Astral Ant Tribe

In the quiet winter, Longbai is busy moving the ant colonies from South Ziziphus Mountain to Red juniper Mountain.

Winter passes and spring comes.

Xianglan Mountain has entered a low-level state of martial law.

In the royal palace deep in the ant nest, Juniper lies on the throne of dominance, resting, recuperating, eating the force ant honey, and brewing evolution.

Heiye led a group of soldier ants to guard the entrance of the cave.

This spring has been a bit busy.

Cedars and junipers are directing worker ants to sow the seeds of chickweed and vetch in the orchards.

After a year of cultivation and observation, it was basically confirmed that these two plants are indeed as described by Nandi and will not have any impact on the growth of fruit trees.

Chickweed is a magical plant. Their life cycle is extremely short. They sow seeds in autumn, grow vigorously in winter, and produce seeds in early spring. A crop can still grow in spring, the seeds will mature in early summer, and wither in mid-summer.

Qianshan vetch is an annual herbaceous plant. It takes root and sprouts in spring, flourishes in summer, and the pods ripen in winter.

Promote cultivation throughout the Xianglan Mountains, observe for another year, and confirm that it is correct, and then promote it to orchards in all places of the Force next spring.

…

Under the orchard of Zhanlan Reservoir,

Zhanlan and Longbai together directed the ant colony, dividing the ants into areas, sowing the grass seeds collected last autumn.

Last year, while traveling around the continent, Long Bai collected 11 alfalfa varieties including alfalfa, alfalfa, alfalfa, alfalfa, and alfalfa.

In inherited memory, there is only one species of chicory, which can be found all over the world. During the search and collection process, Long Bai discovered that chicory distributed in different regions has obvious differences due to climate and environment.

Various samples were collected, and they were roughly classified into four types, named native chicory, giant chicory, white-flowered chicory, and blue-flowered chicory.

These grass seeds collected in the wild will be tried to be planted for one year first, and then the seeds will be optimized based on the situation.

Long Bai was busy, his soul jumped, and if he felt something, he activated his soul-fixing ability, and Mo Lan stood under the black and yellow god-given seeds.

"Your Majesty. Are the black and yellow flowers blooming?"

"It flowers early."

"Are you going to keep the fruit this year?"

"I kept 20 bunches and 300 fruits. I first tested its flowering and fruiting cycle and fruit quality."

"oh--"

Mo Lan: "I thought you were busy in the past few days and didn't pay attention to Heihuang. Okay. It's okay."

Information exchange is interrupted.

Long Bai: "..."

The soul-fixing ability is easy to use, but not easy to use. If Mo Lan has something to do, just harass him...

Long Bai did not put away his ability immediately, but used remote sensing to observe Mo Lan's actions.

It quickly made a judgment and planted orchids on the hills where the black and yellow divine seeds took root.

Long Bai was speechless again.

…

dusk,

Just as he was about to call it a day after a busy day, waves of force fluctuations came from the mountain.

Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability, and upon sensing it, it was confirmed that Juniper had begun its sleep evolution.

It flutters its wings and takes off, returning to the nest to check.

No big deal.

Compared with serious Zerg warriors, it is much easier for King Zuo to break through the evolutionary mountain master level.

The fluctuations in the Force lasted for half the night and then subsided.

Long Bai called Yin Bai over and arranged for it and Black Impeller to be on duty.

Only five days later,

Violent force fluctuations came from the mountain, and the evolution of juniper reached its final stage.

Long Bai, who was busy in the mountains, returned to the mountains to check.

"Your Majesty——"

Black Leaf, surrounded by soldier ants, ran out of the cave.

"Your Majesty, is the juniper okay?"

Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability induction and said: "The soul's state is stable, no problem, and it will wake up soon."

Long Bai: "Hei Ye, you go to the branch nest at the foot of the mountain to eat something and take a rest. I'll guard it."

"Okay. Your Majesty."

Heiye led the soldier ants down the mountain.

Sensing the movement, ink orchids, giant cypresses, silver cypresses, juniper cypresses, and fragrant cypresses came one after another and stood guard outside the entrance of the ant nest.

The violent force fluctuations lasted for a while and then gradually subsided.

In response to the soul-fixing ability, Juniper awakens from its slumber.

Long Bai took the lead and the group trotted outside the cave.

After waiting for a while,

Long Bai spread out his mental power and swept it away.

The juniper successfully shed its old shell, and its body size increased dramatically. Its body length was fixed at just over 3 meters, with a huge head and super-developed hooked jaws, occupying about a quarter of the total length, including the plastron and middle hind leg greaves. It has spikes and is ferocious.

Long Bai turned around and said, "It's done!"

There was a bang.

Yinbai opened the metal door panel blocking the hole with one claw and rushed in first.

Long Bai and Mo Lan followed closely behind.

"Juniper?"

Mo Lan tried to greet him with his mental power.

"The second king?"

Juniper responded with mental strength.

King Zuo derived spiritual power after evolving to the Mountain Lord level.

