Astral Ant Tribe

This year, only one God-given seed of Nango has matured fruit. However, there are many kinds of seeds on the mountain and down the mountain. Starting from autumn, they will mature and be harvested one after another. They need to be guarded by commanding ants and soldiers.

Green cypresses guard the 'green flowers and cold orchids God-given seeds' every step of the way.

The soldier ants, led by the giant cypress, guard the hillside where the purple-fruited kiwi seeds have taken root.

The ruling throne slowly approached.

"Your Majesty——"

Jucypress greeted.

"Giant Cypress."

Long Bai stopped the throne and asked in a solemn tone: "Is there not enough food on the mountain?"

Ju Bai: "Ji Bai said that in the hunting area you divided, there are fewer and fewer animals, and the hunting harvest is getting smaller and smaller each time. There has been very little hunting in the past half month, and everyone has begun to eat vegetarian food."

Long Bai: "..."

Sure enough!

Currently, the number of advanced specialized soldier ants alone in the ant nest has reached 600.

The number of advanced specialized worker ants is about 200.

The number of advanced specialized blue ants reached 280.

There are also 100 specialized blue soldiers.

These big guys, which are over a meter long, consume a lot of food every day.

Long Bai has been expanding his hunting range following the growth of the ant kingdom.

At present, Longbai has divided juniper into two hunting areas. The mountain range extending to the west of the divine barrier is used as the boundary, dividing the north and the south. They can hunt in the south and north respectively, with a distance of no more than 20 kilometers, and they can only hunt within 20 kilometers. March along the river.

Long Bai had never dared to significantly expand his hunting range, fearing that he would be discovered by the ants or bees from the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent.

Nowadays, there is not enough food to eat, which means that the scale of the ant country is large enough and the strength of the ant country is not weak.

In this case, then...

"Understood."

Long Bai said: "Ji Bai, just arrange more soldier ants to guard here. You and Jun Bai will go hunting in the mountains with me to examine the terrain."

"Your Majesty!" Xiangbai rushed over surrounded by worker ants.

Long Bai turned back and said: "Xiang Bai, I told Jun Bai just now that we would hold a banquet in the evening... The ant nest lacks food, so the banquet will be postponed for a few days. I will take Jun Bai and Giant Cypress on a hunting trip to familiarize themselves with the northern terrain."

…

Long Bai had been paying attention to the kingdom's food problems and knew that there would be food shortages, but he did not expect that they would come so quickly.

However, Long Bai had already planned a solution.

In the vast jungle, life flourishes.

Jungle hunting is still the main source of food for the current Pandan Mountain Kingdom.

When all the animals in an area are hunted, animals from other areas will naturally migrate to fill the gap and prosper again.

However, animals take time to migrate, reproduce and grow, and this time is usually measured in years.

Food can severely limit the size of an ant colony.

This is a problem faced by all ant and bee kingdoms, and there is a law of balance.

The purely carnivorous ant tribe has strong individual combat power, but it is difficult to grow in numbers.

Omnivorous ants have weak individual combat power, but the same area of ​​territory can usually support a larger number of soldier ants, winning by sheer numbers.

Giant-headed ants are an omnivorous ant tribe that prefers carnivores. They are the most versatile ant race with the most types of soldier ants and worker ants. The specialized soldier ants have powerful individual combat capabilities.

Because of the ruling throne, Long Bai's ant kingdom has further expanded its food choices and ant type differentiation.

The worker ants and soldier ants who inherited the power talent of Long Cypress obviously prefer carnivorous food. They also eat fruit, rice, lotus seeds, cypress seeds, pine nuts and other refined ant honey, but they don't like it and eat less.

The blue ants and blue soldiers who inherited the water element talent of Longbai are slightly better. They are not so picky eaters. They eat meat when they have it, and they can remain vegetarian for a long time without meat.

Long Bai thought of three ways to obtain food stably:

The first one is to fully open the divine barrier area. Develop and build transit nests to the south and north to greatly expand the hunting range.

The second one is to cultivate fruit trees on a large scale. In addition to satisfying the 'Force Honey' trade, it also provides food for the ant colony and offsets the demand for meat.

The third one is fish farming and fishing in reservoirs and lakes. Currently, we go to Black Lotus Lake for fishing regularly every year. In the future, we may also consider going to White Lotus Lake for fishing regularly.

