Astral Ant Tribe

This large mountain range that traverses the due west region is more than 1,000 kilometers long from north to south and was once home to hundreds of tribes, large and small.

To the south of Citi Mountain, there are three large tribes that control the raw stone veins. The closest one is called Yexiang Mountain, which is directly connected to the territory of the Tribe.

After half a night and half a day's flight, we arrived at our destination.

Under the scorching sun, the ruling throne hovered high in the sky. Long Bai and Mo Lan lay on the edge of the tree stump ant nest and looked down.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are towering mountains, dangerous peaks and cliffs, and in the center is a gourd-shaped lake.

There is almost no change from what is recorded on the Citizen Mountain map. There is a small river rushing down from the mountain stream, flowing in from the "bottom" of the gourd, and a gurgling clear spring slowly flowing out from the mouth of the gourd.

Once upon a time, the Zhidun Tribe had a very famous, but tasteless, god-given tree named 'Ye Xiang'. The edible effect of the force fruit it produced was to confer special abilities, and its name was also called Ye Xiang: [Release A disorienting aroma that completely covers up your own scent]

Isn't it unnecessary to use one breath to cover up another breath?

For the first time, Long Bai and Mo Lan knew that a divine seed could be useless.

The ruling throne descended and rested at the mouth of the gourd-shaped lake.

There are pictures in the Palace of Knowledge, and it is probably in this area that the seeds of the night fragrance were planted.

Normally, the wild divine seeds will be paid special attention to by the Zerg tribe and hidden, and powerful warriors will be sent to guard them around the clock. They will be kept strictly confidential and protected, and foreign warriors will never be allowed to approach.

The God-given Night Fragrance seed was different. It was planted openly by the lake, in the square where the tribe and traveling merchants traded.

Warriors from the Strait Shield Tribe, Flame Spider Travelers, or other tribal warriors with good relationships can approach, visit, and communicate with each other.

If necessary, you can communicate with Yexiang God-given Seeds yourself to discuss the price.

After the negotiation was completed, the seeds given by the God of Night Fragrance blossomed and yielded divine fruits that conferred special powers.

The Zhidun Tribe basically ignores the seeds given by the God of Night Fragrance and lets it operate independently and rely on its own efforts.

"Long Bai, is it here? Go dig it?"

"What to dig for?"

"It's the rough stone given by the God of Night Incense. It's clearly recorded on the mural that it hid the rough stone it earned by the lake."

Are you awake?

"Don't waste time. I'm going to catch two fish, cook them and eat them. Let's get to work."

After Long Bai finished speaking, he flapped his wings and took off, flying close to the lake.

"oh!"

Mo Lan took off and plunged into the dense forest in the mountains.

…

Eat and drink enough and rest for half a day.

Long Bai also looked around for a long time and located three towering peaks suitable for building a nest.

In the evening, the cool breeze from the mountains takes away the heat of the day, which is a good time to work.

Long Bai chose a location, called Mo Lan, and started digging together.

The same stupid method as the excavation of the Ninghu ruins was to find a steep location on the lower side of the mountain and dig a tunnel parallel to the inside of the mountain.

The rock in this mountain is very hard, so digging is very difficult.

In the vacuum environment of the Force, after digging for a while, you have to return to the throne of dominance to rest.

For four consecutive days, we dug into the mountain to a depth of fifty or sixty meters, but found nothing.

It can basically be determined that it is not this mountain.

There are two more, which seem to be about the same height...

The ruler's throne was parked by the lake, where he cooked and rested around a large metal pot.

"Mo Lan, dig on another hill."

"good!"

"Which mountain? You choose."

"Um--"

Mo Lan hesitated. The price of making the wrong choice would be four days of wasted work.

There are still more than thirty ruins of large tribes that once had a population of over 10,000 in Yunji Continent waiting to be explored.

What he and Long Bai lack most is time.

"Which one?" Mo Lan hesitated, raised his front foot and pointed.

Long Bai: "Then let's take another one!"

Cymbidium:"???"

Long Bai: "From experience, whenever you make a choice with full confidence, it will come true. On the contrary, when you have insufficient confidence, you will make mistakes."

Long Bai: "You obviously lacked confidence just now."

Cymbidium:"……"

It seems to make some sense~

Mo Lan retorted speechlessly.

Both hills look the same.

Ok, deal.

Rest for half a day, go up the mountain in the evening, choose a location, and start digging.

Four days later,

still none.

Then there is only the last mountain left suitable for building a settlement nest.

