Astral Ant Tribe

…

After completing the spring business transaction, Long Bai embarked on Mo Lan and began this year's search for the God-given seeds in Yunji Continent.

Wandering to the purple linden country.

Mo Lan went straight into the jungle to search.

Long Bai went straight to the Citizen Sacred Tree.

"The Citizen Sacred Tree!"

"Linnan Sacred Tree!"

"Night fragrance, purple linden, golden helix."

"Spruce..."

Long Bai greeted each other in turn, and the ruling throne rested under the tree.

Linnan Sacred Tree asked: "Ant, what's the matter?"

You can tell by looking at the posture that something important is going on.

Long Bai did not answer directly and pondered for two seconds before saying: "Over there in the southern hemisphere, the Kingdom of Phytophthora Flame Spider offered to send away King Jinna Ant of Hongdao and let me take over. They intended to support me in joining the Boshuwan Kingdom Alliance and encouraged me to do so. I'm going to deal with the blue island stone hunting blue ants. Mainly the edelweiss spider king, which takes a fancy to the future potential of me and Mo Lan."

Linnan Sacred Tree commented unceremoniously: "The potential of ants is average, but the potential of mantises is really good."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "What the Edelweiss Spider King values ​​​​is the ant clan's war potential of the Longbai series."

Lin Nan's sacred tree said disdainfully: "What war potential do ants have? The ruling throne has such a pitiful rate of producing ant eggs that even 10,000 specialized green ants cannot be cultivated. Faced with both sides having tens of millions of troops, What’s the use of a big battlefield?”

Yexiang agreed: "According to my observation, even if ants evolve into the 7th instar insect king, the number of ant eggs produced by the ruling throne in each batch is still only 18, and the cycle is as long as 4 days. This is different from the normal female ant queen. It’s not in the same order of magnitude at all, and it’s not comparable to termite queens who lay thousands of eggs every day...”

Citizen Sacred Tree: "It is a creation of the God of Nature, which gives the ants, bees and termites the racial ability. In essence, it is a life ability, unique to females."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "Have you forgotten? The flame spider caravan on the Ten Thousand Races Continent can also deliver divine fruits that give life talents."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "Although the number of ant eggs produced in each batch is fixed when the Dominion Throne is manufactured and cannot be increased, the production rate should be increased and should be related to the vitality."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "It takes one or two hundred years to prepare. If we can raise an army of two to three hundred thousand specialized blue soldiers, it will definitely play a vital role on the battlefield."

"..."

silence.

Is it more than two or three hundred thousand?

Not much, right?

Long Bai: "City God Tree, I came to you mainly to inform you about this matter. The original plan to move to Wanglan Continent has been slightly changed. Since the Flame Spider Traveler has taken the initiative, we can consider taking advantage of the opportunity to occupy Hongdao. , obtain an identity that can be recognized by Wang Lan Dalu."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "Of course there is no problem. At present, occupying Hongdao only has many advantages and no disadvantages."

The Citizen Sacred Tree asked: "What about the Thousand Reef Islands?"

Long Bai: "The Edelweiss Spider King also proposed that after joining the Bo Shuwan Kingdom Alliance, he would carve out a territory for me from Bo Shuwan. But I think it is completely unnecessary. First, the territory currently controlled, The God-given seeds produced have been able to maintain the normal growth and evolution of Mo Lan and I. Our thirst for land is not that strong; secondly, Boshuwan is a land of disputes, and there are intricate forces within the Boshuwan Kingdom Alliance. There are disputes over interests, and there is also a fierce war with Blue Island that happens every thirty years, so it is not a good place to settle down.”

Long Bai: "So, I think Thousand Reef Islands is better. We can allocate a piece of land from Boshu Bay, and then exchange it with Senwase Kingdom for Thousand Reef Islands. We can combine the five offshore islands currently controlled by Senwase Kingdom. Change the islands."

The original plan was to pay some god-given force food or even god-grade fruits in exchange for the distant sea territory of the Thousand Reef Islands.

If we can exchange land in this way, that would of course be the best.

The Citizen Sacred Tree thought for a while and said: "Very rational thinking and wise choice. I can't come up with a good idea on this matter. The key lies in the Edelweiss Spider King, who needs his mediation."

Citizen Tree: "I have a little suggestion..."

Citizen Sacred Tree: "It is inconvenient for the flame spider merchants to directly participate in the war. I guess that the edelweiss spider king will ask the holy butterfly tribe for help. Longbai Ant King, if you want to establish a foothold in the southern hemisphere, your best choice It is to establish a good relationship with the Holy Butterfly Tribe and form an offensive and defensive alliance."

