Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai Mo Lan chatted with Zi from midnight until dawn, and inquired about the situation of the kingdoms along the northeastern coast.

Similarly, Long Bai and Mo Lan also shared with Zi the information they heard from the Edelweiss Spider King, the southern part of Wang Lan Continent, and the large and small kingdoms of Zhi Bai Continent.

At first, Zi questioned the origins of Long Bai and Mo Lan, but found that they even knew about the situation on Zhibai Continent, and couldn't help but believe it...

"King Yellow Ant, when we first met, you had an artifact from an extraterrestrial civilization that could go up to the sky and into the sea. That was..."

"Oh. The Throne of Control. That is a treasure that the Sisal Ant King bought from the Flame Spider Traveler at a great price. Last time I lent it out for fun, but unfortunately the Sisal Ant King discovered it, and I don't know where the things were hidden. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to borrow it.”

"The Sisal Ant King must be very powerful, right?"

"Of course. The Sisal Ant King is a super rich ant king who possesses...many, many God-given seeds."

"Oh! No wonder!"

Zi felt that she already knew something, and was very upset.

The opportunity passed in a flash. If you didn't grab it last time, you won't have another chance in the future.

Zi calmly changed the topic and asked: "King Huangzhao Ant, Lord Wang Lan, why are you here..."

"The land in Longmai Mountain is tight, and the territory allocated to me and Wang Lan is pitiful. In fact, we are also here to search for God-given seeds."

"Then... we all go together?"

"No. Zi, please continue. Wang Lan and I are going back to the kingdom to rest."

"Then how can I contact you in the future?"

"We often operate in the East China Sea, and we will see you again when we are destined."

"All right--"

Zi flapped her wings, flickering and falling towards the jungle below.

This guy is really brave, searching the island blatantly in broad daylight.

Aren't you afraid of being caught and torn apart by Forest Wasps?

It seems that I am really not afraid!

The Mori Wasp Kingdom has only one king-level queen bee. In the Blue Island War, it just lost 80,000 combat worker bees and one of its subordinate kings. It has almost no control over the offshore islands.

This loss cannot be made up for in ten or eight years.

This is the reality of the continent where ants and bees live. If you show a little bit of weakness, insects will immediately ride on your head and run wild.

Long Bai and Mo Lan shook their heads and pretended to go south.

In the southern sea, I randomly found an insect-free sea area, summoned the throne of control, dived into the sea a hundred meters deep, and lurked to rest.

"Long Bai, the Wasp Kingdom is not easy to bully either."

"It's not a big problem."

"Looking for help from the Edelweiss Spider King? Ask him to be an intermediate insect so that we can communicate with the Forest Wasp Kingdom?"

"Territorial issues will inevitably lead to contradictions and conflicts. Theoretically speaking, Flame Spider Travelers do not get involved in such disputes. The Edelweiss Spider King knows that we are not local insects, and we will not be involved in such trouble."

"I think so……"

"It's not a big problem. Let's talk about it in the future when I evolve to the king level."

Long Bai said it lightly.

Mo Lan was worried and asked: "What should we do now?"

Long Bai: "Rest."

Mo Lan: "Where are the Thousand Reef Islands? Are you not looking for them?"

Long Bai: "I secretly returned late at night, and my soul-fixing ability can avoid Zi. Let's continue looking."

…

After eight busy nights, I completed the search for all the offshore islands in the Thousand Reef Islands, but found nothing.

Long Bai and Mo Lan became more courageous and went to visit the islands controlled by the Mori Wasps offshore.

Still nothing.

Return to Shaking Leaf Island and continue working.

…

…

…

Zhibai continent,

Phytolacca,

The forbidden area of ​​the Flame Spider Kingdom.

The Edelweiss Spider King ran quickly through the rugged mountain roads, heading straight to the location where the Phytolacca Sacred Tree took root.

The wild god-given seeds and the spiritual power of the retired old spider king came to greet and ask:

——Edelweiss!

——Edelweiss is back?

