Astral Ant Tribe

Hongnan Mountain, Trading Cave.

Heliotrope, red peach, cedar, and black locust are counting the goods and tallying the accounts.

There is also a small flame spider standing on the back of Heliotrope.

Seeing Long Bai walking into the cave alone, everyone was stunned.

"Longbai Ant King!"

Hong Tao was the first to react and waved his tentacles in greeting.

"Longbai Ant King..."

Heliotrope greeted him and asked, "Didn't the Edelweiss Spider King come over?"

Long Bai: "Here he is...and he's gone."

"I've seen the Dragon Cypress Ant King~"

The little flame spider standing on the back of Heliotrope timidly greeted.

He is still a little warrior who has just evolved to the intermediate level.

"Hello~"

Long Bai asked: "Heliotrope, a junior was born in Lord Qiye's caravan?"

Heliotrope: "No. It's the caravan of the Hellebore King, the direct descendant of Lord Style. He was just born the year before last. His name is Zhui Feng."

Heart: "Isn't King Lu Dou considering setting up his own caravan? King Lu Dou arranged for Lord Style and Zhui Feng to go over together and join Lu Dou's caravan."

Long Bai: "..."

It is a rigid rule of the Flame Spider Kingdom that each spider king must lead a caravan and conduct business independently.

The Zeqi Spider King lineage will be split into at least four Spider King caravans.

The branches and leaves are blooming and the bloodline is prosperous. This is a good thing.

However, after the split, the number of spiders in each caravan will be reduced, and the strength of the individual team will be weakened.

This kind of regulation has its reasonableness. It can prevent a certain lineage from developing too much, causing a high concentration of wealth and resources to form a monopoly, and squeezing the living space of other spiders.

Zhui Feng: "I help the Lubean Spider King with the transaction. Please take good care of the Dragon Cypress Ant King."

Long Bai: "...of course!"

Long Bai asked: "Lu Dou is so anxious to recruit flame spiders and form his own team. Is he planning to expand the force honey trade?"

Zhui Feng turned sideways slightly and looked at Hong Tao.

Hong Tao said: "After the caravan is split, the White Spider King will no longer trade force honey. He will trade a small amount of queen honey, but he will not rely on this to earn raw stones. The White Spider King will only trade divine fruits. "

Heart: "The trade in force honey and the trade in God-given force food have all been transferred to Yuzu and the Grass Dragon Caravan. They are trying to recruit team members and prepare to form their own team. Yuzu has spent a lot of effort That’s why I invited Zhui Feng here.”

"oh--"

Long Bai asked again: "Where are Nandi and Zhuban?"

Hong Tao: "Nandi will follow the White Spider King. Pillar also wants to follow the White Spider King, but it is Caolong's direct descendant, and the matter has not been settled yet."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai didn't know what to say, so he silently stuffed the four spider silk bags and said: "This is the divine fruit sent by the Edelweiss Spider King this year. Heart, please check it."

"OK--"

Hong Tao took it and did not move her claws in a hurry. Instead, she asked in confusion: "What emergency did the Edelweiss Spider King encounter?"

Long Bai: "The battle between Bo Shuwan and Blue Island, the fall of Yucai Island, and the collapse of the coastal defense line..."

Long Bai repeated the words of the Edelweiss Spider King.

Hearts and Heliotrope were silent.

The cedars and black locusts are worried.

Long Bai greeted: "This is something we are unable to interfere with. Let's ignore it for now. Let's make a deal."

Long Bai was not in the mood to trade. After taking care of the urgent matters, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

…

Molan Mountain.

Mo Lan was busy tending her orchid grass in the mountains. She was keenly aware of something strange, fluttered her wings and took off to meet him.

"Long Bai, what's wrong?"

"Something bad happened. The battle between Bo Shu Bay and Blue Island, the fall of Yucai Island, and the collapse of the coastal defense line..."

Long Bai repeated the words of the Snow Velvet Spider King again.

Mo Lan was shocked and said with difficulty: "That, that, that Morpho Purple..."

Long Bai: "I'm afraid it's dangerous."

Accidentally, the last farewell was a life-or-death farewell.

Mo Lan's mood instantly dropped.

Long Bai slowly said: "The Xianglan Mountain Kingdom moved to Wanglan Continent mainly in the hope of stable development. If the Ishikari blue ants invade the mainland, causing war and causing no peace, then everyone..."

