Astral Ant Tribe

Bai Fan came to Yaoye Island and spent seventy days to complete the hardening and reinforcement of the stone walls of the passage. The escape passage ran straight east from the central king's nest to the depths of the seabed.

With the central king's nest as the center, all escape tunnels leading to the east, west, and north directions have been completed.

At the same time, the underground passage connecting the west branch nest to the main escape passage to the west has also been hardened and opened.

The next work is to dig more underground passages connected to the escape tunnels, build an intricate underground network extending in all directions, and establish more escape entrances and exits.

Once it is built, insects that are proficient in water-based properties will be at ease here, while insects that are not proficient in water-based properties will only stare in disbelief. Insects that are familiar with the island environment are here to appear and disappear. Insects that are unfamiliar with the island land, and there is a danger of being ambushed and surrounded wherever they go.

…

I sent the rice back to the mountain and picked up Mo Lan on the way.

…

Early spring in Yunji Continent,

In the south of Wanglan Continent, it is the early autumn when the sky is clear and the air is cool and neither hot nor cold. It is a good time to start a war.

Mo Lan flew slowly above the long white clouds.

Long Bai controls the throne, carries Black Birch, and sneaks into the deep sea.

The soul-fixing ability unfolds and anchors Mo Lan in the air.

Mo Lan sensed it immediately and also activated his soul-fixing ability to anchor Long Bai.

"Your Majesty, please give instructions."

"This is about 600 kilometers away from Blue Island. Stop for a moment and observe the situation ahead. The current Blue Island is a place of trouble. There must be Zerg warriors from Wanglan Continent conducting reconnaissance. We should be cautious."

"receive!"

Communication is interrupted.

Molan hovered high in the sky.

The throne of dominance emerged from the water and climbed vertically until it was above the clouds.

Stand tall and see far.

However, there is a limit to the flying height of the Zerg warriors and the Dominion Throne. If you continue to go up to an altitude of 10,000 meters, you will be invisiblely suppressed by the laws of nature and suppressed by a downward pressure, making it difficult to continue to rise.

The Dominion Throne can resist the pressure of the law a little and fly up to an altitude of about 12,000 meters.

Mo Lan soared closer and landed on the top of the throne's backrest.

Long Bai controlled the throne to climb up to its limit.

"Black Birch, activate the Sunburn ability, look forward bit by bit, and carefully scout the sea and clouds to see if there are any Zerg warriors."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Hei Hua moved to the edge of the throne, leaned out half of his body, fixed his eyes on the front, and activated his ability.

The blue-purple oval concave original energy barrier unfolds.

A full seven or eight seconds passed.

Black Hua put away his power and reported: "Big King, Second King, there is no trace of the Zerg at a distance of 20 to 50 kilometers to the south."

Long Bai moved his tentacles.

Black Birch rested for a while, then activated its ability again to detect the situation 50 to 80 kilometers ahead.

Rest for a while, and then launch the ability reconnaissance.

Repeated ten times, advancing 30 kilometers each time, it was initially confirmed that the sea area within 300 kilometers ahead was safe.

The planet is round, the sea surface is curved, and the sun can only see 320 to 350 kilometers away.

Don't dare to be careless,

Mo Lan also followed, sneaking into the deep sea and traveling at night.

At dawn, we arrived at the sea 400 kilometers away from Blue Island.

After some careful observation, it was confirmed that there was no danger in the surrounding sea area, and the throne of rulership climbed vertically up to 10,000 meters in the air.

Black Birch continued to use his Sunburn ability to conduct long-distance reconnaissance. It took him half a day to reconnoiter all directions to confirm safety.

The throne of rulership gallops high in the sky and moves forward another 200 kilometers.

"Almost, it's here!"

Long Bai raised his paw and pointed, "Hei Hua, about 200 kilometers ahead, there is an island. First, take a look at the situation of the troops stationed on the island."

"good!"

Black Birch has mastered the sunburn ability. He stared at it, made slight adjustments, accurately positioned 200 kilometers away, and launched the ability reconnaissance.

