Astral Ant Tribe

The renovation plan for Xiangsi Island is much simpler.

Long Bai plans to set up three branch nests on the north, east, and west sides of the island, open three wide escape tunnels in the north, east, and west directions, and then connect them with a small number of relatively narrow water veins to open more tunnels on the island. Just a few holes for escape.

Long Bai led the ant colony to work alone.

The peak where the fragrant silk tree takes root is opened as the east branch nest, and an escape tunnel to the east is dug first. The distance is only 5 kilometers short.

After four months, the passage was completed.

Long Bai goes to Shaking Leaf Island.

Cui Bai stood guard on the top of the mountain.

Xun Jing stayed under the rock-leaf iron-core tree planted by the god.

Black Birch directs the ant colony and is busy pruning and shaping the fruit trees on the island.

Hei Hua paused his work and followed Long Bai back to Yunji Continent.

…

Sugarcane rainforest.

Long Bai saw from a distance that his elephant-footed king orchid god-given seed had grown into a big tree more than ten meters high.

It has a single main trunk with no branches. It sheds its leaves continuously during the growth process, and has a large whorled and wide whorled arrow leaves on its head.

The bottom of the trunk swells and grows thick, reaching a diameter of about 1 meter, and shrinks sharply upwards. When the leaves grow at the top, it is only a little over 10 centimeters thick.

A tree-shaped pattern with a lignified trunk, strong toughness, and excellent wind resistance.

"Longbai!"

"Black birch!"

Mo Lan flapped her wings and walked up to him calmly, "Elephant Foot Wang Lan has awakened his soul consciousness. But he's not very friendly. I wanted to use the original stone to help it, but this guy kept getting angry."

"Didn't I tell you? Ignore it."

Long Bai asked: "No accident happened, right?"

Mo Lan: "No, I tried to get closer, but found that it had a very bad temper, so I stayed away from it. I sent a bag of rough stones there, and some smart special chemical worker ants understood what I meant, and took the small and medium-sized worker ants with them in time. Use the original stone."

--That's good.

Long Bai asked: "Is there anything else?"

Mo Lan: "It's okay. I'm almost bored to death staying here alone."

Mo Lan asked: "How is the pregnancy with the seeds given by King Bai Shen?"

Long Bai: "Not very good. This guy is simply a bottomless pit, absorbing raw energy three times as fast as those ordinary god-given seeds in the past, and it has lasted for half a year without any sign of saturation."

Long Bai: "I feel like this thing is not as simple as a god-given seed."

Mo Lan conveyed a confusing mental message and did not understand Long Bai's meaning at all.

Long Bai: "Forget it. I can't tell clearly. Let's gestate it as soon as possible. Sow the seeds and you will know at a glance."

As he spoke, the ruling throne descended and approached the god-given seed of the elephant-footed king orchid.

Furious mental thoughts surged forward.

It is also a God-given seed of the violent gods such as Nanqian and Erlan. It seems that the Elephant Foot King Orchid is more 'herbaceous'.

Mo Lan's body swayed and she ducked away.

Long Bai controlled the throne to stop under the tree, jumped to the ground, and took a closer look. Under the soil, there was a lignified underground stem in the shape of a ball, about 2 meters in diameter.

Soul-fixing ability induction.

The soul of Elephant Foot Wang Lan is hidden in the bulb. It is very arrogant and constantly sends out complex mental thoughts of questioning, interrogating, anger, warning, and threats to Long Bai.

The dragon's cypress tentacles swayed slightly, and the power of prosperity fell.

The mental thoughts of threats and warnings disappear.

Long Bai's tentacles waved again, and another burst of prosperity fell.

The mental power of angry questioning disappeared.

Long Bai's tentacles swung continuously, and two shots of prosperity ability landed in succession.

The god-given seed of Elephant Foot Wanglan sent a spiritual thought of question: Who are you?

"My name is Long Bai. My name is Long Bai."

Long Bai introduced himself, and at the same time, he dropped his prosperity ability, his tentacles swayed, and a water ball was generated, which boiled and turned into water vapor.

