Astral Ant Tribe

Hongnan Mountain, Trading Cave.

In the starship channel opposite, cargo piled up in mountains.

There are six caravans each with a mountain of seven leaves, white weeping, fall quinoa, moxa, geranium, and purple jade, and large and small bags of spider silk bags are piled up into six mountains.

Hong Tao is not here, he must be busy transporting goods.

Heliotrope was sorting the goods alone.

…

After the meet and greet,

Long Bai asked directly: "Heliotrope, has the Grass Spider King come over this year?"

Heliotrope: "Here we come..."

Heliotrope: "The Seven-leaf Spider King has successfully condensed the first divine pattern. The Caowu Spider King said that it will stay in its ancestral land next year and will not follow the caravan."

Finally got to retreat...

Long Bai: "Heliotrope, congratulate Caowu and the Seven-leaf Spider King for me, and congratulate them on successfully completing the replacement of the old with the new."

Heliotrope: "Thank you, Dragon Cypress Ant King, for your concern."

Heliotrope knew what Long Bai was concerned about, and continued: "As for the divine fruit that gives life talents, the Grass Crow Spider King went to inquire last winter. The share of this batch has been lost recently, and the next batch will be produced. As agreed, one can be sent after 21 years. As for Lord Molan’s one, I will send it to you after the next batch is produced."

Long Bai: "Okay——"

"We have to wait 21 years..." Long Bai turned sideways and looked at the Edelweiss Spider King.

The Edelweiss Spider King said cheerfully: "The divine stone fruit will be harvested after 7 years of maturity. You can send one over first, but..."

Long Bai: "I have negotiated with Bai Wei and Luo Jun to harvest the next batch of divine melancholy seeds when they are mature, and let them come out one by one and exchange them with you."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Okay!"

Heliotrope added: "Longbai Ant King, there is one more thing, have you forgotten? Wasn't the original plan to work with Lord Shuanglang to transform the terrain of Yunji Continent and transfer the Little Flame Spider? The original stone of the ancestral land has long been The allocation was transferred to the account of King Caowu Spider..."

After contacting the ancestral land of Phytophaga in the Southern Hemisphere, the plan must be cancelled...

As for the sugarcane, the Edelweiss Spider King compensates with two divine fruits that give elemental talents. And it has been confirmed that the first batch of Lei Zhezi will be produced in the next batch...

Long Bai: "Could it be that..."

Heliotrope: "There have been too many major events in recent years, and everyone has forgotten about it. Last winter, the Grass Spider King made up his mind to retire. I only remembered this matter when I was doing the accounting. I discussed it with the spider kings who were in charge of the ancestral land, and they all felt that since We have reached an agreement and unilaterally breached the contract, but we should still be compensated, and even though it is wandering alone and helpless, the 15 million resources promised should still be released to it."

Heliotrope: "Longbai Ant King, please ask Shuanglang how to allocate this resource? Is it still a mountain pillar fruit and 8 million god-given force food?"

Without waiting for Long Bai to agree, the Edelweiss Spider King spoke first and denied: "It's not appropriate. I have agreed to help Xuanlang awaken his thunder element talent. The original spider warrior's fire element plus a thunder element are two elements for it. Talent is already at its limit.”

Long Bai moved his tentacles in recognition.

There is only one Juelan seed given by the God of Muju. At the lord level, its total annual income from the territory is less than 400,000 rough stones. This income is just enough to evolve to the king level if a divine white barberry tree extends life by 50 years.

During the growth and evolution of the sugarcane, it mainly ate ordinary force food. Ordinary force food is not strong enough to strengthen it. The dual elements of fire and thunder are its limit. No matter how many element elements there are, it cannot be taken care of. There are no resources to strengthen and improve, and there is no point in awakening.

In the same principle, Long Bai and Mo Lan have awakened many elemental talents. During the process of growth and evolution, they can only eat God-given force food, and they have to choose good quality food.

