Astral Ant Tribe

In the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent, the starship exits the hillside.

Nanaba stood up in confusion, "Why is it that only Heliotrope came back?"

Caolong immediately said: "I guess it's the phantom flame spider named 'Snow Velvet' that arrived as promised."

Hazume: "Heliotrope came back alone, it must have been a message."

Nandi: "What's the message?"

Lu Dou: "Say hello. Then we are looking for a deal. Both parties will exchange valuable goods such as divine fruits and high-quality god-given force food at equal prices..."

Just as he was talking about it, Hedopod came out and turned to look at Qiye, "Lord Qiye, as expected, the Edelweiss Spider King is here. The Edelweiss Spider King came to talk to me alone and informed me There are some things that I need to report to the Grass Crow Spider King alone!"

--alone?

Immediately, the spiders around asked:

——Where are the hearts?

——What about the column spots?

--whats the matter?

--Is it important?

——Is there anything you can’t say?

——Tell us first.

Heliotrope: "Hearts and stylomas leave the business as usual."

Heliotrope: "This matter is too important. If I tell it and you spread the word, the Grass Spider King will definitely beat me to death."

Heidi said firmly: "No one can tell except King Caowu Spider."

suddenly,

The Caowu Spider King's mental power was shaken, and he said sternly: "Don't even ask. Heliotrope, get down from the mountain."

…

Yamashita Square,

The Caowu Spider King has been silently paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the starship passage. When he saw the arrival of Heliotrope, he waved his front legs to drive away the surrounding spiders, and propped up the original energy shield to isolate the mental power.

"Heliotrope, have you seen the Edelweiss Spider King?"

"Yes."

"What did it say to you?"

"The origin of the flame spider, Phytolacca, is named after the 'Pokeweed Divine 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..."

"The Phytolacca Sacred Tree only blooms one flower and bears one fruit at a time. The flower-fruit cycle lasts for 23 years. The name of the fruit it produces is 'Phytolacca Fruit'. It needs to evolve to the Spider King level before it can be used. It is given a name of ' Yu's space ability, condenses the divine pattern on his forehead, and the carapace on his forehead opens up an independent space where goods can be stored. This is the most ideal ability for our Flame Spider merchants, and it is also a symbol of the status of the tribe. Our Flame Spider tribe has a common agreement , stepping out of the Force Star Realm, no matter where you go, no matter what kind of living environment you face, the spiders with the "Yuwen" mark on their foreheads are the leaders. Everyone should take these spiders as the leaders, gather around them, and unite to face all unknowns. .”

"The yield of the divine Phytolacca fruit is not only low, but it is not distributed easily. In Phytolacca, after the Flame Spider Traveling Merchant retires, he can only move into his ancestral land, the Forbidden Mountain, with the unanimous approval of the Steward Spider King of the same clan. The Steward Spider King who lives in the Forbidden Mountain , only after obtaining the affirmation of the Phytolacca Sacred Tree can you obtain the divine Phytolacca Fruit."

"The saddest level is the pokeweed tree, which has extremely strict requirements on spiders. If the tribe cannot choose a spider that satisfies it, the pokeweed fruits produced will be destroyed. It would rather be destroyed than distributed at will."

"The more important reason for doing this is that there is another hidden ability of the divine Phytolacca fruit. The 'Yu pattern' condensed on the forehead is the key to unlocking the divine stone 'Huan'."

Heliotrope repeated the words of the Edelweiss Spider King exactly.

The Grass Crow Spider King felt his heart agitate as he listened.

Most of the information has been circulated in the ancestral land of Wanzu Continent, but some key information is missing...

Heliotrope solemnly said: "King Caowu Spider, and the most important point, King Edelweiss has repeatedly told me that this information must never be known to foreigners, or even other people of the same race."

Grass Crow Spider King: "You said——"

Heliotrope: "The sacred stone 'Huan' is an independent space isolated from our living world. It has an area of ​​about 10,000 square kilometers and has established a relatively complete ecosystem. Whenever it enters the reincarnation period of the Force, the Flame Spider tribe hides Enter it and survive.”

The Grass Crow Spider King was suddenly stunned and said: "So that's it! Is it that simple?"

Heliotrope: "To survive in the Force, life needs to consume a huge amount of Force. There is only space in the world without Force, so it can only consume raw stones to replenish it. The Traveling Flame Spider does not cultivate, and needs a large number of wild God-given seeds to provide the Force needed for evolution. food."

I have always only known that the sacred stone "Huan" can protect the Flame Spider tribe from the period of silence of the Force, but I don't know exactly how it does it.

That’s how it turns out…

No wonder, these concepts of earning wealth and accumulating rough stones are almost integrated into the blood of the Flame Spider...