The tranquility ability is activated, and the original energy of the wood element combines with the water vapor, turning into a vibrant green mist that envelopes the god-given seed of Elephant Foot King Orchid.

Elephant Foot Wang Lan sent a joyful and exclamatory mental message, "Long Bai is so powerful!"

"It's Black Birch. The name is Black Birch."

Long Bai pointed at Black Birch and introduced.

"Hello Xianglan~" Heihua tried to send a friendly greeting.

Elephant Foot Wang Lan locked onto Hei Hua and directed his mental power and thoughts of questioning, interrogation, anger, warning, and threats at Hei Hua.

Black Birch: "..."

Hei Hua turned his head and looked at Long Bai blankly.

Long Bai: "Black Birch, you go to the ant nest to check first, and then go and see how the Second King's red-leaf rain tree god-given seed is growing."

Black Birch: "Okay. Your Majesty."

Long Bai stayed to communicate with Wang Lan and taught some basic knowledge.

After staying in the Xianlang Rainforest for half a month, until the elephant orchid and black birch were familiar with each other, black birch continued to impart knowledge.

Long Bai and Mo Lan started this year's traveling trade and search for God-given seeds.

Winter has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere.

Long Bai invited Bai Fan to Xiangsi Island to help reinforce the dug escape tunnel, and continued to dig the tunnel to the north until the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere.

…

Before I knew it, it had been Yinbai for 2 years.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom during the trading season.

Lord Snow Velvet arrived as expected, and his powerful spiritual power swept through Long Bai.

"Longbai Ant King, successfully awakened his fire talent? Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Edelweiss Spider King."

"Have you realized the ability of fire?"

"There is one."

"Then you can try the barbecue food."

"I tried it. It sure doesn't taste good."

"Haha. Right?"

After the meeting and greeting, back to business, the Edelweiss Spider King asked: "Longbai Ant King, which series of talents do you plan to awaken in your next age evolution? Are you still short of earth, thunder, and life?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Long Bai: "The thunder element is powerful, I'll awaken the thunder element first."

The Edelweiss Spider King had already expected it, and then asked: "Do you need a divine Lei Zhezi? By coincidence, the new batch of output is about to mature, and it can be delivered the year after next."

Long Bai: "Thank you very much! I'm sorry to trouble the Edelweiss Spider King!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Do you have the God-given seeds?"

Long Bai: "Just in time, I harvested a god-given cypress seed this year."

The Edelweiss Spider King asked casually: "What cypress tree?"

Long Bai's thoughts turned around sharply and he asked: "King Edelweiss Spider, I heard from King Jinna Ant that you gave it the seeds of the Zhibai tree on Hong Island?"

"Yes--"

The edelweiss spider king, who was originally indifferent, condensed and said: "The Jinna ant king is a leaf-cutting ant. Cypress leaves cannot grow bacteria. I think they only planted a few symbolic trees. Could it be that you..."

Long Bai raised his paw and pointed at the bottom of the mountain, saying: "I was curious and asked for some Zhibai seeds, and brought them back to Fanglan Mountain to try to sow seeds. Tropical planting, under the protection of the blue water original energy field, can barely survive, and then, The hybridization between the wise cypress and the silver cypress tree was unexpectedly successful, triggering the natural divine gift and harvesting a divinely gifted seed."

"oh--"

The Edelweiss Spider King said in disbelief: "Cypress trees from the northern and southern hemispheres, tropical and cold temperate zones, can actually hybridize together?"

Long Bai: "It's a fluke! We didn't expect it to happen, it's just luck!"

"This world is really wonderful." The Edelweiss Spider King muttered without thinking too much.

The Edelweiss Spider King has seen countless God-given seeds, seen all kinds of divine products and top-level ones, and has long been indifferent to ordinary God-given seeds.

