Astral Ants

……

After Long Bai condensed the divine power and patterns of his ancestors, the first batch of micronized soldier ants he cultivated were born, with body lengths exceeding 1.5 centimeters.

Today's micronized ants are no longer tiny. In the future, you need to be more careful when brewing ant royal jelly and collecting pollen and nectar from God-given seeds.

Micronized ants have three main functions: collecting honey; caring for ant eggs and newly hatched larvae; and killing tiny pests in orchards.

Honey collection becomes inconvenient, but the other two tasks are not affected.

...

Currently, the specific size of other ant types can be estimated based on the development of micro-ants and larvae.

The body length of small ants should be 15 to 20 centimeters.

The body length of medium-sized ants should be 40 to 50 centimeters.

The body length of large ants must be more than 1 meter, roughly around 1.2 meters.

The body length of specialized ants should be about 3 meters.

...

...

...

Long Bai and Mo Lan set off from Xianglan Mountain and flew close to the divine barrier.

Long Bai suddenly went up and down, left and right, suddenly accelerated, and then suddenly stopped, flying backwards rapidly, and from time to time he would do a fancy flip or roll.

Looking back at Mo Lan, it flies slowly and clumsily without activating its wind ability.

Long Bai shook his head.

"The second king..."

"Can you calm down for a while? Fly smoothly and well!"

"I'm practicing my flying skills."

"We're on our way."

"Aren't I waiting for you while I'm practicing?"

"Who wants you to wait?"

Mo Lan activated his ability, his body flashed and accelerated.

Long Bai flapped his wings vigorously and caught up after a few times.

"Molan, let's get down to business."

"Say."

"When the next batch of Wang Baizi is produced, you can consider exchanging it with Chiwu Mountain for Ghost King Huaizi."

"Is it in time? When will the next batch of Ghost King Huaizi be produced?"

"Yinbai Year 113. At that time, you must not have been promoted to the Insect King, so you have to wait for the next batch, which is the batch from Yinbai Year 152. It just so happened that in Yinbai Year 156, there was a batch of divine Mo Lanzi Harvest when ripe.”

"It's still very early..."

Mo Lan became even more depressed, "I still lack 4 God-given seeds!"

Long Bai did not refute.

Molan doesn't know how to settle accounts. It is in urgent need of 3 God-given seeds.After evolving into a 9th-instar lord, you need to wait 30 to 40 years. During this period, it will definitely be no problem to find a god-given seed.

……

Arrive at the branch nest at Zizhuang Mountain and take a short rest.

Long Bai started training at sea, going deep into the sea, running on the sea, diving in the deep sea, fishing in the sea, sleeping and resting in the sea, practicing maritime combat capabilities...

There are also violent storms at sea, and the harsh environment of huge waves...

You can’t just do activities in the ocean, you also have to land on land, break into rivers, and run in jungles and swamps...

lasted half a month,

Long Bai actively activated his adaptive evolution ability many times, and passively triggered his adaptive evolution ability many times. He adjusted back and forth, and finally evolved a compromise form suitable for amphibious survival and combat on land and sea.

Mo Lan followed, lying on the throne and watching, bored.

"Ant, have you had enough?"

"I'm exercising!"

"Have you practiced enough?"

"Almost, that's it."

"Then what? Going to the purple linden country?"

"The Citizen Sacred Tree and the Linnan Sacred Tree can teach us very little."

"Ant's wings are stiff."

"..."

"Both Citi and Linnan Sacred Tree are very curious about the Law Sacred Tree. You should at least go over and give them a try. Also, can the seeds given by the God of White Barberry bloom and bear fruit as soon as possible? Try to produce as many fruits as possible."

"The second king has thought carefully."

Long Bai: "Let's go! Let's go to Citi Hill first."

……

Long Bai had stocked up on a divine lotus seed in Citi Hill Treasure House many years ago, and now he can eat it.

"Longcypress Ant King!"

"Molan~"

Spruce takes turns guarding Citi Hill.

Yunshan looked at Longbai on the throne with bright eyes, shocked, "Longbai Ant King, your size...the effect of the ancestors' divine power?"

Twice the size of ordinary Zerg warriors, they are full of domineering power.

The spiritual power of Quandong Sacred Tree also came together, "Longbai Ant King, your throne of control..."

Long Bai: "The Dominion Throne can grow correspondingly with my body size, but the limit is only as big as it is now. We have tested it, and now one trip can transport up to 15 rough stones!"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "A very important improvement!"

Quandong Divine Tree: "What about the divine patterns of the laws of the ancestors' divine power? How are they different from the divine patterns that condense the regular abilities of the Zerg warriors?"

