Astral Ant Tribe

Mo Lan stayed outside the ant nest for five days and five nights.

After figuring out the water ability, Long Bai used the Control Throne to send it home and quickly rest.

Long Bai himself also returned to the nest, vomited out the newly-gestated green torreya seeds, and chose a golden pine nut as the first life seed for the first instar of the intermediate ant king.

Continue to eat, recuperate, and recover evolutionary losses.

dawn,

Feeling quite recovered, I left the nest and came to the pond.

Zhan Lan, I evolved! Intermediate Ant King.

Zhanlan: I feel it, and I have evolved.

Long Bai: Then do you feel that your growth has accelerated?

Zhanlan: It seems there is...

good!

Long Bai was overjoyed.

The main reason why I am anxious to advance to the intermediate level is so that the God-given seed can grow faster.

Grow up earlier, bloom and bear fruit earlier, bloom more and bear more fruit.

Long Bai: Zhan Lan, please pay attention to rooting deep when growing. After a while, after I dig the four large reservoirs around me, I will dig them through and connect them with the small pond where you are taking root now. one slice.

After thinking for a long time, Zhan Lan finally understood Long Bai's meaning, conveyed a joyful spiritual thought, and agreed: I understand!

…

…

…

It’s early autumn when the sun is still scorching.

There are all kinds of wild fruits on the mountain that are beginning to mature, and Mo Lan begins a new round of search for the God-given seeds.

Long Bai gave himself a day off and walked around the mountains together, eating all kinds of fruits by the way.

Nothing gained, but a fun day.

Return to the nest at dusk.

Long Bai felt full of vitality, passed the weak period of evolution, communicated with the throne, and activated the 'messenger' function.

[Please select the messenger type]

【Guardian·Power】

【Guardian·Hydrology】

【Producer·Agriculture】

【Producer·Refining】

--Huh?

Long Bai was stunned and realized.

Strength is the racial talent of giant-headed ants.

Promoted to the intermediate ant king, additional water system talents will be awakened. Correspondingly, the dominator throne will have an additional water system 'messenger', and will have two more options: water system soldier ants and worker ants:

——Guardian Hydrology?

——Producer·Refining?

Water-type abilities are not powerful, and water-type soldier ants are definitely not powerful either, so just ignore them.

What does refining mean?

Do pheromones stimulate developmental differentiation in the same way?

“Then, can the ‘intelligent worker ants’ I cultivated using ‘producer-agriculture’ ant eggs be able to command the worker ants cultivated from ‘producer-refining’ ant eggs?”

Similarly, can the giant soldier ants of the strength system command the 'hydrology' soldier ants?

This is a very critical issue...

After Long Bai thought for a while, various questions popped up in his mind.

These questions can be guessed and solved one by one in the future.

Still choose [Producer·Agriculture], first try the ‘intelligent worker ants’ that cultivate racial inheritance memory.

【Please select quantity】

【quantity: 1】

【Quantity 2】

【Quantity 3】

【Quantity 4】

The maximum number of ant eggs produced each time has been increased to 4!

Long Bai was overjoyed again.

If we still maintain the cycle of four days, with 4 ant eggs each time, that is an average of 1 ant egg per day.

This is great news.

Long Bai had eaten various force foods that strengthened the comprehensive physique, and confidently chose 4 pills.

Blue light swept over.

[Poor physical condition, please reselect the quantity]

Long Bai: ...

Haven't you fully recovered yet?

Long Bai tried to choose [Quantity 3]

successfully passed.

The suction force came from the throne of domination, the messenger was generated, and entered the first stage of the birth of the force.

…

Long Bai counted the total number of ant colonies in the south and north of the mountain, up and down the mountain.

There are 58 large, medium, small and micro worker ants, with sufficient logistical support.

(A total of 60 animals were bred and 2 animals were lost)

82 specialized chemical worker ants.

(A total of 86 animals were bred and 4 were lost)

There were 67 large, medium, small and micro soldier ants.

(A total of 80 animals were bred, 13 animals were lost due to battle damage or inexplicable loss)

There are 76 specialized soldier ants, two of which are disabled.

(A total of 84 were bred, 7 were lost in hunting battles, and 1 was washed away by water during heavy rain)

The total number of ants in the colony is 280, large and small.

In addition, there are 21 ant eggs and larvae in the incubation room.

The intermediate-level ant king, the soldier ants and worker ants cultivated are also corresponding to the intermediate-level life level, and they will definitely be stronger.

