Astral Ant Tribe

Among insects, there is a very small probability of giving birth to 'Insect Warriors' at the life level of the Force. They have a unique organ called a 'life sac', which can gestate an ordinary plant seed into a 'life seed' at each evolutionary age. '.

The seeds of life are sown as Force plants, and when they grow and bear fruit, they are Force food, which can promote the growth and evolution of Zerg warriors.

Different life species bred by the Zerg, as well as different plant species, all have different additional strengthening effects.

Various strengthening effects are superimposed, giving Zerg warriors powerful abilities.

The life of the Zerg warriors can be said to be at stake.

Under normal circumstances, junior warriors will sow seeds under the protection of high-level warriors of the same race.

Ant tribe is slightly different from other insect tribes.

If there is a high-level ant king of the same clan to protect you, you can send a team of fighting soldier ants to help guard it, and you can even send worker ants to help loosen the soil and fertilize.

If the female ant king is not protected by a high-level ant king, she can still lay eggs and develop the ant colony, direct the management of the ant colony and protect the species, and can survive the weak stage relatively safely.

Long Bai is a lonely male ant king, and he can only rely on himself for everything.

But Long Bai was very smart, and he spotted a large cluster of red thorn vines on the nearby hillside before choosing the planting site.

Use both jaws to cut branches with stingers and prepare them by drying them in advance.

…

After the rain, the sky is clear, and it is a warm and moist spring.

Long Bai followed the example of the Watase Flame Spider clan and polished the stone wall of the nest flat. Every day and night that passed, he carved a stroke on the stone wall.

Four days later, Long Bai removed the small rocks on top.

On the fifth day, juniper seeds broke through the ground first, and juniper and dragon cypress sprouted bud tips one after another.

The survival challenge has just begun.

The seeds in the bud stage are the most fragile. A flying bird flapping its wings and landing, or a running animal may inadvertently cause an irreparable fatal blow to them.

At this time, the previously cut branches of the red thorn vine were also dried and half-dried. The dragon cypress began to cut for the second time, cutting off the dead leaves and cutting them into strips of about 20 centimeters in length.

The talent of the ant clan is strength. Long Bai is also the junior ant king of the fourth age. He can lift objects hundreds of times his own weight. He gave up some effort and built a hexagonal thorn vine around the three life seed seedlings. fence.

The seedlings planted by fate grow taller day by day.

The dragon cypress kept cutting red thorn vines, drying them, carrying them, building them, and even tied them with tough hay leaves to reinforce them, constantly making the fortifications bigger and taller.

It took shape quickly.

Birds will not land on the thorn vines, and animals will not dare to pass by here.

The hillside is lush with vegetation, and there are always various small insects visiting it. The hunting range of the dragon cypress is fixed nearby, and it can also use the cover of vine thorns to avoid various predators.

A month later, the originally lush red thorn vine was cut down, leaving only seven thick trunks and some sporadic new spring shoots.

The three seeds of life passed through the most fragile bud stage safely and grew into seedlings with a height of more than 10 centimeters.

Not only is the Force thin here, but the soil on the slopes is not fertile enough.

Long cypress frequently hunts all small insects that intrude into its territory, digs holes around cypress seedlings, buries them, and composts them.

Time flies by one month.

It’s hot summer.

The three seedlings have grown to a height of about 20 centimeters and have taken root here.

Luo Jin guided Long Bai to choose cypress as his life seed, which was quite satisfactory.

Cypress is a plant with strong vitality and strong environmental adaptability. It is not picky about the soil, is drought-tolerant and easy to survive. As a tree, it has huge potential for future growth.

But the shortcomings are equally obvious, that is, the growth rate is slow, and it takes 2 to 3 years of operation to initially grow, bear fruit for the first time, and start to produce force fruits. It takes more than 5 years of operation to have a decent output.

If there is an ant king of the same species to protect it and provide Force food to help grow, cypress trees are undoubtedly an excellent choice.

