Astral Ant Tribe

Winged Star.

Next to the headquarters of the Luohe Chamber of Commerce, Yu Teng stood alone at the entrance to the path leading to the residence of the two presidents in the back mountain.

"Longbai Ant King..."

"Yuteng? What are you doing lying here?"

"Three big spiders are here. They came to Gansui and President Alocasia and said they had important matters to discuss. Let me stay here and not allow other insects to get in."

"???"

Long Bai asked: "What big spider?"

Yu Teng: "One end is a phantom flame spider warrior, and the two ends are native flame spider warriors. Very fierce! Very powerful! I can't judge their evolutionary level. They asked me to guard them and not to disturb them."

Yu Teng is stuck in the 6th age of the Star Mark Realm.

The level of evolution that even Yu Teng cannot peek into is the star realm at its lowest.

Long Bai hesitated for a moment, then his soul-fixing ability unfolded and flashed by.

as expected,

The souls of five big spiders in the star realm crowded under Alocasia's life seed.

Long Bai asked in confusion: "Where did the big spider come from? What is it probably about?"

Yu Teng: "I don't know. They came directly across the star network physically. They saw me and asked me what I did. I said I was working for Gan Sui and President Alocasia. They asked me to guard the intersection. "

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "They asked you to guard, so you just stay here obediently?"

Yu Teng: "When I left my home planet, the Phytolacca Sacred Tree once specifically taught me that if you can't fight, run away. If you can't run, then look back and ask if you can surrender and follow the opponent."

Long Bai choked again.

"Then why didn't you run? Surrender?"

"They are not hostile. This is not considered a surrender. According to my observation, the three big spiders are from outside. They will leave after talking. I will stay here, and when they leave, they may benefit a little bit."

Long Bai was completely speechless and truly convinced.

There is a reason why Yuto is still alive today.

After thinking about it,

Long Bai flashed the Phytolacca divine pattern on his forehead, took out the metal can that encapsulated the divine white barberry fruit, placed his control on Yu Teng's back, and said:

"This is the longevity magic product promised to Gansui and Guilin Alocasia. Yu Teng, run and deliver it to them. Remember to collect the money. The price is 3 million per piece. However, you need to pay with the soul-based gene agent. .”

"oh--"

Yuto hesitated for a moment, then ran away.

…

after awhile,

Yuto ran back again.

"King Longbai Ant, President Gansui and Alocasia ask you to come over and talk."

"Oh? What's the matter? Those three big spiders from outside want to buy white barberry fruits?"

"It seems, no."

Yuto thought for a while and said, "I think they are studying something very strange. It looks a bit like the legendary... super starship?"

"???"

Long Bai admired Yu Teng's expressive ability.

Yuto tried his best to explain: "The illusion of some kind of high-tech creation, a broken large starship. It's spherical and broken."

Long Bai: "..."

The more he talked, the more confused he became.

Long Bai greeted: "Have a look!"

…

Gansui and Alocasia, two old spiders, lived a very simple life. They dug two caves behind the mountain and spent most of their time hibernating to save their lives.

Yu Teng helps them guard their lives, occasionally goes out to inquire about news, and informs them of important matters in a timely manner.

If anything happens on a daily basis, Yuto will run errands and deliver messages.

Two stingy old spiders,

Long Bai asked Yu Teng, but the two old guys didn't give him any decent benefits.

Only silly spiders like Yuto are willing to help them work.

…

…

Tens of meters high, under the alocasia leaves that block out the sky and the sun.

Five old spiders stood opposite each other.

Gansui and calla lily on the side.

Three strange spiders.

Two distinct factions.

Yu Teng led Long Bai to the place, turned around and ran away, and went to guard the intersection.

"..."

"President Gansui, President Alocasia, do you have anything to do with me?"

"have."

"Let me introduce to you, this is Ang Tianlian, this is Yingye, and this is Zichan. They are all official members of our Luoji Chamber of Commerce and serve in the war department."

"Ang Tianlian serves as the captain of the third-class pioneer ship Hai Meng. You can call him Captain Ang Tianlian, or Captain Hai Meng..."

Ang Tianlian raised her paw to interrupt Alocasia's enthusiastic introduction and asked: "Longbai Ant King, was it you who used your soul power to spy on us just now?"

Long Bai: "...It seems like it's me."

Long Bai's mind was spinning rapidly, and he roughly confirmed that the other party was looking for him for his soul-based ability, and he took the initiative to explain:

"The ability is called 'Self-fixing', and it is given by the divine fruit. However, the related wild divine seeds remain on the mother planet, and they will not come out for 20,000 years."

"That's it~"

Ang Tianlian was greatly disappointed when he heard this. After thinking about it, he asked, "Have you awakened your soul talent?"

Long Bai: "Yes. But it's a pity that the divine seed that gives the soul talent is also left on the home planet."

