Astral Ant Tribe

A warm and breezy evening.

By the Black Lotus Lake.

10 specialized blue soldiers took turns using the boiling water ability on the stone pot to boil the beef bones.

Heiti directed the worker ants to slice the plump beef, hang it on a wooden stick with a hook, and put it into the pot to cook it.

Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Bai Liu sat around the pot, each with two wooden plates made from the remains of the god-given seed of the king-level mulberry tree in front of them.

The wooden dish is round in shape, about 20 centimeters in diameter, and beautifully carved with patterns of insects and bluegrass.

A wooden dish contains ice cubes mixed with fresh water, ant honey, and fresh fruits.

A wooden dish contains mellow ant honey mixed with meat and dried fruits. The cooked meat slices are dipped in ant honey and eaten.

This is a new way of eating that Lone Pine has recently improved and is suitable for summer.

Eat a piping hot piece of meat.

Take a lick of ice.

One hot, one cold, one fragrant, one sweet, indescribably comfortable.

Bai Liu was indescribably happy.

After repeated inquiries and confirmation, Heiti will stay in Black Lotus Lake from now on, at least until the reclamation and construction of Black Lotus Lake are completed.

"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, where are you going next? Or are you going to the southeast coast to look for rough stones?" Bai Liu asked.

"That's right! Long Bai, what should we do next?" Mo Lan suddenly realized and asked.

Mo Lan then sighed: "There seems to be a lot of things, but they are not urgent, and there seems to be nothing to do."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Let's go to the area between the southwestern region and the southeastern coast to look for it first."

Mo Lan: "What are you looking for? Shuo Jin?"

Long Bai: "Search from south to north in a zigzag line, looking for the place of the Force. Along the way, we dug up the remains of the three tribes that once owned the Shining Gold."

Mo Lan: "...I feel...I can't find anything good...you can do whatever you want..."

…

Mo Lan said that if you can't dig it out, then you can't dig it out.

Sure enough, I didn't find it.

…

Time flies.

The plain forest stretches as far as the eye can see.

Heavy rain continued all day and night.

The large reservoir was obviously dug by the Zerg. The water overflowed the embankment, forming a turbid flood in the river below, roaring away.

Under the morning sun,

A rainbow hangs above Gray Fox Mountain.

The throne of domination rests on the top of a mountain.

Long Bai and Mo Lan were lying on the throne, looking at the rainbow in the sky in trance.

It was easy to find the entrance to the ruins here, but unfortunately, there were still only the remains of the god-given seeds in the treasure house.

The seed slough given by God is very useful. It can make the plant grow vigorously, permanently strengthen it, and increase the yield by 10% to 30%.

But there's no way to sell this thing. If you find more of it, it won't be precious at all.

"Long Bai, do you want to continue searching north?"

"certainly."

"Going further north will enter the area due east of Yunji Continent that you divided, right?"

"almost."

"Ye Xiang's God-given Seed said that of the 10 tribes that possess Shining Gold, 5 of them are located in the Zhengdong area."

"dig up and take a look."

The late summer sunshine is still fierce.

The water vapor rises and the rainbow quickly disappears.

"The beautiful scenery is fleeting, just like this insect." Mo Lan sighed deeply and looked away.

Long Bai didn't say anything, and his thoughts turned. The throne of control rose vertically into the sky, and headed eastward in a zigzag line.

Mo Lan stood up and stood on the edge of the tree stump ant nest, staring at the forest sea below. She looked at it for a while, bored. Then she jumped on the top of the throne's backrest, turned around and looked behind, distracted by boredom.

In the morning when the golden sun hangs slanting in the sky,

Mo Lan suddenly got excited, raised her paw and pointed towards the north, and said calmly:

"Long Bai. Force fluctuations."

"It's a bit of a discovery."

Long Bai muttered, steering the throne of control, and soon felt the fluctuations in the force.

At noon, close to the place of the Force.

Ahead are vast mountains and forests.

Throne of Dominance slows down.

