Astral Ant Tribe

The Baijing Galaxy is in the shape of a discrete disk, and the Zhouchitong constellation is located in the center of the Baijing Galaxy.

The Zhouchitong star system is a third-level source star system, and it is not allowed to enter or exit at will.

However, there is a second-level source star system called the "Baxiang star system" only 14 light years away from the Zhouchitong star system.

The Baxiang star system has become the trade center of the Baijing Galaxy and a distribution center for bulk goods transactions.

For example, the mining stars operated by the fourth, fifth, and sixth-level large chambers of commerce produce mostly tons of force materials, which they will send directly here and sell at a good price.

For example, many large chambers of commerce will also make force food at the level of the Sujing realm into gene agents and send them here for trading or exchange to enrich the gene agent categories of their own shops.

The Baxiang star system is also a wholesale place for human civilization technology creations.

Only the seventh and eighth levels, as well as the few fifth and sixth-level Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce, can apply for qualifications and obtain the qualifications to directly contact and trade with human civilization.

Some small gadgets produced by human civilization are sold in bulk here, and some large items are also accepted for pre-order.

Other small Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce can come here for wholesale purchases or pre-orders.

Many transactions can be done by Baiwei Chamber of Commerce, but Xianglan Chamber of Commerce cannot.

For example, ecological base stations, life bases, and reverse-ecological base stations for transforming planets.

Baiwei Chamber of Commerce can come here to find large chambers of commerce for wholesale, and also supports customization, with the "Baiwei Grass" brand, and can be claimed to be produced by Baiwei Chamber of Commerce when it is taken out.

For example, knowledge compasses, notebooks, short-range pagers, and small accessories for star spiders and starship repairs, etc., all kinds of small items.

In addition,

There are many fun amusement parks built by human science and technology in the Baqi star system.

The last time Longbai and Molan traveled far away, they passed by and played once. When returning, they were pulled by Molan and passed by on a detour and played again.

This is Longbai's third time entering the Baqi star system.

…

Starting from the Bauhinia star system, it only takes two stops to reach the destination.

Longbai took the short-distance star spider in the system and came to the square of the 9999 area in the south of Shanxiang Star, where he had an appointment with President Sishu.

The busiest source star system in the all-white crystal galaxy, no one else.

Insects come and go, insects are crowded, and there are mountains and seas of insects.

Longbai activated his soul-fixing ability and swept through it. The intelligent brain function operated synchronously and did not detect any trace of President Sishu's soul.

Open the Star Network account to check,

[Time: 78th Century-159 Yuan-791 Year]

The certification activity started from 159 Yuan 000 and lasted until 159 Yuan 900.

Lasted for 900 years.

The time agreed by Longbai and Sishu was 159 Yuan-800.

There were still 9 years left.

That was because Sishu had not arrived yet.

Longbai squeezed out of the square slowly and walked north slowly.

Entered the trade area and wandered aimlessly.

After wandering around, I was really bored, so I entered the North 2003 area again.

A square covered by a black hemispherical energy barrier.

A high wall made of black thorns formed around it.

From the outside, it looks like a place with a solemn atmosphere.

[Thorn Tower]

A place for entertainment and cultivation.

There is a technological device called "Cocoon Nest" inside. When Zerg warriors enter it, the device reads the star core and body information and converts it into data to build a virtual identity in the virtual universe.

When the consciousness enters the virtual universe, it can launch the ability to fight at will.

There are three ways to play: Black Thorn Tower Challenge; Random Match Battle; Friends Competition.

When Molan was together, Longbai didn't like to play this.

However, Molan was not here this time...

Longbai came to test his ability.

After evolving to the star realm, on the life planet, many attack-type abilities can no longer be easily tried. The power is too great and will cause irreversible damage.

There are no such concerns in the virtual universe.

…

Go forward along the wide straight road, and the end is a 100-meter high platform.

Four steps representing the fourth-level god-level civilization, 49 steps on each level.

Going up the steps, there is a long row of 49 entrances about 2 meters wide, separated by star pillars in the middle.

