Astral Ant Tribe

The old locust tree in front of the cave actually gave birth to a god-given seed. This made Long Bai and Mo Lan, who had originally planned to give up the spring search, change their minds. They sent the Edelweiss Spider Queen away and returned to Yunji Continent to search for the Force One by one. got up.

Nothing was found.

Along the way, he sent the sacred black mo fruit to Yinbai Mountain and handed it over to Shanshi.

Mo Lan stayed in Feiguang Mountain to help.

Long Bai went to Xiangsi Island to continue operating and developing the branch.

Two months later, Wanglan Continent entered a cold winter. The differentiation of specialized ant larvae cultivated in separate nests became stable. No need for multiple tubes. The worker ants and blue ants knew how to feed them until they formed cocoons and emerged into ants.

Things are done here on Xiangsi Island.

Long Bai set off for Shaking Leaf Island.

…

The transplanting work of Yushu No. 1 fruit seedlings has been completed.

The newly sown seeds have sprouted and grown into seedlings that are more than ten centimeters tall. Black birch is directing small and medium-sized worker ants to select seedlings in the nursery.

On the hillside in the distance, Azuki was wielding her pair of pliers and was busy cutting down trees in preparation for reclaiming wasteland and transplanting the next batch of fruit seedlings.

Long cypresses flew over and circled down on the hillside where Zhu was working.

"Xiao, don't destroy the big trees on the island such as the fragrant silk tree, the iron core tree, the plum tree, and the ash tree. Just leave them where they are."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Xing agreed, raised his pincers high and cheered: "Your Majesty, you are here!"

Long Bai: "...here he comes."

Zhu: "Your Majesty, good news. Silver cypress and black birch have been waiting for you for half a month. I heard from them that a special blue ant that can evolve into a king has appeared in the ant nest, and now they are in urgent need of black lotus seeds."

"oh!"

"Blue ants?"

Long Bai was overjoyed and activated his soul-fixing ability.

On the top of Xifenchao Mountain, beside Yinbai, there is a blurry and weak soul.

"Xun, you are busy!"

Long Bai said a word, flapped his wings and soared into the air, activated his wind wing ability, and landed on the top of the mountain in a few breaths.

"Your Majesty!"

Yinbai kept observing the movement down the mountain, shook his tentacles and patted the blue ant beside him, "I guess, Zhu has told you the news about the discovery of a specialized blue ant that can leap to evolve into a king. Well, that's it."

——Hello, Your Majesty~

The specialized blue ants waved their tentacles to greet Long Bai.

Yinbai happily introduced: "Your Majesty, the specific story is this. Half a month ago, I led the blue soldiers to go to the sea to catch a large number of fish and brought them back to the blue ants for refinement and storage. I was careful and discovered that this guy's belly It was always unable to drum up, and I secretly observed that all the food given to it for storage was transferred to other ants."

Yinbai: "This guy also likes to wander around in the ant nest, so I initially judged that this is a specialized blue ant whose soul has been sublimated and can evolve into a king! Then I took it and taught various Knowledge, indeed, it has a memory and understanding ability that far exceeds that of conventional specialized ants.”

Yinbai: "Your Majesty, I have already decided on a name for the second king. It is called Black Sophora japonica. The second king is guarding a locust tree god-given seed now. It must be this name."

Yinbai finally said: "Your Majesty, what I discovered is about the reward..."

Long Bai: "...reward you with Ant King Honey of 100,000 rough stones."

Long Bai asked: "Is everything going well on the island?"

Yinbai: "It went well. It's just that there are a lot of things going on, and Heihua is a little busy."

Long Bai: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry. Just tell Hei Hua that the work on the island is still focused on digging underground water veins and channels. There is no rush in reclaiming wasteland and planting Rain Tree No. 1."

Long Bai asked again: "Didn't you find any other Zerg warriors passing by nearby?"

Yinbai: "No——"

Then it'll be fine.

Long Bai opened his mouth and spit out the throne of control, controlled the magnification, and landed on it with the special blue ant.

"I will send Heihuai back to Fanglan Mountain. I will first arrange to evolve and study in Fanglan Mountain."

…

The reason why the blue ants control the throne is special, and they have the ability to "refine" that even the ant king has not understood.

Long Bai once thought that there would never be an individual from blue ants who could evolve into a Zuowang.

I didn't expect it to work.

The question then arises, will the refining ability disappear after evolving King Zu? Or, further improve and improve?

The three well-informed Sacred Trees, Citi, Lin Nan and Quandong, all agreed that eating food into the stomach and refining it into ant honey is only the primary form of refining ability, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in this ability.

Long Bai observed the blue ants refining force food and had the same opinion, and he was almost certain to realize this ability when he evolved to the king level.