Long Bai: "This..."

Long Bai: "I don't know. I'm still far away from condensing divine patterns by my own ability."

After saying that, silver-white snowflake patterns appeared on the back armor.

Long Bai: "This is Wang Baizi's adaptive evolutionary law pattern. The ancestral divine power is a completely passive ability. The law pattern is integrated into the flesh and blood and cannot be actively displayed."

Quandong Sacred Tree and Yunshan suddenly realized after hearing this.

Quandong Divine Tree: "I felt weird when you came... Is your body shape optimized through 'Adaptive Evolution'?"

Long Bai: "Yes. It imitated the flying ability of the bees and adapted to survive in the ocean, so its appearance has become a bit nondescript."

Yunshan: "Longbai Ant King, can the body shape be changed at will?"

Long Bai: "You can't change it at will, but it's almost the same."

Long Bai: "The ability to adapt to evolution is divided into three modes..."

The ancestor's divine power is simple and crude, that is, doubling the body size and doubling the overall physical quality. You can see clearly at a glance and speak clearly in one sentence.

The ability to adapt to evolution is complicated.

Long Bai took some time to explain, and took some effort to explain clearly.

——Incredible ability!
——Complementing each other with the divine power of the ancestors.

The sacred trees and spruce trees in Quandong were amazed.

but,

These two abilities are related to physical fitness, and Long Bai is in urgent need of combat ability.

Long Bai once again told Quandong Shenshu about his idea of ​​water combat ability.

Citizen Mountain not only has Frostfall and Frostthorn for reference, they have produced many water-type insect kings, and they have realized various abilities and accumulated rich experience in water-type evolution.

Select typical Quandong sacred trees and explain them to Long Bai for reference.

From mid-morning to mid-afternoon, Long Bai entered the treasure house, took out the divine lotus seeds, and used them on the spot.

Easy to digest and absorb.After sleeping all night, when I woke up again, I had already understood the 'Nether Lotus Form'. A simple test showed that it is a pretty good ability. It can save your life in critical moments. Practice more if you have nothing to do.

……

Molan wanted to keep the red barberry god-given seed to accompany her.

The ruler's throne carried Yunshan and set off early in the morning to enter the purple linden kingdom.

Huang Zan, Weng Luo, and many warriors from the Barley Bug tribe were exercising under the sacred tree in Linnan.

meet and greet,

Long Bai introduced everyone to the ancestral divine power and adaptive evolution in detail, and also demonstrated the refining ability that broke through the insect king's understanding, refining a silver cypress tree into a light blue crystal ball...

The insects were amazed.

"Linnan Sacred Tree, I have an idea..."

Long Baichi asked: "Linnan Sacred Tree, based on your knowledge, can this 'refining' ability be developed and transformed into a combat capability?"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "I was just about to say! Your refining ability contains the properties of 'destruction' and 'destruction' that are opposite to 'creation'. It is an ability similar to the fire system's 'source fire'. You can completely consider changing and combining it." , build a combat-type capability.”

Linnan Sacred Tree suddenly stopped.

Long Bai waited for a while, but saw no further words, and analyzed by himself: "There are four problems with the current refining ability: first, the raw energy consumption is too high; second, the refining speed is too slow; third, the activation is too slow, making it impossible Hit the target; fourth, even if you hit the target, the opponent can easily get rid of it."

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, I have two ideas, please help me."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree snorted and agreed.

Long Bai: "I have been thinking about the ability of 'Sea Beast Devouring'. As you can tell from the name, it consists of two parts, 'Sea Beast' and 'Swallowing'..."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree couldn't help but said: "Ant, aren't you talking nonsense?"

Jin He agreed: "It's just nonsense."

Ye Xiang echoed: "Ants always talk like this, they are long-winded."

Long Bai: "..."

Can I finish my sentence please?
Long Bai ignored it and continued: "The 'swallowing' should be a water-based ability of the same nature as the 'refining', but in a different form. The essence of the 'sea beast' is the state of water with the 'life state' as the core. The transformation is an ability to imitate living things."

Long Bai: "I have two ideas. The first one is to refer to the 'Frost Descent' ability model, and use the combination of refinement, sunset glow, and mottled remnants to build a cloud and mist illusion ability that can dissolve all things; the second one is to learn from the scepter of the God of the Ocean. The sea beast is given to devour it and build a similar bionic ability..."

