Astral Ant Tribe

The Black Thorn Tower is a battle in a limited area.

Random scenes may be oceans, forests, lakes, swamps, mountains, deserts, or space, or even some extreme stars.

For each level, you must fight and win three games in a row to pass.

…

Longbai finally came to the star column to operate.

Black Thorn Tower Challenge Mode.

Third level.

Scene change.

The scorching sun is hanging in the sky.

In the endless desert, the wind is howling, blowing up dust all over the sky.

On the sand dunes a thousand meters away, a bright silver ant warrior who looks like Zuo Wang is staring at this side.

The silver ant is known for its speed!

Longbai moved quickly, the dual energy of water and fire flowed, the blue and purple umbrella bird pattern covered the whole body, and the rainbow water droplets floated out...

Puff~Sizzle~

Hoo~La~

Bright silver light and shadow flashed continuously.

Just as Longbai prepared his defense, the Silver Ant Warrior approached him, as fast as lightning and extremely flexible, changing back and forth, and attacking three times in a row, triggering the collapse of the Umbrella Bird's defense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three elements of power, wind, and earth in Longbai's body burst out, and the whirlwind rolled up gravel, and was shaken by the angry super strong force, turning into splash attacks in all directions.

The Silver Ant obviously expected this move, and his figure flashed and dodged lightly.

In the Black Thorn Tower Challenge, the matching combat object is not only at the same evolutionary level and the same star core ability strength as himself, but also knows all of his abilities and how to crack them.

And the challenger Longbai has no idea what abilities the other party has, what he is good at and what he is not good at, and what fatal attacks the other party has hidden.

A challenge with unequal information.

Longbai took advantage of the moment when he forced the other party back, and the rainbow water droplets flew out, expanded and wrapped his whole body, pulling it into the ground.

The sand dune bulged and squirmed, transforming into a sand leech with a body length of more than 30 kilometers.

At the same time,

The silver ant also activated its ability, and the sky and the earth darkened. The sunlight seemed to be swallowed up in an instant. The yellow sand gathered, and a giant lava ant stood up.

The sand leech and the giant lava ant rushed towards each other at the same time, collided with each other, and there was a loud bang, sand and stones flew everywhere, and magma splashed...

...

Longbai's evolution to the star realm did not reduce the difficulty of clearing the Black Thorn Tower. On the contrary, it only felt that the matched combat object was more ferocious, to the point where there was no way to win the battle.

The challenge failed.

Failed.

Failed.

Failed again...

After countless defeats and accumulating countless combat experiences, finally, on the third floor of the Black Thorn Tower, in the third jungle battle scene, the red-veined narrow-blind bug warrior was captured by the tentacles of the giant carnivorous flower and dragged into the cage to be suffocated.

"Finally I broke through."

"After reaching the fourth floor, I am also an elite Zerg warrior selected from a hundred."

Long Bai muttered, exited the challenge mode, returned to the spacious hall, and opened the Star Network account to check.

[Time: 78th Century - 159th Yuan - 799th Year - February]

The meeting time agreed with the Four Numbers President is coming soon.

Long Bai sent a message to Bai Wei and was the first to exit.

The hatch opened.

Long Bai's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly got out of the cocoon nest.

Soul bond sensing, Cuibai and Yinbai are very close to him!

——Why are they here?

——The second king didn't come?

——Is there something wrong with Xianglan Mountain?

Long Bai didn't have time to wait for Bai Wei, and ran out of the building quickly. His soul-fixing ability swept over and he was shocked again.

Captain Ang Tianlian!

Alocasia, Gan Sui, Ying Ye, Zi Chan

Old spider Shui Gan also followed.

…

"Captain Longbai!"

Seeing Longbai, Ang Tianlian waved his front paws to signal.

"My king!"

"This way!"

"The second king sent us here."

"We have a deal to discuss with you."

"We sensed that you were practicing here, but we couldn't lock the specific number of the cocoon nest and couldn't contact you, so we're waiting."

Cuibai and Yinbai spoke quickly and briefly introduced the situation.