"You and the Holy Butterfly Tribe are also the easiest to form an alliance with. First, in the last war, the siege to capture the Scepter of the God of the Sea failed miserably. The Holy Butterfly Tribe also urgently needs strong allies like you and Mo Lan; second, the Holy Butterfly Tribe is in desperate need of powerful allies like you and Mo Lan. You are from Zhibai Continent, and you are not native to Wanglan Continent. And you and Mo Lan, even if you clear your identity, are still island bugs far away from Wanglan Continent. You have something in common in your origins; thirdly, your interests are the same Yes, and there is no major conflict. Uncovering the cover of hypocrisy, the main purpose of the Holy Butterfly Tribe is to snatch the scepter of the God of the Ocean. You should be doing it for the wild god-given seeds on the island."

Long Bai: "...for justice."

Long Bai's eyes sparkled, he touched his tentacles and said, "I understand! Thank you to the Citizen Sacred Tree for your guidance!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Longbai Ant King!"

Four guys, Juniper, Vinea, Tarantula, and Five-leaf, ran over together.

Juniper rushed forward and came to Longbai first.

"Your Majesty, good news! The juniper cypresses finally selected a juniper cypress No. 1005 with particularly strong seedlings. It is located in the south, in the nursery No. 14!"

Long Bai: "Exceptionally strong?"

Juniper: "It still retains the characteristics of flat leaves, but the trunk and branches are almost as thick as the native silver cypress."

In this way, it can be regarded as a leap forward.

Long Bai: "The Citizen Sacred Tree, I'll go to the nursery to take a look first! Linnan Sacred Tree, Jin He, Night Fragrance, and Purple Linden, we'll talk later."

Long Bai said a brief farewell, led a group of insects, and hurried to Nursery No. 14 to check the situation.

…

In the nursery, a cypress sapling stands proudly alone.

The height is about 1.5 meters. It should have been sown last year and it grows relatively quickly.

Jucypress leads a large group of soldier ants, blue soldiers, and green soldiers to guard the nursery.

"Your Majesty!"

Jubai stepped forward to greet him and said happily: "Your Majesty, the mutant strain of Yinbai No. 1005 has no other changes, except that the plant as a whole is stronger. According to past experience, there is a high probability that it can trigger the gift of nature and obtain A god-given seed. The strengthening effect will probably not change qualitatively."

"good!"

Long Bai stepped forward quickly, inspected it closely, connected his tentacles, and asked: "Giant cypress, who discovered it? Is it you again?"

Jubai: "Yes. Your Majesty. It's me again."

Every time a mutant strain appears, it is discovered by Jucypress.

Every time he harvests God-given seeds, Jucypress will receive high rewards.

Jubai himself felt a little embarrassed.

Long Bai: "The original Yin Bai No. 1001 was also discovered by Ju Bai."

Jubai: "That's right. Your Majesty. It's me."

Long Bai: "Yinbai No. 1005 was bred from Heiti?"

Jubai: "Yes."

Long Bai: "Once a god-given seed is bred, it must be top-notch. Ju Cypress, you will be the first to be rewarded with 1 million, followed by juniper, black grape, and black persimmon, with 600,000 rewards. The rewards of other kings will be increased, and each reward will be 600,000. 400000."

"Your Majesty is generous!"

Juniper cheered first.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jubai is relatively calm. He has received awards many times and doesn’t feel much anymore.

Long Bai asked: "Are Juniper and Black Persimmon busy elsewhere?"

Jucypress: "Nursery No. 55."

Juniper immediately raised his paw, "Your Majesty, I'll tell them to come over."

Long Bai: "No need to bother."

Long Bai: "This tree is temporarily numbered as Silver Cypress No. 1006. After confirming that there are no other changes, it will be finalized."

Long Bai: "Wengluo, use your earth ability to help and dig it out carefully. I will send it back to Fanglan Mountain overnight and leave it to Zhan Lan for processing."

Long Bai: "Juniper, giant cypress, you will see the two kings later, just let them know."

Juniper: "Okay, my lord!"

Tengluo: "Oh——"

…

…

…

The mother plant of Yinbai No. 1006 was sent back to Xianglan Mountain.

Zhanlan collected leaf buds and used bud culture technology to quickly cultivate thousands of seedlings, taking the lead in small-scale cultivation in Xianglan Mountain.

