Astral Ant Tribe

The Edelweiss Spider King said goodbye and left.

Long Bai completed the deal with Hong Tao and Heliotrope for god-given force food.

Leave the remaining work to cedar and black locust.

Lone Cypress began shipping rough stones to Citi Hill.

As in previous years,

The transaction is completed and the rough stone transportation is completed simultaneously.

What follows is the search for the God-given seed...

…

Purple linden country.

Before the throne of rulership entered the land of force, Mo Lan fluttered his wings and took off, swooping down to the dense forest below to start this year's investigation work.

Long Bai slowly lowered his flight altitude and slowly drove towards the center of the Land of Force.

After the winter party last year, Bai Zian stayed behind. It wanted to play with the mulberry and wisteria, and we made an appointment to send it back to the mountain this spring.

Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability to sense and search.

The three guys, the white thorns, the cypresses, and the vines, are not in the central area, and they seem to be cultivating cypress trees in a nursery.

The work of planting and nurturing seedlings of silver cypress trees has never been interrupted.

In the four places of origin, Purple Tilia Country, Xianglan Mountain, Bailian Lake, and Nanzizao Mountain, a large number of seeds are collected every year. Seeds are exchanged in various places, sown in nurseries, seedlings are selected and raised, and the relatively weak cypress trees in the replacement forest are constantly eliminated. .

Juniper and black persimmon direct the ant colony and are busy eliminating weak seedlings in the nursery.

The three guys, Bai Xian, Zitaluo and Tengluo, followed Jucypress and wandered around the nursery, checking for mutant strains.

"Longbai Ant King!"

"Longbai Ant King, you are here."

…

When the ruler's throne landed, everyone came up to greet him.

Jubai raised his paw to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "Longbai Ant King, Jubai and I discussed that we believe that Yinbai No. 1004 and Yinbai No. 1101 are optimized enough, and can be iterated into Yinbai No. 1005 and Yinbai No. 1102, and Begin to promote it on a large scale in the purple linden country."

"OK--"

Long Bai didn't think much and agreed directly, leading the way and inspecting the specific conditions of each nursery.

The silver cypress saplings No. 1004 cultivated in the No. 54 nursery are growing well overall.

The half-sized saplings that were sown last year and screened for the last time this spring are ready for transplanting. The branches look quite strong, almost as big as normal silver cypress saplings.

"This land is nice!"

Long Bai praised and pointed out: "The saplings on this land can be numbered as Yinbai No. 1005."

Jubai immediately reported: "Longbai Ant King, the seeds in nurseries No. 50 to 55 are all collected and sent from Nanzizao Mountain."

Heiti has been fully responsible for the South Jujube Mountain. At the same time, he has also planted many silver cypress trees in Heilian Lake, operating both ends.

"knew!"

Long Bai warned: "Jiunbai, please keep a record. Also remember the origin of the optimized seeds. If a god-given seed is born in the future, we will reward you based on your merits."

Junbai: "Don't worry, Longbai Ant King!"

Junbai raised his paw and pointed far away, saying: "Longbai Ant King, on the top of the mountain over there, in the nursery fields No. 70 to 80, the Yinbai No. 1101 seedlings I selected and cultivated have also met the iteration requirements."

Long Bai: "Let's take a look."

The group walked along the ant trail, climbed over the hill, and came to the nursery on the other side.

It is also a half-sized cypress seedling that has grown for one year, but the juniper-selected Yinbai No. 1101 seedling is obviously worse.

After careful inspection, Long Bai agreed to upgrade to No. 1102.

Jue Bai is the one with the calmest personality and the most meticulous and serious work among all the princes, but his luck has not been very good, and it is always his turn to be rewarded in terms of merit...

"Junier cypress, you select a batch of cypress No. 1102 seeds, send them back to Pandan Mountain for sowing, and then cross them with the wise cypress trees later. Maybe there will be new harvests."

Long Bai pointed out.

