Astral Ants

Chapter 66 Silver Cypress ([-])

The spider silk bag is a good thing!

Shan Persimmon ran up to pick it up and look through it.

"Thank you!"

There was a trace of joy in the calm mood of the mountain persimmon. With a sting, he opened the spider silk bag, picked up the southern jujube and looked at it.
"Could this be the force food produced by the god-given seed recorded in the inheritance memory?"

Mo Lan said proudly: "That's right! God-given seeds! We have a lot of god-given seeds. If you trade persimmons with us, you will have a chance to eat them in the future."

Many god-given seeds?Shanshi was shocked and pleasantly surprised again. This time, he was not in a daze or hesitated, and agreed decisively:

"I understand! I will keep all the force food produced next year."

Not stupid~ Seeing this, Long Bai asked again: "Shanshi, is there really no silver cypress left on the mountain?"

"I don't know..." Shanshi explained: "My staple food is wood. Cypress trees are delicious. I ate all the ones planted in the orchard, and then planted persimmon trees. I am usually busy in the orchard , I haven’t been to other places on the mountain.”

Mo Lan asked in surprise, "You've been staying in the orchard?"

Shanshi calmly said: "Almost."

Mo Lan couldn't believe it, and asked, "Don't you go up the mountain to find the seed bestowed by God?"

Shanshi: "I haven't looked for it..."

Shanshi explained: "I want a god-given seed of a persimmon tree, so I am working hard to reclaim wasteland and plant persimmon trees desperately."

Cymbidium:"……"

Mo Lan asked, "You are a worm living here, don't you feel lonely?"

Shanshi was at a loss, and said, "I don't think so."

Shanshi: "When Yinbai left, he told me that if he was lonely, he would go to the cave to see it. When I evolve into a high-level fighter, I can protect a group of ordinary Ke Jianjia and train junior fighters..."

Shanshi: "I take care of life seeds, orchards, and reclaim wasteland every day. I am too busy to be busy. I haven't visited Yinbai for a long, long time. I don't have the time and energy to protect ordinary Ke Jianjia. Cultivate juniors."

Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

Shanshi said helplessly: "The persimmons produced in the orchard this year have not been picked yet."

Shanshi pointed to the persimmons piled up at the entrance of the cave, and said loudly: "Do you like to eat persimmons? If you like them, you can take them yourself, and you can take as many as you want. I can't finish a single worm."

Shanshi: "There are sun-dried persimmons in the cave, I'll bring you some."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were speechless again.

"Then we're not welcome, but just take some fresh persimmons." Mo Lan took a spider silk bag, glides down to the entrance of the cave, filled a bag, and returned to the throne with it.

Long Cypress: "Shanshi, let's look for silver cypress trees on the mountain, can we?"

Shanshi raised his foot and pointed in a direction, saying: "There are many cypress trees over there, you should go find them."

...

...

...

The seeds of cypress trees are very light, usually in the early spring when the ice and snow melt, the fruit balls are dry and cracked, and the seeds are spread by the wind.

The wind in early spring mostly blows from north to south.

Most of them will bring the seeds down the mountain.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne, returned to the southeast side of the mountain, and searched around the foot of the mountain.

There is heavy snow pressing on the branches,
But the shape of the cypress tree is easy to identify.

But all the junipers were found.

In a well-developed natural jungle, the chances of wild plant seeds germinating and growing into big trees are very slim.

Mo Lan broke away from the ruling throne, flew quickly, searched, and quickly searched the hillside and foot of the mountain below the persimmon tree orchard.

"Long Bai, no."

"I'll look ahead. Mo Lan, you go to the mountain... Don't be careless, be careful!"

"I know. It's okay. Shangaki is picking persimmons."

Mo Lan galloped up the mountain.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to fly back and forth, gradually checking from the foot of the mountain to the distant plain forest.

All juniper.

The farther you are from the foot of the mountain, the lower your chances of finding it.

Every plant that grows in nature has been cruelly eliminated and finally survived.

A mutated tree species consciously selected and bred by Zerg warriors.

Obviously, silver cypress does not have the ability to survive in the wild.

