Astral Ant Tribe

The evolution of a junior warrior to an intermediate warrior usually requires about 10 days of sleep.

During this period, it is most taboo to be disturbed, especially not to scan with mental power. Force creatures are sensitive to mental power and can be easily awakened, causing the evolution to be abandoned halfway, with consequences ranging from starting over again to fatal consequences.

…

Long Bai stood guard outside the cave where Mo Lan lived, occasionally looking inside and not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Timing is carved at the entrance of the cave,

One day, two days, three days...

On the afternoon of the fourth day, weak force fluctuations came from the cave.

Long Bai looked around.

The oval-shaped 'Force Cocoon' is rapidly converging and dissipating.

On the ruling throne, Mo Lan's two pairs of wings fell off, her carapace was dim, a crack appeared on her forehead, her body shook, and the crack in her carapace quickly spread to her back.

Shed off the old shell.

A brand new carapace of pinkish white and pink, and new wings slowly spread out.

Mo Lan's body also lengthened, until it was about 30 centimeters in length. The original bloated figure changed and became slender.

When exposed to air, it solidifies at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Long Bai?

After waking up from a deep sleep, Mo Lan was in a trance.

Mo Lan, congratulations on being successfully promoted to intermediate warrior!

Long Bai: Are you hungry? I'll go look for something to eat...

After that, he left and started searching in the nearby mountains and forests.

The fifth-instar junior ant king has poor hunting ability. Long Bai ran back and forth several times and caught 7 grasshoppers in the grass.

Mo Lan took one bite at a time, ate something, regained some strength, and went out to hunt by herself.

…

From a junior warrior to an intermediate warrior, it is a breakthrough in a major realm, a leap in life level, a significant increase in overall strength, and a life span extended to 30 to 50 years.

The moment Mo Lan completed her breakthrough, the fruity orchid god-given seed changed.

Overnight, the mother plant grew by about 10 centimeters, and new buds and leaves sprouted. At the same time, all seven branches withered, and the underground stems spread.

Each ramet derives 3 underground stems, which is a triple ramet.

Although it is not the 5x or 7x ratio that Long Bai and Mo Lan expected, it is not the worst either.

Over the course of a day, the underground stems of the ramets grow.

In one day, the original 7 ramets and the 21 new ramets all sprouted.

In one day, the buds grow to a height of five to six centimeters, and new buds emerge.

In another day, it will grow into a vigorous seedling about ten centimeters tall.

After another 15 days of growth, the height of the mother plant and branches of the God-given orchid orchid exceeded 1 meter.

Other orchid species of Molan are also growing, and they are also divided into branches, but the growth rate is much slower, and the number of branches is very small, and the height is far less than that of the God-given species.

…

When Mo Lan was a junior warrior, there were foxes, wild boars, giant pythons, eagles, wolves, bears, tigers, leopards and other large beasts in the mountains and forests that were unbeatable.

After evolving into an intermediate warrior, he rested for a while, and his combat power reached its peak. Molan began to clean up these guys who often threatened the security of the territory.

The uneaten corpses were cut up, dug in pits and buried near the plants.

There are many more. Plan the planting location of the next seed in advance, bury the compost, and improve the soil fertility first.

The entire 10-kilometer radius was swept and patrolled regularly until no wild beasts dared to approach.

…

It's late spring,

Long Bai keenly felt that he was about to evolve, so he informed Mo Lan, put down all the work at hand, calmed down, lay down on the throne of control, and concentrated on absorbing the force.

Within two days, strong sleepiness came over me...

…

Awakened a lot of knowledge about animals and plants.

After waking up from a deep sleep and shedding his old carapace, Long Bai lay on the throne of control, lowered his head, and sorted out his memories.

Quickly find the most important inherited knowledge: the cultivation of specialized worker ants

What are the uses of specialized chemical worker ants?

Very useful!

The jaws of soldier ants are only good at killing prey.

The jaws of worker ants are better suited for digging earth and rocks.

You can cultivate a group of specialized worker ants and command them to dig a reservoir, dig aqueducts, etc. in their territory.

Sixth-year-old junior warrior, I should have enough physical strength now to support the throne of domination to generate two ant eggs at a time, right?

Long Bai thought and climbed down from the throne.

The sleeping time for this evolution should not be long, and he had eaten and drank enough beforehand, so he didn't feel too weak when he woke up.

Long Bai climbed straight out of the ant nest.

Long Bai! Wake up!

Mo Lan, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, said hello, surprised, stared at Long Bai, and then said slightly disappointedly:

Wow, Long Bai, you are still so small.

