Astral Ant Tribe

There's going to be a war.

I don’t know how many Zergs will die in this unprecedented war.

With a heavy heart, the Edelweiss Spider King walked across the sea and rushed on his way.

Suddenly his soul jumped and he stopped suddenly.

Looking solemnly into the distance.

In the distant sky, there is a vague feeling of peeping.

Convinced I was being spied on!

That sense of voyeurism was gone again.

As soon as the Edelweiss Spider King had an idea, the sea water beneath him surged and surged, forming a water column four to five meters thick, which lifted vertically.

Standing at a height of four to five hundred meters, looking around, you can see the vast sea, the howling cold wind, the clear sky, and nothing can be seen except the sea water and the blue sky.

——There are Zerg warriors spying on me from a high altitude, tens or hundreds of kilometers away?

——What a strong investigative ability!

——Is it Dragonfly Warrior who is scouting the situation on Blue Island?

——A dragonfly cannot see this far.

The Edelweiss Spider King's thoughts changed rapidly.

There was a loud rumble.

The water column in the sky collapsed.

The Edelweiss Spider King then disappeared.

…

Thousands of meters in the air.

Mo Lan lay comfortably on the throne, and Long Bai stood with his legs crossed on the top of the backrest.

Long Bai and Mo Lan took turns to activate their soul-fixing abilities and sense alerts.

Black Birch paused and rested. After a while, he activated his sunburn ability to observe the movements of the sea in all directions.

Sudden,

The force barrier that Hei Hua had just propped up collapsed, "King! Second King! It's not good!"

"how?"

Mo Lan jumped up.

Hei Hua raised his paw and pointed, saying: "I saw a big spider! Over there! It found me."

Mo Lan: "Flame Spider Traveling Merchant?"

Black Birch: "The Flame Spider Traveler who can walk on the sea, but has no goods on his back...a poor Flame Spider Traveler?"

Mo Lan: "No matter how poor the Flame Spider Traveler is, it's impossible for him to have no goods on his back. Is it like a Xuanlang, a former spider warrior?"

Black Birch: "No! The five colors of red, blue, yellow, green, and white, and the white spider legs and head are completely consistent with the characteristics of the Symphony Flame Spider tribe. They can walk on water and have water-based talents. This is also similar to the Symphony Flame Spider tribe. Warriors are united.”

Cymbidium:"……"

Long Bai asked: "How far is it?"

Black Birch: "About 120 kilometers."

Mo Lan asked in disbelief: "Are you sure it found you? This is visual ability!"

Black Birch: "Confirm that it found me."

Mo Lan looked at Long Bai in shock.

Long Bai asked: "I discovered you, what next?"

Black Birch: "I terminated my ability immediately."

Long Bai: "Look again!"

Black Birch: "Okay, Your Majesty!"

Black Birch activates his sunburn ability again.

After patrolling for seven or eight seconds, there was no trace of the flame spider merchant in the vast sea.

"The Great King...the Second King..."

Black Birch: "Can't find it. It must have dived into the sea and hidden it."

Long Bai: "Most likely."

Hei Hua: "Your Majesty, do you want to run away?"

Long Bai pondered for a moment and said: "Calm down. There's no need to run. This flame spider is probably here to watch the fun, and everyone shares the same goals. We can try to communicate with it and see if we can get some useful information."

After speaking, control the throne to fall.

On the sea, huge waves rise and fall with the wind.

Freezing ability explodes.

Within a radius of a hundred meters, the waves were frozen and raised, forming an 'iceberg' suspended in the sea.

The ruling throne shrank rapidly, Long Bai opened his mouth and took it into his mouth.

Mo Lan asked: "A traveling flame spider merchant watching the excitement? Why did you come here to see it? Could it be..."

Long Bai: "I have said before that once the war starts, the Wang-Lan continental coalition will launch an attack from the north and south, and attack from the south and north. This spider has obviously just completed the deal in the northern tropics and came to see the northern sea. fighting."

Mo Lan: "The war is about to begin?"

Long Bai: "The news from the Flame Spider Traveler is generally not wrong."

Mo Lan: "But its goods..."

Long Bai: "This is not ordinary excitement, this is war! To see this kind of excitement, it is best to travel lightly and be prepared to run away at any time. In a chaotic battlefield, it is dangerous to be discovered by either warring party. Guan You are a flame spider traveler, you are neutral or not, you kill them all and rob them all, who knows."

Mo Lan suddenly realized!

"Your Majesty is so smart!"

Black Hua sighed sincerely.

——It’s not a big deal, it’s just a matter of using your brain a little.

