Astral Ant Tribe

Busy spring.

It lasted three months,

The God-given sea buckthorn seed has grown into a 5-meter-tall tree.

The condition of King Molan's divinely gifted seed has stabilized.

Many ordinary life species planted by Molan in Xianglan Mountain have been promoted to the lord level one after another, and have also entered the stage of rapid growth.

The old method is to stop flowers and fruits, maintain the tree for three years, and then gradually resume production after three years.

Mo Lan has evolved to the lord level, and his annual income can be roughly predicted:

The number of fruit pandanus is about 60,000/year.

Cuihuahanlan is about 40,000/year.

Shenandoah is about 80,000/year.

Begonia is about 110,000/year.

Chestnut beans are about 100,000/year.

There are approximately 100,000 sea blue trees per year.

The production of red barberry is about 120,000/year.

The number of Mohuang peach is about 320,000/year.

The number of Philippine oil fruits is about 200,000/year.

Golden Key Wood is about 170,000/year

There are about 150,000 sea buckthorns per year.

An ordinary plant can earn about 150,000 raw stones per year.

The total is about 1.6 million rough stones, which may actually be slightly more, but not too much.

Mo Lan has a lot of divine seeds, but for some reason, except for Mo Huang Peach and Fei You Guo, most of them are in the middle or lower ranks, and the overall income is much less than Long Bai.

Longbai's nine-leaf yellow skewer god-given seeds have begun to produce, and the output will increase year by year. The annual income of Longbai's life seeds will soon exceed 3 million.

Da Lan counts separately.

All in all, the annual income from King Molan's divinely gifted seed is as high as 1.71 million rough stones, but the flowering and fruiting cycle is too long.

…

In early summer,

The god-given sea buckthorn seeds awakened soul consciousness, and Mo Lan stayed in Bailian Lake to take care of her and teach her knowledge.

Long Bai took his leisure time and lived in Xianglan Mountain.

Juniper and silver cypress evolved to the 3rd age lord level successively and awakened the sunburn ability.

In early autumn,

Giant Cypress and Emerald Cypress evolved into 3rd age lords successively, while Black Leaf and Black Birch evolved into 2nd age lords, and both successfully realized the sunburn ability.

Long Bai repeatedly warned not to use his power to see the moon.

Early winter...

The renovation work of Shaking Leaf Island can be put on the agenda...

Long Bai and Mo Lan quickly completed the search for Yaoye Island and Thousand Reef Islands in Wanglan Continent.

Mo Lan returns to Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai set off again.

…

Baifanshan.

Silent winter.

Orange sun.

White rice and black rice lay on the hill, enjoying the warm sunshine.

The throne of domination moves from far to near.

"Here we come." Bai Fan stood up and walked quickly down the mountain.

Wufan climbed up slowly and walked down the mountain unhurriedly.

"Red fox! Rice!"

"Wufan!"

Long Bai greeted.

Bai Fan asked enthusiastically: "Longbai Ant King, are you leaving now?"

Long Bai: "It's time to go."

Working on Shaking Leaf Island involves certain risks, and accordingly, Long Bai's salary is also very generous.

Bai Fan spreads his wings and is about to jump onto the throne.

"Wait."

Long Bai stopped and reminded: "Baifan, be careful, I also brought some small ants, don't step on them."

Bai Fan: "..."

Bai Fan: "Longbai Ant King, are you going to arrange for the ant colony to move into Shake Leaf Island? Didn't you say that you should dig an escape tunnel first?"

Red Fox also asked: "Longbai Ant King, can you confirm that Wanglan Continent is safe now?"

Long Bai: "It is precisely because safety cannot be guaranteed that Baifan needs to go there and use his earth ability to help dig escape tunnels and build underground water veins."

Bai Fan followed up and asked: "Escape tunnel? Water Vein Network Road?"

Long Bai: "I plan to send Silver Cypress, Black Birch, and Azuki to be stationed on Shaking Leaf Island. Both Silver Cypress and Black Birch have inherited my water talent and ability, and Azuki itself is an ocean blue crab. If it encounters an unstoppable danger, They can escape underwater."

Long Bai: "In addition, when I grow and evolve, I mainly focus on strengthening my water-type abilities, and water-type blue soldiers are also the strongest. For the development of Wanglan Continent, I plan to use Shaking Leaf Island as the starting point, with water-type blue soldiers as the main combat force. I develop Shaking Leaf The island is not only for the 150 square kilometers of land, but more importantly, it is to transform it into an unbreakable sea fortress to prepare for the future evolution of the king level and full transfer."

As soon as Long Bai had an idea, a water ball formed on his tentacles, lifted up and deformed, turning into the topographic map of Shaking Leaf Island, floating in front of him.

Long Bai explained: "The island covers an area of ​​150 square kilometers and has 31 peaks. I plan to build five branch nests on the island first, one main and four sub-nests, one each in the east, south, west, north and middle, and name them respectively. They are the east branch nest, the south branch nest, the west branch nest, the north branch nest and the central king's nest."

Long Bai moved his tentacles, pointed to the northwest position of the ice sculpture map, and said: "The central king's nest is built here, 50 meters underground, and three main tunnels with a width of 4 meters are dug to connect to the deep sea from the east, west, and north directions. "

Baifan raised his tentacles vertically and made an estimate in his mind, saying: "There are only three escape tunnels, with a total length of more than 20 kilometers? What does the underground water network mean?"