In front of each star pillar, there are also original spider warriors guarding.

Zerg warriors of all kinds come in and out.

Longbai queued up, approached the star pillar, opened the star network communication, and received the number plate...

"Huh?"

"Longbai Ant King!"

A familiar mental call suddenly came from the left exit channel.

Longbai tilted his head to look...

Bai Wei, Hongtao, Huangtao, and Yu Teng.

Can we meet this? !

Longbai quickly returned the number plate and quickly stepped forward to meet Bai Wei and his group.

"Longbai Ant King, are you here to participate in the special ability certification?"

"Of course."

"A bug?"

"A bug. The journey was relatively smooth. Every time I changed to the Star Spider, I happened to be on time and didn't have to wait much. So, I arrived 9 years earlier than the agreed time. I was bored and came here to test my ability. What about you?"

"We came here to investigate the market and see if there are any suitable products. We plan to purchase them and enrich the product categories of the Tree Flower Shop. There is also the benefit of the 'Gate of Truth' of Derris. We plan to try to apply for it and let Derris certify a special ability, but unfortunately, it does not meet the conditions. "

"Uh..."

One of the basic conditions for the so-called 'special ability' is that it must be able to be transformed into a tradable commodity and can be mass-produced.

Yu Teng's 'Gate of Truth' is powerful, but if it does not meet this basic condition, you can tell with your claws that it will definitely not work.

Bai Wei probably wanted to rely on the 'Shanglu Divine Mark' to seek convenience, but obviously failed.

"That's a pity."

Long Bai responded perfunctorily, jumped to the topic, and asked: "President Bai Wei, then why are you here?"

Bai Wei: "Hong Tao and I evolved to the planetary realm, and also came here to test our abilities. Huang Tao and Yu Teng traveled all the way and obtained some new abilities with particularly strong attack power through the divine fruit. It is not convenient to try in the real world, so we came here to test it."

After Bai Wei finished speaking, her eyes widened, and she activated the soul barrier to cover everyone, and then asked:

"Long Bai Ant King, are you in the star realm?"

"Stellar realm 7th age."

"Hiss~ How big is the Shanglu space? "" "Diameter." "Starway?" "15 times the speed of light." He refers to the registration entrance and greeted: "We have nothing to worry about. The dragon and cypress ant king, let's go, let us see the strength of your star ..." ... lined up together and registered the number plate behind the entrance. Find the cocoon nest, communicate consciously, and launch a star network ability certification. After entering, follow the instructions, adjust a comfortable posture, and enter a dormant state.

The hatch is closed.

Inject some kind of light green smoke.

The cocoon nest begins to read information.

Soon, Longbai's consciousness is awakened, and the star network ability is automatically turned on. Characters are marked, and there are four options: [Black Thorn Tower], [Random Match Battle], [Friends Competition], [Interstellar Wandering]

There is also a [Friend Search] option below.

Longbai waits for a moment.

A row of messages pops up on the screen: [23504 Apply to add friends]

Longbai agrees to the application.

The scene in front of him changed, and the surroundings turned into a gorgeous hall decorated with various gems on the dome.

Bai Wei was standing in front of a star pillar, communicating the operation.

Soon, red peaches, yellow peaches, and fish vines appeared one after another.

"Longbai Ant King, shall we try to fight first?"

"Fight? I'll fight four of you alone."

"Okay! Then it's four against one. Hongtao, Huangtao, Yuteng, get ready for battle!"

Bai Wei continued to operate, and said confidently: "No one should give in to anyone else, otherwise it will be boring. Let's add some more bets, 1 million original crystals, how about it?"

"Okay--"

Longbai also wanted to try his star realm combat power, and reluctantly agreed.

"That's good!"

"Then let's get started!"

Bai Wei was in high spirits and continued to operate.

The surrounding scene changed again, and appeared in the vast forest sea with white clouds.

Three thousand meters away, Bai Wei, Hongtao, and Huangtao quickly shuttled through space and disappeared.

There was only one Yuteng left standing there, turning his body and looking around...

