Astral Ant Tribe

Luo Li, one last thing to trouble you, please say hello to King Zeqi Spider for me.

Long Bai felt a little sorry.

I understand. Xiao Longbai, Mo Lan, you go quickly.

Luo Ji helped carry the spider silk bag filled with Force food to the entrance of the hillside cave.

Long Bai should go to see the Zeqi Spider King who had taken good care of him, and he wanted to go.

However, it is too easy to attract the attention of other flame spider merchants.

How could an 8-year-old little ant king and an intermediate mantis warrior get so much force food?

Once noticed, it's easy to guess what it is.

Long Bai didn't want to leave any safety risks, so he joined forces with Mo Lan, one behind the other, to carry the spider silk bag into the starship passage.

Carry all the way to the depths.

Long Bai summoned the ruling throne hidden in the room, worked together to move the spider silk bag onto the throne, and took off with the load.

…

Longbai, which fruit is the most delicious?

Mo Lan was greedy, pulling at the spider silk bag and asking tactfully.

“In terms of taste, it’s just average.”

Long Bai explained seriously: Only rich insects care about the taste of Force food. Generally speaking, Force food that tastes good will be more expensive. Therefore, most of the ones I choose are not very good tasting and are affordable!

oh--

Regarding the issue of food, Mo Lan's mind was spinning very fast and he asked in turn: Long Bai, which one has the worst taste? Let me try it and see.

Long Bai: There is only worse, not the worst.

Long Bai...

Mo Lan ignored it and opened the spider silk bag with a squeaking sound, and then opened the small spider silk bag inside with a squeaking sound, took out the maple seeds, knocked off the outer shell with a click, rolled his tongue, and swept the nuts. Go into your mouth.

The taste isn't bad either. Long Bai, try it!

Really? In fact, I only have a general understanding of it and have never eaten it.

Long Bai buried his head and picked up one with his jaws to taste.

Mo Lan asked: Didn't you say that Luo Li is very rich?

Long Bai asked: Isn't it rich?

Mo Lan: Then he's still so stingy and caressing about everything.

Long Bai: The wealth of the Flame Spider Traveler is accumulated through careful calculation.

Mo Lan asked: What about 'Baiwei'? Is it also calculating?

Long Bai: Luo Li and Bai Wei jointly lead a caravan, and there are many junior, intermediate, and high-level flame spiders in the team. Since the Wanzu Continent is relatively peaceful and safe, only one Mountain Lord-level flame spider is needed to lead the team. . Luo Li and Bai Wei took turns following the Zeqi Spider King into the Wan Guo Continent for trade.

Long Bai: I've met Master Bai Wei, but I'm not familiar with him... He's a very lively big spider. When he's happy, he jumps around while walking, knocking over the goods on his back...

A mantis and an ant chatted about the caravan while happily tasting different types of force food.

Rest for a night on the way,

Depart early the next morning and return to the Pandan Mountains in the afternoon.

Long Bai and Mo Lan divided their things and returned to the ant nest. After cleaning up briefly, they inspected the territory.

The three earliest seeds sown, juniper, juniper and juniper, are already close to 1.5 meters in height. During the past few days, juniper trees still bloomed with more than a dozen small pink and white flowers.

Long Bai directed two medium-sized worker ants to climb the tree and bite off the flower spikes directly.

Flowering and bearing fruit will consume nutrients and energy. Nowadays, there is no shortage of Force food, and the main purpose of planting plants is to grow and develop.

In the coming year, these three cypress trees are destined to be more than 2 meters tall and can officially produce force food.

The emerald cypress sown in early spring last year was over half a meter tall, and the giant cypress sown in late spring was about 40 centimeters tall.

The dry cedar sown this year is over 10 centimeters tall.

The large-fruited hemlocks sown on the top of the mountain also reach a height of over 10 centimeters. The fir trees grow slower than the cypress trees, and it may take four or five years before they can produce Force food.

At the 9th age, Long Bai planned to choose the green torreya as his destiny seed.

The growth of the torreya tree is even slower than that of the large-fruited hemlock. It takes seven or eight years to bear fruit, and the flowering and fruiting cycle is three years.

With the ruling throne to assist him in his cultivation, and Mo Lan to help him, Long Bai had the courage to choose so many trees as his destiny seeds.

After inspecting a circle of territory, Long Bai found a gently sloping land nearby. He directed the worker ants to clean it overnight, open a nursery, and sow the seeds of Torreya, King Cedar, Golden Pine, Black Emperor Peach, Kui Li, and Spotted Star Pear.