The mother plant must also be well protected. If you are lucky, the flowering in the spring of the following year will trigger the divine gift. The divine gift seed of the third-instar lord of Molan evolution will be available.

…

Late spring and early summer.

Long Bai and Mo Lan quickly completed all the search work for the God-given seeds, and there was nothing to do for the next four months.

He lives in the Tangerine Rainforest, taking care of the Split-leaf King Orchid. At the same time, he also always pays attention to the changes in the God-given King Cypress seeds.

Long Bai opened up a flat square dedicated to practicing abilities at the edge of the Land of Force.

Long Cypress repeatedly practices frost and frost thorns.

Molan's elemental talent is much higher than that of Long Bai. Without much practice, he can easily master the water-making ability. According to the instructions of the Linnan Sacred Tree, I practiced Youlian Walking hard, followed by corrosive wind, air compression, and the 'sand transformation' ability of the earth and wind dual systems that I learned last time.

Another year has passed.

The King Kashiwa God-given seed has no abnormal performance. It costs a fixed monthly cost of 50,000 raw stones, an annual consumption of 600,000, and the height of the tree exceeds 150 meters.

The soul is extremely powerful, and the radius of the spiritual power covers more than 2,000 meters.

At the end of winter, Longbai still shipped 600,000 yuan to replenish the nest stock in case of emergency.

…

Winter passes and spring comes.

Silver cypress 19 years old.

The edelweiss spider king arrived on time.

After the meet and greet,

Long Bai took the initiative and said: "King Edelweiss Spider, I have repeatedly discussed and studied with Mo Lan and his subordinate King Zuo, and I feel that your proposal has certain feasibility. Our Xianglan Mountain Kingdom has indeed overturned the situation in Wanglan Continent and destroyed Lan Lan. The potential of the island.”

Edelweiss Spider King: "Does that mean you agreed to the proposal of the Phytophthora Flame Spider Kingdom?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Long Bai: "However, we have a little request, or in other words, we have a way to capture Blue Island."

"How to capture Blue Island?"

The Edelweiss Spider King was solemn and upright, "Longbai Ant King, tell me."

Long Bai: "Let's talk about our method first. The general idea is very simple. Specialized blue soldiers fish in the ocean, refine blue ants, use earth ability to create porcelain jars to seal, and then dig an ice cellar underground. Specialized blue soldiers use freezing ability to maintain Ultra-low temperature. Under low temperature and sealed state, refined food should be preserved for more than 100 years."

Long Bai: "It took 100 years or more to accumulate food, and then we selected 150 to 200 ant queens and bee queens from the United Kingdom of Bo Shuwan. In 30 years, we cultivated over 100 million ant queens and bee queens in one go. The soldier ants and combat worker bees, with their absolute numerical superiority, worked together to capture Blue Island."

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Can your refined food be preserved for more than 100 years? Force ant honey is encapsulated in royal jelly, so the shelf life is only three to five years, right?"

Long Bai emphasized again: "Ultra-low temperature, frozen and sealed environment."

Long Bai: "We at Pandan Mountain have been studying food storage issues. Relatively speaking, ordinary food is easier to preserve than Force food. If a certain amount of high-sweetness food is mixed with refined meat, coupled with sealing and In a low-temperature environment, it can indeed be stored for a long, long time.”

Long Bai: "Furthermore, by evolving to the king level, I should be able to comprehend the 'refining' ability in its complete state. Perhaps, the blue ants cultivated will also be qualitatively improved."

Long Bai waved his tentacles.

Black Sophora understood and opened the medium-sized spider silk bag in his claws. Inside was a bag of ordinary dried green torreya fruits.

Black Sophora japonica was concentrating for a moment, and a water ball with a diameter of twenty to thirty centimeters was formed between the two tentacles. With a crash, it rolled past and rolled the dried green torreya fruit in the spider silk bag into the water ball.

Infused with raw energy, the water ball turned into a sea blue color and spun rapidly.

Dried green torreya fruits were crushed.

The water ball shrinks slowly,

25cm in diameter,

20cm in diameter,

Diameter 15cm...

The color of the water polo also gradually becomes darker, and the surface becomes milky white.

The water ball continues to shrink, and its milky white color gradually increases, covering up the original blue color of the water system.

In the end, the water polo was settled at a diameter of about 3 centimeters.

A milky white ball of sticky gelatin.

Long Bai introduced: "Black Sophora japonica is currently only an 8-year-old mountain master. The refining ability it has mastered is not complete, but it can be roughly judged about the complete refining ability."

