Astral Ant Tribe

Thousand Reef Islands, with an open sea area of ​​400 square kilometers, is generally a large and square island.

Officially named Split Leaf Island.

Long Bai led the ant colony to land, and selected a mountain peak in the center of the island, named it 'Split Leaf Mountain', and officially designated it as the main nest of the Thousand Reef Islands territory.

Black Sophora japonica directs worker ants to dig passages, excavate nest chambers, and build cold storage.

Long Bai personally activated the earth element ability, strengthened it, and commanded the blue soldiers to move the rocks.

In less than two days,

The Mori Wasp Kingdom on the coast noticed the movement on the island.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of combat worker bees and two king-level assistants, a queen bee landed on the island.

The old queen bee 'Qinggan' of the Forest Wasp Kingdom has long since moved to settle in the United Kingdom of Pau Shuwan. The new little queen bee 'Qinggan' should be here. In the past, she frequently came to the island every autumn and winter to search for plant fruits and seeds. The One to whom God gave the seed.

"I've met the leader Long Bai~!"

The Queen Bee looked a little frightened and greeted her cautiously.

"Are you the Queen Bee?"

"it's me!"

"The Blood Vine Queen Bee told me about the situation in the Mori Wasp Kingdom. You should have received the news, right?"

"I received it a long time ago. Everyone has been looking forward to the arrival of Chief Long Bai. With you stationed here, all the kingdoms on the east coast of Wanglan Continent will feel at ease, and they no longer have to worry about the King of Fish Ants coming back."

"That's right. I'm stationed at the Qianjiao Islands, firstly to facilitate fishing in the sea and to accumulate troops; secondly, to guard the fortress and rush to Longmai Mountain for support at any time. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the King of Fish Ants can't get through. .”

"Understood! Thank you for your hard work, Chief Long Bai."

Qing Gao asked enthusiastically: "Chief Longbai, is there anything I can help you with?"

"have."

Long Bai: "This island is officially named 'Split Leaf Island'. I may have to stay on the island for many years and cultivate it on the way."

"The area of ​​the island is about 400 square kilometers. If you cultivate half of it, it will be 200 square kilometers. You can help find some high-quality plants suitable for planting on the island and cultivate seedlings on the offshore islands."

"My ant army is responsible for the reclamation work, and your bee colony is responsible for the transplantation work. The entire 200 square kilometers will be completed in three batches. It will start in three years and complete all reclamation and planting work in three years."

Qingqing promised sonorously: "I will arrange it immediately!"

Long Bai: "I won't let you work in vain. You will be paid. 10,000 rough stones per square kilometer. In total, I will pay you 2 million rough stones."

After Long Bai finished speaking, he turned back and waved his tentacles towards Black Sophora japonica and ordered: "First give 10% of the deposit to the Queen Bee of Green Sophora japonica."

"yes!"

Black Sophora burrowed into the ant nest, and soon came out carrying a spider silk bag and handed it over.

When the queen bee opened it, she was secretly surprised and overjoyed.

What is contained in the spider silk bag is a special letter for rewards issued by the United Kingdom of Boshuwan. It can be found in any caravan and exchanged for any god-given force food.

For a queen bee at the king level, 2 million raw stones is not a large amount, but if it is 2 million high-quality god-given force food, it is extremely precious.

"Chief Longbai is generous!"

"Chief Longbai, this is my subordinate Zuo Wang Qingpi. He leads 20,000 worker bees for the breeding and transplanting work. He is fully responsible for the breeding and transplanting work. If there is anything, you can directly give your orders. This is my subordinate Zuo Wang Qingzhi. Use it if necessary. In our place, you can also directly give orders to Qingzhi.”

"good!"

Long Bai clicked his tentacles and responded briefly.

Send the swarm away and get back to work.

After more than half a month of work, the ant nest and the cold storage for storing food were all opened.

Long Cypress also settled on Splitleaf Island.

In the future, fishing on Wanglan Continent will be divided into two areas.

The first area is the sea area due north of the mainland, starting from Hongdao to the east and west for searches.

The second area, the sea area due east of the mainland, starts from the Qianjiao Islands and searches south and north.

The net for collecting food was spread out, but it was too big, and there was not enough space for King Zuo, special blue soldiers, blue ants, worker ants, and mountain ants.

Prioritize replenishing 1,000 mountain ants, worker ants, and blue ants each, and then replenish a large number of specialized blue soldiers.