"Captain Ang Tianlian!"

"Eagle Leaf! Purple Cicada!"

"President Gan Sui! President Hai Yu! President Shui Gan, you're here too."

Longbai greeted and exchanged pleasantries.

Cuibai activated the ability of the tree flower heart realm, and directly compiled the communication between Mo Lan and Ang Tianlian and their group, as well as the initial deal reached, into a piece of information, and wrote it into Longbai's soul consciousness.

Longbai buried his head in reading.

His antennae trembled, and he secretly rejoiced.

His eyes lit up.

Reclaim the technological star core in the claws of the Angtianlian at a price of 100 million per core? That's a good idea!

The artist's armor cannot be recast?

The leader-class starship cannot be cracked.

Molan is really bold~

No!

Molan was attracted by the gorgeous appearance of the leader-class starship and wanted it with all his heart!

Crystal throne?

Only the approximate location of the Crystal Throne Galaxy Cluster in the old universe era was found...

There is no relevant record of the White Tower civilization at all...

This is probably difficult.

"It's very difficult~"

Longbai's expression changed from cloudy to bright.

Fortunately.

Molan still had some sense and didn't chase after him and clamor to take down the leader-class starship.

"Longbai Ant King, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Ang Tianlian suggested, sighing secretly.

When they first met, Longbai was still an inconspicuous little ant king who had just entered the half-star realm.

In just 20,000 years, his group only went to the Dawn Galaxy and the Lizhu Galaxy.

When they met again, Longbai was already in the star realm, and he was also the leader of a powerful force with unlimited potential, gathering thousands of ant kings and queen bees from the mother star.

The status of both parties has been changed invisibly.

Ang Tianlian spoke politely.

The attitudes of Yingye, Zichan, Haiyu, and Gan Sui also became obviously polite.

"Wait a moment."

Long Bai said: "Coincidentally, I also met Bai Wei and her group on a long journey. They will come out soon."

"Bai Wei?"

Shui Gan got angry when he heard it.

You two are really in cahoots with each other.

Shui Gan remained calm on the surface and asked casually: "Captain Longbai, I heard from Chief Molan that you came to the Eight-pointed Star System alone to certify your abilities? Why is President Bai Wei here too?"

"We met by chance."

Longbai: "There are many entertainment activities in the Eight-pointed Star System, so President Bai Wei and her friends came here to have fun. In addition, they also plan to wholesale some small commodities produced by human civilization, take them back, and sell them in their own shops to enrich the categories of goods in the shops."

"Does President Bai Wei plan to expand the scope of transactions?"

Shui Gan said: "I know two spiders here who are responsible for contacting and trading with human civilization. I can help introduce them and give them a lot of discounts."

Longbai: "That's great. Thank you, President Shui Gan..."

As he was talking,

Bai Wei led Hongtao, Huangtao, and Yuteng and ran over quickly.

"Ah!"

"President Shui Gan!"

"Ah!"

"Captain Ang Tianlian!"

"My most respected old president Gan Sui! Old president Hai Yu..."

After another round of greetings.

Long Bai activated the ability of the tree flower heart realm, summarized the situation into a string of information, and directly wrote it into the soul consciousness of Bai Wei, Hong Tao, Huang Tao, and Yu Teng.

Wait for two seconds,

Long Bai said: "Captain Ang Tianlian, let's go to outer space and try it first..."

Ang Tianlian simply said: "Okay! Follow me."

Long Bai: "No! Follow me."

…

Long Bai led the way and led the insects into a forest without insects.

Release the half-ant artist and call everyone to enter the cabin.

Flashing and flickering, continuously shuttled through space, teleporting to the sky 100 kilometers away.

Another round of continuous space teleportation, away from the star system.

"Everyone, we will perform space jumps next. If there is a dimensional space, be careful to seal it up."

Long Bai reminded.

The insects did as they were told.

The half-ant artist activated his ability to jump and instantly entered the depths of the starry sky.

The fleshy barrier of the cabin squirmed and a door opened.

The insects flew out.

