Astral Ant Tribe

Pandan Mountain Ant Nest, Royal Family.

Long Bai woke up from his deep sleep and quickly completed the molt.

The new shell solidifies.

The 8th-year-old mountain master.

Mentally scan and examine yourself.

The body shape has slimmed down a bit, and the membrane wings have changed a lot. They are as long as the abdomen and tail, and are narrower when unfolded, but the wing veins are harder and the wing membrane is tougher.

A change closer to the bee wings.

Long Bai tried to flap twice. The current wing structure supports high-frequency vibrations, making it more flexible to fly.

——Linnan Sacred Tree’s training has achieved remarkable results!

Long Bai secretly praised it in his heart, took a jar of ant honey prepared on the throne, opened it, dipped his head in it with his tentacles, licked and ate slowly, and at the same time thought deeply.

all the best.

Long Bai raised his claws and waved lightly, and a ray of original energy with strong vitality was shot out.

Successfully comprehend the healing power of light speed!

At the same time, there is also a very strong, strange and wonderful feeling, which should be the long-awaited ability given by the divine Melaleuca Fruit: Forest Symbiosis

Long Bai put aside the honey ants, jumped off the throne, ran quickly to the entrance of the cave, and slapped open the blocked door with one claw.

"King?"

The juniper guarding the entrance of the cave jumped in surprise.

"I'll try out my new abilities."

Long Bai ran straight out of the ant nest without looking back.

The ability of forest symbionts needs to be stimulated by eating green plants.

Long Bai glanced at the orchid grass beside the entrance of the planting hole, cut off a piece of orchid leaf with his claws, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed.

An idea flashed in his mind, and he activated the original energy of the wood element, wrapping it up and swallowing it in his belly.

Orchid leaves are quickly decomposed and absorbed.

Dark green stripes resembling leaf veins appear on the back of the breastplate.

Long Bai understood.

Unfortunately, it's night now and I can't test it.

Continue cutting with claws and swallowing.

Dark green stripes spread up and down the carapace, all over the body.

Keep eating,

The wing veins are also stained green.

Keep eating,

The vein-like dark green stripes began to expand, forming clusters of green spots.

"Your Majesty..."

Juniper stood aside and watched, dumbfounded, hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't help but remind:

"My lord, be careful! The second king will be angry again when he comes back and sees that the ink orchids at the entrance of the cave are gone."

"Afraid of it?"

Long Bai's movements were stagnant. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it made sense. He turned his eyes to the life seed of the Long Bai tree not far away.

The branches and leaves of planted plants must not be touched easily.

Long Bai jumped up, landed in the forest below, chopped off some branches of ordinary Long Bai trees with his claws, and ate quickly.

The green spots on the carapace continued to expand, and a very obvious color difference appeared.

The veins and green spots on the leaves of the previously consumed orchids were deep and dark green in color.

The color of the green spots growing on the leaves of the edible dragon cypress tree is verdant green.

——Is it in sync with the color of the leaves?

Long Bai immediately thought that there were several red maples with bright red leaves planted in the north of the mountain.

He flapped his wings and took off, climbed over the mountains, landed under the tree, raised his head to look at it, picked off the red leaves and swallowed them.

Sure enough, the newly developed markings on the carapace were red.

Long Bai understood the basic principle of the "forest symbiont" ability: [break plant leaves into tiny active particles, and then reassemble them on the surface of their own carapace for their own use]

A lot of plant names came to Long Bai's mind: blue ice cypress, azure tree, golden-leaf metasequoia, golden-leaf sophora japonica, red-leaf plum...

Long Cypress and Mo Lan are walking and searching on the mainland. Occasionally they find some distinctive or special plants. They will collect some samples along the way and send them back to Fanglan Mountain to be planted by Zhan Lan or Xiang Bai.

The azure water energy field can protect most plants and survive despite environmental factors.

Xianglan Mountain is the core plant base of the Ant Kingdom, and it collects all kinds of plants.

Juniper chased after him, stood aside and watched with curiosity. When he saw this, he immediately raised his paw and suggested: "Your Majesty, try Golden Leaf Sophora japonica! The gold color is beautiful!"

"It's like gold. Blue is beautiful." Long Cypress prefers blue. He fluttered his wings and took off, flying at low altitude to search, and soon found a forest planted with blue ice cypress...

…

Tossing around half the night,

Long Cypress transforms into a gorgeous and colorful ant that combines black, green, red, frost blue, golden, and purple colors.

The sky is dawning and the morning light is faint.

Long Bai lay quietly on a boulder on the top of the mountain, with his back to the sun.

