Astral Ants

Chapter 93 Destination (Eighth)
It's the midsummer rainy season of the year again.

Ghost Fan Mountain.

In the center of the mountain depression where life-growing plants are intensively planted, the ghost fan is cleaning up the mud, rocks and dead branches and leaves that have blocked the drainage canal. Suddenly, it senses a familiar wave of force. Looking up, the ruling throne on the distant mountain top is slowly approaching.

——Didn’t it say that Xianglan Mountain is building a reservoir, so it’s very busy and you only come here in winter?
--What happened?
Thinking about it, Ghost Fan became nervous, ran quickly, and stood in a conspicuous position.

Long Bai saw the ghost fan, and the ruling throne turned slightly, tilting down.

"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, what's wrong..."

Ghost Fan asked, and with a sweep of mental power, he found the little armored warrior standing on top of Mo Lan's head. He understood a little, and was stunned.

"Ghost fan!"

"We're back again."

Long Bai and Mo Lan greeted each other.

Mo Lan cut to the chase and asked directly, "Ghost Fan, what do you think of this newly awakened three-spotted armored warrior?"

Long Bai also said: "If you are willing to take care of it, I can arrange it to be your companion in Ghost Fan Mountain."

"Forehead--"

Ghost Fan came back to his senses and asked back: "Is it willing to take root here?"

Long Bai: "It has no better place to go."

Long Bai: "Although the area of ​​this mountain depression is not large, the concentration of original force is definitely one of the best among the places of original force that have been discovered so far. It can fully accommodate two or three Zerg warriors."

Ghost Fan: "Yes..."

Mo Lan: "Mujianjia and Kojia are both elytra beetles. For hundreds of millions of years, you are also of the same family."

"Makes sense..."

Ghost Fan asked: "How should I take care of the little soldier? Can I just give it food from the Force?"

It can be seen that Ghost Fan is very willing to keep this little soldier, and it is worried that it will not be able to take good care of it.

Moreover, Ghost Fan's worries are not superfluous, a little guy who is only one centimeter in size is too prone to accidental death.

Birds, snakes, rats and other predators in the mountains and forests can easily kill it.

Long Bai said: "Ghost fan, you need to spend a few months or even a year to take good care of it and keep it with you at all times. If you are going to work in the field, remember to arrange it in a safe place, preferably a living room." cave."

Mo Lan suddenly had a brilliant idea, and suggested: "Ghost fan, can't you manipulate metal gravel to make holes in the wood? You find a stump, punch a lot of holes, and make it a movable insect nest. You For normal work, just take the worm nest with you, put it nearby, and tell it not to run around."

Long Bai: "Junior little fighters, with enough food in the force, can molt and evolve once every three months. Every time a stage of evolution is completed, it will be much safer. After the 4th stage, there is no need to worry too much."

Long Bai and Mo Lan sang together, dispelling Gui Shan's few worries.

Ghost Fan said: "As long as it is willing to stay, I definitely have no objection."

Mo Lan said: "Ghost Fan, if you show it the ant honey, it will definitely be willing."

Ghost Fan: "Ah..."

Ghost Fan ran back to the cave where he lived, came back holding the metal pot, and lifted the lid.

Mo Lan fluttered her wings and landed.

"Little guy, go to the Ghost Fan, it has endless Force Ant Honey."

The little armored warrior spread his wings, hovered and landed on the mouth of the metal tank, looking down with his head buried.

The ant honey was half eaten and out of reach.

The tentacles of the ghost fan bent, picked up a little bit, and handed it to the little armored warrior.

"eat……"

The little armor-knocking warrior held the tentacles of the ghost fan in his claws and licked it.

Ghost Fan was overjoyed and asked, "What did it choose for its first life plant?"

Long Bai: "Not yet."

Mo Lan: "Is there a raspberry wild fruit ripening on the mountain? Raspberry is quite suitable for it."

Ghost Fan thought about it for two seconds and asked, "Then its name is 'Raspberry'?"

Mo Lan: "Then we have to wait for it to conceive the first life-seed first."

Ghost Fan: "There are several big clumps on the mountain where I live, and it will take a while to get familiar with them."

Long Bai reminded: "The newborn little warrior, don't give too much force food at one time."

"I see!"

