Astral Ant Tribe

The Dominion Throne took a detour and flew to Baifan Mountain, searching for the place of the Force along the way.

After the transaction was completed, we took a detour back to Xianglan Mountain to unload and replenish the goods.

The seeds of Ghost Fan will mature this autumn.

Long Bai took 1,000 rough stones and then took a detour to Ghost Fan Mountain for trading.

Going around and around, a month passed.

I spent most of my time wandering around the central part of the 'southwestern region of Yunji Continent' divided by Long Bai, and found nothing.

Long Bai and Mo Lan came to Feiguang Mountain again.

Before the throne of rulership had settled firmly, Qing Ma and Hong Ma flew forward, flapped their wings, took off, and landed.

--Cymbidium!

——Longbai Ant King!

——You are finally here!

——We are going to evolve.

Qingmae: "I'll come first!"

Hong Ma: "Me first!"

Qingmae: "Last time it was you who went first, this time it's my turn!"

Hongmae: "It was you last time, now it's my turn."

"Don't make any noise!"

Seeing the two guys arguing and about to fight, Long Bai waved his tentacles and slapped one of them, saying:

"Qing Ma, last time it was you first. This time it's Hong Ma's turn."

Long Bai scolded: "Go down. Go down. Both of you go down. Remove the ant nest first."

Mo Lan waved her tentacles to drive him away, then jumped off the throne.

"Longbai Ant King. Mo Lan."

Sang also came over.

After a brief greeting, we first moved the large bags of goods collected from Ghost Fan Mountain into the cave and unloaded the tree stump ant nests.

Hong Ma went up first, and after eating some Force Ant Honey, he fell into a deep sleep and evolved.

Woke up after only 2 days.

Qingmao can be easily completed in only 2 days.

For 6-year-old junior beetle warriors, Red Maple chooses Long Cypress as their life seed, and Green Maple chooses Kuili as their life seed to strengthen their strength and muscle strength respectively. They can eat together and produce and sell themselves.

"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, are you leaving again?" Sang was a little reluctant, waving his tentacles and pointing at the green maple and red maple.

"Let them stay with me."

Mo Lan: "That's not okay!"

Long Bai: "They are not young anymore. It's time to learn to manage their own territory."

Green Maple and Red Maple looked at each other, torn between wanting to stay here and play, but worrying about their lives growing the plants.

Long Bai's tentacles flapped, "Don't wait any longer, pack your things and get on the road!"

…

…

…

midsummer.

Cui Bai and Xiang Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain to manage their territory.

Mo Lan stayed in Kiwi Mountain, taking care of the two little ones, Green Maple and Red Maple, and began to teach them various tips on territory management and plant management that they did not have in their inherited memories.

The dragon cypress remained in Xianglan Mountain, and the juniper, juniper, and giant cypress successively shed their shells and evolved using the auxiliary function of the ruling throne.

The resources required for the growth of intelligent ants and giant ants are about 50% to 60% of that of king ants. It is best to keep the evolutionary interval of each instar in the intermediate stage at more than half a year. Cedar and emerald cypress need to wait a while to evolve.

It's midsummer.

The junipers and giant cypresses take turns, regularly leading the soldier ants out of the nest to patrol, and arranging replacement shifts for the soldier ants guarding the planted plants.

Cuibai leads the blue soldiers to transport water for irrigation every evening with water-type abilities.

When it's cool in the morning and evening, juniper cypress and incense cedar lead worker ants out to dig ditches or clean up wasteland in the mountains and forests.

It just rained a few days ago.

This year's dry season is not obvious, and there is not much to do on the mountain or down the mountain. The five juniper trees are quite leisurely, and they spend most of their time resting in the ant nest.

Long Bai, the ant king, had nothing to do. When he was bored, he made wooden hangtags of 'original honey' that could not be used up in two or three years.

There is really nothing to do...

At the entrance restaurant of Shannan Ant Nest, Long Bai spent a whole day sketching the map of the 'Southwestern Region of Yunji Continent' on the stone wall, calculating the distance, and finally circled a few unexplored blank areas.

