Astral Ant Tribe

In the ant kingdom, there are insurmountable class divisions.

Strictly speaking, there are only two classes: queen ants and common ants

Intelligent ants and gigantic ants are the natural abilities given to the ant race by the God of Nature after evolving the life force of the Force.

Therefore, in the ant kingdom at the life level of the Force, there are three distinct class divisions: the ant king, the command ant (assistant king), and the ordinary ants.

The Ant King has unlimited evolutionary potential and is the absolute ruler of the kingdom.

Commander ants only have limited evolutionary potential and can only command the corresponding type of ordinary ants.

Ordinary ants cannot evolve. They obey orders, follow instructions, and spend their short lives busy.

Classes cannot be crossed. This is a law set by nature.

Long Bai suspected that he was in a trance and heard wrongly.

"evolution?"

"evolution."

"Heiti?"

"Heiti."

"Did you feed it Force food?"

"Ordinary Force food won't work, so I need black lotus seeds."

"Black Lotus Seed?!"

Long Bai controlled the throne to accelerate and landed directly on the ant nest on the hillside.

Heiti was commanding the worker ants in a dignified manner, clearing weeds on the hillside.

But looking at the work progress, you can tell that during his absence, this guy didn't work seriously for even a day.

Heiti himself was also busy, pretending that it was just like that. He just noticed that the throne of rulership had landed, raised his head, and then trotted forward in a panic.

"Your Majesty——"

"I'm working!"

"I didn't notice you coming."

Heiti waved his tentacles and clearly expressed a series of information.

Its size plummeted from the original 90 centimeters to about 80 centimeters.

The body size has not increased but decreased, but the texture of the carapace has been significantly improved.

If you observe carefully, the biggest change should be the antennae, which have evolved from the original 6 sections to 7 sections, making them more agile and flexible.

The force fluctuations on his body have also changed slightly. The aura fluctuations of the advanced specialized worker ants are mixed with traces of the force fluctuations of intelligent ants and giant ants.

"Heiti, have you evolved?" Long Bai asked.

"Evolve through shedding." Heiti replied nervously.

"Heiti? Your Majesty, have you given it a name?" Cui Bai beside Long Bai waved his tentacles and asked Heiti:

"Are you the guy who always leads the team to be lazy?"

Heiti: "...not me."

Long Bai: "Stop sophistry, it's you!"

Heiti: "..."

Cuibai: "My lord, whip it!"

Long Bai waved his tentacles, signaling Cui Bai to be quiet. He stared at Heiti, considered, and asked, "Heiti, are you using black lotus seeds to evolve?"

Heiti: "Yes."

Long Bai: "What about ordinary Force food?"

Heiti: "It was inedible before evolution. After evolution... it can be eaten, but most of it has escaped and only a small part can be absorbed."

"oh--"

Long Bai gently touched his tentacles and roughly understood.

Heiti is currently in the process of evolving through molting, leaping from a specialized worker ant to a command ant that has both the functions of an intelligent ant and a giant ant.

Long Bai also had many questions in his mind.

What are the specific strengthening effects of black lotus seeds?

Does the black lotus seed only work on a special guy like Heiti? Or is it effective for all specialized worker ants?

It should only be effective for special beings like Heiti.

Heiti is special in that it is smarter than other specialized worker ants and can command worker ants, soldier ants, blue ants, and blue soldiers just like the king ant. This is what makes it most unique.

So, is Heiti's special existence an example of a small probability mutation? Or can it be cultivated in a specific way?

Regarding this question, Long Bai has already begun to try. There are 7 specialized worker ant larvae in the Pandan Mountain ant nest. Long Bai used pheromones to stimulate the differentiation of intelligent worker ants and giant soldier ants.

As we continue to cultivate and observe carefully, we will have the answer in the coming spring.

The command abilities of intelligent ants and giant ants have inherent limitations. If this limitation can be broken, they will play a huge role in the development of other Force Points in the future.

For example, in the next land reclamation in Nanzizao Mountain, a large-scale branch nest must be opened and the ant colony will be stationed all year round. It is necessary to send an intelligent worker ant to lead the worker ants to be responsible for the management of the territory, and to send a giant soldier ant to lead the soldier ants to take charge of the territory. Security and hunting.

Two command ants need to be sent over so that Long Bai, the ant king, can stop worrying at all.

But if it were replaced by a 'multifunctional command ant' like Heiti, then only one would be enough.

Long Bai has recently been worried about not having enough command ants and not being able to allocate so many resources to cultivate them.

"Bai Liu, your Black Lotus Life Seed doesn't produce much, right?"

"Yes."

"Did you give the rest to Hei?"

"Give it all."

"……Understood."

Long Bai put down the board and gave the order.

"Cuibai, you lead the ant colony and rest in the temporary ant nest here for the night, and then start fishing tomorrow morning."

"I understand, Your Majesty!"

Cuibai agreed and directed the ant colony to walk towards the ground in formation.

