Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai controlled the throne to shrink, carrying a medium-sized worker ant, holding the original stone in its mouth, and slowly flew closer.

The two jaws exerted force to bite the rough stone.

A burst of pure force exploded next to the cypress buds.

The rate at which the petals absorb the force suddenly increases.

It will end soon,

Nearly half of the original force contained in the original stone was absorbed.

This is still a flower that has not yet bloomed!

Observing this phenomenon, the insects were stunned.

Mo Lan said with difficulty: "Long Bai, it seems that we have cultivated a freak!"

Long Bai: "..."

Freak?

"..."

Silence, thinking.

Nan Qian said leisurely: "I can tell you responsibly that this is a divine tree!"

Ignore it.

Heihuang retorted: "The flowers haven't bloomed yet, are you so sure?"

Nan Qian said seriously: "The reason is very simple, I feel threatened by it!"

Black and Yellow: "A common problem with herbaceous plants is that a grasshopper will feel like a threat if it jumps in front of you."

Nan Qian was angry: "Heihuang, you want to fight!"

Not to be outdone, Heihuang said, "Come here and hit me."

Nan Qian: "If you have the ability, come here and see if I am tender enough to kill you..."

Heihuang: "Stop bluffing me. If you can kill a grasshopper, I will count you as the winner."

The two God-given seeds started to quarrel.

Zhanlan said solemnly: "Black and yellow, don't make any noise. What Nanqian said makes sense. The competition between plants is natural. I also vaguely felt a hint of threat. It's extraordinary that a flower bud can give me this feeling." generally."

Heihuang: "Why don't I feel it?"

Nan Qian: "Stay still."

Black and yellow are furious.

The two God-given seeds completely quarreled.

"Okay. Okay."

Long cypress has a big head.

Heihuang and Nanqian quarreled over nothing.

The three God-given seeds, Fruit Orchid, Green Flower Cold Orchid, and Snow Orchid, were constantly arguing and scolding each other.

Xianglan Mountain was troubled by these divinely gifted seeds, and there was no peace day by day.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to return, then handed a rough stone to the worker ants, and then controlled the ruling throne to approach.

Change the way, hold it with your claws, scratch it with your jaw teeth, and scatter the raw stone powder.

The force released slowly was absorbed by the flower bud, and the utilization efficiency of the original stone reached 100%.

Repeated many times, using 8 raw stones in a row, the bud's rate of absorbing the force will slow down. It is stable at about three times the speed of absorbing force power during the flower period of the God-given seeds seen in the past.

The insects breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhanlan, Nanqian, and Heihuang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't absorb the Force infinitely, otherwise, he would really have become a freak.

It's late at night.

Long Bai also created a thick fog with his water power, activated his tranquility power, and enveloped the cypress trees.

Finished

Long Bai ordered: "The two kings, I, and Spades will stay and guard. The other insects can return to their nests to rest."

Long Bai warned again: "Everyone, please pay attention. Don't make this matter public for the time being, and don't tell the Flame Spider Caravan. In a few days, the Edelweiss Spider King will come, and there is no need to reveal it to it."

Long Bai: "Forget it if it's not a divine product. If it's a divine product, keep it secret first. We'll wait until the first batch of fruits are produced, we've eaten them ourselves, and determined the type of action, flowering and fruiting cycle, batch yield and other key information before informing us." The caravan is not too late.”

The ants agreed, but they refused to leave and stayed together in the cypress forest.

…

dawn,

Facing the morning light, the flower buds bloom slowly.

The rate of absorbing natural force has accelerated again.

Long Bai used the same method to shrink the throne, and brought a medium-sized worker ant close to it, scratching the original stone and scattering powder to replenish it with force.

It lasted until mid-afternoon, and after consuming more than two hundred raw stones, the rate at which the petals absorbed the force finally slowed down.

The seeds begin to swell and develop...

We have seen many God-given seeds, and they are not so rare anymore, but this one is obviously very different from all the God-given seeds we have seen before.

