Astral Ant Tribe

On the gently sloping hilly land, you can see a giant tree standing proudly in the distance.

Born on the mountainside of a small mountain range, the tree tops are higher than the mountain range, and the strong force fluctuations can be felt from a long distance.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

"Longcypress! A wild god-given seed!"

"Longbai? Longbai?"

Molan sped up.

"I saw it. Slow down."

Long Bai reminded: "Since there are wild God-given seeds taking root here, it is very likely that there are Zerg warriors who can survive through them..."

"oh!"

Mo Lan slowed down and kept pace with Long Bai.

Come closer and take a closer look.

Probably this wild god-given tree has evolved too much and has changed too much, making it difficult to recognize what kind of tree it is.

Neatly terraced orchards are cultivated around the area, and mango trees are planted there.

There are Zerg warriors!

Long Bai and Mo Lan tacitly slowed down their flight speed again and climbed to high altitude.

Hover, observe.

Soon, a plant of fate was discovered on the other side of the hill.

The ripening yellow-veined berries, the rare jade-green rose apple, the four- to five-meter-tall lychee tree...

There were also two mulberry trees whose specific species could not be recognized at first glance. When the fruits were ripe, they naturally fell off and rotted all over the ground.

Are there no insects to pick the fruits of the Force when they are ripe?

There is only one possibility...

When Long Bai and Mo Lan saw this, their hearts sank.

After thinking about it again, I felt happy subconsciously.

There was an insect living here, but it passed away. Then, the ownership of this large-scale wild god-given tree...

"Longbai? Cave."

"I saw it. Take a look."

Long Bai and Mo Lan slowly lowered their flying altitude, observing while trying their best to release the fluctuations in the force.

A Zerg warrior about one meter long, with an orange-red carapace with black spots and an oval and hemispherical body, limped out of the cave.

A warrior from the Ladybug tribe?

A seriously injured 'disabled' warrior.

The left antennae were broken off.

The left middle leg was broken at the tibia.

The right elytra was broken in half, revealing the brown-black membrane wing hidden inside.

The left elytra also has a hideous crack more than ten centimeters long.

"Hello--"

Long Bai and Mo Lan greeted each other and landed ten meters away.

Mo Lan: "You are injured! Are there other Zerg warriors here?"

"……wrong!"

Long Bai noticed that the opponent's front leg greaves also had cracked and healed scars.

The left eye has a slight crack.

A fight between Zergs would never cause injuries of this shape.

"Oh!" Mo Lan also responded.

The opponent is a high-level warrior, and each age of evolution is accompanied by a sudden increase in body size.

This is clearly due to insufficient strengthening of the overall physical fitness, especially insufficient strengthening of the carapace, shedding of the shell, and injuries during the process of rapid growth in body size.

This is a 'Ladybug' warrior on the verge of death.

The other party stared at Long Bai and Mo Lan without saying a word, looking very calm and maybe a little stunned.

Dragon cypress: "My first destiny tree is the dragon cypress tree, and my name is dragon cypress."

Mo Lan: "My first life tree is Mo Lan, and my name is Mo Lan. What is your name?"

There was a long silence.

Jerky, calm spiritual thoughts.

"mulberry--"

Mo Lan asked: "Sang, what age are you a senior warrior?"

Sang: "...2nd age."

Long Bai and Mo Lan looked at each other: Sure enough!

but……

Ladybugs are smaller insects than the male queen ant.

Since the senior warrior in front of him is only 2 years old, why is he so much bigger than Long Bai?

There seems to be only one possibility...

Mo Lan asked politely: "Sang, the strengthening effect of the wild god-given seed on the other side of the mountain range is to giant size?"

Sang: "No."

no?

Mo Lan: "Then why are you so big?"

Sang: "It's so big to begin with."

Long Bai suddenly noticed a detail. Sang's antennae were thin and long, not like a ladybug.

"I am from the giant-headed ant tribe. Mo Lan is from the orchid mantis tribe. Sang, you are..."

"Nine-star cockroach——"

"cockroach?!"

"Forehead--"

Long Bai and Mo Lan searched for their inherited memories and suddenly realized.