…

Yinbai was too clever, but he thought wrongly. Longbai didn't go to Feiguang Mountain to announce the good news at all, but carried Heihuahua directly back to Xianglan Mountain.

The ruling throne arced across the sky and stopped at the entrance of the ant nest in the south of the mountain.

"Long Bai, are you back?"

Zhan Lan's spiritual power came closer.

Currently, the blue god-given tree is over 180 meters tall. Its spiritual power can extend directly to the mountain, command the ant colony, and manage the entire territory south of the mountain.

Under the nourishment of the original power field of the water system, many vital plants planted on the south side of the mountain range such as dragon cypress and mochi orchid have improved in terms of yield and quality. Common plants have grown luxuriantly and various animals have increased.

A pair of white-necked crows actually built a nest on the cypress tree.

When Long Bai saw it, he subconsciously wanted to get rid of them.

After a second thought, he gave up the idea and led Hei Huai to jump off the throne.

Zhanlan's spiritual power asked:

"Long Bai, this is a specialized blue ant."

"Yes."

"Can you evolve into a Saou like Black Persimmon?"

"Yes. It's called Black Sophora japonica."

"oh!"

Zhanlan: "I heard that the Purple Lime Worm Kingdom is too busy. Now it's better, it can go and help Juniper."

Long Bai: "I plan to do the same."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and issued an order, arranging a team of young soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave to lead the way and lead Hei Huai into the ant nest to familiarize himself with the smell and environment.

"Zhanlan, how is the cultivation work of Yinbai No. 3 going?"

Long Bai asked about the situation.

Zhanlanhui reported: "I first used bud culture technology to breed 10,000 seedlings. I plan to screen and retain 2,000 strong seedlings for transplanting next spring."

Zhan Lan: "The mutant mother plant of Silver Cypress No. 3 you sent back will grow to a height of over 2.5 meters this year. It will bloom in the spring of next year and produce the first batch of seeds next year."

Long Bai: "Very good——"

Upon noticing the movement, juniper, cedar, and black persimmon rushed over.

Long Bai paused, waited for them to arrive, and then ordered: "Yin Bai No. 3 produces seeds and sends them to the purple linden country for sowing. We will not promote them in other places for the time being. Wait until one of the vines is chosen as a life seed and confirm the type of enhancement." Make plans.”

"good."

"knew."

"clear."

Azure, cedar, and black persimmon agree.

It didn't matter, Juniper climbed onto the throne, swinging its tentacles back and forth to search. On it were a pile of empty spider silk bags, a few empty jars, and a temporary wooden ant nest made of a tree stump for storing ant eggs.

"Your Majesty, where are the two great kings?"

Long Bai said angrily: "Can you still dig out the two kings from the pile of debris?"

Juniper: "I looked for it, but there is no smell of the Second King."

Xiangbai also asked: "Your Majesty, have the two kings stayed on Xiangsi Island?"

Long Bai briefly explained: "There is a god-given locust tree seed in Feiguang Mountain that is being gestated. The two kings stayed in Feiguang Mountain to help."

Long Bai: "A new specialized blue ant has appeared on Shaking Leaf Island that can evolve into the King of Zuo. Its name is Black Sophora ant. I have arranged to go into the ant nest to familiarize myself with the environment. Xiang Bai, go to the treasure house and look through it to see if there is anything else. No black lotus seeds."

"Wow!"

"Great!"

Cedar cheers.

"The king is mighty!" Juniper turned around and rushed towards the ant nest first.

…

The treasure house of Xianglan Mountain always stocks black lotus seeds.

The cedar was turned out.

Black Sophora tries.

The Force is absorbed into the brain.

That was the final confirmation that Hei Huai could evolve into King Zuo.

Stay in Xianglan Mountain and be taken care of by Xiangbai for the time being.

Long Bai went to Bailian Lake to observe the growth of the ash tree's god-given seeds.

After nearly 10 months of growth, the tree is more than eight meters tall. At this time of summer, high temperatures and strong sunlight are the season when branches and leaves are sprouting and growing vigorously.

The soul consciousness has long been awakened. Long Bai stayed in Bailian Lake for two months, communicating with the God-given seeds of the ash tree and imparting knowledge. He also communicated and became familiar with the God-given seeds of the nine-leaf yellow skewer planted here.

…

…

…

late autumn,

Scarlet Mountain is still hot.

Mo Lan lay alone under the tree planted by the Scarlet Light God to enjoy the shade, surrounded by a large group of ordinary little spiders.

--Huh?

Mo Lan raised her head in confusion, stood up carefully, spread her wings and fanned away the nearby little flame spiders, walked slowly to the open space, jumped into the air, and greeted them.

"Long Bai?"

Mo Lan circled and landed on the throne, asking, "Why did you come from the north?"

Long Bai briefly explained: "A special blue ant was born from a separate nest on Shaking Leaf Island that could leap to evolve into a king. I sent it back to Xianglan Mountain and simply stayed at Bailian Lake for two months."

