Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai had not eaten for six or seven days and was so hungry that he hunted a half-sized wild boar cub and brought it back to the cave.

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, when did you come here?"

Long Bai: "Of course according to the agreed time."

"oh--"

Mo Lan: "Is it raining over there? I encountered three heavy rains here in Molan Mountain, and there was almost a flood."

Long Bai: "Yes. There has been a lot of rain this year. There were two heavy rains in Xianglan Mountain, and there was another light rain the day before I came here."

Mo Lan: "Oh! It's a rare good year."

"Yes."

Long Bai asked: "Mo Lan, why did you evolve into a deep sleep before I came over? This is too dangerous."

Mo Lan: "I felt that I was going to evolve several days in advance. I made some preparations and braced myself to wait for two days. I thought you were coming, but I couldn't hold on any longer, so I fell asleep."

"What if I am delayed and fail to arrive in time?" Long Bai observed the cave.

The silk bag was empty.

Mo Lan had eaten up all his Force food.

The force food worth 2,000 raw stones saved Mo Lan about half a year.

Quite a deal.

The silk bag was empty, so the search was definitely fruitless.

If there were any gains, Mo Lan would have said so already.

No need to ask more.

Keep your head down and concentrate on eating.

Mo Lan talked a lot and asked: "Long Bai, how is the digging of the pond going?"

Long Bai said depressedly: "It didn't go well. The second large pond was flooded twice and stranded. I was digging the third pond planned in the south, and it was also flooded once. I had no choice but to We need to dig a drainage channel for it first, and we just finished digging it.”

"That's so unlucky..."

Mo Lan wanted to laugh, but suddenly became anxious again and urged: "Long Bai, eat quickly. Leave after eating. I miss home."

"good!"

Long Bai didn't worry about the territory either. After eating, he took control of the throne and headed back.

…

"Mo Lan, are the torreya seeds delicious?"

On the way, Long Bai asked questions.

Mo Lan: "It's delicious~"

Mo Lan: "I only remember how delicious it was, I even forgot what it tasted like."

Long Bai: "I have 10 more over there. I'll give you 5 when I get back."

Give me some benefits first,

Long Bai then expressed his thoughts and said: "I only sowed 8 of the 10 green torreya seeds Luo Qiu gave me last year, leaving 2. When I was promoted to the 9th age, I used 1 and returned it. There is only one left, Mo Lan, you can use it as a life seed."

Mo Lan: "No need, right? The growth of green torreya trees is too slow. Orchid grass is better..."

Long Bai: "We don't lack the output of an ordinary orchid plant now."

Long Bai: "Just like the big-fruited hemlock, let's sow seeds together. The two trees are next to each other, and I usually direct the worker ants to take care of them for you."

Mo Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then happily agreed: "Okay!"

…

…

…

The ruling throne is close to Xianglan Mountain and falls directly towards the small pond.

"Azure...huh?"

Long Bai said hello, and then his spirit condensed.

On the first broad leaf of the azure god-given seed, squatting were four little frogs that had just shed their tails.

"Wow!"

Molan noticed the presence of the frog at the same time, exclaimed and shouted:

"Longbai, frog! Quick! Kill them!"

"Mo Lan, don't worry!"

"Be careful of damaging the azure leaves."

Long Bai controlled the throne and slowly approached.

A confusing and questioning mental thought came from Zhanlan.

"Long Bai, what's wrong?"

Long Bai: "It's okay, Azure... A few frogs climbed on you, I'll drive them away."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were afraid of hurting the blue leaves and did not dare to act rashly.

As the ruling throne approached, the four little frogs became alert, jumped into the pond, and swam towards the shore.

The mental power swept over and there were still five or six hiding in the grass beside the pond.

What annoyed Long Bai was that the 12 soldier ants guarding the area turned a blind eye to the frog's existence.

How come you guys haven't starved to death after being away for so many days?

Long Bai waved his tentacles and gave the soldier ants hunting orders.

Zhan Lan felt Long Bai's murderous intention and asked anxiously: "Long Bai, do you want to kill the frog?"

Roncy: "Yes. They'll trample your leaves."

Zhanlan: "No way..."

Zhan Lan: "Does Mo Lan not like them?"

Long Bai waved his tentacles.

The soldier ants who were about to take action stopped.

Long Bai lowered his head and pondered, then raised his head and said solemnly as never before: "Mo Lan! I understand."

Mo Lan was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "What do you understand?"

Long Bai: "I understand why the creator civilization perished."

Mo Lan: "Huh?"

Mo Lan was stunned again, and followed Long Bai's words and asked, "Why?"

Long Bai: "The creator civilization should be a pure water-based race. Their nature is as soft as water. When other civilizations prepare to destroy it, it will be destroyed."