In addition, if a god-given force food is used to a certain amount, the strengthening effect will inevitably weaken. When Long Bai and Mo Lan use the God-given power food, they must also pursue a rich variety.

The caravans of Qiye, Baiwei, Luojun and others took a large share of divine fruits from Longbai, and one of the attached obligations was to help collect various high-quality God-given force foods.

…

The Edelweiss Spider King considered it for a while and said: "A divine mountain pillar fruit, plus 8 million raw stones of god-given force food? In this way, the account can be recorded in my name, and I will help the sugarcane turnover and exchange it. Two divine fruits that grant fire and thunder abilities. Just so I have a set of fire and thunder skills that I can teach it."

Heliotrope stared at Long Bai.

Sugarcane is brought up by dragon cypress.

Long Bai is half of Shuanglang's elder.

Long Bai has more say in this matter.

Long Bai: "No problem! This is a good thing! On behalf of Xuanlang, I would like to thank all the spider kings in Wanzu Continent first, and also thank the Edelweiss Spider King for their support."

Long Bai asked the Edelweiss Spider King: "Heliotrope, is there anything important this year that I can communicate with the Edelweiss Spider King alone?"

Heliotrope: "A little bit..."

Long Bai wisely led Xiangbai and Heihuahua out of the cave.

…

The specific arrival time of the divine fruit that gives life-related talents has been finalized.

Long Bai felt relieved.

Spring trading ends,

Long Bai and Mo Lan rushed to Fei Guang Mountain as soon as possible to tell Juan Lang the good news and quickly completed this year's search for the god-given seed.

Nothing to do again.

Long Bai and Mo Lan always live in the Shuanglang Rain Forest...

…

After the tree grown by the God-given King Kashiwa exceeds 150 meters in height, its growth rate slows down significantly.

The vigorous growth period of the lord-level god-given seed is coming to an end.

Correspondingly, the monthly raw stone consumption gradually dropped from 50,000 to 40,000, 30,000, 20,000...

Year after year, the monthly cost dropped to 15,000 rough stones, and the rate of decline slowed down and became stable. This also corresponded to the complete end of the vigorous growth period of King Kashiwa's god-given seeds.

…

Silver cypress 22 years old.

There are two important things happening this spring.

The first thing is that Wang Baizi is about to expand his fruit for the second time.

The second thing is that the mother tree of Silver Cypress No. 1006 is over 4 meters tall. Flower buds appeared in early spring and will bear fruit this year.

There is a high probability of triggering the gift of nature and obtaining a top-level god-given seed.

Long Bai and Mo Lan acted separately.

Molan took the silver cypress, giant cypress, fragrant cypress, black cypress, spade, black leaf, and black locust to guard Xianglan Mountain.

Long Bai prepared enough 1.2 million rough stones, and took the green cypress, black birch, and water chestnut to guard the Juanglang Rain Forest.

The height of the tree of the God-given King Kashiwa reaches about 170 meters, and the growth of the tree costs almost no additional raw stones. Mainly the divine fruits on the trees. On average, about 500 raw stones need to be invested every day to replenish the original force.

The abundance of the Force in the Land of Force is not enough to support the development and growth of the fruit. This rough stone is a necessary investment, and there is no room for reduction in daily consumption.

The monthly fixed cost is 15,000, which is 180,000 per year.

If it is as speculated, and the fruit expands 10 times before and after, then the divine Wang Baizi is still 48 years away from maturity. In total, the daily cost of replenishing the force is as high as 8.64 million.

In addition to the investment in each fruit expansion period, the investment in the future fruit ripening period...

The total cost before and after must be more than 20 million rough stones.

Long Bai was already numb to this, and just wanted to know how powerful the 'adaptive evolution' ability given by the final fruit was.

…

A split-leaf king orchid, a god-given seed, was also planted in the Xuanlang Rainforest.

It is the same as the God-given Elephant Foot King Orchid, which grows slowly. It has the same ramet development pattern and also has a three-fold rate of ramification.