A rough estimate is that only about one-fifth of the area is left.

Long Bai thought about it and decided to go alone.

…

Thin clouds sweep away, and the scorching sun burns the sky.

The black carapace absorbs heat exceptionally well.

Long Bai folded a large number of taro leaves and spread them on the stump ant nest, and also covered himself with two layers.

The ruling throne flies close to the ground, rising and falling with the mountains and landscapes.

Compared to the heat, Long Bai could not bear the loneliness of being alone and being without anything for a long time.

noon time,

The throne rests in a secluded canyon.

Long Bai fluttered his wings and took off, looked around, caught a python and threw it on the ant nest, shook his tentacles, and gave instructions to the worker ants to eat and rest.

Then he came to the cliff, raised his front feet, and briefly carved, marked, and calculated silently on the smooth stone wall.

Eat and rest.

At dusk, the ruler's throne rose into the sky, and he set out in the right direction.

At midnight with the bright moon in the sky, the ruling throne once again stopped to rest.

In the early morning when the sky was dim and bright, we set out on the road.

The golden sunlight gradually became fierce. Long Bai was staring down, preparing to pick some large leaves to cover the ant nest on the stump. His heart suddenly moved, his antennae stood upright, and he concentrated on sensing.

The force fluctuates!

Southeast direction.

——Finally made a discovery!

Long Bai thought for a while, controlled the throne to descend, and found a big shady tree to rest on.

prey.

Eat and drink enough.

Have a peaceful sleep.

It wasn't until sunset that he took off and flew away in the direction of the fluctuations of the force.

In the middle of the night, close to the place of the Force.

Long Bai searched everywhere, parked the throne on a natural lake, fluttered his wings and flew into the sky to investigate.

A fixed exploration process.

First, conduct a high-altitude reconnaissance to confirm that there are no wild God-given seeds.

Below is the rolling hills and hills, with a towering mountain and streams.

We lowered our altitude and searched quickly, but unfortunately, no Force plants were found.

There's a high probability that it's nothing.

Long Bai flew over at low altitude and searched carefully.

By noon the next day, it was basically established that it was a place of force with a diameter of 5 to 6 kilometers, centered on the majestic mountain.

It is confirmed that there is no Force life.

Add another unclaimed land.

I have found similar blank places a lot, so I am used to it, and Long Bai is not disappointed.

Return to the natural lake, drive the throne to the foot of the majestic mountain, and stop in the shade beside the stream.

Boards were set up and instructions were given: the blue ants went down to fetch water and humidified and cooled the stump ant nest; the worker ants and soldier ants could go to the ground and walk around the throne.

Long Bai himself wandered around the mountains and forests leisurely, inspecting the mountains, soil, animals and plants.

There are a lot of wild fruits here, and a large area of ​​the rare 'Waterfall Strawberry' was found on the mountain, which is very suitable for refining and making ant honey with a 'fresh fruity fragrance' flavor.

You can come here to pick a batch in autumn and find a place to plant them in Pandan Mountain next year. You can consider spending time on seed selection and optimization, or hybridize to obtain high-quality plants with larger and sweeter fruits.

Strawberry is a plant species with a very good fragrance and is worth the time and effort to try.

If the 'Force Honey' cooperation with Bai Wei goes well, it will earn more raw stones every year than a god-given seed.

Longbai has the idea to continuously optimize various flavors and fragrances and make this business more refined and stable, which requires more types of high-quality fruits.

Continuing to search, I soon found a kind of ‘black grape’ to my surprise.

Grapes are large vines and are very popular and delicious fruits. There are many tribes specializing in cultivating grapes in Wanzu Continent. Long Bai is very sure that there is no such cultivation there.

There should be none in the Wan Guo Continent next door.

As a Life Seed, Heiti Grape produces Force Food with the strengthening effect of water elemental ability strengthening. It can be considered a satisfactory and mid-level variety.

