Astral Ants

Chapter 69

Complete delivery of goods.

Luoqin took out two small spider silk bags, handed them to Long Bai, and said:

"This is the big fruit ghost fan tree you entrusted to help collect, 15 seeds collected from different trees."

"These are the seeds of Torreya, Dawangshan, Jinsong, Heihuangtao, Kuili and Banxing pear, 10 each."

"Long Bai, this is the third and last time I have collected seeds for you for free."

Long Bai expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, Luo Li."

Long Bai: "Luochen, regarding the seeds, there is still a little thing I need to trouble you with."

Luo Chen said nothing.

Long Bai: "Help collect some rice tree and persimmon tree species. The key point is to collect varieties, I understand the rules, and I will pay 20 rough stones for each type."

Luo Chen was puzzled and asked, "What do you do with the rice tree seeds?"

Long Bai: "I found a few wild rice trees. They are pretty good. I might as well grow them and plant them for fun."

Luochen: "This is not fun."

Long cypress: "I don't plant it on a large scale, it's used as an isolation tree between rows in the orchard."

Luochen: "Isn't it good for you to use cypress?"

Long Cypress: "Cypress trees are also used. I use several kinds of trees and plant them crosswise, which can more effectively prevent the outbreak of diseases and insect pests in the orchard. Luoqin, since you have said that cypress trees are good, can you help me collect some cypress seeds?"

Luochen: "..."

There is also a certain truth.

Luozhi agreed: "Okay. I'll make a note of it. I'll help you get some better persimmon seeds."

Long Bai: "Azure persimmon seeds!"

"Um--"

"I'll try..." Luozhi replied reluctantly.

Long Bai: "Luoqian, please give me some worthless spider silk bags. Not long ago, Mo Lan and I were logging and reclaiming wasteland. I was almost killed by a tree. You can send me two longer spider silk ropes."

"A worthless spider silk bag? When did the spider silk bag become worthless?"

Luo Chen angrily manipulated two 10-meter-long spider silk ropes, tied two small and two medium-sized spider silk bags, and threw them to Long Bai.

"There is a bag with ants and spiders embroidered on it. Grass Dragon asked me to bring it for you."

Long Bai: "Okay. Luo Li, please thank Cao Long for me and say hello."

Long Bai: "Luoqian, since there is a spider silk bag sent by Caolong, then you should give me another..."

"roll!"

Luo Li quickly packed her bags and left first.

"Luoqin, just kidding. Say hello to Zeqi Spider King for me."

Long Bai triumphantly waved his tentacles, signaling Mo Lan to pack up and go home.

Pandan Mountain.

The high-quality original food worth 4000 rough stones, Longbai and Molan kept 2000 for their own use, and the remaining original food worth 2000 rough stones was used as the cost of the transaction with Baifanshan.

At the 3rd age, Longbai has already eaten 40 ghost fans, 10 wild jujube seeds, 25 pandan seeds, and a little bit of other force food.

It will soon complete a moulting evolution.

The spiritual power strengthening effect of the ghost fan appeared, and I tried my best to spread it out. After trying it, the limit distance increased to about 18 meters.

Mental power is strengthened, the higher you go, the more difficult it is, and there is an upper limit. For an intermediate ant king, the upper limit of mental power should be 20 to 25 meters.

Long Bai felt a little weak after waking up from a deep sleep this time, so he greeted the blue ants to bring ant honey, buried his head in licking it, and sorted out the newly awakened inheritance memory at the same time.

As the food entered his stomach, the feeling of weakness quickly subsided. He wiped his mouth and couldn't wait to see the change of the ruling throne.

Spiritual awareness communication, start the 'messenger' function.

Long Bai chooses [Guardian Power]

【quantity: 2】

……

【quantity: 5】

As speculated, the upper limit of the number of ant eggs that the ruling throne can produce per round +4 is increased from 1 to 4 after evolving the 5th instar intermediate ant king.

According to this rule, in the future evolution of the 7th age, the upper limit of the number will be increased to [number 6]

In the future, he will be promoted to a senior ant king in the first age, and the upper limit will be raised to [number 1].
4th instar senior ant king [quantity 8],
7 years old [quantity 9]

And so on.