The six-headed old spider looked around and finally locked his gaze on the direction of the eight star systems.

"Longbai Ant King, how far is this?"

"0.8 light years!"

"!!!"

"It's not very efficient to convert ordinary energy into space energy through the technological star core, right?"

"About 20 days."

"Ah! That's close to 15 times the speed of light!"

"Almost! The key is flexibility, and it's very practical for short and medium-range navigation."

"I feel that the space teleportation ability granted by the technological star core is more practical."

"Yes. For activities within the life planet, the teleportation ability is most used, with little noise, fast movement, and convenient and fast."

Longbai took the initiative to introduce the situation: "I successfully merged the crystal space granted by the technological star core with the Shanglu space. After the star realm, the diameter is 4,800 meters, upgraded to the world space, which is also the 'Huan' defined by your Flame Spider tribe, with endless uses."

The introduction is over.

Longbai's tentacles flicked gently.

The half-ant artist shrank sharply and turned into an upright artist.

"Where is the artist's armor? Captain Ang Tianlian, take it out and let's try it?"

"Okay!"

Ang Tianlian was impatient and didn't say much nonsense. He slightly adjusted his direction, and the divine pattern on his forehead burst into a violent white light. The space in front was turbulent, and he first released the leader-class starship.

Gently waved his hand.

A gorgeous dark purple rainbow light lit up in the darkness, and the artist's armor appeared directly in front of the floating artist.

"Longbai Ant King! Try it!"

"..."

No need to try.

The artist already had a sense of the close contact.

The intelligent brain functioned autonomously and provided instructions for use.

Long Bai had an idea.

The artist slightly opened his hind legs to the level of his shoulders, and stretched his front feet to the level of his shoulders.

The originally integrated armor was broken down into large components, flying and moving, and reassembled on the artist's body. The built-in mechanical mechanism rotated, tightly fitting, leaving only 133 tentacles on the top of the head exposed and flying.

The purple-red technology star core was like a key, directly activating the armor and gaining 100% control.

Long Bai calmly comprehended.

The intelligent brain function was running at the same time, and soon he had an epiphany. The space energy surged, covering the 133 tentacles that the armor could not cover with a layer of scale-like defense, and at the tip, a space blade of about 10 cm was extended.

The artist's front feet drooped, and two purple-black blades extended from the elbow joint.

The hidden weapon made of space materials! The jaws, claws, ridges, and shell thorns of Zerg warriors are specially used for close combat.

Long Bai's thoughts moved again.

The "space blade" ability attached to the technology star core was activated, which just matched the weapon, forming an indestructible space energy edge on the surface of the weapon.

"Wow!"

Bai Wei was amazed and shouted, "A majestic alien warrior! He looks very capable!"

Yin Bai echoed: "The artist wearing the armor looks much more pleasing to the eye. Before, he looked like a ball of food."

Ang Tianlian asked: "How is it, Chief Long Bai?"

Long Bai: "Perfect fit!"

Ang Tianlian: "What abilities does the armor have?"

Long Bai: "It can't be considered an ability. The correct name should be 'function'."

"I think the strongest function of the armor should be the space energy reserve. It can reserve the space energy equivalent to the star core of the contract master, and follow the contract master. The evolutionary level of the armor is improved synchronously. "

"The second is the defensive function. The armor itself has super high defensive capabilities. After injecting space energy, it can also add a layer of defensive shield. In the same evolutionary level, it is not unbreakable, but its defense is definitely superior. "

"In addition, the armor comes with two combat weapons, arm blades and whiskers, which greatly enhance the power of spatial capabilities. Combined with space teleportation, it can shuttle through space and assassinate, and it is invincible. "

Ang Tianlian: "What else?"

Long Bai: "No more."

Ang Tianlian: "..."

Such a large set of armor, the exclusive heavy weapon of the leader of civilization, has only this little ability?

Ang Tianlian didn't believe it and said suspiciously, "Chief Longbai, if you don't tell me the truth, it will be difficult for us to negotiate this deal!"

"Really no more!"