It lasted for seven or eight seconds, then put away the ability.

"Your Majesty, I saw the island you mentioned."

"How's it going?"

"It seems that there is no situation..."

"???"

Mo Lan rushed to ask questions.

Black Birch: "I saw Ishikari blue ants. The worker ants are gathering in groups to harvest ripe fruits. I occasionally saw formations of soldier ants patrolling."

Hei Hua: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this doesn't look like a wartime situation."

"..."

Long Bai and Mo Lan were speechless.

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, could it be fake news? Have you been tricked by that butterfly?"

Long Bai: "No. I've observed it with my soul, and that butterfly didn't lie."

Long Bai analyzed: "Our location is too far to the west. Maybe the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom didn't know that the coalition forces on the main continent were planning to attack Blue Island, so it was unprepared?"

Long Bai controlled the throne and flew 50 kilometers south.

"Heihua, if you use your best eyesight, look over there, you should be able to see the main island of Blue Island. See what's going on on the main island."

"Okay. Your Majesty."

Black Birch did as he was told.

Ability unfolds.

Last for seven or eight seconds, put away the ability.

"Your Majesty, your Second Majesty, I saw it! There is something going on! On the east coast of the main island, there are Ishikari blue ants circling and patrolling in the sky! There are a large number of soldier ants walking in formation on the ground. High on the mountain, I saw Prince Arisa personally leading the sentry. alert."

Mo Lan: "Flying ants?"

Black Birch: "Maybe, it's similar to the king's 'Wind Wings' ability. You can't see the wings, but they can indeed... float in the sky! If you look carefully, it seems different from flying with wings, more like floating in the wind, but they can Manipulate the airflow and fly in the designated direction. A very strange way of flying."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "It should be the wind ability."

Mo Lan: "I heard that the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom has added tens of millions of troops? Black Birch, did you see it?"

Black Birch: "You can't tell. They are both ant tribes. The Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom must be the same as our Pandan Mountain Kingdom. Most of the soldier ants rest quietly in the ant nest to reduce physical energy consumption and save food. Only some of them are sent out. The ants come out of the nest and take charge of sentry and patrol work.”

Heihua: "However, judging from the atmosphere, the island is on high alert, and a war is really about to break out!"

Hei Hua: "Don't worry, two kings. I will observe the patrol frequency of the ant colony again and I will make a definite judgment."

Am I in a hurry? Mo Lan scolded: "Hei Hua, observe carefully! Long Bai, this is already a dangerous area. You and I take turns to activate the soul-fixing ability to sense the surroundings."

Long Bai: "Listen to the command of the Second King."

Hei Hua: "The two kings commanded well."

Black Birch rested for a while and activated his sunburn ability to take a look.

Stop and take a rest for a long time,

Hei Hua said firmly: "Your Majesty, Second Majesty, according to my observation and analysis, the Blue Island Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom is indeed in a state of war readiness, but they seem to be in a highly alert defensive state."

Black Birch: "But it's obviously not that stressful. During the autumn harvest season, the ants are busy harvesting in the orchard as usual."

Mo Lan immediately said: "A war is a war, and an autumn harvest is an autumn harvest. Before the war starts, of course what should be harvested must be harvested in time, otherwise what will we eat?"

Mo Lan added: "With the sudden increase of tens of millions of troops, Blue Island's food pressure is very high! Long Bai, don't you think so?"

"That's for sure."

Long Bai tapped his tentacles in agreement.

Black Birch asked: "Your Majesty, your Second Majesty, is it possible that the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom has learned that many kingdoms on the main continent have united and planned to attack Blue Island?"

Long Bai: "We can all get the news. A kingdom as big as Ishikari Blue Ant can definitely do it."

Long Bai: "Don't make blind guesses first. Go a little further and see what's going on."

The Throne of Control flies from an altitude of 10,000 meters to 50 kilometers south.

Black Birch activates his ability to observe the main island.

Almost the same situation,

The western coastline is on high alert.

