Astral Ant Tribe

On the colorful large spider silk bag Mo Lan carried, there were a brown and yellow Watase flame spider pattern, a black ant pattern, and a lifelike snow white and pink orchid mantis pattern.

After this separation, we will never see each other again.

Mo Lan was depressed.

Long Bai carried the heavy metal can and led the way, but hesitated to speak.

"I said……"

"oh……"

"This spider silk bag woven by Bai Wei..."

"What's wrong?"

"The proportions of the pattern are wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Spiders are too big. Ants and mantises are too small."

"Isn't that what it is?"

"Insects always have to grow, you and I will eventually grow up."

"yes--"

Mo Lan: "Growing up makes me lose friends."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai silently led the way back to the location where the command throne was parked deep inside the starship.

I brought back 1,500 rough stones from this trip.

In the early summer of this year, 1,000 pieces of the crimson god's seeds will be used when the fruits are ripe. This will ensure the quality of the fruits and relieve the pressure on the crimson god's seeds during the fruit ripening period.

In the late winter of this year, 500 of the seeds of the God-given Nango must be used to ripen.

The southern jujube will ripen this autumn, so there will be no rough stone available.

In the coming year, a total of 1,000 rough stones will be needed to ripen the fruits of Molan's fragrant orchid and gorgonian seeds. The ripe fruits of Ghost Fan's god-given seeds will cost 800 rough stones.

With so many God-given seeds ripening alternately, we will need to find a caravan to get a fixed batch of rough stones every year.

Long Bai and Mo Lan must consider the issue of rough stone reserves as soon as possible.

In the future, when you are promoted to Mountain Master, your God-given seed will undergo a qualitative leap. During this period, you will consume a lot of raw power and you will have to spend a lot of raw stones to replenish it.

Rough stones are heavy and take up space. Caravan transactions are more inclined to barter. They only carry a limited amount of rough stones and provide spot goods in limited quantities.

Luo Qiye and Qi Ye get 1,000 pieces every year.

Baiwei's goods are small, so every time we come here, we can help deliver more.

…

Simple tidy up.

The ruling throne flew along the passage.

"Molan, there are important discoveries in the Black Lotus Lake, the emerald cypress and the cedar."

Long Bai took the initiative to talk about some interesting topics.

Mo Lan was aroused and asked, "What did you find?"

Long Bai: "Put all meat in boiling water and cook it. It will taste better."

"oh--"

Mo Lan said angrily: "Still eating!"

"……All right."

Long Bai changed the topic and said, "Mo Lan, I also thought of a very promising thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Mining!"

"Mining?"

"Original mine!"

"Where to dig?"

Mo Lan's gloomy emotions were swept away, her eyes were shining, and she asked:

"Where to dig?"

"First we have to find the original stone veins."

"Where to find it?"

“There are certain rules to follow in the distribution of raw stone veins.”

"What's the pattern?"

“There are more in the north and less in the south.”

"Oh~"

"Often located within large mountain ranges."

"oh!"

"In midsummer this year, we can go to the north. All the way to the north, very north. Looking for the land of the Force, specifically the kind of land with towering mountains."

"Okay! Okay!"

Mo Lan cheered and looked forward to it, and then said: "Then we won't look for the land of the Force and Zerg warriors in the south?"

Long Bai: "Looking for it. I travel twice a year in early summer and early autumn to travel for trade, and search along the way. In winter, it depends on the situation. I still have to stay in the ant nest this winter, and concentrate on cultivating soldier ants and growing the ant kingdom."

Mo Lan: "Yes!"

…

On the way back, Long Bai hunted hares, pheasants, wild boars, pythons and other common animals, and also dug out several nests of bird eggs.

Return to Pandan Mountain at dusk.

Long Bai called back the juniper on the mountain west of the garrison territory.

Shannan Restaurant, come together.

A metal jar holds water and is placed in the center. There are xiangguo seeds, lotus seeds, and gorgon seeds in the jar.