Mo Lan: "What should we do?"

"Nothing can be done!"

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, you stay in Mo Lan Mountain. I rushed to Yaoye Island to pick up Cui Bai, Black Birch, and Azuki back to avoid the wind."

Mo Lan: "Okay-"

Mo Lan: "Don't run around, go back quickly."

Long Bai: "Okay!"

The mental powers of Leigang Oak, Beikuiyu, and Purple Barberry all came over to inquire about the situation.

Long Bai briefly informed the situation and set off in a hurry.

…

Long Bai prepared for the worst, and with an extra precaution, he urgently moved all the blue soldiers and blue ants who had separated their nests on Shake Leaf Island to Xiangsi Island.

…

On the throne of control, with water chestnut and black birch at the bottom, and green cypress and dragon cypress standing on the upper level, they speeded into the palm tree rainforest.

Da Wang Bai noticed it immediately and reached out with his mental strength.

"Longbai!"

"Cui Cypress, Black Birch, you are here too."

Dawang Bai greeted each other in turn, and then said: "Long Bai, good news, God-given seeds!"

"!!!"

The originally worried dragon cypress, green cypress, and black birch's tentacles stood up straight, and they suddenly became energetic.

Wang Bai: "The bad news... is a white clover..."

"..."

Dragon cypress, green cypress, and black birch looked at each other.

Black Birch: "Your Majesty, this..."

Long Bai: "This is pretty good."

Black Birch: "Your Majesty, arrange it for the Second King? It likes herbs and God-given seeds."

Long Bai shook his tentacles.

The two kings are planning to only choose top-level god-given seeds to breed as life seeds, and they will definitely look down on them.

Long Bai: "Actually, it just so happens that this god-given seed can be used for testing. In the future, when the insect king leaves the Force Star Realm, it will be used to test whether it can take away the god-given seed. Herbal god-given seeds can bring The income is relatively low, and no one feels bad about it.”

After Long Bai finished speaking, he changed his mind and asked, "Wang Bai, where are you?"

Wang Bai: "No. 77 Purple Kiwi Fruit Orchard."

"good!"

Long Bai controlled the throne to fall and accelerate.

…

A location near the edge of the Force Land.

Regularly distributed earth and stone supports and neatly pruned kiwi branches.

The understory of the orchard is covered with dense growth of white clover.

A newly developed understory grass suitable for planting in temperate tropical areas.

The main root is short, the lateral roots are well developed, perennial, and has tenacious vitality.

One of the plots was cleared, leaving only one tree, with six specialized green soldiers and a small group of medium and small soldier ants guarding nearby.

It blooms early in the tropics, and at this time it is already an emerald green fruit pod, a single seed, emitting weak force fluctuations.

The strengthening effect is the most conventional metal system comprehensive ability strengthening.

"pretty good!"

Long Bai controlled the throne to stop and jumped to the ground.

Green cypress, black birch, and water chestnut followed.

Xun raised her chelicerae and asked, "Your Majesty, is this god-given seed a divine product?"

Long Bai: "Some divine products behave strangely in their seed form. But there are many divine products that are indistinguishable from ordinary god-given seeds and cannot be distinguished."

Long Bai: "There's no way. Let's look at it after the seeds are mature."

Long Bai: "Xi, there is nothing to do this year. You can find a place to rest by yourself, or go to the square to exercise."

Long Bai: "Green cypress, black birch, this is a god-given seed after all. You two take turns to guard it, don't take it lightly."

"Okay. Your Majesty."

"I understand. Your Majesty."

Green cypress, black birch, and water chestnut agreed.

The spiritual power of the two god-given seeds, Elephant-foot King Orchid and Split-Leaf King Orchid, came together, and the two guys kept asking:

——Ant, why did you come here alone?

——Where did the praying mantis go?

——Why did you bring crabs here again?

…

Wang Bai didn't understand and asked: "Long Bai, did something happen?"

Long Bai: "Something big happened in Wang Lan Continent..."

Long Bai repeated the words of the Snow Velvet Spider King again...

After processing, we turned around and rushed back to Hongnan Mountain to continue this spring's trading work, transporting rough stones to Citi Mountain as usual, followed by the search for God-given seeds.

Wang Lan’s mainland side can’t get through yet…

…

Long Bai wanted to break through and advance to the king level with unprecedented intensity and urgency.