The split-leaf king orchid is a variety that has been optimized and cultivated by the Zerg. It is stronger. The height of the mother plant is more than 50 meters. The trunk is thicker and much taller than the god-given species of the elephant-footed king orchid.

The natural temperament is also worse. Split-leaf Wanglan not only rejects Force life except ants, it also rejects learning.

Teaching work has been unable to start.

But as an intelligent life, it is impossible not to learn. At least it must have a basic understanding of the world in which it lives.

Long Bai didn't have the patience to teach, so he left it to Cui Bai and Hei Hua first. They took turns, and despite the anger, threats, and curses of Split Leaf Wanglan, they forcibly instilled all kinds of basic knowledge into it.

Long Bai guided the king's god-given seeds and continued to impart various knowledge and skills on territory management. He also always paid attention to the changes in the fruits on the trees.

Wait quietly, a month later,

In the early morning, there was sudden movement.

The rate at which King Bai's divinely-given seed absorbs the force suddenly increased.

"Long Bai, the divine Wang Baizi is about to expand his fruit~"

"Green cypress, black birch, wake up~"

Wang Bai's mental power was delivered to the ant nest, waking up the sleeping dragon cypress, green cypress, and black birch.

While resting, the ant colony was also awakened one after another.

The large and small worker ants began to move, carrying the rough stones to the tree planted by the king Kashiwa God.

Xunshi sleeps every night in a river ditch only 300 meters away from Wang Bai's god-given seed. This time it moved the fastest, raising its eyes straight and looking straight at the waist of the tree.

"Good morning, Your Majesty!"

"Green cypress ~ black birch ~"

Xian raised her big and small chelicerae and cheered, "Great! The divine product Wang Baizi has swollen fruit!"

"..."

The ants were speechless.

This guy's thinking is always not in line with everyone else's.

Everyone looked at the cypress trees in silence.

The God-given Seed of King Cypress absorbs the natural Force at an increasingly faster rate, gradually forming a Force vacuum area.

The worker ants were well prepared, carrying the rough stones, and waiting three hundred meters away from the main trunk.

When the force vacuum area expanded and approached the ant colony, the ant colony began to act in unison.

There was a dense crackling sound.

Groups of force exploded and were sucked away instantly.

King Kashiwa's god-given command is precise, and the force vacuum area is maintained within a radius of 300 meters.

Long Bai led the green cypress, black birch, and water chestnut to watch quietly.

It lasted for two whole days, and one night, the fluctuations in the Force suddenly subsided.

The land of the Force gradually returned to calm.

Black Hua counted the number of rough stones and reported the situation, "Your Majesty, a total of 420,000 rough stones were consumed for this fruit expansion."

It's not as exaggerated as feared.

Compared with the first fruit expansion, the raw stone consumption has been reduced. The next time the fruit is expanded, the number should be reduced to 400,000 or less.

"OK--"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles, lifted the throne off the ground, flew close to the fruit on the tree, and took a closer look.

The diameter expanded from 5 cm to 7 cm.

During the fruit expansion process, the old silvery white scales fall off and new scales are being formed.

The scaly lignified shell is a little harder, and you can't feel any fluctuations in the force.

"Wang Bai, the second fruit expansion is completed, can you feel the changes?"

"The energy of the Force has increased, but there has been no qualitative change."

"What about the abilities given? Is it clearer now?"

"Still adapting to evolution, it's still unclear..."

"OK--"

Long Bai asked again: "Wang Bai, can you now judge more accurately how many times the divine Wang Baizi will need to expand to fully mature?"

Wang Bai: "This is okay. It will take 8 more times. Long Bai, as you guessed, the fruit will expand 10 times before and after."

"Okay, I know--"

Long Bai drove the throne around the tree twice and landed.

Cuibai raised his paw and asked, "How is it, Your Majesty?"

Long Bai said depressedly: "As for the 'adaptive evolution' ability given by the fruit, Wang Bai still can't explain the more specific situation. However, the flower and fruit cycle has been determined, which is consistent with what I previously speculated."

Cui Bai: "55 years?"