Long Bai also occasionally went to Longmai Mountain to show up and clearly told him that he was nearby and could respond immediately if there was any movement.

…

Silver cypress 187 years old.

Late spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

Long Bai counted the time and set off, waiting at the entrance of the two-realm passage, the Zhibai continent side.

The Edelweiss Spider King pretended to be carrying a few bags of spider silk and came across the sea.

Long Bai controlled the clouds and flew forward.

"Edelweiss Spider King!"

"Leader Longbai!"

"..."

"You ant, you are so serious! I never thought that the King of Fish Ants would also be killed by you!"

"Never imagined?"

Long Bai came here specially to stop it at sea to talk.

As he spoke, with a thought, the night ability was activated and shrouded.

"Edelweiss Spider King, you must have heard the news, right? That Fish Ant King actually masters the abilities granted by at least six divine fruits such as Silver Touch, Lightning Strike, and Nightfall."

"heard."

The Edelweiss Spider King stared and asked displeasedly: "Ant, what do you mean?"

Long Bai: "Check! Check hard! The divine silver leaf fruit only produces 4 pieces every 13 years. In the past hundred years, the total output should be 28. Where did each one go? Who ate it? After eating it, Is it time to understand your abilities? Show your abilities and see. Whoever takes the divine silver leaf fruit but fails to show the corresponding abilities is a traitor."

The Edelweiss Spider King asked, "What? Can't we destroy Blue Island?"

Long Bai: "Ninety-nine percent sure."

The Edelweiss Spider King asked back: "The King of Fish Ants is dead, and the destruction of Blue Island is imminent. Is there any need to pursue it further?"

Long Bai was observing the reaction of the Snow Velvet Spider King. Seeing this reaction, he immediately confirmed his suspicion and sighed softly:

"As expected, there is a traitor in the Flame Spider tribe, and he has a close relationship with you."

"..."

The Edelweiss Spider King was silent for a long time and asked: "Ant, are you so sure?"

Long Bai said calmly: "Seven-color orchid mantis."

The Edelweiss Spider King asked: "Seven-color Orchid Mantis?"

Long Bai asked back: "You don't know?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I don't know!"

Long Bai: "I don't know either. This is a term spoken by the King of the Fish Ants, but it is definitely not made up by the King of the Fish Ants, nor is it made up by other insects in the mainland. The only explanation is that the King of the Fish Ants heard it from other insects. Reliable news. It may be related to the evolution of the orchid mantis’ racial bloodline. I strongly recommend asking the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

After Long Bai finished speaking, he then changed into a rejoicing tone and said Youyou: "Fortunately, I have become the leader. Now I have some say in the mainland. I can also give orders not to destroy unity and not to pursue this matter anymore."

The Edelweiss Spider King said indifferently: "You ant, you have bad intentions."

Long Bai: "???"

Edelweiss Spider King: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Communicating with smart bugs saves you worry and effort."

Long Bai smiled and said with relief: "Edelweiss Spider King, don't worry, I won't blackmail you. Please take a trip back to Phytolacca and ask a question to Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

The Edelweiss Spider King stared coldly: "Phytolacca fruit? What are you going to give in exchange?"

Long Bai: "God-given seeds? Or wild God-given seeds? Bad news. During the battle, Mo Lan heard from the King of Ants that there were only 800 wild God-given seeds on Blue Island. The war was urgent and needed If more insects are summoned to participate, I'm afraid it won't be enough. As a big leader, I may have to work in vain and won't be able to get a few trees."

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

Long Bai: "However, I can use the authority of the big leader to give you some benefits to the Flame Spider tribe?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "What benefits?"

Long Bai: "King Edelweiss Spider, have you ever considered what to do with the scepter of the God of the Sea after the war?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Permanent use rights? I heard that you allocated a quota to the Phytophthora Flame Spider tribe? I thank you."

"It's a small thing! It should be."

Long Bai: "King Edelweiss Spider, in addition to the scepter of the God of the Ocean, Blue Island has another extremely important thing."

The edelweiss spider king didn't answer.

Long Bai: "That divine seed that can greatly increase the probability of comprehending 'Swallowing by Sea Beasts' and increase the probability of comprehending 'Long'!"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Insatiable ant, now that you have become the leader, can you let this sacred tree go?"

