Astral Ant Tribe

evening.

When the sun sets below the horizon, the ant colonies scattered in the island jungle call it a day and return to their nests on time.

…

Long Bai and Mo Lan did not dare to be careless, and waited patiently until late at night before setting off, finding the right location, looking at the wind direction, and putting away the throne.

"Mo Lan, be careful to hold your breath and don't leave any smell."

Long Bai warned.

"I know!"

Mo Lan said confidently: "When it comes to concealing aura, the mantis warrior is ten thousand times better than the ant."

Ants have an extremely keen sense of smell, and they may pick up the odor residue of their breath.

However, ants should not be able to fly...

So far, the soul-fixing ability has only found ants...

Long Bai and Mo Lan were not very afraid, so they held their breath and quietly landed on the island.

Mo Lan led the way, following the fluctuations of the force, and walked quickly.

After crossing the mountains and ridges, we came to an orchard cultivated on a slope.

Row by row, fruit trees over ten meters tall were planted neatly, and the trees were covered with green fruits the size of peas.

What kind of fruit tree is this?

Long Bai and Mo Lan were stunned at the same time, searching for their inherited memories.

Long Bai: "Golden Key Wood?"

Mo Lan: "Thick-leaf Golden Keywood?"

Long Bai: "It doesn't look like it. It's obviously a cultivated variety of ants. The specific species name is unknown."

Mo Lan: "Then it's called Golden Key Wood."

Mo Lan waved his tentacles and motioned for Long Bai to follow.

I walked carefully through the orchard, and finally stopped under an inconspicuous tree.

A very productive fruit tree species, the trees are densely covered with green fruits.

Under the leaves, an inconspicuous fruit exuded weak fluctuations in the force.

The fruit trees that gave birth to the God-given seeds were not harvested, and no troops were sent to protect them. It was 100% certain that the ant colonies stationed on the island had not found any God-given seeds gestating.

For reference, the fruits of Thick-leaved Golden Spoonwood mature in late summer and early autumn. This place is close to the cold temperate zone. Spring comes a little later, and the fruit matures later, which should be early autumn.

It is now the hottest summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

The green fruits on the trees still have more than two months to mature.

"Long Bai, what should I do?"

"No way. Let's go."

"Come back later?"

"certainly!"

"Together?"

"certainly."

"When did you come over?"

"Of course when the fruit is ripe."

"God-given fruits mature later than ordinary fruits."

"We will come when ordinary fruits are ripe and pick them before the Ishikari red ants on the island are harvested. It's not a big problem."

--Yeah?

Mo Lan couldn't believe it, and racked his brains to think, but it seemed that there was no better way, and there were more serious problems:

The fruit still takes more than two months to mature. During this period, will the fruits on the tree be discovered by King Zuo on the island? Or be eaten by other foraging birds and beasts...

But I definitely can’t stay behind to protect you.

This is a super ant kingdom with more than 50 king-level ant kings. If you stay for a long time, you will definitely be discovered.

Mo Lan didn't like to take risks either, so she urged: "Long Bai, let's go quickly."

Mo Lan led the way and returned the same way.

…

It is the coldest winter of the year here on Yunji Continent.

Mo Lan stayed in Xianglan Mountain to rest.

Long Bai went to the purple linden country and took the time to train specialized blue soldiers.

…

Time flies,

Spring begins,

Long Bai set off on time.

It is early autumn here in Wanglan Continent’s Ishikari Red Ant Kingdom, a harvest season when a large number of fresh fruits are concentrated and ripe.

Long Bai and Mo Lan approached the island, and their soul-fixing abilities sensed that there were no ants gathering around the golden key tree that gave birth to the god-given seeds.

I just don’t know if the fruit is still there.

Late at night, we landed on the island from the cliff.

Mo Lan felt it slightly and said happily: "He's still here!"

Mo Lan led the way and came to the orchard to check.

The fruit of Golden Spoon Wood has changed from green to golden red.

"raw."

Long Bai made a judgment based on the smell from a distance.

Mo Lan picked one to taste and swallowed forcefully, "It's sour and a little astringent. Dragon cypress, this kind of fruit doesn't taste good. It's not delicious."

Long Bai: "..."

You just know how to eat!

Long Bai also picked one and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, appraising it and said:

"Ordinary fruits, probably, still have five, six, seven or eight days to fully mature. The fruits that contain the God-given seeds will mature a little later, so you can't pick them too early. Wait a few more days..."