Long Bai and others stayed under the tree.

Cypress carefully controls its power, assisting the growth of the mother plant with its ability to thrive and tranquilize.

Two days later, the petals wither, leaving a cone about 2 mm in diameter.

The fruit began to rapidly absorb the natural force again.

Long Bai used the same method, spent a day and night, and consumed more than 500 raw stones before the rate at which the fruit absorbed the force calmed down and stabilized at about three times the rate of the young fruit of the god-given seeds he had seen before.

…

It’s the warm spring season when flowers bloom all over the mountains.

Dragon cypress brings cedar and black persimmon to prepare for this year's transactions.

The Edelweiss Spider King arrived on time.

Let’s go to Hongnan Mountain Trading Cave together.

As in previous years, during the spring trading event, the Edelweiss Spider King spent a day completing various negotiations before saying goodbye and leaving.

Long Bai arranged for Hei Ti and Hei Hua to go over to help, while he returned to Fanglan Mountain to guard the cypress forest.

There is a high probability that it is a divine item, and it may be different from regular divine items.

Long Bai also paid special attention to it and continued to observe it for more than 10 days to confirm that there were no other changes. Then he felt relieved and ordered Spades and Heiye to keep safe and start this year's rough stone transportation work.

Finished

Then he took Mo Lan with him and quickly traveled around the continent to complete the search for the spring god-given seeds.

Finally, Hei Hua was sent to the Purple Lime Worm Kingdom, Hei Ye and Hei Ye were sent to Bailian Lake, and Hei Tao and Hei Ti guarded the Molan Mountain and Nan Zizio Mountain respectively.

The work on Yunji Continent has been completed.

The original plan was for Long Bai and Mo Lan to go to Xiangsi Island first to cultivate and expand the size of the ant colony, and at the same time direct the ant colony to dig the main escape channel.

At least build an underground escape passage directly to the seabed first, and then you can safely arrange for Cui Bai, Black Birch, and Azuki to stay on the island permanently.

Now, things have changed...

Long Bai decided to extend the vacation of Hei Hua and Li Zhi for one year, and suspended the development of Xiangsi Island for one year. Long Bai stayed in Xianglan Mountain and personally guarded the cypress forest.

Control your power carefully, use the prosperity ability once every five days and the tranquility ability once every three days to assist the growth of the cypress tree that breeds the god-given seeds.

…

The temperature is getting hotter in early summer

The rate at which the God-given cypress absorbs natural force has suddenly increased dramatically.

Still using the old method, Long Bai shrunk the throne closer and arranged for a medium-sized worker ant to scratch the original stone to replenish its original power.

It continued for a day and a night, consuming nearly 600 raw stones, and returned to stability.

But in the next four or five days, the cypress fruit turned out to be like a divine fruit. The fruit quickly expanded to a diameter of about 0.5 centimeters.

The expansion of the divine fruit during its growth!

Long Bai and Mo Lan continued to guard.

Three months later,

In late summer and early autumn, God gives the cypress fruit a second expansion...

The diameter reaches about 1 centimeter, and the fruit of a conventional cypress tree is about this size.

It’s getting weirder and weirder, with a layer of silvery-white scales gradually attached to the surface of the fruit, looking like it’s just begun to develop…

…

Molan's red-leaf rain tree god-given seeds have been gestated.

After simple preparation, sleep evolves.

Six days later, I woke up from a deep sleep.

Successfully completed molting.

2nd age lord.

Mo Lan opened the jar of ant honey herself, held it with her front feet, ate it, and walked out of the cave.

"Second King, how are you doing?"

The juniper guarding the entrance of the cave asked enthusiastically.

Mo Lan: "Do you still need to ask? I must have successfully awakened the earth element talent."

Juniper: "Congratulations to the second king! The second king is wise and mighty!"

Juniper: "Second King, where are your abilities? How many have you awakened?"

"let me see……"

Mo Lan buried his head in thought, and the joy of evolving and awakening new talents gradually disappeared, "It's too bad..."

