Astral Ant Tribe

Complete delivery of goods.

Luo Ji took out two small spider silk bags, handed them to Long Bai, and said:

This is the large-fruited ghost fan tree you commissioned to help collect. 15 seeds collected from different trees.

These are the seeds of the Green Torreya, the King Cedar, the Golden Pine, the Black Emperor Peach, the Kui Li and the Spotted Star Pear, 10 each.

Long Bai, this is the third and last time I help you collect seeds for free.

Long Bai expressed sincere gratitude: Thank you, Luo Li.

Long Bai: Luo Chen, there is still a little trouble that needs to be taken care of regarding the seeds.

Luo Qi was speechless.

Long Bai: Help collect some rice tree and persimmon tree species. The focus is on collecting species. I understand the rules. I will pay 20 rough stones for each species.

Luo Li was puzzled and asked, What are you doing collecting rice tree seeds?

Long Bai: I found a few wild white rice trees. They are pretty good trees. I might as well plant more of them for fun.

Luo Li: This is not fun.

Long Bai: I don't plant it on a large scale. I just use it as an isolation tree between rows in the orchard.

Luo Li: Isn't it good for you to use cypress trees?

Long Bai: Cypress trees can also be used. I use more types of trees and plant them crosswise, which can more effectively prevent the outbreak of pests and diseases in the orchard. Luo Chenwei, since you said that cypress trees are good, can you help collect some cypress seeds?

Luo Li: ...

There is some truth to this.

Luo Ji agreed: Okay. I'll remember it. I'll help you get some better persimmon tree seeds.

Long Bai: Azure persimmon seeds!

Um--

I'll try... Luo Li reluctantly replied.

Long Bai: Luo Ji, please give me some more worthless spider silk bags. Not long ago, Mo Lan and I were cutting down trees to clear up wasteland, and I was almost killed by a tree. Please give me two more longer spider silk ropes.

A worthless bag of spider silk? When did the bag of spider silk become worthless?

Luo Ji angrily manipulated two 10-meter-long spider silk ropes, tied up two small and two medium-sized spider silk bags, and threw them to Long Bai.

There is a bag with ants and spiders embroidered on it. Cao Long asked me to bring it to you.

Long Bai: Okay. Luo Li, please thank Cao Long for me and say hello.

Long Bai: Luo Li, since there is a spider silk bag given by Cao Long, you should give me another one...

roll!

Luo Li quickly packed her bags and evacuated first.

Luo Ji, I'm just kidding. Say hello to King Zeqi Spider for me.

Long Bai waved his tentacles triumphantly, signaling Mo Lan to pack up and go home.

…

…

…

Pandan Mountain.

Long Bai and Molan kept 2,000 of the high-quality force food worth 4,000 raw stones for their own use, and left the remaining 2,000 raw stones worth of the force food as the cost of the transaction with Baifanshan.

At the third age, Long Bai has eaten 40 ghost fans, 10 jujube seeds, 25 pandan seeds, and a few other force foods.

A molting evolution was quickly completed.

The spiritual strengthening effect of the ghost fan appeared. I tried my best to unfold it and the limit distance increased to about 18 meters.

Strengthening mental power becomes more difficult as you go up, and there is an upper limit. For an intermediate ant king, the upper limit of mental power should be 20 to 25 meters.

Long Bai woke up from his deep sleep this time and felt a little weak. He asked the blue ants to bring ant honey and licked it while combing through the newly awakened inherited memories.

As the food entered his stomach, the feeling of weakness quickly subsided. He wiped his mouth and couldn't wait to check the changes in the ruling throne.

【Guardian·Power】

Long Bai chooses [Guardian·Strength]

【Please select quantity】

【quantity: 1】

【Quantity 2】

…

【Quantity 5】

As speculated, after evolving into the 4th instar intermediate ant king, the upper limit of the number of ant eggs produced by the ruling throne in each round increases by 1, from 4 to 5.

According to this rule, in the future, the upper limit of the number of 7-year-olds will be increased to [Quantity 6]

In the future, if you will be promoted to the 1st age senior ant king, the upper limit will be increased to [Quantity 7].

4th instar advanced ant king [Quantity 8],

7th age [Quantity 9]

And so on.