Just as Long Cypress was gradually despairing, feeling sorry for the loss of a top cypress species by the prodigal son of Shanshi, Mo Lan galloped over again and landed directly on the throne.

"Long Bai! Found it!"

Mo Lan handed a brown fruit ball twisted on the tip of her toe to Long Bai.

The fruit ball of silver cypress is one size smaller than the fruit ball of large fruit juniper, which is similar to that of juniper.

Long Bai took it, and scanned it mentally, there were 5 cypress seeds inside, and the size was about the same as the cypress seeds of juniper.

Probably can't go wrong!
Long Bai asked in surprise, "Mo Lan, where did you find it?"

Mo Lan raised her claws and pointed, and said, "There should be a nursery for raising seedlings on the mountainside in the southwest of the mountain. There are 23 silver cypress trees that have survived."

Long Bai: "Look and go!"

The Throne of Reign takes off.

……

There are 3 silver cypress trees with a height of only 5 to 23 meters due to lack of management and poor growth.

Mo Lan flapped her wings and knocked the snow off the branches.

Cypress harvests 30 fruit balls from each tree.

Soon, the small spider silk bag was full.

I searched a large circle in the vicinity again, but I didn't find it, so I gave up decisively.

...

...

...

The mountain persimmon climbed on a persimmon tree, and its slender tentacles swung flexibly to wrap around the persimmon fruit.

Two tentacles, pick one each, then turn around, go down the tree, place the fruits neatly on the ground and then go up the tree...

Long Bai suddenly understood.

Under the influence of the persimmon's subconscious, the strengthening effect of the force food produced by the silver cypress seed acts on the tentacles.

The tentacles of persimmon have evolved to be slender and flexible, making it easier to pick persimmon fruit.

The ruling throne slowly approached.

Shanshi took the initiative to ask: "Longcypress Ant King, Mo Lan, have you found the silver cypress tree?"

Mo Lan: "Found it!"

Long Bai: "Shanshi, no matter what, we must thank you."

"You don't need to thank me..." Shanshi suddenly felt a little sad, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Long Bai: "We come to say goodbye to you."

Mo Lan: "We will come to your territory again at the end of autumn and trade with you. You can keep more of the original force persimmons produced by the persimmon trees, and we will buy them at a high price!"

Both Long Bai and Mo Lan sympathized with Ke Jianjia, a soldier who didn't understand anything and could only bury his head in reclaiming wasteland and planting persimmon trees.

Long Bai took the initiative and said: "Shanshi, I know a persimmon tree called 'Azure Persimmon' which has excellent force-enhancing effect, quality and yield. Let me try and see if I can get some seeds for you. "

"Azure persimmon?"

Shanshi was puzzled, dazed, and pleasantly surprised, and said: "There is no skygreen persimmon in the inheritance memory. Could it be that it is similar to silver cypress, a new tree species cultivated by a Zerg warrior?"

Long Bai: "Yes. The strengthening effect is the toughness of the carapace, and it also strengthens the toughness of the wing veins. The height of an ordinary sky blue persimmon tree can reach 20 meters, and it also bears many fruits. It is a top tree species."

"There is this kind of persimmon tree?!" Shanshi was ecstatic, and fell from the tree to the ground with a clatter.

Long Cypress: "Shanshi, we also have a little work and need your help. There are 23 silver cypress trees on the mountainside to the south of the mountain. In the coming spring, you will help loosen the soil and clean up the weeds."

Shanshi readily agreed, "No problem."

Mo Lan: "Shanshi, let us teach you some tricks for managing your territory. You can dig a biogas pool..."

……

Find the silver cypress seed and bid farewell to the mountain persimmon.

"Long Cypress, are you planning to cultivate silver cypress trees?" Mo Lan asked.

Long cypress replied solemnly like never before: "Of course. Silver cypress trees can be planted as the pillars of my giant ant kingdom."

Long Bai made a bold statement and said: "I want to cultivate and reproduce this kind of cypress on a large scale, and optimize it generation by generation, until the seed bestowed by the gods of silver cypress is born!"

Mo Lan echoed, "It can become the top god-given seed in the mainland!"

top?Long Bai shook his tentacles and didn't say much.

The Throne of Dominion flew westward for half a day, then turned south.