Mo Lan: "How many days to wait?"

Long Bai: "It's almost done when the ants start picking. Let's observe in secret and pay attention to the movements of the ants. Get one step ahead of them, go ashore, pick and leave."

Cymbidium:"……"

Long Bai waved his tentacles to signal, and Mo Lan led the way and quietly evacuated.

Lurking in the deep sea,

Use your soul-fixing ability from time to time to observe the movements of the ant colony.

Six days later,

The picking team, which was mainly composed of lord-level small and medium-sized worker ants, headed towards the orchard where the golden spoon trees were planted.

"Cymbidium!"

Long Bai reminded that the control throne was close to the coast and warned again: "Be careful. If you are discovered, fly away from high altitude."

"I know!"

Mo Lan came ashore alone, the color of her carapace blending in with the surrounding environment, and she disappeared into the dense forest.

Sneaking stealthily, with a body as fast as a shadow, he came to the Golden Keywood tree that contained the God-given seeds, climbed up the tree, swung his tentacles vertically, and knocked down the God-given fruits from the tree.

Get down from the tree, put your head down and swallow it in your mouth.

Turning around, the figure disappeared again...

…

Huh~huh~huh~

Returning to the throne of control, Mo Lan opened the pores in her abdomen and gasped hard.

"It almost choked me to death."

Mo Lan buried her head, spit out the fruit, and carefully peeled it open. Inside was a white seed with light golden force lines, and said happily:

"Judging from the fluctuations in the force, the Golden Keywood on the island has not mutated much, and the strengthening effect is still metallic. It is mostly a comprehensive strengthening of metal abilities."

Mo Lan: "A big tree with a high fruit yield!"

Seeing that Long Bai didn't answer, Mo Lan buried her head and looked at it carefully and said: "The picking time was several days early, the fruits are not yet fully mature, and the God-given seeds are also a little short."

Long Bai: "It's not a big problem. The seeds have been fully developed, but the Force has not been absorbed enough. Many God-given seeds collected by the bees and ants are basically like this. Sow them directly or sow them with life seeds, and the seedlings will be slightly weaker. The growth is a little slower in the early stage, but there are no other problems.”

Long Bai held up the hydrological shield and sneaked into the deep sea with the Control Throne. "Mo Lan, have you forgotten? The Control Throne also has the ability to repair seeds. Find a safe place and try it."

Yes!

Mo Lan was suddenly enlightened and said happily: "The throne of control is awesome!"

…

Sneak away from the Ishikari Red Ant Kingdom.

In the vast sea, the throne of rulership hovers above the sea.

Long Bai waved his front foot, and the surrounding seawater froze, forming an ice floe with a radius of twenty to thirty meters, and he jumped on it first.

Mo Lan buried her head and spat out the golden spoon wood seeds, placed them in the middle of the throne cushion, and then jumped onto the ice floe.

really,

A prompt message came from the Dominion Throne:

[I found natural force plant seeds and they are in poor condition. Please ask if they can be restored]

Lone Pine noted the difference in wording.

Last time Wuye’s Mao Zhen God-given seeds were in [critical condition] and needed [rescue]

This time, the golden spoon wood god-given seed is [poor condition], just [restoration]

Longbai Select【Yes】

The Dominion Throne releases the force to wrap the seeds, which are highly condensed to form a cocoon of hazy blue original energy light.

Lasting only a short two or three seconds, a prompt came from the ruling throne:

【Restore completed】

The original energy halo dissipated, and when I looked again, the original energy lines on the surface of the seed were much more solid, and the original energy fluctuations were clearer.

"Wow~"

Mo Lan cheered, jumped up on the throne, buried her head, rolled her tongue, and put the seed into her life bag.

Just wait for the magical green beans from the Wind Spider King to be delivered, and you can evolve into the 9th-year-old Mountain Lord.

Long Bai was equally happy, and after some effort, luckily nothing happened.

Mo Lan only needs the last god-given seed to evolve to the lord level, and it is not needed urgently. It has to wait for King Mo Lan's divine fruit to mature and harvest, which will take nearly thirty years.

Next time you harvest God-given seeds, you can use them yourself first. First, evolve into a 2nd-instar lord and awaken your earth-type talents.

When it comes to managing territory, earth-type abilities are too versatile.

Long Bai couldn't wait.