Mo Lan raised her paw and threw away the metal can, and asked, "Long Bai is guarding the god-given seeds?"

Juniper: "Yes-"

Mo Lan: "Juniper, bring back some food. I'll go down the mountain."

"OK--"

Juniper wanted to ask, but seeing that Mo Lan was in a bad mood and suddenly unhappy, she didn't dare to ask more, turned around and ran away.

Mo Lan came down the mountain and without waiting for Long Bai to ask, he took the initiative and said, "Long Bai, it's a bit bad. Although I successfully awakened my earth talent, I only realized two abilities."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Two abilities are quite a lot."

Mo Lan swung his tentacles lightly, and a stone jumped up on the side of the road. He was suspended in the air with original energy control, "Earth and stone control ability."

Long Bai: "This is an ability that must be understood by awakening talent. There is no need to introduce it. What else?"

Mo Lan: "I couldn't realize the reinforcement ability of earth and stone as I wished."

As Mo Lan spoke, she raised her left front foot, and the energy of the earth and wind elements surged. The pebbles suspended in the air instantly collapsed and turned into fine gravel.

Mo Lan: "Earth and wind dual-system ability, sand transformation."

After saying that,

The dual ability of earth and wind was poured into six legs, and the original energy spread in all directions along the toes, and the compacted earth and stone ant tunnel quickly turned into a piece of sand.

This is another ability that is biased toward auxiliary attacks.

Long Bai was speechless.

The abilities that Mo Lan understood were almost all combat abilities, and none of them could help manage the territory.

Long Bai and Mo Lan also planned to awaken the earth talent, master the ability to solidify earth and stone, and open up Xiangsi Island, so there would be no need to ask for help...

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, how about I eat an amethyst grape first and evolve once?"

Amethyst Grape is a kind of earth-type divine fruit mastered by the Geranium Spider King. It gives one the ability to crystallize earth and stone, which is similar to the ability to solidify earth and stone, and the reinforcement strength is higher.

Mo Lan is now a 2nd-year-old lord, and has successfully awakened the four talents of earth, wood, water, and wind that come with the potential of the Orchid Mantis bloodline. He cannot find the divine item that gives power to the power system. The soul system is also calculated separately, and that is only missing gold, The four elements are fire, thunder and life.

Long Bai gently shook his tentacles and said: "The divine neem seeds have been reserved. It should not be changed. Let's stick to the plan. It will definitely not be too troublesome if it takes more trouble and pays the salary."

Every winter, Bai Fan was taken to Wanglan Continent to work, and then sent back again in spring. Long Bai found it troublesome.

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, eat more earth-type god-given force food. Maybe by evolving to the 4th age, you will understand the ability to solidify earth and stone."

Mo Lan: "Oh——"

Mo Lan: "It's time for me to evolve quickly."

Mo Lan's eyes flashed as she looked at the god-given cypress fruit.

Long Bai: "Don't even think about this one! This one is 99.99% divine. This time it's my turn."

Mo Lan was unhappy, "Fat Ant! I'll just take a look!"

"You just evolved, recover quickly! Don't look blindly!"

Long Bai waved his claws to drive him away.

Mo Lan walked up to the gold-plated cauldron and raised her paw to carve characters on the pot: The king is a bastard~The king is a miser~The king is selfish...

Long Bai: "..."

Long Baixiao reasoned and said: "Mo Lan, I will evolve to the 6th age immediately. My evolution is much faster than yours. If it is finally determined that this is a divine tree, then I will accelerate the evolution to the king level. In this way, we to maximize profits.”

Mo Lan: "Uh-"

Mo Lan changed the subject and asked: "Where are my God-given red-leaf rain trees? Sugarcane rain forest?"

Long Bai: "Huanglang Rain Forest. My God-given seeds of Elephant Foot King Orchid are also sown there..."

…

Long Bai sent Mo Lan to Xuanlang Rainforest to plant seeds.

Observe for three days to confirm it is correct.

Mo Lan was left to take care of herself.