——The Edelweiss Spider King, have you contacted the flame spider traveling merchants in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent?

——What do they say?

…

"Contacted."

The Edelweiss Spider King answered, quickened his pace, and came to the foot of the Phytolacca Sacred Tree.

"Pokelicia Sacred Tree, I have contacted the Caowei Spider King of the Wanze Flame Spider Tribe in the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent. According to preliminary negotiations, they have retained relatively complete information about the Phytolacca Ancestral Land, and recognize the Phytolacca Ancestral Land and the Shang Dynasty. Lu Shenshu, you.”

Phytolacca Sacred Tree asked: "Where are the resources?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "The Kusanagi Spider King also needs to report to the Kingdom's Spider King, and the decision can be made after discussion. However, the Kusanagi Spider King has initially agreed to your request and said that the Watase Flame Spiders will try their best to fight for it."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Preliminary statistics show that the Flame Spider Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent has two divine-grade God-given seeds, namely the divine-grade Wujiamu divine-gifted seed and the divine-grade Black Quartzwood divine-gifted seed. That divine tree Theoretically, the ownership of the seeds given by Pinyi Zhaohua God does not belong to the Flame Spider Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races Continent, but is owned by the mainland and cannot be sent back for the time being."

Edelweiss Spider King: "There are also 44 regular wild God-given seeds..."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Why are there so few?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Two reasons. First, there are no native species of flame spiders in the Flame Spider Kingdom of Ten Thousand Tribes Continent, so they have no territory to operate, only a single traveling merchant trade; second, they have completely lost their way back to the Phytocontinent. , I thought I would never come back, so I didn’t deliberately collect them. It is said that in the last reincarnation period of the Force, many wild God-given seeds were collected and cultivated in the Qianshu Continent, but after traveling to the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent, I thought I would never be able to return to the Phytocontinent. , one after another were taken away by the departing Spider King."

"..."

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree doesn't speak.

I can feel it, very angry.

The Edelweiss Spider King quickly added: "However, they have made enough rough stones in the Ten Thousand Races Continent to collect 10 billion."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Let them arrange to transport it back."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Yes——"

The Edelweiss Spider King regretted: "In the last reincarnation of the Force, they also collected a lot of rough stones in Qianshu Continent, but unfortunately they didn't have time to transport them away."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Have you hidden it? Draw a map and send it back. There will definitely be a chance in the future."

"King Caowu Spider also means the same thing."

The Edelweiss Spider King turned left and right, looked around, and said cautiously: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree, there is another question. What the Caowu Spider King means is that 10 billion rough stones are too much. They have to be transported from the Wanzu Continent through the Wanguo Continent to Yunji. The continent has a long way to go and is full of difficulties and dangers. I am afraid that one Spider King is not enough. Five spider kings are needed. Yuanzi, Zicai, Xiancai, Watase, and White Legs each choose a spider king. "

As soon as these words came out, the old spider kings around him became anxious.

——They want 5 divine pokeweed fruits?

——This is blackmail!

——Deliberately making things difficult!

——They have no sincerity at all!

——This is against the rules!

…

It takes 23 years to produce one of the divine pokeweed fruit, and a lot of old spiders in the ancestral land of pokeweed are eagerly waiting for it.

If you give away 5 of them, there will be no Phytoccaeus here in the next hundred years or so, and many older spider kings will have no chance.

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree said calmly: "Quiet!"

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree asked: "Xedong, what do you think?"

This is a fatal question~

If he said that he could agree, he would turn around and be beaten to death by the old Spider King who was surrounding him.

Let's just say we can't agree. It's probably going to be difficult to transport resources back to the Merchant Land.

Edelweiss Spider King: "I can't see the Spider King in charge opposite. I have no opinion. It all depends on the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "I'll let you discuss the matter."

Edelweiss Spider King: "The thing is, now, this matter has become a deal between the ancestral land of the Phytophthora Continent and the Flame Spider Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent. In this transaction, one party must make a sacrifice. Who should be sacrificed? Only the Phytophaga Sacred Tree can do this. You are qualified to make the decision.”