A warrior of the cockroach clan.

Admitted mistake.

A nine-star cockroach that looks very similar to a ladybug.

This insect species is so rare that at first glance I thought it was a nine-star ladybug.

There was an awkward silence.

Long Bai: "Sang, judging from the breath of life, you are still very young."

Sang: "...Maybe."

There was another moment of silence.

Long Bai formally introduced: "I am the king of the creator civilization. Guided by the God of Nature, I have obtained the inheritance of the creator civilization and control the throne..."

The ruling throne was not brought over.

Long Bai's introduction stopped abruptly, he paused, and said: "Mo Lan and I are traveling merchants, riding on the throne of control, crossing the vacuum of the Force, traveling to various Force points, exchanging trade with Zerg warriors..."

The introduction process is completed.

Sang didn't respond, lifeless.

It has been severely injured and disabled, and cannot survive the next stage of molting evolution.

It has only one choice, no longer eat any Force food, no longer grow, and can live a few more years.

But I can only live in a humble way.

Chongsheng has lost hope, and life has no light.

Long Bai: "Wait a moment, Mo Lan and I will bring the throne of control over."

…

Long Bai and Mo Lan fluttered their wings and took off.

Instead of leaving straight away, he flew over the mountains, 'passed' by the wild God-given seeds, and circled around in a circle.

The height of the tree exceeds 50 meters!

Maybe 60 meters, 70 meters.

Too high, too big, the exact height is hard to estimate.

Fruits of different sizes, shaped like meteor hammers, are hung here and there on the trees.

Many fruits are gathered into this strange ball shape.

If you look carefully, the fruit size is in four grades.

The smallest one is four to five centimeters in diameter and has a small size.

There are also medium-sized fruits of seven or eight centimeters; large fruits of twelve or three centimeters; and extra-large fruits with a diameter of more than 15 centimeters.

Structured.

It's easy to understand. This wild god-given tree blooms every year, and then the fruit needs to grow for at least 4 years to fully mature.

It's not the common kind that blooms and bears fruit at one time and then matures all at once.

Similar to the flower and fruit patterns of plants such as Torreya and Torreya.

What kind of plants?

If you look carefully, you will see that the leaves are oval and broad, with a "tail" at the tip.

Search for inherited memories...

"Golden Light Fruit!"

"variant."

"Mountain Lord level?"

"It's only one step away from the lord level."

"The most delicious fruit in the world."

"Now it's the second one! The first one is the Blue Fruit."

"Okay...very strong fire force fluctuations..."

"Pity."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were both a little disappointed.

Variations in plants do not always change for the better, and may also drop in price.

The strengthening effect of this variant of the golden god-given seed is the fire element ability, and its value is neither high nor low.

As for the native golden light fruit, its type of enhancement is the visual system's far-sightedness enhancement, which is actually more valuable.

"Bring the governing throne here first." Long Bai urged to set off.

"Long Bai, will White Rice Ant Wangmi be useful for Sang's injury?"

"have."

"Then shall we help it?"

"..."

Long Bai didn't know.

A wild god-given seed that has been growing for thousands of years has begun to grow in size and has a huge output. Even if it is strengthened by the fire element, it can still sell a huge number of rough stones.

Looking back, when the number of ant soldiers in the ant country increases and the security concerns of the territory are resolved, they can trade with the caravans with confidence and boldness.

Don’t worry about selling good things.

San is dying.

After Sang died, naturally, this wild god-given seed belonged to himself and Mo Lan.

Facing the huge interests, Long Bai could not calm down.

Mo Lan also hesitated.

Gallop back to the throne of dominance.

Long Bai took out an empty can and opened the lid, but made no move.

Mo Lan: "Long Bai. We are the only insects in Yunji Continent. Please save Sang."

Long Bai: "..."

If he doesn't save her, his majestic image in Mo Lan's heart will collapse.

Long Bai shook his tentacles and motioned for the specialized blue ants containing white rice ants and king honey to come forward.

PS: The nine-star cockroach prototype is called ‘ladybird cockroach’ in China, as shown in the picture of the easter egg.