Long Bai said helplessly: "First, I guess that this sacred tree needs to be matched with the scepter of the God of the Ocean to show its supreme value; second, of course I don't want to let it go, but I'm afraid that other insects won't agree. I We don’t want Hongdao to become the next target to be besieged by the entire continent after the war.”

"As for this special divine seed, it definitely cannot be left in Boshu Bay to be together with the scepter of the God of the Ocean. At present, I can think of three places to go: the first is to be managed by the Holy Butterfly Tribe; the second is, The third one is to be managed by Longmaishan; the third one is to be managed by Phytolacca."

"I think it's most appropriate to place it on Phytophaga, using the reputation of the flame spider merchants as a guarantee. King Edelweiss Spider, what do you think?"

The Edelweiss Spider King seemed a little impatient and simply asked: "Ant, how many pokeweed fruits do you plan to exchange?"

Long Bai: "Eight. One each for Mo Lan and I. King Zuo, who is responsible for logistics management under his command, also needs them. Juniper, fragrant cedar, black grape, spade, black locust, and a black birch."

After Long Bai finished speaking, he added: "The transaction is not urgent. We will stay in the Force Star Realm for about 650 years. I guess that the production cycle of Phytolacca fruit is not as long as that of Dawangbai and Ghost King Sophora japonica. It is spread out to 650 years." 8 years is not a pressure."

"..."

After a brief silence,

The Edelweiss Spider King said truthfully: "The flowering and fruiting cycle of Phytolacca fruit is 23 years, and 28 can be produced in 650 years. Your request for a trade of 8 is really not too much."

"But this is not something I can decide. I will go back to the tribe and ask the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

The Edelweiss Spider King put away the webbing bag on his back and set off at full speed.

…

Two days later,

The edelweiss spider king returns galloping.

"Thank you for your hard work, King Edelweiss Spider."

"Ant, you are so smart, guess what the result will be?"

"It is impossible for the ancient wise pokeweed tree to refuse my transaction request."

"anything else?"

"there is none left."

"have!"

"I won't agree to it without you."

"..."

The Edelweiss Spider King was discouraged and said: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree is very interested in your King Cypress and hopes to exchange one or two appropriately."

Long Bai said firmly: "There is no surplus."

Edelweiss Spider King: "What if I tell you very clearly that there is no danger in the outer world? Not only is there no danger, it is also very comfortable, with a wider land, a rich force environment, and abundant resources."

"!!!"

Long Bai was stunned, and subconsciously activated his super brain power. His brain was running and calculating rapidly, and he gently shook his tentacles and said:

"I believe it! But it's safer for me to follow my own plan."

"All right--"

Edelweiss Spider King: "There is one more question. Regarding the God-given seeds, I have already inquired on the mainland. There is really an ant queen and a queen bee here in Wanglan Continent who have endless God-given seeds and are trying to hide them in their life pouches and take them away. , but, no.”

"I asked the Phytolacca Sacred Tree again, but Phytolacca Space cannot do it either. God-given seeds cannot be taken away. There is no way to take them away. This is the power of the divine law. When the Insect King leaves the Force Star Realm, there are only three types of things that can be taken away. The first category is destiny seeds; the second category is the tree heart of a wild god-given seed; the third category is ordinary plant seeds."

The result I had already guessed. Long Bai sighed, speechless.

The Edelweiss Spider King continued: "The creations of the outer civilization do not belong to the Force Star Realm, so they can naturally be taken away at will. However, other than that, when the Zerg warriors leave, they cannot take anything with them from the Star Realm, including raw stones, Force food and other wealth.”

Before Long Bai could speak, the Snow Spider King immediately said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. You'll know when you go back and try it."

Long Bai: "...I believe it."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Well, based on this information, Longbai Ant King, you must be planning to exchange the god-given seeds for Phytolacca fruit, right?"

Long Bai: "Yes——"

The Edelweiss Spider King has the confidence of an old profiteer again.

Long Bai immediately changed the topic and reminded: "Edelweiss Spider King, have you asked for information about the seven-color orchid mantis? What did the Phytolacca Sacred Tree say? Which spider kings has it told?"

"..."

The Edelweiss Spider King was suffocated, hesitated, and said: "Indeed, there once was a group of seven-color orchid mantises..."

"This involves another divine tree of law called the 'Seven-Colored Maple'. A long, long time ago, maybe millions or tens of millions of years ago, there was a mantis kingdom in the Continent of Ten Thousand Races..."

