Astral Ant Tribe

Very early on, when Long Bai was still an intermediate warrior, he spent time studying the flavoring of Force Ant Honey.

Later, it was all done by the king of juniper, cedar, black birch, spade, and black locust.

Long Bai understands it, but rarely operates it himself and is not familiar with it.

…

…

Blue star system.

In the early autumn of Panlanxing's northern hemisphere, the nighttime temperature in the northern frigid zone has dropped below the freezing point.

According to the descriptions of red berries and raspberries, the black bilberries produced in the cold highland plains are particularly sweet and delicious.

Long Bai controlled the beast and transformed into an ice centipede. He carried Nebula You and a large group of blue soldiers, green soldiers, worker ants, flying ants, and blue ants, soaring at low altitude and traveling to the plateau.

Under the special climate, the black bilberries growing here have become dwarfed and turned into creeping shrubs with a height of only 20 to 30 centimeters, growing almost close to the ground.

The fruits produced are smaller in size and less in quantity.

Picking and tasting, it tastes really good.

Long Bai found a hilltop, dug a temporary ant nest, and arranged for the blue ants to move in.

There could be no danger on the planet, and the accompanying fighting ant army was just a decoration. These guys seemed to understand this, and wandered around in groups wherever they went.

Nebula Pomelo leads the ant colony and directs the picking.

Bilberries are berries with thin skins that can be damaged by the slightest touch when ripe.

It is picked and fed to the blue ants in the wild. It is refined on the spot and stored in the belly.

Xingyunyou is busy,

The colony of fighting ants wandering in the distance suddenly became restless and quickly moved closer, assuming a combat alert posture.

When the working worker ants and blue ants received the warning signal, they all stopped working and formed groups. Some of them approached Nebula You, and some ran towards Long Bai.

While running, he also releases pheromones: King, help me~

"..."

Xingyunyou was surprised. With the soul strength at the peak of the king level, he scanned with his mental power and found no danger within a kilometer radius.

Moreover, where does the danger come from in a newly opened planet?

"Come back! Come back!"

"Come back to me!"

"Work!"

"Work!"

"Collect! Collect!"

"Refining! Refining!"

Nebula You waved its tentacles and issued instructions to forcibly recall the fleeing logistics ants.

A smart, specialized blue soldier ran forward and flicked his tentacles to signal: Over there, the force life

"Force life?!"

Xingyunyou was confused, but then she realized what she was doing.

Long Bai issued a death order to all the ants in the ant colony: no attack on any force life.

Ant colonies act out of instinctive vigilance.

Where does the life of the Force come from in this place? The only explanation is that a little warrior was born on this ice field.

"great!"

"The king was still nagging the year before last. There were too few little warriors born in the past six hundred years."

Xingyunyou was delighted and gave the order: You! lead the way!

The special blue soldier waved his tentacles to indicate that he should follow and ran towards the distance.

A large group of specialized blue soldiers and green soldiers followed.

Xingyun Youyou ran after him, scanning with his mental energy all the way, and soon made a discovery.

Two bumblebees, three to four centimeters long, round and bloated, with a black background and a white stripe on their head, chest and abdomen, were flying low against the bushes carrying freshly collected bilberry fruits.

Apparently they also discovered the ant colony and accelerated as fast as they could.

"Bee tribe!"

"Snow Bumblebee!"

“There’s a Snow Bumblebee Queen nearby!”

"The little queen bee at the elementary level of evolution."

Nebula You was secretly happy and waved her tentacles to issue instructions.

The following fighting ants stopped and retreated.

Nebula Pomelo hung far behind the worker bees picking lingonberries and followed them.

The journey is not far,

There is a raised hill about seven or eight hundred meters away.

Bumblebees build their hives underground, under small hills.

The scale is also small, just over one meter deep.

It should be a brand new little queen bee that was just born in the summer. The number of logistics, field service, and combat worker bees combined is only a few hundred.

The desolate cold wind carrying the icy water vapor of the snow-capped mountains whines endlessly. They have a premonition that the severe winter is coming, and they are desperately digging deep into the ground to expand their nests and hoard food.

The worker bees trained by the junior queen bee were too stupid. The two worker bees who led the way discovered an abnormality, but they did not know to report it to the queen bee. After entering the nest, they took two mouthfuls of honey and hurriedly left the nest again...

——Will it scare it?

Xingyun Youyou hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached, gathered her mental strength, and called softly: "Little Queen Bee~Little Queen Bee~"

The little queen bee who was directing the swarm to dig deep to build the nest was agitated, alert and frightened.

The busy bee swarm is aware of the danger at any time. Some of them guard the queen bee, and some of them rush out of the hive in a fierce manner...