"I know. Long Bai Ant King."

Jue Bai agreed.

Continue to check out the status of Yinbai sapling No. 2001. After years of selective breeding, this mutant has not shown any significant improvement, so let’s ignore it for the time being.

In addition, there are 5 separate nursery plots, which are sown with cypress seedlings numbered Yinbai No. 3001, which are hybrids of Zhibai and Yinbai No. 1101.

Sapiens is a tropical plant.

Due to the Zhibai bloodline, this hybrid cypress has poor cold tolerance.

According to the test, Yinbai 3001 can grow very well when sown in Heilian Lake and South Ziziphus Mountain in the south; if it is sown on the north side of Pandan Mountain, it will suffer from frostbite in winter; in some areas in the north, it will be frozen to death by winter snowfall.

Purple Linden Country, Xianglan Mountain, and Bailian Lake are all trying to select cold-resistant cypress No. 3001 cypress seedlings.

The screening method is simple and crude. After sowing in spring, after a cold winter, those who survive can be preliminarily determined to have anti-freeze blood...

…

Long Bai led the group to inspect the nursery.

Juniper, black persimmon, and giant cypress continue to work.

"Bai Zian, it's the end of spring soon. Do you have any plans to go back to Heiguoshan?"

"It's time to go back..."

Bai Zian was reluctant to leave and asked: "Longbai Ant King, are you leaving tomorrow morning?"

"……OK!"

"Then you go shopping with me."

The dragon cypress shook its tentacles and led the white cypress, tarantula, and wisteria to continue wandering around the cypress forest to check the growth of various silver cypress trees that had been planted before.

No problem found.

Wandering around again for most of the day, at dusk, I wandered into the central area of ​​the Land of Force.

The ferocious mental power of Lin Nan's sacred tree came over and aimed at Teng Luo.

Tengluo quickly explained: "I originally planned to come back for exercise at noon. King Longbai Ant came and asked me to accompany it to patrol its territory, so I..."

The cold mental power deflected and locked onto Long Bai.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, please stop being sulky. We are trapped in a small place of the Force, and life is quite boring. I took Tengluo and the others around and told them interesting things that happened in various continents last year. They were active. Let go of everyone’s depressing mood.”

The spiritual power of Jinhe's god-given seed immediately came over and asked: "Then what interesting things happened last year?"

Nothing interesting~

Long Bai: "The Shanko Ant King and the Red Maple Dragon King of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan left the Force Star Realm first. The successor leaders have been confirmed, and one of them was selected from the Fish Cutter Ant Kingdom..."

Linnan Sacred Tree; "Fish Leaf Cutter Ant?"

Tengluo explained helpfully: "A powerful ant tribe that can also awaken the water talent, is good at water fighting, and feeds on plant fungi, and has a very high upper limit for soldier ants..."

Long Bai led the way, chatting while walking, and came to the foot of the sacred tree in Linnan.

Spruce and juniper came rushing over.

The mental power of Huaqi, Yexiang, and Zilin quietly came forward.

Juniper was in high spirits and eager to try, "My lord, are you planning to attack Blue Island?"

Crackling~

Long Bai waved his tentacles, and in response to Juniper was a brand new whip with electric light, "Why did the Shanke Ant King retire sadly? In the last battle, it killed three kings. Are you tired of living?"

Juniper was full of confidence: "That's because they are not strong enough!"

The response was three whips that crackled and flashed with lightning.

Long Bai said sternly: "War is the last resort to resolve disputes. Taking the initiative to get involved in war is an extremely stupid act."

Linnan Sacred Tree asked: "Ant, you don't plan to get involved?"

Long Bai: "It's too late to hide in such a fatal matter, so who would take the initiative to get involved?"

Lin Nan Shenshu: "Then you are concerned about the change of leaders in Boshu Bay?"

Long Bai: "I am already a 7th-year-old lord. It's time to seriously consider moving to Wanglan Continent after becoming a king."