The Edelweiss Spider King completely told the story of the Seven-Colored Sacred Tree, the Seven-Colored Orchid Mantis and the Nine-Colored Mantis King.

Long Bai was a little surprised, but not that surprised.

Orchid mantises possess the talents of the four elements of earth, wood, water, and wind. It can be concluded that their ancestors must have been wealthy. However, I didn’t expect that it would turn out to be an infinitely powerful Law Divine Tree.

Long Bai was suspicious.

It sounds like, how does it feel? The Phytolacca Sacred Tree deliberately revealed the information to the King of Fish Ants through the traitor spider, intending to stimulate the other party and make him despair.

The results of this are nothing more than two: first, the King of Fish Ants takes crazy revenge; second, the King of Fish Ants is rational, restrained, evolves to the 9th age, and leaves the Force Star Realm.

What if it’s the first result? Is it possible that the Phytolacca Sacred Tree had also predicted that the King of Fish Ants would be the first to take revenge on Fengyuan Mountain, and also knew that Mo Lan would go to Fengyuan Mountain to ambush?

If so, then the Phytolacca Sacred Tree would be too terrifying.

Long Bai asked tentatively: "King Edelweiss Spider, so the Phytophthora Sacred Tree actually has combat capabilities? And has extraordinary combat effectiveness?"

"no doubt!"

The Xuerong Spider King said with lingering fear: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree always threatens to kill us and break our spider legs. Until now, everyone thought it was just a threat and didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that we may have been lingering. On the verge of being beaten to death and maimed.”

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree has been paying attention to the situation on the mainland?"

The Edelweiss Spider King: "The Phytophaga Sacred Tree does not care about this and will not allow us to participate in the war on the mainland. However, as usual, if the situation on the continent changes, we will immediately inform all wild animals in our ancestral land, including the Phytolacca Sacred Tree. God-given seed.”

Edelweiss Spider King: "Longbai Ant King, you too, try your best to instill as much information into your god-given seeds as possible, which will help them understand the world and improve their wisdom. After thousands of years of accumulation, after many factors, With the accumulation of force reincarnation cycles, more information has been collected, and when they hear the beginning of what happened on the mainland, they know the end."

"oh--"

Long Bai twitched his tentacles, expressed his deep approval, and then asked: "What about the outcome of our decisive battle with Blue Island this time? Does the Phytolacca Sacred Tree know the result?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Perhaps, I should really ask and confirm..."

Edelweiss Spider King: "From the bottom of my heart, everyone agrees that Blue Island is finished, right? Anyway, based on my wisdom, I can't think of any other way for Blue Island to deal with it. The only variable is that the scepter of the God of the Ocean is still hidden. Possessing some unknown and powerful ability. But it’s impossible for a cunning ant like you to find out, right?"

Long Bai was speechless and returned to the topic, asking: "What do you say about the Phytolacca fruit transaction?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Calculated based on the annual income from the God-given seeds. The tiered price is to exchange two pokeweed fruits, the unit price is 1.5 million; exchange the third and fourth fruit, the unit price is 2 million; exchange the fifth and sixth fruit, the unit price 2.5 million; exchange the seventh and eighth pieces for a unit price of 3 million."

Long Bai calculated silently in his mind.

The average price is 2.25 million.

A god-given seed with an annual income of around 2.25 million.

Maybe a bit expensive.

But if it is true as what the Phytolacca Sacred Tree said, the God-given seeds cannot be taken away, then the price is not unacceptable.

The Edelweiss Spider King suggested again: "The seventh and eighth can be exchanged with Wang Baizi at a one-to-one price. In this way, the price will be very affordable."

"Wang Baizi really doesn't have enough money." Long Bai shook his tentacles and refused.

It can be felt that the Phytolacca Sacred Tree attaches great importance to Wang Baizi's ability to 'adapt to evolution'.

To be valued by a being like Phytolacca Sacred Tree is undoubtedly the highest recognition for Wang Baizi.

Long Bai was secretly happy and added: "Edelweiss Spider King, you can ask the Phytolacca Sacred Tree to name a group of flame spider warriors that it thinks are good. In the future, I went to the outer world and met Wang Baizi. If you have enough money, you can consider trading to them first.”

Who can control the affairs of the outer world?

The Snow Spider King choked for two seconds and agreed: "...Okay then."

