Astral Ant Tribe

After Long Bai was promoted to the 7th-instar intermediate ant king, the upper limit of the ant eggs produced by the ruling throne was increased to 6. The cycle is still four days, which is an average of 1.5 eggs per day.

In the ant nest, larvae hatch, larvae form cocoons, and worker ants emerge.

The number of large and medium-sized worker ants has reached the planned 600.

Long Bai began to breed soldier ants in large numbers.

In practice, it has been found that soldier ants are not suitable for carrying soil clods, and their jaws can easily crush soil clods. However, soldier ants can carry stones, and are suitable for sweeping and hunting, collecting scattered gravel all over the mountains and fields, and are more efficient than worker ants.

Soldier ants can work as part-time hunters and quarryers.

Long Bai plans to increase the number of specialized soldier ants to 300, as well as the number of large and medium-sized soldier ants.

…

Before winter comes, a 13-meter-long pond on the south side of the mountain has been dug.

Backfill with a half-meter-thick layer of soft humus soil, pour some biogas residue, and store half a pond of water after an autumn rain.

Preparations are complete.

Waiting for the coming spring to warm up, sow the seeds given by God as soon as possible.

After a cold wind, the temperature dropped sharply, and the worker ants lost energy and returned to the warm nest for a vacation.

The agreed time for the business trip has also come, and we can no longer miss the appointment.

Long Bai and Mo Lan spent three days personally hunting down a number of large animals, storing enough food for the ant nest, and then packed up and set off.

Before the weather is too cold, head to the north first.

We took a slight detour on the way, wasted a day, and searched for other Force places along the way.

not found.

…

Yinbai Mountain.

The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and everything is depressed.

A chilly breeze penetrated the carapace.

It wasn't snowing, but it was still freezing and uncomfortable.

But Ke Jianjia seems to be extremely cold-resistant. The branches are covered with golden red persimmon fruits, and the mountain persimmons are so busy that they don’t even touch the ground.

The persimmon was on the tree, busy harvesting it. When the throne of control approached, it just waved its long tentacles and said briefly:

Long Bai Ant King. Mo Lan. You are here.

Yamaki.

Long Bai greeted.

Mo Lan turned around, picked up a gourd, and shook it vigorously, making a crashing sound.

Shanshi, the persimmon tree seeds I collected for you are all cold-resistant varieties that can be grown in the north. They are mixed together and sown in the nursery. Let's subdivide them after the seedlings grow.

——Persimmon tree seeds have arrived? !

Yamasaki became so excited that he fell directly from the tree to the ground.

The ruling throne then slowly sank to the ground.

Shanshi, don't get excited yet. These are ordinary persimmon tree seeds, nothing special. Mo Lan fluttered her wings and stepped forward to hand the gourd to Shanshi.

Long Bai picked up a small spider silk bag and asked: Shanshi, do you remember the azure persimmon I mentioned to you?

certainly!

Shan Shi held the gourd, rolled up the wooden cork with his flexible tentacles and pulled it out. He looked at it obsessively, slowly raised his head, and suddenly burst into ecstasy.

Longbai Ant King, have you found the azure persimmon seeds?

Yes... Long Bai: However, there are only 10 in total. Mo Lan and I each took one as a life seed. Now there are only 8 left. You will take one as a life seed first, and the remaining 7 seedlings are propagated...there are only 7, try not to make mistakes.”

good!

Shan Shi asked anxiously: Longbai Ant King, how much do you sell these seeds for? Are they expensive?

Long Bai: Ordinary persimmon tree seeds are worthless, and I won't accept your rough stones.

Long Bai said solemnly: The azure persimmon seeds cost a lot of money to obtain. They can no longer be priced in raw stones... I can give them to you for free, but I have two conditions that are not too harsh.

Yamashiki asked: What are the conditions?