It turned out to be for this...

Grass Crow Spider King: "I understand——"

Heliotrope: "The Edelweiss Spider King said that the southern hemisphere is rich in rough stone production and prices are higher than those in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, it said that the spider kings who are the stewards of the ancestral land of Ten Thousand Tribes Continent can discuss and give the collected wild gods to All the seeds are sent over, and if there are flowers, divine seeds such as Aleucia leucophylla, etc. would be the best.”

Grass Crow Spider King: "I——"

The Grass Spider King subconsciously wanted to say something bad. His thoughts changed quickly, and he calmed down again. He solemnly said: "I understand. Heliotrope, are there any more?"

Heliotrope: "King Edelweiss Spider asked us to settle the accounts. If we can come up with 10 billion rough stones without affecting the development of the tribe, we can arrange for one or two people who are highly respected, have a successful career, are extremely powerful, have a calm personality, are decisive, and have great wisdom. The Spider King, who is powerful and capable of being the leader, leads the spider group to get rich together, and is responsible for transporting them back to the merchant land."

——Isn’t this just talking about me?

Grass Crow Spider King: "Very good! I understand!"

The Grass Crow Spider King asked: "Heliotrope, are there any more?"

Heliotrope: "The edelweiss king asked, which tribe is the white-legged flame spider tribe a branch of? There is no white-legged flame spider in the ancestral land of Phytolacca. We can arrange for some ordinary white-legged small spiders to migrate to Phytolacca for development."

Grass Crow Spider King: "The White-Legged Flame Spiders are separated from the Colorful Flame Spider Tribe. They just refuse to admit it. The migration is definitely no problem and will be arranged next year."

Heliotrope: "Remember."

Grass Crow Spider King: "Is there any more?"

Heliotrope: "No more."

Caowei Spider King: "Except for the migration of the White-legged Flame Spider tribe, you can tell me everything else. Don't tell anyone, including Zeqi, Qiye, and Luojin. Remember, no spider can tell anyone. If I must pursue it and force you to tell me, let it come to me."

Heliotrope: "I understand!"

Heliotrope: "King Caowu Spider, no, we really just..."

Caowu Spider King: "You have four words for the Edelweiss Spider King. First, the Divine Grade One is a special seed given by the flower god. It belongs to the continent of all races. It is managed by the Flame Spider Kingdom and cannot be returned to the ancestral land of Shanglu." . There should be no problem with the divine grade Wujiamu god-given seed. I will report and discuss it with the spider kings who are in charge of the ancestral land."

"Second, there are not many ordinary wild God-given seeds. You can send some of them back to the Phytocontinent first, and the rest can be migrated before the next reincarnation of the Force. This is my spider's suggestion. In the end, we still need to take care of the spider. The kings will discuss it together and inform us of the result next year.”

"Third, 10 billion rough stones can definitely be obtained, but two or three spider kings are not enough. For such a large amount, at least five spider kings must be escorted together, Yuan Zi, Zi Cai, Xiancai, Watase, and White Legs. , each choose a Spider King."

"Fourth, please ask the Edelweiss Spider King to say hello to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree for me, and tell it that we, who are living abroad, have been looking for a way home."

Heliotrope: "I know——"

Grass Crow Spider King: "Go. Go and come back quickly."

…

starship channel,

The galloping Heliotrope suddenly slowed down.

The rumbling, rumbling, rumbling sound of the stone slabs of the wheel is getting closer.

Hong Tao appeared in sight as he ran and pulled a stone wheel cart loaded with goods.

Tsubasa, who was standing on the wheeled cart, jumped to the ground and ran up quickly.

"Heliotrope!"

"Stylus spot..."

"What secret? Tell me quickly!"

"I can't tell you. King Caowu Spider told me, and King Zeqi Spider can't tell you this either."

The more you don't let anyone know about it, the more it will make the spider feel itchy.

"You told me secretly?"

"Don't dare."

"I won't tell the other insects. Hongtao, you go first. Heliotrope, let's go to the passage over there and tell me quietly."

"no."

"Heliotrope, can we still be friends?"

"I don't dare to tell you whether we are friends or not. Only me and the Grass Spider King know about this matter. If a third or fourth spider knows about it, I will definitely be the one who leaks the secret. Then I will be in trouble."

"Okay. I won't embarrass you. Heliotrope, tell me, what is it about? What aspect is it about?"

Heliotrope thought for a while and said: "The origin, development, and future plans of our Flame Spider Traveling Merchant race."

Stylus Spot: "???"

Stylus Spot: "How about specifics?"

Heliotrope: "To put it more specifically, we must not forget our roots as a spider and cannot be content with the status quo. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace and forge ahead."