Long Bai tried to choose [Quantity 5]

Blue light swept over.

[Poor physical condition, please reselect the quantity]

--All right.

--I knew it.

Long Bai starts over and conservatively chooses [Quantity 3]

This time it passed smoothly, and a suction came from under the soft cushion.

He had just completed his evolution and was barely able to regain some physical strength. He suddenly fell into a more serious state of weakness and hunger.

Long Bai waved his tentacles, called out to the blue ants guarding the nest, spit out some ant honey, and quickly ate it.

Spit out the Kuili seeds conceived in the 3rd instar stage and give them to the worker ants to soak the seeds in preparation for sowing.

Put a black emperor peach seed into the life bag and breed it as the life seed for the next age.

…

Spring is great.

The sown seeds of silver cypress sprouted and grew into seedlings about ten centimeters long. Silver cypress directed the little worker ants to eliminate the weak seedlings that did not grow properly or were obviously short and thin.

A new batch of specially cultivated blue ants are emerging one after another.

The soldiers and horses went ahead without using food and grass. 12 new specialized blue ants were added to ensure the food reserve capacity of the ant nest. Then, a large number of specialized worker ants emerged to do the work.

Dragon cypress and juniper cypress began to be busy on the hills in the south of the mountain, clearing weeds and shrubs, and began to clear the land to prepare for the future transplantation of juniper cypress.

The tall trees are first killed by cutting off the screen tubes and then drying them in the sun for a summer before processing.

In the busyness, late spring has entered before I knew it.

Mo Lan followed Long Bai and successfully evolved into a 6-year-old intermediate mantis warrior. Under Long Bai's persuasion, she chose a Kui chestnut seed as her life seed, and later planted it next to each other.

…

The wild white rice tree in Baifan Mountain is a god-given seed that ripens in early summer.

Gui Fan Mountain, Gui Fan is also looking forward to the new year's force food that strengthens the comprehensive physique.

Long Bai started to pack his bags.

With a clear destination and stable trading partners, he is considered a formal traveling merchant.

Moreover, both Long Bai and Mo Lan paid special attention to the transactions involving the two divinely gifted seeds, the White Rice Tree and the Ghost Fan Wood.

This year’s goods are quite abundant:

1. 1,000 rough stones.

2. The high-quality force food worth 2,000 rough stones obtained by the caravan on credit was already very expensive for the damn Flame Spider Traveler. After Long Bai weighed it again and again, he decided not to raise the price.

3. The original food purchased from Baifan territory last year, plus a batch of Shilan seeds, sold for 2,000 raw stones.

4. 90 ghost fans, priced at 2,250 rough stones.

5. 58 fruit pandan seeds, priced at 464 rough stones.

The total value of the goods is 7714 rough stones.

After a round of trading, the value of the goods brought back can exceed 10,000 rough stones.

In addition, there are 100 southern jujubes, not sure if they can be sold;

There were 10 specialized blue ants, 7 of which were empty stomachs and 3 of which were full. They were filled with ordinary ant honey that was mixed with dozens of fresh and dried fruits, honey, and meat nectar with a super complex aroma and super complex taste.

Two gourds filled with ordinary ant honey, rations for Long Bai and Mo Lan on the way.

The land is being opened at a time when there is a shortage of labor, and the production of ant eggs cannot be delayed on the road. According to the old rules, 10 medium, small, and micro worker ants are brought along, and three large bamboo tubes are tied to the rocks.

The ant eggs laid during the journey are taken care of by the worker ants.

…

After Mo Lan evolved, he rested for one night and set off to the south early the next morning.

By the way,

Search for places of force along the way, looking for rare plants, starship wreckage and the like.

Four days later,

Arrive at Nanjuozao Mountain.

After completing a cycle of flowering and fruiting last year, the God-given Ziziphus jujube dropped its leaves once in winter and grew again in spring. At the same time, it also sprouted new flower spikes that are about to bloom.

Long Bai helped it thin the flowers appropriately.

Mo Lan hunted a large number of large animals and came here.

Holes were dug and buried under the trees, and the corpses were fertilized.

After a busy afternoon,

We set off early the next morning and arrived at Ghost Fan Mountain in the evening.

Mo Lan got off the throne and flew out.
