Astral Ant Tribe

Late spring when the sun starts to shine brightly in the sky.

Citi Hill.

Huang Ya completed all the work in the territory. Under the guidance of the Quandong Sacred Tree, he followed the winding and rugged mountain roads, up and down the mountain, and ran for exercise.

When the throne of control was approaching, Huang Zhan stopped.

"Huang Ke!"

Mo Lan greeted, soared and landed.

"Have you eaten the moon peach fruit?"

"have eaten--"

"How does it feel?"

"It feels good to have more life than you can use up."

Huang Yao stared at Long Bai.

The spiritual power of the Quandong Sacred Tree has also been locked on Long Bai. After scanning it several times, he asked: "Long Bai Ant King, what is the ability of the forest symbiont?"

Long Bai: "Yes!"

Huang Ya immediately raised his paw and asked: "How did you get the fancy colors?"

Mo Lan answered: "You get whatever color you eat leaves. The essence of the forest symbiosis is that the wood element decomposes the leaves and disperses them on the carapace surface and membrane wings. The Zerg warriors form a symbiosis with the plant leaves and obtain them through light. Energy and nutrients.”

Pretty clear answer.

Huang Ya moved his tentacles, "Wonderful ability!"

Quandong Divine Tree asked: "What about the strength of the ability? The energy consumed by every move of the Force Life is very huge."

Long Bai said: "The strength of this ability depends to a large extent on the leaves used. As far as I am concerned, ordinary plant leaves can only sustain my life when I am not moving. If I replace them with leaves of Force plants, , It’s definitely better. I’m thinking, if it were replaced by leaves that surpass the king level..."

Huang Ya and Quandong Sacred Tree understood Long Bai’s intention.

Huang Ya tried to change the topic, "Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, where are you going? When will this year's rough stones be delivered?"

Mo Lan: "I'll come to Citi Mountain to stay with Red Barberry for a while. Long Bai will start transporting rough stones here."

Long Bai: "Quandong Sacred Tree, are you interested in doing a little test?"

Quandong Sacred Tree: "..."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "You can pick off some of the leaves deep in the crown of the tree that are not exposed to sunlight."

"good!"

The dragon cypress flutters its wings and takes off towards the Quandong Sacred Tree.

…

The god-given seed that surpasses the king level is too powerful.

All the ordinary leaves that Long Bai had eaten before were squeezed out, and his whole body turned into a deep dark green color. Even the blue ring pattern on his abdomen was stained with a layer of dark green.

Under the sun, strands of energy and high-level nutrients are continuously produced, integrated into the body, and can even accelerate the absorption of natural force.

Long Bai silently felt and estimated, and soon got the result: the utilization efficiency of light increased by more than ten times, enough to support daily activities. For example, driving the throne to transport rough stones, or directing worker ants to work.

Of course, combat training and strenuous exercise consume a lot of physical energy, so you must eat to supplement it.

In addition, the leaves of the Quandong Sacred Tree have another benefit:

Ordinary leaves will die, which may be months or years, and need to be replenished from time to time.

The leaves of the Quandong Sacred Tree have super strong vitality and will not die and can last a lifetime.

The only shortcoming is that it is all dark green, which is not very beautiful.

Long Bai thought of another question: Can green ants and green soldiers also use the leaves planted by Quandong God?

Long Bai: "Huang Ke, I plan to open a small branch nest in Citi Mountain, and take advantage of the time of transporting rough stones every year to cultivate specialized green ants. I plan to arrange 100 of them in Citi Hill, dedicated to Mo Lan's Red Barberry God-given seeds exert their power of prosperity and promote growth.”

Long Bai enthusiastically suggested, "How about we make the ant nest bigger? Breed more specialized green ants, and we can also arrange life seeds for you and Spruce."

Huang Ke: "..."

How could Huang Ya not understand what Long Bai meant? He turned around and looked at the Quandong Sacred Tree.

