Astral Ants

Chapter 159 Can Ants Be Lazy?

With the help of the ruling throne, the green maple and the red maple successfully completed the moulting evolution.

They grew up eating all kinds of high-quality force food since they were young, and the beetles were already relatively large. After evolving into 7th-year-old junior fighters, the body length of the two guys reached about 13 centimeters.

At this size, it can almost survive independently.

In the vacuum of the wild force, they can also escape from the shelter of the throne and help pick wild fruits.

In the sound of Sang Yi's reluctant farewell, the ruling throne set off with the green maple and the red maple, and rushed straight to Nansuanzao Mountain.

Search for the god-given seed.

It is the kind bestowed by the gods of southern jujube to loosen the soil and fertilize it.

A large number of common southern jujube fruits are picked and refined into ant honey.

It took 7 days before and after, all busy, and set off to the north, Heilian Lake in front of you.

Bai Liu immediately noticed that the ruling throne was approaching, so he galloped up to meet him, and when he got close, he turned over and stopped suddenly, then backed up and flew slowly in step with the throne.

"Longcypress Ant King!"

"Green maple! Red maple!"

"Where's Molan?"

Bai Liu greeted her with a question.

Qing Maple: "The Dragon Cypress Ant King discovered a place of force, where the wreckage of a starship from an extraterrestrial civilization fell."

Red Maple: "Mo Lan is hunting for treasure."

Qingfeng: "I have found something good."

Red Maple: "This fall, we will work for the Cypress Ant King."

Qingfeng: "Let's help Molan!"

These two little guys have been talking about treasure hunting with Mo Lan.

Long Bai: "Mo Lan may have time to come here for fishing in winter. He found an interesting creation of an extraterrestrial civilization. Bai Liu, you must like it."

"Fun? What fun?"

Bai Liu is about the same age as Long Bai, so he can't be regarded as an ignorant little soldier, but it may be because of his low level of evolution and living alone in Heilian Lake, but he has a very playful heart.

As soon as I heard it was fun, I immediately became interested.

Long Bai patiently told Bai Liu about the discovery of Hanlan Mountain and the wreckage of the starship.

The reigning throne landed on the hillside where the biogas pit was opened.

Long Bai put down the board, waved his tentacles, and gave instructions.

Hei Ti led 30 large worker ants, 6 fasting specialized blue ants, and 10 large soldier ants along the board to the ground.

Blue ants enter the temporary ant nest next to them to rest.

Long Bai carried a medium-sized spider silk bag and jumped to the ground.

"Bai Liu, I have a small matter to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"I plan to plant large-scale southern jujube fruit trees. I plan to open two nurseries here to cultivate fruit seedlings."

"Okay! Okay! I can take care of you!"

Long Bai: "Ah—"

You can't even take care of your own life seeds~
Long Bai shook his tentacles lightly.

Heiti trotted forward.

Long Bai introduced: "This is Heiti, a very clever specialized chemical ant, it can barely direct other worker ants to do their work."

Can specialized chemical ants also command ant colonies?Bai Liu tilted her head to look at it, feeling strange.

Long Bo paused, and then said: "I will leave Heiti here first, and lead the worker ants to clean up the weeds on the hillside over there, and open up a nursery. I will stay and spend two days helping to clean up a few big trees that are in the way gone."

Long Bai handed the spider silk bag to Bai Liu, and said, "It's full of southern jujubes, Bai Liu, please help put it away first."

"OK--"

Bai Liu is now a 7th-year-old intermediate winged fighter, with a wingspan of more than two meters. After eating the god-given southern jujube, the wing membrane has been optimized, and his flying ability has been strengthened.

After receiving the spider silk bag, he flapped his wings lightly, lifted off lightly, and quickly flew to the cave where he lived, and soon flew back with a spider silk bag.

"Longbai, this year's output of life seed in my territory!"

"Oh. Let me see..."

Long Bai took it for inspection.

White willow seeds with fluff, water calamus seeds and black lotus seeds are mixed into a large bag.

There is also a problem with the choice of life species of Bailiu at the beginning. The life species of Bailiu and water calamus both strengthen the ability of water elements.Brightwing Warrior is a water-type talent, but it should not be eaten before the Mountain Master level.

Long Bai bought it, and he and Mo Lan helped it digest it.

Black lotus seeds are a good thing, but the output is not large. Longbai bought them for Molan and Shanshi.