The warm current passes through the carapace, penetrates deep into the body, and turns into physical energy.

The dragon cypress spreads its membrane wings.

The wings are large in area and absorb more light. The dense energy gathers in the wing veins and flows back into the body.

The physical energy consumed by age evolution is restored bit by bit.

Preliminary testing works.

And the effect is quite ideal.

In the case of sufficient light, if it remains motionless, the energy obtained through conversion is enough to sustain survival, and there is a surplus.

This is still an ordinary plant.

What if it were replaced by a god-given seed that absorbs and utilizes sunlight more efficiently?

The strength of the "jungle symbiont" depends largely on the strength of the plants it feeds on.

The higher the degree of evolution, the higher the efficiency of absorbing and utilizing sunlight...

Beyond the king level, the leaves of the sacred tree...

…

Long Bai lay on the top of the mountain for a long time. After the fresh energy wore off, he started to get down to business.

The juniper went into the forest to hunt for fresh food and came back, full of food and drink, to start the production of [Producer·Symbiosis] ant eggs.

The Ruler Throne set off with Heiti and arrived at Mount Molan.

"Long Bai?"

Mo Lan, who was flying up to meet him, was stunned in mid-air, circled in a circle, landed on the throne, and stared at Long Bai's carapace.

"The effect of Melaleuca Fruit's ability?"

"certainly."

"How did you do it?"

“You get brilliant colors by eating leaves of all colors.”

"oh!"

Mo Lan understood it as soon as he heard it.

"When will the second divine Melaleuca fruit arrive?"

“Can’t the carapace of an orchid mantis change color at will?”

"It's different! It can only change according to changes in the surrounding environment."

"Hey! Mo Lan, that's not right! Will your ability conflict with the ability of the 'Forest Symbiote'?"

"No way? Maybe they can complement each other and better integrate with the jungle environment."

"It's possible! We won't know until you taste it. I'll ask Bai Zian to ask Lord Qiye next year."

"I want red! Fuchsia will do, too."

"Red maple and red plum."

"Oh! By the way, Long Bai, can the forest symbiont ability be inherited to Qing Bing and Qing Ant?"

"It's just the beginning. Let's cultivate a few tiny green ants. You'll know after a month."

Long Bai controlled the throne and landed under the Leigang oak tree. After greeting it, he told it in detail about the new abilities he had gained through awakening.

Heiti went to Molan Mountain to separate the nests and mobilize the ant colonies to prepare.

The dragon cypress comes to the southeast, on the hillside 1500 meters away from the Leigang oak.

A piece of cultivated fertile soil with a radius of 150 meters.

Walking into the center, he dug a shallow hole with his front paws, dug his head in and spit out the God-given seeds of the Second King Molan, and dug up the soil to fill it.

Heiti organized special blue soldiers to bring water and sprinkle it for irrigation.

After half a day, the seeds germinate.

After a day, leaf buds emerge from the soil.

Half a month later, the mother plant grows to a height of just over two meters and begins to accumulate energy.

Five days later, only 5 sprouts appeared on the pseudobulbs of the mother plant, basically ruling out the possibility of being a divine product.

At the same time, the first batch of three microgreen ants were born, with two green rings on their tails, which were initially confirmed to have the ability to inherit the 'forest symbiont'.

Just over 1 centimeter, they are small but not stupid at all. Under the repeated guidance of Long Bai, they eat grass leaves and the surface of their carapace turns green.

Arrange three microgreen ants to lie quietly in a sunny place and try not to move.

Keep observing,

I didn’t eat for three days in a row and still felt full of energy.

Water intake increased significantly.

Sunlight, air, and water are three major elements that synthesize energy for life activities and a small amount of nutrients for growth.

Wait two days.

Three miniature green soldiers cultivated from the second batch of ant eggs also emerged.

He also inherited Long Bai's forest symbiote ability.

Continuous observation,

Green soldiers and green ants consume almost no food when they are not working, and can even store some energy and nutrients by basking in the sun.

Inheriting the "Jungle Symbiote" ability, the number of green soldiers and green ants is almost not limited by food.

Five types of ants, including specialized, large, medium, small and micro, can be cultivated in large quantities.

Specialized green ants are given priority. First, 100 ants are allocated to each god-given tree, and 30 ants are allocated to each ordinary tree.

The specialized green soldiers can wait for the magical green beans from the Wind Spider King.

After all, it would be perfect if the fighting ants and the green soldiers could inherit the ability of 'Bean Crawling'.

…

Heiti stayed in Molan Mountain to take care of the god-given seeds of the second king Molan.

The Ruler's Throne carries Mo Lan to Citi Mountain.