Long Bai tapped his tentacles.

Cui Bai: "Your Majesty, your promotion to the king level will be slowed down!"

Long Bai: "It's not a big problem. With luck, I evolved to the 9th instar within 10 years. Then the 9th instar stage also takes about 30 years to wait for the god-given seed of destiny to grow and grow. In total, it didn't take a few years."

Hei Hua raised his paw to signal and spoke: "The key is that the yield of the divine king cypress is too low, right? According to the rules, to be promoted to the king level, the first fruit expansion takes 1 year, and the subsequent 9 fruit expansions require 4 Years? That’s 37 years! It only produces one fruit!”

Cuibai: "Yes..."

Xin asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, are we unable to eat?"

Long Bai: "Really good things must first satisfy the internal needs of the kingdom."

Long Bai: "The God-given Seed of King Cypress is on the same level as the God-given Seed of Flame Spider Kingdom, and the fruits it produces are definitely not bad. Although the specific effect is not clear at the moment, we have a general understanding, which is rapid evolution. , Optimize yourself to adapt to the environment you are in. This is a magical item that everyone can use, especially when facing the unknown outer world, especially Xin, you can optimize your body structure and be more flexible."

Long Bai: "The two kings and I will eat first, and then you will come in order of age, juniper, juniper, and giant cypress. I will eat one first. There are still 14 left. After being promoted to the king level, one will be given in 37 years. It will take 518 years. When everyone is full, it will be almost time to leave the Force Star Realm, so there is no need to tell the Flame Spider Traveling Merchant about the seed given by King Bai Shen."

"..."

silence.

In this way, the seeds given by the god King Kashiwa produce no profit at all.

Not only does it not generate revenue, it also consumes a large amount of raw stone spot.

Cuibai raised his paw and asked: "Your Majesty, what if a new king is born in our kingdom?"

Long Bai: "There is no other way. Let's go into the outer world and see the situation."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and ordered: "Zi and Hei Hua stay. Cui Bai will return to Fanglan Mountain with me."

…

Pandan Mountain.

As soon as the throne of control approached the place of force, Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability and felt a little happy.

Ink orchids, giant cypresses, fragrant cypresses, black cypresses, black leaves, and black locust trees all gathered under the mother tree of Silver Cypress No. 1006. They were surrounded by soldier ants in all directions, three circles inside and three circles outside.

One look at the formation and I knew it was a success.

"Longbai!"

"Cuibai is back."

Zhanlan's spiritual power came forward and reported: "The mother plant of Silver Cypress No. 1006 triggered the divine gift as expected and lowered the divine power of law."

In the hills and woods, Molan jumped away from the cypress trees, fluttered her wings and flew into the sky, hovering and landing on the throne, cheering to announce the good news: God sent seeds!

Mo Lan can finally evolve.

After a period of joyful celebration, Cuibai told everyone in detail about the situation in the Zhuanglang Rainforest.

A grand banquet was held to celebrate grandly.

After the celebration, everyone returned to the place of the Force.

During the business hours, Mo Lan needed to avoid the Edelweiss Spider King and go to Molan Mountain to stay for a few days.

After the traveling merchant transaction ended, Long Bai and Mo Lan quickly completed the search for the God-given seeds, and then stayed in Xianglan Mountain to personally guard Yinbai's God-given seeds.

Time flies,

Late autumn.

Silver cypress God-given seeds are harvested when they are ripe.

Peel off the shell, and inside is a brown-red oblate seed with silver-white Force veins.

Judging from the weak fluctuations in the force, the strengthening effect has not changed. It has a comprehensive physique type and a unique body shape optimization effect.

Mo Lan's tongue rolled into her life bag.

"Your Majesty, it's time for this god-given tree to be officially named."

"...Second King, please."

"In order, it is called Erwang Cypress, the God-given Seed, or Erbai for short. The next Silver Cypress, the God-given Seed, is called Sanbai, and so on."

"The second king is wise! Naming in a clear order."

"The ants are not happy."