Stylus Spot: "Are you talking about spider language?"

Heliotrope: "Stigma, I've said enough."

Stigma: "Heliotrope, you are losing a friend. It may not be too late to save him now."

Heliotrope said: "I really can't say."

Hong Tao, who was silent on the side, waved his tentacles and slapped Stizari on the head, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Let's go."

"oh--"

Stigma was not very happy, he opened his legs to stop him and wanted to ask...

"Goodbye, friend -"

Heliotrope passed around the columnar spots and disappeared in a flash.

…

"Edelweiss Spider King!"

"Longbai Ant King!"

Heliotrope greets.

Long Bai was curious, but seeing how cautious the Edelweiss Spider King was and not being able to ask him face to face, he decided to exit the trading cave.

The Edelweiss Spider King held up the original energy shield and enveloped himself and Heliotrope.

Heliotrope said directly: "King Edelweiss Spider, King Caowei Spider asked me to bring you four sentences."

Heliotrope: "First, the divine product Yi Zhaohua is a special seed given by the god. It belongs to the continent of all races. It is managed by the Flame Spider Kingdom and cannot be returned to the ancestral land of Shanglu..."

Heliotrope relayed the words of the Grass Spider King exactly as they were.

The Edelweiss Spider King pondered for a moment and said one by one: "The Divine Grade One Photo Flower is extraordinary. It is best to think of a clever way to send it back to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree so that it can be seen by the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

"As for ordinary god-given seeds, this is the key to the continuation of the tribe. What is the specific number? I hope the Grass Crow Spider King can fight for more."

"As for the transportation of rough stones, five spider kings may be a bit too much. Don't make a decision in a hurry. I also need to discuss it with the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

"As for returning to Phytolacca, we can first select a group of ordinary flame spiders with excellent bloodlines, send them back to Phytolacca, and integrate them into the caravans of various tribes. From now on, every thousand years, a group will be selected and sent back to Phytolacca."

Heliotrope: "Remember."

"very good."

Edelweiss Spider King: "We've finished talking about official matters. Heliotrope, there are still some private matters. You can go to the Grass Spider King and ask if there are any particularly powerful divine fruits in the northern hemisphere continent. We can exchange knowledge."

Heliotrope: "Let me ask."

Edelweiss Spider King: "I specialize in the trade of divine fruits. I basically know and can get the divine fruits in the southern hemisphere..."

Heliotrope ran away and turned back to report to the Grass Spider King.

…

soon,

Heliotrope came running back again.

"Edelweiss Spider King, Caowei Spider King said that it knows an extremely precious divine fruit, and there is a way to get it. However, Caowei Spider King wants to ask you first, is there a way to exchange pokeweed fruit for it? ?”

The eight eyes of the edelweiss spider king were blazing white, and he asked in shock: "What do you want in exchange for Phytolacca fruit?"

Heliotrope: "I don't know. The Grass Spider King didn't say anything. If it can be changed, it will tell you. If not, there is no need to say more. Talking too much will only increase worries."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Do you still have to ask? Definitely not. The Phytolacca Sacred Tree has the final say on the divine Phytolacca Fruit, and there is no possibility of exchange."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Then I will first report some powerful divine fruits to the Caowei Spider King. There must be something he needs. The first one is the divine silver leaf fruit..."

…

Hearts and column spots are running back and forth, looking for Longbai to trade normally.

Heliotrope kept running back and forth, sending messages to the Grass Spider King and the Edelweiss Spider King. Sometimes, it had to make one trip for a word. It took two days and countless trips before finally reaching an agreement.

The Edelweiss Spider King said goodbye and left on his own.

The transaction of God-given Force Food on Longbai's side was over, and he headed straight to Molan Mountain, carrying Mo Lan, to first complete the search for God-given seeds in various Force places in Yunji Continent this spring.

Mo Lan stayed at Bailian Lake.

Lone Pine delivers rough stone to Citi Hill.

After finishing all kinds of things, it’s late spring.

With the help of the Dominion Throne, Hei Huai completed his sixth leap in evolution. His body length shrank to just over 1.4 meters, and he became a senior king in the 1st age.

"Black locust!"

Long Bai called out with his spiritual power.

"Longbai Ant King"

Hei Huai tried to respond with mental power.

"Black Sophora japonica!" Juniper followed the greeting and enthusiastically taught: "Pay attention to the honorific title, call me King."

Hei Huai: "Your Majesty."

Juniper: "Do you know the two kings?"

Hei Huai: "I know Mantis Warrior Mo Lan!"

"Pay attention to the honorific title! Second King!"

Juniper waved its tentacles and struck, greeting: "Let's go, I will take you to patrol the mountains..."