Yuteng found the trace of Longbai...

"Longbai Ant King, shall we wait a moment?"

"..."

Longbai hesitated for 0.1 seconds, raised his claws and pointed, and a silver-white electric light shot out.

The touch of blue thunder.

At close range, Yu Teng had no time to react and was knocked to the ground by the electric shock, losing his life signs.

"Giving one away for free? That means three against one."

Long Bai muttered in his heart.

He scanned with his soul-fixing ability, but could not find any traces of Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao. They must have used their soul-related abilities to isolate their perceptions and hid.

Suddenly,

there was a violent energy fluctuation behind him.

Almost at the same time, there was a strong sense of danger from the left and right.

Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao tacitly divided into three groups and attacked from three directions at the same time.

From behind, a blue-purple lightning column rushed at the speed of light.

On the left and right sides, dense wind blades containing strands of metal sharp characteristics blocked all the movement paths.

On Long Bai's body, power, earth, stone, and wood energy burst out one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three explosions shook the earth.

With Long Bai as the center, pure power energy burst out to form a force impact, enveloping earth, stone, and trees, and violently impacting in all directions.

There were no other fancy changes, just a brutal and tyrannical crushing force.

The lightning and fire pillars and wind blades that attacked from three sides were all dispersed.

The jungle with a radius of four or five kilometers was shaved off a layer, forming a deep pit of forty or fifty meters.

When the smoke cleared, Long Bai's figure disappeared from the bottom of the pit.

Bai Wei, Hong Tao, and Huang Tao were also missing.

The "dead" fish vine was in a virtual "ghost" state, floating in the sky to watch the battle.

He could not participate in the battle, nor could he communicate with everyone, but he could still use the reconnaissance type ability, and the mental power and soul-fixing ability were used to scan at the same time.

All disappeared.

Floating in the sky, launching the sunburn and intelligent brain ability search...

…

There is a limitation when scanning and reading information in the ‘Cocoon Nest’: that is, it is impossible to bring ‘artifacts’ into the virtual universe.

Longbai indirectly merged the technology star core through the ‘Ferocious Beast Origin’, so the technology star core was judged as an ‘artifact’.

In the virtual universe, Longbai cannot use the space system ability granted by the space star core.

Baiwei, Hongtao, and Huangtao are not restricted.

They all dissolve the technology star core, merge it with their own star core, and become part of their own star core, which can be brought into the virtual universe.

The ability of ‘space teleportation’ granted by the technology star core is quite difficult.

…

In the virtual universe, the entire planet is a battlefield.

After missing a single attack, Baiwei, Hongtao, and Huangtao immediately fled far away and disappeared, crossing space and meeting at the north pole of the planet.

“Yu Teng, that idiot! Let it lure the enemy, not let it die~”

“It was gone in an instant, and it didn’t help us gain a second.”

Baiwei was depressed.

"Maybe it was unexpected that the Dragon Cypress Ant King was not polite at all. He didn't say a word and just raised his claws to kill it."

Huang Tao helped to explain.

"Resist! Get out of the way!"

Bai Wei was angry.

"..."

Huang Tao was also speechless.

Bai Wei looked at Hong Tao and said, "Now the Dragon Cypress Ant King has also lurked. What should we do?"

Hong Tao: "President Bai Wei, you are too careless. We can't win at all. We wasted 1 million."

"Can't win?"

Bai Wei: "Why can't we win? We have space teleportation and can come and go freely. The lowest is a draw."

Hong Tao: "..."

Hong Tao said helplessly: "The realm gap is too big. We can't hit or move with frontal attacks. We can only use the ability with the smallest energy fluctuation, the fastest claw speed, and the most deadly attack. , close-range assassination. Also, the adaptive evolution has made it immune to most abilities such as wind, fire, thunder and soul. Everyone, please pay attention and do not use them. "

"The Longbai Ant King's attention must be all on me or Baiwei. Relatively speaking, it is easier to ignore Huangtao's existence."