"happy……"

The naming of the entire system of silver cypress trees has been abolished.

"Congratulations to the Second King!"

"Congratulations to the Second King!"

"The second king is thinking deeply!"

"The two great kings are wise and mighty!"

The cedars and black locust trees were swaying vigorously to flatter the horses.

Long Bai was secretly annoyed and waved his tentacles to drive them away, "You two hurry back to the nest and pack your bags. The autumn trade should begin."

…

Autumn traveling trade.

Nothing happens in winter, spend the winter in the Shuanglang Rainforest.

Mo Lan lay firmly on the throne of control, using the auxiliary ability of the throne to accelerate the pregnancy and breeding of the seed given by the god Bai, the second king.

In the early spring of the new year, the pregnancy is completed.

I can't wait to evolve directly in a separate nest in the Shuanglang Rainforest.

Lasted six days,

Wake up from a deep sleep and quickly complete the molting.

"Wow!"

"Ha ha!"

Mo Lan's ecstatic shouts came from the cave.

Long Bai: "..."

——Idiot~

Long Bai, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, congratulated: "Congratulations to the second king, congratulations to the second king, the second king is wise and martial..."

——The strange ant!

Mo Lan rushed out, his two tentacles swaying from side to side, and the bright silver arc made a hissing sound.

Mo Lan couldn't hide the excitement and joy in her heart, and said excitedly: "Long Bai! I have realized a super powerful ability!"

Long Bai: "Super powerful? Let me see."

Mo Lan turned around and ran out of the ant nest.

Long Bai followed quickly.

Come together to the place where you usually exercise your abilities.

Mo Lan stood still. After a while, countless bright silver lightnings shot up from his carapace. With a roar, his entire body turned into a ball of dazzling bright silver lightning.

Long Bai turned his head to avoid the bright light, activated his mental power to scan, and was shocked.

Mo Lan's state is extremely strange. He is no longer a material entity, but a ball of violent wind and thunder dual element energy body.

At the same time, there is also the original characteristic of the alien ability 'Nether Lotus Form' given by the 'Divine Lotus Seed'. Mo Lan's state at this time is extremely strange, between nothingness and reality.

Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability induction.

Mo Lan's soul also underwent a change, and actually merged into the original body of wind and thunder.

An ability formed by the fusion of wind, thunder, soul, and the alien "Nether Lotus Form".

Di~

There was a sharp sound as the air was penetrated.

Silver lightning flashed, and Mo Lan teleported a hundred meters away.

Di~

There was another long scream.

Mo Lan spread her wings and hovered a thousand meters in the air.

——This ability!

Long Bai was shocked beyond measure.

Mo Lan in the air suddenly returned to its original state, probably because his original energy was exhausted, he flapped his wings and circled to the ground.

"I thought I was invincible..."

"There are weaknesses..."

Mo Lan muttered, drooping his tentacles, and said in despair: "This ability may seem like a bluff, but in fact, it has no substantial offensive ability!"

Mo Lan: "Moreover, the original energy consumption is too huge. I just moved twice and the original energy was exhausted."

Long Bai asked solemnly: "Mo Lan, in the state just now, can't you activate other abilities?"

Mo Lan: "That's right! I just can't. I can't release a single ability. I can't even swing my catching foot to chop, because in that state, I have already disembodied."

Long Bai: "Exhausted all the original energy?"

Mo Lan: "Yes. The original energy flows away very quickly, especially when moving, which consumes extra energy. The only great thing is that in this state, I can dodge almost all types of attacks, and can move anywhere within the range of my mental power. In the blink of an eye, he arrives in an instant."

Long Bai thought for two seconds and asked, "Mo Lan, how many abilities have you mastered?"

Mo Lan said depressedly: "There are only two. The other one is the most basic lightning control. He has not understood the soul ability."

"This ability is absolutely extraordinary! It's beyond your and my knowledge."

Long Bai greeted: "Mo Lan, eat ant honey and recover. Let's set off to the purple linden country to look for the Linnan Sacred Tree."