Juniper suddenly trembled, turned his head, and met Long Bai's ant-killing gaze. He then retreated angrily, "Your Majesty, you have something to say."

Long Bai: "Hei Huai, eat and rest, recover, and test your abilities."

Hei Huai: "I understand, Your Majesty!"

Cedar and Black Persimmon noticed the movement deep in the ant nest and rushed over one after another.

First arrange for Heihuai to eat enough, rest for a while, and then go up the mountain together to Shandong Reservoir.

"Water ability, the first one is water control; the second one is hydrological shield; the third one is boiling water; the fourth one is freezing; the fifth one is water creation..."

Long Bai manipulated a ball of water, demonstrated in turn, and asked: "Hei Huai, how many have you understood?"

Hei Huai thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that I have understood everything."

Long Bai waved his paw, signaling Hei Huai to try it.

Heihuai thought for a while, bent his tentacles, activated his water element, condensed into a drop of morning dew on the tip of his tentacles, controlled it to fly up, the water element exploded, and instantly turned into a crystal ice bead, the water element's original energy It erupted again, and the ice beads sublimated and turned into water vapor and disappeared.

Hei Huai thought again, and his body surface was covered with a light blue water elemental energy shield.

Juniper's claws are cheap, he raised his claws and poked, and the shield shattered.

Oncoming was Long Bai, who was waving his tentacles and striking wildly.

Hei Huai: "..."

Xiangbai: "Black Sophora japonica, do you only have five abilities? You are the Specialized Blue Ant's Ascension and Evolution King. Where is the refining ability of the Specialized Blue Ant?"

"It's still there, but it seems to have changed..."

Hei Huai thought for a while, stepped onto the water, scanned the grass on the lakeside with his mental energy, activated his water control ability, wrapped it in a water ball, and caught a small fish about three to four centimeters in size.

Water ability is activated.

The transparent fresh water surrounding the small fish turned into a deep blue color, rapidly rolling and condensing...

Lasts for a long time,

The four- to five-centimeter-sized water ball shrunk into the size of a rice grain, a blue viscous liquid.

The black locust tree controlled it and flew gently, landing in front of the cedar tree.

"Xiangbai, this is the refined 'food' of the small fish, please try it."

"oh--"

Xiangbai looked at Longbai, "Your Majesty, please come first."

Long Bai had an idea, and a drop of azure liquid fell in front of the Tehua Qingbing who was watching the excitement, and gave the order: Eat it

Qing Bing waved his tentacles and sniffed, it was the smell of meat, and he licked it.

Qingbing releases happy pheromones: delicious!

Everyone understands.

This is the complete form of the refining ability of the creator's civilization.

Use water directly to concentrate food into a viscous liquid state.

What about the impurities eliminated during the refining process? Not even a scum is left!

This ability is very strong!

Black Persimmon suggested and asked: "Hei Huai, where is the force food? Can it also be refined?"

Xiangbai immediately turned around and ran down the mountain, "I'll go to the treasure house and bring some up!"

Xiangbai ran back to the treasure house, took a small bag of nine-leaf yellow skewer seeds given by the gods and went up the mountain.

The black locust tree picked up a grain, peeled off the outer hard shell, swung its tentacles lightly, took a small ball of water from the nearby reservoir, controlled the grain, and activated its power.

The transparent water turned into azure color, violently rolling inside and outside, condensing...

After continuing for a while, it turned into a drop of thick mucus smaller than a grain of rice. It was azure blue with milky white, and its original energy was highly concentrated, condensing and not dispersing.

Hei Huai: "Your Majesty, it's ready——"

The refining ability is basically clear: refining ordinary food and force food into high-purity food that is easier to store and transport and can be absorbed quickly and efficiently.

If it is refined force food, it also has a side effect: it can restrain the original energy, greatly reduce the escape rate of the original energy, and facilitate packaging and storage.

Black Sophora japonica is currently only at the 1st stage of advanced evolution. Will it evolve to Mountain Lord level, Lord level, or King level in the future?

The ability will definitely increase significantly. The first thing to increase is the refining rate...

Ordinary force food is not worth wasting time and energy, God-given force food can...

Ant King Honey will soon undergo a qualitative change and upgrade!

Long Bai praised: "Hei Huai, you did a great job!"

Long Bai: "Hei Huai, you stay in Xianglan Mountain for the time being and learn about traveling trade from Xiang Bai. As the 2nd-year-old Senior Queen, I will send you to the Purple Lime Worm Country to learn fighting from the Linnan Sacred Tree. Craftsmanship and the conduct of war.”

Long Bai: "In a few years, juniper, black locust, and cedar may stay in Fanglan Mountain, while black persimmon will go to the purple linden country to help."