The Edelweiss Spider King put on a solemn tone and said: "Ant, speaking of the outer world, the Phytolacca Sacred Tree has an important message for you."

"You should have felt that junior, intermediate, and advanced warriors are one big realm, and mountain lord, lord, and king levels are another big realm."

“I had a profound feeling very early on!”

Long Bai moved his tentacles solemnly, guessing what the Snow Spider King was going to say next. His eyes sparkled, waiting for the next words.

The Edelweiss Spider King continued: "The realms that junior, intermediate, and advanced warriors belong to are called the 'original realm', which is the most elementary realm where life in the Force is born."

"The great realm that the Mountain Lord, Lord, and Insect King belong to is called the 'Source Power Realm', which is the starting state for the growth of the life force of the Force. Under normal circumstances, the growth of the Insect King stage is very simple. There is no need to understand the divine patterns and eat enough Force. Food can evolve.”

Long Bai couldn't help but said: "For example, the Zuowang of the ant tribe and the bee tribe? There is also the sea crab warrior, Xun, who is not protected by the nature god."

"That's right! Their growth and evolution are normal, and we..."

The Edelweiss Spider King paused and said: "The True God of Nature has bound the Zerg warriors with laws. Each age of the king-level stage must condense at least one divine pattern. As for why..."

"The next big realm of the evolution of life in the Force is called the 'mark realm', which is subdivided into three stages: three marks, nine marks, and star marks. Now, the 'ability divine patterns' we have condensed are actually the next big realm. The prototype of 'Hen'. The True God of Nature, with his supreme power, changed the rules of evolution in the Force Star Realm and helped us condense 'Hen' in advance. In this way, when we enter the outer world, as long as we have sufficient resources, we can Quickly complete the evolution of the scar realm, master powerful power, and then gain a better foothold in the outer world."

Long Bai roughly understood and kept tapping his tentacles.

Edelweiss Spider King: "The basic principles of evolution for all Force life are the same. The same is true for animals, and the same is true for plants. Plants are slower and more difficult. King Longbai Ant, you and Mo Lan have many God-given seeds. How many of them are there? Successfully condensed the divine pattern?"

"Did not notice……"

Long Bai shook his tentacles.

God-given seeds do not need to condense divine patterns, they only need to be condensed into the heart of a tree to follow, so I have not cared about this issue.

It seems that apart from the blue and king cypresses, there is not one...

Azure itself has fallen from a very, very high level of evolution.

King Cypress is a divine tree of laws and has innate advantages.

Long Bai understood what the Snow Spider King wanted to express.

The Edelweiss Spider King said: "When we capture Blue Island and divide the wild god-given seeds, whether there are divine patterns condensed and how many divine patterns are condensed is also an important reference standard."

"Now we feel that the growth and evolution of God-given seeds is slow? In fact, this is not the case. The Force Star Realm is protected by the divine power of the True God of Nature. It is easiest to perceive the original energy and condense the divine patterns. The evolution and growth of plants are already the fastest. After going to the outer world, Without the protection of divine power, that is true slowness.”

"Understood!"

Long Bai asked: "What's the next big realm after the Mark Realm?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I don't know. The Phytolacca Sacred Tree only said so much. Moreover, I have just heard of this information."

Long Bai asked: "How does the Phytolacca Sacred Tree know about things outside the sky?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "I don't know. However, I guess it must be that a powerful Spider King that it sent away once came back secretly."

Long Bai: "It should be like this..."

"That's all I know."

The Edelweiss Spider King changed the subject and asked: "Did you and Mo Lan earn billions in bounties from last year's battle? Do you want to go to Yanqing Mountain and settle the accounts together?"

Long Bai: "Let's go together! There are still many matters to be dealt with in the Bo Shuwan Alliance."

Edelweiss Spider King: "Choose the ant queen and bee queen, activate the food reserves, explode the troops, and prepare for the capture of Bafangzhou?"

Long Bai: "Over at Wanglan Continent, the information about the 'refining ability' I have has not spread yet, and the five leaders of Boshu Bay have not informed it. It is not appropriate to always hide something from them. I will tell you later, Xue Velvet Spider King, please warn them at the right time and never spread the word, or you may cause serious damage..."

Long Bai and the Edelweiss Spider King discussed and passed through the two-realm passage and rushed to Yanqing Mountain. (End of chapter)