Ang Tianlian asked: "According to my guess, the detection distance of your soul-fixing ability should be very far, and it is not hindered by ordinary substances."

Long Bai sincerely praised: "Captain Ang Tianlian is so awesome!"

Long Bai then explained: "Currently, I am in the 1st stage of the Half-Star Realm, my soul strength is about 4th stage, and the sensing range of my soul-fixing ability is about 800 kilometers in radius. After the range ability is deployed, the maximum distance is also 800 kilometers. about."

"Good ability!"

The original spider warrior named Eagle Leaf was excited when he heard this.

"Good ability!"

Ang Tianlian then praised, "I have traveled through three major galaxies and dealt with all kinds of insects, so I am very knowledgeable. You have one of the most powerful reconnaissance abilities I have ever seen."

Long Bai asked tentatively: "Captain Ang Tianlian, why are you looking for me..."

Ang Tianlian asked: "Your life-extending magic product... Longevity Fruit? How to sell it? We are traveling far away to do business, but we don't bring any personal goods, and we don't have soul-based gene agents. We can only pay with the Star Network account and the original crystal. You Just make an offer.”

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "4 million raw crystals/piece. The current batch of output has been sold out and will not be available until 33 years later."

Ang Tianlian looked at Gan Sui and asked, "President Gan Sui, when will the next Star Spider arrive?"

Gan Sui said indifferently: "It will also be 30 to 40 years."

Ang Tianlian: "Gansui, Alocasia, how many private goods have you two brought along?"

Gansui: "Speak nicely."

Alocasia said dissatisfied: "Captain Ang Tianlian, if you put this kind of thing on the surface, it doesn't sound good, right?"

"Um--"

Ang Tianlian put it another way and asked: "How many soul gene agents have you ordered?"

Alocasia: "Full quota."

Gansui: "One hundred million. Star realm, god-given level. Mixed."

Ang Tianlian: "Judging from our brief conversation, this Longbai Ant King is quite honest."

Alocasia: "A very clever ant king."

Gansui: "It's not bad."

Ang Tianlian simply calculated silently and said: "Is that enough? It's almost enough for Longbai Ant King to push the soul strength to the 8th age level of the half-star realm? The sensing range of the soul-fixing ability is close to a thousand kilometers, right?"

Alocasia: "Absolutely."

Gansui: "Let it try?"

The five-headed old spider was silent.

Long Bai looked solemn and asked: "Everyone, what's the matter? Can you explain it to me first?"

Alocasia: "Big deal!"

Gan Sui: "Don't be nervous, Ant. It's a good thing. It will make you rich."

The space in front of Ang Tianlian's eyes rippled slightly, and a metal platform with exquisite workmanship and a roughly cylindrical shape landed on the ground.

Acting with thought, a clear image appeared above the metal table.

In the image, there is a broken metal hemisphere covered with signs of tearing, melting, and penetration.

Ang Tianlian introduced: "The situation is like this. Five thousand years ago, there was information sent back to the Baijing Galaxy, saying that the 'Torrent of Will' was discovered. The analysis concluded that it was a certain alien beast civilization in the old universe with a certain expertise system and water system. The remains of a strong master with the power of frost, named ‘One-Horned Wolf’.”

"This kind of debris has a high reference value for the practice of the Star Realm and the strong people in the Star Realm. It is quite valuable."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai immediately recalled.

——Could it be the ‘torrent of will’ that oneself and his party encountered on the way to the Enlightenment Star System?

Ang Tianlian didn't pay attention to Long Bai's reaction. He paused, sorted out his words, and continued:

"It just so happened that the Haimeng was on holiday, so Yingye, Zichan, and I temporarily transformed into space explorers and came over to take a look and try our luck."

"I thought it was just a piece of debris, a simple matter. But when I got there, I discovered that the information sent back was wrong. It was not a beast civilization, not a single debris..."

Ang Tianlian raised his paw, pointed at the broken hemisphere in the illusory image, and said: "A technological creation of the old universe era! It is probably beyond the scope of the third-level technological civilization to be able to withstand the destructive force between the death and rebirth of the universe. "

Long Bai's tentacles trembled in shock, "Beyond level three? Level four? Isn't that a god-level technological civilization?"

Ang Tianlian: "No. Between the third level and the fourth level, aren't there three point zero level one, three point two level two, three point one level, three point two level, etc.? It may be a certain The technological civilization at the pinnacle of Level 3 has a little bit of the power of Level 4 technological civilization. A top-level civilization that combines technological civilization with Force civilization!"

"oh--"

"There is also this saying..."

Long Bai asked: "What trouble did you encounter?"

Ang Tianlian: "The remains of the old cosmic civilization that happen to be close to the source. The remains of the strong absorb the force and derive the 'original body'. You should know something about this, right?"