Longbai analyzed, "Artists have spatial talents, and they are one of the strongest warriors of the White Tower civilization. They must have mastered many powerful spatial abilities, and there is no need to obtain abilities through armor."

"The body structure of artists is similar to that of humans. Their flesh and blood bodies are too fragile. For artists, the main function of armor is to improve defense. By the way, it also comes with some other auxiliary functions."

"Oh——"

"That's right!"

Ang Tianlian was disappointed.

The thing fell into the claws of the Zerg warrior, and its defensive function became useless.

The value of weapons is not high.

Only the function of storing a large amount of space energy is worth some money.

The thing can't be sold at a particularly high price.

Ang Tianlian raised his claws and pointed at the leader-class starship, saying: "Captain Longbai, try this again!"

"Okay--"

Longbai's tentacles swayed lightly, and the artist teleported to the starship, raised his front feet, and pressed on the side wall of the starship.

With another thought, the majestic space energy was injected into the starship through the two front feet.

The starship was instantly activated, and a purple-red light spot with a diameter of half a meter lit up in the middle of the left side, and the light flowed to form a complex pattern.

The artist disappeared on the spot.

—— OK!

The six-headed old spider was overjoyed to see this.

Longbai secretly exerted his strength, communicated with the soul, controlled the artist, and scanned the interior of the starship with his mental power. At the same time, he teleported in space and quickly completed the search for the starship.

Then disappointment.

The interior of the starship is divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower.

A cockpit.

A gorgeously decorated living room.

A dining room that seems to be used for eating.

An open, reinforced activity cabin.

The rest are rooms for rest, totaling 72 rooms.

All empty.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Longbai called.

The leader-class starship adjusted slightly, facing everyone on the left side, and three purple-red round spots lit up at the same time, casting beams.

Longbai, Angtianlian, Haiyu, Gansui...

There are fixed 'seats' inside the starship.

One after another, all the insects were teleported to the designated seats in the living room.

"Look for it!"

Angtianlian swept his mental power and led the five spiders to act quickly, opening all the rooms and checking them, followed by disappointment.

The insects gathered in the living room again.

Ying Ye entered the cockpit alone and started to check...

Bai Wei, who was eccentric, also realized that everyone was starting to inspect the goods and was going to discuss a huge deal worth hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars.

Bai Wei tactfully fell silent and serious.

Ying Ye specializes in starship maintenance.

The insects silently watched Ying Ye's actions.

After a long wait,

Long Bai saw that there was no response and controlled the artist to enter the cockpit.

The entire cabin had only one black crystal hexagonal column about two meters high, with a sharp top and a shape similar to half of the original crystal.

There were dense sockets on both sides.

The artist's tentacles extended from the top of his head, docked with the sockets, and continued to inject energy.

Dense white energy veins rose from the surface of the black crystal, forming a tree-shaped pattern with a slightly peculiar shape.

——The sacred tree of the space law!

——Willful stars!

Long Bai and the five old spiders led by Ang Tianlian recognized it at a glance.

"Long Bai Ant King?"

Ang Tianlian asked.

"The purple-red technology star core can start the starship..."

"I'll try again!"

While speaking, Long Bai quickly walked into the cockpit, manipulated the artist, and indirectly communicated with the black crystal through the artist.

Received a brief prompt message: [Please name]

Long Bai hesitated slightly, and indirectly passed a message through the artist: [Taber]

Received another message: [Named successfully, 3-5 type leader ship: Taber]

3-5 type?

Long Bai was not very surprised and waited patiently.

But there was no prompt for the next step.

"Taber?"

Long Bai tried to call.

"I'm here. Please give instructions."

A response came from the top of the starship.

Long Bai asked: "Is there a holographic projection function?"

Taber replied stiffly: "Yes--"

This intelligent brain is not very flexible...

A normal intelligent brain should take the initiative to ask for any instructions.

Longbai ordered: "Open the Crystal Throne star map."

Taber: "The database has not retrieved the Crystal Throne star map information."

"???"

Longbai sent a questioning mental thought.

Taber mechanically repeated: "The database has not retrieved the Crystal Throne star map information."