It is planned to first open an orchard in Xianglan Mountain and plant various top-notch species from the mainland on a large scale.

In the future, when the ant colony grows in size, it will also need to be managed on the Molan Mountain side. There is a plain there, which is most suitable for planting peach and pear trees.

…

Microchemical worker ants and soldier ants were born one after another, three each, both of which were tiny and less than 1 centimeter in size.

The usage is almost the same as that of small worker ants and soldier ants.

Microchemical worker ants take care of the eggs and newly hatched larvae.

Micronized soldier ants kill tiny pests such as aphids, scale insects, and red spider mites.

There is no need to cultivate too many for the time being. According to the plan, priority will be given to specialized soldier ants.

The number of specialized worker ants is sufficient and they continue to dig pools.

Another major adjustment was made to the working hours. I only leave the nest to work in the middle of the morning every day and finish work early in the afternoon.

Two days of digging and one day of rest.

With enough rest time, Long Bai was not idle. After finishing work every day, he ate Force food, spent time absorbing it, and only fell asleep in the middle of the night.

On the day of rest, take a pandan seed and concentrate on absorbing it.

The 8th instar junior ant king is still having trouble digesting the seed given by God.

The original food purchased by Longbai contains various types of internal organs and muscle strength-strengthening effects. When combined and used alternately, the results are remarkable. You can feel yourself making progress every day.

There wasn't much going on in the Mo Lan territory. He came to Shannan on time every morning carrying a bag of spider silk, and lay on the throne of control, leisurely eating force food and watching Long Bai and the worker ants working.

It took half a month to dig the outline of the pool with a side length of about 5 meters and a depth of 1 meter.

Turn around and continue digging deep drainage channels to ensure smooth drainage during the rainy season, and then dig a pool.

After 10 days, the ditch was dug to a depth of 1.5 meters.

After another half month, the depth of the pool was dug to 1.5 meters.

Specialized soldier ants were born one after another. Long Bai organized 12 of them into a team and ordered them to go out to hunt. The ant nest initially became self-sufficient in food.

After a warm rain,

The flower buds of Hibiscus hibiscus are emerging.

Long Bai had a premonition that evolution was imminent, so he informed Mo Lan and ordered the worker ants to stop work and take a few days off.

Lying peacefully deep in the nest, eating the last pandan seed.

After resting for two more days and eating some force food purchased from Luo Jun, a feeling of lethargy came over him.

…

Wake up from deep sleep.

Successfully completed molting.

Long Bai immediately checked his life bag.

The color of the azure god-given seed became three points darker, and the originally vague connection became obvious.

There is life throbbing within the seed.

The seed given by the azure blue god was successfully nurtured and turned into a life seed!

Long Bai spit it out, placed it on the soft cushion, and took a torreya seed from the spider silk bag and put it into his life bag.

Shaking their tentacles, the worker ants carried the cut shreds of meat in their mouths and lined up to deliver it to the ant nest.

Because he had eaten too many force-strengthening foods recently, he woke up weaker than usual during this evolution.

While Long Bai was eating, he was sorting out his newly awakened memories. The core inheritance of the 9th instar giant-headed ant was awakened: giant soldier ants!

[Soldier ants are larger than the soldier ants, possess half the strength of the ant king, have high combat intelligence, can command the soldier ants in battle, and are the ant king's most effective helpers]

A hugely powerful ant!

Long Bai searched for cultivation methods and was immediately disappointed.

To cultivate giant soldier ants, in addition to pheromone stimulation, the larval stage also needs to be fed Force food that mainly strengthens strength.

But there are other benefits,

Ordinary worker ants and soldier ants age quickly, with lifespans ranging from a few years to ten years, and do not grow.

The giant soldier ants are completely different. They have the same lifespan as the ant king and can grow simultaneously with the evolution and growth of the ant king.

but,

You need to consume a corresponding amount of Force food.

——There are giant soldier ants, and there must be corresponding, similar giant worker ants. Raising one to help take care of the ant nest, and managing the worker ants is not bad.

——I need a giant chemical worker ant even more...

——Giant soldier ants are also good, but I can’t afford them now!

Long Bai thought for a while and made up his mind.

After repeatedly looking at myself, I found that after shedding my shell and evolving, the physical strengthening effects of various Force foods appeared. My body became much stronger, and my body length exceeded 15 centimeters.

Familiar with the various changes after evolution, Long Bai turned his head and picked up the azure god-given seed, studying it obsessively.

My God-given seed!