The other life species of the white willow either did not produce much and could not eat enough for themselves; or they followed the suggestion of Longbai and chose large trees, which have not yet grown to a large scale.

Bai Liu's territory has almost no benefits to speak of.

"This year's production has increased slightly? 500 rough stones." Long Bai briefly read and quoted.

Things moved to the throne, and at the same time, he took 2 cans of Force Ant Honey worth 1000 rough stones/can, put it in a spider silk bag and handed it to Bai Liu, and said:

"Eat these two cans in four months, and you can be promoted to the 8th age next spring."

"thanks--"

Bai Liu took it shyly.

Being stared at by the two little soldiers Qingfeng and Hongfeng, I feel uncomfortable.

Long Bai waved his tentacles and said, "Bai Liu, pack up your things first. Take Qing Feng and Hong Feng to play by the lake. I'll arrange work for Hei Ti."

……

Long Bai stayed in Heilian Lake for two days, directing Hei Ti and the worker ants to slightly expand the temporary ant nest, and brought down a few big trees that were in the way.

Hei Ti left the rest of the work.

The reigning throne continued to set off with Green Maple and Red Maple.

First go back to Xianglan Mountain, put down the full belly of blue ants, replace them with fasting blue ants, pack your bags, and head north.

Stop and go along the way, collecting wild fruits.

Come to Bailian Lake and wander around to search for the god-given seed.

No gain.

Continue north.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, I concentrated on my journey and headed north to Yinbai Mountain, the last transaction of this year.

...

...

...

Black Lotus Lake.

mountain top.

Holding the metal can, Bai Liu stretched her slender forelimbs into the can, dipped a little bit of Force Ant Honey, licked it clean, then dipped a little bit into the can, and licked it clean...

The sun is so comfortable today!
Bai Liu's heart was sweet, and she was indescribably happy.

Looking down at the hillside,

Some novelty, but also very puzzled.

Didn't Long Bai arrange them to work?
Why are you lying at the entrance of the ant nest to bask in the sun?
They also think today's sunshine is good?

Bai Liu watched the worker ants and soldier ants on the hillside below, watching them lie down from sunrise to sunset.

At dusk, the specialized chemical ant named Heiti finally moved, stood up, waved its antennae, and the ant colony followed suit.

They go into the forest and rummage in the grass, bushes, and under the trees. The soldier ants are responsible for hunting, hunting all kinds of small insects and small animals, and the worker ants are responsible for carrying them back to the ant nest.

Then, until it was dark, the nest was not seen.

Bai Liu suddenly came to his senses and understood a little bit, but it was even more strange: ants can still be lazy?
the next morning,

Bai Liu came to the mountain early in the morning and stood on a high place to observe.

at sunrise,
The specialized chemical ant named Heiti led the workers and soldier ants out of the nest, commanded the colony, and symbolically pulled out the weeds for a while.

The sun turned golden, and when they hung in mid-air, they gathered up and returned to the entrance of the ant nest, where they gathered together in threes and fives to bask in the sun.

Just like yesterday, I didn't go into the forest to hunt until dusk, and went back to the nest to rest...

Bai Liu understood it, she was sure that these guys were just being lazy!

That guy named Hei Ti took the lead in being lazy!

Back to yesterday's question: Can ants be lazy?

Obviously it will!
——Does Long Bai know?

— Shall I go down and supervise them?
The next day, early in the morning.

Hei Ti led the worker ants out of the nest, walked slowly to the nursery divided by Longbai, and called the other worker ants to work, while he found a stone, lay down on it, and took the lead to supervise the workers.

A black shadow descended from the sky, circled above Heiti's head, and landed beside him.

Bai Liu couldn't communicate with the worker ants, so she just stared at it: work!

Heiti was startled instinctively, confused, and also stared at Bai Liu for a while, knowing that this was the king's friend, so he didn't panic at all, waved his tentacles, and continued to lie on his stomach with peace of mind.

When the morning sun was basking comfortably, Heiti stood up and called the worker ants and the soldier ants scattered around to gather in front of the ant nest, enjoying the sunbath under the glaring gaze of the white willow.

"Work!"

Bai Liu vigorously flapped her wings and pointed to the weeds on the hillside.

Hei Ti looked at Bai Liu, turning a blind eye.

"Work! Work!"

Bai Liu urged hard.

Hei Ti turned around and turned his back to Bai Liu.

Bai Liu: "..."

Bai Liu was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Let's wait for Long Bai to come over, tell Long Bai, let Long Bai teach them a lesson.