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain and continued to guard.

…

Time flies and autumn comes, and there are various matters that Long Bai must handle personally.

In autumn, traveling merchants trade and search for God-given seeds in Yunji Continent.

In late autumn and early winter, the God-given cypress fruits are still green and full of vitality, without any sign of maturity.

Long Bai and Mo Lan quickly set off to Wanglan Continent, searching for the god-given seed on Xiangsi Island, Yaoye Island, and Thousand Reef Islands...

After many years, the Forest Wasp Kingdom regained its strength and regained control of the offshore islands. The Mountain Lord-level little queen bee also successfully broke through and was promoted to the Lord level, and the kingdom's dominance was even stronger.

Long Bai and Mo Lan must be cautious again in their actions on the Thousand Reef Islands.

Complete your search quickly,

To no avail.

Return to Pandan Mountain and continue to guard the cypress forest.

When the weather gets cold in winter, the cypress trees stop growing, and the development of the God-given cypress fruits also slows down significantly.

Wait patiently.

In early spring, when the weather warms up, the third fruit expansion finally comes.

This time, the rapid absorption of force lasted for two days and one night, consuming nearly a thousand raw stones.

The diameter of the god-given cones reaches about 1.5 centimeters, which is no longer within the scope of normal cypress fruits. The silver-white scales are more thicker and brighter, and the entire fruit has turned an eye-catching bright silver color.

There are still no signs of maturity.

Long Bai simply extended the vacation for Cui Bai, Black Birch, and Azuki for another year, while he personally stayed under the tree.

…

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are another year.

The God-given cypress fruit has expanded for the fourth, fifth and sixth times successively. The diameter of the fruit has reached about 3 centimeters, which is almost as big as that of pine trees.

The mother cypress tree that gave birth to it has grown from a half-sized cypress tree just over five meters tall to a large cypress tree seven or eight meters high.

Still no signs of maturity.

——Is this really a divine seed?

Everyone in the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom was confused and completely confused.

I asked the Citizen Sacred Tree and it was unheard of.

Perhaps, the Edelweiss Spider King knows more, but he doesn't dare to tell it, or even to test for relevant information by making insinuations.

At this time, Long Bai had figured out the fruit expansion cycle of the God-given fruits, so he simply brought Black Birch, Black Leaf, and Black Leaf with him, and began to travel to Yunji Continent's Red Hinoki Mountain, Chanlan Mountain, Hulan Mountain and other places of origin, To update and iterate the old version of the silver cypress tree, transplant three new types of silver cypress trees: Silver cypress No. 1004, Silver cypress No. 1101, and Silver cypress No. 2001.

Take a look at Xianglan Mountain every three or five times and continue to observe the changes.

It’s been a busy year.

The god-given cypress fruit has completed the seventh and eighth fruit expansion.

In the early spring of the fourth year, God gave the cypress fruit its ninth expansion, which consumed three thousand raw stones.

The fruit is just over 4 centimeters in diameter, and part of the silver cypress scale powder has fallen off, revealing a green-green lignified scale shell.

It seems to be almost mature.

However, after waiting for half a month, it was still full of vitality and even continued to grow at an extremely slow rate.

——What on earth is this?

——If it continues to grow, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate it.

Long Bai and Mo Lan collapsed.

There is no other way, just be patient and continue to wait.

Mo Lan stayed and waited.

The affairs of traveling merchants in the spring were left to the full authority of Cedar and Black Persimmon.

Long Bai took the black birch, black leaves, and black leaves and continued to plant cypress trees.

Until early summer,

The planned transplanting work was completed, and Long Bai returned to Fanglan Mountain to check the situation.

Unusually, the God-given cypress fruit did not expand for the tenth time.

Late summer and early autumn,

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain to check the situation.

As soon as the Throne of Ruler entered the land of force, Mo Lan noticed the movement, carried a bag of spider silk, and rushed towards him.

"Dragon cypress! The harvest was successful! During the hottest period of midsummer, the tenth fruit expansion cost a total of 10,000 rough stones."