Long Bai tried to choose 【Quantity 5】

Blu-ray sweeps.

[Physical condition is not good, please select the quantity again]

--All right.

--I knew it.

Longbai started again, conservatively choose 【Quantity 3】

This time it passed smoothly, and a suction came from under the cushion.

He had just finished his evolution, barely regained some physical strength, and fell into a more serious weakness in an instant, hungry.

Long Bai shook his tentacles, calling out to the blue ants guarding the nest, and spit out some ant honey to eat quickly.

Spit out the Kui Li Ming seeds bred in the 3rd instar stage, give them to the worker ants to soak the seeds, and prepare for sowing.

Put a black emperor peach seed into the life bag, and breed it as the life seed of the next age.

……

Happy spring.

The sown silver cypress seeds germinated and grew into seedlings about ten centimeters long. Long cypress directed the little worker ants to weed out those weak seedlings that grew irregularly or were obviously short and thin.

New batches of bred specialized blue ants emerged one after another.

Before the soldiers and horses moved the food and grass, 12 new specialized blue ants were added, which first ensured the food storage capacity of the ant nest, and then a large number of specialized chemical ants for work came out.

Cypresses and junipers began to work on the small hills in the south of the mountain, clearing weeds and shrubs, and began to reclaim wasteland for the future transplantation of silver cypresses.

Tall trees are first ring-cut and killed by screen tubes, dried in the sun for a summer, and then processed after drying.

In the midst of being busy, I entered late spring before I knew it.

Following Long Bai, Mo Lan successfully evolved into a 6-year-old intermediate flower mantis warrior. Under Long Bai's persuasion, she chose a Kui Li seed as her life seed, and planted them next to each other later.

……

The god-given seed of the wild rice tree in Baifan Mountain is ripe in early summer.

Ghost Fan Mountain, Ghost Fan is also looking forward to the new year's force food that strengthens the comprehensive physique.

Long Bai started to pack his bags.

With a clear destination and a stable transaction partner, it can be regarded as a formal travel merchant.

Moreover, both Longbai and Mo Lan paid special attention to the transaction involving the two god-given seeds of rice tree and ghost fan tree.

This year's goods are quite rich:
1000. [-] rough stones.

2000. The high-quality origin food worth [-] rough stones that the caravan brought on credit was already very expensive for the hateful flame spider merchants. After careful consideration, Long Bai decided not to raise the price.

2000. The original force food purchased from the Baifan territory last year, plus a batch of stone orchid seeds, the price is [-] rough stones.

90. 2250 ghost fans, priced at [-] rough stones.

58. There are 464 pieces of Guoxianglan seeds, and the price is [-] rough stones.

The total value of the goods is 7714 rough stones.

After a round of trading, the value of the goods brought back can exceed 1 rough stones.

In addition, there are 100 South Suan dates, not sure if they can be sold;
There are 10 specialized blue ants, of which 7 are empty stomachs and 3 are full stomachs. They are filled with ordinary ant honey mixed with dozens of fresh and dried fruits, honey and meat honey with super complex aroma and complex taste.

Two gourds filled with ordinary ant honey, the rations of Longbai and Molan on the way.

The land reclamation coincided with the lack of labor force, and the production of ant eggs should not be delayed on the road. As usual, 10 medium, small, and miniature worker ants were brought along, and three large bamboo tubes were tied to the stones.

The ant eggs produced during the journey are handed over to the worker ants to take care of them

……

After Molan evolved, she rested overnight and set off for the south the next morning.

by the way,
Search the land of the Force along the way, searching for rare plants and starship wreckage.

Four days later,
Arrive at South Suanzao Mountain.

After a cycle of flowering and fruiting was completed last year, the Southern Jujube God-given Seed lost its leaves once in winter and grew again in spring. At the same time, it also produced new flower spikes and is about to open.

Long Bai smoothly thinned the flowers for it.

Molan hunted and killed a large number of large animals.

Holes were dug under the trees and buried, and the corpses were composted.

busy all afternoon,

Depart early the next morning and arrive at Guishan Mountain in the evening.

Mo Lan left the throne and flew out.