Long Bai shook his tentacles gently.

Mo Lan asked again: "Now, let's..."

Long Bai: "Let's talk about good words, I say, listen. First of all, the origin issue. The other party came across the sea from the northeast, not from the east, which means that its traveling business route does not set foot in the northwest of Wanglan Continent. area……"

…

Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua quickly prepared their responses and waited, but the spider didn't come.

Afraid that the other party would lose his way in the vast sea, Long Bai had an idea and peeled off a piece of thin ice with a radius of three meters and a thickness of about 10 centimeters from Hei Hua's feet. He called Mo Lan to join him and controlled the water system. At the same time, he flapped his wings and took off, driving upwards.

Black Birch activates the freezing ability to keep the ice cubes frozen.

Long Bai and Mo Lan worked together to control the ice pieces to carry Hei Hua up vertically to an altitude of two to three thousand meters.

Black Birch activated his sunburn ability and took a look.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I didn't see the spider."

"never mind."

"I'm running out of power."

The ice fell rapidly, approached the sea surface, suddenly slowed down, floated on the sea, and undulated with the waves.

The freezing ability explodes, and the waves below freeze and turn into floating icebergs.

Restore your original strength,

continue waiting,

"Long Bai..."

Mo Lan suddenly spread her wings, patted Long Bai, and shook her tentacles to guide the direction.

In the distance, seven or eight kilometers away, a colorful flame spider, with an empty back armor, was walking on the sea, and was walking quickly towards this direction.

--Huh?

As he got closer, there was a sound of surprise at first.

——They are all at the lord level.

——In which kingdom are ants and mantises? With such strength, you dare to come and watch the fun?

When I got closer and took a closer look, I was surprised, stunned, and stunned for a while.

"May I ask you are……"

Long Bai took the initiative to shake his tentacles to say hello.

The Edelweiss Spider King asked, "Are you a male ant?"

Long Bai: "Yes. The giant leaf-cutter ant. My name is Jin Shuo, this is Xuelan, and this is King Zuo Heihua."

"Meet the Spider King!"

"Meet the Spider King!"

Mo Lan and Hei Hua greeted respectfully.

"Oh! Hello! You're welcome."

The Edelweiss Spider King responded enthusiastically, quickly approached, climbed up the iceberg, and asked: "Jinshuo Ant King, Xuelan Lord, your carapace..."

Long Bai: "A worthless wood-type ability, similar to the ability of lower organisms such as corals and sea anemones in the sea, which can obtain energy through photosynthesis."

Edelweiss Spider King: "This ability is not simple!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Given by a divine fruit? Which kingdom are you from? Why haven't I heard of such a divine fruit?"

Mo Lan was confused and asked: "Isn't this produced by your Zhibai continent? We exchanged it for divine fruits."

Long Bai raised his paw and pointed to the east, saying, "I wonder if King Spider has ever heard of the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom."

"???"

The Edelweiss Spider King was confused.

Long Bai: "It's an unknown small country in the west. It's normal that you don't know about Spider King."

"My name is Snow Velvet."

The Edelweiss Spider King reported his origin and said warmly: "It turns out to be the Fanglan Mountain Kingdom. Although I have never been there, I heard it mentioned by my fellow ants. The Jinshuo Ant King is too humble. There is a kingdom that produces divine fruits. , how can it be a small country?"

——Edelweiss Spider King? !

——How did you hit this guy?

——What a coincidence!

Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua were all startled, and their tentacles trembled slightly.

After Long Bai was frightened for a moment, he quickly calmed down and said in surprise: "Are you the Snow Spider King?!"

Hei Hua then reacted, shocked, happy, and enthusiastically said: "I have seen the Edelweiss Spider King!"

Cymbidium:"……"

Mo Lan looked left and right and exclaimed, "Edelweiss Spider King! We have heard of your legend!"

"Ha! Ha! There is no such thing as a legend. It's an exaggeration."

The Edelweiss Spider King responded modestly, feeling proud but not surprised at the same time.

In Wanglan Continent, if you ask casually, there are not many insects who don't know the name of 'Snow Velvet'.

The Edelweiss Spider King followed up and asked: "Were you spying on me just now? More than a hundred kilometers away? Do you have visual ability? This is incredible!"

Long Bai hurriedly explained: "It's not a peep! We were scouting the battlefield and saw you accidentally."

Hei Hua raised his paw to signal and said: "This is a visual ability that I unexpectedly realized when I evolved to the lord level."

Long Bai: "Heihua is often responsible for sentry missions. During the Mountain Lord level, he ate a lot of Force food that strengthened his binocular vision. He evolved to the Lord level and realized such an extremely practical visual ability."

