Astral Ant Tribe

Long Bai and Bai Fan worked together and spent 60 days digging the underground escape tunnel from the central king's nest to the seabed in the north, and made preliminary preparations for the excavation of the western passage.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the new year begins with spring.

Long Bai and Bai Fan didn't stay long and returned on time, each busy with their own things.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are coming again.

winter comes,

Long Bai first took Mo Lan into Wanglan Continent and quickly completed the search for Yaoye Island and Qianjiao Islands.

Send Mo Lan back to Xianglan Mountain, pick up the rice, and continue digging the escape tunnel.

There are currently 14 specialized worker ants and 14 large worker ants on the island.

Adjust working methods,

Long Bai personally led 4 specialized worker ants and 4 large worker ants to be responsible for the excavation work at the front.

Baifan's workload was reduced, and he was only responsible for gathering the excavated stones, gathering them into square bricks, and solidifying them slightly.

The transportation work is carried out by 10 specialized worker ants and 10 large worker ants.

The work burden of Baifan is reduced and the mining efficiency is doubled.

The total length of the escape tunnel from the central king's nest to the seabed in the west of the island is about 7 kilometers, with temporary exits opened every two kilometers to reduce the transportation distance of worker ants.

It took 80 days to build the second escape tunnel.

Send Baifan back to Baifanshan.

After three trips in a row, we first picked up Hei Hua and Li Zhi and headed to Shake Leaf Island.

The last trip to pick up Yinbai...

…

At noon after a heavy rain, the sun was blazing in the sky and there were no clouds in the sky.

The deep-sea ruler's throne rises vertically, emerges from the sea, and reaches the sky.

"Yinbai! Over there."

Long Bai raised his paw to guide the direction and said: "The straight-line distance is about 300 kilometers, Qieye Island. You activate the sunburn ability to see the situation on the island."

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

Yinbai agreed and asked: "Your Majesty, be specific? What do you want to see specifically?"

Long Bai: "What do you want to see? Just take a look."

Yinbai: "..."

Yinbai turned around, poked his head at the edge of the throne, and looked intently. The original energy condensed into the sky eye on his forehead, supporting a giant blue-purple original energy barrier with a length of nearly thirty meters.

It lasted for about five seconds, and the original energy barrier disappeared.

Yinbaihui reported: "Your Majesty, I saw the island. It's probably because it was too hot at noon. There are no ants leaving the nest. There is no situation."

Long Bai: "Idiot! What do you think ants are doing? Planting plants! The ant kingdom at the lord level occupies an island of 400 square kilometers. There must be a god-given seed. The god-given seed of life must be sown on Near the main nest, you look for the God-given seed! Lock the location of the main nest."

Yinbai: "Uh..."

Yinbai muttered and retorted: "You didn't explain clearly what I asked just now..."

The response was a tap of the antennae.

Yinbai buried his head and didn't dare to say anything. He took a short rest and activated his sunburn ability again to check.

It lasted for seven or eight seconds, and the ability was removed.

"Your Majesty, I found it!"

"The king knows things like a god! On a towering mountain peak, I saw a lot of ants moving around. A golden tree was planted at the foot of the mountain. It was very tall. It must have been a seed given by God. Then, it seemed that it was gone..."

Long Bai: "Only see one tree?"

Yinbai: "Only a preliminary judgment can be made through the visual patterns collected through light information. There may be some God-given seeds that are not very conspicuous."

Yinbai: "Your Majesty, from this direction we can only see the southwest side of the island, and we can only collect information on the southwest side of the mountain... Change the angle?"

Long Bai: "I won't change it anymore. Take a closer look at the common plants on the island."

Yinbai: "...Oh."

Yinbai thought for a while, rested for a while, activated his sunburn ability and looked again.

"Your Majesty, the main crops planted in the orchard on the island are large trees such as costumia, mulberry, yellowbark tree, poinciana, Chinese tallow tree, heather and so on. I also saw a Philippine fruit tree, which is obviously an improved variety and grows very tall. There are also other trees. I don’t recognize several trees and have never seen them before.”

Silver cypress: "They have cultivated the land into neat squares, and planted cypress trees, pear trees, almond trees and other fruit trees in the middle. But it is obvious that they don't like to eat fruits, so they plant very few."

That's pretty much it...

It is 100% certain that it is a certain kingdom of leaf-cutting ants that is stationed on the island.

Long Bai: "Okay. Let's go."

With a thought, Long Bai made the throne fall freely, plummeting vertically, submerging into the deep sea, and continued to sneak on his way.

