Astral Ant Tribe

"Nanqian."

"Long Bai, where did you go?"

"North. Mo Lan and I went looking for raw stone veins."

"Raw stone veins?"

"It's a big mountain that has produced a lot of rough stones, and a lot of rough stones can be dug out."

"Oh! Did you find it?"

"No--"

"Oh~"

Nan Qian rejects life in the Force, but has no feelings for the green maple and red maple on the throne.

Both of them are too small and weak to be worth mentioning.

"Long Bai, what kind of insects are they?"

"Little beetle warrior."

"What did you catch them for?"

"They were discovered by Mo Lan and I in a force place called 'White Lotus Lake'. We plan to make them stronger and arrange a place to survive. When they become stronger, they can join the trade circle of Yunji Continent."

"Oh!" Nan Qian said happily: "You are finally smart for once. You and Mo Lan should protect and train the little warriors, and also mobilize other warriors to cultivate more little warriors. Only when the insect population increases, can your trade expand and you can Earn more rough diamonds.”

Haha~

Want you to teach?

Long Bai ignored it and controlled the throne to fly low in the sky to inspect the fruits of Nanqian.

It's growing well, and it should be the same as beetroot, which matures in winter.

"Nanqian, do you need top dressing?"

"I need the rough stone."

"There are no more rough stones."

"Where are the rough stones you earned from trading?"

"They have all been replaced with valuable Force food and stored in storage. They can only be cashed in the year after tomorrow."

"How much have you stocked up?"

"not much--"

"You rest. I will arrange accommodation for the two young warriors first." Long Bai controlled the throne to rise into the air and float towards the mountains.

The noisy green maple and red maple suddenly became quiet.

"What's wrong?" Long Bai asked.

Qingmae: "I'm so envious."

Hong Ma: "When will I be as rich as Long Bai Ant King?"

Qingmae: "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in my lifetime."

Hong Ma: "Yes. I envy the dead insects."

These two...

The little warrior who can survive in the wild has some skills.

Mo Lan, who was waiting not far away, fluttered her wings into the sky and landed on the throne.

"Long Bai, where do they live?"

"Let's stay at Shannan Restaurant first. Find a piece of dead wood and dig a tree hole to make a nest for them."

"Where's the Force food?"

"The cedar is directing the blue ants to refine the ant honey."

Long Bai took the two little guys around the mountain territory and arranged accommodation.

evening.

Mo Lan came back from hunting a wild boar.

Juniper hunted hares, pheasants, squirrels, snakes, crabs, and other game.

Cuibai caught fish from the reservoir.

The cedar instructs the worker ants to boil the soup and cut the ingredients.

Green Maple and Red Maple huddled together in the corner of the restaurant, their four tentacles buzzing.

——What are they doing?

——I just said they are very cruel.

——Are you preparing to eat?

——Obvious.

——What a ferocious way of eating.

——They are ants after all.

——Will it eat us?

——Probably not. After all, we are still so young and don’t have much meat.

"What are you two afraid of?" Mo Lan was displeased and scolded, taking two wooden dishes and placing them in front of a blue ant filled with Force Ant Honey.

The blue ants understood and spit a little ant honey on each wooden plate.

Mo Lan: "Are you hungry? Try the Force Ant Honey."

Green Maple and Red Maple waved their tentacles to sense it, stepped forward, and tasted it.

So sweet.

It is too sweet.

Unappetizing.

However, it is indeed Force food!

The two guys buried their heads in licking.

Mo Lan took two pieces of pork heart, hung them on a branch with a hook, and put them in a stone pot to cook.

"This is delicious. Eat more of it. Dip it in ant honey and eat it."

Qingmae: "I don't eat meat."

Red maple: "Beetles eat trees."

Long Bai couldn't help but point out: "After evolving force life, tree fruits alone cannot provide the energy and nutrients needed for evolution. I have also visited several long-horned tribes in the Ten Thousand Races Continent, and their little warriors come and go every now and then. It is necessary to supplement the meat diet once. As the level of evolution increases, it gradually switches to meat-based diet, supplemented by fresh fruits and branches. "

"oh--"

"sharp--"

Green Maple and Red Maple seemed to understand but not understand each other, instinctively rejecting, and perfunctory admiration.

Hong Ma was more courageous and tried to tear off some shredded meat and dip it in the force ant honey to taste it.

"Hey! It's not sweet anymore."

