Astral Ant Tribe

Late autumn.

Pandan Mountain.

Mo Lan was taking care of her orchid grass in the mountain forest. She suddenly raised her head, and with a slight feeling, she kicked her legs into the air, climbed over the mountains, and flew towards the south.

"Long Bai! How is it?"

"Everything is going according to plan. The third escape tunnel has been dug, and it will be fully connected after the winter rice hardens. The ant colony has also initially formed a scale. Black Birch is leading a team to reclaim the wasteland, first open a few nurseries, and cultivate a Sapling No. 1 of the Piyushu."

"Then... Silver cypress, black birch, and acanthus live there? Are they not coming back?"

"There's a lot going on on Shaking Leaf Island, and I won't be back in a short time."

"and you……"

"Is there any problem with the transaction with the Flame Spider Traveler in the spring?"

Mo Lan was full of confidence, "As long as I'm here, it'll be no problem!"

Long Bai: "..."

——It’s because you are here that I worry about problems.

Long Bai paused and said: "The autumn trade and the search for God-given seeds cannot stop. We will go back to the mountain to pack up, and we will set off directly."

…

Long Bai and Mo Lan quickly traveled around Yunji Continent, completed their autumn work, set off quickly, and quietly entered Wanglan Continent.

Shaking leaf island, west branch nest.

Black Birch is leading the ant colony to plow the soil, repair the slopes of the plot, and strengthen the ant tunnels on the ground.

Xun was also helping, and a tree was brought down with just one plier. Its large and small chelicerae are asymmetrical, which looks very uncomfortable, but there is a certain rationality. The small pincers can clamp small trees, and the large pincers can clamp big trees...

Reclamation work is in full swing.

Yin Bai was lying on the top of the mountain watching guard, bored out of his mind. He immediately saw Long Bai and Mo Lan flying in the air and rushed down the mountain.

"Your Majesty!"

"Second King!"

Under the rock-leaf iron-core tree planted by God, silver cypress, black birch and water chestnut greet you.

Mo Lan responded by tapping her tentacles slightly, raising her head slightly and watching.

We started to keep fruits the year before last, and we keep 2,000 green fruits every year. On the majestic trees, there are 6,000 green fruits of different sizes hanging here and there.

In the next two years, the fruits of the god-given rock-leaf iron core wood will be harvested when they are ripe, and the annual income will be more than 100,000 yuan.

"good!"

"Heihua, Zhi, you did a good job."

Mo Lan praised.

Yinbai: "The two kings, and me."

Mo Lan: "Where is the escape route?"

Yinbai: "There is a water vein under the west branch nest, but it is not connected. You have to go to the central king's nest."

Xing agreed: "If there is danger, let's run to the central king's nest!"

Mo Lan: "Long cypress, black birch, and zucchini, go ahead. Yin cypress, take me to see them."

Long Bai: "..."

"I know. The second king."

"Second King, follow me."

Silver cypress, water chestnut, and black birch agreed.

…

Mo Lan also briefly understood and became familiar with the island's mountain topography, escape tunnels and ground network design, and spent another two days completing the search for the god-given seeds in the island's rainforest.

Long Bai and Mo Lan set off with wings and rushed to Thousand Reef Islands.

Approaching at dusk,

Stop at sea for repairs.

The old rule is to sneak underwater late at night and first come to the big island with an area of ​​400 square kilometers.

Long Bai released his throne of control and waited half-floating on the sea surface.

Mo Lan landed on the island alone...

Mo Lan habitually activated his soul-fixing ability to sense it, then suddenly stopped and backed away slowly.

Long Bai was awestruck when he saw this, "Second King?"

Mo Lan walked on the water and returned to the throne, "Heaven!"

In the clear night sky, there is only a bright moon in the sky...

Long Bai once again activated his soul-fixing ability and sensed the night sky. He was awestruck again, then surprised and secretly happy.

Under the moonlight, high in the sky, there is an inconspicuous wisp of cloud.

In the clouds, the soul of a butterfly is sleeping.

Very clever concealment method.

very familiar!

Mo Lan: "...Butterfly."

Long Bai: "I probably know this butterfly."

Cymbidium:"???"

Long Bai: "Have you forgotten? Fire Wheel Islands, silly Morpho warriors."

"oh!"

"What a coincidence!"

Mo Lan suddenly realized, surprised and confused, "The Fire Wheel Islands are two to three thousand kilometers away from the Thousand Reef Islands. What is it doing so far away? Could it be..."

Long Bai: "Most likely they came out to look for God-given seeds, or they might be traveling far away to do errands and happened to pass by. Last time, the dragonfly named Green Heart also went from Welling Mountain to Fire Wheel Island..."

Mo Lan: "Yes! There is a transaction between Welling Mountain and Huolun Island!"

Mo Lan: "I heard that this butterfly is very arrogant? Now that we have encountered it..."

Long Bai clicked his tentacles and said, "This butterfly is not very powerful. But it is very capable of flying and escaping. It is not easy to catch it hiding in the sky."

Mo Lan: "It's sleeping! And it didn't find us!"

Long Bai clicked his tentacles and controlled the throne to slowly emerge from the water and rise slowly.

Climb above the clouds and approach quietly.

A stream of spiritual power glanced past the throne, and the inconspicuous wisp of white clouds suspended high in the sky suddenly shrank into a ball. The Morpho warriors woke up and controlled the clouds to move north quickly.

"Want to run!"

Mo Lan jumped up, spread her wings, and accelerated. She was as fast as a shadow, flickering and catching up with the floating clouds, and flapped her wings fiercely.