Quandong Sacred Tree: "..."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "I rely on the leaves to absorb light to synthesize energy, and absorb the force to transform into original energy. If I lose too many leaves, it will definitely affect the growth of the soul-fixing fruit. Similarly, if I grow new branches and leaves, a lot of raw materials will be consumed. Energy, energy and nutrients will also affect the growth of Soul-Dinging Fruit. A simple test is okay, but cultivating green ants on a large scale to pick my leaves is not worth the gain."

Quandong Sacred Tree: "Longbai Ant King, if you want to collect leaves on a large scale, you can go to Huiqi and Lin Nan to discuss it. The purple linden worm country has a large area and a high concentration of force, so there is no need to consume raw stones to replenish the force. You As long as a certain amount of god-given debris is invested, and the prosperity ability is properly compensated, the loss should be replenished without affecting the flowers and fruits."

Long Bai: "...I understand."

The majesty of the Citizen Sacred Tree cannot be offended.

First exclude the Citizen Sacred Tree.

As for the Linnan Sacred Tree, with its fiery temper, I want to pick its leaves...

This is something that comes with life-threatening consequences...

Instigate Huang Zhan to do it?

Long Bai gave up the idea for the time being, rested for a day, and began to busily travel back and forth between Cedar Mountain and Citi Mountain.

In time to complete this year’s transportation of 4.5 million rough stones before midsummer.

…

…

…

Purple linden country.

The Ruler's Throne carried Mo Lan and Huang Zhan and headed straight to the Citizen Sacred Tree.

Before he could get close, he was intercepted by the Linnan Sacred Tree.

"Eh? Little ant! Stop!"

The spiritual power of Lin Nan's sacred tree surged forward, and he was amazed, "Have you turned green? The aura of that old guy from Quandong! Is this the wood ability called 'Forest Symbiosis' that you mentioned?"

"yes."

Mo Lan helped answer.

Linnan Sacred Tree: "What's the effect?"

Long Bai had no choice but to control the landing of the ruling throne, and walked on foot instead of landing, and at the same time replied:

"It's pretty good. It can basically meet the needs of my daily activities. In the middle of summer when the sunlight is strong, there is even a surplus, and I need to do some strenuous exercise to burn off excess physical energy."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Very good! Very interesting wood ability!"

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "What about your green soldiers and green ants? Have they successfully inherited this ability?"

Long Bai: "Of course."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Then you plan to cultivate specialized green soldiers and green ants on a large scale?"

Long Bai: "Yes. We plan to cultivate specialized green ants on a large scale first."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Not bad. Not bad. You are very good. Little ant, you have to keep your promise and give me one hundred thousand."

What promise?

Did I commit?

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "Then I have to pick your leaves."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "I'm afraid that won't work. It will delay the growth of the sacred Kunlanzi. You can pick the Douglas fir tree. God-given Douglas fir nuts are not so precious, and if production is stopped for a year or two, it is not a big loss. "

The cold mental power of the Citizen Sacred Tree was projected over.

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Just kidding. Little Ant, let me tell you seriously, the specialized green ants are only half-Force beings and do not need the leaves of the Sacred Tree. The leaves planted by the Night Fragrance God are enough, just pick them. "

After all, this Linnan Sacred Tree refused to produce even a single leaf, and kept urging it to pick other trees.

Bad old guy.

Long Bai: "..."

Yexiang is also a divine product after all, and the fruits it produces belong to you, so you definitely can't mess around with them.

Long Bai didn't want to talk and walked quickly towards the Citizen Sacred Tree.

The spiritual power of Lin Nan's sacred tree follows him like a shadow. "Little Ant, you are 8 years old. Should you consider strengthening your water system abilities to prepare for entering the Moran Continent?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Where is the Kejian Beetle?"

Long Bai: "The Ghost Fan will evolve to its 9th age at the end of this autumn."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "The evolution of the little mantis and the mountain ball mantis is a bit slow."