"Baiwei will attract the attention first. Huangtao and I will attack close-range. I will still feint and launch the first attack. Huangtao will attack later. The metal pierces and attacks the brain, and strives to kill with one blow. "

"Good idea!"

"Action! Action!"

Baiwei did not think much and hurriedly called for departure.

...

Longbai knew very well that

Baiwei, Hongtao and Huangtao had no ability to compete with him head-on.

The only thing they rely on is space teleportation.

The only way to defeat him is to attack by surprise.

The long-distance siege has been tried and confirmed to be unsuccessful.

Then there is only one option left, a close-range surprise attack.

Think about this clearly and be a little prepared. It will be difficult to lose.

Longbai is here to test his ability, not to win money, but he can use them to test his reconnaissance ability.

Stealth all the way, the shell changes color, hides at the riverside, and the iridescent water droplets fly out, turning into a ball of flowing water, merging with the river.

Three reconnaissance abilities are activated at the same time.

Source of the vortex: countless vortex worms with a length of only 1 cm are generated, either downstream or upstream, spreading along the water veins.

Underfoot is a naturally evolved planet with oceans. All water veins are connected. Turtle worms can follow the water veins to reach all rivers and lakes on the planet.

Eye of the sky: countless invisible and transparent eagles rise silently.

Cuscuta: dense invisible silk threads spread from the water to connect the riverside plants, and then spread along the roots of the jungle plants.

…

Longbai used soul-based divine power food worth 1.2 billion original crystals in the planetary realm.

Under the effect of the super soul ability, at the age of 7 in the star realm, the soul strength reached the peak of the star realm, and there was a faint sign of breaking through the star realm and entering the level of the stagnation realm.

The range of mental power perception exceeds 50 kilometers.

The range of the soul-fixing ability is more than 10,000 kilometers, covering half of the planet.

Combined with the abilities of the soul of art and the soul of the sea,

the three abilities of tactile, visual, and soul breath perception can cover the entire northern hemisphere.

The ability deployment has not yet been completed.

Dodder and the Eye of the Sky have successively detected the traces of Bai Wei and her party.

They are also in a state of affairs, one in front and two behind, forming a battle formation, carefully teleporting in space, trying to search and track themselves.

When the eagle bird vision paid attention to them, the leading Bai Wei also noticed it keenly, and took the red peach and the yellow peach and quickly crossed the space away.

"..."

"In the battle, the visual reconnaissance of the Eye of the Sky is a little useless. Everyone is a cosmic life, and the opponent will immediately perceive it when the vision is locked."

"However, if it were in the real universe, the artist would kill one by one, and the three of them would be gone at this time."

Long Bai thought silently in his heart.

While thinking and deducing,

the ‘turbellarians’ arranged in the river sensed the traces of Bai Wei and his party, and disappeared in an instant.

It was obvious that they also noticed the abnormality in the water.

“…”

“Bai Wei is very alert.”

“But they don’t seem to notice the ‘dodder’ scattered all over the jungle underground.”

Longbai continued to pay attention to Bai Wei’s movements.

At this time, they realized that the entire northern hemisphere was covered by reconnaissance capabilities.

The most feared thing in a battle is that your every move is understood by the enemy, but you don’t know where the enemy is.

Bai Wei simply stopped.

Huang Tao and Hong Tao activated their earth and stone abilities, built hemispherical fortifications, set up battle formations, and waited for Long Bai to come and attack...

Long Bai withdrew his consciousness and stopped paying attention.

His mind turned,

The river changed its course, roaring and rushing towards the jungle. Wherever the flood passed, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.

The surging flood suddenly stopped, and the water flow penetrated the ground in a breath.

The earth rose, and a 30-kilometer-long rock python rose from the ground, like a mountain range, winding and parading.

It coiled and accumulated power, leaped up, and the thousand-meter mountain peak was directly knocked down.

It fell to the ground with a rumble, the earth trembled and cracked, and the mountains collapsed and fell.

The giant python raised its head, opened its mouth, and a column of magma fire spewed out, and the earth in front turned into a sea of ​​fire.