Long Bai: "First of all, there is the issue of identity. There is already a solution. Just claim to be born on Hong Island and develop on Xiangsi Island and Yaoye Island. According to my observation, the Edelweiss Spider King has a peaceful personality and is easier to talk to. Please ask him for help. Testify and your identity will not be questioned.”

Long Bai: "The most ideal destination for migration is definitely the Thousand Reef Islands. The temperate and tropical areas are suitable for various types of plants from the northern and southern continents to take root, and are the best places to settle down. It is located in the sea on the east side of the mainland, with the wave trees The bay and the Blue Island battlefield are separated by an entire continent, far away from the disputes on the mainland. There are no particularly strong and warlike kingdoms around. I rely on the island to build fortifications. I am not afraid of anyone and my safety is guaranteed."

"But the idea of ​​forcibly landing on the island and seizing it is no longer feasible. The Nasen Wasp Kingdom has close ties with the United Kingdom of Boshuwan and cannot use force."

"If you can't preempt them, then you can only change your mind and join them. I have sufficient capital. If I propose to join, there is no reason why I will be rejected."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Join them? Become a member of the Boshuwan Kingdom Alliance? Then don't you still have to participate in the war?"

Long Bai: "I am too far away from the battlefield, so I will not directly participate in the war. I can be responsible for the logistics. The blue soldiers hunt in the ocean, and the blue ants refine it into high-purity concentrated food that is easy to can and transport. I provide them with strong and powerful food." The logistical food security. For this reason alone, there is no reason to be rejected.”

Lin Nan's sacred tree looked down upon him: "You ant is unhappy..."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree's words stopped abruptly.

The Citizen Sacred Tree said leisurely: "War is not a joke. It brings destruction and death, pain and hatred. Long Bai Ant King is right, war is always the last choice with no retreat."

Citizen Tree: "Longbai Ant King has a good idea. As an independent kingdom, he joins the Boshuwan Kingdom Alliance to obtain land for survival and security. He is far away from the main battlefield and does not have the risk of being involved in a war. He kills two birds with one stone."

The Citizen Sacred Tree paused, pondered, and suddenly changed his tone and said: "Longbai Ant King, sometimes it doesn't hurt to be a little bolder. In fact, you have the ability to destroy Lan Island and end the war that has lasted for thousands of years on Wanglan Continent. .The method is also very simple, the key point lies in food.”

Citizen Sacred Tree: "At regular times and rations every year, catch fish from the ocean, refine and store it. Accumulate it for a hundred, two hundred, or more years, and then release this food, organize the ant queens and queens of the many ant clans and bee clans, and do it all at once Breed over 100 million combat soldier ants and worker bees. Launched the insect sea tactic and flooded Blue Island."

Citi Sacred Tree: "How to preserve food for more than a hundred years? This can be learned from the metal cabinets used for storage in Citi Mountain Treasure House. The first point is to completely isolate it from the air. Any food, including refined food, will definitely deteriorate if it is exposed to the air for a long time. Deterioration; the second point is ultra-low temperature freezing. In normal temperature environment, sealed food will also spoil, so it must be kept at low temperature."

Citizen Tree: "Of course, the most important thing is the refining ability of your blue ants."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "This is the general idea. You don't need me to tell you more, right?"

Long Bai looked solemn and shook his tentacles.

Long Bai kept shaking his tentacles and said: "The insects in Wanglan Continent are not all united. This matter is too big and will definitely cause all kinds of troubles. At least I will have to wait until I am the fourth-instar insect king before I can raise it."

Long Bai: "So, if I join the Bo Shuwan Kingdom Alliance as I wish, the refined food provided to them will not be very storable. I have to think about it, add some ingredients, and control it within two to three years. Corruption is the most suitable.”

Citizen Sacred Tree: "...Clear thinking."

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Ant, since you have already started planning the migration of the evolved king level. Then you should have already planned for the king level to condense the divine patterns, right?"