Long Bai: "Mo Lan is not in a hurry. He will leave in thirty years. Bai Fan is not slow at all. He will be 7 years old soon."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "How is your divine orchid? Is it blooming?"

Long Bai: "It bloomed. But there are no fruits left. If it blooms this winter, I will consider keeping the fruits."

Linnan Sacred Tree: "Little Katydu, what are you doing here in the Purple Linden Bug Country?"

Huang Ya: "I will stay here and learn from the Citizen Sacred Tree. The spruce will be guarded by the Citizen Tree. We will exchange it back in the fall."

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Wisdom is innate. Being a worm and doing things depends on talent and self-understanding. The Citizen Sacred Tree has nothing to teach you. A strong body and powerful strength can be obtained through acquired training. Come here and I will teach you..."

"Okay~Okay~Okay~"

Huang Ya agreed perfunctorily, quickened his pace and ran away.

Long Bai and his entourage came to the foot of the Citizen Sacred Tree.

All the things that were originally planned to be reported to the Citizen Sacred Tree were asked by Lin Nan Sacred Tree.

After chatting for a while, we visited Yexiang, Zilin, Jinhe...

Long Bai didn't have anything else to do when he came to the purple linden country this time. The main thing was to send Mo Lan over.

Mo Lan guarded the seed given by the god Bai Bo.

Long Bai returned to Molan Mountain to guard.

The god-given seed of Erwang Molan is a three-fold divided plant. After all the divided plants grow, a soul consciousness is born. It has a character similar to Nanqian's: irritable, greedy, and stupid.

Long Bai tried to educate and guide slowly, but with little success.

…

The dry season in midsummer this year is not obvious and there are few things going on.

Long Bai fulfilled his promise and arranged for Heiti to go to Qinghong Kiwi Mountain to help Qingma and Hongma reclaim wasteland.

…

It's late autumn.

After half a year, the first batch of six specialized green ants finally emerged.

Long Bai put them in pairs and divided them into three groups for testing.

The first group uses cypress leaves to activate the ‘forest symbiont’ ability.

The second group used spinach.

He flew to Citi Mountain urgently and asked for some leaves from the Quandong Sacred Tree for use by the two specialized green ants in the third group.

Long Bai issued an order to let three groups of 6 specialized green ants eat and drink enough to adjust their state to the best. They released their prosperity ability twice in a row to exhaust their power, then lined up in a row, and the light returned.

The two specialized green ants in the third group recovered to full status in just one day.

The first and second groups recovered particularly slowly without eating.

Keep observing,

The two specialized green ants in the second group were the first to regain their physical fitness after 5 days.

The two specialized green ants in the first group regained their physical strength after 13 days.

Long Bai has been observing the use of light by various plants, and found that the humble low-level herbaceous plant Amaranth uses light most efficiently.

From practical testing, the results are consistent.

The first and second groups of specialized green ants only recovered their physical fitness, but their physical condition was not optimal and they still needed to eat a small amount of meat.

However, compared to the previous specialized green ants that had not mastered the ability of 'forest symbiosis', their demand for meat food was reduced by 80 to 90%.

The Molan Mountain is divided into nests, and new specialized green ants are emerging one after another.

There is a second test.

Long Bai noticed very early that the seeds of many plants could replace meat to a certain extent.

Long Bai arranged for all specialized green ants to use spiny amaranth to activate the 'forest symbiont' ability. After releasing their prosperity ability, while the light was restored, they ate ant honey brewed from various plant seeds to assist in their recovery.

Comparative observations.

It was quickly discovered that the specialized green ants that ate legumes recovered the fastest.

Ant honey refined from the seeds of Qianshan vetch planted on a large scale under orchards can very well help the specialized green ants recover.

The food problem of specialized green ants has been solved, and we can safely and boldly cultivate them on a large scale.
