Astral Ant Tribe

According to the plan, Long Bai completed the cultivation of specialized green ants, and then lived in the purple linden country for a long time.

God-given seeds enjoy preferential treatment, and the number of specialized green ants dedicated to assisting the growth of white barberry trees has been increased to 500.

The Linnan Sacred Tree chases after the promised 20,000 specialized green ants every day. Long Bai is so annoyed that he has no choice but to pay the interest first and breed 200 ants to play with it under the tree.

Long Bai began to cultivate a large number of lord-level blue ants and worker ants, as well as small, medium and micro soldier ants and green soldiers. He first updated and strengthened the farming and logistics ants of the purple linden country to a limited extent.

Some of the replaced mountain lord-level ants were selected and sent to the deserted plain nearby, and 270 specialized blue soldiers were sent to open up the wasteland, led by Black Birch.

In arid wastelands, it is impossible for Cypress to station a large number of specialized blue soldiers to create water specifically for irrigation. They can only choose plants that are drought tolerant and barren.

There are not many to choose from, including Haloxylon ammodendron, Ilex holly, Saguai jujube, sea buckthorn, Populus euphratica, gray poplar, salix, elm, cryptomeria, metasequoia and other trees. Verbena, vetch, alfalfa, etc. are planted under the trees. Grass plant.

Land reclamation in arid wastelands is very different from land reclamation in mountainous jungles.

The desolate plain is flat and stretches as far as the eye can see. The main work is to dig reservoirs, open canals, and use canals to divide the dry wasteland into pieces.

It is best to harden and reinforce it, and when it rains or snows, try to retain as much natural precipitation as possible.

I failed to awaken the earth talent, so I had to spend raw stones to ask for help.

The desolate plains have a small amount of rainfall, snowfall in winter, and some vague vegetation. The desolation is not completely desolate, but it can still be saved.

The two places of force, Crescent Lake and Loess Wasteland in the due east continent area, have been completely deserted, and no trace of life can be found.

Specialized blue soldiers can create water and have the ability to cultivate it, but the investment is too large and the return is limited. Long Bai does not intend to waste time and energy.

…

The magical Shashuo fruit, which gives talents to metal elements, is about to arrive.

Long Bai started eating food corresponding to the Force five years in advance.

A metal god-given force food worth 10 million raw stones.

Water God-given force food worth 4 million raw stones.

A God-given force food worth 4 million rough stones for comprehensive physical fitness, vision, tentacles, carapace, life, etc. that strengthens basic physical fitness.

The total cost of age evolution is as high as 18 million raw stones.

Suspension of debt repayments can basically achieve balance of payments.

In the five years since the silver cypress trees were planted, the debt has neither increased nor decreased.

…

Another spring travel trade.

This year, there are two divine fruits for sale: the Dinghun fruit and the Night scented fruit, and the divine Shashuo fruit has arrived.

Long Bai led the team and set off early.

Hongtao, Heliotrope, and Stylometra also arrived early.

meet and greet,

Pillar first untied the spider silk rope on his back and stuffed a spider silk bag over it.

Heart: "Long Cypress Ant King, divine Shashuo fruit, 4.5 million rough stones."

"good!"

Long Bai opened it for inspection, briefly scanned it with his mental power, confirmed it was correct, and waved his tentacles.

Xiangbai first stuffed the spider silk bags one by one.

7 night scented fruits, 5.6 million rough stones.

Heart: "No problem!"

Styloscope: "Thank you Long Bai Ant King!"

Long Bai: "The transaction of God-given force food is over, let's settle the bill together."

Black Persimmon then stuffed three bags of spider silk into it.

Open inspection.

Heart: "No problem!"

Heliotrope: "Thank you Long Bai Ant King!"

Three Soul-fixing Fruits, and things in Citi Mountain will be accounted for and settled separately.

Heart: "Longbai Ant King, neem seeds will be delivered in 9 years."

Long Bai: "I will remember it."

Hong Tao: "Should the divine fruit that gives the fire element talent be delivered earlier? Or should it be delivered later..."

Over the years, all the kingdom's resources have been lost to Long Bai.

The salaries, rewards, and shares of the kings are basically settled with the Ant King Letter Card. Theoretically speaking, Long Bai still owes a lot of debt within the kingdom.

Long Bai: "Later."

Heart: "Okay! It will be 19 years later."

Long Bai clicked his tentacles in agreement.

From the 4th age of the lord level upwards, it is appropriate to evolve once every 10 to 20 years.

Long Bai asked strangely: "Hongtao, Zhuban, haven't you figured out the name of the divine fruit that gives the power of the fire element?"