"oh--"

Mo Lan cheered: "Great!"

Currently, the Kingdom of Xianglan Mountain is not short of resources, but it is also short of a king to direct the work.

Giant soldier ants specialize in combat, while intelligent worker ants can only be responsible for logistics management and territory management. These two types of command ants have a single function and are not cost-effective.

Adding another all-round assistant king is indeed great news.

After Mo Lan was happy, she squeezed away Long Bai, turned around and checked the spider silk bag on the throne.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai asked: "Did the seeds from the god-given locust tree be harvested successfully?"

Mo Lan: "Of course!"

Long Bai briefly explained: "First, I will lend the ant king honey worth 500,000 raw stones and the original ant honey worth 500,000 raw stones to the mulberry to help it evolve to the third age as quickly as possible and gestate the seed given by the god of the locust tree."

Mo Lan: "I was just about to say this!"

There is a native locust tree at the entrance of the mulberry cave. The strengthening effect is to strengthen the ability of the wood system, which favors the wood system and promotes the rapid growth of plants. For example, the bean vine wrapping ability.

Possibly, it also plays a role in the dragon cypress's ability for prosperity and tranquility.

The unit price is slightly higher than the comprehensive type of wood ability enhancement effect.

The locust tree is a large tree with acceptable yield and decent quality. Overall, it is considered a relatively good god-given species. At the lord level, the annual output can reach about 180,000 to 200,000 rough stones.

If you plant and sow the seeds two or three years early, most of the borrowed rough stones will come back.

Sang and Xuanlang, who were working in the forest, noticed the fluctuations in the force and had already rushed to wait under the tree given by the crimson god.

Mo Lan carried two bags of ant king honey, left the throne, and flew down first, "Sang, good news..."

…

…

…

Long Bai and Mo Lan began this year's autumn trade and search for divine seeds.

Then came the search for God-given seeds in the southern hemisphere.

Next is the reinforcement work of the underground water network of Yaoye Island.

Finished

The northern hemisphere has entered a new spring.

Send rice back to the mountain.

Lone Pine will urgently transport the 4.5 million rough stones that it hoarded from Cedar Mountain last year to Citi Hill.

All the work is done and time is almost up.

I live in Xianglan Mountain and waited patiently for half a month. The Edelweiss Spider King arrived as promised, and there was a commotion on the mountain.

Long Bai arranged cedars and junipers and quickly prepared the welcome banquet.

"I seem to have arrived a little early." The Edelweiss Spider King was in a good mood. Seeing Long Bai holding a black metal jar in his claws, he came forward to take a look and asked curiously:

"Longbai Ant King, is this what you are talking about... Ant King Honey?"

"Yes. King Ant Honey. Sweet food. Even spiders don't like it."

"Who told your spider that he doesn't have a sweet tooth?"

"That may be because Watase Flame Spider doesn't like sweets."

"Really? The Watase Flame Spider of Phytolacca can still eat sweets. Has the separation been too long, has there been a difference in the food habits of both parties?"

"I understand--"

Long Bai shook his tentacles and gave the order, "Xiang Bai, go quickly and get two jars of ant king honey for the Edelweiss Spider King."

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Xiang Bai, who was directing the worker ants to carry spices to the mountain, dropped his work, turned around and ran towards the ant nest.

Long Bai added: "Xiang Bai, take out a jar of Crimson Ant King Honey. Also, you can take out some of the various scented and flavored Original Ant Honey we have developed for the Edelweiss Spider King to taste."

"Understood. Your Majesty."

Cedar leaves.

Long Bai turned back.

Are there different fragrance flavors? The Edelweiss Spider King was secretly looking forward to it and asked nonchalantly:

"Longbai Ant King, along the way, I saw that many plants were blooming. Isn't it not far from the time to trade with the Flame Spider Traveler of Ten Thousand Tribes Continent?"

"There are still 10 days to go, King Edelweiss Spider. You are indeed here a little early."

"Yeah. Okay. I'll be there on time next year."

"You're welcome, King Edelweiss Spider. Wouldn't it be nice to come a few days early? I'll take you around to see the spring scenery of the Northern Hemisphere."

"It would be nice to see it..."

The Edelweiss Spider King changed the topic and asked: "Where is Lord Molan?"

Long Bai: "It is in Molan Mountain, taking care of the seeds given by King Molan."

"oh--"

The edelweiss spider king raised his claws and pointed at the nursery down the mountain, and asked: "What kind of cypress is that? It's very beautiful! A cultivated variety that is not recorded in the inheritance memory?"

Long Bai: "Yes. Silver cypress is the top species selected by our Xianglan Mountain Kingdom. We are concentrating all the strength of the kingdom on cultivation optimization. At the foot of the mountain is the newly selected third-generation sapling, Yinbai No. 3... …”

Long Bai and the Edelweiss Spider King chatted about plant cultivation and trivial matters related to kingdom management.