Xingyunyou reassured: "Don't be afraid. I'm from the ant tribe. I don't mean any harm. My name is Xingyunyou, what's your name?"

The little queen bee quickly recovered from her fright and hurriedly gave the order: Come back! return!

The fighting worker bees who rushed out of the hive were frightened when they saw the oversized ants in front of them. After receiving the order, they scrambled to hide back in the hive.

Nebula You observed and saw that the little queen bee was at a loss as to where she was. She continued to introduce:

"I am the Xianglan Chamber of Commerce, the subordinate king of Longbai Ant King."

"This is the azure star system, Panlan Star, contracted by the Pandan Chamber of Commerce. According to the Zerg Civilization Convention, the Zerg warriors born here will be cared for by our Pandan Chamber of Commerce until they reach the Three Marks Realm."

Pandan Chamber of Commerce?

Long Bai Ant King?

A blue star system?

Zerg civilization?

Three marks realm?

The little queen bee did not understand the meaning of these words, but she roughly understood the meaning of the other party's words.

The little queen bee hesitated for a while, then directed the combat worker bees to line up, escorting her from front to back, and walked out of the hive.

He lay down at the entrance of the honeycomb hole and looked around.

Looking forward, he was immediately frightened and backed away tremblingly.

What a big black ant!

"Hello~"

Xingyunyou tried his best to make his mental power and thoughts appear amiable.

"..."

The little queen bee subconsciously retreated to the ant nest, hesitated for two seconds, resurfaced, and looked at Nebula You again.

——For such a big man, he must be at least a mountain lord-level assistant king, right?

——If the other party has malicious intentions, a small earthen nest cannot hide it.

The little queen bee's plump body shook and she calmly walked out of the cave.

With a weak soul and insufficient mental strength, it crawled on the ground and slowly approached, stopping about three meters away from Nebula Youzu.

"Hello~"

The little queen bee asked: "Powerful King Zuo of the Ant Tribe, do you have a problem with me?"

Xingyunyou: "..."

Xingyunyou explained: "According to the rules, we can provide force food to help you grow and evolve until you reach the three-mark realm."

"What is the Three Marks Realm?"

The little queen bee was puzzled.

Inheriting memories, the evolutionary levels of Zerg warriors are elementary, intermediate, advanced, as well as mountain lord, lord, and insect king, a total of six major levels.

Nebula You suddenly reacted and explained: "Beyond the Insect King is the Three Marks Realm."

"Above the Insect King?"

The little queen bee was stunned and startled, "Shouldn't there be a god of nature above the insect king?"

"How can it be!"

Xingyun Youyou explained in detail: "There are three realms above the Insect King: Three Marks, Nine Marks, Star Marks; Half Star, Planet, Star; Yao Realm, Chen Realm, Su Realm, and Domination Realm. It is still infinitely short of the Divine Realm. Far distance."

"ah--"

The little queen bee was stunned again.

Where do so many realms come from?

Why didn't you mention inheriting memories?

Then when and how long will it take for me to evolve into a being like a natural god?

The little queen bee asked: "What state are you in?"

Xingyunyou: "I am just king level."

Then you're not great either~

It's just that it's relatively big.

The little queen bee secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then asked: "What state is your ant queen in?"

Nebula You: "Longbai Ant King is the pinnacle of the half-star realm."

peak?

The little queen bee did the math.

Still far from a natural god.

Still not great.

The little queen bee is no longer afraid.

"You just said that you can provide Force food?"

"Yes. We provide Force food to all Zerg born in the azure star system to help them evolve and grow until they reach the Three Marks Realm. After the Three Marks Realm, you can choose to join our Pandan Chamber of Commerce, or you can develop on your own."

"oh--"

The little queen bee questioned: "Above the insect king is the three-mark realm? Then don't you only have the king level? Do you also support other insects?"

Xingyun Youyou explained patiently: "I am also the new Zuo King who was just born. The old Zuo King who first followed the Dragon Cypress Ant King is already at the half-star level."

The little queen bee was doubtful, "The half-star realm isn't that powerful, right? There are many realms above."

Nebula You: "Looking at the universe, the half-star realm is indeed not powerful. But it is definitely not weak."

"The semi-star realm is the level of life in the universe. It has a long enough life and strong strength to carry out various interstellar activities."

"The planet under your feet was originally a desolate Death Star without a trace of life. It took more than four thousand years for our Pandan Chamber of Commerce to organize warriors to cultivate and manage it, and developed it into the prosperous life planet it is now."

"All life on this plateau, including you and the Snow Bumblebee group to which you belong, are the seeds of life that we, the Pandan Chamber of Commerce, have sown, protected and multiplied."

"oh--"

"So...it's pretty awesome..."

The little queen bee thought and asked: "Force food? Can I try it?"

"I carry no Force food."

