Lan spoke quickly and recounted the encounter on the Thousand Reef Islands.

at the end,

Mo Lan asked: "Quandong Sacred Tree, do you think the 'night' ability given by the divine pandanus fruit can block the soul-fixing fruit's induction?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Yes!"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Currently known, there are three categories that can block the perception of fixed soul fruit. The first category is what you just said, pandanus, a kind of soul-type divine fruit that has the ability to block spiritual power. "

"The second major category is certain special alloys. With the strengthening and blessing of original energy, they may have the effect of blocking the perception of soul-fixing abilities."

"The third major category is the carapace of some Zerg warriors, which may have the ability to block the induction of soul-fixing abilities. However, only one such Zerg has been found so far, the Dry Stone Green Carapace tribe to which Bai Zian belongs."

Mo Lan: "Oh——"

Mo Lan: "It's really terrible. We lost 230 square kilometers of land. On our way back, Long Bai and I have to go around Xiangsi Island and Shuangzhu Island."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, it is not a long-term solution for you to take risks like this."

Long Bai: "With the soul-fixing ability and the deep-sea diving ability of the ruling throne, under normal circumstances, there will be no danger."

Long Bai: "I was careless this time. I didn't expect that a dragonfly that is good at flying would come from the sky."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "You've been careless twice."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Longbai Ant King, your intelligence is far beyond that of ordinary Zerg, and your actions are prudent. Citigroup may have been negligent and did not ask more about the exploration of the southern hemisphere continent. Then I will give you a few words of advice."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Listen to the description, are you flying around on the throne of control?"

Long Bai: "Yes..."

Quandong Shenshu: "Not smart. In other words, Longbai, you rely too much on the throne of dominance, and your thinking is bound to the throne of domination. Think about it, if it is an ordinary worm, it will encounter other worms in the vast sea or on a deserted island. , will you shout and shout for no reason?"

Mo Lan: "...No way?"

Long Bai: "...it's not impossible."

Quandong Shenshu: "There is no benefit, and it may cause trouble. Normal insects will not do it."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Think about it again, what would you do if you encountered two weak insects in the vast sea or on a deserted island, but carrying a god-level creation of an extraterrestrial civilization?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "The great benefits are very close at hand, and the possibility of being discovered and getting into trouble is very slim. It must be killing insects and grabbing treasures, right?"

Mo Lan: "...Yes!"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Longbai Ant King, you have been sitting on the throne of control, thinking that if you encounter danger, you can use the throne to sneak into the deep sea to escape, right?"

Long Bai: "...Yes."

Long Bai: "Quandong Sacred Tree, I understand what you mean. Hiding the throne of control will minimize the possibility of conflict once other insects are encountered, which is safer."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "That's right. You should change your thinking."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Isn't your throne of control capable of shrinking? You try hiding it in your mouth. When needed, you can open your mouth and release it. It's just as convenient. Hiding something in your mouth will definitely not be used to it at first. Some time will be enough. In addition, you can also practice familiarizing yourself with the swallowing and swallowing movements. When encountering critical situations that require the use of the throne of dominion for deep sea diving, you can open your mouth and spit out things neatly."

Long Bai: "!!!"

Long Bai: "What a great idea!"

Mo Lan remained silent and jumped onto the throne, clearing away the debris on it.

As soon as Long Bai had an idea, the ruling throne shrank sharply, turning into a small ball with a diameter of 4 centimeters, and opened his mouth to take it in.

The Dominion Throne is heavy, and its weight does not change with size.

With the current strength of Longbai, it is still unshakable. It is hidden in its mouth, and it must be distracted to control it to move, levitate or move according to its own movements.

Long Bai tried to take a few steps, but he was not used to it and found it very difficult.

If you want to be proficient in operation, you must spend a lot of time practicing.

Opening his mouth, he controlled it with his thoughts, and the throne of control floated out again, enlarging it rapidly.

Long Bai: "The Quandong Sacred Tree has great wisdom!"

Mo Lan also sighed: "The Quandong Sacred Tree is so smart!"

"Little things. There are some small problems that you are not aware of. I'm just mentioning them by the way."

Quandong Sacred Tree pondered for two seconds, then changed the topic and said: "Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, I see that you two are coming and going, busy and disorganized, without a clear goal."