"Where's the taste?"

"It doesn't taste bad."

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Try it yourself."

…

Before the ingredients were prepared, the two little guys started eating first. Under Mo Lan's close gaze, they reluctantly finished the two pieces of meat.

Long Bai made a rule that every time he returned from a trip, everyone would get together and have a sumptuous dinner.

Juniper, juniper, giant cypress, incense cypress, and emerald cypress reported on the status of the territory. If there were any problems, we discussed how to solve them. If there were no problems, we discussed the next development and development of the territory together.

It lasted from early evening until late at night.

A hole-punched tree trunk is placed in Shannan Restaurant, and Qingmao and Red Maple live inside.

Mo Lan was worried about them and stayed at Shannan Restaurant.

The next day.

Mo Lan took the two little ones around and showed them the various orchids she planted.

Long Bai patrolled the mountains and inspected the progress of territory construction.

The ditches leading from Shanxi Reservoir to Nanqian and Beiqian Reservoirs have been dug.

Juniper is leading the ant colony to reclaim wasteland on some cliff slopes. Long Bai and Mo Lan asked the owner of Qiye Mountain for 100 purple-fruited kiwi seeds. The seedlings have grown in the nursery. They will be pruned in late autumn and transplanted in early spring of the next year. They will bloom and bear fruit that year.

The next step is to build the Shandong Reservoir.

Then more nurseries need to be cultivated to prepare for large-scale breeding, large-scale reclamation of wasteland, and the construction of orchards.

In the Longbai plan, every inch of land in Xianglan Mountain must be fully utilized. The mountains and hills are filled with cypress trees and various top fruit trees in the mainland.

Long Bai's ambitions go far beyond that.

In the future, Nanjuozao Mountain, Molan Mountain, Jianlan Plain and even Bailian Lake and Black Lotus Lake will be planted with various top-notch plants.

Through large-scale cultivation, we can obtain top-level God-given seeds in a targeted manner.

…

Long Bai has always attached great importance to the combat power of the Ant Kingdom.

After a spring and summer of cultivation, there are currently 112 advanced-level specialized soldier ants and 103 large-scale soldier ants.

There are 63 soldier ant larvae in the ant nest.

The number of high-level soldier ants is far from enough, not even enough to garrison the mountain fortress on the west side of the mountain range.

Continue to cultivate.

The number of advanced specialized soldier ants and large soldier ants must be at least over a thousand.

As the number of soldier ants increases, the supporting blue ants must also increase appropriately.

The number of fishing blue soldiers and working worker ants also needs to be replenished appropriately.

This will take at least two to three years to complete.

The rate at which the Dominion Throne produces ant eggs is still too slow.

…

…

…

The two little guys, Qing Ma and Hong Ma, were very lively and smart. They found that Mo Lan was easy to talk to, so they followed Mo Lan every step of the way.

Mo Lan took them around to collect wild fruits.

Young warriors grow up very quickly.

Half a month later,

After eating less than 200 raw stones of force food, Green Maple and Red Maple fell asleep and evolved once with the help of the Dominion Throne.

For the junior beetle warriors in the 3rd instar, Long Bai chose purple-fruited kiwi fruit as their destiny seed for the next instar.

They can evolve to 4 instars in winter.

It can evolve to 5th instar next spring.

When two 5-year-old beetle warriors team up, their survivability will be greatly improved.

In order to avoid duplication of Force food, I will have to ask the caravan for some other types of top-level plant seeds next year.

Longbai and Molan, as well as other insects in Yunji Continent, all have this need.

…

"Green maple. Red maple."

"Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"..."

Long Bai: "Mo Lan and I are going to the south for business, and you guys stay in the mountains?"

Qing Ma and Hong Ma looked at each other, then turned to look at Mo Lan.

——Mo Lan, are you going to Feiguang Mountain too?

——Help that Nine-Star Cockroach Warrior evolve?

——Take me with you.

-Take me with you!

- We can help!

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai and said leisurely: "There are soldier ants everywhere on the mountain and down the mountain. They are all fierce. It is not safe for the green maple and red maple to stay in Xianglan Mountain. Take them with you."

Longhorn beetles gnaw on trees, and common longhorned beetles are orchard pests and the focus of ant colonies.

Long Bai was also worried that the two of them were running around and being accidentally killed by the soldier ants, so he simply said: "Okay! Let's see the scenery of the south together."