Next, the main thing is to cultivate specialized chemical worker ants on a large scale. We will cultivate another 40 ants. Then we will have intelligent chemical worker ants to assist us, so we won't have to worry about being unable to command them.

Soldier ants suffer heavy losses in battle, and soldier ants of all sizes need to be properly replenished.

I wonder how long the breeding cycle of intelligent chemical worker ants is, is it also 60 to 70 days?

Long Bai thought about it and made a rough plan for the next development of the ant colony.

…

[Courier·Producer·Agriculture is generated]

Long Bai checked the ant eggs. They were a little bigger than when they were junior ant kings. It was a change that was hard to notice if you didn't measure it carefully.

There are no other differences.

Pheromones that stimulate development are applied to each of them to signal the worker ants to move away.

One of them will be cultivated as an 'intelligent worker ant', a separate incubation room will be opened for it, and 1 medium-sized worker ant and 3 small worker ants will be sent out, for a total of 4 worker ants to take care of it full-time.

rest for a day,

Enable the throne messenger function and select [Producer·Refining]

After three days, three translucent ant eggs with light blue color were formed, which were pure water type.

Try to use pheromone stimulation to differentiate into specialized worker ants, large worker ants and medium-sized worker ants.

…

The reaction of ordinary life seeds is much slower than that of God-given seeds.

Seven days after Long Bai was promoted to the intermediate ant king, the eight ordinary plants showed some changes. The autumn temperature was not bad, and their growth rate increased a little.

The fourth giant cypress has a planting height of more than 1.5 meters and will definitely bloom next spring. You can consider allowing it to set seeds in an appropriate amount.

Two days later,

For intelligent worker ants to hatch, Long Bai needs to enter the incubation room regularly in the morning, noon and evening every day to replenish the pheromones that stimulate their differentiation. When resting at night, let the worker ants move to the throne, and the abundant force will help them grow and develop.

…

Producer Refining ant eggs hatch one after another, and the larvae are white and tender with light blue rings.

Ten days later,

At the foot of the mountain, the excavation of the third large pond to the south of the small pond has been completed.

Ten days later,

Before the temperature dropped, the fifth broad leaf of the azure god-sent seed unfolded, and the plant reached a height of three meters.

At the same time, the larvae of the intelligent chemical worker ants developed rapidly, with a body length of more than 5 centimeters. They were white, chubby, and looked particularly strong.

Inherited memory shows,

Cultivating gigantic soldier ants requires feeding them a large amount of various physical-strengthening force foods that focus on strength.

Cultivating intelligent worker ants requires Force food, but there are no special requirements.

Just in time, the molan seeds in molan territory were ripe and harvested, and 60 seeds were delivered.

Long Bai tried to feed the intelligent ant larvae with low-quality molan seeds.

Don’t dare to give more, just one pill a day.

The Shilan and Xuelan trees in Molan territory are ripening one after another.

This year we had a good harvest, and we gave away 100 Shilan seeds alone.

Long Bai mixed three kinds of orchid seeds and fed them to the larvae of intelligent chemical workers.

When its body length exceeds 10 centimeters, feed it high-quality raw food purchased from Luo Qiu.

…

[Producer·Refining] Larvae cultivated from ant eggs form cocoons and emerge as adults.

Body length is just over 5 cm.

It has a black carapace and a circle on its abdomen, with a total of 6 blue rings.

For the convenience of distinction, Long Bai simply named this kind of worker ant as ‘blue worker ant’, or ‘blue ant’ for short; the corresponding soldier ant was named ‘blue soldier ant’, or ‘blue soldier’ for short.

After the blue ant is full, its abdomen bulges and the blue rings become translucent. You can vaguely see that its belly is full of food that turns into white liquid.

Long Bai used his mental power to scan and check, and he understood immediately.

The so-called ‘refining’ means refining food, leaving pure energy and nutrients that can be directly absorbed and stored.

Keep observing,

It was soon discovered that when a worker ant in the ant colony was hungry, the blue ants would spit out the refined food stored in their stomachs and feed it to the worker ants.

Long Bai understood the role of blue ants, and immediately had another idea: Can Force food be refined?

Thinking of this,

There were many wonderful ideas popping up in Long Bai's mind.

Thanks to book friends 20220401170929105, Long Choufeng, and Fat Cat Dwarf Rabbit for their rewards.

I’d like to ask for more monthly passes in everyone’s hands.