"..."

Longbai said: "Where is the White Tower civilization? I want to see the star map of the galaxy where the White Tower civilization is located."

Taber: "The database has not retrieved the White Tower civilization related information. The coordinates and star map of the White Tower civilization have not been detected."

The insects in the starship looked at each other and confirmed one thing at the same time: the damn artist cleared all the starship data before he died.

Lacking data support, the intelligent brain program returned to the initial state, so it seemed mechanical and dull.

Longbai thought for a moment and gave the order: "Taber, start the detection function, scan the situation in the nearby star field and project it in real time."

Taber: "The starship's energy reserves are insufficient, please replenish energy immediately."

"Replenishment method one, source point collection."

"Replenishment method two, activate the original crystal. The original crystal reserve is zero, please refill it in time."

"Emergency replenishment method, please inject space energy through the console."

Longbai tapped his tentacles.

The artist's 133 tentacles on his head docked with the crystal console again, and all the space energy of the reserve technology star core was injected at once.

Another order was given: "Taber, start the detection function, scan the situation in the nearby star field and project it in real time."

Taber: "Detection function activated."

The tip of the black crystal shot a beam of white light upwards, which flashed and disappeared.

Like refraction, the black dome of the cockpit cast a beam of light.

In the dark cabin, a tiny white dot representing the 'leader ship-Taber' lit up.

A half-virtualized purple-red spherical cover emanated from the white dot and slowly expanded.

The detected area and scanning progress were displayed intuitively.

Longbai issued another command: "Taber, activate the universal compass function, retrieve the stars within a 1-light-year range around, and project them."

Taber: "The universal compass positioning function is activated."

Taber: "The universal compass positioning is complete, and one star is detected."

In the dark cabin, four or five meters away from the tiny white dot representing the 'leader ship-White Tower', a red spot lit up: the star of the Eight-Haired Star System

The purple-red spherical cover representing the detection range is expanding at a rate of about 1 cm per second.

The insects waited patiently,

and soon approached the Eight-Haired Star System.

The red dot representing the Eight-Haired Star System flashed brightly and rapidly.

Taber sent a fierce warning: [Warning, Force energy field sensing, there are unknown third-level cosmic life forms in the star system ahead, a large number of second-level cosmic life forms, and an 'absolute silent field' of metal civilization. Our detection has alerted the other party. Our position has been exposed. Forced reconnaissance may be regarded as an invasion. Do you want to continue?]

Ying Ye was very anxious and shouted, "Captain Longbai! Don't do it! The Baxiang star system has a special status and is strictly managed. Be careful not to attract the bugs from the Baijing Chamber of Commerce's combat department."

"Stop!"

"Taber, stop quickly! Cancel detection! Cancel holographic projection! Full silent mode! Sub-light speed navigation, stay away."

Longbai gave the order.

The cockpit fell into darkness again.

The starship began to move, continued to accelerate, and quietly escaped, away from the Baxiang star system.

"..."

"Ying Ye, what do you think?"

Longbai asked.

"It's very troublesome..."

"One."

"Incomprehensible alien science and technology."

Ying Ye said depressedly: "The starship control system is also made of this strange crystal material, which cannot be forcibly dismantled and cracked. The purple-red technology star core is the only key to control it. Otherwise, Longbai Ant King, you sell the technology star core to us, otherwise, we will sell the technology star core to Longbai Ant King."

Longbai said nothing and looked at Ang Tianlian.

Ang Tianlian: "The ownership of the Artist Armor belongs to me, Gan Sui, Hai Yu, and Chief Longbai. As long as the price is right, we will sell it."

"The ownership of the Leader-class starship belongs to Yingye and Zichan, so the decision-making power naturally lies with them. However, I think it is impossible for Chief Longbai to sell the technological star core, right? Then it can only be Yingye and Zichan who sell the Leader-class starship to the Longbai Ant King. What we need to discuss is the price."

Ang Tianlian said, raised his paw to signal, and said: "Let's go to the living room to discuss in detail..." (End of this chapter)