"Heiti, you stay with Cuibai to help, command the worker ants to divide the harvest, and command the blue ants to refine and store it."

"Okay. Your Majesty." Heiti agreed.

Long Bai: "If you are lazy again, Cui Bai will teach you a lesson."

Heiti: "I'm not lazy..."

…

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain overnight.

There are still 54 black lotus seeds left in the warehouse where the ant nest stores Force food, which are reserved for Mo Lan. He is busy in Hanlan Mountain, so he kept them.

Shannan Restaurant.

Long Bai took out the thing, peeled off one and ate it first, then calmed down and felt it carefully.

The force goes to the brain, and the strengthening effect is in the brain, but it is completely impossible to distinguish the type of strengthening effect.

——There used to be a Zerg tribe living in Black Lotus Lake, cultivating and breeding high-quality tree species such as Black Lotus, White Willow, and Maple Poplar. Among them, the black lotus is the most valuable, and it is most likely an existence at the same level as the 'Liufengshan Liudaomu'.

——The special strengthening effect of black lotus seeds, coupled with the special mutation of Heiti, the two special conditions combined to break through the shackles of the laws of nature?

——There are also Liudaozi and Ghost Fan in the warehouse. These two Force foods work on the brain. One strengthens the soul and the other strengthens mental power. Are they useful for Heiti's evolution?

Long Bai thought for a long time and entered the incubation room first to supplement the development-stimulating pheromones for the seven individually cultivated specialized worker ant larvae, and release a little extra pheromones to stimulate the development of 'giant ants' and 'intelligent ants'.

Observe the changes.

At present, there is no obvious difference from the larvae of ordinary specialized chemical worker ants.

I'll watch it later, but I don't have high expectations anymore.

Long Bai entered the warehouse, took out all the black lotus seeds, took 20 each of Liudaozi and Ghost Fan, put them into a bag, and placed them on the throne of control.

Then mobilize 20 special blue soldiers, 20 large blue soldiers, 50 special blue ants, and 30 large blue ants, and set off for Black Lotus Lake.

…

Cuibai worked hard, commanding 60 specialized blue soldiers, 60 large blue soldiers, and surrounded the lake with fish groups.

This guy Heiti directed two medium-sized worker ants to climb the tree and was carefully pruning the fruit branches of the white willow tree.

Bai Liu stood aside, watching with fear and anxiety.

"Longbai Ant King——"

Bai Liu came up to us and explained with some trepidation: "The fish haven't been replenished yet, so Heiti can help me prune the fruit branches."

"...I know." Long Bai: "Bai Liu, just give Hei a few black lotus seeds as reward later."

"Okay! I'll give them all to Heiti!"

Bai Liu happily agreed. He performed two difficult volley rolls, flapped his wings, lifted off vertically, flew to the distant lake, and hovered above the head of the green cypress.

Cuibai looked towards the shore and saw the throne of control. He immediately ordered the blue soldiers to line up and run towards the shore.

Long Bai put down the wooden board and gave the order. The blue soldiers and blue ants he brought this time lined up and walked towards the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Heiti walked forward anxiously and greeted Long Bai.

"You've never been so diligent when working on Xianglan Mountain!" Long Bai scolded him angrily, shaking his tentacles to signal him to come forward.

He scanned his mental energy and asked, "You also have a training period for shedding your shell and evolving, right?"

Heiti was confused, "——I don't know."

Long Bai picked up the bag of spider silk, opened it, twisted a six-dao seed, peeled the shell, and peeled out the kernel inside. After thinking about it, he cut it with his toe tip and separated out a third of it, handed it to Heiti, and said :

"Try eating some of this."

Heiti: "..."

Heiti did as he was told.

Long Bai's mental power covered Heiti's whole body, and he carefully sensed the fluctuations in the force.

Soon, subtle wisps of original energy escaped from Heiti's forehead.

Long Bai: "How much original energy has been absorbed?"

Heiti: "Less than one fifth."

Long Bai: "It can absorb Force food reinforcement, but the efficiency is extremely low."

Heiti: "Yes. Your Majesty."

Long Bai clicked his tentacles, peeled off another ghost fan, and still took only one-third of the kernel, giving it to Heiti to try.

Still so.

Finally, Long Bai peeled off a black lotus seed and handed it whole to Heiti to eat.

The effect of the black lotus seeds is remarkable. Only a small amount of the original energy escapes, and most of it is absorbed by Heiti's brain.

There is no need to try any more, only black lotus seeds have a significant effect on Heiti's evolution!

"King?"

Cui Bai came ashore and greeted with a confused spirit.

It doesn't like Heiti very much.

The five command ants in Xianglan Mountain all dislike Heiti, a guy who can trick other ants into lazing around.

"It's okay. Cui Bai, you have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Come over and rest for a while."

Long Bai handed the spider silk bag to Cui Bai and said: "Give Hei the black lotus seeds, one a day, eat them slowly. You and Bai Liu should divide the Liu Dao Zi and Ghost Fan."