At the end of autumn,

The two God-given orchids, the Elephant's Foot King Orchid and the Split-leaf King Orchid planted in the Palm Rain Forest, started to bloom. They were all cut off and began to stop flowering and fruiting.

The god-given island banyan tree bred in the 8th instar has been in a state of dormant flowers and fruits. The current height of the tree is over 140 meters, which is still a little short of breaking through to the king level.

Use raw stones, god-given remains, and force ant honey to replenish it with force and nutrients.

The spade comes to live in the palm rain forest for a long time, activating the abilities of prosperity, tranquility, and red and black patterns to help it grow.

…

Silver cypress 67 years old.

New Year,

All cypress plants are planted as soon as the flower buds appear, and they are cut off as soon as possible.

After evolving to the Lord level, the flower and fruit patterns of most Force plants have changed to blooming every year, bearing fruits every year, and ripening every year.

The green fruits already hanging on the tree can be retained, but they will no longer bloom or bear new fruits. They will enter a state of dormant flowers and fruits year by year, accumulating energy, recuperating the tree, and preparing for the breakthrough to the king level early.

…

Pandan Mountain.

The cypress trees have faded and the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring.

The Edelweiss Spider King was late again, arriving five days late.

After a brief greeting,

Long Bai asked: "King Edelweiss Spider, how is the battle in Bo Shu Bay going?"

The Snow Velvet Spider King said solemnly: "After many bloody battles, we regained the lost coastal territory, but Hacalyx Island completely fell. Ishikari Blue Ants completed the transformation of Hacalyx Island's defenses, and more than fifty ant kings settled in. Ishikari Blue Ants The ant army constantly raids the northern and southern coastal kingdoms to plunder food, and an endless stream of new soldiers emerges to fight. Once this virtuous cycle of fighting to support war is formed, it is almost impossible to break in a short time."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Currently, the Bo Shuwan coalition can only defend passively, waiting for more reinforcements to join, and also reorganizing the team, waiting for a good opportunity to counterattack."

Edelweiss Spider King: "The most troublesome thing is the ant king who has realized the ability of sea monsters to devour 'Ku'. According to the convention, it is called 'Ku fish ant king'. This time, the fish ant king is different from the two Thousands of years ago. The previous King of Ants had pure water talent, but this time the King of Ants also awakened the talent of wind, making his individual strength even stronger."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Today's Blue Island is also different from two thousand years ago. On Blue Island two thousand years ago, the total number of ant kings was less than a hundred. Since the development, the number of wild god-given species has increased, and the number of their ant kings has also increased. The number increased to more than two hundred."

Edelweiss Spider King: "In two thousand years, the overall improvement of various races and countries in Zhibai and Wanglan Continent has been limited, while the strength of Blue Island has more than doubled..."

——Two hundred ant kings? !

Long Bai's initial estimate of the number of blue ant kings in Blue Island was 50, which means each king occupies a vast land of 5,000 square kilometers.

In fact, this is not the case with the Blue Island system.

Every ant king on Blue Island is forced to contribute a god-given seed to the tribe and cultivate it into a wild god-given seed shared by the kingdom.

The number of wild god-given seeds on Blue Island is constantly increasing.

Blue Island also has a very important rule: each ant king can own up to 5,000 square kilometers of land. However, every time a god-given seed of destiny is obtained, 1,000 square kilometers of land must be returned. This also means that each ant king can only breed up to 5 God-given seeds of life. After that, he will no longer occupy the land and move into the "Bafangzhou Land" to focus on understanding the "sea beast devouring" ability and studying war. Skill, train the ant army, and concentrate on fighting Bo Shuwan.

An offshore island covering an area of ​​250,000 square kilometers actually hides two hundred ant kings who scare the insects to death. But after understanding the system of their ethnic group in detail, it is easy to understand and accept it.

A large part of why Blue Island is strong today is due to their system, and under this system, they become stronger and stronger as time goes by, and each generation becomes stronger than the previous generation.

Long Bai thought about it for several times, pondering it in his mind for several times, and asked: "King Edelweiss Spider, how many kingdoms in Wanglan Continent are participating in the war?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Currently, three thousand kingdoms, large and small, have responded, and about a thousand of them have sent troops to participate in the war."