The interior of the main island is peaceful and busy with the autumn harvest.

Long Bai had a vague feeling that the two sides were in a state of confrontation across the sea, both waiting for the other to attack so that he could take advantage of the landownership.

If so,

The stalemate continues for a long time,

The biggest problem on Blue Island is food, but now that it is the autumn harvest season, there will be no shortage of food in the next few months at least.

The Boshuwan Alliance has a big problem. It is impossible for a coalition composed of hundreds of thousands of tribes to achieve true unity. Over time, the hearts of the tribes will be scattered, and they will not like each other, and they may start fighting internally.

"I won't be able to fight for a while."

Long Bai greeted: "It's just right. It's safe to travel at night. Let's stay away from the place of right and wrong first."

The ruling throne flew northward at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Mo Lan didn't want to miss such a world war, "When will the war break out?"

Long Bai: "Smart bugs should ask which side can't hold it back first and launches the attack first."

Mo Lan: "Smart bug, who do you think will be the first to attack?"

Long Bai: "There are too many variables. I don't know."

Mo Lan: "Then you said a lot of nonsense, didn't you?"

Long Bai: "Yes. It's all nonsense."

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, developing and transforming Shake Leaf Island is the serious business. Let's go back to work."

…

It’s better to be careful when traveling at night.

Mo Lan flapped her wings and flew high in the sky.

Long Bai controls the throne, carries Black Birch, and sneaks into the deep sea.

Walking by day and night.

Rest for a day on a desert island at sea, and hit the road again at dusk.

Late at night,

Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability.

Mo Lan, who was flying high in the sky, responded immediately.

"Your Majesty, please give instructions."

"Turn northeast."

"OK."

Mo Lan asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to stop by Xiangsi Island?"

More than twenty years have passed.

Long Bai almost forgot about the Snow Velvet Spider King.

Then the Edelweiss Spider King has probably forgotten about himself, right?

Long Bai thought about it and readily agreed: "Let's have a look!"

Fine-tune the sailing direction and hit the road again.

At dawn, approaching Xiangsi Island.

rest for a day.

Set out at dark,

Sneak around the throne of domination, approach cautiously, and sense the soul-fixing ability.

Make sure there is no danger.

The throne of domination is half-floating in the sea and waiting.

Mo Lan went to the island to search alone.

Long Baitu, who was waiting on the coast, was alert and alert, and activated his soul-fixing ability to anchor Mo Lan's position.

"The second king?"

"Long Bai! God-given seeds!"

"!!!"

Long Bai straightened his tentacles: That’s okay!

"Your Majesty?" Hei Hua observed carefully and immediately guessed that he had gained something.

Long Bai didn't waste any time, directly controlled the throne to take off, and rushed to Mo Lan's location.

A raised hill.

Slopes are densely forested.

Mo Lan stood guard under an ash tree about ten meters high.

On the tree, bunches of samaras are in ripe season.

One of them is slightly larger and occupies a branch alone, emitting weak force fluctuations.

God-given seeds of the ash tree!

"The two kings are mighty!"

Hei Hua cheered first, "The two kings are simply god-like existences!"

Long Bai waved his tentacles and slapped Hei Hua on the head, "It's okay to flatter him, but don't make fun of God."

Long Bai mentally scanned around and saw that on another hilltop seven or eight hundred meters away, there were more than a dozen Philippine fruit trees growing.

The last time the God-given seeds of Feiyouguo were found on the hill next door.

The God-given seed of Feiyouguo at the lord level can bring in 200,000 yuan in raw stone income every year, which is considered to be the best sequence under the top level.

The god-given ash tree is better. The strengthening effect is similar to the azure persimmon, which strengthens the toughness of the carapace. It is also a large tree, but the yield and quality may not be as high as the top grade.

Annual income of more than 250,000 should be no problem.

Long Bai couldn't help but sigh: "This island is really a treasure! We have already picked up two God-given seeds."

"Yes! It also gave birth to two wild God-given seeds."

Mo Lan shook her tentacles vigorously in agreement.