Juniper can also use mental power to communicate.

"Your Majesty!"

Juniper greeted Long Bai with spiritual power.

"Wow!"

Mo Lan jumped and cheered.

Xianglan Mountain finally has a third insect, a bug that can communicate.

After spending so many years together, we can finally communicate.

"Juniper, are you hungry?"

Mo Lan asked.

Juniper: "A little hungry."

Juniper was so proud that he turned around and waved his tentacles, "Junier, go help grab some food and bring it back. Let's have a banquet to celebrate tonight."

Ju Bai looked at Long Bai and saw that the king had no intention of waving his tentacles to teach him a lesson. He gave Jun Bai a threatening look and turned to leave.

Mo Lan followed happily and ran out.

Juniper led the blue ants into the cave, climbed up the wooden board to the throne, fed Juniper, and replenished his physical strength urgently.

After eating, Long Bai saw that Juniper had regained some strength, and immediately greeted him out of the cave, and together they came to the blue reservoir at the foot of the mountain.

"Cypress? Is this juniper?"

Azure asked.

Long Bai: "Yes. Juniper successfully evolved to the Mountain Lord level and derived spiritual power."

Juniper tried to convey the message mentally: "Azure?"

Zhanlan: "Hello~"

Juniper: "Oh!"

Juniper stretched his legs and said, "I was a little hungry when I first evolved. Azure, I want to catch some of your frogs to eat."

Zhan Lan was anxious: "No!"

Juniper: "Don't be so stingy."

Zhanlan: "Longbai!"

Long Bai raised his claws to hold down Juniper, and swung his tentacles continuously.

Then we were led to Nanqian Reservoir.

Long Bai: "Southern Gorgon, this is juniper."

Nan Qian: "I recognize it."

Long Bai looked at Juniper.

Juniper behaved himself and tried to call out: "Nan Gorgon? I am Juniper."

Nan Qian said impatiently: "I recognize you. You are a stupid guy."

Juniper: "..."

Juniper can also communicate with Dragon Cypress's divine seed.

Juniper can do it, so giant cypress, green cypress, juniper, and incense cypress can definitely do it after they evolve to the Mountain Lord level.

From now on, Long Bai, the ant king, became more relaxed about the management of the God-given seeds.

"okay."

Long Bai greeted: "Nanqian, please rest. Juniper, follow me to Heihuang's place and say hello to him."

…

The key point is still the communication between King Zuo and Zhanlan!

Nowadays, Zhanlan can be regarded as an important labor force in Xianglan Mountain, but after all, it is just a tree and cannot move by itself. The scope of commanding the ant colony is limited to the range of its own mental power, which has many inconveniences.

After the command ants evolve to the mountain master level, they can also communicate with Zhan Lan.

This is much more convenient.

…

The first mountain master-level commander of the Xianglan Mountain Ant Kingdom held a grand banquet at night to celebrate.

Eat and drink enough.

Seeing that Juniper had recovered to some extent, Long Bai asked, "Juniper, has the ability to awaken?"

Juniper thought for a moment, shook his tentacles, and at the same time used the ant tribe's information communication method and the general mental power communication method to answer: "Yes!"

Juniper: "I have obtained your power-based 'split' ability, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he raised his front foot and concentrated his original energy on his toes.

He retracted his paws, buried his head in thought, raised his head, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, look!"

After saying that, the original energy gathered in both jaws.

"Your Majesty, I can also use my jaw teeth to release the 'severing' ability."

"good!"

Long Bai moved his tentacles and was very satisfied.

King Zuo evolves to the Mountain Lord level and has the opportunity to inherit the abilities of the Ant King.

Juniper inherited a strength-based talent and was a combat-type command ant. He ate all kinds of high-quality force food at the advanced stage, and it was a matter of course for him to awaken his 'split' ability.

Juniper can do it, and giant cypress will definitely do it too.

Cuibai has mastered the water system ability, so he will definitely be able to do it.

Mo Lan: "Is it Jubai's turn next?"

Long Bai: "Yes. Eat well and rest for the night. We will start tomorrow morning."

…

After spending some time, Jubai and Cuibai successfully broke through the mountain master level.

After detailed testing, Long Bai had a clear idea.

King Zuo only spends half the resources of the Ant King to grow and evolve, and its ability strength is only half of the Ant King.

Moreover, according to the inheritance memory description, King Zuo only has a chance to inherit the abilities of the Ant King when he evolves to the Mountain Lord level. If he wants to obtain more abilities in the future, he can only understand them through his own evolution and growth.

In the same way,

Since King Zuo only consumes half of the Force food equivalent to King Ant during his evolution and growth, it is ten times more difficult to realize abilities independently than King Ant.

Of course, if King Zuo wants to master more abilities, there is a shortcut: use the divine fruits that grant abilities.

When resources become abundant in the future, it is not something that cannot be considered.

The fate of King Zuo and King Ant is one. If King Zuo is strong, the King of Ants will be strong.