Every inch of land in Xianglan Mountain is precious. It is impossible to build large reservoirs and raise too many fish. The current fish farming in several reservoirs can only be used as emergency supplement.

The carrying capacity of the Throne of Control is limited, and the fish in the natural lakes are also limited. Fishing from far away can only be used as a supplement and cannot become the main source of food.

The main source of food still lies in hunting in the forest.

If you fully open the jungle hunting area close to the divine power barrier, you have to worry about encountering the ants or bees from the neighboring continent of nations.

But the ant country continues to develop, and it has become somewhat unbearable...

…

Dragon cypress greets juniper and giant cypress, leading 400 specialized soldier ants, 400 large soldier ants, 30 specialized worker ants, 90 medium-sized worker ants, 50 large worker ants, and 100 fasting specialized blue ants. Set off.

Long Bai ran at the front of the team.

The giant cypress has a habit of cowering and hiding in the middle of the group.

Juniper ran at the rear of the group to hold down the formation.

Rushing on the road, marching close to the divine barrier, all the way north, all the way to the entrance hill to the starship wreckage leading to the Wanzu Continent.

stop!

Long Bai waved his tentacles vigorously and issued instructions.

The Ant King's powerful information transmission ability caused the entire team to stop in unison.

Feeling the strong force that continued to overflow, both Juniper and Giant Cypress understood where this place was and rushed forward.

"Your Majesty!"

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Junipers and giant cypresses look expectantly at the dragon cypress.

"Follow up."

Long Bai led them through the mud hole and stopped at the crack of the starship wreckage.

Juniper ran forward to compare, and was immediately disappointed.

At present, the juniper's body length has reached over 1.4 meters, and its head is too big to fit through.

Jubai was smarter. Once he saw the height of the crack, he gave up trying. He lowered his body and looked inside the starship with novelty.

Long Bai: "Mo Lan and I searched the inside of the starship two or three times. It was looted after tens of thousands of years, leaving only an empty shell."

Long Bai: "In the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent opposite, except for the relatively high concentration of the Force in all places, everything else is similar to ours. In fact, most places are far less wealthy than our Xianglan Mountain."

Long Bai: "There are not many Force Points in Yunji Continent, but there are also quite a few, and the Force concentration of each Force Point is at an upper-medium level. In the future, when the ant country is strong enough, we no longer have to worry about being attacked by the ants or bees next door. The clan has invaded, I will take you around to increase your knowledge."

Long Bai: "However, now, our ant country's strength is still insufficient and we need to be cautious... With the development of the ant country and the increase in the number of ant colonies, we have to open up hunting areas and hunt food from farther away."

Jubai stood up and said, "I understand, Your Majesty."

Juniper asked: "Your Majesty, why did you bring us here..."

Long Bai: "Build a branch nest here as a resting station for transporting prey. From now on, you can hunt as far north as this place."

Long Bai warned: "Old rules. Don't come here in winter and spring. Hunt more in summer and autumn, and store enough food in the ant nest."

Junipers and giant cypresses flick their antennae in understanding.

Long Bai: "Every time I go hunting, the Juniper and the Giant Cypress must work together, and the total number of soldier ants they lead must not be less than 800. At present, the number of soldier ants in the kingdom is still insufficient, and I will continue to cultivate it until the total number of soldiers is More than 2,000."

Juniper and giant cypress stare at each other.

Jubai: "Your Majesty, Juniper and I are leaving Fanglan Mountain? For such a long hunting trip, we must have enough harvest every time, right? It may take three to five days, or even longer."

Juniper: "Who will be responsible for the safety of Xianglan Mountain? Cuiper? Cuiper is also responsible for irrigation, killing orchard pests, territory security patrols, etc. Wouldn't it be exhausted to death?"

Long Bai led the way and walked out. As he walked, he said: "I will cultivate another giant blue soldier!"

Juniper looked at Giant Cypress.

The juniper raised his head and pretended not to notice the juniper looking at him.

Juniper gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty...if a god-given seed is born again...50% of the proceeds will be divided into the heads of the 6 command ants...they can't be separated."

Long Bai: "Then 60% of the profit. Mo Lan and I only account for 40% of the profit."

Juniper: "Okay! I agree!"

Long Bai turned his head suddenly and waved his tentacles wildly: I still need your consent to do things?