Xiangbai sent two jars of King Ant Honey and a dozen jars of ordinary Force Ant Honey.

The Edelweiss Spider King tasted them one after another and was full of praise.

The Edelweiss Spider King has a special liking for food, so the topic jumped to food again.

A simple welcome party was held, where people ate, drank and chatted until late into the night.

After a night's rest, Long Bai used the throne to carry the Edelweiss Spider King to visit places of origin such as White Lotus Lake, Red Hinoki Mountain, and Cicada Orchid Mountain.

After traveling around for a while, when we returned to Xianglan Mountain, it was time for the annual trade.

Xiangbai and Black Persimmon organized a team, carrying various goods for sale to the caravan, and set off in a mighty manner with the support of the mixed combat legion.

…

"..."

Hong Tao, Heliotrope, and Pillar looked at the Edelweiss Spider King across from them through the cracks in the starship, occupying half of the trading cave, and felt stunned for a while.

——What a strong spider!

Long Bai was the first to say: "Hongtao, Heliotrope, Styloma, don't be surprised, this is the edelweiss spider king from the southern hemisphere, the ancestral land of the flame spider, Phytolacca."

"???"

Hearts, Heliotrope, and Pillar pretended to have heard it for the first time, and they all expressed shock, confusion, and questioning thoughts in unison.

Long Bai: "When Mo Lan and I were traveling across the continent, we accidentally discovered an undersea starship passage that runs through the northern and southern hemispheres and connects Yunji Continent and Wanglan Continent..."

Long Bai repeated the story.

Hearts, Heliotrope, and Stigma kept exclaiming, shocked, and jumping...

After speaking,

Long Bai turned sideways and looked at the Snow Spider King.

"I've seen the Edelweiss Spider King!"

"Hello, King Edelweiss Spider!"

"Hello, King Edelweiss Spider, my name is Pillar."

Hearts, Heliotrope, and Stigma all greeted.

"Okay... hello..."

The Edelweiss Spider King responded speechlessly, suddenly became troubled, thought for a few seconds, and asked in a normal manner:

"Zuban, your Flame Spider Kingdom in Ten Thousand Tribes Continent is developing well, right? Isn't life difficult?"

Pillar Spot: "Thank you to the Spider King for your concern. We are developing very well, and most of the spiders live a prosperous life."

Heliotrope: "Now that the native flame spiders have joined the team, and there is a stable production of Force food within the kingdom, our development is getting better and better."

"It's good to be rich...I feel relieved..."

The Edelweiss Spider King paused and then asked: "I heard that your elders, the Caowei Spider King is very powerful. He is one of the strongest and most famous spider kings among the flame spider caravans currently walking on the continent. one."

Heliotrope: "Yes!"

Zhuban joked: "The fame of the Grass Crow Spider King has spread to the Shanglu ancestral land."

The Edelweiss Spider King said seriously: "I have something to do with it."

Heliotrope squeezed Styloma and asked seriously: "Edelweiss Spider King, what's the matter?"

Judging from the brief exchange, Styloma is lively and lively, while the Heliotrope spider is relatively calm.

Edelweiss Spider King: "What I want to say belongs to the top secret of our Flame Spider tribe. Heliotrope, you stay, I will tell you alone."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Heart Tao, Stylus Spot, could you please avoid it? Thank you."

Stylus Spot: "???"

Hong Tao raised her paw and poked the confused Stud Spot.

Styloma: "..."

Pillar: "King Edelweiss Spider, I am half of the direct descendant of King Caowu Spider!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I came in a hurry this year and didn't bring any small gifts. I'll make up for them next year."

Styloma: "..."

Long Bai waved his paw gently, signaling to go away first.

Tsubasa reluctantly turned around and followed Hong Tao away.

The cedars and black persimmons also saw the opportunity and left.

The Edelweiss Spider King slowly turned around and looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai: "I am a well-behaved ant."

The edelweiss spider king said solemnly: "Ninety-nine percent of the flame spiders in the Phytophaga do not know the secret I am going to tell you."

"Understood."

Long Bai had no choice but to exit the cave.

Only the Edelweiss Spider King and Heliotrope were left looking at each other across the gap in the starship.

The Edelweiss Spider King activated his ability and held up an original energy shield that blocked out the detection of mental power. He thought about it and asked:

"Heliotrope, do you know how the name of the place where our flame spiders originated, Phytolacca, comes from?"

Heliotrope: "...I don't know."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Named after the 'Pokeweed Sacred Tree'. In distant times, under the tree given by the Phytolacca god, the native flame spider tribe evolved a special branch. The round purple flame spider tribe gave birth to the first flame spider." Travel merchant…”