Xingyunyou asked: "What's your name? You were just born, and you're still in the 1st instar? What did you choose for your first life seed?"

Little Queen Bee: "..."

Little Queen Bee: "Hilberry."

Xingyunyou: "Then your name..."

Little Queen Bee: "Black bilberry?"

Xingyunyou: "Uh..."

Xingyunyou waved his tentacles and said, "I'll take you to see the Longbai Ant King!"

…

…

This trip is boring, so I came out to get some delicious food.

Just a short break for two days.

Long Bai commanded the ant colony and simply dug a few nest chambers at the foot of the majestic snow-capped mountains. He then commanded the specialized blue ants to settle in and it was considered complete.

After finishing his work, he came out of the nest and was about to carefully examine the distribution of living creatures around him. When he suddenly realized something, he turned around in confusion and looked into the distance.

Xingyun Youyou acted alone and walked towards this side unhurriedly.

As soon as his soul-fixing ability was swept away, he immediately understood the situation.

Found the little Zerg warrior!

Queen bee!

Snow bumblebee!

A group of graceful snow bumble bee warriors with black background and white stripes were guarding a queen bee that was about four centimeters in length, flying low behind Nebula Youyou.

"Your Majesty!"

Xingyun Youyou called with vibrating mental power from a long distance, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, I found a little queen bee!"

"Saw."

Long Bai responded and stepped forward.

"Hurry up and say hello. Chief Longbai."

Nebula Pomelo prompts.

"..."

The little queen bee was confused.

Shouldn't it be Long Bai Ant King?

Big boss? What kind of strange name is this?

Are you still not a Zerg?

The little queen bee hovered and landed on a black bilberry, waved her tentacles, and greeted: "Hello~"

"Hello~"

Long Bai looked at it closely and asked: "Primary stage 1? What did you choose for the first seed?"

The little queen bee pointed her tentacles downward and said: "Black bilberry."

Long Bai asked: "Do you have a name?"

The little queen bee shook her tentacles in confusion.

Long Bai looked at Nebula Pomelo and said, "Then you can call it 'Nebula Cranberry'."

Little Queen Bee: "..."

Little Queen Bee: "I heard that you provide Force food to help me evolve?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Little Queen Bee: "Well, please tell me, who can I get the Force food from?"

Xingyunyou was speechless and said helplessly: "This little guy came here with me because he heard about free force food."

"Those who grew fat when they were young are usually smarter than insects."

Long Bai made an objective comment and ordered: "Nebula Cranberry, you follow Nebula Pomelo first and wait for a while. I will go back to the ant nest to get the force food and will be back soon."

Nebula Huckleberry: "Okay-"

Long Bai kicked his legs into the air, wind and thunder energy surged, flickering, his wingless ability activated, and disappeared into the sky.

Heading south at top speed.

Soon, more than two thousand kilometers away, through soul connection, I sensed the 'artist' sitting deep in the ant nest in North District 1001, meditating on the throne of control.

The artist traveled through space, teleported here, and then transformed into a half-ant artist, carrying Long Bai across space and back to the frigid plateau.

"!!!"

Nebula Cranberry was startled by the sudden appearance of the half-ant-shaped artist in front of her, and was stunned when she saw the artist shrink rapidly and turn into a blue-purple-red water droplet and sink into Long Bai's forehead.

A light flashed on Long Bai's forehead, and a metal can appeared out of thin air, floating in front of him, and the lid of the can automatically unscrewed.

Bend the tentacles and tap lightly, and the soil in front of you will squirm, turn into a disk, and condense and solidify.

From the metal can, a drop of golden ant king honey flew out and fell into the plate.

Nebula Huckleberry stared blankly, dumbfounded again.

"Is this the Half-Star Realm?"

"So many abilities?"

"It's too strong!"

"What ability was that just now?"

"Why did you show up all of a sudden?"

"Is this Force food?"

"Where did you get it?"

When I came back to my senses, there was a long list of questions that became more and more incredible the more I thought about them.

Amazing!

God-like power.

Is this still only the half-star realm?

How powerful would the God of Nature be?

"Nebula Cranberry, this is the King Ant Honey I prepared, please try it quickly."

Xing Yunyou greeted.

"oh--"

Nebula Cranberry's worries were completely dispelled.

To deal with such a terrifying existence, isn't it just a matter of moving its tentacles?

Nebula Cranberry pays attention to maintaining the elegance that a queen bee should have, hovering, landing on the stone plate, burying her head, rolling her tongue, taking away a little ant honey, and tasting it with her head raised.

"tasty!"

Nebula Cranberry then asked: "Is this Force food? It seems, very powerful~"

Xingyunyou patiently explained: "This is of course not ordinary force food. This is super high-quality god-given force food produced from the god-given seeds of the Mark Realm and Star Realm."