Mo Lan: "Yes——"

Long Bai: "Our goal is very clear, God-given seeds, wealth, and divine fruits that give power."

Quandong Shenshu: "There is still territory. The two of you are very obsessed with expanding territory."

Mo Lan: "The purpose of expanding the territory is to harvest more God-given seeds. Long Bai and I have planned that for every age evolution after the Mountain Lord level, we will use God-given seeds as life seeds."

Mo Lan: "Our evolutionary age only eats the food given by the gods and the fruits of the gods. We will become the richest and most powerful insects!"

"richest?"

"The most powerful insect..."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Do you know how to become the most powerful insect?"

Mo Lan: "You only eat God-given force food and divine fruits during your age evolution? If you eat the Insect King until the 9th instar, you should be the most powerful, right?" Quandong Sacred Tree: "How can it be so simple? So simple……"

Quandong Sacred Tree seemed to have been awakened to long-lasting memories, and with emotion, nostalgia, and reminiscence in its tone, it slowly said:

"There used to be insects in Citi Mountain. They had ideas similar to yours, and they started planning and putting them into practice from the mountain master level. Its name is 'Indigo', and it was born in the best of times. It awakened water and earth. The seven elemental systems of , wood, fire, wind, metal, and thunder, as well as the two systems of power and life.”

"!!!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan were stunned.

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Do you know how it evolved after being promoted to the Insect Queen?"

Mo Lan: "...I don't know."

Long Bai: "Please also ask Quandong Sacred Tree for advice!"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "The 1st-instar insect king, Indigo uses the water element ability to condense the three divine patterns of heavy snow, frost sky, and frost thorn light armor."

"???"

Long Bai and Mo Lan were confused and asked: Three divine patterns?
Quandong Divine Tree: "After the king level, at each age, by condensing a divine pattern, one can break through the shackles of the laws of nature, shed one's shell and evolve once, and gain a qualitative leap in strength. However, the True God of Nature does not stipulate that every Depending on your age, you can only condense one divine pattern. On the contrary, as long as you are talented enough, you can condense ten divine patterns."

Quandong Divine Tree: "However. After each age evolves, at least one divine pattern must be condensed before the next age can evolve."

Mo Lan: "I understand."

Long Bai: "That's it!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan saw a brand new world, with tentacles standing straight, waiting for the next step.

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Similarly, when Indigo was in its second age, it relied on its earth-based abilities to condense the three divine patterns of Sandstorm, Earth Cover, and Stone Thorn Heavy Armor, and evolved once after shedding its shell."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "By analogy, each age condenses three divine patterns until it evolves into the 9th-instar Insect King. Indigo should be the strongest. At the 9th-instar Insect King, it has the ability to fight against the laws of nature. Ability. The laws of nature called it to leave, but it didn’t want to leave, so it resisted with its ability and stayed forcibly, staying in the Force Star Realm for 30 more years.”

"!!!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan were stunned again and stood there waiting for the next step.

See Quandong Sacred Tree in silence for a long time.

Mo Lan asked: "What happened to the Quandong Sacred Tree?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "But unable to break through the suppression of the law of nature on the degree of evolution, unable to break through the king level, the mountain indigo still left."

Quandong Sacred Tree added speechlessly: "Last time you talked about Tianshuang Sacred Tree? That fellow Tianshuang saw that the mountain indigo is powerful, so he ran away."

"Forehead……"

Long Bai and Mo Lan were speechless.

Quandong Shenshu sighed softly: "So, later, Citi Mountain no longer allowed to do this. Later, the calamity of Chimai Mountain broke out, and the golden age of the original force was over, and so many elemental talents could not be gathered together. A divine fruit. There has never been a Zerg warrior with super understanding like Indigo."

Super savvy?
Long Bai: "Quandong Sacred Tree, what do you think of my understanding?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Mo Lan is very good. You seem to be a little slower."

Long Bai: "Oh——"

Mo Lan: "Hey~hey~hey~"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Every life should have its own goal, and such a life is meaningful. If you are determined to become the strongest warrior, Indigo is a very good reference. Of course, the top of the mountain is not the only one."

Long Bai and Mo Lan moved their tentacles.