…

…

…

Shaking Leaf Island.

Under the tree of shake-leaf iron-core tree planted by God.

"Your Majesty!"

"Silver cypress!"

Zhu and Heihua came forward to greet them.

The total number of ants in the West Branch nest exceeds 300.

After Hei Hua arrived at the place, he immediately organized a team and together with Zhi, they combed the rivers and ditches and cleaned up the messy vegetation around the god-given seeds of the rock-leaf iron core tree.

Long Bai lightly jumped to the ground, took the throne of control back into his mouth, waved his tentacles to signal, and led Yin Bai, Hei Hua, and Li Zhi up the mountain together to the top of the mountain.

"Yinbai, if nothing unexpected happens, you will all be living on Yaye Island for many, many years to come. Two tasks, the first is to build an unbreakable troop base; the second is to open up wasteland and expand the soil, and first plant rainwater on a large scale. Tree No. 1, and then sow other tropical plants.”

"Understood."

"I understand. Your Majesty."

Silver cypress, black birch, and water chestnut agreed.

"When encountering danger, the priority is to save your life. Don't think too much. Arrange the island's blue soldiers and blue ants to enter the underground water vein network to escape, while you escape directly through the undersea tunnel. Sneak under the sea and escape to the southeast, a distance of 1,000 kilometers away. There is an island and reef where you can rest. After escaping, go there and wait for me."

"As for the specific route, I will take you through it in two days."

"Know!"

"clear!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Yinbai and Heihua agreed sonorously.

Long Bai: "This is the West Branch Nest. This mountain is the highest on the entire island. Yin Bai, please remember to climb to the top of the mountain at least three times every morning, noon, and afternoon, activate the sunburn ability, and observe the sea conditions in the distance. .”

Yinbai: "Okay, Your Majesty."

Long Bai: "If there is nothing else, Yin Bai, you will be on guard at the top of the mountain, activate the sunburn ability from time to time, and check the surrounding situation. If there is an insect approaching or there is an invasion, discover it as soon as possible and notify Hei Hua and Li Bai. , everyone ran away in time to minimize the risk."

Yinbai: "I understand. Your Majesty."

Long Bai: "Zi, you can either stay under the ironwood tree or walk with the black birch. Try not to walk alone."

Zhu: "I understand. Your Majesty."

Hei Hua is a rare and calm character among many Zuwangs.

Long Bai looked at Hei Hua, paused, and warned, "Hei Hua, please be more vigilant."

Black Birch: "I understand, Your Majesty."

Long Bai: "The escape passages from the central king's nest to the sea to the north and west of the island have been dug. I will take you there to take a look. Everyone should familiarize themselves with the environment first."

…

Long Bai has arranged various affairs in Yunji Continent in advance for this year.

Long Bai also stayed on Yaoye Island. He first led Yin Bai, Hei Hua, and Zan to get familiar with the island and the surrounding sea environment, then went to the islands and reefs to familiarize themselves with the escape routes.

Explain construction planning.

Work officially started,

Silver cypress is mainly responsible for sentry and hunting work.

The water chestnut guards the god-given seed of the shake-leaf iron-core tree.

Long Cypress and Black Birch lead the ant colony in work.

The first is to develop and build the western branch nest.

Excavate an 'underground vein network' to connect the west branch nest with an escape tunnel to the west of the island. If you don't want to completely penetrate it first, you still need to come over and use your earth ability to reinforce the stone wall.

The network tunnel is designed as a semi-circular arch with a diameter of about 2.2 meters, which is enough for three specialized soldier ants to travel in parallel. A wide space is set up every 100 meters in the water network to make it easier for King Zuo to turn around when he is running away.

It took two months to dig the west branch nest and the first network tunnel.

Long Bai and Black Birch continue to lead the ant colony and dig an escape tunnel from the central king's nest to the seabed on the east side of the island.

Just dig it first, then just use soil ability to reinforce it when the rice comes in winter.

at the same time,

Longbai continues to cultivate blue soldiers, blue ants, and worker ants to expand the size of the ant colony.

A steady stream of large and medium-sized worker ants emerge and join the digging team.

Long Bai divided the team into two, and he and Hei Hua each led one team and excavated in two sections at the same time, doubling the efficiency.

The third eastward escape tunnel planned by Long Bai is about 11 kilometers in total. It was busy until the Mid-Autumn Festival of Yunji Continent and was basically completed. Only the last few hundred meters are left. It will be opened after Bai Fan comes over to complete the tunnel reinforcement and hardening work. Irrigation.