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Then how do you think we should make a decision?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I think you can discuss it with the spider kings about the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

The Edelweiss Spider King calmly returned the question to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree, determined not to express any substantive opinions.

The pokeweed tree cursed angrily: "You stupid spider who doesn't make progress! Arranging for you to use pokeweed fruit is the only mistake I made in my endless years."

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree said indifferently: "Xuelu, you are so clever. You can find a way to exchange for 5 divine fruits that can extend your life span for hundreds of years."

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "...Yes!"

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree said without any doubt: "At present, in my opinion, the three of you, Blood Root, Water Orchid, and Fork Pillar, are barely okay. You extend your life and delay using the divine Phytolacca Fruit for a hundred years. In addition, those who are still in the mainland Among the young flame spiders who are walking and have not retired into the forbidden area, you can nominate two outstanding ones and report their names to me."

——Thank you Phytolacca Sacred Tree!

——The Phytolacca Sacred Tree has unparalleled wisdom!

——Phytolacca Sacred Tree, what about me?

——And me?

--what should I do?

——Even so, we are still missing 5 divine pokeweed fruits!

Some spiders were ecstatic, some were anxious, and for a while the tree became a mess.

"well--"

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree sighed sadly, and with a rare soft tone, he said kindly: "Other spiders, leave if you should. The world outside is vast and vast, with infinite wealth and opportunities, infinite development space, and the road to the future is endless and far away. You don’t have to be obsessed with a magical Phytolacca fruit, and you don’t have to be worried about it.”

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Actually, in my opinion, you are all average, even stupid, and not enough to gain my approval. You always stare at the fruits of my tree and turn a deaf ear to my teachings. I also give you the final advice today. Let me tell you, as an intelligent being, the only thing that is indispensable is wisdom, and everything else is irrelevant, including power, status, wealth, and strength."

"..."

The spiders were silent.

"The Phytolacca Sacred Tree taught you the right lesson."

"Remember the teachings of the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

The spiders agreed.

Phytolacca Sacred Tree; "You all go. Edelweiss stays."

The spiders dispersed.

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, the space rippled, and there was a trance in front of my eyes. The surrounding world turned into a green patch.

The Phytolacca tree stands proudly in the center of the hazy green world.

The Edelweiss Spider King was flustered and said cautiously: "Phytolacca Sacred Tree, it's all my fault for being so stupid. I messed up everything."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Xiao Xuedong, you did a good job, but..."

The Phytolacca Sacred Tree paused and said with rare solemnity: "Xiao Xuerong, let me tell you another secret that you shouldn't know..."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Before that, you need to understand that there is no distinction between high and low among God-given seeds. From the perspective of a plant, every God-given seed has unlimited possibilities. However, you bugs care more about God's gifts. The income that seeds can produce, so from the perspective of you Zerg warriors, in terms of income, there are high and low levels of God-given seeds. Divide God-given seeds into ordinary, excellent, top-level, Divine product, this is a manifestation of the short-sightedness of the Zerg warriors, but it is also a real and real problem."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Edelweiss, the secret I want to tell you is that above the God-given seeds, there is also a Law Sacred Tree. From the perspective of evolutionary potential, the Law Sacred Tree is higher than the God-given seeds. In the original In the Power Star Realm, fifty-five Law God Trees will be born regularly. In terms of benefits and functions, they are also far higher than the existence of divine-grade God-given seeds. The Law God Tree has a distinctive feature, that is, using it to produce After harvesting the fruit, you can directly condense a divine pattern."

Edelweiss Spider King: "!!!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Phytolacca Sacred Tree, then you are..."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "I can probably be considered one, but I am not among those 55 trees. I am not in the natural sequence. I am the 56th Law Sacred Tree."