"Ten thousand?!"

Long Bai's antennae trembled.

"It's weird." Mo Lan muttered, circled down to the throne, opened the spider silk bag, took out the oversized metal box and injected it with the force to open it.

What was placed in the box was a shiny, round brown-yellow seed, about 4 centimeters in diameter, without the force veins of conventional god-given seeds.

The most incredible thing is that this thing has no force fluctuation at all.

It should be noted that during the three-and-a-half-year development process, the fruit expanded 10 times, and more than 20,000 raw stones were consumed to replenish the force. The force drawn from nature must be dozens or hundreds of times. .

Long Bai was dignified and calm in his mind. He put his tentacles on the seeds and sensed them carefully. Inside the seeds, he only sensed a weak, imperceptible but extremely condensed and profound original energy.

——What about the absorbed force?

——Where has it gone?

Long Bai repeatedly sensed it and found only a tiny bit of original energy.

"Long Bai, how are you?"

"It seems...super powers?"

"I also feel that it's a bit like a supernatural system, it seems to be a comprehensive physical aspect."

"Same feeling——"

Long Bai said: "This kind of thing is very strange! However, it can be basically concluded that it is a divine product. It is initially speculated that it gives a comprehensive physical ability."

As a top natural plant that has inherited memory records, a continent is named after it. In addition to its title as the "largest cypress", what is more precious is its strengthening effect.

The strengthening effect of Zhibai is a rare 'immune strengthening'. Specifically, after use, it strengthens the body's resistance to high temperatures of fire, low temperatures of ice and snow, thunder and lightning, and various toxins.

Zhibai should be classified as basic comprehensive physical strengthening.

Yinbai's body shape optimization also belongs to the category of comprehensive physique.

The specific strengthening effect of the offspring produced by the cross between Zhibai and Yinbai may have changed, but it still remains within the circle of comprehensive physical fitness. This is easy to understand.

A strong body is the basis for the evolution of life in the Force, and the basis for the life system, power system, soul system and element system.

As the ant king, Long Bai's comprehensive physique is directly related to the physical fitness and fighting strength of all the soldier ants and worker ants he cultivated.

"--nice one!"

Long Bai slowly injected the force and closed the giant metal box.

Mo Lan: "Long Cypress, this new hybrid cypress species can be officially named."

Long Bai: "Come here."

Mo Lan: "I have discussed it with Xiang Bai. We will name it 'Big King Cypress'. The planting number is Silver Cypress No. 3001. How about it?"

Long Bai: "..."

Isn't this name too ugly?

Long Bai suggested euphemistically: "If you want to highlight the tallness of the tree, it might be better to decorate it with a giant, tall, and crown."

Cymbidium:"???"

Mo Lan: "Your Majesty, is there any difference?"

Long Bai: "There is a difference!"

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, try it. Giant Dragon Cypress, Kuilong Cypress, Silver Crown Cypress, Crown Dragon Cypress, Silver Crown Cypress. Which one do you think is better?"

Mo Lan: "Da Wang Bai!"

Long Bai: "..."

Mo Lanxiao reasoned and said: "Longbai, think about it. There are now three varieties of silver cypress that have been optimized and cultivated: No. 1003, No. 1101, and No. 2001. They all have the opportunity to trigger the natural divine gift and obtain the divine gift. seed."

Mo Lan: "Didn't you say that you want to cultivate the silver cypress tree as the iconic plant of our Pandan Mountain Kingdom? In the long years to come, we will continue to cultivate the 'silver cypress' plant line on a large scale, and we will also encounter The more mutant strains you get, the more God-given seeds you get.”

Mo Lan: "How to name this series of God-given seeds? Big King Cypress, Second King Cypress, Third King Cypress, Fourth King Cypress, and so on. It's very orderly, which is much more convenient than the other messy names you give. "

Have you also learned to think long-term?

You clearly want to rush to name it, but you are unwilling to use your brain.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai was convinced and speechless.