"Our Pandan Chamber of Commerce is rich, and the leader of Longbai is grand, so we use the best force food to support the young warriors. Other chambers of commerce do not have such good treatment."

"oh--"

"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"

Nebula Cranberry flicked its tentacles to show understanding, and spit out a roll of its two to three centimeter long tongue. Most of the ant honey in the plate was rolled into its belly, and then spit out another roll, sweeping away every drop of ant honey.

"Delicious!"

Nebula Cranberry looked up at the low-hanging metal can and said regretfully: "But the strengthening effect of this god-given force food is too powerful. I feel that I can't eat too much every day..."

After saying that, he lay down quietly, silently absorbing and digesting the original energy into his body.

"This is the smart bug!"

Long Bai praised again.

There is a shadow of my own childhood.

Xingyunyou asked: "Your Majesty, the seeds of Nebula's blueberries haven't been sown yet. Can they take root in a place with better climate conditions?"

"Of course~!"

Long Bai: "We can arrange to go to Gray Pine Mountain to take root. Is Scale Oak in charge there?"

"The bees and ants in the weak stage have instinctive bees and ant colonies, have a strong sense of territoriality, and have low judgment ability, and will inevitably conflict with other insect races."

"You can arrange for Nebula Cranberry to open another hive a little further away from Gray Pine Mountain. Nebula Pomelo, you can protect it secretly."

"In two or three years, they will evolve to the intermediate level and have the ability to protect themselves, so they won't need to take special care of them. In the future, they will evolve to the mountain master level and the identification abilities of their subordinate bees will be improved, so it will be less likely to conflict with other insects."

Xingyunyou happily agreed: "I understand. Your Majesty."

Nebula Cranberry: "..."

Nebula Cranberry raised her head, wanting to say something, but after looking at the suspended metal can, she lowered her head and fell silent.

…

…

There are six living planets in the azure star system. Long Bai ordered that a territory dedicated to the survival of little warriors be established in the tropical and temperate regions of the northern hemisphere of each living planet.

The little warrior will take root on the planet where he was born.

All little warriors can choose two or three of their favorite plants as life seeds, but for the remaining places, priority must be given to top-notch plants such as soul-building tree, black lotus, wise cypress, and silver cypress as life seeds.

…

Gray Pine Mountain is a territory located in the temperate zone of Panlan Star.

Long Bai took Nebula Huckleberry and personally helped it choose a hilltop to take root.

He stayed nearby, successfully passed the winter, assisted by the control throne, and completed two molts and evolutions, and then he was able to safely leave it to Nebula Youyou's care.

…

…

The operation of zero-level source points is divided into two modes: rough operation and fine management.

Intensive farming is divided into management by Zerg warriors and management by ants and bees.

A single Zerg warrior can only manage a garden covering an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers at most.

The advantage is that Zerg warriors can learn and master some abilities to assist plant growth, and can manage plants more accurately and better. You can also select and breed new varieties of high-quality plants by learning corresponding technologies.

Ant tribes and bee tribes use Zuo Wang to command tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ants to achieve large-scale management. One Zuo Wang can manage tens of thousands of square kilometers of gardens.

The disadvantage is that worker ants and worker bees have little independent thinking ability. They only work instinctively or follow the instructions of the ant king and the king, and lack the ability to identify, recognize and solve problems.

Gardens managed by ants and bees must be planted with hundreds or thousands of high-quality plants, otherwise, it will easily lead to ecological imbalance.

In intensive farming mode, Zerg warriors and ant bees each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, most chambers of commerce prefer to invite ant tribes and bee tribes to cooperate when operating zero-level sources.

Cooperation models are roughly divided into two types: either fixed salary payment; or profit sharing.

…

The situation here in the blue star system is different.

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce has a vital plant called the Soul-Constructing Tree, as well as a unique plant called the Black Lotus.

Need to watch out for seed leakage.

There is also the secret of technological star core that needs to be kept secret.

so,

Long Bai does not intend to let the outer insects participate in the management of the blue star system.

Long Bai himself is the ant king, so he can cultivate more kings. Over time, the number of kings will increase, and he will be able to achieve refined management of the entire star system.

As for queen bees like Nebula Cranberry, one more is not too much, one less is not enough. They are good at collecting honey, which is a unique skill that Longbai's ant colony is not good at.

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce has jobs for Nebula Huckleberry, and it can support itself through work.

Think long term,

The Pandan Chamber of Commerce can recruit a few more ant queens and bee queens, which can accommodate six living planets and 3 billion square kilometers.

In the future, leasing and operating the second and third zero-level source points may require cooperation with the ant queen and bee queen from the Boshuwan United Kingdom.