Black Locust controlled the ball and slowly floated in front of the Snow Spider King.

Long Bai: "Refined torreya seeds taste quite good."

"This ability..."

The Edelweiss Spider King gently activated his water ability, took over the control of the milky white ball refined by Qingrenzi, and carefully sensed and inspected it.

His expression gradually became serious.

Unprecedented solemnity.

The Edelweiss Spider King advocated inviting Long Bai and Mo Lan to join the Bo Shuwan Kingdom, mainly because of their growth potential and the special blue soldiers' water combat capabilities.

I didn't pay much attention to this refining ability before...

Many ants and bees have similar racial talents, but they are not as powerful as this...

There is also a honeypot ant in the southern hemisphere, which has a racial talent that is highly similar to that of the blue ant. If you compare it carefully, it is far less powerful than this one...

The edelweiss king opened his mouth and sucked, took the milky white ball into his mouth, tasted it briefly, and swallowed it.

The Edelweiss Spider King suddenly thought of a question: "With this ability, can it turn all useless impurities into nothingness?"

Long Bai: "It should be so!"

The Edelweiss Spider King was shocked and in disbelief, "This is an ability similar to, or even more powerful than, the fire element's 'Source Fire'!"

Long Bai: "It's almost the same meaning."

Long Bai: "If I evolve to the king level and the blue ants I cultivate can inherit one or two points of the complete refining ability, then it is not impossible to preserve food for more than 100 years."

The Edelweiss Spider King thought for a moment and agreed: "Maybe it can work!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Longbai Ant King, whether it can work or not will be clear after a test. Now you can arrange for Black Locust to activate its ability, refine a batch of food, seal it up according to the method you said, and keep it for thirty years, fifty After a year, we will take it out and check it out, and we will know if it works or not."

Long Bai: "That's what I mean too. The time can be set as 50 years from now. That's about right. I will be promoted to the Insect King. When the time comes, we will make a decision based on the situation."

Edelweiss Spider King: "That's right——"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Longbai Ant King, what do you mean..."

Long Bai: "The Xianglan Mountain Kingdom joined the Bo Shuwan Kingdom Alliance as an independent kingdom, and I provide them with logistical and food support. I will not join the war easily. We secretly plan to destroy Blue Island in one fell swoop when everything is ready."

Long Bai: "However, before that, the news should not spread. To avoid some ambitious kingdoms from having their own ideas."

Long Bai: "This plan cannot be carried out in Bo Shue Bay. It is best to stay away from the battlefield and hide the rear area."

Long Bai waved his tentacles, and a water ball was generated, stretched and unfolded, turning into an undulating continent map, and the freezing ability was finalized.

Map of Wanglan Continent.

Long Bai pointed with his bent tentacles and said: "King Edelweiss Spider, this is the eastern sea of ​​Wanglan Continent. This is the Kingdom of Forest Vespa. To the east, there is a densely distributed archipelago. I named it 'Thousand Reef Islands'. The location is ideal.”

Long Bai: "I heard that the Forest Wasp clan has a queen bee developing in the United Kingdom of Boshuwan? And she is also participating in the competition for the leadership position this time? The Forest Wasp Kingdom on the east coast of the mainland has been actively participating in the war to support its own clan."

Long Bai: "The Xianglan Mountain Kingdom joins the Bo Shuwan Kingdom Alliance. The condition is that Bo Shuwan sets aside a territory for us. We can then use this territory to exchange it with the Forest Vespa Kingdom. We only exchange it for the Thousand Reef Islands. It does not count. Is it difficult?"

The Edelweiss Spider King stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and asked: "Longbai Ant King, you have long been planning to occupy this island, right?"

Long Bai did not hide it and said: "That's true. The initial plan was to secretly accumulate troops, occupy two large islands in the distant sea, quickly renovate and build defenses, and then communicate with the Forest Vespa Kingdom and pay some god-given force food or Divine fruit, gain island territory peacefully.”

Long Bai: "If it can be resolved peacefully through territorial exchange, that would be the best."

The Edelweiss Spider King thought for a while and said: "There is no rush in this matter. King Longbai Ant, after you are promoted to King of Insects and condense the divine patterns, I will make the introduction. You can discuss it with the five leaders of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan. "

Long Bai: "Okay!"

Long Bai: "Edelweiss Spider King, the divine fruit that gives life-type talents is very important. Is it time for the Grass Spider King to retire? Can you advise it?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

The Edelweiss Spider King greeted: "Let's set off. Ask about the situation first." (End of Chapter)