Long Bai: "It just so happens that here in the northern hemisphere, the Baiwei Caravan has mastered a divine fruit, which gives it a bionic ability called 'planaria'. It looks like a planarian, is colorless and transparent, can lurk in water, and can penetrate the soil. It can be hidden in the vegetation. It is difficult to see with eyes and difficult to detect with mental power. It is a very good water-based reconnaissance ability. I think that with some changes and combined with the refining ability, it should be able to simulate the 'vortex beast swallowing'. If it can be integrated into the ice With Sunset's ability, he is proficient in the changes of water's ice, frost and cloud gas state, which is an ability comparable to '潆'."

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, which ability do you think is more suitable?"

Tengluo raised her claws and rushed to suggest: "Whirlpool beast swallowed! Long Bai Ant King, if you really become it, this ability can make you gallop through the sea invincible, just like the 'Kingyu Ant King'."

Jin He said leisurely: "Then the ant can be renamed, 'Wortex Fish Ant King'? It's quite interesting."

Ye Xiang had an idea and asked: "Ant, can't you change your shape through adaptive evolution? You can transform yourself and your blue soldiers into the appearance of Ishikari blue ants. At a critical moment, it may have miraculous effects."

Long Bai was speechless and explained: "Can the different smells and energy waves of different ant tribes be imitated? If I can, then I will really become an Ishikari blue ant. In addition, there are 57 animal forms clearly recorded on the scepter of the God of the Ocean. Planarians are not among them, it’s fake at first glance.”

Long Bai: "I'm serious, I'm not kidding."

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, I would like to ask, which of the two options is more suitable? Due to the cutoff of transportation between the north and south continents, I cannot get the sacred Sauvignon fruit. I originally planned to use the 'Sky Frost Remnant Realm' ability Obstructed. The progress of the 'Frost Thorn' ability has been unsatisfactory, so I decided to give up. Evolving the Insect King, I suddenly can't find the direction to condense the divine patterns."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Both options you are considering are acceptable. The first option is relatively easy to implement, and it is consistent with the 'Sky Frost Remnant Realm' you built. With further development, the two abilities can be combined into one to form a stronger The potential of ability.”

"The second option, as for the 'vortex beast swallowing', is very feasible, but the difficulty is probably far beyond your expectation. I would also like to remind you that even if you successfully condense the 'whirlpool beast swallowing' god It is also difficult to compete with the 'Sea Beast Devouring'. The principle is very simple. The Sea Beast Devouring uses the two water abilities of 'Sea Soul' and 'Tsunami' as its supporting foundation, among which the 'Sea Soul' ability is particularly critical.

"Even if you successfully imitate the 'Vortex Beast Devouring', the range of controlling the battle can only be within the range of mental power, and it cannot exceed 1200 meters, right? And under the influence of the sea soul ability, the control distance of the sea beast's devouring ability can be enlarged ten times."

"In addition, the combination of sea soul and tsunami abilities, the ability to control sea beasts is beyond your comparison."

"The three abilities of sea soul, tsunami, and sea beast devouring given by the scepter of the God of the Ocean are a set that increases step by step. Without the sea soul and tsunami, you can only imitate the appearance of the sea beast, and it is difficult to grasp the essence of its abilities."

Long Bai: "Thinking about the long term, destroying Blue Island and gaining control of the scepter of the God of the Ocean. I can stably comprehend the two abilities of Sea Soul and Tsunami, and my 'Whirlpool Beast Devouring' will be complete."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "...the wise ant."

Linnan Sacred Tree gave a brief reminder: "You also possess a powerful alien ability, the Queen Bee's Heart!"

That's called the heart of the ant king~
Long Bai's thoughts changed rapidly, and he finally understood the meaning of Lin Nan's sacred tree.

Lin Nan Sacred Tree continued: "Ant, you can be bolder. The ancestral power has given you a strong body to crush other Zerg warriors, and your adaptation to evolution has given you almost comprehensive physical resistance. You can completely consider charging in close combat. "

Linnan Sacred Tree: "If you plan to use the 'vortex beast swallowing' to condense the divine pattern, you can consider making it bigger. The heart of the queen bee can enhance your control power and make it into a thousand-meter giant beast. You still have ancestors. It is completely possible to use divine power and soul talent as support for original energy and spiritual power."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Don't you also have the water ability 'Water Escape'? You can hide in the vortex beast, and you can also carry 30 million blue soldiers with you to swim in the sea and come and go as you please."

"The two abilities of Queen Bee Heart and Water Escape are combined to give the 'Vortex Beast' auxiliary functions, and the blue soldiers serve as the main force in the battle."

Long Bai's eyes shone and he praised: "Linnan Sacred Tree is extremely wise! Thank you Linnan Sacred Tree for your guidance!"

Linnan Sacred Tree is indeed the Sacred Tree of War, and it immediately gave an excellent plan.

Long Bai said excitedly: "That's the second plan, swallow by the vortex beast!"