Ants are inherently smaller than mantises.

Male ants are smaller than female ants.

The 6-year-old junior ant king has evolved. Long Bai's body length is only seven or eight centimeters, slender and slender. According to this growth pattern, I am afraid that if he is promoted to an intermediate ant king in the future, his body length will not exceed 20 centimeters.

Incomparable to Mo Lan.

Long Bai, where is your life seed?

exist……

The dragon cypress opened its mouth and spit out the 5-year-old cypress seeds.

Shaking its tentacles, a small worker ant ran out, moved it back to the ant nest, and put it into a bamboo tube filled with water for soaking.

It's still spring at this time, so there's still time to sow seeds. Giant cypress can tolerate drought and heat, so there won't be much of a problem.

A few more medium-sized worker ants came out of the nest with food in their mouths and fed Long Bai.

Mo Lan, how many days have I slept?

One day? You started evolving last night, and it's only mid-afternoon now. It takes less than a day. The Dominion Throne is so powerful.

Mo Lan then asked: Longbai, what plant should I choose as my 6th-year-old plant? Orchid?

Mo Lan was promoted to an intermediate warrior, and at Long Bai's strong request, he chose a large-fruited hemlock seed as his life seed.

Now, Mo Lan also wanted to advise Long Bai to choose an orchid seed as his destiny seed.

Of course Long Bai couldn't agree.

Mo Lan, the dried cedar seeds you gave me last time were very good, I decided to choose them!

Long Bai quickly changed the subject and asked: Mo Lan, has the god-given orchid seed bloomed?

Mo Lan: No. It's still early. I'm just worried that it won't bloom this year.

Long Bai: How is it growing? Let's take a look!

…

The 28 ramets of the God-given fruit orchid have grown, and the underground stems are developing and need time to accumulate energy.

Molan can communicate with Fruity Orchid through spiritual power.

After asking, the fruit orchid itself is not sure whether it will bloom this year.

Long Bai couldn't see it even more.

Wait and see.

…

Different varieties of orchids have quite different flowering seasons.

Black orchids bloom in early spring, stone orchids bloom in late spring, and cold orchids bloom in early summer.

Common fruit orchids only bloom in mid-summer.

The flowering period of the God-given fruit orchid has moved forward, blooming in early summer.

I just evolved ramets once, and now I have 28 ramets. I’m not sure if I can catch up this year.

Long Bai was as concerned about its growth as Mo Lan, and went over to check it every two days.

The weather is a bit hot in early summer.

Finally, with expectant eyes, all 28 branches of the fruit orchid took out their foils one after another.

Plump and strong, it should bloom and set seeds smoothly.

After Long Bai inspected it, he made a judgment.

Yeah. Yeah.

great!

Mo Lan cheered and tilted his head to do math.

If each branch still blooms 11 flowers and each flower produces 1 orchid seed, then we can harvest this year...

Mo Lan thought hard, but couldn't figure it out.

Long Bai: That's 308 fruit pandan seeds. The force food that strengthens comprehensive endurance is of high value. However, Mo Lan, you are only an intermediate warrior now, and the corresponding quality is slightly lower. I estimate that each one purchased by the caravan The selling price of fruity orchid seeds ranges from 5 to 8 rough stones, and the details still depend on the quality.”

Long Bai: “We are short of time this year, so the quality may be slightly worse.”

Long Bai: Based on 5 rough stones, your income this year is also 1,540 rough stones!

Long Bai: Mo Lan, when the time comes, you will repay me the fruit orchid seeds worth 140 raw stones. Then, lend me some more?

OK……

Mo Lan: Long Bai, thanks to you, I was able to evolve into an intermediate warrior so quickly. This year's harvest is all thanks to you. Let's share the fruit orchid seeds equally.

Okay... Long Bai hesitated for a moment and agreed happily.

Mo Lan really relied on the force food he borrowed from the Zeqi Spider King to be able to advance before the season.

But splitting it in half seems a bit unethical.

Long Bai is a principled and conscientious insect.

Mo Lan, I will urgently cultivate a group of small and medium-sized soldier ants to guard the God-given fruit orchids and kill those nasty pests.

Long Bai: Create another batch of special chemical worker ants, and first help you dig a biogas pool near your territory.

Mo Lan: Biogas pool?

Long Bai briefly explained: This is a nutrient-preparing technology that has no inherited memory, but is mastered by almost every Zerg in the Ten Thousand Races Continent. Store an appropriate amount of water, put in various plant branches and leaves, seal it and let it rot. It’s the fertilizer, water and digestate that plants need to grow.”