Four more days later,

Long Bai suddenly became suspicious of Yisheng.

"Mo Lan... found it! The rock wall has been enhanced with earth-type abilities."

"oh!"

"Great!"

From behind, Mo Lan cheered and beat with her claws, "I told you to dig this first. If you don't believe me, it's a waste of time. If you don't believe me, it's a waste of time..."

"Be gentle. Don't scratch my wing membrane..."

"Four days wasted!"

"Then hurry up and find the entrance! Move back..."

Exit the cave noisily.

Eat, rest and observe the mountains.

Finally, Long Bai chose a cliff facing the southwest of the lake.

In front of the cliff is a flat hillside, which is the most suitable location for opening a cave entrance.

"Mo Lan, point to the location and I'll dig it."

"here?"

When it came time to make a choice, Mo Lan suddenly felt guilty again, gently raised her paw and pointed.

--good!

--trust you!

--start!

Long cypress is excavated directly.

Stick to the cliff, vertically downward.

Long Bai dug, and Mo Lan used a bag made of animal skin to carry the earth and rocks out and dump them.

The first pitfall, no.

Mo Lan pointed again.

The second pitfall is still wrong.

Mo Lan pointed again, but it was still wrong...

In this place, Long Bai dug deeper, pausing for a long time to dig one pit, and then dug five pits in a row. Finally, when the sixth pit was dug to a depth of more than four meters, Long Bai glanced around with his mental strength and touched the hard stone wall.

Reinforced passage walls.

The entrance is at the front.

Redeem and excavate.

After some twists and turns, the entrance to the ruins of Yexiang Mountain was finally found and dug out.

Mo Lan rushed ahead and ran in.

Long Bai followed calmly.

Zerg warriors lack imagination and innovation ability, and the design and layout of the caves they live in are similar.

After entering, there is a hall where distinguished guests or tribal stewards and warriors gather for meetings.

A spiral downward passage leads to the tribal treasure house.

A long, horizontal, straight passage leads to the cave where the tribe's top warriors live.

Inside the living cave, there are two remains of Zhishishi tribe warriors, one large and one small.

Mo Lan, who was the first to rush into the treasure house, ran back holding a branch cut into a length of about one meter.

"Long Bai! The remnant of the seed given by God!"

"What tree?"

"do not know."

"See the leaves?"

"did not see it."

"It should be that the Zerg warriors who were the last to clean up the mess were lazy and gave up the twigs and leaves, and only collected the trunk."

"Yes."

Mo Lan threw the tree trunk to Long Bai and turned around to leave.

Too much time had passed, and the surface of the tree trunk had become carbonized and turned black, making it impossible to identify the tree species. Long Bai looked at it twice, threw it on the ground, and walked down the passage at a faster speed.

It has a structure similar to that of Citizen Hill, Ninghu Lake, and Black Lotus Lake. The spiral downward passage has a fork at intervals, leading to a cave where raw stones are stored.

After the raw stones were exhausted, the last Zerg warrior cut the remains of the god-given seed into pieces and packed them in.

Long Bai unfolded his mental power and walked along the way, scanning the caves one by one.

Mo Lan ran over holding another tree trunk.

"Dragon cypress! It's not the same kind of tree! The second kind of remnant of a god-given tree."

"Normal. Yexiang Mountain controls a vein of raw stone, which is quite rich. Look for any raw stone left behind."

"Yes! Original stone!"

Mo Lan dropped the tree trunk, turned around and ran out again.

This time it took a long time to leave the ruling throne. Long Bai was worried that it would forget the danger when it was happy and start running after it.

One breath to the end.

At the bottom of the treasure house is a square cave with a side length of about ten meters, with the entrance blocked by gray powder.

——Original stone powder? !

The mental power was swept into the cave, and a wooden pile about 1 meter in diameter and about 1 meter in height was buried in the center.

Long Bai and Mo Lan jumped up in shock.

A wild god-given seed, cut from the twigs at the heart of the tree!

This cave was once filled with rough stones, and the original force was extracted by this wooden pile and turned into powder.

So……

Long Bai stepped forward to excavate, peeling away the somewhat hardened powder, and moved closer, scanning the interior through the wooden piles with his mental strength.

There is still a faint trace of vitality left!

"Tree heart?" Long Bai couldn't believe it.

"Alive!"

Mo Lan exclaimed.

"Quick! Carry it out!"

Long Bai shouted, his thoughts suddenly changed, he changed his mind, and changed his words: "Be careful! Cut it open! Take out the heart of the tree and take it to the throne of control to replenish the force."