"oh--"

The Edelweiss Spider King was regretful, disappointed, and understood the situation.

Both the male ant king and the mantis have wings and can fly in the sky. It is a complete burden to travel far away to watch the battle with a weak and flightless king.

What are you bringing with you?

It turns out that King Zuo realized the super visual reconnaissance ability and brought it over for long-range reconnaissance.

It is precisely because King Zuo's visual ability can detect situations at extremely long distances that they dare to come to such a dangerous place to join in the fun.

It makes sense to say it this way.

The Edelweiss Spider King asked incredulously: "Jin Shuo Ant King, if my perception is correct, you have awakened the five talents of strength, water, wood, wind and metal!"

The Edelweiss Spider King looked at Mo Lan again and said in astonishment: "Lord Xuelan has also awakened the talents of water, wood and wind."

Long Bai: "Because I have a Shashuo god-given seed that gives me the metal talent. I got it in exchange for the godly items."

"oh--"

The Edelweiss Spider King was disappointed again. He already had metal talent.

The Edelweiss Spider King tentatively asked: "Where do you get the divine fruit that gives you the wood talent? A caravan? I wonder if it would be convenient for you to give me some information..."

Long Bai shook his tentacles vigorously and said, "I can't say!"

Mo Lan echoed: "This is a business secret and cannot be spread randomly."

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "That wind element is..."

Long Bai raised his paw, pointed lightly in the direction of Blue Island, and said with emotion: "A certain flame spider traveler acted as an intermediary, and got it from the Ishikari Blue Ant tribe. I never expected that Blue Island would fall. Fortunately, We ate early and there was no need.”

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "According to the latest news I have, I am afraid that Blue Island will not survive this time. After a long stalemate, Blue Island has always been impregnable. On the contrary, the coalition forces organized by Bo Shuwan have many internal conflicts. They have not yet cooperated with Blue Island. During the war, dozens of internal conflicts broke out, and kingdoms continued to announce their withdrawal. Now, forced by the internal situation, we have no choice but to take the initiative to attack Blue Island..."

"..."

Long Bai, Mo Lan and Hei Hua looked at each other without saying a word.

"well--"

Long Bai sighed, "I knew it would be like this. The makeshift coalition is just a mess and may collapse at any time."

Edelweiss Spider King:? ? ?

Who just said that Blue Island is going to die?

You ant is very flexible~

The Edelweiss Spider King said calmly: "According to reliable information, the situation of the coalition forces organized by Bo Shuwan is not that bad. Although kingdoms are constantly withdrawing, new kingdoms are also joining, and the number of troops has not decreased. One result, two The three old queen bees, Guo and Sanguo, have been fighting against Blue Island for hundreds of years. They have gone through countless battles, large and small, and have rich war experience. They chose to launch an attack in the middle of winter because they must have other considerations. I am a traveling merchant and I don’t understand. In a war, it’s hard to do more evaluations.”

Mo Lan: "Uh-"

Long Bai: "Oh——"

Long Bai didn't feel embarrassed at all, tilted his head and ordered: "Hei Hua, go catch two fish and bring them up. Let's eat and chat with the Edelweiss Spider King."

"Okay! Jinshuo Ant King!"

Black Birch quickly walked to the edge of the ice floe and immersed himself into the sea.

Long Bai turned around and asked in a casual manner: "King Edelweiss Spider, I heard that the Holy Butterfly Tribe of Zhibai Continent sent a Butterfly King to join the war... This news should be true, right?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Confirmed to be true."

Long Bai: "Why? It can't be for justice, right? Apart from interests, I can't think of anything else. But I don't understand what benefits can attract the Holy Butterfly tribe to join the war across the continent."

Edelweiss Spider King: "This is definitely a decision made by the Holy Butterfly Tribe after comprehensive consideration of various factors. There are three main factors that push the Holy Butterfly Tribe to participate in the war."

"First, Ishikari Blue Ants will never be allowed to land on Wanglan Continent. This is the consensus of all Zerg species in Wanglan and Zhibai Continent. In the past three thousand years, Ishikari Blue Ants launched a total of 114 invasion wars against Boshu Bay, eight of which After a successful landing, all the tribes on the mainland united and fought it back to the distant sea at a heavy price. The situation this time was very similar to the previous eight times. The Holy Butterfly tribe chose to participate in the war mainly to nip it in the bud."

——There is such a history!

Long Bai and Mo Lan's eyes sparkled, and they clicked their tentacles together, looking forward to what happened next.

Black Hua used his freezing ability to trap a large fish more than one meter long and maneuvered it onto the iceberg.