However, but...

Long Bai is now the 4th instar junior ant king, a stage that should have evolved rapidly, but due to the thin force of the environment and the lack of raw stone and force food supply, his growth has almost stagnated.

The average life span of primary ant kings is only about 15 years, and male ants may be even shorter.

When you are over 8 years old, you begin to enter the aging period, and evolution becomes more difficult every year.

It has been nearly half a year since Long Bai entered the 4th age stage.

——If you cannot evolve in time, cannot gestate the fourth Life Seed, and do not sow a sufficient number of Life Seeds early, the territory will not be able to produce enough Force food.

——Without enough Force food, subsequent evolution will be even more difficult.

——While surviving independently, you must also consider growth. Otherwise, you will fall into a vicious cycle of being unable to evolve in time because of poverty, and becoming even poorer because you are unable to evolve in time, and eventually die early.

——The concentration of the Force is higher at the exit of the starship. I can consider living there permanently, absorbing the natural Force, and advancing to the fifth age as soon as possible.

Long Bai looked at the red thorn vines that were growing lushly again under the scorching sun, thinking about it and making a plan.

…

After a heavy rainstorm, the sun seemed to rise a little higher in the sky.

Autumn is crisp.

There is a tall nan tree in the territory.

When planting the cypress, consider using its branches and leaves to block the scorching summer sun.

Now that summer has passed, and the three cypress trees have also passed the fragile seedling stage, this nan tree has become a competitor for sunlight and nutrients.

The dragon cypress bites with both jaws, cutting around the main trunk of the nan tree, peeling off its bark bit by bit, destroying the phloem, and cutting off the screen tubes that transport water and nutrients.

Under the autumn sun, the phoebe trees wither quickly.

After a night of wind and rain, leaves fell everywhere.

Late autumn.

The three cypress seedlings have grown to a height of more than 30 centimeters and are no longer so fragile.

The dragon cypress worked tirelessly to cut the red thorn vines and expand the defense around the three cypress trees.

Once again, cut the red thorn vine down to only 7 main branches.

There are also circles of thorn vines surrounding the three cypress trees, forming a continuous line.

——There should be no danger.

——If there is, it is not something that my current strength can stop.

Long Bai held up the spider silk bag and left the territory.

…

The entire starship is made of a raw metal.

This metal is as light as a feather, but extremely hard and tough. After thousands of years, only the paint coating on the surface has peeled off, and its metal parts have not deteriorated at all.

According to Luo Li, even the Insect King who has awakened his metal ability needs to expend a lot of effort to cause very little damage.

The exit of the starship at the Cloud Trail Continent is a flat tearing surface. This side should have landed when it fell to the ground. The violent collision caused the fracture to deform.

At the beginning, a large pit was probably created in the earth. After a long time, it was buried by the soil and formed a raised hill.

Today, the hills are covered with various plants, but because the mud is not deep enough, the trees cannot grow and grow. Most of them are weeds and low shrubs.

Long Bai hid at the exit of the starship to rest at night, and during the day he started collecting food for the winter.

Small insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, etc. are hunted near the entrance of the cave, cut and dried into dried meat, and stored in spider silk bags.

In the golden season of late autumn, various insects will die of old age or be frozen to death by the cold air at night. In many cases, there is no need to hunt them and they can just be picked up for free.

Within a few days, my pocket was full.

Enough food for the winter.

Suddenly having nothing to do, Long Bai, who had been used to being busy all day long for the past six months, felt a little uncomfortable.

After taking some time off, I suddenly realized that I was alone now.

After wandering anxiously around the entrance of the cave for two days, Long Bai finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and explored a place in the starship where there were no signposts.

The level setting in this book basically follows that of "Astral Cockroach", which is the primary ant king, the intermediate ant king, the advanced ant king, the mountain lord level ant king, the lord level ant king, and the insect king level ant king.

"Lord" replaces "prince" in cockroach.