Quandong Sacred Tree: "It is the most difficult to gather 9 kinds of talents, and the abilities are relatively simple. After awakening the talents, you will naturally have the opportunity to understand the abilities during the evolution process. In the future, you will evolve to the king level, eat the fruits that give abilities, and it will take some time to understand its abilities. , there is no need to wait for the shedding of the shell to evolve. The fruit that gives the talent still needs to sleep and evolve once. Therefore, if you want to learn from Indigo's method, the elemental talent should be given priority, followed by the elemental ability."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Long Bai has awakened to have three elements: power, water, and wood. Mo Lan only has two elements: wind and wood."

Mo Lan added: "Long Bai just ate the mountain pillar fruit that gives the earth element talent!"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "I know. I hope it can happen."

Quandong Shenshu: "You have an unprecedented advantage, that is, you can communicate with the four major continents of Ten Thousand Races, Ten Thousand Nations, Wang Lan, and Zhibai at the time of the original force at the same time."

With more continents to communicate with, the chance of finding the corresponding divine fruit will naturally increase.

Quandong Divine Tree: "You have a large number of god-grade fruits, and you are qualified to ask the flame spider caravan of the Ten Thousand Races Continent to find the god-grade fruits you need. The flame spider caravan communicates with each other. There is only one reason why the caravan cannot be found: not enough profit."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Another way of thinking is to buy the needed divine fruits from the caravan at super high prices."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "The God-given Seed of Life that you currently have is enough to support you in doing so."

Mo Lan: "Long Bai and I still owe the caravan 1200 million rough stones."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "The shortage of raw stones is only temporary. You and Long Bai have both evolved to the lord level, and the seeds given by the gods are fertile. 1200 million is nothing at all."

Cymbidium:"……"

Mo Lan: "Super high price?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "It's up to Longbai Ant King to consider this."

Long Bai: "I'll try to communicate with the caravan first."

Mo Lan was a little unhappy.

It feels like I’m constantly in debt.

Finally, there is hope that all debts can be paid off...

Mo Lan: "Quandong Sacred Tree, doesn't it say that it is difficult to condense the divine patterns?"

Quandong Divine Tree: "It's very difficult. For most Zerg warriors, every time a divine pattern is condensed, it's extremely difficult to kill."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "However, with more awakened elemental talents, more diverse abilities, and more choices, it will be relatively simple."

Long Bai: "Quandong Sacred Tree, I would also like to ask, how does the insect king condense the divine patterns?"

Quandong Divine Tree: "It's very simple. Understand your own abilities. The easiest way is to use two or more abilities to combine into new abilities. Take your water talent as an example. Currently, your water talent masters water control. , hydrological shield, boiling water, freezing, and water-making five abilities, right?”

Long Bai: "Yes——"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "You can use the ability to create water as the core, and combine it with the ability to freeze, and the water you create will directly turn into ice. If you do it to the extreme, you can form a new ability to create ice, and you can condense a divine pattern. In the same way, We can also use the ability to create water as the core and combine it with the ability to boil water to form a new ability, fog creation, right?"

Long Bai: "Understood!"

Quandong Shenshu: "You also have a wood-type 'tranquility' ability, which just needs to be used in conjunction with water mist. Then the combination of the wood-type tranquility ability and the water-type fog-making ability is a more powerful one, which is not restricted by the natural climate. The 'tranquility' ability can condense a divine pattern."

Long Bai: "!!!"

Long Bai: "The more elemental abilities you master, the more combinations you can have."

Quandong Divine Tree: "Yes. But it's not entirely right. You also have to consider whether different abilities fit together. For example, your soul-fixing ability and water-making ability, no matter how hard you try, they can't be combined together, right?"

Long Bai: "Yes!"

Mo Lan's eyes shone brightly, "I understand! Youlian walks! I started doing this when I first evolved to the Mountain Lord level."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "So I said that Mo Lan has a very high level of understanding and has the potential of Shan Indigo."

"No way. No. Far from it..."

Mo Lan was so confident that her tentacles were waving wildly with joy.

Long Bai helped and said modestly: "The Quandong Sacred Tree is too famous, and Mo Lan is very dull, it's just a mistake..."