The Edelweiss Spider King was puzzled, but did not ask further questions. He changed his mind and asked, "What do you mean by the Phytolacca Sacred Tree, which Yizhaohua tree is..."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "It may be one of the Law Sacred Trees, but it is not certain. It may be that the ability it bestows conflicts with the natural laws of the Force Star Realm and has been suppressed or sealed. It may also be just a special Sacred Tree. The seed given to you. If you communicate with the Flame Spiders on the Ten Thousand Clans Continent, it is best to try to transport it back to the merchant land. I will confirm it. If the situation does not allow it, it must be protected and firmly controlled by the Flame Spider Clan. In the claws. If you encounter irreversible trouble, you can arrange for a spider to take you away from the Force Star Realm."

The Edelweiss Spider King said seriously: "I understand..."

The Edelweiss Spider King plucked up the courage and asked: "Why are there 55 fixed sacred trees of Phytolacca sacred trees?"

Phytolacca Sacred Tree said calmly: "It's just a little realization in a long time."

Obviously he doesn't want to tell...

The Edelweiss Spider King thought for a while and said: "Pokelicia Sacred Tree, you are the 56th tree outside the fixed number? So, since there is the 56th tree, it means that there can be the 57th or 58th tree, right?"

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "Yes! The probability is infinitesimally small. Over the years, I have never heard of a tree similar to mine being born."

Edelweiss Spider King: "I understand..."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "You also want to ask, how to distinguish between the Law Sacred Tree that is fixedly born and the Law Sacred Tree that is born by chance, right?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I am a spider with little curiosity, but at the same time, I am also a spider that is thirsty for knowledge."

Phytolacca Sacred Tree: "After using the fruit it produces, if there is help from the Force energy from the sky and the earth, from all directions, and there are laws blessing and condensing divine patterns, then it will be the law of the sacred tree that is born. On the contrary, if the fruit is used, , without the help of external forces from the star world, the original energy of the fruit itself condenses the divine patterns, and that is the law divine tree born by probability."

The surrounding space turned around and turned into a mountain forest environment with towering ancient trees.

Phytolacca Sacred Tree did not want to say more.

The Edelweiss Spider King didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he respectfully said goodbye and left.

…

…

…

Two months passed in a flash.

The harvest season in late autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and the intense spring in the Southern Hemisphere when flowers bloom.

Long Bai and Mo Lan set off again and entered the Thousand Reef Islands to search for the god-given seed.

Nothing gained.

Return to Pandan Mountain and start this year’s autumn traveling trade.

Baifanshan.

The throne of domination flew towards me.

Bai Fan and Wu Fan, who were guarding under the tree, stood up and waved their tentacles to signal.

"Huh?"

Mo Lan was shocked.

"This is……"

Long Bai and Mo Lan looked up.

At the end of autumn, when the temperature is getting colder and cooler, the tree planted by the God of Rice is sprouting a large number of new branches.

There is only one explanation for this out-of-season growth: it is about to evolve!

Mo Lan looked back and asked in surprise: "Red Fox, are you going to evolve to the lord level?"

Red Fox's mood was calm and calm, and he replied: "I can finally evolve."

Bai Fan couldn't hide his joy and said: "There will be signs at the end of summer."

Long Bai: "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Mo Lan also cheered: "Wu Fan, Bai Fan, Red Fox, congratulations to you!"

I think back then, when we were still middle-to-high-level warriors, the God-given white rice fruit trade brought considerable profits to Mo Lan and Long Bai.

Both Sang and Ghost Fan relied on the healing effect of the god-given white rice pulp to survive the most difficult stage of evolution.

But now, the seeds given by the gods at the mountain master level can no longer keep up with everyone's growth and evolution.

The lord level is not bad and can bring a lot of profits to white rice and black rice.

It took a hundred years to break through from the mountain lord level to the lord level. This speed is very fast, at least twice as fast as conventional wild god-given seeds.

It is completely possible for Bai Fan and Wu Fan to evolve to the king level before they leave the Force Star Realm and leave with them.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were sincerely happy for them.

Bai Fan sighed with emotion and said: "Finally, time has come and it's our turn to be lucky. Long Bai Ant King, Mo Lan, and there is good news. This year, Wu Fan and I also harvested a god-given seed!"