It rotated its body and continued to spew.

The area of ​​30 kilometers turned into a magma ocean.

The giant python raised its head.

Long Bai stood on the giant python's head, its tentacles swayed, and the Feng Shui dual-system energy burst out.

The clear sky suddenly became dark. Within a radius of fifty kilometers, the wind and clouds changed dramatically, and the cold air sank.

Hurricane, blizzard.

Snowflakes swirled like sharp blades, cutting the air with a subtle hiss, and were blown wildly by the howling hurricane.

The magma lake condensed, and the earth turned into a vast snowfield.

The dragon cypress tentacles waved again.

The dual power of fire and thunder exploded.

The sky was thick with clouds, thunder roared, and red lightning struck the earth, and the snowfield instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire in the thunder domain.

The earth and stone giant python coiled again, accumulated power, and leaped into the air.

Like shedding its skin, the earth and stone that made up the scales turned into fine sand and drifted away. A giant python composed of water mist and lightning flashed out, with eight wings on its back, flapping its wings and flying horizontally. In one breath, it crossed a distance of forty or fifty kilometers and swooped down into the dense forest.

Giant carnivorous flower!

The giant python turned into wood and turned into a giant vine with a cage, and its branches spread rapidly.

In an instant,

the grass and trees in the forest grew wildly, thorns and vines grew everywhere, and the ancient trees rose rapidly and rushed straight into the sky, sealing the sky and locking the earth.

The peaceful forest sea turned into a murderous prison in an instant.

"Conventional life planets can no longer accommodate the life of the original force in the star realm."

Long Bai muttered, communicating with the eagle bird in the air reconnaissance.

The hemispheric fortifications built by Bai Wei and others are still there, mobilizing the nearby turbellarians to sense, and there is a soul barrier to isolate them, and they are still hiding inside.

"..."

Long Bai's heart moved, and the carnivorous flower transformed into a frost centipede.

Without the support of the wood element energy, the riot jungle, the wildly growing plants withered and died.

The water element energy was activated,

the frost centipede's carapace, 30,000 ice pillars with a length of more than ten meters and a diameter of more than one meter rose vertically.

Almost forgotten ability: blast jet

Thirty thousand ice pillars passed through the clouds, sailed from the thin stratosphere, crossed a distance of 4,000 kilometers, tilted and adjusted, and locked the hemispheric fortifications vertically downward, accelerating the impact at the end.

The overwhelming bombardment, with the hemispheric defenses as the center, was instantly submerged in the flying ice chips within a radius of ten kilometers.

Bai Wei and her group of three insects finally noticed the "Dodder" distributed in the jungle, and found a way to avoid it in the first place.

Long Bai's three reconnaissance capabilities all failed, and they lost the trace of Bai Wei and the others.

Just as I was thinking about changing a reconnaissance method,

Suddenly, a slight force fluctuation came from behind, and I felt a sense of death and danger in my heart.

Bai Wei!

You reversed my position so quickly?

Only a hundred meters away, eight half-meter-long spikes of green, yellow, gold, blue, red, silver, and transparent, covering the seven elements and systems, shot out.

——A sneak attack?

Long Bai raised his claws and waved, and the power and wind energy burst slightly. The brutal force swept through the concentrated airflow, easily shattering the eight spikes, with no reduction in power and an incredibly fast speed.

At a short distance, Bai Wei was hit by the strong wind before she could cross the space and leave, and was hit hard and flew backwards.

The wind and thunder energy on Longbai's body shone, and his body turned into a beam of lightning. At the moment Baiwei landed, he clawed out again.

Touch of the blue fire.

Two beams of pale lightning penetrated Baiwei's forehead, from head to tail, piercing two holes...

And!

Longbai's body had just stabilized.

A sharp claw stretched out from the side and went straight to the forehead.

Hongtao,

Metal Mantis's close-range assassination.

Longbai had been prepared for it, and the dual energy of water and fire flowed, and the blue and purple umbrella bird pattern instantly covered his body.

Puff! Swish!

