Astral Ant Tribe

Pandan Mountain.

It's not spring yet.

The Mo Lan Life Seed and Han Lan Life Seed in Mo Lan's territory have blossomed.

Stone Orchid Life Seed and Fruit Fragrance Orchid God-given Seed also drew their foil swords.

There are also two bluegrass nursery plots measuring 3 meters square, and seedlings can be selected and transplanted this year.

Mo Lan began to be busy managing the territory.

Long Bai concentrated on eating.

During my expedition, I ate 24 pandan seeds intermittently.

After returning to the mountains, I spent 5 days and ate 3 more pills.

As expected, I ate a total of 27 pills before and after. I felt dizzy, showing signs of transformation and evolution.

Long Bai informed Mo Lan, held hands on time, and fell into a deep sleep at nightfall.

When it wakes up again, it sheds its old shell, expands in size, and hardens its carapace rapidly.

While waiting, I mentally scanned the situation outside the ant nest: it was dark night, it was raining, and I couldn’t tell the specific time.

——It took about less than two days to sleep.

Long Bai repeatedly looked at himself: gain a lot more weight!

It's not good for a mantis to be too fat.

The ant king should be fatter.

During this evolution, the body size has grown considerably, with the body length being about 13 to 14 centimeters.

Long Bai was very satisfied. He checked the most important life bag again and estimated that it could accommodate the azure god-given seed.

He shook his tentacles and summoned a specialized worker ant standing outside the nest to move the bamboo tube hidden deep in the nest.

Pull out the clogged hay and remove the azure heart-shaped seeds.

Spit out the fertilized ‘Big Fruit Hemlock’ life seeds.

Very extreme, barely able to put the seed given by the blue god into his life bag.

The frequency of molting and evolution should not be too high.

Next, eat one pandan seed every two days, and then eat 27 pandan seeds. The remaining 100 seeds will be sold to the caravan. Exchange them for other comprehensive force food that strengthens the body.

Evolve to the 9th age before summer, no more, no less, just right.

I will be promoted to the intermediate ant king this year!

Long Bai was thinking about the plan, he was in a good mood, came back to his senses, and looked at himself again.

After a small period of evolution, the strengthening effect of pandan seeds appears.

When I woke up from a deep sleep, I didn't feel weak, but I was very hungry.

Long Bai shook his tentacles and called the worker ants to enter the nest chamber with fresh meat shreds in their mouths.

He buried his head in eating while sorting out the inherited memories of evolutionary awakening.

Almost all of it is knowledge about animals and plants, with a new racial talent: the cultivation method of 'micronized soldier ants'.

Equivalent to microchemical worker ants, a particularly tiny soldier ant whose function is of course to hunt down tiny pests such as aphids, scale insects, and red spider mites.

At present, we have mastered micron soldier ants, small soldier ants, medium soldier ants, large soldier ants, specialized soldier ants; micron worker ants, small worker ants, medium worker ants, large worker ants, and specialized worker ants, a total of 10 conventional differentiated ant types.

However, the vast majority are specialized worker ants, which have reached 74, followed by medium-sized worker ants, and the number of other types of differentiated ants is very small.

There are still 12 special chemical worker ant larvae in the incubation room. The total number is 86. They are basically enough and we will no longer cultivate them for the time being.

You can breed two micro worker ants and two micro soldier ants each to see what they look like.

Now that the ant nest is expanding, the number of ant eggs produced will increase significantly, and the number of small, medium and large worker ants working in the incubation room needs to be increased accordingly.

There are too few soldier ants guarding the territory. I feel uneasy every time I go out...

Long Bai thought about it and made up his mind to mainly cultivate soldier ants before evolving into an intermediate ant king.

Eat faster.

The strengthening effect of the God-given Fruit Seed is even more powerful than expected.

The more I eat, the hungrier I get.

I kept eating until dawn, when I was finally not hungry anymore, but not full.

Eating more means that the body's ability to store nutrients and energy is greatly enhanced.

If you eat enough at once, you will not be hungry for two or three days. Under extreme conditions, you will not starve to death for ten days and a half.

The key is that when using the 'Messenger' function of the Throne of Control to lay ant eggs, 3 eggs at a time will definitely be fine, and the cycle may be shortened to 4 days, or even 3 days.

Long Bai was very happy and couldn't wait to test it.

He ate hard until he had consumed all the emergency food stored in the ant nest, and finally felt full.

After a day of rest and adjustment, start trying.

Sure enough, there was a qualitative change. After cultivating 3 ant eggs at a time, there was no feeling of weakness at all.

After a moment of happiness, Long Bai calmed down.

Don't be careless!

It must be kept full at all times.

Shaking his tentacles, he summoned 20 worker ants to escort him, then brought two more soldier ants with him, and marched down the mountain.

After all, he was already an 8-year-old ant king, so he couldn't keep asking Mo Lan to help him hunt.

Long Bai also led the ant colony to search the river bed at the foot of the mountain and dig out the hibernating frogs...

…

The next day, noon.

A message came from the ruling throne:

[Messenger·Producer·Agriculture has entered the second stage of raw energy gestation, should it continue? 】

Two options: [Yes], [No]

Long Bai decisively chose [Yes]

Just like yesterday, the tiny consumption is almost imperceptible.

The third day, noon.

The message came again from the ruling throne:

[Messenger·Producer·Agriculture has entered the third stage of raw energy gestation, should it continue? 】

Longbai Select【Yes】

On the fourth day,

Three ant eggs have been gestated.

Long Bai asked the worker ants to take it away and move it to the incubation room, and then chose to activate the messenger function.

After a pass of selection, the blue light scanned.

[In poor physical condition and imbalanced nutrients, please pay attention to a balanced diet and maintain adequate sleep and rest]

[Messenger function is closed]

Long Bai: ???

--balanced diet?

——After meeting Mo Lan, he basically eats meat, and most of the time he eats frogs...

——But there was no such problem before.

Sleep rest? He spent most of his time lying on the throne to rest.

Long Bai thought about it and couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Shaking his tentacles, he called and led 20 specialized worker ants and 2 specialized soldier ants out of the nest. They rummaged through the trees in the nearby forest and caught some beetle larvae to improve their food.

Get a good night's sleep and try again the next day.

…

After successfully completing the selection process, you enter the original energy gestation stage.

Is the ant egg breeding completed every four days now? 3 ant eggs each time.

It's good to do it every three days. On average, it's one ant egg a day.

What's the matter with the imbalance of nutrients? Can we enrich the food types?

Long Bai troubled Mo Lan and asked him to run away and hunted a goat and a wild boar back.

He took the ant colony with him and rummaged through the underground trees for the larvae and egg cases of various insects.

Try some of all kinds.

Still not working.

Long Bai guessed that some of the ruling thrones may have taken away the nutrients to produce ant eggs and needed to be synthesized by the own body, so a certain interval of time was required.

The current speed is sufficient, so let’s not think about it for now.