Long Bai: "The land of force here is not big. Can we just go there?"

Mo Lan: "Just go there."

The Dominion Throne accelerated, climbed slightly higher into the sky, and broke into the land of the Force.

"Long Bai——"

"The fluctuation of the God-given seed?"

Mo Lan, who was originally a little careless and didn't have high hopes, suddenly cheered up and landed on the top of the tree stump ant nest. She lay on the edge and looked down.

Long Bai also had a vague feeling and directly controlled the descent of the throne. Look for it in the direction of the force fluctuations.

Soon, a towering tree appeared in view.

There are also Force fluctuations from ordinary Force plants around.

It's strange that there are as many as 16 trees in number, but their breath is so weak that it's almost undetectable.

——Could they be two Zerg warriors with a very low level of evolution?

——Not quite~

The flight altitude of the Throne of Control dropped again, heading straight towards the God-given Seed.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was actually a cypress tree!

Slender flat leaves, bark light reddish brown.

Red juniper tree!

A type of cypress tree, belonging to the Hinoki family.

Large trees and ordinary red junipers can grow to a height of fifty or sixty meters. Like the dragon cypress, the strengthening effect is the strength system. It is a natural top-level plant, and it is a plant that is not available in the Mainland of Ten Thousand Nations and the Mainland of Ten Thousand Nations.

A red cypress tree with a height of more than 100 meters is a god-given seed!

"That's not right~" Mo Lan was confused.

"Something's wrong~" Long Bai controlled the throne to move closer, suspended it from the top of the tree, and took a closer look.

There are fluctuations in mental power, with a strong sense of sadness.

Not a wild god-given species.

In extremely poor condition, on the verge of death.

As if infected by the emotion given by the red cypress god, Mo Lan suddenly felt sad.

Mo Lan: "...I know."

Mo Lan: "This is a life-giving seed given by the gods... Its warrior... is dead... and it is about to die."

Long Bai: "It seems so..."

Long Bai looked around, controlled the throne to fly, and approached a Mucuna plant not far away.

There are three main vines, the thickest one reaching 30 cm in diameter, winding up the hillside and about 50 meters in length.

No injuries were sustained.

The branches and leaves are withered and yellow, their vitality is weak, and they are about to die.

About fifty meters away, there is a hinoki cypress tree. The whole plant is yellow and lifeless.

This is the way plants die.

Their warriors are dead.

Fettered by fate, the plant of fate follows death.

The ruling throne climbed upwards, looking and searching from above.

"Long Bai——"

Mo Lan raised her paw and pointed lightly.

On the mountainside in the distance, under the cliff, among the weeds, there is a vague cave entrance.

Long Bai controlled the throne to fly closer, stopped at the entrance of the cave, and scanned it with his mental power.

Deep in the cave,

A beetle corpse with a chubby body, over one meter long, and a metallic iridescent carapace.

The right antennae drooped to the ground, and the left antennae fell off at the tubercle.

Long Bai waved his tentacles and sniffed, but did not catch any peculiar smell. He sighed softly: "I have been dead for two or three years."

This time is also consistent with the status of the plants outside.

Those with weak vitality have withered away, while those with strong vitality are on the verge of death.

Molan was silent.

Long Bai deployed his mental power, scanned it and said, "The rainbow walking bug is a 2nd or 3rd instar advanced warrior and will die of old age naturally."

"Longbai, the red juniper god-given seed is still alive..."

"Alive."

"Is there any way to save it?"

"……No."

"Use your brain and think of a solution." Mo Lan said sadly.

"..." Long Bai used his brain to think.

All life in the Force has a soul.

There is a soul bond between the life species and the Zerg warriors.

When the warrior dies, the already weak souls of ordinary life species are severely damaged, and they will soon collapse and the plants will die.

The god-given seed has a strong soul, but its bond with the Zerg warriors is also deeper. If the warrior dies, the god-given seed will die.

This is hopeless, just struggling for a few more years.