Before the claws touched the carapace, the umbrella bird's ability triggered and detonated autonomously, and the ice and fire jets recoiled.

Hongtao was knocked away.

Longbai's body turned into a shadow, sticking close, and the tentacles connected, and two blue ice cones pierced two holes in Hongtao's head.

Three missing one.

Longbai turned his head suddenly. "..."

Huang Tao raised her catching foot high, crossed the space and met Long Bai's eyes.

Stiff and awkward for a second.

Huang Tao reluctantly retracted her claws and said, "I give up."

The battle is over.

The world scene changes.

Long Bai, Bai Wei, Hong Tao, Huang Tao, and Yu Teng returned to the empty hall.

"Hong Tao, your tactics are useless."

"Yu Teng, you are a waste, how come you are gone as soon as you go up?"

Bai Wei asked angrily.

Hong Tao: "..."

Yu Teng: "..."

Yu Teng: "My idea is to use clever words to attract the attention of Long Bai Ant King and create conditions for your sneak attack..."

"Alright. Alright. The gap between the planetary realm and the star realm is so big, and the power disparity is so great that there is no fun at all."

Long Bai made a round of reconciliation, activated the Star Network ability, and said happily: "One million, don't default on it."

"...I won't default on it!"

Bai Wei followed and activated the Star Network ability to pay.

Long Bai said proudly: "Have you practiced fighting together? To be honest, your cooperation is not very good. If I get serious, I can kill you a hundred times a day. Do you still want to play? One million per game, the little money you earn will be lost in less than a year."

"It's boring..."

Bai Wei turned around and connected the Star Column to check.

There is no relatively fair friend battle mode that can narrow the gap between the planetary realm and the star realm.

"No more playing!"

"Longbai Ant King, do you want to test your abilities?"

"Of course. I'll go to the Black Thorn Tower to try."

"Oh——"

Bai Wei got interested again and asked, "Isn't this your first time here? Which floor have you reached?"

Longbai asked back, "How many floors can you reach?"

Bai Wei said truthfully, "Huang Tao and I can reach the fourth floor. Hong Tao is the fifth floor. Yu Teng is not so good and stopped at the second floor."

"Oh——"

Longbai said, "So it seems that Mo Lan is quite powerful. Mo Lan can reach the ninth floor."

"Ninth floor?"

Bai Wei, Hong Tao and Huang Tao were shocked.

The Black Thorn Tower challenge matches combatants with the same evolutionary level and comparable star core strength.

These combatants collect the ability information and combat skills of a large number of Zerg civilization warriors and calculate them into intelligent combat programs.

The two sides are purely fighting in a limited space.

What they are fighting is the will to fight, consciousness, skills and adaptability.

In the Black Thorn Tower, the first to third floors match qualified targets; the fourth to sixth floors match elite targets; and from the seventh floor onwards, the targets are optimized by the intelligent brain program. As you go up the floors, they gradually become "abnormal" and their comprehensive combat power exceeds the scope of normal Zerg warriors.

"Isn't Molan too strong?"

Bai Wei exclaimed, and asked: "Longbai Ant King, what about you?"

Longbai said unhappily: "Molan can fight to the ninth floor, and I am its leader..."

Bai Wei said in disbelief: "Tenth floor?"

"How is it possible!"

Longbai shook his tentacles vigorously and said: "The tenth floor is a fixed 18 famous warriors. They are the 18 most capable demigods of the Zerg civilization in the old universe era. Challenges are limited, and only those above the evolutionary level of the Sujing can challenge. You can choose the challenge object on your own. If you defeat one, you will get a 100 million Yuanjing "small reward". "

"Oh——"

"Is there such a saying?"

"It's not written above! Is this hidden information?"

"Then you have broken through the ninth floor?"

Bai Wei is also a character who never admits defeat. A raging fire ignites in her heart, and her fighting spirit is high. She calls out: "Hongtao, Huangtao, Yuteng, let's continue to challenge the Black Thorn Tower! We won't leave until we break through the ninth floor!" (End of this chapter)