Corrosive wind.

A strong wind blew past and the clouds dispersed. The Morpho warrior hiding in the clouds was revealed. He flapped his wings in a panic and swayed left and right to avoid Mo Lan who was flying towards him.

Long Bai put away his throne of control, activated his wind wing ability, and rushed over at top speed. His original energy exploded, and his mottled remnant realm ability was activated.

Awakening from his sleep, not knowing what was going on, the Morpho butterfly warriors who fled in panic were in a trance before their eyes, and suddenly found themselves trapped in a world of ice and snow.

Fantasy!

The Morpho Warrior felt even more frightened. He stopped for a moment, felt his armor on his back sink, and his body fell rapidly.

The illusion disappears,

Mo Lan pressed on the Morpho Warrior's back, closed his claws and struck with pincers, tightly clamped the Morpho Warrior's wings, and pushed him down to the sea below.

Long Bai followed closely, and two balls of clear water shot out, falling on the head of the Morpho butterfly warrior, and instantly froze, sealing his head first.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Four more water balls were fired, freezing the six legs of the Morpho Warrior.

The freezing ability is continuously output.

The Morpho warriors completely lost the ability to struggle and resist.

Close to the sea.

Mo Lan loosened his claws and flashed continuously to stabilize his figure.

The Morpho warriors also flapped their wings desperately to slow down...

There was a loud bang and it crashed into the sea.

The splashing water froze in mid-air.

For a hundred meters in radius, the waves were still and the water was frozen.

The Morpho warriors who fell into the sea were frozen in the sea.

He also wanted to activate the water element to fight against the thaw, but soon discovered that Long Bai's ability was more than twice as strong as his own.

"hello!"

Long Bai stepped forward and greeted, "Zi! We meet again."

"Zi? Are you..."

Morpho warriors are confused.

"you do not know me?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"I don't know him at all."

"Don't you know me at all?"

"I don't know you at all. What do you want to do? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

Long Bai said leisurely: "The body shape can be changed and disguised, but the soul energy is eternal. Mental power and thoughts can lie, but soul fluctuations cannot deceive insects."

purple:"……"

Mo Lan also came closer and greeted warmly: "Zi, hello, my name is Wang Lan."

purple:"……"

Wang Lan?

Zi couldn't help but said: "What a crazy mantis!"

Mo Lan turned her head and looked at Long Bai, "This butterfly is really stupid. I just made up a fake name, and it actually took it seriously."

purple:"……"

Zi's ​​breath stagnated, and he asked again: "No one has any grievances, why are you trying to catch me?"

Long Bai: "No injustice or enmity? I told you that if I encounter you again, I will remove your wings and take them back to the king's nest for decoration."

Long Bai waved his claws.

Mo Lan stepped forward, then turned around and asked, "Huang Ya, did you tear off the wings forcefully?"

Long Bai: "Of course."

Mo Lan: "Isn't it too cruel to do this? It must be very painful, right? I suggest you unscrew the head first, so that it won't feel the pain."

Long Bai: "First remove the wings, then twist off the head."

Mo Lan: "...Okay."

"No~"

Zi suddenly screamed in fear and begged for mercy quickly: "Please, spare me. I will never dare to offend the ant king of Blue Island again. You can tie me back and ask for ransom from the volcano ant king!" The Volcano Ant King values ​​me very much and will definitely be willing to pay a generous... compensation!"

Long Bai and Mo Lan were stunned at the same time.

Long Bai raised his paw to signal Mo Lan not to say more, and asked calmly: "Does the Volcano Ant King think highly of you?"

Zi: "The Volcano Ant King trusts me very much and treats me better than his subordinate King Zuo."

Long Bai: "When you passed by this place..."

Zi: "The Volcano Ant King arranged for me to go to the south to do something..."

Long Bai: "What's the matter?"

Zi: "Nothing..."

Long Bai: "Wang Lan."

Mo Lan raised her paw.

"Spare my life!"

Zi screamed and spoke quickly: "The Volcano Ant King asked me to go to Welling Mountain to ask if there are any changes in the transaction of divine fruits. If not, we will continue as usual."

Long Bai: "Then are you going or coming back?"

Zi: "Go back."

Zi: "Nothing has changed, everything remains as usual. Next autumn, the divine pandanus will be delivered to Huanlu Island on time."

Zi explained: "Both Huolun Island and Welling Mountain produce divine fruits, and there is a long-term and stable exchange between them."

Long Bai: "Oh——"

Long Bai did not continue to ask further questions, but changed the topic and asked: "Do you know our origins?"

Zi: "Last time we met, you were gifted in the power and water systems, and you seemed to have the wood talent. This time, you suddenly have the wind talent. You must be Blue Island. After thinking about it, this is the only possibility. The mutant male ant king of the noble Ishikari blue ant tribe!”

Long Bai and Mo Lan were stunned again, understanding.

It turns out that the name of the large offshore archipelago on the west side of the main continent is 'Blue Island', and the mutant Ishikari red ants on the island are officially called 'Ishikari blue ants'.

Moreover, the last guess was correct. There is indeed a divine seed on the Blue Island that gives the wind talent.

Zi was innocent and helpless, and said pitifully: "I was too stupid. I never thought that the noble Ant King of Blue Island would go out to play in the sea. I was too stupid. I should have recognized him the first time we met. If I had recognized , I will definitely invite you to Huanlu Island as a guest and treat you with the highest standards of etiquette..."

"What a smart butterfly, you actually figured out where I came from!" Long Bai was shocked and waved his tentacles to Mo Lan, "Kill him."