Ghost Fan gently moved its tentacles, and placed the little armored warrior lying on the tentacles on top of its head, and the other tentacles dipped some ant honey from the jar, and wiped it on the carapace on the forehead.

The metal ability controls the bottle cap to fly up and close well.

Seeing this, Long Bai said, "Okay, Ghost Fan, I'll leave this three-spotted armored warrior to you. Mo Lan and I have to return to Xianglan Mountain quickly. If the reservoir can't be completed on schedule, Mo Lan won't be able to be promoted to a higher rank." Flower mantis warrior."

Ghost Fan said seriously: "I understand! I won't keep you guys."

...

...

...

This trip took another 25 days.

The time has come to the end of summer.

Pandan Mountain, North.

The 18 branches of the God-given Seed of Gorgon are fully grown, surrounding the mother plant, and a large area is lush.

The mother plant has also completed the second development, still has 5 leaves, but each leaf has a diameter of about 1.5 meters and a height of three meters. It stands proudly above the water and sways gently with the breeze.

The god-given seed of Gorgon enters a stable stage of absorbing light and force, and accumulating energy.

Mo Lan was completely relieved.

During the departure, Juniper led the ant colony and cut off the western mountain bark by nearly one meter.

The project to expand the size of the lake is suspended for a moment.

Long Bai came back and turned around to continue the construction of the foundation of the embankment.

Sub-blocks, built in batches.

First dig a deep pit with a length of 3 meters, a width of 2 meters and a depth of 2 meters.

After the pit has been dug, the throne of dominion should be transported with hard wood such as pine, cypress, fir, etc., with a height of more than 8 meters, and put it vertically in the pit.

The spider silk rope is tied to one end of the wood.

Long Bai and Mo Lan led a group of specialized chemical ants to drag the spider silk rope, hoisted it with the throne of control, and erected the wood vertically.

Juniper directs the worker ants to backfill the pit with large and small stones and clay.

After it was filled, Long Bai manipulated the throne of dominion to hit the ground repeatedly up and down to tamp the foundation.

Design a dam with a length of 50 meters and a width of 8 meters, and dig pits, piles, backfill, and compact them piece by piece in a block-by-block manner.

When Juniper is free, it takes soldier ants to collect gravel everywhere, and it can also command soldier ants to help load materials when backfilling.

Large and small, thousands of soldier ants and worker ants work together in an orderly manner.

One hole a day.

Two months later, the foundation of the embankment was initially completed.

Looking around, there are 66 wooden stakes standing densely.

It's mid-autumn time.

Long Bai and Mo Lan fell asleep and evolved one after another.

At the 9th age of Mo Lan, she chose Sky Green Persimmon as her life seed, and planned to evolve into a high-level warrior in the strong spring season of the coming spring.

At the 7th age of Longbai, one of his own god-given seeds of Gorgon fruit has been bred, carefully stored, and will be planted in the spring of next year, and Tianqing persimmons will also be selected as the new generation's life seed.

Long Bai still needs to dig a pond.

Time is tight.

Rest for two days after evolution and continue building dikes.

Cypress continued to use the ruling throne to hoist the timber and spread it horizontally.

The juniper commanded the worker ants, and the juniper also commanded the soldier ants to assist, backfill the clay and gravel on a large scale, and fill up the one meter dug earlier, and the backfill was flush with the surrounding ground.

The embankment should be built into a trapezoid when it goes upwards, one layer at a time, 0.5m in one layer, and each layer should be laid horizontally with some wood as the "skeleton" of the embankment.

The width of the bottom is 10 meters, and the width of each layer is reduced by 0.5 meters, and the width of each layer is reduced to 2 meters at the top.

The main materials are still clay, stone and wood.

Not enough materials...

Divide into three groups,

Junbai commanded a group of worker ants to continue digging the west slope of the North Reservoir, collecting clay and gravel while expanding the reservoir.

Long Bai took a group of worker ants to the south of the mountain, picked a gentle slope in a low-lying land 1500 meters away from the pond where the God-given Seed of Zhanlan took root, and started to prepare the pond for his God-given Seed to take root.

The juniper commanded the soldier ants to pick up stones all over the mountains and plains.

Mo Lan is not idle either, she hunts full-time and hoards food for the ant nest.