The long cypress tentacles slide on the ice sculpture terrain map, first drawing three thick water lines, and then crisscrossing them. The dense water lines connect the five branch nests and various peaks on the island.

Long Bai: "Introduce seawater into the water network channel, and my blue soldiers can dive and march freely. Shake Leaf Island is isolated in the deep sea. If a war breaks out, most of the people who can fight it will be the Bee Tribe. The Bee Tribe is not good at tunnel warfare. , let alone a tunnel filled with sea water.”

Long Bai: "Baifan, your main job is to use the power of earth and stone to strengthen the escape tunnel and the stone walls of the leyline network to prevent the tunnel from collapsing if the sea water soaks for a long time."

Long Bai: "The project is huge and may take several years or even more than ten years to complete. I need to first cultivate a group of specialized worker ants and large worker ants on the island, and then they will be responsible for excavation and earth and stone transportation."

Long Bai gestured with his tentacles and said: "From this mountain peak to the north, closest to the sea, the straight-line distance is only about 2,500 meters. Baifan, you dig it and I move it. Your and my task this winter is to clear it first. Hurry up. It will be completed and departed before spring here in the northern hemisphere."

Long Bai: "Go there next year and dig an escape passage to the west. With two escape passages, I will stay on Shake Leaf Island and start cultivating ant colonies in large quantities and excavation and transformation on a large scale. You can come here every winter to do two It’s a month’s work, just reinforce the dug channel.”

"Understood!"

Bai Fan spread his wings, took off, circled, and landed carefully on the throne. He said goodbye: "Red Fox, Wu Fan, you don't have to worry. There is no danger in the deep sea island. I will be back on time in the spring..."

…

Shaking Leaf Island.

The throne of rulership flew to the island and landed in front of the natural cave used for storage on the mountain peak.

Bai Fan crawled to the ground, lowered his head and looked down at the god-given seed of the rock-leaf iron core tree at the foot of the mountain, and sighed: "How many years have passed, this tree has grown up to 20 meters, right?"

Long Bai: "You know, for safety reasons, I took the water chestnuts to Yunji Continent. There were no insects to care for and harvest them, so I simply stopped flowering and fruiting. Every year, Mo Lan and I also sent the remains and rough stones of the gods. Come over here and strengthen and replenish it. With such favorable conditions, can it not grow quickly?"

Long Bai said, jumping to the ground, controlling the size of the ruling throne to shrink, and commanding the ant colony accompanying the throne to settle down.

This time I came with 10 medium, small and micro worker ants; 15 medium and small blue ants each, a simple 50 small ants.

They will be the first batch of immigrants from the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom to develop and expand to Wanglan Continent.

Long Bai raised his paw, pointed at the cave, and said: "Baifan, help me, open a main channel of the ant nest with a diameter of 1 meter and a depth of 20 meters on the front stone wall at a height of 10 centimeters from the ground. Be careful not to walk in a straight line. Lean down, bend left and right, you understand?”

"Understand!"

Bai Fan withdrew his gaze, got into the cave, activated his earth element ability, and started working.

Get the job done simply.

Long Bai directed again and opened several small-diameter branch roads on the side of the main channel to create separate nests.

The simple primary ant nest has been constructed.

Long Bai directed the ant colony to move in.

The peak here is located due west of the island, about 3 kilometers away from the west coast. The scale of the peak is quite large, and the rock is hard enough. It is planned to build the west branch of the island in the future.

…

When you're done, take a rest for the night.

The next morning,

The ruling throne carried Bai Fan to the center of the island.

An inconspicuous mountain peak with a height of only 200 meters was the central king's nest selected by Long Bai.

After Long Bai briefly explained his planning and design to Bai Fan, he started excavation.

A cave entrance is dug from the north of the mountain, below the mountainside, and a main passage with a diameter of 4 meters is excavated, winding to the interior of the mountain.

Bai Fan was responsible for digging, and the excavated earth and stone condensed into giant square bricks that were 1.5 meters wide, 1 meter wide, and half a meter thick, and then solidified slightly.

The dragon cypress is held with the teeth of the jaws, carried to the foot of the mountain, and stacked neatly.

Every 10 meters forward of the passage, Bai Fan turned around and used his earth ability to solidify the stone wall.

His original energy was almost exhausted, so he jumped onto the throne of control to rest and recover.

Long Bai kept running and moving.

Simple and efficient cooperation,

Soon, the main passage reached the heart of the mountain and began to spiral downward, digging underground...

After going 50 meters below the sea level, it changed to a straight line, parallel to the north...

While working, the ruling throne was also continuously producing ant eggs, which Long Bai sent to the west of the island to separate nests for cultivation.

There are only 70 working days this year.

Ant eggs are produced in batches every five days.

The first batch came with 14 specialized blue ants responsible for food storage.

The second batch of 14 specialized young soldiers responsible for hunting in the rainforest and defending ant nests was cultivated.

In the third batch, 14 specialized worker ants were cultivated to carry earth and stone.

The fourth batch of 14 large worker ants came again.

The fifth batch of 14 large-scale young soldiers was cultivated to supplement the hunting team's combat effectiveness.

The sixth batch...

The development time of specialized ants from ant eggs to emerging adults is as long as 10 months. Pheromones stimulate differentiation and need to continue until the larvae reach about half a meter in size before the body size differentiation can be stable.

Starting from the fourth batch, the ant types cultivated by Long Bai gradually shrank, and at the same time, he also gradually improved the various ant types in the ant nest, building a miniature branch nest that can be self-reliant and survive independently.