Long Bai: "I know a little bit."

Ang Tianlian: "Under normal circumstances, facing ordinary raw energy bodies, with our peak strength in the star realm, a soul-based mental ability impact can easily sweep away a large area. But..."

"As a pioneer ship, the Haimeng is equipped with the most advanced reconnaissance system. Scanning the remains of the ruins revealed that the interior was abnormally solidified, condensing into a strange 'original energy body' similar to elemental life forms."

"We have traveled through the three major galaxies and have never seen or heard of such a situation. Considering that it is the relic of a peak level three civilization, we dare not venture in easily."

Ang Tianlian said, paused, and said: "This ruins is huge, and there must be a lot of wealth in it. Among them, the third-level items can be preserved."

"We are here because we want to ask our Chamber of Commerce, President Luo Li, to come and have a look in person. But it's not suitable..."

Ang Tianlian said, paused and stopped talking.

Gan Sui took over the topic and continued: "First, President Luo Li has a distinguished status and is practicing hard on his home planet. It is not appropriate to disturb him easily."

"Secondly, President Luo Ji took action personally and harvested something really good. It might not be our turn."

Gan Sui: "Longbai Ant King, you are lucky, you bump into it, and you happen to have the right ability. Follow us, we will escort you close to see what the weird original energy body is, and whether there is any Danger."

Gan Sui: "After the detection is clear, we can decide whether to get it ourselves or inform President Luo Li."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai raised a tentacle, "First question, does the original body have a soul?"

Gan Sui: "It will produce a broken, messy, and deformed soul. It is not a real life, so it will not produce consciousness."

Long Bai raised another tentacle, "Second question, are you sure there is no danger? Can you protect me?"

Gan Sui asked back: "You have mastered at least one 'spiritual thrust' ability, right? When you awaken your soul-based talent, you haven't awakened one or two soul-based spiritual abilities?"

"Ordinary raw energy bodies are very strong, and it is difficult to hurt them with ordinary abilities. They are weak at the same time. When faced with the impact of soul-based spiritual forces, ordinary raw energy bodies are very fragile and can be broken in one blow."

Ang Tianlian said: "Longbai Ant King, can you show us your soul-based spiritual abilities."

Long Bai thought for a moment, his original energy surged, and his mental power turned into countless fine spikes invisible to the eyes, all over the carapace.

As soon as his thoughts changed, a dense mass of mental energy shot out, shooting vertically into the sky.

"enough!"

"The strength of the original energy body is directly related to the source point. It is just a zero-level source point with a force concentration of about 0.8. The comprehensive strength of the ordinary original energy body does not exceed the half-star level. With your strength, you can protect yourself. It’s more than enough.”

Ang Tianlian said and said in surprise: "Longbai Ant King, your condensed star core is not so strong? Ten series of talents? Law Divine Marks? Have you ever eaten Law Divine Products? There are more than one, right?"

Long Bai said vaguely: "I've eaten two."

Long Bai: "I am a ten-series talent. I use the inheritance of a third-level civilization in the old universe era, named '牉', as well as the ancestral divine power of Chiwu Mountain, as well as the seven-series elemental forms that I independently comprehended. The core of the star core.”

Long Bai: "The divine fruits of Chiwu Mountain were obtained by me in exchange for the seeds given by the gods..."

Ang Tianlian interrupted and asked: "Longbai Ant King, how many marks have you gathered in the Star Mark Realm?"

Long Bai: "One hundred and eighty."

Ang Tianlian: "No more!"

Long Bai: "Two hundred and forty?"

Ang Tianlian was too lazy to ask further, and said doubtfully: "It's strange that you still have spatial power fluctuations in your body."

Long Bai didn't talk nonsense, and the divine mark on his forehead flashed, and he said: "The origin of the pokeweed divine mark is more complicated. It was also exchanged with the divine tree of pokeweed with the seeds given by the gods."

"!!!"

"I just feel like you are weird."

"Sure enough, it's the pokeweed divine pattern!"

"Have you seen the Phytolacca Sacred Tree?"

Angtianlian, Yingye and Zichan were all excited when they heard the Phytolacca divine pattern.

Zi Chan said angrily: "Why would the Phytolacca Sacred Tree exchange the Divine Artifact of Laws with you?"

Long Bai: "This... the situation is more complicated..."

Long Bai simply used the "Tree Flower Heart Realm" ability to compile and summarize the situation in the southern hemisphere of his home star into a lengthy message, which was directly written into their soul memories.

"I see……"

Ang Tianlian jumped up again and said in surprise: "Reading and writing ability? Where does it come from? Independent comprehension? Divine fruit?"

Long Bai: "Divine fruit. Produced by my family. It's called 'Shu Hua Xin Jie'. If it's a StarNet account, Yuan Jing pays for it, and the price is 3.6 million."