However, there is nothing special about the island. It has a medium Force abundance, ordinary soil geology, and a typical tropical rain forest climate, which is unremarkable.

Long Bai and Mo Lan did not dwell on this issue and focused on the god-given seeds of the ash tree that were about to mature on the tree.

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, Black Birch, you stay and guard, I will continue to search, maybe I can still find them."

If the two kings say they can find it, then they can definitely find it.

Long Bai and Hei Hua shook their tentacles together: Come on, two kings!

Mo Lan fluttered her wings and left.

Black Birch: "Your Majesty, I have cleared away the weeds nearby."

"Need not!"

Long Bai raised his claws and pressed Black Birch down, saying: "Don't touch any vegetation on the island, to avoid being noticed by the Snow Spider King and arousing suspicion."

Hei Hua thought for a moment and moved his tentacles to show that he understood.

Long Bai's single tentacle swung, and a burst of prosperity ability fell. The two tentacles moved together, using the water ability to create a mist, and activated the tranquility ability. The green wood energy merged with the water mist, covering the ash tree.

At midnight, Mo Lan returned.

There is nothing else to gain.

…

He stayed on the island and waited for more than ten days for the fruits to mature and be harvested.

"Second King, are you coming or am I coming?"

Long Bai looked at the seeds in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.

Frequently, when it was his turn to evolve, he encountered a particularly good god-given seed, but when it was Mo Lan's turn, he encountered an average god-given seed.

It’s not okay to keep doing this~

Although the number of God-given seeds on both sides is similar, the income gap is getting wider and wider.

Mo Lan was also aware of this problem. Not counting the divine fruits, Long Bai's income from the divine seeds was almost twice as much as his own.

"Forget it, I'll let you do it one last time! Next time something good comes, it will be mine!"

Mo Lan waved his claws in an awe-inspiring manner.

"Thank you, Second King!"

Black Birch thanks him for his help.

Long Bai lowered his head and put the god-given seeds of the ash tree into his life bag.

Mo Lan asked: "Long Bai, when will you evolve?"

Long Bai: "Based on the seasons of Yunji Continent, let's talk about it after autumn."

Mo Lan: "Where to plant? When to plant? What to do on Shake Leaf Island?"

Long Bai: "The ash tree has strong adaptability to the environment. Just sow the seeds in Bailian Lake and let Heiye take care of it. My main purpose is to stay here on Shaking Leaf Island..."

…

After briefly discussing various arrangements for the next year, we set off to return to Shaking Leaf Island.

I won’t go back to Yunji Continent now.

Mo Lan also stayed behind, and together with Xun, they cut down trees and reclaimed wasteland to prepare for the large-scale cultivation of Yushu No. 1.

Long Bai and Hei Hua continue to direct the ant colony and dig and build underground water veins.

At the same time, new ants are continuously cultivated to increase the size of the team on the island.

Time flies by for a month,

Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua set out again, just like last time, cautiously approaching Blue Island. They were far away from each other, activated their sunburn ability, and observed the situation on the island.

The war still didn't start.

The Ishikari blue ants on the island are on high alert.

It takes 7 days to go back and forth, so there won’t be much delay.

After returning to Yaoye Island and concentrating on work for a month, Longbai, Molan and Heihua set off again.

It's winter here in Wanglan Continent, but the war still hasn't started...

Another month later,

Long Bai arranged for a team of specialized chemical worker ants to lead the ant colony to build five separate nests: east, south, west, north and the central king's nest.

Set off again.

Blue Island is located in the cold temperate zone of the mainland. After a heavy snowfall, the entire island turned into a vast expanse of white.

The defenses are tighter.

A large number of Ishikari blue ants were patrolling in the air, and on every peak near the sea, there was a person named Zuo personally standing sentry on the top of the mountain.

Still didn't start a fight.

But the atmosphere on the island was obviously more tense.

It looks like a war is about to begin.

Long cypress, molan and black birch stayed behind and waited in the sea 350 kilometers due north of the main island.