Long Bai: "It started a long time ago. At the lord level, in addition to the necessary strengthening, I mainly use the water-type god-given force food. I plan to spend 100 million raw stones to enhance the water-type ability to the extreme."

Long Bai: "Promoted to the king level and took the lead in condensing the water system divine patterns to adapt to survival and fighting on the sea. The wind system is second, the thunder system is the second, fire, wood, earth, metal, and life are the third. I am a natural talent of the power system. , strength comes last.”

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Is it still the same trick Quandong taught you? It is a farmer and doesn't know how to fight at all."

Long Bai: "...Yes."

Long Bai asked back: "Linnan Sacred Tree, is there any problem?"

Lin Nan Shenshu: "There is no problem. However, some things may sound simple, but they may not be so in practice."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "But there is no need for you to be downcast now. You ant has a flexible mind. You can give it a try. Maybe it will work."

Long Bai: "???"

Where am I downcast?

Long Bai: "Don't worry, Linnan Sacred Tree, I'm full of confidence!"

Lin Nan Shenshu: "Brainless self-confidence is often the beginning of tragedy."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai politely said: "Please ask the Linnan Sacred Tree for advice."

Lin Nan Shenshu asked: "Which abilities of the water system do you plan to use to condense the divine patterns?"

Long Bai: "Create water, freeze, and control water. The combination forms an ice-creating ability that condenses divine patterns."

Long Bai: "Create water, boil it, control water, combine to form a fog-making ability, condense divine patterns."

Long Bai: "The third ability is yet to be determined. I have a hunch that the refining ability has a lot to offer. The details will only be known after evolving to the king level."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "If I remember correctly, ice-making and fog-making were the examples I gave you before?"

Long Bai: "Yes——"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "That's just a simple example I gave you to make it easier for you to understand. The actual situation is much more complicated than this."

Long Bai: "..."

squeak~chirp~

Tengluo couldn't hold it back and laughed.

Long Bai waved his tentacles, cracked the whip on Teng Luo's head, and scolded: "Be serious!"

Long Bai: "Please also ask the Linnan Sacred Tree for advice."

Lin Nan's sacred tree was furious, "Ant, try bullying the little vine again!"

The Citizen Sacred Tree was impatient and scolded: "Okay. Just talk about things. Lin Nan, you talk too much. You can explain things clearly in just a few sentences, but you have been talking for a long time without getting to the point. .”

Citizen Sacred Tree: "About the sacred patterns, including spruce, wisteria, white thorn, cypress, and ant juniper, you can all listen to it. You will definitely use it in the future. Lin Nan, stop talking nonsense and just talk directly. Points.”

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Okay——"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "First of all, you must understand what the divine pattern is? To put it simply, it can be regarded as a divine creation that enhances strength. Just like the extraterrestrial civilization uses various materials to create various items, the divine pattern is a A creature created by divine power. To be more specific, based on the abilities comprehended by the Zerg warriors, a corresponding divine pattern is created, imprinted on the carapace, and deeply embedded in the blood, never fading."

"The specific effects of divine patterns vary depending on abilities. In summary, it is the optimization and strengthening of abilities. For a simple example, if it is an ability that consumes a particularly huge amount of original energy, the role of divine patterns may be to reduce the consumption of original energy; if the ability requires If it is brewed and released too slowly, the function of the divine pattern may be to accelerate the release of the ability; if it has combat ability but insufficient power, the function of the divine pattern may be to increase the power."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "As for the ability to condense divine patterns... Every Zerg warrior's situation is different, and the specific abilities are not definite. You can use your imagination according to your own situation. Any ability... I will give a simple example, even if It is a single water-making ability that can be strengthened to the extreme. It can also trigger divine gifts and condense divine patterns."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "The specific process is divided into three steps. The first step is to confirm the ability and master it skillfully... Ant, can you perform 'Ice Creation' continuously now?"