Ang Tianlian was slightly excited and simply said: "4 million! I will buy three."

"..."

Long Bai was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and praised vigorously: "The boss is awesome!"

I have lived for ten thousand years, and this is the first time I have seen a flame spider profiteer who took the initiative to increase the price in a transaction...

oh--

wrong!

These three-headed spiders are not profiteers, they are fighting spiders.

Luojun Chamber of Commerce War Department,

He was definitely not suitable for business, so he was assigned to the war department.

Long Bai suddenly came back to his senses, changed his mind, and continued: "I have another question."

Ang Tianlian: "You say."

Long Bai: "Let's assume that there are no dangers in the ruins that you are worried about, so we can collect the treasures directly. How should we divide the harvest from this trip? How much should I share?"

Ang Tianlian: "When the time comes, it depends on the situation..."

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "It can't depend on the situation. For this kind of thing, the ratio must be agreed in advance. The harvest discount is calculated based on the original crystal, divided according to the proportion, and then distributed according to demand."

"..."

Ang Tianlian looked at Gansui.

Gan Sui: "Forget it. I know there are other flame spider merchants who also know this 'soul-fixing' ability. They are stronger than ants. I'll ask Yu Teng to call over."

"The Qiming star system is all in the semi-star realm, right?"

"Is there anyone stronger than the ant in front of me?"

"Flame Spider Traveling Merchant?"

"Aren't all the outstanding Flame Spiders sent to the White Crystal Galaxy?"

Ang Tianlian, Yingye, and Zichan asked questions one after another.

Gan Sui briefly introduced: "President Luo Li missed the most powerful one. The one with the Phytolacca divine pattern. A perfect eleven-series talent. At the Star Mark Realm stage, he successfully added the Phytolacca divine pattern combination to the Star Mark." , I have realized a little bit of the secret meaning of 'Huan'."

Alocasia said regretfully: "That spider has established the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce by himself, and the business is doing well. It is probably impossible for him to join our Luolu Chamber of Commerce."

"Huan?"

"Huan!"

"Have you awakened the eleven series of talents before Star Realm?"

"this……"

"Is the elder of Guild Luoji confused? How could he miss this kind of spider?"

Angtianlian, Yingye and Zichan jumped excitedly.

Long Bai: "Hiss——"

Damn profiteer!

Long Bai hurriedly said: "I think it is best to find out the situation first. Once we have obtained the treasures, it is reasonable to distribute them according to the situation. Captain Ang Tianlian, just give me some points as you like. We Ant Tribe and Flame Spider Traveling Merchant Different, the biggest advantage is not being greedy.”

Gan Sui took advantage of the situation and said: "That's right. Ant is quite suitable. That spider named Bai Wei doesn't know how to respect his elders and is not easy to talk to. Moreover, Ant's entire ninth age in the Star Mark Realm was achieved through soul-eating gene agents. Bai Wei I haven’t eaten it before. Ant’s soul level is higher than Bai Wei’s. This gap cannot be made up in a short time.”

Ang Tianlian: "This is the key! Then it's the ants."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai asked: "President Gansui, President Alocasia, 100 million soul gene agents? Then I will pay..."

Alocasia: "I'll give you a discount, Yuan Jing pays, 120 million."

Long Bai: "It's best to break through evolution once. I also need other types of genetic agents at the star level."

Alocasia said cheerfully: "I'll give it to you at a fair price."

“Thank you, President Alocasia!”

Long Bai thanked him and then asked: "The ruins should not be far from the Qiming star system, right?"

Ang Tianlian replied: "Very close. A voyage of about twenty years."

"That's really not far..."

Long Bai turned his attention to the ruins model and continued to ask: "This seems to be a broken starship... a spherical starship?"

Ang Tianlian explained: "It can be regarded as a starship. To be precise, it should be called a 'mothership' or a 'base'. A behemoth with a diameter of 18,000 kilometers is larger than the planet under our feet. It has both residential, survival and industrial functions." It has the functions of manufacturing, repairing, long-distance voyages, ship-carrying transportation, commanding fleet battles, providing supplies to fleets, etc. It is an all-round super giant mothership that can carry a civilization."

Yingye added: "It is also possible that it was a 'doomsday survival base' specially created by a super civilization in the old era in an attempt to resist the power of universe destruction. But judging from the extent of the damage, it withstood the moment when space collapsed. But it couldn't resist it completely, and was torn apart by about two-fifths. The entire thing was damaged and paralyzed, and with the space expansion of the newborn universe, it reached the edge of the universe."

"Understood!"

Long Bai said sonorously: "Then it's settled! I'll go back and make preparations! Captain Ang Tianlian, I'll make arrangements for the divine fruits you need first!" (End of Chapter)