Long Bai raised his paw and waved it, forming an ice pot.

The black birch wields its claws to cut, first cut off the fish bones and throw them into the pot.

Mo Lan tapped his tentacles lightly, and two balls of clear water fell down.

Long Bai then activated his boiling ability to boil the soup.

The Edelweiss Spider King's eight eyes sparkled as he stared at Mo Lan and exclaimed: "The ability to create water! Did you realize it yourself?"

Mo Lan: "Yes. I realized it when I broke through the lord."

Edelweiss Spider King: "The first-year-old lord has realized the ability to create water. Your mantis's talent in elemental abilities is not very high! With sufficient resources, the evolution after the king level will be smooth."

Mo Lan: "Xuelan thanks the Edelweiss Spider King for the compliment."

When the Edelweiss Spider King said this, Long Bai and Black Birch were unable to reveal their water-making abilities and remained silent.

Edelweiss Spider King: "I'm usually bored, so I also study eating. I have quite a lot of experience."

When the topic of eating came up, the Edelweiss Spider King got excited and started to go off topic, asking: "Do you usually eat like this?"

Long Bai: "It's too troublesome. I usually eat it raw. I only scald it with boiling water when celebrating at parties or entertaining distinguished guests."

Edelweiss Spider King: "You have the conditions, but you should pay attention to them."

The Edelweiss Spider King said enthusiastically: "I am usually bored, but I also study food and have quite a lot of experience. I travel across the continent, collect various animal and plant materials, and specialize in making various seasonings. Unfortunately, it is not convenient to carry it here to watch the battle. Otherwise, I will give you some."

Long Bai: "...The Snow Velvet Spider King is particular about spiders."

Mo Lan: "What a pity."

Long Bai: "..."

The Edelweiss Spider King earnestly taught: "Insect life is long, and there are too few interesting things. Eating is one of them. Let me tell you, there are many tips for boiling water. First, you must classify the ingredients, sea fish, freshwater fish, cattle, sheep , wild boar, tiger, leopard, python, snake, different foods, different processing methods, the taste of cooking is very different..."

"..."

Long Bai, Mo Lan and Hei Hua listened carefully.

The soup is ready.

Black birch fish fillet.

Everyone sat around in front of the ice pot, and the conversation completely turned to food.

After eating a fish, it’s time to chat.

Long Bai returned to the topic and asked: "Edelweiss Spider King, you said before that there were three reasons why the Holy Butterfly tribe participated in the war..."

"Yep--"

The Edelweiss Spider King paused, thought for a while, and then asked: "Have you ever traded with Blue Island? I heard that Blue Island has a new soul-type divine seed. I don't know if it is true or not."

"..."

Long cypress, ink orchid, black birch condensed and choked.

What do you mean you heard? Could it be that the rumors didn't come from you?

Long Bai said seriously: "I've heard a little about it. It seems to be a mutation of a water green tree. The fruit it produces is called water green seed. Blue Island does not trade with foreigners at all. No insect has ever seen it. I don't know the details. ”

"Shui Qingshu?"

The Edelweiss Spider King was confused, "The news I got is that a male orchid mutated..."

"..."

Long Bai, Mo Lan and Hei Hua were speechless once again.

This rumor is spreading, and it is quite serious...

Long Bai: "I heard that this soul-based ability can sense the souls of Force life more than a hundred kilometers away. I don't know if it's true or not."

The Edelweiss Spider King said firmly: "Fake news. The sensing distance should be 30 to 40 kilometers. Once passed to ten, ten to a hundred, it gradually became 50 kilometers, 80 kilometers, 100 kilometers, exaggerated to say more than a thousand Kilometers, it’s impossible even if you think about it with your tentacles.”

Rumors are flying everywhere~

Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

Black Birch: "..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Thirty or forty kilometers is already terrifying. This soul-based reconnaissance ability is used in wars and can play a vital role. It is a potential fatal hazard. This soul-based divine grade god-given seed should be It just appeared in the past few decades and has not yet spread on a large scale among the Ishikari Blue Ant tribe. The Holy Butterfly tribe's participation in the war also has the consideration of nipping the threat in its bud."

——It can barely be regarded as the second reason why the Holy Butterfly tribe participated in the war.

Long cypress, mochi orchid, and black birch all moved their tentacles.

"As for the third reason..." The Edelweiss Spider King paused for a long time, then said in a solemn tone:

"This time, the Holy Butterfly tribe has the idea of ​​destroying the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom in one fell swoop. Because they also have the ability to control the scepter of the God of the Ocean, they intend to replace it."