Long Bai took advantage of the situation and said with emotion: "Edelweiss Spider King, the Zhibai tree you sent to Hongdao is very extraordinary!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Of course. There is a Forbidden Mountain in Phytophaga that specializes in preserving all kinds of top-grade plantings. I got the seeds from there. Traveling merchants do not cultivate. I don't know the details. They are all native species. Flame Spider Warrior Cultivated through countless reincarnations of the Force and countless years, they have all been optimized to the extreme of the astral realm."

Edelweiss Spider King: "The Golden Na Tree, Rainbow Jacaranda and Intelligent Cypress Tree seeds were small gifts I gave to the Golden Na Ant King when I first met them when they broke through the Mountain Lord and Lord levels."

"!!!"

Cypress tentacles are vertical.

Golden tree? Rainbow jacaranda?

Huh!

remember!

Do some more later.

Well, swap!

Top for top.

The edelweiss spider king saw through Long Bai's mind at a glance and warned: "Long Bai ant king, it is best not to spread plant seeds across the continent. Be careful of the lack of natural enemy suppression, flooding, and crowding out the living space of other animals and plants, thus forming Ecological disaster. It’s not that I’m stingy, nor that I’m timid, but once a disaster occurs, it will offend the true god of nature. We, the Tradelace Flame Spider Kingdom, have precedents for such incidents.”

The Edelweiss Spider King added: "There is no problem with isolated islands in the distant sea like Hong Island and Xiangsi Island. Even if they flood, only a few hundred square kilometers of islands will be affected. But on the main continent, it is better to be careful. Especially in this case. It is the Cloud Trail Continent where the Force is silent. Once out of control, it is difficult to extinguish. Think about it, if only a single powerful plant grows on tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, what will be the consequences? Various animals They will lose food and die, which in turn will lead to the death of more plants. The balance of the entire jungle will be broken, and the chain reaction will spread to form a devastating disaster."

Long Bai: "I understand! Thank you so much, King Edelweiss Spider, for your advice."

Longbai has long been concerned about this issue and has carefully thought about it, so it has not dared to introduce a large number of plantings in the southern hemisphere.

Introduce it in small amounts and carefully control it within a certain range.

Not only plants, but also all kinds of small bugs and small animals must be extremely careful. There are no natural enemies across the continent, and it is easy for them to break out and cause ecological disasters.

Long Bai glanced at the back of the Snow Velvet Spider King.

This year, it has four bags of spider silk strapped to its carapace.

Two of them were 'little gifts' for Heliotrope and Heart.

The other two, judging from their outlines, obviously contained items such as metal cans and clay pots.

Edelweiss Spider King: "Divine Grade Jingjie Fruit, one for Baiwei Caravan, and one for Caowei Spider King. There is also a divine Grade Golden Vine Fruit, which Baiwei Caravan came to exchange with me to give me metal talents. Listen. Said it was to help Luo Li in exchange."

The Edelweiss Spider King asked: "Longbai Ant King, are your trading army ready?"

Long Bai: "Of course!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Then let's go! Heliotrope and Hongtao must be waiting impatiently."

…

Hongnan Mountain, Trading Cave.

Hearts and Heliotrope have been waiting for a long time.

Meet and greet.

The edelweiss spider king untied the spider silk rope on his back, first handed the gift forward, and then handed over the spider silk bag containing the divine fruit.

Take advantage of the situation and put the ordinary little flame spider on its back.

"Thank you, Edelweiss Spider King!"

"Thank you, Edelweiss Spider King!"

Hearts and Heliotrope happily thanked them.

Heliotrope also handed over a spider silk bag and said: "Edelweiss Spider King, you need the divine winged gourd!"

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Heliotrope."

The Edelweiss Spider King took it and was filled with joy. He opened it and checked it. His mental power swept through it and he immediately closed the lid again.

Heliotrope and hearts also completed the check quickly.

Confirmed.

The Edelweiss Spider King asked with all his heart: "Heart Tao, Lord Bai Wei has also successfully changed to the divine winged gourd, right?"

Heart: "I got it. I've eaten it, shed its shell and evolved once, and successfully awakened the wind talent."