There are also wild tangerines collected last winter. Bored worker ants hung the peels on the branches at the entrance of the cave when peeling them. Now they have dried naturally.

Citrus peels have a special smell, so Long Bai also got some and threw them in. He activated his 'boiling' ability slowly and continuously, turning it into a can of flavorful soup.

Put the bird eggs you took out first and cook them.

The worker ants are busy cutting the meat into long strips or large pieces.

Under the expectant gazes of ink orchid, juniper, juniper, and giant cypress, Long Bai picked up a piece of wild boar meat and threw it into the jar.

Increase raw energy output.

The tank was boiling violently.

After blanching for about ten seconds, Long Bai removed his original energy and took out the meat strips.

"Mo Lan, try it!"

"good!"

Mo Lan dipped the ant honey, took a small sip, and swung her tentacles. She was surprised, pleasantly surprised, and praised:

"The taste is indeed different!"

"tasty!"

We are all carnivorous bugs, and our tastes are basically the same.

Long Bai shook his tentacles to signal.

Juniper, juniper, and giant cypress all picked up the cut meat strips and threw them into the metal can.

Long Bai activated his boiling ability, and the boiling water continued to roll for about ten seconds, removing its original energy.

"tasty."

“It tastes better.”

“The aroma is richer.”

"Your Majesty, you are so wise."

Juniper, juniper, and giant cypress tasted it and all praised it.

Yuanbai said: "Longbai Ant King, if we collect more materials with special aroma and add them to the jar, the cooked meat will definitely be more delicious, right?"

"That's how it should be!"

Long Bai said: "Since everyone thinks it's good, then we will make corresponding changes in the way we eat in the future. All meat must be cooked in boiling water before eating."

Long Bai then arranged: "Junipei, you and Xiangbai are responsible for finding and collecting materials suitable for adding to the jar to provide flavor to the food. If there is anyone you don't know, you can come to me and ask."

Jue Bai: "Understood!"

Ju Bai asked: "Your Majesty, when will Xiang Bai and Cui Bai come back?"

Long Bai: "The fishing efficiency is low. It is not easy to fully load 50 specialized blue ants. Once the Zhanlan Reservoir is built, I will go there and transport it back in batches."

"eat."

Long Bai greeted, activating his ability to boil the water.

In unison, strips of meat and chunks of meat were thrown into the jar.

Cooked.

Take a moment, I'll grab it with my claws.

Juniper said quietly: "It's delicious when cooked like this, but it's a bit laborious."

Juniper: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!"

You are the stupidest, but you still like to give advice.

Long Bai: "Say."

Juniper: "We can find branches with hooks, punch holes in the meat, hang it on the branches, and then put it in a pot to cook. This way we don't have to work hard to fish it out."

Huh--

Clever idea!

Long Bai immediately ordered: "Jiun Bai, take the worker ants out of the nest and find some branches."

"Okay." Jue Bai led the worker ants to set off.

Long Bai: "When I eat this meat, it doesn't taste as delicious as the one I ate at Black Lotus Lake. I guess it's because the fish is not cooked. Jun Bai, take two blue soldiers down the mountain and go to Beiqian Reservoir to catch two The fish is back."

Juniper: "Uh..."

Juniper: "Okay."

The juniper reluctantly led the soldier ants down the mountain.

Long Bai is an ant king who strives for perfection.

The fish is sent up the mountain, cleaned and thrown into a pot to be boiled. Then other meat is cooked, which tastes better.

Fish meat can improve the quality of soup.

Long Bai also realized other problems. The metal can was too small and the mouth of the can was too narrow.

The solution is simple,

The next day, we went up the mountain to search, picked out the hardest rock, cut off a piece, and polished it into a stone vessel with a diameter of 50 cm and a depth of 15 cm.

It's too bulky and troublesome to clean, but everything else is fine.

Long Bai went up the mountain to look for stones again, and made two large stone pots and placed them outside the cave.

From now on, regular, large-scale hunting will be carried out to provide extra meals to the worker ants and soldier ants, and this new way of eating will be popularized throughout the ant kingdom.