"Let me try--"

As Long Bai spoke, his left tentacle swung, and a piece of ice in the shape of a Kunlan tree leaf instantly formed.

Long Bai waved his right tentacle, and an ice cube that looked like a katydid formed and hit Teng Luo's head with a clang.

Lin Nan Sacred Tree praised: "Not bad! It can be seen that you have practiced your water-making ability a lot. The first step is to confirm the ability and master it proficiently. You have barely reached the standard."

"The second step is to strengthen the ultimate. There are two methods. The first, the simplest way is to strengthen the force food. The more common choice is the force food that comprehensively strengthens the water system ability. The better option is to specifically strengthen the freezing ability. , the ability to create water, and the ability to control water, the food will make up for whatever it lacks."

"Let's talk about the second way to enhance your ability to the extreme. Train hard and adjust yourself to continuously improve your ability and power. This method is slow but essential. A truly powerful Zerg warrior never relies on eating, but exercising."

"The third step of condensing divine patterns is also the most difficult step, enlightenment. To put it bluntly, to understand, understand, become familiar with and deeply understand the structure of abilities and the corresponding nature of the original energy, and to have a profound understanding of abilities that goes deep into the blood. This step , you need to move and practice your abilities repeatedly, but you also need to calm down, review and review, and ponder and understand with your heart. Repeat until you reach the target, trigger the law of divine power, and condense the divine patterns."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "To condense the divine patterns, a single water-making ability can be used, but the third step will be very difficult and almost impossible to achieve. The ice-making ability is composed of a combination of three abilities: water-making, freezing, and water control. But if the structure is too simple, it will be extremely difficult.”

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "For abilities with a simple structure and easy to master, it will be relatively difficult to trigger the divine gift to condense the divine patterns in the third step. On the contrary, abilities with a complex structure and extremely difficult to master are relatively easier to be recognized by the laws of nature. Trigger the divine gift and condense the divine patterns."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "The core concept of the natural divine system is balance. The difficulty of condensing the divine patterns is fixed at a balanced position."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Different insects have different ways of condensing divine patterns. They are simple-minded, but sensitive to the Force. Worms with good original talent can be simpler. Flexible-minded, but slow to the Force, If your original talent is not very good, you can give full play to your mental advantages, try to build complex abilities, shift the difficulty to the first and second steps, and then reduce the difficulty of the third step."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "If it's the water system, we at Citi Mountain have ready-made ones for reference. For example, in 'Frostfall', you use the four basic abilities of water creation, water control, boiling, and freezing to form extremely fine ice particles, forming Extremely cold currents can recreate 'Frostfall'."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, I understand the general idea of ​​what you said. But how does the 'Frost Descent' ability operate?"

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Have you noticed the mist flowing in the mountains in the early morning? Have you seen the cold wave in winter in the north? A combination of two natural phenomena."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "The principle is very simple. Create water, control water, boil, and create water vapor. The freezing ability atomizes this water into fine and extremely cold ice crystals, and then controls their flow to attack the target."

——It’s not complicated, right?

Long Bai: "I understand!"

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Try it."

Long Bai flapped his wings and jumped away. His two tentacles moved up and down, swinging left and right. A string of water droplets was generated, and at the same time it sublimated into a large white mist hovering above his head.

The freezing ability is activated, and Bai Wu is given a layer of icy power.

Long Bai's thoughts turned, his tentacles swayed lightly, and the cold white mist floated gently.

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, is this what it means?"

Lin Nan Shenshu: "Yes, the general idea is this. Practice diligently, combine the entire set of actions into one action, and make it as instant as possible. There are three other key points. First, the scale must be large. Such a small group is not enough. Frostfall is a ranged attack ability, and the range of the ability should be consistent with the range of mental power; secondly, the ice crystals must be small enough. Water vapor and ice crystals will naturally fall and settle, hence the name "Frostfall". During the actual battle, it must be controlled in reverse It continues to float, forming a 'frost drop' area that cannot be touched. The smaller it is, the slower the falling speed is; thirdly, the basic freezing ability must be strong enough. This is the key to the power of 'frost drop'."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Use the essentials. Once you hit the target, immediately mobilize the surrounding ice fog to adhere to it and freeze the target instantly. This process is also called 'frost descent'."