Wufan: "I cultivated the short-pod Inca beans!"

Bai Fan: "King Longbai Ant, do you still remember the tropical plant seeds we collected on Shaking Leaf Island when we explored the southern hemisphere continent? I collected hundreds of seeds, but in the end only seven or eight species were planted."

Long Bai: "Of course I remember..."

Long Bai: “I remember that the two varieties we collected at the time were the Inca Inca bean and the Inca long-fruited bean.”

Baifan: "The mutant fruit seedlings bred from the long-fruited Inca beans can adapt well to the climate of Baifan Mountain. The fruit pods are thick and short, so they are named 'short-podd Inca beans'."

"Then, this probably triggered the divine gift of law..."

Long Bai tapped his tentacles.

Long Bai and Mo Lan had already harvested many god-given seeds using similar methods, and they didn't find it novel.

Wu Fanfei ran back to the cave where he lived, then ran back with the spider silk bag, opened it, took out the metal box for storing seeds, and opened it again. Inside was a round bean of brownish red with dark green force patterns.

The particles are very large, nearly 2 centimeters in diameter.

A faint breath of woody original energy.

There is a high probability that the comprehensive wood ability will be strengthened, but there is a small probability that there will be a surprise.

"really not bad!"

Mo Lan praised him and asked, "Did you cultivate Wufan?"

Wu Fan: "Me and Bai Fan!"

The seeds are kept by Wufan, which is very obvious. Wufan, who is gifted in the awakened wood system, conceived the seed as a god-given life seed.

If the element system is consistent and the racial talent is blessed, the fruits produced will be of higher quality and the benefits will be better.

Wufan said shyly: "Longbai Ant King, Lord Molan, Baifan and I discussed it and thought we could breed it early and sow it, but we have been in a tight situation and have insufficient resources..."

After Wufan evolved to the lord level, he did not evolve again, and resources were concentrated on Baifan. They planned for Baifan to evolve to the king level first, and then go back and help Wufan evolve...

With the current situation, the plan may have to be reversed.

Wufan is only the 1st age lord now, and it doesn't cost much to evolve to the 2nd age.

Long Bai readily agreed: "No problem. I'll lend you 500,000 Force Ant Honey and 500,000 Wood Ant King Honey. Is that enough?"

Wufan: "That's enough!"

Mo Lan took the initiative and said: "Red Fox needs to reserve at least 100,000 rough stones to break through to the evolutionary lord level, right? Bai Fan, Wu Fan, do you have enough raw stone reserves in stock?"

Black rice and white rice sway their tentacles.

Mo Lan: "Then arrange for Long Bai to seize the time to transport some over."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Listen to the instructions of the Second King..."

Molan stayed to speak.

Long Bai works.

The Throne of Ruler can transport 60,000 rough stones in one trip. It can be done in two trips. An extra 20,000 rough stones can be prepared for emergencies.

Then make a few trips to the nearest ruins to transport a batch of god-given remains.

Not in a hurry, Long Bai and Mo Lan stayed in Baifanshan and continued to observe for five days. They concluded that Red Fox was going to break through to the evolutionary lord level and was in good condition with no risk of failure, so they took their leave.

I have nothing else to do. I will complete the search for God-given seeds in the Force Lands along the way while doing business in autumn.

It's early winter, wandering around.

Mo Lan went to the South Jujube Mountain to take care of the God-given seeds.

Long Bai set off alone and picked up Bai Fan to go to Shake Leaf Island. The soil system ability strengthened the underground water vein channel dug this year.

The intricate network of water veins designed by Long Bai is taking shape year by year.

The safety of the silver cypress, black birch, and water chestnut left on Shake Leaf Island is guaranteed.

When the number of worker ants that are good at digging and transporting reached 3,000, Long Bai began to cultivate green soldiers, green ants and specialized blue soldiers for gardening, enriching and improving the ant colony structure on the island. (End of chapter)
