Astral Ants

Chapter 96 Seven Leaf Mountain Lord (Eleventh Update)
Silent winter.

Longbai and Molan are busy in the mountains.

Pick a large flat stone, move it to the throne of domination, and transport it to the Shanbei Reservoir.

Reservoir dams need to be built with big stones, especially the side near the water, which has been soaked in water all year round. Clay is definitely not good, and hard stones can withstand blisters.

And when building masonry, you must try to be as tight as possible.

This embankment may take more than ten years, or even decades, and must be built strong enough.

In the future, Long Bai will invite a mountain master-level warrior who has awakened the ability of the earth element to solidify the dam once.

……

Long Bai and Mo Lan left early and returned late, and the ruling throne transported stones one after another.

day after day.

Time is like spring water in a mountain stream.

Winter goes to spring, and the busiest season of the year arrives.

Long cypress planted the seeds bestowed by the God of Gorgon to the Shannan pond, and the giant cypress guarded it with soldier ants.

In the ant nest, the worker ants were restless, lined up neatly, and walked out of the cave.

Reservoir dam project started.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were in charge of moving large stones to build the sides.

The juniper directs the worker ants to carry the clay.

The juniper directs the soldier ants to carry small stones.

Mixed soil and rock filling.

In the end, Longbai controlled the ruling throne and smashed it up and down. The first floor with a thickness of 0.5 meters was built, and the timber was laid horizontally, and the second floor was continued to be built...

More than 1000 worker ants and soldier ants, large and small, are working, and new soldier ants are constantly joining the labor force. Five or six days is a layer, layer by layer.

Mountain streams pour in endlessly.

The water level gradually rose with the construction of the dam.

……

Long Bai also paid close attention to the growth of his Gorgon seed bestowed by the gods. He would go to see it every morning and noon, and even guarded directly by the pond at night.

The reason for the low temperature at night in early spring is that the seeds germinated six days after sowing, which was much slower than Molan's one.

It took two days to complete the rooting, the cotyledons unfolded, and the first leaf buds were drawn out.

After another seven days, the first true leaf unfolds on the surface of the water, and the cotyledons wither and fall off.

After a spring rain, there are continuous sunny days and the temperature is getting warmer.

The god-given seed of the dragon cypress has entered a rapid growth period, and within three to five days, a broad leaf emerges from the water and unfolds.

Soon, all 5 leaves of the mother plant grew up and entered the stage of energy accumulation.

When the cypress trees in the Longbai territory bloomed, the God-given Seed of Gorgon started the first round of branching, just like the Molan tree, there were also 3 branches.

The underground stem spreads, surrounds the mother plant, takes root, sprouts, and grows into broad leaves.

……

At the same time, the height of the embankment of Shanbei Reservoir reached 3 meters. After a light rain, the water level rose, slowly submerging the pond opened on the hillside last year.

The reservoir was first formed.

The god-given seeds of Molan's Gorgon fruit were initially incorporated into the reservoir, and the dragon cypress was hoisted by the throne of control, and an appropriate amount of soft humus was backfilled into the reservoir.

In batches, fill the pits with a depth of 1.5 meters upwards by about half a meter.Otherwise, the reservoir dam will continue to be repaired upwards, and the water level of the reservoir will continue to rise.

If the water is too deep, it may affect the growth of the God-given Seed of Gorgon.

……

In the north of the mountain, the seed bestowed by Guoxianglan drew its foil.

Given that Mo Lan is about to be promoted to a high-level fighter, all the branches will wither by then, and these foil swords will not be successful.Long Bai simply ordered the worker ants to cut them off, without wasting energy, and concentrate on raising seedlings.

The cypress trees of Longbai are blooming, and the mountains are full of flowers competing to bloom.

It's that time of year again to trade with traveling merchants.

Junbai led some worker ants to the south of Shannan to dig a reservoir above the pond where the god-given seeds of Cypress and Gorgon took root, for drought resistance in midsummer.

Other worker ants rest and take a few days off in rotation.

Long Bai and Mo Lan packed up and set off.

There is still nothing to sell to the caravan this year, only 300 pandan seeds.

...

...

...

The Qiye Mountain Lord has long noticed the abnormal behavior of the Luochen Mountain Lord.

Then they discovered that Baiwei Mountain Master of Luochen Caravan was also running towards the hill.

As soon as the Qiye Mountain Master inquired, this impoverished Baiwei Mountain Master has been publicizing everywhere that he has obtained a stable trading right of a fruit bestowed by the God of Orchid in the past two years, and enjoys up to half of the transaction share.

After inquiring again, there is actually a tree that is suspected to come from the ocean. There is no record in the inheritance memory, and the natural pantheon cannot find any similar plants. It is a unique seed bestowed by God.

There is no doubt that these two god-given seeds must come from the little ant king and flower mantis warrior from Yunji Continent next door.

I don't understand how they survived on the mainland where the force is silent, but the big deal about the two god-given seeds must not be missed.

The year before last and last year, the Lord Qiye made a special note of the time.