Edelweiss Spider King: "...Congratulations!"

Hearing about Bai Wei's success, the Edelweiss Spider King became excited. He turned his eyes and asked, "Heliotrope, Yujiu Spider King and the others have nothing to communicate with this year, right?"

Heliotrope: "No——"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I don't have anything to report here. Then let's just... say goodbye!"

The edelweiss spider king turned around and rushed out of the cave in a rage.

"..."

In the cave, there was a moment of choking and speechlessness.

Long Bai asked with concern: "Heliotrope, has Qiye succeeded in breaking through to the king level?"

Heliotrope: "Success!"

Long Bai: "Congratulate Qiye for me."

Heliotrope: "Thank you Long Bai Ant King for your concern."

Long Bai was most concerned about the Caowu Spider King. He paused and asked, "Then the Seven-leaf Spider King should be able to successfully inherit the Caowu Spider King's trading share, right?"

Heliotrope knew what Long Bai was concerned about, and took the initiative to say: "It will take a few years to get used to it. The Caowu Spider King retired but did not quit for the time being. The Seven-leaf Spider King led the caravan to travel, negotiating deals with kingdoms along the way. The Caowu Spider King Walk with the group, but don’t interfere.”

Long Bai: "..."

Heliotrope: "There is also a caravan safety issue. The Caowu Spider King said that the Seven-leaf Spider King has condensed the first divine pattern and initially possesses the fighting power that the Spider King should have, so it can be completely relieved."

It seems that the divine fruit that gives life-type talents will have to wait for several years to be delivered.

Long Bai stopped asking any more questions and gestured with his tentacles, saying: "Hongtao, Heliotrope, let's trade first. Don't let Bai Wei and Qiye wait too long..."

…

Spring deal ends.

Finished handling the affairs on Yunji Continent.

Mo Lan continued to guard the Shuanglang Rainforest.

Long Bai took Hei Hua into Wanglan Continent and started the busy work in the new year.

Time flies by two years.

Silver cypress 4 years,

The escape tunnels leading to the sea on the north, east and west sides of Xiangsi Island are all connected.

The security fortifications have been initially completed, and cypress, black birch, and water chestnut are permanently stationed on the island. Heihua continues to take charge of the underground water vein network and land reclamation work on the ground.

…

Silver cypress 5 years old,

spring.

The divine Lei Zhezi arrived, and Long Bai used it directly.

All the divine seeds and divine fruits required for the 6th-instar lord to evolve to the 7th-instar are in place.

Thanks to the leadership campaign of the Flame Spider Kingdom in the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent, Bai Wei and Luo Li split up, and the share of Force Honey trading soared to 50 million, doubling.

Coupled with the royal honey trade, Long Bai can earn nearly three million yuan in rough stone refining and processing fees every year.

The resources required for evolution are about to be collected: 10 million force food given by the gods of the thunder system; 18 million force food given by the water system god; 2 million force food given by the gods of comprehensive physique, carapace and perception.

But if you want to evolve, there is still a problem. After 4 years, the life sac has not yet conceived the seed given by King Kashiwa God.

This thing has been absorbing the original energy from Long Bai at a high rate. It is really like a bottomless pit, and it can't be filled no matter how much it is filled.

The strange thing is that if Long Bai's body is full of original energy, its absorption rate can be more than ten times that of ordinary god-given seeds.

The most bizarre thing is that when I use my mental power to sense it, I can always only sense a highly condensed bit of original energy in the center of the seed, which is still vaguely visible, as if it is there or not.

——After absorbing so much force, where did it all go?

Long Bai lay on the throne of control and basically didn't move.

For the first time, the function of the Throne of Control to assist in absorbing and restoring the Force cannot keep up with the demand.

The central area of ​​the purple linden country has a high concentration of force. Long Bai always lives in the purple linden country. By the way, he fulfilled his promise and cultivated a group of specialized green ants for the Linnan Sacred Tree...

A year flies by...

Still not working...

In the life bag, the rate at which King Kashiwa's seeds absorb the force has not decreased but has increased, a momentum that has just begun.