Lin Nan Divine Tree: "The first plan you conceived is also quite good and easier to implement. It can be used as a backup and try more. Be flexible. There are no regulations. Each age of the insect king stage can only condense three divine patterns. As long as time Enough energy, enough lifespan, enough ability, whatever you want.”

Long Bai: "Yes——"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "You can plan a time for yourself, for example, spend 100 years focusing on the water system. You don't have to stick to the 1st instar insect king. You can also evolve to the 2nd instar at the appropriate time, taking into account the thunder system. And the water system.”

Long Bai lowered his head to think, then gently tapped his tentacles, "I understand! Thank you Lin Nan Sacred Tree for your guidance!"

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, there is another question. At present, the refining ability is a purely production-assisted ability. Is there any good way to transform it into a combat nature?"

Lin Nan Shenshu: "From a general theoretical level, when a farming insect puts down its work and joins the fight, it becomes a warrior. The ability to produce assistance can also be transformed into combat ability when given the will to kill."

Lin Nan Divine Tree: "To be specific, refining this ability should be the core ability of the so-called 'Creator Civilization'. It is of high quality and can directly condense divine patterns. You can also try to condense a refined divine pattern first. .”

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "As for a more specific training method, that's simpler. You go to the forest and use your ability to refine one hundred thousand trees and one hundred thousand live animals. You go to the ocean and use your ability to refine one million live fish."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Be careful, choose those living creatures that are large and will struggle to resist, to hone your killing intent."

Originally, Long Bai didn't think it was a big deal. Ant Country consumes so much fresh food every year.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

Killing for survival and killing for power are two completely different concepts.

Lin Nan Divine Tree continued: "In the process of infinite repetition, pay attention to concentrate on understanding the mystery of the operation of abilities. One is to condense the divine patterns, and the other is to understand the destructive power characteristics of the familiar abilities. Try to It enlarges and deforms in preparation for being 'devoured by sea beasts'."

Long Bai: "Understood!"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Also, I feel that the main function of this refining ability should be to refine Force food. Therefore, you can also practice with some Force food appropriately."

Long Bai: "Okay! From now on, all the force food I give to the Cloud Trace Insect will be refined into raw energy crystal beads for free."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Ant, your water talent comes from the creator civilization. The water control, hydrological shield, boiling, freezing, and water creation that you, the insect king, have learned before are all laying the foundation for refining ability. You are highly compatible with refining ability. .According to my estimation, you can condense the refined divine patterns in as little as ten years or as long as 20 years."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "You have completed most of the Sky Frost Remnant Realm. It only takes about 30 to [-] years to get the divine Sauvignon Fruit and realize the 'Sunset Glow' ability."

"The first plan you think about yourself is more difficult and starts in 30 years."

"As for the 'vortex beast swallowing', the time required starts from 60 years, and there is no upper limit."

Long Bai: "No upper limit?"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Theoretically it is possible, but it may take hundreds of years, or even longer. Ants are smart, so you can decide what to do."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Thank you Lin Nan Sacred Tree for your guidance!"

After some guidance from the Lin Nan Sacred Tree, Long Bai was promoted to the Insect King, and his evolutionary path in water talent was initially clarified: refining, sky frost remnant realm, and vortex beast devouring.

By gathering these three divine patterns together, you can evolve into the second-instar insect king.

If the 'Vortex Beast Devouring' path doesn't work, then turn to the first plan and use Refining, Sunset Glow, and Mottled Remnant Realm to create an ability similar to 'Sky Frost Remnant Realm'.

This ability could be named 'gnawing ruins'.

If the water ability can be further developed, the 'Sky Frost Remaining Realm' and the 'gnawing remnant Realm' can be combined into one ability.

Long Bai has more water-based abilities, and correspondingly, there are many ways to do it, so there is room for discretion.

The question about the Insect King’s divine condensation patterns is over.

When Long Bai was about to leave, Huaqi Shenshu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Long Bai Ant King, come to my place for a moment."

"Yellow skewers, spruces, and wisterias, don't come over here and go about your business."

This is obviously something to discuss privately...

The yellow skewer, spruce, wisteria, cinnamon, and five-leaf insects all looked at each other, and agreed to retreat.

Long Bai came to the Citizen Tree alone.

The Citizen Sacred Tree gathered its mental power and asked: "Longbai Ant King, regarding the 'adaptive evolution' ability, have you ever tried to adapt to the vacuum environment of the Force?"

Long Bai: "No..."

Long Bai's eyes lit up and he praised vigorously: "The suggestion you made from the Citizen Tree is a good one! I'll try it later and report back to you..." (End of Chapter)