Mo Lan thought for a moment and asked, "What does that have to do with these nasty frogs?"

Long Bai said: "Zhanlan is different from the god-given seeds of our natural gods. Its nature is gentle and kind. Zhanlan asked me not to kill these little frogs."

Cymbidium:"……"

What do you want to say after a long time? Mo Lan said angrily: "The little frog will grow into a big frog, and the big frog will trample the leaves by jumping around!"

Long Bai: "Let's talk about it when we grow up. Zhanlan watched them turn from tadpoles to frogs, and it was really not good for me to kill them in front of them."

Mo Lan turned her head angrily, her thoughts began to change rapidly, and she came up with some ideas:

"Long Bai, I have a way! These frogs hide in the pond grass and eat bugs, right? You let the worker ants cut the grass. Without grass, there will be no bugs. Without bugs, these frogs will naturally leave, and then..."

What a cruel mantis~

"OK……"

Long Bai reluctantly agreed vaguely, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Mo Lan, you haven't been back to the territory for 23 days. Go and see the fruit orchid."

…

…

…

Send Mo Lan away.

Long Bai stayed by the pond, the more he thought about it, the stranger it became.

There are grasslands and dense forests on both sides of the river ditch, and there is abundant food. The 12 specialized soldier ants guarding the small pond hunt for themselves and eat whatever they catch.

Why didn't they hunt the frogs that were so close?

Long Bai controlled the throne to rise, suspended at a high place, not disturbing the specialized soldier ants, and silently observed them.

A discovery was made two days later,

Every morning and evening, the specialized soldier ants form groups to look for food at regular intervals, searching everywhere. When they go to other places, they will not hunt frogs if they encounter them, and even let toads go.

They used to eat very happily, but this situation must have only happened recently.

Why?

Long Bai thought of Zhan Lan.

"Zhanlan, can you command the specialized soldier ants?"

"cannot……"

"Then why do the soldier ants guarding the area no longer hunt frogs?"

"I kept repeating with my mental power to stop them from hurting the frogs, and they stopped hurting the frogs..."

"Psychic power?" Long Bai asked.

"Yes." Zhanlan replied affirmatively.

How can this be?

Worker ants and soldier ants are 'replicas' without souls and independent consciousness, and have no spiritual power.

How is it possible to communicate with the ant colony through mental power?

Long Bai turned his head and immediately used his mental power to give a "come here" command to a special chemical worker ant not far away.

The specialized soldier ants were keenly aware of the fluctuations in mental power and looked at Long Bai blankly, motionless.

Long Bai repeated.

no response.

Repeat again.

The specialized soldier ants simply ignored Long Bai.

Sure enough, it doesn’t work.

There are only two ways for the ant king to command the ant colony:

The first is a short-range pheromone signal command, which has stronger control;

The second type is that the tentacles release invisible signal fluctuations to issue instructions, which are released over a long distance.

Worker ants and soldier ants have no independent consciousness, no mental power, cannot use mental power to communicate, and naturally cannot use mental power to issue instructions.

"Zhanlan, is this your ability? Mental power to control other lives?"

"ability?"

A confused and confused mental power wave came from Zhanlan.

Long Bai: "Zhan Lan, can you control the frogs so that they don't jump into the pond?"

Zhanlan: "I don't know..."

Long Bai: "Try it!"

"OK."

Zhanlan agreed.

Start trying.

After trying for a long time, there was no response.

Several small frogs hunted small insects in the grass. After eating, they jumped into the pond, jumped on the blue leaves, and squatted on the leaves to rest contentedly.

Frogs are ordinary life forms and cannot detect spiritual power at all.

Long Bai suddenly had a guess:

——The ant colony is cultivated by the ‘messenger’ produced by the Dominion Throne.

——Zhan Lan was reborn through the Throne of Control.

——Because of the relationship with the throne?

——It would be great if Zhan Lan could control the ant colony and let him direct the digging of the pond!

Long Bai waved his tentacles and summoned all the worker ants resting in the hills in the distance and gathered next to the small pond.

"Zhan Lan, try using your mental power to command the worker ants and let them dig the pond over there."

"OK."

Zhanlan repeatedly released his mental power and released the message "Hurry and dig a pond".

Repeated several times, the worker ants gradually became restless and ran around in a daze.

"Zhan Lan, it's okay... let's forget it. You can't command them."

Long Bai gave up directly.

Zhan Lan can indeed make the ant colony move through mental power, but the effect is too slow and requires constant repetition. It is completely unable to achieve precise command and cannot perform slightly complicated work.

In the future, Zhan Lan will grow into a towering tree and his spiritual power will grow stronger, maybe it will work.