Long Bai quickly completed various autumn and winter tasks and continued to stay in the purple linden country.

…

As winter passes and spring comes, silver cypress grows for 6 years.

Spring passes and summer comes, and the cold wind and bleak late autumn come.

In Long Bai's life sac, the rate at which the God-given seeds of King Bai were absorbing the original energy suddenly stopped, and that bit of original energy became clear and full.

——It finally happened.

Long Bai sighed with emotion and called Mo Lan to set off to quickly complete this year's autumn trade and search for God-given seeds.

…

In early winter, all matters are dealt with.

Ant nest in Pandan Mountain.

After Long Bai made simple preparations, he fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Lan personally guarded the entrance of the cave.

Eight days later,

Didn't wake up.

The soul-fixing ability senses that the soul fluctuates smoothly and is still in a deep sleep.

Mo Lan felt strange.

Ten days later, he still hasn’t woken up.

The cave has always maintained a super high rate of force absorption.

Mo Lan guessed that it must be the weird King Bai god-given seed that was causing trouble.

Twelve days later,

Silver cypress, fragrant cedar, and black locust tree panicked first and came together.

Yinbai asked cautiously: "Second King, what is the situation of the King now?"

Mo Lan: "The soul is stable and in a deep sleep. It must be the reason for the god-given seed."

Yinbai: "Then let's..."

Mo Lan: "Don't worry, it's okay. Just wait and see."

Xiangbai: "Second King, I think we can't just wait. The Throne of Control has always maintained a super high rate of absorbing force. Should we use a batch of raw stones?"

Mo Lan: "There is no need to waste it. The force power reserved by the throne of control is more than enough to support the evolution of the king level. But when the force power is consumed, it will automatically replenish it from nature, keeping itself in a full state. The rate at which the throne absorbs the natural force power High, it only means that Long Bai’s evolution is rapidly consuming the Force, and there are no other problems.”

Xiangbai: "Second King, let's..."

Mo Lan: "Why are you panicking? Just wait quietly!"

--knew. Two kings.

Silver cypress, fragrant cedar, and black locust were all left at the entrance of the cave, waiting together.

Three more days and nights,

Long Bai has been sleeping for half a month.

The two kings gradually began to panic.

But there was nothing that could be done to help.

Anxious waiting.

Time flows bit by bit.

After another four days of suffering, violent force fluctuations suddenly erupted in the cave late at night.

The rate at which the Throne of Control absorbs Force power suddenly increases, forming a Force vacuum that spreads rapidly, covering most of the Force land.

In the ant nest, the ants fled.

——It’s over!

——The king is okay!

The ink orchid, silver cypress, fragrant cedar, and black locust tree also ran out of the cave and stayed away.

The violent fluctuations in the force lasted for half the night, and suddenly subsided at dawn.

In the ant nest royal family, on the ruling throne, Long Bai woke up leisurely.

He sensed something was wrong at the first moment, his body was weak and his physical energy was almost exhausted.

——How long have you been sleeping?

——I have always insisted on strengthening my comprehensive physical fitness.

Long Bai pondered and worked hard to shed the old carapace, and the new carapace hardened quickly.

He took the metal can that was kept aside and quickly emptied the can of ant honey to regain some physical energy.

The mental power senses itself, and I feel slightly happy.

As expected, the lightning talent was successfully awakened this time!

Long Bai changed his mind and swept his mental energy outside the cave.

"???"

"Where's Mo Lan?"

"Where's my ant colony?"

"What are you doing?"

"problem occurs?"

Long Bai changed his mind and activated his soul-fixing ability induction.

In the mountains, towards the Shanxi reservoir, silver cypress, fragrant cedar, and black locust are flying back towards the ant nest with the ant colony.

Mo Lan's figure flashed forward, she had entered the ant nest and was heading towards the royal family.

——Something must have happened.

——Is it related to my evolution?

Long Bai thought for a while, then jumped to the ground and walked out of the ant nest without much thought.