Long Bai: "I roughly understand."

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, the 'Frost Descent' ability you mentioned should be the most basic structure, right? If there are other compatible abilities, they can be added to further enhance its power. For example, Senior Shan Indigo's Frost'?"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "That's right! It varies from insect to insect, and can be flexibly adapted according to one's own conditions. Frost Sky is based on frost, adding the ability to move clouds, floating high in the sky, forming a force that blocks the sky and the sun, and falls from the sky."

Lin Nan Shenshu: "But remember, don't add indiscriminately, and don't blindly pursue the complexity of the structure. It must be consistent and have substantial improvement, otherwise it will be counterproductive."

Long Bai: "I understand. Thanks for the advice!"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "You can start practicing now. First, complete the first and second steps of condensing the frost descending divine pattern. In the future, you will evolve to the king level and learn new water abilities. Then, depending on the situation, you can improve it and condense it as quickly as possible. The first divine mark appears."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "For the water divine pattern, you can also learn from Citizen Mountain's 'Frost Thorn' and combine it with the ready-made 'Hydrological Shield' to form a defensive capability."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "The authentic 'Frost Thorn Ability' is given by the divine fruit produced by the Frost Birch Sacred Tree. It has the characteristics of being thin, light and indestructible. You can use water creation and freezing ability to imitate it, but the defense The effect is definitely almost non-existent. Integrating it into the hydrological shield gives it defensive properties."

Long Bai immediately activated his water-generating ability, and a thin film of water covered his entire body.

When the freezing ability is activated, the water film turns into ice crystals and adheres to the body surface.

The hydrological shield is activated, and the white ice crystals turn into light blue.

Lin Nan Divine Tree gave a rare compliment: "It's very good! You, an ant, know everything at once. You can practice it first, see the situation in the future, and then integrate other abilities to strengthen it."

Long Bai: "Okay!"

Long Bai: "Linnan Sacred Tree, I have also learned a new water defense ability. Please help me take a look."

After saying that, with a thought, the water-making ability was activated, and then, the disillusionment reflection ability was activated.

Six sides of smooth and discernible thin ice stand all over the body.

Lin Nan's sacred tree's spiritual power swept past it, and he was stunned, then swept it back and examined it carefully. A bright silver tentacle came out of the ground and gently pierced one of the thin ice.

The thin ice cracked and shattered.

"interesting!"

Lin Nan Shen Shu praised: "Is this the ability you have realized on your own? It's very clever!"

Long Bai: "This is a brand new water ability that I learned at the 7th age of evolution. Linnan Sacred Tree, do you think it can be combined with the frost thorn ability?"

silence……

Lin Nan Sacred Tree thought for a long time and said: "It's possible, but it will be extremely difficult. It is recommended that you combine it with the 'hydrological shield' first, and then try it after you are proficient."

Long Bai: "Okay!"

Long Bai said: "At the lord level, I will first practice the two basic abilities of Frostfall and Frostthorn, master them skillfully, and strengthen them to the extreme."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "That's right!"

Lin Nan Shenshu: "It's okay, let's all disperse. You stay here, Tengluo, and make up for the training you missed in the afternoon."

The Citizen Sacred Tree reminded: "Long Cypress Ant King, Citizen Mountain's experience can only be used as a reference. In the process of practice, you should constantly adjust and adapt according to your own situation until you are satisfied and smooth."

"I understand! Many thanks to the Citizen Sacred Tree and the Linnan Sacred Tree for their guidance!"

Long Bai helped teach him a lesson: "Tengluo, you've been playing all day, why don't you hurry up and get training!" (End of Chapter)