Two days before the caravan of the Zeqi Spider King arrived, they were waiting at the exit of the starship passage.

But it can't be blocked at the exit. Qiye guards the side of the cave entrance, on the hillside ten meters away...

The day before the arrival of the lacquer caravan,
morning,

A fat king ant with a body length of just over 40 centimeters emerged.

Looking left and right, I saw Qiye not far away.

not moving at all.

Quietly retreat back to the passage.

"Mo Lan, run!" Long Bai's spiritual thoughts warned.

In the tunnel, Mo Lan was about to run with her spider silk bag in her hand, when the light at the entrance of the cave was blocked by the huge body of the mountain master-level flame spider.

"Little guy, don't be afraid..."

Qiye Mountain Lord's mental power swept across, and he was secretly ecstatic.

Through the flame spider's unique response to the spider silk, it is very certain that the bag contains 300 orchid seeds produced by the seed bestowed by the gods.

Qiye: "Zeqi Spider King recommended me to come here..."

Mo Lan, who was running wildly, stopped.

Hearing this, Long Bai immediately understood that the other party did not appear here by accident.

It was at the exit, waiting for himself and Mo Lan.

It is aimed at the trading rights of the god-given seeds.

Every year when the lacquer caravan arrives, Luochen and Baiwei run to the woods behind the hill, which will inevitably attract the attention of other flame spiders.

Why would Zeqi Spider King recommend flame spiders from other caravans to come and contact him?
Flame spiders are good at weaving silk bags, and even better at weaving lies.

Very troublesome.

Next door to the Yunji Continent is the Wanguo Continent. If it is discovered by other caravans, if the negotiation fails, it may be a catastrophe.

Long Bai didn't answer, but shook the tentacles, waiting for the next sentence.

Qiye introduced himself: "I am the owner of Mount Qiye of the Caowu Caravan, a direct descendant of the Caowu Spider King. The Caowu Spider King and the Zeqi Spider King are good friends who have known each other for hundreds of years."

Qiye: "What's your name?"

Mo Lan: "Guoxianglan."

Cypress: "Dried cedar."

Qiye choked for two seconds, and said to Long Bai, "Zeqi Spider King said your name is Long Bai."

Know you still ask?
The other party actually knew his real name...

Long Bai was silent.

Qiye said to Mo Lan again: "Your name is Mo Lan, isn't it? Don't worry, I'm here for a deal, and I have no malicious intentions."

Even Molan's name is known.

The real names of Longbai and Molan are only known to Zeqi Spider King, Luoli and Baiwei.

That idiot Bai Wei slipped his tongue?Not too possible.

Then, this guy might really have something to do with Zeqi Spider King.

Long Bai said: "'Long Bai' is our official name."

With innocent emotions, novelty, and doubts, Long Bai asked: "Mount Qiye, are you friends with Mountain Master Baiwei?"

Qiye was subconsciously about to tell a lie and say 'yes', but when she changed her mind, she suddenly came to her senses: This little thing is testing me!
Qiye replied: "That's right. I have some kinship with Luo Li and Bai Wei. I know each other, but I'm not familiar with each other. Zeqi Spider King and Grass Black Spider King are in the same line, and they have a very good relationship."

The flame spider tribe attaches great importance to blood kinship.

Could it be that it was introduced by Zeqi Spider King?

"Oh--"

Long Bai's thoughts changed sharply, and he suddenly realized the intention of Zeqi Spider King.

Qiye didn't go around in circles, and asked Mo Lan: "Your spider silk bag contains the orchid seeds produced by the God-bestowed Seed of Guoxianglan?"

Mo Lan: "No..."

Long Bai: "Yes."

"Honest Ant King."

Qiye asked again: "Longbai Ant King, you also have a god-given seed? A unique god-given seed."

Long Bai said truthfully: "That's right. I named it 'Zhanlan'."

It really is!
Qiye secretly rejoiced, calm on the surface, couldn't help being curious, and asked: "It is said that there is no sign of the recovery of the force in the Yunji Continent. There is no force failure in the Ten Thousand Race Continent and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent. How can there be a godsend?" The seed was born? How did it survive?"

Long Bai said truthfully: "The place we live in is quite special, and the abundance of the original force is relatively high."

Qiye asked: "Infiltrated from the Ten Thousand Nations Continent?"

Long Bai: "It should be. It should have penetrated from the depths of the ground. Where we live, there is a canyon extending from the divine power barrier."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan added emphatically, "It's a very long canyon."

"canyon?"

I never heard that there is a canyon near the divine power barrier~ Qiye asked: "Do you live far from here? Where do you live?"

Mo Lan: "It's far away. To the east."

Long Bai: "Not far, to the north."

Big eye to small eye.

Long Bai raised his hind leg and kicked Mo Lan.

Mo Lan: "I'm sorry. I lied. In fact, we live in the north, not far from the starship exit."

Long Bai: "I lied too. We live in the south, very close to the sea, and often go to the beach to play. The blue god-given seed was picked up at the seaside."

Qiye: "..."