Long Bai: "That's at least 50 million troops, right? Xiaoxiao Yucai Island, isn't that just flooded?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "90% of them are inland kingdoms. They have no water talent and are not good at water warfare. Land defense is acceptable, and air combat is also OK, but cross-sea and island operations are not so good. Therefore, coastal defense is currently the most effective. Lord, we have to wait for those ant queens and bee queens who have awakened their water talent to cultivate more troops. Also, Zhibai Continent needs more powerful insect kings who are good at water warfare to join."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Then there is the thunder talent. The thunder ability is the best to deal with the stone hunting blue ants hiding in the underground waterways. And to deal with the fish ant king, the thunder ability is the only effective restraint ability. "

Edelweiss Spider King: "The most troublesome thing is the fish ant king. It's a deadly trouble."

Edelweiss Spider King: "The 'Xiao' being devoured by sea beasts is not afraid of freezing or fire. It is immune to almost all types of material attacks. It can even isolate the detection of spiritual power. Soul-based abilities can't help it. Thunder-based abilities can be restrained. But it is not absolute, the thunder ability must be strong enough. At present, Wang Lan and Zhibai Continent do not have an insect king who is proficient in thunder abilities that can compete with them alone. They also need to organize a special elite team and everyone can gather together to besiege them. .”

"The King of Fish Ants can carry his subordinate King Zuo and hundreds of thousands of soldier ants through the '潆', sneak in the deep sea, silently approach the coast, and launch a surprise attack. He can also follow the rivers that enter the sea, go upstream, and go deep into the mainland. Inside, sneak attack and plunder.”

"This time, the King of Ants has awakened the talent of the wind system. Its 'Tong' also has super flying ability in the air. In the case of encirclement and siege, it can also fly away from the air to get rid of those Zerg who are not good at flying. .”

"No one can stop it, no one can stop it. They come and leave when they want, guerrillas everywhere, plundering wild god-given seeds and raw stone deposits, causing panic throughout the continent. After retaking Yucai Island, solve the problem Before we get rid of this ant king, the war pattern has changed, from the previous thirty-year war to a defensive war that may encounter surprise attacks at any time. All coastal kingdoms must be extra careful, and all river estuaries must be heavily guarded."

Long Bai: "..."

It gives me a headache just listening to it.

Long Bai was also worried and asked: "Edelweiss Spider King, doesn't that mean that Hong Island is at risk of being attacked by the Fish Ant King at any time?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "That's right!"

Long Bai: "Then...King Jinna Ant..."

The Edelweiss Spider King was a little speechless and choked for two seconds before saying: "The Jinna Ant King spent 40 years to successfully condense the first divine pattern. How can I put it, this speed is a bit slow, but it is not completely hopeless. . The Jinna Ant King is unwilling to leave like this, so I can’t force it to be driven away. It’s a time of war, so I can only arrange for it to move to the Phytocontinent for development.”

Long Bai: "..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "King Jinna Ant is packing his bags. I will rush over after completing the transaction here and take him to migrate. King Longbai Ant, do you want to come with us and say goodbye?"

Long Bai: "Of course. We have met each other once, and our relationship is pretty good. Jinna Ant King Insect is also pretty good. After we say goodbye this time, we may never see each other again. We should at least say goodbye."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Okay. Let's go back together then."

Long Bai: "Edelweiss Spider King, the matter of protecting Rainbow Island..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Leave it alone for the time being. The fish ant king is running around all over the sea, and there is nothing we can do about it at the moment. There is a high probability that it will find the Rainbow Island to prevent clues from being discovered. The undersea passage needs to be blocked and the south is temporarily cut off. Travels in the Northern Hemisphere.”

Long Bai: "What should I do with my ant colony on Xiangsi Island? Will they all be withdrawn to Yunji Continent?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Evacuate! Your presence should not be exposed. All blue soldiers and blue ants must be evacuated."

Long Bai: "Okay——"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Longbai Ant King, you can evolve with peace of mind. I will come and contact you when the situation in the southern hemisphere stabilizes, or during the next expedition year."

"good--"

Long Bai Ning twitched his tentacles and said: "My life has begun to flower and fruit, and the plan is to break through and advance to the king level in seven to eight years."

Next year, the 68th year of Yinbai, is the next expedition year, and the 9th-instar insect kings from the Force Star Realm will leave together.

The next expedition year is Yinbai 98. Before that, Longbai must move to the southern hemisphere, otherwise he will be taken away from the Force Star Realm by the power of law. (End of chapter)