Tribes that specialize in cultivating grapes, as well as those Zerg warriors who like grapes, will definitely be happy to spend rough stones to buy seeds.

In the past, Long Bai would have considered selling the seeds to Flame Spider Travelers in exchange for rough stones.

Now, if there is no shortage of that rough stone, it can be cultivated as a unique specialty of Pandan Mountain and sold only in the form of 'honey'.

--good! This trip was not without success.

Long Bai returned to the river valley at the foot of the mountain.

Be prepared to spend two days carefully inspecting this place and looking for valuable plantings.

When the black grapes are ripe, workers and blue ants can also be arranged to pick and refine the ant honey.

It shakes its tentacles to attract worker ants and soldier ants walking nearby to return to the nest.

He retracted the wooden board, raised the throne from the ground, and was about to set off to the place where he discovered the black grapes. Under the river ditch, a special chemical ant emerged, shaking its tentacles desperately: Your Majesty, wait for me!

"you again……"

Long Bai was speechless.

Long Bai recognized this guy.

A special worker ant that was bred when it first evolved into a high-level ant king. It is very clever and can be lazy at work. From the time he emerged as an adult to the present, this guy has never done any serious work for a day. He often confuses other worker ants and leads them to be lazy.

Therefore, Long Bai singled it out as a negative representative and gave it special care. He took it with him on a summer trip to explore the hard work of killing ants in the sun.

——What is this guy doing over there?

——How about pretending not to see it and throwing away this burden?

Long Bai hesitated for a moment, feeling a little unable to bear it. He controlled the throne to descend, stopped, fluttered its wings and took off. In a flash, he grabbed the stragglers and returned, throwing them on the cushions of the throne. He slapped his tentacles to teach him a lesson and ordered him to return quickly. nest.

However, this specialized chemical worker ant kept releasing innocent pheromones and refused to return to its nest. Its tentacles swayed and pointed at the bottom of the river ditch, sending a vague message: Dig! dig! dig……

Digging you!

I ask you to dig a reservoir, but you are lazy every day!

Long Bai waved his tentacles and hit his forehead with two more whips, controlling the throne to slowly lift off the ground.

The special chemical worker ants still refused to return to their nest. In a panic, they jumped off the throne and ran towards the bottom of the river ditch.

Halfway through, he turned back and shook his tentacles vigorously to greet: King! dig!

"Huh?"

Long Bai suddenly realized something was wrong.

Did this guy dig something down there?

He landed the throne of control on the ground again, flapped his wings and took off, landing directly in the river ditch below.

Next to the stream, under the boulder, a puddle was dug, revealing a corner of silver-white metal fragments.

——Starship wreckage!

——It recognizes the extraordinaryness of the thing, and it is digging this!

Long Bai stared at it carefully, scanned it mentally, walked around behind the boulder, pushed hard, and directly pushed away the stone with a diameter of more than one meter.

It's just a flat piece of debris.

With a thickness of less than three centimeters, the materials used for the partitions of some unimportant rooms in the starship are worthless.

but,

There's a piece scattered here, does that mean a lot fell nearby?

This place of the Force is not simple!

This special chemical worker ant also looks a little different. How did it recognize the wreckage of the starship? I definitely don’t know it, but I realize it’s valuable!

"Come here!" Long Bai waved his tentacles to greet him.

The special chemical worker ant stepped forward.

Long Bai: "The king gives you an official name: Heiti."

Long Bai: "From today on, you have a name. Your name is Heiti."

Long Bai set up a wooden plank and waved his tentacles to greet him.

The accompanying 10 large soldier ants and 20 large worker ants came out of the nest one after another and came to the ground.

Long Bai's tentacles pointed at Heiti and gave the order: "Follow it! Listen to its command."

Long Bai: "Heiti, take them down the river and look for them again."

"Okay -" Heiti reluctantly led the team to set off.

Long Bai went in the opposite direction, following the mountain stream and looking for the mountain.