Styloscope: "No."

Hong Tao: "It's not that we don't want to say it. It's that the Insect King who helped trade it doesn't want to disclose it."

Stylus Spot: "It should be because we are worried that we can infer the origin of things through their names."

"All right--"

Long Bai moved his tentacles.

It's not difficult to understand.

Confidentiality is the main factor.

Secondly, the Insect King who turns over from it will definitely get benefits.

If the caravan knows the origin of the things, the caravan can skip the insect king in the middle and go straight to it.

Long Bai: "Hongtao, have you settled the score? What is the approximate unit price of the divine fruit that gives the fire element talent?"

Heart: "A rough estimate, around 10 million."

Zhuban vowed: "Longbai Ant King, this is already the lowest price. Lord Bai Wei won't make a single rough stone from this transaction."

Your caravan doesn’t make any money, so where did you get so many rough stones?

"Little Pillar, you should learn more." Long Bai waved his tentacles, passed through the cracks in the starship, and knocked twice on Pillar's head.

Zhuban said innocently: "...I really didn't make any money...I told the truth."

"..."

Long Bai felt very sad.

If they do this, the benefits of eating the middle worms will eventually be counted as costs and passed on to themselves, and the things they get to themselves will become sky-high prices.

Bai Wei is considered the most upright spider, with a unit price of 10 million. It may really be a rough diamond without profit.

Long Bai: "Deal first."

Long Bai: "How many metal god-given force foods have been brought this year? I'm still short of about 2 million..."

Long Bai presided over the completion of the God-given force food transaction, and left the rest of the work to Xiang Bai and Black Persimmon.

Long Bai hurried back to Fanglan Mountain with the newly obtained metal god-given force food.

Eat quickly and launch your final sprint.

Five days later, I felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep after simple preparations.

…

Wake up from deep sleep.

The old shell is shed and the new carapace hardens quickly.

Done?

Long Bai concentrated his mind and anxiously felt the changes in his original energy after evolution.

In the lower layer of the carapace, where it connects to the muscles, there is a strange yet familiar original force slowly being generated.

——Metal elemental energy!

——It’s done!

Long Bai was surprised and ecstatic, his heart was beating wildly, his blood flow was accelerating, and he secretly thought that he was lucky!

The lord-level sacred Shashuo fruit itself has a success probability of only about 35%. When the metal god-given force food is full, the success probability is no more than 50%. The success or failure is evenly divided, and the probability of failure is slightly higher.

Without other skills, success or failure depends entirely on luck.

"Long Bai?"

Mo Lan stood guard outside the cave and was keenly aware of the movement inside. He opened the door that blocked the entrance of the cave, looked inside, and then got in.

"Succeeded again?"

"What does it mean to be successful again?"

"Succeeded? Awakened the metal talent?"

"certainly!"

Long Bai couldn't help but sigh: "I've been really lucky in recent years, everything goes well."

"Yes--"

Mo Lan followed closely and asked, "Where are your abilities? How many metal abilities have you mastered?"

Long Bai tilted his head and looked at the metal jar containing ant honey that was kept aside. As soon as he thought about it, the metal jar floated up on its own and landed in front of him.

The metal element is activated.

The jar lid automatically rotates, unscrews, and falls aside lightly.

Cymbidium:"……"

Long Bai: "At least one ability, basic metal control."

Mo Lan: "This is an ability that you will definitely master if you awaken your elemental talent. This doesn't count, is there anything else?"

Long Bai: "Let me think about it..."

Long Bai lowered his head and reached his tentacles into the metal jar, dipped it in the ant honey, licked it slowly, and thought quietly...

After a long time,

Long Bai raised his head and said intermittently: "There is also... a very strange ability... Intuition tells me that this ability consumes the force extremely... and also requires metal materials..."

Cymbidium:"???"

what are you saying?

Mo Lan swung his tentacles and knocked on the metal can in front of him: Metal material? So what is this?

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "This is too hard."

Today, there are two types of metal cans used in Yunji Continent: black cans and gold cans

The black jar is made from a ghost fan, and Jin He's ability is enhanced. It contains ordinary ant honey and force ant honey.

The golden jar was sent by the caravan of Bai Wei and Luo Qi. A certain powerful insect king had been strengthened with the golden power. The surface of the jar had golden veins. It was exquisite and luxurious. It was specially used to contain the honey of the ant king.

The black jar in front of him should not be underestimated, and Long Bai was powerless to shake it.

"Mo Lan, let's go, find a big river, find some metal gravel, and I'll show you."

"good!"

Mo Lan happily agreed.