Long Bai: The first condition is that when you are in the advanced warrior stage, you must choose Azure Persimmon for all life types. Of course, I will buy the persimmon fruits produced at a high price.

The second condition is that I may need some ordinary azure persimmon seeds in the future, and you must provide them free of charge.

Shan Shi was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: No problem! Thank you, Long Bai Ant King, thank you Mo Lan.

You're welcome. Mo Lan waved his tentacles grandly.

Long Bai: Shanshi, I have a little suggestion, do you want to listen?

Yamagaki: Listen!

Long Bai: After all, you are just a lone insect with limited time and energy. It is recommended that in the subsequent management, you should eradicate some of the planted persimmon trees and gradually replace them with azure persimmons. In the future, you will mainly cultivate azure persimmons. Others. Types of persimmon trees can be planted in appropriate quantities.”

eradicate?

Shanshi hesitated, struggled, slowly shook his tentacles, and said firmly: I have time and energy to take care of more persimmon trees!

Long Bai: ...

Cymbidium:……

It has long been known that Shanshi is a stubborn person, and Long Bai and Mo Lan didn't try to persuade him.

Long Bai skipped the topic and asked: Shanshi, are the silver cypress seeds and persimmon fruits produced this year still there?

Yamashita: Here! They are all here. The persimmon fruits were just harvested two days ago and are still very fresh.

When talking about the transaction, Shan Shi took the initiative to ask: King Longbai Ant, are there any more God-given South Jujubes?

Yes! Long Bai secretly rejoiced and asked, Shanshi, do you think the effect is good?

I think it's very good! It's cheap and easy to use.

The mountain persimmon collected the persimmon tree seeds, ran a few steps away, spread its elytra, and stretched the brown membrane wings hidden under the elytra.

Buzz~buzz~buzz~

Yamashiki flapped his wings vigorously and slowly rose into the sky.

The cold wind swept across and the fallen leaves were flying.

Yamashiki said excitedly:

Now I can barely fly! With two or three more strengthenings like this, I will definitely be able to master the ability to fly again. I can fly and pick persimmons. That way, the efficiency will be much higher, and I can plant more persimmon trees.

Mo Lan regretted a little and said, But, when we came here this time, we only brought 200 southern jujubes.

Long Bai kindly advised: Shanshi, it's best for senior warriors to focus on strengthening their comprehensive physical fitness, supplemented by their talent system. You can eat southern jujubes, but in moderation. For you, 100 per year is very suitable.

Long Bai: This is well-intentioned advice. Mo Lan and I have endless amounts of southern jujubes that we can't eat or sell. We want to make money, but we can't just focus on making money, we also have to consider our trading partners. Shan Shi , think about your late elder Yinbai...

oh--

Yamashiki said frustratedly: I understand...

Shanshi was silent for a while and asked stubbornly: Did you only bring 200? Then I will buy 200. I will eat 100 this year and another 100 next year.

Long Bai was speechless for two seconds and then agreed: Okay!

…

The output of Shanshi Territory this year has increased slightly compared to last year.

All these were added up, and the final total was 7,200 rough stones.

200 jujubes, 2000 rough stones.

There are only 60 ghost fans left, and they are all included, 1,500 rough stones.

A jar of ant honey, which is made from dozens of physical-strengthening force foods, costs 2,000 raw stones.

Finally, Long Bai helped it choose and mix a portion of mixed force food worth 1,700 raw stones.

After the transaction was completed, we headed southeast and headed straight to the next stop: Baifanshan

The main thing is the output of the high-grade ball warrior rice plant. In just one year, the output has not increased much, the quality has remained unchanged, and the previously set unit price has remained unchanged.

This year, the pulp of the black rice tree and white rice tree was eaten by the white rice and black rice trees themselves.

The final price is 7,000 rough stones.

He simply completed the transaction and went straight to the Jianlan Plain to search for the god-given seeds.

Nothing gained. Continue to the next stop: Ghost Fan Mountain
